In the sixth year of Pingxi, the fifth year after Lin Qingwan left, floods occurred in Zishui and Yuanshui, and both Liang and Shu were affected, among which Shu was more serious.

The flood broke out in May, but the disaster was not effectively controlled until July, and many Shu people flowed into Liang through the mutual market.

Because the area of Zishui and Yuanshui is the old land of Chu, the people have many relatives, the two countries can not stop, and then in January, the grain and grass of the Liang State were robbed in the area of Zishui.

Emperor Liang was furious and ordered Xiang Shan to arrest and behead the offender as an example.

But people have already run back to Shu, how can Xiang Shan say that he will be arrested?

As a result, the two countries clashed, the Liang army brazenly entered Shu, and the Liang-Shu Covenant, which had been maintained for six years, was broken.

Xiang Shan, Lin Xin and Zhong Ruying divided their troops into three routes and attacked Shu at the same time, the Northeast Army imposed martial law in the Youyun area, and Cui Zheng and Lu Zhen served as reserves to support the front line.

The Liang army is menacing, Shu didn't expect them to fight when they say to fight, there is no preparation at all, the most terrible thing is that the Chu land in the Yuanshui area because of their poor disaster relief, the people's grievances are very heavy, the Liang army arrived, the local people first took refuge in the Liang army, and some also formed a group, took the initiative to injure the soldiers defending the city, opened the city gate and let the Liang army enter the city.

Seeing this, Xiang Shan and Lin Xin reported to the imperial court, and Yao Shi brought Xiang Mindus and others to the disaster.

These people are now officials in the court, and they are already famous, especially Xiang Min, who is from Chu, and what he said is much more effective than what the officials in Shu said.

Xiang Shan was originally the national hero of Emperor Chu, and if he led troops at this time, not to mention the rest of Shu for the time being, half of the Chu State occupied by them could be easily conquered.

Liang Guo has always insisted on putting Xiang Shan in Jingnan Province, and the role has finally been revealed.

When Xiang Shan surrendered, the arrangements for him have been deadlocked between the DPRK and China.

Most of the courtiers felt that Xiang Shan was a general, and he had such prestige in Chu, and it was too dangerous to put him in Chu again.

I'm afraid that by then, the people of Jingnan Province will only know Xiang Shan, but not Emperor Liang.

It was Lin Qingwan, Yao Shi, Lu Shangshu and others who insisted that Xiang Shan stay in Chu and also led his original army.

In the past few years, although Chu Di has been harmonious, they are indeed more convinced of Xiang Shan than Emperor Liang.

Fortunately, although Emperor Liang was a little mindful in his heart, he thought about it very much, and kept remembering what Lin Qingwan said, "The people of Chu don't remember Your Majesty, but as long as Xiang Shan remembers Your Majesty, it's fine." And there is only one Xiang Shan in Chudi, he is now old, at least ten years, at most fifteen years, he should also retire. When there is no Xiang Shan, will you remember Your Majesty? ”

Lin Qingwan smiled firmly at that time: "Your Majesty is younger than Xiang Shan, this is your advantage, don't believe it, you can watch it." ”

The best descendants of the Xiang family are now officials in Beijing, no one goes to the army to take over Xiang Shan's hand, and now the people of Chu only remember Xiang Shan, but what about ten or twenty years later?

It's like the Northeast Army.

Back then, when it was still the Lin family's army, the Northeast, no, it should be the entire Liang Kingdom, who knows the first emperor?

But looking at it now, how many people remember Lin Ying, and how many people remember the first emperor?

And now the people of Liang State remember the first emperor, and only when enough is done now, long enough, will people gradually cover the former with existing memories.

So time is the biggest advantage of Xindi.

Therefore, he only had to buy his courtiers, so that they would remember him in their hearts, and lay the foundation for the people to remember him in the future.

And now, the effect of the people of Chu remembering Xiang Shan is revealed, because it is Xiang Shan who leads the troops, so the Liang army takes away half of the Chu State from the Shu State with an unstoppable momentum.

The morale of the Shu army was low, and even if the obstacles encountered when entering Shu became greater, it was smaller than he expected.

The war began to be difficult, but the Liang State still had a great advantage, and at this time, Ji Yuan began to accept the appointment of the Liang Emperor to envoy to the Min State as an envoy of the Liang State.

At the same time, Emperor Shu was furious, holding the Sixth Ministry and his imperial uncle accountable, "I allocated a large amount of grain to help the victims as early as June, where did all that grain go, why did so many people go to Liang State?" ”

"And military pay!" Emperor Shu was furious, slapped the table and said angrily: "You even ignored the military rations and salaries, so that my soldiers have become deserters!" ”

Hubu Shangshu's face was full of earth, and he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, this looting of Liang Guo's relief grain is obviously Liang Guo's intention to slander, and those people are really not our Shu people." ”

"Not this time, but what about the previous ones?" Emperor Shu shouted angrily, "What about the grain and grass I have allocated, and what about the relief grain?" Before that, did my soldiers flee to the Liang State as a coward, and did my people help the Liang State to rebel against me! ”

After Emperor Shu scolded him, he turned his face to glare at Uncle Huang, and said with a heavy face: "Third Emperor Uncle, it was you who patted your chest and said that you could govern Chu Land well, so I handed over that place to you, and you ended up like this?" ”

Uncle Sanhuang sneered in his heart, but he lowered his head in fear to admit his mistake, saying that he didn't know people well and appointed traitors, which caused the current situation.

Emperor Shu's face became more and more ugly, although he handed over the land of Chu to the Three Emperor Uncles, but the officials inside were all appointed and selected by him, and the Three Emperor Uncle's words seemed to him to shirk responsibility.

He thought he was strict enough, but he didn't expect to be fooled by the courtiers and the emperor's uncle.

Yes, most of the "Shu people" who robbed Liang Guo to provide relief grain this time were people found by Liang Guo himself, and he directed and acted in this play.

But Liang Guo has this ambition, why didn't the soldiers guarding the border find out at all?

Originally, Emperor Shu wanted to ask the soldiers of the border pass, but after a careful investigation, he found that the problem was actually in the capital.

This is completely the collusion between the capital and the locality, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and the people of Chu are so fiercely anti-Shu because of the grievances accumulated in the past few years.

He wants to compete with Liang Guo for this world, knowing that the other party is recuperating, he naturally has to prepare more grain and grass before him and recruit more soldiers and horses.

As long as the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and the grain and grass are sufficient, even if the national strength is a little weaker, he is confident that he can take the Liang State.

So in these years, he persuaded the agriculture and mulberry, vigorously developed the economy, and enriched the treasury, because Chu had only gone through the war, and had to be exempted from taxes for one year and reduced taxes for three years, so the tax in that place was very small, and Emperor Shu waved his hand to the three emperor uncles to take care of it.

But they didn't expect that they could squeeze out oil and water on the sand, except for a few places on the border with Liang State, other places were looted very badly.

It's not that they don't want to stretch out their hands to the mutual market, but because he attaches great importance to the mutual market, and the people who go to the mutual market to do transactions are all big businessmen and big families with a lot of money, and Emperor Shu has been staring at it, so they don't dare to stretch out their hands.

Because of this, the mutual market is prosperous and peaceful, which makes Emperor Shu think that the entire Chu land is like this.

Liang State attacked this time, and they didn't even know when Liang State gathered troops, which shows the dereliction of duty of the border army, so Emperor Shu was so angry and so angry to investigate, and as a result, this investigation found out that there was a big problem.
