Chapter Twenty-Seven: Yan Shi talks about six victories and defeats
"Junhou, we have six wins and Luo Hou has six defeats. Yan Shi was in the tent and talked to Li Xiang and Li Yang, as well as the children of the Li family, as well as the leaders of the various homeless families who heard the news. He had previously made a Shangqi order in Yongzhou, and he was full of wisdom, and the homeless people never called him by his name since Li Xiang, but called him Yan Ling.
"We and other homeless people live in Shudi, and we can't survive unless we stay warm together. And the Shu people are in peace, and there is no control over a plate of scattered sand, which is the victory of the people's hearts! This is the first victory. β
"Luo Hou implemented the new policy, offended the nobles in Shu, Yizhou civil and military and Luo Hou face and heart discord, this matter is well known, Shu for the proverb said: the displaced people are okay, Luo Hou kill me. This can be seen here. This is the second victory. β
"Luo Houren is undecisive, the government is lenient, the civil and military of Yizhou do not feel his virtue and let it go, and even the politics and religion are sparse, and the armament is insufficient. And the prince is decisive, and we and other homeless people rest day and night, and in their spare time, they are diligent and armed, and this is the third victory. β
"Yizhou's new defeat, the so-called defeated general, unspeakably brave, the doctor who died in the country, can't survive. However, we and the other displaced people are holding the power of a new victory, and their morale is high, and this is the fourth victory. β
"The people of Yizhou just want me and other displaced people to return to their hometowns, and they don't want to be enemies of us. Its heart is not strong, its intention is suspicious, and the two ends of the first rat are inconsistent. And we have no other way but to fight to the death. With our preparedness to attack the opponent but unprepared, this is the fifth victory. β
"As for the sixth victory," Yan Shi pondered, looking at everyone's expectant eyes, and then slowly spoke: "Luo Hou is ordered by the King of Qi. Yan heard that because the king of Hejian supported Emperor Fulun at the beginning, although he was afraid of it anyway, he was afraid of it in his heart, afraid that King Qi and others would turn over his old accounts. It is said that the king of Qi and the king of CD have begun to discuss the intention of letting the king of Langya replace the king of Hejian to sit in the military of Chang'an, the governor of Yongliang and Qin. When the king of Hejian is in such a predicament, that is, when I wait to occupy Yizhou and even Liangzhou, he will not send troops to recruit us and others, and his main focus is on Shangluo. This is the sixth victory we can rely on. β
After hearing Yan Shi's six wins and six defeats, everyone in the tent suddenly smiled.
After Li Xiang laughed, he patted Yan Shi's shoulder and sighed: "Yan Lingzhen is the reincarnation of Zhang Zifang." The so-called strategizing, decisive victory thousands of miles away, this is also said. How can I enjoy what virtue I can, and how fortunate I am to be able to have such a great talent from Yan Ling. β
"The prince is wise and martial, and we Yongqin and Qin are able to live in Shu for so long because of the monarch. Without a prince and a prince, I don't know how many families of displaced people such as us will be separated from their wives, will be sold as slaves of the Shu people, will be starved to death on the side of the road, and will be bullied by the local heroes of Shu at will. Yan Shi praised Li Xiang from the bottom of his heart: "The country is picturesque, and only the virtuous live in it." The Junhou family is a descendant of the royal family of Ba, and in Shang, he made meritorious contributions to the time of Gaozu. Yu Zhou, when the Zhongba people were heading south, went north alone to join Zhou Wu. Yu Jin has been doing his best in LΓΌyang for two lifetimes. For displaced people like us, it is like a reborn parent. With the virtue of a prince and a prince, he is enough to be the lord of Shu. β
"But Dajin treats us and other displaced people really well. Li Xiang said hesitantly: "We and the homeless people have left their hometowns, and there is no imperial court to order the opening of warehouses for relief, and there is no imperial court to order Liangzhou and Yizhou to accept us, I am afraid that we have already turned into a pile of loess on the roadside." Besides, Elder Luo Hou, treat us sincerely. In this way, but I want to betray Dajin and betray Luo Hou, I Li Xiang can't bear it. β
"The prince doesn't need to worry about this, Yan still has a plan to solve the prince's confusion. Yan Shi slightly stroked his beard under his chin with his right hand and said with a smile.
Yan Ling said quickly. β
"In the last years of the Shang Dynasty, the world was in turmoil due to Wang Ji's reforms, and the red eyebrows started in Yanzhou, and the green forest started in Jingzhou. Dou Rong saw that the world was in turmoil, and he thought that Hexi was far away from the frontier and could avoid the war in the Central Plains, so he went to Hexi by the door, and worshiped the governor of Zhangye's subordinate country. After arriving in Hexi, Dou Rong made friends with the heroes of the five counties, and finally the heroes of the five counties decided to recommend a total of one person to lead the five counties in view of the fact that there was no owner in the world. As the later developers know, Dou Rong later took refuge in Emperor Guangwu, a merchant of the Later Shang Dynasty, and destroyed the hustle and bustle of Liangzhou together with Guangwu, and the Dou family was full of wealth and nobility from then on. β
"The situation we and other displaced people are facing now seems different from that of Dou Rong back then, but it is actually similar. Although the court is temporarily peaceful, in Yan's opinion, King Qi is simply sitting on a volcanic crater, and he will die at any time. With the strength of the king of CD Hejian, the Central Plains will face a series of wars in the future. Yizhou Guanshan is blocked, although the hegemony is insufficient, but there is more than enough self-protection. We can follow the story of Dou Rong in the past, recruit heroes in Shu, and jointly promote the princes and princes, so as to protect Shu from the invasion of war. In this way, the people of Shu will feel at ease, and they will be grateful for the virtue of the prince. β
In fact, in Yan Shi's heart, there are still some things he wants to say that he hasn't said. He said in his heart that in the last years of the Shang Dynasty, due to the war in the Central Plains, the residents of various counties also fled to other places where there was no war in order to escape the war. The same was true in the last years of the Later Shang Dynasty. At that time, the imperial court did not force displaced people to return to their hometowns, and the prefectures and counties did not forcibly return them. Why do you want to repatriate us today? That is, when the Great Zhou Dynasty to the Great Jin Dynasty, several noble families, such as the Xun family, such as the Chen family, and so on, were not all homeless people back then?
"yes, Daddy. The burly young man with sword eyebrows standing on the side heard Yan Shi's words and said, "According to what Yan Ling said, we are not rebelling, but stabilizing Shu for the imperial court. When the Central Plains comes out again, the Holy Lord will come out again, and we will wait for the story of Dou Rong's Guangwu again, so that it will not lose its wealth and wealth. It's Luo Hou, just treat him well when the time comes. β
"Yes, yes, we are just following the story of Dou Rong and Liangtong, and we are not against the imperial court. The prince is Dou Rong, and we and Yan Ling are Liang Tong and others. When Yan Shi said this, the leaders of the exiles seemed to have found a reason to raise troops at once, and they all immediately joined forces. At this time, everyone's faces were gone, and some people even looked forward to the scene of being rich and wealthy like Liang Tong.
"Okay!" After Li Xiang pondered for a while, he suddenly raised his head and said loudly: "Luo Hou has no virtue, and he is in chaos." I, Li Xiang, were elected by everyone, so I temporarily occupied the position of the co-master. If there is another high-level talent in the future, I, Li Xiang, swear that I will never covet this position, and I will give up the position of co-owner to the high-level talent like everyone elected me today. If you violate this oath, you will be willing to be thundered by the sky!
"Okay!" Li Xiangli, who everyone listened to, swore like this, and they were even more at ease. So everyone high-fived and swore together in the camp, and jointly promoted General Li Xiangxing Zhenbei and General Li Yangxing Zhenxi.
History: In October of the fourth year of Yongtai, the displaced people of the six counties jointly promoted Li Xiang as the main and raised troops against Mianzhu. Li Xiang first asked Yan Shi to bribe Sima Chen Chen of Yizhou with generous gifts, and humbly asked for a grace period. Chen Chen was puzzled by this plan and was defenseless. The exiles took advantage of the night to attack Chen Chen's army, Chen Chen was defeated and killed, and the exiles then attacked the counties, and Yizhou assassinated Shi Luo Shang and could not control it.
