Governor please stay

Su Chuo suggested He Ba Yuedao.

"The last general is willing to lead five thousand troops to Hanzhong."

Li Bi bowed his hands and asked for a fight.

He Bayue thought for a while and said: "There are not so many soldiers and horses, and it is not easy to coordinate. You first lead a thousand soldiers as the vanguard, and then occupy the place. Later, I will personally lead the army to support you."

Originally wanted to complain about the use of only 1000 people, but Li Bi finally held back.

There are fewer people and fewer people. Now that the government soldiers have been restructured, various contradictions within the army have arisen. If there are too many people, it may not be possible to work together.

It is better to command with fewer soldiers and horses.

"Leader!"

Li Bi cupped his hands and said, without expressing his true thoughts.

Chapter 643 No father and son in the field of power

From Shu to Hanzhong, the fastest and most convenient way is to take the "Golden Bull Road" with a long history.

The southern section of the Jinniu Road starts from Chengdu. It goes northward through the Northern Sichuan Plain, exits Jiange and crosses the Jialing River, then goes northeast until Guangyuan Chuchuan, and then passes through Ningqiang and Mianxian County to Nanzheng.

When the Qin State destroyed Shu, it took this road, and it was the main road out of Sichuan in the north.No other route can compare to this road, for example, the "Litchi Road" developed by an emperor in the Tang Dynasty in order to make a certain noble concubine happy.

As for how Qin was able to destroy Shu, there is no clear answer from the few words in the history books.

However, Jinniu Dao still has a small problem.

The northern section of this section of the road, that is, after leaving the land of Shu, is mostly plank roads, lacks water sources, and is not accompanied by rivers. In fact, it is not suitable for large-scale marches.

Yang Qianyun probably thought so too, so he was negligently attacked by Xiao Ji's soldiers.

In fact, Yang Qianyun also underestimated the enemy. He thought that the way of Jinniu was not so easy to walk, so there was no reason to be beaten by others.The deployment of the army is more important in the east than in the west, and there is no defense against the Shu land in the west. All the soldiers and horses are deployed in the east of Hanzhong, in case the Liang Guo court sends troops from Shiping County to attack Hanzhong.

Yang Qianyun didn't expect to be killed by Xiao Ji, whom he thought was a belly.I guess he felt aggrieved when he died.

As for going out of Sichuan in the east, it is to go to Bajun (Chongqing City), along the Yangtze River all the way east to Badong (Fengjie), Wu County and other places.This road is mainly waterway, but it is actually the most convenient route out of Sichuan, not one of them.

There were officers and soldiers from the Liang Dynasty court guarding Padong, and Liu Yishou ordered Ouyang Yu to lead [-] troops to garrison Baidi City in Padong very early on.The name is Guardian, but it actually monitors Xiao Ji's every move.

Generally speaking, the terrain of Shu is to defend from the north and attack from the south. It is very inconvenient to attack from the north, but it is relatively convenient to go down the Yangtze River.During the Three Kingdoms period, Soochow's defense against Shuhan was not entirely due to Sun Quan's lack of strategic vision, but in fact, the terrain of the State of Shu restrained Soochow.

Chen Zhizu, who worked hard, returned to Jiange from Hanzhong, met with Xiao Ji who led his troops to Jianmen Guan Tunza, and gave Xiao Ji the letter written by Xiao Yuanzhao.

The vassal king immediately understood that, as he had expected, Chen Zhizu had fallen for Xiao Yuanzhao's plan to delay the attack.

If Xiao Yuanzhao was really sincere, why didn't he come to Jiange to apologize?Instead, it is said to "rectify Hanzhong government affairs"?This made it clear that he was waiting for a change, and secretly he didn't know who to ask for help!

"Oh! You are so confused! You have fallen into my unworthy son's plan to slow down the army!"

Seeing Chen Zhizu coming back empty-handed, Xiao Ji said with a worried expression.

It is very serious, but in fact it has been expected by Xiao Ji, otherwise why would Xiao Ji bring troops to Jiange?

"Your Highness, Chengdu is not close to Hanzhong. If things get out of hand, there must be a fierce battle.

Why bother His Highness and his son's flesh and blood?Peace is still the most important thing! "

Chen Zhizu patiently persuaded.

What he said is not unreasonable, however, this truth is only suitable for ordinary people, not for the emperor's family.

A very clear truth is: there are no fathers and sons in the field of power.

The more noble the family, the more cold-blooded and ruthless it is.

It was a matter of gains and losses in Hanzhong, Xiao Ji had no kinship with Xiao Yuanzhao.He led his troops to Jiange, stationed at the northern gate of Shu, isn't it just to deal with unexpected things?

If Xiao Yuanzhao could be honest, why did he play such a game?

"You don't understand, my unworthy son is already planning to tear his face apart."

Xiao Ji sighed helplessly.Many times, he didn't want to make trouble like this, but he had no choice.

Xiao Yuanzhao had already cornered him.

"Go back to Chengdu and take care of the government affairs. Don't worry about food and fodder."

Xiao Ji waved his hands impatiently.Although he asked Chen Zhizu to go to Nanzheng, the prefecture of Hanzhong, it was a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and he didn't expect any good results.

But now after getting the news of Xiao Yuanzhao's stubbornness, Xiao Ji still feels very disappointed.

As an important town in Shu, Jiange naturally hoards food and grass for many years, so there is no need to worry about supply issues.

Xiao Ji was not afraid that he would not be able to attack Hanzhong, because it was impossible for Xiao Yuanzhao to conquer the hearts of the people in such a short period of time and be used by him.

You may not be able to see anything on weekdays, but once the situation is critical, Xiao Yuanzhao can't control those subordinates who are pursuing glory and wealth.

Xiao Ji's only worry was that Liang Guozhong took advantage of this opportunity to take back Hanzhong and use Hanzhong as a base to threaten Jiange.At the end of the Three Kingdoms period, Wei Guo's five-way campaign against Shu is still vividly remembered.Even as long as one of them enters the land of Shu, they can do whatever they want.

So as long as Hanzhong is lost, it will be very difficult for Shu to defend.

What Xiao Ji wants to do is to block the hole in Hanzhong. His real enemy is the crusade army of Jiankang Center!

"Your Highness, how about you take another trip to Hanzhong and bribe Xiao Yuanzhao's soldiers and literati to stand up for His Highness?"

Chen Zhizu said a little unwillingly, seeing that Xiao Ji had made up his mind, he no longer "kissed each other".

"That's fine. I'll give you some unsigned commissions. You go quietly to other places in Hanzhong to buy the guards. I will personally lead the army out of Sichuan on the Jinniu Road and attack Nanzheng."

Xiao Ji said firmly.

Xiao Yuanzhao may have miscalculated one thing.

He thought that he was very important to Xiao Ji, and the other party would definitely take into account the relationship between father and son.

In fact, it was the opposite. Although Xiao Yuanzhao only had Xiao Ji as a father, Xiao Ji had far more sons than Xiao Yuanzhao.

Apart from the eldest son Xiao Yuanzhao, this Prince of Wuling County also has several sons, including Xiao Yuanzheng, Xiao Yuanyuan, Xiao Yuanpu, Xiao Yuansu and so on.

Xiao Ji has no shortage of people who can inherit the family business!

This time Xiao Yuanzhao really pissed off Xiao Ji, and Xiao Ji planned to act as if his son was taken away by wolves.

As long as Nanzheng City is conquered, he will be given a cup of poisoned wine to die!

Be an example!

If Xiao Yuanzhao can't be dealt with, Xiao Ji can't believe what his other sons will be like, it is inevitable to learn from others.

After Chen Zhizu left, Xiao Ji sighed helplessly.He walked out of the signing room at the top of the city and looked into the distance.

At the break of Jianmen Mountain, there are cliffs on both sides, straight into the sky, and the peaks lean against the sky like swords; the cliffs are separated, and the two walls face each other, which looks like a door.

How majestic this scene is!

It's a pity that he didn't have the heart to appreciate it at all. After many years in Sichuan, he was tired of seeing such scenery.

You can't eat or wear something, you need to have a fart for your feelings!

The only thing Xiao Ji wants to do now is to personally lead troops to attack Nanzheng, and then hang Xiao Yuanzhao up and beat him up!

Take a breath first!

……

"Come on, have a drink and talk while drinking."

Liu Yishou poured wine for the generals sitting at the table one by one, his attitude was very warm, and he didn't put on airs.

In the study of King Wu's Mansion in Jiankang, Wang Sengbian, Wang Lin and others were there, as well as Brothers Lu Xida, Lu Quanda, Brother Fan Yi and Fan Meng.It was really the first time for Liu Yishou to gather these newcomers and surrendered generals together for a drinking meeting.

However, although Liu Yishou has no airs, it doesn't mean that Wang Sengbian and others can play around with their legs crossed.In fact, everyone in the study was extremely nervous, not to mention drinking, they didn't dare to move while sitting in place.

With Liu Yishou's current power and prestige, even if he picks his nose casually, a lot of people will say that this is the most handsome nose-picking pose in the world.

Since ancient times, generals and newcomers, which one didn't come here with trepidation and low eyebrows?

Because of Yu Wentai's meritorious service in making speeches, coupled with his accumulated military exploits in Jin'an County, he is now named the Governor of Lingnan, and he sits in the newly established Governor's Mansion of Lingnan, and his army is stationed in Guangzhou.

Wang Sengbian and others who were in Lingnan and other places before, as well as Wang Lin, who had made great achievements in the last Henan battle, were all called back to Jiankang to report on their duties, waiting for new appointments.On the whole, everyone speculated that this summoning should be to replace Yu Wentai's vacancy in Jin'an County.

"Ouyang Hou stationed in Badong, with few soldiers. Although he could barely defend Xiao Ji, he was unable to attack Berkshire (Chongqing).

I intend to conquer Shu, who of you can be the vanguard? "

Liu Yishou's words were like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning, shaking the minds of everyone present!

Xiao Ji hasn't rebelled yet, so why did he attack Shu?

Everyone was silent for a while, and it was Wang Sengbian who broke the deadlock and asked, "Why did your Highness suddenly talk about the attack on Shu?"

It wasn't that he was suspicious, but that Liu Yishou took this step too suddenly.There were almost no symptoms before, which is very unusual.

"Xiao Yuanzhao and Xiao Ji's father and son publicly fell out, and the former invited the court to mediate. I think Xiao Ji will definitely not accept the management, and military encounters are inevitable.

At that time, Xiao Ji will be rebelling.As for the rebellious vassal king, if you don't clean it up, should you keep it for the New Year? "

Liu Yishou asked back in a calm tone, with a calm and irresistible look, it can be said that he was not angry and pretentious.

This wine is really undrinkable. As expected, matters related to Liu Yishou can only be official business!

It's just that everyone present was thinking about a question: when Liu Yishou seized the throne, he let all the defeated feudal lords go, but he didn't say that anyone who rebelled would be killed!

Just listen to Liu Yishou's polite words, usurping the throne is true, and unifying the world is also true. For other excuses, just listen to them casually, but you must not take them seriously!

There was a murmur in everyone's heart, and they all said yes.

"Juncai (Wang Sengbian Biaozi), you take your troops to guard Jin'an County (Fuzhou, Fujian). I heard that there are always pirates plundering the coast recently. You should pay more attention. Not only must you set up an ambush, but also the navy to chase them. lair.

Yu Wentai also knew about these things before, but he was not used to water warfare, so he could only stare blankly at the retreating pirates, watching them run away.

You are proficient in water warfare, and you are bound to be able to wipe out this group of pirates.Whatever you need, the imperial court will give you everything.The maritime trade route from Guangzhou to Jiankang is very important, so please pay more attention. "

Liu Yishou spoke softly to Wang Sengbian.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness! With my subordinates here, within half a year, the coastal routes will be cleared! Your subordinates are willing to issue a military order!"

Wang Sengbian stood up and said excitedly.

"Well, I'll ask Yang Min to replenish ships, personnel and armaments for you, and train the soldiers to solve it yourself."

Liu Yishou nodded slightly.

He looked at Wang Lin again and asked: "Go to Badong (Fengjie), build ships and station troops here, prepare to attack Shu, and obey our military orders. If there are no military orders, you can train troops there.

The Changde water army is brave and fearless, and has repeatedly made outstanding achievements in the battle of Henan. First, you go to Wuling County to recruit some local fishermen and expand the water army to tens of thousands. "

"Designed, this subordinate will do it now!"

Wang Lin said excitedly.

Obviously, in the last battle of Henan, the navy under his command performed well, successfully harassing the enemy's food roads, interfering with the supply line of Gao Huan's army, and made great contributions to the final encirclement of the main force of Gao Huan's army.

Liu Yishou obviously did not forget his contribution, and now he is promoted to lead an army alone, and sent out to prepare for the destruction of Shu, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as the grace of rebuilding.

Wang Sengbian and Wang Lin took the military order and left. The rest of the people looked at Liu Yishou eagerly. Of course they knew that if they could come here, they would have to be assigned a task.

But as long as Liu Yishou doesn't say anything, their hearts will be suspended, and every minute now is so difficult.

"I want to conquer Hanzhong myself. Yang Zhong has already led the trilogy to the west as a vanguard. The four of you are my generals. Come with me."

In one sentence, Liu Yishou explained the tasks of the Fan brothers and the Lu brothers. Generally speaking, they followed Liu Yishou and set off for Hanzhong together.

Now Liu Yishou has many soldiers and generals under his command, and the military resources and human resources that can be deployed are very rich.But why did Liu Yishou personally lead the army this time?

In fact, it's not that he wants to run around, but the credit for suppressing the rebellion and destroying the country are both catalysts for usurping the throne and the only way to establish absolute authority!

Now that he has made progress and cannot retreat, he must embark on the road of taking Xiao Shi and replacing him.Therefore, there are no conditions to talk about personally leading the troops to establish meritorious service in order to establish one's absolute authority.

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.

What's more, Shu and Hanzhong are one and cannot be completely confused.

Whether Xiao Ji will send troops, whether He Bayue will send troops, and whether Xiao Yuanzhao will negotiate peace, the intricate relationship among them can be said to change rapidly.Depending on the situation, Liang Guozhong's response is also different.

At that time, various fleeting opportunities may also appear.

If Liu Yishou is not here, send someone else. No matter how smart or powerful that person is, he will not be able to make judgments on the overall situation for Liu Yishou. It is inevitable to ask for instructions early and report later.

In this way, when you encounter a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you may not be able to seize it because of the delay in asking for instructions.

But when Liu Yishou came to the front line in person, the effect was completely different.

Duan Shao's words are very reasonable. Winning Hanzhong is a guarantee, not the best solution.The land of Shu itself is under the rule of the state of Liang. After defeating the Xiao Ji, as long as they recuperate and maintain the policy of developing people's livelihood, the land of Shu will not be in chaos!
