Chapter 1531 The Way of Sichuan and Shu
Liu Bei is really a repeated villain, and there are really only a bunch of mobs under his command?
Isn''t this a joke?
But why did Peng Yi say that?
It’s nothing more than wanting to give Fei Qian an impression that Liu Bei is easy to deal with, and that Sichuan and Shu are easy to get, and then he will stand up in Chuanzhong and start a frontal fight with Liu Bei.
Hehe, after Fei Qian said something, he looked at Peng Yi and smiled without saying a word. It''s all here, why are you still fooling people?
Peng Yi finally bowed his head and said General Ming Jian, which actually showed that since you know everything about the general, why are you still playing around with me here...
What did Fei Qian guess? In fact, Fei Qian guessed that Peng Yi came here this time. He came here as a lobbyist, and more importantly, he wanted to keep his family business near Guanghan. In the end, whether or not to send troops to Sichuan, it is necessary to ensure that these interests of Peng Yi''s own near Guanghan will not be damaged.
As one of the big surnames in Sichuan and Shu, Peng Yi''s goal actually overlaps with Fei Qian''s strategy in a small part, that is, Fei Qian doesn''t want to get a beaten and rotten Sichuan and Shu. At the same time, I also don''t want the family business that I have accumulated over decades or hundreds of years to be destroyed in the flames of war. Therefore, in terms of preserving the economy in central Sichuan, Fei Qian released goodwill, and the people in central Sichuan immediately grasped this point and sent Peng Yi to discuss it.
However, there are some differences in goals between Fei Qian and Chuanzhong Daxing. Fei Qian''s purpose is to resume production in a short period of time as long as Chuanzhong is not completely destroyed, but for the big families in Sichuan and Shu, this is really a little bit worse, just like killing them...
It can be said that the previous Zhang Song only started at the beginning, and the current Peng Yi can be regarded as a complete result. Of course, it depends on how the two parties negotiate.
From this point, it can be seen that Liu Bei in Sichuan and Shu is not like the tune in later games. As long as Liu Bei is in charge, it will be +200% popular support...
Fei Qian thought it was a bit funny. When he was watching the Three Kingdoms, he believed in the so-called concept of Cao Cao occupying the sky, Sun Quan occupying the geography, and Liu Bei occupying the peace, and then the world can be divided into three parts. But only now did he know that the so-called The right time, place and people are just a joke of Mr. Luo.
The real situation is that any party has the right time, place and people, but it is more or less that’s all. Let''s not discuss the weather for the time being. Everyone has their own opportunities. Just talking about the geographical advantage, does Liu Bei''s Sichuan and Shu have no geographical advantage? And Cao Cao''s Guanzhong, if it weren''t for the favorable mountain roads such as Ziwu Valley, Liu Bei would have attacked so hard?
Not to mention human harmony, there is no large-scale human harmony at all, and a small part is already very good. Looking at the entire Three Kingdoms, which family is not beating the outside world to death while also beating the inside to death?
Why did Cao Cao call Xia Houyuan General Baidi? Just because of the antlers?
Why did Sun Quan suppress the four surnames in Jiangdong in the early stage, and promote the children of these four surnames later? Also marry him?
Liu Bei was full of talents before entering Sichuan, why did he fall into trouble after entering Sichuan? Is it really because there are no successors in Sichuan and Shu?
For these big surnames who refuse to accept themselves, the local powerful gentry, whether it is Cao Cao, Sun Quan, or Liu Bei, adopt almost the same strategy. The fine traditions of China are inherited in one continuous line, suppressing and wooing.
Among them, the irascible elder brother Sun Ce is the most ruthless, just like many gangsters in later generations, clamoring to kill and kill at every turn, and then "slaughter Jiangdong heroes", killing chickens for monkeys to see, so the four surnames of Dongwu had no choice but to express their views temporarily. From then on, he tried everything possible to find an opportunity and killed Sun Ce.
This kind of hostile and repressive policy in history can be said to be the premise that caused Sun Ce''s tragedy. So Sun Ce also understood this before he died, so he said to Sun Quan: "Give talents and talents, and each do his best to protect Jiangdong. I am not as good as you." Build a broader base of domination.
Cao Cao was a little bit better, but not much better. He killed Bian Rang, Yang Xiu, and Kong Rong. Of course, Cao Cao was not like Sun Ce. But even so, Cao Cao didn''t get any good results. At the end of the Battle of Chibi, all conflicts broke out...
As for Liu Bei, in the early stage, it was really "human harmony", that is, for the sake of the real ordinary people, whipping the postal governors, governing the plains, etc., but in the middle period, Liu Bei found that only the word-of-mouth of these ordinary people was useful. There is no money for money, and no one for important people. Except for the good person card, they are driven around like a lost dog.
As a result, Liu Bei began various marriages, and slowly integrated with the upper-class gentry children, and the "renhe" with the majority of ordinary people also transformed into a small-scale "renhe". Even intentionally or unintentionally, ordinary people were used to block and delay Cao Cao''s advance...
Now, although Liu Bei has not experienced Changbanpo, the things he did in Chengdu, Sichuan and Shu are similar. Sichuan and Shu gentry.
And Peng Yi obviously belonged to the faction suppressed by Liu Bei.
Now that the words have been made clear, Peng Yi did not continue to make rounds, but talked eloquently: "The land of Sichuan and Shu is definitely not a place to sit and guard. The world should be weighed by the acquisition of Sichuan and Shu. The highest is enough to be king, and the second If it is enough to dominate, if you rely on its dangers and sit and defend it, you will surely perish. Liu Yizhou and his son are the proof..."
"In the past, Gaozu, the king of Bashu, was the capital of Nanzheng, came out of Chencang, established the Three Qin Dynasty, fought between Xingyang and Chenggao, and the world belonged to Han. Therefore, if you see the danger of Bashu, you should steal it. When it starts , powerful, wise and courageous, and has the tendency to annex all directions, so it is enough to create a corner. If you are self-sufficient in the future, your plans fail, and your delusions close the environment to calm the people, you don’t know that your strength is exhausted and you are powerless to resist foreign enemies. carry on."
"That''s why there has always been a strategy to take the world, and they are all eager to use Sichuan and Shu. Qin wants to merge with the princes, he first merges with Shu, and when he merges with Shu, Qin becomes stronger, and if he is rich, he can lighten the princes. Now the general wants to enter Sichuan and Shu, and he meets The Liu family stole the Chuanzhong and refused to accept Wang Hua. If they could not leave as soon as possible, they would be afraid that the disaster would be delayed. The old affairs of the Wanxi Qiang were delayed a little, and it would be difficult for him to retake the place. Now that the general has sent troops to Guanghan, why not Let the army go straight down, make a decision as soon as possible, then you can focus on Shandong and wait for the right time. If the general still has doubts, we are not talented, and we are willing to be the leader and do our best..."
Fei Qian stretched out a hand to stop Peng Yi''s eloquence. Damn, after talking so much, it’s still fake clichés, nothing practical, what’s the forerunner, just talking about a road that will be cut off at some point, and it seems to feel that it’s already made a great contribution.
Fei Qian stared at Peng Yi, and said, "Yongnian thought, who is Liu Yuzhou?"
"Liu Xuande, you look like a hero..." Peng Yi was silent for a moment, overturning the previous so-called "rabble" and redefining it.
Feiqian nodded, then heaved a long sigh, and said: "Since you are a hero...you wait for so many chariots and horses to spread, Liu Yuzhou will not notice it?"
Peng Yi was taken aback for a moment, and then his face suddenly changed.
The reason why Peng Yi is still more or less arrogant is that he is waiting for a price. Now that there are no more things for a price, what good price can he get?
Feiqian shook his head, but did not continue to say anything. After all, people like Peng Yi still have too little fighting experience. Perhaps it was because Liu Yan and Liu Zhang were at the level of Liu Yan and Liu Zhang before that they didn''t bother Peng Yan and others, so they didn''t pay enough attention when they were in Liu Bei''s hands, so that this happened. An undue omission.
There is also Fei Qian''s temptation and promotion, of course, Fei Qian will never admit this. Moreover, Fei Qian also intends to see some violent conflicts between these big surnames in Sichuan and Liu Bei in central Sichuan. As long as the foundation is not broken, Fei Qian even hopes to fight more intensely...
On the bright side, Fei Qian naturally showed some regret, and his tone was somewhat dissatisfied: "You guys claim to be the wise people in Sichuan, but now you are... alas..."
As soon as this remark came out, it was like a huge boulder, and it slammed on Peng Yi''s barely maintained shell with a thud, smashing it to pieces, revealing his weak and incompetent side.
"General! This, this..."
Peng Yi said "this" for a long time, but he couldn''t say anything. Instead, the sweat rolled down his head, and dots of different sizes appeared on his outer robe.
Peng Yi''s face turned red in the end, and he lost his original stable aura. He fell to the ground and kowtowed loudly: "General! Please also see that the elders in Chuanzhong are full of fists and fists. Rescuing me quickly is like fire and water..."
………………
There are actually three ways to enter Sichuan and Shu from Hanzhong.
Strictly speaking, there should be four roads, from west to east: Yinping Road, Jinniu Road, Micang Road, and Yangba Road. It''s just that the mountain road of Yinping Road is too rugged, and because this road starts from Longnan, Jingwen County, Pingwu, and Tongjiangyou, although it can avoid the dangerous pass of Jiange and go straight to the Chengdu Plain, it is 700 miles long. There is also a lack of water supplies, and the surrounding area is also difficult and dangerous along the way, sparsely populated. In ancient times, most of the places they passed belonged to the activities of ethnic minorities such as Di and Qiang. Unless it is absolutely necessary, most people will not take this road.
However, this road was finally broken by Deng Ai''s people, which is also the most colorful stroke in the history of Yinping Road. It is recorded in the history that Deng Ai and others wrapped themselves in blankets, rolled down the mountain, crossed the cliffs, and sneaked into Yinping to take Shuhan. They took this dangerous road, and found that there was an abandoned barracks in Yinping. It is said that it was originally established by Zhuge. Later, some people in Sichuan and Sichuan said that it was useless, and it was a waste of money, so they abandoned it. Deng Ai just called it a fluke at the time...
So the current Yinping Road is basically followed by people, but it is not suitable for large-scale marches.
Fei sneaked into Sichuan and Shu, taking the Mi Cang Road. The position of Micang Road in the Bashan Passage is similar to that of Jinniu Road. From the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, most people in Sichuan traveled to and from Hanzhong and Guanzhong via the Jinniu Road and the Mi Cang Road.
There are two most difficult places on Micang Road, one is Liangjiao Mountain, the other is Jiujing Ferry, the other is difficult to climb, and the other is difficult to cross the torrent. But with gunpowder, it is not so huge to dig mountains Things, coupled with the Huang''s craftsmen, built a cable suspension bridge at Jiujingdu, so it is even more convenient than Jinniu Road.
The last Yangba Road, from Daxian to Yangxian via Bashan. This road was recorded later and is relatively difficult. It is rarely passed by during marches, wars and peacetime travels. Its status is lower than that of Jinniu Road and Micang Road. It was especially prosperous in the Tang Dynasty.
This is because during the Tang Dynasty, lychees were produced in Chongqing and even near the Three Gorges, which was the favorite of the dignitaries in the Tang Dynasty. The way to transport lychees is the Yangba Road. Although it is difficult and dangerous, but because the distance is relatively short, the lychees can be fresher, so the Yangba Road is also called the Lychee Road.
The Jinniu Road where the Jiange is located is the earliest and most important one among the Bashan Mountain Roads. Most of the official roads in the past dynasties refer to this one. Li Bai''s "Shu Road Difficulty" said that "the earth collapsed and the mountains destroyed the strong men to death, and then the heavenly ladders and stone stacks are connected" also refers to this mountain road.
Jinniu Road starts from Hanzhong, passes through Mian County, Guangyuan, Jiange, Mianzhu, and then to Chengdu. It is the earliest mountain road developed, and it is also the most frequently traveled mountain road in Hanzhong and Guanzhong by people from Sichuan and Shu.
Jiange Pass is on Jinniu Road.
Li Hui led his men and horses, stood on the slope, looked at the gate of the Jiange, and suddenly sighed softly: "If you want to enter Sichuan, you must first order a golden bull...The Jiange is important, so it can be rushed..."
Li Hui felt a lot in front, but the guards behind Li Hui were a little worried. After all, they came to Jiange this time to collect the military power of Zhang Yi, the guard of Jiange. In other words, they came here to steal Zhang Yi''s job. If it goes well, it''s okay. If Zhang Yi has other ideas and turns his face and refuses to recognize anyone, just relying on Li Hui and these forty or fifty people, how big a commotion can be caused in Jiange Pass? storm?
Li Hui was also impoverished at first, and it was only during this period of time that Fengyun Jihui had some improvement, and these guards were recruited only during this period of time, so it is naturally impossible for them to be like those who have been together for a long time. The generals are so connected with each other, as if they are instructing each other.
Li Hui turned his head to look, and laughed: "One by one, why are they so complex?"
The guard said in a low voice: "It is said that there are two thousand troops in Jiange Pass! General Zhang also has five hundred private soldiers... General, look, we..." The implication is that there are only forty or fifty of us, if it is true It''s not enough to put your hands between your teeth.
Li Hui looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Why do you need to use swords and guns when you go to Jiange?"
"No swords or guns?" The guard was obviously skeptical.
Li Hui didn''t continue to say anything, and went straight ahead, laughing: "Let''s follow XX!"
A group of Li Hui''s guards looked at each other left and right, but they could only bite the bullet and follow Li Hui to Jiange...
