Chengdu.
Bai Xiaowen sent an imperial edict in the name of the imperial court.
Liu Zhang received the imperial edict. After reading it, he was flustered and said, "Lord Yan has won a great victory. Soldiers and horses have come to Luocheng. Let me go to the labor force to meet them. What should I do?"
Engaged in Wang Lei said, "Lord, you can''t. this is the plan of Lord Yan. You want to earn Lord out of the city."
Huang Quan was silent.
FA Zheng said with a smile, "if the Lord refuses to go, it is against the imperial court. Don''t you give away all the kindness of sending troops to help?"
Wang Lei said, "I was opposed to sending troops to help. Wouldn''t it be better to sit and watch Yan Gong and Liu Bei fight? Even now, giving up friendship is better than dying!"
FA Zhengdao said, "when facing Liu Bei, the soldiers of Xichuan defeated more than they won less. When facing Yan Gong, Liu Bei''s army was destroyed in less than ten days. Lord, can you resist Yan Gong''s army?"
Liu Zhang subconsciously shook his head.
FA Zheng said, "Lord, with this clear lesson, why don''t you obey the court."
Wang leikang said in a voice, "Lord, No. now the ditches and grabens in the west of Fushui have been excavated and the camps have been built together. Our army is strong enough to resist the enemy according to the danger of Fushui! Duke Yan has burned the wild valleys around Luocheng before. The army is useless and can''t stay for a long time. We will withdraw before March."
FA Zheng looked up and laughed.
Liu Zhang asked cooperatively, "why does Xiaozhi laugh?"
FA Zheng said with a smile, "I laugh at Wang Lei''s ignorance of the times. Is Duke Yan comparable to Liu Bei alone? Not to mention that he is rich in the Central Plains. In Hanzhong alone, he has enough food and soldiers, which can be used as the rear of Duke Yan to provide food and grass. Isn''t Wang Lei''s attempt to fight against Duke Yan by fighting against Liu Bei''s method a great lie in the world?"
These words moved Liu Zhang. He asked the ministers for the last time, "what does it mean to be public?"
Huang Quan, who has been silent, said: "Before the next, it is because the matter has come to an inexportable place. The LORD sent Li Yan and Zhang Song to assist Yan Gong with twenty thousand horses. I''m afraid these troops have been swallowed up by the swallow. Since the Lord is unable to resist the public, he is ready to follow the other''s wishes." registered residence in Yizhou is offered to win a favor.
Wang Lei said angrily, "Huang Quan! You can''t fulfill the festival of loyalty and filial piety, but persuade the Lord to surrender? I''m ashamed to be with you!" he brushed his sleeve with resentment.
Huang Quan remained unmoved and said to Liu Zhang, "Lord Yan has never killed or fallen into disrepute. Cao Pi, the son of Cao Cao, was granted the title of Marquis of Anle Township, and Zhang Lu, the son of Dongchuan, was granted the title of Marquis of Langzhong. With these two as precedents, I wish you to think carefully about how you choose. No matter how you choose, I will follow him."
Liu Zhang asked Huang Quan, "will Li Yan really take refuge in Yan Gong?"
Before the voice fell, someone came to Zhang Song''s letter. Liu Zhang opened it and looked at it. In the letter, Li Yan and Zhang song had become subordinates to the imperial court and were knighted; Zhang song also advised Liu Zhang to comply with heaven''s destiny and submit to the imperial court, etc.
Liu Zhang regretted greatly and said to Huang Quan, "I regret not listening to your advice, but being tired by villains!"
Liu Zhang had no choice but to cry and went to Luocheng to comfort the imperial army with printed ribbons, books of residence, gold beads, silk and so on.
Bai Xiaowen personally went down to meet Liu Zhang and said, "the public can respond to the fate of heaven. He is really a hero. Gu must not be treated badly. He named the public Marquis of Xichuan and eats thousands of families in the city. He can take his family and move to yedU to raise him."
Liu Zhang can only thank you.
Bai Xiaowen led his troops across Fushui, passed Mianzhu and entered Chengdu. It was ordered that all Chengdu Civil and military officials should come to see him.
The power of Bai Xiaowen''s super brain is also reflected. The officials who come to visit are regardless of size. After mentioning their names, Bai Xiaowen can say the merits and demerits of each other at once. This is also thanks to the prior introduction of Zhang song, FA Zheng and others.
Those who have made meritorious contributions will be rewarded and those who have made mistakes will be punished. Generally speaking, encouragement is the main form.
Within three days, Xichuan civil and military officials had taken refuge in Bai Xiaowen, and the weather was new.
Zhang Song said to FA Zheng privately, "Lord Yan is really the Lord of destiny. He has not only martial arts but also literary affairs. If Liu Zhang has half the ability of Lord Yan, it is enough to keep Yizhou and watch the changes in the world."
Bai Xiaowen still managed Xichuan with the original civilian officials, appointed Zhang song as the shepherd of Yizhou, and Fazheng was the prefect of Shu county. However, in terms of the army, he still carried out a wave of blood exchange and set up Duwei in each county to consolidate his rule in Yizhou.
When Xichuan was pacified, Bai Xiaowen held a banquet to celebrate.
It''s not that Bai Xiaowen likes to waste time. Giving a banquet to celebrate is an important custom of the Three Kingdoms.
The messenger who went to the ruins of fushuiguan to recruit Zhuge Liang also returned the news.
Zhuge Liang and his wife set up a gossip array in the ruins of Fushui pass to block Han Xu''s army for two days and one night. After Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were captured, Zhuge Liang and his wife disappeared.
Now Han Xu has led an army, 20000 troops, temporarily stationed in Jiangyang.
In addition, the messenger also brought back good news that pound had recovered from illness and took the initiative to fight.
It happened that senior cadres recruited 10000 new troops and Zhong Yao recruited 20000 new troops. They screened together with the former soldiers from Xiliang, and finally got 25000 elite soldiers, which were led by pound. They came from Hanzhong and touyizhou. Now they have arrived in Nanzheng and can reach Xichuan in a few days.
This is Bai Xiaowen''s advantage. He holds three-quarters of the land in the world, and the war potential is not comparable to that of Liu Bei, who is only half of Jingzhou.
Bai Xiaowen''s strategy is still the elite strategy. Those old, weak and disabled soldiers have been sent to tuntian. If we recruit a large army regardless of its merits, we can raise the scale of more than 300000 in a month.
This is also the reason why Zhuge Liang did his best in intelligence and was difficult to contend with. The general trend came and his life could not be violated!
At this point, the main task of the third stage of the great unification - winning longwangshu, has also been completed and can be submitted.
There is no reward for the unified main task, so there is nothing to hesitate. Just submit it directly after completion.
The collection of Dongchuan and Xichuan took a total of 32 days, two days more than the scheduled 30 days.
The war is not too fierce, mainly because we have to wait for the best time, so it takes a long time.
For example, after the capture of Hanzhong, when did you enter Xichuan? It''s very particular.
If Bai Xiaowen hurriedly entered Xichuan and showed his heart of collecting Sichuan, Liu Bei and Liu Zhang, who had not broken up at that time, could resist Bai Xiaowen for a long time by relying on two natural hazards.
Whether Xichuan can be collected is unknown; Even if it can be collected, it will take at least twice as long.
It can be seen that after becoming a camp leader and having a good start, we will not be able to complete reunification. In the follow-up process of promoting reunification, if you are careless, it is easy to overspend time and fall short of success.
Yizhou has been settled. The next thing to deal with is the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang and Zhao Yun.
