And said:
"The Shu thieves are okay, but Luo Shang will kill me. General Pingxi will be even worse."
This shows Luo Shang’s greedy and sycophantic character.
At this time, the imperial court ordered that all the refugees who entered Hanchuan from Qinzhou and Yongzhou were recalled by Luo Shang and others.
Li Te's brother Li Fu came to Shu from his hometown and said to Li Te:
"Brother, let me tell you the truth. There has just been chaos in the Central Plains. I don't think we need to go back. Shu is a nice place. They always say that this is Tianfu. It belongs to Tianfu. Let's live in Tianfu."
Li Te's mind suddenly brightened:
"Yeah! That's a good idea!"
So he had the desire to dominate Bashu.
Because of their meritorious service in the crusade against Zhao Yu, the imperial court bestowed titles and officials on Li Te and Li Liu. The emperor's edict was sent to Yizhou. The letter, along with the people from the six counties who collaborated with Li Te in the crusade against Zhao Yu, were all rewarded and listed on the list.
But when he arrived at Xin Ran, Xin Ran thought that this was not the mission of this trip and was unwilling to respond to the edict. He also wanted to take the credit for destroying Zhao Yan as his own, so he slacked off in responding to the imperial order and did not report the truth, which made everyone
Very resentful of him.
Luo Shang sent people to urge the refugees to return home, so that they must embark on the journey back home in July.
Xin Ran, like Luo Shang, was greedy and cruel. Seeing that Li Te gave Luo Shang so many treasures, he wanted to kill the leader of the Liu people to seize their property.
So he revised the proclamation and ordered Zhang Yan, the governor of Zitong (Zitong, now Zitong County, Sichuan), to set up checkpoints at various important roads to search for the refugees' treasures.
Li Te and others made a firm plea and asked for an extension until the autumn harvest.
The exiles were distributed in Liangzhou and Yizhou, selling their labor to make a living. When they heard that the prefectures and counties were forcing them to return to their hometowns, everyone felt resentful and didn't know what to do. After learning that the Li Te brothers had repeatedly requested to let them stay, they all expressed their disapproval of Li Te.
Brother Te is grateful.
In addition, the rain was about to come, the crops had not been harvested that year, and the refugees had no money to return home, so they went to Li Te's place.
Li Te built a large camp in Mianzhu to house the displaced people, and asked Xin Ran for an extension of time to return home.
Xin Ran was furious:
"Grandpa, seeing that the treasure is about to be obtained, he still wants to postpone it! He postponed it from July to autumn harvest, and now he wants to postpone it from autumn harvest to winter again. I don't want to go back after seeing this guy!"
Send people to post notices on the road, wanting Brother Li Te.
Li Te was horrified when he saw it, so he took them all back and revised the text with Li Xiang:
"If you can send the heads of the noble families of the six counties: Li, Ren, Yan, Zhao, Yang, Shangguan, as well as the Di and Sou people, you will be rewarded with a hundred pieces of cloth and silk."
When such a list is posted, it will definitely cause people to panic. These wealthy families and the people from these two tribes are definitely not just one or two, they are all moving as one ethnic group.
So the refugees were frightened and rushed to join Li Te. In less than a month, more than 20,000 people gathered, and Li Liu also gathered thousands of people. Li Te divided these people into two camps, and Li Te lived in the north camp.
Li Liu lived in Dongying.
Li Te also sent Yan Shi, who had migrated with him, to see Luo Shang and apply for a time limit for returning home.
When Yan Shi arrived at the place where Luo Shang and others were, he saw Xin Ran building fences at strategic locations and preparing to use these fences to arrest the refugees. He also knew that Xin Ran and Li Bi were resolute and unchangeable, so he said goodbye to Luo Shang and returned.
Mianzhu.
After coming back, he said to Li Te:
"Although Luo Shang told me that he was allowed to relax the time limit, Luo Shang has not established strict criminal laws and prestige. Xin Ran and others each have strong troops. Once there is a change, Luo Shang will definitely not be able to restrain it, and measures should be taken against him.
It’s easy to be on guard, and Luo Shang’s words can’t be trusted either. He, Xin Ran and Li Bi are all the same and greedy.”
Li Te was deeply impressed:
"These three little turtles are not good birds!"
Xin Ran and Li Bi planned:
"This guy Luo Shang is greedy and indecisive. Day after day, he is willing to show off his evil tricks. We should make up our mind about this and don't ask Luo Shang anymore."
Li Bi also felt the same. Seeing that the treasure was about to be obtained, Luo Shang just didn't make any move:
"Since he doesn't move, let's move!"
Zeng Yuan, Zhang Xian, Liu Bing and others were sent to secretly lead infantry and cavalry totaling 30,000 people to attack Li Te's camp.
When Luo Shang heard this, he immediately slapped the table and jumped up and down:
"These two bastards acted on their own without even saying hello to me. Do they want to take those treasures as their own?!"
He rushed to send Tian Zuo to assist Zeng Yuanjun. In fact, he was just stepping in. When the time comes, he can also take a share.
Ahem, this is Gou Xiong's guess. Gou Xiong doesn't know whether Luo Shang thinks so. However, Li Te was actually already quite powerful at that time. There were more than 100,000 refugees. Even if not all of them were attached to Li Te, I'm afraid there were quite a few.
People.
When Luo Shang and others came, they only brought more than 7,000 men. From the subsequent battle, it can be seen that Li Te's men were probably no less than Luo Shang and others.
At this time, comforting is the best choice, or in other words, superficial comforting and looking for an opportunity to deal with Li Te. You should not anger him like Xin Ran and Li Bi did.
After Li Te found out, he got ready and Zeng Yuan waited for the troops to arrive. Li Te rushed out with his brothers and caught Zeng Yuan and others by surprise:
"Where are these girls squatting? They jumped out from nowhere! They can't be relatives of the earth master, they all know earth escape skills!"
He rushed to the battle, but was defeated. Tian Zuo, Zeng Yuan, and Zhang Xian were killed in the battle. Li Te sent their heads back to Luo Shang and Xin Ran for demonstration.
In this battle, Li Te became famous! He was elected as the leader by the refugees in the six counties, and he wrote to the court, requesting that according to the story of "Liang Tong serves Dou Rong", Li Te should be promoted to the general of the North and be entrusted with the title.
In this battle, Li Te also made it clear that he was at odds with the Jin Dynasty, and he happened to have the idea of occupying Shu territory, so he pursued and fought fiercely, and the Jin army was retreating steadily.
In fact, Gou Xiong believes that it is not how weak the Jin army is, but how strong Li Te and others are. When Li Te and others were making trouble, the Jin Dynasty was in the "Eight Kings Rebellion".
As the saying goes, if the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, the people above are all scheming all day long. This one will kill that one, and that one will kill this one. The people below are thinking of doing other things, either to save their lives or to survive in such troubled times.
, no matter what, you can fight for yourself.
The leaders are all like this, and the soldiers below are not even interested in fighting. They can go on as they please, as long as I save my life.
On the other hand, refugees like Li Te and others were at the end of their rope. There was a great famine in their hometown and the court was in turmoil. They had no time to care about the lives of the people. They would just wait to die when they returned. After all, they could still make a living in Shu, but they couldn't do anything.
Leaving, "put yourself to death and survive", so it is much braver than the Jin army.
The Shu people saw that this was a fight between gods and gods, and we mortals had no place to run. They weighed the situation, fortified the village, and begged Li Te for life.
Of course Li Te is willing to accept them.
Although the Jin Dynasty was in chaos at this time, it was still a behemoth. Li Te was at odds with the Jin Dynasty, so he needed to develop his own power, compete with the Jin Dynasty, and send people to appease the Shu people who had taken refuge in him.
Ren Ming, who was engaged in Yizhou, jumped out and said to Luo Shang:
"Brother Shang, Li Te is ferocious and rebellious. He invades and plunders the people, and disperses the people. In the villages and fortresses, they are arrogant, lazy and defenseless. God is going to destroy them. We can tell the villages, secretly agree on a date, and then cooperate inside and outside.
If you attack Li Te, you will definitely be able to break through."
Luo Shang listened to Ren Ming's advice.
Ren Ming first pretended to surrender to Li Te, and then asked to go home for a visit, and Li Te agreed.
Lu Simian said that the Li family was originally a refugee with no great ambitions, and was in a secluded place. He did not know the situation outside. He suddenly felt inferior and suddenly arrogant, and did not know the program and purpose of governing the country.
We can also see something from this incident. As Ren Ming was a surrendered general, Li Te let him go deep into his rear. Don't you think it's suspicious?
Ren Ming obtained Li Te's permission and secretly lobbied the villages, and all the villages obeyed his orders.
At this time, Emperor Hui of Jin sent Song Dai and Sun Fu to rescue Luo Shang. Luo Shang's troops increased greatly and he fought with Li Te. As a result, Li Te was defeated and killed.
Originally, the Shu people were not of the same mind as Li Te, but now that Li Te is dead, the Shu people have rebelled.
Later, Li Te's younger brother Li Liu and Li Te's two sons Li Dang and Li Xiong collected the remaining people and surrendered to Chizu (Mianzhudong).
Li Liu claimed to be the general, the governor, and the pastor of Yizhou. He revitalized the army and continued to fight with the Jin Dynasty. (To be continued)
