Chapter 134 Liu Beis failure in conquering Wu gave Yizhous local gentry an opportunity to rise!
Time passed slowly again. It was already noon, and smoke was curling up everywhere in Chengdu. Whether it was exquisite food or rough food that was hard to swallow, it was a meal for everyone in this era. When the time came, they still had to eat.
"Enjoy"...
In the fifteenth year of Jian'an (210), Zhou Yu died of illness in Baqiu near Jiangling, and Wu's plan to conquer Shu from the west was terminated. Liu Bei took the opportunity to borrow Jingzhou Jiangling (Nanjun) from Sun Quan, and then occupied the five counties of Jingzhou, euphemistically called them
"Borrowing from Jingzhou" is still the kind of borrowing that is never repaid, only then can you have your true foundation.
He is no longer as homeless as before, but compared to Cao Cao and Sun Quan, he obtained the foundation relatively late. He is not like Sun Quan who inherited the Jiangdong foundation left by Sun Ce.
In the 16th year of Jian'an (211), Liu Zhang followed Zhang Song's suggestion and sent Fa Zheng to invite Liu Bei to Sichuan to help him deal with Zhang Lu. Fa Zheng and Pang Tong at this time persuaded Liu Bei to take Yizhou.
Liu Bei then left Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu and others to guard Jingzhou, and sent tens of thousands of troops into Shu to join Liu Zhang in Fu. During this period, Zhang Song, Fazheng, and Pang Tong all advised Liu Bei to attack Liu Zhang. Liu Bei first came to Shu, but the people's hearts were not yet ready.
If you are convinced, you should not refuse on the grounds of rash action.
Liu Zhang recommended Liu Bei to act as the Grand Sima, and also to lead the Sili Xiaowei, ration Liu Bei's soldiers, supervise the Baishui Army, and ordered him to attack Zhang Lu. Liu Bei reached Jiameng in the north, but the garrison did not advance, and he cultivated kindness to win the hearts of the people.
In the seventeenth year of Jian'an (212 years), Zhang Song was exposed and killed, and Liu Bei turned against Liu Zhang. Following Pang Tong's plan, Liu Bei summoned Yang Huai of the Baishui Army, killed him, and annexed his troops. He sent Huang Zhong,
Zhuo Ying led his army south to attack Liu Zhang and occupied Fucheng.
In the 18th year of Jian'an (213), Liu Zhang sent Liu Quan, Ling Bao, Zhang Ren, Deng Xian, Wu Yi and others to attack Liu Bei in Fu, but they were all defeated by Liu Bei and Wu Yi surrendered.
Liu Zhang then sent Li Yan and Fei Guan to command the Mianzhu armies to stop Liu Bei. Li Yan led his troops to surrender. Liu Bei's army became stronger and he divided his forces to pacify various counties. At the same time, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others led their troops into Shu.
Zhang Ren and Liu Xun retreated to Luocheng. Liu Bei led his army to attack. Zhang Ren attacked and was killed by Liu Bei's army. Liu Xun then could not hold on. When Pang Tong led his army to attack Luocheng, he was hit by a stray arrow and died in the battle.
In the 19th year of Jian'an (214), Luocheng was besieged for nearly a year before it was captured. Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others besieged Chengdu. At that time, Liu Bei sent Li Hui, the governor of Jianning, to surrender to Ma Chao. Ma Chao arrived
In Chengdu, Liu Bei ordered him to lead his army to the north of the city, and the city was shaken for a while. Liu Bei then sent Jian Yong to persuade Liu Zhang to surrender, and then led Yizhou as a pastoralist and used many talents from Shu.
In the 20th year of Jian'an (215), Sun Quan thought that Liu Bei had occupied Yizhou and wanted to return to Jingzhou. Liu Bei responded: "When I can get Liangzhou, I will give Jingzhou to you."
Sun Quan was furious, so he sent Lu Meng to attack Changsha, Lingling and Guiyang counties. Liu Bei then led 50,000 troops to go to the police station and let Guan Yu enter Yiyang.
In the same year, Cao Cao settled Hanzhong and Zhang Lu fled to Brazil. After Liu Bei heard about it, he negotiated peace with Sun Quan and divided Jingzhou equally. On the other hand, he sent Huang Quan to meet Zhang Lu, but Zhang Lu had already surrendered to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao left Xia Houyuan, Zhang He and others to guard Hanzhong and invaded Brazil many times. Liu Bei sent Zhang Fei and Zhang He to fight at Wakou. Zhang He was defeated and returned to Nanzheng, and Liu Bei returned to Chengdu.
In the twenty-third year of Jian'an (218), Liu Bei led his troops to attack Hanzhong and sent Wu Lan, Lei Tong and others to seize Wudu, but were killed by Cao Hong. Liu Bei led his troops to occupy Yangping Pass and resisted Xia Houyuan and Zhang He.
In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219), Liu Bei abandoned Yangping Pass, crossed the Mian River south, and camped at Dingjun Mountain. Xia Houyuan led his army to fight for Dingjun Mountain, but was killed by Huang Zhong.
Then Cao Cao personally brought a large army to fight for Hanzhong. When Liu Bei heard about it, he said: "Although Cao Cao is here, he can't do anything. I will definitely have Hanchuan."
After Cao Cao arrived in Hanzhong, Liu Bei gathered his troops to resist the danger. Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun intercepted Cao's army's food and grass at the Han River. More and more Cao's troops fled and had to retreat. Liu Bei won the battle of Hanzhong and sent Liu Feng and Meng.
Da and others occupied Shangyong.
In the same year, Liu Bei ascended to the throne of Hanzhong, and with the support of the gentry, soldiers, and people of Yizhou and Jingzhou, he reached the pinnacle of his life, overwhelming Cao Wei and Soochow, and became very enviable.
Even the brother of his wife, Princess Soochow, Sun Quan, the lord of Soochow, is the same. After all, the Jingzhou that Soochow misses so much is still borrowed by his brother-in-law Liu Bei, with no return date, while his own Jiangdong is still in Jiangdong.
,
He can only protect himself, but cannot take over the world. He can only watch his brother-in-law approaching the world step by step. He is jealous, but he does not dare to offend his allies who are at the peak of their power. He can only wait for the right "opportunity" first.
At that time, I will take back all the land in Jingzhou in one fell swoop. After all, my brother-in-law is not without a place to live now. He already owns the land in the two states, has many soldiers, generals, and countless money and food. Even if he loses the land in Jingzhou, he can continue the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains.
It would not be like when he wanted to take Yizhou but also pass through Jingzhou like his brother-in-law. There was too little land in the north of the Yangtze River and the Northern Expedition was inconvenient. All of this could only be done after waiting for a suitable time. At this time, Sun Quan was still very hopeful.
"One of our own" brother-in-law Liu Bei stumbled to balance the strength of the two parties.
Sun Quan did not wait long, and soon he got this opportunity. The native Yizhou gentry, which had been suppressed by the outsiders brought by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang from Jingzhou gentry, also had the opportunity to stand up.
Now Liu Bei still doesn't trust the native Yizhou nobles and dare not use them much. He is worried that the native Yizhou nobles will backfire on him and ignore him. It is better for the Jingzhou nobles to use them with confidence. After all, he has been borrowed from Jingzhou for many years.
, unlike Yizhou, which had only been captured not long ago, the hearts of the people had not yet completely belonged to him.
Shortly after Liu Bei occupied Hanzhong, Guan Yu went on the northern expedition alone. Although seven armies were flooded, he was captured in the ban, Pang De was killed, and China was shocked.
kill.
In the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an (220 years), Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty. There were rumors that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty had been killed, so Liu Bei mourned him and gave him the posthumous title of "Emperor Xiaomin".
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Later, his ministers requested him to inherit the throne on the grounds of various auspiciousness and prophecies. Liu Bei did so on Bingwu (April Bingwu) in the 26th year of Jian'an (the second year of Wei Huangchu).
On the sixth day of the lunar month, that is, May 15, 221), he ascended the throne of emperor in the south of Wudan Mountain in Chengdu, and announced the "Second Siwu Ancestor" (successor to Liu Bang and Liu Xiu), with the reign name "Zhang Wu".
Zhuge Liang was appointed Prime Minister and Xu Jing was appointed Situ. In the name of revenge for Guan Yu, Liu Bei sent troops to attack Soochow, and Zhang Fei was killed by his subordinates. Sun sent envoys to ask for peace.
Liu Bei was furious and refused, so Wu general Lu Xun and others stationed troops in Zigui, but were defeated by Shu general Wu Ban. Liu Bei's army occupied Zigui and sent Ma Liang to unite Wuxi Wuxi barbarians.
In the first year of Zhangwu (221), after Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty and established the Wei Dynasty, Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor in Chengdu. His country was named "Han" and his reign was named "Zhangwu".
In the spring of the second year of Zhangwu (222), Liu Bei sent Huang Quan to supervise the navy in the north of the Yangtze River and led the army to march. In the seventh month of autumn, he was defeated by Wu general Lu Xun in the Battle of Yiling. Generals Feng Xi, Zhang Nan and Fu Wei
Cheng Ji and others died in battle.
Liu Bei retreated to Yong'an. Sun Quan was very frightened when he heard that Liu Bei was stationed in Baidi, and sent an envoy to ask for peace. Liu Bei agreed. So far, the power balance between Shu Han and Soochow was restored again. His father Li Yan was also mentioned as the assistant minister.
Although his strength is much worse than that of Zhuge Liang,
However, with the support of the local gentry in Yizhou, the Shu Han Dynasty, which has lost Jingzhou, will be more stable. After all, the strength of the gentry in Jingzhou is weakening now. It is the time for the local gentry in Yizhou to contribute. They cannot be allowed to cause trouble, and they should be allowed to make a big move.
He was very strong, and he needed the support of the local nobles in Yizhou during his lifetime and after his death.
The opportunity for the local gentry in Yizhou to rise was not given by one person, but by the general trend of the world after Liu Bei's defeat. The Yizhou gentry who he single-handedly suppressed must be supported by him to contribute to the Shu Han...
