Chapter eight hundred and sixty-eight, please enter the urn
At present, Gongsun Shu has hundreds of thousands of troops in Shu, known as millions. He has hoarded a huge amount of grain, grass and materials, and is already ready for a war. Gongsun Shu's court is also full of talents.
Gongsun Shu was not a freeloader. He was able to control Yizhou not because the whole world dropped a pie on his head, but because he was defeated with real swords and guns.
He fought with the Mang army, the rebel army, and Liu Xuan's troops. After winning a series of victories, he laid the foundation for his presence in Yizhou.
Gongsun Shu was able to win every battle in Yizhou, which not only showed that he was talented, but also showed that he was very popular among the people in Yizhou. It was precisely because of the support of the people in Yizhou that he dared to proclaim himself emperor in Chengdu and establish
Found a family and court.
Excluding those who died, most of the powerful people who were defeated by Liu Xiu in Jingzhou came to Gongsun Shu, such as Yancen, Tian Rong and others. Gongsun Shu also gave great treatment to these people who came to seek refuge with him.
High treatment.
He worshiped Yancen as Grand Sima and conferred the title of King of Runing, and Tian Rong was canonized as the King of Yijiang. Gongsun Shu also created the official seals of all states and counties in the world, just waiting to unify the world so that he could be canonized as public ministers and hundreds of officials.
At that time, the shipbuilding industry in Shu was also very developed. Gongsun Shuren built a ten-story silk ship, which was known as the best ship in the world.
It has to be said that when all the forces in the Central Plains were fighting to their death, Yizhou was hardly affected by the war.
When Gongsun Shu was in Yizhou, he just sat on the mountain and watched the fight between tigers and tigers. However, he was not idle either. He had been recharging his energy, gathering troops and horses, and training the three armies. There were hundreds, thousands, and countless chariots and horses.
Inside the court hall.
As soon as Gongsun Shu finished speaking, Li Meng stepped out of the queue, saluted Gongsun Shu, and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the army to seize the third auxiliary!"
Li Meng is Li Xiong's younger brother, and Li Xiong is Gongsun Shu's confidant. At first, Gongsun Shu listened to Li Xiong's advice and made up his mind to become king of Shu. Later, Li Xiong took the lead in persuading Gongsun Shu to join.
Proclaimed himself emperor in Chengdu.
It can be said that when Gongsun Shu made important decisions, Li Xiong was always around him. In modern terms, Li Xiong was Gongsun Shu's die-hard fan.
Li Xiong was good at planning, and his younger brother Li Meng was good at fighting. The two brothers, both literary and military, were the founding heroes who made great contributions to Gongsun Shu.
Before Gongsun Shu could speak, another general stepped out of the queue, raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the troops into battle!"
This general was named Yuan Fu. When the rebel army led by Zong Cheng arrived in Chengdu, they burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil. Gongsun Shu, who was still serving as a local official, became angry and summoned local heroes to resist Zong Cheng. During the battle, General Gongsun Shu
Zong Cheng was defeated. At that time, Deputy Yuan was still Zong Cheng's subordinate. Seeing that the situation was over, he made a decisive decision, unexpectedly killed Zong Cheng, and took refuge with Gongsun Shu. Speaking of which, this Deputy Yuan was also a founding father who had followed Gongsun Shu for many years.
Seeing that the generals under his command were high-spirited and invited to fight one after another, Gongsun Shu smiled, pondered for a moment, and said: "Li Meng can be the chief general, and Deputy Yuan can be the deputy general. If I give you two hundred thousand troops, you can win the battle."
Sansuke?"
Without even thinking about it, Deputy Yuan raised his hands and said, "I am confident that our army will win this battle!"
Li Meng glanced at Deputy Yuan and said with a proud look on his face: "It's just a mere third assistant. It doesn't matter. What Weichen wants is the head of the one hundred thousand thieves!"
His words were said into Gongsun Shu's heart. Feng Yi was now imprisoned, and the Western Expeditionary Army stationed in Chang'an was leaderless. Taking advantage of this opportunity, it was not difficult to capture the third assistant.
If we can take the opportunity to kill all the 100,000-strong Western Expeditionary Army, it will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to Luoyang. For our own side, it will eliminate a major worry.
Gongsun Shu stood up and stepped down from the throne. He came to Li Meng and said meaningfully: "Huan Zhi (Li Meng's nickname is Huan Zhi), if you can really wipe out all the enemy troops, when you return in triumph,
I’ll be ten miles out of the capital to welcome you!”
Li Meng was moved when he heard this, and hurriedly stepped in to salute Gongsun Shu, and said in a strong voice: "Your Majesty, don't worry, in this battle, I will fulfill my mission!"
Gongsun Shu patted Li Meng's thick arm and burst into laughter. Gongsun Shu appointed Li Meng as the chief general and Deputy Yuan as the deputy general. He commanded 100,000 troops and sent out three assistants. This incident also made all the ministers in the court happy.
Inspire.
Being an emperor in Chengdu does not feel like a real emperor after all. If he can capture the third auxiliary and move the capital to Chang'an, he will be the real lord of the world, even more authentic than the one in Luoyang.
Now, we finally have the opportunity to leave Chengdu and move the capital to Chang'an. Can people not be excited?
The ministers were happy, and Gongsun Shu was even happier. However, just when he was in high spirits, someone poured cold water on him, Mo Yan. After the dynasty dispersed, Mo Yan entered the palace, met Gongsun Shu, and asked him to postpone sending troops.
Sansuke.
After Liu Xiu became emperor, he reused the imperial envoys. Gongsun Shu also followed Liu Xiu's example and established the imperial envoy system. However, he only learned some superficial knowledge and did not learn the essence. Gongsun Shu's imperial emissary system and Liu Xiu's imperial emissary system
In comparison, there is a huge difference.
Mo Yan did not have a specific position in the Chengjia court. At present, his apparent title was just that of an imperial envoy. But in fact, he played the role of a think tank for Gongsun Shu.
Hearing that Mo Yan asked him to postpone sending troops, Gongsun Shu couldn't help but be startled, frowning and said: "Feng Yi is not here at the moment, and the Western Expedition Army is leaderless. Isn't it a good opportunity for us to send troops to the Third Auxiliary?"
Mo Yan frowned and said quietly: "Wei Chen always feels that this matter is not that simple. Liu Xiu's treatment of Feng Yi is a bit too rash!"
Mo Yan knew Liu Xiu very well.
As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles. If you don't know your enemy, how can you defeat your enemy? Mo Yan has already regarded Liu Xiu as his number one enemy. How could he not know Liu Xiu?
Liu Xiu always valued friendship, what was his relationship with Feng Yi? Feng Yi was one of the earliest confidants to follow him. He followed Liu Xiu from Nanyang to Yingchuan, patrolled Hebei from Luoyang, and defeated Wang Lang and the rebels in Hebei.
He fought countless battles and even took Liu Xiu's life.
Among the ministers under Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu and Feng Yi were very close. This time Liu Xiu suddenly threw Feng Yi into prison. It didn't look like Liu Xiu's style. Mo Yan was keenly aware of it.
There is something fishy.
He told Gongsun Shu exactly what he was worried about. After hearing this, Gongsun Shu burst into laughter and said slowly, "Sir, you still don't understand Liu Xiu!"
Unexpectedly, Gongsun Shu would suddenly say such a sentence. Mo Yan looked at Gongsun Shu in confusion, with an expression that he was willing to hear the details. Gongsun Shu said with a smile: "After a person sits on the throne, sir, you know that he is most afraid of him."
What?"
Mo Yan slowly shook his head.
Gongsun Shu said: "Rebellion!" After a pause, he said: "For close ministers, everything is easy to discuss and any mistakes can be forgiven. But once it involves rebellion, then it will step on the emperor's bottom line. This kind of
Didn't things happen often around Liu Xiu? First there was Peng Chong, then Deng Feng. Not long ago, even Pang Meng rebelled against Liu Xiu. Sir, you are no stranger to Pang Meng, right? This was praised by Liu Xiu as admirable
The confidants who entrusted him to the three-foot-long orphan have rebelled against him. Who can Liu Xiu trust now? No matter how good and close the relationship between Feng Yi and Liu Xiu was, he first killed the Chang'an order, and then the imperial envoy, three times in a row.
The people all call him the King of Xianyang, how can Liu Xiu have no fear of him?"
Liu Xiu is the emperor, and he is also the emperor. If his ministers are like this, he will definitely not be relieved. In his opinion, Liu Xiu is already kind enough to Feng Yi, but he just puts Feng Yi in prison.
If it were him, there would be no need to do this and he would directly order his death.
Mo Yan looked at Gongsun Shu meaningfully and muttered in her heart, Liu Xiu is not you, how can there be any comparison between the two of you?
If Liu Xiu was so narrow-minded and suspicious, the founding heroes under him would have been in trouble long ago. How could they still live in peace and stability until now?
Mo Yan said sternly: "We think that Your Majesty should be cautious and wait until everything is investigated clearly before making a decision."
Gongsun Shu waved his hand and said: "Soldiers are very fast. Opportunities cannot be missed. They will never come back! Our spies stationed in Luoyang have already investigated very clearly. Feng Yi is indeed detained in Tingwei Mansion. Feng Yi's
The wife went to plead for mercy, but was unable to see Feng Yi. Later, she went to the palace to beg Liu Xiu, but Liu Xiu did not see her at all. She and her two young sons knelt outside the palace for a whole day!"
Although it is an exaggeration, the general situation is indeed like this. Mo Yan said meaningfully: "Wei Chen... I still want to send someone to check carefully!"
Gongsun Shu looked at Mo Yan who was worried, smiled slightly, and said, "Sir, you are too cautious! Please rest assured, sir, Chimei's mistake will not happen to me again!"
In Gongsun Shu's view, Mo Yan was bitten by a snake and was afraid of well ropes for ten years. When he was in the Red Eyebrow Army, he was frightened to death by Liu Xiu, but now he is extremely cautious when facing Liu Xiu.
Seeing that he could not persuade Gongsun Shu at all, Mo Yan couldn't help but sigh, shook his head and said, "Wei Chen is really worried, this is Liu Xiu's trick!"
Gongsun Shu smiled and said: "Sir, this time the third assistant is in my pocket. Sir, just wait to accompany me to Chang'an for a drink!"
Mo Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head. What he wanted to find out most now was whether Feng Yi was being detained in Tingwei Mansion.
However, the guards of Tingwei Mansion are impregnable, and his people really can't get in. They can't sneak inside to find out what's going on. They can only get information from the outside, and in Mo Yan's eyes, this information may not be reliable.
In the end, Gongsun Shu did not listen to Mo Yan's dissuasion and insisted on sending troops and three assistants.
Yizhou is adjacent to Sanfu. Beyond Hanzhong County in Yizhou, more than a hundred miles to the north is Chang'an. It is not an exaggeration to describe the two places as being within easy reach.
Therefore, Liu Xiucai regarded Gongsun Shu as the biggest threat to the three assistants. Similarly, Gongsun Shu also regarded the Western Expedition Army stationed in Chang'an as his biggest threat.
Li Meng and Lieutenant Yuan led an army of 100,000 people, first from Chengdu to Hanzhong, and then from Hanzhong north to attack Chang'an.
The army headed by Li Meng and Vice-President Yuan appeared so suddenly, as if falling from the sky, that they appeared near Chang'an unexpectedly.
Upon hearing the news of the enemy's invasion, the people in the Han army's camp fell on their backs and became a mess.
As the army of Li Meng and Deputy Commander Yuan continued to approach, the Han troops in the camp ran out of the camp one after another. Some people ran towards Chang'an, while some seemed to be confused about east, west, north and south, so they just ran in any direction.
The 100,000 troops of the Western Expedition were in chaos like a pile of scattered sand. After hearing the news from the spies, Li Meng and the other generals laughed loudly. Li Meng raised the corners of his mouth with a look of contempt on his face and said proudly: "It is said to be victorious in every battle.
The Western Expeditionary Army is nothing more than this! Today’s battle is the battle where we will become famous in one fell swoop!”
All the generals intervened and said in unison: "We will follow the general to the death, kill all the enemy troops, behead all the enemy heads, and conquer Chang'an in one fell swoop!"
