In the tenth year of Chen Taijian's reign, on December 26, the second year of Zhou Xiangxiang's reign (the reign of Yuwen Yun), the general conquered the north. Li Xinchen, the Marquis of Hanzhong, went to the altar to worship heaven in Shu County, and established himself as king. The country was named "Han" and the Shu County "Chengdu" was restored.
"The old name, with Chengdu as the royal city, declared independence.
As soon as the news came out, the world was in an uproar. But the real uproar was those who had grievances with Li Xinchen. As for the rest, after a brief sigh of relief, they had to weigh it carefully. Li Xinchen was officially independent, which represented Li Xinchen's actions.
A force has officially stepped onto the stage of the entire era.
At this time, many people were surprised to find that Li Xingchen had accumulated such a large family fortune at some time, and many people had to lament this young man's forbearance and accumulation. If it were an ordinary person, he might be able to take advantage of it.
When I got to Hanzhong, I couldn't help but want to taste the feeling of being an emperor.
After all, there were many such people in history, such as Gongsun Shu and Uncle Liu Huang back then.
In any case, Li Xingchen's self-reliance completely drew a clear line with Nanchen. From then on, the world became a three-legged situation of Nanchen, Northern Zhou and Li Xingchen's new King of Han. Of course, for the Northern Zhou, the ongoing internal fighting had already made the country
There is no spare power to deal with enemies from any direction, so perhaps it is more appropriate to say that the world is divided into four parts.
"Please tell His Highness the King of Qi that a certain organization will deliver 30,000 arrows and 5,000 armor to him in the near future."
Li Xingchen was sitting in the Han Dynasty Palace in Chengdu Palace that had been renovated in advance. This was originally the palace of Xiao Ji. Later, after Yuchi Jiong entered Shu, local officials in the Northern Zhou Dynasty naturally did not dare to use the palace of the previous dynasty as their own.
The palace. Therefore, the palace has been abandoned. Now that Li Xingchen has ascended the throne as King of Han, the palace is naturally ready-made, and Tang Yishun and others are not stupid. It will be too late to prepare the palace after the general becomes king, because before Li Xingchen
Before returning from Hanzhong, the renovation of the mansion had actually been completed.
Sitting next to Li Xingchen was Yu Wenxian's younger brother, Yu Wenwen, the Duke of Xiyang County. Yu Wenwen's father was Yu Wenliang, the Duke of Qi State, who could be regarded as a veteran on the battlefield. Because he had always been jealous of Yang Jian, he was
Yu Wenliang, who was the general manager of Anzhou (today's Miyun, Beijing), did not hesitate to follow Yu Wenxian in raising troops. In fact, Yu Wenliang had no other choice. Yu Wenxian was in Yecheng and Yu Wenchun was in Jinyang. He was originally interested in the little Anzhou.
The state was in a tense situation, and Yu Wenliang did not have the courage to face the attack from the two armies.
Although Yu Wenliang did not have any achievements in his life, and only Meng Zuyin was able to reach this position, for Yu Wenxian, the expressions of these royal family members are exactly what he needs most, and because of Yu Wen Yun and Yang Jian's suspicion
Therefore, Yu Wenliang's loyalty can also be guaranteed. Letting Yu Wenliang stay at the rear can also allow Yu Wenxian to mobilize more troops.
However, in this situation of civil war, Yu Wenxian still did not forget to save a hand. Yu Wenliang's eldest son Yu Wenwen has been following Yu Wenxian's army. At best, it is to support the younger generations, but at worst, it is not without detention.
The meaning of hostage.
This time, Yu Wenxian sent his blood-related brother to come to conclude a big deal with Li Xingchen, which could be regarded as an expression of his sincerity.
But looking at Yu Wenwen, who had a slightly childish look on his face, Li Xingchen had an absurd feeling. Because the historical captain Chi Chifan was married to this Xiyang County Duke Yu Wenwen, who would have known that Yu Wenyun saw him at a family gathering.
After Yuchi Chifan was killed, he was directly forced into the palace.
Yu Wenwen was newly married and wore a cuckold on his head, and his wife was gone. Naturally, he was very angry. However, after all, it was Yu Wen Yun who put the cuckold on him, and the authority of His Majesty the Emperor could not be shaken.
But before Yu Wen Wen could swallow his anger, Yu Wen Yun did not hesitate to accuse Yu Wen Wen's father, Yu Wen Liang, of treason, hoping to eliminate future troubles.
It was unbearable. Yu Wenliang, who noticed the rumor, couldn't sit still. He simply united with other relatives of the emperor who were dissatisfied with Yu Wen Yun to rebel. As a result, Wei Xiaokuan wiped him out three times, five to two, and the cuckold.
Yu Wenwen also took the opportunity to kill Yu Wen Yun on the charge of treason, thus completely occupying Yuchi Chifan.
It's just that there don't seem to be so many grudges in this time and space. Yuchi Chifan was still cowering in Li Xingchen's arms last night, and Yu Wenliang was not forced to rebel, and stood on Yu Wenxian's side openly and honestly.
Thinking of this, Li Xingchen had to lament that fate had played a trick on people. This cuckold case, which aroused widespread dissatisfaction among the Northern Zhou nobles against Yu Wen Yun, was changed in this way, and this also allowed Yu Wen Yun and Yang Jian to gain a lot of Northern Zhou dynasty at least at this time.
With the support of nobles and even relatives of the emperor, he could withstand Yu Wenxian's attack for a longer period of time.
Looking at Yu Wenwen who was engrossed in checking the terms, Li Xingchen laughed evilly in his heart.
I helped you avert a fatal disaster, so you have to thank me.
Of course, Yu Wenwen didn't know what Li Xingchen was thinking at this time. For a young man who was just starting out, he didn't even have the courage to look directly into the eyes of a powerful man like Li Xingchen. If the terms hadn't been negotiated before, in fact,
Yu Wenwen came here just to reconfirm and express his trust with Li Xingchen, so Yu Wenxian probably wouldn't let such a young man come over.
In order to obtain these arrows and armor in the shortest time, Yu Wenxian also spent a lot of money. Not only did he support Li Xinchen with 100,000 shi of food and grass, but he also provided 3,000 taels of gold and hundreds of well-bred war horses.
In fact, Li Xingchen also knew that what Yu Wenxian was squandering was the family fortune left by the Northern Qi Dynasty. Of course, Li Xingchen did not believe that Yu Wenxian, who had originally planned to disband and return to his fields, could come up with so much money and food in a short period of time. It must have been because the Northern Qi Dynasty was in Yecheng
of savings.
It didn't take long for the Northern Zhou Dynasty to capture the city of Ye, but Yu Wenyong died soon after. The Northern Zhou Dynasty entered a state of mourning, and there were constant wars on the front line. It is probably because they could not concentrate all the money and food in Guanzhong, so they decided to conquer Yecheng.
The city left considerable savings in order to be able to support the Huaibei front and the war against the Turks in the north.
It is a pity that neither the deceased Yu Wenyong nor the high-spirited Yu Wenxian ever thought that one day these money and grains would be transferred to former enemies to gain more support against their former own.
"The terms are correct, please trouble Your Highness the King of Han." Yu Wenwen put down this heavy treaty and stood up to salute solemnly.
Li Xingchen smiled: "In this case, without further delay, Xiyang County Duke will return to Luoyang as soon as possible to inform His Highness King Qi of the matter. I will send people now to implement the terms of the contract."
After a pause, Li Xingchen waved and said: "Li Ping, see you off!" (To be continued)
