Chapter 85 History of Bashu
A fire burned in the fireplace, and the smell of burning pine wafted through the hall.
Yun Yue stood in front of a huge map, and next to him stood Changping Jun Chang Wenjun, and an old friend, Heng Tooth!
The permanent teeth were rushed back from the Eastern Front, and a new situation arose on the Eastern Front. The cavalry of the Zhao State actually appeared in the three eastern counties, and the three Jin Dynasty seemed to have a tendency to join forces to resist Qin. Gong Qi specially sent Hengya back to Xianyang to report the military situation, and Yun Yue naturally couldn't let go when he saw this kind of player. insisted on asking Wang Ling to come over, and he was so angry that the Duke of Qi in the three eastern counties beat his chest.
Meng Fu on the front line of the Wei State was also furious, and he lost the young general Li Xin. Originally, Yun Yue wanted her old partner Wang Qian, but she was resolute and insistent. He could only settle for the next best thing and asked Li Xin, the most prestigious of the young generals, to come over.
This was Yun Yue's first military meeting before departure, and basically all the generals who should have arrived had arrived. Chang Pingjun and Chang Wenjun are both wearing well-fitting armor. But that fair face, no matter how you look at it, it's a creamy little girl. Seeing Hengya and Li Xin, he is still a gentleman. Their status is respected, and Hengya and Li Xin dare not give face. They all got up and saluted back!
Hengya and Yun Yue are old acquaintances, and Li Xin is the fastest young general in recent times. He is a native of Huaili, and he can be regarded as half of Xianyang. He joined the army at the age of thirteen and became a military commander at the age of fourteen. A year later, he was promoted to sentry commander, and then lieutenant.
He once led a group of light soldiers with their hair and masks, and entered the enemy line in the middle of the night. Killed the two captains of the Wei army, and helped Meng Yu break the Wei army and take Xun and Yu Ercheng in one fell swoop.
Now Li Xin is the captain of Yingyang in the Mengfu army, and the commander of the 3,000 light soldiers is the most effective general under Mengfu. At the age of eighteen, it is not easy to do this resume.
"This time I call you all. It is a plan to discuss how to cut down Bashu. You are all experts at military battles. General Permanent Tooth also has experience in guarding Pingliang. Let's talk about it. How should this battle be played? Speak up today! Yun Yue ordered someone to serve tea, and then retired the servants. Tie Ta and Zheng Bin stood at the door with their whole bodies draped, and they were not allowed to fly in.
Li Xin and Hengya were shocked, and they saw that they were going to go on the expedition the day after tomorrow. This handsome man didn't even come up with a strategy, and this battle was a fart. These days, when they inspect the barracks, most of what they see are old and weak. The Eastern Front has already evacuated almost all of Great Qin's elite soldiers, and now only these people can be drawn out of the local garrison. The only good news is that the old troops of Yunhou's original conquest of the Chengzhen rebellion have been transferred. Especially the 20,000 cavalry of Yiqu Jun. After grabbing a lot of money, Yu also returned to Xianyang yesterday.
Yun Yue is also helpless, and it is difficult for Shu Dao to go to the blue sky. Shu is mountainous and not suitable for large-scale cavalry at all. Moreover, it is also difficult for people from the northwest to adapt to the climate when they enter Shu. The insects and beasts in the mountains and forests are even more unheard of by these steppe cavalry. The river network is dense and the ditches are vertical and horizontal. It is really not conducive to cavalry combat, Yun Yue has always respected cavalry. It is foreseeable that such a terrain can only be white-headed.
Seeing Hengya and Li Xin looking at him blankly, Yun Yue was a little helpless. "Let's let the two gentlemen talk about the situation in Bashu!" Yun Yue simply kicked the ball to Chang Pingjun and Chang Wenjun.
The land of Bashu and the state of Chu are clothed and watery, and they are dependent on each other. In terms of national feelings. Their relationship with the Chu people is much closer than that with the Qin people. This is also the reason why Qin Qing became a confidant of the Empress of Filial Piety. Changping Jun and Chang Wenjun went to Shu many times. The land of Bashu can be described as well understood.
"Ahem......!" Seeing Yun Yue asking his brother, Chang Pingjun coughed lightly. After a while, I thought about it and said slowly.
"The original land of Shu, the country of Ba, and the country of Shu. The ancestors of the Ba people and the Shu people all participated in the war of Zhou Tianzi against the Yin people. Ba people have the famous "Bayu Dance", "Singing and Dancing to Ling Yin People". After King Wu Keyin, he was named Zongji Yuba, the son of the knight, and the founding of the country was in the Han River.
Among the struggle for hegemony among the countries, Shu has been strong for many years due to geographical reasons. As strong as the Qin people, they were also defeated many times in the Qin-Pakistan War that year.
However, God does not bless the Shu Kingdom, since the twelfth grandson of the King of Shu Cong. When King Kaiming succeeded to the throne, the kingdom of Shu began to decline. This enlightened king has almost all the faults of the faint king, he is greedy for money, indiscriminately exercising authority, lustful, and has made a good end of a country into a miasma.
For the sake of pleasure, the enlightened king built a large number of buildings. Build Qibao Tower and Wangfei Tower, these buildings are white jade for stepping pearls for curtains, gold for tiles and red sandalwood for beams. Extreme luxury can only be done, and there is no one in the palace in the world. That's not all, the enlightened king built a luxurious giant ship, parrot boats and rivers. Its degree of luxury is better than that of Qibao Tower and Wangfei Tower.
From the beginning of the day the boat was completed, the enlightened king led the civil and military officials and a large number of concubines and concubines to travel happily in the country. Everywhere he went, the local clans had to serve with all their might. The slightest neglect can result in whipping and beheading. A good Shu country was made by him to boil the people's resentment, and the Shu people were displaced.
After the enlightened Wang Xingzhi arrived, he was fortunate to go to the Hanzhong area. Set up the army array and place the book King Qin, and strongly invite King Huiwen to come to Shu to observe the exercises of the Shu army.
It was this time that King Huiwen saw that Shu was strong and strong, but the inner government was empty. When he returned to Daqin, he ended the dispute between the general Sima Cuo and the Xiangbang Zhang Yi. strongly supported Sima Cuo's words and attacked Shu.
Just when the Qin State was actively preparing for war and preparing to attack Bashu. The younger brother of the enlightened king, Hou Hou, plotted to cause chaos, secretly befriended the Pakistani state, and tried to use the power of Pakistan to overthrow the enlightened king in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, the matter was revealed, and the enlightened king was furious. Sent troops to recruit the Marquis of Tho and the country of Ba, the Shu people had sharp armor, and the Ba people asked for help from Daqin when they were defeated.
Great Qin intends to send troops to reinforce, but Shu Road is difficult. Not only is it not easy for the army to walk, but it is also difficult to supply logistical baggage. King Huiwen ordered craftsmen to carve five stone oxen and place them on the border. Every day, gold is put under the body of the ox, and it is claimed that this stone ox will pull gold.
When the enlightened king learned of this, he checked it with his confidants. The henchman voted for the favor of the enlightened king, and his words were indeed true. So the enlightened king asked the king of Qin for this stone ox, and after extorting a large amount of grain, grass and wealth. The king of Qin agreed to the request of the enlightened king, and the enlightened king was overjoyed. However, the stone cow has a huge body and is difficult to luck.
So the enlightened king sent the Wuding brothers to build a plank road, and even in order to build a plank road, he transferred the soldiers in front as soldiers. The morale of the Shu army was so low that the Ba people and the Hou Hou were able to breathe.
The Wuding brothers built the plank road in three years, because it was a golden bull and repaired, and it was called the golden bull road. On the day of the road to completion, the king of Shu was enlightened and elated. But Shi Niu Lashu found out that this was the same as Shi Niu. The enlightened King of Shu, who was deceived by King Huiwen, was angry and angry, and not only executed the lying henchman. He also vowed to conquer Daqin and compete with King Huiwen.
King Huiwen wanted to march into Shu, but the five Wuding brothers were brave. All of them were unduly brave, so King Huiwen sent an envoy to admit to his face that the cow was just a stone ox. King Qin deceived the King of Shu and felt guilty. Five characters who are willing to regard the Qin State as a national treasure are dedicated to the King of Shu.
The enlightened King of Shu is a lustful person, and when he hears that there is a beauty that Daqin regards as a national treasure. Naturally, he refused to let it go, and agreed with joy. He also sent a gift to the envoy and allocated a large amount of grain and grass to the Qin State as a dowry! And sent five Ding and five brothers to welcome their relatives, and they wanted to welcome five stunning beauties to Shu.
Wuding arrived in the Qin State and was warmly received by King Huiwen. And really led out five stunning beauties.
On the way home with five beauties, Wuding Lux passed by the place of Zitong and suddenly saw a big snake drilling into a cave. One of the five wrestlers hurriedly ran over and grabbed its tail and pulled it out one by one, trying to kill the snake and rid the people of harm. But the snake was too big to be dragged by one man, so the five brothers came together. At this time, the head of the snake has entered the cave, and the tail of the snake is at the entrance of the cave. Several of them used their hand skills to drag the snake's tail. After a while. Little by little, the serpent was dragged out of the cave,
The brothers were overjoyed. Suddenly, the demon wind made a strange noise, only to hear a loud noise, the earth shook the mountain, the mountain collapsed, and in an instant, five strong men and five beauties were crushed to death, turned into blood and mud, and a big mountain turned into five peaks and mountains!
The king of Shu was enlightened when he heard the news and was overwhelmed with grief. He dreamed of getting these five beauties for him to have fun. He personally climbed these five mountains to pay brazen tribute, and named these five mountains as five women, but as for the death of five strong men, he was not distressed at all. The people were very unaccustomed to the behavior of this faint king, and they revered the Wuding brothers very much, so they called these five mountains Wuding Mountain.
When the king of Qin heard that the five Ding brothers had died, he immediately sent Sima to make him a general. Led the Qin army to crusade against Shu through the Golden Bull Road.
The Qin army, under the leadership of Sima Cuo, reached the hinterland of Shu along the Jinniu Road, Guangyuan, Zhaohua, and Kejianmen Pass. The enlightened king of Shu hurriedly led a large army and fought a decisive battle with the Qin army at the Yameng Pass. At this time, the Shu army had no fighting spirit, and thousands of people fled overnight.
The Shu army was defeated, and the enlightened king fled south to Pengshan with the remnants of his army, and was finally killed by the rebellious army. The enlightened crown prince was killed in the battle of Bailu Mountain in Pengzhou. Another son led 30,000 soldiers and fled south to Jiaozhi and established himself as the king of Anyang in Luocheng.
After the fall of Shu, Hou Hou and Ba successively declared themselves vassals to Great Qin. King Huiwen ordered Zhang Yi to preside over the construction of Chengdu City, which was the same scale as Xianyang. It can be seen that Great Qin attaches great importance to the land of Bashu, and Great Qin successively sent Li Bing and his son to guard the land of Bashu.
Li Bing and his son lived up to the trust of the previous king and built Dujiangyan. Since then, Chengdu City has no longer been disturbed by floods, and has created 10,000 acres of fertile land on the Bashu Plain.
With this, Great Qin attaches great importance to the land of Bashu, and regards it as a granary that can be heavily taxed. Although Shu has a bumper harvest every year, there is more and more grain needed on the eastern front. By the time of King Zhuangxiang, the tax system of Bashu had reached a very high level. This rebellion was caused by excessive persecution by the tax collectors. (To be continued.) )
