Chapter 1352: Pacify Yizhou!

Chengdu.

In the name of the imperial court, Bai Xiaowen sent an imperial edict.

Liu Zhang received the edict, and after reading it, he couldn't help feeling flustered, and said, "Duke Yan has won a great victory. The soldiers and horses have arrived in Luocheng. Let me go to the army to meet them. What should I do?"

Wang Lei said: "My lord can't, this is Yan Guogong's plan, and I want to make my lord go out of the city."

Huang Quan was silent.

Fazheng smiled and said, "If the lord refuses to go, he is fighting against the imperial court. Wouldn't he have given up all the friendship of sending troops to help?"

Wang Lei said: "I was opposed to sending troops to help each other. Wouldn't it be better to sit and watch Duke Yan and Liu Bei fight? Even now, it is better to give up your friendship than to die!"

Fazheng said: "When the soldiers of Xichuan faced Liu Bei, they lost more than they won; but when Liu Bei's army faced Duke Yan, they were wiped out within ten days. Can the soldiers of Xichuan fight against the army of Duke Yan?" ?”

Liu Zhang subconsciously shook his head.

Fazheng said: "My lord has this clear lesson, why don't you submit to the court."

Wang Lei resisted and said: "My lord, you can't. Now the trenches and trenches have been dug to the west of the Fu River, and the camps and camps have been established. Our army occupies the danger of the Fu River, which is enough to resist the enemy! The Duke of Yan has burned all the wild valleys around Luocheng before. If you have no capital to use, you will also not be able to stay for a long time, and you will definitely withdraw within three months."

Fazheng looked up to the sky and laughed.

Liu Zhang asked cooperatively, "Why is Xiaozhi laughing?"

Fazheng laughed and said, "I laugh at Wang Lei for not being able to change his mind and not knowing the current affairs. How can Duke Yan be compared to Liu Bei's army alone? Not to mention that he is rich in the Central Plains, Hanzhong alone has enough food and soldiers, which can be used as Duke Yan's rear , to provide food and grass. Wang Lei's vain attempt to fight against Liu Bei's method, against Yan Gong, isn't it a big joke in the world?"

These words moved Liu Zhang. He asked the ministers one last time: "What do you mean by fairness?"

Huang Quan, who had been silent all this time, opened his mouth and said: "I didn't say anything before I went down, because the matter has reached the point of no choice. My lord sent Li Yan and Zhang Song to help Duke Yan with 20,000 soldiers. I'm afraid these soldiers The horse has already been taken over by Duke Yan. Since the lord is unable to resist Duke Yan, it is better to follow the other party's wishes and present the Yizhou household registration album to win a piece of grace when he is serving the army."

Wang Lei said angrily: "Huang Quan! You can't be loyal and filial, but persuade the Lord to surrender? I am ashamed to be with people like you!"

Unmoved, Huang Quan cupped his hands and said to Liu Zhang: "Duke Yan has never had a bad reputation for killing. Cao Pi, the son of Cao Cao, was named the Marquis of Anle Township; Zhang Lu of Dongchuan was named Marquis of Langzhong. With these two as precedents, how can we Make a choice, I hope the lord will think carefully. No matter how the lord chooses, I will follow the lord."

Liu Zhang asked Huang Quan in shock: "Is Li Yan really going to seek refuge with Duke Yan?"

Before the words finished, someone sent a letter from Zhang Song. Liu Zhang opened it and looked at it. In the letter, Li Yan and Zhang Song had surrendered to the imperial court and were enshrined as marquises; Zhang Song also advised Liu Zhang to obey the destiny and submit to the imperial court, etc.

Liu Zhang repented greatly, and said to Huang Quan, "I regret that I didn't listen to your honest advice, but instead I was burdened by villains!"

There was nothing Liu Zhang could do, so he burst into tears and went to Luocheng to comfort the imperial army with printed books, household registration books, gold, pearls and silk, etc.

Bai Xiaowen personally went down the steps to meet Liu Zhang, saying: "You are truly a hero if you are able to obey the fate of the heavens. I will not treat you poorly, so I made you the Marquis of Xichuan, with tens of thousands of households in the city. You can bring your family and move to Rongcheng, Yedu. keep."

Liu Zhang can only thank you.

Bai Xiaowen led his army across Fushui, passed through Mianzhu, and entered Chengdu.

All civil and military officials in Chengdu were ordered to come to see him.

The power of Bai Xiaowen's super brain is also reflected. The officials who came to visit, no matter how big or small, after mentioning their names, Bai Xiaowen can tell the merits and demerits of each other; this is also thanks to Zhang Song, Fazheng and others. person's prior introduction.

Those who have made merit will be rewarded, and those who have done wrong will be punished. Generally speaking, encouragement is the main thing.

Within three days, Xichuan's civil and military officials had all taken refuge in Bai Xiaowen, and the situation changed.

Zhang Song said to Fazheng privately: "Duke Yan is really the hero who ordered the world. He not only has martial arts strategy, but also has literary affairs. If Liu Zhang has half the ability of Duke Yan, he is enough to keep Yizhou and watch the changes in the world." .”

Bai Xiaowen still used the original civil servants to govern Xichuan, appointed Zhang Song as the shepherd of Yizhou, and Fazheng as the prefect of Shu County. However, in terms of the army, a wave of blood changes was carried out, and captains were set up in various counties to consolidate their rule in Yizhou.

Xichuan was pacified, and Bai Xiaowen held a banquet to celebrate.

It's not that Bai Xiaowen likes to waste time. Holding a banquet to celebrate is an important custom in the Three Kingdoms plane.

The envoy who went to the ruins of Fushuiguan to recruit Zhuge Liang also sent back news.

Zhuge Liang and his wife set up a gossip formation in the ruins of Fushuiguan to block Han Xu's army for two days and one night. After Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were captured, Zhuge Liang and his wife disappeared.

Now Han Xu has led his army out, with 20,000 troops temporarily stationed in Jiangyang.

In addition, the messenger also brought back good news that Pound had recovered from his illness and took the initiative to fight.

It just so happened that Gao Gan recruited 10,000 new troops, and Zhong Yao recruited 20,000 new troops. They were screened together with the previous soldiers from Xiliang, and finally got 25,000 elite soldiers, who were handed over to Pang De to lead them. Come, now you have arrived in Nanzheng, and you can reach Xichuan in a few days.

This is where Bai Xiaowen's advantage lies. He holds three-quarters of the land in the world, and his war potential is not comparable to that of Liu Bei, who has only half of Jingzhou.

Bai Xiaowen still adopted the strategy of elite soldiers, and those old, weak and remnant soldiers were all sent to farm. If you recruit a large army regardless of the advantages and disadvantages, you can pull up a scale of more than 300,000 in a month.

This is also the reason why Zhuge Liang has exhausted his intelligence, but it is also difficult to fight against it. When the general trend comes, fate cannot be violated!

At this point, the main task of the third stage of unification, Long Wangshu, has also been declared completed and can be submitted.

There is no reward for the main task of the Great Unity, so there is nothing to hesitate, just submit it after completion.

It took a total of 32 days to collect Dongchuan and Xichuan this time, two days more than the scheduled 30 days.

The battle is not too intense, mainly because most of the time, you have to wait for the best time, so it takes a long time.

For example, after capturing Hanzhong, when did they enter Xichuan? It is very particular.

If Bai Xiaowen hastily entered Xichuan, showing his intention to close Sichuan, and Liu Bei and Liu Zhang, who had not yet broken up at the time, joined forces to resist, just relying on two natural barriers, they could stop Bai Xiaowen for a long time.

It is unknown whether Xichuan can be collected; even if it can be collected, it will take at least twice as long.

It can be seen from this that it is not that after becoming the leader of the faction and having a good start, the unification will definitely be completed. In the follow-up promotion of the unification process, if one is not careful, it is easy to overrun the time and fall short.

Yizhou has been pacified, and the next thing to deal with is the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang, and Zhao Yun.
