1053 The first emperor and the last master all misunderstood people
Jing Nan Chengxian was suspicious of killing, and even his own flesh and blood were not spared. I had to run away, but the late emperor of Shu was even more awesome... Even if he accepted me as his adopted son, if he fought for the first time, he thought that I was going to develop his power and would be a disaster in the future, so he would not ask for my life... If he had not been lucky enough to follow the Wei Dynasty, he had not been killed unjustly, so he could only die like a thin ice.
Wang Jian, Wang Jian... You took over more than a hundred adopted sons, but the wise and brave men of them were even more suspicious of you. You were not killed unjustly, so you had to leave and rebel. Now, Yi'er, who is in power in Shu, is mostly evil people who harm the country and the people; among the dozen or so children, you have chosen the most lewd and incompetent, which has caused the country to be decayed to such a situation. If you, the late emperor of Shu, had you ever thought that there would be today?
Xu Cun thought in his heart that he had been holding back his resentment when he was working in Shu Kingdom. Now that he has returned to his hometown, he also feels proud and proud.
For Xia Luqi, who was the Northeast camp, at that time, he felt that the Shu army was often defeated and the battle was really easy, and it was inevitable that he could not be interested. However, according to the imperial edict of Emperor Li Tianqu, it is necessary to capture Chengdu as soon as possible and force Shu to surrender. The smoother the war is... However, the terrain of Mianzhu Pass, the gateway to the north of Chengdu, is steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack. If the Shu army concentrates its forces to resist stubbornly... It will be the most severe battle after the Wei army enters Shu.
Regarding Wang Zongbi, a powerful minister of Shu Kingdom who commanded heavy troops to preside over the defense of Mianzhu Pass, Xu Cun discussed military aircraft with Xia Luqi, and the evaluation given to him was:
"This guy once rebelled against the late emperor of Shu, but was even Kuanxu, and was ordered to become an important minister of the auxiliary country... It is said that the late emperor of Shu is suspicious and easy to kill, and it is rare to be so favored by Wang Zongbi. However, Wang Zongbi was useless to be the important minister who was entrusted with orphans. This person was always frugal and abolished his ministers.
Although he made many military achievements when he embezzled the two rivers in the past, his life was at stake. He had been afraid of death and surrendered to the enemy. The last general thought that our army would continue to put pressure on Mianzhu Pass. Wang Zongbi was also very likely to be afraid, and would have the intention of offering the pass to surrender and protecting himself..."
...Xu Cun said that when Wang Zongbi was now under the cover of the sky with only one hand in the Shu court, his tone was also clearly disdainful and disgusted. It is said that they were adopted by the late emperor of Shu and were brave and resourceful, and hoped to make more contributions, but he was suspicious of Wang Jian and almost suffered the death;
Wang Zongbi did betray his adopted father. As a result, Wang Jian not only treated him as before, but also gave him the will to be the minister of government and became the supreme leader in military power... In addition, this guy relied on his power, which led to the decline of Shu Kingdom. Although Xu Cun had long been to the Wei Dynasty, no matter who received such differentiated treatment, he would inevitably have to hold back his anger...
However, Xu Cun expected that Wang Zongbi was facing the pressure of a large army and was likely to surrender. This was quite a bit of a high opinion of him... Because the Wei army, who was ready to go in Brazil County, Mianzhou, had not yet set off to fight toward Mianzhu Pass, Wang Zongbi sent his son Wang Chengban, dressed in a large number of cars and wars, and took the initiative to rush to the Brazilian county, and even came to ask for a visit to the Wei army's chief general...
"The prince-in-law of Shu Kingdom, Wang Chengban, visited the Duke of the Capital, and the deputy recruited the envoy! The king's army came from afar and worked hard all the way to the despise country. The humble man was ordered by his father to wait for 50,000 yuan in money, offered 100,000 hu of grain, and 3,000 pizza of cattle and sheep to reward the soldiers of the royal army.
Wan Wangdu recruitment envoy and deputy recruitment envoys are not too meager, and when the two arrive in Chengdu, my father will also give them generous gifts!"
In the hall of the prefecture office, Xia Luqi, who was sitting in the head, saw Wang Chengban, the son of the powerful minister of Shu Kingdom, bowing and shouting. His first reaction was to dig his ears and wonder if he had heard it wrong... Our Wei army entered Shu to annex your territory and destroy your country. If you were afraid, you would surrender early, but you were still guarding Mianzhu Pass, but you came over to bring food and drink to the enemy... What is the reason for this!?
Xia Luqi glanced at him. He saw that there were more than a dozen followers kneeling behind Wang Chengban, holding a box in his hand, and didn't know what was inside. It was supposed to be gold, silver and jewelry sent by Wang Zongbi to curry favor with the chief general of the Wei army... Xia Luqi and Xu Cun looked at each other, suddenly snorted coldly, and shouted sternly:
"It's mysterious! If Wang Zongbi is afraid of our army and is greedy and timid in the fight, he will open Mianzhu Pass early and come to ask for surrender. Why should he instruct you to offer money and food? Even if he intends to use a delaying strategy, he still thinks he can deceive me?
Even if you father and son come to the mountains of gold and silver, what will you do? If you refuse to give up Mianzhu Pass, our army will fight! If you want to save your life, lead the soldiers and civilians and open the door to surrender. Otherwise, if you still have to be stubborn, you will be burned on the day of the pass, and there will be no room for negotiation!"
Xia Luqi has been through the killing formation for a long time, and he immediately exuded a sense of evil spirit. Although Wang Chengban is the eldest son of Wang Zongbi, a powerful minister of Shu Kingdom, he is better at writing lyrics, and his rhetoric is gorgeous and his lyrics are very bright. People say that he is following the path of Wen Tingyun, the founder of the Huajian School... So when he heard Xia Luqi roaring loudly, Wang Chengban felt his head buzzing, and he hurriedly said:
"The Lord of the Dukes Rong! My father really did not want to be an enemy of the King's Army. He had already left Mianzhu Pass to Chengdu. In order to persuade the Lord of Shu to surrender to the King of the Kingdom, he was not in charge of the pass and decided not to neglect the generals of the King's Army... In order to show sincerity, my father instructed him to be humble and specially presented these objects to the Lord of the Dukes..."
After Wang Chengban said that, he winked, and asked the followers behind him to hold the boxes they held, and took small steps with their hips. They placed them in front of the table in the hall one by one, and opened them one by one... Xia Luqi and Xu Cun looked down, but his expression immediately fell...
Because those boxes were clearly heads. And just a brief look, I saw that the heads were cleaned and washed, and they were not bloody, and they could basically identify the appearance of these dead heads. However, the pale faces still seemed to struggle, and the expression of fear was frozen between the eyebrows, and more than half of them had beards, and their faces seemed to be more feminine, and they looked like they were all eunuchs who had been in power.
When Xu Cun was still named Wang Zongbo, he had served in Shu Kingdom after all, so he looked around the heads and immediately touched Xia Luqi's ear and told him in a low voice... Xia Luqi nodded first, then raised his head with a calm face. He stared at Wang Chengban and said coldly:
"What did Wang Zongbi mean? What I want is the surrender letter from the Emperor of Shu, and then quickly open Mianzhu Pass, and our army entered Chengdu... But he cut down some powerful officials of Shu and ministers' heads, and he planned to seek merit and reward from our court?"
Wang Chengban glanced through the boxes in front of him, and there was a hint of disgust that made him feel angry. He then bowed his head and said:
"My father advised the Lord of Shu to surrender to the Shang Kingdom, but Chengdu Yin Han Zhao, Privy Councilor Song Guangsi, the regular attendant of Jing Runcheng, and the inner servant Ouyang Huang... After his ministers were out of reach, they still tried to prevent the Lord of Shu to surrender. My father arrested and killed all those people. Isn't this a sign of sincerity to serve the Lord of Shu?
However... the Lord of Shu was the emperor of a country after all, and he would inevitably be reluctant to give up the country like this. When Li Yan and Li Shaoqing were sent to a despicable country, they were with the kings and ministers of Shu. He told the prosperity of the Great Wei country, and the Lord of Shu was very surprised and admired him... If Li Shaoqing was willing to go to Chengdu to comfort him, the Lord of Shu would no longer hesitate and would rather surrender to the superior country.
As for my father... the upper country took Shu and merged the two rivers. My father knew the current affairs, so he was willing to clear away the rebel ministers who did not adapt to the current situation. He did not dare to seek credit, but this is a good idea. Therefore, he hoped that the capital would recruit envoys, and the deputy envoys would take care of him and say more to His Majesty... My father had no other requests, but he only wanted to stay as the governor of the West Sichuan in Jiannan, forever, and be a barrier to the southwest of the Heavenly Dynasty!"
