Luo Youdu looked at the fortified city built along the Yangtze River in front of him and said: "They say that Western Shu is a peaceful place, and that's true!"
The structure of Chungju Fortress is simple and not complicated.
But it lies between mountains and rivers, with the rolling Yangtze River on one side and unknown mountains on the other. The city is like a pass, with only two narrow gates on the east and west.
Given the terrain, it would take a lot of effort to get around Chungju.
I am afraid that the local people may not recognize all of these rolling mountains. Only the local Ba people can really know the direction and come and go freely.
The terms negotiated with Ba Min came to mind, and the corners of Luo Youdu's lips could not help but curl up slightly. Meng Chang was such a good person and he had done him a great favor.
Meng Chang made the entire Shu area a mess.
The people at the foot of the mountain are suffering, and the people on the mountain are suffering even more.
They could not survive and rebelled, but Meng Chang did not allow the circulation of iron tools among the people for the sake of money for casting iron, which directly led to no room for rebellion.
The Ba people had a small number of people, and they had no weapons and could not defeat the Shu soldiers with only bamboo sticks.
Several rebellions came to nothing.
Luo Youdu sent Zhao Jizha to contact the Ba people in the mountains, thinking that he would have to pay a certain price to convince them to cooperate.
As a result, their condition is just one bite...
It turned out that after Meng Chang learned that the Central Plains were marching south to Jinghu, he had already realized that Luo Youdu was embarking on the great cause of unifying the south.
Meng Chang's spirit has long been corrupted, but his talent is still there. He is unwilling to resist the Central Plains because he knows that he cannot resist, but he will not sit still and wait for death.
After all, even if the Meng family's power cannot be defended, they still have to resist a little or two, so as not to give it away with nothing.
After the incident in Jingnan, Meng Chang had secretly stored grain.
Because of Meng Chang's extravagance, many people in Shu were unwilling to farm. Instead, they cut down rare trees and transported regular stones to build Meng Chang's palace in order to deduct taxes, resulting in insufficient food production.
Meng Chang's actions caused a shortage of food in Shu.
The Ba people also grow grain in the mountains, but the land in the mountains is mostly rocky, and the grain yield is extremely low, which cannot meet the daily needs of the Ba people.
Faced with this situation, in the past, they could exchange furs and animal sinews with the people down the mountain. Now the Ba people can't buy food, so they can only survive by going down the mountain to rob and go up the mountain to hunt.
One winter passed, and the Ba people almost emptied their stored grain, and even ate all the grain they planted.
If Luo Youdu hadn't come to visit, the Ba people would have already begun planning to attack the village.
In this case, the requirements of the Ba people near Daba Mountain are very simple. As long as they are given food, they are willing to sacrifice their lives.
Faced with such a situation, Luo Youdu naturally generously bought people's hearts and temporarily recruited them under his command.
"Count the time!"
Luo Youdu looked at the sky, "There should be a fight in Yuzhou City now!"
Han Wei naturally knew Luo Youdu's full plan and said: "It's almost time, but I don't know how well Yuzhou is prepared?"
Chungju Seoseong.
When Shi F learned that the food had been safely delivered, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. Could it be that he was thinking to himself: "Is it really that I am too worried?"
At this time, Fan Yuguo received a message from Meng Xuan about the bean ox and asked him to pay more attention to Shi Fang. Still afraid of the battle, he took away his military power, which also showed that there was really no one in the court who could use him.
Fan Yuyou had been paying attention to Shi Fang's movements. When he saw that he was conscientiously reinforcing Zhongzhou's defense line, he couldn't help but ask himself: "Have I misunderstood Shi Fang?"
At this time, seeing Shi Heng safely delivering the food, Fan Yu said quietly: "I think the bandits in the mountains are just a small group, and they were taken advantage of by their carelessness before. And the food is ready, the general should concentrate on dealing with the people below the city."
Thief soldiers."
He didn't want the two of them to get too tense. After all, he was just a weak scholar, and it was Shi F who really went up to the city wall to resist the enemy.
Shi F nodded. He had the same idea. Since it couldn't be changed, he could only stick to Zhongzhou.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Li Yong striding over. His face changed slightly and he said, "Why are the defense envoys here?"
Li Yong said: "There is insufficient food in Zhongzhou, and there are rebels and traitors along the way. The general will not dare to be careless, so he specially mobilizes troops and horses.
I personally delivered the food. Perhaps because our army is so powerful, the rebels do not dare to attack. The general is still thinking of taking advantage of this opportunity to gain some merit."
Because everything was fine, Li Yong's words were a little frivolous.
Shi F's face instantly turned pale.
"not good!"
After Li Yong was the general, his ancestor was Ji Han's second Bendao-level chewer Zheng Zheng, who had always been the general of Shu.
In the past dynasties, a few outstanding talents occasionally emerged to keep the family alive.
Li Yong may not be a big deal in the Central Plains, but he still has a place in Shu where talents are withering.
Shi Fang confidently led his troops to Zhongzhou because Li Yong was in charge at the rear.
Shi F said in a trembling voice: "The target of the thieves is not grain and grass, but Yuzhou... The defense envoys came to transport grain, have they considered that Yuzhou is defenseless?"
Li Yong panicked for a moment and said hurriedly: "I, I'll go back right now, I'll go back right now!"
He knew what the fall of Yuzhou meant.
They were trapped in Zhongzhou like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and after Yuzhou, there was Chengdu.
Li Yong is not a mediocre person, but he is inexperienced and only cares about the present and neglects what is behind him.
But actually the result is the same.
If Li Yong does not leave the city, the food team will be attacked.
Soldiers have no constant momentum, and water has no constant shape.
Luo Youdu never makes only one-sided plans.
The leader of the Ba tribe, Miao Bing, was a capable man. Looking at Zhao Jizha who looked like a dead dog, uukanshu.com www.uukanshu.com showed a trace of disdain in the corners of his eyes.
This is really not to blame for Zhao Jizha's incompetence. In fact, as a scholar, his ability to cross mountains is really incomparable to that of the Ba people who live in the mountains all year round.
Along the way, Zhao Jizha was supported and carried by the Ba people until he got to where he is today.
Miao Bing looked at the Shu soldiers not far away and said: "This is where they are logging. We can pretend to be commoners, blend into the crowd, and pretend to be laborers to enter Yuzhou."
Miao Bing said and sighed: "Luo Tianzi is indeed worthy of the name of Xiao Zhuge, and he knows things like a god."
Zhao Jizha regained a little strength, came to Miao Bing's side, and said: "Brother Miao, please take a step to speak."
Naturally, Miao Bing was not afraid of Zhao Jizha, who was powerless. He waved his hand and told the guards beside him to move away.
Zhao Jizha said: "With Brother Miao's bravery and His Majesty's calculations, it is not difficult to win Yuzhou. What is difficult is what will happen to your department after we win Yuzhou!"
Miao Bing's heart trembled, a trace of greed and a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, he stared at Zhao Jizha and said, "What do you mean by Mr. Zhao's words?"
Zhao Jizha faced Miao Bing without fear and said: "Your Majesty has given Brother Miao two options to attack Yuzhou City, and the people will not commit any crimes. He will remember your great achievements and reward you with a lot of money and food. You will also be in Yuzhou.
, places like Chengdu will reward you with fields for farming. Your Majesty is a man of great ambition and will not treat you badly just because you are from Ba. He will treat you equally."
"The other way is that you have evil intentions and plundered Yuzhou. Then the farther you run, the better. His Majesty said it himself. You can defeat him on the battlefield. Even if you destroy his 200,000 troops, he
I won’t blame you, I just think you are incompetent. But you want to take action against the helpless people. In the next twenty years, he will send a good general to fight you until death."
"How to choose, Brother Miao decides for himself."
