Li Mingzhan was the left chief of Shu Kingdom and a close confidant under Situ Che. Li Mingzhan's disagreement made Situ Che frown. In fact, Situ Che also knew that what Li Mingzhan said was very reasonable. However, Hanzhong
The land is indeed very important to the Shu army.
However, Situ Che was not angry about Li Mingzhan, but instead said in a deep voice: "What do you mean is that if Hanzhong is defeated, we will just forget it? You should be very clear about how much we have paid in the battle in Hanzhong.
Are you willing to give up like this?"
"Of course, how can I not know what my dear is worried about? However, all the ministers and officials are clear about how important the land of Hanzhong is. The land of Hanzhong is part of our Yizhou. We occupy it.
In Hanzhong, we will occupy a favorable side in the confrontation between our Shu army and the Zhao army. Even if we cannot go north to attack Zhao State, we will not let the Zhao army go south easily."
"But if the Zhao army is allowed to stand firm in Hanzhong, then it will definitely not be a good thing for our Shu Kingdom! With the foothold of Hanzhong, the Zhao army can hoard a large amount of food and supplies in Hanzhong and can dispatch large troops from Hanzhong at any time.
Our Yizhou takes an offensive, so that our Shu army can only passively defend."
"As for the military system reform, this does not affect any of our hearts. Our Shu army is under the jurisdiction of Yizhou, Ningzhou, Jiaozhou and Jingzhou. This operation is mostly garrisons of Yizhou. The troops from other places still need to be stationed.
Therefore, Lin Aiqing's Privy Pavilion can be restructured from other places first, and then implemented in Yizhou. In addition, these restructurings do not affect any actions of the army." Situ Che said in a narrow voice.[
In fact, Situ Che was already a little regretful at this moment. He regretted fighting against the Han army in the past and wanted to seize the land of Hanzhong from the King of Hanzhong. He not only made him bear the infamy, but also dismantled the entire Southern Alliance. Of course, he did it.
For King Situ Che of Shu, he could abandon all these, as long as he could gain real benefits.
Unfortunately, Situ Che underestimated the cruelty of King Situ Fei of Hanzhong. When he could not defend the land of Hanzhong, he would rather let him fall into the hands of Zhao, a common enemy of all the princes in the south than let him
Get it. In fact, Situ Che now thinks that if he had been with the King of Hanzhong, he might have done the same thing as the other party.
However, these things have happened. Even if they regret it, Situ Che would not complain. Unfortunately, the land of Hanzhong was cheaper than the Zhao army. Of course, if it were other places, the Shu army would be defeated if it was defeated.
But the gains and losses of the land of Hanzhong are very important to Shu Kingdom. Otherwise, he would not have attacked the ally of the King of Hanzhong in the past.
"King, even though that is the case, our Yizhou has no more troops than the Zhao army in Hanzhong. Moreover, if the Zhao army can draw a large army from Yongzhou at any time, then we will continue to be at a disadvantage. Even if we want to fight,
We must also be prepared. Otherwise, it will be very unfavorable to us in a hurry." Li Mingzhan killed him and refused to agree to the current army and fight back in full swing.
Situ Che said in a deep voice: "In fact, the Zhao army in Hanzhong is not as strong as you imagined. The Zhao army headed south from Yongzhou, and the army was fine. That food and supplies were not an easy task, compared to our transportation supplies.
It is even more difficult. These have been discovered by the generals and other generals who returned from Zhe. This is also the shortcomings of the Zhao army in Hanzhong at this moment. It is also because of this that I must attack at this moment. Otherwise, when the Zhao army stabilizes its place,
Continuously transporting food and supplies to the south and hoarding them with Hanzhong is extremely unfavorable to us. If we want to fight back, it will be almost impossible."
"In addition, you also know the system of Zhao's governance of local governments. Wherever we go, tax exemptions have made it impossible for the Zhao army to obtain materials from the local governments in the short term, but also require a lot of expenditure. Especially in Hanzhong, we and Han are both here.
The army's battles and the people's livelihood declined, and the Zhao army needed to spend more. Therefore, this is the most tense period for the Zhao army in Hanzhong. At this moment, the attack is the most suitable time and the time that is most beneficial to us."
Seeing Situ Che say this, Li Mingzhan knew that it would be impossible to persuade his king to give up his actions in Hanzhong. So he turned his eyes to Lin Shiwen and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Lin, you
What about your opinion?”
Lin Shiwen had an extraordinary identity, even if he was not favored by Situ Che. However, what Lin Shiwen generally said was basically reasonable. Even in the Battle of Hanzhong, Lin Shiwen strongly disapproved. Unlike others, others
People disagree because the Shu army attacked the Han army, which would ruin the reputation of the Shu army and the Shu king, destroy the alliance of the southern princes, and allow the Zhao army in the north to take advantage of it. However, Lin Shiwen's views in the past were not these, and the reasons he opposed it
It was because the Shu army could not take over the land of Hanzhong.
As a result, Situ Che did not obey Lin Shiwen's advice and insisted on taking action. The other ministers of Shu Kingdom did not care about Lin Shiwen's opinion. In their opinion, when the Shu army fought against the Han army, the one who won the final victory was naturally his own side. Even if the land in Hanzhong was Hanzhong.
The Han army had a great advantage in the king's land. However, the gap between the Han army and the Shu army was too big. However, with the Zhao army's attack, those upstarts of the Shu army who despised Lin Shiwen had to be serious and serious.
Treat Lin Shiwen.
Hearing Li Mingzhan's inquiry, Lin Shiwen pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "What Lord Li said is that we are worried that we will be defeated by Zhao's army again due to the comparison of strength and logistics issues in Hanzhong. However, I think,
What the king said is also very reasonable. Yes, on the surface, our Shu army is not as strong as the Zhao army. Even if we use the troops that our Yizhou can draw now, it is only a little stronger than the Zhao army in Hanzhong, and it cannot be guaranteed to win.
Zhao Jun.”
"But, as the king said, the logistics transportation of the Zhao army in Hanzhong is more difficult than us, and their governance methods have indeed put a lot of pressure on their logistics. Even if they can replenish some by copying the powerful clans,
However, in the battle between our army and the Han army, these powerful men no longer have much energy."
"However, although the Zhao army's governance method brought them a great logistical burden. But, on the other hand, as long as they persist, the benefits they bring to them will be great. Because they got
The people's hearts can quickly consolidate the place. After the people are benefited and the tribes are destroyed, the land of Hanzhong becomes a stable jurisdiction of the Zhao army. This is also the area that the Zhao army can quickly turn it into its own stable jurisdiction.
The root cause of the land.”
"So, we cannot give Zhao army time, and we cannot give them time to stabilize the place. Otherwise, even if we have the ability to fight back in the future, we will face the support of the powerful Zhao army and the hundreds of thousands of people in Hanzhong. Because we cannot
Give them the same treatment, so these people will definitely follow Zhao's army steadily and support Zhao's army to ensure their current interests. Distribute land, reduce taxes, and unify taxes. For the people and businessmen
, that is extremely generous. In order for these conditions that are conducive to them to continue to maintain, they will definitely fight with us to the death with Zhao army."
"Therefore, if we don't fight, we will be able to defend the border in the future, and we will be pressed by the Zhao army step by step. Once our Shu army encounters abnormal situation, the Zhao army can lead the army southward. In addition, after the Zhao army occupied Hanzhong, it also
It will be extremely unfavorable for us to govern the territory of Yizhou by giving Hanzhong conditions. Unless you and the great tyrants of Yizhou are willing to give everything in your family, just like the Zhao army's rule.
.But I think you don’t want to.”
"In addition to these favorable points and in order to prevent the Zhao army from being strong, our army also has another condition that is beneficial to us, that is, the remaining large clans and tyrants in Hanzhong. These large clans and tyrants are very clear that if the Zhao army commands Hanzhong,
Their fields, their family wealth, their current status and interests will all be lost. Even their lives will be lost. Therefore, they will still stand on our side. As long as we take action, they
We will inevitably cooperate secretly and even respond to us. If we wait until we can launch our army, we are afraid that these powerful families who may become our allies will no longer exist."
Lin Shiwen said that the ministers in the hall thought secretly, and many people were a little afraid, especially those who came from major families. They knew better than anyone else about the system of Zhao State. If the Zhao army went south, their family would no longer exist.
, Their interests no longer exist. The family business they had worked hard to accumulate and grow did not exist anymore. In addition, Lin Shiwen's analysis was very reasonable, so many ministers nodded secretly, agreeing with Lin Shiwen's meaning, and immediately
Send troops to counterattack Hanzhong.
Even Situ Che was surprised that Lin Shiwen immediately agreed with this time. You should know that since he became the King of Shu and inherited the power of King Yong, Lin Shiwen has not cooperated with him so simply. He has never been to him.
In addition to opposing various actions, he was scolding him, and he looked like an elder. This situation was naturally not something that the princes in this place could accept. After all, he was already the King of Shu, not the prince of the past.
.
However, Lin Shiwen's approval and analysis made Situ Che extremely satisfied. Moreover, what Lin Shiwen said was very consistent with what he thought, and even exceeded what he thought.
However, Lin Shiwen did not finish his words, and he continued: "I suggest that we attack immediately. However, if we can win, we will fight. If we cannot win in the short term, we will retreat immediately and not fight the Zhao army in full swing, but try to try to
Destruction was carried out in Hanzhong to hinder the Zhao army's rule over Hanzhong, rather than continuing to fight stalemate. After all, compared with the powerful rear support of the Zhao army, our Shu army has a far inferior foundation. Therefore, we must attack,
And it must be fast. However, you cannot give too much, otherwise we will always be the ones who suffer in the end."[
"Before we fought with the Zhao army, we had fought with the Han army for several months. Not only did we lose troops, but the most important thing is that our food and supplies were also consumed greatly in these months. However, the Zhao army did not, for half a month.
Defeat us. Although they have difficulty in logistics transportation, they are not short of food and grass supplies. Over time, the Zhao army transported more and more food and grass supplies from Yongzhou. This is why we cannot be with the Zhao army for a long time in Hanzhong.
The reason for the battle. We can see the disadvantages of the Zhao army. The Zhao army is not a fool, so we naturally know our shortcomings. Therefore, at this moment, Yongzhou is probably already starting to transport materials to the south."
"On the contrary, although our logistics transportation is not a big problem, what we lack is food and supplies. In the past, we consumed too much, which has caused our food to be in trouble. Now our connection with other princes has been cut off
, It is impossible to obtain food from other princes. This is also the most unfavorable thing for us after the collapse of the princes' alliance. Especially after the great defeat in Hanzhong, this one will become the most battle with the Zhao army.
Heavy losses.”
"In addition, the pensions of soldiers also need to be put on the agenda. The dissatisfaction of the soldiers in Hanzhong's troops is somewhat related to the delay in pensions. The soldiers fought to the death, but after their death, their families were in difficulty, so they naturally complained.
In contrast, the Zhao army's pension system is better than ours. This is also an important reason why the soldiers of Hanzhong are willing to surrender to Zhao. If they surrender to the Zhao army, they will not only be able to protect their lives, but also get their should
The money you get for your life.”
Lin Shiwen's words made all the civil and military officials stunned. They did not expect that although Lin Shiwen agreed to fight, it was not a kind of comprehensive counterattack. Instead, he took advantage of the current difficulties of the Zhao army and counterattacked Hanzhong.
Even if it fails, it will delay Zhao's army's actions to recover local and people's hearts in Hanzhong. However, after Lin Shiwen said this, they felt it was reasonable. Many new officials and generals also formally viewed it at this moment.
It reached Lin Shiwen's extraordinary point.
Not to mention others, even Situ Che began to seriously think about the war with the Shu army. It has to be said that after Lin Shiwen's analysis, Situ Che also believed that Lin Shiwen's verbal reason was the most reasonable thing for the Shu army.
arrange.
"Okay, let's do it as Lin Aiqing said. This operation is not a death-death battle with the Zhao army. In southern Hanzhong, if you can fight, you will fight. Even if you can't, you must let Zhao army law be fully implemented in Hanzhong." In the end, Situ Che was the only one who could do so.
Decided, "Former General Xu Zizhen, you are in charge this time. I hope you can bring different news."
Former General Xu Zizhen looked bitter and could only accept this military order. This task is not an easy task. It is not easy to fight against the Zhao army. Especially when he defeated the Zhao army, it was not easy to win.
In the turmoil of people.
After the court dispersed, Lin Shiwen did not leave, but instead went to meet Situ Che. He told Situ Che bluntly that there might be some inside story about the defeat in Hanzhong.
"Lin Aiqing, what do you mean?" When Situ Che mentioned the defeat of Hanzhong, he frowned. The defeat of Hanzhong was extremely difficult to accept at first sight. It was not just because of the loss of soldiers and generals, but the loss was heavy.
More importantly, the defeat of Hanzhong also made the action plan he had set before was wrong. You should know that before taking action against Hanzhong, most of the ministers below opposed it.
Lin Shiwen said in a deep voice: "King, I suspect that among the generals who fled back, some of them had collusion with the Zhao army or had conspired with the Zhao army."
"What?" Lin Shiwen's words immediately made Situ Che throw other ideas out of the sky, his face turned cold, he suddenly stood up, and asked anxiously. He would have lost face to Hanzhong's defeat. If he could find out the problem,
It is a great news for him to be able to clearly place the responsibility on some people. Of course, more importantly, his generals conspired with Zhao Jun, so that he could tolerate such things
.
Lin Shiwen said in a deep voice: "King, I am also guessing and sure enough. Now, I am just suspicious. I have heard of the generals' rewards before and found that there are many problems. Therefore, I guess that someone should be with me.
The Zhao army conspired, or was forced to conspire with the Zhao army, to defeat Hanzhong. Of course, even if they did not conspire with the Zhao army, in the situation in Hanzhong, we would have a fate of failure."
"Who is the person you are guessing about?" Situ Che ignored the others and just wanted to know who was so brave to collude with Zhao Jun. Situ Che also understood. Lin Shiwen had this guess, so the other party must have it.
A certain problem.
"Jiang Poyun sent Jiang Wenbo to Baishui County to receive reinforcements! According to his report, he went to Baishui County to receive reinforcements. After receiving reinforcements into the city, the Baishui County garrisoned the Zhao army and raided the reinforcements in the city.
The Zhao army can completely defeat the entire army. Logically, if the Zhao army attacks, the entire army of eight thousand reinforcements stationed in the city camps, then the Zhao army will have a considerable force. In addition, the defenders of Baishui County are also
He had already surrendered to the Zhao army, otherwise the news of Baishui County would not have been leaked at all."
"Since that's the case, why can he, a general of Shu army, be the new general of reinforcements, take out the Zhao army's raid alone? Whether he is stationed in the barracks with reinforcements or settled alone in the city, he will become Zhao army and
The primary target of the Baishui County garrison who surrendered to the Zhao army. However, he was fine. The reinforcements from the generals to ordinary soldiers were all gone, and none of them escaped. All the news we received was
It's the narrative from them."
"In addition, Jiang Wenbo's personal guards asked for help from Hanzhong City. Jiang Poyun led the crowd to fight back and prepared to raid Baishui County. He was ambushed by Zhao's army, but a general who escaped found his shortcomings and could even break into heavy troops to rescue them.
General. How can you do this without any problem?"
