Li Xiang couldn't change this situation. He couldn't stop those people from mocking him casually. The only thing he could do was to escape from that place.
If you can't change others, then change yourself!
You can only bear these hardships silently. No one listens to his explanation. If you explain again, in the eyes of everyone, you are the so-called Badi. This title seems to have been branded on them, the descendants of the Ba people.
He was always indignant about this.
We are all citizens of the Jin Dynasty, why do we have to distinguish between high and low?
Moreover, the distinction between high and low is not based on status or title, but based on place of birth. What a shame!
After hearing Luo Shang's latest order to expel their refugees, the grievances that had been suppressed for a long time exploded instantly like a volcano erupting.
It was your court that moved us to Lueyang, not our Li family or us Ba people who wanted to go to that barren land.
Our Li family and even the Ba people who follow our Li family have been working hard and contributing to the court and guarding the court for so many years. Why did they end up in such a situation?
Being mocked by everyone as Badi?
After finally escaping back to his homeland, he had to be forcibly evicted again?
We have just made great contributions to the imperial court. We have just put down Zhao Min and their rebellion. Why can't all our hard work be rewarded with the privilege of settling back in the land of Bashu?
Since your court is unkind, don't blame me, Li Xiang, for being unjust!
Even if we face many hardships and dangers, even if we have to escape death, I, Li Xiang, will never let our children return to Lueyang, and I will never let my children be mocked as Ba Di by the world again.
"Dang'er," he made up his mind at this time, and the worry on his face disappeared, replaced by a look of determination, "go and invite Yan Ling, I want to discuss it with Yan Ling again."
"Junhou, we have six victories and Luohou has six defeats." Yan Shi talked in the camp to Li Xiang, Li Yang, the children of the Li family, and the leaders of the various refugee families who came after hearing the news. He had served as the Ling of Shanggui in Yongzhou before, and he was very resourceful. The refugees from Li Xiang on down never called him by his name, but called him Yan Ling.
"We, the refugees, are living in Shu. We cannot survive unless we stay together to stay warm. However, the people of Shu are obsessed with peace and happiness, and they are like a pile of scattered sand with no one to control them. This is the victory of the human heart! This is the first victory."
"The new policy implemented by Marquis Luo offended the nobles in Shu. The civil and military forces of Yizhou and Marquis Luo were at odds with each other. Everyone knew about this. There was a proverb in Shu: "The refugees are okay, but Marquis Luo will kill me." It’s obvious. This is the second victory.”
"Luo Hou was benevolent and unyielding, and his government was too lenient. The civil and military forces in Yizhou did not appreciate his virtues and allowed themselves to be left to their own devices. As a result, the politics and religion were desolate and the military equipment was insufficient. However, the kings and princes were decisive in dealing with affairs. We and the refugees rested day and night, and in our spare time, we diligently increased our military preparations. , this is the third victory.”
"Yizhou has a new defeat. The so-called generals of the defeated army cannot be said to be brave, and the generals of the ruined country cannot survive. But we, the refugees, have taken advantage of the power of the new victory and have high morale. This is the fourth victory."
"The people in Yizhou just want us and other refugees to return home, and do not want to be enemies of us. Their hearts are not firm, their intentions are doubtful, and they have two sides, and they cannot agree on one thing. But we have no other choice but to fight to the death. Road. If we are prepared to attack the opponent but are unprepared, this is the fifth victory."
"As for the sixth victory," Yan Shi pondered for a while, looked at the expectant eyes of everyone, and then slowly said: "The Marquis of Luo was ordered by the King of Qi. Yan heard someone say that because of the King of Hejian, he The first supporter was King Zhao Huangfulun. Although he later changed his mind, he was always afraid of this in his heart, fearing that King Qi and others would turn up his old score. It is said that King Qi and King CD have begun discussions to let King Langya replace He The King of Jian was in charge of the military affairs of the three states of Yongliang and Qin in Chang'an. The King of Hejian was in such a predicament that even if I occupied Yizhou and even Liangzhou, he would not send all his troops to conquer us. His main focus would be on Over there in Shangluo. This is the sixth victory we can rely on."
After hearing Yan Shi's six victories and six defeats, everyone in the tent suddenly burst into laughter.
After Li Xiang laughed, he patted Yan Shi on the shoulder and said with emotion: "Yan Ling is really the reincarnation of Zhang Zifang. The so-called strategizing and decisive victory thousands of miles away, this is what I mean. How can I, Li Xiang, be so talented as Yan Ling?" What a blessing it is to help.”
"Your Majesty is wise and mighty. We, the refugees from Yongqin and Qinzhous, have been able to live in Shu for such a long time because of your Majesty. Without your Majesty, I don't know how many families of refugees like us would be separated from their wives and children, and we would be sold as slaves of the Shu people. He will starve to death on the roadside, and he will be bullied at will by the local tyrants in Shu." Yan Shi praised Li Xiangdao from the bottom of his heart: "The country is picturesque, and only the virtuous live here. The Junhou family are descendants of the royal family of Ba. In the Shang Dynasty, he performed meritorious service during the reign of Emperor Gaozu. In the Zhou Dynasty, when the Ba people were heading south, he went north alone to join Zhou Wu. In the Jin Dynasty, he worked hard in Lueyang for two lifetimes. For the refugees like us, even more It's like reborn parents. With the virtue of a king, he is enough to become the lord of Shu."
"But the Jin Dynasty treated the refugees like me very well." Li Xiang said hesitantly: "We and the refugees left our hometowns. There was no imperial court order to open warehouses for relief, and there was no imperial court order for Liangzhou and Yizhou to accept us. I'm afraid we have already been transformed. A pile of loess on the roadside. Besides, Elder Luohou, you treat me sincerely. I, Li Xiang, can't bear to betray the Jin Dynasty and betray Luohou."
"You don't need to worry about this. Yan has a way to solve your confusion." Yan Shi slightly held his beard under his chin with his right hand and said with a smile.
"Yan Ling, speak quickly."
"At the end of the Shang Dynasty, the world was in chaos due to Wang Jie's reforms. The red eyebrows started in Yanzhou and the green forest started in Jingzhou. Dou Rong saw that the world was in chaos. Since Hexi was far away from the border, he could avoid the war in the Central Plains, so he took the road to Hexi. After arriving in Hexi, Dou Rong made friends with the heroes of the five counties. In the end, the heroes of the five counties decided to nominate one person to lead the five counties in view of the lack of masters in the world. As everyone knows about the subsequent development, Dou Rong later became the leader of the five counties. The five counties took refuge with Emperor Guangwu of the Later Shang Shang Dynasty, and together with Guangwu destroyed Wei Xiao who was dominating Liangzhou, the Dou family became rich and powerful, and eventually became extremely noble in the Later Shang Dynasty."
"The situation we and other refugees are facing now seems different from that of Dou Rong, but it is actually similar. Although the court is temporarily peaceful, from Yan's point of view, King Qi is just like sitting on the crater of a volcano, and will die at any time. With cd The kings in Hejian are strong, and the Central Plains will face successive wars in the future. Yizhou is blocked by Guanshan, and although it is not enough to fight for hegemony, it is more than enough to protect itself. We can follow the story of Dou Rong in the past, recruit heroes from Shu, and jointly recommend the king as the prince. Lord, to protect Shu from the flames of war. In this way, the people of Shu will feel at ease and appreciate the virtues of the king."
In fact, in Yan Shi's heart, there are still some things he wants to say. He thought that in the late Shang Dynasty, due to the war in the Central Plains, residents of various counties fled to other places where there was no war in order to escape the war. The same was true in the late Shang Dynasty. At that time, the imperial court did not force refugees to return to their hometowns, and various states and counties did not force repatriation. Why are we being deported today? Even from the Zhou Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty, several prominent families, such as the Xun family, Chen family, etc., weren't they all refugees in those days?
"Yes, Dad." The burly young man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes standing nearby said after hearing Yan Shi's words: "According to what Yan Ling said, we are not rebelling, but trying to stabilize Shu for the imperial court. When the time comes, the Central Plains If the Holy Lord comes out again, we will be like Dou Rong in the story of Guangwu. This way we will not lose our wealth and honor. He is the Marquis of Luo, just treat him well when the time comes."
"Yes, yes, we are following the story of Dou Rong and Liang Tong, and we are not going against the court. The king is Dou Rong, and we and Yan Ling are Liang Tong and others." When Yan Shi said this to the leaders of the refugees, they all seemed like Suddenly they found the reason to raise troops, and everyone immediately joined in. At this time, everyone's faces were no longer nervous, and some people even looked forward to the scene where they would be as wealthy as Liang Tong.
"Okay!" After Li Xiang pondered for a while, he suddenly raised his head and said loudly: "The Marquis of Luo has no virtue and is causing chaos in Shu. Thanks to everyone's recommendation, I, Li Xiang, will temporarily occupy the position of co-leader. If there is another talented person in the future, I, Li Xiang, will I swear that I will never be greedy for this position, and I will give up the position of co-leader to a talented person just like everyone recommended me today. If you violate this oath, you will be struck by thunder from heaven!
"Okay!" Everyone felt even more at ease when they heard Li Xiang swear such an oath. So everyone in the camp high-fived and vowed to recommend Li Xiangxing as General of the North and Li Yangxing as General of the West.
Historical records: In October of the fourth year of Yongtai, the refugees in the six counties elected Li Xiang as the leader and raised troops to rebel against Mianzhu. Li Xiang first asked Yan Shi to bribe Chen Chen, the Sima of Yizhou, with generous gifts, and asked for a grace period with humble words and generous gifts. Chen Chen was confused by this plan and was unprepared. The refugees made a surprise attack on Chen Chen's army at night. Chen Chen was defeated and killed. The refugees then attacked and plundered various counties, but Luo Shang, the governor of Yizhou, was unable to control them.
What, the refugees are using banners to say that they follow Liang Tong and serve Dou Rong as their master? "In the residence of Marquis Bodaoting, Zhou Xing was sitting on the sofa with a golden sword. When he heard Du Chou talking about the news, his face was confused. How could he still do this?
Damn it, a rebellion is a rebellion. What you say is better than what you sing. It really opened my eyes.
"Liang Tong was worshiped as the prefect of Jiuquan by the Gengshi court, while Dou Rongcai was worshiped as the captain of the Zhangye state. In terms of official position, Dou Rong was incomparable to the prefect of a county. In terms of reputation, Liang Tong also had an excellent reputation. Originally, everyone just started The elected co-leader was Liang Tong instead of Dou Rong, but Liang Tong resolutely backed down, saying that his talents and character were not suitable for being the leader of the five counties, and gave up the position to Dou Rong." Du Chou was obviously not satisfied with this paragraph. I am very familiar with history and explained it to Zhou Xing in detail now.
"Joined recommendation? Tsk!" In Zhou Xing's impression, at least in the ancient history of the world he had seen, except for modern times, people always spoke with their fists big, so he naturally did not believe this nonsense.
What recommendation?
What surrender?
It's all fucking lies. Isn’t the knife the brightest and the fist the loudest?
Under Du Chou's explanation, he understood that the position of captain of a vassal country was equivalent to the military attaches dispatched by colonial countries in vassal countries in modern times in his world.
You are the commander of the army, what do you think, Commander Liang?
Besides, when no one could clearly see the situation back then, the so-called co-owner of the five counties in Hexi was somewhat taking the blame. Dou Rong succeeded later. If he were like Wei Xiao, his body and reputation would be destroyed.
"So, that Liang Tong can be considered upright and upright?" Although he thought so in his heart, he said so in his mouth.
"Yes, Liang Tong later became a famous official in business, and the Liang family was rich and powerful for many generations." When Du Chou talked about this, he couldn't help but yearn for it.
"But according to what you said, Mr. Du, the Gengshi court was destroyed by Red Eyebrow, and Dou Rong, Liang Tong and others did this. Now the Shangluo Jin court is still running smoothly, how dare these refugees do this?"
"There are masters among the refugees." Du Chou shook his head slightly and said: "Although the Jin Dynasty court seems to be calm now, secretly it is turbulent. The refugees have raised this banner, first, to convey it to the court and even other states. The message is that we do not want to rebel, we just want to live in Shu. With the current situation of the court, the best response will definitely not be made in a hurry. This is the time difference that the refugees want to achieve. As long as The imperial court failed to send troops into Shu at the first time, so the refugees could completely capture Jiange Pass. With the natural danger of Jiange Pass, no matter how many foreign troops there are, they will not be afraid."
"But so many people in Shu are living on dry food? It can be said that Chen Chen's defeat was caused by a sneak attack. How could Xin Ran and others be defeated so simply?" Zhou Xing and Du Chou had already received news that the refugees were there. After defeating Chen Chen, he marched into Guanghan and defeated the army assembled by Xin Ran, the prefect of Guanghan. Guanghan County had almost completely fallen into the hands of the refugees.
"This involves the military restructuring during the Taikang period." Du Chou sighed incomprehensibly, thinking that his lord was really ignorant and incompetent. "After Emperor Wu pacified Wudi and unified the world, he thought that the Jin Dynasty After adopting extensive enfeoffment, there will always be good health, so the county soldiers were ordered to be withdrawn. Before this, each county had its own arsenal and would maintain a certain military strength all year round. Not only that, every year during the slack season, the county guards would let Bing Cao led the adult men in the county to conduct military training. The sage said: If you don't teach the people to fight, you are abandoning the people. Emperor Wu's order was opposed by many people, but Emperor Wu still insisted on his own way. Since the sixth year of Taikang, There is only the state army, not the county army, and there will be no military training in the county. In Du's view, if it were not for Emperor Wu's restructuring, how could Qi Wannian have made such a big splash in the Yong and Qin states? . Now the same is true for the refugees here. Yizhou was newly affected by Zhao Min's rebellion, and the state army has never recovered. And the monks and civilians in various counties and counties have not received systematic military training for many years. In this way, in a hurry, it is natural to fight a war It collapses."
After hearing Du Chou's explanation, Zhou Xing fell silent again.
As a person from that world, he understood the approach of Emperor Wu of Jin. In the long history of his world, the self-military power to seize counties, counties, states, and later provinces was politically correct.
As Du Chou said, if a place has its own army, it can naturally maintain its own order and stability. But isn't this the vassalization that was criticized by many people in his world history?
But before he had time to think about it, he heard Du Chou say again: "His Majesty Shijun has been defeated in battles one after another and has ordered men from all over the state to be recruited for military service. At least one man from each household must be sent out. What do you think, my lord?"
Hearing this, Zhou Xing's brows furrowed even more.
In his own mind, his first reaction is naturally that when the country is in trouble, everyone is responsible.
