Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 433 Begging Mrs. Huarui
Miao Bing hit the pain point, looking at Zhao Jizha with dark eyes, hesitating between killing him or not.

Zhao Jizha was terrified, but thinking of Luo Youdu's advice, he also went all out, and looked at him without fear.

Seeing this, Miao Bing smiled dumbly and said, "Mr. Zhao is so loyal, it doesn't match the rumors!"

Zhao Jizha's heart fell to the ground, and he said, "Brother Miao, have you heard the truth about Nanju and Beizhi? Your majesty is benevolent and heroic. You have not been under his command for a long time, but you can feel the spirit of a hero who achieves great things. My ability is limited, but I am also willing to be a small stone on his way to unify the world."

Miao Bing said with a serious face: "Mr. Zhao, don't underestimate me. Ba people also read Confucius and Mencius, and know loyalty. Our ancestors have also received the favor of Prime Minister Zhuge. The emperor Luo sent food to our Ba people, and his kindness is greater than heaven. , dare not disobey the order of Luo Tianzi."

Zhao Jizha's change terrified Miao Bing.

It is not a skill to reuse a capable person, but it is a different ability to subdue a timid rat.

Miao Bing was indeed in a different state of mind.

Yuzhou is an important defensive place in Mengshu and a storage place for strategic materials.

There must be a lot of luggage in the city. They captured the city, and all the resources in the city are naturally theirs.

He thought of many ways, more than once he thought of grabbing all the supplies into the mountains.

How can Luo Youdu tolerate himself?
But when faced with the real choice, Miao Bing couldn't help but shudder when he heard that Luo Youdu had already made arrangements.

They are not afraid of fighting. There are many mountains in Sichuan and Shu. The Daba Mountains border the Han River in the north, the Yangtze River in the south, and the Han River in the east. .

But they are afraid of consumption, and there is a shortage of materials in the mountains. The Central Plains is about to cut off their exchanges and transactions with the people of Shu, and send a good general to do the consumption.

They really couldn't afford it, especially after Meng Chang's troubles, they were already seriously injured.

Weighing the pros and cons, Miao Bing gave up the immediate benefits.

Choose to believe in the emperor of the Central Plains who can convince even a rat like Zhao Jizha.

"Mr. Zhao is here to wait for my good news!"

Miao Bing made up his mind and immediately arranged a plan to seize the city.

Yuzhou City has been in disrepair for a long time, so a group of laborers in the northwest of Yuzhou City are cutting wood and quarrying stones to repair the city defenses and make logs and stones.

The war situation was urgent, and most of the men and civilians in the city were forcibly recruited, and the number of them was tens of thousands.

There are more than a hundred faces among these tens of thousands of people, and it is almost impossible to know.

Moreover, the Ba people arranged by Miao Bing used to live at the bottom of the mountain, and they fled up the mountain because they couldn't bear the oppression.

They are no different from the Shu people, they can all speak the Shu dialect fluently, and their living habits are almost the same, so there is no difference at all.

Miao Bing made a special arrangement before the battle, repeatedly emphasizing that looting is not allowed when the city is seized.

"In order for the clansmen to live a good life, give me all..."

Miao Bing was the first to attack. He rushed out from the thorn bushes and threw the flying stone in his hand at the overseer's soldiers.

Because Bamin had no iron tools in his early years, Miao Bing practiced flying stones to fight birds in the mountains since he was a child. He always carried flying stones as weapons in battle.

The round flying stone, under the blessing of physical strength, accurately knocked an overseer soldier to the ground.

The corvee people were startled for a moment, then they saw the "Shu soldiers" rushing out from the thorn bushes in the mountain, and then they fled in panic.

They were already full of anger at the forced conquest of the corvee, so they had no intention of working hard.

Naturally, the equipment Luo Youdu gave to the Ba people could not be the treasured sword armor from the Central Plains, but the sword and leather armor captured from the Shu soldiers.

Therefore, the equipment of this group of Ba people is exactly the same as that of Shu soldiers.

A bunch of "insiders" rushed out, the number of supervisors was not many, and the people fled in a mess.

The cowardly overseers of the Shu army also ran away first, and the bold ones wanted to meet the enemy, but they were overwhelmed by the Ba people in a short while.

The soldiers on the Yuzhou city tower saw the chaos outside the city, and the officers and soldiers rushed towards Yuzhou with the people trapped. They were so frightened that they shuddered.

In this case, the guards didn't care about the life and death of the people outside the city.

But just as the soldiers on the tower were about to close the city gate, the Ba people who were transporting timber into the city appeared beside the soldier closing the city gate without making a sound, twisted off the opponent's head with his bare hands, and snatched the weapon from his waist.

There was also chaos under the city tower...

The Ba people had never received orthodox training, nor did they have much combat experience, but when they were cornered, they had the courage to fear death.

However, the State of Shu emphasized civility over military affairs, and there were no officials in the court who were not corrupt, and no generals who did not suck the blood of soldiers.

The soldiers are far inferior to the heroic spirit of the Central Plains soldiers who dare to oppose their own generals.

Insufficient training and insufficient military pay, naturally no soldiers will sacrifice their lives to serve Meng Shu like this.

Lacking effective command and soldiers not fighting hard, Miao Bing took Yuzhou City with little effort.

After taking control of Yuzhou, Miao Bing was even more afraid.

Unknowingly, Yuzhou won, and he didn't even know why it was so easy.

Both of their previous rebellions were extinguished by the Shu soldiers. They knew that the Shu soldiers might not be the opponents of the Central Plains soldiers, but they were no match for them.

There is no doubt that all this is due to the plan of that Luo Tianzi.

Miao Bing asked Zhao Jizha to appease the people, personally restrained the Ba people, sealed up the money and food warehouses, and asked them to observe discipline and not cause trouble at this critical moment.

Li Yong withdrew back to Yuzhou in a hurry, saw that the king's flag had been changed on the tower, his face was blue and white, and he chose to surrender.

Li Yong belongs to the Li family in Jianning, and he has to be responsible for his own family.

Yuzhou fell, and Zhongzhou was attacked from both front and back. It has become fat on the knife board and let the Central Plains slaughter it.

Li Yong didn't intend to be buried with Meng Shu along with his family...

**********
Chengdu Mansion!
Meng Xuanzhe was tired and slumped on the chair, his eyes were lifeless, and the bad things happened one after another.

Under the leadership of Gao Huaide, the Central Plains North Route Army made great strides forward, and the East Route Army also had bad news one after another.

But no amount of bad news can be as fatal as the fall of Yuzhou.
Yuzhou is [-] miles away from Chengdu, but there is no decent place to stick to within these [-] miles.

There is no need to attack Hezhou and Suizhou at all, they can just bypass them and reach Chengdu.

Meng Xuanzhe had no soldiers to use, Wang Zhaoyuan took away the elite Meng Shu had trained over the years, and Shi Kai took away the brave men recruited in the city.

Now they are capturing the best men in the city.

Originally, the age of a strong man was eighteen to forty-five years old, but now it has been changed to fourteen to fifty-five years old.

A group of child soldiers in the barracks kept up with the veterans with gray beard and hair.

Where can these captured strong men be called strong?

The thin ones are like bamboo poles, which can be blown down by the wind.

Meng Xuanzhe knew that recruiting troops like this would provoke anger and resentment, but there was no other way.

Destroy the country and the hearts of the people, always choose one.

"Your Majesty, Gao Xiang outside the palace asks to see you!"

Meng Xuanzhe said weakly: "Please come in!"

Gao Xiang walked into the hall with a bit of arrogance.

Meng Xuanzhe did not show the slightest decadence at this moment. In front of outsiders, he maintained his "emperor" dignity as the lord of Western Shu.

Gao Xiang has not been idle these days, but wanders among the officials of Shu, looking for information about the Central Plains Army while seeing if he can bring some talents to his father.

For the performance of the Shu soldiers, Gao Xiang completely saw it.

The fighting power of the Northern Route Army was crushed by Gao Huaide, and they were completely helpless.

The eastern front is even more suppressed in IQ. It seems that they have not experienced any wars, but they have been pushed to Yuzhou after a closer look.

It is not an exaggeration to describe Meng Shu at this moment as being besieged on all sides and all trees and trees are soldiers.

Gao Xiang felt that it was time, so he went to the door to ask for an interview.

"Master Shu's complexion is not good!"

Gao Xiang still lacks respect for Meng Xuanzhe. Meng Shu's series of performances have made him see through the strength of this decadent "powerful country" in the Southwest, and his contempt is even heavier.

Meng Xuanzhe heard the sarcasm, held back his anger and said, "The second son came to see me, do you have something important to do?"

Gao Xiang said: "Now Shu is short of reinforcements, and it happens that I can ask for reinforcements for the lord of Shu."

Meng Xuanzhe looked very moved, and hurriedly said, "Dali is willing to send troops to help?"

He paused, regained his composure, and said, "Any additional conditions?"

Gao Xiang said: "With the Minjiang River as the boundary, let Dingzhou, Ezhou, Yanzhou, Gongzhou, and Xuezhou be handed over to Dali..."

When Meng Xuanzhe heard the land was cut, he immediately said loudly: "Impossible, it is absolutely impossible for me to cut the land."

Gao Xiang said indifferently: "Then there is no other way, the Central Plains has already reached Yuzhou. The Lord of Shu is counting on the old, weak, sick and disabled recruited from Chengdu to resist the army of the Central Plains, so just wait for the land of Shu to change hands."

Meng Xuanzhe's face was cloudy and cloudy, and his face was extremely ugly. He said: "If the land of Shu is destroyed, Dali can stay out of it?"

Although Gao Xiang is the second generation ancestor, he still has some basic knowledge. He said: "I am in Dali now, and I am in the wilderness of the South. The emperor of the Central Plains will not work and waste energy for a mere Dali. It may be possible in the future, if he does not settle the Khitan Before this powerful enemy, it is not so farsighted. Without enough benefits, it is impossible for my father to agree to send troops."

Meng Xuanzhe glared at Gao Xiang without saying a word.

However, Gao Xiang bewitched: "Dingzhou, Ezhou, Yanzhou, Gongzhou, and Xuezhou are originally located in remote places, and there are many barbarians in the territory, and there are constant rebellions. Compared with the land of Shu, they are nothing but chicken ribs. Food is tasteless and discarded. It's a pity. It's better to let me Dali, in exchange for my Dali to send troops to help."

Facing the current situation, Meng Xuanzhe had nothing to do, so he endured his anger and said: "If Dali helps me to defeat the enemy, I will follow what your son said."

Gao Xiang squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Before leaving Chengdu, I hope that His Majesty the Lord of Shu will give you something generously. If you get it, you will definitely do your best to speak for the Lord of Shu."

Meng Xuanzhe frowned and said, "What is it?"

Gao Xiang uttered four words: "Ms. Huarui!"

Meng Xuanzhe's face suddenly changed, and he shouted angrily: "Presumptuous, bold!"

Mrs. Huarui is his father's imperial concubine...

Ordinary women give it away as long as they give it away. If you give it to a noble concubine, how can the Shu Kingdom save face?
Gao Xiang did not give in, and said: "I have admired Mrs. Huarui for a long time. If I can win Mrs. Dali, it will definitely lead to Dali sending troops, otherwise...even if the Shu Lord ceded Chengdu and gave it to my father, I will not be this lobbyist."
