Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 60 Convince Han Lingkun

Chapter 60 Convince Han Lingkun

Luo Youdu was also dumbfounded at the beginning by Zhao Jizha's shocking operation.

After thinking about it carefully, I noticed some clues.

Meng Chang's evaluation of him in history is the same as that of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty.

When he succeeded to the throne, the situation was even worse than that of Guo Rong. The arrogant soldiers left behind by his father hardly took Meng Chang, the little emperor, seriously.

Meng Chang pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger. In just a few months, he killed the generals Li Renhan and Zhang Ye, forced Li Zhao to retire, and punished Yuandi.Then observe the people's sentiments, enlighten politics, and even imitate the Tang Dynasty, and set up a letter, that is, a suggestion box, in the court hall to collect the opinions of the people.

At that time, there were many wars in the Central Plains, and Shu was relatively peaceful, and countless talents and refugees poured into Shu.And Meng Chang seized this opportunity to persuade peasants to pay for punishment, promote culture and education, diligently seek governance, and rest with the people, so that Shu became the two paradises of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms and the Southern Tang Dynasty.

But just like a saying, how wise the early stage is, how absurd the middle and late stages are.

Perhaps because of the peace of the country and the peace of the people, the tranquility of the surroundings gradually weakened Meng Chang's ambitions, so that the monarch and his ministers were extravagant.

In order to consolidate his power, he expelled all the capable old officials from the previous dynasty, and replaced them with a group of incompetent people. Glass.Shark silk tents, sapphire pillows, and ice mats stacked with quilts, all sound extravagant.

All his concubine expenses were paid by the treasury, and the treasury was completely wiped out.

Because the scale of this Western Expedition was small, Luo Youdu couldn't remember the details, but he only remembered that the economy of Shu Kingdom collapsed due to this battle.Unable to even take out copper coins, they began to confiscate the iron utensils in the hands of the people and use iron to make money, which brought the people in the territory back to the pre-Qin iron-free era, suffering unspeakably.

The scale of this battle is small, it does not take long, but the economy collapses.

What does this mean?
It shows that the economy of the State of Shu was already full of holes, and Guo Rong's Western Expedition became the last straw that crushed the economy of the State of Shu.

With this history in mind, go back and think about it.

There is a reason why Zhao Jizha wanted to grow grain in front of the army.

It wasn't that he wanted to, or that he was stupid, but that the rear simply couldn't get enough rations and salaries to sustain the campaign, so they had to figure out their own way.

Luo Youdu said: "That's why I thought Zhao Jizha had no choice but to stockpile food before the battle. Of course..." When he said this, he suddenly smiled: "Don't ask me to explain why he brought beautiful prostitutes into the battle, I really want this There is no reason to excuse him."

Han Lingkun couldn't help laughing out loud: "So everything makes sense, and Supervisor Xie Luo will explain it to me."

Luo Youdu was about to speak, when a few drops of rain fell on his face, he looked up at the sky, and suddenly said: "No wonder it's so stuffy, the mosquitoes are gathering in the big tent, so it's going to rain."

Han Lingkun felt a little regretful, and said: "Then I will leave first. Dujian and Guohua should go back too. This spring rain is the most likely to make people sick."

He turned and left, walked a hundred steps forward, and suddenly thought of whether the food and grass in the military camp had been properly protected from rain, especially the few warehouses of corn by the river. The water level rises.

God knows how long it will rain once it rains.

He had a steady temper, and with this in mind, he turned around again.

Luo Youdu regretted secretly, originally wanted to have a chat with Han Lingkun, and get closer to each other again, but he didn't want God to open his eyes, and it was raining at this time.

However, this bit of spring rain mixed with the breeze really brought a little bit of coolness to this sultry night.

Before the heavy rain came, Luo Youdu let the drizzle blow on his face, feeling a bit like his hometown.

There is no snow all year round in his hometown, and when the rainy season comes, it will inevitably rain.

Because the sun may be shining brightly 5 minutes ago, but 5 minutes later it may rain heavily, and after another 5 minutes, the sun will come out again and the rain will stop, which can be repeated several times.

Commonly known as the sun pee.

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a figure, and Luo Youdu said to Cao Bin solemnly: "If my deduction is correct, from Zhao Jizha's point of view, is there nothing wrong with him planting grain before the battle?"

Cao Bin didn't know why, and replied honestly: "Yes!"

Luo Youdu continued: "Is there anything wrong with Han Jixun? His decision-making is also right. The food and grass in Weiwu City are not enough, so he first built a camp on Chencang Road to prevent us from cutting off its food road. Weiwu City is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and he is not willing to stick to it." Bazhai, it is correct to want to return to Mighty City! The two of them may not be regarded as outstanding people, but there are no mistakes in decision-making! But in our eyes, they are full of flaws, why?"

Cao Bin tentatively asked, "Civil and military disharmony?"

Luo Youdu nodded and said: "That's right. Zhao Jizha looked down on Han Jixun as a reckless man, and he didn't even bother to make friends with him, let alone talk about the economic collapse in the rear area, arrogant and arrogant. Han Jixun is also unwilling to give in, and probably thinks that Zhao Jizha will only talk on paper. , scolding him for not understanding military affairs, commanding indiscriminately. Prejudice and contradictions have accumulated and deepened, which also gave us a huge opportunity. If Zhao Jizha explained the reason at the beginning, or Han Jixun took a step back, the situation would be very different. Don’t be a little bit, To do things for people, this place must be broad, inclusive of all rivers and rivers, and have the capacity to accommodate people.”

As he spoke, he hammered Cao Bin's chest, and said: "Don't ruin the state affairs because of personal conflicts... Rest early!"

Luo Youdu waved his hand and walked towards his tent.

It doesn't matter if you can do it or not, you will still say it.

Cao Bin bowed and said, "Bin has been taught!"

In the dark, Han Lingkun sighed guiltily: "Luo Dujian is magnanimous, which is heartbreaking."

From then on, Han Lingkun grew closer to Luo Youdu because of his admiration.

As time entered the rainy season, light rain continued.

Zhao Jizha and Han Jixun finally ushered in the most intense conflict.

Han Jixun, who is used to enjoying himself, couldn't stand the harsh environment brought by the rainy day. Thinking of Zhao Jizha enjoying his beautiful wife and concubine in Weiwu City, while he himself had to suffer at the front line, his suppressed anger reached its peak, and he ran to Weiwu City in person. The city demanded to withdraw the troops back to the city.

And Zhao Jizha was just as Luo Youdu expected, he looked down on Han Jixun at all, and he didn't want to tell about the economic situation of Shu.He was worried that Han Jixun's mouth would not be strict and let Zhou Jun find out, and he was also worried that Han Jixun would rebel when he knew the situation, and he would not let go.

The two were at war, and Zhao Jizha relied on the thousand guards Meng Chang gave him to force Han Jixun back to the village.

The army panicked.

Zhou Jun, who had been holding back all this time, took advantage of this moment and really launched an attack.

The fierce general Zhang Jianxiong of the Zhou army took the lead and broke through the four strongholds of the Shu army in one breath.

The combat effectiveness of the soldiers on both sides is not at the same level, and the morale is even more different. The Shu army can't resist it at all.

Han Jixun could only lead the defeated soldiers to retreat while fighting, and sent people to Weiwu City to ask for rescue.

What Han Jixun didn't expect was that the boastful Zhao Jizha ran away...abandoning the mighty city and his beautiful wife and concubine, and went straight to Chengdu.
