Chapter 1272

Gongsun Shu is a very outstanding person. In addition to his ambition, he is also talented.

Gongsun Shu used a golden sword in his hand, nicknamed the"Li Di Golden Sword", and was known as the first person in the world in swordsmanship. He once killed the king of Kunyang in Changlepo, Chang'an, and the king of Kai, Wang Fu, in another round.

He was able to fight alone against Liu Xiu's four vanguards without defeat.

Gengshi Emperor Liu Xuan came to the throne and established the Gengshi regime. Heroes raised troops in their respective counties to respond. Zongcheng from Nanyang called himself"General Huya" and invaded Hanzhong; businessman Wang Cen also raised troops in Luoxian County and called himself"General Dinghan". , killed Wang Mang's Yongbu Mu in response to Zong Cheng, and tens of thousands of people gathered together.

When Gongsun Shu heard about it, he sent envoys to meet Zong Cheng and others. Zongcheng waited until Chengdu, where he looted and tyrannized.

Gongsun Shu was disgusted, so he summoned the heroes of the county and said to them:"The whole world is suffering from Wang Mang's new wife. I have missed the Liu family for a long time, so as soon as I heard that the Han general had arrived, I sent people to greet him. Now the people are innocent and women and children are missing." They have all become prisoners, and the people's homes and houses have been burned. These are bandits, not volunteers. I want to protect myself and wait for God. If you are willing to work with me, please stay. If you are not willing, you can Let's go."

The heroes all kowtowed and said they were willing to die.

Gongsun Shu then sent someone to falsely claim that a Han envoy was coming from the east, and ordered Gongsun Shu to temporarily act as the assistant general of the Han Dynasty, the prefect of Shu County, and the Mu Yinshou of Yizhou. He selected more than a thousand elite soldiers to attack Zong Cheng and others eastward. When they reached the capital and grew to thousands of people, they launched an attack on Zongcheng and defeated Zongcheng.

Zongcheng's general Yuan Fu killed Zongcheng and led his troops to surrender to Gongsun Shu.

In the autumn of the second year of Gengshi, Emperor Gengshi sent Li Bao, the Marquis of Zhugong, and Zhang Zhong, the governor of Yizhou, to lead more than 10,000 troops to invade Shu and Han. Relying on the dangerous terrain of Shu and the people's surrender, Gongsun Shu had the will to establish himself as king, so he sent his younger brother Gongsun Hui to defeat Li Bao and Zhang Zhong in Mianzhu and drive them away.

From then on, Gongsun Shuwei shocked Yi County.

Li Xiong, a meritorious officer, told Gongsun:"Now the world is turbulent and restless, and the common people are talking wantonly. The generals have separated themselves thousands of miles away, and the area is ten times that of the past kings Tang and Wu of Zhou. If they can exert their power and virtue to suit the heaven and earth, they can achieve the cause of overlord. Should be Change the name to calm the people."

Gongsun Shu said:"I have also considered it, your words inspired me." So he declared himself the king of Shu.

The land of Shu was fertile and rich, and its military force was strong. Scholars and people from far away came to join the army, and the chiefs of the Qiong, Zeo and other tribes in the southwest came to contribute. Li Xiong said to Gongsun again:"Now there is a famine in Shandong, and the common people are eating each other; they have been massacred by the army, and all the cities have become ruins. The land of Shu is fertile and wild for thousands of miles, and the soil is fertile, and the fruits are grown, even if they are not cultivated. It can fill the stomach. The textile industry of female workers can cover the world with clothes. The precious wood bamboo trunks and the equipment are inexhaustible. There are also the benefits of fish, salt, copper and silver, which can be transported by floating water. To the north Holding Hanzhong, blocking the dangerous points of Bao and Xie; guarding Bajun in the east and refusing to defend the entrance to the pass; the area is thousands of miles away, and there are no less than a million soldiers. When the opportunity is favorable, send troops to expand the territory; if it is unfavorable, hold on and engage in Agriculture. You can go down the Han River to the east to get a glimpse of the Qin land, and follow the river to the south to shake Jing and Yang. It is said that you have all the conditions for success such as the right time and place. Now your reputation as King of Shu has been heard all over the world, but your name has not yet been determined. , people with lofty ideals are doubtful and wait and see, they should take the throne so that people far away can rely on it."

Gongsun said:"The emperor is destined by destiny, how can I afford it?"

Li Xiong said:"The destiny is not fixed. , the common people will follow the capable ones, and the capable ones will take on the mission, what do you have any doubts about!" In

April of the first year of Jianwu Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Gongsun Shu established himself as the emperor, the country was named after his family, he advocated the color white, Jianyuan Longxing. Li Xiong was appointed as the Great Situ, his younger brother Gongsun Guang was appointed as the Great Sima, and Gongsun Hui was appointed as the Great Sikong.

Yizhou was renamed Sili Xiaowei, and Shu County was renamed Chengdu Yin.

At that time, Ren Gui, a native of Yuexun, killed Dayin Meigan, who was appointed by Wang Mang, and occupied the county, and then surrendered to Gongsun Shu.

Gongsun Shu sent General Hou Dan to open Baishui Pass and defend Nanzheng in the north; General Renman went down from Langzhong to Jiangzhou and defended the pass in the east.

So all the land in Yizhou belonged to Gongsun Shu.

After Zhang He introduced the three fierce generals of Ji State, he asked someone to take out the map.

Start discussing with everyone

"The emperor asked us to send troops to attack Ji State, but he did not directly say where we should attack, which gave us a lot of space." Zhang He was not only a general, but also a handsome man.

He had a very long-term vision.

"So our purpose today is not only to tell you that we are going to send troops, but also to discuss where we are going to attack."

"Marshal Zhang, where do you think we should attack?"Lu Zhishen looked at the map in front of him and frowned.

Looking at maps was what he disliked the most.

"Now General Bai Qi is killing the Divine Army, and General Jiang Wei’s Qilin Army will attack from this direction." Zhang He pointed to a place

"General Yang Lin's target is unknown, but the most likely place is this place." Zhang He didn't know the specific place either. He only made guesses based on his feelings and his understanding of the art of war.
