People in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hu and Han respected together

Chapter 302
The so-called Nanzhong refers to Zangke, Yuexi, Yongchang, Qianwei's vassal states (Zhuti County), and Yizhou County (Jianning County).

Since Emperor Wu defeated the Southwest Yi, he established the five counties of Nanzhong, but the poor mountains and rivers made it difficult to rule.

Later, the imperial court developed the southwest and encouraged the Han people to settle down, so that the five counties of Nanzhong had a ruling foundation.

In the process of gradually developing the Southwest, the Lu family, the Yong family, the Gao family, and the Zhu family emerged... They have made great contributions to the development of the Southwest, but at the same time they are too big to lose, and have become veritable local tyrants.

The Lu family in Yizhou, this lineage is inherited from Lu Buwei, and it is worthy of being a merchant family. They went to Nanzhong to settle in Yongchang County, where they can go to Shendu by crossing Baoshan, and they can make a lot of money by trading.

Of course, this trade route was also coveted by others. The Yong family was inherited from Yong Chi, one of the founding heroes of the Han Dynasty. He was a thorn in the bottom of Liu Bang’s heart. After all, he stole Liu Bang’s hometown and made Liu Bang homeless. However, in order to successfully found the country, this most hated Yong Chi was also named Shifang Hou, and even died well.

During the period of the Three Kingdoms, the chaos in the early stage of the Nanzhong area was that the Yong family of the Yong family, Gao Shi of the Gao family, and Zhu Bao of the Zhu family fought for the territory, and even for the trade road of Yongchang.

In the late stage of chaos in the South Central region, it was Yong Kai, Gao Shi, Zhu Bao and others who were defeated one after another, and Meng Huo took over the banner of the rebellion. Meng Huo came from the Meng family in Yizhou (Jianning), and was also a Han family. He is not a barbarian, but the degree of barbarism is very high.

Even at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in the Nanzhong region, there were still fewer Han people, more barbarians, and more barbarians. These large Han clans, as the foundation of the Han Dynasty’s rule in the Nanzhong region, also had a high prestige among the barbarians and Yi people. Therefore, they later raised their flags to rebel and had many barbarian soldiers under their command.

What Zhuge Liang defeated was not so much the Nanman, but rather the local rebellion launched by the Han clan leading the barbarians and barbarians.

During the process of suppressing the rebellion, Lu Kai of the Lu family made great contributions. He was originally a meritorious Cao of Yongchang, and he was extremely loyal to the Shu Han. Finally, because of his meritorious service, he was named the prefect of Yunnan and Yangqian Tinghou.

In the three counties of Yunnan, Heyongchang, Yuexi, and Yizhou (Jianning), if Lu Kai had not been killed by the rebellious barbarians, then he would be the real King of the South.

Speaking of which, the letter sent by Liu Yan has already arrived at the Yong family, the Gao family, and the Zhu family... Among these families, they promised them high officials, rich salary, gold, silver and precious treasures, as long as they bring barbarians north to defend against the enemy.

But they are not stupid either. Liu Yan saw that the general situation was over. At this time, he brought his private troops to contact Man Shuai and Yi Shuai, and went north to defend against the enemy. It was obviously asking for trouble.

However, Yizhou wanted to change its owner. They decided to gather troops to show their strength. As long as their interests in Nanzhong were not moved, they could stop fighting, but if their interests in Nanzhong were not moved, they would also send troops to fight.

South China is poor and hostile, and there are many barbarians. Most of the Han people who migrated to the south are tenants of the Han clan, so they can survive. However, they also rely on the Han people as tenants, and the Han clan dominates the local area.

But at this time, just one day after Zhang Xiu arrived in Chengdu, Liu Yu, Li Yao, and Beigong Boyu also led the troops to arrive in Chengdu. This time it was not only 7000 people, but this time it was 7 people.

The army was so vast that there was no end in sight. At this moment, Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew, was pleading guilty in front of Li Yao.

Zhang Ji said helplessly:

"General, I sent Youwei's subordinates to yell and curse. I want to force those defenders to go out of the city to fight, behead one or two generals, and completely show off their prestige, but if they don't leave the city, they don't even care about it. It's like punching in an empty space. It's really helpless!"

Hearing this, Beigong Boyu stood up and said loudly:
"Shouldn't fight, ignore it, what else is there to say, reward the three armies, attack the city directly, wait until the heads of Liu Yan and his son are cut off, this time the expedition to Yizhou will be considered a complete victory!"

Li Yao also nodded. After all, for this sake, as long as Chengdu is captured and Liu Yan and his son are captured, the battle will be over. He doesn't think Liu Yan and his son will surrender easily:
"General Cheqi is right. They ignored us, and we ignored them. Immediately build siege equipment, and then directly send troops to attack the city. The first to break the city will have merit, and the one who captures and kills Liu Yan and his son will have merit..."

At this moment, Liu Yu, who was sitting on the main seat, seemed to have a high status, but was actually emptied, stood up and said directly:
"I'm going to persuade Jun Lang, otherwise once the war starts, I don't know how many people will die in the war. However, what is the general going to do with Jun Lang?"

Li Yao heard that in this war, there are good people, that is himself, and there are bad people, that is Liu Yan, he said calmly:

"Kill the imperial envoy, cut off contact with the imperial court, and naturally arrest the imperial court according to the crime of treason, and then deal with it as you like!"

Liu Yu frowned, committing treason... This is too serious and difficult to save, so he can only explain again and again:
"He may have been deceived by others. He definitely did not intend to fight against the imperial court. He never took the initiative to send troops. How can he talk about rebellion?"

Li Yao looked at Liu Yu, and he said in a cold voice:
"Taiwei, are we sending troops to seize territory and power? We are sending troops for the court and for the emperor. No one is planning to rebel, how can we send troops!"

To put it simply, when this war has come to this point, there must always be a scapegoat. Anyway, both Liu Yan and his son will be arrested. Whether they live or die can be discussed again, but the charges must be convicted.

Liu Yu took a deep breath. He was already mentally prepared for Li Yao's shamelessness. What is the court and the emperor? Isn't it for Yizhou or the rich land of Bashu?

But now, what Li Yao said was indeed correct, the court and the Son of Heaven would never be wrong, since they sent troops to attack Liu Yan, then the fault was also on Liu Yan.

Liu Yu gritted his teeth and said:

"The army retreated. I only took Xian Yufu and Xian Yu Yin to persuade Liu Yan to surrender. The city of Chengdu is high and deep. Once a war starts, it will last for a long time, and it will cause too many people to die and be massacred and looted..."

Li Yao already knew something about this holy lady. It was not unreasonable to be defeated by Gongsun Zan. As long as he was in the army, his army would not be able to win.

So he looked at Liu Yu and said:

"Then let the captain try, we won't launch an attack until the siege equipment is built!"

Soon, under the city of Chengdu!
Liu Yu came here in Xianyufu, under the guard of Xianyu Yin, and shouted loudly:
"I'm Liu Yu, Liu Yan come out!"

Seeing Liu Yu, Liu Yan heaved a sigh of relief, pulled himself together, and responded loudly:
"Since it's Bo'an, then come out and meet with me!"
