Chapter 573
In Chengdu, the life of the new emperor Liu Dan is not easy. When he first ascended the throne, his father's old and honored ministers were all there. He dared not act too recklessly when he first took the throne.

Following the rebellion of Gan Ning Yu Qianwei and Zhang Lu's rebellion in Bazhong, the old officials of Xun either led the army, or raised food and grass, and stabilized places to leave Chengdu. Liu Dan relaxed a little, but followed Liu Bei's [-] troops into Hanzhong, Liu Dan was so frightened, but fortunately, the Ganning Rebellion and Zhang Lu Rebellion were quickly suppressed, and Liu Bei was also blocked at Jiameng Pass, so he relaxed a little, and then immersed himself in Zhang's gentle hometown.

However, as the Lucheng Army crossed Micang Mountain, the Zhanglu Rebellion broke out again, and Yan Yan's army came back victorious, and Liu Dan was called out from Wenrou Township again.

"Yizhou is gradually stabilizing, why are you bothering me again?"

Liu Dan is not a dude, the reason why Liu Yan let him take the throne is because Liu Zhang is too rich in the Lucheng family, and the third son Liu Mao is weak and sick, so he is not suitable for being the master. Although Liu Dan is a bit of a dude, he has always been very well-behaved in front of Liu Yan .

Now that the power is in the hands and no one is in control, his dandyism is completely exuded.

Important ministers such as Xu Jing, Dong Fu, Zhao Wei, etc. looked at each other, but Yan Yan returned victoriously to reward the meritorious personnel. Get a pension!Also, the Lucheng army who crossed Micang Mountain had to be wiped out, and with so many soldiers in Chengdu, were they transferred to Berkshire to wipe out the Lucheng army, or were they lost to Pang Xi?
Liu Dan got dizzy when he heard that, and waved his hands again and again: "I'm a child, how do I know about important military and political affairs? You can just discuss it and settle it."

In normal times, Dong Fu and the others would be overjoyed when they heard the news, because the entire feudal dynasty was a history of struggles between prime ministers and imperial power.

Now is the time when Yizhou is in danger. Isn't the monarch so stupid a sign of defeat?
Xu Jing remonstrated: "Your Majesty, the transfer of troops must be stamped with jade seals."

Liu Dan waved his hand casually and said: "Isn't it that Pang Xi wants soldiers and military resources? Give him everything, let Yan Yan go to Jiameng Pass, and reward him after he beats Liu Bei. Didn't Deng Xian say that he crossed Micang Mountain? Isn’t there a lot of Lucheng troops? Let him recruit soldiers to conquer, and if he wins, he will avoid the crime. As for those southern barbarians who are about to move, let the prefects of the counties recruit soldiers to solve it themselves, don’t bother me with everything, and retreat.”

Liu Dan's words made all the officials even more chilling, no rewards for meritorious deeds, no punishment for demerits, especially if the prefects of the counties were allowed to fight with their own soldiers, wouldn't that be a scene of the rise of heroes at the end of the Han Dynasty?

After the dynasty was over, Zhao Wei invited Dong Fu into the mansion.

After the two sat down and exchanged pleasantries, Zhao Wei asked, "Brother Mao'an, a few years ago you said: The capital will be in chaos, and Yizhou will have the spirit of the Son of Heaven. Now the spirit of the Son of Heaven will not only last for a few years!"

Dong Fu, whose name is Mao'an, was born in Mianzhu, Guanghan.He traveled less to Taixue, and was as famous as Ren An from his hometown. Both worked with Yang Hou of the same county, and studied prophecy.Returning home to teach, disciples come from afar.Before and after the governor's office was set up ten times, the bus was confiscated three times, and the virtuous Founder, Doctor, and Youdao were all said to be ill.

When Zhao Wei said this, he openly questioned Dong Fu's words. Instead of being angry, Dong Fu said with a smile: "Zhao Taicang, Yizhou has the spirit of the Son of Heaven, but it doesn't mean that the fate of Liu Yan and his son is the spirit of the Son of Heaven. When Wang Mang was in chaos, Nanyang has the spirit of the emperor, Nanyang Liu Xuan and Liu Yan have been famous all over the world, but who would have thought that it was Guangwu ancestor Zhongxing who was called a villager."

The Order of Taicang was Zhao Wei's official position before he entered Shu with Liu Yan. Dong Fu called his former position, which shows that Dong Fu did not regard Zhao Wei as an outsider.

Zhao Wei nodded when he heard the words: "So it's not right to say that Liu Bei may have obtained the Son of Heaven! Liu Bei was born in Lucheng and started in Jinyang, or..."

Zhao Wei suddenly thought of a possibility, maybe Liu Bei is not the right man, but this needs to be confirmed by Dong Fu.

Dong Fu pondered for a while and said: "There is nothing wrong with Liu Bei's deba, but Shu? There are very few people in the north who are good at water, and the land in Shu is full of smog. This time the conquest of Shu may not be determined by one battle."

Zhao Wei's heart was moved when he heard the words, if Liu Bei is not the real son, how can that idiot Liu Dan keep the huge Yizhou? It is still the temptation of Chen Sheng's words: princes, generals, rather have kindness!
Maybe this day is angry with me.

It was the first time that Zhao Wei had ambitions, and while he was calmly discussing the situation in Yizhou with Dong Fu, he was thinking about how to get himself the prefect of Berkshire.

Why Berkshire?
Because there are many wars in Berkshire, only those who have wars will have military achievements, and only those who have military achievements will be able to grab more power.

For a time, people with lofty ideals retreated to the countryside, and all ambitious people were ready to move. The Shu-Han Dynasty, which was created by Liu Yan after several years of high pressure, had only a few months to die.

Berkshire Jiangzhou, now ZQ Leitong and Liu Gui have fled back to Jiangzhou successively. The news of their defeat immediately shocked the whole Jiangzhou.

Chen Shi, the prefect of Bajun, is from Yizhou, and Lei Tong has been stationed in Jiangzhou for a long time, so he knows him very well. After sending people to understand the situation, he and Liu Gui wrote letters to Liu Dan one after another. Let Lei Tong lead the army to suppress the rebellion. If he wins, he will be punished for his achievements, and if he loses, he will be punished with two crimes.

It's okay for Liu Dan to act so foolishly in normal times, but this is a troubled time. After Liu Gui received the imperial edict, he and Lei Tong two thousand women, children, old and weak, urged him to go out of the city to quell the rebellion without any armor, food and grass.

Chen Shi fought against each other, but unfortunately Liu Dan believed in Liu Gui even more. Seeing that Liu Gui was so unreasonable, Chen Shi ordered people to give Lei Tong rations, grass and armor, and at the same time communicated with Zhao Wei and Dong Fu. Under Zhao Wei's instigation, Chen Shi resigned. Unexpectedly, Liu Dan made Chen Shi go away with a big wave of his hand.

Chen Shi left Jiangzhou disheartened.

After Liu Gui made such a fuss, Zhang Yun led 5000 troops to a settlement ten miles outside Jiangzhou City. Liu Gui became the acting prefect of Bajun, so he hurriedly ordered Lei Tong to go out of the city to suppress the rebellion.

After Lei Tong left the city, except for hundreds of private soldiers of his own family, the rest of them were all young, children under fifteen and wounded soldiers, Lei Tong couldn't help but burst into tears.

The left and right persuaded: "Lieutenant, Liu Gui is not benevolent. Don't blame us for being unjust. Liu Gui's army of more than 5000 can't beat a thousand army of the land city. How can the captain use two thousand old and weak to defeat the [-] troops of the army of the land city? It's better to surrender."

"surrender?"

Lei Tong was a little hesitant, fearing that he would be looked down upon by the Lucheng Army if he surrendered without a fight.

The left and right said again: "Lieutenant, I heard that the vanguard this time is Zhang Ren, and the two thousand soldiers under his command are well-armed, and the Lucheng Army is not thin on him!"

Zhang Ren was the first Yizhou local general to surrender to the Lucheng Army. Naturally, he was set up as a benchmark. This is not surprising, and it also shows the Lucheng Army's attitude towards local generals.

Lei Tong thought for a long time, thinking that Jiangzhou could not go back, at least not when Liu Dan stepped down. Since he had nowhere to go, he could only go to join the Lucheng Army.

Zhang He was overjoyed to hear that Lei Tong had led hundreds of elites to vote. He personally received Lei Tong and made him a captain, promising to give him priority in replenishing troops once Jiangzhou was captured.
