20. Cui Ning recommends Li Sheng

Zitong is the reason why Dongchuan Jiedushi is located between the Zhongjiang River and the Fu River. It is two natural steep moats. In addition, there are copper or salt wells in the territory, which is an extremely important military town.

When he saw Zhang Yanshang coming from the desert, Wu Mian was shocked. He had already lit up five thousand troops and prepared to go to Fengtian City to fight for the king with Zhang.

As a result, the Xichuan Jiedushi, who had an elite force of 20,000 to 30,000, has only 10 or 20 people left.

After Zhang Yanshang sat down, he said to Wu Mian that the Xishan Army rebelled and attacked the capital of Shu. I want to borrow your troops to take it back.

"Will this report be reported to the court first?" Wu Mian was extremely worried because Dongchuan's military power had always been inferior to Xichuan. If Zhang Yanshen made such a move, it would be embarrassing.

"Don't report to the court!" Zhang Yanshang hurriedly denied that he knew that even if Li Shi in Fengtian City knew about this, 80% would still ask Wei Gao and Gao Yue to help quell the rebellion. Wouldn't that open the door to invite thieves?

Now Zhang Yanshang is in a panic, and he remembers that his youngest daughter Bisheng was also trapped in Shu Capital, and he can't help but sigh.

Before negotiations, a large number of officials appeared outside the Dongchuan soldiers reported urgently that in the direction of Langzhou, there were a large number of officials.

"What!" Zhang Yanshang and Wu Mian were shocked at the same time.

"What kind of flag is the other party fighting?" Zhang Yanshang asked hurriedly.

The answer was that the other side had about 10,000 people in size, and most of them were cavalry. One military flag was the black and white Pixiu flag and the other military flag was the big black sealed flag.

Now Zhang Yanshang is gritting his teeth.

The black and white Pixiu flag is naturally from Gaoyue Baicao Army, while the "Fengxi" of Dahei Fengxi is a big wild boar. The ancestor Da Peng family recognized by Wei Gao was the Shiwei Kingdom. The country is also famous for its good shepherd and raising wild boars, so the seal pattern is painted on the Fengyi Military Gate Banner.

"How did they arrive all the way to Zizhou?" Zhang Yanshang and Wu Mian were the most frightened by this question.

The truth is very simple:

After meeting with Gao Yue, Wei Gao obtained food from Sanquan Military Academy, but did not take the road from Lizhou to Jianmen Pass. Instead, he crossed Micang Mountain and entered and exited Micang Road. Taking advantage of the name of Banan's observation, Yan Zhen was unobstructed in the states of Banan. He took Jiameng Pass and Langzhong all the way, and then forced the flood to fly directly under Zitong City.

Outside Zitong City, Wu Mian and Zhang Yanshang gathered thousands of Dongchuan soldiers to form a formation. After taking off the horse, Zhang Yanshang saw Wei Gao, who was under the Dahei Fengfeng, and was smoking from seven orifices. He pointed at Wei Gao and shouted: "Why is Wei Lang like this!"

Wei Gao did not answer directly, but just shouted: "Zhang Yan, the governor of Xichuan, promoted the unfairness of the subordinates, and caused chaos in the war. Since he was lost to the capital of Shu, he could return to the court to apologize!"

"You can go back to the court to apologize!" The Fengyi army behind Wei Gao and the Baicao Army soldiers responded in unison.

Zhang Yanshang was so angry that he almost fell down immediately, and shouted: "I want to report to Your Majesty, and count you and Gao Yue for taking advantage of the situation to rob."

Wei Gao sneered a few times, and did not respond, and directly pulled his horse back to his formation.

"Father, in the current situation, it is better to make peace with Chengwu as soon as possible and restore Shu capital together." Zhang Hongjing hurriedly suggested.

"It's ridiculous. Now Wei Gao and Gao Yue Fei's soldiers are here for the flags of Shu Capital and Xichuan. As the saying goes, the crime of possessing a treasure, do you understand?"

In the next three days, Wei Gao neither walked nor entered, but blocked Zitong City.

Zhang Yanshang and Wu Mian sent several post letters to Fengtian City to ask the emperor to arbitrate, but they were all stopped - now the passage between Shu and Xingyuan Mansion, namely the Jinniu Road, the Micang Road and the Litchi Road, were all sealed by Wei Gao and Gao Yue's troops, and Zhang Yanshang's message could not even cross the Micang Mountain, let alone the Qinling Mountains.

Almost desperate, Zhang Yanshang called his son Hongjing and said to him: "It is a shame to lose Shu Capital City. If Wei Gao and Gao Yue are allowed to speak nonsense in Fengtian City and make my slander, then I might as well die! You can walk the waterway of the Three Gorges and go to Fengtian City."

Zhang Hongjing cried and knelt in front of his father, saying how could this be possible? I took the water route. Even if I went to Jiangling Prefecture in Jingnan and went to Fengtian City, I would have no choice but to walk on the Jin Road, Wuguan Road, or Xingyuan Road.

After hearing this, Zhang Yanshang's face turned pale and almost vomited old blood. He covered his heart and said hatefully, "For a moment of negligence, let Wei Gao and Gao Yue become famous and profitable." Then Zhang Yanshang lay on the couch and looked up at the sky with a tyrant: "Saint Lord, now it is moved to Fengtian City, and the road to tribute is in the hands of the treacherous ministers around him. I can't share my worries. It's really a death sentence!"

As a result, before Zhang Yanshang's lyrics ended, he got the latest news:

Just as Wei Gao was monitoring Zitong City, Gao Yue led three thousand Baicao Army, exited from Jiameng Pass, bypassed Jianmen Pass, and arrived at Lutou Shu, the gate of Shu Capital, Wang Shengluan's troops stationed in Neil immediately opened the gate of the pass and approached Gao Yue's entry.

Now Gao Yue has arrived in the north of Shu capital and is "discussing" matters with the Xishan Army to eliminate the rebellion.

"Ah puff!" Zhang Yanshang really vomited blood, dyeing the purple robe in front of him, which scared Zhang Hongjing so much that he hurriedly wiped his father with tears.

"The white grass thief, the righteous thief, and the Western thief are all birds of a feather..." Zhang Yanshang hated her.

In the lobby of Fengtian City Bell Tower, Emperor Li Shi was stunned and looked at the commander of the White Grass Army, Wei Ping, who was visiting the steps. This man had already come with Wei Gao and Gao Yue's memorial.

"The West Sichuan soldiers are in chaos?" Li Shi hurriedly unfolded the memorial, "Wei Qing, Gao Qing are quickly leading his troops into Shu to quell the rebellion..."

All the ministers in the hall were so beautiful.

In this difficult time, the imperial court also needs money and silk from Shu in addition to the rice and grain transported to the southeast by Shangjin Road.

"When you came, what happened to Zhang Yanshang?" the emperor asked hurriedly.

Wei Ping replied, don't know.

Zheng Zhi, a Hanlin scholar beside the emperor, looked pale and was obviously very worried about the safety of his father-in-law and his wife. Tears were about to flow down. However, as a bachelor serving the Holy Lord, his duties did not allow him to react in any extreme way.

Zheng Xi closed his eyes tightly and did not move at all, but his hands grabbed the knees and thighs tightly, and he almost pinched and bleeding.

"You can go and find out the news again." The emperor hurriedly ordered Wei Ping to say.

A few days later, Cui Ning came to Fengtian City in person and met the emperor.

"Can Pushe enter Sichuan urgently to appease the military situation?" The emperor almost asked Cui Ning to begging.

Who would have thought Cui Ning was generous in resigning: "I was originally the governor of Xichuan, but now because of the chaos of the war, I will return to the old place to the old place. It is simply like saying that the flag can be given privately, which may even damage the prestige of the Holy Lord. According to my opinion, the Dutuan envoys from Fengxing and Xingyuan have entered Sichuan, and the situation may not continue to deteriorate. In addition, Your Majesty can choose another general with prestige to go to Xichuan."

"I am impressed by your public intention. I don't know who Pushe will choose?" At this time, Li Shi really agreed to everything.

Cui Ning said Li Sheng's name without thinking.

"But Li Liangqi is on the Dongwei Bridge in Chang'an City and cannot go to the capital of Shu."

"It's okay, Your Majesty immediately issued an edict to the Xishan Army of Shu Capital. As long as Li Sheng is declared as the commander of the Jieshi, the army will be convinced. Choose one or two more to stay for the rear, eliminate the chaos, and after the revival of Chang'an City, it will not be too late to let Li Liangqi go to the Xichuan."
