Tang's dining table

The situation in Shu was far worse than Yunchu expected.

They thought that this area had been incorporated into Guanzhong since the Qin Dynasty. At this time, their living habits and behavioral habits should be no different from those in Guanzhong and the Central Plains.

After entering Shuzhong and constantly meeting people from all walks of life, Yunchu discovered that Shuzhong was Shuzhong, which was different from Guanzhong and the Central Plains.

This difference is not a difference in the general sense of expression, but a fundamental identity, which is different from Guanzhong and Zhongyuan.

Because the people of Shu do not agree that they have the same origin as the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor, but think that they are descended from the Renhuang clan.

Since Pangu, among the descendants of Pangu, the Three Emperors are the three earliest gods. The Emperor of Heaven is the father of the Emperor of the Earth and the grandfather of the Emperor of the People.

The Renhuang clan is the son of the Dihuang clan, the father of the Titing clan, and the ancestor of the people of Shu.

"Shu Zhi" says: Shu became a country because it was the emperor of the people, and it was in the same confinement as Ba. By the time of the Yellow Emperor, his son Changyi married a daughter of the Shushan clan and had a son named Gaoyang, who became Emperor Zhuanxu. He granted his subordinates the title of Hou Bo in his lifetime. During the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, King Wu conquered Zhou, and Shu and Yan. It borders Ba in the east, Yue in the south, Qin in the north, and Yan'eji in the west. The earth is called Tianfu, so its spirits are shining in the wells, and the rivers and rivers follow the flow.

It can be clearly understood from this passage that people in Shu do not think that they have the same origin as Guanzhong and the Central Plains people, but are relatives of the Guanzhong and Central Plains people. They have their own ancestors, and they are older than the Yan and Huang emperors that the Central Plains people think. long time ago.

Moreover, the middle of Shu can be called a land of abundant resources and treasures. In this land, there are endless feudal states and capable and wise men emerge one after another. In addition, there are high mountains and dangerous fortresses all around. Therefore, people often say - burn down the sword pavilion for seven hundred miles. There is a cave in the middle of Shu.

It is because of this sentence that the guard general of Jianmen Pass does not belong to Shu, but Yao Hong, a confidant appointed by the emperor himself.

The reason why Yao Hong wants to trap many Shu officials to death like fishing and law enforcement without any trouble is that he wants to cut himself off from Shu and completely separate himself from Shu.

Since the Qin Dynasty, Shuzhong has been an indispensable territory for the Central Plains Dynasty, and it is also a place where the ambition of the emperor can be achieved. With the help of Shuzhong, Qin was able to defeat the six kingdoms and unify the world.

The Han Dynasty had the land of Shu as its foundation, and Liu Bang suffered a hundred defeats. After Gai won one victory, he finally ruled the world.

Liu Bei of the Shu Han Dynasty was entrenched in the middle of Shu, and he was one of three in the world with Cao Wei and Sun Wu.

That is to say, because of the above examples, when the dynasties faced Shuzhong again, they were often very wary and would never give the people of Shuzhong a chance to grow. In addition, the weather in Shuzhong was good all year round, and the people were prosperous. Under the rule of law, hedonism became popular, which eventually led to the emergence of useless princes in Shu.

The first thing Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty did after proclaiming himself emperor in Chang'an was to send Li Xiaogong to conquer Bashu. After Li Xiaogong entered Shu with Li Yuan's letter, it took him ninety-six days to capture more than 30 areas of Shu without any effort. state.

Since then, the Tang Dynasty has had the most stringent tax requirements on Shu. During the period of the founding of the country, blood was almost continuously drawn from Shu to heal the wounds of Guanzhong and the Central Plains caused by the wars between the princes.

It is for this reason that the land in Sichuan has good weather and good harvests every year, but it is still poor.

The weather is good, the harvest is good every year, but the poverty is still there. This phenomenon will be okay for a while, but the people in Shu will naturally not be reconciled as time goes by. Although Li Zhi is blind in one eye, his heart is clear, so he has Yun Chu entered Sichuan with great force this time.

In February of the 21st year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong planned to conquer Goguryeo again in person, but just after everything was ready, the unlucky Emperor Taizong suffered from wind disease again. This disease tortured Emperor Taizong so much that he was treated from February to November.

Naturally, there was no way to personally conquer Goguryeo while in bed. Rather than being idle, it was better to find something to do. Therefore, in June of the 21st year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong ordered Wei Chigong to depose the ambassador of Jiannan Road to rectify Shuzhong.

The eight surnames of Cheng, Yao, Guo, Shi, Zhang, Ji, Li and Zhao were destroyed in Shu.

Yunchu came to Shuzhong this time in the name of conquering the southwest. In fact, he also shouldered the same mission as Yuchi Gong.

However, Yun Chu dissuaded Li Zhi, who was furious at the expedition to the southwest that was messed up by the Shu generals and felt that Shu still needed a second rectification.

This time, Yunchu didn't want to kill people, he just wanted to let Guanzhong and the Central Plains monopolize the wealth in Shuzhong, so that if Shuzhong had some money, he would always think about "burning down the sword pavilion for seven hundred miles, and there would be no cave in Shuzhong."

As for the Southwest Rebellion, despite the fact that they defeated 8,000 armored men, without the support of the Tubo people, Nanzhao made it clear that for today's Tang Dynasty, it was just a scabies disease. There was no reason to send three soldiers at a time. The captain went to war, and this time he sent a general with outstanding military exploits.

The Liushui brand was originally an economic nail in the middle of Sichuan in Yunchu's year. This nail was ruined by the explosion of the Liushui brand in Chang'an. Pai was expelled from Shuzhong.

It's just that they have different opinions about being afraid of wolves before and tigers behind, and they are procrastinating. As a result, although the Chengdu Liushui brand has declined, it has not yet fallen. Now that Yunchu has entered Shu with force, they will have no chance again.

The army rested in the drizzle for five days, but Yunchu still had no intention of breaking camp and heading to Chengdu.

This made Marching Commander Shi Li Yuance extremely anxious.

He really wanted to recreate the achievements of Aye Li Xiaogong in pacifying Shu in ninety-six days as soon as possible, but Yun Chu was procrastinating and had no idea of ​​​​soldiers and speed.

The dissatisfaction has been gestating. He couldn't remember how many secret messages he had given to the emperor during this period. Unfortunately, until now, he still had not received feedback from the emperor.

On the other hand, Yunchu received orders from Luoyang every fifteen days.

This made Li Yuance feel deeply resentful towards the emperor.

Yun Chu is eating hot pot.

One autumn rain and one cold, after entering Shuzhong, Yunchu felt sorry for all the hard work he had done without eating a meal of red oil hot pot.

Because the base material was fried by Yunchu himself, the only people qualified to eat this pot of red oil hot pot were Zhang Donghai and a few of his disciples.

Yun Jin is an extremely good eater. She rinsed the beef tripe in the soup pot with chopsticks for a few times and then put it into the bowl of Li Si, who was extremely good at eating. Li Si just lowered his head to eat, occasionally wiping his tears. Snot.

Zhang Donghai and Yun Chu were having a hot pot together, and he couldn't eat spicy food. However, this was hot pot cooked by the commander himself, so he couldn't eat it.

Yunchu saw that Zhang Donghai was in tears and his nose was full of tears, which greatly affected his appetite, so he asked the guard to get him a bowl of water and allowed him to wash the food in the water before eating.

"Hehehe, the fragrance is overflowing... cough, cough, cough, poor general, I can't enjoy it."

When Yunchu saw that Zhang Donghai's mouth was swollen, he said angrily: "If you can't eat it, don't eat it."

Zhang Donghai immediately handed over and left the Chinese army's tent.

There were no outsiders in the big tent, and Wen Huan could not get anything to eat. Di Guangsi immediately came to Yun Chu with his rice bowl to eat.

Yun Chu poured Lao Duo's beef into the hot pot and said to Wen Huan while it was cooking, "Why did you make yourself look like a flower bear?"

Wen Huan, who had already taken off his coat because he was sweating from eating, curled his lips and said, "I just covered my face when we were marching. The weather is hot, so sometimes I inevitably take off my clothes, and I end up looking like this while walking." .”

Yun Chu smiled and said: "It can be regarded as a bitter experience."

Wen Huan, who was always casual in front of Yun Chu, muttered: "I'm just going to suffer this once, just to taste it. I don't want to suffer all the time."

When Yunchu saw that the beef was cooked, he gave it to Wen Huan and Di Guangsi took a bowl of it. He picked up a piece of beef and chewed it slowly. The yellow beef in Sichuan was indeed good.

Yun Jin saw that Li Si's eating speed had slowed down, so she asked her father while rinsing her belly.

"Aye, are you really not willing to waste more energy on the southwest side?"

Yunchu took a sip of wine and nodded lightly: "Aye's focus is not on the southwest."

Li Chengxiu raised his head and said to Yun Chu: "Master, why does the matter in the southwest begin not with soldiers and horses, but with trade?

The disciples were worried that without troops to suppress the battle, the merchants would not be able to gain the respect of the barbarians. "

Yunchu said with a smile: "There are eight divisions in Nanzhao. Under the eight divisions, there are nine caves and thirty-six caves. Under the thirty-six caves, there are countless villages. These villages are spread all over Nanzhao. With the power of the Tang Dynasty, they cannot If the people of Shandong and Hebei are asked to obey, do you think those barbarians will listen to the so-called cave masters, and will those cave masters listen to the eight tribes?

As for the barbarians scattered in the vast mountains and wilderness, each village has its own gods, witches, and village masters. Do you think Sheng Luopi, the so-called Lord of Nanzhao, can really The one who sticks the pole to the end and conveys his orders to every village and every person?

If Sheng Luopi could really do this, his master had already suggested that the court should be on good terms with Sheng Luopi and marry some of Sheng Luopi's princesses. "

Hearing this, Li Si raised his head and said sadly: "Master, don't you feel pity for Princess Tang?"

Yun Chu glanced at Li Si and said, "Compared with using the lives of countless soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to fill the hole in Nanzhao, a few princesses are nothing."

Yun Jin said angrily on the side: "Women should try to have as little involvement as possible in things that men can do. I remember that Aye was very unhappy about the marriage before, so why did he change his mind?"

Yun Chu slapped away Wen Huan's hand that stole the wine, and after taking a sip of the wine in the glass, he said: "Because at that time, you, Aye, saw people as humans and pigs as pigs. Now, you see people as not humans and pigs as not. Pig, when you look at something, there are pros and cons written on it. After weighing it on the scale, as long as the pros outweigh the cons, you should decisively abandon the cons, no matter what the cons are written on. .”

Yun Jin thought for a while and said: "No, people are people and pigs are pigs. Even if disadvantages are written on people and advantages are written on pigs, we should discard the advantages and keep the disadvantages. Otherwise, there will be no distinction between humans and pigs." It’s not easy to reproduce.”

Yun Chu chuckled and said, "Anyway, this is what my education is like, whether you like it or not."

Wen Huan said with a smile: "Master, I listen, I listen, can you give me a sip of wine?"

Yun Chu lovingly rubbed the top of Wen Huan's head, then exhaled and said: "Go away——"
