The ancient saying that the world of clouds has not been chaotic before Shu has been peaceful, and after cleaning up the Golden Lake, Song Taizu began to use the brains of Hou Shu, but the difficulty of the Shu Road was far better than that of the Qingtian Hou Shu army. To this end, Song Taizu made long-term preparations, he sent people to investigate the situation in the mountains and rivers in Shu, drew up a detailed map, and then formulated a careful battle plan and march route.
At this time, the monarchs of Later Shu were still in a prosperous dream, the lord of the country Meng Chang claimed that although the Emperor of Dashu was arrogant in the palace, but the pomp and circumstance was not ambiguous, even the clay utensils in the palace were also decorated with colorful gems, and he also felt that a lady of the flower Rui national color Tianxiang needless to say, the literary talent was not bad, the happy Meng Taste was mixed in the fat powder pile all day, and handed over the state affairs to Wang Zhaoyuan and others who served him from childhood, the empress dowager Li Shi saw the rise and fall of the rise and fall, and taught her son in a worried manner, I see that your father was in charge of the army when he started a business. Now you are using either the cronies of the past or the children of the family, what use can these people be in fighting? Where could this Emperor of The Great Shu who was born in Anle listen to it? Not only did he squander it himself, but he also let the dog officials below plunder at will, even though the country of Heavenly Palace could not withstand such a toss.
Song spies returned from the Shu Kingdom to report that in Chengdu they heard people chanting Zhu Changshan's bitter poems, that there was nowhere to hide from the summer depression, and that when did the cool breeze come? Song Taizu said, this shows that the Shu people are looking forward to me going to fight against the Meng clan, Meng's close confidant Wang Zhaoyuan pingbai got a zhi privy academician in charge of the military, someone gave him a bad idea, now you want to establish Qigong, in order to suppress the criticism of the government and the opposition, the best strategy is to contact the Northern Han to jointly attack the Central Plains, Wang Zhaoyuan thinks that this is a good idea, and hastily persuade the Shu lord to implement it, who knows that the secret letter sent to the Northern Han by Shi Yang Fengyin, the secret of the Shu state, flowed into the hands of Song Taizu in the middle of the way, Taizu showed it, haha laughed, and now I am justified in the west.
In November 964, emperor Taizu of Song appointed Wang Quanbin as commander-in-chief, and the 60,000 Song troops were divided into two routes. Wang Quanbin built his own gate all the way into Sichuan, and Liu Guangyi Cao Bin and others led another army from the Three Gorges into Sichuan. Emperor Wufa sent people to build 500 rooms in Bishui, with all the clothes and bedding, and threatened that this was specially prepared for the Shu lord's family. The departing Taizu said to the generals that the money and wealth of the town should be divided among the soldiers, and I only needed this piece of land, and the people would be so happy that they would be ordered to leave.
When the Shu lord heard the news, wang Zhaoyuan was appointed as the commander of the Shu army, and Wang Zhaoyuan read the soldiers' books and thought that he could compare with zhuge liang. On the day of the dispatch of the army, the prime minister and his party all came to practice, Wang Zhaoyuan drank half drunk and made wild remarks, I did not stop defeating the enemy and taking the Central Plains on this trip, it was easy to palm up, after saying that the army was marched out to imitate Zhuge Liang's movements, and the ministers who sent off the country shook their heads and sighed with tears and laughter.
The terrain of Bashu was steep, but the Song army made full preparations, and the Shu army built a pontoon bridge on the Kuizhou River with a triple fence, and the artillery on both sides of the river was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Before the trip, Taizu specially pointed to the map and explained that there should be no warships to fight here, and should be attacked by cloth troops, Liu Guangyi Cao Bin abandoned the boat and landed 30 miles away from the Suo River, suddenly attacked the pontoon bridge, and soon captured Kuizhou. Wang Quanbin made rapid progress all the way, and Wang Zhaoyuan, who was said to be alive in Zhuge Zhaoyuan, defeated the elite of the Shu army in three battles and lost all his efforts to defend the sword gate in an attempt to defend it with natural danger. The Song army had to be demoted to the instructions of the pawns from the path straight into the river to build a pontoon bridge across the River Shu soldiers abandoned the village and fled, Wang Zhaoyuan heard that he also left the partial general To guard the sword gate himself to run to Hanyuan first, and in the middle of the way came the news that the sword gate had been lost, and the fake Zhuge was so frightened that he could not get up on the chair, let alone command the battle, and did not even know how to escape, the general of the Shu army had to lead the resistance by himself, and as a result, he was killed by the Song army all over the field, Wang Zhaoyuan fled to Dongchuan to take off his battle robe and hide in the people's barn, crying and crying every day until the day when he was arrested. The eyes are red like peaches where there is still a little dashing demeanor. The news of the defeat in the front reached the Lord of Chengdu Shu before he woke up like a dream and took out the gold leaf hidden in the palace to recruit soldiers to buy horses and order the prince to open the Fujian gate for the commander. The prince was originally a clumsy disciple, and when he sent out the army, he also brought musical instrumental musicians and beautiful concubines, and the military flags were embroidered with flowers and whistles, and when he first set out, he encountered a sudden rain prince who was afraid of damaging his beautiful military flag and ordered him to roll up. After a while, the rain passed and the sky was clear and hurriedly hung up, and the flags were hung upside down in a hurry, which caused the onlookers to laugh, such an army of course lost without a fight, and the only battle record was the robbery of the people by the Great Recruiting Society.
When the Song army came to the city, the Shu lord surrendered to the front of the army, and the two Song troops sent troops from the Song army to the Shu state surrender when they met in Chengdu, but only 66 days before and after the surrender of the Shu state, because Taizu had said that the soldiers on the first road had a lot of property, and the Chengdu Shu lord gave a lot of gold leaf, and the desire of the labor army was infinitely inflated once it was stimulated, Wang Quanbin and others were drunk by the warm wind of the Shu capital, and the day and night feasts were held and drunk, ignoring the military connivance with the subordinates to rob beautiful women and seize the property, the people of the Shu state did not expect that the so-called Wang Shi was a group of wild wolves Whose hostility spread rapidly, and Cao Bin had a premonition of the crisis He advised Wang Quanbin and other class teachers to have a good time and listen to jiang. In order to control the Liangchuan Taizu order to recruit Shu soldiers into the city, the imperial court originally issued a generous installation fee but was withheld by the insatiable Wang Quanbin and others, and the Song soldiers were indignant at arbitrarily oppressing the Shu soldiers.
In March 965, qiande three years AD, the Shu soldiers who left Sichuan mutinied when they went to Mianzhou, claiming that the Xingguo army gathered to more than 100,000 people, and the people of the two Rivers fought to help each other, and for a time there were Shu people in Sixteen Prefectures and Shu County in Chengdu who responded. The Song army retreated to Chengdu, and Wang Quanbin and others were afraid to live forever. There were still 20,000 troops in Chengdu, and the Song army tricked them into killing them all in Jiacheng. Song Taizu heard that the Liangchuan soldiers had sent reinforcements to the Song army inside and outside, and it was not until the end of the year that it was difficult to control the mutiny. After the matter was decided, Taizu recalled Wang Quanbin and others, and although they had committed great evil deeds, they finally grabbed a large piece of land for the emperor, so they were only punished symbolically, and the people of Sichuan were devastated by the two wars.
The Shu lords were escorted to Fenjing, and indeed took up residence in the 500-room mansion, thus proving that Song Taizu's prophecy was fulfilled to satisfy the vanity of the victors. However, within a few days of staying, the Shu lord died inexplicably, and Lady Huarui also returned to the emperor. Li Shi, the mother of the Shu Lord, will not shed a tear at this point and will say bitterly after the inland, "You did not die for the sake of the society and live greedily, so what about today?" I endured it all for you to this day, and now that you are dead, why should I go on a hunger strike and die soon after.
