    Chengdu was destroyed. It is said that the Han emperor refused to surrender and died from random arrows. Many officials in Chengdu also had their homes confiscated. However, most of the Han officials were not affected by the military disaster, and the civilians lived in peace.  Song Laoqing presided over the recruitment of soldiers and the aftermath in Chengdu. He collected prisoners from Chengdu and Jianzhou, and expanded his military strength to 400,000. Five days later, Du Yong led 300,000 Baling troops to leave Chengdu, and when the Jin army invaded Bashu  At that time, a large number of warships were already sailing up the river in the lower reaches of the river.  Du Yong led the Baling Army to rendezvous with Guan Chong. After the two armies met, they marched directly to Bazhou to the east of Jiange. Bazhou was already occupied by the Zhou Kingdom. Cao Bin was frightened when the scouts reported urgently that he only had 100,000 soldiers.  The enemy's army is half a million strong, and most of them are armored elites.  Cao Bin not only asked Lu Qi for help, but also ordered Pan Mei to send 100,000 troops to Hanzhong. After receiving the order, Pan Mei only mobilized 50,000 troops to aid Hanzhong. The reason was that he had to guard Jingzhou and said that the Jin State had a large number of warships.  Once you get to Bashu, you can go down the river and capture Jingzhou at any time.  Cao Bin really had no choice. The Jin army's general situation was completely beyond his previous expectations, but now it is inevitable. After Jin destroyed Wei, he no longer had any worries. Moreover, Jingzhou's military strength had also been reduced, so he could naturally gather it.  Using massive military power to implement human sea tactics.  On the other hand, Zhou State invaded Jingzhou, but it was like being deceived and its military strength was divided. If Hanzhong still had 300,000 troops, Cao Bin would have the courage to attack Jin's 700,000 troops. Cao Bin  However, he felt that His Majesty the Emperor should not rush to mobilize Zhao Kuangyi's troops to leave Jingzhou.  Facing the advance of 500,000 Jin troops, Cao Bin had no choice but to retreat. If the territory was lost, he could retake it. If 100,000 troops were destroyed by the Jin army, it would be a serious blow to the Zhou Dynasty, and he had no choice but to give up.  Hanzhong retreated to Fengzhou, and King Ji gathered nearly 100,000 local troops to belong to Cao Bin, but it became a fact that Hanzhong was won and lost again.  Lu Qi could only respond to the situation by deploying 50,000 troops to Jiezhou and Chengzhou, and formed a semi-encirclement situation with the Zhou army in Fengzhou towards Hanzhong. However, he felt depressed in his heart. When he was in Changsha Mansion, he said  Don't invade Hanzhong. As a result, after the Jin army invaded Bashu, they actually invaded Hanzhong.  The real reason why Lu Qi refused to advance into Hanzhong was that he did not want to put huge foreign pressure on the Zhou state. In addition, the Jin army could gain geographical advantage by guarding Jiange without having to expend too much military force. However, defending Hanzhong would contain the Jin state.  With a lot of military power, it is easy to have a stalemate and large-scale war with the Zhou Dynasty.  The Jin army invaded Hanzhong, which may have destroyed the results that Lu Qi expected. Without huge pressure from foreign invaders, the possibility of internal strife in Zhou Dynasty was very high. Now Jin State has posed the threat of annihilation to Zhou State, and Zhou State's internal  The possibility of division is greatly reduced, that is, the military ministers who want to usurp the throne will suppress their ambitions in order to avoid the snipe and the clam competing for the fishermen's profit.  Feeling depressed, Lu Qi had to face the reality. He felt that the coach of the Jin army might not be Guan Chong, nor Gu Taiwei. The person in charge was obviously domineering, which could also be said to be impulsive. Guan  Chong and Lieutenant Gu knew that he did not want to take Hanzhong early, so who could it be?  Fang Jie was dressed in civilian clothes and entered the Jiezhou area nervously. He never expected that the commander would let him enter Jiezhou to find His Majesty. His Majesty was not in the Fuzhou Palace of Jin State. Fang Jie couldn't believe it.  things.  After more than ten miles, Fang Jie became a prisoner. He claimed that he was Lu Tianfeng, a fellow countryman of General Lu, and came to report important military information. The soldier who captured Fang Jie took Fang Jie to see Lu Qi without saying a word.  , those soldiers were originally ordered by Lu Qi to wait.  After entering the command tent of the military camp, Lu Qi sat at a table and processed paperwork. After Longyou was assigned to him, the governors of the states outside Hexi all asked Lu Qi for instructions on matters that were not suitable for decision-making in their states. To put it bluntly, it was  When expressing respect and obedience to Lu Qi, Lu Qi certainly understood, so he gave his approval very seriously.  Fang Jie recognized Lu Qi at a glance, and his breath was stagnant in shock. Then he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on one knee. He said respectfully with a military salute: "I am the general of the Baling Army, Marquis Yu, and I bow to your majesty. Long live my emperor." Lu Qi is already here.  He turned to look and said with a smile: "Fang Jie, why are you here? Get up." Fang Jie stood up respectfully. Lu Qi pointed to the stool beside the table and said, "There is no need to be restrained in the army. Sit down." Fang Jie stood up.  After bowing, he sat across from Lu Qi. Lu Qi looked at him and said calmly: "I remember you followed Du Yong. Could it be that Du Yong led the army to Hanzhong?" "Yes, I followed Du Da.  Marshal, this time the army of Baling, Laoqing Army of Song Dynasty, and Guan Chong Army invaded Bashu, a total of 700,000 people. Now Marshal Song is guarding Chengdu, Marshal Du joined Marshal Guan, and they combined 500,000 troops to march into Hanzhong.  "Fang Jie replied.  Lu Qi nodded and said: "Song Laoqing came with his army, but he did not suppress the bandits." "Yes, it was a military order issued by the inner court, ordering Marshal Song and Marshal Du to advance to Bashu first,"After taking Bashu, Marshal Song said that the ladies in the inner court allowed him to invade Hanzhong, so Marshal Du led his army and Marshal Guan to march into Hanzhong.  "Fang Jie explained, looking at Lu Qi nervously. Lu Qi frowned, and then said angrily: "What a nonsense.  " Fang Jie was slightly shocked when he heard this, but remained silent. Lu Qi breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Is the war against Bashu going well?  " "It went very smoothly.  "Fang Jie explained in detail, including Song Laoqing's recruitment of soldiers to surrender and the attack on the city without persuading them to surrender. The Emperor of Han was killed in the palace. "Your Majesty, Marshal Du did not expand the strength for the sake of the stability of the Baling Army.  Accepted the surrender.  "Fang Jie said. Lu Qi calmed down and nodded: "As long as everything goes well.  " Fang Jie nodded. Lu Qi looked at Fang Jie again and said calmly: "Don't think that I will blame Song Laoqing and Du Yong. Song Laoqing was my life and death brother in the Xinghua Army. What he did, I  There will be no suspicion. Du Yong and you are also my old brothers. Guan Chong is a loyal man, so the three commanders will not betray me at all.  " Fang Jie nodded lightly and said: "To be honest with you, Your Majesty, I feel that Marshal Song's behavior has gone too far, which makes people worried.  " Lu Qi smiled and shook his head, saying: "There is nothing to worry about. Not to mention the life-and-death friendship between Song Laoqing and me, there are hundreds of thousands of troops in Bashu. Not to mention the surrender of soldiers, the other 200,000 are from the Jin State.  , there is no way he would have betrayed the Jin State. If he left the Jin State, he would have no roots. How could he gain a foothold in Bashu after the betrayal? Today's Bashu, you said, is very poor.  " Fang Jie nodded, but then shook his head and said: "Your Majesty has misunderstood my worries. I am worried that Marshal Song's overstep will cause trouble. Today's Jin army respects Your Majesty very much. Marshal Song has led the army not long ago, and no one will follow him.  Randomly.  Lu Qi smiled after hearing this and said, "Does Du Yong have anything to say?"  " " Marshal Du and Marshal Guan would like to come and pay homage to His Majesty.  "Fang Jie said respectfully. "They'd better stop coming. I'll go with you when night falls.  " Lu Qi said casually. Fang Jie nodded, hesitated, and then asked: "Your Majesty, I feel that your Majesty does not like to enter Hanzhong.  " Lu Qi nodded and explained the reasons and strategic thoughts. Fang Jie nodded and said: "What your Majesty said is the truth. If a group of thieves is fighting among themselves to fight for the king, and officers and soldiers suddenly come, 70% of them will give up.  Those who argue will deal with the officers and soldiers first, and 30% of them will break up and run away if they have different opinions.  " Lu Qi laughed when he heard this, and said gently: "Song Laoqing is not to blame for the seizure of Hanzhong. In fact, it was caused by me. The inner court was worried about my safety, so it wanted Longyou to be completely integrated with the Jin territory.  " Fang Jie nodded and said, "I also think it is inappropriate for Your Majesty to be alone outside.  Lu Qi nodded excitedly and said, "Are the soldiers and Yongjun brothers now all officials?"  " "Most of them have served as military attach¨¦s, and their subordinates have also served as military officers. They are Yuhou of the Chinese Army. A small number of those who are not capable have served as Yiwei in Fuzhou. It is a blessing for our subordinates to be rich and honorable. It is our good fortune.  , able to become His Majesty's Yuan Cong veteran.  "Fang Jie said sincerely. Lu Qiwei was startled, and then nodded in understanding. Yuan Cong means the closest old subordinates. The subordinates of the Tang Dynasty Taizu Li Yuan who raised troops from Taiyuan became the Yuan Cong Forbidden Army, and their descendants succeeded them, which means the emperor's personal army.  Lu Qi chatted with Fang Jie about the past, and learned more about the affairs of the Jin State through Fang Jie. Fang Jie was the Marquis of Yu in the Chinese Army and often participated in secret exchanges with the imperial army. His role in the Baling Army was very important.
