The descendants of the King of Great Shu reappeared. In just half a month, the rebel army almost swept across the entire eastern and western Sichuan areas, Jianzhou (now Jiange County, Sichuan), Mianzhou (now Mianyang, Sichuan), Langzhou (now Langzhong, Sichuan), and Bazhou (now Bazhong, Sichuan) fell one after another. Fortunately, Jianmen Pass in the north of Jianzhou was still in the hands of his own people. The military commander who guarded this place was Shangguan Dingnai. This person is not an ordinary person, and he still has some real materials. I heard that his ancestors were Shangguan Wen, the famous general who fought with the King of Great Shu for several days to ensure the victory of the pass.

Jianmen Pass is an important gateway to northern Sichuan. Sichuan is mainly connected to the north through three plank roads (Talnut, Micang, Yinping). Among them, Taurus Road was the earliest and relatively easy to walk. In addition, Taurus Road directly connects to Chengdu, the center of the Sichuan Basin, and it is most convenient to attack Chengdu from Taurus Road, so Taurus Road is particularly important in defense in northern Sichuan. Jianmen Pass is the gateway to guard Taurus Road.

The ability to defend Jianmen Pass is actually three points to manpower and seven points to geographical advantage. Jianmen Pass has its unique geographical advantages. The peaks on both sides are tough like axes, with a wall high and a thousand blades, and a line of strange stones around it. The Guan Tower is built between the Dajian Mountain and the Xiaojian Mountain in the mountains and ridges. It is called the throat of entering Shu. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is often a place where one man can pass by ten thousand men. It has always been a must-fight for military strategists.

Zhang Zai, a writer of the Western Han Dynasty, praised in "The Inscription of Jiange": "The rocks and Liangshan are covered with stones. They are far away from Jingheng, and are close to Minji. The south is connected to Qiongji, and the north is reached Baoxie. The narrow passes through Pengjie and is higher than Songhua. Only the gate of Shu is built into a town. This is called Jiange, with a wall standing thousands of feet high. The dangerous land is hidden and the steep road is steep." Li Deyu, a famous politician and writer of the Tang Dynasty, wrote in "The Inscription": "The mountains come from the west, and the steep clouds are buried. The dangerous land is hidden. This is the Shumen. The steep walls are as thick as spears. The steep valleys are running eastward, and the two fly high palaces. The green ridges are horizontal, with dark dark colors. The trees are like majestic screens to protect the kingdom." Deng Zhi, an important official of Shu Han in the Three Kingdoms, once said: Shu has a strong and dangerous solidity, and Wu has a three river barrier. Those who are serious and dangerous are called Baoxie.

The danger of Ziwu is that there is the narrowness of Jiange inside. Zuo Si, a famous writer in the Western Jin Dynasty, said: "The Fu": Block the Jiange. In the late Eastern Jin Dynasty, the minister Yin Zhongkan said: The narrowness of Jiange is the key to Shu. Liu Feng of the Tang Dynasty said: The danger of Liangshan is that Shu relies on the outer door. The cliffs of the mountain are broken, and the two cliffs are like gates and planted by swords, so they are called Jianmen. "Yizhou Tujing" says: Xiaojian Mountain blocks the wilderness across the sky, runs through the peaks and falls to the ground, holds Chu and Baohan, and Qin hosts Shu. Although the big sword is called natural danger, there is a block to guard. The road between Chongzhu is quite smooth. The small sword carries stones to build beams, and the flying pavilions are established, and the towering cannot fly over. Li Bai said that a man should be a pass that cannot be opened. Although, Liu Chan and Xiao Ji's disciples, how good is the place?

In the ninth year of King Huiwen of Qin (316 BC), Sima Cuo destroyed Shu, which was the way. According to legend, during the Warring States Period, King Hui of Qin wanted to swallow Shu, but had no way to enter Shu, and lied that he gave him a gift of gold bull, and the five beauties to the King of Shu. The King of Shu believed it to be true and sent five powerful men around him to split the mountain to open the way. He entered Qin to welcome the beauties and transported the Taurus to open the Shu road, which was called the "Talented Bull Road", also known as the Jianmen Shu Road. In the fourth year of Yongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty (61 AD), the Sili School Commander Yang Jue rebuilt the Jianmen Shu Road.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of Shu, led his army to attack Wei. He passed Dajian Mountain and saw the majestic peaks and the mountains were steep. He ordered the soldiers to dig mountain rocks, build flying beams, and build plank roads. The stones were built as passes, called Jiange or Jiange Pass. After the Tang Dynasty, he often called Jianmen Pass. Zhuge Liang went to Qishan six times and attacked Cao Wei in the north. He once stationed grain, stationed troops, and trained troops here. He also built stones at the canyon pass between the cliffs of Dajian Mountain, building a gate, and sent troops to guard it. In 263 AD, Zhong Hui, the general of the Wei army, led 100,000 elite troops to advance to Hanzhong and approached Jianmen Pass to capture Shu. Jiang Wei, the general of the Shu army, led 30,000 troops to retreat to Jianmen Pass, and resisted Zhong Hui's 100,000 troops outside Jianmen Pass.

In the eighth year of Yuankang in the Western Jin Dynasty (298 AD), Li Te, the founder of the Han regime in Chenghan, led the refugees from Guanzhong to eat Bashu, and passed Jiange, sighing and said, "Without Liu Chan's face tied to others, isn't it a mediocre person?" In the third year of Shengping in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (359 AD), the governor of Liangzhou Sima Xun rebelled and led his troops into Jiange, attacked Fu (now Mianyang), and besieged Yizhou (now Chengdu). Prime Minister Huan Wen sent Zhu Xu, famous generals of the Eastern Jin Dynasty to attack Ping him. In the first year of Ningkang in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (373 AD), the former Qin Emperor Fu Jian sent general Xu Cheng to conquer Jiange, and then seized Liang and Yizhou.

In the second year of Jianyuan of Qi in the Southern Dynasties (480 AD), Cui Huijing, the general of Southern Qi, defeated Li Wunu, who invaded Liangzhou in Jiange at Jiange. In the fourth year of Tianjian in Liang (505 AD), Xing Luan, a famous general of the Northern Wei Dynasty, sent the commander-in-chief Wang Zu into Jiange and besieged Fucheng. In the thirteenth year of Tianjian (514 AD), the Northern Wei Dynasty sent Zhen Chen out of Jiange. In the thirteenth year of Tianjian (516 AD), Zhang Qi, the prefect of two counties in Brazil and Zitong, failed to compete with the Northern Wei for Jiameng Pass, and the Jianmen defender abandoned the city. In the sixth year of ordinary (525 AD), Xiao Yuanyou, the governor of Yizhou, sent his general Fan Wenchi to surround Jianmen Pass and fled. In the first year of Datong (54

In the 6th year), Jiange was restored to Liang. In the first year of Dabao (550 AD), the chief of Di tribe Yang Fachen, the chief of the Di tribe, surrendered to the Northern Wei Dynasty in Lizhou (now Guangyuan), and the governor of Yizhou, Xiao Ji, the king of Wuling, sent Yang Qianyun to attack Jianmen Pass. In the second year of Chengsheng (553 AD), Xiao Ji rebelled and invaded Jingzhou in the east. Yuchi Ji of the Western Wei took advantage of the opportunity to go south to Tongzhou (now Mianyang). Yang Qian and others secretly sent money to Wei with Jiange, and Jiong entered Jiange, and Shu collapsed. In the first year of Daxiang in the Later Zhou Dynasty (579 AD), the general manager of Yizhou Wang Qian raised troops to respond to the general manager of Xiangzhou, Yuchi Jiong, and attacked Yang Jian. Yang Jian sent Liang Rui, a famous general of the Sui Dynasty to attack him and advanced from Jiange to Chengdu.

In the first year of Yuanhe in the Tang Dynasty (806 AD), Yan Li, the governor of Shannan West Road, seized the Jianmen and entered Jianzhou to quell the rebellious Xichuan Jiedu. In the late Xiantong period (874 AD), Nanzhao invaded Chengdu, and the Tang army left Jianmen, but the enemy retreated. In the fourth year of Qianning (897 AD), Wang Jian, the governor of Xichuan, attacked Dongchuan, and Li Maozhen, the governor of Longyou, sent his general Li Jizhao to rescue him, and left the side general to guard Jianmen Pass.

In the fourth year of Tongguang in the Later Tang Dynasty (926 AD), the Later Tang Dynasty destroyed Former Shu. Li Shaochen (Kang Yanxiao) joined troops in Jianzhou and claimed to be the governor of Xichuan. King Li Jiji of Wei sent Ren Yuan to pursue him. Ren Yuan sent other generals to guard him at Jianmen Pass, and then defeated Shaochen in Hanzhou. In the first year of Changxing (930 AD), Dongchuan Jieduan Dong Zhang and Xichuan Jieduan Meng Zhixiang planned to occupy the two rivers. Dong Zhang sent troops to build seven camps at Jianmen Pass, and then set up Yongding Pass north of Jianmen Pass, and arranged beacon fires. General Shi Jingtang was ordered to attack Dong Zhang and sneak attack Jianmen Pass. In the second year of Xiande in the Later Zhou Dynasty (955 AD), he sent troops to attack Hou Shu, seize Qin, and rank various states. Shu people gathered troops and food at Jianmen Pass and Baidi City.

In the third year of Qiande (965), the general Wang Quanbin attacked Houshu, and some surrendered soldiers said: "From Jiangdong, Zhaohua County, there are several mountains, with narrow paths, and the name is Lai Su. The Shu people set up a zha in Jiangxi to guard it. There is a cross on the other side. The road goes out to Jianmen twenty miles south of Jianmen and joins the official road. From this, the army will be dangerous and not reliable." Kang Yanze said: "The Shu people are both strong in guarding Jianmen. If the generals are asked to work together to attack, they will order other generals to take Su, reach Qingren, and fend the Jiange in the north, and attack with the soldiers. It will be bound to be broken." Wang Quanbin followed it and then seized Jianmen Pass.

Shangguan Dingnai has been influenced by bad habits in the officialdom over the years and has no longer had the legacy of his ancestors. After learning that the group of monks began to rebel, he still had the courage to go three points. However, he has been on duty at Jianmen Pass for a long time. In order not to go to the footsteps of Jianmen Pass being compromised by general Wang Quanbin in the past, he was punished by the court in the future. These days, he hurriedly set up some village buildings on Laisu Sa Trail. After recruiting more people placed on the village buildings, the food and salary were a little insufficient. The food and military salary that the court had not yet transported were far away and could not relieve the near thirst. He had to ask for help from the prefect of Chengdu Prefecture Wu Yonglin.

The Chengdu Prefecture government office has also been busy these days. After receiving the secret letter of hot-lacquered sent by Shangguan Dingnai overnight, Wu Yonglin seized the time to collect Raf and allocate food. When more and more foreign depositors who fled to Chengdu Prefecture took the "half-money" voucher to exchange silver coins at the "Wutong Money House" in Chengdu Prefecture, the pressure on the "Wutong Money House" doubled, but there was no news about Choumuli for a long time. It seemed that there was something unexpected about him. Seeing that the reserves in the account were getting more and more stretched, Pang Suqiu and the shareholders of the other three were also panicked. If they did not come up with corresponding strategies, it would be very likely to cause civil unrest and the consequences would be unimaginable.

In order to stabilize these depositors, Wu Yonglin began to restrict the withdrawal of at most one or two silver coins on that day, and the large denominations were not accepted. At the beginning, the small people could not understand it. When the public security became more and more chaotic, there were more and more "drums" with unclean hands and feet on the streets. Some people almost became extinct shortly after leaving the "Wutong Money House". They secretly thanked the foresight of the "Wutong Money House". However, at this time, the grain price in Chengdu's presumption suddenly rose from one dou and two hundred cents to four hundred cents (the one cent in the late Northern Song Dynasty had already been rushed to one cent in the past 200 cents (the one cent in the late Northern Song Dynasty had already been rushed.

There is already inflation if it is not as much as the penny in the early Song Dynasty. The price of Fan Zhongyan, a dou of 120 pcs was written below, in the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty. There is even a trend of violent rise, just one price a day. Yesterday, I was still holding the money to buy ginseng, and it is very likely that it is enough to buy cabbage overnight. Wu Yonglin knew that part of it was the people from the "Bao Gehui" who secretly made a mistake, and part of it was the reason why the wealthy families in Chengdu prefecture stocked up grain. Even if these people took out the grain, they could not supply more and more outsiders who poured into Chengdu prefecture.

The Chameng rice that was introduced from Jiaozhi to Middle Earth and could harvest two seasons a year (this was brought to Quanzhou by the Jiaozhi dealers and migrants from Vietnam in the early Song Dynasty, and transported by the early overseas Chinese to Quanzhou and transported by sea) was temporarily promoted and planted in Huzhou, Jiangsu. When Wu Yonglin entered Chengdu Prefecture, he had already passed the sowing period of the merchant. He originally wanted to introduce Chameng rice into Chengdu Prefecture, but it was too late to wait for the next year. Moreover, the rice in the fields was grouting these days, and it was at least two or three months before harvesting, so it was not enough to relieve near thirst.

The macro-control of the market was carried out in another incredible form in this dynasty, which is often a bit incomprehensible. The government opened warehouses and the government warehouses and the opening of government warehouses and relief loans could only solve the urgent problem. In the years of famine caused by natural disasters and man-made disasters, a famous minister, Fan Zhongyan, once had such a practice. At that time, after his failed administration in Qingli, he came to Hangzhou and served as the tutor of Liangzhe Road. He was a politically familiar person and boldly adopted some unconventional practices.

First, he advocated urban residents to engage in dragon boat competitions.

Second, he led his subordinates to hold banquets on West Lake every day. Taking this as an example, he promoted a high-consumption movement among the wealthy class.

Third, we inform all Buddhist temples to build a large-scale construction project while taking advantage of the low labor and low building materials in the wasteland.

Fourth, build, renovate, repair the warehouses and official houses of the government, and serve thousands of civilians every day.

Fifth, it is not to lower the market grain prices, but to the official, the price of grain that has rapidly surged from 120 yuan per bull to 180 yuan per bull.

Fan Zhongyan's series of measures made some people inexplicable at the time. The Transport Envoy and other supervisory officials immediately submitted a memorial to the court, accusing the Hangzhou chief of "not caring about famine, traveling for banquets, and causing trouble for the people and money." As long as one of these crimes is pursued, Fan Zhongyan must be dismissed from office and demoted.

Fan Zhongyan said, "There is surplus money to help the poor." He sent these people away. Of course, he still spent some time.

Sure enough, a considerable number of poor people facing death at that time had the opportunity to save themselves. In addition, the grain prices in Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas rose, and profit-hungry merchants brought grain from all directions to Hangzhou to make money. As more and more grain merchants poured in, the prices of grain quickly fell from the peak. At that time, although Hangzhou was hit by a major disaster, it did not cause huge damage. Later, Bao Zheng did this when he was in Luzhou, Jiangxi. He did even more absolutely. He did not implement administrative intervention in the violently rising grain market and let the market price rise. As a result, merchants from all over the world hurriedly transported grain. Soon, the rice prices fell sharply, saving the crisis. Smart people did not play according to common sense, but in the end they did things perfectly. We have to admire the wisdom of the ancients.

Wu Yonglin knew that the practices of these two famous officials were completely unworkable at the moment. This was determined by the special geographical location of Chengdu Prefecture. Hangzhou where Fan Zhongyan was in charge of the city was well-connected; Luzhou, Jiangxi, and there were many plains; it was easy for food outside to enter the disaster area. Chengdu Prefecture was like a big iron basin trapped in the ground. If people outside wanted to come in or people inside wanted to go out, they would have to work hard. Otherwise, Li Bai would not sigh, "The road to Shu is difficult, it is more difficult than going to the sky." What's more, the current situation is still very unoptimistic. Lu who entered Shu first

The road may have been completely interrupted by the rebellious monk soldiers. The food transported to Chengdu Prefecture halfway was stolen by the monk soldiers. It is very likely that the grain merchants would be wearing a hat of stolen the country. How could those grain merchants dare to wade into this muddy water? The current waterway is occupied by the "Bao Ge Association", so the grain merchants outside don't think about coming in. The grain transported in most of the food has also become sky-high food, but the dragon boat race, the repair of Buddhist temples, the warehouses and the houses of officials can still be done. The grain in Chengdu Prefecture has not yet reached the point of starving people to death, so you can slow down and hold on first.

However, the delayed arrival of Cumli made Wu Yonglin a clever woman unable to cook without rice, and she could not use her strength. The crisis between Mr. Fan and the "Wutong Money House" both need money to solve. Fortunately, Mianzhou is only more than a hundred miles away from Chengdu Prefecture. A fast horse can actually arrive in just two or three hours. However, the military rations transported to Jianmen Pass are urgent and are about to set off today. Wu Yonglin is now unable to split his body in two and use it separately.

Tang Shi, the only familiar with the roads in Sichuan, is still with Zhang Hu, Luo Pingyang, and the mountain divine in the mountains to attract people and soothe people's hearts. He can't come back for a while. Wu Yonglin, who was frowning, came to the door of "Wuweiju". Before he could react, a loud voice scared him.

"Mr. Wu, you usually have a happy pistachio that will make you have fun when the sky falls. Why does it become like a frosted eggplant today?"
