background

After the war of Gaoping, post-Zhou Shizong began to have the idea of unifying China. Qin Zhou was originally the hometown of the Central Plains Dynasty. After the Khitan destroyed the gold, Shu seized the Qin, Cheng, Jie and Feng countries near Guanzhong. In March 1955, some people from Qin Zhou rushed to Daliang and wrote a letter to Zhou Shizong, demanding the development of the west and the restoration of the old land. This letter was adopted by Zhou Shizong.

After that, Zhou Shizong discussed the problem of four-way conquest with ministers, and finally selected Houshu and Nantang as the targets of attack, and at the same time adjusted the positions of some ministers.

Zhou Shizong asked his ministers who could attack the west of Qinqin and Fengzhou next week, and wang pu recommended the envoys of Xuanhui South Hospital and Zhen 'an to train.

Houshu

In the post-Shu period, in March of that year, Meng Changjun, the emperor of the post-Shu period, learned that people had fled to Daliang, and sent Zhao to Hefengzhou to survey the border. After returning to China, Zhao recommended himself to replace Han Jixun, the local military ambassador, and Wang Wandi, the secretariat of Fengzhou, as the highest local military general. Ten days later, Meng Changjun sent Wang Zhaoyuan, the Privy Council, to two states to arrange troops.

On June 3rd, Meng Chang dispatched Li Tinggui, commander of the crane control company, as the commander of the North Road Army, and the commander of the provincial army was high. I, commander of Wuning County, Lu, was the lieutenant of Li Tinggui, and Zhao Chongtao, a guest province, was the supervisor.
