Chapter 181: Di Ren
The two of them walked out of the dense forest in silence, and sure enough, the guys who were chasing and intercepting them had disappeared, and there was no trace of the pursuers at all.
However, at the same time as their temporary safety, their war horses were gone!
"These damn guys, are you crazy poor?" Mrs. Yan Ji looked at the broken reins, and couldn't help but turn very ugly, "It's not that they don't have war horses, what are they doing when they take away the old lady's war horse?" β
In this regard, Han Long didn't have any opinions that he wanted to express, but leaned his back against the trunk of the tree, kept yawning, and just kept moving, but now that he found that he was temporarily safe, he couldn't help but become a little sleepy.
"Let's go, it's not far from Yinping, I'll be able to rest when I get to Yinping!"
After Mrs. Yanji finished speaking, she took the lead in finding the right direction and walked forward without hesitation, followed by Li Li, who was tired, dragging her limping legs, and her movements were inevitably affected.
This time, Mrs. Yan Ji just pointed out the way to Han Long, and then did not support him, nor did she wait for him more, but walked briskly in front, and soon, Mrs. Yan Ji's figure completely disappeared from Han Long's eyes.
Seeing this scene, Han Long didn't feel that there was anything wrong, his words just now were indeed very polite, and now this Mrs. Yanji didn't turn her head directly and left, it was already very polite, especially when she showed him the way, it was right to start him!
"Squeak, squeak, squeak..."
Just when Han Long felt a little tired, he heard a squeaky sound in the distance, and the sound was getting closer and closer.
After that, he saw that Lady Yanki, who had run away before, was now coming to him with a donkey cart.
It can be seen that Mrs. Yanji's driving skills are not bad, a donkey cart is driving steadily, and then it stops in front of Han Long steadily!
"Don't come up quickly, you lame, if you want to limp to Yinping, I'm afraid Xiliang is finished!"
Although Mrs. Yan Ji was helping Han Long, this mouth was indeed not polite at all.
"Thank you!" Han Long was indeed a little tired, but he didn't have any face, and climbed directly into the donkey cart.
"Hey, you're driving..."Mrs. Yan Ji saw Han Long climb up and lay down in the car, and then she was a little angry, but before she could say anything, Han Long's snoring had already come out!
"What a pig!" Mrs. Yan Ji was squeaked by Han Longqi's teeth, but when she thought of him appearing in front of her with a bloody aura just now, she still couldn't bear to wake him up.
Mrs. Yan Ji drove, Han Long lay down and rested, the sound of the wheels creaking was accompanied by Han Long's snoring and the donkey's cry from time to time, which was also very harmonious.
Both of them are coarse linen, and their looks are very ordinary at first glance, but they really look like a passing couple.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Just when Han Long was sleeping soundly, he was called out by Mrs. Yanji, "Boy, hurry up, it's time to get there!" β
Han Long opened his misty eyes and scanned his surroundings, finding that this was indeed the front door of an inn, and there was no danger around.
"Huh~" Han Long shook his neck and secretly put back the short knife he was holding in his hand, "Thank you!" β
"You?" Mrs. Yan Ji was stunned by this sudden honorific, and then couldn't help but sneer, "Guy who is pretentious, are you talking to a certain family here, do you want a certain family to pull you in the future?" β
"Uh... Thank you, ma'am! Han Long blinked his eyes, suddenly laughed, and then led by his buddy, he limped towards the guest room, leaving this poor lady Yanji here alone and watching the donkey cart in a daze!
"This guy..... This guy ....." Mrs. Yan Ji stretched out her finger and pointed at Han Long's departing back, her lips trembling, "Don't you feel pity in your heart?" Don't you know what a conscience is? Won't your conscience hurt if you can't do it? β
However, no matter how Mrs. Yan Ji abuses here, Han Long will not pay attention to him even for a moment, and simply does not want to deal with her, perhaps in Han Long's heart, Mrs. Yan Ji really does not make him feel more comfortable than the bed he is about to lie down.
When Mrs. Yan Ji angrily settled the donkey cart and then returned to the room, what she didn't know was that Han Long, who had limped into the inn before, had completely changed his clothes at this time and walked out of the inn again.
"Yin Ping.... This should be Yinping County, I just don't know which county this is..."Han Long snorted as he walked towards the city gate, "Fortunately, before I came, Amon gave me a good job to do my homework here and tell a certain family about things here, otherwise I really don't know what to do now." β
At the same time, the general who had previously attempted to hunt down Han Long and the two men licked his lips and came to a valley, looking at this deep valley, his face also became quite ugly.
"I really don't want to find this group of guys, the main reason is that those people are too uncompetitive!" The general muttered to himself as he walked toward the valley.
Before he could fully enter the valley, a group of people had already surrounded him, and the aura on each of them was extremely fierce, each holding a large sword and spear, and kept roaring around the general.
Surrounded by such a group of people, the general did not feel any discomfort, but showed a smile on his face, arched his hand towards the people around him, and said loudly.
"Xichuan Wu Ban, I have met you, here is a letter from the leader of Yang Wan, asking to meet General Lei Ding!" Wu Ban shouted loudly, and then waved a letter in his hand at the same time.
"Yang Wan?" A playful voice came from a distance, "What, is that guy too comfortable to do in Xichuan, or is it too uncomfortable to do in Xichuan?" β
As this voice came out, a very rough-looking guy walked in front of Wu Ban, although he looked rough and was wearing the service of the Di people obviously, but this bearing was faintly a little elegant, it was the leader of the Di people within a radius of 100 miles, Lei Ding.
This place in Yongzhou is inextricably linked with the Di people, perhaps because there are many mountains, valleys, mountains and forests in Yongzhou, and the complex geographical location makes the life of the Di people in Yongzhou more comfortable.
And this Lei Ding is one of the most famous leaders of the Di people within a radius of 100 miles, of course, this is also because now, his strength is much weaker, if it was a few years ago, he was also the first-class overlord of a county.
At the beginning of the Battle of Hanzhong, Liu Bei sent his generals Zhang Fei and Ma Chao to attack Xiabian, and then wanted to directly confront Cao Hong's army in Xiabian, but because the Yizhou army had not been trained and killed for a long time, even the original Jingzhou army could not be defeated, not to mention, the war-torn Cao army, so it was bullied very badly.
Of course, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that Liu Bei's army fought a lot of bells and whistles in this battle.
First Zhang Fei was the front, then Qingzhou, Xichuan general Wu Lan was the vanguard, and then the pioneer Wu Lan once again let his subordinate general Ren Kui rush to the front again, and then become the vanguard, and then Wu Lan also deviated from the road.
has a good two-pronged approach, and was played by Wu Lan as Sanyang Kaitai, and he has also become a leading general like Zhang Fei and Ma Chao, which makes everyone very embarrassed, after all, whether it is in terms of identity or status, or in terms of ability, Wu Lan, the general of Xichuan, cannot be compared with Zhang Fei and Ma Chao.
But Wu Lan really did this, and the most important thing is that after Wu Lan did this, for the sake of the overall situation, Liu Bei could only let Ma Chao and Zhang Fei help this idiot a lot.
Zhang Fei was short-tempered, so he naturally wouldn't take care of him, but Ma Chao had just joined the forces of the Liu family, and he had no way to refuse this kind of order, and in the end, Ma Chao had no choice but to let people run from the small road to Yongzhou, and personally invited a group of people to come out to help Wu Lan, who was the fastest.
Among them, one of the leaders of the Yongzhou Di people's forces, Lei Ding!
Lei Ding directly led seven troops to attack more than 10,000 people, and then rushed out of Yongzhou, rushed directly to the lower debate, and then began to fight with Wu Lan before and after.
More than 10,000 soldiers and strong Di people, plus more than 10,000 Xichuan troops under the command of Wu Lan, can be said to be strong, and then besiege a Cao Hong, wanting to take down the next debate in one fell swoop, in front of his own lord can raise his eyebrows.
As a result, even if Wu Lan gave him rights and soldiers, he still messed up the matter in the end.
Tens of thousands of troops besieged a city, but the two armies just handed over, and they didn't do anything, Wu Lan's subordinate generals, who were also his vanguard, Ren Kui, was chopped by Cao Hong's knife, and Wu Lan, whose morale was greatly damaged, instead of repairing the army, directly let the army under his command attack the city, and even rushed up with the people who had just arrived at the battlefield.
The final result is very beautiful, not to mention the others, that is, Wu Lan almost stepped into the footsteps of Ren Kui, so that Zhang Ji designed to run around with his head covered like a headless fly, and then when the soldiers were most tired, let Cao Xiu personally lead people to give an impact, and more than 10,000 troops fled directly, dragging Ma Chao and Zhang Fei, who had just arrived, without moving the sword soldiers at all, and ran back with the gray.
Then as reinforcements to help the war, Lei Dingqin led more than 10,000 soldiers to attack the city, and was beaten miserably by Cao Hong and Zhang Ji, and finally returned to Yongzhou safely, not many people, and he himself changed from a hegemon to a small leader within a radius of 100 miles.
Originally, when Ma Chao led the Di people to besiege Xiliang, the Di people in Yongzhou were pitted very badly by Ma Chao, and Agui, the king of Xingguo, was directly calculated by Yang Fu and Xiahou Yuan to death because he helped Ma Chao to make trouble in Xiliang.
The leader of the White Horse Di people, Yang Ju's only son Yang Qian, who can almost be called a prince, followed Ma Chao's rebellion, and even with his garrison in Jicheng, he almost emptied the White Horse Di people under his command, not to mention, even lost the territory, and finally fell to the point of wandering on the ground in Yongzhou, Yang Wan every time he heard that Ma Chao defected to Liu Bei, he had mixed feelings, and finally simply took the remnants to defect to Ma Chao, or Liu Xuande.
And after Ma Chao left the land of Yongliang, these people have been divided into two distinct factions.
Although the Di people led by Qiang Duan, the leader of the Yinping Di people, have a good relationship with Ma Chao, because of the terrain problem, they are just talking and laughing, and they will never do anything.
On the other hand, the Diren forces led by Lei Ding are strong and strong, but close to the territory of Hanzhong, which can be said to be Ma Chao's natural ally, and then Lei Ding was pitted by this ally of his!
When Lei Ding returned to Yongzhou, there were only the defeated soldiers and horses left in his hands, looking at the old opponent's strong smile, he could only give up the territory with a resentful face, and then threw out Wu Landu, the general of Xichuan who fled to Yongzhou with him.
In the end, Wu Lan asked Qiang Duan to catch it right, and he was directly looked at his head and sent to Cao Cao's table.
At this point, the relationship between Lei Ding and Ma Chao also broke down successfully, Ma Chao felt that Lei Ding was treacherous, and even felt that Lei Ding abandoned Wu Lan, which finally led to Wu Lan's death, which made Ma Chao very embarrassed in front of Liu Bei.
And Lei Ding just didn't want to deal with Ma Chao, a stupid ally, it was clearly said that it was Ma Chao himself and Lei Ding joining forces, what did he say This is a strong alliance, Ma Chao is in front, Lei Ding is in the back, directly open the road from Hanzhong to Yongzhou, and then Ma Chao appeared in Yongzhou again to help Lei Ding be the real king of Yongzhou.
As a result, Lei Ding's family was all wiped out, Ma Chao didn't even let out a fart, and when they finally appeared, they were all left to flee in embarrassment.
This result made Ma Chao and Lei Ding not think about contacting again for several years, even when the battle of Hanzhong was the most anxious between Cao and Liu, Ma Chao and Cao Cao did not think of contacting the enemies of Yongzhou and the people of the Nanban clan in Xichuan.
Of course, the specific reason is that Cao Cao is because he disdains to join forces with other races, and Ma Chao is because he can't wipe off this face and doesn't want to go to Di people anymore, of course, if he finds it, it is estimated that there will be no more Di people to help him.
But this time was different, when the news of Yanji's wife Liu Shen reached Xichuan through Xu Shu, everyone was shocked.
All of them, including Liu Bei and Liu Chan's father and son, forgot that there were still two women of the Liu family in the Cao family's territory.
For the time being, no matter how much they suffered, and no matter how desolate the youngest daughter died, at this time, if Liu Chan had one more sister-in-law, then the matter of seizing the heir would be very unfavorable to the Yizhou forces and Liu Yong.
After all, Liu Chan has the support of many people, and now Liu Yong can remain stable and undefeated, firstly because he occupies the identity of a son-in-law, and secondly, because the people of Yizhou are very united in this regard, while the Jingzhou side is very embarrassed, they are always worried that Liu Chan and those old ministers will unload the mill and kill the donkey.
But if there is a sister of Liu Chan at this time, Liu Chan can firmly link him with the Jingzhou forces through marriage, so it will be inconvenient for the Yizhou forces to do something more.
Moreover, the most important thing is that this sister-in-law also represents more resources, serving in the school office, no matter what she relies on, no matter what her reputation is, just this point, she is enough, plus the name of benevolence and righteousness of her own father, even if everyone doesn't want to, Liu Xuande will make up for Liu Shen.
So in this case, the Yizhou forces will not let Liu Shen or return to Xichuan no matter what, no matter what the purpose of her return is, she can't appear now, at least until the position of the prince of Hanzhong is determined, she must not appear.
This is the reason why Wu Ban, the sister-in-law of the Wu family, appeared here, there are not many talented young people in Yizhou now, either they have already entered Liu Bei's eyes, or they are not capable enough, because of age or some reason, they have not been able to register in Liu Bei's heart, and there are not many forces in Yizhou.
The two little guys of the Zhang family have joined the army, and now they are also mixed in the army, and the rest are the Wu family, although the Wu family is not a local family in Yizhou, the roots of the Wu family are in Yanzhou, and they followed their father Wu Kuang to Yizhou, but after so many years, the Wu family has become bigger.
Wu Yi's goal is too big, not to mention for the time being, it is not powerful enough among the juniors, and in the end, Wu Ban, Wu Yi's clan brother, was selected by thousands of choices, or Wu Ban's identity and status can also reassure everyone.
After Wu Ban came to Yongzhou, he was not in a hurry to find the woman named Liu Shen, but first pretended to be a traveling son of a family, spending all kinds of money, and let himself be targeted by a group of bandits and horse bandits.
The result is obvious, although Wu Ban is the son of the Wu family, although he has indeed not been on the battlefield much, but Wu Ban's ability and force are ranked first in the entire Xichuan forces.
So a group of horse thieves and bandits were quickly co-opted by Wu Ban, and all those who dared to resist him were chopped up one by one by him with his own big knife.
Originally, Wu Ban had already laid down a lot of power by relying on this group of bandits and horse bandits, and then planned to kill Liu Shen in one fell swoop outside Sanguan, not only could he say nothing to those Jingzhou people in Xichuan, but also looked good at those people in Sanguan, which can be said to be counted in one fell swoop.
Things were going well in front of him, but when he started to chase Han Long and the two of them, he suddenly found that there was something wrong with the direction they were running, especially the closer they got to Sanguan, the more uneasy it became.
Thinking of Liu Shen's identity as their school office, Wu Ban finally decided to separate the soldiers and horses, and then asked people to take hundreds of thieves to pursue the two who were already close at hand, while he took the rest of the people to hide quietly in the shadows.
The final result really made him unfortunate guess right, an ambush, hundreds of thieves went directly to Huangquan, but his goal was nothing.
Seeing his subordinates being ruthlessly slaughtered, Wu Ban not only did not have any anger, but felt a little happy, not because he was cold-blooded and ruthless or anything else, but because Wu Ban finally poked out Liu Shen's hole cards.
No matter who the guards of Sanguan are, and why are they willing to help the spies of the two school offices, but this time it will be the limit, if the people of Sanguan make another move, then this matter will not be clear.
Similarly, Wu Ban looked at the ambush place of the Sanguan guards, and knew how much help they could have, and the Sanguan guards would not dare to leave too far, otherwise those two guys would escape so embarrassed and thrilling.
Wu Ban, who found this, became happy, and he did not rush to besiege them again, but chose to follow and outflank, and must ensure that the spies of the two school offices of them were besieged and killed in Yongzhou in one fell swoop.
Anyway, since Xiahou Yuan's death, the land of Yongliang has almost been dragged out of the control of the Cao family, and Zhang Ji's prestige is indeed enough, but his red. 's naked identity as a poor family made him completely unable to display himself in Yongzhou.
And without the suppression of Xiahou Yuan and Zhang Ji, the strong and powerful forces of Yongzhou and those ubiquitous Diren tribes can be called crazy, among which the strong end of Yinping relied on his own small achievements in the battle of Hanzhong, and then continued to expand his power.
Then the other Lei Ding is also constantly recovering his strength, in Yongzhou, except for Zhang Ji in the state of semi-Zhishi, who still has some prestige, the rest of the people are not the opponents of these people at all.
Entering the city is too guarded by Su Ze has the ability, the generals Hao Zhao and Wei Ping are also considered to be good generals for a while, but the geographical location of the city is special, not only have to deal with the affairs of Yongzhou, but the trouble in Xiliang every other day also gives him a headache.
Therefore, in fact, after Cao Cao's death, many people think that the Cao family has no hope is not really ill-intentioned or that someone is fueling the troubles.
The two places of Qingzhou and Xuzhou, which have been said before, one is more worry-free than the other, Xuzhou Assassin Shi Zangba can almost be regarded as the king of Xuzhou, and his old friend Zhang Liao is not only old, but also really doesn't want to fight him without permission.
Under Cao Cao's acquiescence, the forces in Xuzhou and Qingzhou have been semi-separated, and the current group of people in the court are either helpless against Zang Ba, or persuade Cao Cao to use violence to solve it directly, and even worse, after weighing the pros and cons, they even decided to let Zang Ba go, which has the meaning of raising self-respect.
(PS: Regarding Cao Cao's last years, the author is not talking nonsense about the situation in the north, Cao Cao almost compromised with the family in his later years, and the children of the Han family were constantly abandoned by him, and they were constantly forced by him to retreat, or leave, or simply killed.)
But the family does things too much about their own pros and cons, he doesn't care about the Cao family, what the Principality of Wei, what the big Han, he only cares about his own family, so Zang Ba was still very honest and obedient at the beginning when he got the history of Xuzhou Thorn.
But with the passage of time, his control of Xuzhou became more and more serious, and even when Sun Guan died in the post of Qingzhou Thorn History, without saying a word, he directly replaced Sun Guan to start the management of Qingzhou, and later held Sun Guan's son to the position of Qingzhou Thorn History.
You know, Xuzhou and Qingzhou these two places are different from others, Qingzhou soldiers that are Cao Cao's starting place, the folk customs are unusually unusual, Xuzhou's Danyang elite soldiers are a world-famous army, Danyang is also the world's largest recruiting place, the original Han North and South Army are mainly Danyang soldiers.
During the period when the princes were fighting for hegemony, the small army was fighting for the time being, and the large army was fighting, if it was not the commander, that is, Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Iron Cavalry dared to break hands with Tao Qian's Danyang army, and all the remaining soldiers under the command of the princes were almost all rubbish, of course, it was also because Jiangdong did not make a move.
So when Zang Ba held Xuzhou and Qingzhou in his hands, he was already out of Cao Cao's control, but Zang Ba was very smart, not to mention anything else, he didn't listen to the tune, and he didn't have any disobedience or disrespect to Cao Cao, so it can be said that there is nothing wrong with talking and doing things.
But Zang Ba just doesn't hand over the military power, he will always have enough troops in his hands to strictly defend the Qingxu two states, ensuring that even if he appears in front of Cao Cao, no one will dare to do anything to him, after all, if these two states really make something happen, Jiangdong and Liu Bei will dare to cut off the Central Plains in one fell swoop.
Not to mention that after Qingxu Erzhou, the Yongliang land in the northwest was also in chaos, and Zhang, the Yongzhou assassin who was originally in charge of Yongzhou, was under the blow of the family, and directly followed Cao Hong to Hanzhong, and then although the credit was not small, he was not rewarded, but directly entered a semi-secluded state.
And the more remote Liangzhou, after merging with Yongzhou to form Yongzhou, his Yongzhou assassin history has become a little nameless, and the entire Yongzhou has been divided up by the Yongzhou family, as well as the Di people, Haoqiang and various bandits and horse bandits.
Xiliang is directly cut off from the Central Plains because of the Yongzhou mainland in the middle, and the Silk Road in the Western Regions has been broken for a long time, not to mention, the four counties of Zhangye are almost four times a year, and the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter do not fall, and they can be called heroes.
If the Wuhuan Rebellion that broke out in Youzhou was not for Cao Zhang's ability to fight, I am afraid that even Youzhou would be finished, and the Xianbei people outside the state, the three forces are not lively or not, Cao Cao was dragged by various forces in the Central Plains when he fought in Hanzhong, otherwise with his Cao family's heritage, it would be impossible to consume Liu Bei, who had just gotten Xichuan.
And Xu Du's Liu Xie may also be because he knows that he can no longer have much time in this position, and he doesn't want the bottom line more and more, as long as he can cause chaos to the Cao family, he dares to do anything at this time, and Wei Wei of Yecheng gathered a group of bandits and bandits to attack Yecheng.
When the thieves around Xudu were forbidden by Guan Yu, they were about to rush to the city of Xudu, Sun Wolf was a missing person in the end, and his life and death were unknown, and Hu Xiu, the assassin of Jingzhou, and Fu Fang, the Taishou of Nanxiang, surrendered directly to Guan Yu, it can be said that many states and counties under the command of the Cao family were a mess when Cao Pi took over. οΌ
To get back to the point, after Wu Ban failed in the second interception, he didn't care what he thought, and he didn't care if he wanted to complete the task given to him by the group of people in Yizhou, he had to listen to Ma Chao and unite the local snakes in Yongzhou and the forces of the Di people.
Therefore, Wu Ban came to this valley because there was the only friend he could find, Lei Ding.
In order to be able to recover his power again, Lei Ding did not leave his lair very far, and it can be regarded as giving those clansmen who fled back a chance to find themselves, while accumulating strength, he is also actively contacting allies, Yongzhou now dares to resist the strong end with him, but there are other places.
Lei Ding's strength was greatly damaged because he helped Liu Xuande fight Hanzhong, although he didn't want to deal with Ma Mengqi's fool, but he couldn't break off contact with Han, if he broke off contact with Han at this time, he really had no chance to rise again.
So before Wu Ban went out of Sichuan, Peng Yongnian, a mean-faced guy, went to Linfang, found Ma Chao, and then contacted Yang Wan who took refuge in him through Ma Chao.
I found Lei Ding's current place from Yang Wan, and of course, I also asked for a handwritten letter from Yang Wan, although Yang Wan and Lei Ding were also enemies at the beginning, but after so many years, the grievances and grievances between them have almost been cleaned up, besides, now the two of them can be regarded as the same fallen people.
At this time, Wu Ban was cleaned up by Li Bang in the dense forest, not to mention that the group of thieves under his command have run away now, even if they can still stay, they have already lost their hearts, and they know that if they say a word to Wu Ban, that is, let him not make mistakes and be careful of angering the evil god.
In desperation, Wu Ban could only carry the letterhead in his arms, and then found Lei Ding's hiding place, ready to seek the former and current overlord, the current head snake, to come to Haosheng for advice.
Seeing Lei Ding, Wu Ban did not have the habit of greeting nonsense, and directly told Lei Ding what he should say and what he could say, and then gave Yang Wan's handwritten book to Lei Ding, telling him that this is a friendship from Xichuan, if he can help this time, once this matter is done, then in the future, Xichuan will definitely help him and gain a foothold in Yongzhou again.
Lei Ding looked at the letter silk that Yang Wan gave himself in his hand, in fact, this letter is not very important, it is just some family routine, Yang Wan is to tell Lei Ding that he is doing well under the command of Liu Xuande, the king of Hanzhong, and they are also trustworthy without unloading the mill and killing the donkey, and at the same time, his command has slowly expanded.
"Yang Wan's house is different from a certain family, although we are all losing strength now, but Yang Wan's house is almost the last one, and the Yang family is now left with a little grandson who is still in the world, so he Yang Wan can see whether he is alive or dead.
But a certain family is different, although a certain family is now uneven, but at the beginning, it was also a big boss with seven people, a big leader, even if the tiger falls in Pingyang now, it is not something that idle people can bully, and the most important thing is that there are children under the knees of a certain family! β
Wu Ban looked at Lei Ding and talked for a long time, he really didn't know what he wanted to do, and couldn't help but feel a headache, "Leader Lei Ding, of course a certain family knows your great achievements and great posture back then, and the King of Hanzhong remembers your kindness back then, but what do you mean by what you just said?" β
"The meaning is very simple, the old man doesn't dare to gamble with you Xichuan people!" Lei Ding snorted coldly directly, "I said that I would besiege and defend at the beginning, and then open up the road from Hanzhong to Yongzhou in one fell swoop, and then help my family become the next king of Yongzhou in one fell swoop!" β
Wu Ban is naturally very clear about what Lei Ding said, and he also knows that in the end, Lei Ding made them miserable, or let Wu Lan's fool be very miserable, no wonder Wu Lan finally ran to Yongzhou, and was sold by Lei Ding to his old rival!
However, Lei Ding brought up this matter at this time, which was a bit of a slap in the face of Wu Ban, and it could even be said that in front of Wu Ban, he slapped the faces of all the forces in Yizhou and Hanzhong, and even slapped the face of Liu Xuande, who had just become the king of Hanzhong.
Sure enough, after Wu Ban heard Lei Ding's words, his face suddenly became very ugly, looking at Lei Ding with an arrogant face, Wu Ban's eyes were full of anger, although he was a member of the family, and he also represented the children of the Yizhou family, but he valued Liu Xuande more, because he really regarded Liu Xuande as his lord.
He came here to intercept and kill Liu Xuande's biological daughter, and came here to stop Liu Shen's appearance, maybe he didn't do it for anything else, he just really felt that it was right to do so, in the heart of Wu Ban, or in the hearts of those Yizhou families headed by the Wu family.
In their hearts, they are doing this for the good of Liu Xuande, and also for the good of this nascent force, in their opinion, no one is more suitable than Liu Yong for Liu Xuande's heir, Liu Yong has the following and support of all the Yizhou forces behind him.
And behind Liu Chan there are only a group of old and frail ministers and some people from Jingzhou who have no fixed place, and this difference in strength can almost be found without looking.
In terms of personality, although Liu Yong is young, under the guidance of his mother and mother, he has gradually developed some kingly demeanor, especially in terms of perseverance, he is very good and good.
In comparison with Liu Chan's eldest son, who has been living a life of exile since he was a child, instead of making him more persevering, it made him a little weak and bullied, and the most unacceptable thing is that he is different in martial arts!
As the son of the king of Hanzhong, he doesn't know martial arts, this matter is simply a joke!
Therefore, in the hearts of Wu Ban and other people of Yizhou forces, Liu Yong, the prince of Hanzhong, whom they support, is the most suitable, and the group of people who support Liu Chan, those old ministers are so desperate to support Liu Chan because they really care about their nephew, but what about the people of Jingzhou, they support Liu Chan completely because Liu Chan's character is weak and polite, so they want to make Liu Chan the heir.
Wu Ban came to Yongzhou this time for Liu Yong, but it can also be said that it was for Liu Xuande, the king of Hanzhong, and for their loyal King of Hanzhong.
Therefore, when Lei Ding said such insulting words to the king of Hanzhong, Wu Ban's face became so ugly, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he almost turned his face directly.
"Leader Lei Ding, there are some things that can be said, but some things that can't be said, if you dare to say such brainless words, be careful that someone will take your head off directly!" Wu Ban didn't care at all that he was in Lei Ding's territory now, and he didn't care at all, as if Lei Ding dared to say one more thing that shouldn't be said, he would let this guy blood splash three feet!
"General Wu Ban!" Lei Ding is also an older generation of people who kill people all year round, where will he be such a little guy who doesn't have any hair in his opinion, "You can see where you are now, if you dare to speak disrespectfully, do you believe that a certain family will let you be chopped into meat now?" β
"Then try?" After Wu Ban finished speaking, he actually took two steps forward again, pressed the tip of the knife in front of him with his chest, and pulled out the long knife on his waist.
Looking at this guy who didn't seem to have any fear, Lei Ding suddenly calmed down his angry eyes, and finally even laughed out loud, "You kid, didn't a certain family just talk about some of the past?" Where is it so serious! β
When he spoke, he also let his subordinates put back the knives and guns in their hands, and at the same time, he had walked in front of Wu Ban, not afraid of the long knife in his hand, and then grabbed Wu Ban's arm, "Boy, don't you put away the guy in your hand?" How? Could it be that Yang Wan asked your kid to come here to let you come here, just to let you come to show the guy? β
Looking at Lei Ding, who laughed as if nothing had happened just now, although Wu Ban's face was still not very good-looking, he still obediently put away the long knife in his hand.
"Leader Lei, a certain family is also a general under the command of the king of Hanzhong, we Han people have a saying, call the king to humiliate the minister to death, so I hope that the leader of Lei will forgive me!"
Lei Ding waved his hand, looking completely indifferent, and said very arrogantly, "What a certain family just meant just wanted to discuss with General Wu, after all, the power of a certain family is not as good as before, if you do it for whom because of friendship, then I'm afraid that soon, there will be no place for a certain family in Yongzhou, General Wu said?" β
Lei Ding relaxed his tone, and his attitude became very gentle, and after this, Wu Ban didn't know what to say.
The original incident, everything was wrong, it was Wu Lan's mistake, this is an unchangeable thing, not to mention anything else, just say that Wu Lan turned the army into three parts in order to attack, and before the reinforcements arrived, he took the lead in attacking, and even everyone gave up, which was a big mistake.
Not to mention anything else, just such a thing, Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong, almost fell off the table, originally everyone meant to attack and defend first, after opening the road between Yongzhou and Hanzhong, and then release Ma Chao, a hungry tiger.
With Ma Chao's Yongzhou will be very exciting, and at the same time, it will continue to threaten Guanzhong, forcing Cao Cao to give up Hanzhong, so that Liu Xuande can achieve the goal of a quick victory, and at the same time, he can also turn back to Jingzhou as soon as possible and connect all the territory into a line.
As a result, Wu Lan made the most important mistake in order to attack, otherwise a small argument, where do you need Zhang Fei and Ma Chao to go out in person, this is too much to look up to Cao Hong, the general, even Xiahou Yuan himself does not have this honor.
As a result, Wu Lan's mistake, not to mention that Lei Ding has always been haunted, does he feel that Liu Xuande, the king of Hanzhong, feels good in his heart?
What kind of place is the next debate, the reason why he wants to send Zhang Fei and Ma Chao out in that kind of place is because it connects Yongzhou, especially Ma Chao, this guy who is still better than Lu Bu back then, it is not easy for Liu Xuande to take him back, and now he has to let him out, what courage is this.
Because the target that Zhuge Liang and Fa Xiaozhi gave him at the beginning was too tempting, they conquered the argument in one fell swoop, and then let Ma Chao lead people directly into Yongliang, stirring Yongliang into a mess at the same time, and then cut off the road between Hanzhong and Yongzhou, forcing the Cao army in Hanzhong to rely on Guanzhong.
Then let Zhao Yun rush out of Xichuan, relying on Zhao Yun's ability, he tried to cut off the grain route of Cao Ying in Hanzhong, forcing the Cao family to give up the treasure land of Hanzhong, so that Liu Xuande could get a complete Hanzhong.
After getting Hanzhong, he immediately let Liu Feng and Meng Dabing go out of Shangyong, and after opening the road to Shangyong, Guan Yu attacked Wancheng, Ma Chao attacked Guanzhong in Yongliang, and then Liu Xuande put pressure on Cao Mengde in Hanzhong, forcing Cao to release one of Guanzhong or Jingzhou, so that all the forces under Liu Bei's command were connected into a large area.
How powerful and important this plan is, Liu Xuande was so shaken that he couldn't help but take a direct shot, and directly risked Ma Chao and Zhang Fei to make a move, hoping to win half of the world in one fell swoop.
But Wu Lan's whereabouts were exposed, and before he could make a defense, everyone returned in vain, not to mention, and even directly exposed his purpose, so that Cao Jun rushed directly and quickly into Hanzhong, and even Cao Cao gave up his pride and chose to join forces with Jiangdong.
Then it was not only the battle of Hanzhong, but also the direct sneak attack on Jingnan by Jiangdong LΓΌ Meng, which made several counties in Jingnan directly out of Liu Bei's control, and incidentally made the hatred between Cao Ren and Guan Yu more acute, so that Guan Yu and Lu Su tore their faces, and they really became enemies on their backs.
The final result was that even if Fa Xiaozhi and Huang Hansheng killed Xiahou Yuan on the right side of Hubu Pass in one fell swoop, Zhang Yide dressed up Cao's general Zhang He, and Zhao Zilong even attacked the Hanshui River and burned Cao Cao's grain and grass, but what they got in the end was just an empty Hanzhong.
Lost the best opportunity to unite Yongzhou, lost the three counties of Jingnan, lost the war potential of Xichuan, and finally lost Jingzhou and Guan Yu, if Lei Ding thought Wu Lan's stupidity and his strength was greatly damaged, then Liu Bei almost put his life into it because of Wu Lan's stupidity.
After Wu Ban finished talking about the original story and Lei Ding, Lei Ding was also sluggish, he couldn't believe that such a fool would actually cause so much loss and danger to the famous King of Hanzhong, after listening to what Wu Ban said, Lei Ding couldn't help arching his hand towards him.
"I never thought that guy would let you receive such a loss!" Lei Ding's face became a little embarrassed, but he still didn't let go, "But let's talk about it one yard at a time, that idiot was indeed stupid at the beginning, but now I can't just let me wait for my brother with such empty mouths and white teeth!" β
"What exactly does Chief Redding mean?" Wu Ban looked dead and alive, and he was also a little annoyed in his heart, "Could it be that the leader still wants a certain family to write you a few IOUs?" The reputation of a certain family in Xichuan is good, but the IOU written by a certain family, I am afraid that you can't believe it, Leader Lei! β
Looking at Wu Ban, who was quite annoyed, Lei Ding didn't have any annoyance, but said with a smile, "Where did General Wu say, a certain family is not a seal money, where will you write an IOU or something, a certain family just wants a promise and a token!" β
"Promise? Token? Wu Ban looked at Lei Ding, his face was a little puzzled by what he wanted to do, "I also hope that the leader will make it clear, a certain family doesn't understand what the leader means!" β
At that time, there was a Yongzhou assassin in the city, and a certain family did not find out clearly at that time, and it was a fierce attack that almost injured Lord Zhang.
Now that your king of Hanzhong has taken Hanzhong, but a certain family has offended the people of the Cao family, Zhang Ji has nothing else when he returns to Yongzhou, and the first time is to liquidate a certain family, and look at these brothers under the command of a certain family, they are all calculated by that Zhang, which is like a downfall.
When a certain family tells you this today, it is not that they want you to give an explanation to a certain family or others, but I hope that the king of Hanzhong can see if we can give a certain family a way out in the original defense of helping General Ma Chao and General Zhang Fei to attack and defend with all their hearts! β
"A way out?" Wu Ban probably figured it out at this time, he probably knew what this guy wanted, "You.... Leader Lei Ding, are you thinking of going to Hanzhong? β
Seeing that Wu Ban finally understood what he meant, Lei Ding couldn't help laughing, and kept nodding his head, "What the general said is very true, a certain family is exactly what it means, the general doesn't know it, although Yongzhou is chaotic now, it is already orderly in chaos, and it is a little difficult to achieve something great in Yongzhou!" β
After saying this, Lei Ding continued to sigh in front of Wu Ban, and he had a bad time.
Wu Ban also breathed a sigh of relief at this time, he knew the other party's purpose, and this matter was easier to handle.
"Leader Lei Ding, it stands to reason that if you want to take your brothers to my Hanzhong, of course it would be the best, but Leader Lei Ding, a certain family is just a nobody under the command of the king of Hanzhong, and he really can't be a big man, it's no problem for you to go to Hanzhong, but I guarantee it, a certain family really doesn't dare to give it to you!"
After finishing speaking, Wu Ban smiled at Lei Ding very kindly, showing a really powerless look.
"The general has misunderstood!" Lei Ding interrupted Wu Ban's words, and said very arrogantly, "Where is a certain family who doesn't know what to do, since he wants to go to the realm of the king of Hanzhong to ask for a living, then he naturally has to follow the rules set by the king of Hanzhong, and a certain family will never change this."
All a family wants is you, and the family behind you, a promise to a family, or rather, a family that wants to take refuge in the family behind you, that's the point. β
Wu Ban's face became more hesitant at this time, it was not that he was afraid or anything else, it was no problem for the Wu family to do business with a small Di tribe, or to give more help or help to this Di tribe, so that he would be more prosperous.
But Wu Ban didn't dare to agree to it easily, because this was not only a matter of power, but also a matter of his own lord, if he simply agreed to this condition today, I am afraid that his own lord would not be able to spare himself in the future.
"Leader Lei Ding, it's not that the brothers shirk, the main thing is this matter, it's better to let the lord be the master!" Although Wu Ban said this very politely, there was still a strong sense of shirk, but after hearing this, Lei Ding was not angry, or even unhappy.
"General Wu is too worried, didn't a certain family tell you? A certain family just wants to settle in Hanzhong, but will be a good law-abiding citizen, in other words, I don't want to do anything illegal or powerful, and what a certain family wants is not how much you are towards a certain family in your official career, it is Yang Wan's house, and now they are all under the command of Ma Mengqi, how can a certain family be difficult to be a general!
A certain family just wants a promise, that is, a certain family will go to Hanzhong, and will not receive any reproach from others or be liquidated by anyone, after all, that Wu Lan died on the territory of a certain family in the end! β
Wu Ban was completely relieved when he heard this, if it was anything else, he was afraid that he would have to think about it, but if Lei Ding was afraid that someone would embarrass him because of Wu Lan, it would be ridiculous, I have said it many times just now, Wu Lan's idiot is dead, if he didn't die, Liu Bei would definitely let him live in the end as well as die.
"Leader Lei, if that's the case, then I can high-five now, if it's another day, your Leader Lei takes the Diren tribe under his command to the place of the king of Hanzhong, and no one will be embarrassed by you because of the past, if there is, a certain family will definitely come out for you without saying a word!"
After Wu Ban finished speaking, he stretched out his palm, and there was a sense that he really wanted to high-five him.
Lei Ding was also very happy to see this scene, and he also stretched out his palm, and said loudly in his mouth at the same time.
"Since General Wu has already spoken to this point, then if General Wu wants a certain family to do something, he can directly say that if a certain family has a lie to prevaricate, it is really not a son of man!"
After finishing speaking, Lei Ding's big hand slapped Wu Ban's raised palm three times, and then officially high-fived him as an oath, agreeing with each other!
After that, Lei Ding didn't go out to find a target as anxiously as Wu Ban, even if Lei Ding's power has been greatly damaged now, it is also a famous snake on the ground in Yongzhou, and it is not difficult to find such a guy.
Lei Ding just let out the various characteristics of the person he was looking for, and then dragged Wu Ban to drink, and told Wu Ban that it is good to eat meat and drink wine, and if you are drunk, you can rest for a night at night, and when you wake up, you will find it.
Although Wu Ban didn't believe it, he couldn't resist Lei Ding's pull in the end, and was pulled to the inner hall by Lei Ding, and began to eat meat and drink a lot.
At this time, in the county town of Yinping County, Han Long, who was limping, finally came to his destination.
"You said that you stupid woman, you haven't found a better inn even after you have arrived in the county town, the inn you live in is so remote, so it makes it so difficult for a certain family to find a place!" Han Long kept saying bad things about Mrs. Yan Ji in his mouth, and at the same time reached out and knocked on the wooden door in front of him.
"Who!" Not long after Han Long knocked on the wooden door, a very impatient voice came from inside, "If you don't sleep at night, what are you tossing around, can't you find death?" β
It was full of local accents and irritable words, which made Han Long stunned, he had also lived in Liaodong for a while, and he had always felt that among the many states and counties in the Han Dynasty, the temper of Liaodong people should be the most straightforward and irritable, and there were almost every day when they disagreed.
But he opened his eyes in Yinping today, listening to the tone of his speech just now, it was not something that he didn't wake up and got up or something, it was purely a normal sentence, and even Han Long didn't hear any anger from it, as if it was normal for them to speak in this tone.
"A certain family from the traveling party came to visit the master!" Han Long didn't speak politely, he spoke very kindly, but he didn't directly reveal his identity, "Please take a look at the door, a certain family and the owner here can be regarded as having some origins!" β
Originally, the footsteps that had stopped inside, only after hearing the second half of the sentence, it sounded again, and then soon, the door opened from the inside with a "creak", and I was not afraid of any wrongdoers outside.
Han Long looked at the smiling servant in front of him, and a good smile appeared on his face, and he arched his hand towards the man kindly, "A certain family is from Luoyang, and I have come to visit the master here, please let me know!" β
The servant looked at Han Long, and after staring at him for a long time, he couldn't help but snort coldly, "Is there any token?" β
"If you don't have a token, just say that a certain family is from Luoyang!"
Hearing that there was no token, the servant's face changed suddenly, but it returned to normal in an instant, and his eyes became a little smiling, and he arched his hand towards Han Longye and said, "Little brother, wait here for the time being, and a certain family will go to Tongyu!" β
"Trouble!"
"Oops, you're welcome!" The servant smiled halfway, then closed the door and walked away quickly.
Just now, when Menzi heard Han Long say that there was no token, he was already a little shaken, like them, there are naturally no fewer people who come to visit every day, and there are also people who come to this under various names, so the book is divided into two major situations.
One is a token, this kind of person seems to have a good relationship with the owner here, but in fact it is unfamiliar, and if you want to enter the door, you still need a token, which can only be a perennial meeting, or after the deceased.
Either of these two situations is not worth smiling more now, even if the owner of the family values this friendship, it is a matter of the future.
But this second situation is different, the second is to say that there is no token, this is said, there is no token to find the door, generally speaking, there will be three situations.
The first is that he is too familiar, familiar to twelve hours a day, he can come whenever he wants, he can come how he wants, and he doesn't treat himself as an outsider at all, of course, the master of this house doesn't treat him as an outsider, this is the master in the eyes of the servants.
The second is to have a strong background or extraordinary ability, this kind of person is either looking for the master's family, or looking for an opportunity, but this big night appears, it is really more likely to find the master's family.
Of course, there is a third possibility, that is, this guy is purely a liar, but this kind of person is not nothing, but he underestimates this kind of people's servants, their eyes see every day, what they hear is not how much to describe, what kind of person, what kind of bearing, even if you dare not say that you can see it all, you can also find out eighty or ninety.
So when the servant saw that although Han Long's legs and feet were not very convenient when he walked, this kind of bearing on his body could no longer be disguised, so he simply nodded, understood what his situation was, and hurried in to report it.
Sure enough, Han Long didn't wait too long outside to see the door open again.
The servant who had just gone to report the news appeared in front of Han Long again, and then his face showed a kinder smile, "This son, my master is invited!" β
After the servant finished speaking, he took the lead in leading the way, in order to take care of Han Long's inconvenience, he also slowed down his speed, and at the same time kept gossiping with Han Long along the way, although most of these words were praise and praise, but Han Long still heard a strong sense of inquiry.
However, no matter how exciting this servant was, he didn't want to get any useful words out of Han Long's mouth, but he accidentally said a lot, and the servant who reacted in the end closed his mouth with an embarrassed face, and then led the way in front in silence.
When the two arrived at the main hall, the owner of this courtyard had already changed his clothes and was sitting on the main seat, the hall was brightly lit, and it could be seen that this master also attached great importance to Han Long.
"Han Long has seen the elders!" After Han Long walked into the main hall, he didn't say anything else, but first gave a bow to the master very respectfully, expressing his solemnity.
"This gentleman is excused!" The owner is a middle-aged man who is not very old, and he looks very majestic and mighty, but he is wearing a Confucian robe, although he is dressed very upright, and his body is also very clean, but he always looks a little nondescript.
"This gentleman, I still hope that a certain family is a little clumsy, I don't know who you are, a certain family doesn't seem to have seen your Excellency, just sent someone to report, saying that you are from Luoyang, and a certain family doesn't seem to have any friends in Luoyang!"
Looking at the smiling master's house, Han Long's face also brought out a smile.
"It's true that the elder has never seen a certain family! Of course, a certain family has never seen an elder! β
"That's... What do you mean by being here, gentleman? Or rather, what kind of character are you? β
Han Long took out a small waist card from his arms, held it in his hand and showed it to the master, and said again, "Han Long, the school office, I have seen the leader of the strong end!" β
