The king of Western Wei, who had newly taken over Hedong, was lucky, and after personally surveying the ruins of the Wei palace in the city of Anyi, it was only on the morning of the next day that Sima Wei, the king of Henan who was canonized by Xiang Yu, sent his confidant Cheng Lian as an envoy to Anyi to negotiate with Wei Bao on the specific matters of alliance and trade, and offered to establish more extensive and in-depth friendly ties with Wei Bao, and to exchange goods and materials, and to complement each other in military affairs, so as to join forces to resist Xiang Kang, a hungry wolf temporarily imprisoned in the Guanzhong Plain.

Sima Wei took the initiative to show favor to the Wei State, and his purpose was nothing more than to covet the supply of salt in Hedong, as well as the important geographical location of Hedong County, and wanted to use the Wei army to provide buffer protection for the Cuihan Road, and if necessary, to attack Guanzhong through the Hedong, everything was for his own interests, and he actually did not have much good intentions for the Wei army.

However, Sima Wei, who got half of the main force of the Zhao army, was strong and strong after all, and the control area was directly bordered by Wei Bao's control area, which was one of the most important allies that Wei Bao had to fight for, and now the Wei army and the Han army were in hand, and Wei Bao was in urgent need of Sima Wei's assistance and support, so after receiving the news, Wei Bao not only applauded with great joy, but also personally led the Wei army out of the city, and politely invited Sima Wei's henchman Cheng Lian into the city to sit down.

Cheng Lian, who already roughly knew the situation of the Wei army, also knew very well what Wei Bao wanted, and did not have a few polite words with Wei Bao, Cheng Lian took the initiative to shift the topic to the current Hedong war, and clearly told Wei Bao: "Please rest assured that the King of Wei and I are cold, our King of Henan will not sit idly by and ignore the urgency of the war in your country, and after the foreign minister returns, he will definitely make every effort to persuade our king to send troops to Hedong as soon as possible to help your country resist the attack of Xiang Kang's thief army." ”

"Thank you Mrs. Cheng, with Mrs. Cheng and your army's righteous help, the widow can finally sit back and relax."

When Wei Bao heard the great joy, he hurriedly thanked Cheng Lian continuously, Cheng Lian modestly said that he didn't have to, and this only meant that Sima Wei put forward various conditions for alliance and trade with the Western Wei State, but fortunately, Sima Wei's several conditions were not too harsh, just requiring the Wei army to stand fleet for Sima Wei's army at the three ferries of Shaanxi County, Puban and Xiayang was excessive, but in order to obtain Sima Wei's assistance, Wei Bao still agreed without thinking, and signed his name on the covenant on the spot.

Ended the negotiation that both the guest and the host were very satisfied, according to the usual practice, Wei Bao in addition to ordering the wine and food to entertain Cheng Lian, and called some beauties to Cheng Lian singing and dancing, the rather lustful Cheng Lian was also revealed, and soon took a fancy to the two most outstanding beauties, and praised their singing and dancing, Wei Bao understood, and immediately asked the two beauties to toast Cheng Lian, and instructed them to serve Cheng Lian to rest, Cheng Lian was overjoyed and thanked, and the banquet just ended and couldn't wait to return to the residence with the two beauties.

Or after Cheng Lian said goodbye and left, Wei Bao's cousin Zongzheng Wei Youcai said very unhappily: "Why does the king have to be so tolerant of a foreign minister, and personally arrange for a woman to serve his diet and daily life?" ”

"The form is not up to people, and the big husband can only bend and stretch." Wei Bao himself didn't care very much, and suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked Wei You: "Brother, do you remember Wei Yu who took the initiative to defect to us when you were in Chudi?" Did she and I come out of five suits? ”

"Wei Yuan?" It took Wei You a lot of effort to think of himself and Wei Bao's distant relative, and then smiled: "It's not just a five-suit?" Seven suits and eight suits are out, if it weren't for the fact that the first king (Wei Qi) recognized her as a relative when he was in Linji, she would not be qualified to be on the genealogy of our Wei royal family. ”

"That's good." Wei Bao suddenly smiled, and immediately remembered the beautiful daughter of Wei Yuan he had seen yesterday.

It stands to reason that it was just past noon at this time, and Wei Bao didn't have to worry even if he had that thought, but it just so happened that Wei Bao drank a lot of wine when he received Cheng Lian, and his mind was very hot, so when he returned to the back hall to rest, his heart was itching, so Wei Bao simply sent someone to send a message to Wei Yuan, asking Wei Yuan to immediately send her daughter to his residence and let him talk to his distant cousin.

After a while, the guards outside the door came in to report that Wei Yuan's daughter Bo Zhanzhi had been brought, and that Wei Yuan had also come with a dead face, and that she would follow her daughter in to meet Wei Bao. Wei Bao, who was leaning on the couch and letting the two beauties wash their feet, was very dissatisfied when he heard this, and ordered: "Tell Wei Yuan to wait outside, and only bring her daughter in." ”

According to Wei Bao's instructions, after a while, Bo Zhanzhi, who made Wei Bao covet, was led into the room, completely opposite to the character of his spicy and cheeky mother, Bo Zhanzhi still looked timid and shy, and after entering the room, he would only salute, and he didn't dare to say a word timidly. Wei Bao also liked Bo Zhanzhi's weak appearance, and said with a smile: "Sister Bo doesn't have to be polite, just go in, let Brother Wang take a closer look at you." ”

Hearing this, Bo Zhanzhi's pretty face turned red directly to the base of his neck, not only did he not step forward, but also subconsciously took a step back, Wei Bao smiled when he saw it, and ordered everyone next to him: "You all go out, the widow has something to say to Bo Mei alone." ”

Guess with your toes what Wei Bao wants to do, the guards and maids in the room didn't dare to sweep Wei Bao's excitement, and immediately retreated according to the order, Wei Bao was also in his original form, stayed on his own, walked in front of Bo Zhanzhi with a full body of wine, stretched out his hand to lift Bo Zhanzhi's chin, and said with a lewd smile: "Bo Mei is so beautiful, the more carefully you look at it, the more moving it is." ”

Bo Zhanzhi was like an electric shock, and immediately dodged Wei Bao's dirty hands, and said tremblingly: "Wang, the little girl is your relative of the same clan, you ......." ”

"It's just the same clan, but it's not a relative." Wei Bao said with a smile: "The widow has already asked, and we have already had five suits between us, and we are not relatives for a long time." ”

"But." Wei Bao dragged out his voice again, and said with a lewd smile on his face: "Sister Bo, if you are willing, the widow can get closer to you and let your mother directly be the widow's aunt (mother-in-law)." ”

Bo Zhanzhi was completely panicked, quickly took a few steps back, and said even more tremblingly: "King, what do you want to do?" ”

"What is the widow going to do, Sister Bo, you still don't understand?"

Wei Bao couldn't hold back any longer, and was about to hold Bo Zhanzhi into his arms when he pounced, but Bo Zhanzhi hurriedly dodged and screamed: "King, don't you do this!" The little girl has already made a promise! ”

"Who did you give it to?" Wei Bao sneered and said, "Tell the widow, who is your future husband?" The widow himself went and said to him, "Let him give you to me, but the widow will see if he has the courage to refuse." ”

Bo Zhanzhi blushed and didn't dare to speak, while Wei Bao laughed wildly, and pounced again, "Don't dare to say? You're welcome! ”

Bo Zhanzhi was no longer able to dodge this time, and after being hugged by Wei Bao, Bo Zhanzhi had no choice but to follow the instructions of his mother Wei Yuan, and hurriedly shouted: "Great King, the little girl was promised to the right general of the Chu State, which is the current Han King Xiang Kang." ”

Wei Bao was almost about to kiss the lips on Bo Zhanzhi's face, and asked with a dumbfounded exclamation, "You were promised to Xiang Kang that traitor?" ”

Bo Zhanzhi hurriedly nodded, and hurriedly said according to Wei Yuan's instructions: "Uncle Zhou personally wrote a letter to make a matchmaker, and my mother also replied and agreed, but the King of Han had already led his army south at that time, and he was unable to send the little girl to the King of Han. King, please for the sake of the little girl's future husband, for the sake of the Wei country's Jiangshan Sheji, let the little girl go. ”

Wei Bao's mouth opened wide completely, and after coming back to his senses, Wei Bao temporarily let go of Bo Zhanzhi, and calmly asked Bo Zhanzhi and Xiang Kang about their acquaintance, but after Bo Zhanzhi answered truthfully, Wei Bao not only did not choose to give up, but also smiled more and more hideously, nodded and said: "Okay, good, I didn't expect that Xiang Kang's little vertical woman would happen to fall into the hands of the widow, and the widow is not polite now." The widow wants to let Xiang Kang's little vertical know what kind of fate it will be if he dares to send troops to attack me! ”

With a cruel smile, Wei Bao, who hated Xiang Kang so much that his eggs hurt, pounced again, and directly tore Bo Zhanzhi's clothes, Bo Zhanzhi screamed loudly, desperately shouting for help, and the result was also a miracle, at this time, the door was suddenly pushed open, and the captain of Wei Bao's personal army, who was hanging the title of Lang Zhongling, rushed in and said loudly: "King, urgent military situation!" ”

"Get out!" Wei Bao, who had the brain of the sperm worm, yelled, "The widow doesn't listen!" Whoever dares to come in and disturb again will be killed! ”

The captain of the pro-soldiers hesitated, subconsciously withdrew from the door and closed the door, Wei Bao continued to tear the clothes on Bo Zhanzhi's body, but when the door was about to close, Wei Bao's pro-soldier captain couldn't help but say, "King, it's really a hundred thousand urgent military information!" Our main force was defeated at Duitai, almost all the troops were annihilated, General Zhang Zhi fled back to Anyi with his wounds, and I want to see you immediately! ”

Before the captain of the pro-soldier finished speaking, Wei Bao had already turned around quickly and yelled in disbelief: "What did you say? Our main force was defeated at the platform and almost completely annihilated?! What about Bai Zhi and Feng Jing? What do they eat? ”

"Back to the king, General Feng Jing died in battle." The captain of the pro-soldier replied tremblingly: "General Bai Zhi is nowhere to be found, and it is estimated that he is also more than lucky. ”

With a plop, Wei Bao fell directly to the ground, his eyes rolled and he breathed out more and less breath, which frightened Bo Zhanzhi and screamed again, Wei Bao's personal soldiers also rushed into the room, shouting and supporting Wei Bao, rubbing his chest and pinching people, it took a lot of effort to wake Wei Bao up. As a result, after coming back to his senses, Wei Bao immediately howled hysterically and madly, "Bai Zhi Pifu, Feng Jing Pifu, the widow was killed by you!" The main force of the widow, the old book of the widow! I was defeated by the widow in one battle! ”

After a hysterical roar, Wei Bao pointed at Bo Zhanzhi, who was hiding in the corner of the room and crying, and shouted with red eyes: "Lock up this woman, lock up her mother, so that she can give me a good life, they may still be useful!" Besides, immediately convene a hundred officials and go to the main hall to discuss matters! ”

There is no need for Wei Bao to order, because Zhang Zhi, the general of the Wei army, fled back to Anyi City with more than 20 cavalry in broad daylight, and the so-called 100 officials of the Wei State had already rushed to the so-called Wei Bao Palace to listen to the news. And after Wei Bao hurriedly boarded the main hall, the wine on his body had already been swept away, and he didn't pay attention to Wei Jun's civil and military salute, but shouted: "Immediately bring Zhang Zhi to the widow!" ”

In a moment, Zhang Zhi, whose face was covered with sweat, dust and blood, was escorted to the main hall, and as soon as they met, he fell down in front of Wei Bao and cried, and repeatedly pleaded guilty, Wei Bao was anxious and angry, and yelled: "Shut your mouth!" Don't cry! Say, what the hell is going on?! ”

Zhang Zhi barely suppressed his crying, sobbing and carefully reported the before and after the defeat of the main force of the Wei army to Wei Bao, the Wei army civil and military forces present were all shocked when they heard it, and shouted bitterly in their hearts, Wei Bao was even more like ashes, and said fiercely after a while: "Okay! Good! The widow is really blind, I can't imagine that Uncle Zhou's horseman has such ability, and he can completely outnumber the main force in one battle, and he doesn't even give our Wei army a chance to escape! No wonder Xiang Kang Xiao'er attaches so much importance to him, not only chasing him for dozens of miles alone when he was in Pengcheng, but also relying on him! The widow is gone, and the widow is really gone. ”

Saying fiercely, Wei Bao suddenly overturned the case table in front of him and yelled: "The traitor Uncle Zhou, you dare to attack the mother country so viciously!" If you don't kill you, a traitor, it will be hard to eliminate the hatred in the hearts of the widows! ”

No one dared to echo Wei Bao's words, or after Wei Bao's violently undulating chest gradually stopped, Zongzheng Wei Youcai stood up and said cautiously: "King, the main force of our army has been defeated, Xiang Kang's thief army will definitely take advantage of the victory to pursue, and soon the army will come to the city of Anyi, how to deal with it, please make a decision as soon as possible." ”

Wei Bao was silent, and then suddenly roared: "Go and invite the envoy of the King of Henan immediately!" Again, send fast horses to the north, and ask Zhang Han, Sima Xin and Dong Fei to immediately return to the south to reinforce Anyi! Tell them that as long as they can help the widow survive this difficulty, the widow will agree to them no matter what the conditions! ”

Wei Jun Wenwu hurriedly agreed, and immediately followed the order, only the main secretary Yang Xi stood up and said cautiously: "King, although asking for help is also a way, but far water can not quench the thirst of the near, now the defenders of Anyi are only three thousand, and the city is dilapidated and old, in disrepair, it is difficult to keep it for a long time, in order to plan for a rainy day, the king had better make other preparations." ”

"What else do you need to prepare?" Wei Bao asked angrily.

"Weichen believes that we are now ready to retreat, and if necessary, we should abandon Anyi and retreat to other places to regroup." Yang Yu said more carefully: "The second preparation is that if the situation is really wrong, surrender to the ......, to the ......, and to the Han army." ”

Wei Bao glared at Yang Xi angrily, his eyes almost erupted with fire, and he said word by word: "Do you want the widow to lay down his arms and surrender to Xiang Kang Xiao'er, who is not yet twenty years old?" ”

"King, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with age, does it?" Yang Yu trembled and said, "Prince Qin, haven't you also surrendered to the King of Han?" ”

"Shut up!" Wei Bao rudely interrupted Yang Yu and yelled: "You dare to compare the widow with the son of the tyrannical Qin king, what kind of person do you think of the widow?" ”

Yang Yu didn't dare to persuade him again, so he could only quickly kneel down and kowtow desperately, but unfortunately Wei Bao was on fire, and he didn't pay attention to his pleading, dismissed him from all his positions on the spot, and asked the guards to beat his temporary palace with a stick, and then shouted: "It's all for the widow to listen to!" In the future, who will dare to persuade this king to surrender to Xiang Kang Xiao'er, and there will be no mercy! ”

The Wei army hurriedly agreed, but most of them made up their minds on the spot, planning to wait for the Han army to break through Anyi and enter the city, and he would immediately surrender to the Han army with his whole family, and never give Wei Bao a burial who did not listen to good advice. Wei Bao roared constantly, first ordered to recall all the troops stationed outside the city, and then ordered to immediately start repairing the city defenses, forcibly conscripting young men and women in the city to enlist in the army to prepare for war, and use all military supplies to defend the city.

After another period of time, Cheng Lian, Sima Wei's henchman who had only received Wei Bao's two beauties at noon, was invited to Wei Bao, and after learning the news that the main force of the Wei army had been wiped out, Cheng Lian was not only not surprised, but also showed a little joy in his eyes, and then after a little calculation, Cheng Lian asked again: "Dare to ask the King of Wei, where is the King of Jin (Sima Xin) and the King of Dai (Zhang Han) where their troops have arrived?" ”

"Counting the distance, it should have crossed Pingyang." Wei Bao replied, "If the messenger sent by the widow before successfully contacts them, and they also return to the division and head south immediately, they should already be on their way back from Pingyang to Shizuoyi." ”

"Zhang Han and Sima Xin's gang of puppets are not stupid, seeing that there is a advantage to take advantage of, it is estimated that they will not refuse Wei Bao's request for help." Cheng Lian came to a conclusion in his heart, and then said: "Then the king doesn't have to worry too much, if it goes well, your army only needs to hold on for three or five days, and the Jin King and the acting king and their reinforcements can return to the division to save Anyi, with their help, and when the reinforcements sent by our king arrive in Anyi, there will definitely be no problem." ”

"When will your reinforcements arrive?" Wei Bao couldn't wait to ask.

"Half a month!" Cheng Lian replied categorically: "The foreign minister will return to Luoyang now to report to my king, and ask my king to immediately send troops to reinforce Hedong, at most half a month, our reinforcements will definitely arrive in Anyi!" ”

When Wei Bao heard the great joy, he hurriedly thanked Cheng Lian again and again, and took out a valuable gift to thank Cheng Lian, Cheng Lian accepted it unceremoniously, and said: "King, although the situation is critical, the rescuers from all walks of life will arrive one after another, and I hope that the king must see the situation clearly, and don't be deceived by Xiang Kang's lies and have other thoughts, so as not to regret it for life in the future." ”

"Please rest assured." Wei Bao gritted his teeth and said: "Anyi is the old capital of my Wei Kingdom, where countless ancestral tombs are located, Wei Bao I swear to live and die with Anyi, the city is in the people, the city is dead!" ”

"Then the minister will be relieved." Cheng Lian nodded, then he said goodbye to Wei Bao, and hurriedly returned to Hanoi with Wei Bao's letter asking for help, and went to ask for help from the powerful Sima Wei for Wei Bao - and also asked Sima Wei to quickly send troops to Hedong to pick up the big bargain.

Wei Bao's luck was indeed good, and at noon the next day, the 20,000 Han troops led by Zhou Shu had just arrived on the outskirts of Anyi City, and the Wei army messenger who had been sent to contact Zhang Han and others returned to Anyi City, reporting that Zhang Han and Sima Xin and others had accepted Wei Bao's request for help and were rushing with their troops.

Wei Bao was overjoyed when he heard the report, but he didn't dare to be completely reassured, after a little calculation, Wei Bao decisively ordered: "Send a messenger to contact Uncle Zhou, and show affection for him, just say that I have the intention to surrender, but I am worried that Xiang Kang Xiao'er will not tolerate me, I dare not make up my mind, and beg him to come forward to beg Xiang Kang Xiao'er for a pardon document on my behalf, as long as Xiang Kang Xiao'er personally promises not to kill me and the Wei soldiers and officials who surrendered, I will immediately lay down my arms and surrender in Kaicheng." ”

"The king wants to use a delaying tactic to buy time for our reinforcements?" Henchman Wei You guessed Wei Bao's intentions, and said, "What if Uncle Zhou refuses to be fooled?" ”

"Give it a try, that puppet is our old minister of Wei, for the sake of the old, maybe you will be fooled." Wei Bao replied with a glimmer of hope, and said: "By the way, by the way, I will tell Uncle Zhou that the daughter of the Wei Sect who he promised to Xiang Kang Xiao'er as a matchmaker is in our hands, as long as he agrees to intercede for me, I will release him immediately, and let him use beautiful women to please Xiang Kang Xiao'er!" ”
