Zhao Yueru heard that she could go to the capital to offer a sword, but it was indispensable, anyway, she was not pleasing to Wei Qing now, and she went to the capital to see her out of sight and out of mind, not to mention that it was a good thing to see the emperor, so Wei Qing wrote a petition letter in her own handwriting, asking the emperor to personally investigate General Wu Ming's "forgery of military orders", and Zhao Yueru went to the capital with a sword and letters.

On this side, Wei Qing has already reorganized the team and is ready to continue to move forward and go straight to Dingxi.

Dingxi, located in the central part of Gansu, north and Lanzhou, Baiyin two counties connected, east and Pingliang, Tianshui County adjacent, south and Longnan County, west and Gannan, Linxia County junction, under the jurisdiction of Anding, Tongwei, Longxi, Lintao, Weiyuan, Zhangxian, Minxian seven counties, since ancient times is the Silk Road town, but also the east gate of Lanzhou County, only 100 miles away from Lanzhou County.

Now Dingxi belongs to the Xia Shang period divided into the "Yongzhou" land, for the Xirong tribe to live, there are Di Rong, Rong Xiang Rong Qiang, etc., each of them scattered in the nomadic valley area has its own monarch, not unified, Dingxi can belong to the Han Dynasty, but it has to be said that it is the credit of the Qin Dynasty.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, in the tenth year of Qin Wugong, Qin Fa lived in the middle and upper reaches of the Wei River, Ji Errong, set up Tai, Ji two counties, now Tongwei County in the south, Longxi County in the east for the jurisdiction of Ji County.

In the thirty-seventh year of Qin Mugong, Qin opened up its territory and expanded its territory, dominated Xirong, Qin forces reached the Tao River Basin, controlled the Xirong tribe, Qin continued to open up westward along the Wei River in the first year of Qin Xian, and the soldiers were in Weishou, destroying Di and Rong, and the upper reaches of the Wei River to the Tao River basin were the jurisdiction of Qin.

Qin Xiaogong appointed Shang Yang to change the law, the national strength was strong, and Qin Xiaogong was in the territory of Qin for seven years, "and all the small towns gathered, and gathered as a big county".

In the twenty-seventh year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Qin "made Sima send Longxi by mistake, because Shu attacked Chu and Qianzhong, and pulled it out", and the name of "Longxi" began to appear in the annals.

Qin Zhaoxiang King 28 to 35 years began to place Longxi County, the county governed Di Dao, the whole territory of the current Dingxi region is under the jurisdiction of Longxi County, Longxi County is the beginning of the county in Dingxi.

Qin Shi Huang 26 years, unified China, the territory of the Qin Dynasty west to Lintao Qiangzhong, divided into 36 counties, the county under the county, at that time, now Dingxi is still under the jurisdiction of Longxi County, the county governs Didao, Longxi County governs Didao and other seven counties.

Qin died and Han Xing, Han inherited the Qin system, Han Gaozu got Longxi County in the second year, and Dingxi was owned by Han.

According to the information obtained, Dingxi City is more beautiful than Tianshui, although the number of defenders is slightly more ----than 40,000 people, but it is still a disadvantage compared with the 100,000 Han army, at this time the sandstorm has stopped, the Han army left behind the ironclad vehicles and other heavy weapons have been transported, attacking Dingxi, there should be no big problem.

This time, the Han army moved forward steadily, and it was not only a day, but it had reached the city of Dingxi.

As soon as the army set up camp, Wei Qing and the generals came to observe the defense of Dingxi City.

Everyone looked at Dingxi City, and everyone looked surprised.

"Who's the guide?" Ma Chao was the first to ask: "How could you lead the wrong way!" ”

"This guide may not have led the wrong way, or it may be a spy of the Jin Army, who deliberately led the wrong way!" Mulan said angrily.

"I'll call the guide and ask!" Chen Qingzhi said on the side.

Wei Qing waved his hand to stop everyone, and sighed: "No need, this is Dingxi City, General Bai told me about this city yesterday, he used to come!" ”

Everyone was speechless for a while, since Bai Buxin had come to this city, it seemed that it was not that the guide had led the wrong way, but that this was really Dingxi.

The reason why everyone is so controversial about whether this city is Dingxi is very simple, the current Dingxi is too different from the Dingxi mentioned in the intelligence.

The intelligence said that the Dingxi city wall is low, not as good as Tianshui, but in front of you, where is this city wall low, the height of the city wall is about the same as that of Huainan County, which Wei Qing defended back then, but a closer look can see that the masonry is not a color, at least three colors with different shades, obviously this city wall is not created at one time, but the result of many additions later.

However, regardless of whether it is added many times or not, the fact is that the high walls of Dingxi City are thick, and it is by no means low.

The defenders are also different, the intelligence says that there are 40,000 defenders, but only in terms of the current defenders in the city, they are densely packed, and it is roughly estimated that there are 60,000 or 70,000 people, but it is different from the "40,000 defenders".

On the city wall, the branches and branches are protected by countless wooden stakes, and you can vaguely see the accumulation of rolling wood, stones, strong bows and crossbows on the side of the wall, so the city defense, where can it be easily attacked.

Bai Buxin was dealing with military affairs in the back, and it wasn't until all the generals had observed for a while that he came to the front of the battle, looked at Dingxi, and looked at Dingxi, with a look of disbelief: "Who is the defender of this city, who can build this city so strongly, and mobilize so many people to join the army, what a fierce enemy!" ”

Wei Qing also frowned deeply, he didn't expect that this Dingxi, which was originally said to be so easy to take, would actually become like this.

"Someone's coming!" Chen Qingzhi said.

Everyone looked forward and saw a Jin army general waving a white flag, riding alone and heading straight for the Han army.

Wei Qing was secretly curious in his heart, seeing that this situation should be what news the Jin army guards in Dingxi were going to pass on to him, but now that the soldiers were approaching the city and were about to reach the edge of the trench, what else could they talk about, and if they wanted to talk, they had to use the weapons in their hands to talk about it.

"Bring him to me!" Wei Qing ordered.

After a while, the general of the Jin army came to Wei Qing, the general saw that the uniform was a thousand-hundred-mile commander, his expression was quite nervous, he was sweating on his forehead on the horse, and his body couldn't stop shivering, and the first thing he said when he saw Wei Qing was to say eight words in stammering Chinese: "Two, the two countries are fighting, no, don't cut to eat!" ”

Wei Qing chuckled, it was just a matter of the two countries fighting each other becoming a war between the two countries, anyway, the meaning was almost the same, but what did "don't cut to eat" mean, could it be that he was here for dinner.

He comforted, "We know this, and tell me what message your Lord will want you to bring." ”

The centurion shuddered and took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Wei Qing.

Wei Qing took the letter and saw that there was not a word on the envelope, and the envelope was not sealed, so he took out the letter paper and looked at it.

I saw a line of Chinese characters written crookedly on the letter:

"With me, Dingxi will never belong to the Han people!" The following inscription is: Dajin State Marshal Zamuhe.

Wei Qing's heart suddenly tightened.

Zamuhe, Zamuhe, he seems to have almost forgotten this name, since the battle of Fengyang, Wei Qing knew that Zamuhe was his brother Wei Yong, and he really couldn't accept this fact in his heart, now that he thinks about it, if it wasn't for Zuo Ci to release Zamuhe at that time, Wei Qing really didn't know how to deal with it, killing him naturally couldn't do it, but letting him go was not in line with the law and reason, it was really a dilemma, and Zamuhe, his brother Wei Yong, the identities of these two people actually overlapped, and Wei Qing couldn't deal with it, He didn't know whether he didn't think about it intentionally or really forgot it unintentionally, in short, for a long time, Wei Qing no longer thought about Zamuhe, but people are not as good as heaven, Zamuhe actually guarded Dingxi, and Wei Qing is now about to take Dingxi, as a result, Zamuhe, Wei Qing, these two enemies met again.

Wei Yong, brother, your name is Wei Yong, you are not called Zamuhe.

Wei Qing's heart shouted silently.

Bai Buxin saw the words on the letter on the side, and his face sank like water.

He knew what Wei Qing was feeling, but he didn't understand what Zamuhe was doing.

As a Han man, he was forcibly taken away by the Jin people when he was a child, and his family was separated, and when he grew up, the Jin people let him be a general to lead the army to attack the Han people, the purpose of this is very clear, and it is also very vicious, Zamuhe did not know his secret before, so it is understandable that he is dedicated to working for the Jin people, but now he has known his secret, it is clear that the Jin people have harmed his life, but he still has to work for the Jin people, which really makes Bai Buxin incomprehensible.

Wei Qing suddenly stretched out his hand, took out the gold medal that he had collected closely, and handed it to the centurion of the Jin Army: "Give this thing to your master general, and say that Wei Qing will return his original thing!" ”

The centurion wanted to take it but didn't dare to take it, and he looked embarrassed for a while.

Wei Qing stuffed the gold medal into the centurion's hand and asked, "What's your name!" ”

"I, my name is Ma Bufang!" The centurion replied.

All the generals were stunned.

"Ma Bufang!" Wei Qingqi said: "Are you a Jin or a Han!" ”

"I'm a golden man!" Ma Bufang's expression changed suddenly, and he replied with a serious face: "My parents are Han Chinese, but they abandoned me, if it wasn't for the Jin people to save me, I would have been dead for many years now, so I am now a Jin people, complete Jin people!" ”

Wei Qing sighed.

He didn't know whether to scold Ma Bufang or forgive him.

Water, drought, locusts, waterlogging, the land of the Han Dynasty is not all blessed by God, on the contrary, every year there will be many places affected, every year there will be many people displaced, unfortunately, although some people can not afford to raise their own children, but they do not want to pay attention to having fewer children, so every year many children are abandoned alive.

So, if these children took refuge in the Jin people for their own lives, is it right or wrong, can you ask these innocent children to starve to death rather than join the enemy, and whether these children who defect to the enemy for their lives should be considered traitors or lucky ones, Wei Qing really can't figure it out.

"There you go!" Wei Qing waved his hand.

Ma Bufang saluted, slowly brought back the horse, suddenly turned around, and said loudly: "I'm not a traitor, I just want to live, you Han people have said, the country doesn't know the people, the people don't know the country!" ”

"No one said you were a traitor!" Wei Qing looked at Ma Bufang, and suddenly felt a little pity for him in his heart, he always thought that he was a Han among the Jin people, but among the Han people, he resolutely maintained his Jin identity, no matter where he was, he has always been an outlier, he himself knows this, so he desperately wants to seek the approval of others, Ma Bufang's heart, I am afraid that it is very entangled.

Ma Bufang heard Wei Qing say this, a trace of joy appeared on his face, and then he tried to cover it up, and Gu did snort disdainfully: "It doesn't matter if someone says it or not, I can understand it myself!" ”

Then he urged the horse to go to the city.

Remember to read it: convenient for next time, or.
