Chapter Eighty-Five: Command
After sending Lin Hang away, Jiang Wei turned to everyone and asked, "CD is thousands of miles away from here." If you want to wait for reinforcements to come, at least more than a month later. There are only more than 1,000 soldiers in Zigui City, and they still need external assistance. I heard that the barbarian tribes in the mountains of Wuling in the south of Zigui are brave and good at fighting, do you know anyone? ”
Wen Bu exchanged a look with Deng Kai, and said: "The villain's family has some business with the barbarians, and he is familiar with the chiefs of several barbarian villages, but the barbarians are greedy for money......"
What Jiang Wei was waiting for was their statement. Historically, when Lu Xun's Xie Jingbu captured Zigui City, there were thousands of Han soldiers in the city, and Chen Shou's "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" contained "the beginning and the end of the West", which shows that there must be someone in the city who can mobilize the barbarian force.
On the occasion of survival, Jiang Wei interrupted: "It's okay, the barbarians are greedy for money, we have to borrow strength, and both sides take what they need." At present, dozens of carts are coming behind them, containing gold, silver, cloth, silk and wine, which were originally consolation materials, and all of them will be given to them at that time. If Zigui City had been preserved, he would have told the king of Hanzhong and given him a generous gift. ”
Wen Bu immediately bowed and said, "In this way, the grass people should be able to borrow hundreds of barbarians." ”
Jiang Wei arched his hand and said: "There is Brother Lao Wen in this matter, and after the matter is completed, I should show you the credit to the King of Hanzhong." ”
Wen Bu was overjoyed when he got the promise, and hurriedly said: "It's a villain's luck to be able to contribute to the big man." Well, in fact, the villain runs a few more villages, and more than 1,000 people can't borrow it. The general will take care of it, and I will go to prepare it immediately, and it will be returned within three or five days. At that moment, he pulled Deng Kai to give Jiang Wei a salute and left quickly.
Jiang Wei turned to Zhan Yan and said, "County Magistrate Zhan, please also count all the materials in the city overnight, especially grain and grass, armor, arrows, and medicinal materials, and then transport them all to the city office for hoarding. ”
Zhan Yan hesitated: "This matter is not difficult. It's just that the grain and grass in the city are limited, and there is not much left for Guan Junhou's military use, which is barely enough to support the garrison in the city for one month. If a thousand barbarians enter the city, the subordinate is afraid that it will not be enough. ”
Jiang Wei said without hesitation: "Immediately in the name of the government, borrow money from Wenbu, Deng Kai and other big households, and repay it in the future." Since they are willing to borrow troops, it shows that they are willing to bet on the king of Hanzhong, and they will not refuse to do small things. When the king of Hanzhong led the army to come, the crisis was eliminated. ”
Zhan Yan showed an expression of sudden realization, bowed down and said, "Xia Guan understands, let's go and prepare." After saying that, he also bowed and turned to leave.
"County Lieutenant Chen!"
When Chen Feng heard Jiang Wei's summons, he hurriedly stepped forward and replied with his fists cupped: "Humble duty, please give orders from the general!" ”
Jiang Wei looked at the county lieutenant who had been silent before, and said in a deep voice: "As the county lieutenant of this place, you have the most important responsibility. From tonight, we must order all the troops and horses, be on guard day and night, and repair the fortifications in the city to ensure that nothing goes wrong! In addition, when a thousand barbarian soldiers enter the city, they also need to be supervised by you and have unified jurisdiction, understand? ”
Chen Feng heard that his responsibility was so heavy, and sweat was already oozing from his forehead under nervousness, and while wiping the sweat, he replied: "Humilly... Humble obedience. ”
When Jiang Wei saw him like this, he knew that this person was unreliable. Historically, Zigui had thousands of soldiers, but they were still quickly conquered by Xie Jing, which shows that the defenders are indeed not talents.
In fact, it is no wonder that Liu Bei had already taken away a group of talents from Jingzhou when he entered Shu; Zhuge Liang rushed to Liu Bei's aid and took another batch with him; The only remaining Jing Xiang Junjie was in Guan Yu's Northern Expedition army at this time. Therefore, most of the people who stay in the second-tier land are mediocre people, with more than enough achievements and insufficient progress.
However, Ziguicheng is very important, it is not only his own retreat, but also a springboard for future reinforcements to go eastward, and it must not be lost for a while. Jiang Wei couldn't rest assured, so he immediately summoned Shen Feng and instructed: "Ziguicheng is very important, I will leave you here to assist County Lieutenant Chen, you must hold on until the reinforcements arrive, or wait until Jun Hou succeeds in breaking through, do you understand?" ”
Shen Feng said loudly: "The last general will be ordered!" ”
Jiang Wei nodded and said to Chen Feng: "General Shen Tun is proficient in military affairs, and his martial arts are also very strong, so you must discuss with him more when you encounter problems." With him, Zigui should be safe. When the reinforcements come, I should show you credit to the king of Hanzhong. ”
Although he said this tactfully, it was also sharp. The implication is that Shen Feng is the main general who defends the city this time, and he wants Chen Feng to obey him more; But at the end of the words, he drew a big cake for Chen Feng. Under a slap and a jujube, Chen Feng no longer had a temper, and replied respectfully: "I must cooperate with General Shen well." ”
Jiang Wei was very satisfied with his statement, and ordered a few more words. Shen Feng and Chen Feng were about to leave, but Jiang Wei grabbed Shen Feng and whispered in his ear: "When it is extraordinary, use thunder methods." All you have to do is defend the city, no matter what means you use in the meantime. All responsibilities afterwards will be borne by Ben. ”
When Shen Feng heard this, his body was shocked. He was flexible in his mind and understood that Jiang Wei was not worried about the officials here, so he was allowed the right to act cheaply.
He knew that he was shouldering a heavy responsibility, gritted his teeth and nodded slowly, and spit out four words: "People are in the city!" "Take it in stride.
"Xiaoxing!"
"It's finally my turn!" Jufu waited for a long time, and at this moment, he heard the call of the main general, and immediately clenched his fists and said loudly: "The end will be!" Please Jiang Zuocheng order! ”
Seeing that he looked gearing up and eager to try, Jiang Wei nodded imperceptibly and said, "Xiaoxing, you go and gather the brothers, have a good meal, and then wash your feet with hot water." Then he found the magistrate of Zhan County and asked him to prepare five days of dry food for each of his brothers. Half an hour later, lead the brothers to the north gate to gather! ”
"The last will be ordered!" After receiving the order, he strode away.
The brothers and sisters Guan Xing and Guan Yinping on the side saw that although Jiang Wei was young, he was not chaotic in case of trouble, and if the command was determined, they all assigned everything one by one in an instant, and they all felt very admired, and the panic in their hearts was slightly reduced.
Especially Guan Xing, he has been good at martial arts since he was a child, but he is not very good at coordinating and commanding, and at this moment the six gods have no master, and inadvertently regard Jiang Wei as the backbone of this room.
Seeing that everyone was taking orders one after another, Guan Xing couldn't help but hurriedly said, "Boyo, what should I do?" ”
Jiang Wei turned to the brother and sister. In fact, the position of the two of them is very embarrassing. Needless to say, Guan Yinping is a woman, Guan Xing, as the second son of Guan Yu, the head of Jingzhou, is a valuable status, and it is impossible to succumb to him.
But Guan Xing's martial arts are outstanding, and he grew up in Jingzhou since he was a child, and he is familiar with the geography of Jingzhou.
Jiang Weiluo groaned, and he was excited, so he said slowly: "You are the sons and daughters of the king, and your status is precious, so stay here and wait for the reinforcements to arrive." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Guan Xing suddenly slammed his fist into the wall, making a muffled "poof" sound. Blood burst out from his hands, startling Guan Yinping on the side.
Guan Xing's face was red, his eyes glared at Jiang Wei, and he forcibly suppressed his anger and said: "On that day, Mr. Ji Chang advised me to come back early, and I felt that something was wrong...... Along the way, you left your baggage behind and hurried day and night, and I really thought I was a child and didn't know it? Now that the matter has come to this, you still have to think about my identity and safety......"
He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "If you talk about martial arts, Hugh said that Jufu, Shen Feng and others, even you Jiang Boyo may not be able to defeat this big knife in my hand." If I don't need it this time, I'll go to Maicheng single-handedly! Even though... Even if you can't save your father, you are worthy of your father's teachings, and you don't lose the word loyalty and filial piety! ”
Jiang Wei did not back down, and continued to agitate: "An Guo is loyal and martyred, which is admirable. It's just that the situation has collapsed, and the rescue of the prince is like a chestnut in the fire, and you can't make a wrong step. You are the second son of a prince and a prince, and your status is honored, if you and I disagree and cause a big thing, isn't it a sin? ”
Guan Xing gritted his teeth and said: "If you have a way to rescue your father, I, Guan Xing, would like to take your head as a horse!" ”
Jiang Wei's eyes burned, stretched out his right palm, and said, "A gentleman's word!" ”
"Whip the horse!" Guan Xing also stretched out his right palm and struck him.
At this point, the two of them were relieved.
