The rise of Ye Zhao is still very inspirational for people in this era, born in a poor family, worshiped a famous teacher since childhood, and at the age of sixteen, he went out to guard the border fortress, and in two years, Wen Neng governed the place, and ran a small city with a household of less than 3,000 into a big city with a household registration of more than 10,000 people.

In fact, up to this time, although what Ye Zhao did was big enough, but the popularity was only spread in the secluded place, Zhao Wei knew Ye Zhao, it was at that time that he knew, in fact, at the beginning, Liu Yan had the intention to take Ye Zhao under his banner and send the third son to replace Ma Cheng, although he also had the intention of helping the third son Zhang Mu, but Ye Zhao got the position of captain of Wuhuan, and Liu Yan was also the driving force behind the scenes, as long as the time was ripe, Liu Yan would throw an olive branch to Ye Zhao.

It's a pity that it backfired, Liu Mao's death actually had little to do with Ye Zhao, which Liu Yan himself knew, but sometimes, people's emotions would be greater than their reason, and the pain of losing a child also made Liu Yan disgusted with Ye Zhao, and the intention of soliciting was gone, and he even secretly supported Guo Xun's suppression of Ye Zhao at that time.

Then, Ye Zhao was transferred back to the Central Plains, and then there was a bit of hanging, not to mention the governance of the place, if it was just a good case, Ye Zhao's promotion would not be so fast, but the subsequent Yellow Turban Rebellion became the foothold for Ye Zhao to ascend to the sky in one step.

The Yellow Turban Thief seems to be powerful, but Ye Zhao is a famous general who has been dealing with the Hu people at the border all the year round, those seemingly exaggerated achievements, in fact, in Youzhou, many people who know Ye Zhao's past, it is not surprising, the 50,000 Yellow Turban Thieves in Youzhou are not also beaten by Liu Yan.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion, for Ye Zhao, who is in the Central Plains, is just a big stage to give full play to his ability, and the times make heroes like this, and then Ye Zhao was promoted all the way to Luoyang as an official, entered Liu Hong's vision, and won Liu Hong's attention, and the first battle of Muye made Ye Zhao completely a figure that could not be ignored in the Han world.

In fact, when Liu Yan sent him to guard Baishui Pass, Zhao Wei already had a faint feeling that when Ye Zhao entered Hanzhong, he would seek Shuzhong, and it was inevitable that he would collide with Ye Zhao.

If it is said that before Liu Hong's death, Ye Zhao was a loyal minister, then after Liu Hong's death, Ye Zhao's various inactions, let any Jin, Dong Zhuo manipulate the Son of Heaven, you can see that Ye Zhao has his own ambitions.

He can't be willing to live in Hanzhong, Zhao Wei once thought that after Ye Zhao consolidates Hanzhong next, I'm afraid he will use troops in Shuzhong or Sanfu, and now it seems that Ye Zhao finally chose Shuzhong, to get Shu land first, and then sit and watch the world.

Prior to this, in order to meet the fierce battle that could come at any time, Zhao Wei worked hard to strengthen Baishui Pass, trained soldiers, hoarded all kinds of materials to defend the city, and personally led people around Baishui Pass to check whether there were any omissions and flaws.

Many times, after really working hard, you will understand what despair is!

Now Zhao Wei is this feeling, the battle between the two sides is not at the same level at all, the air force is too advanced for people in this era, for the time being, there is no effective way to deal with it, can only be beaten, if there is enough vertical space, there may not be no way to deal with it, the thing is not flying high, if you can set up a giant crossbow and fire a salvo, it may not be able to shoot down, but in a relatively narrow place like Guancheng, especially on the city wall, there is not much space for them to go deep, specifically to deal with this thing.

Ye Zhao sent people to recruit him to surrender in Zhao Wei's expectation, the battle has reached this point, in fact, even if he doesn't surrender, it's useless, the city wall has been taken by others, and the back road has been cut off, even if he doesn't surrender, I'm afraid that the soldiers under the tent will also surrender.

One Death to Full Loyalty?

This kind of thing, Zhao Wei didn't think about it, he is Liu Yan's old department, and he is loyal to Liu Yan, which is true, but he can't do it if he wants to interpret this loyalty with his own life.

He is not only Liu Yan's courtier, but also an important member of the Bashu Zhao family, he still has a family to take care of, and a family that needs him.

didn't agree to Ding Li immediately, because Zhao Wei heard another meaning from Ding Li's words, Ye Zhao needed him to help seize Ba County, if he really did this, it would be tantamount to completely betraying Liu Yan, which made him hesitate, surrender is one thing, but immediately after surrendering, he turned around and attacked the old master, and it was a big blow to his reputation.

No matter how resistant Liu Yan is to use a large number of Dongzhou scholars to oppress the Shu sergeants, but after following Liu Yan for so many years, it is a little unkind for him to completely break with Liu Yan.

"General, the Hanzhong envoy is gone!" Deputy generals Pang Le and Li Yi came in from outside the door, looked at Zhao Wei with a worried face, and bowed down.

"Hmm." Zhao Wei just nodded and continued to ponder, he can be said to be at the end of the road now, life and death are only between Ye Zhao's thoughts, and the descent is definitely down, but whether Ye Zhao's potential conditions are agreed to completely join Ye Zhao's warship is the main reason why he is hesitant now.

"General......" Pang Le and Li Yi did not leave, looking at Zhao Yun and stopping to speak.

"What?" Zhao Wei looked at the two of them and asked with a frown.

"Many soldiers in the army have secretly surrendered to the Hanzhong army, and although we have sent people to stop them, many people have fled over there." Pang Le bowed.

"Don't stop me." When Zhao Wei heard this, he waved his hand a little frustratedly.

It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married, this kind of thing has long been expected by him.

"Now that our army's back road has been cut off, and the danger has been lost, the last general thinks that it is ......" Pang Le glanced at Zhao Wei cautiously and said: "It's better for me to wait and descend together, that Ye Hou is a big Han horse, and the official may not be much lower than that Liu Yan, and since Liu Yan entered Shu, he has persecuted my Shu sergeant in every possible way, so that now the people in Shu are resentful, and the general surrenders at this time, and the Shu sergeant will only applaud and applaud, and will never embarrass the general." ”

When Zhao Wei heard this, he looked up at Pang Le, then at Li Yi, and sneered: "The two of you came to me to persuade me to surrender?" ”

"Not bad!" Pang Le gritted his teeth and said: "The general trend has been decided, and our stubborn resistance will only increase the casualties, these soldiers are all sons and daughters of Shuzhong, how can the general bear their innocent death?" ”

"If I don't want to, I can't!" Zhao Wei sighed and shook his head.

"Why not?" Li Yi said in a deep voice: "The general has been guarding the pass so far, and he has never owed any debt to Liu Yizhou, but how did Liu Yizhou treat the general?" As a general, he was reduced to a border guard, how thin it was. ”

Zhao Wei shook his head, how could this stake be so simple, looked at the two of them and said, "The two of you also think that they should surrender?" ”

"The general forgives the sin!" Pang Le and Li Yi bowed.

"That's it! Tomorrow the sun rises! Zhao Wei took a deep breath and said.

"The general is wise!"
