Outside the Weijia Castle, the war horses neighed, the war drums rumbled, and the 40,000 soldiers of the Central Army shouted in unison: "Wash the Wei family with blood and save the lord!" The momentum shook the sky, and everyone in the Wei family turned pale. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wei Qi hurriedly bowed to the ground and kowtowed to Jin Liang vigorously: "Please also ask the general to spare my Wei family!" ”

Jin Liang stepped forward to help Wei Qi and said softly: "For your sake, the rest of your Wei family can be forgiven." But your second brother is really confused this time, and he will not be forgiven for doing such a rebellious thing! Even if I want to forgive him, I am afraid that the other auxiliary ministers of the cabinet, 200,000 central troops, 300,000 tuntian soldiers, 500,000 county and county soldiers, and 5 million subordinate people will not be able to forgive him! ”

Wei Qi said sadly: "It's just that my uncle has a son, and there is only one son of Zhongdao under his knees, if Zhongdao dies, I am worried that my uncle will not be able to withstand the blow, and he will die, if my uncle dies, my old father is weak and sick, I am afraid it will be difficult to live for a long time, and please look at the dignity of Taishi Cai, for the sake of my Wei Qian's thin face, spare my second brother's life for the time being!" ”

Jin Liang was furious, and without saying a word, he strode towards the gate of Weijiawu Fort.

Wei Qi hurriedly walked to the wall of the dock fort and said to Jin Liang who was walking towards the city gate: "If the general agrees to spare my second brother's life, my Wei Qi will worship the general as the master, and at the same time, my Wei family will contribute half of the revenue of the salt pond in Hedong to the general; If the general doesn't agree to forgive my second brother, I won't have the face to see my uncle again, so I will jump off and be gone! ”

Jin Liang stopped, looked at the thousands of dead soldiers of the Wei family standing behind the city gate, and looked at Wei Zhong with a resolute face, knowing that if he did not agree to forgive Wei Zhongdao. Wei Qi jumped from the city. You will never be able to get out of this door. After all, without the Red Rabbit Horse and the Stone Dragon Knife in his hands, it would be difficult for him to resist the thousands of fierce Wei family dead soldiers and the more than 5,000 family soldiers hidden in the Wei family castle.

Jin Liang thought again, even if he spared Wei Zhongdao temporarily, with the degree of tuberculosis, it would be difficult for him to survive for a year, so why should he have a battle of will with this dying man. It's better to treat this forgiveness as a transaction and exchange it for the benefits you want from the Wei family!

Thinking of this, Jin Liang waved his hand and motioned for Wei to come down.

Wei Qiteng descended the city wall, walked quickly to Jin Liang's side, and saw that Jin Liang's expression was no longer as angry as just now, so he smiled and said, "Lord, have you spared my confused second brother?" Since Jin Liang decided to spare his second brother, he went along the river to worship Jin Liang as his father-in-law.

Jin Liang's expression that had just eased suddenly became cold again, and he said in a deep voice: "It's not difficult for me to spare Wei Zhongdao. I need your Wei family to promise me a few conditions! ”

Wei Qi arched his hand and said: "As long as I can spare my second brother's life, my Wei family can promise the lord everything!" ”

Jin Liang smiled coldly: "Boru." Don't talk so much, listen to me first, and it's not too late for you to think about it! The first condition is that all the guards and guards who participated in the murder of me must be handed over to me! ”

Wei Qi nodded hurriedly: "This is no problem!" ”

Jin Liang said again: "The second condition, hand over the immediate family members of all those who have participated in this matter to me!" ”

Wei Qi knew that Jin Liang had always been cruel to the enemy to the point of cutting off people's heirs and messing with people's wives and daughters, he was a little disgusted with this at first, and then he thought about it carefully, the heroic and strategic heroes of all dynasties and dynasties were all ruthless people, born in troubled times, and there was no mercy to gain a foothold, Jin Liang's ruthlessness was very necessary, so he nodded: "This is no problem!" ”

Jin Liang looked around the entire Weijia Castle and couldn't see that Du Xiuniang, so he asked, "Where is that Du Xiuniang?" She was also involved in the conspiracy! You're going to hand her over to me too! ”

Wei Qi hurriedly explained: "The lord doesn't know, that Du Xiuniang is not only innocent, but meritorious!" ”

Jin Liang asked in surprise, "Why did Boru say this?!" ”

Wei Qi replied: "Lord, when Li Fu, Li Hun and Hua Kai set this plan, I heard that the lord had mentioned Du Xiuniang in Cao Cao and Qin Yi's faces, but my Hedong Wei family has a beautiful singer named Du Xiuniang, then Li Fu somehow, he insisted that Du Xiuniang of my Wei family is Du Xiuniang who is admired by the lord, and because the lord once persuaded Cai Taishi Cai Wenji to delay the marriage with my second brother Zhongdao, Zhongdao hated the lord to the core, so Li Fu set up a series of schemes, and first went to persuade Wenxi County Ling Wei Yan, Under the leadership of Wei Yan, he entered the Wei family castle and deceived Zhong Dao, who forced Du Xiuniang to participate in the plot to frame and murder the lord.

Du Xiuniang admired the lord's literary talent and martial arts very much, and couldn't bear the lord being murdered by those traitors, so she reminded her again and again with her eyebrows during the banquet, but the lord was infected with the wind and cold and drank a few more glasses of wine, so he didn't see it.

Later, the lord was dragged to the Weijia castle by them, Li Fu, Li Hun, and Hua Kai, the three traitors in Longyang, saw that their plan to assassinate the lord was about to be completed, and I was afraid that Du Xiuniang would leak the news, so she would kill people and kill her mouth, Du Xiuniang was smart and clever, and discovered their murder early, and inadvertently saw my cronies secretly spying on the three traitors, so they asked me for help, I got the whole truth of the matter from her mouth, I suspected that these three traitors were using my second brother to achieve their ulterior purposes, Concerned that the safety of the lord is related to the survival of my family and country, he sent someone to secretly help the lord loosen the tie, and also sent someone to secretly ambush in the dungeon. ”

Jin Liang nodded with relief and satisfaction, I knew that a beautiful woman would not be cruel to a handsome man like me.

Wei Qi observed his words and looks, seeing that Jin Liang's expression was so distracted, knowing that this lord had a deep disease of widowhood and lustful addiction, Wei Qi knew it in his heart, so he smiled and said: "Lord, that Du Xiuniang is talented and beautiful, it is a singer cultivated by my Wei family since childhood, and she was originally going to give it to the second brother Zhongdao as a concubine, since Zhongdao made such a big mistake, and the lord likes that Du Xiuniang so much, why don't the lord accept that Du Xiuniang?" He was greatly ashamed of Wei Jiaodao's thoughts, and pretended to excuse himself: "How can a gentleman win people's love!" ”

Wei Qi shook his head again and again: "I can't hide it, my second brother Zhongdao is seriously ill and inhumane. Du Xiuniang still maintains a perfect body! Such a beautiful woman. Leave it to my second brother. Isn't it a tyrannical thing! Besides, my second brother should be severely punished for committing such a disrespectful crime against his lord, and consecrating his concubine to his lord is a punishment for him, and it is also what he should do to make up for his crimes! ”

Jin Liangzhi was very happy in his heart, Wei Zhongdao, Wei Zhongdao, you have a literary name in vain. offended Lao Tzu, not only did you not get Cai Wenji, but also let you lose Du Xiuniang, so that you couldn't get anything, so that you could only vomit blood and die of grievance!

Although Jin Liang's heart blossomed, his face was very indifferent: "Since your Wei family is so sincere, I will be disrespectful!" ”

At this moment, the shouts of the 40,000 central troops outside the city became louder and louder, and the thunderbolt cars began to gather momentum, and Huang Zhong rode out of battle. Pull up the bow and aim it at the head of the castle of the guards. A series of arrows were fired, shooting down the five Wei family members who leaned out from the head of the city and looked down.

Huang Zhong put away his bow and arrows, waved his phoenix mouth knife, and shouted loudly: "Give your Wei family a quarter of an hour, send my lord out, if there is a delay, our central army will definitely attack the city quickly, if it enters the city, it will definitely wash the Wei family in blood, and the chickens and dogs will not be left!" ”

Wei Qi climbed to the top of the city, looked at the 40,000 central army below, his face was like earth, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Lord, what other conditions do you have, you might as well say it all, I will agree to it all, just to protect the lives of my Wei family!" ”

Jin Liang saw that Wei Qi had lost his usual composure, so he opened his mouth and said, "There are three more conditions

First, transfer your Wei family's entire share of the salt pond in Hedong and all the wasteland under your Wei family to the Tuntian Corps of the Central Army;

Second, all the soldiers of your Wei family will be included in the county soldier system of Hedong County, and the officers will be uniformly trained and commanded by the Central Army;

Third, all the children of your Wei family will be summoned to the Central Army, and I will interview them in person, and those who pass must serve in the Central Army. ”

Jin Liang's three conditions must be ruthless, one is to be rich, the second is to be soldiers, and the third is to be talented, if these three points are mastered by Jin Liang, the Wei family will also be firmly grasped by Jin Liang, and the Wei family will be completely tied to Jin Liang's chariot for world domination.

Wei Qi thought about it for a while, and then agreed to it all.

Jin Liang looked stunned, he originally thought that Wei Qi would deny them all, because his three conditions were all for his Wei family's life, so he asked, "Boru, why don't you think about it more?" ”

Wei Qi laughed loudly: "Lord, you look down on me Wei Qi too much!" Since the lord in Luoyang fame, I began to pay attention to the lord, the lord more and more show a generation of male lords, the future can be the Han dynasty of the world must be the lord, since I have been so sure, why not pour out the family property, in order to help the lord of the great cause!

Han Hao has great political talents, and the Tuntian Corps under his command will be able to ensure that the central army has no worries about food and clothing, and is wholeheartedly prepared for war. ”

Jin Liang was a little stunned: "I heard that the salt produced in Hedong Yanchi can supply half the world, and the annual revenue is not less than 5 billion, why do you Wei family only have such a little?" ”

Wei Qi sighed: "The lord doesn't know, this Hedong salt pond is a hundred miles away, there are hundreds of salt farms, and there is a family behind each salt farm, not only from Hedong County, but also from Luoyang City, Bingzhou, Jizhou and other places, my Wei family is medium among so many families." ”

Jin Liang laughed and said, "There are still powerful families in Luoyang City who own salt farms here?!" ”

Wei Qi understood what Jin Liang meant, and hurriedly said: "My lord, my subordinates are very clear about the salt farms owned by those families who are attached to Dong Thief in Yanchi, Hedong, as long as the lord orders those salt farms to be confiscated as official camps, and his subordinates are willing to lead the way and point out those salt farms." ”

Speaking of this, Wei Qi suddenly thought in his heart, since he was dedicated to the lord to contribute to the great cause of Zhongxing Han, those families did not want to occupy the country's resources for personal gain and then premeditated against the central army, so he gave his hand and said: "My lord, now the Yellow Turban Yu Party has not been cleared, Dong Zhuo's thieves have risen again, and the common people have been displaced, and the princes of the Quartet have violated the imperial court, refusing to pay taxes, and the imperial court lacks financial resources, I am afraid that it will not be able to resettle the displaced people. The salt tax is used to buy farming tools and cattle, and supply them to the displaced people, so that they can resume production and rebuild their homes as soon as possible! ”

Jin Liang patted Wei Qian on the shoulder: "Your Yanchi official's plan is indeed good, but it is too early to implement it now, and we have to wait for us to exterminate Dong Zhuo." The surrounding area of Luoyang was controlled. Restrain the rogue families who have appropriated the country's resources in vain. It is good to implement this policy of the Yanchi government, otherwise the external troubles have not been eliminated, the internal troubles have already arisen, and the internal worries and external troubles are attacking each other, and I am afraid that the imperial court and the central army will be overwhelmed. ”

Wei Qi admired: "The lord has thought it through. ”

Jin Liang asked again: "You haven't answered my question completely, I don't quite understand, why are you so willing to agree to my three seemingly extremely harsh conditions?!" ”

Wei Qi smiled heartily: "As for the family soldiers, you have also seen it." My Wei family soldiers seem to be as strong as cattle, but my Wei family since the ancestor Wei Qing has a lack of generals, the accumulated family soldiers because there is no capable person to command the training, but a group of rabble, don't look at us We have more than 5,000 soldiers, real battle, it is estimated that the central army can not resist 500 elite soldiers, can only fight against the white wave thieves who plundered Hedong, protect Weijiawu Fort is not lost. Since their combat effectiveness is so low, it is better to hand it over to the Central Army for training. can also better defend the homeland, and in this way. It will also help the children of our clan to increase their military literacy, and if they are lucky, they can produce a few generals.

What about talents, the lord said that all the elite children of the Wei family should go to serve in the Central Army, some people may think that the lord is going to take the elite children of the Wei family as hostages, but I don't see it that way, when the lord is fair, the ability is more important than the family background, no matter how ugly my Wei family and the lord have been, if the children of my Wei family have talents, the lord will still entrust him with important tasks. This is what I value the most, as long as the lord can appreciate the children of my Wei family, even if my Wei family dedicates all the family property to the lord for hegemony, when the lord succeeds, my Wei family will be able to get several times and dozens of times the harvest. ”

Speaking of this, Wei Qi realized that his last sentence was a little disrespectful, and hurriedly bowed down and apologized: "Wei Qi has been taking care of the family camp for a long time, and his words inevitably have some businessman's atmosphere, please forgive me!" ”

Jin Liang laughed and said: "Boru, my ancestor Buwei was able to become the prime minister of Qin because of his assistance to Chu, the prince of Qin State, if you think that I am a strange commodity to live in, then help me in large quantities, and I will not disappoint your Wei family in the future." ”

Jin Liang remembered what he had seen and heard in the Wei family's dungeon, and he had a big pimple in his heart, on the surface, he trusted Wei Qian, but secretly he was still quite wary of the Wei family. Wei Qi didn't know what Jin Liang was thinking, and seeing the lord laughing so unscrupulously, his originally tense nerves also relaxed, and urged: "Lord, the central army's siege of the city is imminent, please come forward to stop it!" ”

Jin Liang hurriedly climbed to the head of the city of Weijiawu Fort, looked at the 40,000 central army under the city, and shouted loudly: "Iron and blood prosper the great man, only my central army!" ”

His vocal range is very wide, his voice is very loud, the four thousand men and horses in the front of the Central Army can all hear it clearly, and the rear army of the Chinese army can also be faintly heard, when they look up and see Lu Bu Kuiwei's body standing at the head of the city, although he is gray-faced, but he is in good spirits, according to the rhetoric of the previous military parade, he shouted in unison: "Jin Liang among the people, Red Rabbit among the horses!" ”

Jin Liang first bowed down and gave a salute: "Soldiers, I, Jin Liang, because of my arrogance and carelessness, mistakenly fell into the poisonous plan of Wenxi County Ling Weiyan and other traitors, and was trapped for a few days, so that the soldiers of the three armies ran for me alone, and I affected everyone because of one person's fault, I am here to apologize." Jin Liang hereby swears that Jin Liang will never make such mistakes again, and if he makes them again, he should do so! As he spoke, he took his Talisman Seven-Star Treasure Knife from Wei Qi's hand and cut off a handful of his hair.

In this period, the parents of the body hair and skin can not be cut, Jin Liang cut the swear, it is a very heavy oath, the soldiers of the three armies were moved, originally they were all dissatisfied with Jin Liang's pride and carelessness, and they were a little dissatisfied with the lust and wisdom, but seeing Jin Liang so vow to change the past, they were relieved, and the soldiers of the three armies shouted in unison: "The lord is wise!" ”

After Jin Liang made an oath, he took back the Seven Star Treasure Sword, and laughed loudly: "Soldiers, this incident can be described as a blessing for Sai Weng!" I have suffered for three days, but I have this great talent, Wei Boru, and at the same time the strong support of the Wei family of the Hedong clan, my central army has the support of the Wei family, and we will definitely be able to quickly pacify Hedong County and drive away Dong Zhuo's eagle claw Yang Ding's department! ”

Jin Liang pointed at Wei Qi and said to the soldiers of the Central Army under the city: "This time I was jointly designed and murdered by Wei Zhongdao, the second son of the Wei family, Wei Yan, the commander of Wenxi County, Li Su's younger brother Li Fu, the Xianbei people of Liaoxi, and the people of Runan, Hua Kai, etc., thanks to the help of Wei Boru, the son of the Wei family, I was able to save the day!"

Wei Boru was well aware of the righteousness, and had already killed his relatives in righteousness, beheaded his cousin Wei Zhongdao and his brother Wei Yan, and at the same time promised to hand over the Wei family's salt works in Yanchi, Hedong and all the wasteland of the Wei family to our Tuntian Corps, promised to hand over all the family soldiers to the management of the Hedong County Lieutenant under our Central Army, and promised to send all the elite children of the Wei family to serve in our Central Army.

The Wei family is sincere, I have decided to forgive the Wei family, I don't know what you think? ”

The soldiers of the Central Army, who were originally angry, heard Jin Liang say this, the Wei family can retreat to this extent, the lord is safe and sound, and the Central Army has gained great benefits in this, and they can no longer ignore people, so they shouted in unison: "Let the lord fall!" ”

Wei Qi couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and asked quietly: "Lord, didn't you say that you spared my second brother, why did you go back on your word?!" ”

Jin Liang pointed at Wei Qian's head, and said with a smile: "Boru, why are you so open-minded!" You look at the soldiers of the Central Army below, all of them are angry and kill at your doorstep, trying to find the culprit Wei Zhongdao, even if I say spare Wei Zhongdao, can the soldiers of the Central Army take it in their hearts, sooner or later they will still find Wei Zhongdao to find your Wei family's bad luck, it is better for you to find someone within the family who looks like Wei Zhongdao to die for him, as for Wei Zhongdao, you have to hide it well, I don't want to hear any more news from him, oh, the marriage with Cai Wenji, he Wei Zhongdao should stop being delusional, Unless he can resist the wrath of my 200,000 central soldiers! ”

Wei was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Thank you for your magnanimity, not only did you not kill the second brother, but also thought so much about his survival." Please rest assured, my lord, I will definitely send someone to take good care of him and keep him from coming into contact with any outsiders! ”

Jin Liang smiled coldly: "Then have you found a hiding place for him?" ”

Wei Qi shook his head: "I haven't thought about where to put him yet?" ”

A trace of hatred flashed in Jin Liang's eyes, and he smiled indifferently: "Your Wei family's dungeon, I have lived for a few days, the environment is very quiet, no one disturbs, why don't you place Wei Zhongdao there!" When it came to the last sentence, Jin Liang's tone was very solemn.

Seeing Jin Liang's expression and tone, Wei Qi knew that his hatred for Wei Zhongdao was far from being eliminated, this time it was just for the sake of his Wei family's submission and his Wei Qi's face, otherwise Wei Zhongdao would be afraid that it would be difficult to survive even if he had ten lives, so Wei Qi hurriedly agreed.
