Yu Bin sighed and said, "The matter has come to this, what if you don't accept it?" ”

Wei Shuo said lightly: "I thought you were all smart people, but now it seems that ......"

"If you are still unwilling to accept the conditions of Hexi, you will not be reluctant, and you will immediately send your majesty back to Wancheng, as if nothing had happened."

After speaking, Wei Shuo got up to leave, and Yu Bin hurriedly shouted: "Your Highness stays!" We are willing to accept all the conditions of His Highness. ”

Wei Shuo looked at him with a smile and said, "Figured it out?" ”

Yu Bin secretly scolded himself for being a fool, at this time, how could Han Haoqiang be qualified to bargain with King Yong.

If he hesitates for a while, he can only go to collect the corpses of his uncle and others.

So, Yu Bin didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and immediately said: "I figured it out!" We are willing to agree to all conditions of Your Highness. ”

"Can you call the shots?"

"Yes!"

"Before coming, I have been promised by Wei, Yu, Pei and other family heads that as long as Hexi is willing to send troops, the minister can promise any conditions for everyone."

Wei Shuo sat back again, having dealt with the family for so many years, what else did he not understand about the family's virtues?

To put it bluntly, the families are arrogant and arrogant, and they are going backwards without leaving.

Unless they are in a desperate situation, they will never bow their heads easily.

If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to take Nanyang with the help of Han Haohao, Wei Shuo would not care whether they lived or died.

"After the Battle of Weishui, Nanyang has been stable for more than ten years, and I don't want anyone or force to undermine the stability of Nanyang."

"I hope that the people of Nanyang can live and work in peace and contentment, and I believe that you and Gu have the same idea."

Yu Bin was not stupid, so he naturally understood the deep meaning of King Yong's words, and nodded busily: "Your Highness is right, no one likes war." ”

Wei Shuo nodded with satisfaction, and said: "After Hexi pacified the Shu Rebellion, he also reached an agreement with the Shuzhong family. ”

"The Shuzhong family is willing to hand over the land and settle in Chang'an in the north, and I hope that the Han Dynasty will be the same."

"The lowly rank is willing to obey the orders of His Highness." Yu Bin said bitterly.

Perhaps because he felt that the persecution was too much, in order to prevent everyone from jumping off the wall in a hurry, Wei Shuo began to draw cakes and make wishes for Yu Bin.

Wei Shuo said in a gentle tone: "Before this, Gu had been in contact with the Guanlong family, the Hedong family, and the Bingzhou family, and he also knew where the core interests of the Er and other scholars were. ”

"But to sum it up, it's nothing more than the word money power."

"In terms of money, this time you need to hand over your land and slaves, which is a huge loss."

"But you don't need to worry, everything you are experiencing now has been experienced by the Longyou and Bingzhou families."

"But now when you look at them, are they deflated and destitute? No! ”

"But in just a few years, those families that once lost a lot have all re-emerged, even better than before."

"As long as you abide by the rules of Hexi, I believe that with the background of your family, there will be a rise sooner or later."

"In addition, presumably Yu has also heard that the imperial examination is prevalent in Hexi."

"There is no distinction between high and low in the imperial examination, only based on talent, as long as you have real talent and real learning, are you afraid that you will not be able to pass the examination?"

"And the imperial examination once a year, it is an opportunity, and it is an important way for you to integrate into Hexi."

"In short, Gu hopes that the merger of Han Haoqiang into Hexi this time is a win-win action."

Next, Wei Shuo chatted with Yu Bin a few more words, trying his best to appease the other party's emotions.

After all, Yu Bin is the liaison between Hexi and Nanyang, and if he has a grievance, it will not be conducive to Hexi's next actions.

Fortunately, Yu Bin has recognized the facts, and he doesn't blame Hexi for taking advantage of the fire to rob.

……

In the second year of Longan, in the second half of the first month, King Yong reached a compromise with Yu Qian, the representative of Han Haoqiang, in Wuguan.

Then 12,000 Hexi Iron Cavalry left Wuguan and rushed to the southeast, trying to enter Wancheng before Feng Cai's army.

The time had gradually come to the next morning, and the west gate of Wancheng was crowded with people.

Hundreds of people were waiting eagerly and anxiously for the arrival of the Hexi Army.

The cold wind was bitter, rolling up bursts of stumps and leaves, and a few sighs kept coming from the crowd.

At this moment, a group of soldiers suddenly ran from the south gate, and the leader shouted: "The enemy army is less than twenty miles!" ”

Knowing that the Jingzhou army was about to come to the city, the city was in chaos.

And some people knew that they would not be spared, so they were so frightened that they sat on the ground and wept.

Others did not want to sit still and ran out of the city, preparing to flee elsewhere.

Just when there was chaos, I saw someone pointing to the official road to the west and shouting: "Hurry, look, there are cavalry coming!" ”

Countless people looked into the distance when they heard this, only to see dust flying in the distance, and the sound of rumbling horses' hooves coming from far and near.

The first thing that caught everyone's eyes was a sun and moon battle flag, waving in the wind under the rising sun.

"It's the Hexi Army!"

"King Yong has come to save us!"

"What an eye."

The city was filled with cheers, and countless people shouted in excitement.

Yu Qian and Wei Hua glanced at each other, and they were all relieved, looking like they were living for the rest of their lives.

In the cheers of everyone, the Nine Thousand Hexi Iron Cavalry did not enter Wancheng from the west gate, but went directly around the city to the south.

They, led by the bald Wei Tan, prepared to move south to intercept Feng Cai's army.

At the same time, Liu Muzhi's representative Wei Shuo, under the escort of the remaining 3,000 iron cavalry, walked into Wancheng with his head held high.

Led by Wei Hua and Yu Qian, the Han Dynasty hurriedly walked down the city and welcomed the Hexi army into the city.

Liu Muzhi turned over and dismounted, soothed everyone with kind words, and repeatedly said that King Yong was busy with official business and had no time to come in person.

Everyone didn't even dare to say that they didn't dare to thank King Yong for rescuing Nanyang.

"Please rest assured, with the Hexi Army here, we will never let the Jingzhou Army step into Nanyang."

As soon as this remark came out, it caused a cheer at the scene.

At this time, Yu Qian stepped forward, and he was moved and ashamed in his heart.

He said to Liu Muzhi with tears: "It's all to blame for being confused, and it's wrong to blame King Yong's kindness!" ”

"From now on, I will be the head of King Wei Yong, and I will never have two hearts."

Others also expressed their attitudes: "We are willing to merge into Hexi, and from now on, only King Yong will be the head of the horse." ”

Seeing this scene, Liu Muzhi bowed slightly, and said with a spring breeze on his face: "You think like this, it really makes you feel very gratified." ”

……

At the same time, the 3,000 forwards of the Jingzhou Army had arrived ten miles south of Wancheng.

Because the Jingzhou army took Xiangyang effortlessly, the generals and soldiers had a contempt for the defenders of Wancheng.

At present, the vanguard army arrived on the outskirts of Wancheng, and the vanguard general did not wait for the main force to converge, and directly drove the troops to attack Wancheng.

Unexpectedly, they happened to collide head-on with the Hexi Army heading south.

Before coming, the bald Wei Tan had been advised by Liu Muzhi to make sure that he had a small setback of Jingzhou soldiers to facilitate future peace talks.

The bald-haired Wei Tan understood and immediately led nine thousand iron cavalry south, preparing to defeat the advance of the Jingzhou army.

The army had not traveled more than a few miles south, when suddenly dust rose in front of it.

The bald Wei Tan was shocked, clenched the steel gun in his hand, and raised his eyes to look into the distance.

I saw that on the official road in the south, an army was rushing towards the black press, and they were all very excited, and they were rushing towards Wancheng impatiently.

The bald man's eyes flashed, and he waved his spear and said, "Kill me!" ”

In an instant, the shouting and killing sound was loud, and the nine thousand Hexi Iron Horsemen poured out of the nest.

The bald Wei Tan took the lead, and the steel spear stabbed left and right, instantly stabbing seven or eight Jingzhou soldiers.

The vanguard of the Jingzhou Army was dumbfounded at the moment when the Hexi Army came out, he realized that something was wrong, and immediately turned his horse's head and ran back.

As soon as the main general ran, the rest of the soldiers immediately lost their fighting spirit and raised their hands to surrender.

The bald Wei Tan knew that Hexi would definitely negotiate peace with Jingzhou next, and he would not do more killing.

When he saw that the Jingzhou army was beginning to disperse, he ordered his subordinates to stop killing and begin to collect prisoners.

After repelling the advance of the Jingzhou army, the bald Wei Tan did not continue south, but returned to Wancheng with his captives.

At the same time, Liu Muzhi has reached an agreement with Han Chu and other powerful people, and the conditions that Yu Bin orally promised to King Yong at the beginning have been fully refined and implemented on paper.

According to the regulations, the next Han Haoqiang will go to Chang'an to settle down, and they can take away the floating wealth of the family, but the fields and tribes must be handed over to Hexi for disposal.

Although Zhong Haoqiang felt pain, when the bald Wei Tan escorted Hu Lu back to Wancheng, everyone could no longer afford to resist.

Soon, Han Haoqiang, like Shuzhong Haoqiang, embarked on the road to Guanzhong.

Of course, not everyone is dissatisfied with this, but the children of the original Guanlong and Hedong families such as Wei Hua and Pei Songzhi are not dissatisfied with this, but are very excited to return to their hometown.

In Wuguan, the heads of the powerful families saw His Royal Highness King Yong, and they inevitably greeted him.

The others are okay, but Pei Songzhi is the person who arouses Wei Shuo's great interest.

And the reason why Pei Songzhi is famous is because his annotation "Three Kingdoms" is too famous in later generations.
