In fact, long before Shamoke sent out his troops, Pei Qian had already expected that as long as Shamoke's army came to Longbian City unexpectedly, with the combat effectiveness of Shixie's army, he would never dare to resist, even if Shixie didn't know Shamoke, Shiyi's Hepu was not far from the Wuxi barbarians, and he definitely knew Shamoke's prestige among the nearby barbarians and Yue tribes, so as long as Shamoke arrived, Shiyi would definitely persuade Shixie to choose to surrender.

Shamoke also knew that he was definitely famous among the barbarians and Yue tribes within a radius of thousands of miles, I am afraid that except for Meng Shu in Nanzhong, there is no chieftain of any tribe who is not convinced of him, even if Shi Xie gathers the Yue people to resist the enemy, he is not afraid.

Therefore, he was not in a hurry after leading his troops to besiege the city, and waited for the news of the enemy's surrender of the city.

As expected, it didn't take long for Shamoko to see the city gate being slowly opened, and then saw more than a dozen civil and military officials under the leadership of a general in his forties being bound en masse, and then came to Shamoko to surrender.

Shamoke looked up, but found that Shi Xie and his second son Shi Hui were missing, and couldn't help but be stunned, and then asked coldly, "Why didn't Shi Weiyan come?" And what about his son Shihui? You are not going to recruit the Brute warriors to deal with me, Ben will advise you not to do such stupid things, otherwise, once you annoy Ben General, you will definitely kill your entire clan. ”

I saw Shi Yi walk out first, and said respectfully to Sha Moke: "General Sha, how dare we perform such a small insect carving skill on you?" This is a thousand miles away, what tribe doesn't know your name? Now that you are in the city, what other tribe of warriors would be so blind as to dare to oppose you? The main reason why the brother and nephew did not come was that they had already died and could not come at all. ”

"Huh? What the? Shi Weiyan is dead? What's going on? Shamoke was stunned when he heard this, and then asked.

I saw a trace of shame on Shi Yi's face, and he lowered his head and said: "It's all the fault of the last general, in fact, today is the sixty-second birthday of the brother, we all gathered together to celebrate the birthday of the brother, but I was surprised to hear that the general Sha was coming to the city, the brother panicked, so I asked the plan, the last general knew that the general was brave and could not resist, so he persuaded the brother to surrender, and the brother also had this intention, how could he disobey the son of the Shihui, and persuaded the brother to recruit strong men to resist the heavenly soldiers, and the last general started a debate, and then the brother's heart was to the heir, and the last general was afraid of disaster to the whole clan, He decided to carry out the military advice, killed the rebel son Shihui, and the brother was anxious to protect the son, and accidentally bumped into the sword of the last general, and the last general was unable to retract, resulting in the death of the brother. ”

After finishing speaking, Shi Yi sighed to himself and burst into tears.

Shamoke couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, and ordered someone to collect the corpses of Shi Xie's father and son, and took everyone into the city, out of the list of Anmin, and then ordered someone to ask Jiaozhou Assassin Shi Pei to rush to Longbian as soon as possible.

A few days later, Pei Qian led his entourage to Longbian City, comforted Shi Qi, Shi Yi and others, and ordered Shi Xie to be buried thickly, and then sacrificed by himself, and at the same time ordered the corpse of Shi Hui to be thrown into the wild, and not allowed to enter the ancestral tomb of Shi Jia, in order to punish him for his perverse behavior.

In addition, in order to stabilize the situation, Pei Qian still appointed Shi Yi as the Hepu Taishou and Shi Qi as the Jiuzhen Taishou, and at the same time appointed Shi Xie's eldest son Shi Di as the Jiaozhi Taishou, and Shi Qi was still the Ninan Taishou, but at the same time deprived them of military command and let them only be in charge of civil affairs, but he selected four confidant generals from the army and appointed them as county Sima to take charge of the military affairs of the four counties.

Shi Lu, Shi Yi and the others originally thought that they would feel good if they could pick up a life, but now they are still appointed as Taishou, and their hearts are naturally extremely satisfied, so they don't have any thoughts about being deprived of military rights, but they happily thank Pei Qian, and then they take office without mentioning it.

And what makes Pei Qian happiest is that it is not that he pacified the four counties of Jiaozhou in one fell swoop and completely controlled the entire Jiaozhou from then on, but that he has excavated a lot of talents for the lord Liu Qi, like Liu Xi, Yuan Hui, Xu Jing, Xu Ci, Liu Ba, Xue Zong, Cheng Bing and others, all of whom are handsome, and being able to get their service is definitely a big help for the great cause of the lord.

Pei Qian immediately appointed Xu Jing as the main book, Liu Ba as Gongcao, Liu Xi as literature, Xu Ci as persuasion, Yuan Hui as classics, Xue Zong as Changshi, and Cheng Bing as sacrificial wine.

Of course, he would not be contemptuous of the meritorious Shamoke, but gave him the position of Sima and let him work with Liu Ba to assist him in taking charge of the military and politics.

As for the positions of Zhizhong, Beijia, and Wu Meng, because he did not have the power to open the government, he still did not have the right to set up those official positions.

After accepting these talents, Pei Qian got tens of thousands of catties of various spices, thousands of fine-grained arrowroot cloths from the Jiaozhou Thorn History Mansion, and there were many treasures such as pearls, hundreds, shells, glass, jade, tortoiseshells, rhino horns, and ivory, as well as various bananas, coconuts, longans and other strange fruits.

Pei Qian asked people to transport all these materials to the Xiangyang Zhennan General's Mansion except for some necessary things, and in addition to these materials, Pei Qian also transported thousands of good horses from the county to Xiangyang to help the lord expand the cavalry.

After that, Pei Qian ordered the sergeant to open up an official road as wide as ten zhang in the dense jungle between Yulin and Jiaozhi to facilitate the transportation between the two sides, and since then the Jiaozhi specialties have been pouring into Jingzhou, Jiaozhou, Yangzhou, Yizhou and other places, in exchange for a large amount of food and various materials.

Later, even businessmen from Shan, Shendu and other countries flocked to Jiaozhou, asking to start trade with Jiaozhou, Pei Qian agreed to build a port and start trade after Liu Qi's permission, which made the originally deserted Jiaozhou become unprecedentedly lively and prosperous, just taxes, hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.

In the end, the small Jiaozhou turned out to be a very important base to support Liu Qi's army to conquer the world, and it was not weaker than Jingzhou in terms of status.

The news of Pei Qian's pacification of Jiaozhou made Liu Zhang in Yizhou feel panicked, and he hurriedly summoned Pang Xi, Zhao Wei and others to discuss countermeasures.

Zhao Wei knew that Liu Zhang had always been weak, so he was ready to accumulate strength, ready to rebel, in order to benefit the state, so in the name of conquering Liu Biao, the troops were forbearing, Liu Biao sent the famous general Wen Ping to guard, Zhao Wei sent troops several times, but was repeatedly defeated, Zhao Wei did not dare to fight, but the troops held each other, and later he heard that Liu Biao was killed, Liu Qi killed the old master of Wen Ping, Liu Cong, so he thought about winning Wen Ping, but before he could act, he heard that Wen Ping had been recruited by Liu Qi and appointed as a rebellious general, and he was still ordered to defend himself, knowing that he had no chance, He led his army back.

Now that he heard that Liu Zhang was worried that Jiaozhou would be pacified by Pei Qian, it would pose a threat to Yizhou, so he strongly persuaded Liu Zhang to lead the army to conquer Jiaozhou, at least the two counties of Qiqi County should be recovered. Otherwise, once Pei Qian rests, he will definitely crusade against himself.

Liu Zhang felt justified, so he decided to appoint Zhao Wei as the commander, lead an army of 20,000, and be sure to recapture the two counties in Qiqi County.

When Zhao Wei saw the opportunity coming, he was extremely proud and immediately agreed.

But unexpectedly, a little guy named Fa Zheng suddenly persuaded Liu Zhang: "Lord, this matter must not be, now Hanzhong Zhang Lu is not convinced, the lord has ordered Pang Xi to conquer Zhang Lu, if you conquer Zhang Lu again, I am afraid that our army will fight on both sides, it will be a defeat, so we will fight with Pei Qian, it is better to be humble and thick, and make friends with him, and at the same time work hard to repair equipment, develop agriculture, train soldiers, and wait until our army pacifies Zhang Lu, and then consider the issue of Jiaozhou." ”

Zhao Wei was furious when he heard this, and reprimanded Fa Zheng: "What do you know about this kid? Now Pei Qianjiaozhou is newly determined, people's hearts are unstable, it is a favorable time for us to march, once the opportunity is missed, after the development of Jiaozhou, we will be difficult, not to mention that although Hanzhong is small, but there is a risk of Jiameng and Baishui, if you want to be calm, how easy is it to talk about? I'm afraid that before we pacify Hanzhong, Jiaozhou Pei Qian has already attacked, and at that time, we will be even more difficult to fight on two fronts. ”

When Liu Zhang heard this, he felt that Zhao Wei was reasonable, so he made up his mind, no longer listened to persuasion, and led the army to go to Qiqi to fight.

And in Xuchang, the news of Pei Qian's unification of Jiaozhou also made Cao Cao feel extremely shocked, he never thought that he could have such a talent, in just two months to pacify the Shixie group that had been cut off from Jiaozhi for more than ten years, once Jiaozhou was pacified, this is equivalent to Liu Qi has another vast piece of territory, with such a strong foundation, Liu Qi's kid will be a greater threat to himself.

"Princess, what should we do?" Cao Cao summoned Xun Yu, Xun You, Chen Qun and others and hurriedly discussed countermeasures.

I saw Xun Yu say: "Prime Minister, this matter is actually not difficult, Prime Minister think about it, who is the Jiaozhou Assassin History now?" He is Pei Mao's son, as long as we get Pei Mao's letter asking him to return to the imperial court, presumably Pei Qian will definitely follow the order, and then we will ask the Son of Heaven to canonize Pei Qian as the pastor of Jiaozhou, Kaifu Yi and the three divisions, Wen Xihou, and the general of Zhengnan, Pei Qian has both his father's order and the court's reward, how can he finally Liu Qi? Once Jiaozhou is separated, Liu Qi will inevitably find a way to pacify Jiaozhou, so that he can no longer pose a threat to our rear, and we can deal with Yuan Shao with peace of mind. ”

Cao Cao couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and said with admiration: "Wen Ruo's plan, it's really wonderful, this is the Son of Heaven, canonize Pei Qian, Wen Ruo, you are now in Shangshutai, and you have a lot of relationship with Pei Mao, and I will leave the matter of letting Pei Mao write a letter of persuasion to you." As long as Pei Qian betrays this time, I believe that Liu Qi'er will definitely be deeply hit, haha, in this way, he will be worry-free. ”

A few days later, Xun Yu came to Cao Cao with a wry smile, and said helplessly: "Prime Minister, the lower officials are incompetent, I didn't expect Pei Mao to resist to death, he said that Pei Qianjiaozhou did a good job, Liu Qi is also the master, there is no need to take refuge in the national thief." ”

Cao Cao was furious when he heard this, but he still resisted the urge to kill Pei Mao, and as soon as his eyes rolled, he smiled and said: "We can find someone to forge Pei Mao's letter, it is two thousand miles away from Xudu to Jiaozhou, and it is expected that Pei Qian will not be able to distinguish the truth from the fake." ”

"No." Xun Yu bowed slightly, then stepped back and found someone to forge Pei Mao's letter.
