Chapter Eighty-Nine: Marching into Kansai

On that day, the Yaodong army had already come to Guiwucheng, and the Yanbei army that came to Guanbei came out of Wucheng to try to resist. However, the headquarters of the Blaster Regiment was already in a panic.

"General Wei didn't take our Guanbei seriously at all, he personally led a large army to attack Anyun, but let us resist the Yaodong army. If we fail, it's all over. One of the deputy captains of the Blastwind Regiment complained.

"I know this, I can't get out of Miss Sa's death, and I don't know what General Wei will do with me. It's hard for me to do it now. "The wind is far away.

"Everyone else in the city wants to belong to the Ding brothers, in order to ensure that our wind group can be passed on, why don't we go and find out about the Ding family brothers." Said the deputy head of the Blast.

"The Ding brothers have already said that as long as we are attached, our current position will not be damaged in any way. But General Wei is not kind to us, and it is also unrighteous for us to betray him like this. Feng Zhuyuan raised his head and frowned.

"We have been around for 200 years, and we have no ambitions, we just want to be recognized by others and walk in the world in the open. General Wei has made this wish come true, and we should not betray him. But now that we have no time to take care of ourselves, once the Yaodong army conquers Guiwucheng, our wind group will face the catastrophe of annihilation. The surrender of the Ding brothers is just a measure of rights, and when General Wei's army attacks, we can also respond to him. A member of the Windrush Corps admonished.

"I still know General Wei's temperament. For those he approves, it can be said that he can take out his heart and liver. For those he doesn't approve, he will definitely not leave any affection. If we betray General Wei, I'm afraid we won't have a chance to be friends with him again. Even if we take refuge in him in the future, we won't be where we are now. Feng Zhuyuan sighed.

"That's true, but Kanbei is under attack. General Wei's army was sent elsewhere. It's not that we don't try, it's that he threw us aside first. Said the deputy head of the Blast.

"General Wei's reinforcements don't know when they will arrive, and it is very unwise for us to hold on like this. If the people in the city rebel, we will be the first to suffer. The Ding brothers are the descendants of the Emperor Qingyuan, the first head of our Wind Regiment, and they have wanted to be recognized by the Emperor Qingyuan all their lives. We are now attached to the Ding brothers. It is also the inheritance of the will of the former leader. Said the soldier.

"Of course, I know that I just can't get over it in my heart, but if there is another way to go, I won't be so embarrassed. The Ding brothers are not enemies who swear to stand against us, and there is no need to fight to the death; Even if we want to fight to the death, the rest of the city will definitely not stick with us to the end. For the sake of the inheritance of the Windrush Regiment, he can only choose to negotiate with the Ding brothers. Feng Zhuyuan said.

"It's best if the head of the regiment can make such a decision. Everything should be community-oriented! The crowd said.

"But I still have to talk to the Ding brothers about two conditions, the first is that our wind group has been rooted in Guiwu City for generations. They must be able to ensure that we can continue to govern Guiwucheng after we are submitted. Second, General Wei is a great favor to us after all, and even if we are attached to them now, we will not participate in the battle with General Wei in the future. As long as they can accept these two conditions, we, the Windrush, are willing to sacrifice Guiwucheng. Feng Zhuyuan finally decided.

"These two conditions, Chief Feng, I agreed to them for the two Lord Ding. The one who knows the times is Junjie, under the rule of the two Lord Ding. The Wind Commander must have done more. A man walked into the chamber and said.

"Who are you? Why is he in the council hall of my Breeze, who the hell put him in? Feng Zhuyuan said angrily.

"I am the secret envoy sent by the two Lord Ding. I was able to be here, and naturally I was also brought in by several of your deputy regiment commanders and military members. Fortunately, Head Ding is also a person who knows the current affairs, otherwise today's events would be a little unpleasant. The envoy said with a smile.

"Okay, so you've been with them for a long time." The wind swept away and looked around. Several deputy regiment commanders and soldiers all lowered their heads, and Feng Zhuyuan turned his head to the secret envoy and said, "What I said just now, the secret envoy should have heard it in his ears. The envoy also said that he could agree to my terms. Then please ask the secret envoy to go back and tell the two Lord Ding, and Feng Zhuyuan will personally welcome them into the city. ”

The envoy laughed and applauded the wind as it drifted away. And he departed with the support of the people.

After the secret envoy left, Feng Zhuyuan said to everyone: "You have done a good job this time, if I don't agree to surrender, do you still want to tie me up and give it to the Ding brothers as a meeting gift." ”

"Naturally, we don't dare to do this, we will all finally be the head of the regiment." Everyone was terrified.

"Well, I'm not going to pursue anything. If I really want to pursue it, I'm afraid that there won't be a few people left in the entire blast group. However, it is better to send a message to the people outside the city, and tell them to withdraw quickly. This can be regarded as one less thing to do to be sorry for General Wei. Feng Zhuyuan said with a sigh.

"Naturally, it should be like this, and we don't want to do anything to be sorry for General Wei." The crowd hastened to respond.

The men and horses who built a fortress outside the city and planned to resist the Yaodong army hurriedly evacuated Guanbei after receiving the news that Guiwucheng had surrendered. The high-ranking officials of the Storm Regiment and the officials of Guiwucheng went out to welcome the Yaodong army into the city. In this way, the entire Guanbei fell into the hands of the Ding brothers.

Wei Zeng led the army from Xu Huai to Shifeng City, and he had already received the news.

"If there is a gain, there must be a loss, we have been stuck in the quagmire of multi-sided battles in the past few years, and there is no way to lose in Kanbei. However, now that the Central Plains is ours, and the other enemies have also been repelled by us, as long as we accumulate strength, it will not be difficult to regain Kanbei. Qi Weiren said.

"I know this, but Miss Sa's revenge still has to be avenged. I will take these people and horses to fight in Guanbei, and I must not let the Yaodong people gain a foothold in Guanbei. Wei Zeng said.

"This is a bit difficult, we don't have a stronghold in Kanbei now, and if we only rely on a large army to attack the city, we will encounter great obstacles. But now that the main forces of my Yanbei are all gathered together, I can still give it a try. Zivelen replied.

"That's what I thought, too. But I want to ask the eldest brother, do you think it is really possible for the world to achieve reunification without going to war? Wei Zeng asked.

"I read through the history books, the rise and fall of the world, the change of dynasty, not the sword and blood. It's the dark tide surging. Either fight to the death on the battlefield, or play some intrigues above the court. Tangwu Revolution, bloodshed and drifting; Zhou Kong Chan let the family rejoice, and all the surnames cried together. Only after reunification can benevolent government be implemented. Only then can the people really live a good life. I don't know why Brother Xian has this question? Qi Weiren sighed.

Wei Zeng told Qi Weilun what he had said to Fan Yuyi before the battle.

In this way, that Fan Zhiyi is not a person who only knows how to fight for power and profit, and he is also a little benevolent in his heart. However, things that are too ideal often do not exist in the world. Qi Weiren said.

"I remember the first time I met my eldest brother, and my eldest brother dared to argue with the soldiers of the Jingnan Army for the sake of a few passers-by who died in vain. The eldest brother also warned me not to be obsessed with hatred, hoping that I could save a ray of kindness and leave a little firefly candlelight in the dark world. Wei Zeng said.

"That's what I said. I've been doing this as well. In the past, I was just alone, and I could only rely on my enthusiasm to do a few more good deeds and make the world less unfair. But I am no longer alone now, as long as I can assist the virtuous brother to become a generation of saints and sages, the world will naturally be clear. The mountains and rivers are crushed today, but it is just to create a peaceful and prosperous world tomorrow. Qi Weiren said.

"Is this what Big Brother thinks? But the dead never come back to life. What is lost will never be regained. Maybe according to what the eldest brother said, we can really unify the world. Then create a peaceful and prosperous world. But I always feel that all this is unreasonable. I can't say where it's unreasonable. I can only say that I don't want to be the emperor, and I don't want to kill people all the time, I just want to protect the people I cherish and cherish the hard-won happiness in the future. Wei Zeng replied.

"How could Brother Xian have such an idea? Could it be that the virtuous brother wants to live in peace with the world for his own pleasure. I can tell you. In this case, you will lose everything. Only by rising in adversity can no one ever live in comfort. Qi Weilun has always regarded Wei Zeng as the hope of realizing his own rule of law and leveling the world, and heard that Wei Zeng did not want to be the emperor and did not want to fight. There was a cold feeling in his heart, a cold face, and he admonished.

"Of course I know that, so I'll take all the responsibility that belongs to me. I'm not going to do one less thing to do. But if there's a second path to take, I'm definitely going to try it too. But I won't be emperor, I hate that position; If war is not needed, I don't want to start it, because I also hate war. Wei Zeng replied.

"I understand what Brother Xian meant, let's send someone to communicate more with Fan Jiyi. Maybe there really can be a second way to go. Miss Sa died at the hands of the Ding brothers, and we must avenge her, so the Ding brothers must be defeated. And also...... Isn't Brother Ken the one who always wanted to pick up the Kansai region? Then Kansai will definitely go. Without an army to rely on, the purpose of the virtuous brother will not be achieved. When all this is settled, there is a second way to go, and we just go. ”

Qi Weilun was very conflicted in his heart, he knew that Wei Zeng was very stubborn in some things, and he had always been worried that Wei Zeng would use troops in Kansai because of this stubbornness, but now he was worried that Wei Zeng would stop fighting because of this stubbornness. He could only find some reasons why Wei Zeng couldn't refuse, and let Wei Zeng continue to fight. Although it is very shameful to start a war for personal vendetta and personal affection, it is very shameful in the eyes of Qi Weilun.

"Big brother is right, these two things, I must do. Miss Sa's revenge is to be avenged, and I will go to Kansai too. Wei Zeng gritted his teeth and said.

For a whole autumn and winter, Wei Zengqin led a large army to conquer Guanbei. The Ding brothers did not dare to directly confront Wei Zeng's main force, and they never came out. After several months of campaigning, the morale of the Yanbei army declined and could no longer continue fighting, and Wei Zeng was forced to withdraw his troops.

After Fan Jiyi returned to Jiangnan, he has been busy dealing with the big and small affairs in Jiangnan, especially the problems in the southeast, and he can't let it go.

In the days when Fan Jiyi left, Gu Xiangli was in charge of the southeast, strictly investigating the problems of tax collection and Shilin's style, which made the southeast Shilin complain.

When the water thief Lu Boding occupied the southeast, he was bent on pleasure and didn't care about these things at all. At the beginning, the people in Shilin had bulging pockets, drank and prostituted all day long, and had fun, and their lives were not happy.

Now that they have surrendered to Fan Zhiyi, they want to let them cut their flesh on themselves, but let them have few desires, and they are naturally very dissatisfied. After Fan Yuyi came back, they wrote together to impeach Gu Xiangli. In the end, Fan Yuyi dismissed Gu Xiangli, and Southeast Shilin finally quieted down. But their situation has not changed, it is just that they have no excuse to make trouble.

Soon after, Gu Xiangli was reactivated by Fan Zhiyi, and his status increased instead of decreasing, and some people in Shilin who were very unreasonable were also severely investigated and punished. Some smart people have sensed the signs and are being honest.

With the combination of righteousness and grace, the whole Jiangnan has become more and more stable, and the atmosphere in the southeast has also improved a lot.

In addition to stabilizing Jiangnan, Fan Yuyi is still busy with one thing, that is, communicating with Wei Zeng to discuss how to peacefully reunify. Wei Zeng also expressed interest, so the envoys from both sides came and went, exchanging many useful opinions. In the end, Fan Kuyi sent Fu Zuci north to Shifeng City to agree on the alliance.

Winter goes to spring, and it is a beautiful season, but the pedestrians on the road do not have any intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery, looking at the army coming from afar, everyone is scrambling to dodge, for fear of suffering an unwarranted disaster. The Chinese army is embroidered with a Wei character on the banner, and the leader is Wei Zeng.

The campaign against Guanbei was fruitless, Wei Zeng retreated to Shifeng City, and just after the New Year, a news reached Wei Zeng's ears. The Kansai military government and the Death Sect fought a big battle, the Kansai Army captured Tianguan Castle, and the Death Sect retreated to the eastern part of Kansai.

Wei Zeng, who heard the news, was shocked in his heart, Kansai has been at war, and he doesn't know if the person who is far away in Kansai has always been well. Time flies, it has been 12 years since the separation, and the original young knight has become the overlord of the Central Plains; What does the tender girl look like now? Wei Zeng decided to postpone the attack on Guanbei and organized a large army to go to Guanxi.

Qi Weilun believed that now that the Central Plains had been occupied, and Kansai was also in turmoil, there was no problem in sending troops to Kansai, so he supported Wei Zeng's decision.

So 100,000 troops gathered in Shifeng City, all the way to Guanxi, Guanshan Army, Gu Chayi's horse team, and the elite of Yanbei, who had followed Wei Zeng for many years, were all mobilized and set out with Wei Zeng. Wei Zeng was determined to win this time.

"Twelve years, we haven't seen each other for twelve years. This time I must bring you back to me, I am sorry for you after making you suffer for so many years. But as long as I get you back, everything will be fine. Wait for me, Li'er. Wei Zeng stroked the jade pendant hanging on his chest and said. (To be continued.) )
