The actions of the Pengcheng County Order were also detected by the outer hall, and when the information was sent to the dark hall, it was classified as first-class news by Liu Fang, and then it was sent to Liu Yuan as soon as possible. Suddenly hearing that Pengcheng County ordered to send troops to Wu County and Yong County, Liu Yuan was slightly annoyed, and secretly said that the response to this Pengcheng County order was so fast. He was worried that the latter would do this, so he didn't let Cao Shen and Lu Ze rest. Now, it seems, is still a step too late.

Wu County and Yong County were close to Xiang County, and in order to prevent the county from being guarded, Liu Yuan had to temporarily abandon the two counties. There are only two counties in the land of four counties, Liu Yuan suddenly lost half of it, and the most important thing is that his plan to surround Pengcheng failed.

"Lord, did you just give up Wuxian and Yongxian?" Liu Fang said with some unwillingness.

"There are gains and losses." Liu Yuan could also see it, and after he was annoyed, he said calmly: "It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen." In addition, my Pei County also occupies Lu County and Wuyuan. It's not a bad thing to have only two counties, otherwise the pressure on our Pei army to defend the city will also increase dramatically. ”

"It's still the lord who sees it thoroughly." Liu Fang nodded.

"Ordered Cao to participate in Lu Ze, and ordered the two to stick to the city, and there was no need to send troops to Wu and Ning's two counties." Liu Yuan ordered again.

"No!" Liu Fang was ordered to leave.

Liu Yuan looked at the map alone, and also sighed, this time the battle of the siege was not worth the loss, at least it destroyed the coalition army, so that Liu Yuan had no worries, and at the same time collected more than 2,000 surrendered troops. After careful counting, he also found that the total number of Pei troops in all county towns had nearly 4,000 people.

Liu Yuan bowed slightly, this amount also has the power of self-preservation, at least whether it is the Pengcheng County Commander or the Surabaya County Guard, they will not act rashly.

In the next half month, Surabaya County was relatively stable, and Liu Yuan, Chen Tong, and Pengcheng County Commanders all secretly killed under this calm. The secret envoy sent by the Pengcheng County Commander also received a positive reply from the county guard Chen Tong, and when the time was ripe, the latter would join forces with Pengcheng's army to defeat Liu Yuan. With such an agreement, the Pengcheng County Commander felt a lot more relieved, and he regretted it now, if he had sent troops to recruit Liu Yuan for the first time with the county guard, and if he had sent troops to Pei County to join Fu Jie earlier, maybe the situation would not have been like this.

In the city of Daliang, the king of Wei, who had been restored, appointed Zhou Shi as a general, and the king of Wei was not an ungrateful person, and he was able to ascend the throne of the king of Wei, all of which were the merits of Zhou City. Zhou Shi was also greatly moved by the trust of Wei Wangjiao, and after becoming a general, he immediately expanded, reorganized, and trained Wei's army.

Under the painstaking management of Zhou City, the combat power of the Wei army increased day by day. Moreover, the displaced people near Daliang City are also gathering more and more, which also replenishes the personnel for the expansion of Zhou City. As the ancient capital of Daliang, the king of Wei is guilty and benevolent, so he will naturally not let the displaced people suffer from hunger, so under his order, many big clans have donated food.

With the arrival of the displaced people, a large amount of information has also been gathered and intertwined. Zhou Shi made his fortune from the market, and he had a habit of often going back and forth between the displaced people to listen, analyze, and sort out all kinds of information. Today, as usual, after the morning discussion, Zhou Shi went to the camp of the displaced people. Zhou Shi was highly respected among the homeless, but he did not have an aristocratic stand, and he mingled with the homeless people early.

Zhou Shi looked at a few old men who sighed in a low voice curiously, and he walked over and asked, "Why are the old men sighing?"

When these people saw that it was Zhou City, they all hurriedly saluted: "Meet the general." Immediately afterwards, one of them said with admiration: "The general doesn't know, we are all discussing Pei Gong of Pei County, Surabaya County."

"Oh?" When Zhou Shi heard the word Pei County, he immediately thought of someone, and he immediately asked, "Who is this Pei Gong?"

"General Hui, I heard that this Pei Gong is the pavilion chief of Yuanfengyi, and his name is Liu Yuan!"

"Sure enough, it's him!" Zhou Shi sighed as if he knew it, "I didn't expect that the original pavilion chief was already Pei Gong." ”

"The general knows this Pei Gong?" One of them said suspiciously.

Zhou Shi smiled and did not answer, in order to alleviate the pressure of rice and grain from the flood, he exchanged a lot of rice and grain from Liu Yuan with bronze. "Looking at a few people's feelings, it seems that this Pei Gong is not good now."

"It's not just good, general, listening to the oral accounts of the newly arrived homeless people, that Pei Gong has already defeated the coalition forces of the four counties of Lu, Wu, Steroid, and Wuyuan, and now I am afraid that he has captured the four places and surrounded Pengcheng." One of the old men replied that these homeless people did not know the actions of the Pengcheng County Order, after all, the speed of transmission of news was also very slow. "I'm afraid that the eastern part of Surabaya County will fall into the hands of Pei Gong."

Suddenly hearing this, Zhou Shi's heart was shocked, the original little pavilion chief had such great ability, he still underestimated the other party. Mayor Zhou took a breath and sighed again. He thought about it and left in a hurry.

When he arrived at the palace, the king of Wei saw that Zhou Shi was going and returned, and immediately asked, "What is the matter with the general?" ”

"Back to the king, the city once knew a person, and his courage and talent were all outstanding. Today, I suddenly heard that this person is Pei Gong of Surabaya County, and he has captured many places in Surabaya County. The city thought that such figures should be recruited for the use of our Wei State. Zhou Shi sincerely recommended Liu Yuan to Wei Wangjiao.

Wei Wang was slightly stunned, the person who can make Zhou City so admired can see that the latter is indeed extraordinary, "In this case, my Wei country is in ruins, and this kind of talent should be recruited." Wei Wang Ji also agreed.

"The king is wise. The city sent a handwritten letter to Pei County on Wednesday. Zhou Shi said impatiently.

"Well, I am very relieved that the general will do things, and this matter has been decided." Wei Wangjiao also nodded.

Back in his own courtyard, Zhou Shi hurriedly wrote a sincere and nostalgic handwritten letter on silk. After he folded the roll, he handed it over to Wednesday, and commanded in a deep voice: "Don't lose the etiquette when you go to Pei County, now Liu Yuan is no longer the pavilion chief who escorted the conscription in Qingmang Mountain." If it weren't for me as a general, I couldn't leave, otherwise I would have gone to Peixian in person, and such a character would have to be recruited no matter what. ”

"No! Rest assured, brother, everything is clear to me on Wednesday. Wednesday patted his chest and said roughly.

Similarly, in Qidi, Tian Rong also had the intention of soliciting after hearing about Liu Yuan. Tian Rong has always been conceited and decisive in killing, he sent a secret envoy to Pei County, before leaving, Tian Rong only said one sentence to this secret envoy, "Surrender or be an enemy." ”

Just this sentence, you can see how conceited this person is, at this time in Qidi, Tian Rong has already led the troops to capture the two counties of Jibei and Linzi, and the strength of the Qi army is at its peak.

Thank you QT, Beggar, Zhang Tao, and Huoyan Blade for your tips!
