"Dadu Governor, the Wei Dynasty ruled Jizhou for a short time, in fact, they have not really unified Jizhou, these years they are only ruling Jizhou in the end, there is not enough time to sort out the remnants left by the Jin State, now although Cao Pi rules Jizhou under the banner of the Wei Dynasty, but he is not right, but also lacks convincing, even if we raise the banner of the Great Wu War, want the counties of Jizhou to respond, and change flags at the same time, this is a big problem!"

Cui Zhouping thought about it for a while, and said with a heavy expression: "And if you don't get it right, it will be self-defeating, and in the end, the whole Jizhou will fall apart, and you can only send troops to attack them one by one, and the gains outweigh the losses!" ”

Jizhou, one of the thirteen states planned out by the previous dynasty, is also the richest and most populous state and county, under the jurisdiction of nine counties, in the period of the previous dynasty, the population reached more than six million, belonging to the Hebei region, the core of the Central Plains.

After the disbandment of the Jujube Alliance, Jizhou was Han Fu's entire Jizhou herd, but Han Fu's good times did not last long, and he was soon rebelled by Yuan Shao of Bohai County, and after taking it in one fell swoop, after Yuan Shao established the Jin Kingdom, this is the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom.

In the first battle of Guandu, the Jin State was destroyed by Cao Wei, and Jizhou changed hands.

But in just a few years, Jizhou, which has changed hands several times, has become more complicated.

On the surface, it was the Wei Dynasty that was in charge, but an economic war launched by Eastern Wu directly broke the rhythm of the Wei Dynasty's smooth takeover of Jizhou, destroyed a lot of Jizhou, and allowed many old Jin countries to survive.

If Cao Cao calms down and cleans up, he can make Jizhou return to his heart.

But he was in a hurry to move the capital to Luoyang, and the land of Jizhou was naturally a little unbearable, so in fact, under the control of the Wei Dynasty, it was full of the old Jin State and the forces secretly developed in Eastern Wu, which was a melee zone.

"You're right, you want it in a short time. Complete the battle of Jizhou to change banners, do not move the sword soldiers, and successfully make Jizhou the territory of the Great Wu Dynasty, this difficulty must be there! ”

Hearing this, Li Nie looked cautious and nodded.

His eyes narrowed slightly. He was also thinking about it in his heart, he could understand the difficulties Cui Zhouping was facing now, and if he wanted to stabilize this stable situation and hurriedly change the big yellow flag at the head of the city, he would inevitably encounter a certain backlash.

But he also knows the situation in China, and now they can only fight.

"Zhou Ping, when Han Tao was the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he had sneaked into Jizhou many times. used his identity as the son of Han Fu to rebel against many Jizhou families and return to Dawu! ”

Li Ne thought about it and gave Cui Cuizhou a little confidence: "They have always been the foundation of our Great Wu in Jizhou, and it was because of their assistance that they could achieve a good result in an economic war back then, and this time you can use them well." They would be a good help! ”

"Jizhou family?"

When Cui Zhouping heard this, his gloomy eyes suddenly became shining: "According to what I am referring to." Since the fall of the Jin Kingdom, the Jizhou family has been continuously suppressed by the Wei Dynasty, Cao Mengde is also a person who will not compromise with the power of the family, he can't Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao was born in a family and relies on the wealthy family. can also tolerate the rampant nature of the family, but Cao Mengde is different, under the suppression of the Wei Dynasty, the Jizhou family has long been gone, but it is undeniable. This is a certain strength after all, and if you can get their help, it is indeed a good help! ”

"I'll contact them personally, other counties, let's not think too much, capture the thief to capture the head, break the enemy to kill the general, if you want Jizhou, you have to solve Yecheng first!"

Li Nie said in a deep voice: "In Jizhou, Yecheng has always been a core city, although the county guards of several other counties are now a little disrespectful to the orders issued by the Assassin Shifu, but they are actually just seeing the wind and making the rudder, whoever has a big fist, they will listen to whom, whether it is Bohai, Qinghe, Hejian, Julu, the Taishou of these counties are elected by the local wealthy families, they do not have much strength, as long as we successfully take Yecheng, directly take the land of Wei County, the weather vane of the entire Jizhou will change, Since they have reached the point of disrespecting the orders of the Assassin Mansion, they naturally will not have too much loyalty to the Cao Wei Imperial Court, and with the strength of the two divisions of the Wild Lion Legion that we have already stationed in Hejian County, it will have a good deterrent response! ”

If they were given a year or two, they could slowly bring these people to their hearts, but now they can only use the power of deterrence to force the counties to submit.

"What the Metropolitan Governor said is even!"

Cui Zhouping nodded, his eyes crossed a touch of ferocity, and the killing intent became awe-inspiring: "If we want to take Yecheng, we must first solve some people, either not moving, or moving as fast as thunder, we must fight quickly, in this way, I think of a way, I will personally make a post in the name of Jizhou Assassin History, let Yang Ren come to the palace for a banquet, and also invite Yecheng Ling, Wei County Guard, these people with real power in Jizhou, they are all henchmen left by Cao Pi, we will catch them all, when the time comes, we will control the palace soldiers and horses, The knife and axe hand waited outside the palace, negotiated in person, smashed the cup, and if he did not surrender, he died! ”

"Yang Ren is guarding you now, will he come to the banquet?"

A glint of doubt crossed Rinne's gaze.

"It should come, after all, I am still a dignified Jizhou assassin history, now the land of Jizhou, nominally at least I am in charge, although he is Cao Pi's confidant, he must also obey orders, if he is allowed to surrender, it may be a little difficult, but let him come to a banquet, it can still be done!"

Cui Zhouping thought about it, and there were eight layers of certainty that Yang Ren could enter the palace for a banquet, he thought about it and said: "As long as he waits until he enters the palace of the Jin Dynasty, close the palace city immediately, and then let Zhang Wei lead the Black Mountain Army to the south city, collect his soldiers and horses, and take him side by side, while taking down his soldiers and horses!" ”

"Good!"

Li Nie's eyes flashed a gloomy killing, nodded and said: "This thing will be done according to what you say, I will keep an eye on Yecheng for you, as long as you can take Yecheng, you can start killing, and those who become big things are indispensable to kill!" ”

———————————————————

Yecheng South City, in an open military camp.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Under the scorching sun, the soldiers sweated and fought on the battlefield in training.

The main general, Yang Ren, a strong man in his early thirties, sat quietly in the camp of the Chinese army, constantly flipping through the roster of soldiers one by one: "We must strengthen the degree of training!" ”

In fact, the elite soldiers and horses under Cao Pi's command have already let Cao Pi lead them back to Luoyang. Now the soldiers and horses left in Yecheng, except for the Black Mountain Army, are all young and strong generals.

Although the 10,000 soldiers under his command are basically the first-class elites among the young men of Jizhou who were recruited at the beginning, they are all tall and strong, and they have also experienced the battle of Julu, which can be regarded as some combat effectiveness.

But if you want to really train this army completely, it is not so simple.

"These soldiers. If you want experience or no experience, if you want combat effectiveness without combat effectiveness, if you want to train it out, it is comparable to the soldiers of the Wu army, how easy it is to talk about it! Yang Ren sighed helplessly and closed the roster of soldiers under his command.

He was a general of Zhang Lu, the king of Hanzhong.

In the past, in Hanzhong, the first battle of Dingyuan Military Town, Zhang Lu and Zhang He besieged Zhao Zilong, the god of war of Eastern Wu, before and after, and the scene of that battle seemed to have been imprinted in my mind. The Hanzhong soldiers led by Zhang Lu were killed by Zhao Zilong in and out, almost killing their courage.

Later, he entered Luoyang with Zhang Lu, and the Hanzhong army was naturally disintegrated, he was loyal to Zhang Lu, but Zhang Lu was placed under house arrest in Luoyang, and he could only be an idler by Zhang Lu's side.

Later, Cao Pi, the prince, suddenly asked to go north, and he borrowed a master from Zhang Lu to protect himself.

Zhang Lu was just an idle king of the Wei Dynasty at that time. In order to win over the prince Cao Pi, he did not hesitate to lend several masters around him to protect Cao Pi. He also lent him out.

Cao Pi didn't have any generals under his command at that time, so he trusted him, but unfortunately he trusted Cui Zhouping even more. But he didn't accept it, and it eventually led to the current situation.

However, because of this, after entering Yecheng, Cao Pi paid more attention to him and handed over the elite army under his command to him.

Speaking of which. Although Cao Pi's ability is not good, his skills in employing people have learned Cao Cao's four or five layers of skills, and he still has some attainments in playing the means of balance.

Cao Pi trusts Cui Zhouping very much, but he also guards against it, he puts it in Yecheng himself, just to suppress Cui Zhouping and not let one side dominate, which is a good practice.

"General, the envoy of Cui Envoy of the Assassin's Mansion has sent an invitation!"

The voice of a general, Hong Zhong, and Dalu pulled Cui Zhouping's thoughts back.

"Invitations?"

When Yang Ren heard this, his eyes narrowed, he looked at the big red invitation card handed over by the guards, took it, spread it out, and there was a playful smile on the corner of his mouth: "Cui Yuanjun plans to hold a banquet in the palace of the King of Jin, and invite all families in Yecheng to discuss the affairs of Jizhou, he wants to invite me to the banquet?" What kind of medicine is sold in your gourd? ”

"General, according to the news I inquired about, this time Cui Yuanjun not only invited you, but also invited Lord Wei County, Ye Cheng Ling, and the heads of some wealthy families in Jizhou!"

The guards arched their hands and reported in a low voice: "His momentum is very big, if the general does not go to the banquet, he is afraid that he will be regarded as a dissonance, and if he is high, he will gain or lose!" ”

"That's true!"

Yang Ren nodded in agreement, and his gaze became deep: "But if I go to the banquet, he Cui Zhouping will be beheaded, won't I be in danger?" ”

He always had some doubts in his heart, Cui Zhouping.

It's not that he suspects that Cui Zhouping is a spy of Dongwu, and he doesn't have that prophet, but he has always suspected that Cui Zhouping has the heart to monopolize the power of Jizhou, and now in Jizhou, only the forces under his control can balance him.

If he wants to get rid of himself and then monopolize the military and political power in Jizhou, it is not impossible.

"General, it's better to be like this, you let Captain Yang Yi, lead a group of soldiers, ambush outside the palace gate, and wait for your orders to act, so that the safety of the general can also be guaranteed!"

The guard soldier thought for a moment and said.

"He Cui Zhouping personally ordered an invitation, and also invited so many people in Yecheng, if I don't go to the banquet, it won't work, what you said is a good way!"

Yang Ren agreed, and a fierce color crossed his eyes: "Just this Yang Yi led three thousand soldiers and horses, lurking outside the palace, listening to my orders, taking the cup as the number, as long as the signal arrives, regardless of everything, kill it, kill the entire palace city without leaving a piece of armor, yes, invite Mr. Han in addition, with him to protect me, I can rest assured!" ”

Mr. Han, who used to be a protector of the Heavenly Master League, a rare strong man under Zhang Lu, is also the only remaining master of the Master League today, he has the cultivation of Qi Chenggang.

With his protection, Yang Ren has some confidence.

——————————————————

The sun sets in the west mountains, and the night is like a rainbow.

Under the night, the starry sky is bright, Yecheng curfew, quiet as water, however, on this day, in the palace of Yecheng Jin, the lights are bright, the voices are boiling, and in front of the palace gate, a carriage is parked next to it.

"Brother Fang, I didn't expect Cui Yuanjun to invite you this time!"

When some of the heads of the family got out of the carriage and entered the palace, they saw several representatives of the Jizhou family, one of which was the old head of the Fang family.

The Fang family was to help the Wei army enter the city, so it got the report of the Wei Dynasty, and vigorously developed, many family children entered the Wei Dynasty as officials, and now a family in Jizhou Feiteng Hengda, the prestige of the Yuan family of the year.

However, the Fang family has been very low-key over the years, although Fang Lei is the governor of Yecheng, the captain of the Jin Palace, leading heavy troops and guarding Yecheng, but the old master of the Fang family has been living in seclusion and recuperating all these years, ignoring the world.

They didn't expect that the old master of Fang would actually appear at this time.

"Hehehe!"

The old master of the Fang family looked old, as if he was about to fall down as soon as the wind blew, but he smiled with a smile: "The old man is a commoner, and now he has summoned Lord Jun, how can he not care?" ”

"Old Master Fang, I don't know what happened to the envoy's summons this time?" Someone didn't know what to do about this banquet, so he asked in a low voice.

"He is now the assassin of Jizhou, and he can send an invitation to summon us with eight hundred, which is better than one day when he leads the soldiers to break in!" Old Master Fang said with a smile.

"What the old master of the Fang family said is even!"

"Brother Fang is right!"

When several family heads heard this, they thought about it, and they were right, Cui Zhouping, the new assassin in Jizhou, can now give them an invitation in a serious way, which is better than indiscriminately breaking into the door directly.

"Lord Gunjo!"

"Master Chen, don't come unharmed!"

"Xun County's order is also here!"

As the figures entered the welcoming hall of the Jin Palace, the entire golden hall suddenly became lively, and after they settled down one by one, they greeted each other.

"General Jizhou has arrived!"

Outside the main hall, a calm and powerful voice sounded, and then everyone's eyes saw a big man walking into the hall with his head held high.

General Jizhou, the Han Dynasty or the Cao Wei court did not have this general title.

This is the name of a miscellaneous general, and when Cao Pi left Jizhou, he crowned Yang Ren as the general of Jizhou, so that he had the right to command the entire Jizhou soldiers and horses.

"Let's meet General Jizhou!"

Many people's eyes saw this figure and hurriedly stood up to greet it.

"You don't need to be polite, today is to make the king hold a banquet, how can I, a little general, make a noise and take the lord!" Yang Ren smiled slightly, then walked to the front left position and sat down on his knees.

"Haha, General Yang laughed, you and I are ministers of the same court, there is only the right and secondary, how can there be a difference between master and servant!"

The time was almost up, Cui Zhouping put on his official robe, walked out of the backyard energetically, looked at Yang Ren, and said with a smile.

"We're going to see the Envoy!"

Everyone saluted respectfully.

Today's Cui Zhouping is the first person in Jizhou, so they naturally dare not underestimate it. (To be continued.) )
