Chapter 9: The Lost Girl

That night, Zhuge Liang left Jiang Wei to rest in the camp and formally participated in the military meeting three days later. Although Zhuge Liang was full of joy at Jiang Wei's arrival, there were always people with ghosts, and even regarded Jiang Wei as an indispensable chess piece in the plan in advance.

It wasn't until after the beginning of the meeting that the generals saw with their own eyes this young general who was highly valued by the old general Zhao and the prime minister. The generals were secretly vigilant in their hearts, and they couldn't help but feel that this son had the appearance of a king.

After the generals were seated, Zhuge Liang said slowly: "Everyone, Jiang Wei was deeply inspired by the righteousness of reviving the Han family, and turned to our army by abandoning the darkness and turning to the light, and from now on everyone will be colleagues. ”

Wu Ban has always been straightforward, so he asked sharply: "Hmph...... I don't know if he really surrendered. Wei Yan knew that he had fallen for Jiang Wei's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, so he felt that his face was gloomy: "I don't believe that this person is actually playing conspiracy on the battlefield." ”

Jiang Wei was helpless, so he could only say in a good voice: "General Wei is brave, and we have no choice but to make this decision." (Sure enough, this is the fate of the general.) It's all hostile all around)

By that standard, how many of you can be trusted? Just like General Wei didn't spend a lot of time under Han Xuan back then? A middle-aged man with a scumbag face suddenly hugged him.

"Wang Ping! You have to say it again. Wei Yan's face turned red, obviously extremely concerned about this black history.

Wang Ping said: "There is no suspicion in employing people, and no suspicion is needed, shouldn't the prime minister be admired for having such a mind?" Wasn't Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, also a Lang official under Xiang Yu? Didn't you also make great contributions to the founding of the Han Dynasty? ”

Jiang Wei has also read some history books in the past eight years, and knows that Wang Ping is helping him say good things. Wang Ping used to be Xu Huang's general, no wonder he stood up to help me speak, and at present, it seems that he is the second person who has good intentions towards me.

Wei Yan suddenly changed his words: "It's a pity that the battle of Jicheng has not been fought, I originally wanted to fight a battle happily." Jiang Wei hugged his fists and said: "If you have the opportunity to fight with the world-famous General Wei, it is naturally an honor, and of course, it is even more honorable to become a comrade-in-arms with you." Wei Yan was already arrogant, but after being praised by Jiang Wei, he was even more overjoyed, and actually laughed out loud.

Yang Yi saw it in her eyes and hated it in her heart: Hmph, it's by praising Jiang Wei to belittle the prime minister, I can't guess what you think? This Jiang Wei is also a master who borrows a donkey from the slope, so he began to flatter. It seems that after destroying Wei Yan, I will give this young man a good beating.

Zhuge Liang's old voice sounded again: "After the introduction, let's discuss how to capture Tianshui." A young man with a slight-eyed expression stepped forward and said, "Ma Tan is willing to lead three thousand elite soldiers to capture the remaining counties, Taishou Ma Zun has already fled, and now there is no need to use any small means." ”

Zhuge Liang showed an intriguing smile on his face: "It's really rare that you often volunteered to go to the front line. ”

Only then did Jiang Wei know that the young man standing on his left was Ma Yan, isn't this Nima a fool? Can't let him rob me of the opportunity to perform: "I don't know if I believe in Jiang Wei?" Tianshui chief secretary Yin Xian and Jiang Wei and even thick friends, he and Liang Xu and others are all Tianshui wealthy clans, as long as they are also willing to surrender, it is easy to persuade other cities, this move can not only avoid unnecessary losses, but also win the hearts of the people of Liangzhou, why not? ”

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and said with a smile: "It's so good, it's according to Boyo's plan." (O competition among young people!) It always reminds people of the days when Mr. Shuijing debated with Brother Shiyuan. )

Damn it...... I'm the best! Ma Tan gritted his teeth, his face unwilling.

As Jiang Wei expected, when he went to meet Yin Xian and the others who were left behind outside Jicheng single-handedly, they surrendered immediately after seeing Jiang Wei. Under the leadership of Yin Xian, all counties in Tianshui gave up resistance and surrendered to the Shu army within three days.

Zhuge Liang ordered Liang Xu to be the Taishou of Tianshui, Yin Xian to be the order of Jicheng, and Liang Qian to be the order of Shanghan. At this time, all the three counties of Longxi surrendered to Shu Han, and the situation shook the entire Cao Wei.

Three days after the surrender of the entire territory of Liangzhou, Yin Xian held a banquet to bid farewell to Jiang Wei. After the banquet, he complained about his heart outside the Yawai of Jicheng County.

Yin Xian smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that I would join the Shu people with Boyo, and fate is quite ironic." However, it's good to be able to become a Jicheng Commander like this, and I should be happy. It's just that you are more talented than me, and you should not stay in this place. ”

Jiang Wei clenched Yin Xian's hands and said, "I know." The world in my heart is slowly getting bigger. In the past, it was just a place of Tianshui, but now it is the entire land of Liangzhou, and it will ...... in the future will be bigger. ”

Yin Xian smiled and nodded: "I will help take care of Lingtang, and I will also take care of my little sister's grave." You just do what you want. That's the only thing I can do for you. ”

Jiang Wei's eyes were filled with tears: "I've been bothering you for a long time, thank you Brother Yin." Yin Xian shook his head and smiled: "No, I just want to thank you for giving me the courage to be a person who is both timid and talentless." If it weren't for you, how could I have taken this step. ”

"Brother Yin, in the future, everyone will be a courtier of the Han Dynasty, let's serve the Han Dynasty together."

"Yes"

Once I've taken this step, there's no going back. You wait for me, I will definitely fulfill my promise to you and return home. Jiang Wei looked at the goshawk flying in the distance, and secretly swore in his heart.

A few days later, Yongzhou Thorn History Mansion was launched. Yongzhou Don't drive Lu Zhi hurriedly stepped into the gate and said: "Report, the three counties of Nan'an, Anding and Tianshui heard the news of Zhuge Liang's army's attack, and they all surrendered!"

In the middle of the hall, a middle-aged man wearing a brocade hat and a mink fur said indifferently: "There is nothing surprising, it is only a matter of time before the three counties fall." But this Zhuge Liang is really powerful, and he actually attacked the most vulnerable place of my Great Wei. In the past, Yongliang and Liangzhou were warlords who fought and struggled, and it was difficult to rule. And the previous war between Emperor Wu and Ma Chao made the locals resentful of Great Wei.

Lu Zhi hugged his fists and said: "Not only that, since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty. Ju Ying, Huang Hua and others continued to rebel. The land of Yongliang has never been peaceful. The subordinates also heard about one thing, the one who helped Zhuge Liang collect the heavenly water was the man Jiang Wei in the heavenly water. ”

Guo Huai couldn't help frowning after hearing this, the ink pen in his hand suddenly stopped, and after a while, he sighed and said, "Boyo, I see...... It's all to blame for this idiot. It's a pity that even if he is deposed, it can't change the fact that there is a loss of talent. ”

Lu Zhi's face was angry, and he said angrily: "Aren't you angry? The person who pulled it out betrayed Da Wei like this, and it was shameless. Guo Huai shook his head and said with a smile: "Shiying, are you angry?" Let's be honest, you can't fool me, what is it that makes you so angry? ”

"Actually, I am very angry, it was because of the betrayal of the Shu people that Chang'an was broken that year, and my father was killed by Guo Yan because of this."

Guo Huai nodded and said, "I see, you do have a reason to be angry." However, it would be a pity if Jiang Wei still stayed in Tianshui. ”

Lu Zhi looked suspicious and said loudly: "It's really disappointing, I didn't expect you to be such a person who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong."

"Shiying, Great Wei has neglected the Kansai people for a long time, and you should also empathize with this. Otherwise, with your knowledge and talent, you should have developed in Luoyang, the national capital, a long time ago. ”

"Indeed, but ...... The three counties of Liangzhou surrendered to the enemy quickly only because of the prejudice of Great Wei. ”

Guo Huai asked rhetorically, "Isn't it enough?" This is a bad fruit that we must swallow, and if we think so, we may be able to let go. ”

Lu Zhi asked: Then you plan to do nothing and watch Zhuge Liang invade the entire territory of Liangzhou?

Guo Huai got up and drank a glass of wine: "No, when you meet Shiying, you will send this letter to the king of Xiqiang, Cheriji, overnight." Lu Zhi asked, "Do you borrow a knife to kill someone?" Wouldn't that lead the wolf into the house? ”

Guo Huai smiled: "Do you think that Emperor Wu went to his house to conquer Wuhuan back then?" Although the national strength of our Great Wei is not as strong as that of the Han Dynasty, there is still the power to deter Xiaoxiao. ”

The west wind should be strong, and the water and grass are cold. Pity the Yellow River is exhausted, and the felt hall is firmly in the shadow. The Saibei described in ancient poems is desolate and sad. However, due to the near-primitive ecological environment of the grassland during the Three Kingdoms period, the population of ethnic minorities was far less explosive than during the Wuhu Rebellion, and this grassland still conformed to the nickname given to it by the people of Middle-earth, "Plugging the Jiangnan".

There are more than a dozen yurts scattered along the river, with cooking smoke wafting around, and the Lele cart parked next to it will make people understand what it means to "think the wheel", but the life of the herdsman is far from being as poetic as this grassland, but full of ...... Blood, blood, blood.

Just as these Qiang men and their whole families were sitting around the fire and happily nibbling on the leg of mutton, the heavy sound of the war horse's nose sounded leisurely. On the rolling hills, a ghostly horseman appeared on the horse, the knight in a felt hat and beard, wearing a scimitar at his waist, and a longbow on his shoulder, and three or five feathered arrows poking out from behind his shoulder, piercing into the air.

"Huh~~" The knight drank the war horse, stood solemnly on the mountain beam like a wolf, and stared at the bottom of the mountain with sharp eyes for a moment. Cold sweat broke out on the backs of the dozen or so Qiang men, because they had already seen the knight's face clearly. The child was innocent and kind, and shouted for Daddy to invite the knight to come and be a guest.

The Qiang men touched their children's heads with pity, then turned on their horses in a vain attempt to die. The Qiang people at the head pulled out their scimitars and shouted: "Although you come to take our head, it will not cause trouble to your wife and children, can you guarantee it." ”

The knight cherished the words like gold, only nodded slightly, and immediately drew out three wolf-tooth arrows......

In the time of a stick of incense, the knight had completed the task assigned by his employer, skillfully cutting off thirteen right ears and putting them into a blood-stained bag. Immediately walked over, the Qiang women saw this, and they were immediately frightened, they firmly grasped their children and said, "Please, go around our lives." ”

The knight approached the yurt, tore off the silk mask to reveal her peerless countenance, threw a money bag on the ground, smiled and pinched the round face of a child, and said, "Sister will not hurt you." With that, she turned around and pulled on her mask, and walked away without looking back.
