Since the sixth year of Yongjia, Jizhou fell, Leling Taishou Shao Xu became one of the few Han leaders in Jizhou who insisted on resisting the great cause of Hu. Originally, Shao Xu thought that after Wang Jun's defeat, the great cause of resisting Hu in the north would wither from then on, and he himself was ready to die for the country.

Unexpectedly, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the appearance of Liaodong Weishuo has changed the danger of Shao Xu isolating behind enemy lines without foreign aid. Since last year, Wei Shuo, the captain of Dongyi, has sent a large number of ordnance, grain and grass to Leling by sea, which has greatly enhanced Shao Xu's confidence in fighting against the Hu people.

In the seventh year of Yongjia, since April, as Shi Le gradually focused on the turbulent situation in Jizhou, he was ready to solve his worries, and then set out to Youzhou to destroy Wang Jun in one fell swoop. Shao Xu would never watch Wang Jun be defeated, otherwise once Shi Le solved Wang Jun, he would definitely transfer his forces to exterminate a separatist force like him who listened to the tune and did not listen to the announcement.

Shao Xu felt that his weak forces were not Shi Le's opponents, so he wanted to join forces with Liaodong Weishuo, who had helped him a lot. After thinking about it, Shao Xu planned to lead his son-in-law Liu Yao to Liaodong to visit Wei Shuo and discuss the plan to fight Shi Le together in the future.

On 15 April, Shao Xu arrived at Port Arthur on a Liaodong Navy warship. After nearly a year of construction, Port Arthur has changed dramatically, and now it is the largest foreign trade port in Liaodong County.

Looking at the shadowy sea ships in Lushun Port, Shao Xu couldn't help but sigh: "Commander Liu, I didn't expect that there would be such a prosperous port in the remote Liaodong, are these merchants all from Jiangdong?" ”

"Returning to Lord Shao, most of these businessmen are from Jiangdong, and a small number are from Qingdao and Xuzhou. Since last year, when the Captain opened the sea traffic from Liaodong to Jiangdong, the trade between the two places has been much busier. ”

Shao Xu did not stay long in Port Arthur, and after a short rest, he went north to Xiangping, where he was warmly welcomed by the civil and military people of Liaodong headed by Wei Shuo. Anyone who meets Wei Shuo for the first time will be surprised by his too young appearance.

Shao Xu was no exception, he said with a look of surprise: "I didn't expect that Lord Wei of Liaodong would be so young, it's really better to be famous!" ”

"Hahaha, Shao Fujun has won the award, Wei Mou can achieve today's achievements, it is inseparable from the weight of Langya Wang, and thanks to the help of Pei Changshi and other civil and military henchmen. Welcome Shao Fujun to my Liaodong as a guest, come on, let me and Master Shao introduce you to the sages of Liaodong. ”

Saying that, Wei Shuo introduced all the civil and military forces of Liaodong to Shao Xu one by one, and now Wei Shuo is no longer only embarrassed by three or two kittens, and can barely be called a strategist like rain and a soldier like a cloud. Shao Xu looked at the civil and military forces of Liaodong who were all gathered together, and then looked at the only son-in-law around him, and couldn't help but feel a little envious.

"Seeing that Liaodong is really strong and strong, I am deeply gratified, and I can't help but have a little more confidence in the future to resist Hu. Alas, speaking of which, Shao can still persist in the tired times now, thanks to the help of Lord Wei. This time I came to Liaodong to express my gratitude to Master Wei, and secondly, to reaffirm the alliance between you and me, and at the same time to discuss the future cooperation between the two sides to fight against Hu. ”

Seeing this, Wei Shuo hurriedly reassured: "Please rest assured, Lord Shao, although Wei Shuo is from the Shu clan, he can know that Huayi is different, even if he fights to the point of a soldier, he will never surrender to the Yi Di of the Hu clan." As long as Shao Fujun insists on resisting Hu for a day, I, Liaodong, will do my best to help Lord Shao. ”

"Good! Master Wei is really a hero! Today, with Lord Wei's words, Shao finally put his mind at ease. ”

"Lord, do you think we should invite Lord Shao and his party to the living room for a detailed discussion?"

I saw Wei Shuo pat his head and smiled: "Oh, blame me, blame me, just talking to Lord Shao, but forgetting to let the guests into the house, it's really rude, rude!" Lord Shao, please, let's talk again at the house. ”

A group of dozens of people, talking and laughing, soon came to the county guard's mansion. This was originally the Pingzhou Thorn Mansion, and after Cui Yu escaped, Wei Shuo took it over as a place for his office and rest. As Wei Shuo walked, he secretly looked at the majestic man who was following behind Shao Xu.

"Shao Fujun, I don't know where this hero next to you is sacred? Can you introduce one or two things to Wei? ”

Shao Xu turned his head and glanced at Liu Yao and said with a smile: "Master Wei doesn't know, this person is not an outsider, but an old man!" The surname is Liu Mingyao, the word is long, and he is from Yiyang, Guangping! And I am a fellow villager in Jizhou, in the early years of the countryside famous for martial arts, the old man saw that the world was in turmoil at the time of employment, so he married the little girl to the chief. Thanks to the assistance of Zhengchang over the years, the old man and Hu Ren have not fallen behind. ”

"Oh, it turns out that this person is the famous hero of the land of Hebei - Liu Zhengchang! It's a long-standing name! Although Wei Shuo had already guessed the identity of the other party, he still pretended to be surprised.

"How dare you call yourself a hero in front of Lord Wei?! He is a vulgar person, and he deserves to be so praised by adults! ”

"Eh, Zhengchang is modest, Wei knows that Zhengchang is related, Zhang Zhiyong is a real hero!"

At present, what Wei Shuo lacks most is a resourceful general, and he has not yet found a suitable Mo knife general for the Mo Dao team. Now that he saw Liu Yao, he suddenly fell in love, if it wasn't for Shao Xu's feelings, Wei Shuo really wanted to pull Liu Yao under his command immediately.

Seeing that Wei Shuo, who was powerful in Liaodong, attached so much importance to his son-in-law, Shao Xu also felt honored. I saw him echo and said: "Lord Wei's words are right, Zhengchang is indeed related, Zhang Zhiyong, often dare to charge alone." ”

"If Zhengchang is interested, he might as well stay in Liaodong for a while longer, some time ago, Wei just selected a thousand loyal and brave men from the 100,000 young men in Liaodong, and prepared to train them as Mo Daomen. In his spare time, Zhengchang might as well communicate with the Mo Dao Hands, so that they can see the heroes from the land of Yan Zhao. ”

In the face of Wei Shuo's fist and fist grandeur, Liu Yao had no choice but to smile bitterly and refused: "Thank you Lord Wei for your kindness, right now Shi Le's intention is Youzhou, I am afraid that I will not have time to stay in Liaodong longer, and when I have leisure in the future, I will definitely come to Liaodong to visit Lord Wei in person." ”

"Alas, I can't witness the heroic posture of Zhengchang with my own eyes, Wei deeply regrets it. However, it is reasonable to say that it is important to fight against Shile at the moment, and other things can only be said later. Wei Shuo said with disappointment.

When they came to the hall, everyone sat down. Tea was served, and everyone tasted the fragrance of tea while discussing cooperation matters.

"Lord Wei, please redeem Shao and say bluntly, I don't know how many reinforcements Liaodong can send once the situation in Youzhou changes?"

When Wei Shuo asked, he groaned slightly: "For Lord Shao, Wei has always admired him, so he didn't dare to hide it. As we all know, there is Changli County between Liaodong and Youzhou, and Changli is under the control of Murong Xianbei. For the Xianbei Yidi generation, Wei really can't fully believe it. That is to say, once Youzhou is in trouble, I can only rely on sea routes to connect with Youzhou. ”

"Even if all my sailors are dispatched, we can only transport less than 2,000 soldiers at a time. In the future, the situation in Liaodong will change greatly, and I think I will not be able to change anything with this little force. But Wei has another suggestion, but this suggestion has a very big impact on Lord Shao, Wei Shuo doesn't know if he should talk about it or not? ”

Although Shao Xu was very disappointed that Liaodong could only dispatch 2,000 men, considering the actual situation, he could not put all the blame on Wei Shuo. Hearing Wei Shuo's new suggestion today, Shao Xu said with a glimmer of hope: "If Master Wei has anything to say, you might as well say it directly." ”

"Lord Shao, Wei feels that if we want to rescue Wang Tingshi, the two of us must join forces. Because of the past, there is no basic trust between me and Wang Tingshi. But I am very relieved about Lord Shao's character. Therefore, I plan to quietly transfer part of the forces in Liaodong to the Yanci to hide, and when Shile sends troops to attack Youzhou in the future, I will immediately send a group of elites to the Yanci with the sailors, and then join forces with Lord Shao to attack Shile from the rear. Even though this battle could not completely eliminate Shiler, it could also catch Shile by surprise. ”

"Good strategy! Master Wei is so strategic! ”

"However, in this way, Lord Shao has been completely pushed to the hostile side of Shile, and with Shile's character of revenge, I am afraid that the safety of Ling Lang, who is a hostage in Shile's camp, will be endangered."
