In April of the first year of Yongchang, the main force of the Liaodong Army, which had been motionless, suddenly exerted its might, and several cities such as Pingshu, Zhangwu, and Wuyuan in Kedong recovered a large area of territory in Hejian and Zhangwu counties in one fell swoop.

Immediately afterwards, the army moved south from Zhangwu and Hejian, and killed Nanpi, an important town in the Bohai Sea, from the left and right flanks.

At the same time, Jizhou Assassin Shi Shao continued to lead the army from Leling to the north, and also killed Nanpi.

Zhang Jin, the general of Nanpi, learned that the Liaodong Army had captured Hejian and Zhangwu counties, and he knew that the situation in Nanpi was critical!

Zhang Jin was born in Qianhu and was full of hatred for Liaodong, so even in the face of the pressure of the army, he never thought of surrendering. On the one hand, he reorganized the troops, horses, and materials to prepare to defend Nanpi; On the other side, envoys were sent to the rear plains, Qinghe, Julu, and Anping counties to ask for help.

In the face of the 300,000 Liaodong Army marching south, the defenders in Jizhou were already frightened, for fear of being attacked by the Liaodong Army.

Therefore, although various localities received Zhang Jin's letter for help, most of the guards did not dare to give up the fortified city to rescue Nanpi.

At the same time, during the march, Wei Shuo received the news that Shao Xu led the army north to Nanpi, and was overjoyed, and he immediately ordered the army to speed up the march and strive to join Shao Xu as soon as possible.

At the beginning of April, the two armies of Wei Shuo and Shao Xu finally succeeded in meeting under the city of Nanpi.

Looking at the white-haired Shao Xu, Wei Shuo was full of emotion. In history, Huaxia has been able to turn danger into disaster at critical moments, which is not unrelated to the bloody struggle of loyal people like Shao Xu and Zu Ti.

Shao Xu has been guarding Leling for more than ten years, and he has worked hard and complained, which can be described as a high achievement. Originally, in history, after Wang Jun and Liu Kui were defeated one after another, Shao Xu was unable to support himself, and was finally killed by Shi Hu who broke through Fuping City.

Now, due to Wei Shuo's unexpected arrival, Shao Xu is not only safe and sound, but also has become a world-famous anti-Hu hero. Although Shao Xu's son unfortunately died at the hands of Shi Le, his daughter and son-in-law were already famous in Liaodong Tiger General

"Shao Gong, the kid has been waiting for a long time!"

For Shao Xu, Wei Shuo has respect and has never regarded him as his subordinate, but respects him as an elder like Liu Kun.

Therefore, seeing Shao Xu's arrival, he dismounted from a distance and stood aside, waiting there respectfully.

Shao Xu also admired Wei Shuo, to this day he still remembers the scene when Liaodong aided Leling by sea, it can be said that without Liaodong's selfless assistance, Leling may have already fallen.

"The old man is late, so the big Sima and the generals have been waiting for a long time."

Under the rising sun, bathed in the spring sunshine, Wei Shuo and Shao Xu laughed and hugged each other. The rest of the people also stepped forward to greet Shao Xu, the only pity is that Shao Yuniang, Liu Yao and his wife were not at the scene, one of them guarded Hexi, the other guarded the grassland, and did not participate in the southern expedition.

Surrounded by Wen Qiao, Shao Xu, Lu Chang, Han Shou, Chen An, Beigong Chun, Jia Jian, Nengchen and others, Wei Shuo and Shao Xu walked side by side into the Chinese army's big tent.

"Shao Gong has worked hard! In the past ten years, he has guarded Leling, faced with the strong Hulu, and is mighty and unyielding, showing the very valuable spiritual quality of the Chinese nation, which is worthy of learning from everyone. Compared with Cheng Yao, Xu Guang and other generations who have forgotten their ancestors, Shao Gong is the treasure of our nation. ”

In the face of Wei Shuo's praise, Shao Xu said modestly: "Da Sima has a good reputation, these old men can defend Leling steadily, and thanks to Liaodong's spare no effort to support, the people of Leling can feel at ease, and the defenders have no worries; The soldiers of the two and three armies used their lives to kill the enemy bravely; Three rely on the wise leadership of the Great Sima. ”

"How dare the old man take credit?"

"Hahaha, Shao Gong is too modest, how can you attribute the credit for keeping Leling to someone? Who in the world doesn't know that it was the boss who worked hard to save Leling. ”

After everyone exchanged pleasantries, they turned the topic back to the current war. In view of the fact that Shao Xu has been guarding Leling for many years and has a good understanding of the surrounding situation, he will naturally introduce it first.

Shao Xu was not polite, got up, took a step forward, bowed and said: "Nanpi guard general Zhang Jin is resourceful and born in Qianhu, and he is Shile's confidant. The old man had fought with him many times before, but he rarely had the upper hand, which shows that this person is not an ordinary person. ”

"However, right now, Nanpi is surrounded by our legion, and even if Zhang Jin has three heads and six arms, he can't turn over any flowers."

Wei Shuo bowed his head slightly and said: "Shao Gong is wise and insightful. In the past few days, he has fought with the defenders several times, and Zhang Jin, the general of Shuoguan Hu, is quite resourceful, although he cannot be regarded as a military commander, but he is not comparable to ordinary Hu generals. However, as Shao Gong said, now that our army occupies the right time, place, and people, Zhang Jin is already unable to fly. ”

"Shao Gong, I don't know what the situation is in other counties?"

"In order to guard against Leling, Shi Le deployed a large number of troops in the plains and Bohai counties, and most of the guards were from the Qianhu family, and there were few people from the Jin people. In addition to Nanpi Zhang Jin, there is also Wang Lang, the general of Qianhu in Pingyuan City, who is also brave and good at fighting, and is deeply trusted by Shile Shihu. ”

"As for other counties such as Qinghe and Pingyuan, because they are deep in the interior of Jizhou, and the Yellow River is a natural risk, coupled with the strong power of the local clans, they are basically under the control of the family. As long as the lord's army is close to the city, Qinghe, Pingyuan and other places are likely to surrender without a fight. ”

The Liaodong Army Council had not yet ended, but he saw the guards hurriedly break into the big tent, knelt down on one knee, and said in a loud voice: "My lord, Qinghe Cui Yu asks to see you." ”

Wei Shuo was taken aback, originally he thought that he would have to wait for the Liaodong Army to reach Qinghe before he could get Cui's help, but he didn't expect Qinghe Cui's to send someone to contact him so quickly, it seems that Cui's is eager to change his image in front of Wei Shuo.

Cui Yu is a descendant of Cao Cao's advisor Cui Yan and the son of Cui Yue's cousin Cui Yu. This time, he came to see Da Sima Weishuo on behalf of the Cui family in order to fulfill his previous promise and remove Qinghe Cui from the "Traitor Record".

Except for a few people who are familiar with the inside story, most of the people in the account are shocked and inexplicable, and they can't figure out why the Qinghe Cui clan came from. Even Shao Xu was obviously stunned, he only knew that Qinghe Cui's family was Shi Le's nephew Shi Hu's father-in-law's family, and he couldn't understand Qinghe Cui's intention.

Most of the people at the scene subconsciously looked at Wei Shuo, thinking that this matter had nothing to do with Da Sima, otherwise the Qinghe Cui clan would not have run to Nanpi City for no reason.

Sure enough, he saw Wei Shuo smile and explained: "Here, I want to explain to you that due to the confidentiality of the matter, the matter of the Hebei family's secret defection to Liaodong has not been conveyed to too many subordinates. Therefore, a certain dare to assert that Cui Yu's coming this time must be related to cooperating with our army to seize Jizhou. ”

"Oh, I see! Just now, the old man was still puzzled, this Qinghe Cui clan is obviously Shihu Yue's family, why did he go to Nanpi City to see Da Sima, and it turned out that the Cui clan had already secretly taken refuge in my Liaodong for a long time. Tsk, I have to say that Da Sima's methods are really powerful, and even the Hebei family has secretly subdued it, and now it seems that the immortality of the Hu is not tolerated. ”

"Okay, let's stop talking about it, let's invite the guests in first."

Not long after, a young gentleman, led by the guards, walked into the tent with his head held high.

After seeing the Great Sima Weishuo sitting on the main seat, he hurriedly came to the front and bowed deeply and said, "Cui Yu meets the Great Sima!" ”

"Is there something important for your father Pyle?" Wei Shuo didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the road.

"Back to Da Sima, my father sent a boy to come, and one said hello to Da Sima; The second is to report to Da Sima about the situation of the Hebei family. ”

"Let's talk about it."

"No! Under the secret operation of my Qinghe Cui family, more than three-quarters of the family is willing to serve Liaodong as the master, and all the heads of the family are also ready to welcome the big Sima into Hebei. Especially in Qinghe County, it has basically been secretly controlled by my Cui clan, as long as the Liaodong Army arrives, it can be completely received without spending a single soldier. ”

Looking at Cui Yu, who was a little proud, Wei Shuo did not hesitate to praise him, and said with a smile: "Okay, Cui's really didn't disappoint me, go back and tell your father, just say that Cui's has made great contributions, and when I complete the great cause of driving Hu in the future, I will ask for credit for Cui's family." ”

"Thank you Da Sima, the kid will definitely tell Da Sima's words to his father without a word."

Hearing what he wanted to hear, he felt that the family's plan was not in vain, the smile on Cui Yu's face became more and more charming, and he didn't forget to express his gratitude to Wei Shuo again and again before leaving.

When Cui Yu left, everyone present recovered from the shock.

It wasn't until now that they realized that Da Sima had been preparing for today's battle in Jizhou several years ago. (To be continued.) )
