Ten breaths, this time in the blink of an eye, can not be shorter, but at this time, Jiang Xu fell into the longest and most difficult final election in his life, falling, a thousand people may be able to live, not falling, Zhang Wei said very clearly, then there is only one way to die. Jiang Xu has never been afraid of death, but he is afraid of letting so many people follow him to die for no reason. The adjutant general took the lead in shouting: "General, fight." Then a thousand people shouted, "I will follow the general to the death." ”

Zhang Wei raised his head for the first time after turning around, these thousand people moved Zhang Wei, not their spirit of not being afraid of death, but the loyalty of these people to Jiang Xu, which moved Zhang Wei. Zhang Wei: "General Jiang, you have a group of good soldiers, you are not afraid of death, they are not afraid of death, as long as you give the order, these people will definitely take their last breath for you, General Jiang, can you bear it?" "There is no possibility of survival, Jiang Xu knows that as long as he does not surrender, there will be no one left in a thousand people. Looking at the perseverance of his subordinates and listening to what Zhang Wei said, Jiang Xu's heart was full of helplessness and pride, this is my soldier. The soldier that Jiang Xu is proud of, and the soldier that Jiang Xu sighs for, such a good soldier, but unfortunately he didn't meet a better general, Jiang Xu thought.

"I'll descend." There was no expression, Jiang Xu said two words. The adjutant general shouted, a thousand people shouted, they knew, surrender, these soldiers were able to survive, but Jiang Xu's reputation was ruined, and they couldn't bear it. Jiang Xu roared angrily: "Think about your family, all of them are in Ji County." ”

Zhang Wei walked down step by step, and retreated from the guards who nervously followed up to draw his sword: "General Jiang is a gentleman, there is no need for you to be like this." Zhang Wei walked up to Jiang Xu, ignored Jiang Xu's angry eyes, and said, "I am also a general." "Although Zhang Wei is also an independent general in Shuzhong, his reputation is not obvious, and it is normal for others to not recognize Zhang Wei. Jiang Xu was taken aback, Zhang Wei is also a general? How big is the chance that a general will be able to take charge of an army from the beginning, very small. Then Zhang Wei said again: "General Gao Shun is a slave, and General Huang Hansheng is a farmer. "Now the two most famous generals in Yizhou.

Jiang Xu was taken aback again, everyone knew that Gao Shun was invincible, and everyone knew that Huang Zhong was brave and martial in the world, but few outsiders knew so much about the origins of these two people. Zhang Wei's meaning is very clear, that is, in Yizhou, no one cares about your identity, as long as you have the ability, you have status. Jiang Xu surrendered, and a thousand people rushed to take the upper valley with interest, but they didn't know that this was a trap at all. In less than half an hour, Gao Shun appeared that Chen Lin did not come, originally Chen Lin wanted to chase Jiang Xu in person, but in the end he was persuaded to stop, two thousand guards and Yan Yan stayed in Ji County, and at the same time constantly commanded the actions of Huang Zhong and others.

Gao Shun: "General Zhang, the lord has an order, if General Zhang can come to the upper valley in time, after repelling the enemy army, leave 1,500 people to garrison the upper valley and Mushan, and the rest of the army will immediately rush to Ji County with the general." After saying Chen Lin's order, Gao Shun said in a normal tone: "General Zhang, I didn't expect the result to be like this, if the lord knew that General Zhang said that General Jiang had surrendered without spending a single soldier, he would be happy, and now the army is also tired, then according to the lord's order, he will lead his troops to Ji County early tomorrow morning." But this General Jiang wants to take him to see the lord first, and he will leave Chen Guo in the camp, so tomorrow morning you will escort the prisoners to Ji County, I don't know what the general wants? ”

Since it was Chen Lin's order, how could Zhang Wei not obey. Gao Shun came to see Jiang Xu again: "General Jiang, the lord of a certain family wants to see the general, and asks the general to work again, and immediately leave for Ji County with a certain person." "Jiang Xu is now the one who put down the knife, and a thousand of his subordinates are all watched, how can he not agree, and it is also a blessing to be with Gao Shun, the first general in Yizhou.

Li Gang's father and son in Tianshui did not wait until Tianming, that is, when Jiang Xu surrendered two hundred miles away, Li Gang sent scouts to explore slowly to the west, wanting to see what was going on in Ji County. The news was taken back, but the Yizhou soldiers and horses entered Ji County. Frightened, Li Gang hurriedly asked for help again, but this time he said it was a mess, and he couldn't wait to say that Chen Lin was a heavenly soldier.

Another day passed, Chen Lin, Fa Zheng and others stood at the gate of Ji County, and the people all over the city watched and discussed. Originally, there was still a trace of fear and rejection of this sudden army, but the military discipline of Chen Lin's army in the past two or three days has been recognized by the people. The common people are so simple, as long as you give him a little respect and a little benefit, he can accept you. Looking at the people in the city, they guessed what Chen Lin was doing, Chen Lin smiled and said to Fa Zheng: "Xiaozhi, it seems that we did the right thing today." ”

It turned out that Chen Lin knew that although Jiang Xu's official position was low, he had an extraordinary status in Ji County and was very respected by the people, so after Chen Lin learned that Zhang Wei had designed Jiang Xu to surrender, Gao Shun and Jiang Xu returned to Ji County in advance. Chen Lin decided to go out of the city to greet Jiang Xu in person, one was to show the people in the city, and the other was to sincerely admire Jiang Xu for such a good official.

The crowd said: "What is this General Wei leading so many people to stand here early in the morning?" The other person said: "You don't know, it is said that it was General Jiang who surrendered to General Wei, and General Wei is welcoming General Jiang." Then the man cried out, "What? General Jiang surrendered? ”

Others shouted one after another: "What is this, what is General Wei, what is there when you surrender to General Wei, besides, you see where General Wei's soldiers and horses are like other soldiers and horses, such a general is a rare good general in the world, and our General Jiang is abandoning the darkness and turning to the light." ”

The crowd talked about the wind and clouds, and saw a fast horse rushing back in front of them: "My lord, General Gao is here." ”

At this time, Gao Shun and his party of more than 100 people also received Chen Lin's news, and the scout ran back and said: "General Gao, Ji County is about to arrive, the lord-" The scout hesitated, Gao Shun's face turned dark, and shouted: "What is the order?" The scout was shocked, this Gao Shun was not joking, and hurriedly said: "It's not an order, but the lord led the officials to wait at the city gate, and it is said that it has been more than an hour." ”

Gao Shun was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and laughed at Jiang Xu: "General Jiang, it seems that the lord attaches great importance to the general." Jiang Xu was surprised, this, this Chen Lin was actually waiting for himself.

Sure enough, seeing a group of people standing in the scorching sun outside Ji County, Gao Shun glanced at Jiang Xu: "The general believes it now, right?" Then he ran out with a drink, went straight to Chen Lin, and hurriedly jumped off the horse. Jiang Xu's mind was confused, and he saw a heroic man in his thirties walking towards him step by step. Jiang Xu knew that this was only the Wei General Chen Lin, who had heard of the name for a long time, so he hurriedly jumped off the horse, walked a few steps and knelt down on one knee: "Jiang Xu, the general of the defeated army, meet the Hou Ye." ”

Chen Lin took a look, and saw that Jiang Xu had a rough appearance, but his words and deeds were elegant, and he also had a heroic spirit on his body, plus Ji County praised Jiang Xu, Chen Lin was preconceived, and now he saw Jiang Xu so demeanor, and he liked it very much. hurriedly stepped forward to help Jiang Xu with both hands, without the slightest pretentiousness, and said: "General, please come up, the name of the general, but I heard it when I first entered Longxi, and I can see it today, and it is enough for my life." ”

At this time, the people of Ji County really saw that Chen Lin really went out of the city to greet Jiang Xulai in person, and some people shouted loudly: "Long live General Wei." Then the other people also decided that this Chen Lin was indeed a good official, so they shouted along. Chen Lin's face changed suddenly, long live, that is what the emperor dares to bear, and hurriedly drank the guards to persuade the people. The Fa Zheng next to him was very happy in his heart, and the people's hearts were available. But Jiang Xu was surprised. The people here, Jiang Xu knows, how many years, have never supported a person like today. Jiang Xu couldn't help but glance at Chen Lin twice, and at this time, Jiang Xu unconsciously had another taste in his heart.

Fa Zheng: "My lord, General Huang and General Fang have captured Longxi, and now there are 5,000 soldiers and horses in Longxi City, and the north can be worry-free, and the lord can now implement the second step plan, that is, to eliminate the Tianshui defenders in the shortest possible time, otherwise our army will always be not very at ease." ”

Chen Lin: "Yes, within two days, Li Zhiran and others will definitely get the news, they will be able to go to Tianshui in five or six days, filial piety, that day the water guard will be Li Zhiran's own family, and it looks like this person is a stable person, he has not left Tianshui half a step, if this person is determined to stick to it, it is troublesome." ”

Fa Zheng: "My lord, if Li Gang can't hold on, he won't be able to endanger my Ji County, I'm afraid that this person will go out of the city to attack me, but, as far as I know, Li Gang is not a stable person, and he can't hold out because he is timid." Lord, even if Li Gang can't endanger our army, but before Li Zhiran's army comes, being able to eat these 4,000 men and horses is also a way to weaken the enemy army. The lord, I just think that this matter is not impossible, the key lies in Jiang Boya. ”

Chen Lin: "Jiang Boya is a Wei general Hou Ye, I'm afraid that it won't be so easy to surrender our army." ”

Fa Zheng smiled: "What does the lord think of Jiang Boya?" ”

"Well, to be able to come up with a plan to cut off our army's retreat and act decisively, this person is not simple, if it weren't for Tianshui's inaction, I'm afraid that our army is really in a bit of trouble."

Fa Zheng said: "My lord, Jiang Boya has a good reputation in Ji County and even in the entire Longxi and Tianshui, how can such a character be comparable to ordinary people." And this person is just a small county lieutenant, it can be seen that the official position is not high, the lord thinks about it, if this person is a school captain, is too guarded, then what kind of achievement will it be. Li Zhiran has such a sharp sword and can't use it, but he uses Li Gang and the like, and now it is the lord who gives Jiang Boya the opportunity to show his skills, presumably Jiang Boya will not refuse. The lord, I know that Jiang Boya has a son, Jiang Wei, who is only three years old now, and this son is also said to be talented and intelligent, isn't the lady of the lord's family also the phoenix among people. ”

Fa Zheng didn't say anything further, but it surprised Chen Lin, this Fa Zheng has now started the idea of Chen Lin's daughter, which means that he wants to marry Jiang Xu, let Chen Lin's daughter marry Jiang Wei, and then Jiang Xu can still refuse Chen Lin's surrender? Chen Lin didn't refuse immediately, because although what Fa Zheng said surprised Chen Lin, it made Chen Lin feel that there was nothing wrong with it. Chen Lin didn't speak, and went straight to find Jiang Xu.

After chatting with Jiang Xu for a lot, Jiang Xu's eyes became more and more softened, and he also admired Chen Lin, Chen Lin: "Boya, it is said that you have a son, who is very smart, you might as well let him come out and have a look." Jiang Xu didn't know why, but Fa Zheng next to him was ecstatic. Jiang Xu's influence is very great, really big, if Chen Lin can really marry Jiang Xu as he said, the people of Xiliang in Shuijun will definitely not treat Chen Lin as an outsider. It's not that Fa Zheng didn't think about finding someone who was more famous, but isn't it nothing, Jiang Xu has become the best candidate.

After a while, I saw a little ghost-like Ji Ling kid come out, Chen Lin looked at it, he smiled with satisfaction, and asked a few questions, how old are you, etc., I saw Jiang Wei's words were concise and smooth. Jiang Wei retreated, Chen Lin glanced at Fa Zheng, Fa Zheng nodded violently, Chen Lin: "Boya, there is a daughter, the same age as your son, and I see that this son is smart and clever, why don't I get married to my two families, I don't know if it's good?" ”

Jiang Xuhong thundered, he would never have imagined that Chen Lin would make such a move, and his heart was both happy and other indescribable feelings. How could Fa Zheng next to him not move his mouth to help, and after some persuasion, Chen Lin just looked at Jiang Xu silently. Jiang Xu stood up, turned around and looked at the sky outside the mansion, Fa Zheng was about to say, Chen Lin shook his head, and signaled not to disturb Jiang Xu. At this moment, Jiang Xu turned his back to Chen Lin, although he couldn't see Chen Lin's expression, he didn't hear any dissatisfied voice. Jiang Xu was completely moved by Chen Lin's magnanimity, a person of Chen Lin's status said goodbye to a general like him, and he was still hesitant, but Chen Lin did not show a trace of unhappiness, but this bearing made Jiang Xu admire.

Jiang Xu turned around and knelt down: "The last general, Jiang Xu, meet the lord." Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and met the lord, which means agreeing, Jiang Xu and Chen Lin Fazheng are not fools, they both know what the relationship is. Jiang Xu worshiped the Lord, which is equivalent to admitting Jiang Wei's family affairs, and from then on, Jiang Xu was afraid that he could only focus on Chen Lin, and the future of the Jiang family must be in the Chen family.

At this time, Fa Zheng was very out of place but no one stopped him from talking about Tianshui: "General Jiang, I discussed with the lord and wanted to annihilate the thousands of enemy troops in Tianshui before Li Zhiran and others rushed to Tianshui, I don't know what General Jiang's opinion is?" ”

Jiang Xu's role is also fast, and he worships the lord before he can immediately speak as Chen Lin's general, only to see Jiang Xu say: "Lord, I have explained Mushan's plan to Tianshui before, but I don't know why I didn't see Tianshui's reinforcements, but the lord is obstructing?" ”

Chen Lin shook his head: "It is true that a certain person sent troops to obstruct it, but he didn't see the defenders of Tianshui go out of the city at all." ”

Jiang Xu sighed, and then thought that he was now on Chen Lin's side, so he said: "I'm afraid that Li Gang's father and son are bad, these two are timid and afraid of death, but they are extremely merit and greedy for money." There are more than 4,300 soldiers and horses in Tianshui City, and there are no cavalry, thinking that I have hundreds of thousands of iron cavalry in Xiliang in previous years, and now there are less than 100,000 iron cavalry in Xiliang in successive wars. "Now the cavalry in Xiliang is getting fewer and fewer year by year, there are fewer and fewer authentic horse farms, there are wars everywhere, and there are only thirty or forty thousand cavalry here in Li Dao Guo Yan, and in addition, there are many cavalry scattered everywhere, Ma Teng Han Sui also has a lot of cavalry.

Jiang Xu told everything he knew one by one, as long as he thought it would be useful.

Chen Lin, Jiang Xu, and Fa Zheng are the only three of them, and they have been plotting for more than an hour, but they don't know if they can finally get their wish.
