Chapter 146: War in the Northwest

"Hey!" Sighing, Xu Shucai said with some emotion: "It's the eldest brother Wang Kai!" ”

"Big brother?" Wang Xu's eyes widened suddenly, and he exclaimed in disbelief: "It's actually the eldest brother?" ”

Wang Fei on the side saw Wang Xu's incredulous appearance, so he couldn't help but gently stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and said heavily: "Hmm! That's right, it's the eldest brother, and he took the initiative to ask for it. He said that as the eldest brother, he failed to win glory for the family, and when his heroic brother was innocently framed, he was unable to rescue him, so he made a strong request this time to replace you. Moreover, he said that you are the hope of the Wang family, even if you really want to cut off your head, you can't die, but you can completely change your identity to start over again. ”

Saying that, Wang Fei paused, and then sighed and continued: "Big brother, let me bring you a message." ”

"What?"

"We must revitalize the Wang family! If he dies, you will have to bear his share! ”

With Wang Fei's words, Wang Xu's eyes suddenly turned red, and tears flashed faintly. No wonder I felt very familiar at the time, no wonder I had a strange feeling when I passed by, it turned out that the person was the eldest brother Wang Kai. Thinking that there has always been a problem between himself and his eldest brother, but at a critical time, he can give so much and willingly stay in that dark prison. This kind of high righteousness and moral exercise made Wang Xu feel greatly shocked.

After being silent for a long time, a thick warm current also flowed in Wang Xu's heart, and the pride in his heart grew infinitely: In history, Cao Cao had a brother like Xiahou Yuan who was willing to take the blame for him, but I didn't expect that I, Wang Xu, also had it. Don't worry, big brother, I won't disappoint your expectations! And I'm sure I'll get you out and make your name go down in history......

Taking a deep breath, Wang Xu, who had made up his mind in his heart, quickly calmed down on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Second brother, wife!" After you go back, you must keep in touch with the ministers at home and the central government, and the eunuchs must also take care of them carefully. Tell my father that no matter how much money you spend, even if you go bankrupt, you won't be afraid. In short, no matter what method is used, first of all, we must ensure the safety of the eldest brother, and then rescue him as much as possible. ”

Saying that, Wang Xu paused before he continued: "But if you can't save it in a short time, don't be too anxious, otherwise it is very likely to reveal flaws." Don't worry, four years at the latest, when the time comes, I will definitely save my eldest brother no matter what, and I will personally find this group of eunuchs to settle the account! ”

After speaking, Wang Xu's fists were already clenched, and there was a murderous aura in his eyes that had not appeared for nearly half a year!

"Don't worry!" When Wang Fei heard the word eunuch, his eyes were also on fire, but he still replied with anger: "The two uncles and my father have already discussed, and they will not act rashly if they are not absolutely sure." And now he is also actively making efforts, the general He Jin last month to recruit my father as a general's palace official, my father has also agreed, it is estimated that there will be a chance to leave in a few days. The main thing is to contact all aspects of the matter nearby, and see if you can find opportunities! ”

"Hmm!" Hearing that his family was fully prepared, Wang Xu didn't say more, and after remembering this matter deeply, he immediately said: "Okay! Then let's not delay any more now, it will be dawn in the near future, let's leave Luoyang as soon as possible!"

Hearing this, everyone also nodded, and Zhou Zhi and Zhang Jing turned around and ran to the depths of the forest, and after a while, they brought out seven horses. Wang Xu didn't procrastinate, quickly turned on his horse, and galloped away with everyone to the east......

Because everyone got rid of the monitors sent by the Spirit Emperor, they set off from Shanyang County to Luoyang, and they had been missing for so many days, so they all had to rush back, otherwise those monitors would be suspicious. Therefore, despite the reluctance of everyone to separate so quickly, they had to speed up the trip.

Except for the necessary rest, everyone was on the way, so two days later they left the Sili area, entered the boundary of Yanzhou Chenliu, and rushed to Xiangyi in the east of Chenliu County on the morning of the fourth day.

At the three-fork intersection of the official road outside Xiangyi City, Wang Xu was also going to be separated from everyone. Because Xu Shu and the others went home to go northeast, through Jiyin County and then to Shanyang County. Wang Xu, on the other hand, plans to go south to dominate the Jiangnan region, which is relatively weaker than the north. Although you can walk for a while to separate, it is a matter of time or time anyway, and the closer you are to home, the greater the possibility of being discovered, so it is better to separate in Xiangyi.

At the time of parting, everyone was a little sad. After half a year, we finally saw each other, but we only got along for four days before we were separated again, and this time I don't know how long it will take to see each other again.

When everyone said goodbye, Xu Shu was already full of tears, and no matter what others thought, she snuggled into Wang Xu's arms in front of the public. Although passers-by looked sideways from time to time, Zhou Zhi and Zhang Jing's occasional glances immediately scared these people away.

In fact, Wang Xu's heart is the heaviest, not only because of the separation, but also for other reasons. Originally, according to his original plan, at least half of Wang Fei, Zhang Jing, Zhou Zhi, and Gao Shun should stay in the army to lead the troops, so that no matter what the reason for getting out of prison, at least they have a little foundation.

But in the past few days, he learned from the public that after the Yellow Turban was pacified, all the generals he promoted were suspended for review, although they did not directly revoke their military positions, but they also made everyone idlers, and if they continued to stay in the army, they would also restrict their freedom. Therefore, everyone immediately resigned en masse and left the army, and the imperial court did not stop it, and all of them approved.

Now Wang Fei went home and became his son-in-law again, while Han Meng was watching the compound at Wang Xu's house, and he didn't let him come with him this time. Of course, Xu Huang went back to his hometown to honor his parents. Gao Shun chose to become Wang Xu's retainer and stayed in the Wang family. Zhou Zhi and Zhang Jing have nowhere to go, and now they have become the captains of the Wang family's guards. Moreover, Zhou Zhi also took his parents to Gaoping.

As for the people's troops, they are cut and scattered, and the remaining elites are all assigned to Huangfu Song except for returning to their original station, and now no one knows where to go, but Huangfu Song will not treat them badly. Therefore, really speaking, only Gao Shun's remaining dozen or so trapped soldiers could follow along as the royal family's guards, which was the result of Huangfu Song's special care at that time.

However, because of this, they were all put on the watch list and counted as the Wang family. Among the people, only Xu Sheng has just come out of the mountain, and because he has been out to study art since he was a child, except for a limited number of people, no one knows his identity, and he has never appeared in public. So it is not known to everyone.

And this time, for the sake of Wang Xu's safety, Xu Sheng's purpose in coming with him was to protect Wang Xu all the time and save him as a guard. And Wang Xu didn't refuse, after all, it's quite lonely to go on the road alone, and it's good to have one more person to talk to. Besides, it's stupid to go back and stay without being monitored, waiting to be found and put on the "blacklist"!

Although Wang Xu was very heavy because the original plan was disrupted, he didn't come out, after all, there was no need to worry everyone.

At this moment, they are separated, but fortunately, they are all big men, and the women are only Xu Shu, otherwise I really don't know how sad it will be and increase the pressure.

After a few words, although everyone was sad, they didn't say anything more. And Wang Xu also pulled Xu Shu aside, because he had something to explain to Xu Shu alone. Everyone also thought that he was going to say a few love words with Xu Shu alone, so they consciously walked away and didn't want to disturb. It's just that the only thing that makes Wang Xu a little depressed is Zhou Zhi's smile, which is really obscene!

But he didn't bother to worry about Zhou Zhi, and after pulling Xu Shu to the forest, he immediately asked sternly: "Wife, what is the current situation in the northwest?" All I could get in prison was some useless battle reports, and I couldn't ask questions in front of everyone these days, so I didn't know much about the situation. To tell you, with our current situation, the battle situation in the northwest is likely to be the key to my turnaround. Whether you can get the territory before the death of the Spirit Emperor depends on it. Otherwise, it will not be difficult to start from scratch in the future! ”

"Hmmm! Absolutely! I know everything about the Northwest! ”

"Huh? Do you know I care about the war in the Northwest? Wang Xu suddenly asked strangely.

"Not really!" Smiling gently, Xu Shu knew that Wang Xu was anxious, and he was not verbose, so he immediately explained.

"In fact, not long after you were imprisoned, the Xian Lingqiang of Beidi County, the Longxi Caohan Division, the Heguan group of bandits, and the Huangzhong Yi Conghu rebelled together. Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou were elected as leaders, and Bian Yun was kidnapped, and Han Yue was the main general. Now Bian Yun and Han Yue have changed their names to Bian Zhang because of the rebellion, and Han Sui has done so. After that, they captured Jincheng County and killed Taishou Chen Yi. All the way is like a broken foot, attacking the city and conquering the land, leading the entire northwest chaos. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Shu paused before continuing: "Anyway, I don't know the specific situation very well, but at that time, Huangfu Song wrote me a letter, he said that since the Northwest War, the imperial court is at the time of employing people, if the time is right, you can find a way to ensure that you come out to make meritorious contributions." Let me tell my family about it, and contact your grandfather's protΓ©gΓ© and old friend in this regard, and think of a way together. That's why I'm particularly concerned about the Northwest. ”

After listening, Wang Xu finally understood, but he couldn't help but smile in surprise: "I didn't expect that your ability was very recognized by Huangfu Song, and you didn't even contact Wang Fei, but contacted you!" ”

"Of course, the battle I commanded to break Zhang Liang was no worse than you!"

"Yes, my wife is amazing! Better than me, okay! You better tell me about the situation in the northwest later, I don't know this history, and I didn't care about it before. ”

"Aren't you familiar with history books? There are times when you don't know? Saying that, Xu Shu glanced at Wang Xu coquettishly, and then dragged his voice and said: "I don't have much information I can get, basically it is that Liangzhou Assassin Shi Zuochang was cut off because it was unfavorable to quell the rebellion, and he was sued by Gai Xun, the chief of Hanyang, for embezzling military salaries." The Liangzhou Thorn Shi who took office immediately afterwards is a Fufeng man named Song Xiao, what about this person! It's a bit funny, after learning about the situation in the northwest, he said that he wanted to copy a large number of "The Book of Filial Piety", and then let everyone read it, so as to preach morality to quell the rebellion. Gai Xun admonished him and did not listen, but he immediately played a copy of him, so he was removed from office less than two months after taking office. ”

"As for now! It was a person named Yang Yong who was the assassin, and that Gai Xun was also promoted to be the Taishou of Hanyang, but the situation in the northwest is now impossible to reverse, and even Leng Zheng and Xia Yu, the two captains of Huqiang, have died in battle, and the entire Liangzhou is in chaos, and the soldiers of the county government are also isolated and fighting separately. So the two of them only stared dryly! Anyway, in my opinion, this northwest, I'm afraid it's really hopeless......"
