Chapter 1018: The Desire of the Heart

Guo Xiu rushed to Yewang, and immediately on the hillside, he saw the camp that stretched for several miles, and his mood fell to the bottom.

The military might of the Jin army is by no means comparable to that of the dying Wei State, if nothing else, the general trend of Wei hegemony to dominate the world has been achieved, just waiting for the last blow to be launched. It's easier said than done to turn the tide.

"Wei Ba is not dead, there is absolutely no possibility. Only by rising up can there be a glimmer of hope. Guo Xiaoxian, you must succeed. Guo Xiu sighed softly, muttered to himself, kicked the horse's belly lightly, and galloped towards the camp.

When I arrived at the gate of the camp, it didn't take long for someone to take Guo Xiu to Yu Yan's tent. After waiting for half an hour in front of Yu Yan's tent, Guo Xiu saw Yu Yan.

Yu Yan sat in the center, and the young and heroic Wei Wu sat aside, burying his head between the copywriting, carefully looking at a thick book of battle plans. Guo Xiu frowned, a little strange. He didn't know Wei Wu, but from Wei Wu's gorgeous and sophisticated armor, it could be seen that this strange young general was not of a low level, and should be second only to Wei Ba, at least not lower than Yu Yan, but he was sitting in the guest seat in Yu Yan, and he seemed a little respectful and humble. However, what attracted Guo Xiu more was the battle plan in Wei Wu's hand, with so much content, it naturally could not be a small battle, maybe it was a plan for the siege of Luoyang, or even a battle plan for unifying the world.

Guo Xiu couldn't wait to snatch the book and take a look.

"Guo Xiaoxian, you came so fast?" Yu Yan smiled and stretched out his hand to signal Guo Xiu to take a seat: "If you come two days later, we will take the entire Jizhou." ”

Guo Xiu protested: "I'm afraid Julu, Handan, and Yecheng are not so easy to attack. ”

"It's up to who's right." Yu Yan smiled indifferently: "For us, it's just a matter of how much it costs. ”

Guo Xiu was speechless. He admitted that Yu Yan was right, the siege tactics had changed, and the city walls no longer had absolute superiority. As long as there are enough thunderbolts and enough fire bombs, it is not impossible to conquer the city quickly. If the defender wants to defend the city, it can only use a large number of thunderbolts and fire bombs to counterattack.

Obviously, in this regard, Wei Ba has an absolute advantage. In the face of this disparity in strength. No matter how many clever things there are. There is nowhere to go.

Guo Xiu now has this sense of powerlessness. According to his character, he will be like Yu Yan's lips and swords. The problem is that even if he gets the upper hand in the debate, it is useless and angers Yu. He probably won't see Wei Ba. Delayed the big thing.

Guo Xiuqiang pressed his anger. New terms of negotiation were handed in.

Yu Yan looked at it: "County marquis? His brow furrowed, looking a little displeased.

Guo Xiu sighed, it was really a dragon swimming on the beach. Tiger fell in Pingyang, when the first emperor was there, he refused to be the king, but now it's good, even a county marquis can't be obtained.

Yu Yan raised his eyelids and glanced at Guo Xiu: "To be honest, I think the county marquis is unlikely." However, being able to retreat from the prince to the marquis shows that you are still sincere. In this case, I will present it to King Jin for a look, maybe he will open the net. ”

"Thank you very much." Guo Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Can I meet King Jin?" ”

"If King Jin is willing to accept your condition, you will naturally be able to meet him."

"That's great." Guo Xiu laughed, trying his best to make himself more relaxed. "I brought some rare paints from the palace, and the images I painted will last forever and never fade."

Yu Yan nodded, turned around and asked Guo Xiu to rest. Early the next morning, Yu Yan sent someone to say that the King of Jin wanted to see him.

Guo Xiu was surprised and delighted, packed his things, and got ready, and then followed a military officer to Wei Ba's Chinese army tent.

Wei Ba is practicing boxing with Wei Wu, and the brothers come and go, advancing and retreating freely, like dancing, pleasing to the eye. Even if Guo Xiu saw it, he couldn't help but secretly praise it. Although the cloud hand is not very strong and powerful, it is very personable, which is very suitable for people with status to practice. Guo Xiu has seen Xiahou Mao practice and Cao Hong practice, but they are not as imposing as Wei Ba.

"The king has a good fist." Guo Xiu praised sincerely.

"Ha Lu Ha ......" Wei Ba laughed and retracted his momentum: "Guo Jun came and went in a hurry, hard work." However, Empress Dowager Guo can recognize the situation, and Guo Jun's hard work is worth it. She is willing to go to the country as a marquis, which I think is very difficult. For the specific conditions, you can discuss it with Yu Sacrifice Wine. If it is feasible, I will report it to the Chang'an court and ask His Majesty for approval. ”

Guo Xiu was a little disappointed, he waited all night, but he didn't expect Wei Ba to have no opinion on being alone with him at all, and called him over early in the morning, just telling him that he had agreed to their request. Guo Xiu thought for a while, and said: "The king of cultivation is full of energy, if you can take a picture here, I think future generations will definitely be able to be impressed by the king's spirit." I wonder if the king has any time? ”

Wei Ba raised his eyebrows and smacked his lips regretfully: "It's not too late to talk about the portrait later, let's talk about business first." Deng Aibu is already approaching Julu, and I am about to go north, if you can't reach an agreement before I conquer Julu, and wait for Jizhou to change hands, I'm afraid the marquis will also change. ”

Guo Xiu had no choice but to retreat.

……

Wei Ba did not deceive Guo Xiu, and when Guo Xiu was negotiating with Yu Yan, he ordered Wei Wu to lead 10,000 cavalry north, and he followed closely behind and attacked Jizhou. The main forces of Jizhou are led by Pei Hui and are holding on to Julu, and there are also defenders in Yecheng and Handan, but the number is very limited. After Wei Wu led the army into Wei County, the Wei army did not dare to go out of the city to meet the battle, so they could only close the city gate and defend it.

In just half a month, there were only three big cities left in Jizhou, such as Julu, and all the other cities were lost.

At this time, Chen Tai, who had been in Deng Ai's army, rushed to Wei Ba's camp and asked to see Wei Ba.

Wei Ba was very polite, personally greeted him, and introduced Chen Tai into the big tent. Chen Tai was inexplicably grateful, thanked him again and again, and then put forward his own request.

"The king, Tai is presumptuous and wants to see the evidence about Cao Fang's life with his own eyes."

Wei Ba smiled: "I know that you came in a hurry, not to see me." ”

Chen Tai smiled awkwardly. He came from Deng Ai, and of course Deng Ai would relay the relevant information to Wei Ba. Wei Ba said this, that is, he just laughed.

Wei Ba then asked Chen Tai to take him to find Yinfan. Yinbo had already prepared, spread out the relevant documents in front of Chen Tai, called a few more people, and then said to Chen Tai: "The human and physical evidence are here, you can ask them one by one, if you have any questions, just come and ask me." ”

Half an hour later, Chen Tai left the big tent with a pale face and came to Wei Ba again. He stood stunned for a long time, and then said, "King, can you leave a trace of blood for Cao Wei Liezu?" ”

Wei Ba smiled: "Even if Chen Jun doesn't say it, I will do it." Don't forget, the Cao clan and the Xiahou clan are inextricably linked to me. However, Chen Jun is loyal to the old master, distinguishes between right and wrong, and dares to speak out, which I still admire. ”

Chen Tai sighed, lifted the hem of his clothes, knelt down in front of Wei Ba, solemnly kowtowed three heads, and swallowed: "Yingchuan Chen Tai, I wish only the king and the horse are the first to look forward to the work of dogs and horses." ”

"With Uncle Xuan's help, the world can be determined." Wei Ba got up, helped Chen Tai up, and invited him to take a seat. "Uncle Xuan, are you familiar with Pei Hui?"

Chen Tai understood, bowed down and said: "Tai should enter the julu with his body, know the righteousness, and say right and wrong." If he is unwilling to surrender, he will join forces with General Deng to conquer Julu. ”

"Very good!" Wei Ba was overjoyed, and then asked someone to bring a pair of seals and put them in front of Chen Tai. Chen Tai took it and saw that it was the general of the Zhen Army. Although this is a miscellaneous general, he is Deng Ai's deputy general. As a general, it is very rare for Wei Ba to give him such an official position at once. Usually for the demoted general, the high position can be granted, but the real power will not be given, the position of the deputy general is too important, and it is generally not given to the demoted general who has just returned to obedience.

"This ......" Chen Tai hesitated.

"This is Deng Shizai's strong recommendation, I think it is very appropriate." Wei Ba smiled and pushed back the seal ribbon that Chen Tai had pushed over. "As early as when I was in Nanyang, I hoped to work with you one day, and today I finally got my wish. Uncle Xuan, don't shirk, if someone is not convinced, show your ability and prove it to them. ”

Chen Tai was grateful and bowed down to accept it.

……

After Chen Tai returned to Julu, he reported to Deng Ai. Seeing that Chen Tai had changed into the seal of the Jin Kingdom, Deng Ai was also very surprised. In the case that Wei Feng is also in his army, it is already commendable for Wei Ba to still let him be the main general, and he also recommended a demoted general Chen Tai as a deputy general, in the eyes of ordinary people, this is not knowing how to advance or retreat. Deng Ai didn't have much hope, if Wei Ba refused, this would be normal, so he didn't say it to Chen Tai in advance, just because he didn't want Chen Tai to have too high expectations.

But Wei Ba agreed, and put the credit on him, so that Chen Tai was grateful to him. Deng Ai was surprised and grateful.

Chen Tai immediately discussed with Deng Ai and Liu Tao, and personally entered the city to persuade Pei Hui to surrender. They are all big families and have a common language. Seeing that Chen Tai had descended, Pei Hui was already moved, and when Chen Tai told the secret of the Son of Heaven Cao Fang's non-Cao bloodline, Pei Hui no longer had the slightest desire to resist.

Two days later, Pei Hui lifted a huge deer and descended. Five days later, the two cities of Yecheng and Handan received the news and also surrendered the city one after another.

At this point, the entire Jizhou was included in the jurisdiction of Weiba, and it was less than a month from the beginning of Deng Ai's entry into Jizhou.

Wei Ba then appointed Pei Hui as the chief bookkeeper of the march, with Liu Tao as the assassin of Jizhou, Deng Ai, Chen Tai, Wei Feng and others led 50,000 cavalry, entered Bingzhou from Jingcheng, and attacked Sima Yi's Jinyang from north to south, preparing to recover the last state under the control of Cao Wei.

At the same time, a report was sent to Chang'an. In addition to reporting the good news of the recovery of Jizhou, Wei Ba once again asked the Son of Heaven to issue an edict, ordering the Guanzhong Army to go out of Tongguan and attack Luoyang, completing the last blow to pacify the world
