Luoyang County, with its harsh climate and underdeveloped economy, has always been underdeveloped.

However, Luoyang County is located at the junction of Tianshui County and Anding County, and its geographical location is very important.

Therefore, according to the unwritten practice in the past, those who can serve as the county magistrate of Luoyang County, as long as they have sufficient qualifications, are likely to be directly transferred to the state capital to serve as a right-hand post in the future.

Originally, serving as the magistrate of Luoyang County was a helpful thing for his career, but Xie Lian, who was the magistrate of Luoyang County at the time, couldn't be happy for a while.

The reason why Xie Lian was depressed was because the Han army was pressing, especially the Han army was still led by Mi Yang himself.

On the other hand, the reason is because of Yang Fu.

The reason why Xie Lian was able to serve as the magistrate of Luoyang County was all due to Yang Fu's promotion, although Yang Fu did not show his care for Xie Lian in front of everyone in order to avoid suspicion.

But others don't know, can Xie Lian not know?

The most important thing is that in addition to Xie Lian, there are some people who also know about it.

Xie Lian was grateful to Yang Fu for his inspection back then.

It's just that if it is just gratitude, Yang Fu's death will make him indignant and regretful at most, but he will never have the current fear.

Xie Lian will be in a worried mood at the moment, but it is really Cao Rong's punishment of Yang Fu is too heavy.

In order to appease the people's hearts to the greatest extent, Cao Rong even extended the punishment to Yang Fu's clansmen.

This shows Cao Rong's hatred for Yang Fu.

It is precisely knowing this that Xie Lian is worried.

With the traditional temperament of the Cao family, although Cao Rong did not touch the punishment to Yang Fu's protégé at the moment, what about the future?

Xie Lian felt that Cao Rong was not doing it now, probably because of the Han army that was currently pressing the border.

Most of Yang Fu's protégés and former officials were in charge of the localities, and Cao Rong did not want to impose punishments to make Liangzhou turbulent for the benefit of the Han army.

But if the Han army was repelled by the Wei army, would Cao Rong still be able to hold back the resentment in his heart?

Thinking of Cao Cao and Cao Pi's series of cruel methods during his reign, Xie Lian's heart was full of worries and uneasiness about the future.

The taste of the butcher's knife hanging from the neck is not pleasant.

This taste has made Xie Qian seem very depressed in recent months.

Even Xie Lian's whole demeanor became much haggard.

Because of physical exhaustion, after dealing with the last government affairs today, Xie Lian wanted to go back to the inner room early to rest.

It's just that just when Xie Lian got up and walked towards the inner room with the support of his subordinates, a servant in a hurry came to Xie Lian's side.

Seeing this servant arriving in a hurry, Xie Lian's brows couldn't help but wrinkle.

Xie Lian was born in a famous family, and there were more than a dozen of his personal servants.

According to the habits of the world, Xie Qian was his personal servant, and each of them was assigned corresponding duties.

For example, the slave who had just arrived in front of him was in charge of delivering personal letters for Xie Ling.

Normally, if there was no important matter, the slave would not have come to thank him.

Sensing the abnormality, Xie Ling quietly dispersed the surrounding idlers, and then he asked the servant in front of him:

"What's going on?"

Xie Lian's voice was very low, as if he was afraid that others would listen to him.

After realizing Xie Lian's caution, the slave didn't say a word, he just took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Xie Lian's hand.

After Xie Lian took the letter and saw the signature of the letter on the envelope, he was so frightened that he almost threw the letter in his hand directly.

I saw that Jiang Wei's name was written on the signature on the envelope.

As the son of the deceased, Xie Lian is of course very familiar with Jiang Wei's name.

In the case of a good relationship between the two families, in the past, he and Jiang Wei and Jiang's mother often had correspondence.

You can go back to the past!

As time passed, Xie Lian knew about Jiang Wei's contribution to Mi Yang.

From Xie Lian's point of view, Jiang Wei's behavior is treason.

Now the traitorous minister suddenly wrote in private, once this matter is known to outsiders, with Cao Wei's grim law, then Xie Qian will definitely not be able to escape the involvement.

Thinking of this, Xie Lian's first reaction was to burn the letter in his hand.

But at the moment when Xie Lian was about to open his mouth and order someone to find the candle flame, there was no syllable in Xie Lian's mouth.

After hesitating with his mouth open for a while, Xie Lian finally put the letter written by Jiang Wei into his sleeve robe.

Then Xie Lian forcibly suppressed the tension in his heart, pretended to be indifferent, and continued to walk towards the inner room.

After returning to the inner room, Xie Yan couldn't wait to take out the letter in the sleeve of his robe and read it.

Xie Lian's movements were anxious, like a drowning man grasping a life-saving straw.

After Jiang Wei joined Mi Yang, he suddenly wrote to himself, Xie Lian was not stupid, he guessed that there must be Mi Yang's instructions behind this matter.

And what will be Mi Yang's intention?

Naturally, it's not hard to guess.

After reading the contents of the letter, Xie Lian found that he had not misguessed the purpose of Jiang Wei's letter - he really came to persuade him to surrender!

Xie Lian, who was originally Wei Chen, should have a furious posture after seeing Jiang Wei's letter.

But that's not the case with Xie Lian now.

On the contrary, his demeanor was quite struggling.

It was as if he was making a difficult decision in his heart.

Also, if you really want to be a loyal minister of Great Wei, Xie Lian would not have opened this letter just now, and he should have sent this letter to Cao Zhang on the front line intact.

Otherwise, no matter whether Xie Lian actually committed treason in the end, he would not be able to escape a crime with ill intentions.

After a long struggle, Xie Lian finally made a decision.

He summoned his cronies, who had been standing outside, and whispered a few words to him.

After listening to Xie Yan's instructions, the cronie immediately ran out.

Looking at the back of his cronies leaving, Xie Lian's expression became hesitant again.

I don't know if his actions today are right or wrong!

In a mountain forest outside Luoyang County, Man Zhong looked at Jiang Wei, who was full of confidence in front of him, and he couldn't help asking:

"Do you really think that Xie Lian will meet with me because of one of your letters?"

When Manzhong's inquiry fell into Jiang Wei's ears, surprise appeared on his face, and he asked rhetorically: "Manjun, are you retreating?" ”

Jiang Wei's rhetorical question directly choked Man's words.

Jiang Wei's words did poke at the heart of Man Pet.

Jiang Wei's self-confidence does not stem from the fact that he can 100% anticipate Xie Lian's actions, but because he has a firm determination to complete this task.

It is precisely the lack of this determination that makes the same full favor hesitate.

But that's normal.

Even if he swore in front of Mi Yang when he set off, when he entered the territory of Luoyang County and saw the thousands of Wei army iron horsemen who were constantly galloping and patrolling in the county, Manzhong's heart was inevitably shaken.

Thinking about it, those thousands of iron cavalry were Zhang He's headquarters cavalry.

And Zhang He's headquarters cavalry is here, which means that Zhang He is on guard against the rear grain road.

It's not that he is not confident, he can't persuade Xie Lian.

He is not confident, even if he persuades Xie Lian, will the impact on the battle situation really be as great as he imagined at the beginning?

Although Man Chong is a resourceful person, he lacks the indomitable spirit of a martial artist after all.

Today's overtime, a small chapter.
