Jiang Wei, the word Boyo, is a native of Ji County, Tianshui.

Jiang Wei's father, Jiang Yin, is the Gongcao of Tianshui County, and the Jiang family is also a big family of Tianshui County.

But the difference from history is that. Jiang Yan is not dead at this time, he is alive and well, Jiang Wei in this era does not have the experience of his father's early death.

The reason is that Ma Chao was united by the wealthy families in Liangzhou in Liangzhou and had to choose a way out.

In the original history, Ma Chao first fled to Hanzhong to join Zhang Lu, borrowed troops from Zhang Lu, and then united with the Qiang people to kill back to Liangzhou, making a big disturbance in Liangzhou.

In the end, he was repelled by Xiahou Yuan and had to retreat to Hanzhong, and later took refuge in Liu Bei.

Jiang Wei's father, Jiang Yin, was killed by the Qiang people in order to hold on to Ji County and cover the retreat of his fellow Jiang Xu when Ma Chao returned to Liangzhou.

And in this time and space, Ma Chao did not go to Zhang Lu, but directly detoured south to Liu Bei, naturally there is no Ma Chao borrowing troops out of Qishan and besieging Ji County, and there is no such thing as Jiang Jian dying in battle to cover his brother Jiang Xu.

Therefore, at this time, Tianshui County Gongcao is still Jiang Yin, Jiang Wei, this kid, is only eighteen years old this year, and he is only nineteen years old, and he is only the son of Tianshui County Gongcao, who is serving his mother at home, and he has not been out at all.

At this time, Jiang Jian was following Ma Zun, the new Taishou of Tianshui County, and was inspecting Tianshui counties.

It's almost the end of the year.,It's normal to be too obedient to patrol the place.。

But not long after Ma Zun arrived in Xixian, he got the news that the Shu army came out of Qishan and killed Benxi County.

Ma Zun was immediately frightened.

Ma Zun was not a brave person, he was not even from Liangzhou, he was sent to Tianshui County after Cao Pi succeeded to the throne. Up to now, Ma Zun has not even figured out the internal relationship of the wealthy family of Tianshui County.

The big clan of Tianshui County, there are the county gong Cao Jiang Yin, the Jiang family represented by Jiang Xu, the Liang family represented by Liang Xu, and the Zhao family represented by Zhao Ang, who is named Yizhou Thorn History, but actually remains in Tianshui County, and the Yang family represented by Yang Fu, who is an official in Yecheng.

Ma Zun still can't figure out which of the Tianshui County clans are dedicated to King Wei and which are double-minded.

Therefore, as soon as Ma Zun heard that the generals of the Shu army led the troops out of Qishan, he came to the western county where he was located, and he immediately panicked.

In Ma Zun's opinion, how can there be such a coincidental thing in the world?!

I, the new Taishou of Tianshui County, just happened to inspect Xixian, and at this time, the Shu army had already rushed to Xixian to kill?!

If this is not in the king's business, Tianshui County will not be able to be leaderless, and it will be easily broken by the Shu army.

Looking back, which one of the heartless people said that it was almost winter, and the county guard should inspect the state and county to calm the people's hearts? !

Ma Zun thought about it and found that the people who said this seemed to be the people of the four major families of Tianshui.

This made Ma Zun have to think more.

After all, Liangzhou has been chaotic for more than a hundred years, and the people here, whether they are Han heroes or Qiang Hu barbarians, are not very respectful to the central court.

Although the Liangzhou Hao clan pitted Ma Chao and introduced Cao Wei's forces into Liangzhou, it was only because Ma Chao was really not authentic, and it was really taboo to allow surrender and kill and surrender, plus Ma Chao only knew how to fight, and he didn't know how to govern the place at all, so he couldn't bring benefits to these Liangzhou Hao clans, so the Liangzhou Hao clan united and pitted Ma Chao.

But it's really not that the wealthy families in Liangzhou are interested in the court, they just hate Ma Chao more.

Liangzhou has been in turmoil for many years, and it is not completely stable, how do you know that as soon as the Shu army comes, these Liangzhou families will stand firmly with the imperial court? !

Anyway, Ma Zun didn't believe it.

Therefore, after hearing that the Shu army killed Xiangxi County, Ma Zun's first reaction was to run.

It's not very safe to run back to Ji County, it's still the territory of the families of Tianshui County, it's best to run back to Pingxiang County and find Guo Huai, the assassin of Liangzhou, so that Ma Zun can have some sense of security.

But Ma Zun's decision, in the eyes of Jiang Jian and Liang Xu, who accompanied the inspection, was so brainless.

The Shu army has just come out of Qishan Road, and it hasn't arrived in Xixian yet, you are a county guard, and you have inspected Xixian, but you don't want to stick to the city, organize defense on the spot, and be the first to take the lead? !

This is something that a county taishou can do?!

If you want to do this, in the counties of Tianshui County, who will seriously defend the city?!

You can't just abandon the city and walk away.

Besides, Xixian can't hold it, so the next place to bear the brunt is Ji County. This is the hometown of the Jiang family and the Liang family.

Therefore, Jiang Jian and Liang Xu hurriedly persuaded Ma Zun.

"The county guard, now that the thieves are in the realm, how can the county guard leave without a fight?!" Liang Xu hurriedly grabbed Ma Zun and persuaded him seriously.

And Jiang Jian also accosted and persuaded, "Yes, even if the county guard wants to leave, he has to leave after the first battle, if the enemy army abandons the city before it arrives, the county guard is in front of Guo Tingshi, and it is not easy to tell!" ”

One thing to say, although Liang Xu and Jiang Jian also have selfish intentions, the current suggestion is indeed for the sake of Ma Zun, after all, Ma Zun is the Taishou of Tianshui County, and if he runs like this, the chain reaction will be great.

But Ma Zun didn't want to listen to the nonsense of these two people at all.

Stay and hold on?!

What are you kidding, do you know how many defenders there are in West County?!

But three thousand!

Do you know how many Shu troops there are on the other side?!

The detailed return is at least more than 10,000!

How can this be kept?!

Well, if everyone is dedicated to the country and united, it is not impossible to stick to it.

But the question is, are you really the kind of people who will sacrifice their lives for the sake of the country?!

Who still doesn't know the style of you Liangzhou wealthy clans, don't look back, I will stay in Xixian to defend the city, you will open the door and surrender, and sell me directly to the Shu army.

Anyway, Ma Zun can't trust Jiang Jian and Liang Xu, and he can't trust the Jiang family and the Liang family behind them.

Therefore, Ma Zun did not listen to the advice of Jiang Jian and Liang Xu at all, and insisted on leaving Xixian, and in order to prevent his escape route from being detected by the Shu army, Ma Zun even ordered Liang Xu to be the guard general of Xixian County, and Jiang Jian was the deputy, leaving two people to stick to Xixian.

After making this arrangement, Ma Zun hurriedly took his personal guards, walked out of the north city gate, and quickly fled to Pingxiang County.

Jiang Jian and Liang Xu were dumbfounded. What to do?!

What can I do, relying on the three thousand soldiers in my hands, even if I can hold Xixian for a while, the Taishou has run away, do you still expect the nearby Cao Jun to come to the rescue of you?!

Liang Xu and Jiang Jian glanced at each other, and they both saw the meaning in each other's eyes.

Anyway, the scholars of Liangzhou have never had any loyalty to the central court, after all, the first people to give up Liangzhou were these Central Plains people.

But Liang Xu is indifferent, but Jiang Yin.

"There is no danger to defend in Xixian County, I might as well wait if it is broken sooner or later" Liang Xu proposed half-openly and half-obscurely.

Jiang Jian frowned and said, "My wife and children are all in Ji County, if we surrender to Shu County."

This question couldn't help but make Liang Xu hesitate.

Although Liangzhou was newly surrendered to Cao Wei not long ago, Cao Wei's system had already spread to this side, and if he surrendered after holding the city for a certain time, the wife and child of the guard general would be executed.

Liang Xu was also a little hesitant about this, and asked tentatively, "We are all Tianshui clans, and our roots are all in Ji County. Now that Ma Taishou has fled to Pingxiang, all the in-laws in Ji County are our in-laws, which may not be hindered. ”

Liang Xu means that the Tianshui clan is basically from Ji County, and everyone has a friendship with each other for decades, and they have a kinship with each other, and Ma Zun went to Pingxiang County, these families can't embarrass their own people, right? !

Jiang Jian still frowned, and said, "I, the Jiang family, will not be like this, but the Yang family and the Zhao family."

After Ma Chao was pitted, Zhao Ang of the Zhao family was appointed by Cao Cao as the assassin of Yizhou, and Yang Fu of the Yang family is still an official in Yecheng.

What's more.

"Pingxiang County is quite close to Ji County. I'm afraid something will happen! Jiang Jian emphasized.

The distance from Pingxiang County to Ji County is only one-third of the distance from West County to Ji County.

And the two of them surrendered to the enemy at this time, wouldn't it. The Jiang family and the Liang family will be completely finished.

Saying this, Liang Xu also hesitated a little.

"If you knew this was the case, you shouldn't have let that gutless rat go." Liang Xu said with some annoyance.

As long as Ma Zun does not leave, controls Ma Zun, contacts the Shu army on the one hand, and rushes back to Ji County on the other, it is not impossible to save the two families.

But for now.

"I'm afraid you and I can only hold on to Xixian County, but with such troops, how can we hold it?!" Liang Xu was helpless and sought a strategy from Jiang Yin.

And Jiang Jian thought about it for a long time, but there was nothing to do.

When the gap in forces is too large, it is useless to use stratagem.

The most important thing is that neither of the two people has the determination to defend the West County for Cao Wei, why should the people of Liangzhou work for the people of the Central Plains, and there are not enough benefits.

After the two of them discussed, they never came up with any good ideas, but in the end, they returned to the original route.

"Brother Zhongyi!" Liang Xu suddenly said to Jiang Jian, "If I return to Ji County immediately, I will say that Matthew will guard him and escape."

Jiang Jian understood what Liang Xu meant, but he still shook his head and said, "In this way, wouldn't we be guilty of the same crime as that Ma Zun?!" ”

Ma Zunna escaped from the battle, so let's just run back, isn't it the same?

Liang Xu suddenly had a sad face again.

At this time, Jiang Jian squinted his eyes and said, "It's not appropriate to escape from the battle, but if it's to help the Han family, it's not impossible."

Liang Xu was stunned for a moment, then pondered slightly, and suddenly understood.

"So. It's time to fight with that horse."
