At this time, Liu Qi had returned to Luoyang, Cao Xiu and Sima Yi guarded Liyang, and the two armies confronted each other.

Hearing that Zhuge Liang had recovered the Central Plains, Liu Qi was overjoyed, and was about to set off to Puyang to comfort the soldiers.

Xun Yu was overjoyed and said: "This must be a disaster for the state, and General Guan's letter has an effect." ”

"With these three people to deal with the Hu people, my heart is at ease!" Liu Qi let out a sigh of relief.

Immediately ordered someone to set up a banquet and bring Zhang Liao and the three of them, and with a few of them to deal with the Xiongnu and Xianbei, there was no need to divide troops to Bingzhou, and the main force could clean up the chaos in Hebei with peace of mind.

When Wang Ling was also escorted to Hanxingtan, he saw Zhang Liao arguing with his son on the next floor, and the three young people left one after another.

"These three people are all confidants of King Wei, and they also betrayed the Cao family, and the hearts of the people are not ancient!"

Wang Ling looked up to the sky and sighed, it didn't take long for him to see the small door on the left slowly open again, and his heart couldn't help sinking, he came in through this door in the first place, wasn't it Cao Zhen and they were captured?

The noon sun penetrated through the gate, and the shadow of the future person was slender, only to see him walking quickly, his green shirt was messy, and he looked a little embarrassed, not Cao Zhen, but the figure was somewhat familiar.

"Brother, it's not good!" The man looked up and saw Wang Ling in front of the railing, beckoning and shouting.

"Brother Wen Shuxian?" Wang Ling was surprised, but he didn't expect it to be Wang Chang.

Wang Chang is a native of Jinyang County, Taiyuan County, Wang Ling is a native of Qi County, although the two are not from different counties, but they are from the same Taiyuan Wang family, the two are famous in the county when they were young, Wang Ling is a little older, Wang Chang regards Wang Ling as a brother.

Recommended by Chang Lin, Cao Pi conquered Wang Chang into the dynasty and was the prince of literature, and Cao Pi was the queen of Wei, who served as Wang Changye's city pawn farmer, and was in charge of Tuntian water conservancy in Wei County.

Wang Chang was arrested in Luoyang, could it be that Yecheng was also lost?

Wang Ling was incredulous, and hurriedly ran downstairs to meet the brothers, but saw Wang Chang described as haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and he cried bitterly before he could answer.

Wang Ling pulled him aside and sat down, and comforted: "It is up to people to do things, and success is in heaven, but do your best in everything, and the virtuous brother doesn't have to be too sad." ”

"Brother!" Wang Chang stopped his sorrow and wept: "Xianbei entered the customs, and the state army couldn't resist it, and he has retired to the party, and Taiyuan has been bloodbathed!" ”

"What?" Wang Ling was shocked, grabbed Wang Chang's shoulder, and yelled: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!" ”

"It's true!" Wang Changyan said: "I learned that Yanmen was lost in Yecheng, and I urgently asked the King of Wei for an order, and I was willing to go north to beg for thieves in person, and even connected three documents, and went to Handan to intercede. Unexpectedly, due to the loss of the Central Plains, the enemy army pressed the border, refused to divide the troops, obeyed Sima Fu's plan, took advantage of the situation to cede and annex the state, and ordered the Xianbei army to attack Hanoi ......"

"How can it be!" Wang Ling was furious and hurriedly asked, "Xianbei is going south, what is the situation within the clan?" ”

Wang Chang shook his head and said: "After I returned to Yecheng, I was restless, and suddenly my family came to report that Jinyang was lost, the Hu people burned and looted, the thieves took advantage of the situation, and there was not one in ten people who fled in the territory. ”

"Ahh Wang Ling raised his head to the sky and shouted, spurting blood from his mouth and falling to the ground.

Wang Chang hurriedly called someone to wake up Wang Ling, gritted his teeth and said: "Cao Pi is incompetent, provoking foreigners, and now the tiger and wolf enter the house, and let him do evil, this is the fault of the Cao family." When the younger brother heard that his brother was in Luoyang, he left Ye overnight to report the news, and he did not want to be in the same stream with the Cao family again. ”

"Regret not listening to Kong Ming's words!" Wang Ling's eyes were dull and he had no remorse, if he had listened to Zhuge Liang's advice and returned to the Han family first, he might have been able to go north to resist the enemy, but now it is too late.

Wang Changyan said: "Now the people were killed, the people abandoned the corpses in the wilderness, and if they want to take revenge, they still need to rely on the power of the Han king." ”

"Help me up!" Wang Ling grabbed Wang Chang's arm and got up, hugged his fists to the attendant and said, "Please report the news quickly, Wang Ling asks to see the King of Han." ”

In the palace, Liu Qi is practicing for Zhang Liao and Xu Huang, and the two generals are willing to return to their hometowns and fight against the Hu people with the same hatred.

Le Jin is a follower, his hometown has long been pacified by the Han army, and he is willing to listen to Liu Qi's dispatch, Zhang Hu and other three sons to sit together, all of them are happy.

Liu Qi was also very pleased, and his brother was insulted outside the wall!

From ancient times to the present, no matter how fierce the fight is in their own family, once they encounter the invasion of foreign enemies, they can put aside their hostilities and unite with the outside world, which is probably the foundation of China's 5,000-year-old standing, right?

It's good to deal with the five Xiongnu departments, Hedong has Xu Shu as the commander, plus Xu Huang, Lejin father and son, as well as Hao Zhao and Xihe Taishou Qiuxing, which is enough to destroy the Xiongnu.

However, Xianbei of the state is beyond the reach of the whip, Shangdang still has 30,000 Wei troops, and is preparing to attack Hanoi in Taihang Mountain, even if Zhang Liao bypasses Shangdang to merge with Zhou, without soldiers in his hands, it is difficult to support alone.

was at a loss, and suddenly Xun Yu came to see him, with the Wang Ling brothers with red eyes, and said bitterly: "King, Cao Pi withdrew from the Shangdang garrison, retreated to Huguan, and has let Xianbei go south." ”

"Shaft!" When Zhang Liao heard this, he was dumbfounded: "Cao Pi is a bad animal, he is really a tiger father and a dog." ”

Wang Ling and the others knelt down and said: "Bingzhou has fallen, the people have been killed, I can't wait, I am willing to go north to fight for thieves, recapture Bingzhou, and hope that the king will be gracious and let go." ”

Liu Qi stepped forward to help the two of them, and said angrily: "The Wang family is loyal to the Han family, and Wang Situ did not hesitate to risk death to fight against the tiger and wolf division with his weak body in order to get rid of Dong Zhuo. Now the two sincerely return to the Han Dynasty, they can help Zhang Wenyuan to go on the Northern Expedition, and they will be able to destroy Xianbei and protect the territory. ”

Seeing that Liu Qi had such a high evaluation of the Wang family, the two couldn't help but be grateful, Wang Ling bowed his head in shame, and knelt down again: "The Wang family is willing to serve the Han family for generations, go to the soup and fight the fire, and never give up." ”

Liu Qi ordered people to watch the seats, invited Wang Ling and Wang Chang to sit down and discuss the matter of fighting against Xianbei together, these two people are also famous generals in the later period of the Three Kingdoms, although they are worse than the five good generals, but there is Zhang Liao as the main commander, and they join the army as deputy generals, and this lineup is also luxurious enough.

Wang Chang sighed: "Cao Pi gathered the people of Bingzhou to attack Hanoi, but Bu Dugen bit back, knowing that he was powerless to suppress, he simply gave up the party, which seems to be a plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, but in fact it is to fight the fire with salary, and sooner or later it will be counterattacked." ”

Zhang Liao and the others all had gloomy faces, they defected to Cao Cao back then, because they were heroes in the world and could achieve great things, but now looking at what Cao Pi did, they were simply embarrassed.

Xun Yu said: "The Wei army retreated to Huguan, and the party would be chaotic, so Huo Jun could be ordered to be the vanguard, take the opportunity to go north from Taihang, and take more cities to protect the territory." The people will come to defect, spontaneously raise troops to support, based on this, deep ditches and high bases to resist the enemy, so that the thieves are sad and dangerous, and then send elite soldiers to ask for it, all the way north, the people echo, when the momentum is like a broken bamboo. ”

"Wen Ruo's words are very much in line with my intentions!" Liu Qi nodded slightly, hugged his fist to Zhang Liao and said: "The war in Hanoi is tight, I have allocated 30,000 horses for the general to deploy, is it enough?" ”

Zhang Liao was greatly moved when he saw that Liu Qi directly gave him military power, and he knelt down from the table and said: "A certain person is loyal and righteous, and he wants to serve the country wholeheartedly, but he regrets that he has not met a confidant." Today, the king is willing to entrust him with a heavy task, even if he only has 3,000 soldiers, although he will not give up. ”
