Chapter 37: What is an Official, What Is a Thief?

"Haha, the younger brothers and sisters don't let the eyebrows, the sound is so admirable, no matter what, this Xinye City, let's accompany Brother Wei to break through."

Hou Yin laughed and waved his hand at Wei Shi.

Junshan defeated the strong with the weak, he was a bystander throughout the whole process, and he admired Wei Shi's ability to command the battle according to local conditions.

Strong enemy currently.

Wei Shi also dared to take his wife Han Yan to move forward together, which shows that he has a full grasp of the next war.

"Okay, with the help of the heroes of Bears Ears Mountain, we have won this battle." Wei Shi laughed, stepped forward, and walked side by side with Hou Yin.

Hou Yin's idea was not what he expected.

This time, Hou Yin went down the mountain and brought about 2,000 of his subordinates, which was twice as many as Wei Shilai.

But judging from the simple attire of the minions, the wooden poles in their hands, and the hunting bows, the combat effectiveness of the rest of this Yellow Turban is just like that, and they are fighting Cao Jun head-on, Hou Yin definitely doesn't have the courage.

However, if he can help Wei Shi win another game, Hou Yin can also get some benefits, so that he will not lose face when he turns back to Bears Ears Mountain.

Someone will do.

Wei Shi is not a picky eater now.

He is from a humble family, and he is almost down to the point of being clothy and left, and his reputation is not good, and there are only two short-term contract workers in Lou Gui and Wei Yan, and Hou Yin took the initiative to ask to join at this time, which is also a good thing.

Subsequently, Hou Yin really behaved very low-key, and during the march, the Bears Ears Mountain Kou also obeyed Wei Shi's orders and took on the task of covering the two wings, and Hou Yin volunteered to take the initiative to ask for the order to scout for the front army and inquire about the movements of the Cao army.

This task is not difficult for Hou Yin, in terms of the speed of escaping, they are accustomed to battles, and some of them have accumulated experience.

Seeing Wei Shi and Hou Yin joining forces, Wei Yan, who was very arrogant, sank his face, and along the way, he frowned, and he was too tired of Hou Yin and other yellow turbans.

In Wei Yan's mind, officers and soldiers are officers and soldiers, and grass is grass and grass, Wei Shi is doing this, even if General Zuo Liu Bei has no ideas, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao will not be able to pass the test.

"Brother Wen, there is a sentence, Shi has to say solemnly, whether it is an official or a thief, your identity is not important, the important thing is that in the eyes of most people in this world, are you an official or a thief?"

In Shi's view, in this troubled era of the Han Dynasty, officials and thieves have long been indistinguishable. Shi remembers, the one who killed the young emperor, the Taishi Dong Zhuo, the one who insulted the emperor, the great Sima Li Xuan, the general of the chariot cavalry Guo Yan, and the one who saved the emperor from fire and water, the yellow turban Bai Bo Kou Yang Feng and Xu Huang? ”

Wei Shi's two rhetorical words made Wei Yan speechless for a while.

In the troubled times of the Han Dynasty, the officials and thieves have long been unclear.

Dong Zhuo is the master of the Han Dynasty, but judging from the fact that he abolished the emperor without authorization, how is he different from a national thief? Li Xuan and Guo Yan, the leaders of the Xiliang soldiers, coerced the emperor to order the princes, and the dignity of the Han royal family was also worthless in their eyes.

In addition, Tang Ji, the daughter of the Tang clan of Yingchuan, Wei Shi's mother clan, was once captured by Li Xuan, and Wei Shi's family was also destroyed due to the battle of Wancheng.

"General Zuo ...... there, Lord Bo Liu Yan and others have opinions on Brother Shi, if they hear that Brother Shi is befriended by Kou, I am afraid that there will be slanderous incidents again."

Wei Yanzhongjube's face showed hesitation.

Liu Yan and other self-proclaimed high-ranking people, he can't get used to it, but under Liu Bei's hands, these people still occupy high positions, and a word of slander may be able to suppress Wei Shi from raising his head.

"Hmph, Nanyang Sankou, Wang Zhong is a disaster to the township, Shi Yili will suppress it to restore the peace of the people. Hou Yin and Liao Hua, I haven't seen many unrighteous acts, and the stone intersects with it, so what's wrong? ”

"Shi heard that when General Zuo was in Runan, he also joined forces with Liu Pi, Gong Du and others in the Yellow Turban Qu Marshal, and Liu and Gong both died in battle to save General Zuo, how can this be explained?"

The people who Wei Shi crossed had no fear of Liu Bei, and the last sentence directly shook out Liu Bei's affairs in Runan City, which made Wei Yan stunned and didn't know how to answer.

Speaking of which, compared to what Liu Bei did, Wei Shi and Hou Yin joined forces to defeat Cao's army, which is really nothing?

After Wei Shi said these words, he didn't pay much attention to what Wei Yan thought, this knot in his heart could only wait for Wei Yan to untie it himself, and he was forced to be in a hurry, but it backfired.

For example, Lou Gui.

At the beginning, he wanted to go to Liu Biao's Xiangyang, Wei Shi did not force him to stay, but only set a deadline, and now, in front of Wei Shi, Lou Gui no longer mentions the matter of returning to Xiangyang, but happily helps deal with the affairs of the inner countryside.

Wei Yan looked at Wei Shi's back as he was tightly embraced by Zhong Lin, Wei Cheng, Wei Gong, Wang En, Han Jin and other people from Yushuwan Village. But his mood fluctuated.

The military situation is urgent.

Wei Shi returned to the township soldiers, mainly to explain his idea of "riding with steps" to the people under him.

A large wooden cart.

A bamboo spear sharpened like a forest.

A hoe for digging the ground.

There is also a well-prepared ..... of thistles.

——

Outside Xinye City, Cao Ying.

Xia Houlan was inspecting the plundered military resources of the various departments under his command, and the rich harvest made him happy.

Compared with the pain of being calculated by Wei Shi everywhere when he was in the inner countryside, whether it was Xiahou Lan or Hou Cheng, they all felt that the step of attacking Xinye was the right one.

And this kind of change in the sky and the earth also made the two of them more and more vigilant and hateful towards Wei Shi.

Therefore, when Cao Jun scouted Feibao and Wei Shi came to Xinye's rescue without knowing whether he was alive or dead, the two Cao generals immediately temporarily supported the attack on Xinye City, and began to discuss how to fight Wei Shi first.

"General Xiahou, Wei Kou took advantage of Junshan and took advantage of it, this time, Hou Mou wanted him to come and go, and when Wei Kou's head was in hand, Xinye would be self-defeating."

Hou Cheng was very confident and patted his chest to Xia Houlan to reassure.

"Good. General Hou, you led 800 elite horsemen from your headquarters to set off, annihilating Wei Kou, and the shame of Xuejun Mountain. Xia Houlan nodded, picked up the arrow and handed it to Hou Cheng.

Defeating Wei Shi's support army was also a ruthless move to deter the Xinye defenders.

Otherwise, if the city is not attacked for a long time, the morale of the Cao army will gradually decline, and it will be difficult to expand the results of the battle in the future.

Hou Cheng ordered the camp to leave.

Eight hundred Cao cavalry swept along the official road and galloped until noon, but saw a team of men and horses in front of them appear in the distance, and the middle flag was not real.

Only Wang was sharp-eyed, and after finding out that it was Hou Yin's banner, he immediately returned from his horse and reported the military situation to Hou Chengyu.

"Hou Yin, this two-faced yellow turban thief must have voted for Wei Kou. Kill....... Hou Cheng gritted his teeth and shouted fiercely.

Although they are both surnamed Hou, they have nothing to do with each other.

In Hou Cheng's heart, he was more disdainful of Hou Yin, feeling that he had insulted the surname Hou, and he was looked down upon even by others.
