Chapter 42: The Son of Heaven is in hand, and I have the world
Wei Shi remembered clearly that Liu Bei's Northern Expedition this time, burned Bowangpo, and almost killed Cao's generals Xiahoudun and Yu Ban in the valley, which is a famous battle case clearly recorded in the history books.
Now, Mi Zhu and Wei Yan said that Liu Bei had lost the battle and urged the rear to increase troops, what is going on?
Seeing that Wei Shi didn't believe it, Mi Zhu hurriedly took out the official document from his arms and handed it over.
When Wei Shi looked at it from beginning to end, he knew that Liu Bei had already attacked from Wancheng to Yexian, and he was happy to attack the city and seize the land along the way, but the stall was too big and the troops were seriously insufficient.
The location of Ye County is already about to go out of Nanyang County, and further north, it is Kunyang, and behind Kunyang, it is Xuchang.
In other words, Liu Bei is fighting all the way, and he is about to hit Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.
This time, it annoyed Cao Cao.
The Son of Heaven is in hand, and I have the world.
In the past few years, Cao Cao has "coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes", and has become a great general, a chariot general, and the overlord of the Central Plains, which is in the name of occupying the imperial court.
And once Liu Xie was snatched away by Liu Bei, all this was gone.
During this time, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty was resentful because Cao Cao killed his beloved Dong Guifei, if he was out of control, then Cao Cao would be identified as a traitor in the troubled times in a few minutes, and he would be attacked by the crowd.
In order to relieve the danger of the southern front, Cao Cao transferred back the new forces of Li Dian and Han Hao from the north, and selected the general to be the deputy general of Xiahoudun, and the strength of Cao's army in Yexian County has also increased from more than 10,000 people to 50,000, and it is known as 100,000 people to the outside world.
Xiahoudun, Yu Ban, Li Dian, Han Hao .......
This is already quite good.
In addition, Cao Jun has an advantage in strength and is on the defending side, so it is quite difficult for Liu Bei to further expand the results of the battle.
In Ye County, Liu Bei's army and Cao's army after nearly 20 days of entanglement, finally ended with Liu Bei's retreat with 3,000 soldiers.
After that, Liu Bei retreated all the way from Yexian, and Xiahoudun and Yu Ban chased after him.
After discussing with the military advisor Xu Shu, Liu Bei decided to make an ambush at Bowangpo, but the problem came at this time, Liu Bei did not have enough troops at hand to complete such a large-scale ambush battle.
At this moment, Liu Bei heard that the danger of Xinye had been resolved, so he hurriedly ordered the remaining troops to go up.
Fu Wei, Xiang Chong, and Fu Kuang, the generals who had just defected to Liu Bei, had to be sent to the front line of Bowangpo to fight this time.
Wei Shi read the official document and asked Mi Zhu about the questions he couldn't understand.
It took about half an hour to figure out the reason for this back and forth, but another problem arose, that is, there was no order to transfer Wei Shi's township soldiers in the official document.
"Mi Zhonglang, Shi is the lieutenant of Neixiang County, General Zuo's order to transfer troops seems to have nothing to do with Shi, Zhonglang's words, there is the meaning of transferring Shi's rural soldiers, I'm afraid it's not considered?"
Mi Zhu listened to the words, the expression on his face was quite unnatural, and finally pointed at Wei Yan, and said: "Wei County Lieutenant's words are wrong, although you don't lead troops, but the Wen Chang's department is General Zuo's soldiers and horses, this time, more than half of the Wen Chang's five hundred generals were killed and wounded, and there are few people who can fight, so the Taishou Mansion thinks that the Wei County Captain's township soldiers have the responsibility to replace the Wen Chang's department to serve in front .....of the army." ”
When Wei Shi heard this, he couldn't help but get angry, in terms of thick skin, Liu Bei was the first, and Mi Zhu was not bad.
"Mi Zhonglang, this reason is found, Wei admires. Then may I ask, this is the credit for solving the siege of Xinye, how to talk about it, and when the Neixiang Township soldiers were recruited, they had already said that they were only responsible for protecting the territory and the people, if they went to Ye County, although they were all in Nanyang, they were ...... too far away from Xinye. ”
"Lieutenant Wei rest assured, when the battle of Bowangpo is over, Zhu Dang will personally explain the truth of the battle of Xinye to General Zuo, and when the time comes, with General Zuo's talent of knowing people, he will definitely reuse the county lieutenant."
Mi Zhu was speechless by Wei Shi.
What General Zuo's Mansion did this time was really not authentic.
Originally, according to Wei Shi's merits, not to mention in front of Liu Bei, even in front of Liu Biao, it is worth boasting about, but Liu Yan and others from Taishoufu made a statement, and most of the exploits of defeating Xiahou Lan and Hou Cheng were added to the heads of Fu Wei and other Xinye defenders.
The rest of the battle to kill Hou Cheng and others really can't share the profits, so they pressed it on Wei Yan, and when it was Wei Shi's turn, he only had a small credit for assisting Xinye to flank the Wei army, so a toss, and when Wei Shi could be promoted to the magistrate of Neixiang County after the war, it would be a good appointment.
But unexpectedly, Liu Yan and others are very good at abacus, and they are not as fast as the situation changes.
"It's okay to send troops to Shi, but there are three requirements, and you must agree to them first."
"First, Wei Yan's department, after the battle of Bowangpo, will be separated from its original subordination and officially under the rule of Neixiang County."
"Second, in the villages around Xinye, all the people who are willing to relocate to the inner countryside should be issued by the Taishou Mansion and take the initiative to let them go, and they must not be blocked."
"Third, from now on, the important commodities such as salt and iron sold to Junshan by the Mi family firm will be supplied at a discount of 20%, and the price shall not be raised without authorization or the exchange shall be interrupted without reason."
"These three things, if General Zuo can deal with it, Shi will be reluctant to persuade the villagers to fight, if not, then I can only go back to Junshan first."
Liu Yan, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang and others set their sights on Wei Shi, a township soldier who could fight tough battles, and did not let them leave.
Wei Shi was finally forced to make concessions.
Of course, he won't let himself suffer.
Among the three things, the first is Wei Yan's affiliation, when Wei Yan went to the inner countryside, he was a borrower, and if he borrowed it, he had to pay it back, but Wei Shi used Wei Yan to get it, and he really didn't want to return it to Liu Bei, so it was also a matter of course to take advantage of this opportunity to grab it.
The second thing is to relocate the people, the inner countryside is in a remote area, the number of households is scarce, and it cannot be compared with Xinye, Wei Shi is ready to take advantage of the turmoil of Xiahoulan and Hou Cheng's looting, and encourage the people in Yushuwan, Hanjiawan and other places to move to the inner countryside.
The third thing doesn't need to be detailed, the Mi family has a big business, and it is really unreasonable not to take advantage of it.
Mi Zhu pondered for a while, and finally nodded and agreed to Wei Shi's conditions.
The Mi family and Liu Bei started from Xuzhou and have been tied to the same boat, and now Liu Bei is in difficulty, of course the Mi family has to go all out, and for this, it is nothing to suffer a little loss.
"Grandma, you first turn back to Junshan and bury the bones of your father-in-law, and then, manage Junshan well, govern the inner countryside, and wait for me to return victorious."
was about to send troops to Bowangpo, and Wei Shi could only say goodbye to Han Yan.
Han Chang, Zhong Lin, Wang En, Han Jin and other villagers are not in the township soldier sequence, so there is no need to go to war with them.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, with our brother here, Lang Jun will definitely return safely." At the time of parting, Wei Cheng and Wei Gong saw that Han Yan was reluctant, and hurriedly patted their chests to reassure.
