The snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits.

After saying goodbye to Zhao Yun, Wei Shi led the inner village soldiers into the hills and valleys west of Gushan, and after some maneuvering, he got rid of the tail chasing Cao Jun and went to Luyang County.

Luyang belongs to Nanyang County, Jingzhou, connecting Ye County to the southeast, Shangluo Vast Mountains to the west, and Neixiang County to the southwest.

Since the Qin Dynasty, this place has been a place where the grass gathers, the folk customs are very strong, and many of the inner village soldiers under Wei Shi are from Luyang, and there are people who guide the way, but they don't have to worry about being betrayed.

When Wei Shi arrived, the gate of Luyang City was wide open, and only a few small officials were stationed in the county office.

After careful questioning, it was learned that the county magistrate, county lieutenant and other officials were appointed by Cao Cao, and when they heard that Liu Beijun in Jingzhou had arrived, they were so frightened that they fled and did not know where to go.

Wei Shi was not polite, and directly took up official business in the county office.

After jumping out of the main battlefield of Bowangpo, the burden on Wei Shi's body is also light, and no matter how Liu Bei fights next, it has nothing to do with him.

If Liu Bei can win the battle of Bowangpo, then Wei Shi will take advantage of it, fight a dozen lonely Cao troops, and change the tattered outfits of the inner village soldiers.

If Liu Bei loses the battle if he doesn't fight for it, then it doesn't matter to him Wei Shi?

It's a big deal, Xiahou is killed, Wei Shi continues to retreat westward, and Liao Hua and Hou Yin join forces, and when the time comes, he is afraid of who will come.

"My lord, the elder of the Luyang Tang clan is outside the door, asking to see him. He said it was your kinsman elders. Just when Wei Shi was proud in his heart, Wei Cheng hurried in from outside, holding a famous thorn in his hand.

Luyang Tang.

Wei Shi was stunned when he heard this, and then took it and saw that it was a person named Tang Lin, and next to the famous thorn, there was also a gift of ten gold, which was quite sincere.

Wei Shi's spirit perked up, and he ordered: "Please Tang Gong." ”

Wei Cheng went out according to the order, and after a while, he brought in an old man who was over sixty years old and had a white beard.

As soon as he entered the door, when the old man saw Wei Shi, his body trembled slightly, and he took out a genealogy from his arms and said: "My lord, this is the genealogical roster of the Luyang Tang clan, and the name of the adult's ancestral mother Tang clan is also ..... on the roster." ”

Wei Shi took the silk book, opened it and looked closely, it was the back pages of the booklet, and he did see the name of his mother Tang, but judging from the ink marks, it looked like it was newly added.

This is normal, Tang Mu has been separated from her clan for many years and has not been in touch, so naturally she cannot be recognized as a member of the clan.

When Wei Shi was stationed in Luyang, the people of the Tang family probably heard about Wei Shi's deeds from somewhere, and felt that he was an object that could be invested, so they hurriedly added Tang's mother.

Reach out and don't hit the smiley person.

It's always good to have someone from your mother's family come and recognize you.

Wei Shi also didn't know what Tang Gong thought, so he sat down and talked with him in the county office.

According to Tang Lin, he and Tang's mother are cousins, and when Tang's mother was not married, he also went to the main branch of the Tang clan in Yanxian County with Tang's mother, and met Tang Mao, the patriarch of the Tang family.

"Nephew Wei knows that Tang Ji, the princess of Hongnong, that is, the daughter of Tang Mao, is now living in the Tang family's other house in Yanxian County, and if Nephew Wei wants to go further, he can go to Yanxian County to visit Tang Ji, or it may be useful."

Tang Lin was a talkative person, and after confirming Wei Shi's identity, he began to introduce him enthusiastically.

According to him, Tang Ji is a person from the main branch of the Tang clan in Yanxian County, who was forced by Li Xuan and was almost insulted, and then after returning to Yingchuan by luck, he chose another house to live in seclusion, not a close person of the Tang family, and did not know Tang Ji's residence.

Tang Lin also once returned to Yanxian County to worship his ancestors, and heard it from several elders of the Tang family.

"However, Nephew Wei also knows that this may be a drunken remark, and the credibility is not high, hehe!" After Tang Lin told Tang Ji's whereabouts, she suddenly realized that she had missed her mouth and immediately changed her mouth to make amends.

"Tang Gong has a heart, please rest assured that the soldiers from the inner countryside are stationed in Luyang, and they must strictly abide by the Han law, and the Tang family's industry still has acres of land and homestead land, and they will not be harassed."

Wei Shi nodded and thanked Tang Lin.

His words were also what Tang Lin wanted to hear the most.

The Tang clan of Luyang, like the Tang clan of Yanxian County, belonged to the side close to Cao Cao, after hearing that there was a Liu Beijun entering the city, Tang Lin was shocked into a cold sweat, fortunately he still had some eyes and ears in Nanyang County, and found out the identity of Wei Shi.

After Tang Lin left, Wei Shi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Judging from the next situation in Nanyang County, his next road is really difficult.

On Liu Biao's side, there is the Cai Mao family, so there is no need to think about it.

On Liu Bei's side, Wei Shi did not have direct contact with this Han imperial uncle, but he had a lot of contacts with his wife Mi Zhen, Lord Bo Liu Yan, Zhonglang Mi Zhu, Mi Fang and others, and knew Liu Bei's situation in detail.

Liu Bei's mind is now full of the Northern Expedition and the Northern Expedition, or it is to recruit talented and talented generals, and people like Wei Shi who are not very famous will have to follow the hard qualifications, and most likely they will have to wait until the Battle of Chibi seven years later to have a chance to get ahead.

Seven years, that's too long.

Wei Shi couldn't wait, and he didn't want to wait.

Besides, if you work for others, how can you be comfortable as your own boss.

"Tang Gong said that Tang Ji's path seems to have to be taken, if you can recognize Tang Ji, then next, by Tang Ji's introduction, you can make friends with Emperor Liu Xiepan."

"Although Liu Xie is now a puppet emperor, his righteous name is still there, and there are still many officials who support him in the court, and Cao Cao will not be too opposed to promoting foreign county officials like Wei Shi."

Wei Shi was planning in the county government, and at the same time paying attention to the battle situation in Bowangpo, the sky was high and the emperor was far away, and the small life was comfortable.

In the area of Bowangpo, at this time it was already a beacon fire, and the fight was inexorable.

After learning of the appearance of Wei Shi's subordinates, Xiahoudun ordered Han Hao to speed up and attack Zhao Yun, and after a fierce battle, Xiahoudun, Yu Ban, Han Hao and others chased their tails into the Bowangpo Valley.

The actual process of this battle was that Liu Bei and Xu Shu saw the Cao army's large army entering the valley, and immediately ordered the valley to be set on fire to block the Cao army's retreat.

At the same time, the two brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also led troops to kill, plus Liu Bei pressed Wei Yan, Fu Wei and other reinforcements and horses, and the Cao generals such as Xiahoudun, Yu Ban, and Han Hao, who were dizzy from being burned, could not resist and could only retreat in a hurry.

Wei Shi's side, when he found out the news of the fire in Bowangpo, he immediately sent a message to Liao Hua and Hou Yin in Bear's Ears Mountain, and when the two heard that there was an opportunity to benefit, they immediately went down the mountain with a thousand Tukou each.

One thousand per person, two thousand in total.

The total is not much.

Of course, this is not all the strength of Liao Hua and Hou Yin.

Although I believe in Wei Shi's personality, leaving a few points for doing things is the consistent practice of Liao, Hou and other Dakou.

Outside Luyang City, Wei Shi led all the township soldiers to gather, and saw two teams of men and horses roaring from a distance.

"A certain Liaohua in Chuyang, in the past few days, I have heard Hou Dangjia talk about the deeds of the Wei brothers, and I am really admired and admired, and when I see it today, I am really a hero......

Among the crowd who rushed to meet, a big man with a yellow scarf on his head strode out and greeted Wei Shi.
