Chapter 61: Sister-in-law, Come to Visit
Huang Zhong, a powerful general, cannot be attached for the time being.
When Wei Shichu heard the news, he felt quite lost, it took a long time, and in the end it was just a promise, and he didn't know if he would change his hexagram in the future.
But when he calmed down and thought about it carefully, Wei Shi found that he was thinking too much.
The Han people have a chivalrous style, so there is a saying that "a promise is a thousand gold".
In later generations, those shameless people who "borrowed money with their ability, why should they pay it back", if they traveled to the end of the Han Dynasty, they might be stabbed in the stomach in minutes.
Similarly, in the plot described in a famous romance novel, the famous generals and strategists immediately bowed down when they met, shouting "big brother", "lord", and "Ming duke".
Then, loyalty slowly rises and soon soars to 100, and such a "good thing" is unlikely to happen.
It's hard to be convinced.
This has been the case since ancient times.
Wei Shi didn't think that his personal charm could be so high that Huang Zhong would go to serve when he heard his name.
Now, Huang Zhong was able to send Huang Xu to serve in Wei Shi's army, which was a faint expression of his heart, not to mention that Huang Zhong also left a handwritten letter.
If Wei Shi goes to unwarranted suspicion again, he can only make the good generals chill and let the virtuous people miss out.
"Everything is difficult at the beginning, and when Fangling is stabilized, and then the three eastern counties are taken, after having enough fame, the people who should come will come, on the contrary, it is useless to lament now."
Wei Shi cleaned up his slightly lost emotions, led the main force to cross the Danshui, and marched in the direction of Fangling City.
After successfully repelling Huang Zhong's block, Wei Shijun's morale was also high, and he was full of confidence in taking Fangling, and the vanguard Wei Yan even ordered the thief to pick Wang Xian's head on the flagpole.
Kou Shou Wang Xian, the head of the body is in a different place!
Who else would dare to fight.
That's what Wei Yan intended.
Sure enough, along the way, the guards at various passes, hearing that Wei Shi's army had arrived, either fled in despair, or simply abandoned their weapons and knelt on the side of the road waiting for Wei Shi to receive them.
Actually, Taishou's surname is Kuai, and his surname is still Wei.
What does it have to do with them, who to work for is not a part-time job.
Wei Shi was not embarrassed by these people, and directly ordered Wei Gong, Wang En and others to take over the Yiting Township, and the main force of the army continued to move forward, striving to take Fangling in one go.
Kuaiqi, there is no Huang Zhong, that is, a toothless tiger.
Wei Shi was not worried.
He focused on guarding against the Shen Tan and Shen Yi brothers of Xicheng and Shangyong, these two people were the head snakes of the three eastern counties and the famous anti-bone boys of the Three Kingdoms in the late Han Dynasty.
Historically, Liu Bei's righteous son Liu Feng was stationed in the three counties because the Shen brothers had different intentions, and they did not dare to easily transfer troops to leave the country, and in the end, the reason why Liu Feng lost the three eastern counties was also the credit of the Shen brothers' backstabbing.
September 8, 7th year of Jian'an.
The high sun scorched the earth, and the banner of Fangling City was upside down, and the soldiers guarding the gate of the city were also depressed, no longer showing their earlier vigor.
Wei Yan led the army to the gate of Fangling City.
From afar, I saw Taishou Kuaiqi kneeling on the ground with a depressed expression, carrying thorns, looking pitiful as being bullied, and he did not have the majesty of being too punctual before.
"Kuai Qi, are you going to bear the guilt of Jing Pleading? Haha, just wait. Wei Yan laughed and rode into the city.
Although Kuai Qi is a side branch of the Nanjun Kuai family, he is also overly high on weekdays, and he looks down on the disciples of the poor sect, and the appearance of kneeling and pleading at this time makes Wei Yan's heart quite happy.
"Wei..., Wei Taishou, can you be in the back? Qi knelt first, waiting for Wei Taishou to arrive and hand over. ”
Kuai Qi held the Taishou seal ribbon, raised his head and glanced at the Wei character on the banner, and almost misunderstood that the red-faced man in front of him was Wei Shi.
Man is a sword, I am a fish.
At this time, Kuai Qi's heart was full of regret or remorse.
If it weren't for Wang Xian, a thief who had not achieved enough things and had more than enough defeats, how could Huang Zhong have withdrawn from the army, if Huang Zhong's father and son did not retreat, then Fangling City would not be in danger for the time being.
Wei Shi led the Chinese army and arrived at the foot of Fangling City, it was already past afternoon.
Seeing a group of soldiers surrounding the kneeling Kuai Qi, Wei Shi hurriedly dismounted, walked a few steps hurriedly to Kuai Qi, supported him with both hands, and made a shocked appearance.
"Brother Ziming, what does this mean? Thou shalt kneel at the gate of the city, how dare the stone be? Wei Shi said as he pulled Kuai Qi up.
Then, Wei Shi patted Kuai Qi's shoulder affectionately, signaling left and right to untie the shackles of the thorns.
"Wei Taishou, Qi has no eyes, there are many offenses, I am really ashamed, today is not only to ask for sin, but also to resign to Wei Taishou, and I hope that there are a lot of adults, for the sake of the Kuai family, let the Qi family return to their hometown."
Kuaiqi wept and cried, his knees were weak and he wanted to kneel again.
The boy had gold under his knees.
But if your life is dying, it doesn't matter if you have gold or not.
In case Wei Shi is an unreasonable butcher, with murderous intentions, he will be stabbed with a knife, then there is no need to think about fame and fortune, and even the newly married wife Zhuge Lan will be filled into the army as an advocate.
Advocate of tricks, slaves and maids who please people.
Thinking of Zhuge Lan's gentleness and loveliness, and thinking that his wife was going to be toyed with, Kuai Qi's heart was even more uncomfortable.
"Where did Brother Ziming come from, you and I are officials in the same dynasty, and we have the origin of successively serving as the Taishou of Fangling, I, Wei Shi, am a person who misses the old days, and I will definitely not do anything to harm the robe."
"Shi heard that Mrs. Sister-in-law is from the Zhuge clan of Junya, and there are brothers in the family who live in seclusion in Longzhong, I don't know if it's accurate, and after Shi takes care of his official business, he will definitely come to visit."
Wei Shi smiled, and said tightly holding Kuai Qi's hand.
Kuai Qi has surrendered, and his net worth and life are under Wei Shi's control.
At this time, it is more useful to keep Kuaiqi than to kill him.
What's more, the eldest brother of Mrs. Kuaiqi's Zhuge clan is Zhuge Jin, and the second brother is Zhuge Liang.
The dream of subduing Zhuge Liang as a junior brother is shared by every traverser, and Wei Shi is naturally no exception.
Whether or not it can be achieved in the end is another matter.
"Okay, good ....... When will Wei Taishou come, and say in advance when the time comes, Qi will ask your sister-in-law to prepare the wine and food. Kuai Qi was supported by Wei Shi, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes.
Although he didn't know why Wei Shi specifically mentioned Zhuge Lan, as long as Wei Shi was willing to come to the door, it would be a good thing.
"Someone, send Brother Ziming back to his residence. Wei Cheng, you take a team of personal soldiers to guard outside, but if there are those who collide and make trouble, take it directly. Wei Shi shouted and motioned for Wei Cheng to send Kuai Qi home.
Kuai Qi wants to leave, of course Wei Shi will not let go.
He is now very short of people under his hands.
Kuai Qi no longer has the ability, he is also a person who has read books and served as a guard, not to mention, Kuai Qi is still a member of the Kuai family, if he can make good use of it, it is also a good help.
