Chapter Twenty-Eight: Sheep Hunting

At this time, Bingzhou was already like a ripe melon, crumbling above Ji Han's palm.

The world is divided into 14 states, namely Si, Yong, Liang, Yi, And, You, Hebei, Qing, Yan, Henan, Xu, Jing, Yang, and Jiao. Bingzhou is located in the area of Shanxi and Shaanxi in later generations. During the time of Emperor Wu, he led Taiyuan, Shangdang, Xihe, Yunzhong, Dingxiang, Yanmen, Shuofang, Wuyuan, and Shangjun, a total of nine counties, which were one of the most important frontiers of the Northern Anti-Hu people. It's a pity that in the anti-Hu struggle of more than ten generations of emperors, the more the state resisted, the smaller it became, and by the time of Cao Wei, with the addition of the new Leping and Xinxing counties, there were only six counties left: Taiyuan, Shangdang, Xihe, Yanmen, Leping, and Xinxing. Fortunately, Ji Han took back all the counties that were lost, and if Ji Han's calculation method was used, more than half of the states had already been included in Ji Han's pocket. At present, Cao Wei is only guarding the four counties of Taiyuan, Shangdang, Dongping, and Xinxing. Xihe has entered the hands of Ji Han, except for a few dangerous checkpoints, most of Yanmen is controlled by Ji Han, just waiting for Ji Han's final hand.

Beginning in the summer of the sixth year of Jianxing (227), there began to be a series of small-scale commotions in Bingzhou.

From Yanmen to Jinyang, from Shangdang to Huguan, all kinds of rumors are spreading, and children's songs are spreading.

"The Big Dipper, clear and clean, shines on the four fields, and is stable."

"The Han Dynasty is prosperous in the world, and the lord of the Beidou is in charge of the Quartet."

The people quietly gestured with their hands: This day is about to change.

Some scolded: It should have changed a long time ago, as soon as Lord Liang died, these bastards will bully people to death!

In fact, the state is bitter, not from today, and the state has less cultivated land, more population, and various departments live together. Living in poverty. In the past few years, there have been successive wars, young and strong people have been conscripted into the army, and the people have increased their burdens, and Liang Xi, who has the world's first political ability, is coordinating and can still compromise, but now that Liang Xi is dead, the grain and salt in the river are cut off, and the state can't bear it all of a sudden. In this case. Where can there be malicious propaganda by people with intentions?

Of course, these caring people are Li Sheng, Li Wei brothers and Guan Suo.

Since receiving the order to come to the annexation of the state, they have used the original network of Zhiwen to develop underground forces under the guise of salt dealers, bribe Cao Wei officials, win over local tyrants, and carry out malicious propaganda. Began to assassinate underground, and all kinds of means were endless. Soon, the officials knew that there was a merchant surnamed Li who would come and do things. It's time to pay homage, and never let the commanders worry about it; The merchants all knew that there was an organization that sold smuggled salt, and the price of salt was low and the quality was good, and whoever contacted them would get rich; It became known in the army that there was an assassination group. As soon as you leave the barracks, you may encounter a sudden cold arrow, and several times the messengers in the camp have been assassinated on the way; The people, oh, the people don't know anything, except that the sky is about to change.

At this time, in Bingzhou, Cao Yu and Cao Zhao were in charge of the military. Politically, it is the Simbi that is in control.

Cao Yu has a docile personality, generous and easy-going, and is a good person, but it is difficult to say that he is a good commander, he does not have the vision to break the stereotypes and see through the world, nor does he have the courage to dare to gamble, let alone the wisdom of the world. The policy he laid down on the battlefield was by no means the worst. But it's also far from the best. He only chooses the most stable one to implement, but on the battlefield. If it weren't for Kong Ming and Sima's peerless geniuses, seeking stability would be self-defeating. Cao Zhao is actually an outstanding general, but unfortunately he is too emotional and it is difficult for him to have a stable performance. If he fights smoothly and fights hard, he can block Zhao Zilong, who is unparalleled in the world; If he is in a bad mood and his mind is not on the battlefield, he may also be beaten by a nobody and flee.

Xin Bi is a righteous and serious person, and often stabs Cao Rui directly on the Golden Palace, Cao Rui doesn't like him very much, and this time he was transferred from the court, and it cannot be said that there is no reason for this. But another reason can also be said that Xinbi was a courageous and knowledgeable ruler during the Three Kingdoms period; He has the ability to see the situation and think ahead. Xin Bi was a good counselor, whether it was Cao Cao, Cao Pi or Cao Rui, he had good advice. However, as a assassin, he needs more decision, communication, and grasping the most important contradiction to solve. However, Simbi had no experience as a presiding officer. He can see through the world at a glance, but he often can't see what is in front of him. As a counselor and counselor, it is by nature to strive for perfection and achieve ideals, so he cannot tolerate anything that is unethical under his rule.

For example, he could not tolerate Cao Yu to draw a large number of strong men to join the army in Bingzhou, and he had always advocated using Fan Li's method to develop commerce to support the people, and using Guan Zhong's method to govern the government, so that the people would know the righteousness, and the soldiers would be excited, and then use it, they would definitely be invincible. The reason is very good, it makes sense, and it is explained thoroughly, but he forgot that this is a state, Ji Han's army is pressing, and Cao Yu is burning his eyebrows, how can he listen to him to develop calmly? Seeing that Cao Yu didn't listen to him, Xin Bi became angry and immediately used the most common means, and he wrote a letter to Cao Rui to complain. However, Cao Rui just transferred him away, how could he listen to his verbosity again, and besides, Cao Yu and Cao Zhao are both relatives, how can they not be biased? casually classified his letter as heating materials. As a result, the dignified assassin could only sigh and watch Cao Yu destroy the stability of the state.

For another example, Simbi did not believe in the Hu people, and he was most willing to use the Han people. But when you enter the Assassin's Mansion, you can see that more than half of the positions here are held by foreigners from top to bottom, Xin Bi thought, this is not right, how can I use foreigners here? Let it all go. From top to bottom, hundreds of Hu people were sent back by him. By the time Liang Xi's son Liang Shi arrived in a hurry, he was already powerless. Liang Shi was so angry that he sat on the ground and cried bitterly, this is the warriors of all ethnic groups that my father took great efforts to collect, if they leave, the place will be chaotic, and there will be no peace in the state.

These words made him speak, those warriors left with their front feet, and their back feet were taken away by Zhiwen at a high price--Come to Ji Han, whose world is it now? It's Ji Han's, isn't your Shan Yu King also Ji Han's vassal king? If you join Ji Han, you are guaranteed to have a higher official position than in Cao Wei, and it is not impossible to make a military merit and pay homage to the marquis in the future. A small number of them refused to follow Ji Han, but when they returned to their tribes, they also began to move their minds.

As Cao Zhao said afterwards, he already felt like he was sitting on the crater all the time.

This feeling is right.

。。。。。。。。。。

When Wei Yan, Li Yu, Guan Feng, and Yu Zhuqi were the four-way army of Chen Bing Yanmen Pass. When attracting Cao Yu and Cao Zhaodi. Zhang Fei, who had been recuperating in Luoyang for a period of time, quietly returned to the front line of Tianjing Pass.

To the north of Tianjing Pass, it is Shangdang County, the gateway to the state. Shangdang County is the largest county in the state, and the eldest son of the county governor. It is bordered by Hedong and Hanoi in the south, Xihe County in the west, Guangping County in Jizhou in the east, and Taiyuan and Leping counties in the north. It is a piece of high ground surrounded by mountains. Its east and southeast are the Taihang Mountains, which are separated from Jizhou and Sizhou; The southwest is Wangwu and Zhongtiao Ershan, which are separated from Sizhou; To the west is the Taiyue Mountains; To the north are mountains such as Wuyun Mountain and Bafu Mountains. The Shangdang area is high and dangerous. Since ancient times, it has been a strategic place, and the origin of the word "party" is because "the earth is extremely high, and the sky is the party, so it is called the party". There are four big rivers in Shangdang County, and there are countless small rivers, and the folk customs are simple and strong.

Zhang Feibu climbed the Taihang Mountain all the way, within ten days. Even the high capital, the two cities of the Hyun family, and the garrison Changping Pavilion. It is only a few dozen miles away from the eldest son city of Shangdang. The party was too guarded by the sheep, and on the one hand, they set up troops in Changping to guard it, and on the other hand, they passed the book on both roads. It was reported to assassinate Shi Xinbi and the general of Huguan guard, and Ren Xian reported to the general Cao Zhenxing. Ren Xian is the son of Ren Jun, the captain of Changshui, known as Wu Yong, and the Marquis of Tingdu. At this time, Cao Zhen was still in Yecheng. His generals Wen Qin, Wang Shuang, Cheng Wu and others did not dare to move lightly. Zhang Fei was in Changping, attacking day and night.

This Changping is the place where the Qin army killed 400,000 Zhao troops, it is located in the north of the city of Hyun, and is the western and southern traffic throat and strategic barrier of Shangdang County and even Jizhou. Here the east, west and north are three mountains, the shape is like a kei, from the northwest to the southeast slope, the Dan River runs through the whole territory. The territory is mostly hilly and less mountainous, except for the Dan River. There are also five major tributaries that spread throughout the territory in the form of a network. Although the mountain is not high, there is a danger to rely on, although the city is not much, it is strong and defensible, and the water is not deep but it is enough to block the footsteps, which can be described as "a husband is a pass, and ten thousand people are not open". The Wei army encamped in Gaoguan, Changping Pass, Guguan and other places, relying on the hills to mobilize troops, relying on the river valley and Pingchuan to dispatch baggage and transportation to ensure the army's food and drink...... And so on. All of them are extremely beneficial to the main army and not to the guest army. So. At that time, Qin and Zhao were at war, Qin was strong and Zhao was weak. But the veteran Lian Po held on here for two years, and Qin Bing was helpless.

Of course, Zhang Fei is not the Qin army, and there are not as many people and horses as Lian Po. Zhang Fei acted quickly and attacked sharply, and it only took one day to break through Gaoping Pass, break through Cao Wei's first-line defense, occupy Guangwolf City, and advance to the west bank of the Dan River. Then he cut down the wood and built a bridge to cross the Dan River. Zhang Feidi's motto is, no matter what strategy you have, as long as I rush in front of you, you will not be able to do anything. It can't be said that Yang's defense is unfavorable, but the difference in strength is too great, and he can't stop the Han army's rush on a front that is more than ten miles wide?

It took only three days for Changping, which had not been captured by the Qin army for several years, to be broken through by the Han army, and it approached the city of the eldest son.

The Han army was powerful, and Ren Xian, who had always been known for his bravery, did not dare to come to the rescue, Zhang Fei sent Guan Xing to guard outside Huguan for three days and three nights, and then decided that the Wei army did not dare to go out of the city, so he collected his troops and came back. Since the Wei army did not leave the city, there was no need for the eldest son city to be consumed, Zhang Fei gave an order, the whole army attacked, and within one day, the city must be taken.

Although the eldest son city is also a county seat, but its fortification is far less than the capital city of Luoyang, under the attack of the Ji Han troops who are long in the siege of the city, where can it withstand it, under the attack of torch stones, bows and arrows, and giant crossbows flying in the sky, it was beaten to the point that there was no power to fight back, the city wall was dug down, and the Han army had entered the city in a blink of an eye.

Seeing that the lonely city was difficult to protect and the reinforcements had not arrived, Yang Wei returned to the palace with a long sword in his hand, and tears flowed down his face.

Mrs. Cai said: "Master, can't you hold it?" ”

Yang Wei nodded: "The husband is incompetent, the city is lost, and he has no shame to His Majesty." You are the daughter of the late Zuo Zhonglang General, who followed her husband and suffered all your life, at this time, how can I not be heartbroken? But this city has been destroyed, and how can I let you suffer such humiliation? "Raise your sword to kill.

Cai said: "Master, I know that you want to kill the whole family and then kill yourself to be loyal, you can kill me, but Hu'er is only seven years old, you can let him go." ”

Yang Wei shook his head: "If he lives, he can only be a thief, how can I let him apostatize and ruin my name?" ”

Cai's pain was painful, holding Yang Wei's legs with both hands, and begging: "Hu'er is still young, if you kill him, won't you break the Yang family's fireworks?" What's more, you are originally a Han Chen, my father Cai Yong is a great Confucian, and he is also a general of the Han Dynasty. Master, let Hu'er go. ”

Yang Wei didn't listen, and was about to kill his wife first, and then his son, but he heard someone next to him laugh and say: "Wouldn't it make the people of the world cold because they don't know how to practice and exterminate humanity and dare to call themselves loyal ministers?" ”

When Yang Wei looked back, it was a young man standing there, in the confusion, where did this young man come from? At this time, the city was on fire everywhere, and the whole house ran back and forth, and the shouts and cries rang out, and the more beautiful and refined this young man looked. He asked, "Who are you?" What do you want to do when you steal into my house? ”

The young man smiled: "I originally came to kill you, but now, I want to save people." ”

Yang Wei was furious, broke away from his wife, raised his sword and went straight to the young man, the young man drew his sword to meet him, and after a few hands, he actually cut Yang Wei's sword into two sections, which was clearly the high-level general of Ji Han to have the magic weapon created by Pu Yuan, the first swordsman in the world. Before the sheep could react, the bright autumn water was already across the sheep's neck. Seeing this, Cai Shi was shocked, rushed up, and shouted, "Don't kill my master!" The young man smiled slightly, retreated, and sighed: "Poor, I have seen Cai Wenji, who is famous all over the world, it is really shocking, are you actually her sister, it is too far away." ”

I don't know when, the Taishou Mansion has been controlled by the people brought by the young man, and the two of them are tied up with their family slaves. At first, Yang Wei only wanted to kill his son, but he was captured at this time, but he was hoping that he could escape, and was thinking about it, when he saw a young man coming from behind, and this young man was exactly the same as the young man next to him, holding his son in his hand.

"Brother, I also brought Taishou's son, this little devil is so slippery, he almost escaped."

These two teenagers are Li Sheng and Li Wei. They were in the state for half a year, and they had already explored the terrain of the mountains and rivers here, and the military and horse departments had already explored it clearly, and reported back to Ji Han. However, in contrast, they prefer to break through the Taishou Mansion and capture the Taishou family alive.

"You let me go, let me go!" The little ghost shouted under Li Wei's armpit, "Otherwise, I will grow up and become a general, and I will definitely beat your ass!" ”
