Chapter 162: Quietly Changing

Wei Xuan felt disgusted with the soft bones in his heart, but he knew how to control his emotions, so he still soothed Zhao Wei's kind words, and asked about Liu Yan's situation. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhao Weijin said: "Mianzhu is only two hundred miles away from here, and there are many barbarians under the command of the lord, who are good at walking mountain roads, and they can come in the morning and evening." If Yanzi Liu Mao marries a wife tomorrow, he will be unprepared, and he can be caught!"

It is difficult to go to Shu and it is difficult to go to the sky. If Wei Xuan hadn't entered Yongchang from the south by mistake, and happened to subdue Ren Qi and Zhu Bao, otherwise it would have been so easy to sit in the lobby of the Chengdu County Guard's Mansion. Don't look at the fact that it is only less than 200 miles from Chengdu to Mianzhu, but it is even more difficult to walk than the ordinary 500 miles. Although the Southern Barbarian Army is good at walking mountain roads, they do not learn the method of attacking the city, and it may not be easy to capture Mianzhu, which is heavily guarded by Liu Yan. Wei Xuan couldn't help but groan and looked at Ren Qi.

Ren Qi hurriedly said: "Qi Lord, his subordinates have already written Jia Long, and I ask the lord to wait for a few days and wait for his reply." ”

Zhao Wei said: "Liu Mao is married to Wu Yi's sister, and people say that she has a rich and noble appearance. If he succeeds, he may hinder the lord's plan. I hope that the lord will not doubt it and stop it quickly!"

A woman who is rich and noble usually refers to the queen, and Wu Yi's sister did become a queen in history, but it has nothing to do with Liu Yan and Liu Mao, but she became Liu Bei's queen. People at the time were superstitious about physiognomy, and Zhao Wei thought that Wei Xuan was no exception, so he wanted to use these words to move Wei Xuan. After all, Zhao Wei chose to surrender, and there was no way to turn back, so he could only hope that Wei Xuan would defeat Liu Yan as soon as possible, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to sleep well.

Guo Jia also believed these rumors, and he was not only uninhibited, but also quite adventurous, and immediately bowed his hand and said: "My lord, my subordinates think that Lord Zhao's plan is feasible!

Marching to fight and making suggestions, Wei Xuan knew that he was not as much as Guo Jia, so he nodded and said: "Order, cook on the third watch, and set off on the fourth watch!"

......

The fourth watch refers to the ugly hour, the time period from 1 a.m. to 3 a.m. The night was cloudy, the moon was dim, and it was faint and faint. Wei Xuan personally led 10,000 Nanban warriors, with Meng Huo and Duo Si as deputy generals, out of Chengdu City. The soldiers held torches in one hand and swords and guns in the other, looking from afar, like a dragon, very spectacular.

The difficulty of the Shu Road was indeed well deserved, although the Nanban warriors were still walking like flying on the mountain, and there were local guides selected by Zhao Wei, by the afternoon of the next day, the army still failed to reach Mianzhu. Wei Xuan was worried about leaking the news, so Liu Yan was prepared, and he couldn't help but hesitate. After all, these Southern Barbarian warriors were more loyal to him than the Chu army, and he couldn't bear to let these warriors die in the siege battle in vain.

Suddenly, the front army came to report that a group of rebels was coming this way. If Liu Yan got the news and sent troops to intercept it, it would not be a chaotic army. Wei Xuan was very strange, but he didn't care about getting to the bottom of it, and immediately ordered: "Stop them, don't let anyone go!"

The rebellious army was no more than a hundred horsemen, and they were soon surrounded. One of them saw the Weixuan banner and hurriedly shouted, "I'm Jia Long!"

It turned out that after Jia Long received Ren Qi's secret letter, he immediately contacted the old department and gathered more than 5,000 soldiers and horses. However, just in time for Liu Mao to marry, Jia Long was eager to make meritorious contributions, so he wanted to take advantage of the chaos, but he was unexpectedly sued by his subordinates, lost the opportunity, and was killed by Liu Yan and defeated. Jia Long had to fight to the death to protect the left and right, so he killed Mianzhu and fled here.

Wei Xuan frowned and said, "Where is your family?"

Jia Long sighed: "They are all in Mianzhu City, but I am afraid that they have been harmed by Liu Yan." ”

Wei Xuan blamed Jia Long for being reckless and ruining his big business, but when he saw the Qi Rong on Jia Long's face, he had to say kind words to reassure him: "If Liu Yan harms your family, Gu will avenge you!" It's just that I don't know if Liu Yan has sent troops to chase after Yu Ru. ”

What he was afraid of was not Liu Yan's pursuers, but that Jia Long would startle the snake so that Liu Yan strengthened the city defense of Mianzhu.

Jia Long gritted his teeth and said: "It's not just sending troops to chase after him, he can't wait to skin his subordinates and eat the meat of his subordinates." Although his subordinates were defeated, they also set a few fires, burned his grain and grass, and burned most of Mianzhu City! At this moment, he was afraid that he had personally led his troops to kill him. ”

Wei Xuan sneered: "Gu Zheng is afraid that he won't come! Meng Shu, you lead an army to set up ambushes on both sides." Doth, you send a message to the rear army and order it to advance quickly!"

When Jia Long heard that Wei Xuan still had a rear army, he was relieved.

Meng Shu left, and Wei Xuan also led the army back ten miles. Soon, a Biao army and horse chased after him, but there were only about a thousand people. Wei Xuan personally killed, and where the wind and rain sword technique passed, the heads were rolling, and there was never a single living mouth. After more than half an hour, I saw the smoke and dust billowing from the road ahead, and more than 10,000 people were looking at this side.

Wei Xuan's eyes were sharp, and he had already noticed that these people were walking unhurriedly, and there were many luxurious carriages in the team, and there was even a big red sedan chair. Next to the sedan chair, a young man was dressed in a red wedding robe, straddling a tall horse, but the expression on his face was a little confused. There is drum music in front and back, but the drummers are also listless.

What kind of chasing soldier is this, it is clearly a team to welcome relatives, but there is not much joy in this welcoming team. Although Wei Xuan didn't know why, he didn't hesitate at all, and immediately ordered: "Kill!"

The battle of Wei Xuan's slaughter just now made the morale of the Southern Barbarian Army rise to its peak. Although Wei Xuan did not strike again this time, everyone in the Southern Barbarian Army was still brave and competed for the lead. The team of men and horses from the direction of Mianzhu hurriedly responded to the battle, but there were people in their army, and there were troops among the people, and they could not form an army formation at all.

Many of the carriages in the team did not have time to turn around, some overturned on the side of the road, some crashed together, and some squeezed each other, blocked in the middle of the road, and all became prisoners, and the sedan chair was inevitable. The sedan chair man died, and the fleeing fled, and there was only a young man and a woman in her thirties left next to the sedan chair. The man stood guard with his sword, but the woman collapsed to the ground in fear.

Wei Xuan ordered Dian Wei to continue to pursue the fleeing enemy, and he himself came to clean up the battlefield. He casually lifted the curtain of a carriage, and saw the two young women in the carriage huddle together, hugging each other tightly and trembling.

Jia Long glanced at it and introduced: "This is Wu Yi's wife and concubine. He added: "The person guarding in front of the sedan chair is Wu Yi, and the person in the sedan chair must be his sister." His sister is destined to be rich and noble, so why shouldn't the lord accept her as a concubine? If the lord has this intention, his subordinates are willing to say it for the lord. ”

While he was talking, another team of men and horses came from behind, but it was Guo Jia who led the rear army to arrive. Hearing that Wu Yi's brothers and sisters were intercepted, Guo Jia also persuaded: "If the lord wants to settle in Yizhou, he can accept the Wu family first." ”

In many cases, marriage is the most convenient means of controlling a place. Wei Xuan was originally a concubine, which can be said to be the earliest marriage. Originally, it was not a glorious thing for a woman of the scholar clan to be a concubine, but with the growing power of Wei Xuan, this situation has quietly changed.
