Farmer of Shu Han

In May of the third year of Jianxing, when Meng Huo led his troops northward to aid Gaoding, Li Hui, the governor of Nanzhong, took advantage of the locals, took the mountain path, bypassed the eyes and ears of Yizhou rebels, and raided the gate of Yizhou Wei County.

The rebels were caught off guard and Wei County fell.

At this time, Meng Huo had just walked halfway when he received the news, and in a state of confusion, he hurriedly summoned Yong Kai, who was also the leader of the rebel army, and others to come to the tent to discuss.

Not far to the north of Wei County is Yong Kai's old nest Tanglang County. When Yong Kai heard that his old nest was in danger, he immediately suggested returning to his teacher immediately.

But Qu Eshun, who came to meet the Yizhou rebels, disagreed, and the two quarreled directly in the tent.

"Weixian County is the gateway to Yizhou County. Now that the door is wide open, the Han army may enter Yizhou County at any time, and it can cut off our retreat. If we don't deal with the Han army in Weixian County first, we will only be flanked. , even if Jie Shi wanted to retreat, it was too late!"

Yong Kai said to Eshun with a red face, "No matter what, it is right to ensure the safety of the back road first."

"Can't retreat!"

Eshun was nine feet tall and had a ferocious face. He was originally a descendant of Gao Ding, the Yi king of Yueyi, and he was also a barbarian. Because of his extraordinary courage, he was highly valued by Gao Ding.

He doesn't understand the truth, he only knows that King Yi is being attacked by the Han people, and the situation is very critical. If the person in front of him returns to Yizhou County, what will King Yi do?

It's a pity that although he is stronger than others, if you want to talk about his words, as a barbarian, how can he compare with Yong Kai, who was born in a wealthy family in Yizhou?

I saw Yong Kai's reason for withdrawing from the left and the reason for retreating on the right, but he couldn't refute a single word, and he became very anxious immediately.

In addition, the weather was hot and people were very angry, so seeing that Yong Kai was determined to take the troops back, Eshun immediately pulled out his saber, slashed it on the table, and shouted, "No one is allowed to retreat! Back, what about my king?"

Yong Kai was originally the initiator of Nanzhong's rebellion against the Han, but now he has the smallest power, no matter what, he can be regarded as one of the leaders.

I didn't expect that even a part of Gao Ding would dare to yell at him like this, and I was really shocked and angry.

It's just that Yong Kai knew that Eshun was brave and reckless.

Seeing that he dared to draw out the knife at this time, I was really afraid that he would cut it, and I was timid, so I had to hide this resentment in my heart for the time being.

Meng Huoben, who was sitting on top, was hesitating whether to retreat or move on, and he was very displeased when he heard Eshun say such words.

So he snorted and shouted, "Your king is a king, so am I not a king? What kind of thing are you that you want to give orders to me?"

Eshun is a reckless man with a straightforward mind. Hearing Meng Huo say this, he realized that he had said something wrong, and said quickly, "I'm sorry, King Meng, that's not what the villain meant. The villain just..."

"That's not what you mean, so what do you mean? Even the knife is drawn out. See what you mean. If we want to retreat, are you going to fight us with swords?"

Seeing that Meng Huo finally spoke, Yong Kai quickly answered, "It's not that we say we won't rescue him, we just want to take Wei County back first, and save the way out."

It's just that he was thinking bitterly in his heart, after I brought the troops back to Yizhou, do you still want me to lead the troops out again? Get out!

One is determined to retreat, and the other insists on dragging people to rescue. Meng Huo, who can make a decision, is hesitant, so this debate is destined to end unhappy.

Seeing Yong Kai and Eshun glaring at each other before leaving the tent, Meng Huo couldn't help but get a big headache, and at the same time, his gaze towards Yong Kai's back became a little gloomy.

One very important reason why I was willing to respond to Yong Kai's rebellion against the Han was that Yong Kai was the successor of Shifang Hou Yongchi in the former Han Dynasty.

Think of Shifang Hou Yongchi, who first followed Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang to fight against Qin, as a courtier, but looked down on the lord, and after betraying Liu Bang, he framed him many times, causing Liu Bang to almost lose his life.

It is such a person who is hated by Liu Bang the most. Not only can he be named a marquis after the establishment of the Han Dynasty, but he can also die well. He is really a remarkable person.

I thought that the descendants of such characters should have some abilities no matter what.

That's why I listened to his orders, but lobbied the various cave masters and barbarians, and followed the big man.

I thought that under the call of this person, everyone will work together, not only can they attack Jincheng, but they can also defend Nanzhong. It is not bad to learn from Zhao Tuo of Nanyue and close the door to be a local emperor. .

Unexpectedly, the development of the following things showed that this is just a useless person who can only rely on the family reputation accumulated by the Yong family for hundreds of years.

With his own support, the Yong family has a great reputation. They won the status given by Soochow, led troops to attack Yongchang who had cut off foreign aid, and even retreated in defeat. Isn't this a useless person?

Mrs. Wang of Yongchang County repelled Yong Kai, and the morale of the army and civilians in the county was greatly boosted. It was not so easy to fight again.

Li Hui in the north of Yizhou is another remarkable figure, guarding Pingyi County, he is really like a rock, just stuck between the three counties, involving the three counties, he dare not act rashly.

The south cannot go to Yongchang, and the north cannot break through Pingyi. Coupled with the shattering of the title of "Empress Yongchi", without appeal, people from all walks of life in the South and Central China will become independent.

Alas, if he had known that Yong Kai was such an empty-headed thing, why should he follow the big man?

It's just that this kind of thing started, but it can only go all the way, and there is no turning back.

After all, not everyone is like Emperor Gaozu, nor is everyone as lucky as Shifang Hou Yongchi.

At the same time, he couldn't help but regret his arrangements before departure.

I thought that Dianchi Lake was the most important thing, so I asked my brother Meng Yan to move Dianchi Lake, and then sent another confidant to guard Wei County, but I forgot that the Han people are extremely cunning, and my own people are straight-hearted. , How can you compare your mind with a Han official like Li Hui?

It would be fine if the clan brother kept guarding Wei County. With his strategy, he would definitely be able to keep Wei County safe and sound.

The more Meng Huo thought about it, the more gloomy his face became.

The more Jun, the humble water.

Guan Xing took a few steps, climbed to stand on a small hill, and looked at Beishui City carefully with enough eyesight.

Bu Qu carefully held up the shield, protecting it on both sides, in case someone from the opposite city shoots cold arrows.

I saw that the gate of the opposite city was closed tightly, and there were still people's heads shaking faintly on the city wall, and there were still white lights shining from time to time, presumably it was the guards on the other side who were stepping up their patrols.

"Did you see any enemy reinforcements entering the city these days?"

Guan Xing asked a question.

"Back to the general, I haven't seen him for several days."

Part 1 someone replied.

After hearing this, Guan Xing had a smile on his face, "It seems that Gao Ding has already gathered all the people."

The prime minister marched slowly along the way, and many people in the army didn't know what he meant. They only knew that they wanted soldiers to be fast, and they all wanted to defeat Gaoding directly before it was ready to finish, so they all persuaded the prime minister to march quickly.

But I don't know that the prime minister is using it against the art of war at this time.

Gao Ding is the king of Yi who is more handsome, and the Yi people are different from the Han people.

On weekdays, the Yi people have their own hilltop villages of different sizes, and every mountain and village has its handsome cave masters scattered among the mountains and deep forests.

Because Gao Ding has the greatest power and the highest prestige, all the barbarian cave masters obey him.

If you break the high resolution in a hurry, the remaining cave masters, big and small, will inevitably have to rely on their own dangers. How difficult is it to conquer them one by one?

If they were left alone, after the army withdrew, there might be another chaos.

Now the prime minister deliberately marched slowly, so that Gao Ding had time to gather those Yishuai cave masters together, and then wipe them out in one fell swoop, and it would save a lot of trouble for the Yuejun prefect to manage them in the future.

This small hill was not too far from Beishui City, Guan Xing and his group stood there so boldly, which naturally attracted the attention of the people on the top of the city.

I saw someone stuck his head out from the crenel, and then retracted. After a while, someone pointed a bow and arrow, pointing directly at this side.

"General be careful."

Bu Qu hurriedly shouted, and was about to block Guan Xing with a shield.

"Don't worry, what he can't shoot is at least ten steps away."

After a while, only the sound of piercing through the air was heard, and a bow and arrow flew straight and landed about ten steps in front of Guan Xing.

Guan Xing snorted, there was a reason why he chose this place to observe.

In the past month, he has already figured out how many master arrows there are in the city and where they can shoot the furthest. Standing on this small hill happened to be the limit distance for archers in the city.

Now Gao Ding is shrunk in the city and dare not come out, so he can only watch him observe the city so openly, let alone the morale in the city will be hit.

When marching and fighting, as long as it is a method that can strike the enemy, no matter how big or small, naturally we must do our best to do it well.

After walking all the places around Beishui City, Guan Xing carefully observed the other party's situation, then Guan Xing returned to the camp and reported the situation to the commander-in-chief.

Unexpectedly, when I got into the tent, I saw that there were all the generals gathered in the tent, and everyone's faces were full of joy.

Seeing Guan Xing coming in, the prime minister who was sitting in the middle tent smiled and said, "I was thinking of sending someone to find Anguo and come back, but I didn't expect you to come by coincidence."

"The last general came back from exploring the enemy and met the prime minister."

Guan Xing hurriedly clasped his fists in salute.

"An Guo went here, did you find anything?"

Zhuge Liang asked.

"Back to the Prime Minister, there is no difference from the previous few days. The last general even went around to the back of the city to find the woodcutter in the mountain. After asking, he learned that Beishui City has not had any troops entering the city for several days."

"good."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Liang nodded appreciatively and said, "If it is true as you said, then you have made a contribution first."

At the same time, he was very satisfied with Guan Xing in his heart, not to mention anything else, just what he said just now, it is obvious that he already knew his plan, which is rare among generals in the army.

Thinking this way in his heart, he looked around at the generals in the tent again, and said slowly, "Everyone, I just reported from Pingyi that General Ma has defeated Zhu Bao and pacified Zangke County."

When Guan Xing heard this, his heart was overjoyed, and he thought to himself, no wonder everyone's faces are so happy.

But he didn't know that Zhuge Liang had a more delightful news to tell him.

"What! Dudu Li has already broken through Wei County?"

Feng Yong was watching with the soap that had been drying in the shade for a few days, wanting to try the decontamination effect of this suspected soap thing, never thought that Li Yi would suddenly rush to the yard with someone and tell him the explosive news.

"Yes, my lord took advantage of Meng Huo going north to aid Gaoding, so he led his troops around the mountain path, and suddenly appeared at the foot of Wei County city. The barbarians in the city were caught off guard, and your lord captured Wei County in one fell swoop."

Li Yi's face was full of joy, "Now I'm sending someone over, I want to tell my brother that there are many barbarians captured in Wei County, so I'm going to send some people to take care of it."

With a bang, the soap in Feng Yong's hand fell to the ground.

"Why did Governor Li come to find me? Is there no one in charge in the Governor's Mansion in Pingyi County?"

"Brother, you are the Captain of Yizhou Diannong! Who in Pingyi County can be as old as you?"

Li Yi said heavily, and then he leaned over and said in a low voice, "Before the Prime Minister went south, didn't you ask my brother to find a way to make the people of Nanzhong feel comfortable in childbirth? My brother thought of a way to cultivate Nanzhong, so these people Labor, isn't it just in handy?"

"Brother, if you don't hurry up to find labor now, you will have no excuse to find labor in Nanzhong after the prime minister leveled Nanzhong."

Feng Yong's tiger... shook his body, squatted down straight, and picked up the soap without bending over.

"Does Governor Li know what we are going to do?"

"Oh, my good brother, even His Majesty is involved in such a big matter, how could the prime minister not know? If the prime minister knows, how can he not let the adults in Nanzhong, the governor, know?"

"Oh, I'm confused."

Feng Yong suppressed the shock in his heart, and thought that Li Huineng was able to become the governor of Nanzhong, so he really has a thick face and a dark heart!

Seeing that Nanzhong is about to be pacified, it will not be as convenient as before to find labor in Nanzhong in the future. At most, it will be to find those barbarian villages hidden in the deep mountains and old forests.

But that cost is too high.

Because Nanzhong is still a wild place where wild beasts and humans coexist, and there is a world-famous miasma, so let alone whether it can be found, even if it is found, the casualties are still high.

So taking advantage of the righteousness of the current chaos, he directly transformed the prisoners of war into labor—this was the last labor carnival in Nanzhong, so he wanted to eat a lot of oil at this last moment.

"Prime Minister..."

Feng Yonggang said two words, but paused again.

Li Hui is Zhuge old demon's hardcore, how could Zhuge old demon not know about this?

Damn, maybe this is Zhuge old demon's idea!

The more Feng Yong thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.

Think about the records in the history books, after the pacification of Nanzhong, the Zhuge old demon moved more than 10,000 strong soldiers and Qingqiang from Nanzhong to Shu, forming the Wudang Flying Army, and even trafficked people to the big clans in Shu, Made a fortune.

Of course, what was written in the book may be more pleasant, saying that it persuaded the big clans in central Shu to donate money and food, and bought the barbarians to play the part.

This is so...

To appease the barbarians with money and food from the big clans in central Shu, the barbarians are not grateful to them, but to the old monster Zhuge.

While drawing blood from the big clan in central Shu, this Zhuge old demon won the hearts of the barbarians, mixed sand into the territory of the big clan in central Shu, and even made a fortune by hand.

Anyway, if Feng Yong himself was played by Zhuge Yao like this, he would definitely feel as disgusted as eating shit.

"Little brother, please make a quick decision, brother."

Li Yu added a little anxiously, "Your Excellency won Wei County, and went straight to Dianchi Lake with his troops. Only a small number of people were left to watch Wei County. If it takes a long time, I'm afraid something will change!"

With a bang, the soap in Feng Yong's hand fell to the ground again.

"Brother, your soap has fallen."

Yang Wanwan reminded him and bent down to pick up the soap.
