Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

In Langzhong City, Li Qianzhe walked up and down the hall of the city lord's palace with an irritated look on his face, surrounded by representatives of various wealthy families who looked embarrassed.

Seeing Li Qianzhe's expression, everyone felt quite uneasy. They communicated with each other with their eyes. In the end, Luo Zongyi, who was familiar with Li Qianzhe, stood up and said, "After the discussion in Sugar City, we and others have finished." Remembering Marquis Li's instructions, he waited for the king's army of Wei to enter the city and then marched to the city to protest. However, he did not expect that the king's army would advance so quickly and Yang Qian's reputation would be so great that the result would be direct..."

"That's right, the Di chieftain was unjust and failed to fulfill his trust. He led the Wei army in without any resistance. Marquis Li has not yet arrived, and we are afraid that our country will be disturbed, so we urgently surrendered."

As Luo Zongyi spoke, everyone around him nodded in agreement.

Surrendering to the Western Wei army was already agreed upon, but these Brazilian nobles did not expect that Yang Qianyun, a Di chief with thick eyebrows and big eyes, was even less elegant than them. He directly let go of the sword pavilion and welcomed the Wei army in.

Precisely because of this, these Brazilian wealthy people who had no fighting spirit became even more panicked. On the one hand, they were worried that the Di people would rely on the Wei people's momentum to come and invade their hometown. Surrendering early may also result in more preferential treatment due to a positive attitude.

Therefore, after some discussion, they did not wait for Li Qianzhe's arrival, but directly sent people to deliver the letter of surrender to the Wei army camp in Fushui. However, after receiving the letter of surrender, the general of the Wei army asked them to send people and materials to help the expedition, but they were dumbfounded. Only then did they realize that they had surrendered to the wrong target, and a series of subsequent events occurred. changes.

Luo Zongyi saw that Li Qianzhe's face was still not very good-looking, so he said cautiously: "After I knew that something was wrong, I quickly made amends and asked General Li of the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion to send troops to surrender. I will wait for it." I just made a mistake when I was busy, but my heart for surrendering to justice was sincere!"

After Li Qianzhe heard this, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart. He didn't know what these guys were thinking. They just felt that instead of abiding by the previous agreement and allowing himself to enjoy the credit of lobbying, it would be better to bypass him and gain a positive performance.

But for Yuchijun's army, which had already passed the dangerous pass of Jiange and entered the middle of Shu, the surrender of Brazil County was just the icing on the cake. The most important thing at the moment was to continue to attack Chengdu. Of course, there will not be too many distractions to appease the powerful Brazilians. The main thing is to extract the manpower and material resources from them to keep the battle going.

Now their repeated attitude has undoubtedly exposed some of the early arrangements made by General Li for Bashu, and it is estimated that it will have a certain negative impact on the subsequent development of the situation.

Li Qianzhe worked tirelessly for several years and made a lot of personnel preparations, but he did not expect that when it was time to receive the fruits of victory in the end, he would have such a moth due to the shortsightedness of these Bashu powerful men. He was in a bad mood. Just imagine.

However, at the moment, he could not directly reprimand these Brazilian powerful men for not keeping their faith. He could only say in a deep voice: "The He Ruokai Mansion sent by General Li is leading his troops here and will enter the city soon. You wait first Make arrangements for everything to be done, and after He Ruokai enters the city, we can arrange for the disciples of the various families to go to Rangcheng. There are strong troops stationed here in Langzhong to ensure that everything is safe!"

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. Although after this incident, they also realized that the Western Wei army that invaded Shu was not working together, and there were still internal differences and differences, but they did not dare to make any more small moves.

Although the Wei army stationed in Fulishui was the main force of the Western Wei Dynasty, Yang Qianyun's uncle and nephew had already been there, and the leader of that large army obviously did not pay enough attention to their Brazilian power.

On the other hand, General Li of Jingzhou began to communicate with them a few years ago, and the business transactions they conducted were fair and trustworthy, based on the principle that it is better to do something raw than to do it, and there is also the art of frosting and sugar craftsmanship. The huge temptation is, of course, it is more reliable to choose to join General Li.

Not to mention the situation here in Langzhong, Lieutenant Chi Jiong of the Fushui Camp was a little confused at first after receiving the second letter of surrender submitted by the Brazilian powerful. However, after carefully reading the letter of surrender, he carefully read the letter of surrender. After combing through the clues carefully, he gradually figured it out, and his face suddenly became gloomy and ugly: "Li Boshan's arms and legs are really stretched out. Although he can't reach it physically, he still refuses to give up this effort and wants to send his minions to snatch it away!"

He had been working hard to conquer Shu for a long time, and of course he hoped to achieve a glorious victory in his own hands. However, he did not expect that although Li Boshan was based in Mianbei, he had already penetrated deeply into Bashu. This naturally made Yuchi very angry.

In his heart, he did not want Li Boshan to have too strong a sense of presence in this war against Shu, so he planned to put aside the Brazilian tycoons who had gone back on their word, and then turned around and severely punished these local tycoons after Chengdu was captured. They packed up the blow.

However, after weighing the situation, he still summoned Yang Qianyun's nephew Yang Lue to carefully inquire about the personnel in Brazil County.

After learning that although the location of Langzhong City would not have much impact on the subsequent war, its local sentiments and influence were very good in Shu, Yuchi Jiong pondered for a while before ordering the army Sima Li Shicao to be summoned into the army. Come to the account.

As Li Tai's cousin, Li Shitong didn't know much about the personnel management of the Jingzhou Governor's Office in Shuzhong. He was recommended to go with the army, and he secretly planned in his heart not to lose the face of the Li family in Longxi.

Therefore, before the expedition, he knew a lot about the humanities and geography of central Sichuan, and he also studied a lot about military affairs. Since the expedition, he has been performing his duties conscientiously. Before Yuchi Jiong called him into the camp, Li Shicao was still inspecting the condition of the horses in the horse camp.

So when Li Shicao hurriedly entered the tent, the hem of his clothes and the soles of his feet were still stained with some cow and horse excrement, which brought a putrid smell into the tent.

Before the expedition, Yuchi Jiong had been worried that Li Tai would rob him of the mission of the expedition. Now that he knew that he had carried out deep personnel infiltration in Shu, he even felt disgusted with Li Shicao, a relatively conscientious marching commander.

But he still suppressed his disgust, looked at Li Shicao and said: "The Duke of Taiyuan recommended Li Sima to accompany the army on the expedition. He once said that Sima was familiar with the personnel in Shu. Now there are righteous people in Brazil's counties and villages asking for surrender, but Now the army still needs to continue marching south to look at Chengdu, and has no time to explore other places. Please ask Sima Qie to lead his troops to accept the surrender, calm the people, and take care of county affairs. "

"This, this, I have been in the government since I entered the customs, and I have never had any trouble with the state or county. Now I am suddenly appointed to the county position, and it is a newly attached place. The subordinates are only dozens of disciples. I am afraid I will not be qualified..."

When Li Shicao heard this, he couldn't help but look embarrassed. He was not afraid, but he was not a general who was accompanying the army on this expedition. He only led dozens of soldiers from his tribe to escort him on the march and to watch over Zhou Quan Shang on the battlefield. However, it would be too shabby to accept a surrender from a big city with only this few manpower.

When Yuchijiong heard this, he immediately frowned and said that Li Shicao was pretending to be confused and wanted to use this to gain more troops from him to strengthen his power.

His willingness to appoint Li Shicao to Brazil County was considered as taking the overall situation into consideration, and knowing that Li Tai already had many personnel arrangements for Brazil County, it was absolutely impossible to send people there again.

"Going to a foreign country is to fight for your life and make heroic achievements. Who below me dares to say that everything is perfect? ​​Since Li Sima went to war from me, he should obey my military order and immediately send an envoy to Langzhong to accept the surrender. If he disobeys the order again, military law will not be enforced. "Rao!"

Yuchijiong lowered his face, raised his finger, pointed at Li Shicao and yelled angrily.

After Li Shicao saw this, he naturally did not dare to argue any more and hurriedly accepted the order respectfully. Just when he was about to resign and prepare to go out, Yuchijiong called out to him again.

"He Ruodun's troops on the east route will probably arrive in Langzhong. After Sima leaves, in addition to taking care of county affairs, he also warns the soldiers on the east route to intimidate the other side, and remember not to make noise and interfere with the Chengdu military in Danqu, Brazil and other places. Don't leave Langzhong without my order, otherwise you will be severely punished!"

The incident in Brazil County also made Yuchijiong wary. He was worried that Li Tai might rely on He Ruodun and his men to interfere even more with the war against Shu, so he simply ordered He Ruodun's troops to stay in Langzhong. Allow them to participate in the subsequent war.

Li Shicao didn't know that Yu Chijiong was already secretly competing with his cousin, but when he saw his cold expression and serious tone, he didn't dare to neglect him. He could only nod in agreement and then exited the tent.

Taking Yuchi Jiong's order, he first summoned more than fifty of his followers, and selected two Shu guides. Then each of them rode a horse, carrying bows, knives and instruments, and headed straight towards Langzhong City. go.

At this time, there was no order in the middle of Shu, and there were many bandits running rampant in the countryside, but there was no large-scale banditry yet. Li Shicao and his party were naturally weak compared to the larger army, but they were also a force that should not be underestimated for those rural bandits. In addition, they were still dressed in Western Wei military uniforms and had flags and drums as tokens, so they did not encounter any enemies along the way. No matter what kind of harassment they encountered, they arrived at Langzhong City smoothly.

This time, nothing happened. After Li Shicao sent his token of identity and the letter of surrender into the city, a group of people quickly rushed out of Langzhong City to warmly welcome him into the city.

"The last general was originally ordered by the general to go to the military camp to welcome Li Sima, but due to the twists and turns of the mountain road, he arrived a few days late. Fortunately, although there were twists and turns, there was no danger at all."

Li Qianzhe had never met Li Shicao, but he was advised by the general to know about this personnel arrangement, so after verifying Li Shicao's identity, he quickly led his troops to welcome him into the city and introduced him to the situation in the city. Ichiban.
