Three Kingdoms

What Yong Kai didn't expect was that on the second day after arriving in Wei County, Wei Yan sent out envoys with great fanfare to contact the surrounding local powerful people, including Cuan Xi.

Most of the powerful locals in Jianning are copycats, so they are not very closely connected with the county. When the soldiers sent by Wei Yan arrived, many people thought that it was Yong Kai who sent people to ask for money again. After receiving the supplies, I was a little angry and confused...

Didn't I just give you a batch? Why do you want something again?

Doesn't this guy Yong Kai want to take this opportunity to make a fortune?

If this continues, even if you only need a little each time, you won’t be able to supply it for a long time...

However, these people did not dare to be too negligent, but when they met, they realized that Wei County had been turned upside down, and they immediately lost their composure...

What about the Jianning autonomy that was promised?

Is it true that Sichuan and Shu are cowardly?

It wasn't long before he was knocked down and the family came. Where is Yong Kai? Come out and get beaten!

What?

Yong Kai ran away?

Suddenly, the colors on the powerful faces in these places were simply colorful.

Not all local tycoons have great ambitions, and there are also many who just want to live a happy life. So when some people heard that Wei County had been captured by Wei Yan, then Yong Kai, Gaoding and others "missed." , and suddenly my heart started to flutter.

Immediately, Wei Yan's soldiers expressed that General Hussar was unhappy with the Jianning rebellion, but fortunately Xu Yizhou explained the situation in the table above. Not all the powerful locals in Jianning participated in the rebellion. This time, Wei Yan came to distinguish the true from the false. , so the surrounding rural tycoons were asked to rush to Wei County within three days to identify themselves, otherwise they would be treated as traitors to the party and so on...

Not going?

Basically impossible.

The implication of Wei Yan's words is also very clear. Now that he can conquer Wei County, he has given him a chance. If he really waits for Xu Shu's troops to arrive, or for General Hussar's troops to arrive, there may not be anything like it. Now is the chance to speak.

Of course, it might be a bluff, but did Wei Yan conquer Wei County after all? In this momentum, there is a certain weight.

Therefore, after receiving the information, many local squires sent people to inquire about Cuan Xi, while also preparing in private...

After all, Cuan Xi is a big family in Jianzhong. Li Hui seemed to have had an accident some time ago, and he lost some face. But now that General Hussar's men are back, Cuan Xi has naturally become the first person to do his job.

It is said that the Cuan family is after Ban Gu, and the surname of the Cuan family was given by the emperor himself. Of course, there are also other theories, indicating that Cuan was transformed from colorful sand and stone and had incredible magical powers and abilities...

It can be seen from this point that in fact, the so-called upper-class rulers of Jianning like the Cuan family really did anything and dared to say anything in order to maintain their ruling authority. So when the news about Wei Yan reached Cuan Xi, Cuan Xi felt relieved.

Whether Li Hui is guilty of losing his land is another matter, but Cuan Xi is "loyal"!

"So and so..." Cuan Xi slowly stated his judgment on the situation, but he didn't mean to hide anything. Then he lowered his voice and said to Zhu Ti, "...Although King Gaoyi and others are more or less capable, There are some soldiers, but why not the hussar general? Now Wei County is the proof! If we continue to follow Yong and Gao, I'm afraid... there will be no good results..."

Zhu Ti's original name is not Zhu Ti, but the name of a Yi people. It has at least twenty syllables. On the one hand, it is for convenience, and on the other hand, Zhu Ti is also the number one person in Zhu Ti County, so he simply named it after the place name. Well, from a certain perspective, it can also be proved that Zhu Ti's power is not small.

Zhu Di thought for a moment and said, "What should we do now?" What does the leader of Cuan Village have in mind? 』

"I heard that Gao and Yong... also asked you for a lot of food and manpower?" ” Cuan Xi laughed twice and did not answer immediately, but asked instead.

Ju Tillo said with some embarrassment: "They were all old things... I didn't think about it that much at the time... After all, there was some kind of friendship..."

Cuan Xi was noncommittal and did not comment on Zhu Ti's excuse. Instead, he said: "Nowadays, there are many Yong's real estate shops in Wei County..."

Zhu Ti's eyes lit up, "What the village leader means..."

"Haha..." Cuan Xi said, "Now what General Wei wants us to show, isn't it just an attitude?" 』

Zhu Di was still hesitant and said: "If...then what...isn't it..."

Cuan Xi laughed and said, "If we can make this matter settle, wouldn't that be it?" 』

Zhu Ti rolled his eyes and said, "Brother Cuan, if you have any good ideas, just say so!" 』

"I heard..." Cuan Xi chuckled, "Xiandi and Meng Xiuming... seem to have a good relationship..."

Zhu Ti's eyes narrowed, "How could I do something to make him betray his master!" 』

Cuan Xi secretly laughed in his heart, I haven't said anything yet. After stroking his beard, he slowly continued: "What happened today is not that we abandon Gao Yong, but that Gao Yong and Gao Yong carry someone behind!" If he had kept his duty and not been disobedient, would he have been in trouble today? This move is not about personal grudges, but for the sake of peace and stability for the people..."

Two relatively large rural squires, such as Cuan Xi and Zhu Ti, began to rebel against Yong Kai and Gaoding, not to mention other smaller cottage country squires. They even felt that there would be more sweetness in dividing Yong Kai's property. , even after rushing to Wei County, Wei Yan informed him that only one village leader was really sick without coming in person. In order to fear that Wei Yan would be angry, he sent his legitimate son to apologize.

Wei Yan looked very open-minded. First of all, he immediately affirmed that all the powerful country men who came were good comrades. In addition, he also gave all the positions in Wei County that had been occupied by Yong Kai and other cronies to these people. After the partition, Wei Yan didn't plan to stay in Wei County for long anyway. As for the subsequent governance issues, he left them to Xu Shu to wipe his ass. He only had to focus on defeating Gao Ding, Yong Kai and others.

More than a dozen village owners, big and small, met in one place and quickly decided on Cuan Xi as the leader of this series. Cuan Xi did his part and together with Wei Yan, they finalized the sale of Haute Couture and Yong Kai. I told Wei Yan the price, and Liu Fan and his gang were also involved in Jianning...

In the ancient feudal dynasties, there was a saying that "the sky is high and the Yellow Emperor is far away", which is not an empty lie. In the ancient feudal dynasties, due to the cost and limitation of the number of officials, the control of the countryside was actually in various large and small forts and cottages, and rural autonomy was often considered.

Especially in times of trouble, even if they are not from aristocratic families, they will take advantage of the weakening authority of government departments and the lack of institutions to form various organizations to protect themselves or seek higher political rights.

These Wubao and Shanzhai can be said to be small separatist regimes, and usually have no special political opinions. Invisibly, Gaoding and Yongkai's control over Jianning is not as strong as they thought before. powerful. When Wei Yan held Cuan Xi's hand and stood together outside the Wei County Council Hall, the melon-eating crowd watching couldn't help but cheer, as if the melons they ate were so sweet.

Yong Kai's interests in Wei County were quickly divided up. Wei Yan got money, food and some important information, while Cuan Xi and others got actual fields and shops. Both parties were smiling and very happy. .

But behind the surface happiness, Wei Yan left Wei County based on the movements of Liu Fan provided by Cuan Xi and others. He did not return to his camp in Kuncheng, but continued his somewhat "daring" tailing. Liu Erren...

Wei Yan's move may seem reckless and impulsive, but in fact, if you think about it carefully, it points to the fundamental problem very accurately. Just like in history, Wei Yan was willing to lead the army into Ziwu Valley. At that time, Wei Yan believed that the key point in Guanzhong was Chang'an. As long as Chang'an was taken, it would be the end of everything.

But now, Wei Yan feels that returning to Kuncheng may not solve the problem. If he wants to completely solve the problem, he must find Gao Ding and Liu Fan as soon as possible and merge them with Xu Shu, so that he can defeat Jian Jian as quickly as possible. Ning's rebellion.

As for Yong Kai, Wei Yan simply left it to Cuan Xi and others to deal with. On the one hand, he really couldn't take care of it, and on the other hand, he also left Cuan Xi and others with a sense of sincerity and trust. added impression.

As for whether Cuan Xi and others will go back on their word, anyway, if it is only for Yong Kai, it is basically not a big problem. After all, the heads of these Yong Kai's cronies were chopped off by Cuan Xi and others, and Yong Kai's property in Wei County is If Cuan Xi and others can still share it with Yong Kai, Wei Yan can only say one thing...

Of course, the relationship between Cuan Xi and Li Hui played a certain role. After all, when Yong Kai rebelled before, it was actually almost the same as Cuan Xi. Cuan Xi pretended to be old, fatuous, cowardly and incompetent, and swallowed his anger. Wasn't he just waiting for an opportunity to take revenge on Yong Kai?

Now that the opportunity has come, Cuan Xi naturally took advantage of it immediately. As for the future, Cuan Xi and others still feel that the dealer's cards of General Hussars are worth betting on!

At this point, the entire situation in southern Jianning has completely collapsed for Yongkai Gaoding and others without even realizing it!

Liu Fan and Gao Ding, at this moment, also had a headache over the tough nut called Liu Bei in front of them.

At the mouth of this unknown valley, Liu Bei chose a good place. It seemed that he was unwilling to move forward. If the two sides were to fight, it would be the trumpet of the valley. Liu Bei's soldiers could get stuck there. For Gao, For the coalition forces of Ding and Liu Fan, they were unable to exert their numerical advantage to suppress Liu Bei's troops.

Gao Ding and Liu Fan originally interrupted to lure Liu Bei's soldiers into the valley, and then sealed the mouth of the valley to catch turtles in an urn. However, they did not expect that Liu Bei, a thousand-year-old turtle spirit, instead placed the sharpest teeth at the mouth of the urn, causing Gao Ding to It’s not like reaching out to Liu Fan, it’s even worse not to reach out.

Liu Bei knew very well that his task was to find out the opponent's layout. Of course, any losses in such a task would be considered Liu Bei's own. Therefore, Liu Bei naturally became cautious. In dangerous terrain like the Nameless Valley, If you can't go in, naturally you won't go in.

Moreover, Xu Shu, who was behind, didn't know how far away he was. If he was ambushed, would he come to the rescue in time?

Therefore, Liu Bei refused to enter the Nameless Valley and waited for three days at the entrance of the valley. Every day he sent personnel to check and detect, and even almost touched the ambush circle of Liu Fan and Gaoding.

"I never expected..." Gao Ding gritted his teeth and said, "This person is so cautious!" If it is delayed, I don’t know what will happen! You and I should ask for change! 』

Liu Fan asked, "Brother Gao, what's his clever plan?" 』

Gao Ding said: "There is another road on this mountain. You can go along the cliff to the outside of the valley... If it is Liu Shijun..." Gao Ding glanced at Liu Fan and said nothing else.

The relationship between Hao Ding and Liu Fan is also very subtle. Although they are collaborators, they are not that close. There are also disputes between them, but the overall goals are generally similar, so it is difficult to say what the specifics are.

Liu Fan saw Gao Ding's face and pondered for a moment, guessing what Gao Ding was thinking. Walking around the mountain and along the stone wall, basically only Gaoding's subordinates and relatively elite Yi people can do it, and there can't be many people going. Liu Fan must cooperate well here. Okay, under Liu Fan's full attack, Gaoding can cause greater damage in Liu Bei's back ditch, and can also remove Liu Bei who is stuck at the mouth of the nameless valley! If the little one hurts, are you afraid that you won't be able to attract the big one? !

"I would like to swear an oath in the name of my father!" Liu Fan said seriously, "I will definitely obey Brother Gao's instructions and defeat this beast!" "Liu Bei is also an envoy, and Liu Fan is also an envoy. The two scumbags naturally have to distinguish between one who is really a scumbag and who is occupying the latrine and not shitting."

It is not impossible that people in the Han Dynasty used oaths as food, but most people still recognized the oaths, and oaths guaranteed by the reputation of the family and elders were more binding and could not be said casually. It would be fine, so when Liu Fan said this, Gao Ding breathed a sigh of relief.

"The mountain road is difficult..." Gao Ding nodded, pointed to the mountain opposite, and said to Liu Fan, "If I set out today, I can probably get there at noon tomorrow..."

In fact, this straight-line distance is really not that far, but walking around the mountain naturally increases the distance a lot, and you have to climb the mountain wall. If you are not careful, you will fall into the mountain stream. If the Yi people are not used to it in the mountains and forests for a long time. , it must be difficult for ordinary people to do it.

"Tomorrow morning we will organize an attack!" "Liu Fan heard the elegant meaning of Xiange and immediately took over and said, "Attack from morning to night, it will definitely make this beast tired to cope with it! Brother Gao can quickly rush behind it, and with internal and external attacks, he can break it! 』
