In the seventh and eighth months of the seventh year of Jian'an, Wei Shi joined forces with Liao Hua and Hou Yin to train men and horses, and at the same time sent Wei Yan letters to communicate with each other.

Bowang Slope is finished.

According to the conditions originally agreed upon, Wei Yan should also come to Wei Shi.

But for some reason, General Zuo's Mansion delayed Wei Yan's release on the pretext that there were still unfinished handover matters in the army.

"Master Lou, please prepare a few more letters for me according to this format. If General Zuo doesn't let me go, I will go to General Xu, Guan Junhou, and General Zhang to have a good talk."

Wei Shi delayed the arrival, and Wei Shi was worried because he was missing a vanguard general.

Liao Hua and Hou Yin can be generals, but in Wei Shi's heart, the general who can really stand alone is Wei Yan, a brother of the same clan and clan.

Liu Bei has a good reputation.

If Wei Yan could not come yet, Wei Shi planned to target Liu Bei's weakness and publicize Wei Yan's affairs to Liu Bei's subordinates such as Xu Shu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, etc.

In Xinye City.

The emperor's uncle Liu Bei has returned from Fangcheng, Cao Cao has returned from the north of the Yellow River where he attacked the two Yuans, Xiahou Dun in Ye County has increased his troops, and this time the Northern Expedition has returned without success.

Repeated battles and repeated defeats, repeated defeats and repeated battles.

Liu Bei's will has long been as solid as a rock and cannot be shaken.

"Zizhong, Wei Shi was appointed by the imperial court as the governor of Fangling. If he can gain a firm foothold, he can be considered a helper."

After Liu Bei bathed in clothes, he received Wei Shi's letter from Zhonglang Mi Zhu. After reading it, he couldn't help but frowned.

Wei Shi was in his hometown, but Liu Bei had not yet had a chance to meet him.

At this moment, Liu Bei suddenly heard that Wei Shi had become the governor of Fangling, and Liu Bei felt quite disappointed.

He originally thought that after the Battle of Bowangpo was over, he would find an opportunity to meet Wei Shi and see if he could get it into his account.

Pity.

Since Wei Shi was the prefect, he had the status of being equal to Liu Bei. He could no longer treat him the same as before.

"The Analects of Confucius says: When making friends, you must keep your word. Even if you say you have not learned it, I will definitely call it learning. I have already agreed to the matter of Wei Wenchang going to the Wei Prefecture Army, so why haven't I set off yet?"

The implicit accusations in Wei Shi's letter made Liu Bei, who always prided himself on trust and promise, blush and turn pale for a while.

Mi Zhu smiled helplessly and said: "My lord, Liu Zhubo recounted his achievements after the war and found that Wen Chang had made great contributions by killing several enemy generals. It is a pity to let such a man go."

Liu Bei was startled, patted his loose thighs, and sighed: "Liu Weishuo's short-sightedness misled me, and a Weiwen leader, what is nothing compared to Xinuo's reputation?"

"Zizhong, I will leave it to you to send the chief minister to the Wei prefect's army. I want the scholars in Jingzhou to see that I, Liu Xuande, am a man who keeps his promises. As long as I agree to something, I will do it."

I will never regret it.”

After Liu Bei finished speaking, he straightened his back and stood up, walking towards Mrs. Gan's inner room.

Wei Yan was very brave in front of the two armies. For this reason, it would be a pity to let him go.

But compared to the reputation he earned through this incident, Wei Yan was nothing but a mere warrior.

"Little sister, it was my brother who harmed you!" Mi Zhu felt bitter in her heart as she watched Liu Bei walking towards Mrs. Gan's dormitory.

When Liu Bei returned from Fangcheng's army, the first woman he looked for was not his wife Mi Zhen, but his concubine Ganmei.

What does this mean?

In Liu Bei's mind, Mi Zhen's status was no longer as high as Ganmei's.

When Ganmei becomes pregnant and gives birth to a son, what's the use of Mi Zhenkong having the title of head wife?

——

Xudu.

Hua Xin, who held the title of famous scholar, went to Junshan as an envoy, but accidentally fell into the trap of Wei Shi's deception and failed to bring back Han Hao.

After returning, Hua Xin did not dare to say that he had been deceived by Wei Shi. He made up an excuse that Han Hao had found a group of Han family members in Wei Shi's army and wanted to stay there to impart teachings.

This excuse is quite lame and sounds a bit mysterious.

But the key point is that upon verification, it really wasn’t made out of thin air.

Han Ping has served in Han Hao's army for five years. He and Han Hao are from the same clan. Many people know this. It makes sense for Han Hao to stay in Junshan in order to help Han Ping.

Han Hao cannot come back for the time being.

Cao Cao, who was suffering from migraine, heard the news and was furious.

"Come here, send me the army and capture Wei Shi, a common man from the village. I want him to take a good look at who is the master in this great Han world."

After Hua Xin left, Cao Cao saw that he was surrounded by only Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and other close advisers, and his anger could no longer be suppressed.

"Lord, calm down. Since Wei Shi has accepted the edict, it means that he has recognized the imperial court. Next, when he takes Fangling, we can continue to give him orders based on the righteousness of the imperial court, such as sending troops to attack Liu Bei."

"Jia also heard that this time Liu Bei was also robbed of Wei Yan, the brave general in the army, by Wei Shi. In order to cover up his unwillingness, Liu Bei publicized this matter in Xinye City. Liu Bei's reputation for benevolence and righteousness has spread in Jingzhou.

Already."

Guo Jia held the wine bottle in one hand, raised his neck and drank it all in one gulp.

Cao Cao was in a rage. When he heard Guo Jia's words, he was stunned for a moment and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Fengxiao, you think that I, Cao Mengde, am not as broad-minded as that big-eared thief, you are wrong."

"It's just Han Hao, so what does it matter? I, Mr. Cao, have countless elite soldiers and generals and wise men beside me. Haha, I never thought that Liu Da'er, who has always been shrewd, would also suffer a loss and be fooled."

"Come here, prepare wine and have a banquet. I want to drink with you. By the way, where are the singers who were captured when we attacked Yecheng last time? Ask them to come up and sing the song "The Peacock Flies Southeast"."

Cao Cao was in a good mood and his headache was mostly cured.

"Fengxiao, you still have a way, otherwise, if my lord doesn't kill a few people today, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive this fire." Cheng Yu sat next to Guo Jia and raised the wine bottle towards Guo Jia and said.

Guo Jia's eyes were half-closed, he shook the empty wine bottle, and said: "Zhongde, this is nothing. Just remember that if the lord is angry, you can tell Liu Bei what to do, and you will be sure to calm the lord down...

..”

The only heroes in the world are those who envoy you and Cao Er.

Back then, Cao Cao and Liu Bei were drinking wine and discussing heroes. Cao Cao blurted out this sentence, which was actually a true portrayal of his state of mind.

In Cao Cao's heart, although Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Tao Qian and others are stronger than Liu Bei, Liu Bei is the only hero recognized by Cao Cao.

——

Wei Shi, a little butterfly that traveled through time, occasionally flapped its wings and set off a moderate storm in the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Liu Xie had him in his heart.

Emperor uncle Liu Bei had him in his heart.

Great Sikong Cao Cao now also has Wei Shi in his heart.

In response, Wei Shi could only smile helplessly.

He was so busy right now that he had no time to pay attention to these big shots.

Fame can only be obtained immediately.

Liu Xie issued the edict easily, but in this era when the dignity of the imperial court was trampled into the mud, if Wei Shi wanted to truly sit in Fangling City, he had to rely on his own strength.

Recruit troops and buy horses, send troops to conquer.

It cannot be done in one day.

In recent days, Wei Shi has also inquired about many situations in Fangling County.

After the prefect Kuai Qi got the news that Wei Shi was coming to replace him, he was shocked and began to contact his old friends and ordered the wealthy families in Fangling and Shangyong to raise troops to defend the county.

In the area of ​​Shangyong and Xicheng, brothers Shen Dan and Shen Yi, a wealthy Han clan, heard the news of Wei Shi's invasion and immediately brought their elite soldiers to help in the battle.

A few years ago, the Shen brothers took advantage of the chaos in Guanzhong to recruit refugees. Now, the number of households under their control has reached 7,000 or 8,000, with a population of no less than 50,000.
