Guo Xiu rushed to Yewang and immediately rode up the hillside. When he saw the camp stretching for several miles, his mood fell to the bottom.
The military power of the Jin army is definitely not comparable to that of the dying Wei State. If nothing happens, Wei Hegemony will be ready to dominate the world, and it is just waiting to launch the final blow. It is not easy to turn the tide.
"It is absolutely impossible for Wei Ba not to die. Only by fighting hard can there be a glimmer of hope. Guo Xiaoxian, you must succeed." Guo Xiu sighed softly, muttered to himself, and kicked the horse's belly lightly.
, galloping towards the camp.
When they arrived at the camp gate to report, it didn't take long before someone took Guo Xiu to Yu Bin's tent. After waiting in front of Yu Bin's tent for another half an hour, Guo Xiu finally saw Yu Bin.
Yu Bin sat in the middle, and the young and heroic Wei Wu sat aside, burying his head in the papers, carefully flipping through a thick battle plan. Guo Xiu frowned, a little strange. He didn't know Wei Wu, but
It can be seen from Wei Wu's gorgeous and sophisticated armor that this unfamiliar young general is not low in rank. He should be second only to Wei Ba and at least not lower than Yu Si. However, he was sitting in the guest seat at Yu Si, and it seemed that
A bit of a reversal of superiority and inferiority. However, what attracted Guo Xiu more was the battle plan in Wei Wu's hand. With so much content, it naturally couldn't be a small battle. It might be a plan to siege Luoyang, or even a plan to unify the world.
battle plan.
Guo Xiu couldn't wait to snatch the plan and take a look.
"Xian Guo Xiao, you came so soon?" Yu Si smiled and stretched out his hand to signal Guo Xiu to take a seat: "If you had come two days later, we would have captured the entire Jizhou."
Guo Xiu protested: "I'm afraid Julu, Handan, and Yecheng are not so easy to attack."
"It depends on who is right." Yu Si smiled nonchalantly: "For us, it's just a matter of how much money we spend."
Guo Xiu was speechless. He admitted that Yu Si was right. The siege tactics had changed and the city wall no longer had an absolute advantage. As long as there were enough thunderbolt chariots and enough fire bombs, it was not impossible to quickly conquer the city. As for the defenders, it was not impossible.
If you want to defend the city, you can only use a large number of thunderbolt vehicles and fire bombs to counterattack.
Obviously, Wei Ba has an absolute advantage in this regard. Faced with this disparity in strength, no matter how many clever tricks he has, there is nothing he can do.
Guo Xiu feels powerless now. According to his character, he will be at loggerheads with Yu Si. The problem is, even if he gets the upper hand in the debate, it will be useless. If Yu Si is angered, he will probably not see Wei Wei.
Damn, it delayed a big event.
Guo Xiuqiang suppressed his anger and handed over new negotiation conditions.
Yu Si looked through it and asked: "County Marquis?" He frowned, looking a little unhappy.
Guo Xiu lamented, "It's really like a dragon wandering on the beach. A tiger has fallen into the sun. When the late emperor was here, he refused to be king. Now it's better. He can't even get a county prince."
Yu Si raised his eyelids and glanced at Guo Xiu: "To be honest, I think it is impossible for a county prince. However, being able to retreat from a prince to a marquis shows that you are still sincere. So, I will forward it to the king of Jin.
Look, maybe he'll be more lenient."
"I can't thank you enough." Guo Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Can I meet Prince Jin?"
"If King Jin is willing to accept your condition, you will naturally be able to see him."
"That's great." Guo Xiu laughed and tried his best to appear relaxed. "I brought some rare paints from the palace. The portraits I painted will last forever and never fade."
Yu Si nodded, turned around and asked people to lead Guo Xiu to rest. Early the next morning, Yu Si sent someone to tell him that the King of Jin wanted to see him.
Guo Xiu was surprised and happy. He packed his things and made preparations before following a soldier to Wei Ba's central tent.
Wei Ba was practicing boxing with Wei Wu. The two brothers were coming and going freely, just like dancing, which was pleasing to the eye. Even Guo Xiu couldn't help but praise him secretly when he saw it. Although Yun's hands were not very strong, they were very powerful.
It has grace and is very suitable for people of high status to practice. Guo Xiu has seen Xiahou Mao practice and Cao Hong practice, but they are not as impressive as Wei Ba.
"Your Majesty, your boxing skills are good." Guo Xiu praised him sincerely.
"Haha..." Wei Ba laughed and stopped: "Guo Jun came and went in a hurry, thank you for your hard work. However, if the Queen Mother Guo can understand the situation clearly, Guo Jun's hard work will be worth it. She is willing to join the country as a marquis, I think
It is very difficult. You and Yu Jijiu can discuss the specific conditions. If it is feasible, I will report it to the Chang'an court and ask for your majesty's edict."
Guo Xiu was a little disappointed. He waited all night, but he didn't expect that Wei Ba had no objection to being alone with him. He called him over early in the morning and just told him that he agreed to their request. Guo Xiu thought for a while and said again:
"King Xiukuan is very energetic. If you can take a picture here, I think future generations will be impressed by your brilliance. I wonder if you have some free time?"
Wei Ba raised his eyebrows and smacked his lips regretfully: "It's not too late to talk about the portrait later, let's talk about business first. Deng Ai's troops have already approached Julu, and I am about to go north. If you can't reach an agreement before I conquer Julu
, when Jizhou changes hands, I'm afraid the Marquis will also change."
Guo Xiu had no choice but to retreat.
…
Wei Ba did not lie to Guo Xiu. When Guo Xiu was negotiating with Yu Si, he ordered Wei Wu to lead 10,000 cavalry to the north. He followed closely and invaded Jizhou. The main force in Jizhou was led by Pei Hui.
Julu stood firm, and there were defenders in Yecheng and Handan, but the number was very limited. After Wei Wu led his army into Wei County, the Wei army did not dare to go out of the city to fight, so they could only close the city gates and defend.
In just half a month, only three big cities including Julu were left in Jizhou, and all the other cities were lost, almost without a single blow.
At this time, Chen Tai, who had been in Deng Ai's army, rushed to Wei Ba's camp and asked to see Wei Ba.
Wei Ba was very polite and went out to welcome Chen Tai in person. Chen Tai was inexplicably grateful and thanked him again and again, and then made his request.
"Your Majesty, Tai has taken the liberty to take a look at the evidence regarding Cao Fang's life experience with his own eyes."
Wei Ba smiled: "I know you came here in a hurry just to see me."
Chen Tai smiled awkwardly. He came from Deng Ai. Of course, Deng Ai would convey the relevant information to Wei Ba. Wei Ba said this, which meant he was just laughing.
Wei Ba immediately asked someone to take Chen Tai to find Yinfan. Yinfan had already prepared, spread out the relevant documents in front of Chen Tai, called a few more people, and then said to Chen Tai: "The witnesses and physical evidence are all here.
You can ask them one by one. If you have any questions, just ask me."
Half an hour later, Chen Tai left Yinfan's tent with a pale face and came to Wei Ba again. He stood in a daze for a long time and then said: "Your Majesty, can you leave a trace of blood for the ancestors of Cao Wei?
?”
Wei Ba smiled and said: "Even if Chen Jun doesn't say it, I will do it. Don't forget, the Cao family and the Xiahou family are inseparable from me. However, Chen Jun is loyal to his old master, knows right from wrong, and dares to speak out.
I still admire it."
Chen Tai sighed, lifted up the hem of his clothes, knelt down in front of Wei Ba, kowtowed three times solemnly, and said in a low voice: "Chen Tai of Yingchuan, I hope that the king will follow his lead and do the work of the dog and horse."
"With Uncle Xuan's help, the world can be settled." Wei Ba stood up, helped Chen Tai up, and asked him to take a seat. "Uncle Xuan, are you familiar with Pei Hui?"
Chen Tai understood what he meant, bowed and said: "Tai should step into the huge deer with his own body, and explain his right and wrong with his great righteousness. If the enemy is unwilling to surrender, then he will join forces with General Deng to conquer the huge deer."
"Very good!" Wei Ba was overjoyed, and immediately asked someone to bring a seal ribbon and place it in front of Chen Tai. Chen Tai took it and saw that it was the general of the Zhenjun Army. Although this was a general with no special title, he was Deng Ai's deputy general.
.As a demoted general, it is very rare for Wei Ba to give him such an official position all of a sudden. Usually, for a demoted general, he can be given a high position, but he will not be given real power. The position of deputy general is too important, and generally not
To the surrendered general who just surrendered.
"This..." Chen Tai hesitated.
"This is Deng Shizai's strong recommendation. I think it's very appropriate." Wei Ba smiled and pushed back the seal ribbon that Chen Tai pushed over. "As early as when we were in Nanyang, I hoped to work with you one day, and today I finally got my wish.
Come on. Uncle Xuan, don’t refuse. If anyone is dissatisfied, show your ability and prove it to them.”
Chen Tai was extremely grateful and bowed down to accept it.
…
After Chen Tai returned to Julu, he reported to Deng Ai. Deng Ai was also very surprised to see Chen Tai put on the Jin Dynasty's seal and ribbon. Even though Wei Feng was also in his army, Wei Ba still let him take the decision.
It was commendable that he also recommended Chen Tai, a degraded general, as his deputy general. In the eyes of ordinary people, this was a sign of not knowing how to advance or retreat. Deng Ai didn't have much hope in his recommendation. If Wei Ba refused, it would be normal, so he did not recommend it in advance.
I didn't tell Chen Tai because I didn't want Chen Tai to have too high expectations.
But Wei Ba agreed and put the credit on him, making Chen Tai grateful to him. Deng Ai was surprised and very grateful.
Chen Tai immediately discussed with Deng Ai and Liu Tao, and went to the city in person to persuade Pei Hui to surrender. They were all from aristocratic families and had a common language. Seeing that Chen Tai had surrendered, Pei Hui was already moved. He waited until Chen Tai had the emperor Cao Fangfei Cao's family.
Once the secret of the bloodline was revealed, Pei Hui no longer had any desire to resist.
Two days later, Pei Hui raised a huge deer and surrendered. Five days later, Yecheng and Handan received the news and also dedicated their cities one after another.
At this point, the entire Jizhou was included in the jurisdiction of Wei Ba. It was less than a month since Deng Ai entered Jizhou.
Wei Ba immediately appointed Pei Hui as the chief of marching and Liu Tao as the governor of Jizhou. Deng Ai, Chen Tai, Wei Feng and others led 50,000 infantry and cavalry, entered Bingzhou from Jingxing, and attacked Jinyang guarded by Sima Yi from north to south, preparing to
Recover the last state under Cao Wei's control.
At the same time, a letter of victory was sent to Chang'an. In addition to reporting the victory of the recapture of Jizhou, Wei Ba once again asked the emperor to issue an edict, ordering the Guanzhong Army to leave Tongguan and attack Luoyang, completing the final blow to pacify the world.
