Chapter 45 Shi Tao returns to Han

Shi Tao and Shi Guangyuan returned to his mansion, packed up his luggage immediately, asked his family to prepare a vehicle, left Yecheng before the curfew, and rushed to the road overnight. The family was surprised. The wife asked, "Master, you live well, why do you have to leave? Can you really not be able to defend Yecheng?"

Shi Tao said: "Yes, Yecheng can't be defended anymore. It would be too late if we don't leave."

"Why?"

Shi Tao smiled bitterly: "Why? I'm also strange, but I seem to smell Kongming's smell in the air. If I don't leave, I'm afraid I'll be captured by him."

"Kong Ming," the lady was delighted, and then she was depressed, "Isn't he in Luoyang? Why did he appear here? Besides, you are good friends, how could he capture you."

"I am a good friend, so I have to find a way to capture it alive. However, I neither want to be his captive nor to die in battle like Guangyuan (i.e. Meng Jian and Meng Guangyuan). So I have to leave."

The lady said, "But, Master, are you sure this will happen?"

Shi Tao did not answer, he stood with his hands behind his back and sighed.

The lady didn't dare to ask again. The family got a package, but they simply didn't have many items. The family quickly packed up. The two sons rode horses. Shi Tao and his wife got into a small car, walked through the streets and alleys, and left Yecheng. The sound of cars was rippling, and the horse's hooves stalked, disappearing in the twilight.

A handsome boy with a very scholarly appearance stood in the shadow of the city gate and watched the car leave. It took a long time before he turned back to the city. Behind him, more than a dozen strong-shaped soldiers followed closely.

The young man returned to the Shangshu Mansion and bowed to Shangshu Ling Wei Ji: "Sir."

Wei Ji nodded and said, "Has he indeed left?"

"yes."

"No one was in contact with the middle of the way."

"No."

"It's better to leave, it's better to leave. In this way, it doesn't matter whether he sees it through it or not. This is the person who understands it. However, the Prime Minister is afraid that he will send someone to wait for him in front of him."

The young man smiled slightly: "This is naturally. If he leaves like this, he will be invited away. He is the prime minister's friend. In fact, I don't want to take any other measures against him in the city."

Wei Ji looked at the young man and smiled and said, "The Lan Shi Di family's magic sword is unparalleled in the world, of course there will be no problem. Lan Shi. You are from Chang'an this time, and I, Guan, are in Ji Han. What's going on now?"

The young man laughed and said, "Sir, Brother Bo Yu is smart and wise. Your Majesty regards his parents as a parent and child and teaches him personally. When the villain came, Your Majesty orthodox General of Bo Yu's brother, General Wei, swept the north. At that time, General Sima swept thousands of miles away. The Huns were beaten and howled and ran away with their heads in their arms. When we later read this, we often sighed and wished that we had been born three hundred years earlier. Even if we were a small soldier in front of General Sima, we would make achievements for the Han Dynasty and not live in vain."

The young man mentioned that the Grand Sima General refers to Wei Qing, a general during the reign of Emperor Wu. When the Huns endangered the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu ordered Wei Qing to lead his army to fight north and defeat the Huns, breaking the situation of Huns' strong and weak Han, laying the foundation for the later division of Huns and the surrender of the Southern Xiongnu. The Wei clan in Hedong also flourished and developed to this day because of Wei Qing's existence. The young man didn't speak much, but it represented several meanings. First, Wei Qing was a minister of the Han Dynasty, and Wei Ji was his descendant. Of course, he should be a minister of the Han Dynasty and serve Ji Han; second, His Majesty Ji valued the Wei clan and Wei Ji's son Wei Guan, and Wei Ji should also repay his favor for his son; third, Wei Ji's son, and even the entire Wei clan are currently in Ji Han, so Wei Ji must cooperate with him.

Wei Ji was a smart man, how could he not hear it? But he was extremely cunning and laughed at the threatening words as if he had not heard them, saying, "Lan Shi, your ancestors killed Loulan with one sword and made great contributions to the outside world. They are also loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty. Today, you and I will return to Ji Han together, so naturally they will live up to your great kindness. How can we not do our best to do our best to what the Prime Minister has entrusted?"

The young man smiled and said, "How dare Fu Xia compare his meager skills to the emperor. I am ashamed." This young man was Ji Han, Fu Xia, Fu Lanshi, a native of the north. He became famous and both civil and military. He was one of the few outstanding people in the younger generation. He once fought against the assassin Guo Xiu in Chang'an, but both suffered losses. Unexpectedly, he made great contributions to Ji Han's capture of Sima Zhao. Later, he was sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion and served as a subordinate next to Kong Ming, which was highly valued by Kong Ming. This time he was sent to Yecheng to assist Wei Ji and jointly deal with the affairs of Yecheng.

Wei Ji was a member of the Wei family in Hedong. The Wei family always regarded himself as the loyal and wise man after Wei Qing. Wei Ji became famous at a young age and surrendered to Cao Cao, and believed that Cao Cao could pacify the world and revive the Han Dynasty. However, he worked hard for half a lifetime. Until Cao Cao died, the Han Dynasty did not revive. Instead, Cao Pi pushed Emperor Xian away and became the emperor himself. His form was stronger than others. Although Wei Ji claimed to be loyal and kind, he was a Han minister, he was not stupid enough to assassinate or commit suicide. He just did his own thing honestly, hard work and hard work. He was both capable, good at calligraphy, and high talent. No matter how prestige, he was a temporary choice, and his official position gradually rose and rose until he was promoted to Shangshu Pushe. Since Ji Han conquered

Chang'an, pacified Yongliang, defeated Cao Pi in Weinan, and set the capital in the old capital. Wei Ji sensitively discovered that the world was about to change. Ji Han had become a force to strengthen Qin and merge with the six countries at this time. So he asked the Hedong Wei Jiao to contact Ji Han quietly. However, the Wei Jiao was sensitive to political affairs, and this great family had their own way of survival. He has always used two boats to build one more way. Before defining the direction of the clear wind, Wei Ji and the Wei Jiao drew a clear line more than ten years ago. Although they were still the same in secret, on the surface, everyone knew that although Wei Ji came from the self-defense valve, it was different from the Wei Jiao's main water and fire. Therefore, although Hedong later fell and the Wei Jiao turned to Ji Han, no one suspected that Wei Ji had any connection with Ji Han.

However, Zhuge Kongming did not separate the Wei family and Wei Ji. He had already made great efforts to develop a large number of detailed works in the Cao Wei Kingdom, and bribed many old ministers who were interested in the Han Dynasty, and Wei Ji was the most important goal. Finally, after the Battle of Hedong, Wei Ji faced the loyal ministers and righteousness, the entire Hedong Wei family and his son who stayed in his hometown in Hedong, and the six-year-old Xiao Wei Guan, finally decided to surrender to Ji Han and sell another effort to revive the Han Dynasty. Since then, Ji Han is well aware of the situation in the Cao Wei Kingdom. Therefore, during the Battle of Northern Frontier, Ji Han believed that Sima Yi had been dismissed, so it would be impossible to hide it. Because all the edicts of Cao Wei came from the beautiful calligraphy of Wei Ji, and he could not hide it. As a result, Cao Pi and Sima Yi played a drama together.

At this time, Fu Xia and Wei Ji were in Yecheng together, and jointly studied how to get Yecheng skillfully and with the smallest casualties and achieve the greatest victory. Fu Xia smiled and took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Wei Ji: "The Prime Minister's secret plan, please watch it."

Wei Ji received it in his hand, but he was stunned as if he was reading a heavenly book. Fu Xia smiled and said, "This is a secret letter. It seems that others can't read it. I'll interpret it for you..."

Wei Ji listened to the words, and suddenly slapped his legs and sighed: "Prime Minister, he is a real god!"

.............

Deng Ai, Ma Dai and Pang Hui strongly blocked Qin Lang's charge, Li Mao, Guan Feng and Yu Zhuo chased each other, forcing the new fifth camp. The guerrilla camp of the Cavalry Camp was like a trapped tiger. It roared and undulated, but finally could not escape. At this time, the military situation on the front line of Yecheng changed again, and Zhang Fei once again launched an attack on Cao Zhen.

Because Sima Zhao offered his plan, the Wei army camps were all destroyed, and the advantage of the land was no longer there. In this case, the Han army launched attacks on Cao Wei. Cao Zhen was shocked three times a day on the front line. At present, Cao Zhen fully understood how painful it was to attack with less. It turned out that Cao Wei had many people and many soldiers, and they always fought three or one in wars. On the battlefield, they were always worried that the excess troops had no place to release, but this time it was miserable. Zhang Fei, Wei Yan, Pang De, and three large armies rushed towards him, Guan Ping, Kou Feng, Zhang Bao, Guan Xing, Sima Zhao, Xiang Chong, Zhang Feng, Zhang Tong, Huang Yong, Huang Suo, Li Yi, Li Qiu, Lu Xiang, Ma Xiu... Countless young generals of Ji Han surrounded the Wei army, and the attack was like a continuous tide.

Just when he was at a loss, the Secretary of Shangshu Ling Wei Ji from Yecheng gave him great support. In just fifteen days and earth, Wei Ji sent Cao Zhen an army of 80,000. At this speed, even Liu Jing, the supervisor of the military farm, was surprised. It was too fast. So the military farm area was completely paralyzed. But for Cao Zhen, if the front line was lost, what's the use of military farming?

At this time, the younger generation of Cao Wei, the general of the Hu Ben, the son-in-law of the Princess Anyang, Xun Yun (son of Xun Yu), the princess Wenxue, and Guo Yi (son of Guo Jia) of Yangting, were dead. Wei Ji, but asked the army to lead the army, and added the attendant of the Sanqi cavalry, and Wang Su (son of Wang Lang) to lead the troops, and took Xun Ji (the eldest son of Xun You, Youfeng, Jinghou), Jia Mu, (the eldest son of Jia Xu, the eldest son of the son-in-law Duwei, Wei Shouxiang Hou), Zhang Xiong (Zhang Hezi, the Marquis of Zheng), and Li Zhen (Li Dianzi, the Marquis of Duting Hou) to support the front line. Almost all outstanding people in Yecheng were captured in one go. Then he demanded the power of Jizhou to support Cao Zhen in this battle, and all the food and weapons in the whole province were transferred to Yecheng to support Cao Zhen.

In order to do a good job of ensuring the work, Wei Ji worked hard to run it. For more than half a month, he spent more than half a month in a hurry, and lost more than ten pounds. When Cao Zhen heard this, he sighed and wrote a letter to Wei Ji: "Brother is dedicated to the country and support the building alone, he is really a noble man." He also sent a letter to all places in Jizhou, but Wei Ji ordered that it was equivalent to the same place as the Shangshu and the General's Mansion, and he should be respected in all places. It is said that after seeing this letter, Wei Ji was stunned for a long time before saying, "The general's demeanor is truly unparalleled in the world."

With the full support of Wei Jidi, Cao Zhen quickly stood on par with Ji Han in military strength. Then he won several consecutive victories with the advantage of home field, which caused Zhang Fei to suffer a small loss, and sweep away the shadow of repeated defeats in the past few days. Cao Zhen could not help but double his confidence. In this case, as long as he continued to work hard to support, Ji Han would definitely return in vain. At that time, not only could the lost city land be recovered, but he could also take the opportunity to severely damage Ji Han. In the current battle between Qin and Zhao, Qin is strong and Zhao is weak, and did not defeat the powerful Qin repeatedly with a drag-on decision? Zhang Yide, a brave man, did not know the beauty of this battleground without fighting?

However, Cao Zhen was a little dissatisfied with the new Fifth Battalion. He had been unable to break through the defense line of Ma Dai and his men to provide support for this. If his subordinates had cavalry troops at this time, they were afraid that they would decide the outcome of the battle with just one blow.

Shi Tao looked at the Yellow River: "After crossing the river, we will go to Qingzhou to find Yuanzhi. If you don't have it, just build a house and live in seclusion with him."

The two sons shouted: "Boatman, boatman."

A small boat floated over: "Celebrity, do you want to cross the river?"

Shi Tao's family brought their luggage onto the boat and sat in the cabin. The boat floated and headed towards the south bank. After a while, a young man walked into the cabin: "Callant, where are you looking at us?"

Shi Tao was stunned.

Shi Tao's eldest son shouted: "Of course I'm going to the south bank, why are you asking?"

The man smiled and looked at Shi Tao.

Shi Tao asked, "Did Kongming send you here?"

The man didn't expect that he hadn't spoken yet, and Shi Tao actually guessed his identity. He was also shocked, stopped his smile, bowed and bowed: "Ji Han knew that the king of the king had never seen him."

"Wang Nan, is the one who ranked ninth in the Ji Hanjianju Reform Examination and made great contributions in the Battle of Dingmobei after Qianfu Wang Fu, and who ranked 9th in the Ji Han Dynasty's restructuring exam?"

Wang Nan expected that Shi Tao would know this unknown act, and he was even more respectful: "The boy's reputation is a shameful one, and he is praised by the great man, and is honored by Huagu."

Shi Tao closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Wang Nan dared not speak, and bent and waited there. Shi Tao's wife and two sons were surprised and wandering there. After a long time, Shi Tao said slowly: "That day, your prime minister was in Jingzhou, and he was studying with me and Xu Yuanzhi, Cui Zhouping, and Meng Gongwei. All four of me must be familiar with studying, and only your prime minister should look at his strategy. Whenever morning and night, we hug our knees and whistle to discuss the world." Shi Tao had a smile on his face, as if he recalled the past. "Kong Ming said to me: 'Zhouping is a casual cloud and wild crane, and he doesn't like to enter the officialdom. You and the three of you can get the position of the governor and the county magistrate.' I and Yuanzhi were not convinced, so I asked Kong Ming where he could reach it. He only smiled but didn't say anything. Well, now, I should go and see his achievements."

Wang Nan was overjoyed and waved out of the cabin: "Send a signal, protect our ship, and the whole army heads west!"

The oars were loud, and dozens of ships appeared in battle from all directions. The ships were several meters high and dozens of meters long, and the largest one was even more like a giant. Even though Shi Tao was knowledgeable, he rarely saw such a big ship. His two sons couldn't help but sigh: "What a big ship!"

Wang Nan smiled: "It was these ships that sent Cao Zijian across the sea to Liaodong. But this is not the largest one. My largest tower ship in Ji Han can accommodate more than 2,000 people."

Shi Tao nodded: "Cao Zijian's escape was indeed Ji Han's hand."
