At the end of October in Mengdong, Chenliu County, Dangjun County (Chenliu Town, Kaifeng, Henan), Gaoyangli.

In the dimly lit house, an old man in his sixties, half-bald hair was boiling wine, under the copper kettle was burning firewood, the wine in the kettle was slowly heating up, and the aroma of wine in the room was overflowing, the old man couldn't help but snort while wiping his saliva with his index finger, ready to drink it......

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and a forty-year-old chivalrous warrior hurriedly walked into the room with a cold wind, and happily said to the old man who was cooking wine in the house:

"Brother, I have something to tell you!"

Li Shiqi, who called himself a "Gaoyang drunkard", didn't take it seriously, and beckoned his younger brother Li Shang and said: "Ah Shang, you came just in time, this wine is hot, come and drink to relieve the cold." ”

"When is it, still drink!"

Li Shang snatched Li Shiqi's wine and said: "Brother is addicted to wine and meat all day long, don't you know that the world is in chaos?" ”

"Of course I do."

Li Shiqi shook his head, scratched his oily head that had not been washed for several days, and said: "The old man doesn't have to go out, but he can know the things of the world, not to mention the changes in the distant Nanjun, in recent months, isn't it that the so-called Northern Expeditionary Army has gone around Yingchuan, so that Wang Ben has to withdraw his troops, and the title of Chu has been taken from Huaiyang...... Between Huaiyang and my Gaoyangli, there is a Yangxia County, Ah Shang, I know, you have wanted to join the Chu army for a long time. ”

He lowered his face and said, "But I said no, I just can't!" ”

Li Shang is a light man of Wei Di, who has been restrained by Qin Law for so many years, and has long been impatient, and the world has been in turmoil recently, especially in the eastern part of the country, in addition to the "Southern Rebels" and "Chu Di Bandits" approaching from time to time, there are many small thieves who take advantage of the fire to rob. In the past ten years, the order of law and order under the high-pressure policy has disappeared, the government has no time to protect itself, and the clan forces in various places can only gather people to defend themselves.

Relying on his former prestige and brave and ruthless character, Li Shang became the leader of the young people in his hometown, gathering hundreds of people and making his own blades and armor to ensure the safety of the village.

However, under the persuasion of Li Shiqi, Li Shang did not openly rebel, so Chen Liuxian Ling also turned a blind eye and allowed Li Shang and others to divide in the east of the county.

This Li Shang has some ambitions, and he is not willing to be a hero of a township for a long time, and he is very tempted by the Chu army that killed all sides in the Central Plains, and he once wanted to send people to take refuge and lead the Chu soldiers into Chenliu.

But Li Shiqi stopped him.

"The Chu people attach great importance to the geographical origin, and after I go, I will never be reused, but will only be excluded by the Chu generals."

Li Shang was initially unconvinced, until last month, Xiang Ji stormed Suiyang, the capital of Dang County (Shangqiu, Henan), and Dangjun Shou and Wei could not hold out, so Xiang Ji ordered his subordinates to continue to besiege the city, and he attacked Xiangyi (Sui County, Henan) in the west.

However, the name of the Xiang major general in Chu is invincible, but it is not very effective in Wei, Xiangyi can not hold on, Xiang Ji took half a month to capture, and the loss is not small, he was angry, ordered the army to slaughter the city, and the people of the city who assisted the Qin officials to defend the city were all killed!

Thousands of people, just like this, became the sword ghosts of the Chu army, this incident shocked many Wei people who were watching, and even Li Shang retracted his steps to go to the service, obediently listened to the old brother's opinion, and observed for a while.

But a news recently learned made Li Shang excited again.

"This time it's different."

He said to Li Shiqi: "Zhang Er is back!" “

"Oh?"

Li Shiqi raised his cloudy eyes that had drunk too much: "It's the famous hero of the Central Plains back then, and the outer yellow makes Zhang Er?" ”

"That's right, it's him."

Li Shang said: "I heard that Zhang Er has been hiding in Huaiyang all these years, and he got the support of the Chu State and led his troops north from Xiangyi, passing through Waihuang (Minquan County, Henan) and Linji (Fengqiu, Henan)!" ”

Linji is also a big city in the Central Plains, and at present, the Dangjun soldiers are fighting with Xiang Ji in Suiyang, and Zhang Er has captured the city without much effort, relying on 2,000 people under Wuchen.

"People outside are spreading that Zhang Er found the prince of Ningling Jun in Linji and established him as the king of Wei, and now Zhang Er has been named Waihuang Jun and Wei Xiang, and Wuchen is a general, and he is attacking the city and wants to revive the Wei country!"

Speaking of the matter of Feng Jun as a general, Li Shang's eyes flashed, and the implication was: Zhang Er is a fellow Wei person, and he has restored the Wei State, so I can vote for him now, right? If you don't go, it's too late.

But Li Shiqi shook his head: "I'm not optimistic that this is the so-called New Wei State. ”

Li Shang was a little unhappy: "Aren't we also Wei people?" ”

Li Shiqi smiled: "Do you know Weiguo? ”

"The land of Wei Guo is now Dongjun, during the period of Wei Zhaogong, the Three Jin Dynasty was strong, and Wei Ru Xiaohou became a subsidiary of Wei State. In the period of the heir, Wei repeatedly ceded land to Wei, leaving only Puyang, and Wei Hou was demoted to the rank of king. In the thirty-first year of Huaijun, Wei imprisoned and killed Huaijun, and Wei set up his heir to the younger brother, which was for Yuanjun, and Yuanjun was Wei's son-in-law, so Wei Lizhi. ”

"The current Wei and Chu are like the Wei and Wei in the past. In my opinion, the Wei of Linji is just a puppet of the Chu people, who wants to gather the heroes of Wei under a banner so that they can be used by the Chu State. The military power of Wei is in the hands of the Chu people's military ministers, Xiang Ji slaughtered Xiangyi, does Wei dare to let out a fart? Afterwards, if Chu Guo forcibly occupied the Song land, would Zhang Er dare to refuse? ”

"Ah Shang, brother Wei doesn't want you to be stupid to fill in the ditch for others!"

Li Shiqi analyzed the benefits and disadvantages, but Li Shang was anxious: "This can't do this, that doesn't work, can we continue to spend in Gaoyang?" ”

Li Shiqi said earnestly: "In this troubled world, instead of hurriedly raising troops to stand in line, it is better to watch for a while, in the past few months, I have also observed the people who have risen up in the world, but they are all general, and they are good at being polite and polite for their own use, and they can't listen to generous words......

Li Shang was surprised that his brother's vision was so high: "Zhang Er, Xiang Ji is the same?" ”

Li Shi stared at the boiling wine in the kettle, as if the heroes of the world were among them: "Zhang Er is in vain, not a hero, although Xiang Ji is strong, but because of the anger of the army, the slaughter of Xiangyi, it is difficult to conquer the Wei land, even if he is invincible, he is only a fierce general, and he is not a big deal." ”

Li Shangle was happy: "If these two people can't get into your eyes, then brother thinks, in this world, who can achieve great things?" ”

Li Shiqi snatched the wine back, took a sip, closed his eyes and tasted: "The Marquis of Wuzhong in the south, although he holds high the banner of righteousness, he actually acts shamelessly, and has been planning for many years, but he has an appetite for the old man, like a person who does great things!" ”

……

Zhang Er, who is "not a hero" in Lishiqi's mouth, is now in Humu Township, mourning his deceased wife Huang who died here more than ten years ago......

Although he had already changed his name and married another wife, Zhang Er was still sad when he came here and recalled the past.

"I used to be a guest of Xinling Jun, but after the death of my son, I had nothing to do, I was poor, and I killed people in Daliang, so I could only leave my nationality and go to Waihuang County to hide."

"My wife Huang, the beauty of Wai Huang, but she doesn't dislike me for being poor and cheap, she is committed to me, and she uses the wealth of his wife to exonerate me and help me become famous, Zhang Er can become a hero of Wai Huang, a famous man of Wei State, and a good wife!"

It's a pity that when the outer Huangcheng was broken, the Huang family took Zhang Er's first son Zhang Ao to take refuge in Zhang's Township, where he climbed over relatives, but was betrayed by the Zhang family to the thief Qin official Heifu, and finally the Huang family committed suicide, Zhang Ao was captured, and became a bait to lure Zhou Shi and Chen Yu.

The black man who killed that day used the blood of the warriors of Wei to dye his seal red, stepped on the corpses of the heroes of the Six Kingdoms, and embarked on the road to promotion!

More than ten years ago, revisiting the old place, Zhang Er still feels heartbroken, almost crying to death, his feelings for his deceased wife Huang are very sincere.

"Xiangbang, bring it to the Zhang family!"

Zhang Er's former friends Guan Gao and Zhao Wu took the newly recruited Wei soldiers from the Zhang family mansion and escorted them out, old and young, women and children!

Originally, this household Zhang clan was divided into two, occupying the east and west of Humu Township respectively, and the villagers called it Dongzhang and Xizhang.

Its Middle East Zhang is more powerful, his patriarch is named Zhang Bo, and his nephew is the famous Zhang Cang. Xizhang's power is slightly smaller, but it is not too bad, its patriarch is named Zhang Cheng, Zhang Cheng has a granddaughter, married to Chen Ping, a poor boy from the same township......

In the past ten years, because there are people in the court, Chen Ping has also risen day by day, and he has won the trust of Heifu, and the two are even more popular in the township, even if Zhang Bo and Zhang Cheng have died one after another, their children can still cover the sky with one hand.

It's just that Chen Ping was involved in Heifu's "rebellion" last year, and the government came to ask for his wife and son, but he was never found, and Xizhang was no better, Zhang Cang fled, and they were also implicated, so the property of the two families was confiscated, the patriarch was imprisoned, and the clan was scattered......

At present, the Zhang clan people caught by Zhang Ermenke are basically peripheral side branches, but Guan Gao, Zhao Wu, etc., still tried their best to instigate Zhang Er, and arrested and executed all the people related to East and West Erzhang in Hongxiang to avenge the death of his wife.

Unexpectedly, after Zhang Er wiped away his tears, he shook his head and sighed:

"It was the black thief who killed my wife, it was Zhang Bo, Zhang Ying, and Chen Ping, what does it have to do with these people?"

This was a big surprise, but even more unexpected was yet to come, Zhang Er not only released these Zhang clansmen, but also named a young man named "Zhang 黡 (yǎn)" and announced the appointment of him as the doctor of the Wei State......

"Zhang Gong, are you repaying your grievances with virtue?" On the way back to Linji, the straightforward Guan Gao was a little puzzled.

Zhao Wu, a strategist with a little wisdom, reacted: "Isn't Gong Zhang following the example of Duke Wen when he saw the matter of the vertical beard?" ”

Zhang Er stroked his beard and smiled: "Zhao Wu knows me!" ”

It turned out that in the Spring and Autumn Period, Jin Wengong returned to the country and killed many political enemies, for a time, the people in the country were worried, rumors were everywhere, and it was difficult to help for a while, Chong'er was worried about this matter, and suddenly a small official knocked on the palace to ask to see, it turned out to be Chong'er when he fled outside, and kept his property for him.

Speaking of this man, Chong'er was full of hatred, because he took all his possessions with him when he was in distress, causing Chong'er and his ministers to starve and almost die on the way to exile.

Such villains actually came to see him shamelessly, and Duke Wen of Jin refused to meet him at first, but Tousu said that there was a strategy to stabilize the Jin Kingdom.

The strategy is simple: "Whoever offends the monarch is greater than the beard!" ”

So Duke Wen of Jin suddenly came to his senses, announced that he would forgive Tousu, and made him a close minister of the emperor.

For a while, the Jin people rushed to tell each other, and they all thought: "The head must steal the king's treasure, and now he is still hired, what about others?" actually calmed down and dispelled the idea of rebellion, and the civil strife in the Jin Kingdom was completely subsided.

Zhang Er forgave the Zhang clan who had killed his wife, and he was following the plan of Duke Wen of Jin!

"There are many people in Wei who have received my favor, and there are many people who have made enemies with me."

As the former boss of the underworld, Zhang Er knows very well that although he has been ordered by Xiang Ji to support Wei as the king of Wei, and he has become the minister of Wei, there are many people who don't buy it, and there are many people who refuse to return to the past who have festivals with him.

At present, if the news of the Zhang family is forgiven, it will definitely be able to dispel the worries of the powerful and light heroes from all over the world, and let them come to vote enthusiastically.

The Zhang clan has dispersed, and those side branches and scattered sects, even if they are killed, it will be difficult to solve the hatred in Zhang Er's heart, so it is better to make full use of it.

All this is to strengthen the strength of the emerging Wei State!

Although he was said to be a "puppet of Chu" by Li Shiqi, Zhang Er was unwilling to be reconciled and only became a marionette.

He knows very well that if he wants to occupy a place in this troubled world and avenge his deceased wife, he relies on the territory he occupies and the soldiers in his hands.

The current "Wei State" is an empty shelf, except for the temporary capital Linji, there are only three counties of Waihuang, Yangwu, and Xiangyi, which were slaughtered, with less than 4,000 soldiers, and half of Tai are Chu soldiers under Wuchen.

Xiang Yu paused in Suiyang for a long time and urged Zhang Er to support, but Zhang Er knew that he couldn't go to the east, so he only fooled Wuchen to the past, and he himself looked around, looking for a way out of Wei.

"General Xiang stormed Suiyang, and even slaughtered Xiangyi in a rage, and the Chu soldiers plundered all the lands, so it seems that even if we desperately seize the Song land in the east, eighty percent of it is already in a mess, and it will be difficult to come back."

"And to the west of the chasm, the Qin army is still full of soldiers to guard the grain of Aocang, Wei Shang is small and weak, and he cannot be an enemy with it."

Zhang Er was even more worried, I heard that now that Wang Ben had retreated to Nanyang, if the Qin army suddenly marched eastward, wouldn't Wei become a shield for Chu?

It's never going to work!

After thinking about it, Jishui has arrived, and on the other side is Jiyang City, Dongjun, which is still under the control of Qin officials!

Dongjun is a large county in the East, Hanoi in the west, Qilu in the east, strong and solid, is the foundation of Hebei, and the people who carry Henan are also. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi and Jin tasted to compete here to defend the country. and the season of the Six Kingdoms, the Wei people rejected Zhao and resisted Qi.

In addition to Dingtao, Puyang and other big cities in Dongjun are extremely rich, Liyang and Baima by the big river are also the hubs of Zhao and Wei.

Because the great thief Peng Yue raised troops, seized Xue County, supported Tian Rong's son as the king of Qi, and harassed the border of Jibei and Dongjun to the north, so the soldiers of Dongjun were mostly concentrated in the east, but the west and south were vacant, which gave Zhang the headset meeting.

Zhang Er pointed to the other side and said: "If we want to expand the territory of Wei, we can only go north, occupy all the Eastern Counties, and then try to cooperate with the Zhao people to seize Hanoi!" ”

Speaking of this, he remembered something and asked Guan Gaodao: "Chen Yu and Chen Sheng crossed Ji to the north half a month ago, took Changyuan and Yan County (Changyuan County, Henan) for me, and went to Zhaodi, where are they now?" ”
