412. The intention of the clerk
Although Zhu Wei had sent messengers to Xinye's Wen Ping and Wancheng's Zhang Xiu before, hoping that they could send someone to contact him about the surrender.
But Wenpin and Zhang Xiu only agreed verbally, but in fact they didn't make any further moves, or they both proposed to Zhu Wei's side to divide Xinye and Wancheng on the side of Nanyang County and garrison troops to protect Nanyang for Zhu Wei.
In fact, they just wanted to be attached as vassals, rather than completely surrendering to Zhu Wei's hands.
Of course, Zhu Wei couldn't agree to such a way of annexation, so at first, he didn't hurry or hesitate to temporarily discuss some official articles with Zhang Xiu and Wen Ping, just to concentrate on solving them after the affairs of Cai Mao and Xiangyang City in Jiangling were settled.
However, before that, Zhu Wei also ordered Mu Lan and Teng Yuyan to send rangers as scouts to monitor the military situation in Nanyang County at any time, so that Zhu Wei would not know when Cao Cao sent troops to Nanyang County.
Now that Zhu Wei has finished the affairs of Jiangling and Xiangyang City, he finally took Pang Yan's Xionglu battalion of more than 20,000 troops, and nearly 30,000 troops after the expansion of his own military camp, and marched in the direction of Xinye first.
At this time, Wen Ping in Xinye was still suppressed in Xinye City by the light cavalry of Mu Lan and Teng Yuyan, but he didn't know the situation outside, so after Zhu Wei's army approached Xinye County, Wen Ping suddenly found that Zhu Wei's army was pressing.
The more than 50,000 troops brought by Zhu Wei from Xiangyang, plus the more than 9,000 light cavalry of Mu Lan and Teng Yuyan, inevitably formed a large sea of people outside Xinye County, which was not very large.
Then Zhu Wei sent the Yi nationality to Xinye County, and sent a letter to Wen Ping and Han Song to persuade them to surrender again, hoping that the Yi nationality could persuade them to go out of the city to surrender, Zhu Wei said that he valued Wen Ping and Han Song very much, and if the two of them sincerely surrendered, they would naturally give them a heavy responsibility.
Of course, according to the previous correspondence between Zhu Wei and Wen Ping and Han Song, Wen Ping was actually nominally subdued, just thinking that he could separate the garrison of Xinye County, but Zhu Wei now expressed his attitude that he would not allow such a surrender.
At the same time, this so-called surrender on the surface is really difficult to determine the true intention of Wenpin.
In the original history, after Liu Biao's death, Liu Cong surrendered to Cao Cao, and as a result, Wen Ping, as the general of the Liu family, naturally changed the court and became the general of the Cao family, but Wen Ping initially did not go to see Cao Cao, until Cao Cao asked Wen Ping to call Wen Ping, Wen Ping went to see Cao Cao.
Cao Cao naturally asked why Wen Ping refused to come to see him, whether he was unwilling to surrender to him.
And Wen Ping was crying bitterly at the time, saying that as the general of Liu Biao in Jingzhou, he was supposed to protect the soil for Liu Cong and protect the family business, but now because Liu Cong took the initiative to surrender, Wen Ping was ashamed of Liu Biao's Tuogu thoughts, but he couldn't do anything to Cao Cao, who occupied Jingzhou, and he felt a little helpless loss in his heart, like clenching his fists, but he didn't know who he could fight, and he really didn't know how to deal with himself in his heart.
As a result, Cao Cao sighed at Wenpin's loyalty, entertained Wenpin with generous gifts, and granted Wenpin the right to soldier, and then let Wenpin help protect Jiangxia for decades.
It can be seen that Wen Ping is actually very loyal to Liu Biao, so Zhu Wei does have some feelings that it is not easy for him to make Wen Ping sincerely surrender now.
This Wenpin is regarded as a general personally selected by Liu Biao after he arrived in Jingzhou, and it can be regarded as the only general promoted by Liu Biao in Jingzhou, so Wenpin should indeed be loyal to Liu Biao.
The current situation is not that Liu Cong surrendered with Wenpin, but that Zhu Wei forcibly attacked Xiangyang, let Wenpin kill the old master, and then coerced Wenpin to surrender, which made Wenpin change his mind and surrender, Zhu Wei was really not sure.
Previously, although Wen Ping was nominally willing to surrender, it may also be a delaying tactic, in order to find a chance for Liu Biao to take revenge.
Of course, whether Wen Ping wants to avenge Liu Biao in his heart, Zhu Wei is not sure, unless he sees his loyalty, he can be sure, anyway, now Wen Ping should know that Zhu Wei will never give him the opportunity to divide Xinye, so the path he can choose now can only be to carry it to the end, or go out of the city and surrender.
And Zhu Wei let Yi enter Xinye City to persuade Wen Ping and Han Song, on the one hand, Yi nationality is the same as Wen Ping and Han Song, originally belonged to Liu Biao's faction against the Jingzhou Shi class, so that Yi came forward to persuade Wen Ping and Han Song to surrender, it can be regarded as some private relationship, on the other hand, Yi nationality is eloquent, he often comes forward to negotiate for Liu Biao or something, and now he is also playing to his strengths.
At this time, Zhu Wei still hopes that the Iraqi nationality can be said to move Wenpin, if Wenpin is really stubborn to the end, Zhu Wei can only regretfully kill this general, who can be regarded as a famous general in history.
In this way, about half an hour after the Yi entered Xinye City, Xinye City finally opened the city gate, and then Yi Yi walked out with Han Song and came to Zhu Wei's Chinese army formation.
Zhu Wei sat on the command platform built with several carriages, at this time Zhu Wei didn't know who the person brought by Yi Ji, but when he saw Yi Ji coming with a Confucian man who seemed to be nearly forty years old, he got up and saluted the two of them, "There is Mr. Lao Jibo, I don't know who this gentleman is?" What are the intentions of General Moon and Mr. Han? ”
"Lord, this is Han Song, Han Degao, the lord's heart, I have already told you that Zhongye promised to go out of the city to surrender, but you just need Degao to come and discuss specific matters with the lord!"
At this moment, Yi can be regarded as officially Zhu Wei as the main father, so he has also changed to Zhu Wei as the main father, and now it seems that his persuasion this time is still very effective, and Wen Ping really agreed to surrender.
As for Han Song who is coming now, compared to a general like Wen Ping, Zhu Wei doesn't care too much, Han Song is also an ordinary internal affairs military division-level figure, maybe he is also the talent of a county guard.
However, at this time, Zhu Wei naturally did not express his contempt for Han Song, so Zhu Wei saluted Han Song again, "It turned out to be Mr. Degao, I have heard of the name for a long time, I don't know what else Mr. and General Wen need to discuss?" ”
Han Song was also seeing Zhu Wei for the first time, so at this moment, he couldn't help but look at Zhu Wei over there, seeing Zhu Wei's posture, his first impression was still good, "This ......, Zhongye wants to ask, how is Qian Tanghou going to deal with Liu Muzhou's future?" Listening to Ji Boyan, Liu Muzhou died by suicide, and now the body is temporarily confined in Xiangyang, it is because of the Nanyang incident that it has been delayed until now and has not been buried! ”
"Well, although Liu Biao is rebellious, he is a member of the Han family after all, and Wei Zi should be buried thickly, and he will never lose the face of the Han family! Please also rest assured that General Wen and Mr. Degao! ”
Since it is just for Liu Biao's future, Zhu Wei naturally will not be embarrassed, anyway, it is just to spend some money to bury it, which can be regarded as showing Zhu Wei's generosity to the world.
"Thank you so much for your generosity! So, what will Qian Tanghou do with the soldiers of Xinye, and can he let Zhongye become a rural farmer......
When Han Song heard Zhu Wei's statement, he naturally saluted Zhu Wei with satisfaction, but soon said something that surprised Zhu Wei...... [.]
