Chapter 325: Lobbyist

Tianshui Taishou Wang Ji is indeed a little confused, this is only a few days of work, the whole Longyou Tianshu is changing, Wang Ji still does not understand where this Shu army came from, like a divine soldier descending from the sky, directly from the south of the airborne to Longxi.

But this is not the point, what Wang Qi doesn't understand, is why Longxi Taishou Qianhong surrendered without a fight and gave up Longxi County? Wang Ji and Zhan Hong have been officials in Yongzhou for some years, it can be said that they are very familiar with each other, Wang Ji is familiar with Zhao Hong is not the kind of timid and afraid of things, greedy for life and afraid of death, Zhan Hong is loyal and courageous, and his personality is as strong as fire, and he is the kind of person who can stick a knife in both sides for his friends. But it is such a bold and colorful lead, when the Shu army approached the city, he did not send a single arrow, and surrendered the city without a battle, which makes people feel incredible.

The rapid descent of Longxi made Wang Ji feel unprepared, and the speed of the Shu army's movements made Wang Ji almost have no time to react, Longxi and Tianshui were separated by Nan'an County, but the Shu army surrounded Nan'an County without fighting, and went straight to Tianshui.

With the same trick, the Shu army also surrounded Jicheng but did not fight, and the main force took Shangqi directly. Shangtai and Jicheng are the two important towns of Tianshui, and they are leaning on each other, and if they lose one of them, they will be alone. Wang Ji knew that the Shu army besieged Shangqi on a large scale, but it was powerless to save it, and now the Shu army besieging Jicheng has 5,000 people, more than 2,000 defenders of Jicheng, relying on the strong city walls, there may be a possibility of a war, once out of the city, it is simply to send to death, so Wang Qi can only watch Shangqi lose and be powerless.

The defenders of Shangqi City were only 1,000 people, and they were no match for the Shu army at all, and the Shu army attacked the city and almost crushed the victory, which made Wang Qi feel helpless and desperate. He knew very well that the Shu army was the first to attack Shangqi. The purpose is the granary of Tianshui, and now that the Shu army has succeeded, the next step will definitely besiege Jicheng, and with the strength of Jicheng, it will not be able to stop the huge army of the Shu army at all.

Once upon a time, Wei had 100,000 troops in Guanlong. How majestic it is, let Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei come several times, they are all immovable, what is this, this is the background, the profound foundation of the strength of the Wei State, when Deng Ai was the governor of Yongliang, the Shu people were able to show their heads and bubble on the side of the Qinling Mountains, and wanted to attack the city and plunder the wall. It's just wishful thinking.

But now the Wei State has a large attack on Shu, and the troops in the Guanlong area have been transferred away eighty percent, and the emptiness of the troops has created an opportunity for the counterattacking Shu army to break through with more and less, and the Wei reinforcements from far away in the Central Plains will arrive in Longxi, at least two or three months, this time, it is enough for the Shu army to gain a firm foothold in Longxi.

Wang Ji sighed softly, and the sadness of being unable to return to heaven enveloped his heart.

"Lord Kaiyu. Longxi Gong Cao Gu Feng asked to see him outside the city. The subordinate officials reported to the king.

Gu Feng is Wang Qi's maternal uncle and cousin, and he is engaged in Gong Cao under the command of Longxi Taishou Qianhong. Wang Qi made this arrangement precisely because he had a good personal relationship with Xianhong, and he saved the criticism of serving in Tianshui, but now Longxi has surrendered to the county, and now Longxi and Tianshui have become hostile.

However, Wang Ji still ordered someone to pass Gu Feng in.

Gu Feng is also a talent. Personable, after coming in, the first thing he did was to bow deeply to Wang Qi, and said, "I've seen my cousin, but I don't know how my cousin is doing lately?" ”

Wang Ji snorted coldly. said: "It is rumored that all the officials in Longxi County are promoted to the third level, and my cousin must also be promoted to the rank of official, which is gratifying." ”

"Rumors! Definitely a rumor! Longxi County is such a big place, and all officials have been promoted to three levels, so isn't everyone too guarded? Now in this world, but rumors are flying all over the sky, cousin, don't listen to rumors. Gu Feng said with a smile.

Wang Ji sneered and said, "Then Lianhong is still a Taishou now?" I thought that he had lost his integrity, betrayed the country to seek glory, and at least he could be a marquis and worship the prime minister, and it seems that he is no more than Erer. ”

Gu Feng ignored Wang Qi's mocking words and said: "Yang Bao is quite virtuous, but it's a pity that he didn't even hold on for two hours, and he was already in a different place, cousin really thinks that with the current situation of Jicheng, he can hold on for a longer time than Shangqi?" Good birds choose trees to perch, good ministers choose the main thing, cousin, the person who knows the times is Junjie, now the general trend of Longyou has gone, cousin must not be mistaken because of a momentary mood. ”

Wang Ji glanced at Gu Feng indifferently and said, "If my cousin is visiting relatives, I welcome him very much, and if he is a lobbyist for the Shu people, then I will not send it far away." ”

As soon as he heard that Wang Qi had issued an order to expel guests, Gu Feng laughed and said, "Is my cousin going to die for Cao Wei?" ”

Wang Qi said solemnly: "A certain is for Wei Chen, eating the country, and he should be loyal to the country and swear to survive in Jicheng." ”

Gu Feng said slowly: "If I remember correctly, my uncle was a great Han Jiyin Taishou during his lifetime, and because he was dissatisfied with Cao Cao's unauthorized power to control the country, he resigned in anger and died of depression. Now my cousin claims to be the Wei Chen of the usurper of the Han Dynasty, and he is loyal to the country, but he doesn't know how he feels when he hears it under Lingzun Jiuquan? ”

Wang Ji's face was blue and white, this was his father's testament, except for his immediate relatives, no one could really know, but Gu Feng was his cousin, Wang Ji's mother was Gu Feng's aunt, with this relationship, he naturally knew everything about his Wang family, Gu Feng brought it up at this time, which made Wang Qi embarrassed.

Before Wang Qi's father died, he did have his last words to confess, and future generations are not allowed to serve Wei as officials. However, the Wei Dynasty has been a long time, the hearts of the people in the world are attached, Wang Ji did abide by his father's legacy when he was young, but at that time, he was a scholar and excellent, and he was destined to have no good future if he was not an official.

Now that Gu Feng has brought up the old things again, Wang Ji has remembered his father's legacy again, and he is embarrassed.

Gu Feng said earnestly: "Ji Han is the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, the leading Zhenbei general Liu Yin and the king of the northern land of the supervising army Liu Chen are both descendants of Gaozu Miao, raising troops to rebel against the Han family, Kuang Fu Han family, it is a dignified way, my cousin claims to be a usurper Wei Chen, one of them is not filial to his father, and the other is not loyal to the country, so disloyal and unfilial, and talk about the word integrity? Now that the Han army is mighty, all the people in the world are vying for it, and those who are higher and more powerful than their cousins are also setting things right, which is the desire of the people, and the cousin must not ignore it. ”

"A person of great power? Who is it? ”

Gu Feng said with a smile: "Deng Shizai, the former general of the Western Expedition, who supervised the Yongliang Military, I don't know if it counts?" (To be continued.) )
