"Deng Gong?" Wang Ji was taken aback and said, "Impossible! There is news from the front, Deng Ai has been defeated since Yinping and has died in state affairs, how can he surrender to the enemy? ”

Gu Feng took a letter from his sleeve, presented it with both hands, and said, "This is Deng Gong's handwritten letter, I believe that Deng Gong's handwriting, my cousin can still recognize it." ”

Wang Ji was suspicious of the letter, opened it and looked at it, and the familiar handwriting made Wang Ji believe that it was written by Deng Ai, in which Deng Ai spoke earnestly, and he was kind to persuade him to surrender.

I have to say how much shock this letter brought to Wang Ji, who is Deng Ai? That's a person who stomped on his feet, and the whole Longyou was going to tremble, that was the real feudal official, who was much higher than them, and even he had surrendered to Shu, and Wang Qi's three views were all ruined.

Gu Feng said in a timely manner: "It is precisely because of Deng Gong that he decided to descend to the Han Dynasty, his cousin is the old department of Deng Gong, if he is willing to return to the Han Dynasty at this time, he will not hesitate to be the minister of Zhongxing of the Han Dynasty, and now the main force of Wei is trapped in Jingyi Erzhou, Guanlong Luoyang is empty, and Liu Yin, the general of Zhenbei, is waving his army this time, and pacifying Guanlong is just around the corner, even if it is to march into Luoyang and recover the Han Dynasty, it is not difficult." To tell the truth, General Zhenbei has issued an ultimatum, if the cousin refuses to surrender, twelve hours later, the Han army will launch a full-scale attack on Jicheng, whether to die in vain with Jicheng, follow in the footsteps of Yang Leopard, or follow the instructions of Lingzun and be a Zhongxing hero of the restoration of the Han Dynasty, my cousin will decide for himself. ”

Wang Ji struggled for a long time, hesitated again and again, and finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind, saying: "Since Duke Deng has a life, he doesn't dare to disobey." Please go back and report to General Zhenbei. Let's just say that my king is willing to surrender the city and surrender it. It's just that the city is good and cheap, and I hope that General Zhenbei can treat the good people preferentially. ”

Gu Feng smiled and said: "Don't worry about this cousin, the general of Zhenbei is in Longxi, and in Shangqi, he has issued military orders and posted notices, and he has no offense with Minqiu, and the Han army is the army of the king." It was magnificent, and there was no nuisance to the people. ”

So Wang Qi Kaicheng surrendered to Liu Yin, and Jicheng became the second county city to surrender without a fight.

After Liu Yin entered the city, he really fulfilled his promise, Yu Minqiu did not commit any crimes, he was strict with military discipline, the business was fair, the people's hearts were settled, and the whole Tianshui did not cause much turmoil because of the change of country.

Of course. Taking Tianshui does not mean that everything is fine, and there is still Guangwei in the east of Tianshui. In the north of Guangwei, there is still stability, and Nan'an County, which has been surrounded by the Shu army, also needs to be conquered by the Shu army.

Sitting in Jicheng, Liu Yin convened the generals to discuss the next military action, among the three counties of Nan'an, Guangwei and Anding, the preparation is to take the one first, and take the one first.

Some of the generals proposed to attack Guangwei first, and some proposed to attack Nan'an first, each holding a word and arguing endlessly. It is proposed to fight Guangwei first, believing that Guangwei is in the east of Tianshui and is the gateway to attack Guanzhong, and the geographical location is very important, so it should be attacked first; Those who proposed to fight Nan'an first thought that Nan'an was sandwiched between Longxi Tianshui, just like a fish bone stuck in the throat, so they should not vomit or be unhappy, and take Nan'an as soon as possible, so that the counties of Longyou will be connected, so as to help stabilize the overall situation.

At this time, Wang Ji stood up. After Wang Qi surrendered, just like the treatment of Lianhong, he still held the position of Tianshui Taishou unchanged, and named him the general of Fuyuan, the Marquis of Xihua Pavilion, and still commanded the old department.

"General Qiyu, Zhou Xu, the Taishou of Anding County, is the brother-in-law of the last general, and the last general can repair a letter and summon him to surrender."

In fact, the relationship between Wang Ji and Zhou Xu, Liu Yin had already known through Lian Hong, but Wang Ji had just surrendered, and Liu Yin could not directly order Wang Ji to surrender Zhou Xu, and at this moment Wang Ji took the initiative to mention it, and Liu Yin was naturally happy to enjoy it.

"Okay, then there will be King Lao Taishou."

Wang Ji immediately repaired a letter, sent a steward in his house, and hurried to Anding.

After waiting for three days, he got a reply from Zhou Xu, who knew that his brother-in-law Wang Qi had already surrendered to Shu, so he naturally raised the flag and surrendered the county.

Zhou Xuping Suri is obedient to Wang Ji, the relationship between the two is very harmonious, this time Wang Qichen said very well, persuaded him to surrender, Zhou Xu immediately said, brother-in-law let him go there.

In fact, to tell the truth, Wang Qi's surrender to Shu was a major crime of rebellion, and that was to destroy the three clans, the three clans are the father's clan, the mother's clan, and the wife's clan. If you don't want to be implicated, there is also a way, that is, to draw a clear line with Wang Qi and send troops to attack, so that Zhou Xu may be exempted from criminal responsibility.

But Zhou Xu is very clear, the army of Shu is pressing, only with the thousand men and horses of Anding County, sending troops to fight, and he is not even qualified to be a snack for others, and it is also wishful thinking to keep Anding, the only way is to abandon the city and flee for his life, or he can escape with his life.

However, Wei Law also stipulates that those who defend the city and hold on for 100 days without reinforcements have arrived, those who surrender can be exempted from their crimes, and those who surrender in less than 100 days or abandon the city and flee will be severely punished.

Now only the same as Wang Qi, surrendering to Shu is the right way out, one is worry-free, and the other is the best of both worlds.

Liu Yin was overjoyed when he heard the news, and Anding was the third county city to be taken by the soldiers without blood, and he ordered Zhou Xu to be the Taishou of Anding and lead the old department.

Next, it was time to attack Guangwei, and a military meeting was held in Liu Yin to discuss the plan to march into Guangwei. At this time, the Chinese army suddenly came to report that Guangwei was too defended and fled.

It turned out that Cheng Yuan, the Taishou of Guangwei, heard the news of the near loss of the Tianshui counties in Longxi, and was almost unfortunate, thinking that only more than 1,000 people in Guangwei could not stop the attack of the Shu army, Cheng Yuan simply abandoned the city and fled to Guanzhong with his troops.

Zhao Zhuo and Zhuge Shang immediately asked for orders to chase, Liu Yin shook his head, Guangwei and Fufeng County were separated, Cheng Yuan fled to the famous and dangerous Chencang, at this time to chase, I am afraid it will be too late, and Liu Yin decided not to fight Chencang for the time being, so there is no point in pursuing.

Liu Yin appointed Gu Feng as the Taishou of Guangwei and stationed in Linwei, and then the army returned to Nan'an and decided to strike a fatal blow to the enemy in Nan'an. However, before the attack, Liu Yin did not salute first and then soldier, and put a letter of surrender to Nan'an Taishou.

With Nan'an Taishou Qiao Pu was already frightened, in the face of Liu Yin's surrender, he immediately agreed, but he was not unconditional, put forward a request, Nan'an County can be offered, but Qiao Pu himself did not want to enter Shu as an official, begging Liu Yin to allow him to return to his hometown and return to his hometown Qinghe County, Jizhou.

Of course, Liu Yin could not refuse, and allowed him to sacrifice the city and return to seclusion. So after Nan'an became the four counties of Longxi, Tianshui, Anding, and Guangwei, the fifth county was taken without blood.

In just half a month, Liu Yin has already won the five counties of Longshang, and the momentum is huge. (To be continued.) )
