Chapter 21 Lieutenant General, Liao Hua
Who is the rival of the heroes in the world, Cao Liu!
A fire in Bowangpo is finally about to break out.
Although Wei Shi had been prepared for it, when the day actually came, he still felt uncomfortable.
The first level of officialdom crushes people to death.
Compared with Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou, Liu Bei, the governor of the new field, was nothing.
But it depends on who you compare with.
Wei Shi is now at best a village official. Compared with Liu Bei and other border governors and real powerful figures, the gap is really big.
"Commander Xu, Shi Su heard that Uncle Liu Huang is the most benevolent and righteous person in the world and is deeply supported by the people. Today, in order to attack Cao Jun, two kilns in our village need to be requisitioned. I have nothing to say."
"It's just that there are many groups of bandits in Neixiang, such as Wang Zhong, Hou Yin, Liao Hua and others. Each of them leads one, and their power is difficult to control. If only Shi's soldiers from the tribe can conquer them, I'm afraid they will be powerless and Shi will be brave. Please, please
The tribe of my brother Wei Yan went into the inner countryside to suppress the bandits."
Wei Shi looked directly at Xu Shu with bright eyes.
Liu Bei hid and sent Xu Shu over, making it clear that they were negotiating. In this case, Wei Shi was not polite and made his own terms.
Through these days of contact with Wei Yan, Wei Shi had a thorough understanding of this clan brother's temperament.
If others ask for it, Wei Yan will not agree because of Liu Bei's orders.
However, Wei Shi asked as a clan brother, and Wei Yan was a man of good temperament, so he would definitely ask Liu Bei for help.
"I will discuss this matter with General Zuo as soon as I return home." Xu Shu nodded and agreed.
It is obviously unjustifiable to deny Wei Shi any benefit at all.
Wei Yan's troops only have 500 troops. Even if they stay in Xinye, they will not be of much use. If they are sent to the inner countryside to suppress bandits, it is also a way to train troops.
"And General Fu Xu and Fu Qu..." Wei Shi continued.
Xu Shu's face turned dark. This Wei Shi was just as the emperor's uncle had expected. He was smooth and greasy, and he was eager to take advantage of every inch of his life. This kind of behavior was really despising.
"Wei County Lieutenant, General Fu Qu has an important mission and cannot escape. I don't think this is feasible."
When Wei Shi heard this, he shook his head and smiled. It was actually good to have Wei Yan. If he wanted Fu Shu again, Liu Bei and Xu Shu would definitely not agree, but it was always right to give it a try.
"If any of the villagers in Yushu Bay are willing to follow Wei, the prefect's office must not stop them. If they are unwilling to leave, they should be properly resettled to prevent them from being displaced and living a life without security."
"Also, my wife and the female relatives of the family cannot stay in Xinye, and must go to the inner country with Shi."
Wei Shi put forward all his demands in one breath. As long as there are people who support him, no matter where he is, he will have the confidence to build another Yushu Bay and build several more brick kilns and iron kilns.
Xu Shu was startled and asked: "Neixiang County is a remote and remote area with harsh climate and difficult life. It is not an ideal place. In contrast, Xinye is under the rule of the emperor's uncle, with clear seas, rivers and peace. Will Wei County Lieutenant consider it again?
?”
"Thank you, Military Master Xu, for your concern. However, Shi and his wife are newly married. It is a happy time and they really can't leave. Also, Shi's little sister is young and has no relatives at home. Shi really can't rest assured if others take care of her. So,
Please understand, military advisor."
Wei Shi was shameless and told Xu Shu the intimate details of his wedding, which made Xu Shu feel quite embarrassed.
After some exchanges, Xu Shu's opinion of Wei Shi dropped a bit.
This down-and-out son from a poor family, whose language is vulgar and who forgets his righteousness for small gains, is really difficult to support. Rather than stay under Liu Bei's tent and make a disgusting person, it is better to send him to the inner country as early as possible, so that he can be out of sight.
Wei Shi was not impressed by Xu Shu's cold attitude.
This is the result he wants.
Although there are no big battles here in Xinye now, there are frequent wars morning and night, and it is an important place where the two armies confront each other.
With Liu Bei's current strength, it will be impossible to stop Cao's army from going south with all its strength in the future. Rather than delaying and being affected here, it is better to find other places to survive early.
Moreover, in the eyes of others, Neixiang is a bandit's nest, but in Wei Shi's eyes, this is not entirely the case.
Wang Zhong, Hou Yin, and Liao Hua are the three great bandits.
Wang Zhong and Wei Shi had a grudge for killing their father, and their resentment was difficult to resolve. This must be eliminated.
Hou Yin is a local bandit from Funiu Mountain, and he doesn't do many evil deeds. If you can get along with him and form an alliance, you can help him.
Finally, Liao Hua is the person Wei Shi cares about most.
This man was an important general in the late Shu Han Dynasty. He came from a wealthy family in Mianyang. He was the leader of Guan Yu's army in his early years, and later became an important general of the Shu Han Dynasty. The saying that there are no generals in Shu, and Liao Hua is the first general is a compliment to this man.
In addition to being able to divide the bandits, Neixiang is also a key point on the Wuguan Road leading to Guanzhong. As long as Wei Shi occupies this place and the time is right, he can march directly to Guanzhong and capture the land of the Three Qins.
Xu Shu didn't know that Wei Shi had a grand plan, so he left in a hurry after receiving the promise.
The Battle of Bowangpo was about to begin, and he had too many things to be busy with. Being able to spare some time to come to Wei Shi to lobby was already a good deal for the new county captain.
After Xu Shu left, Wei Shi returned to the village to inform Han Qiuyun, Zhong Lin, Wang Laoliu and others about Xinye Governor Liu Bei's decision.
When they learned that the brick kilns and iron kilns they had finally built were going to be requisitioned, Zhong Lin and others looked grim. If Wei Shi hadn't been suppressing them, they would have wanted to pick them up and ask Liu Bei for comment.
"Wei Lang, what do you think, should we leave or stay?" Han Qiuyun asked aloud. Her chest was rising and falling violently, and her mood was very uneasy. This good life had just begun, and she didn't expect to encounter another setback.
Wei Shi glanced around and said slowly: "Just now, I have decided to go to Neixiang and make a comeback there to build bigger brick kilns, iron kilns, weaving workshops, and more that people can't think of.
of good stuff.”
"Brother Shi, I, Zhong Lin, listen to you. We, the Zhong family, all young and old, will follow you. Wherever you go, we will go." Zhong Lin patted his chest and promised loudly.
"Chief, the same goes for my Wang Laoliu family. Wherever Erlang and Sanlang go, Dalang and Silang will go. Even if it is a place even poorer than Neixiang, we are not afraid."
Wang Laoliu was steadfast in his vow and his attitude was equally firm.
Having been deeply tied to Wei Shi, he now has no other choice but to follow Wei Shi.
"Okay, let's gather the whole village together later and explain the matter clearly. Those who are willing to leave can follow, and those who are unwilling can stay."
"I, Wei Shi, have something to say first. I will not force anything and respect everyone's wishes. However, I have one thing to remind you. This Xinye City may not be peaceful in the future, and staying here may not be a good choice."
Wei Shi nodded and squeezed Han Qiuyun's hand.
