Chapter 37 What is an official and what is a thief?

"Haha, I admire my brothers and sisters for being so beautiful, so let's just go and explore this Xinye City with Brother Wei."

Hou Yin laughed loudly and waved his hand towards Wei Shi.

He was a bystander throughout the battle in which the weak defeated the strong in Junshan. He admired Wei Shi's ability to command the battle according to local conditions.

A powerful enemy is present.

Wei Shi dared to take his wife Han Qiang with him, which showed that he was fully confident about the upcoming war.

"Okay, with the help of the heroes from Xiong'er Mountain, we will definitely win this battle." Wei Shi laughed, dashed his horse forward, and walked side by side with Hou Yin.

Hou Yin's idea did not surprise him.

This time Hou Yin came down from the mountain with about 2,000 men, twice as many as Wei Shi.

But judging from the simple attire of the soldiers, the wooden poles and hunting bows in their hands, the combat effectiveness of the remaining Yellow Turban troops was just that. Hou Yin definitely did not have the courage to confront Cao's army head-on.

However, if he can help Wei Shi win another battle, Hou Yin will also get some benefits. In this way, he will not lose face by returning to Xiong'er Mountain.

Just have someone.

Wei Shi is not picky about food now.

He came from a poor family, almost to the point of being a commoner, with no reputation at all. The only useful people were Lou Gui and Wei Yan, two short-term contract workers. It was a good thing that Hou Yin took the initiative to join at this time.

Later, Hou Yin behaved very low-key as expected. During the march, the Xiong'er Mountain bandits also obeyed Wei Shi's instructions and took on the task of protecting the two wings. Hou Yin even volunteered to serve as a scout for the front army to find out the movements of Cao's army.

.

This task was not difficult for Hou Yin. In terms of escape speed, they, the Yellow Turban bandits who were used to battles, had a lot of accumulated experience.

When he saw Wei Shi and Hou Yin joining forces, Wei Yan, who had a very proud temperament, darkened his face. He frowned all the way and looked at Hou Yin and other yellow scarf bandits.

Think about it in Wei Yan, officers and soldiers are officers and soldiers, and grass bandits are grass bandits. If Wei Shi does this, even if Liu Bei, the general of the left, has no idea, Liu Biao, the herdsman of Jingzhou, will not be able to pass the test.

"Brother Wen, there is something that Shi wants to say solemnly. Whether you are an official or a thief, your identity is not important. What is important is that in the eyes of most people in this world, are you an official or a thief?

thief?"

"In Shi's view, in the troubled times of the Han Dynasty, officials and thieves had long been indistinguishable. Shi remembered that the one who killed the young emperor was Grand Master Dong Zhuo, the one who humiliated the emperor was Grand Sima Li Ji, the chariot general Guo Si, and the one who saved the emperor from fire and water was the Yellow Turban

Bai Bo attacked Yang Feng and Xu Huang?"

Wei Shi's two rhetorical words left Wei Yan speechless for a moment.

During the chaotic times of the Han Dynasty, officials and thieves could no longer be distinguished.

Dong Zhuo was the Grand Master of the Han Dynasty, but judging from the fact that he deposed the emperor without authorization, how was he any different from a national traitor? Li Cui, Guo Si and other leaders of the Xiliang soldiers coerced the emperor to order the princes. In their eyes, the dignity of the Han royal family was also

Worthless.

In addition, Tang Ji, the daughter of the Yingchuan Tang family of Wei Shi's mother clan, was kidnapped by Li Ji, and Wei Shi's family was also destroyed in the Battle of Wancheng. Wei Shi, a brother of his own clan, did not have a good impression of the armies of various princes.

It's also reasonable.

"General Zuo..., Lord Bo Liu Yan and others have some objections to Brother Shi. If they hear that Brother Shi is friends with the bandits, I'm afraid there will be another slanderous incident."

There was hesitation on Wei Yanzhongzao's face.

He couldn't stand Liu Yan and other people who claimed to be noble, but under Liu Bei, these people still occupied high positions. A slander might be enough to suppress Wei Shi's ability to lift his head.

"Humph, the three bandits of Nanyang, Wang Zhong, brought trouble to the town. Shi Yi tried his best to exterminate them to restore peace to the people. Hou Yin and Liao Hua didn't see many unjust acts. Shi was involved with them. What's wrong with them?

?”

"Shi heard that when General Zuo was in Runan, he joined forces with the Yellow Turban Commander Liu Pi, Gong Du and others. Liu and Gong both died in battle to save General Zuo. How can we explain this?"

The people who traveled through Wei Shi had no fear of Liu Bei. The last sentence directly revealed what happened to Liu Bei in Rangcheng, Runan. Wei Yan was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

To put it bluntly, compared with what Liu Bei did, Wei Shi and Hou Yin joining forces to defeat Cao's army, is really nothing?

After Wei Shi said these words, he didn't pay much attention to what Wei Yan thought. He could only wait for Wei Yan to untie this knot in his heart. If he was forced to hurry, it would be counterproductive.

Just like Lou Gui.

When he had to go to Liu Biao's Xiangyang, Wei Shi didn't force him to stay, he just set a time limit. But now, Lou Gui no longer mentioned the Xiangyang matter in front of Wei Shi, but happily helped to deal with it.

All affairs in the inner country are coming.

Wei Yan looked at Wei Shi's back being hugged tightly by Zhong Lin, Wei Cheng, Wei Gong, Wang En, Han Jin and other people from Yushuwan Village. However, his mood was ups and downs.

The military situation is urgent.

Wei Shi returned to the army formation, mainly to explain clearly to his subordinates his idea of ​​"controlling cavalry by foot".

A sturdy wooden cart.

A bamboo spear as sharp as a forest.

Hoe for digging the ground.

There are also carefully prepared caltrops...

——

Outside Xinye City, Cao Ying.

Xiahoulan was inspecting the military supplies plundered by his subordinates, and he was elated with the rich harvest.

Compared with the pain of being plotted by Wei Shi when they were in the countryside, both Xia Houlan and Hou Cheng felt that this step to attack the new country was the right one.

And this change in heaven and earth also made the two of them more wary and hateful towards Wei Shi.

Therefore, when Cao Jun's scouts reported that Wei Shi came to Xinye to rescue him, the two Cao generals immediately temporarily supported the attack on Xinye City and began to discuss how to attack Wei Shi first.

"General Xiahou, the Wei invaders took advantage of Junshan. Now, Hou will make it impossible for him to get back. When the Wei invaders have their heads in hand, Xinye will be defeated without attacking."

Hou Cheng was very confident and assured Xia Houlan by patting his chest.

"Okay. General Hou, you lead the 800 elite cavalry of our headquarters to set off and wipe out all the Wei invaders. This will bring shame to Junshan." Xia Houlan nodded, picked up the command arrow and handed it to Hou Cheng.

Defeating Wei Shi's supporting army was also a powerful move to frighten the Xinye defenders.

Otherwise, if the city cannot be attacked for a long time, the morale of Cao's army will gradually decline, and it will be difficult to expand the results in the future.

Hou Cheng led the troops out of the camp.

Eight hundred cavalrymen galloped along the official road. At noon, they saw a group of people and horses in front of them appearing in the distance. The flag in the middle was not clear.

Only Wang Xian was sharp-sighted. When he discovered that it was Hou Yin's flag, he immediately rode back and reported the military situation to Hou Cheng.

"Hou Yin, this duplicitous Yellow Turban thief must have surrendered to Wei Kou. Kill..." Hou Cheng gritted his teeth and issued a fierce order.

Although they both share the surname Hou, they are not related to each other.
