Two dogs fight, play off.

After Wei Shi said goodbye to Zhao Yun, he led the Neixiang soldiers into the hills and valleys west of Gushan. After some maneuvers, he got rid of the chasing Cao army and headed for Luyang County.

Luyang belongs to Nanyang County of Jingzhou, connecting Ye County to the southeast, the vast mountains of Shangluo to the west, and Neixiang County to the southwest.

This place has been a gathering place for grass since the Qin Dynasty, and the folk customs are very ferocious. Many of Wei Shi's Neixiang soldiers are from Luyang, and they have people who can lead the way, so they don't have to worry about being betrayed.

When Wei Shi arrived, the gates of Luyang City were wide open, and only a few petty officials were stationed in the county government office.

After careful questioning, we found out that the county magistrate, county lieutenant and other officials were appointed by Cao Cao. When they heard that Liu Bei's army had arrived in Jingzhou, they were so frightened that they fled without knowing where to go.

Wei Shi was not polite and went directly to handle official business at the county government office.

After jumping out of the main battlefield of Bowangpo, Wei Shi's burden was lightened. No matter how Liu Bei fought next, it had nothing to do with him.

If Liu Bei can win the battle of Bowangpo, then Wei Shi will take advantage, defeat Cao's army who is alone, and change the shabby clothes of the Neixiang soldiers.

If Liu Bei fails to live up to expectations and is defeated, then it has nothing to do with Wei Shi?

At worst, if Xiahou Dun comes to kill, Wei Shi will continue to retreat westward and join forces with Liao Hua and Hou Yin. By then, he will be afraid of who will come to this vast mountain.

"Sir, the elder of the Luyang Tang clan is outside the door, asking to see you. He said he is an elder of your clan." Just when Wei Shi was feeling proud, Wei Cheng hurried in from outside, holding a famous assassination in his hand.

.

Luyang Tang family.

Wei Shi was stunned when he heard it. He took it and saw that it was a person named Tang Lin. Next to the famous assassin, there was also a gift of ten gold, which was quite sincere.

Wei Shi perked up and said, "I'd like to invite Mr. Tang."

Wei Cheng went out as ordered, and after a while, he brought in an old man named Zhuguai who was over sixty years old and had white hair and beard.

As soon as he entered the door, the old man trembled slightly when he saw Wei Shi. He took out a genealogy roll from his arms and said, "Sir, this is the genealogy list of the Tang family in Luyang. The name of your late mother, the Tang family, is also in the list."

superior......"

Wei Shi took the silk album and opened it to take a closer look. It was on the last few pages of the album that he did see his mother's name, Tang's. However, judging from the ink marks, it looked like it had been newly added.

This is normal. Tang's mother has been separated from her clan for many years and has never been in contact. Naturally, she cannot be recognized as a member of the clan.

When Wei Shi entered Luyang, people from the Tang family probably learned about Wei Shi's deeds from somewhere and thought he was an investment candidate, so they quickly added Tang Mu.

Don’t reach out and hit the smiling person.

It's always a good thing to have someone from your mother's clan come to recognize you.

Wei Shi just pretended that he didn't know what Tang Gong was thinking, so he sat across from him in the county government office and started talking.

According to Tang Lin, he and Tang's mother are cousins. When Tang's mother was not married, he and Tang's mother went to the main branch of the Tang family in Yan County and met the head of the Tang family.

Tang Mao.

"Nephew Wei knows that Princess Tang Ji of Hongnong, the daughter of Tang Mao, is currently living in the Tang family's villa in Yan County. If Nephew Wei wants to go further, it may be useful to visit Tang Ji in Yan County."

Tang Lin was a talkative person. After confirming Wei Shi's identity, she began to introduce him enthusiastically.

According to him, Tang Ji was the main branch of the Tang family in Yan County. She was forced by Li Jiu and was almost humiliated. After she returned to Yingchuan by luck, she chose a secluded house to live in seclusion. She was not from the Tang family.

People close to her don't know where Tang Ji lives.

Tang Lin also went back to Yan County to worship her ancestors and heard about it from several elders of the Tang family.

"However, Nephew Wei also knows that this may be a drunken remark, and the credibility is not high, haha!" After Tang Lin revealed the whereabouts of Tang Ji, she suddenly realized that she had made a mistake and immediately changed her story to make amends.

"Mr. Tang is interested. Please rest assured, Mr. Tang. The Neixiang soldiers stationed in Luyang will strictly abide by Han laws. The Tang family's property, including acres of land and homestead, will not be harassed."

Wei Shi nodded and thanked Tang Lin.

His words were what Tang Lin wanted to hear most.

The Tang family in Luyang, like the Tang family in Yanxian County, was close to Cao Cao. After hearing that a Liu Bei army had entered the city, Tang Lin broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he still had some eyes and ears in Nanyang County and found out about Wei.

Stone's identity.

After Tang Lin left, Wei Shi couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Judging from the upcoming situation in Nanyang County, the road ahead for him is indeed difficult.

There is Cai Mao's family on Liu Biao's side, so there is no need to think about it.

On Liu Bei's side, Wei Shi had no direct contact with the great uncle of the Han Dynasty, but he had many contacts with his wife Mi Zhen, his boss Bo Liu Yan, his lieutenant Mi Zhu, Mi Fang and others, and he knew Liu Bei's situation in detail.

Liu Bei's mind is now occupied with the Northern Expedition. Otherwise, if he is recruiting talented generals, a person with little reputation like Wei Shi will defect to him. He will have no choice but to earn qualifications and will probably have to wait until the Battle of Chibi seven years later before he has a chance to stand out.

.

Seven years is too long.

Wei Shi couldn't wait, and he didn't want to wait.

Besides, working for others is not as comfortable as being your own boss.

"It seems that Tang Ji's path mentioned by Tang Gong must be taken. If we can recognize Tang Ji, then after being introduced by Tang Ji, we can establish friendship with Emperor Liu Xie."

"Although Liu Xie is now a puppet emperor, his righteousness is still there, and there are many officials who support him in the court. Cao Cao would not be too opposed to promoting officials from other counties and counties like Wei Shi.

"

While Wei Shi was planning in the county government office, he was also paying attention to the battle situation at Bowangpo. The sky was high and the emperor was far away, so he lived a comfortable life.

The area around Bowangpo was already at war, and the fighting was fierce.

After Xiahou Dun learned about the appearance of Wei Shi's troops, he ordered Han Hao to speed up and attack Zhao Yun fiercely. After a fierce battle, Xiahou Dun, Yu Jin, Han Hao and others chased him into the Bowangpo Valley.

The actual process of this battle was that Liu Bei and Xu Shu saw Cao's army entering the valley and immediately ordered the fire to burn the valley to block Cao's retreat.

At the same time, the two brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also led their troops to fight out. In addition, Liu Bei pressed on Wei Yan, Fu Wei and other reinforcements. Xiahou Dun, Yu Jin, Han Hao and other Cao generals who were burned to the point of dizziness could not resist.

, can only retreat in a hurry.

When Wei Shi found out about the fire at Bowangpo, he immediately sent a message to Liao Hua and Hou Yin in Xiong'er Mountain. When they heard about the opportunity to benefit, they immediately went down the mountain with a thousand native bandits each.

One thousand each, two thousand in total.

The total number is not much.

This is certainly not the full strength of Liao Hua and Hou Yin.

Although I believe in Wei Shi's character, it is the consistent practice of Liao, Hou and other great bandits to leave things to chance.

Outside Luyang City, Wei Shi led all the village soldiers to gather, and saw two groups of people roaring towards them from a distance.

"A certain Mianyang Liao Hua, I have been listening to the master Hou talk about Brother Wei's deeds in the past few days, and I really admire him. When I saw him today, he was indeed a hero..."
