The meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step.

The three counties of Fangling, Shangyong, and Xichengdong were looked down upon by others, but Wei Shi was not picky about his food.

Before time travel, he was a low-key and unassuming person. In the chaotic times of the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, when people were dying like dogs, Wei Shi was even more cautious in his words and deeds, and was unassuming.

If it weren't for Xia Houlan and Hou Cheng to attack Neixiang, Wei Shi would still be hiding in Junshan, quietly leading Han Qiang, Wang En and others to work on infrastructure construction.

However, it was this robbery by Cao Bing that woke Wei Shi up.

He only knew how to keep his head down and work without looking up, so he could not get away with it in the late Han Dynasty. He had to find a backer as soon as possible, otherwise, no matter how advanced he invented, he would be taken away in the end.

Although Liu Xie was a puppet emperor, his status as emperor still existed.

In the fifth year of Jian'an, Dong Cheng, Wang Zifu, Zhong Ji, Wu Shuo, Wu Zilan and others were killed by Cao Cao due to the Yidai Zhao incident. Liu Xie now had no one available except Queen Fu.

It was just the right time for Wei Shi to surrender at this time.

As for the governor of a remote small county, he would not be targeted by Cao Cao, who was busy unifying the north.

If the time had been changed to six or seven years later, that is, during the Battle of Chibi, Wei Shi would no longer have any illusions about becoming the governor of Fangling, because by that time, the entire Jingzhou would have been reduced to a pot of porridge, and he would no longer have peace of mind.

A place for development.

From Luyang to Kunyang, then to Changshe, Yancheng, Wei Shi, Liao Hua, and Hou Yin led three thousand Nanyang soldiers and circled around Xudu.

This moment happened to be when the aftermath of the Battle of Bowangpo was still lingering.

Liu Bei won a great victory and wanted to continue to expand the results. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei each led their elite troops to come back. For a time, the border war between Jingzhou and Yuzhou reignited.

After a fire broke out in Bowangpo, more than half of Xiahou Dun's 30,000 troops were burned, leaving only 15,000 soldiers who fled back to Ye County with the help of Li Dian.

Fortunately, compared to Liu Bei, who had a poor family, Cao Cao's family had a big business, and after mobilizing the rear, they were able to gather 30,000 generals.

There is an emptiness behind Yingchuan.

It is the time when there is a big commotion in the Heavenly Palace.

Wei Shi and his vanguard troops also pretended to be Cao Jun, deliberately avoiding the official roads leading to various places in Xudu, and specifically looking for pavilions, villages and towns in various places in Yingchuan to attack.

There were not many soldiers stationed in these towns, and even if they were there, they would only be three or five people hunting for robbers, and they could not even think of competing against Wei Shi and others.

Of course, there is not much to be gained from just looking for small villages. Wei Shi also went to the famous noble families in Yingchuan County.

The counselors of the Three Kingdoms are half of Yingchuan.

Compared with other counties, Yingchuan area is rich in talents.

Yingyin Xun family, Xu County Chen family, Changshe Zhong family, Xiangcheng Li family, Yangzhai Guo family, Yangzhai Xin family, Wuyang Han family, Dingling Du family, Fucheng Feng family...

Many of the children of these noble clans served in the court and various forces. The most numerous of them were Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, the two largest princes in the north.

When Wei Shi came back from this trip, he initially thought about whether he could recruit any famous counselors, such as a few from the Xun family and the Zhong family, but later he realized that he had thought too much.

The descendants of the Xun family and the Zhong family, even if they were from the side branches, would not be able to defect to Nanyang bandits like them.

Finally, the Guo family and other concubine children from the two families were encouraged by Wei Shi's sharp tongue and wanted to start a business from scratch with Wei Shi...

Among these disciples, there was only one who stood out, a young man named Guo Peng from the Guo family in Yangzhai. The main reason why he defected to Wei Shi was because he accidentally killed someone in Xingxia County.

This person was none other than a domestic servant of Duxiang Marquis Bian Bing. Bian Bing was the younger brother of Cao Cao’s wife Bian. With this relationship, the Guo family wanted to protect him, but they couldn’t.

Guo Peng has been hiding in Tibet for a while and wanted to run south to Jingzhou, but he was worried about being stopped. He happened to meet Wei Shi and others fighting the autumn wind in Yingchuan County, so Guo Peng immediately defected over.

With Guo Peng as a local leader, Wei Shi and others were even more at home.

After Yingchuan's lap, Wei Shiqiufeng beat him neatly and gained a lot.

Liao Hua and Hou Yin followed Wei Shi, and they were also very happy.

When they first entered Yingchuan County, they were quite critical of Wei Shi's hidden marching route, feeling that it really undermined their prestige as a Nanyang bandit. But now, they no longer think so.

"Brother Wei is not only talented, but also has great ingenuity. Hua admires him very much. From now on, Hua will have no objection to what brother says."

Liao Hua was wearing the armor of a Cao Jun general, carrying a standard ring-headed sword in his hand, and was smiling.

This trip goes down the mountain.

He and his subordinates have become powerful. Not only are their equipment completely new, but the number of subordinates has also increased exponentially.

Several farming camps were transferred here, and the young and strong Huangjin people who worked hard to cultivate the fields there. After hearing about the former identities of Liao Hua and Hou Yin, no less than 3,000 people were willing to follow them to Funiu Mountain.

Wei Shi was also very satisfied with this.

These yellow-turbaned men in the fields are young and strong, and have held swords and guns before, and have fought in battles before. With a little training, they will be excellent soldiers.

After this cooperation, Wei Shi, Liao Hua, and Hou Yin's mutual trust has been greatly increased. Over time, the Funiu Mountain defense system with Junshan, Xiong'er Mountain, and Shangluo Mountain as the fulcrum has initially taken shape.

When he returned to Junshan, Wei Shi planned to integrate these young people from the field into the inner township army. In this way, after the young people from Yingchuan integrated into the army, he would have a more powerful self-defense army under his hands.

Yan County.

The Tang family's villa.

Wei Shi had been waiting at the door of Tang's secluded villa for two hours.

According to Tang Lin, Princess Hongnong Tang Ying lives here, but Tang Lin cannot guarantee whether Tang Ying will meet Wei Shi.

"Brother Wei, if the princess never sees us, do we really have to wait any longer? The Liao family and the Hou family are anxious to return to Nanyang..."

Next to Wei Shi, Guo Peng, who was wearing a Ge scarf and a sword hanging from his waist, looked anxious.

His name has been included on the wanted list of the Yingchuan government. If he stays here and does not leave, he will be caught sooner or later. By then, even if the important ministers in the court intercede, it will be difficult for Da Sikong to persuade him.

Cao Cao changed his mind.

Wei Shi shook his head and said firmly:

"Zifeng, have you ever heard of a saying: Where there is a will, there is a way; if there is hard work, God will not let you down... I believe that when the princess sees these words, she will understand my thoughts and understand my situation.

."

After the death of Hongnong King Liu Bian, Tang Ying encountered a major change and was almost tainted by Li Ji. This greatly reduced her trust in people. Wei Shi came to visit rashly, so it was normal not to be trusted.

However, due to sincerity, gold and stone are opened.
