Emperor Liu Xie's trust was a powerful help to Wei Shi.

With Liu Xie as his backer, the words "rebellious ministers and traitors" will not be placed on Wei Shitou in the future.

But at the same time, it also blocked Wei Shi's path to surrender to other forces.

This result may be unbearable for others.

But for Wei Shi, it was actually a good thing.

Because he had no intention of working for Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Liu Biao and others.

Although Cao Cao was a hero, he was also a tyrant in troubled times and had a volatile personality. If he were not careful to defect to him, Wei Shi might lose his life.

Liu Bei had the status of an imperial uncle and often talked about benevolence and righteousness, but in his heart, what he was thinking about was the imperial hegemony.

Wei Shi also didn't think that an independent force like him, who had the support of the imperial court, his own army, and subordinate staff, would have a good result if he defected to Liu Bei.

As for Liu Biao and others, let alone that.

Han Qiang and Song Yuniang, who were one wife and one concubine, jumped up with joy when they learned that Wei Shi had been given a title by the emperor. In their opinion, their husbands were talented, so they were favored by the emperor.

"Wei Lang, tonight, Yuniang and I are going to freshen up. Can you come back early?" Han Qiang's pretty face was full of spring, and she was wearing a coat and skirt that highlighted her towering breasts. The shyness of the bride made Wei Shi think about it.

When three people travel together, there must be my teacher.

Although Wei Shi was not a womanizer, the two women Han and Song had their own merits, and the feeling of hugging each other made him unable to help but feel distraught.

That night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the beauty of the world was countless.

When it was daylight, Song Yuniang had already gotten up early, but Han Qiang was still relying on Wei Shi, contented and unwilling to get up.

"Wei Lang, hey, Zizhong, the word "Your Majesty" is chosen well. Zi means son. Zhong, does that mean we will have two sons?

During this period, Han Qiang learned etiquette from the palace historian sent by Tang Ying, but after all, his foundation was weak. The origin of drumming in the Book of Songs could not be thought of for a while.

When Wei Shi heard this, he couldn't help but laugh: "Aqiang, two sons are too many. You and I don't even have a son now?"

Han Qiang stood up angrily, not caring that she had already released her love: "Huh, let's work hard to have a son now, and we'll have one soon..."

After saying that, Han Qiang ignored it, lowered her head and bit Wei Shi's shoulder.

...

In October of the seventh year of Jian'an.

It has been a month since Wei Shi took office as the governor of Fangling.

The changes in Fangling County can be described as rapid.

The number of people who migrated from Xinye and Neixiang areas totaled more than 10,000.

Compared with the total number of 100,000 in the Xinye area, this number of people is neither too many nor too few. It depends on whether Liu Bei is open-minded and generous.

Fortunately, judging from Liu Bei's reaction, the situation is not bad.

Sun Qian, who was engaged in the war, received Liu Bei's order and came to Fangling to express his congratulations to Wei Shi. During this period, Sun Qian vaguely mentioned that Liu Bei would actively prepare for the second Northern Expedition.

In order to conduct the Northern Expedition, it is natural to have people, whether they are regular soldiers or young and strong auxiliary soldiers.

Therefore, what Liu Bei means is that Wei Shi, please stop poaching people from Xinye, otherwise, I will be rude to you.

"Gongyou, General Zuo has the ambition to restore the Han Dynasty, and I, Wei Zizhong, am not the same. The reason why I persuaded the villagers of Xinye a few days ago is to fulfill General Zuo's old promise, and to plan in advance to avoid the war spreading and affecting innocent people.

.”

"Gongyou was also involved in the massacre of Xuzhou back then. He must also be aware of Cao Sikong's ruthless methods."

In front of Sun Qian, Wei Shi directly pointed out the dangers that Liu Bei might face if he determined to make the Northern Expedition. The consequence would most likely be that Cao's army would move south in large numbers, and the Xinye area would become the focus of the battle between the two armies.

In the Battle of Xuzhou, Cao's army marched eastward and massacred Pengcheng, Xiapi and other cities. The prosperous land of Xuzhou was turned into a cemetery with no roosters crowing for thousands of miles and bones exposed in the wild. This situation was so tragic that I believe Sun Qian could not bear to see it. Of.

Sun Qian was an honest man, and he felt ashamed to be praised by Wei Shi.

After staying for a day, Sun Qian left Fangling by boat and prepared to return to Xinye via Xiangyang. Anyway, he had said what he should have said. The relationship between Liu Bei and Wei Shi was not something he could control as an envoy. of.

Wei Shi had already anticipated Liu Bei's attitude and was not worried at the moment.

Next, his main strategic direction was still the two cities of Shangyong and Xiping occupied by the Shen brothers. This direction had no conflict with Liu Bei.

——

Next October.

The day after Wei Shi received Liu Xie's private edict, Wei Yan encountered the soldiers of Yi King Pu Hu in the Wu River area upstream of the blocked water.

Compared with the previous record of fewer wins and more losses, this time, Wei Yan showed great power. After a fierce battle, he directly captured Pu Hu's settlement. Pu Hu panicked and fled into the deep forest. More than 500 people were captured. .

Wei Shi received news of Wei Yan's victory in the city and went to the city gate to greet him personally.

After waiting for about an hour and a half, Wei Yan's general flag finally appeared in sight.

"Sir, Wei Junwei was ordered to attack the Pu Hu soldiers in Wuxi. He killed 171 enemies, captured 503 enemies, and captured countless mulberry, silkworms, hemp, silkworms, copper and iron."

Before Wei Yan reached the city gate, the messenger scouts in front had already quickly ran to the city gate and began to report the results of the battle.

"Wei Junwei has made great achievements and should be rewarded heavily. All the gentlemen who fought with him should also be rewarded heavily." Wei Shi praised loudly.

This time, Wei Yan defeated Pu Hu, allowing him to truly feel the ability of this famous Shu Han general.

Not long after, Wei Yan led the Chinese army back to the city. When he paid a visit, he also brought over a skinny young man who was fifteen or sixteen years old.

"Sir, this military victory was all due to the guidance of the familiar barbarians. Otherwise, if this Puhu went into the mountains, he would not be able to find their residence."

"This young man is from Danqu, Basi County, Yizhou. His surname is He Ping. His real surname is Wang. Because his father died young, he had no choice but to be fostered in the home of his maternal grandfather He."

"Thankfully He Ping led the way this time when we used troops. Otherwise, it would have been really difficult to find Pu Hu's residence."

Wei Yan has a proud personality, and there are very few people who can catch his eye. This young man named He Ping must be outstanding in order to gain Wei Yan's recognition.

"The article chief recommends that he must be a good man. However, since a man has a surname, he should keep his original surname. From now on, your name will be Wang Ping. If the He family is dissatisfied, let them come to me?"

Wei Shi stepped forward, patted Wang Ping on the shoulder and said.

The name He Ping is ordinary.

But if it were changed and turned into Wang Ping, it would be completely different.

A famous general in the mid-Shu Han Dynasty, he was the former supervisor of the army and the general of Zhenbei. When Cao Shuang led an army of 100,000 to attack Hanzhong, he was repulsed by Wang Ping in the Battle of Xingshi.
