Liang Xing, a bandit from Xiliang, and Liu Xiong, a bandit from Nanshan, didn't know what they were doing, and they dared to attack Dongsanjun.

"The cold thieves are disgusting." Wei Shi was furious.

Liu Xiong is just a short-sighted medicine hunter. After all, Liang Xing was a military general in Xiliang. He also spent a lot of time with Dong Zhuo and couldn't see the general trend clearly.

Sooner or later, Guanzhong will be targeted by Cao Cao. In this case, there is really no one Liang Xing who is willing to be Cao Cao's pawn.

Wei Shi hurriedly submitted his resignation to General Zhennan's Mansion and left a letter, reminding Cao Cao that he was about to conquer Jingzhou southward and that everyone in Jingzhou should be prepared in advance to avoid being caught off guard by Cao Cao's army.

"Mr. Wei, Mrs. Wei has agreed to recognize me as her aunt, but you can't do it even if you don't?"

When Cai learned that Wei Shi and Han Qiang were leaving, she deliberately found an opportunity to go to the post house and insisted on dragging Han Qiang to her other house.

According to Cai, Wei Shi and Liu Cong were about the same age and were of the same generation, but she and Han Qiang hit it off instantly, and seeing Han Qiang was like seeing her own niece.

When Wei Shi heard Cai's words, he couldn't help but be startled.

If Mrs. Cai becomes Han Qiang's elder, wouldn't she also become her own cheap aunt?

"This woman is very calculating, but she thinks that her nephew can't do anything to her aunt. You have to know that there will be a martial arts novel about the divine eagle in later generations..."

——

On March.

Wei Shi formally bid farewell to Liu Biao. Liu Biao paid great attention to it and ordered Kuai Liang, the important strategist who served as his assistant, to come and see him off, accompanied by Kuai Yue and Kuai Qi.

Liu Biao relied on the power of the Cai, Kuai, Zhang and other clans to establish Jingzhou.

Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's families relied more on their in-law relationships to get to the top.

In comparison, the Kuai brothers rely more on their abilities.

It is a pity that Kuai Liang was old and died of illness within two years. If he had not died, there would have been no internal chaos in Jingzhou, and it would have been impossible for Cao Cao to successfully capture Jingzhou.

After Liu Biao died of illness, Jingzhou was bound to be divided. Wei Shi had previously intended to make friends with Kuai Qi, just to borrow the strength of the Kuai family to get a share of the pie.

"Sun Ce from Jiangdong has the courage of an overlord, but there are no generals in Jingzhou, so it is difficult to match him. Fortunately, Sun Ce was careless and stabbed to death..." After seeing Wei Shi, Kuai Liang couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

The geographical location of Jingzhou is actually the larger Dongsan County.

The wind leaked from all directions including east, south, west and north. Although Liu Biao was very strong, he could not stop the bites of the wolves.

In the fifth year of Jian'an, Huang Zu and Sun Ce's Jiangdong army fought in Chaisang and Wancheng. Liu Biao's son Liu Hu and general Han Xi were killed. Huang Zuzi and Zhangling prefect Huang She returned in defeat, and numerous soldiers and civilians were taken prisoner.

For a while, Kuai Liang was working for Huang Zu, the prefect of Jiangxia, helping to supervise the construction of Xiakou Fortress. He was so busy that he looked much older.

"Kuai Zhubo, Shu Shi bluntly said that Huang Taishou should be more conservative in employing people. Shi heard that Gan Ning, the great enemy of Bajun, led a brocade sail to surrender to Huang Zu. This man was well versed in water warfare and was extremely brave. Why not reuse him?

"

Wei Shi and Kuai Liang gave a reminder.

He was leaving Jingzhou soon, otherwise he would definitely have to make friends with powerful generals like Gan Ning first.

Huang Zu was blind, but Kuai Liang was wise and wise. Wei Shi specifically mentioned Gan Ning's name in the hope that Gan Ning would fall into Liu Biao's eyes as soon as possible.

The more Gan Ning is used by Liu Biao, the less likely he is to defect to Sun Quan.

After Wei Shi had a conversation with Kuai Liang, he took Zhou Buyi, Han Qiang and others back on the boat.

At this time, Liu Bei and Mi Zhen had returned to Xinye early. This was not because Liu Bei did not want to stay in Xiangyang, but because Liu Biao was very wary of this clan uncle. As soon as he received the warning about Cao Cao's southern expedition, he urged Liu Bei

Return quickly.

——

Fangling.

Liao Hua, Shi Tao, Lou Gui and other generals and staff from the three eastern counties were waiting at the ferry early when they heard Wei Shi's return.

"Master Fu, I have received a letter from Gongwei. Liu Xiong's Nanshan bandits have crossed Shangluo. These bandits relied on their familiarity with the terrain to attack the pass from the mountain hunting trails. Our local soldiers cannot stop them, so they can only retreat to Junshan temporarily."

As soon as they met, Liao Hua gave Wei Shi bad news.

Liu Xiong was a medicine collector, and the Nanshan bandits under his command were, like him, familiar with the hunting trails in the Qinling Mountains.

The Neixiang soldiers under Meng Jian's command numbered only more than 500, and they could only guard the passes on the official roads. They could not take care of the hunting trails scattered throughout the mountains and forests.

"Master Lou, Brother Shi, hit the snake seven inches. This time the Xiliang bandits and Nanshan bandits are coming. We are too busy to take care of ourselves. We dare not do anything to them?"

"However, they thought wrong. I, Wei Shi, even dared to kill Cao Jun's generals, so how could I be afraid of fighting?"

"Yuanjian, please return to the army quickly and select capable soldiers who dare to fight. In addition, you can tell Hou Yin that among his Xiong'er Mountain tribe, if there are any soldiers from relevant backgrounds, pick them all out for me and prepare for the expedition."

Wei Shi issued repeated orders to quickly mobilize troops in Dongsan County, preparing to go north to Guanzhong and seize Aoguan and Lantian. Only by controlling the entire Wuguan Road in his hands can the safety of the northern part of Dongsan County be guaranteed.

"Master Fu, there are only 3,000 soldiers going north, is that too little?" Shi Tao attended Wei Shijun's military meeting for the first time. When he heard the number of troops sent, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

"Brother Shi, it's not about the number of soldiers, it's about the quality. Liao Hua and Hou Yin are very familiar with the terrain of Shangluo Mountain and Funiu Mountain. Liang Xing and Liu Xiong thought they were local snakes, which is a big mistake."

"In addition, Zhang Baiqi's unit of the Black Mountain Army is crisscrossing the territory of Guan and Mian. Zhang Baiqi has cooperated with the two generals Liao and Hou in the past. This time we go north to attack Guanzhong. We can contact them and draw support.

"

Wei Shi replied with a confident smile.

This time he was going north, and he planned to lead Liao Hua and Hou Yin, plus Wei Cheng, Guo Peng and other personal soldiers, a total of three thousand generals.

The remaining 5,000 soldiers were left to Wei Yan and Wei Gong, mainly to deal with Yang Ren and Shen Yi. With Mulan Sai's nine dangerous passes, I believe Wei Yan can ensure Shangyong's safety.

As for Fangling, there is no need to worry now.

This trip to Jingzhou gained Liu Biao's initial approval, and the estrangement between them was eliminated a lot. There is no need to worry about Liu Biao's sudden changes for the time being.

On March 10, Wei Shi, in the name of the governor of Fangling, led the elite troops of the three counties to go on an expedition.

At the swearing-in meeting, Wei Shi wrote a letter from Lou Gui to warn against the group of bandits who had confused Guanzhong.

In fact, people like Liang Xing and Liu Xiong were not in Wei Shi's vision.

Even for Zhong Yao, the minister who was stationed in Chang'an, Wei Shi only thought that he had a great reputation and was outstanding in tactics, but he did not think that he was very powerful in fighting.

When Wei Shi went north to Guanzhong, his real opponents were the two Xiliang princes, Han Sui and Ma Teng.

Han Sui had his son-in-law Yan Xing under his command.

Under Ma Teng's command were his son Ma Chao and his general Pang De.

When it comes to the bravery of generals, there are Hou Xuan, Yang Qiu, Li Kan, Zhang Heng, Cheng Yi, Ma Wan and others in the Xiliang army. It can be said that there are many fierce generals.
