Three Kingdoms: Heir of Wolong, my father-in-law is Guan Gong

Chapter 205 Zhuge Qiao seizes Anding County and erases the book to alienate Sima Yi (Pursuit)

Anding County.

The hot summer wind has not yet fully arrived, and there are still cool breezes on the mountain roads in the countryside.

A group of soldiers and horses walked slowly, as if they were traveling in the mountains and rivers, quite leisurely.

It was Zhuge Qiao and his party who quietly sent troops to Anding County after stealing Chencang City.

Zhuge Qiao held the reins with one hand and shook the feather fan with the other.

It's just that this feather fan is quite strange. Except for the feathers, which are goose feathers, the rest of the fan, including the grooves where the feathers are inserted, are made of iron.

If you remove the feathers, it looks vaguely like a frying pan in a certain survival game.

"Bosong, we have been wandering around in Anding County for more than ten days, and we have traveled less than two hundred miles so far."

"Are we here for a surprise attack on Anding County, or are we here for a vacation in Anding County?"

"How could I delay these beauties in the mountains?"

Zhuge Qiao smiled and said: "Old general, don't worry about the details!"

"These mountain people all call me General Tian and are willing to be my friend."

"If I hadn't refused quickly and become the host of the wedding, those young men in the mountains would have regarded me as an enemy who would fight for love."

"The beginning is not important, and the process is not important. The final result is the most important."

Zhuge Qiao scolded: "What city are you robbing? We are going to Yuezhi City as guests."

Last year's Northern Expedition, because Zhuge Qiao persuaded Zhuge Liang to change his strategy and gave up capturing Anding County and instead targeted Guo Huai, there was no response from the wealthy families in Anding County.

Huang Zhong was carrying a long spear and couldn't understand Zhuge Qiao's intention.

"However, if a real man only worries about fame but not success, why worry about not having a concubine."

"These Qiang and Hu Yicong moved inward to rely on them because they admired and feared the powerful Han people."

"There are many Qiang and Hu Yicong in Anding County, including Xiqiang people, Huns, and Xianbei people."

If you can instigate rebellion against the wealthy Yang family in Yuezhi City, it will be a profit.

"As the saying goes, we are all brothers within the four seas, and many friends have many paths."

When Huang Zhong saw Zhuge Qiao's nonsense, he couldn't help but raised his eyebrows: "You asked the mountain people if they have any unmarried and unmarried beauties. Can the mountain people not allow those beauties to marry them?"

"Just tell me honestly, what are we doing in Anding County?"

Zhuge Qiao resolutely said: "While Zhang He has not returned, seize Anding County!"

This time Zhuge Qiao detoured north of Liupanshui and walked all the way to the area where Qiang and Hu gathered, traveling ten or more miles a day. In addition to guarding the popular support of the Qiang and Hu tribes, he also intended to try his luck in Yuezhi City.

In the confrontation between Liu Bei and Cao Zhang at Wuzhangyuan, the winner could not be determined in a short time.

Zhuge Qiao said seriously: "Old General, you have misunderstood again."

"The only thing I feel guilty about is that the Cavalry General may not feel very comfortable."

Huang Zhongruo realized something: "So, Bosong, you have come all the way to the top of the mountain and forced the mountain people to receive you, in order to appease the Qiang and Hu people?"

"How can we control Anding County if we don't have the support of the people?"

Zhuge Qiao had plenty of time to wander around Anding County.

It is recorded in "The Biography of the Marquises of Xia" that during Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, Yang Tiao, a member of the Yang family in Anding, hijacked the people of Yuezhi City County to respond to Zhuge Liang.

Seeing Huang Zhong raise his eyebrows, Zhuge Qiao immediately changed his words: "Old general, don't you hear that 'attacking the heart is the top priority, attacking the city is the bottom priority, fighting with the heart is the top priority, and fighting with soldiers is the bottom priority'?"

"Who knew they would be mistaken and send me the most beautiful beauties, and some of them are in love with me from the top of the mountain."

"My original intention is that if there are beauties among the mountain people who are unmarried and unmatched, they can be betrothed to sons in the army."

“It’s hard to refuse such kindness!”

Huang Zhong glared: "You don't care about the beginning and the process, but you still care about my improper choice of words?"

Even if he couldn't instigate rebellion, Zhuge Qiao would still be at a loss.

"Cao Pi changed dynasties. It is impossible for these Qiang and Hu to truly attach themselves to the pseudo-Wei in a short period of time."

Later, because Ma Di was beheaded in Jieting, Cao Zhen went to Yuezhi City to quell the rebellion, and Yang Tiao chose to surrender to Cao Wei.

While he was talking, Mi Zhao returned from the front: "General, this place is less than thirty miles away from Yuezhi City. Do you want to rush troops to capture the city?"

"People in the mountains are related to each other. If I go to the previous family but not to the next family, these mountain people will mistakenly think that I am arrogant and rude."

Huang Zhong glared: "You bring five thousand soldiers as a guest, how dare those mountain people not be hospitable?"

"There are even beauties from the mountains who want to marry me."

"When I say beauties in the mountains, I also refer to unmarried women in the mountains. This is a polite and respectful term."

Zhuge Qiao smiled warmly: "The mountain people in Anding County are good at singing and dancing, and they are very hospitable."

Zhuge Qiao coughed a few times: "Old General, you use the word "forced" inappropriately!

Huang Zhong was helpless: "I don't understand the thoughts of you young people, so don't talk nonsense to me."

"However, with the caliber of the Hussars General, he will definitely not compete with me for the title of General of the Sky."

The purpose of traveling ten or more miles a day was to ensure that the Wudang Feijun had the physical strength to prevent Zhang He from suddenly running back to Anding County to kill him.

This time when he entered Anding County, Zhuge Qiao prepared a large amount of food and supplies.

The baggage trains were equipped with new farm tools and a large number of jacquard damasks, which could be used for bartering before the currency system was unified.

Why do the Qiang and Hu people on the top of the mountain sing and dance?

In addition to Zhuge Qiao having five thousand soldiers, it was also because Zhuge Qiao brought out farm tools and jacquard damask as gifts.

in short.

Zhuge Qiao used Anding County as the Silk Road.

When it comes to conquering the heart, Zhuge Qiao asked himself that he had never conquered anyone before.

As a later generation who has been influenced by the new society, even when painting pancakes, Zhuge Qiao painted bigger and more realistic cakes than the officials of Cao Wei.

In addition, the remaining power of the Han Dynasty was still there, but Cao Wei's influence on the Qiang and Hu was not enough, which allowed Zhuge Qiao to have a smooth journey with few obstacles.

Occasionally some blind bandits silently chose to leave after meeting Zhuge Qiao's five flying troops.

Outside Yuezhi City.

This is the settlement of the Anding branch of the Yang family in Anding County.

Yang Qiu, who was killed by Ma Chao, came from the Yang family in Anding County.

This is why Cao Cao kept Yang Qiu and restored Yang Qiu's title. The purpose was to let Yang Qiu use his influence among the Yang family in Anding County to appease the people of Anding County.

Arriving at the boundary of Yuezhi City, Zhuge Qiao repeated his old tricks.

He led five thousand flying troops to Yang's gathering place and ordered Wang Ping to submit a greeting card.

Five thousand Han soldiers suddenly appeared, frightening the wealthy Yang family in Anding County.

Who would bring five thousand soldiers and horses with them to pay their respects?

Are you sure this is a greeting?
Yang didn't dare to neglect.

After all, in the current conflict between Han and Wei, who knows what the purpose of these five thousand Han soldiers is?
In order not to offend, the Yang family sent Yang Tiao, a hero of the clan, to see Zhuge Qiao with gifts to find out Zhuge Qiao's intentions.

Seeing Yang Tiao coming to Baojia with a few cows, Zhuge Qiao greeted him enthusiastically: "Brother Yang, you have misunderstood."

"I heard that there is a wealthy Yang family in this month's branch city, which is a branch of the Hongnong Yang family. In terms of inheritance, it is more authentic than the Hongnong Yang family, so I came here specifically to visit."

"Cows are used for farming. If you lose one cow, you will have to cultivate hundreds of acres of land. What kind of cows are you giving?"

"I came to visit with all my heart."

When Yang Tiao listened to Zhuge Qiao's nonsense, his cheeks couldn't help but twitch.

Bringing five thousand soldiers and horses to visit my small Yuezhi City Yang family?
I dare not think that a branch of the Hongnong Yang family is more authentic than the Hongnong Yang family.

At most, they are related to their ancestors from hundreds of years ago.

"The general has harmed the common people. I wonder what I call the general?" Yang Tiao did not dare to ask Zhuge Qiao to call him brother.

Zhuge Qiao touched his palm and said, "Look at how excited I am. I even forgot to tell myself my family name when I met Brother Yang."

"I am just a villager from Langya. My surname is Zhuge and I only have the character Qiao. Brother Yang can call me Zhuge Xiandi or my cousin Bosong."

Zhuge Qiao?
Yang Tiao was stunned on the spot, and his tone became a little more urgent: "Are you Zhuge Qiao, the governor of Liangzhou in the Han Dynasty, the general who assisted the Han Dynasty, and the Qiang and Hu people in Longyou feared him like a god?"

Zhuge Qiao laughed and gently shook the feather fan in his hand: "Everyone praises me, but actually I'm not that impressive."

Promote love?

Whoever believes it is a fool!

Although Yuezhi City is remote, for a son of a wealthy family like Yang Tiao, Zhuge Qiao's reputation in Longyou is like thunder.

Meng Da, the governor of Cao Wei's western front, was captured alive, and Zhang Ji, the governor of Liangzhou, was captured alive. In just a few months, the Longyou Qiang and Hu people were awed like gods.

Even Zhang He, the general of the left, did not dare to look down upon Zhuge Qiao in the slightest.

What's even more frightening is that Zhuge Qiao is only eighteen years old now!

When Yang Tiao was eighteen years old, he didn't even have formal contact with family affairs.

"Yang Tiao, a humble citizen, pays homage to General Fu Han."

Yang Tiao did not dare to call Zhuge Qiao brother, so he quickly saluted again.

Zhuge Qiao saw this and stopped teasing.

Since Yang Tiao did not dare to call him brother, Zhuge Qiao naturally had to change his attitude to deal with it.

Just for a moment.

Zhuge Qiao's temperament changed.

The warmth just now suddenly became a bit more decisive.

"Let me tell you my purpose."

"The emperor of the Han Dynasty personally conquered Guanzhong, determined to win."

"I want to hear the truth whether the soldiers and people in Zhicheng are prepared to die for the puppet Wei this month, or to respond to the Han."

Yang Tiao couldn't help being shocked, and his palms broke into cold sweat.

This change of face is too fast.

Yang Tiao hesitated.

After all, such a major matter involving the survival of the family cannot be decided lightly.

"General Fu Han, please forgive the rudeness of the common people. The common people have no control over this matter." Yang Tiao gritted his teeth and observed the changes in Zhuge Qiao's expression as he spoke.

Zhuge Qiao waved. Wang Ping brought a wooden plate with jacquard damask.

Zhuge Qiao gestured with his hand: "Mr. Yang, why don't you appreciate it?"

Yang Tiao didn't know why, but he still took a piece of jacquard silk brocade and looked at it carefully.

The more Yang Tiao admired it, the more shocked he became: "I have never seen the pattern of this brocade!"

Zhuge Qiao introduced: "This is Longyou's latest jacquard brocade, which has not yet been officially sold to the outside world."

"Mr. Yang, since you have heard of my reputation in Longyou, you should also understand who I am."

“I don’t like to fish for the best, I prefer to pursue a win-win situation in everything.”

"To the north of Yuezhi City, almost everything is bordered by the Qiang and Hu. The Qiang and Hu nobles are very fond of the silk and satin from the Central Plains."

"This kind of jacquard damask currently has more than a dozen different patterns, which are enough to meet the needs of different Qiang and Hu nobles."

"If the people of Yue Zhi City respond to the Han Dynasty, I can sell the jacquard silk brocade to the Yang family at a low price. As for how you price the Qiang and Hu nobles, it depends on your ability."

"Of course, with the character of the Qiang and Hu nobles, they also have a more direct way, and that is to rob!"

"I will never condone this type of deal-breaking behavior."

"I don't have much ability, and I only know some basic battle formation skills, but I am still confident in dealing with the Qiang and Hu nobles north of Yuezhi City."

At this point, Zhuge Qiao's ambition gradually emerged.

The surprise attack on Anding County was obviously to find a market for the jacquard damask brocade, and by the way, a dealer was found.

Yang Tiao spoke urgently: "General Fu Han, I wonder how many jacquard brocades like this you have?"

Seeing Yang Tiao's interest, Zhuge Qiao smiled and said: "It's not too much at the moment. It takes time to make the new weaving machine of Twelve Tiao. It also takes time to teach the Weaver Girl to use the new weaving machine of Twelve Tiao."

"However, Mr. Yang, you can rest assured. As long as this Yongliang belongs to a big man, I can give you as much jacquard damask as you want."

Yang Tiao's attention fell on the "Twelve-foot new damask weaving machine" and he looked at Zhuge Qiao in surprise: "These are usually Fifty-foot damask weaving machines with fifty warp threads, or sixty warp threads." The sixty-six loom.

"It takes at least a month to weave a piece of colorful damask. General Fu Han, you actually have a twelve-piece silk weaving machine? Doesn't that mean you can weave a piece of colorful damask in a few days?"

Zhuge Qiao gently touched his palm: "Mr. Yang's mental arithmetic skills are admirable."

Yang Tiao was shocked in his heart.

Comparing weaving a piece of flower damask in a month with weaving a piece of flower damask in a few days is like a mortal encountering a miracle!
"But Zhang He has 20,000 troops in Anding County." Yang Tiao hesitated.

The profit from jacquard damask was too great for Yang Tiao to refuse; but Zhang He's 20,000 troops frightened Yang Tiao.

The Yang family in Yuezhi City is just a wealthy family, not a warlord. It is impossible to directly resist Zhang He's 20,000 troops!

"Zhang He, you can't come back!"

The faint words shocked Yang Tiao.

Seeing Yang Tiao's surprise and uncertainty, Zhuge Qiao added: "Zhang He met his old rival in Chencang, the Han chariot general Zhang Fei."

"If Zhang He dares to withdraw his troops and return to Anding County, Zhang Cheqi will dare to chase Zhang He into Anding County."

"I was waiting for work in Anding County, and I was surrounded and killed by Zhang Chariot. Those 20,000 soldiers were the turtle in the urn."

"Based on Zhang He's strategy, it is not difficult to guess the danger of returning to Anding County, so I predict that he will not choose to return to Anding County, but will choose to join forces with Cao Zhang."

"Then we will deploy heavy troops in the northwest of Chang'an to prevent me from sneaking into Chang'an via the Jingshui River."

Zhuge Qiao slowly explained Zhang He's response, which made Yang Tiao even more frightened.

The young general in front of him was so calm and calm that he regarded Zhang He's 20,000 troops as if they were nothing!
Is this kind of calm demeanor really something an eighteen-year-old boy can possess?

Yang Tiao couldn't help but think of the former champion Hou Huo Qubing, who was also such a genius!

"I will go back to persuade everyone. I can only guarantee that if Zhang He really cannot return to Anding County, Yuezhi City will respect the Han Dynasty."

"But if Zhang He returns, Yuezhi City will have no choice but to surrender to the puppet Wei again in order to protect itself."

Yang Tiao was very realistic and candid.

And this frankness is exactly what Zhuge Qiao needs.

As Zhuge Qiao said just now, Zhuge Qiao doesn't like to fish for all, but prefers a win-win situation.

Forcing the wealthy people of Yuezhi City to do things they cannot do is trampling on the hearts of the wealthy people of Yuezhi City.

Zhuge Qiao also responded realistically and honestly: "I also promise that if Zhang He returns to Anding County, let alone you defect to the puppet Wei again, even if you help Zhang He capture me, I will not blame you at all."

"Zi Jun, leave three carts of jacquard brocade to Mr. Yang as my meeting gift to Mr. Yang."

When Yang Tiao saw that Zhuge Qiao had left behind three carts of jacquard brocade with a wave of his hand, he couldn't help but swallowed: "General Fu Han, I can't accept this. I have to go back to the clan to persuade everyone."

Zhuge Qiao laughed: "I believe Mr. Yang will not disappoint me. I have to go to Linjing City, so I won't stay here."

"After I take Linjing City, Mr. Yang can send someone to confirm whether Zhang He has returned, and then come to Jingcheng to discuss with me."

Under Yang Tiao's shocked eyes, Zhuge Qiao left three carts of jacquard brocade and led his troops to Linjing City.

Come and go.

Looking at the three carts of jacquard damask, Yang Tiao couldn't help but swallowed again.

With these three carts of jacquard damask here, it wouldn't take much effort to go back and persuade everyone.

The conditions given by Zhuge Qiao were also very loose. There was no need to rush to swear allegiance, confirm that Zhang He had not returned to Anding County, and then raise the flag to respond.

This almost avoids Yang's risks!
Seeing the speed of the march, Huang Zhong was a little surprised: "Bosong, aren't you going to worship at the top of the mountain?"

Zhuge Qiao said with a smile: "Linjing City is thirty miles away from here, and if we worship at the top of the mountain, He may really come back."

"While Linjing City is empty, capture it first and cut off Zhang He's return path!"

Zou Qi, the governor of Anding, once served as the governor of Liangzhou when Cao Pi divided the counties in Hexi and established Liangzhou.

However, Zou Qi was already reluctant to be the governor of Anping, and he was beyond his ability to be the governor of Liangzhou. As soon as he became the governor of Liangzhou, he encountered the rebellion of Qu Yan and Zhang Jin, and Huang Hua, Zhiyuan Duo and others started to rebel. Big disturbance in Hexi.

Cao Pi then changed Zhang Ji to be the governor of Liangzhou, and still made Zou Qi the prefect of Anding.

When Zhuge Qiao's five flying troops suddenly appeared in Linjing City, Zou Qi was completely confused.

Before Zhang He left, he indeed ordered Zou Qi to beware of Longyou's troops.

however.

Zou Qi focused his attention on the Jing River south of Linjing City, and also set up beacon towers along the Jing River.

Even Qu Yan and Zhang Jin couldn't put down the rebellion. It makes sense that Zou Qi was poor in ability.

Zhang He led his army outside, but Zou Qi also set up a beacon tower at Jingshui. He placed his troops and horses in the city and deployed scouts on the four strategic roads to prevent surprise troops and horses.

Zou Qi just wanted to show off his cleverness and had no defense against the north.

So much so that Zhuge Qiao traveled all the way from the Qiang and Hu lands in the north for more than ten days, and then when he made a surprise attack on Linjing City in Zuoyuezhi City, Zou Qi almost didn't even have time to react before Zhuge Qiao broke into the city.

"Are you Zou Qi?"

"Compared to Zhang Ji, you are really a waste."

"You make me feel very unfulfilled."

"To give you a chance to live, send a letter to Sima Zhongda of Martial Arts Water for me."

Zhuge Qiao threw a letter in Zou Qi's face.

Zou Qi was a little stunned: "General, does he know you servant shooting?"

Zhuge Qiao sneered: "How come you don't know each other? In the past, when the Han River was demarcated, His Majesty and Cao Cao were reminiscing about the past at the Han River. I also had a very pleasant conversation with Sima Zhongda."

"Although Sima Zhongda and I are our own masters, I also admire his talents very much, especially his two sons. They are both extremely talented and rare heroes in the world."

"Speaking of which, I am only four years older than Master Sima. I don't know who is higher or lower than me."

"If I have the chance, I would like to compete with Master Sima in the future."

"If I hadn't asked Zhang Ji to send a letter to Sima Zhongda last time without any feedback, how could I have let you, a loser, deliver the letter for me?"

"You guys, why are you asking such a question?"

"Sima Zhongda and I are our own masters, and we cherish each other's hearts. Heroes cherish heroes. How can a loser like you understand?"

"Zijun, drag him out of the city."

"If this guy tricked me, he won't return his family."

"If I don't see Sima Zhongda's reply, the thief must be careless and will chop off his entire family."

Zou Qi was shocked, and when he was about to speak, Wang Ping dragged him away without giving Zou Qi a chance to say a word.

Huang Zhong was puzzled: "Bosong, if you let Zou Qi go, Chang'an will definitely be prepared. How can we make a surprise attack?"

Zhuge Qiao shook his feather fan and didn't care about letting Zou Qi go: "Old general, don't be anxious, now is not the opportunity to surprise Chang'an."

"Letting Zou Qi go, I just want to use the unfinished divorce plan last time again."

"When I broke into Jincheng, I asked Zhang Ji to deliver a letter to Sima Yi and also asked Zhang Ji to deliver a message to Sima Yi, but my plan to alienate was discovered by Zhang Ji."

"So far there has been no news that Cao Zhang is at odds with Sima Yi. Zhang Ji must have met Sima Yi in private."

"That's why I deliberately humiliated Zou Qi and mentioned Zhang Ji's letter just to make Cao Zhang suspicious of Sima Yi."

"If Sima Yi didn't help Cao Zhang, how could a little Huang Xuer be your Majesty's opponent?"

Huang Zhong suddenly realized: "Although Cao Zhang is the governor of the Western Front, he is far less trusted by Cao Pi than Meng Da. Cao Pi does not trust Cao Zhang and specially appointed Sima Yi as the supervisor of the army."

"If Cao Zhang is suspicious of Sima Yi, he will definitely act behind Sima Yi's back. This will not only provide His Majesty with opportunities to fight, but will also make Cao Zhang jealous of Cao Pi."

"If Bo Song's alienation plan succeeds, it will not only be Cao Zhang and Sima Yi who are alienated, but also Cao Zhang and Cao Pi."

"It is a taboo for military strategists to doubt themselves!"

"Bosong, I find that your tricks are becoming more and more insidious."

"The Prime Minister has always been upright and disdainful of using such tricks."

Zhuge Qiao said calmly: "Old General, as the eldest son of the Prime Minister, I am very happy if you praise the Prime Minister. Like father, like son, so take it as you are praising me."

Huang Zhong glared like a tiger: "Bosong, I didn't praise you!"

Zhuge Qiao laughed and said, "Don't worry about the details. Now that Anding County has been won, the people and letters to alienate Sima Yi have been sent out. It all depends on how Cao Zhang will deal with it."

Huang Zhong snorted: "I have no interest in Sima Yi. I just want to capture Chang'an City."

"Bosong, you promised me that you would let me board Chang'an City. I have been accompanying you on the expedition for a year."

Since the expedition last year, Huang Zhong has been following Zhuge Qiao, just to be able to board Chang'an City.

Now that he is getting closer to Chang'an City, Huang Zhong is becoming more and more uneasy, fearing that his first contribution to the city will be robbed.

Zhuge Qiao stood up and looked in the direction of Chang'an City, smiling confidently: "Old General, if I can capture Chencang, I can capture Chang'an City!"
