The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Outside the city, Cao Jun, who was pretending to be Mengshuo, was still clamoring, and Cheng Yi was at a loss.Because of killing Jiang Jiong, the soldiers in Tianshui County hated and feared Cheng Yi.What he hates is that Cheng Yi kills good people in vain, and what he fears is that if he doesn't know what he did wrong, he will end up like Jiang Jiong.Except for the eunuch who had no choice but to, the rest of the Tianshui County officials could hide as far as they could, and they were no longer willing to get close to Cheng Yi.

On that afternoon, Meng Shuo organized people to attack tentatively.Tianshui City's defense is fairly solid.Of course, except for the northeast corner.Due to the land subsidence in the northeast corner, a piece of the city wall was almost peeled off from the main city, hanging tremblingly outside the city wall.Meng Shuo checked carefully, as long as he used Long Fei's gunpowder, it only took a little bit to blow up the city wall to pieces.

The prefect of Tianshui also knew the hidden dangers of the city wall, but he didn't dare to say it, for fear that Cheng Yi would kill himself too.In order to cooperate with Chengyi, the prefect specially picked up nice words to say.Cheng Yi said that Cao Jun would never be able to enter Tianshui City, so the prefect said that Tianshui City was as solid as gold.Cheng Yi said that his soldiers and horses were unparalleled in the world, and the prefect said that Cheng Yi was the number one general in the world.The two talked to each other while drinking in the subordinate yamen, and the scene was peaceful and happy.

But in Jiang Wei's home, it was full of grief.Because Jiang Jiong's death was a huge blow to the Jiang family.The Jiang surname is a common surname in Tianshui.According to legend, Jiangshui, the birthplace of Emperor Yan Shennong, belongs to the surname of the city where he lived.Qishui runs east to the city named Jiang, and to the south is Jiangshui, which means that Jiangshui is a part of Qishui.As for Qishui, it is the birthplace of Emperor Yan of Shennong, one of the Three Emperors.Because it is close to Jiangshui, Jiang is the surname, which has been passed down from generation to generation.At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the nobles moved to Guanzhong, and then lived in Tianshui.This is the main source of Tianshui Jiang's surname.According to this calculation, the surname Jiang has a history of 400 years in Tianshui. If it is calculated from Emperor Yan, thousands of years is not a problem.

Although the Jiang family is not considered a big family in Tianshui, it is also a force that should not be underestimated.As the head of the family, Jiang Jiong was killed for no reason, which aroused great indignation within the Jiang family.Especially Jiang Wei's two good cousins, Jiang Wen and Jiang Wu [Note].One of these two is calm and sophisticated, and the other is bold.Together with Jiang Wei, they are called the Three Tigers of the Jiang Family.

Looking at the solemn mourning hall.Jiang Wu shouted: "Brother! Let's kill that kid and avenge uncle! When did our Jiang family get bullied like this?"

Jiang Wen glanced at Jiang Wu: "You know how to fight and kill, can you use your brain? He is a general sent by Han Sui, and he has tens of thousands of soldiers under his command. Kill as soon as you say! The overall plan is thorough." OK."

Jiang Wei turned his head, his eyes were red, and the two of them stopped talking immediately.Looking at Jiang Wen and Jiang Wu, Jiang Wei said to them, "You two come to my room tonight!"

It was already dark, and Jiang Jiong's coffin was quietly placed in the Jiang family's hall.The swaying flames jumped up and down, a gust of wind blew in from outside the door, and the flames of the candles flickered rapidly.Jiang Wei hastily stretched out his hand to cover it.After three heavy kowtows to the spirit seat, Jiang Wei straightened up: "Father! Don't worry, I will avenge this revenge for you. Not only will Cheng Yi be torn to pieces, but Han Sui will also pay the price!"

Jiang Wen and Jiang Wu walked into Jiang Wei's room, and Jiang Wei was waiting for them.Looking at Jiang Wei's gloomy face, Jiang Wudao: "Brother, tell me, what should I do? I will definitely follow you!"

Jiang Wei glanced at Jiang Wen: "What do you think?"

Jiang Wendao: "It's easy to kill Cheng Yi, as long as we sneak into the government office and kill him, it will be over, but our Jiang family will be in trouble, those soldiers and horses under him will never let us go, if not only There is only one way to keep our family safe and sound after leaving Cheng Yi..."

When the words reached a critical point, Jiang Wen suddenly stopped and looked at Jiang Wei with a serious expression.Jiang Wu exclaimed: "Oh! If you want to speak, you should be more open-minded. You always say half a sentence like this and leave half a sentence behind. People who listen are anxious."

Jiang Wen smiled, lowered his voice, and poked his head out: "The army horses outside the city are under the banner of Cao Jun Xia Houyuan, but I think they are the troops of the Long Army! Long Fei took Hanzhong easily, and with Ma Chao's help, Xiliang will sooner or later with their strength. Changing hands, if we want to solve this matter completely, we can only go to Long Fei and use Long Fei's troops to avenge us!"

Jiang Wu nodded: "Well, that's a good idea. Even if they want to track down the people who drive away Han Sui, they can't help it! And when Long Fei makes contributions, you and I will be meritorious officials. They are much better than the captains of this county! I think it is good!"

Jiang Wei's mind kept turning. Jiang Wen and Jiang Wu couldn't figure out what he was thinking about.It has been like this since childhood, Jiang Wei is better than Jiang Wen in terms of mind, and better than Jiang Wu in terms of martial arts.Even the combination of two people is not Jiang Wei's opponent.After a long time, Jiang Wei looked at Jiang Wen and Jiang Wu and said, "Tomorrow, you two will find a way to go out of the city to contact Long Jun. Since you have decided to join us and don't show our ability, how can you gain a foothold under Long Fei?"

The next day, Jiang Wei suddenly appeared in the yamen regardless of his father's mortuary at home.The prefect hurriedly pulled Jiang Wei aside, and persuaded him with good words, letting him put aside his differences temporarily and defeat Cao Jun outside the city together because of his status as a fellow Han Sui courtier.As long as Tianshui can be kept, the prefect is willing to pay Jiang Wei out of his own pocket.

Instead of getting angry, Jiang Wei smiled lightly: "Don't worry, my lord, I do things properly!"

When they came to the lobby, Cheng Yi was arranging defensive matters.Jiang Wei cupped his fists and cupped his hands: "General, the last general came late because of something at home, please make atonement!"

"En!" Cheng Yi didn't dare to look at Jiang Wei, but just nodded and signaled Jiang Wei to sit down.Everyone sat down, and Cheng Yi assigned tasks.Because of Yang Qiu's death, Yang Qiu's [-] soldiers and horses were also classified as suitable for mobilization.Currently Tianshui City has a total of [-] soldiers and horses, of which Cheng Yi is in charge of [-], and the remaining [-] are county soldiers.Perhaps because Cheng Yi felt ashamed, Cheng Yi promoted Jiang Wei to the rank of Zhonglang General, commanding five thousand soldiers.

Cheng Yi patted Jiang Wei on the shoulder: "You are a talent that can be made, and when this battle is over, I will definitely recommend it to the lord!"

Jiang Wei bowed his hands in thanks, and the two seemed to have put aside their father-killing feud, at least temporarily.Cheng Yi is also a man of the city. He has already found out who this Jiang Wei is from the prefect. Let Jiang Wei lead the county soldiers to isolate Jiang Wei.Only by isolating it can it be slowly cleaned up.Not only that, Cheng Yi put all the county soldiers in the city, clearly for the sake of law and order, but in fact it was for surveillance.

Jiang Wei also performed well and never mentioned his father again.He stopped talking to anyone he met, led his soldiers and horses to patrol the streets every day, and kept himself safe.Strangely, the Cao army outside the city stopped attacking. They surrounded Tianshui and confronted each other like this.After seven days, it was the day of Jiang Jiong's burial.This incident stumped Tianshui prefect.

The funeral customs of the Han people are mainly buried in the ground, as the so-called burial is safe.The Jiang family's ancestral grave is outside the city, and now the two families are at war, opening the city gate to let so many people out would be very risky.In case the military horses outside the city took advantage of the situation and entered, ten Tianshui cities could not be kept.Jiang Wei begged the prefect, but there was no result, so he had to ask for a deal.Cheng Yi was about to get angry when he heard that, looking into Jiang Wei's eyes, he could only suppress the move.

"Lieutenant Jiang, we are fighting now. It is dangerous to go out of the city to bury a person. If the people of the Long Army know the situation and be used by them, we will be hard to resist." Cheng Yi is very polite this time. From the outside, Jiang Weicai It's the general, and he, Cheng Yi, is a student who did something wrong.Seeing that Jiang Wei didn't speak, Cheng Yi said, "Why don't we choose a geomantic treasure in this city, and I'll go to pay homage to it in person! What do you think?"

Jiang Weidao: "Our Jiang family men have been buried in ancestral graves since ancient times. I dare not break this rule. I ask the general to fulfill it!"

Cheng Yi quickly helped Jiang Wei up: "Since we can't be buried in the city, we can only wait until Cao Jun is defeated."

Jiang Wei still didn't move: "As long as the general agrees, I will coordinate the matter with Cao Jun. I implore the general to give me a chance. My father can't be put in the ancestral grave after his death."

This plan hit Cheng Yi's heart.It could be heard that Jiang Wei still had some anger in his chest.It is true that he was wrong about killing Jiang Jiong, and he is willing to make up for it from the bottom of his heart.After thinking for a long time, one is Tianshui, and he still has [-] troops in his hand, and the other is that Jiang Wei is also from Tianshui, so he can't just watch Cao Jun enter his homeland.After considering several aspects, Cheng Yi sighed: "Okay! Then I will give you an hour. If you fail to close the city gate in time, you should know the consequences!"

That night, Jiang Wen and Jiang Wu also brought back news of Meng Shuo.Speaking of the Dragon Army, Jiang Wu was eloquent, talking about the might of the Dragon Army clearly and logically, as if he was now a member of the Dragon Army.Jiang Wei interrupted him: "Get down to business! How did you answer?"

Jiang Wendao: "On the opposite side is the Mengshuo Legion, one of Long Fei's four personal guards. He seems a little distrustful of our defection, but he promised that as long as we do it, he will respond, and at the same time allows us to send our family to his camp! only……"

"It's coming again!" Jiang Wudao: "Hurry up and say, don't but, but!"

"It's just that I'm worried that Long Jun will deceive us. Their goal is not Tianshui, but to provoke a war between Tianshui and Cao Jun!" , they betrayed their promises, we are doomed!"

Jiang Wei nodded: "I have thought about this too. It is because they want to provoke a war between Han Sui and Cao Jun that they pretend to be Cao Jun and ask you, do you dare to bet with me?"

"Hahaha!" Jiang Wu laughed loudly: "How to bet? Bet on things or bet on life?"

Jiang Wei looked at Jiang Wen and Jiang Wu with a serious expression, "Not only bet on the lives of the three of you and me, but also the lives of our entire Jiang family!"

Note: I only know that the surname Jiang is the largest surname in Tianshui area, but there is no record of Jiang Wei's family.Jiang Wen and Jiang Wu are fabricated by the author.
