Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

chapter 659

"My lord! This battle has been completely won!"

After entering Wuwei City, Xu Shu said to Liu Wei with a smile in the county office.

"Hey! Although I won the victory, I can't let go of the stone in my heart!"

Although Midang, Yueji, Ehe Shaoge, Yadan and all the leaders of the Qiang people bowed their heads after a complete victory, Liu Wei still frowned and sighed.

Xu Shu naturally knew what Liu Wei was worried about, so he comforted Liu Wei: "My lord, it's a blessing or a disaster. If it's a disaster, you can't avoid it. It's useless for you to worry about it! Let's think about how to arrange Xiliang!"

"Well, that's fine!"

Liu Wei lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head to look at Xu Shu and said, "No matter what, I have to go back to Hebei. How about Yuan Zhi sorting out the funeral for me here?"

"what?"

Xu Shu was taken aback and opened his mouth wide.

"Why, isn't Yuanzhi willing to stay here?"

Xu Shu said with a bitter face: "My lord, didn't you say that Ma Dai and Pang De are enough to guard Xiliang? Why do you want me to stay here?"

"Huh? No, Ma Dai and Pang De defected to me just now. It's hard to draw a dragon and a tiger. I don't know the heart when I know people. I don't worry about keeping them here. In case Ma Chao escapes back to Xiliang , if Ma Dai and Pang De'an are loyal to me, they will definitely remember their old relationship and immediately take over as their master again, so isn't my hard work making wedding dresses for others?"

After Liu Wei finished speaking, he raised his head to look at Xu Shu, saw Xu Shu drooping his head and didn't speak, so he knew that Xu Shu meant that he didn't want to stay in Xiliang, so he said, "It's really not suitable for you to stay in Xiliang! "

Xu Shu hurriedly raised his head and replied, "My lord is right!"

Seeing Xu Shu's attitude, Liu Wei couldn't help laughing: "Hahahaha! You, you, were really led by Guo Fengxiao. You were an honest and honest person, but now you are playing tricks with me!"

Xu Shu hurriedly said, "Yuan Zhi dare not!"

Liu Wei didn't deliberately make it difficult for Xu Shu, so he asked, "Okay, since you don't want to stay in Xiliang, then you can recommend someone to me, and I'll see if there is any suitable candidate!"

Xu Shu was very happy that he didn't have to stay in Xiliang. After thinking about it, he answered, "Li Zhengfang is brave and resourceful. He is good at commanding troops in battle. He also knows how to train troops. He can stay in Xiliang to guard!"

"Li Yan?"

Liu Wei bowed his head and considered for a moment, then said: "Although Li Yan is a general, he has a somewhat impatient personality. It is okay to lead troops to fight, but it is not appropriate to stay on the side!"

"In my lord's opinion, who should be left behind?"

Xu Shu asked.

Liu Wei said slowly: "In my opinion, Wei Yan and Huo Jun can be kept! Huo Jun is good at defending the city, and Wen Chang knows how to train soldiers and is a general who guards one side. It is enough for them to stay in Xiliang! Yuan Zhi How do you feel?"

"My lord, if you say that you have a hot temper, I'm afraid Wenchang is even more irritable than Li Zhengfang! Besides, Wenchang is arrogant, and Liu Wenchang may be on a business trip in Xiliang!"

Xu Shu said.

"No, no, it seems that although Yuan Zhi is good at using soldiers, he is not good at knowing people! I won't explain too much to you, so I will leave Wen Chang here. As for whether Wen Chang can defend Xiliang, that's up to him. Just wait and see!"

"Here!"

Now that Liu Wei had made his decision, Xu Shu couldn't say anything more.

That night, the soldiers and horses chasing the defeated Qiang soldiers all returned to Wuwei City one after another.

Liu Wei ordered to bring out good food and wine, so that all the armed forces can drink to their heart's content.

When the wine was half drunk, Liu Wei opened his mouth and said to the generals: "Since Xiliang has been settled, we won this Liangzhou in addition to Hebei, so naturally we can't give up this Xiliang, but this king can't guard it here personally. Therefore, I decided to send someone here to be the prefect of Xiliang!"

Hearing Liu Wei's words, all the generals put down the bowls, chopsticks and wine glasses in their hands, and all looked at Liu Wei.

After a pause, Liu Wei suddenly said, "Wei Yan!"

Wei Yan hurriedly stood up, saluted Liu Wei and said, "The last general is here!"

"Are you willing to be the prefect of Xiliang? Guard Xiliang for this king!"

Wei Yan replied loudly: "The general is willing to share the Lord's worries!"

"it is good!"

Liu Wei nodded in satisfaction, and then asked: "Since you are willing, then you can choose a deputy. If you are not satisfied with all the people present, you can also choose one in Hebei, and I will definitely give it to you." Bring it!"

"this one!"

Wei Yan glanced around, watched all the generals present, stopped at Huo Jun's place for a while, and then said to Liu Wei: "The last general begs the lord, General Huo, to stay and help me!"

Liu Wei was immediately happy, and said in his heart that you and I have a good understanding, and this king thinks so too.

"Huo Jun! Are you willing to stay and guard Xiliang with Chief Wen?"

Huo Jun also stood up and clasped his fists at Liu Wei: "The general is willing!"

"Ok!"

Liu Weixin said that these two boys are really good, they both gave me face, and neither of them procrastinated.

But it is not enough to just say that he is willing to stay, Liu Wei has to test whether they can really defend Xiliang for him, so he asked: "I ask you, if Cao Cao leads an army to attack, how will you resist?"

Huo Jun didn't speak, but looked at Wei Yan, meaning that you are the main general staying in Xiliang, so you have to tell.

Wei Yan arched his hands at Liu Wei: "My lord, if Cao's army comes to invade, and there are few soldiers coming, I will lead the army to repel them. If there are many soldiers, I will defend the city to the death and hold them back for the lord. Lead the army across the Yellow River and capture Cao's territory!"

Liu Wei asked again: "Then what if Liu Zhang sends troops to attack?"

Wei Yan replied: "Liu Zhang is weak, and his men are all incompetent soldiers. No matter how many soldiers and horses come to attack, I will definitely defeat the Shu army!"

"Well, good! What if Liu Zhang and Cao Cao come to commit the crime together?"

Liu Wei continued to ask.

"I led the army to resist Cao Cao, Zhong Miao led the army to resist Liu Zhang, guard the pass, and divide the troops to resist!"

"Impossible!"

Liu Wei hurriedly said: "This time I can only leave you [-] soldiers and horses, and all the Qiang people in Xiliang have been slaughtered by us, and there are few Han people, so you can gather [-] soldiers and horses at most. How can you resist Cao Cao and Liu Zhang attacking together? If they really come, you can write me a book first, and then lead the army to retreat north, and I will send someone to meet you!"

Wei Yan opened his mouth and replied: "The last general will take orders! But don't worry, my lord, I will definitely recruit this soldier and horse! It depends on how much food my lord gives me!"

"You mean, how much food I give you, how many soldiers can you recruit?"

Liu Wei asked in surprise.

"That's right!"

"But where are you going to conscript?"

Liu Wei asked suspiciously.

Wei Yan replied: "My lord, there are many horse thieves from Wuwei to Zhangye to the west. If I destroy them, the source of troops will not be a problem. Moreover, from Zhangye to the west is the Western Region, and people from the Western Region can also be captured to join the army!"

"Although the method is good, you have to know that these people are rebellious and unruly, so it's not easy to discipline them!"

"My lord, don't worry, the general will find his own way!"
