In the Shu army tent, Tianyang and Jiang Wei stood at the front, followed by Hei Guang, Dongfang Fengfu, Hong En, Xia Xiaomo, Zhang Yuzhen, Chen Shi, and Wu Ming. On both sides of the tent stood the people who followed Zhuge Liang in the northern expedition, and Zhuge Liang was at the front of the tent.
"Generals, Tianyang, Jiang Boyue, and the others were deeply inspired by the great righteousness of reviving the Han Dynasty. They abandoned the darkness and turned to our army.”Zhuge Liang was in a good mood as he introduced Tian Yang and the others.
"Hmph, I wonder if they really want to surrender!”It was obvious that Yuan Chen still remembered what had happened before. Moreover, he still had a certain degree of vigilance against surrendered generals.
"I don't believe these people either!" Meng Yan's attitude was also very firm, he just didn't believe in a surrendered general.
"Sure enough, this is the fate of a surrendered general.”Jiang Wei thought to himself.
Hei Guang and the others secretly exchanged glances with each other. Their eyes revealed the same expression, which was helplessness.
Although he was mentally prepared, he did not expect to be targeted so miserably.
Even Tian Yang could not help but laugh bitterly in his heart. This bunch of people were really direct.
"If we use this standard, how many people here are trustworthy? Just like how General Meng had fought with the Prime Minister's army in the South.”At this moment, a general stood out and spoke up for Tian Yang and the others.
This general looked a little mature. The first impression he gave others was that he was very honest and sincere in his work. This was true.
Wang Ping was the name of this person. Perhaps he was not very famous in the history of the Three Kingdoms, but in the later period of the Three Kingdoms, he was also a rare talent in Shu Han.
In history, Wang Ping guarded Jieting with Ma Su during Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition. Later, he was highly regarded by Zhuge Liang and led the trump card army of Shu Han, Wu Dang Fei Army, to follow Zhuge Liang to the Northern Expedition many times. After Zhuge Liang died, he guarded Hanzhong. When Cao Shuang led 100,000 troops to attack Hanzhong, he was repelled by Wang Ping.
At that time, people said: There were Wang Ping and Ju Fu in front, Zhang Yi and Liao Hua behind.
Seeing Wang Ping stand up for them, Tian Yang and the others were slightly stunned.
And Meng Yan had a face full of anger, glaring at Wang Ping with a flushed face." Say it again if you have the guts!”
"Don't doubt the person you use. Shouldn't you admire the Prime Minister's magnanimity?”Wang Ping said fearlessly.
Seeing Wang Ping like this, even Hei Guang and the others couldn't help but have a good impression of Wang Ping.
Jiang Wei suddenly thought of something." Speaking of which, General Wang has also changed camps. No wonder he came out to speak up for me and Tian Yang. From the looks of it, he's the least hostile to us.”
"The battle in Ji City was really exciting. It has been a long time since I fought such an exciting battle. Moreover, Hei Guang's martial arts were also admirable. It was inevitable that General Zhao would lose.”
At this moment, Wei Yan also stood out to speak up for Tian Yang and the others. To be honest, he really hoped that Tian Yang and the others would join in because he could see that these guys were very courageous, especially Hei Guang and Jiang Wei.
Naturally, Wei Yan was curious about Tian Yang, who could make Hei Guang submit to him.
"It is my honor to be able to fight with the world-famous General Wei.”
Seeing that Wei Yan was speaking up for them, Jiang Wei cupped his hands in greeting.
Previously, Jiang Wei had been ambushed by Wei Yan on the way to Ji City and had even fought him one-on-one. Wei Yan admired Jiang Wei's martial arts skills, and so did Jiang Wei.
"If there is a chance, I still want to finish the unfinished duel with General Wei.”
Hei Guang saw Wei Yan praise him and knew that he had to be polite. However, it was not his personality to be polite to others, so he could only say this.
Wei Yan smiled at Jiang Wei and Hei Guang, then secretly glanced at Tian Yang. He had praised Hei Guang on purpose just now. From the first time he saw Tian Yang, he knew that Tian Yang's martial arts were not good at all. At most, he could fight with those third-rate generals. Wei Yan wanted to see if this guy who had convinced Hei Guang would be dissatisfied with his praise of Hei Guang, or show an expression of jealousy.
The result disappointed Wei Yan. Tian Yang was calm and did not show any dissatisfaction or jealousy. However, at the same time, it made him even more curious about Tian Yang.
"Hmph, you're using Jiang Wei and Hei Guang to belittle the Prime Minister again. How can I not know what you're thinking?”
Yang Yi, who had always disliked Wei Yan, thought this way. Her eyes often revealed a trace of disdain, which was seen by Ma Dai, who had been silent all this time.
Seeing this scene, even Ma Dai couldn't help but feel a headache. These two were both talents, yet they were fighting each other with hatred. It was truly a pity.
"After the introduction, let's discuss how to attack the heavenly water.”Zhuge Liang didn't listen to those who suspected the surrendered generals. He trusted Tian Yang and Jiang Wei very much because he understood their personalities after a few words. They weren't the kind of people who would easily deceive others, and it was meaningless.
Especially Tianyang, he didn't belong to Great Wei, let alone pretend to go to Shu Han for Great Wei.
"Prime Minister, Ma Su is willing to lead 3,000 elite soldiers to attack the remaining counties. Governor Ma Zun has already fled.”At this moment, Ma Su immediately stood up and took the lead to ask for instructions.
The appearance of Tian Yang and Jiang Wei, as well as Zhuge Liang's high regard for them, made Ma Su feel a sense of crisis. He felt that if he could not make some contributions, he would be outdone by these two.
"Youchang actually volunteered to go to the front line.”Zhuge Liang was also slightly surprised, but his eyes flickered with hesitation.
At this moment, Jiang Wei spoke," I wonder if the Prime Minister trusts Jiang Wei?”
"Oh? Please continue."
"Yi Shang and Jiang Wei are extremely close. He, Liang Xu, and the others are all wealthy clans of Tian Shui. As long as they are willing to surrender, it will be easy to persuade the other cities.”
"Alright, we'll follow Boyue's plan." Zhuge Liang nodded. It would be best if he could make Tian Shui surrender without a fight.
Jiang Wei went to Ji City alone to see Yi Shang and the others who were left behind. They immediately surrendered when they saw Jiang Wei. Under the leadership of Yin Shang, the counties of Tianshui gave up resisting and surrendered to the Shu Han Army. Zhuge Liang appointed Liang Xu as the prefect of Tianshui, Yin Shang as the magistrate of Jicheng, and Liang Qian as the magistrate of Shangyi. At this moment, the three counties of Longxi had officially surrendered to Shu Han, and the situation shook the entire Cao Wei.
Outside the Jicheng County Office, Jiang Wei and Yi Shang were sighing with emotion while Tian Yang was watching this scene with a speechless expression.
"I didn't expect that Boyue and I would join the Shu people.”Yi Shang couldn't help but say.
"I didn't expect to surrender to Shu Han either. I didn't feel that way when I was persuaded by brother Tianyang. Now that I think about it, it's still unbelievable.”Jiang Wei couldn't help but say so.
Tian Yang's lips twitched.'Are you two blaming me now? Seriously.'
"Hey, hey, hey, big brother Boyue, you can't say that, right? When we first joined, you either sternly rejected us, but now that I've convinced you, are you blaming me?”
"Of course not." Jiang Wei smiled and shook his head." When I first met you, I already felt that you would have great achievements in the future. Now is the time for you to show off your ambitions. Since you have persuaded me to surrender, I can only follow behind you and see how great your achievements will be."”
"Big brother Boyue, your words are too much for me. You must know that big brother Boyue's talent is countless times stronger than mine.”
Tian Yang really didn't want Jiang Wei to be his underling. After all, it was too unrealistic.
"Alright, stop talking about this and that.”Yi Shang interrupted their conversation and looked at Jiang Wei." Boyue, I'll help take care of your mother. I'll also look after my sister's grave." Just do what you want. This is the only thing I can help you with.”
"I've troubled you for a long time, Brother Yin.”Jiang Wei said with a touched expression.
"No, I should thank you for giving me, a timid and incompetent person, courage. If it wasn't for you, how could I have taken this step?”Yi Shang lightly shook his head and said.
"You two don't have to thank me here.”Tian Yang immediately interrupted the warm atmosphere between the two of them." In the future, everyone will be the subjects of the Great Han Dynasty. Let's work for the Great Han Dynasty together."”
" Mm." The two of them nodded heavily.
Looking at Jiang Wei and Yi Shang before him, Tian Yang thought to himself," Although I don't know how long I can maintain this relationship with Brother Boyue and Brother Yi, the only thing I know is that no matter what I do, I must not regret it.”
In the meeting hall of Shanggua City, a general stood at the head of the meeting hall, and another person who looked like a civil official was reporting the situation in Longxi to the general.
This general was Guo Huai, also known as Bo Ji, and the civil official was named Lu Zhi, also known as Shi Ying.
Guo Huai had already mentioned this before, so let's talk about Lu Zhi now.
Lu Zhi, also known as Shiying, was born in Yuxian County, Fufeng Prefecture. He was a famous minister in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
The Luzhi family had a good reputation for generations and was a wealthy family in the West Region. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, his father was killed by warlord Guo Si. Lu Zhi was homeless since childhood. At the age of seventeen, he moved to Yongzhou and devoted himself to the study of culture and thought. He was recommended by the county governor as a senior official and later recruited by the state and county as a non-driver.
During the reign of Emperor Ming of Wei, Guo Huai served as the governor of Yongzhou. Guo Huai respected Lu Zhi very much and promoted him to filial piety and honesty and to a doctor.
"Report, Nan 'an, An' ding and Tianshui all surrendered after hearing the news of Zhuge Liang's invasion.”
"This Zhuge Liang is really powerful. He actually attacked the most vulnerable part of Great Wei. Yongliang had been ruled by warlords in the previous generation and was difficult to govern. The war between the Imperial Emperor and Ma Chao had made the locals hate Great Wei even more.”
Guo Huai couldn't help but sigh when he heard the news.
"Actually, it's not just that. Ever since the establishment of Great Wei, Qu Yan, Huang Hua, Qu Ying and the others have been revolting nonstop.”
At this point, Lu Zhi seemed to have thought of something and immediately said to Guo Huai," There's one more thing. The person who helped Zhuge Liang collect the Falling Heavenly Water was Zhonglang Jiang Wei.”
"So Boyue is like this. This is all Ma Zun's fault. It's a pity that even if he was removed from office, he couldn't change what had already happened.”Hearing this, Guo Huai was stunned for a moment, then he couldn't help but sigh.
Noticing that Guo Huai did not show any anger, Lu Zhi could not help but ask curiously," Aren't you angry? The person he had personally promoted had actually betrayed Great Wei like this.”
"Shiying, are you angry?" Guo Huai asked.
" Actually, I'm very angry. It was because of the betrayal of the Yizhou people that Chang 'an fell and my father was killed by Guo Si," Lu Zhi said, suppressing his anger.
"I see. You do have a reason to be angry. However, it would be a pity if Boyue remained in Tianshui.”
Guo Huai looked enlightened. He nodded and said something that sounded like rebellion.
"Are you serious?" Lu Zhi was shocked.
"Just call me Boji. I'm serious.”
"That's really disappointing. I didn't expect you to be such a person who can't tell right from wrong.”Lu Zhi said with disappointment.
"Shiying, Great Wei has neglected the people of Kansai for a long time. With your knowledge and talent, you should have developed in Luoyang long ago.”
Guo Huai said lightly. Lu Zhi couldn't refute his words because Guo Huai was telling the truth.
"This is a bitter fruit that we have to swallow. If we think like this, perhaps we can let it go.”
"Are you planning to do nothing and just watch Zhuge Liang invade?”
"No, Shiying, send this letter to Cheliji overnight.”
Guo Huai shook his head. Actually, he had already thought of a plan to deal with Zhuge Liang.
"So that's how the Qiang people are." Lu Zhi nodded in realization.
Guo Huai and Lu Zhi were discussing all this, but they didn't know that their conversation had been heard by a third person.
