    Although the 100,000 Dongyi soldiers were nominally abolished by Lin Nan five years ago, they were actually still under the jurisdiction of Taishi Ci.  In addition, there are 50,000 Han soldiers, and together with the Northwest Army, there are a total of 250,000.  In the past few years, the Northwest Army completely complied with Lin Nan's orders and stationed in the northwest.  With such a large army, the food and military pay consumed in a year are a huge expense.  Except for the 100,000 Dongyi soldiers who no longer need to pay, the remaining 150,000 troops are all maintained by the Chinese state.  To raise an army, you need enough food and money.  Therefore, Lin Nan formulated the first five-year plan to develop the Hetao area.

    In the past five years, the Northwest Army has never fought a battle, but as soldiers of the Northwest Army, it is not that easy. They have to reclaim wasteland, build defensive barriers, and dig rivers and canals. These are all what they have to do.  On the one hand, it is necessary to establish military camps, and on the other hand, it is necessary to protect the relocated people. In the continuous integration, those Dongyi soldiers, Xiongnu soldiers, and Qiang soldiers have gradually integrated into the main force of the Northwest Army, and they have become brothers and sisters with the Han soldiers.  brothers of the opposite sex

    These soldiers from different ethnic groups have ignored the grievances between ethnic groups and have completely become members of the Chinese family.  Therefore, five years later, after Lin Nan personally inspected the Northwest Army, he decided to officially give it a designation, change the designation of the previous Suppression Army, and establish a new, China's first unique group army, called the Northwest Field Army.

    In the government office of Lingzhou City, these generals who used to have quarrels with each other have now become brothers. There is no distinction between them and they all treat each other as brothers. They sit around the stove, eat meat and drink wine.

    After having enough wine and food.  Taishi Ci first said: "Today I summoned four brothers to come here for no other reason than that the emperor's imperial edict was sent to us twenty days ago before Jinghan was destroyed. At that time, I also asked all brothers to come here.  Read them all. The purpose is to conquer Liangzhou. It is difficult to travel to Shu in the cold winter. Half of Cao Wei's troops are in Shu. Even if they return to Qinzhou, it will take less than half a month.  This is the time for our Northwest Field Army to show its strength. Brothers, we are no longer looking forward to a battle with the Wei army. A month and a half ago, our army was ordered to pretend to attack Liangzhou. Now the war is coming.  You should all work together.¡±

    Ma Chao was originally ashamed of being under Tai Shici, but after Lin Nan's talk, he gradually gave up on this plan. After all, he was living under someone else's roof and had no choice.

    However, after five years of getting along.  Although Ma Chao has always been obsessed with revenge, his relationship with Taishi Ci, Pang De, Wei Yan, Chu Yan and others has become relatively close.  Moreover, the Ma family was well arranged by Lin Nan.  His cousin Ma Dai was appointed as the captain of Dongyi School and made a first-class baron. Even his younger brother was made a viscount. People's hearts are full of flesh. He naturally knew that Lin Nan was good to him, so he  He was simply willing to sacrifice his life for it.

    "I'm going to capture Wuwei!" Ma Chao was the first to say.

    "Then I'll go capture Anding." Wei Yan did his part.

    "I will go with General Ma. After General Ma captures Wuwei, I will go and capture Zhangye, Jiuquan, and Dunhuang counties." Pang De said with a strong tone.

    "I will go with General Wei to capture Hanyang, and then attack Jincheng and Longxi together," Chu Yan said.

    "No!" After hearing this, Taishi Ci denied, "There will be no division of troops. All 200,000 troops will attack Wuwei. There is no need to defend Lingzhou City. I have mobilized 50,000 Dongyi soldiers to garrison. Dongyi archers are very powerful.  Hiding in the fortress, we can defend Lingzhou."

    "Two hundred thousand troops attack Wuwei? Don't you think this is too wasteful?"  Ma Chao was opposed.

    "Waste? Hehe, that's not necessarily the case. Wuwei is an important place connecting the east and west of Liangzhou. After taking Wuwei, it is equivalent to dividing Liangzhou into two, and then the army goes south and sweeps through the counties of Liangzhou. With the majestic appearance of our Northwest Field Army  "Whoever dares to resist will have no choice but to surrender. Even if they encounter the Qiang, they can defeat them with superior force," Tai Shi Ci said.

    Wei Yandao: "As we unite our troops and advance, what about behind? If Zhangye, Jiuquan, Dunhuang and other places come to attack us, and there are also Xianbei people, wouldn't we be attacked from both sides?"

    "No, I have already sent people to contact the Xianbei people, and the king of Wusun has also agreed to contact the countries in the Western Region on his behalf, and at the same time fight against Wei, which is enough to contain the Wei army in the three counties." Taishi Ci said.

    Everyone felt a little confused. Taishi Ci was obviously much smarter than before, but when they thought about it, they realized that Taishi Ci's wife was Tian Xin.

    "Well, the army will attack Wuwei together. If we divide our troops, it will not be easy to resist the Qiang soldiers. If we merge together and advance, I have no objection." Ma Chao said first.

    "I have no objection either." Pound followed closely.

    Chu Yan and Wei Yan said in unison: "Let's just join together, it's fun to join forces.  "

    Tai Shi Ci said: "Well, brothers, just go back and prepare. We will attack Weiwu on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. We will celebrate the New Year in Wuwei City."

    "No!"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    At the same time, Lin Nan had also arrived in Changsha. Under the attention of everyone, he invited the emperor of Wu to come out to see the snow scene.  It hasn't snowed here in Jingzhou, but the weather is still cold. In a short while, the Chinese New Year will be here. At this normal time, people's homes are preparing New Year's goods.

    On the white snow, Lin Nan and Sun Ce walked towards each other. The two had never seen each other since they separated in Wu State. Now the two met again. Sun Ce was already a 21-year-old young man, and Lin Nan  He has also entered middle age.

    Sun Ce looked at Lin Nan and saw that Lin Nan was still strong and energetic. The difference was that the vicissitudes of life on his body made people feel that this man must have gone through a lot.

    Both of them were wearing plain clothes. After meeting each other, they both smiled at each other.

    "After so many years of not seeing each other, my uncle is still so healthy and strong. This makes my nephew so embarrassed." Sun Ce had a mustache on his lips, but when he saw Lin Nan's face was very clean, he was a little confused.  But out of politeness, he still raised his hands, cupped his fists towards Lin Nan and said.

    "Haha Jiangdong knows the reputation of the little overlord. When I see him today, he really looks like the overlord of Western Chu back then"

    "Uncle is here today. Isn't it just to praise my nephew?"

    "Of course not. You already know why I'm here. There's no need to say polite words. Let's get straight to the point. I'm here this time just for the sake of this Jingzhou issue."

    "I still said the same thing. I think Sima Yi, the general who conquered the south, also told my uncle, right?"

    "Haha, half of Jingzhou? Don't you think your request is too much?"  Lin Nan sneered.

    "We, the soldiers of the State of Wu, shed blood on the battlefield, and how many soldiers and horses did we contain for the Huaxia Kingdom? Half of Jingzhou was obtained with the blood of our soldiers of the State of Wu."

    "Oh, but take a look at Jingzhou. Apart from half of Jiangxia and the whole of Changsha, what other land is there with the flag of your Wu Kingdom? You want half of Jingzhou, isn't it too much?"

    "You can't say that. These four counties in Jingnan were the first to be occupied by Wu State. If Zhuge Liang hadn't deceived them, how could I have lost them?"

    "There will be no results from arguing, so let's sit down and talk calmly!"

    "Okay. Let's talk then."

    Lin Nan said: "Let's do this, Wu Guo's sacrifice. I will give you a satisfactory answer, but don't ask too much. Just tell me the lowest price and let me know what you want?"

    Sun Ce said: "It's very simple. I won't go too far. I will give you Jiangxia County to the Huaxia Kingdom, and you will give me the other three counties in Jingnan to the Wu Kingdom."

    After hearing this, Lin Nan laughed and said: "Little nephew, I didn't expect you to be really good at doing business. You want to exchange the land of half a county of Jiangxia for the three counties of Jingnan. Do you think I can do such a business?"  ?¡±.

    "Then there is no need to talk about it. The three counties of Jingnan were taken away by Zhuge Liang from our Wu Kingdom. Our Wu Kingdom naturally has the right to take back these three counties. However, if Zhuge Liang surrenders to your Huaxia Kingdom, please take them back."  Take him away to avoid conflicts between our two countries, which would hurt the harmony. Uncle, what do you think?" Sun Cepi said with a smile.

    Lin Nan had a resolute look on his face, a stern expression on his face, and his eyes were full of anger, but he didn't speak.

    Sun Ce was not afraid when he saw Lin Nan's expression. He relied on his superior force. Now he was one-on-one with Lin Nan. Even if something happened, he didn't have to be afraid.  He smiled and said: "Uncle, it seems that we still owe an agreement"

    "What agreement?" Lin Nan asked suspiciously.

    "Didn't we make a six-year agreement when we were attacking Dong Zhuo? Now six years have passed, and my nephew is not talented, so I have the guts to ask my uncle for advice." Sun Ce cupped his fists and said.

    "Performance will be postponed. That's it for today. We will meet here again at this time tomorrow. Then, I will give you a satisfactory answer." After saying that, Lin Nan turned around and left without looking back.

    Sun Ce greeted each other with a smile, cupped his fists and said, "Uncle, be careful of the slippery road, and have a safe journey!"

    After Lin Nan returned to the military camp, he was in a terrible mood. This boy Sun Ce was really tricky.

    When Gan Ning saw Lin Nan coming back, he asked, "Your Majesty, how are things going?"

    "Sun Ce wants to exchange Jiangxia County and me for Wuling, Lingling, and Guiyang counties."

    "Wishful thinking! Your Majesty, let all my naval forces come over."??, entered Dongting Lake, outflanked all fronts, and blocked Sun Ce and others in Changsha. The emperor then personally led the army to besiege the city and fight with him to let him know how powerful our country of China is. If he dares to shout in front of the emperor, he will live.  I'm getting impatient!  Gan Ning said angrily.

    "The general is too impulsive. Now is not the time to start a war with Wu State. The current situation is that the world is divided into three parts. If our army goes to war with Wu State, we will not be able to deal with Wei State and will fall into a two-front war. If  Now continue to be friendly with Wu State and mobilize superior forces to attack Wei. At least Wu State will not cause trouble behind the scenes. Let me think about it and see how to solve this matter. "

    Gan Ning was a little unhappy and asked: "Your Majesty, my navy is here and you won't let me fight. What can I do?"

    Lin Nan smiled and patted Gan Ning on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, when spring comes next year, I will definitely let you fight a war and conquer a country."

    "One country? The world is divided into three parts. Will it start attacking Wei next year?"

    "That's not true. The country you want to go to is overseas, separated from the three Koreas by only one sea"

    "Where is that place?" Gan Ning asked suspiciously.

    "Japanese country!"

    "Japanese country? Where is it?"

    "You will know when the time comes. You go down first and let me think about it carefully. The dispute in Jingzhou must be resolved tomorrow."

    "No!"

    ¡­¡­

    When Sun Ce returned to Changsha City, Zhou Yu hurriedly asked, "Did you tell me everything?"

    "I followed your plan. I saw Lin Nan's face turning green and red. Gongjin, do you think Lin Nan is really willing to trade with us?"

    "It will definitely change. The geographical location of Jiangxia is very good. After our army takes it, it can also play its role. However, Nanyang, Nanjun, and Runan of the Huaxia Kingdom surround the Huaxia Kingdom in an arc, and  Our army has not occupied the entire territory of Jiangxia. It is better to exchange Jiangxia for the three counties of Jingnan. Once the three counties of Jingnan belong to our country of Wu, they can be connected with Jiaozhou without any worries, and they can still look up to the west.  Bashu. Lin Nan is a smart man, and he would not dare to break up with us when the Wei Kingdom still exists. In this case, he will be involved in a two-front war, which will be very detrimental to the Huaxia Kingdom. Don't worry, Lin Nan will do it tomorrow.  Will definitely change it.¡±

    After hearing this, Sun Ce smiled and said: "Gong Jin's clever plan. A few days ago, he forced Zhuge Liang to wear women's clothes and walk in front of the two armies. Now he has forced Lin Nan to dare to be angry and dare not speak. I have you here in the country of Wu. Why worry?  The great cause is uncertain?¡±

    At this time, a person walked in from the door.  Carrying a bloody bundle in his hand, as soon as he entered the hall, his face was full of spring breeze. He threw the bloody bundle directly to the ground, and at the same time knelt down and worshiped: "I, General Jiang Qin of Zhennan, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

    Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were laughing.  Suddenly I heard Jiang Qin arriving, and a human head was exposed from the bloody bundle. It was face down and it was unclear whose head it was.  However, Sun Ce saw Jiang Qin arriving in person.  With a smile on his face and a shock in his heart, he hurriedly walked over and kicked the head with his foot. The head turned over, revealing a face that he had hated for a long time.

    His face immediately burst into laughter, he raised his foot and stepped on the head of the person, and cursed excitedly: "Big-eared thief! You have today too! Hahahaha"

    Zhou Yu went over and took a look, and saw that the head belonged to no one else, but that of the Jinghan Emperor Liu Bei. However, his face was ferocious and extremely ugly, probably because of his fear of death.  He hurriedly helped Jiang Qin up and said: "General Jiang, thank you for your hard work. How did you find Liu Da'er?"

    So, Jiang Qin explained how he found Liu Bei and how he killed Liu Bei.

    It turned out that Jiang Qin and Pan Zhang were ordered to search for Liu Bei's whereabouts. After three days of searching, they could not find his whereabouts.  Later, a man in black suddenly appeared and informed them of Liu Bei's whereabouts. He and Pan Zhang rushed there without stopping. In a cave, they happened to meet Liu Bei who was fleeing.  At this time, Liu Bei was no longer the Liu Bei he was before. He was hiding in a cave with no clothes on. It was such a cold day and his clothes were so thin. Even if they didn't find Liu Bei, Liu Bei would probably freeze to death soon.

    After Jiang Qin and Pan Zhang saw Liu Bei, they immediately killed him and beheaded him. Pan Zhang stayed in Jiangxia, while Jiang Qin rushed to Changsha to claim the credit.

    After listening to Jiang Qin's narration, Zhou Yu rolled his eyes and said: "Your Majesty, tomorrow you can go to Lin Nan with Liu Bei's head and say that you have captured Liu Bei for Huaxia and killed Liu Bei. I will send another  People spread rumors and said that Lin Nan instigated us to do this.¡±

    After hearing this, Sun Ce didn't understand and asked, "Why is this so? The big-eared thief is the enemy who killed my father. Why did he sacrifice his head to Lin Nan?"

      Zhou Yu whispered a few words into Sun Ce's ear. After hearing this, Sun Ce laughed and said, "Gong Jin's brilliant plan!"

    Sun Ce immediately rewarded Jiang Qin with a hundred gold, and later gave Jiang Qin and Pan Zhang an additional 300 households to live in. He asked Jiang Qin to stay in Changsha temporarily until the negotiations were completed tomorrow before returning.

    The next day, the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month, there was light snow in the sky, and Sun Ce and Lin Nan still arrived as promised.  The difference was that Sun Ce was holding a baggage with some blood in his hand, while Lin Nan was also holding a baggage.

    When Sun Ce saw Lin Nan carrying a baggage in his hand, he couldn't help but be startled and thought to himself: "Could it also contain a human head?"

    The two of them walked from a distance to each other and exchanged a few words of greetings. Sun Ce threw the bloody baggage in his hand on the snow and said to Lin Nan: "Uncle, my nephew has brought you a gift. I hope your uncle will accept it."  Down."

    Lin Nan said "Oh" and saw Sun Ce squatting down and opening the baggage, revealing a human head, and that head belonged to none other than Liu Bei.  He only glanced lightly, then smiled and said: "Nephew, I should congratulate you. You killed Liu Bei and avenged your father. Brother Wentai is alive in heaven, so you can rest in peace."

    Seeing that Lin Nan was peaceful but not panicked, Sun Ce asked suspiciously, "Isn't uncle happy? I have eliminated a powerful enemy for my uncle to prevent him from making a comeback."

    "Liu Bei's situation is over, and the world has been divided into three parts. The agreement between your father and I is about to be completed. Once I destroy the Wei State, the Wu State and our Huaxia State can merge into one and rule together.  "

    "Two into one? Governing together?" Sun Ce was different. He had never heard his father say it, but Ling Cao brought back his father's last words, saying that he must not be an enemy of China as long as he lives.  Let Sun Ce remember this.

    ¡°We¡¯ll talk about this later, my dear nephew, since you gave me Liu Bei¡¯s head, why not give me Liu Bei¡¯s body as well?¡±

    "If uncle needs it, my nephew will do it." Sun Ce didn't know what kind of medicine Lin Nan was selling in the gourd. It seemed to be quite different from what Zhou Yu said. He was neither surprised nor regretful.  Everything was very ordinary, as if this incident had never happened at all.

    "Well. Nephew, I also want to give you a gift today" After saying that, Lin Nan opened the bag, pulled out a long scroll from it, and then spread it out on the spot, completely unfolding the scroll.  opened.

    After Sun Ce saw the picture scroll.  I immediately became energetic because the picture scroll was a map.

    "I drew this last night, and now I give it to you. This is called the World Map, where we are. Here" Lin Nan pointed on the map with his hand, "This was once the world of the Han Dynasty.  From here, go west and follow the Silk Road, and you will reach many different countries. Some of these countries are strong, some are weak, and their customs, folk customs, and appearances are all different from ours. When you reach this place called Europe, there.  There was a very powerful empire called Rome. Most of the people there had yellow hair, blue eyes, and high noses, and they spoke differently from us"

    Sun Ce stared at the scroll intently, listening to Lin Nan's explanation.  In the past, he thought that the world was only as big as the Han Dynasty. It was not until today that he realized that the world he thought before was just the tip of the iceberg. It turned out that there was a bigger world outside the so-called world in his mind.

    He is an ambitious person and a dominator.  When he saw this map, he was completely attracted. The world Lin Nan presented was really too big.

    Lin Nan noticed Sun Ce's expression. After briefly talking about the west, his words suddenly dropped, and his hand hurriedly returned to the east. He pointed to a small island hanging offshore in the southeast of the mainland and said to Sun Ce: "My dear nephew, please  look here¡­¡­"

    Sun Ce saw a small island there and asked, "What is that place?"

    "This is Yizhou, the land of our Huaxia Kingdom. I am going to give Yizhou to you. This small island is a treasure island with countless wealth on it. The year before last, the navy of our Huaxia Kingdom crossed the sea.  This treasure island is one of the many islands that have been collected overseas. This treasure island is as big as a state. Now, what do you think of me handing over this island to you? "

    Sun Ce was doubtful of Lin Nan's words, because he never knew that there was an island so close to the Kingdom of Wu. What was even more amazing was that the Huaxia Kingdom had actually taken it into its possession. This island,  It should be from his country of Wu.  If the Huaxia Kingdom established a military fortress and navy camp on this island, it would undoubtedly be a huge threat to the Wu Kingdom.  Because they can attack Wu's coastline from here without hesitation.

    "Everything you said is true."??  Why didn't I know there was a place like this?  "

    "Haha, this is the difference between you and me. There are many things in my mind that you can't imagine. Because I am the reincarnation of Ziwei Emperor Star. I look down on the earth from the sky every day. I naturally know everything about it.  Chu, otherwise we wouldn¡¯t have drawn such a map, what do you think?¡±

    Sun Ce believed it, because from the very beginning, rumors had spread that Lin Nan was the reincarnation of Ziwei Emperor Star. Later, when he became emperor, this rumor was further confirmed.

    Lin Nan suddenly pointed to a small island below Jiaozhou and said: "Look here again. It is similar to Yizhou. It is also a treasure island. I named it Zhuyazhou, and I am going to give it to you as well."

    "Are you so kind?" Sun Ce sneered, but there was greed in his eyes. If these two islands are indeed occupied by the Huaxia Kingdom as Lin Nan said, then the threat to the Wu Kingdom is too great.  Big.

    "Haha, of course. I have a purpose. Didn't you propose yesterday that you would trade Jiangxia with me for the three counties of Jingnan? I would trade these two islands with you for Jiangxia. What do you think?"

    Sun Ce frowned and thought to himself: "Compared to the three counties in Jingnan, these two islands pose a greater threat to the Wu Kingdom. If Lin Nan and I break up, we send people to attack the land from these two islands."  . If our rear is empty, wouldn¡¯t it be easy for them to occupy us?¡±

    When he thought of this, Sun Ce said: "In addition to these two islands, I would also like to add Lingling County and Guiyang County."

    Without even thinking about it, Lin Nan replied: "A gentleman's words are hard to follow, not to mention you are the emperor and you keep your word. This matter is settled. Let's sign the contract now. From now on,  Jiangxia belongs to our Huaxia Kingdom, Guiyang and Lingling belong to your Wu Kingdom, Yizhou and Zhuya Prefecture also belong to your Wu Kingdom, my dear nephew, you have made a lot of money."

    With that said, Lin Nan took out the written documents.  He said to Sun Ce: "My dear nephew, this is the contract. Take a look at it. If you don't have any objections, just press your fingerprints!"

    Sun Ce saw that Lin Nan had been prepared, and for some reason, he felt like he had been deceived.  However, the emperor always sticks to his word.  Even if he was not angry in his heart, he could only swallow his anger and swallow it in his stomach.  He took the contract and looked through it carefully, but found nothing unusual.  Then he bit his finger and put his fingerprint on the contract.  Then, he handed the contract to Lin Nan.

    Lin Nan smiled, and when he stretched out his fingers to bite it, he suddenly found that Liu Bei's head was still on the ground, and it was still bloody. There was blood already there, so why bother to bite it, so he immediately squatted down and dipped some blood on it.  , and put his fingerprint on the contract.

    When Sun Ce saw this scene, he suddenly felt that Lin Nan was too shrewd and he was not even willing to draw blood.  He pointed to the place on the map close to the Korean Peninsula and saw a large long and narrow island there, and asked: "What are those places?"

    "Oh, Japan. Hehe, nephew, I can't give you this place. It already belongs to my country of China. There are markings on this map. There are many places you can't think of. You can try to cross the Pacific Ocean, and then  When we reach the other side, there is a magical continent there, which is far larger than the Han Dynasty, and there is gold everywhere. "

    "That's so good, why don't you go?"

    "I still have to deal with Cao Cao. I don't have time to go. I'll go after I eliminate Cao Cao! If you don't go by then, I will go to the golden country" Lin Nan deliberately added the last few  The words were spoken very seriously and slowly, and he laughed when he saw a glimmer of greed flashing in Sun Ce's eyes.

    The negotiation has been decided, and Lin Nan and Sun Ce made a reasonable negotiation. Of course, it was not fair, because Lin Nan deceived Sun Ce, and Yizhou and Zhuyazhou did not send Chinese navy troops there at all.  However, when Sun Ce found out that he had been deceived, it would be in the future, and he could only sulk on his own.

    "Exchanging the two less-rich counties of Guiyang and Lingling for the treasure land of Jiangxia seems fair, but in fact it is not fair.

    According to Zhou Yu¡¯s thinking, Jiangxia, this treasure land, could be exchanged for the four counties in Jingnan. However, Sun Ce was deceived by Lin Nan, but he still left one county in Jingnan, Wuling County.

    After the Jingzhou issue was determined, Lin Nan left Gan Ning in full charge of the exchange, and asked Zhuge Liang and Shamoko to evacuate all the people in Guiyang and Lingling. He postponed the land exchange on the grounds that it was difficult to travel in winter and the New Year was approaching.  By March next year.  At the same time, Lin Nan quickly returned to Luoyang, because of the war in the northwest, he had to pay close attention.

    After Sun Ce returned to Changsha City, when Zhou Yu found out, he was immediately angry and depressed, but now that it was over, there was nothing he could do about it.

    On the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, Lin Nan returned to Xiangyang, and Sun Ce also had Liu Bei¡¯s body sent to Xiangyang. Lin Nan sent people to Xiangyang.Liu Bei's head and body were connected together, and then Liu Bei was buried outside Xiangyang City with the ceremony of national mourning. The funeral was announced to the whole world for Liu Bei's funeral.

    On the day of the national mourning, Lin Nan personally took the civil and military ministers, as well as the original surrendered soldiers and generals of Jinghan, to Liu Bei's mausoleum.  Xun You came to Lin Nan and said, "The emperor's plan is really clever. Wu Guo thought that by sending Liu Bei's body and head, people in the world would think that the emperor ordered Liu Bei to be killed. Although Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and  Liu Bei had a falling out, but it was still a fight between brothers. If he knew that the emperor killed Liu Bei, he would naturally not come to join him. But now that the emperor is mourning for Liu Bei, this move is enough for the emperor to bribe all the surrenders of Jing Han and others.  The hearts of the people are filled with admiration.¡±

    Lin Nan smiled, but at the same time there was a sense of sadness in his heart.  In the late Han Dynasty, the heroes were fighting, and now they were dying one after another, so many people died.  So many heroes were killed by him, and his hands were covered with blood.  What makes him hesitate the most is that the whereabouts of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are unknown so far. He wonders if they will appear in Xiangyang after hearing the news of Liu Bei's death.

    "Gongda. I will return to Luoyang today. I will entrust you with full authority regarding Jingzhou. I will grant you the title of An Nangong. You can make the decision on all matters by yourself. There is no need to report. At the same time, Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong, Zhang He, Chen Dao,  Wenpin, Gan Ning, Zhuge Liang and others are all under your command. The problem in Jingzhou must be solved. After the handover with Wu State in the spring of next year, all the people in those two counties will move to Wuling. "

    "I obey the decree!"

    ¡­¡­

    The twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Liangzhou, Wuwei County, Wuwei City.

    It snowed heavily for more than ten days in a row.  There was a flurry of noise, and the entire northwest seemed to be covered in heavy snow.  The heavy snow outside the city was as deep as half a person's height. It was the biggest snowfall in Liangzhou in the past years.

    In such weather, the soldiers of the Wei army had already rushed into the gatehouse to keep warm, and very few came out to stand guard. At most, they came out to take a look every once in a while.  Say it again.  Only a fool would be willing to go out in such weather.

    "I'll freeze to death!" On the tower of Wuwei City, a soldier hurriedly opened the door of the turret and shouted loudly as soon as he entered.

    Along with this soldier came a very strong cold wind, the cold wind entered the room.  The sound made a bonfire roar in the corner tower.

    "What a fool! Close the door, close the door! The fire is going out!" A village leader shouted impatiently, picked up the wooden stick on the ground and threw it at the soldier.

    The soldier hurriedly closed the door, came to the bonfire, squatted there to warm himself, and then he felt a little warm in his body. He said to the yelling camp leader just now: "There is no one outside, and I don't even understand. In this kind of weather,  What else is there to see? Let¡¯s get cold here. The governor is really nothing!¡±

    After this soldier cursed, the rest of the soldiers also started to curse, and the prefect was scolded furiously.

    Immediately afterwards, everyone was talking and joking together. A hundred people in a group were crowded together, talking and laughing.

    Suddenly, the door was kicked open, and a man covered in snowflakes came in from the door. The man's face was ashen, and he held a steel knife in his hand. He glanced at the people inside, didn't even answer, and said  With a wave of his hand, he rushed inside.

    The people inside were shivering from the cold wind, and the bonfire was blown around, making the people inside unable to open their eyes. The village chief couldn't help but cursed: "You idiot, close the door!"

    As soon as the village chief finished speaking, he saw a group of people rushing in from outside. They were all similar to snowmen. They were holding a gleaming knife in their hands that were red from the cold. They quickly walked to the group of Wei soldiers and raised their swords.  cut.

    In just an instant, more than a hundred Wei soldiers were hacked to death. The leader who came in took off his fur coat, revealing the military uniform of the Northwest Field Army of China. It was Wei Yan. He shouted to the door  Said: "Open the city gate and let the army enter the city!"

    In Wuwei City, the generals of the Wei army were still gathering in front of the fire in their rooms. Everyone usually talked nonsense about nothing, and no one expected that someone would travel in such bad weather.

    In the prefecture, Cao Xiu, the prefect of Wuwei, was immersed in the joy of the upcoming New Year. He ordered the soldiers to decorate the entire prefecture in a prosperous manner. There was no snow in the courtyard, making it the cleanest place in the entire Wuwei city.

    "Hang up that lantern, yes, the one on the left, and the one over there Hey, hey, hey Who asked you to hang a plaque? Look where you hung it That so-and-so, you go  A trip to the backyard" Cao Xiu walked around every corner of the prefect's mansion, inspecting it personally, hoping to make this new year perfect.

    When the news of the demise of the Shu Han reached Liangzhou, Cao Xiu was naturally happy. This year was his most prosperous year.This year, I just married a beautiful wife not long ago, and the New Year is coming again, so I have to let my wife enjoy the fun of the New Year no matter what.

    Cao Xiu was pointing, and his subordinates were all working enthusiastically. Because they were getting rewarded, they naturally worked much harder.

    "Boom!"

    Suddenly, there was a loud noise outside the Prefect's Mansion, and the ground where Cao Xiu was standing shook violently. His first impression was that the ground was sinking.

    "What happened outside?" Cao Xiu was shocked. At this juncture, if the ground subsided, he simply didn't want him to have a good year.

    Just when everyone in the courtyard was confused, a person suddenly broke in from the outside. The person was covered in blood and his eyes were full of fear. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he shouted loudly: "The Chinese Army we  Surrounded by the Chinese army"

    Before he could finish shouting, Wei Yan rushed in with a group of heavy infantry, and chopped off the man's head with one knife. He glanced at the people in the courtyard with a sharp gaze. When he saw Cao Xiu, his eyes flashed.  There was a glimmer of light, and he swung the cold steel knife with blood beads in his hand forward, and shouted loudly: "The general has an order. Anyone who kills Cao Xiu will be rewarded with a hundred gold coins, and he will be promoted to the third level"

    Wei Yan shouted as he rushed forward, raised a knife and chopped down a servant in the prefect's mansion, and ran straight towards Cao Xiu.  The rest of the soldiers followed closely behind, and once they rushed in, they immediately spread out and controlled the entire corner of the Prefect's Mansion in an attempt to block all exits.

    Cao Xiu was taken aback and immediately fled into the backyard before Wei Yan could reach him.  When he saw his wife coming out of the house, he immediately shouted: "Get in!"

    At this time, many Chinese soldiers climbed over the wall, and some soldiers rushed in from the back door. The entire prefecture was surrounded by a dark crowd of people, completely surrounding the prefecture.

    Cao Xiu took his wife into the room, took out his sword, put on his armor, closed the door, walked directly to the bed, opened a wooden board under the bed, revealing a hidden compartment, and hurriedly said to his wife  : "Go straight along this secret road, which will lead to a dense forest outside the city. There are some Tiger Guard soldiers I left behind in the secret road. They can protect you from leaving this place. After leaving, go straight to Hanyang.  County, report this matter to the governor and ask him to prepare for defense."

    Cao Xiu's wife wanted to say something more, but Cao Xiu hugged his wife, kissed her hard on the little mouth, and said directly: "Don't worry, I'll be fine, I'm still useful to them  ,Do not worry about me!"

    Cao Xiu's wife refused and insisted on pulling Cao Xiu to go with her. After parting with her, Cao Xiu said angrily: "This matter is related to the survival of Liangzhou. Don't delay any longer. I will meet you again."

    After saying that, he asked Cao Xiu's wife to leave by force, and he packed up the secret compartment again. As soon as he turned around, Wei Yan led someone to break in.

    When Cao Xiu saw Wei Yan looking at him eagerly, he quickly threw his weapon on the ground, knelt down, kowtowed to Wei Yan and said, "General Wei, please spare my life. I am willing to surrender to the Chinese army."

    Wei Yan was surprised, but he couldn't believe it. He ordered his subordinates: "Tie him up and take him to the general to be punished!"

    So, the soldiers tied Cao Xiu to Wuhuada and led them to the front hall of the prefect's mansion.

    At this time, the Chinese army had completely controlled the form of martial arts. The moment the city gate was opened, 30,000 troops quickly rushed into the city.  The Wei army officers and soldiers in the city were all staying in the barracks, and the streets were deserted, and the people would not come out. Therefore, 30,000 soldiers directly surrounded the general camp without any bloodshed. The Wei army officers and soldiers were all frightened and were forced to surrender.  The Chinese army successively occupied important places such as arsenals and granaries, and then came to besiege the prefect's mansion.  (To be continued)
