Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 138 The Gentlemen of Guanzhong

Chapter 142

The chaos in China, military disasters and natural disasters made the people precarious, and there were as many bandits everywhere.

After reconnaissance, there are two quite powerful gangsters stationed in Qingniuling and Laoyingyan in the mountains of Jingshan around Taolin.

Although these thugs are Han people who can't survive, in Ran Ming's view, they really shouldn't base their happiness on the suffering of others!
These bandits usually like to go down the mountain to rob. Wherever they go, they are like locusts crossing the border, leaving no blade of grass. Countless people have lost their homes because of these two groups of bandits!
As a ruler, no one will tolerate the existence of bandits on their territory.

So Ran Ming gathered the new army and trained with bandits!

In order to reduce losses, Ran Ming even dispatched [-] bandit hunting soldiers and [-] scouts to act as nanny for the Luozhou Army.

In fact, there was no need for Luozhou's new army to be sent out at all, and the bandits in Qingniuling could be easily wiped out with only five hundred bandit hunting soldiers.What is the name of the bandit leader in Qingniuling, Ba Nantian? He has 3000 elite soldiers under his command. After investigation, even the old, weak, sick, and disabled are actually less than [-] people!
Among them, the young and strong have less combat power, less than one thousand!
Just as Ran Ming's strategy of relying on suppressing bandits to make money was being implemented, Qin finally unified their opinions.In the end, Qiu Teng, Qiang De and other main combat factions compromised and unified the national policy of uniting Liang and Jin and jointly resisting Wei!
In the same way, the neishi ordered the right servant She Duan Chun as the chief envoy and Jia Xuanshuo as the deputy envoy to Liangguo.

The mission with Qiu Tengqiangde as the principal and deputy envoy entered Bashu from Guanzhong, and went down the Yangtze River to Jiankang to ask for help from the state of Jin.

Duan Chun and Jia Xuanshuo drove forward lightly.Came to Guzang City, which is now Liangzhou District of Wuwei.Meet Liang Wang Zhang Yaoling.

The political situation in Liang State was a bit chaotic. Zhang Chonghua died of illness (some history books say that he died of anger, that is, he met his stepmother Ma Shi and his concubine Zhang Zuo for adultery, and died of anger at the age of 27). After the nine-year-old Zhang Yaoling succeeded to the throne However, the power did not fall into his hands, but into the hands of Zhang Zuo, Marquis of Ningliang!
Although Zhang Zuo had mastered the power of the Liang Kingdom, he was not accepted by the ministers of the Liang Kingdom, especially Xie Ai, the prefect of Saquan.He was originally the master of Liangguo Sima Zhang Dan.Zhu Bo is actually a humble official with no real power.

Later, because of Zhang Dan's recommendation, Zhang Chonghua reused Xie Ai.

Later, Xie Ai fought against the 12 army of Hou Zhao Maqiu and Sun Fudu with [-] weak soldiers!He became famous in the First World War and was named Fulu County Bo by Zhang Chonghua, Zuo Changshi of the Taifu, and a solid general!

Zhang Chonghua has the grace to know Xie Ai.

Even if Zhang Chonghua died of illness, Xie Ai was still loyal to Zhang Chonghua's son Zhang Yaoling!What made Zhang Zuo feel even more uneasy was that Xie Ai had seen through Zhang Zuo's ambition long ago and took precautions against him.

Xie Ai, the backbone general and the prefect of Jiuquan, has more than [-] Liang Guo's elite troops under his command.It was stationed outside Guzang City.Now Xie Ai is like a sharp sword hanging over Zhang Zuo's head, making Zhang Zuo restless.

It was because of Ran Ming's small wings of this otherworldly butterfly, that history changed.Zhang Chonghua died of illness a year earlier in history, Xie Ai did not stay in Jiuquan as in history, but entered the center of Liangguo as a general of Wei.

According to the opinion of the Minister of Liang State, Liang State is unwilling to intervene in the war between Qin State and Wei State, but Zhang Zuo has his own ideas. Wei State is notorious, and he is also afraid. The most important thing is that there is a Xie Ai. Looking at him from the sidelines, he dared not usurp the throne even if he wanted to!You must know that this is a fierce man who defeated Tianxia Maqiu and Sun Fudu, and even Ran Min suffered under his hands.

Although Zhang Zuo's character is shameless, he still has one advantage, that is, he has a dark heart!
To achieve the goal by any means.So Zhang Zuo made up his mind to advise Zhang Yaoling, "Qin State and Liang State have a deadly relationship. If Qin dies, the Wei army will take advantage of the victory of the army and sweep Liang State. In the end, it will be difficult to support alone. The only plan now is to unite Qin and fight against Wei, so as to protect the Zhang family's foundation!"

Zhang Yaoling is only nine years old and knows how to govern the country.However, he remembered his father's instructions before he died, and the only person in the Liang Kingdom who could be trusted was Xie Ai'er.

So Zhang Yaoling asked Xie Ai, "What does General Xie think?"

Although Xie Ai dislikes Zhang Zuo, he actually agrees with one thing. Relying on the strength of Qin State, it is impossible to resist Wei State.The people in Guanzhong have no sense of belonging to Qin, and the Di people in the military are a bunch of scum, unusable!

Xie Ai didn't want Liang Guo's Zhang Chonghua's hard work to go to waste, so he said to Zhang Yaoling: "I think that General Fujun's words are reasonable, and Liang Guo should unite with Qin to fight against Wei, so that the foundation of Great Liang can be preserved!"

Although he agreed to Qin's request for help, he knew how to ask for benefits from Qin without Xie Ai!

Xie Ai took the opportunity to blackmail the Qin State, and brought all Longyou County into the territory of Liang State, and at the same time extorted [-] gold, [-] stones of grain, and [-] horses from Fu Jian!
After getting his own satisfaction, Xie Ai ordered the [-] elite cavalry under his command, and led the lieutenants Zhang Hao, Li Wei and others to leave Guzang Guanzhong and set off!

When Xie Ai marched to Guanzhong, seeing Wei Guo entering Guanzhong, the Han people in Guanzhong also had thoughts.

What has to be affirmed is that when the Han people did not go through the period of the Five Husbands, they were quite backbone.According to the origin of the Han family in Guanzhong, the descendants of Han Xin in the early Han Dynasty, the hero Han Xin was killed by Empress Lu.

With the development of generations, Webster has now become a big family in Jingzhao County.

The big family is not a noble family. According to the development of history, Webster became a first-class family in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but now his strength is not obvious.However, Webster's financial resources are second only to Zhang's in Guanzhong.But Webster's political advantage is not obvious!It is only equivalent to a third-rate gate valve!

So when the Wei army entered Guanzhong this time, Wei Qun, the contemporary head of Webster's family, had the idea of ​​gambling.

As the Patriarch who has supported Webster for more than [-] years, he has a far-reaching vision. If Webster stands up to support Wei this time, once Wei successfully occupies Guanzhong, Webster's political rights will be very generous.

Wei Qun is pale and thin, well educated, and has the demeanor of a celebrity!He entered Wei in the state of Wei and caused chaos in Guanzhong. He was keenly aware that the time for Wei to take over Guanzhong was ripe, and the people in Guanzhong supported the restoration of the customs of the Han family.As long as the Jin Dynasty does not respond and also adopts an acquiescing attitude, it is a foregone conclusion that Wei Guo will take over Guanzhong.

If it is a first-class family, at this time, it is natural to wait for the two sides to decide the winner before deciding to join the team. Although this is not the way to maximize the benefits, it is the most stable choice.

But Webster's is different. They only have the financial resources of the second-rate gentry and the reputation of the third-rate gentry, so Wei Qun feels that he should take a gamble.

With success, Webster has become a first-class wealthy family in Guanzhong, which has benefited from generation to generation.If you fail, you will lose some money and food at most, and at worst, you can change back to the Han family!

With this in mind, Wei Qun sent someone to contact Wang Ke quietly.

Wang Ke didn't dare to call the shots, so he introduced Wei Shi and other dozens of gentry representatives who were going to secretly communicate with Wei State to Ran Ming in Taolin.

At this time, Ran Ming was not affected by Guanzhong at all. He was leading the Luozhou New Army to clear up Nan Batian, the bandit in Qingniuling in Jingshan Mountain!
More than a thousand soldiers of the Luozhou new army lined up in a neat formation, marching towards Qingniuling with neat steps!
Behind this army were a dozen representatives of Guanzhong gentry who followed, and they also had the intention of probing Ran Ming's strength.Then decide the degree of cooperation. If the Wei army does not have enough strength to take over Guanzhong militarily, they will support a little money and food at most to form a good relationship.If they have the strength, they are strong enough in the military, needless to say, they are holding their thighs tightly and supporting them with all their strength!
Less than three miles away from Qingniu Ridge, suddenly a large group of bandits, at least 4000 people, gave up the dangerous stronghold and rushed down the mountain!

These bandits are a group of filthy gangs, running at full speed from a distance of more than three miles, yelling.

Looking at the bandits who cooperated so well, Ran Ming laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. "Array. Meet the enemy!"

With a swipe sound, the momentum of more than a thousand Luozhou new army soldiers suddenly changed.

However, more is nervous.

Ran Ming shouted: "What are you afraid of? Remember, you are now the official army of the Great Wei Dynasty. It is only natural for the army to kill bandits. The generals and the lonely king will kill all the bandits to protect the country and the people."

"Kill all the bandits and protect the environment and the people."

The soldiers of the Luozhou new army raised their foldable shields, held their horizontal knives tightly, and continued to march forward with firm steps!
A Luozhou new soldier asked: "If I die, will my family get a hundred mu of land?"

"Of course!" said the handsome soldier, "When did Your Highness lie to us!"

Another soldier said: "Death is not so cost-effective. Beheading has military merits. If you fight hard, God knows how much military merits you will get in the end. The captain said that as long as we have made military merits, we will have children in the future. We can enter the school. Read and read, become an official master! Maybe our old Wang family will have a great prime minister!"

Those soldiers wanted to discuss further, but the team was Ran Ming's disciple, and he coldly shouted: "Shut up and meet the enemy!"

Since the crossbow did not arrive, Ran Ming's Luozhou army was not equipped with bows and arrows, and the two sides charged directly at each other.

However, the way of charging was different. Those bandits ran with all their strength for more than three miles. When they ran over, they probably exhausted their physical strength.

But the Luozhou new army is different. They march forward at a uniform speed, so that their momentum is not weak and they can conserve their energy.

In the era of cold weapons, the opponents still fight with physical strength and blood!
Finally, the two torrents collided.

Chen Yong, Ran Ming's big disciple, had tempered his brave and unparalleled character in the Battle of Shijing. He yelled "Kill!" It kept squirting out from his hands.

It was Chen Yong's horizontal knife that split his shoulder and opened his throat deeply.

It directly caused a wound more than a foot long, exposing the white bone fork, which is really shocking!

"Kill all the bandits, protect the environment and the people!" Although the soldiers of the volunteer army were a little scared, they roared excitedly under the temptation of the land and the future of their families.
