Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 2299 Not many choices

   On the whole, Wei Yan belongs to such a person who farms monsters all the way on the battlefield, and then treads on thunder all the way in the political court.

   Wei Yan can kill monsters that others cannot.

  Thunders that others would not step on, Wei Yan not only stepped on it, but also sat on it.

  The fighting and killing between schemes and people, honesty and cunning, has been going on for thousands of years and never stops!

  In history, Zhuge Liang never acted with Liu Bei at all. The double reed who killed Wei Yan on the grounds of rebellion was very simple. Didn’t he kill Liu Bei after offering the city? Who will sacrifice the city next time? Except for Mr. Luo who claimed to be the reincarnation of an immortal, whoever does this in reality is an idiot.

  In real history, Zhuge Liang valued Wei Yan very much, and even defended Wei Yan's repeated stepping on thunder. After Liu Bei entered Sichuan, he first worshiped General Yamen, then supervised Hanzhong, served as General Zhenyuan, and was promoted to General Zhenbei. There is no Zhuge Liang in charge of the organization department here, can the appointment be issued?

   Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, even though Wei Yan was always muttering behind his back, Zhuge Liang still let Wei Yan supervise the front, the prime minister Sima, and lead the governor of Liangzhou. Supervising the Front Department means the vanguard of the whole army, and Prime Minister Sima represents Zhuge Liang's endorsement, while the governor of Liangzhou promises to defeat Wei Yan and then he can actually receive it...

   What if we try another leader?

   Not only did he not care about Wei Yanren's predecessors who spoke ill of him, but also gave Wei Yan the official position of real power?

  Later, Wei Yan served as the former military adviser, the general who conquered the west, the false festival, and the Marquis of Nanzheng. Nanzheng is located in Hanzhong, and it is the Marquis of the real leader, while Zhuge Liang is still the Marquis of Xu. Moreover, Wei Yan also has false festivals, although the false festivals are usually useless, but in a war, they can kill all those who violate the military law under a thousand stones. If it is said that Zhuge Liang is afraid of Wei Yan, then it would be good to be promoted to a false position, why give Wei Yan real leadership and real power?

  When Zhuge Liang was about to die, he also deliberately confessed, "After the order is suspended, Jiang Wei will be next; if the order is delayed or not, the army will be spontaneous." The post and vanguard are the most important positions in the army. If the vanguard does not fight well, the whole army loses its spirit, and the attack plan will be ruined immediately, but if the attack is not good, the whole army may be completely lost. If Zhuge Liang didn't believe in Wei Yan, why did he let him die? Why don't you quickly bring Wei Yanyi here while you still have breath, and chop him up with a single knife.

So in fact, Zhuge Liang reused Wei Yan, gave him authority, gave him an official position, gave him the right to lead the army independently, gave him a holiday, and even trusted him to let him die when he was about to die. Two sets of programs.

   Then it turned out that Wei Yan committed suicide by himself, and then he really died.

   Wei Yan probably always felt that Zhuge Liang was protecting Yang Yi, but he didn’t know that Zhuge Liang was actually protecting him all the time...

  The so-called combat power of 250 on the battlefield and 250 EQ on the battlefield probably means that he didn’t run away.

  Just like now, Wei Yan feels uncomfortable.

  Because there are only two people that Wei Yan respects in his heart at the moment, one is Xu Shu who gave him a chance in the army, and the other is Fei Qian who used him regardless of his background. Then Zhuge Liang, the current Wei Yan felt that he was such a little domestic bird, and he even used Ge Laozi to make a bet with Xu Shu, it was really orange...

  Xu Shu smiled, and didn't want to explain too much, so he asked: "A certain ordering the head of the text does not enter the main entrance, but walks through the side door, avoiding the eyes and ears, what does the head of the text mean?" 』

  Talking about the war, Wei Yan's IQ returned to normal. After thinking about it for a while, he looked at Xu Shu with some longing, "Don't enter the main entrance, go sideways, and avoid eyes and ears...Could it be...Micang Road? 』The main entrance is the Jinniu Road, and the side door is naturally the Rice Cang Road.

  Xu Shu laughed loudly, and nodded at Wei Yan, "Sure enough, we can't hide it from Wen Chang, but we still need to cover up one or two things... as long as this is the case..."

   Wei Yan took the order, but left quietly through the side door again.

   On the second day, Wei Yan came to the main gate again to ask for an audience. The momentum was so great that everyone knew about it, and then Xu Shu sent people to drive him away...

   On the third day, Wei Yan came to the door again and again, and then Xu Shu claimed to have disappeared. Immediately, Wei Yan made a fuss and beat the porter, but was surrounded by the guards who rushed over, tied him up, and took him to the government office. It is said that Xu Shu was angry and locked Wei Yan in a small black room as a punishment...

  After Wei Yan entered the confinement place, just as the guards left, someone came out from the back room and changed clothes with Wei Yan. Wei Yan, on the other hand, couldn't wait to change his clothes and then went out the window, without even telling the stand-in how hard he was.

  The guards from the place of confinement to the backyard have been removed by Xu Shu first. That is to say, from now on, except for a few people who know, Wei Yan is obviously being detained in the Chengdu government office.

  Wei Yan likes to go sideways. So Wei Yan was extremely excited about this surprise attack on Hanzhong, as if he had scratched the most itchy piece of flesh, and felt comfortable all over. Others walking along the Micang road may find it difficult to move because of the rugged mountain road and poor traffic, but for Wei Yan's mountain soldiers, these are just minor troubles, not a big deal.

   Wei Yan walked faster and faster, and even couldn't help showing a big smile when he arrived at his camp...

  『Immediately set up an empty camp, hide in the mountains, take the rice barn road, and surprise Hanzhong! 』

  …(*^▽^*)…

  In the west of Hanzhong, there is also a special Hu nationality, the Di people.

   Di people, Ruo people, Ji people, and barbarians are generally the main Hu people around Sichuan and Shu.

These Hu people are not completely incompatible with the Han people, and in many cases they will be better with the Han people, just like the Longyou area. Since the Zhou Dynasty, there have been many Hu people, such as Mianzhu, Yu, Ji, Di, Di Rong, Qiang, Lu, etc. are all called Xirong, and then some tribes were gradually conquered, fled, or merged.

  The previous Diwang Ke died.

   Then the Di people were divided into four major tribes in order to compete for the throne, namely: Wang Gui, also known as Agui. Live near Xingguo Mountain in the northwest of Hanzhong; the Yang family, also known as Wanwan Yang, because they claim to have tens of millions of people, live near Qiuchi Mountain;

  The names of Di people, of course, are also influenced by the Han people. Those with a deeper influence are more inclined to the Han people's name system. Half and half of the names are somewhat weird...

  Perhaps the Di people themselves have their own titles, but for the Han people, these strange or not weird names are the way to distinguish their affiliation.

  Di people live in the mountains and forests, and they are usually unscrupulous, so they are very vigorous when they are young and strong, but once the body functions aging, it is also very sad to get sick. Many people do not live to be 40 years old.

  The original Di Wang Ke is like this.

When Fei Qian was still General Zhengxi, Di Wang Ke was still able to wield a battle axe, run around and roar on the battlefield, but when Fei Qian entered Sichuan and Sichuan, it took only a few years for his body to decline. , died silently, without leaving any strong and colorful imprints.

  The Di people in the land of Hechi will not be mentioned, because they are in the south of Sichuan and Shu, and they have not participated in the competition for the Di people in the west of Hanzhong very early. Basically, they have started anew. However, the three contenders for the king of the Di people in the west of Hanzhong, Wang Gui, Wan Yang, and the seven tribes of the Lei family, have not yet reached a final conclusion.

  The Seven Divisions of the Lei Clan were actually mediocre at first, but later, because of Lei Tong, they had some help in Sichuan and Shu, and they gradually became trembling. However, it is precisely because Lei Tong is a member of Sichuan and Shu, and in the Di people system, there is a bit of a lackey of the Han people, and there is no longer a "pure" taste of the Di people. In addition, the Lei family belongs to seven tribes, so the Di people The most likely contenders for Wang are Wang Gui and Yang Wanwan.

   Qiu Chishan.

  Di people's cottage.

   Qiuchi Mountain is located in the south of Longshan Mountain, surrounded by large and small valleys, and there are also large and small cottages.

  Yang Wanwan's Di people lived here. Because there are mountains and forests around, Yang Wanwan's enemies are also good at walking through the mountains and forests. For them, such a forest is their hometown.

  These Di people are reclaiming land along the river, then planting farms, and also grazing in the mountains, and raising some livestock. In terms of clothing and clothing, they are somewhat familiar with the Qiang people, but there are some differences. I don’t know if it’s because of customs, or because they need to hide their bodies in the mountains and forests. Most of the Di people use various plant dyes to smear patterns on their faces. To show his bravery.

   These Di people did not form a separate culture, nor did they have a special language. The language they use is still the ancient Qiang language, which is almost the same as the Qiang people. As for the culture...

   Sorry, not much really.

  Perhaps those paintings on rocks are the biggest imprint of civilization left by these Di people.

  Di people also focus on farming, but they also raise livestock, but unlike the Qiang people who mainly focus on horses, they should be regarded as a settled tribe with both farming and animal husbandry.

  Among these cottages, the largest one is of course where Yang Wanwan, who is known as tens of millions, is located.

  But if you really ask Yang Wanwan, how much is 10,000, and what kind of concept is it, Yang Wanwan may not be able to answer. And it is such a person who doesn't know how many millions are, and claims that his tribe has tens of millions. I don't know whether it should be said to be ambitious, or should it be said to be ignorant of numbers?

   Or some other reason?

  『That Zhang in Hanzhong wants us to help... What do you think? 』

  Yang Wanwan sat on the leather of the upper head and said to the elders in the tribe.

  『The one who rebelled? help? What can I do for you? ’ said the tribal elder, ‘doesn’t look like a good idea…’

  『He may...not possible, but he will definitely fight with the Han people in Sichuan and Shu,'' Yang Wanwan said, 'then he hopes that we can help him...in return, he will help us sit on the position of king of the Diren...'

  The tribal elder thought for a while and said, "This deal is not very good. 』

  Yang Wanwan nodded and said: "I think so too, so I told him, first help me to sit in the position of Di Renwang, and then I will help him..."

  『That’s it…it’s okay…』The tribal elder nodded, 『But will he agree? 』

  Yang Wanwan laughed and said, "Never mind him, if we agree, we will benefit, and if we don't agree, we will lose nothing...Anyway, I am not the one who is worried now...they don't have many choices..."

  The tribal elder also laughed.

  The laughter of the two people echoed in the cottage.

  In this world, there are always some people who stay in the city, longing to go back to the mountains and forests, but there are also some people who live in the mountains and forests, but long to get out of the valley.

  …(→_→)…

   Juyongguan.

  A team of small people slowly approached the somewhat broken city gate.

Even if you don't have to enter the city, you can still see that the street in the middle of the city gate is full of all kinds of sundries, including bricks and wood, as well as some door panels that have been removed from where they don't know, all kinds of broken utensils, congestion. The entire street seems to be used to keep horses away.

  Of course, this kind of "rejection of horses" is indeed useful, at least Dingling people have no way to drive the horses straight ahead, they can only send a team of soldiers to walk in.

  The leader of Ding Ling's National People's Congress looked at the quiet South Gate of Juyongguan from a distance, and gradually frowned. He suddenly felt a little inexplicably uneasy...

  Cao Jun's counterattack caused a headache for the commander of Ding Ling's National People's Congress.

  When a person has nothing, it seems that he doesn't care much about his own bad life, but when he has some assets, his "bad life" suddenly becomes reluctant.

  Thinking about it, I was so poor before that I would risk it as soon as I gritted my teeth, but now I have money and items. If I really risk it, then the goods I finally obtained, wouldn’t it be cheaper for the old Wang next door? When the time comes, the old Wang next door will spend the money he earned so hard to play with his wife and beat his own children. As long as you think about it a little bit, who the **** can bear it?

  So everyone wanted to let the old Wang next door come in!

   Then I can go to play... er, to comfort the old Wang's wife next door...

   This is where Ding Lingren is now in conflict. Because of the looted money, the Ding Lingren began to shrink back and forth, greedy for life and afraid of death, and hesitated. It was supposed to be the Juyongguan Pass that could be captured, but they gave in to each other, and dragged it until the commander came. An effective attack was reorganized.

   Seeing that the situation was not good, Xia Houyuan gave up the stalemate with the Dingling people on the city wall, and seemed to retreat. After all, not everyone under Xia Houyuan is the reincarnation of Sparta, and the flesh and blood will always be damaged. If the leader of the Dingling people still holds on after he arrives, he can only die here in the end.

  But the leader of the Dingling National People's Congress didn't feel that he could relax his vigilance. He felt that the retreat of Cao Jun in front of him was too simple. At least in his opinion, these Cao troops blocking the way have not really reached the point where they have to retreat...

  So there must be a problem, but where the specific problem is, it depends on human life to test it out.

   Sure enough, after the Ding Lingren team entered the south gate, the sound of roaring and fighting rang out.

  Ding Lingren is not too bad when he is on the horse, but once he gets off the horse...

  Although he can’t be regarded as a rookie, it’s really not that bad. He was killed by Xia Houyuan and his guards in the street battle, and he exited the south gate scrambling.

  The leader of Ding Ling was still frowning, and then sent more people, and they directly climbed the ladder and climbed the city wall before rushing in with the people at the city gate...

  Seeing this, Xia Houyuan could not help but click his tongue.

The reason why the city wall is not defended is because on the one hand, the current Juyongguan Pass has not passed through the past dynasties, and it is also a heavy pass during the period when the emperor guarded the country in the Ming Dynasty, so the current defense system is not that strong. It has been completely consumed, and defending the city wall is almost equivalent to being shot by a small number of people while standing.

   Therefore, they can only retreat and enter street fighting.

Thanks to the blessings of those timid people who did not dare to attack in the early stage, Xia Houyuan got some time and arranged for some people to make some arrangements. He piled up all the dry and flammable things in Juyongguan on the street. Resisting horses to prevent Dingling people from charging straight into the city with horses, on the other hand, is also to have materials for arson.

  Xia Houyuan looked at the Ding Lingren rushing down from the city wall, and sighed helplessly, "Light it up!" 』

  If Xia Houyuan continues to fight in the streets, the Dingling people who came down from the city wall will definitely go around behind them, so now there is only one option left, which is to set fire to stop the Dingling people from pursuing...

   It's just a pity, the effect of setting fire is not very good now.

   If it is said that a small number of people rush in, and then block the streets and those sundries and refuse to ride, then there will be a lot of lethality. It would be best if there were still some big bosses who entered the city!

It's a pity that the leader of the Dingling people was very cautious and even entered the city in batches. In this way, Xia Houyuan's arrangement in the city will be exposed sooner or later, so now it can only be as much as it can kill, and before the flames in the city are extinguished, It can also stop the progress of Ding Lingren.

But on the one hand, because Juyongguan is not big, and Xiahouyuan's manpower is not enough, so there are not many combustibles collected, and on the other hand, it has been raining a while ago, so the fire will inevitably be affected , cannot be very large. Of course, it is even more impossible to set fire in the wild in the valley. Only in the narrow area here in Juyongguan, where there are still some dry wood, can there be such conditions for setting fire.

  The flames rose up, Xia Houyuan waved his hand and ordered, "Let's retreat!" 』

  Some Dingling people were trapped in the fire, burning screamingly, and some Dingling people on the edge of the fire scrambled and crawled to extinguish the flames on their bodies, and then fled far away...

  Black smoke billowed from the intersection of Nanmen Street and went straight up into the sky.

  Xia Houyuan finally looked back, as if through the swaying air and smoke, saw the angry gaze cast by the big leader Ding Ling outside the city gate, couldn't help but sneered, laughed haha, turned around and left. The next step is to use the advantage of being familiar with the Juyongguan Mountain Road to launch a guerrilla attack in the mountains, and delay the progress of Ding Lingren as much as possible.

   But with a smile, Xia Houyuan gritted his teeth again, because the strategies and moves he used at the moment are actually his own pain, because he suffered from such a loss before...
