Chapter 407: The next county, the crisis is coming, the guards panic
Yang Fan's free and easyness made Lu Bu feel ashamed, and he smiled and said, "Yes, since you trust me in Lu Bu on Bowen, how could I be more difficult than you!"
Yang Fan then joked: "I wonder if Fengxian wants to take any position in the army? Is it a civil servant like the master or a military servant like the lieutenant?"
With this experience, Lu Bu also changed his mind and nature, so he bowed and said, "Lu Bu will do whatever the lord wants Lu Bu to do. Bu, you can only survive if you have a magnanimous lord, how dare you be greedy for official positions!"
Yang Fan patted Lu Bu's arm and smiled and said, "If you want to work in our army, you still need to graduate from Huashaoshan Military Academy. If you don't have the approval of my teacher, you can only be a soldier in the army. Please study for a year. When you graduate, I will arrange your official position. How about it?"
When Lu Bu heard this, he was stunned and thought to himself, "I am the number one general in the world, why do I still have to study?" Although I don't understand why Yang Fan made such an arrangement, Yang Fan was the lord after all, so naturally he would say whatever he said. Lu Bu had to take the order and said, "The last general will take the order!"
Yang Fan nodded and smiled, "Well, then, Fengxian, you will go back and pick up your family and go to Jinyang with you. I will write to Xun Yu and ask him to arrange a residence for your family. At that time, you will take your generals to Huashaoshan Military Academy with you."
Seeing that Yang Fan did not arrange for the surveillance, a warm current flowed through Lu Bu's heart. However, after all, Lu Bu is a newly surrendered enemy general. If Yang Fan doesn't say it, it doesn't mean he won't ask. He bowed and asked, "Lord, Bu, I haven't been to Bingzhou for several years. I'm afraid I won't know the way. Why don't you send a team of soldiers to guide us?"
If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely not say such a request, but it was Lu Bu, who was arrogant and said this, which made everyone look at him with admiration.
Adhering to the principle of not doubting people and not using people, Yang Fan said with relief: "No need, the official roads in Bingzhou have been renovated one side. The road is easy to walk. If Fengxian doesn't know how to walk, then ask the people along the way! They will tell you how to walk on this road!"
Yang Fan's words were puns, but Lu Bu could not hear them. Perhaps only Guo Jia, Xun You and Li Su could hear them during this period.
Seeing that Yang Fan trusted so much, Lu Bu couldn't do anything artificial, so he said goodbye to Yang Fan and left Qinshui Bridge with several generals under his command.
After Lu Bu and others left, Guo Jia spoke out and said, "Lord, you are raising a tiger for trouble!"
Xun You smiled and said, "It's a bad thing to say to be filial. From the perspective of the following, the lord's move is not a problem for raising a tiger, but rather a tiger with wings."
Xun You's words made Yang Fan slightly stunned. Then he turned his head and looked at the young man he valued deeply. He thought to himself, perhaps only Xun You could think of him among the hundreds of thousands of people!
Guo Jia is unstable. Although he is extremely smart, he still lacks tempering. On the other hand, Xun You is about the same age as Guo Jia, perhaps because he comes from a wealthy family and has seen and has had more things than Guo Jia, which makes him more calm.
Thinking of this, Yang Fan couldn't help knocking Guo Jia's head and cursed with a smile: "You boy, you are so frivolous. Sometimes you learn more from Gongda! It's good for you boy!"
Guo Jia pursed his lips and muttered: "It would be better to let me die if I want to learn this stupid gourd!"
After hearing Guo Jia's words, Yang Fan couldn't help laughing silently, and even Xun You smiled bitterly.
In the battle of Qinshui, Yang Fan solved the second largest enemy in the Sili area, Lu Bu. From then on, only the prefect of Hongnong County of Sili was Zhang Ji, who could resist the Yang family's army's troops.
After Lu Bu left, Yang Fan no longer acted properly and directly asked Wen Pin to bring 20,000 people into Yin and Luoyang City, Henan. At the same time, he forcibly ordered the county magistrates of Yin and Yin of Henan to go to Jinyang to report their duties. If someone disobeyed the situation, Wen Pin's army would directly wipe out his family, kill the roots, and show no mercy.
For a time, all the magistrates of the 21 counties in Yin in Henan followed Yang Fan's call and set off for Jinyang. The aristocratic families behind them, forced by the Yang family army, donated all the excess land and surrendered to the Yang family army from then on.
The most populous county in Yin Naisili, Henan, was inextricably linked to the relationship between those aristocratic families. Yang Fan simply took a quick knife to cut the mess. As long as he disobeyed, he would be regarded as an enemy and directly annihilated it. This thunderous move completely shocked some guys with ulterior motives.
The people were naturally happy to be assigned to the land. Yang Fan's reputation increased instead of decreasing, reaching an unprecedented height in the Central Plains. People from all over Linzhou brought their families to join Yang Fan.
Afterwards, Yang Fan transferred Kong Rong to Luoyang to be responsible for repairing the old capital and handling the political affairs of the Sili area, he led the army to continue to advance towards Hedong County.
Speaking of Hedong County, we have to talk about the famous Hedong clan and Wei clan.
The Wei family first emerged from the famous Han general Wei Qing, and Wei Zifu, who was made queen. The Wei family rose from that moment on. The Wei family also had some connections with Yang Fan. When Yang Fan was in danger in Taihua Mountain, there was a combination of the two sons of the Wei family, Wei Ning and Wei Zhongdao.
However, Yang Fan did not take the lead in attacking Hongnong but changed the route to Hedong, which could explain many situations.
On this day, Yang Fangang led his army to Jiguan.
The Wei family, far away in Anyi, held a family meeting.
The Wei family in Hedong has been passed down to this day, but there are only two direct descendants. One is Wei Ji, whose name is Bo Yu; the other is Wei Ning, whose name is Zhongdao. These two are half-brothers. Because the eldest son of the Wei family passed away early, Wei Ji, who was the eldest brother, inherited the position of head of the Wei family early. He is now thirty-five years old, and Wei Zhongdao is only twenty years old. In addition, he is weak and sick, and he likes to look for flowers and willows. The inheritance of the Wei family fell on Wei Ji alone.
Wei Ji became a young man and was known for his talent and knowledge. He was once the magistrate of Maoling County. However, now it is a troublesome, Wei Ji had to resign as the magistrate of the county magistrate and return to his hometown in Anyi.
The Wei family is divided into two veins, one is Wei Ji and Wei Ning; the other is Wei Zi and Wei Zhen and his son.
Speaking of Wei Zi, perhaps no one knows it, just because their family lives in Chenliu for a long time. But when it comes to another name of Wei Zi, it is well-known in the Central Plains. When Dong Zhuo usurped the throne, Cao Cao raised an army to attack, and Wei Zi's pseudonym Wei Hong invested in funding Cao Cao's uprising, so he was close to Cao Cao. During the Battle of Xingyang, Cao Cao was ambushed by Lu Bu. Wei Zi should have died in battle, but because Yang Fan led his troops to help, he escaped and ascended to heaven.
Cao Cao completely ignored his old love and could only escape alone, which was already hurting Wei Zi's heart. Since that battle, Wei Zi took his son Wei Zhen to say goodbye to Cao Cao and returned to his hometown in Hedong and Anyi.
Speaking of which, Wei Zi is also considered the second uncle of Wei Ji's brothers.
After everyone sat down, Wei Ji then took a roll of bamboo silk and said worriedly: "Today, I will summon the second uncle. You cousin, you come to discuss matters, just because Yang Piqi has led his army to Jiguan, and he will be able to come to Anyi soon. I wonder what the second uncle means?"
After hearing this, Wei Zi's face changed and was at a loss. He was originally a merchant and was not very good at analyzing the situation, but he had a very keen sense of smell. Otherwise, he would not have disagreed and invested in supporting Cao Cao to raise an army. After seeing the bamboo and silk, Wei Zi analyzed: "Yang's cavalry sent troops this time to kill the rebel Zhang Ji. But from the fact that he went to the Sima family of Henei County, he defeated the prefect of Hedong, and then sent troops to move into the remnant city of Luoyang. From this point of view, Yang's cavalry was actually going to take down the Sili territory."
Wei Ji nodded and agreed: "What the second uncle said is right. At this time of the Youji War, Yang Piao cavalry did not look at Jizhou, but instead sent troops to Sili to the south. It can be seen that he must have planned to take down Sili before the victory or defeat of the Youji War was decided, and then return to the north, and then compete with Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao for land in Hebei."
Wei Zhen was very smart, but he couldn't guess what his cousin said for a moment. He asked: "If the Youji War is over, wouldn't Yang Cavalry work hard and work hard? In addition, Sili is located in the Central Plains, bordering Liangzhou in the west, facing Yi and Jingzhou in the south, Yu and Yanzhou in the east. Even if Sili is taken, the Yang family army will have to invest too much troops to guard it. In this way, wouldn't it be too much to compete with Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao for the land of Hebei?
Wei Ji looked surprised and thought to himself that his cousin is really powerful. He can have such insights at a young age. He is far superior to his peers. Even his talented younger brother must not have such keen insight.
As he thought about it, Wei Ji turned to look at Wei Ning. He saw that Wei Ning looked panicked when he said that Yang Fan led his troops into the country. He sighed slightly in his heart and said intently that these two people are really far apart.
What Wei Ji didn't know was that Wei Ning was so panicked at this time, which was actually something else was hidden.
After hearing what his son Wei Zhen said, a stunning look flashed in Wei Zi's eyes, and then hid it, and then said quietly: "Pong Zhen, don't make a conclusion. Yang Piqi has never been defeated since his debut. Although he is less than thirty years old, no one in this world can do anything. How can we guess the general of the cavalry use troops?"
Wei Zi's words were quite steady. At this time, he didn't know what Wei Ji's brother meant, so he would not let his son show off too much, so he would not have been able to shoot his head. After all, the two families have been separated for a long time, so their relationship would not be too good. He would speak more conservatively and leave a line to have room to deal with it.
Wei Ji was a county magistrate, and he naturally had a very reasonable approach in the officialdom. After hearing Wei Zi's words, he could not guess what his second uncle had in his mind.
