Chapter 503 Are you okay?
The Hanzhong County City in the distance was brightly lit, and countless torches above the city reflected half of the sky red. You could vaguely see soldiers standing on the city wall with guns or patrolling in formation.
The war horses ran back from the bright place and came to Wei Yi's horse. Listening to the feedback of these knights, Wei Yi nodded happily.
Originally, the city was already prepared to welcome the emperor and the army. I originally thought that my sudden speed up and coming overnight would throw the city into chaos, but now it seems that it is busy, not chaotic, and orderly.
Zhou Xuan is a capable man. Fortunately, he was allowed to come to Hanzhong two years ago to serve as the county guard and build this last safe haven for the Wei family.
Now, the Wei family only has Hanzhong left.
After learning that Li Dachui was the posthumous son of the former Qin Crown Prince Li Jimin, Wei Yi knew that the Wei family basically had little choice.
The trap set by the insidious Li Dachui left little room for the Wei family to stand up. Seeking skin from a tiger is what the Wei family has done in the past two years.
Now that Wei's blood had been drained, Li Dachui attacked them.
So the Wei family could only bow down to the Linghu family.
This is their only way out.
But bending the knee without capital cannot impress Linghuye. Since Linghuye entered the pass, the imperial court headed by the Wei family and the Kou family have fought with them, causing many deaths and injuries.
As for the hatred between the two parties, it can be traced back to when Linghuye was still outside the pass. At that time, in order to restrict the Linghu clan, the court tried every means.
How to surrender to Linghuye while maintaining the most basic dignity, and how to still hold power under Linghuye's banner, are issues that Wei Zhengdao and Wei Yi need to seriously consider.
The emperor really doesn’t count.
Because once the two parties reached an agreement, Linghuye would definitely take the emperor away.
So the Wei family only had Hanzhong left.
Hanzhong is the most important place to guard Shu County.
The enemies of Shu County want to attack the Central Plains, and Hanzhong is a hurdle they cannot get around.
To defend Hanzhong is to hold the fate of Shu County by the throat.
As long as the Wei family can firmly control Hanzhong, they will have the capital to bargain with Linghuye. Although from now on, they will truly become Linghuye's eagle dog, and they will have to fight with Li Dachui's subordinates in Shuzhong in the coming years. Keep fighting.
This is the best ending right now.
He rode his horse to the foot of the county city, but the county governor Zhou Xuan also came out from the city to welcome him. He couldn't help being surprised when he saw Wei Yi's haggard appearance.
"General, didn't you arrive three days later? Why did you suddenly arrive early?" Zhou Xuan asked in a low voice, "Did something happen?"
"Let's talk after we go in. !” Wei Yidao said: “Some things are indeed beyond our expectations, and all our previous arrangements are meaningless!”
week Settling in! The logistics have been prepared for a long time."
"Thank you, Brother Zhou!" Wei Yi nodded. "Next, we have to prepare for war!"
"Linghu Shili is just a show-off, brave but without strategy, so he is not worthy of our concern!" Zhou Xuan said with a smile.
"It's not Linghu who recognizes the etiquette, but there may be an attack from Shu County!" Wei Yi's words made Zhou Xuan rein in his horse in shock.
"Shu County? Are we falling out with the Beiting Protectorate?"
"We have all been fooled by Li Dachui!" Wei Yi said with a bitter smile. "Let's go to the city first, and I'll tell you in detail later!" "Okay, the general will go to the city first to take a shower and change clothes. I've prepared a banquet to greet the general and wash away the dust. Looking at it like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to rest tonight." Zhou Xuan smiled.
Wei Yi nodded: "Everyone is settled, it will probably be dawn at the earliest! By the way, Brother Zhou, what are the regulations for the main road to Shu County now?"< br>
Zhou Xuandao: "Needless to say, I have always been prepared and have never dared to slack off!"
"That's good!"
The army is still slowly entering the city. Zhou Xuan is indeed a very capable man. Every time an army enters the city, the corresponding officers will immediately come forward to lead them and take them to the place where they camp.
Only when he threw himself into the tub and let the hot water slowly moisturize every piece of hair and skin on his body did Wei Yi truly relax.
A wise man must make a mistake after thinking a lot. Li Dachui is not a god, so he will make a mistake in the end.
As long as Hanzhong is still firmly in the hands of the Wei family, the Wei family will still have a chance to make a comeback.
The Great Qin world will soon become a tripod.
After destroying the Li Dachui Xiao Changche Group outside the Guan Yuan Dynasty, which was gaining momentum in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, they also owned key places like Shu County and were very powerful. Now Li Dachui had another title as the prince of the Li family.
Linghuye Group, which dominates the Central Plains and is supported by many wealthy families, is far ahead in terms of population, wealth, and geographical location.
The He Zudao Group is located in eight towns in the south of the Yangtze River. Although its territory is not large, it is quite wealthy. It can also use the Chu people to attack, so the He Zudao Group has a safe future.
The latter two groups, while fighting each other, are natural allies when dealing with Li Dachui and Xiao Changche Group.
It's a pity that the Wei family had the opportunity to become a pole in the fight for the world before, but now, they can only become a pawn.
But as long as you are in the game, there is no chance.
No one dares to say who will be the final winner until the end.
After bathing, he took off his heavy armor and put on comfortable robes. Under the guidance of the guards, he went straight to the main hall. Zhou Xuan stood outside the hall and greeted him with a smile on his face.
The aroma of fine wine and delicious food came to his nostrils, and Wei Yi, who had been feeling deep in his stomach all day and midnight, unexpectedly started to growl loudly, which made both of them laugh.
"General, please!" Zhou Xuandao said.
Stepping into the hall, the Eight Immortals table was filled with more than a dozen plates, large and small, and four pairs of bowls and chopsticks, which made Wei Yi stunned.
"Is there anyone else?"
"The general has always known that there are many subordinates, but he can't accompany them, so he invited two to accompany him. Today, the general must be drunk. Fang Xiu, it’s hard to say when we can get drunk again!” Zhou Xuandao.
Wei Yi nodded: "Yes, the next step must be one fierce battle after another. I really don't know when I can relax and drink again."
Sit down. When he was at the table, he looked at Zhou Xuan and said, "The guest of honor has arrived, but the accompanying guests haven't come yet?"
"Of course I'm here!" Zhou Xuan smiled and clapped his hands.
The sound of footsteps came from the back hall, and two people walked in one after another. They looked at Wei Yi and laughed loudly: "Brother Wei, long time no see. How are you?"
Looking at the two people who came in, Wei Yi stood up little by little, holding the armrests of the chair with both hands, his face full of shock and anger.
