Chapter 101.1

In Xihe County and Shang County, Huangshui and Liangzhou border area, the forces of Liangzhous ruler, Feng Zhao, the Shao Dang tribe, the Beihe tribe, and other tribes of Qiang intertwined with each other. The situation was even more complicated with the Xiongnu in the north, and chaos sometimes occurred.

The first thing Wei Shao did from the time he took over Bingzhou last year was to set up troops in the Xihe wilderness, building a fortress and gates for 20 miles. Zhang Jian, Li Chong, and Wei Liang guarded the area, showing how determined he was to stabilize the area.

The situation in this area was under his control from the middle of last year to the end of the year, and all parties were safe and sound. However, at the beginning of this year, the Shao Dang tribe of Qiang attacked Shang County with its cavalry. They quickly repulsed the attack because they had been on guard without suffering major damage. They suspected that Feng Zhao of Liangzhou was involved in the incident, so Wei Shao personally came from Youzhou to quell the situation.

A few days ago, Wei Shao finished his duty in Xihe County and wanted to return to Jinyang. Before leaving, he took a small group of his followers with him and went to the area of the Great Wall to survey the terrain. Unexpectedly, they encounter hundreds of Feng Zhaos men, and the arrows rain down on him.

Due to afraid of losing Gongsun Yang, Wei Shao escorted him to retreat first. Accidentally, he was wounded in one of his arms by a poisoned arrow. After returning, he collapsed. Once he laid down, seven or eight days had passed.

At night, the river banks in Xihe wilderness were dark, and the military camp was silent. One could only hear the sound of patrolling soldiers footsteps.

In Wei Shaos tent, the candlelight was bright. Zhang Jian, Li Chong, Wei Liang, and other generals who came to visit had left. Wei Shao looked slightly paler than usual but still in good spirits. He was not lying down, but sitting behind the desk, talking with Gongsun Yang under the candlelight. A three-foot square sheepskin map laid out on the desk in front of him. Wei Shaos eyes fell on the map.

As Gongsun Yang talked, a plan emerged before Wei Shaos eyes. Destroying Feng Zhao, who had always been Xing Xuns minion, then conquering Xihe, so he could pass through Yumen and open up the way to the west. Most importantly, it can isolate the traffic connection between the Qiang and Xiongnu.Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only

Seeing Wei Shao hesitate, Gongsun Yang smiled and said, Later, after we suppress the Qiang and Hu people, Lord can appoint a trustworthy person to act as the Qiang Protector to carry out the responsibility of a protector. If the western border is peaceful, you can plan for great things. You can extend your prominence to the western area!

A light flashing in Wei Shaos eyes, he smiled and said. Then, Ill trouble you.

Gongsun Yang said, It was my responsibility, so why do I have to be troubled?

Wei Shao felt some emotions, pressed his hands on the desk, suddenly rose, and said: If the appeasement can be successful, I will give great merit to you!

He suddenly felt dizzy before the words left his mouth, and his body swayed a little, but his movements were minimal. He soon stabilized and continued to talk and laugh, but Gongsun Yang had caught it in his eyes. He hastily got up to support him, saying, It is not early. The Lord has not yet recovered from illness. It is better to rest early. I will leave now.

Wei Shao pushed away his hand, laughing: I am not a woman who can collapse from the wind. It was only a flesh wound, and I had recuperated for many days. Why do you have to do this? I have long been well, but you always like to make a fuss, forbid me to do this, forbid me to do that

He suddenly seemed to think of something and said, Since there is nothing more to do here for the time being, Id better leave tomorrow and go back to Jinyang. If there is any urgent matter, send an urgent report via fast horse.

Seeing that Gongsun Yang seemed about to speak again, he interrupted with a wave of his hand, No need to persuade me anymore. I know how my health is. Besides, it is convenient to travel from here to Jinyang. I will leave tomorrow morning.
