Never underestimate Liu Bei's charm, even if he is already sixty-four this year.
After being defeated and surrounded, with no way out, Wen Qin faced Liu Bei's persuasion to surrender. After much hesitation, Wen Qin finally chose to surrender.
There was no way, Liu Bei moved Wen Qin's father Wen Ji out.
In the early years, when Liu Bei was still hanging out with Cao Cao in Xuchang, he did know Cao Cao's confidant Colonel Wen Ji, but there is a saying that the two were just acquaintances. That is to say, when Liu Bei went to visit Cao Cao, Wen Ji accompanied Cao Cao several times. This time, we just got to know each other.
But now, Liu Beifei said that he and Wen Ji were old friends, and he really couldn't bear to abandon his old friend's heir, so he came to ask Wen Qin specifically.
If you surrender, as your uncle, we won't treat you badly, and your family doesn't have to worry. Even though the two countries are at war, Liu Bei is still Cao Pi's elder. Write a letter to ask Wen Qin's family , I think Cao Pi would not deny this face.
If you don't want to surrender, I, Liu Bei, am not the kind of person who wants to exterminate an old friend. I will let you go back now. Just don't join the army to fight in the future. I really have no shame in seeing you on the battlefield.
Wen Qin was quite hesitant.
What kind of friendship could Liu Bei have with his father? Did Wen Qin himself not know about it?
But the question is, what is Liu Bei's identity now, and what is his father's identity? !
No matter what, Liu Bei is the king of a country and a hero of the world. He took the initiative to say so. This is something to put gold on Wen Ji's face. Can Wen Qin refute that Liu Bei is talking nonsense? !
The king of a country is so full that he wants to have friendship with you, the son of an unknown school captain? !
Therefore, Wen Qin may or may not recognize the title of Shibo.
But if you admit it this way, the Wen family is no longer a pure family of Cao family. How can you, Cao Cao's personal guard, have a deep friendship with Liu Bei? !
This matter, it can be big or small.
If it reaches Cao Cao's ears, Cao Cao will probably laugh out loud, and at most alienate Wen Ji a little, but he will definitely not lose the wealth of the Wen family.
But if this word reaches Cao Pi's ears, there will be the impact of the "Wei Zhi Conspiracy Case" ahead.
This was tantamount to cutting off Wen Qin's way of returning to the Wei Dynasty.
But in this matter, can you say that Liu Bei was responsible? !
Liu Bei didn't know that Wen Qin was involved in Wei Zhi's rebellion, and that coming to Guanzhong to join the army was "remaining on probation". Moreover, Liu Bei didn't know how big-minded Cao Pi was, right? !
Liu Bei still asked Cao Pi based on Cao Cao's impression. He really didn't think that Cao Pi could take his polite words seriously. How could the majestic leader of a country not have such a small amount of tolerance? !
Wen Qin also knew that this was a coincidence and Liu Bei could not be blamed, so he was a little helpless.
In addition, this is not the first time that Wen Qin has been arrested. Wu Zhangyuan was arrested once, but he was kindly let you go, but now he is arrested again.
Wen Qin himself was already a little ashamed.
Just like what Liu Bei said, he will really have no shame to join the army in the future. If he encounters the Shu army again on the battlefield and is arrested again, then Wen Qin will really give up his life and just find a crooked-neck tree that is pleasing to his eyes. Forget it.
But if he no longer joins the army after returning, when will he have the opportunity to rise with the Wen family's financial foundation? !
After much deliberation, Wen Qin really struggled for a long time. Finally, he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet and surrendered.
There is no way, Wen Qin is still young after all, and he still has a lot of time to make contributions and establish a career. Seeing that Da Wei will not be able to survive in the Zhenzheng family, it is better to simply change the environment and see if there is any chance to get ahead with the Han Dynasty.
And as the son of Wen Ji, Wen Qin felt that he was worthy of the Cao family.
His father died in battle while defending Cao Cao on the battlefield. After fighting to the death at Wuzhangyuan, he risked his life three times in Huaili City. Isn't that enough to repay the kindness of Emperor Taizu Wu? !
The only thing Wen Ji cared about was his family left in Yecheng, his wife, and his eldest son.
But this matter, Liu Bei really solved it.
It's not that Liu Bei really wrote to Cao Pi, asking Cao Pi to send Wen Qin's family as an elder. Even if Liu Bei had this face, Cao Pi might not listen.
This matter was resolved later, so I won’t mention it here for now.
After Wen Qin surrendered, Liu Bei immediately rushed to Zhao Yun's camp without stopping. Guan Qiujian had been captured alive by Zhao Yun and imprisoned in his own camp.
Compared with Wen Qin, Guanqiu Jian's surrender was simpler.
Guanqiu Jian admitted that since joining the army, he has never done anything wrong to the Wei Dynasty. Every time he fought, he fought with all his heart, and every time he fought bravely, he took the lead. However, he was captured in this situation, and he did not have to do anything for it. The reason why Wei was so loyal, why didn't he surrender? !
The "Loyal Minister of the Great Wei" in history has not received much favor from the Great Wei. His official position is only that of a school captain. He has not even joined Cao Rui's literary staff. Do you expect him to have any influence on the Great Wei? How much emotion.
Besides, the Guanqiu family can be considered a Hedong family, and he also risked his life to cut off the queen and surrender after defeat. If the Cao family still wants to hold Guanqiu Jian's family responsible, it would be a bit too ungrateful.
Therefore, compared to Wen Qin who was hesitant to surrender, Guanqiu Jian saw Liu Bei taking the initiative to persuade him to surrender and surrendered without saying a word.
Nonsense, the monarch personally persuaded you to surrender. I have given you this face. If you don't surrender, you will really have no choice but to die.
After surrendering two young generals, Liu Bei was satisfied. After reorganizing his army in Huaili, he divided his troops into two groups and marched all the way to Chang'an. Under the leadership of Zhuge Liang, he followed Cao Zhen and other retreating troops and gathered the scattered people along the way. .
Entering Chang'an this time was basically just a formality. Chang'an was basically an empty city. All the people who could be moved were moved away by Man Chong, and there were almost none who could not be moved.
On the contrary, the task of pursuing Cao Zhen was quite arduous.
The rapid retreat of the Wei army will inevitably affect Man Chong and others who are relocating the people. No one is blocking the way back. How can Man Chong still have the intention to move the people all the way? !
As a result, Man Chong's migration team will inevitably be chaotic, and with so many people migrating, once chaos occurs, Man Chong cannot suppress it with the thousands of county soldiers in his hands.
In that case, there are bound to be people who leave the migrating troops without authorization and live in the countryside because they are afraid of being pursued by the Han army. Man Chong will definitely not care so much. He will definitely choose to move as many people as he can to move in first. .
Therefore, the pursuit of the team along the way was not so much about chasing the Wei army as it was about relieving the people.
This is why the leading general is Zhuge Liang, and the deputy general is Huang Quan.
These two men are both civil and military masters. They can not only lead troops to fight, but also appease the local people. It is most appropriate to send them there.
In fact, the situation of Man Chong's relocation brigade was even worse than Liu Bei expected.
The defeated armies of Cao Zhen and Guo Huai soon caught up with the still migrating Man Chong group, and Man Chong was shocked when he saw the arrival of these two men.
What the hell, it was agreed upon for fifteen days. It has only been twelve days and you two have already retreated here. Can the Shu thieves behind you be far away? !
And the most important thing is that you have just lost the battle. You have seen everything that the migration brigade can see.
It doesn't matter if the common people see it. The common people of this era have never seen much of the world. But if the county soldiers and the noble families in the team see the messy appearance of you retreating, what will they think? !
When Te Man Chong thought on his heels, he knew something was going to happen.
But now Man Chong does not have enough troops to suppress him, and even the county soldiers are panicked and do not listen to him at all.
Even the elite imperial army was defeated, and less than half of the soldiers returned. Who would have the heart to escort the migrating people into the customs so slowly?
Either flee on the spot and return to Guanzhong, or collude with some wealthy families who have "different aspirations" to take the opportunity to stir up trouble, create chaos, and fish in troubled waters.
Speaking of which, today's Guanzhong aristocratic families have little ability and no structure.
It's just that this group of people didn't have the courage to rebel directly before. After all, Cao Wei's army is still there, and the consequences of failing to rebel will be serious.
But now that Cao Wei's army was defeated and suffered heavy losses, they actually just wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape back to their hometown and save their own property before Liu Bei came to Guanzhong. They didn't even have the confidence to tie up Man Chong and present it to the emperor. No.
It was because these Guanzhong aristocratic families really lacked long-term vision and lacked a sufficient structure that Man Chong escaped.
Although chaos inevitably occurred in the relocation team, many people took the opportunity to escape from the relocation team and wanted to return to their hometowns. However, Man Chong finally, with the help of Guo Huai and Cao Zhen, gathered and escorted a group of people who did not follow the troublemaker , quickly retreated into Wuguan Road.
As for the people who were making trouble, Man Chong really didn't care and let them fend for themselves.
Man Chong still doesn't believe it. Can those county soldiers be good people? ! Can those families who create chaos be good people? !
They are all just for their own interests. If you, the common people, are just joining in the fun, aren't you asking for trouble for yourself?
Unless God opens his eyes, these people who follow the trouble will most likely end up being robbed, frozen to death, or starved to death in the wilderness.
Then... God really opened his eyes.
Zhuge Liang and Huang Quan led the army in time and caught up with the rebels.
There was no need to do anything else. The people who had been hungry for two days and were stationed at the porridge factory gathered here spontaneously.
