Liu Chan was busy marrying the princess of Dayuan and enriching his harem. He was considered the happiest man. However, just when he was happily marrying his wife, thousands of miles away, the Han and Wei Dynasties were very likely to fall apart because of one thing.
The gun went off and the war started again.
November 4, 238 AD.
Daijun.
"According to the peace agreement between the two parties, your country can only withdraw the garrison from Dai County..." Wei Yan said sternly: "The rest of the people are not allowed to leave Dai County."
"General Wei!" A man in his fifties with a prosperous face retorted: "We are not civilians. My three sons are all soldiers of the Wei army stationed in Dai County... Now that my son is leaving, I will
Naturally, I want to follow them and withdraw from Dai County, and I also ask General Wei to be accommodating."
"Young master, you are using this to deceive me!"
Wei Yan pointed at the man and shouted loudly, "This is not the first time this has happened. From the moment he entered Dai County with the army, the Wei army has been uncooperative in various ways.
At first, they were dilly-dallying because they were unwilling to hand over the military power of Dai County and wanted to delay the process.
Their reasons are also very simple and reasonable.
"We have not received any edict from the Wei Dynasty."
"Are you planning to invade Daijun?"
Wei Yan arrived a little early. As soon as he received the news, he led 20,000 cavalry to Dai County to take over the military and administration of Dai County.
However, two days later, Wei's official edict finally reached Daijun. Zhou Shen, the governor of Daijun, was still unwilling to withdraw from Daijun easily. However, facing Wei Yan's 20,000 cavalry, he seemed to be no match for him if he wanted to resist.
.
At the same time, he naturally knew long ago that the Wei army was defeated in Jinzhong and the emperor was captured alive by the Han army.
Originally, they wanted to wait and see to see what the final result would be.
The Han army placed the emperor of Wei under house arrest, and then Wei elected a new monarch and so on.
Or maybe Wei Guo was in civil strife because of this.
If it's the latter, as a prefect of a county with soldiers and generals, they have many choices. Those with a little ability can use it as a base to continue to develop and grow.
What a pity——
Zhou Shen, the governor of Daijun, is not this kind of person.
He was also waiting, but what he was waiting for was the final outcome of Han and Wei. He was thinking about whether the emperor of Wei was captured and whether the war between Han and Wei would continue.
What he didn't expect was that within a few days, the Han army came over and announced to the surrounding counties of Dai County that the Han and Wei Dynasties had reached a peace agreement, and the Wei State had assigned Dai County to the Han Dynasty. From then on, Dai County became the representative of the Han Dynasty.
County.
At the same time, all Wei troops stationed in Daijun were required to withdraw from Daijun within one month, but not a single civilian was allowed to evacuate.
In an instant, both the military and political parties in the county were in a panic.
The imperial court was defeated and the states and counties they guarded were ceded.
Of course, the people in various counties are also panicking. They have always lived under the rule of the Wei State, but they do not want to suddenly become the people of the Han Dynasty.
‘Will the great Han...be like the great Wei?’
‘We should follow the army and withdraw from Daijun.’
‘My family has settled in Daijun...I don’t want to leave.’
'The laws of the Han Dynasty are very strict...'
In short, for a time, both the military and political leaders and the common people at Daijun were more or less worried about Daijun being transferred to the Han Dynasty.
However, the Wei imperial court has issued an edict, ordering the military and political officials of the counties in Daijun, as well as the garrison in Daijun, to immediately withdraw to Shanggu County.
This is an official edict.
After two or three days of deliberations, the senior military and political leaders of Daijun decided to follow the imperial edict and prepare to withdraw from Daijun on a certain date.
But——
Just after the Daijun Prefecture issued a retreat order, the Han army camp located outside Daijun City was suddenly overcrowded for several days.
They are the people of Daijun.
Their purpose is also very simple, which is to apply to the Han army to accompany the Wei army to withdraw from Dai County.
At first, Wei Yan didn't think so.
Because their reasons are quite good.
‘Our son is a soldier from Daijun.’
‘My father is a soldier from Daijun.’
‘I... am a soldier from Daijun.’
To put it simply, the reason why they applied to withdraw from Daijun with the army is that they have relatives who are soldiers in Daijun. Since their relatives want to retreat, they have to retreat with them.
At first, a small number of people applied, and Wei Yan accepted it naturally. After all, this is human nature.
But——
Soon many people came asking for retreat.
"From now on..." Wei Yan pointed at everyone and sternly ordered: "Except for the Wei army stationed in Dai County, as well as the county magistrates, county guards, etc., no one else is allowed to leave Dai County."
"General Wei!"
"General Wei!"
"My son is gone, what are we doing here in Daijun?"
"That's easy to do;" Wei Yan said with a smile: "Let your sons stay too. All the Wei soldiers who are willing to serve as soldiers will be retained under special circumstances, and each of them will be rewarded with one liter of rice."
Wei Yan is not stupid either. He seems to have figured out that this must be a trick played by the people of Wei in order to move away the people of Daijun.
Because after what he learned in the past few days, the entire county of Dai County only has 60,000 to 70,000 people, and the number of people who have applied to evacuate with the army in the past few days has reached tens of thousands.
If you agree to these tens of thousands of people, wait until all Wei troops withdraw.
Isn’t Daijun just an empty county town?
Want to steal a beam and replace it with a pillar?
What a beautiful thought.
But——
Upon learning that the Han army refused to allow the family members of the Wei army to move with the army, the Daijun Prefecture immediately stopped the withdrawal.
"He doesn't agree...then we don't agree to withdraw from Daijun." Zhou Shen, the governor of Daijun, said coldly.
"The county guard is brilliant!" Deputy General Huang Zhen complimented: "If we don't evacuate Dai County, let's see how the Han army takes over Dai County."
When Zhou Shen heard this, although he didn't say anything, he was still a little worried in his heart.
While the two were chatting in the prefect's mansion, suddenly a junior high school officer ran in from outside. The primary school commander said anxiously: "Alert to the governor, the Han army is coming."
"Han Army?" Zhou Shen stood up suddenly and asked in confusion: "What are the Han Army doing here?"
"It's like... it's like we're going to attack the county!" the principal said truthfully.
"Siege the city?" Zhou Shen was stunned.
This was also what he was most worried about. Although Daijun also had more than 10,000 troops stationed there, Daijun's soldiers and horses had not fought for several years. At this time, facing the wolf-like and tiger-like Han army, they could not stop the Han army. Army?
"Don't worry, Sheriff!" Huang Zhen said coldly: "My Daijun garrison is not a vegetarian. Since Wei Yan wants to take over Daijun by force, let him use cavalry to attack the city."
"..."
Zhou Shen's face was gloomy and he did not accept Huang Zhen's proposal, but he did not object either.
"Sheriff, give the order!"
"The imperial court was forced to cede Daijun;" Huang Zhen added: "As the saying goes, the general will not accept the order of the foreign king... How can the county governor easily give up the territory of the Wei Dynasty?"
Huang Zhen was right in what he said, but Zhou Shen was in trouble.
As the prefect of a county, he is naturally responsible for defending the city.
However, the imperial court has issued an edict, ordering them to evacuate to Shanggu County within one month, and also ordered him to evacuate at least half of the people in Dai County.
This——
At first, they thought of allowing the people of Dai County to move with the army on the grounds that they were relatives of the soldiers. However, after the Han army only agreed to less than a thousand people, they rejected the requests of other people to join the army.
Now the Han army has arrived at the city.
What should we do?
