    "Jiang Wei? Are you Jiang Wei?" Liu Cong was surprised and happy when he heard that this little guy was Jiang Wei.

    After meeting Jiang Xu, Liu Cong asked about Jiang Juan's situation and learned that Zhang He had died in the city when he raided Tianshui.  Liu Cong was a little regretful at the time, thinking that Jiang Wei was not spared either. This famous Shu Han general in history fell before he even rose because of his own appearance.

    "What, has your lord heard of this subordinate?" Xiao Jiang Wei asked with wide eyes.

    "Your father is a hero of my great Han Dynasty. He has fought against foreign invasions many times and protected the people of Xiliang. It's a pity"

    "Thank you, lord, I still remember my father" Xiao Jiang Wei was very moved after hearing Liu Cong's words. Tears rolled around in his eyes several times, and he couldn't hold it back and fell down.

    Ma Teng and Han Sui should have remembered the things his father did, but they didn't care at all. Liu Cong, who was far away in Jingzhou, actually remembered it. How could Jiang Wei not be moved?  When his father Jiang Juan was alive, he often mentioned Liu Cong, and every time he mentioned it, he was full of admiration. It seems that Liu Cong is indeed different from Ma Teng, Han Sui and others.

    "Jiang Wei, do you have any words?"

    "My father named me Boyue when I was just born!"

    "Boyo, why did you see me this time?"

    "I request to accompany your lord on the expedition!" Although Jiang Wei's childlike voice did not fade away, he seemed confident.

    "Ha" Liu Cong smiled, "How old are you?"

    "Fourteen!"

    "You're only fourteen years old! If you want to go on an expedition, just wait a few more years!"

    "My lord, fourteen is not young anymore. Why don't you become prime minister after hearing Gan Luo Twelve?"

    ¡°Young people have high ambitions, that¡¯s good!¡± Seeing Jiang Wei¡¯s appearance, Liu Cong was very satisfied, ¡°But the battlefield is not a battlefield where children can go!¡±

    "My lord, I heard that your Pingxi general Deng Ai also started leading troops at the age of fourteen. Is it true?" Jiang Wei asked.

    "This" Liu Cong thought for a moment. It is true that Deng Ai was around fourteen years old when he first fought in the war. However, Deng Ai seemed to be more mature than Jiang Wei at that time, and he did not have any generals available under his command.  "Boyo, at your age, you should study hard at home and learn military tactics. If you lead troops in war in the future, you will definitely become a famous general!"

    "My lord, I have practiced martial arts since I was a child, read military books, and determined to be a general who guards the borders for the Han Dynasty. But if I don't practice in the army and just study, will I become an armchair warrior? My lord, I need to be like Lian Po.  General, or do we need a general like Zhao Kuo?"

    "Ha" Liu Cong was amused by Jiang Wei again, but what Jiang Wei said did make some sense, "Bo Yue, your father is not here, so you must listen to your mother and brother. If they agree, I will let you join the army.  Go to war!"

    "Thank you, lord, thank you, lord!" Jiang Wei saluted Liu Cong, "I will tell my brother and mother now."

    When the army set out the next day, there was a child of thirteen or fourteen years old next to military advisor Fazheng. He must be Jiang Wei.

    In the Prefecture of Jincheng, Han Sui sent Cheng Gongying and Yan Xing to the study to discuss countermeasures.

    Liu Cong won the battle in Xicheng. Immediately afterwards, Chencang and Hao Zhao surrendered, and Tianshui Street Pavilion was captured. Then Anding, Longxi, and Longyou all fell. The three armies came with great momentum. The princes of Xiliang were all panic-stricken.

    "Cheng Yin, Hou Xuan, Yang Qiu, and Ma Wan all died in the battle. Ma Chao and Ma Dai fled to Wudu. Now Liu Cong personally leads an army to attack our Jincheng. Do you have any clever strategies to repel the enemy?" Han Sui was a little flustered.  .

    "My lord, the Han army has strong soldiers and brave generals, and the situation is more serious than the last time Cao Cao sent troops." Cheng Gongying looked sad.

    The last time Cao Cao captured Tianshui, he actually tried his best and was almost at the end of his might.  As long as all the princes in Liangzhou unite, they can stop it.  But this time, Liu Cong was so powerful that he had already captured half of Liangzhou in such a short period of time.  Now moving westward along both sides of the Yellow River and the Wei River, it is impossible for them to unite their forces in one place.

    "Yan Ming, are you sure you can defeat the enemy?" Han Sui asked Yan Xing.

    Yan Xing¡¯s courage is no less than Ma Chao.  It was because of him and Cheng Gongying that Han Sui gradually became the most powerful among the Xiliang princes.

    "My lord, if we want to fight Liu Cong decisively, I will have no choice but to fight to the death. As for the outcome? I can't predict the outcome!" Yan Xing's expression was very solemn.

    The last time Cao Cao attacked Xiliang, Yan Xing was not worried at all. He was not afraid of either Zhang He or Xiahou Dun.  But Huang Zhong was different. He had been watching the battle with Ma Chao.  And??Later I heard that he defeated Zhang Fei and drew with Guan Yu.  Yan Xing knew that he was no match.  Moreover, Liu Cong and Fazheng were both resourceful and had twice the strength of Jincheng, so there was no chance of winning this battle.

    "Chenggong Military Advisor, you have always been extremely resourceful. Do you have a good strategy to defeat the enemy this time?"

    "My lord, in this battle, let alone my subordinates, even Zhang Liang and Han Xin have no chance of winning!" Cheng Gongying shook his head, "I wonder what my lord's ambition is?"

    Of course Han Sui understood what Cheng Gongying meant.  If you aspire to dominate the world, you must either fight or flee.  If you don't have that ambition, you will surrender to Liu Cong.

    The whole army will definitely be wiped out in battle. If you run away, where can you go?  Jiuquan, or out of Jiayuguan, all the way to the Western Regions.  Even if I wasn't destroyed at that time, could I still come back?

    Since you can¡¯t come back, how can you talk about fighting for world hegemony?

    "Cao Cao, Liu Cong, Sun Quan, these are all the heroes of the world. I can't compare with them. I originally expected to be able to occupy the desolate land of Xiliang, but now it seems that it is no longer possible. Chenggong Military Advisor, you and Yanming are in charge,  Let¡¯s discuss the matter of surrender!¡±

    "Promise!" Cheng Gongying and Yan Xing both breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Han Sui's words.

    Xiliang was originally a barren land, and the people were miserable.  If there are no merchants coming and going, it will not be enough to raise troops. If war breaks out again, I don't know what will happen.

    Liu Cong's army arrived outside Jincheng and set up camp. The next day Cheng Gongying and Yanxing came to see Liu Cong.

    Han Sui chose to surrender, which made Liu Cong very happy. Jiuquan, Jiayuguan and other places also announced the decision.

    Li Yan led the army on the right and was blocked by Zhang Heng and Cheng Yi in Wuwei. After a five-day battle, the city of Wuwei was destroyed and Zhang Heng Chengyi was killed. Later, Guzang, Zhangye and other counties also announced the decision.

    Deng Ai's army on the left was also overwhelming, conquering Qishan and Xicheng, defeating Liang Xing and Li Kan in Wudu, beheading both of them, and then occupied Yinping.  Ma Chao led hundreds of remnant troops, Ma Dai, Pang De and others to flee to Yizhou.

    Liu Cong appointed Han Sui as the governor of Liangzhou and managed the government affairs of Liangzhou.  Li Yan was the general of Anxi, and Su Ze and Yang Fu were the deputy generals. They led an army of 10,000 people to temporarily station in Jincheng and were responsible for all military affairs in Liangzhou.

    Deng Ai, Liao Hua, and Zhou Cang led 10,000 troops to garrison in Yinping, and Zhu Ling led 5,000 troops to garrison in Jiayuguan to ensure the safety of the trade routes to the Western Regions.

    Five days later, Liu Cong led Huang Zhong, Yan Xing, Cheng Gongying, Fazheng and others to return to Luoyang.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
