Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 733 Step through the iron shoes and find nowhere

Han Shao returned to Wangyuan City to purge the army, and planned to rush to Jicheng to ask Ma Zun.

At ten o'clock at noon, another group of soldiers suddenly appeared at the west gate of Wangyuan. The person who came also called himself Jicheng Jiang Wei, and asked to enter the city to see the guard Zhao Yu.

In the morning, Zhang Fei pretended to be Jiang Wei of Jicheng and abducted his son-in-law Xiahoumao majesticly. Now that another Jiang Wei appeared in the same position, he had to make the guard of the city gate suspicious, and then quickly came to the county government to report to Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu was shocked after hearing this, and said to Jiang Wei, you are unlucky, and Han Shao is about to give you to Zhang Fei, and I can't find a reason to help you evade it, so you ran to a dead end by yourself.

How to do it?Zhao Yu was very conflicted, he could see that Xia Houmao hated him, so it would be bad for him to save him, and Jiang Wei had a good reputation in Tianshui, if he could save him, he could also seek favor from the Jiang family.

After repeatedly weighing the pros and cons, Zhao Yu finally made up his mind. He planned to leave the city without telling Han Shao. As long as he tried to delay Jiang Wei for two days, and waited for Zhang Fei to escort Xia Houmao to Qishan Road, Han Shao would naturally have nothing to do.

Zhao Yu hurried out of the county office, but accidentally ran into Han Shao in military uniform.

"Where is General Zhao going?" Han Shao was full of curiosity.

"Uh, the general is familiar with the terrain of Tianshui. Why don't I go to Jicheng on behalf of the general? Ma Taishou should meet Zhang Fei's request." Zhao Yu clasped his fists in his arms.

Han Shao frowned, thinking to himself why Zhao Yu had to wait until now to help?At this time, his strange expression was a bit suspicious, how dare Han Shao entrust Xia Houmao's life and death to an outsider?
"Zhang Fei may come at any time. General Zhao still guards Wangyuan. Jiang Wei's matter must not be wrong. I will go to Ma Taishou personally to talk about it." Han Shao replied seriously.

Zhao Yu rolled his eyes, and then made a suggestion: "Since General Han insists, then the general will not fight with you. It will take half a day to go to Jicheng, and the general needs to bring more water bags. Running on the road will make you thirsty."

"Thank you General Zhao for your kindness." Han Shao nodded in greeting.

"The last general has something to do at home, so let's take my leave first." Zhao Yu smiled and clasped his fists, turned around and told his followers: "Go and prepare a water bag for General Han, and ask someone to bring me the horse."

At this time, a fast horse came straight to the county government office, Zhao Yu hurriedly stopped his followers: "You should go and prepare the water bag, I will use a human horse."

"Wei." The follower clasped his fists and left.

Seeing that Han Shao and Zhao Yu were outside the Yamen, the messenger hurriedly pulled the reins and stopped in front of them, turned over beautifully and stood firmly on the ground.

Zhao Yu rushed forward one step ahead, snatched the rein from the messenger, and said solemnly: "Your mount, this general is temporarily requisitioned."

"General Zhao go quickly, Jiang Wei is urging him outside the city."

The word Jiang Wei stimulated the nerves of the two of them. Zhao Yu felt like crying but couldn't cry at the moment. He wondered why the messenger was so talkative.

"General Zhao, Jiang Wei is outside the city?"

Han Shao strode up to Zhao Yu and stared straight into the other's eyes. Zhao Yu's strange behavior finally had a source. He seemed to be going to tip off the news?

"Ahem, the general just found out, maybe Zhang Fei is cheating again, and the general is planning to go out of the city to verify the authenticity." Zhao Yu replied ambiguously.

Han Shao frowned when he heard that, he turned his head and asked the messenger: "Jiang Wei outside the city now, are those people from the morning?"

"Not quite like that." The orderly shook his head.

"General Zhao?" Han Shao called playfully.

Zhao Yu swallowed his saliva and replied, "The end is here."

"How about we go to identify it together?" Han Shao asked.

"Wei." Zhao Yu lowered his head.

Zhao Yu's mood at the moment is like being found cheating in an exam, and the invigilator sitting beside him is nervous and uneasy.

Han Shao whispered a few words to his entourage, and then followed Zhao Yu to the gate tower of the west city to meet Jiang Wei.

Seeing Zhao Yu appearing at the top of the city, Jiang Wei urged his horse to take a few steps forward, looked at the tower and clasped his fists and said, "Zhang Fei's troops suddenly disappeared yesterday. The eunuch was worried that he was going to earn money from Wangyuan and Shangyu, so he sent Jiang Wei here The counties are investigating the situation."

"I haven't heard that there is Jiang Wei in the Tianshui army. How can I prove that I am Ma Taishou? Maybe I am a spy. My random arrows don't have eyes." Zhao Yu raised his hand and waved. The archers lined up their bows and set their arrows.

Jiang Wei was taken aback when he heard this. Although he didn't know Zhao Yu, he wouldn't be unknown, right?He clasped his fists and explained: "I am Jiang Wei, the top strategist. General Zhao should have heard my name. Ma Taishou sent people to various counties to inquire about the news. It was the humble official who volunteered."

Earlier in Liangzhou, it was said that as long as he got the sinner Jiang Wei, he was willing to withdraw his troops. Since Zhang Fei had been entrenched around Jicheng for a long time, making life more difficult for the people in the city, his dissatisfaction with Jiang Wei became stronger.

Facing the huge pressure of survival, the rules of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trust gradually became invalid. Many people wanted to sacrifice Jiang Wei to save Jicheng. The prefect Ma Zun discussed with Liang Xu, Yin Shang and others several times, but he still thought of Jiang Jiong’s contribution and did not agree. .

Gong Cao Liang Xu had a friendship with Jiang Wei, he secretly advised Jiang Wei to go out to "refuge", and used the metaphor of "Shen Sheng died inside, Chong'er was safe outside", so Jiang Wei asked Ying to appear in Wangyuan.

"Well, do you have evidence?" Zhao Yu was deliberately embarrassed.

Jiang Wei was very puzzled, how could he have evidence for his low-ranking status, he smiled helplessly: "General Zhao is so cautious, the general admires it, anyway, Zhang Fei is not found around Wangyuan, Jiang Wei will go to Shangyu to have a look, I will say goodbye at the end"

Zhao Yu was ecstatic in his heart. He thought he was covering up well and was doing things according to the morning routine, but Han Shao next to him didn't think so. He didn't think Zhang Fei would be so boring and used the name Jiang Wei repeatedly for fun.

"Jiang Boyue, wait a moment." Han Shao stepped forward and called out.

Jiang Wei looked at the stranger on the city wall with a puzzled expression on his face.

"I am Han Shao, the accountant of General Anxi (Xiahoumao). General Anxi rushed to aid Liangzhou under the order of His Majesty. He has successfully driven Zhang Fei into Qishan Road, so there is no need to go to Shangyu to inquire about the news, but hurry to the city to meet him. Xiahou's son-in-law, then go back to Jicheng to report victory." Han Shao stroked his beard and nodded.

"General Anxi defeated Zhang Fei?" Jiang Wei was very surprised.

"General Zhao, why don't you ask people to open the city gate? General Boyue has worked hard all the way. He will go to the city to meet his son-in-law later, and he should drink some water before returning to Jicheng. Don't treat young people like this." Han Shao pretended to ask responsibility.

"The last general dare not, I will arrange it immediately."

Zhao Yu knew that Han Shao had no good intentions, but Xia Houmao had been taken away by Zhang Fei, so who would Jiang Wei meet after entering the city?As soon as he turned around, Han Shao immediately leaned forward, and scolded in a subdued voice: "General Zhao, you'd better do as I tell you, otherwise I'm only asking about the safety of the son-in-law."
