Han Shimou

At first glance, he looks like a fairy, and this old man who is over eighty years old seems to have been waiting for a long time.This person is the head of the Western Tang Dynasty, Cai Feibai and Cai Yong of the Han Dynasty!Cai Yong knew a lot about self-cultivation, and also learned Tai Chi and Wu Qin Xi. He kept fit every day. Although he was nearly [-] years old, his complexion was still very good. Compared with some [-]-year-olds, he was much more energetic.Originally, Wen Han intended to invite Cai Yong to move to Chang'an Palace together, but Cai Yong was used to life in Anyi, and he didn't want to worry about the affairs of the world anymore.After all, with Cai Yong's strict temperament, if he was in Chang'an, he would definitely say a few words whenever he encountered important matters.Cai Yong also knew his temperament, so he chose to stay in Anyi, and he also ended up having a leisurely life. He usually enjoys raising birds and writing books at home, and from time to time he writes some family letters with Cai Yan to express his lovesickness.When Wenhan and others came to the main hall of the county yamen, Cai Yan exclaimed when he saw his father, tears almost came out of his eyes.Cai Yong turned around and saw his daughter whom he missed day and night, he called na na a few times, almost tearing down.

When Wen Han saw his former master, he didn't dare to act presumptuously, and hurriedly bowed his hands and worshiped him.

"Baby pay homage to the father-in-law!"

After Wen Han finished speaking, Guan Yu and others also paid homage.Cai Yong has always attached great importance to etiquette, and he is also strict and upright, he and other brothers dare not be presumptuous.After hearing this, Cai Yong's expression darkened, his eyes narrowed, and he bowed to Wen Han rigorously.

"Veteran Cai Bojie, pay homage to Tang Wang! Long live my king!"

After the ceremony, Wen Han walked over to Cai Yong, followed by Guan Yu and others, all of them pretending to be listening to the teaching.Cai Yong glanced at everyone indifferently, a gratification flashed in the corner of his eyes, and then said slowly.

"My lord, you brothers are not what they used to be. You are not kings or marquises. You are no longer the yellow-haired scorpion in Luoyang. You don't need to be so cautious. The old man only hopes that you and other brothers can be more tied to the people of the world. Don't forget It fulfilled the grand ambition of driving the world with public opinion!"

"I will always remember the teachings of the country's father!!"

Wen Han and others bowed their hands together, and they could regard Cai Yong as a teacher and a father.Cai Yong nodded slightly, then took Cai Yan's hand, and said to Cai Yan.

"Yan'er, you haven't been home for a long time, so I went home with my father, so that I can relieve my longing for all these years."

Cai Yong knew that he was here, and Wen Han and others did not dare to be presumptuous. He also knew that Guan Yu had already arranged a banquet. He was afraid that Wen Han would neglect Cai Yan, so he simply took Cai Yan away, and asked him to wait for his brothers to have a good gathering and have a good drink. .Cai Yan has always been understanding, so he realized it, nodded slightly, and cast a wink at Wen Han, as if to signal him not to drink too much.Wen Han thought of her and smiled.When Cai Yan saw him, he left with Cai Yong.

"Even though Duke Cai is in his eighties, his majesty remains the same as in previous years!"

Seeing Cai Yong leave, Xu Huang sighed, and his tense nerves just let go, just like watching a child whose master left the school.After hearing this, everyone nodded unanimously, and they all agreed with it very much.After Cai Yong left, Guan Yu led the crowd to the prepared banquet.The four brothers drank non-stop and cheered continuously. Sometimes they talked about the past, and sometimes they talked about the trend of the world.

Since Xi Chuan came back, except for the selection of concubines, Wen Han has rarely worried about anything, and even got two stunning beauties, Xiang Fei and Yu Fei, and got together with his brothers to relieve the pain of lovesickness.This period of time can be said to be the happiest and most leisurely time for Wen Han since he became the queen of the Western Tang Dynasty.

At this time, in Xichuan.Following the whereabouts of Wen Han's edict, Xu Shu and Zhao Yun discussed together, and the two went their separate ways.Zhao Yun recruited more than [-] elite soldiers, and took Deng Ai and Wang Shuang from Zhang Liao's army. Then, according to Xu Shu's words, in order not to startle the snake, he allocated Wangjiaozhou to increase troops.Deng Ai and Wang Shuang each led a troop and went away.After Xu Shu's supplies, weapons and other preparations were complete, Zhao Yun personally led the rear army to march.

However, Deng Ai went to Qilan City first, and secretly dispatched secret agents to investigate near Shi'an every day, and then, according to Zhao Yun's earlier instructions, secretly contacted Fei Yuan who had already sneaked into Shi'an.

And just when the Western Tang Army was preparing to attack Shi'an.In Shi'an City, Ma Liang had a worried expression on his face, his brows were deeply furrowed, and he spoke with Fazheng in a deep voice.

"Xiaozhi, if we take in the people like this, there must be many fine works of the Western Tang Dynasty. If we don't stop them, it will become a disaster in the long run!!"

When Fazheng heard the words, he narrowed his eyes and spoke in a concentrated voice.

"Ji Chang doesn't need to worry too much. But it's not up to you to find out all the people who enter the city one by one. You have always acted cautiously. How could there be any young people who sneak into the city!?"

Hearing the words, Ma Liang sighed and said bitterly.

"You don't know Xiaozhi. If it's an ordinary and meticulous work, you can't hide it from me. But in the early years, the extraordinary writing was used in Sichuan, and it was mostly distributed in flying kites. These flying kites are not only skilled, but also deeply understand secrets, The art of hiding, and there are secret organizations, many people have long been living in the middle of Sichuan as ordinary people. And in the past six months, tens of thousands of people have voted. It is absolutely impossible to find out. I also It’s intentional but powerless! If the Xitang thieves attack suddenly and join the flying kites in the city, Shi’an must be in danger!! You and I need to be more cautious!!”

After hearing this, Fazheng's complexion sank, a look of anxiety flashed in his eyes, and then he suppressed it quickly and asked Ma Liang.

"How did you talk with that friend?"

Ma Liang's expression darkened when he heard this, and he nodded slightly.

"Just as the Prime Minister expected, this Nie You is a coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but he is also very fond of money. I have sent an envoy before to present him with a large amount of money. Nie You is overjoyed and has promised to present it in congratulations."

Fazheng opened his eyes, his eyes flickered, and he spoke harshly.

"The prime minister is really good at predicting things. What is even more admirable is that he has already planned ahead and sent a spy to inquire in the Jiaozhou area. He knows the officials of Jiaozhou well. Nowadays, talented people such as Zhu Zhi and Zhuge Ke are all I left to look at Wu Nan for help. Jiaozhou was empty, but all those left behind were mediocre and useless. In this way, we followed the plan of the prime minister, but when we heard that Zhu Zhi was defeated, we secretly took him to congratulate him. Just as the prime minister said After all, the small town of Shi'an is a border area, so it cannot be lived for a long time. When I take Linhe, I will be able to advance, attack, retreat, and defend. It will be restored to the Shu Han, and it will be a comeback, just around the corner!!"

Ma Liang listened, but his expression was quite worried, and he said.

"Although the prime minister had made arrangements earlier, he also said before he left that there are many talented people in the Western Tang Dynasty. If you hear that I am waiting to recruit the people in Sichuan in Shi'an, there will be movement. I am only afraid of the thieves in the Western Tang Dynasty. Plotting Shi'an in the dark!!"

Fa's face tightened, as if he remembered something, and talked to Ma Liang.

"Before the prime minister left, he and I waited for three kits, which were red, blue, and yellow. Whenever there was something difficult to do, they would be opened one by one. Now the situation is very urgent. Why don't Ji Chang open one first? look!?"

Hearing what Fazheng said, Ma Liang's eyes lit up, and he took out three kits from his waist, and then opened the red one. There was a small piece of silk in the kit, and the word 'quick' was just written on the small silk.

"Quick!? What does the Prime Minister mean by this?"

Fazheng frowned, his face darkened, and it was difficult for him to comprehend for a while.Ma Liang had a flash of inspiration and said quickly.

"Could it be that the prime minister is teaching me to wait and hurry to get the congratulations?"

"Although this friend Nie is greedy for money, he also promised us to donate the city. But according to our previous discussion, it is best to wait for Zhu Zhi to be defeated, making Nie You think that Soochow is exhausted before taking it. We acted like this Urgent, but in case, what can I do?"

Fazheng said with a groan, his face full of solemnity.Ma Liang's eyes were calm, after thinking about it, he still felt that there must be a reason for Zhuge Liang's behavior, so he said in a concentrated voice.

"Earlier, the prime minister said that it was a critical moment to dismantle it. In this way, it is very likely that the prime minister expected that Dingxi Tang had already taken action, so he taught me to wait for this matter quickly, lest Shi'an City be destroyed, and regret it too late."

As soon as Ma Liang finished speaking, a young general rushed in, and saw that the young general was very powerful, with swallow jaws and eyes, and a leopard head. This young general was Zhang Baoye, the son of Zhang Fei.But Zhang Bao is young, but his martial arts are very good. When Chengdu was destroyed, he protected the old and the young, and rushed all the way. .Later, he got separated from most of Zhuge Liang and other people, but he was very resourceful and hid in secret. When he heard that Zhuge Liang and others had settled down in Shi'an, he took his family to vote.Now, Zhang Bao rushed over and bowed his hands.

"Report!! One of the officers and men under his command noticed that at the pass outside the border, the strength of the Tang bandits has suddenly increased a lot, and it is suspected that there are reinforcements!!"

When Fazheng and Ma Liang heard this, their expressions changed drastically, and they said in unison.

"Tang thief came so fast!?"

Ma Liang first stabilized his demeanor, and hurriedly spoke to Fa Zhengdao.

"This is the end of the matter, don't neglect any more. Fortunately, most of the Tang thieves have not yet arrived. I will send someone to fetch Lin He quickly, and then place the king there, just in case!!"

When Fazheng heard the words, his heart skipped a beat, and he nodded in response without thinking too much.

"Ji Chang's words are reasonable. The king is the ruler of the Shu Han Dynasty, and there is no room for loss. In this case, you will immediately lead five thousand soldiers and horses, as well as the two generals of Anbang and Tan, and go together. Since then, my uncle and I have guarded Shi'an to resist Tang thief!!"

Hearing this, Ma Liang's complexion changed, and he was about to open his mouth.But Fazheng spoke out without a doubt.

"Ji Chang don't want to talk too much, just make a decision like this!!"

Ma Liang's heart trembled, he sighed, and then bowed his hands to accept the order.That night, Zhang Bao led two thousand soldiers and horses to fetch Linhe according to his order.On the next day, Pan Ping led [-] soldiers to protect Ma Liang, Liu Chan and other officials and then left.Flying kites in the city saw the Shu army raising troops again and again, and quickly searched for opportunities to report.Hearing this, Deng Ai's complexion changed, and he secretly slandered.

"Could it be that the people of Shu had already made an arrangement, knowing that our army was coming to attack and fearing that it would be difficult to defend, so they moved their positions!?"

After Deng Ai thought about it, he quickly informed Zhao Yun, and then ordered three thousand soldiers and horses, and led an army to find out the truth.Not long after Ma Liang and the others left, Fazheng's heart was fixed.Suddenly, soldiers rushed to report, and Deng Ai, a young thief from the Tang Dynasty, led three thousand soldiers and horses.Hearing this, Fazheng's expression changed, he had heard that Deng Ai was both wise and brave, and he wanted to win, so he led the army here this time, it must be to find out the truth.Since Fazheng will not let Deng Ai succeed, he quickly sent an order to the three armies to make preparations.When he was young, Deng Ai led his troops to the north gate of Shi'an, set up his formation, and shouted sharply.

"Deng Shizai is here!! You wait for the people of Shu to decide who is here, come out and answer quickly!!"

Deng Ai yelled sharply, like a thunderbolt exploding, all the Shu soldiers in the city were terrified, and no one dared to answer.
