Han Shimou

Overjoyed, Nie You not only accepted the huge sum of money presented by Ma Liang, but also hinted that he would offer it in congratulations.Of course, Nie You knew in his heart that he was also thinking about it. The situation was not yet clear, and Fazheng, Ma Liang and others would not act easily.If Wu Guo is destroyed by Wei, he will present it in congratulations as promised.But once Wu was able to turn the tide and defeat Yu Wei.Naturally, he would not vote for Can Shu.

Just when Nie You thought he was smart.Suddenly one day, soldiers came to report that there were thousands of soldiers and horses coming from outside the city. The general who led the army was a young major general who claimed to be Zhang Bao, the son of Zhang Fei, the five tiger generals of the Shu Han Dynasty.When Nie You heard this, his brows frowned, his expression changed slightly, and he thought to himself, what is Zhang Bao's intention to lead troops here suddenly! ?

"Could it be that there has been a change in Shi'an!?"

Nie You stared, stood up abruptly, and exclaimed.Nie You is not low in intelligence, Zhang Bao led troops here, there are only two possibilities.First, Wu has been destroyed by Wei.Both, it must be that something happened in Shi'an, and Ling Fazheng was waiting for the remnants of Shu, so he had to secure a retreat first, just in case.And now, Wu Bei and Wu Nan are still fighting, so if this happens, there must be some changes in Shi'an.And this bud must come to fetch congratulations!

Nie You's heart tightened, his brain turned, he calmed down his panic, and wanted to go and find out.Nie You had a certain idea, so he taught the left and right to order all the generals in the city to prepare for each other.Then Nie You led all the elites and rushed to the city gate.

Let's say that when Zhang Bao came to the city of Linhe and saw the Wu soldiers guarding the city heavily, he frowned first, then rode out on his horse and hissed.

"Where is Prefect Nie!? Please come out and answer!!"

As soon as Zhang Bao finished speaking, the city gate suddenly opened, and Nie You led hundreds of well-equipped elite soldiers out.Zhang Bao's expression became tense, he rode his horse to go, reined in his horse and stopped within about a stone's throw away, and first bowed.Seeing Zhang Bao's muscular back and a leopard's head, Nie You felt a pang in his heart, not daring to take it lightly, and after bowing his hands in return, he grinned and said.

"I have always heard that the general's father Zhang Gong is the number one fierce general in Sichuan. I have been fascinated for a long time. Although I have never met, but seeing the general's majesty today, I know that the rumors are true!!"

Nie You praised her, but Zhang Bao didn't show any signs of embarrassment. Instead, his expression froze, and he clasped his hands and replied.

"Prefect Nie praised it absurdly. My father is a hundred times better than Bao, but I am afraid that my father's name will be weakened."

Nie You saw that Zhang Bao didn't appreciate it, but he was not angry either, with a pleasant smile, and wrote lightly.

"I don't know what the general wants to do by bringing troops here?"

Seeing that there are many soldiers behind Nie You, Zhang Bao naturally wouldn't say that he came here to congratulate him according to the previous agreement, so he said.

"Prefect Nie didn't know something. The Western Tang king Wen Bufan was cruel and heartless. Not long after he took Xichuan, he sent troops to attack Jiaozhou again. Recently, the Tang rebels have increased their troops at the border crossings. I'm afraid they have already sent troops to attack Shi'an. You are afraid that the King of Shu will be wronged, and you know that Prefect Nie is a man of righteousness, so you specially order Bao to report, hope you can accept it!!"

Nie You's face changed dramatically when he heard this, his heart beat continuously, and his whole body trembled.He never expected that not long after Xitang just conquered Xichuan, he sent troops to invade Jiaozhou so quickly.Nie You asked quickly.

"How many soldiers and horses did the Tang thieves come!? Who will lead them!?"

"According to our military investigations, the bandits from the Tang Dynasty have at least [-] troops. Deng Shizai is the vanguard general, and the leader of the three armies is Zhao Zilong, the dragon general of the Western Tang Dynasty!!"

According to Ma Liang's teaching, Zhang Bao made false information.It turned out that Ma Liang knew that Nie You would not give Lin He up easily, and knew that he was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he taught Zhang Bao to falsely report the strength of the Tang army. Not waiting for people.Even if it wasn't Zhao Yun, it was Zhang Liao and other generals in Sichuan.Sure enough, when Nie You heard the news, his complexion suddenly changed, his face was completely pale, and he exclaimed.

"Tang bandits have come with such troops!? And Zhao Zilong led them personally!? If Shi'an defends to death, Jiaozhou will be in danger!!"

Nie You shouted, rolled his eyes, and suddenly had evil thoughts in his heart, and secretly slandered.

"The Tang army has always been elite, so many soldiers have come this time, and even Zhao Zilong is personally leading them. How can Fa Xiaozhi and others resist it!? Jiaozhou is hard to keep. The king of the Western Tang Dynasty is extraordinary. Big trouble. If so, why don’t I follow the plan and capture Liu Chan, and when Zhao Zilong leads his troops to attack, I will present him with congratulations, so that the glory and wealth will surely be enjoyed endlessly!!”

Nie You is worthy of being a villain. After a while, he knows how to preserve his body and seek wealth.Seeing Nie You suddenly calm down, Zhang Bao thought he was timid, so he said hastily.

"Prefect Nie needn't worry too much. Although the bandits of the Tang Dynasty are powerful, they also have many brave generals. However, Fa Xiaozhi and Ma Jichang are wise and resourceful people. They only hate Shi'an, which is a tiny place, and it is difficult to guard. But Linhe City, The land is vast and the city is thick, and it is as solid as gold, if we can join forces to guard it, we will be able to resist the Tang thieves!!"

When Nie You heard this, he suddenly laughed and nodded in response.

"What the general said is true. You must be tired after traveling all the way. I sent people to hold a big banquet in the city to clean up the dust for the general and the soldiers!"

Zhang Bao was overjoyed when he heard the words, and quickly bowed his hands in thanks.

"Prefect Nie is benevolent!! The current situation is unstable, and it is not suitable to indulge. There is no need for banquets, and I would like to ask Prefect Nie to put us in the city and give us a place to rest."

"Hahaha. Be polite, be polite. I especially admire the heroes who dare to risk their lives to defend against the Tang bandits. How dare you be negligent."

After Nie You finished speaking, without waiting for Zhang Bao's answer, he ordered the left and right to make arrangements.Seeing that Nie You was very enthusiastic, Zhang Bao couldn't evade it, so he didn't say much, but he also secretly taught his subordinates to be careful in everything and not to be greedy for alcohol.All the soldiers are careful.So Nie You led Zhang Bao into the city. When Zhang Bao was about to enter the city, he sent a team of soldiers to inform Ma Liang and others who followed.

That night, Pan Ping led his army to the city of Linhe, and after running around for days, Liu Chan complained endlessly, hearing that Linhe had arrived.With a face like a bitter melon, Liu Chan cheered up immediately, poked his head out of the carriage and said to Ma Liang.

"Ma Taichang, Ma Taichang!! I'm tired!! Take the lonely to rest!!"

Hearing this, Ma Liang rushed over and bowed his hands.

"If you make the king tired, the minister deserves to die. But please rest in peace, the king. That Nie You is a sinister and cunning villain. Although An Bang has entered the city, he must not relax. The king will rest in the car for a while. . Wait for the minister to find out a thing or two, and then report."

Liu Chan groaned again after hearing this.Ma Liang persuaded each other earnestly, and stated his interests.Liu Chan just complied.After Ma Liang left, he secretly sighed, full of helplessness and bitterness.At this time, Nie You had already heard the report from the soldiers, and hurriedly led the generals in the city and Zhang Bao and others to meet him.Nie You hurried over, with a look of fear on his face, and worshiped in front of the carriage.

"The king of Shu is coming, the villain was holding a banquet in the city earlier to prepare for the entertainment, and if he is far away, please don't blame the king of Shu!"

Hearing that Nie You lowered his status like this, Ma Liang was full of flattery, his expression tightened, and he narrowed his eyes and looked at Nie You for a while.Liu Chan, who was in the carriage, was overjoyed when he heard that a banquet had been held in the city, and hurried out. When he saw Nie You, he quickly took Nie You's hand, and shouted out in gratitude.

"Gu came all the way here, tired and hungry, Eunuch Nie's arrangement is very suitable for Gu Xin, very suitable for Gu Xin!!"

Seeing that Liu Chan was so stupid, Nie You sneered in his heart and thought to himself.

"Hmph! How can the Shu Han talk about reviving the country if you are so stupid!? Fortunately, I have already figured it out!"

After thinking about it, Nie You respectfully invited Liu Chan into the city.Ma Liang frowned, and cast a wink at Pan Ping, implying that he was on guard.Pan Ping understood, and secretly instructed the lieutenant generals.Under Ma Liang's wink, Zhang Bao accompanied Liu Chan all the way, just in case.

Nie You saw that Liu Chan liked to drink and have fun, in order to relax his mind.Here, banquets are held day and night, and the daughter of Shanyue is invited to dance.Liu Chan was overjoyed and only cared about having fun. Ma Liang and others tried to persuade him again and again, but to no avail.Seeing this, Ma Liang knew in his heart that Nie You must be cunning, so he secretly discussed with Pan Ping and Zhang Bao.

"Tang bandits are about to attack, but you Nie hosted banquets day and night to entertain the king. He didn't feel nervous, and he didn't see him preparing for battle. He must have evil intentions. Frankly, how have you been investigating recently?"

When Pan Ping heard this, his expression was shocked, and he clapped his hands and replied.

"Reporting to Mr. Taichang, according to the general's investigation, there are about [-] soldiers in the city. Most of them are foreigners from Jiaozhou, and there are only more than a thousand elite Wu people."

"Okay! Most of the foreign races in Jiaozhou are people who see the wind and make things happen. As long as I can catch Nie You, he will come to join him when he sees the situation is not good. It's not a problem."

Ma Liang's eyes lit up, he nodded heavily, and ordered Pan Ping and Zhang Bao to do so.Suddenly someone came to report that there were more than a thousand remnants from outside the city, and Da Sima Fa was among them!Hearing this, Ma Liang's face changed drastically, and he rushed to greet him.At the same time, Nie You also heard that there was a remnant of the Shu army outside the city, so he rushed there.When he was young, Ma Liang, Nie You and others rushed to the city, and Nie You quickly taught the soldiers to open the city gate to welcome Fazheng and a group of remnants into the city.Fazheng looked flustered, and went to the county government office to meet Liu Chan.

"Damn the guilty minister!! Deng Shizai suddenly attacked, and the city's secret agents responded internally. The criminal minister had no idea for a while. Now the security is lost, our army's soldiers and horses were defeated, and Uncle Chen was captured by that Deng Shizai!!"

When Liu Chan heard this, his face paled in fright, panicked, almost fell off his seat, and shouted repeatedly.

"It's over, it's over!! That Wen Bufan has always regarded Gu as a thorn in his side. If Gu is captured by his army, he will be tortured in every possible way!! Father!! Why did you leave Gu, Gu is still young, and it is difficult to control the overall situation , It’s hard to control the overall situation!! Don’t talk about revitalizing the Shu Han, even one’s life can’t be saved!!”

Liu Chan was so frightened that he howled loudly on the spot, Fazheng also burst into tears, and kowtowed to confess his crime.Ma Liang, Pan Ping, Zhang Bao and other civil and military personnel knelt down one after another, speaking kindly to comfort them.Nie You looked on and sneered, but it was inevitable that someone would find out, so he also came to persuade him.Liu Chan couldn't stop crying, with a look of panic on his face, as if he suddenly thought of something, he shouted.

"Prime Minister!! Come back as soon as possible for Prime Minister Gu Xun!! My father said at the end of his life that if Gu is not the King of Shu, then the Prime Minister will take over the throne!! This Shu King is wrong!!"

"Your Majesty! Absolutely not!!"

When Fazheng heard the words, his countenance changed suddenly, and he hurriedly kowtowed and begged.Ma Liang's expression was shocked, and he hurriedly tried to persuade him.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Shi'an is a small place, and there are more meticulous efforts, so it fell. But now our army has the fortified city of Linhe to defend, and with the help of Eunuch Nie, we will be able to resist the Tang thieves! !"

After hearing this, Nie You narrowed his eyes, and then agreed.

"Don't worry about the King of Shu. The Tang bandits come to commit their crimes without justice, and we will swear to the death!!"

"I am willing to do my best to keep Linhe safe!!"

As soon as Nie You finished speaking, Zhang Bao and Pan Pingping bowed in unison.
