Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 350 Tianshui Jiang Boyue

"Old Li, why does the prince know that the enemy is bluffing?"

Qian Duo, the newly appointed commander of Modao Team, asked Li Er with blank eyes.

"Well..." Li Er was also thinking about this matter. While organizing his words, he told Qian Duo what he thought of, "First of all, even if Cao Wei has a large territory and many people, its military strength cannot be unlimited.

"We don't know exactly how many troops they still have in Longyou, but the prince can definitely deduce it from various sources. Plus what we have seen along the way, there is no way there is an army here that can match us."

Ding Feng also nodded in agreement: "Yes, and if the enemy is really capable of ambush here, why not attack our Chinese army directly?

"First of all, we can't look at each other, and secondly, we still have the opportunity to directly kill our army commander. If something happens to the prince, our army will definitely be more chaotic. Why not?"

"Ah -" Qian Duo suddenly understood after hearing what the two said, but immediately wondered, "Then why don't they do this? It seems that this enemy general is a big fool."

Ding Feng held his forehead and shook his head.

Li Er, who has been with Qian Duo for many years, said angrily: "At least I'm much smarter than you, don't you think so? That's obviously because we don't have enough troops! What did you listen to just now? How did you pass the army entry competition in the first place!"

Qian Duo grinned nonchalantly: "It's no problem to count how many heads I've chopped off. I can't figure out these big things. You tell me who to chop, and I'll be done with it."

Ding Feng was very happy to hear this, and sometimes he was quite envious of this guy, at least he didn't have so many worries: "The enemy general did not have enough troops to confront our army head-on, so he came up with this trick to mislead the army.

"He must have sent people to Guanzhong for help. If our army falls into the trap and withdraws from the valley, we will slowly advance when we are ready... When we take Ji County again, I'm afraid Cao Wei's reinforcements will arrive soon."

Li Er also nodded: "This man did not abandon the city and flee in this situation. He could also come up with a good plan. He is definitely not mediocre. It's a pity that he met the prince. If I command the army... it's really hard to say. .”

Qian Duo comforted him: "You guys can understand it, it's pretty good, but I can't see so many things."

Ding Feng sighed: "I am just a wise man after the fact. The prince made a decision in the blink of an eye. It was a long way off."

……

In fact, Liu Chan was not as omnipotent as they thought. At least the changes in this place that were different from history still brought him some surprises.

In history, Tianshui Ji County surrendered very quickly, but now...the army has already left the valley, not far from Ji County, but there is still no movement.

Although the walls were not clear, not a single person was seen in the villages outside the city, so the people must have been moved into the city.

"Report——!" The dispatched scout also returned at this time, "Prince, I will go to the county to investigate. I have not encountered any enemy ambushes. The gate of the county is closed tightly, and it seems that they are trying to resist."

Liu Chan nodded, not surprised by this.

"Have you ever seen the flag on its city head? Is it a 'horse'?"

"No, it's the word 'ginger'."

ginger?
Liu Chan's heart skipped a beat.

I blanched it, was it really Jiang Wei who did it?What's going on?Shouldn't you be desperate and just surrender to the Han?

You are Ji Han’s last SSR!
Why did you help Cao Pi do it? ?
"Continue to march, the troops will approach Jicheng!" Liu Chan's face was as dark as water.

"Yes!"

Others didn't know why the prince suddenly seemed to be in a bad mood, but Liu Chan became more and more majestic. Now his expression only changed, and the expressions of everyone around him also became grim. The infected Red Star Army suddenly became murderous.

When the army arrived at Jicheng, Liu Chan had calmed down a bit. The changes in the recruitment of Jiang Wei had just made him a little uneasy, but after thinking about it carefully, he still didn't believe that this person would follow the Cao family with all his heart.

This is not due to his personal emotions or impressions of Jiang Wei in history, after all, those are things that have not happened yet.

It was Liu Chan's analysis and guess based on what had happened.

The head of the city of Ji County was replaced by a flag with a Jiang character, indicating that the prefect Ma Zun was probably just like in history. When he learned that his army was attacking, he ran to the east to Shanggui.

Jiang Wei was still resisting, indicating that the two people must have had differences again, but this time Jiang Wei did not go out, which may have suppressed the idea of ​​​​surrendering by the Hebei County magistrate.

But Jiang Wei's father died to protect the old governor during the Qiang and Hu rebellions, and the Jiang family was a local surname in Tianshui. He himself grew up in Tianshui since he was a child, and later served.

No matter how you look at it, he should not and could not have a relationship with the current prefect Ma Zun that would cause suspicion when the army came.

Instead, it depends on his past resume. It is only reasonable that he should be the most trusted candidate.

So what major events happened during this period that caused Ma Zunhui to suspect that he might defect to Liu?
Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty.

Although he has such a strong resume and good abilities, he is suspected of defecting to Liu...Liu Chan guessed that Jiang Wei, his father and even the Jiang family should consider themselves Han ministers.

After Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, perhaps he had made some "inappropriate" remarks and Ma Zun knew about it, and that was what happened later.

Otherwise it doesn't make sense.

In addition, suspicious soldiers were planted in the valley, but no stone, wood, or fire attacks were used to cause further damage.

Is Jiang Wei's IQ not enough?
Move the people into the city, but do not burn down the crops and houses that have not yet grown in the fields.

Is Jiang Wei not discerning enough?Can't you tell that Ji County can't be defended at all?Liu Chan didn't believe it.

This approach of being full of contradictions, resisting, and yet leaving a slight leeway and failing to get things done just shows that perhaps Jiang Wei is also struggling in his heart at this time.

It was after figuring this out that Liu Chan returned to his usual calmness.

As long as you don't give up on Lao Cao's family, it will be easy.

How did Meng Yan know Liu Chan's many thoughts?
Now, when he saw that the prince led an army to the city and the city was still resisting, he immediately rode his horse forward and shouted: "You cowardly people who are pretending to be gods and ghosts! Get out of the city and die soon!"

The guards at the top of the city yelled and cursed when they saw the people coming down from the city. One of them turned around and walked away. Not long after, a young general in black armor came up to the top of the city.

Facing the scolding Meng Yan, he sneered and said, "Haha, I thought this guy is such a talented general, but I didn't expect him to be a useless guy like you."

"Wow! Come down, this fool is going to kill you today! Rat, if you have the guts, come down!"

Jiang Wei ignored the shouting Meng Yan for the moment, but with lightning eyes, he quickly passed through the Han army formation outside the city, as if he was looking for something.

His mood at this time was complicated and disappointing.

Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, and the top officials were extravagant and imposed excessive taxes.

Although the Han emperors did not do any better than Cao Pi, they were even worse.

But in the view of the Jiang family, who were loyal to the Han Dynasty, it was just because there were too many sycophants who did nothing for human affairs, and they should not rebel no matter what.

So after the Cao family usurped the Han Dynasty, he had been confused. He didn't know what to do with his own literary and martial arts training, and he suddenly lost his direction.

Prefect Ma Zun's suspicion and timidity in running away made him even more chilling.

But when it comes to surrendering to Liu... In Jiang Wei's opinion at this time, Shu Han and Da Han were not equated in his mind.

He is only 21 years old, five years younger than when he voted for Liu in history. There are many things he has not seen or understood yet.

The suspicions raised this time may not be without the intention of testing and testing.

If the Shu army retreated at this point, he would probably have no hope.

As it turned out, he was a reckless man.

Maybe this guy didn't even see through his own plan, he just came here recklessly...

Jiang Wei, who was unwilling to give up, was now hoping that this guy was not the coach of the Shu army. His eyes were looking for the right leader.

When Meng Yan saw Jiang Wei ignoring him, he was so angry that he cursed even more fiercely...

Soon, Jiang Wei's eyes lit up, and he really found it!
A large flag with Liu characters in the army outside the city is extremely eye-catching.

Liu!Could it be that Liu Bei personally conquered it?
Yes, Liu Bei has been fighting all his life. This Northern Expedition is of great importance, so it is very possible that he will do it himself.

Since Liu Bei is here, Zhuge Liang or Fazheng and others should also be here. It seems that they have seen through his plan, and they are indeed worthy of their reputation...

Thinking of this, Jiang Wei was no longer angry in the face of Meng Yan's scolding, and said with a smile: "Okay, if you don't accept it, what if I accompany you for a few moves? It's just that you and I need to follow the ancients and fight alone! Do you have the guts?"

"I...!" Meng Yan was about to agree, but he swallowed hard, "Wait! I want your head right now!"

After saying that, he rode back to the formation and went straight to the central army.

He wouldn't dare to make the decision on such a big matter.

After hearing what Meng Yan said, Liu Chan raised his eyebrows and became more convinced of his speculation.

After the Warring States period, rituals and music collapsed, and wars began to use all means, as long as they could win. The battles and fights that once flourished in the Spring and Autumn Period have long since disappeared in the long river of history.

These days, no one is playing showmanship in front of the two armies.

Jiang Wei suddenly proposed to fight alone...what else could be the reason?
Liu Chan raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "In this case, we must not destroy General Meng's majesty. Go ahead and just agree to this person."

Meng Yan was overjoyed, clasping his fists and saying, "Thank you, Prince! Meng Yan will live up to his command and will behead this man with a flag and present it to the Prince!"

After that, he went back happily.

Liu Chan was not worried at all that life would be caused. He believed in his own judgment and even more believed in Jiang Wei's ability.

If the 22-year-old Jiang Wei can't even beat Meng Yan, or if he doesn't have the ability to show mercy... then missing him is not a big deal.

Jiang Wei is testing Liu Chan, and Liu Chan is testing Jiang Wei at this time.

Seeing that Meng Yan came to challenge him again, Jiang Wei decisively rode out of the city regardless of the county magistrate's objections.

"Boy! Why don't you tell me your name? I won't kill the unknown person." When Meng Yan saw Jiang Wei's young and pale face, he immediately felt at ease.

The elites all followed Cao Pi. How could there be any heroes in this small county?
Jiang Wei came on horseback. He was not upset when he heard the words. He stopped his horse and raised his gun, pointing at Meng Yan: "You reckless man, do you know Tianshui Jiang Boyue?"
