The last three kingdoms

Chapter 127

Xie Zhangzhen's public identity is the shopkeeper of Xie Ji Grocery Store, who runs a small and inconspicuous grocery store at the end of the street. He is humble and low-key, and has no sense of presence in Jiangyou Pass.

However, such an inconspicuous little person was secretly brought to the study of the chief executive of Jiangyouguan. Shopkeeper Xie took off the bamboo hat he was wearing on his head, and his wretched and stooped back straightened up in an instant, looking gloomy His eyes suddenly became sharp, and he said in a very cold voice: "General Ma, haven't I told you that there is nothing special, so don't bother me?"

Ma Miao humbly said as if he had changed another person: "Your Excellency, of course I remember, but something happened in the city today, which is quite difficult. If it is not handled properly, it will endanger the great cause of defeating Shu." .”

Shopkeeper Xie also has a secret identity. Wei Guo sneaked into the Sima of the Shu Kingdom, code-named "White Bird". His duty is to instigate Ma Miao and act for Wei Jun to control Jiangyou Pass.Ma Miao was dissatisfied with the court of the Shu Han Dynasty and was greedy for life and fear of death. Such a person was undoubtedly the easiest target to be dragged into trouble. The white sparrow had already persuaded Ma Miao to surrender without much effort. You can offer the pass to the city.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Bai Que did not plan to contact Ma Miao again during this time, but who would have thought that Ma Miao came to him on his own initiative? Bai Que knew that Ma Miao was a fearless person, and he definitely could not make a big deal out of it. Hearing what he said, his expression eased, and he said, "What is so difficult?"

Ma Miao said: "Lieutenant Youcheng Liu Yin seems to have sensed that our Wei army is likely to march from the Yinping trail, so he led nearly a thousand people from his private group to Jiangyou and is resting in the post at the moment. This person appeared unexpectedly , I am afraid that he will ruin the big event, so I specially came to call the envoy to discuss."

Bai Que frowned, the situation was really urgent, Deng Ai's smuggling into the Yinping trail, even the insiders just knew about it, how the Lieutenant Youcheng Liu Yin got the news, based on their departure time, Even earlier than Deng Ai's rise of troops, could it be that this Liu Yin has the ability to foretell?Or is this just a coincidence?
In any case, this danger must be nippled in the bud, and the plan to instigate Jiangyou's rebellion is absolutely impossible to leak the slightest bit.

Ma Miao gritted his teeth with a ruthless expression on his face, "How about setting fire to the posthouse tonight and burning them to death when they are unprepared, so as to avoid future troubles!"

Bai Que shook his head and said: "No, even if the post house catches fire, it may not be able to burn them all to death. Once the matter is revealed, there is no possibility of turning around. They are private soldiers of nearly a thousand people. In terms of combat power, Even a thousand soldiers and horses under your command may not be his opponents, let alone assassinate a lieutenant Youcheng, how many officers and soldiers in the city are willing to follow you?"

Ma Miao lowered his head a little ashamedly. What Baique said was the truth. The defenders of Jiangyouguan were all soldiers from the middle of Shu, and most of their parents were in Shu. Willing to follow him is really unknown.

In their plan, Ma Miao suddenly announced his surrender when the Wei army approached the city. At the same time, he opened the city gate to welcome the Wei army into the city.Therefore, this matter must be kept absolutely confidential in order for the plan to succeed. Once it is leaked, the consequences will be disastrous.

"According to the envoy, how should we deal with this matter?" Ma Miao asked cautiously.

Bai Que pondered for a moment, and said, "Are they going to leave Jiangyou Pass tomorrow?"

"That's not so fast. I'm going to hold a banquet to welcome him tomorrow. I guess it will take three or two days to leave Jiangyou."

Bai Que's eyes lit up, and he said: "Isn't that a good opportunity from heaven? Tomorrow's banquet, Liu Yin must only bring some confidant guards. You just need to hide some knives and axes in the corridor and throw cups as a sign. Capture and kill Liu Yin in one fell swoop."

"The envoy's intention is to prepare a Hongmen banquet for him?" Ma Miao was also enlightened.

Bai Que said with a dark smile: "Why not? As soon as Liu Yin dies, all the dragons under his command will be leaderless, and they will collapse without fighting. In less than ten days, Deng Zhengxi's army will arrive at Jiangyou City, and the court will hold you accountable if they get the news. , it’s beyond the reach of the whip.”

In the early morning of the next day, not long after Liu Yin got up, Ma Miao had already sent officials from the garrison mansion to the posthouse to welcome him to the banquet.

"General Ma is too polite. I am very disturbed to let General Ma spend so much money when he first arrived in your place. I have other important matters today, so I will skip the banquet. I will come to thank you someday." It's already annoying, not to mention there are a lot of things waiting for him, I really don't want to go.

The official seemed a little anxious, and said: "How can this happen? General Ma personally instructed that Lord Youcheng must be honored to come here. General Ma also said that he would ask Lord Youcheng about the defense plan of Jiangyouguan during the banquet."

Liu Yin thought for a while and said, "Okay, you go report to General Ma and say that XX came to the banquet on time."

The official left contentedly, Zhang Le laughed and said: "Brother, this Ma Miao seems to be a bit of a sycophant, and he greeted you as soon as you arrived in Jiangyou. The Jiangyou guard probably relies on this skill."

Zhao Zhuo was a little worried, and said: "Brother, I think that Ma Miao's mind is not right. As the saying goes, there is no good banquet, and there is no good meeting, big brother has no choice."

Zhang Le said disapprovingly: "Brother Zhuo is too worried, this Ma Miao is just a school lieutenant and a very different guard, and his status is far from that of his elder brother, so does he still have the intention of plotting evil things?" Don’t talk about it, anyway, this is also the city of the big man, Ma Miao may not dare to touch a hair of the big brother after eating the bear’s heart, unless he is tired of life.”

Liu Yin smiled slightly. For a mediocre and incompetent person like Ma Miao who is greedy for life and afraid of death, he would not do anything out of line, not to mention that he has no stake in him. At least he will share a little credit, but Liu Yin really didn't think he had any reason to harm himself.

But even so, Liu Yin still brought a few personal guards, left Zhang Le to lead the army at the post house, and went to the banquet with Zhao Zhuo.

The time for the banquet was set at noon, seeing the sun was setting, Liu Yin and Zhao Zhuo were ready to stop and led the guards onto the horses, but as soon as they left the gate of the post house, someone suddenly said from the side: "Lord You Cheng, please stay! "
