Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 762
Wei Jun pulled the team and was still marching. Wei Yan saw Wang Shuang's banner passing by, and immediately led [-] cavalry to fight out from the dense forest.

"Ah? Why is there Wei Yan here again!" Wang Shuang was shocked, and hurriedly turned his horse's head to fight.

Wei Yan's war horse was urged to move, and it was like a whirlwind and went straight to Wang Shuang. With the help of horsepower, Wang Shuang rushed to meet him with a knife. With a click, Wang Shuang's war horse retreated two steps. Take the lead.One move failed, and there was no suspense after that. Wei Yan defended without stopping and chopped Wang Shuang off the horse with a knife. Wang Shuang was still wide-eyed, full of inconceivable.

The sneak attack succeeded, Wei Yan's soldiers did not dare to stay for a long time, and immediately led the army to charge forward. Wei Yan couldn't stop them and was killed by Wei Yan, only counting more than ten riders.

Wei Yan shook his head straight, quite dissatisfied in his heart.Meeting Gao Xiang, Gao Xiang heard that Wei Yan beheaded Wang Shuang, and said pleasantly: "General Wen Chang is brave, why don't you take me back to seize the street pavilion?"

"Recapturing the street pavilion? It's a fluke to be able to kill Wang Shuang. Do you know where Jiang Wei is? If I lead the army behind, how can we fight? Now that Wang Shuang is dead, the Wei army dare not pursue, we can safely withdraw."

Wei Yan left, losing an excellent opportunity to defeat the Wei army, but only half a day later, Jiang Wei led the army to come, and losing an opportunity also saved Wei Yan from being besieged by Jiang Wei.

Hearing that Wang Shuang was beheaded by Wei Yan, Jiang Wei was inappropriate to mourn.Send someone to send Wang Shuang's body back to Chang'an, and report to Cao Zhen that Zhuge Liang has retreated, and he led the army to station on the spot, no longer pursue, and wait quietly for the Shu army to retreat.

West County.When Li Sheng and Huang Xi saw Zhuge Liang, they put all their crimes on Ma Di. "I tried to persuade General Youchang, but he refused to listen. He also said that if the Wei army cut off the way to draw water, our army would die and survive. He also said that I didn't know how to send troops, and even the prime minister would often ask him Ask for advice."

"Then where are Ma Su and Wang Ping? Where's Gao Xiang?" Zhuge Liang's face sank like water.

"General Zijun ordered me to report back to the prime minister to prepare early, and the situation of several generals is really unknown."

Zhuge Liang ordered the two to be taken into custody temporarily and waited for processing, and sent someone to inquire about the news.Soon after, Wei Yan beheaded Wei general Wang Shuang, and Gao Xiang was on the way to retreat, and the whereabouts of Ma Su and Wang Ping were unknown.

"Send an order to search for Ma Di and Wang Ping, and find Ma Di and arrest him immediately." Zhuge Liang issued a wanted order for Ma Di.

Tens of thousands of people were relocated back to Hanzhong again, but this time there were more original residents of Tianshui and other counties, and more than [-] people left Xixian in a mighty way.When he arrived in Wudu, Wei Yan rushed over and heard that Ma Di was wanted. He immediately saw Zhuge Liang and said, "Ma Di is by no means a person who does not accept good words. The battle at Jieting was very strange. Please take back the order. I am willing to be Ma Di's guarantor. "

"Although Ma Su's crime is open to debate, it will be unavoidable to lose the street pavilion and lose the army." Zhuge Liang rejected Wei Yan's request, leaving Wei Yan, Gao Xiang, and Chen Shi to garrison Wudu, and Zhuge Liang led the troops to Nanzheng.

Li Ping commented that Zhuge Liang was retreating, so he came to see him in a hurry: "The prime minister has won successive battles, why didn't he take down Yongliang in one go, instead of retreating?"

"I heard that Meng Da led the army to attack, so I retreated."

Li Ping said in a daze: "A mere Meng Da has scabies, why should the prime minister be afraid of him, with me, even if Cao Zhen comes personally, Hanzhong will be safe." But he was surprised, did Zhuge Liang think that he was not Meng Da's opponent?This is too small for me.

"Let me ask you, why didn't you report to me that Meng Da led the army to attack?" Zhuge Liang stared at Li Ping, as if he wanted to see through him.

"The prime minister sits on the front line and takes care of everything. I can deal with such trivial matters. How dare I disturb the prime minister? The attack on Chang'an is imminent. How can I bother the prime minister?" Before, this was just a suspicious soldier." Li Ping did not shy away from Zhuge Liang's eyes, looking directly at Zhuge Liang and said.

"Hehe." Zhuge Liang laughed back angrily, "I'll ask you again, what happened to Deng Xian?"

It turns out that Zhuge Liang has placed many people in Hanzhong.Li Ping took out a letter from his sleeve and presented it to Zhuge Liang: "Meng Da did indeed send Deng Xian to deliver a letter to me, promising to win me over. Is he fooling with rhetoric? I have sternly refused and told the prime minister to be magnanimous. If he can return to me when he goes astray, the prime minister will definitely abandon the past and entrust him with reuse."

Zhuge Liang took Meng Da's letter and read it twice carefully. "Since that's the case, why didn't you report it?"

Li Ping was a little dissatisfied, since I was entrusted with Hanzhong affairs, should I have to ask you for instructions and report everything, I couldn't help but feel a little angry.

Zhuge Liang didn't wait for Li Ping to answer: "You don't have to go back to me, go back to Chengdu and report to the emperor." Zhuge Liang immediately resigned from Li Ping's errand, and let Fei Yi go back to Chengdu to meet Liu Chan with Meng Da's letter and Li Ping. By the way, I also brought Zhuge Liang a self-deprecation memorial, saying that sending troops was not good enough to damage the soldiers and lose the generals, so I asked to be demoted to three ranks and be demoted to General Zuo.

Li Ping left Fei Yi angrily. Zhuge Liang ordered Yang Yi to resettle the immigrants and start farming. He stayed in Hanzhong and waited for the opportunity to continue the Northern Expedition.

Holding the memorial in his hand, Liu Chan found it extremely difficult.Obviously, because Li Ping was Liu Bei's minister, Zhuge Liang sent him to Chengdu because he was not easy to deal with, and he was sent by himself. What should he do?
What else can I do, I can only pretend to be confused.Liu Chan asked all the ministers how to deal with Li Ping. Some people thought that Li Ping was suspected of collaborating with the enemy, and even if he didn't kill him, he would be dismissed as a commoner.Liu Chan felt drowsy, how could he not understand these truths?The key is to make Zhuge Liang satisfied.Attendant Jiang Wan solved Liu Chan's problem, but Li Ping's cover-up of military information and failure to report caused the Northern Expedition to run aground.

Jiang Wan directly ignored whether Li Ping was collaborating with the enemy, and gave a peaceful plan. Liu Chan thought it was feasible and ordered Jiang Wan to draft an edict.Li Ping wept bitterly, kowtowed to admit his mistake and thanked him, hoping that one day he would be appointed again, and honestly went to guard the city gate.

Zhuge Liang asked himself to be demoted, and Liu Chan still had to pretend to be confused, but he had to express his position. "In this expedition, beheading the generals and killing the enemy is a great achievement, and retreating in time will not hurt much. How can the prime minister demote himself? This will hurt the hearts of the soldiers in front."

All the bureaucrats in Yizhou called Liu Chan Shengming together.

Fei Yi said: "The minister also said this to the prime minister, but the prime minister thinks that merits and demerits cannot be generalized, and it may be unfair if the prime minister is not held accountable."

Zhuge Liang did not demean himself, how to deal with Li Ping, and how to punish someone who committed a crime in the future, Liu Chan understood Zhuge Liang's intentions very well, and quickly accepted Fei Yi's opinion. "It's just that state affairs can't be without a father for a day."

Jiang Wan said again: "Your Majesty may allow the prime minister to demote himself and punish him, but General Zuo can still do the prime minister's work."

It's just that officials are demoted and fined on the surface, but the rights remain the same.Liu Chan was overjoyed and very satisfied with Jiang Wan, so he handed over the imperial edict to Fei Yi to deliver it in Hanzhong.
