Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Ten miles to the east of Wangyuan, Zhang Fei and several generals sat around on the grass to rest, and the soldiers of each battalion built fires and buried pots to cook food.

"General, you have been out for more than a hundred days, and Liangzhou has been in chaos for more than a hundred days. Shall we return to Wudu tomorrow?" Zhang Da asked.

Zhang Fei frowned, "I always feel that something is almost there, as if I didn't enjoy myself."

Chapter 726 Liangzhou is really talented

"The general plans to hold on for a while longer, so that spring farming in Liangzhou cannot be done? But you destroyed Xia Houmao's military rations, and it will not be easy to rob the rations later." After Zhang Da followed Zhang Fei again, apart from fighting Positive, even his personality has become more cheerful, and he dares to discuss the military situation in front of everyone.

Zhang Fei nodded and concluded: "I just said it casually. It is not realistic to wait until the spring plowing. At that time, Cao Zhen might also come back from Hexi. It must be difficult for us to return to Wudu. Now Xiahoumao's army is short of food. If we stay for a long time In Liangzhou, the military rations of tens of thousands of people are a big burden, even if we return to Chang'an, it will consume a lot of money, the task given to me by the king has been completed..."

"These few months have been really enjoyable. The general, with just a few thousand soldiers, has turned the generals of Liangzhou around." Zhang Da complimented with a smile.

"This battle can last for such a long time, mainly due to the new military rations obtained by the military division and the kelp that Ziyu gave us, so that we don't have to worry about food, let alone kill war horses to satisfy our hunger. Let's come again in autumn or next year, I I want to help elder brother drag Cao Pi down." Zhang Fei was full of joy.

"General, the kelp soup is ready, drink some to drive away the cold." Wu Er brought a bowl of kelp soup.

Zhang Fei hugged the bowl and sighed, "This kelp is really a good thing. We saved even salt in the march. I am really convinced by Ziyu. You know he planted this thing in the sea."

"It can also be grown in the sea? It's incredible..." Zhang Da swallowed his saliva. During his stay in Jiangxia, he heard people talking about Mr. Xuanxiao. How happy Lantian is with the forces.

While everyone was having soup and dinner, the spies who were on guard at Wangyuan came back to report that several Wei soldiers in the city went west overnight with torches.

Zhang Fei handed the bowl to Wu Er, and said to himself: "Xia Houmao is short of food now, and he must have gone to Jicheng to ask for help, otherwise he would never take the risk of setting off at night. Is there any benefit for me?" ?”

"Should we follow behind and pretend to be Xia Houmao's army and attack Jicheng?" Zhang Da suggested.

"Although the king named me the governor of Liangzhou, I don't want any of the cities in Liangzhou now. Anyway, I won't be able to defend them anyway, and I will trap the horses in the city, so I have no interest in Jicheng. What is my purpose? ..." Zhang Fei suddenly had an inspiration in the middle of his words.

"Wu Er, go and assemble your troops right away, pick out five hundred horsemen from the best of the best, and I'm going to exchange Xia Houmao for Jiang Wei." Zhang Feitian said without hesitation.

"Xiahoumao? Isn't he looking at the Yuan? There are tens of thousands of defenders there..." Wu Er didn't understand what Zhang Fei was talking about.

Zhang Fei chuckled: "Just now Zhang Da reminded me that we went to the west of Wangyuan overnight tonight, tomorrow we will pretend to be reinforcements from Jicheng, try to find a way to get Xia Houmao out of the city, and capture him by surprise..."

"Will it be too risky?" Zhang Da swallowed his saliva. He still remembered that when he attacked Luocheng, he also pretended to be Zhuge Liang to earn the city. His teammate Fan Jiang was shot to death by Liu Gui.

"Don't worry, I know what's in my mind. I haven't lost the clothes and flags I seized before, right? I'll use them again tomorrow." Zhang Fei replied confidently.

"The last general will do it." Wu Er clasped his fists and left.

Zhang Da still felt that something was wrong, so he whispered to Zhang Fei: "Who is the general going to pretend to be tomorrow? It is too famous and I am afraid that the officers and soldiers of Wangyuan will find out. If you are unknown, you will not be able to attract Xia Houmao..."

Zhang Fei listened deeply, "You reminded me in time, I almost forgot about it, I think it's better to pretend to be Jiang Wei, this guy is quite famous in Jicheng, but he is only 20 years old, Wang Yuan No one may know him."

"Who is playing Jiang Wei?" Zhang Da asked again.

"I think you'll be fine..." Zhang Feixin said putting on the helmet, who would recognize him from a distance?

"The general asked me to capture Xia Houmao alive?" Zhang Da asked in surprise.

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "I will be by your side. Tomorrow you only need to lure Xia Houmao out, and the rest is mine."

"Oh good..." Zhang Da took his reassurance.

Zhang Fei personally led [-] elite soldiers at night, leaning on the foot of the mountain in the south and crossing Wangyuan to the west. In the morning of the next day, he changed into the military uniform and flag of Liangzhou, and headed for Wangyuan County in a big way.

Around Chen Shi, Zhang Fei's five hundred elite riders arrived at the west gate of Wangyuan.

The scout came forward and knocked on the door, claiming to be Jiang Wei's subordinate in Jicheng, and asked to see his son-in-law Xia Houmao by name.

At the critical moment, the school captain of the city gate saw that 'Jiang Wei' was far away, so he didn't dare to open the door to welcome the guests, but flew to the county government to report to Xia Houmao.

Xia Houmao suffered a setback in the battle yesterday and felt the huge gap between himself and Zhang Fei. He went to sleep very late because of his worries. At this time, he just woke up and was eating breakfast, and Zhao Yu, who was watching from the sidelines, was waiting by his side.

Hearing Jiang Wei calling the door outside the city, Zhao Yu frowned instantly, thinking that this man had never led an army, why did the eunuch send him here?

"General Zhao knows this Jiang Wei?" Xia Houmao observed Zhao Yu's expression differently.

"This man is smart and filial. He is a rare talent in Tianshui. He became an official at the age of 15, and he is only 20 years old now." Zhao Yu replied with his fists clasped. (上审掾, the subordinate official sent to the higher authority to submit the accounting book; accounting book, the accounting official registers the household registration, taxation, and personnel books)

Xia Houmao put down his chopsticks in surprise, "The general asked Ma Zun for some food and grass, but he sent a senior planner to see me. Could it be that he is looking for the general to cry for poverty? Let's go, let's meet."

A few people came to the city wall and watched hundreds of cavalry away from the city wall, as if they were guarding against a sneak attack.

Xia Houmao sent someone to ask, "Jiang Boyue, General Xiahou is here, why don't you come forward and answer?"

Zhang Da replied loudly: "That Zhang Fei is too cunning, it's better to invite the general out of the city to meet him."

"You are so brave, you even questioned the identity of the son-in-law." Xia Houmao's soldiers were furious.

"Forgive me son-in-law, the eunuch's order has to be obeyed, if you want to know the eunuch's reply, please ask the general to go out of the city to meet, otherwise Jiang Wei will lead the army back to Ji County." Zhang Da threatened.

"Jiang Wei, it's very interesting. Liangzhou really produces talents." Xia Houmao looked at Zhao Yu playfully, and said to himself that the people of Liangzhou really don't take me seriously. You will suffer when Cao Zhen comes back, and I will transfer you there. Chang'an went to feed the horses.

"The scouts sent to Ji County didn't come back, will it be the same as yesterday afternoon?" Han Shao reminded.

"You mean the people below or Zhang Fei's cavalry?" Xia Houmao's eyes widened.

"There is indeed such a possibility, and it may also be that the scouts are tired of sending letters at night, and now they are rested in Jicheng by Ma Taishou. In short, the general decides whether to see or not." Han Shao replied with his fists clasped.

Xiahou Maoshu said: "Wangyuan's granary is empty. If Ma Zun doesn't come to adjust the grain, we can only borrow it from the people in the city. I still go out of the city to meet you. Killed these hundreds of people in the city."

Chapter 727 Bo Yue quickly returned to him for fraud

Zhao Yu clasped his fists and added: "My son-in-law, if Zhang Fei's soldiers are really fake, they must be well deployed, otherwise it will not be easy to eat these hundreds of people. Zhang Fei's cavalry is really strong..."

Xia Houmao squinted his eyes, his face trembled slightly, wondering if you can speak?Whether Zhang Fei's cavalry is strong or not, doesn't this general know?

Han Shao: "The uniforms of Jiang Wei's soldiers belong to our country of Wei. The last general inspected the city wall just now, but he didn't find Zhang Fei's cavalry. Maybe the last general is overwhelmed..."

Zhao Yu originally wanted to remind him not to be fooled, because Zhang Fei had people put on Wei Jun's clothes and "tricked" him several times in various places in Tianshui, but seeing Xia Houmao's unfriendly eyes, he held back and didn't say anything.

"It's better to be careful." Xia Houmao nodded affirmatively, turned around and shouted at 'Jiang Wei': "General Jiang is so arrogant, wait for me outside the city, and come down after him."

"Uh... the general will be offended." Zhang Da was a little surprised when he heard that, he didn't expect Xia Houmao to agree.

Zhang Fei behind Zhang Da was a little proud after hearing this, and laughed softly, "Hey, it turns out that Xia Houmao is a waste, and he fell into my trap so easily."

"Uh... that's right..." Zhang Da agreed.

In Wangyuan City, Xia Houmao put on his cloak and stepped on his horse.

"I did the math just now. There are about [-] cavalry outside the city. Now there are [-] cavalry in the city. Master Han, I will give you [-]. You will take them all out of the east gate in a while, and then bring [-] infantry. Facing the five hundred tiger and leopard cavalry, it was also taken." Xia Houmao ordered with a frown.

Zhao Yu stepped forward to advise: "To mobilize [-] soldiers, the time may be too short, what if they are scared away?"

"Hmph, what's so difficult about this? This general sells some flaws, so he can't stabilize that reckless man?" Xia Houmao replied coldly.

"Master Han, do you want to stay with the general? The general is familiar with the environment around Wangyuan, so let the general block their way back?" Zhao Yu volunteered.

"General Zhao doesn't follow me, who will confirm whether Jiang Wei is real or not?" Xia Houmao sat on the horse with a cold expression.

Zhao Yu didn't have a good impression on Xiahoumao's heart. Xiahoumao would naturally take care of the people around him first when he had such a good opportunity to earn military merits, and it would not be Zhao Yu's turn anyway.

"Uh...then I will leave the city with my son-in-law, do I need to prepare more people?" Zhao Yu is a native of Wangyuan County and has not had a chance to meet Jiang Wei, but even if he said it now, Xia Houmao would not believe it at all.

"Well... Prepare to ride a thousand steps. Too many troops will not only delay the time, but also affect the image of the general." Xia Houmao replied.

In the past two days, Xiahoumao has perfectly interpreted the word idiot. Zhao Yu now feels that Xiahoumao is both upright and upright, and complains that the other party has a good background and a good skin, otherwise he may not be as good as himself.

Zhao Yu and Han Shao Dianqi parted ways, and followed Xia Houmao slowly out of the west gate of Wangyuan. Zhang Fei had waited for a long time and seemed a little impatient. He was about to return to Wudu, but he didn't expect the last moment. There is a turning point.

"General, they have come out, what will the general do in the end? What if someone knows Jiang Wei?" Zhang Da looked a little flustered.

As soon as Zhang Fei grasped his trembling hand, he ordered seriously: "Those who achieve great things, Mount Tai will collapse before the color will not change. Try to find a way to draw Xia Houmao closer. If he dares to question the identity of 'Jiang Wei' , you just insist that you are Jiang Wei, Jiang Wei in Tianshui looks like this, only if you believe in yourself, others will follow suit."

"Uh... I will understand at the end." Zhang Da nodded half-understanding, thinking that he is in his early forties now, and he doesn't know how old he is to be able to grow up like this at the age of 20.

Xia Houmao and Zhao Yu stopped a few feet away, and the soldiers behind them stood in line, staring at the 'Tianshui Qilin' not far away.

Since the two sides were far away, only the silhouette of the other side could be seen, and Zhang Da did not reveal his secrets for a short time.

"Are you Jiang Boyue?" Xia Houmao questioned the authenticity of the visitor.

"Tianshui Jiang Wei, if it's fake, the general is Xiahou's son-in-law?" Zhang Da asked Xiahouma whether it was true or not, neither humble nor overbearing.

"Hahaha..." Xia Houmao took advantage of the interval between laughing and shaking his body, and asked Zhao Yu in a low voice: "Is it true or not?"

"It's a bit far away, and you can see it clearly after walking two feet." Zhao Yu answered in a low voice, covering his mouth.

Xia Houmao secretly cursed a trash, thinking that he can't see or hear? "Tianshui Qilin'er, you put on a big air today, and you actually asked this general to greet you in person. Do you know how serious the consequences will be?"

Zhang Da clasped his fists and replied: "Please forgive me for the crime of rudeness of the last general. It is because Zhang Fei played too many insidious tricks in the rebellion in Liangzhou for more than a hundred days. He pretended to be General Zidan (Cao Zhen). Pretend to be General Jun Yi (Zhang He), so the prefect asked the last general to be cautious, and the general claimed to be my son-in-law, what proof does he have?"

"Hahaha, how dare you question this general, and you claim to be the last general? When did you get a military position? Aren't you a planner?" Xia Houmao asked like a cannonball.

"The county encountered a catastrophe, Ma Taishou allowed me to join the army and lead the army, and the plan is a thing of the past." Zhang Da's mind turned quickly, and Zhang Fei hid in the crowd and secretly exclaimed.

"Jiang Boyue, do you know this general?" Zhao Yu shouted loudly.

Zhang Da clasped his fists and replied, "We are too far away, please forgive me for not recognizing him in the end."

"Isn't it right for Bo Yue to step forward?" Zhao Yu said coldly.

Zhang Da shook his head: "If you are Zhang Fei, wouldn't it be dangerous for the last general to step forward? Wouldn't it be fair for us to step forward at the same time?"

Zhao Yu heard that Jiang Wei was young and intelligent, and he didn't look like such a stubborn and pedantic person, so he whispered to Xia Houmao: "My son-in-law, the general thinks that this person may be a fraud, let's step back for a while?"

"Retire? Why did you forget Master Han? We only need to delay for a while, and when their escape route is cut off, whether it is Jiang Wei or Zhang Fei, we can catch the turtle in the urn. Now let me stabilize the other party. Go up and talk to him first." Xia Houmao ordered.

"I... will eventually obey orders." Zhao Yuming knew that Xia Houmao was using himself as a bait, but because of the disparity in status, he had to agree.

Both sides took a step forward, Zhao Yu finally saw Zhang Da's vicissitudes of life face, and said to himself that if you were a unicorn from Tianshui, I would be the most beautiful man in Liangzhou, how can you look like this at 20 years old?But thinking of Xia Houmao's confession, he couldn't turn his face.

"Why are you coming forward? Don't you know the status?" Zhang Da frowned.

"Isn't Boyue going to check his identity? We don't seem to know each other, but you are known as Tianshui Qilin, so there must be a way to prove your identity?" Zhao Yu asked meaningfully.

"You and I are both under the rule of Tianshui. When we arrive in Jicheng, there will be a prefect to testify. As for the son-in-law, he should have a seal..."

"Boyue, come back quickly, he is deceitful."

In the middle of Zhang Da's speech, he heard someone calling him from behind the formation. It turned out that dust suddenly rose in the south of the city, and the sentinel among the cavalry discovered something unusual.

Chapter 728 Sombra enters the arena to capture Xiahou

"Bo Yue, don't go... Don't you want to see the seal? This general will give it to you." Xia Houmao was well aware of what was about to happen, and seeing that the other party had been delayed for a long time, how could he let go at the critical moment? The enemy fled.

Tianshui County was teased by Zhang Fei for more than a hundred days. Xia Houmao felt that he could swallow these 500 people, even in front of Cao Pi.

Xia Houmao urged the reins of the horse to move forward slowly, and turned his head to signal the guards not to get too close as he advanced. He was worried that he would scare away the prey in front of him.

Both Zhang Da and Zhao Yu were at a loss, the moment they were born, a black shadow quickly appeared from the 'Jiang Wei' army formation.

Only two or three battles away, Zhang Fei galloped away holding the snake spear, and came to Zhang Da's side in an instant.

"Bold, who are you? Don't stop quickly?" Zhao Yu drew out his sword and pointed at Zhang Fei and shouted.

"I am Zhang Yide from Yan, anyone who stands in my way will die."

The majestic voice echoed in front of the formation of the two armies. Zhao Yu took a closer look and saw that it was indeed Zhang Fei with the leopard head and eyes around him. attitude.

Seeing this situation, Xia Houmao in the rear stopped in place, and a dozen guard cavalry quickly chased Xiahoumao.

The moment Zhao Yu turned the horse around, he felt the wind whistling fiercely in his ears, and the black shadow in his peripheral vision was getting closer and closer.

It's over, it's over...

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Yu noticed that Zhang Fei had passed him and rushed straight to Xia Houmao behind him.

"My son-in-law, run quickly." Zhao Yu reminded loudly.

"My husband, take care of yourself first." Zhang Da rushed over with his horse.

With a bang, the weapons intersected, Zhao Yu blocked Zhang Da from going to the main formation and fought while walking.

It was a little late for Xia Houmao to be reminded to turn the horse's head. He had heard Zhang Fei's words too many times yesterday, and he instinctively thought it was Zhang Feijun's bluff. Only when he heard Zhao Yu's trembling voice just now did he know something was wrong.

Zhang Fei ran fast in a straight line, and Xia Houmao made an emergency stop and turned around to give the opponent a chance.

Xia Houmao was already in despair, but when he turned around, he found that the guards were away from him, only a few horses were left, and the cavalry he brought was approaching him desperately. The vanguard of the cavalry unit had crossed the corner of the city wall and appeared in his field of vision.

Just now when Xia Houmao turned around and stared at the person coming, he found that the appearance of the black servant was very similar to Zhang Fei. As long as his guards blocked the opponent's attack and held it back, when Han Shao's cavalry surrounded him, he could do whatever Zhang Fei wanted to do. Ferocious can also be mobbed to death.

Although I took a little risk, if I can capture and kill Zhang Fei, the enemy of ten thousand people, I will not be famous all over the world, even more dazzling than the general's father?The corner of Xia Houmao's mouth turned up at that moment, as if he saw the scene of Cao Pi and all the officials coming out to greet him.

A brief daydream made Xia Houmao fall into fantasy.

"Go away, anyone who stands in my way will die."

The powerful shouts were like fire and thunder, directly pulling Xia Houmao back to reality, the guards running from behind suddenly stopped, and the horses were also calmed down by Zhang Fei's voice.
