Chapter 1402 Expedition to Jiaozhou
At first glance, it is quite a bit of an immortal, and the old man who is over 80 years old seems to have been waiting for a long time. This person is the abbot of the Western Tang Dynasty, Cai Feibai and Cai Yong of the Han Dynasty! Cai Yong knows a lot about self-cultivation, and has also learned Tai Chi and Five Birds. He strengthens his body every day. Although he is nearly 80 years old, he still looks excellent. Compared with some 60-year-olds, he is much more energetic. Originally, Wen Han intended to ask Cai Yong to move to Chang'an Palace together, but Cai Yong was used to life in Anyi and no longer wanted to worry about the world. After all, with Cai Yong's strict nature, if he is in Chang'an, he will say a few words whenever he encounters something important. Cai Yong also knew his own nature, so he chose to stay in Anyi and had a leisurely life. He usually took pleasure in raising sparrows and cultivating books at home. From time to time, he wrote a few family letters with Cai Yan to solve lovesickness. When Wen Han and a few people came to the county government hall, Cai Yan saw his father and exclaimed, and tears almost came out of his eyes. Cai Yong turned around and saw his daughter who missed day and night. He called a few times, and almost burst into tears.
Wen Han saw the former master, but he did not dare to be presumptuous and quickly bowed to him.
"The child pays a visit to the abbot!"
After Wen Han said, Guan Yu and others also worshipped one after another. Cai Yong has always been extremely polite, and he is more strict. His brothers dare not be presumptuous. Cai Yong listened, and as expected, his expression was dark, his eyes converged, and he bowed to Wen Han rigorously.
"Old minister Cai Boyi, meet the King of Tang! Long live my king!"
After the ceremony, Wen Han stepped to Cai Yong's side, and Guan Yu and others followed, and each of them made a look of listening to the teacher. Cai Yong looked at the crowd indifferently, and a trace of gratifying flashed from the corners of his eyes, and then said slowly.
"King, you and your brothers are not what they used to be. They are not kings or marquises. They are no longer the yellow-haired verticals in Luoyang. There is no need to be so reserved. I only hope that you, brothers, can be more tied to the people of the world. Don't forget the grand wish that drove the world with public opinion!"
"I should remember the teachings of the abbot!!"
Wen Han and others arched their hands together and regarded Cai Yong as a master like a father. Cai Yong nodded slightly, so he took Cai Yan's hand and said to Cai Yan.
"Yan'er, you haven't been home for a long time, so you can go home with your father to understand the longing for many years."
Cai Yong knew that he was here, and Wen Han and others did not dare to be presumptuous. He also knew that Guan Yu had already set up a banquet. He was afraid that Wen Han would neglect Cai Yan, so he simply took Cai Yan away and let him wait for his brothers to get together and have a good drink. Cai Yan had always been understanding, so he understood, nodded slightly, and gave Wen Han a wink, as if to signal him not to drink too much. Wen Han thought of her and smiled. When Cai Yan saw it, he left with Cai Yong.
"Although Cai Gong is more than 80 years old, his majesty is not less than in previous years!"
When Xu Huang saw Cai Yong leaving, he sighed, and his tight nerves were loosened, as if he were looking at the child who had left the school. Hearing this, everyone nods together, and they all agree with it very much. After Cai Yong left, Guan Yu led the crowd to the banquet that had already been prepared. The four brothers drank a cup and kept cheering. Sometimes they talked about the past, and sometimes they talked about the trend of the world. It seemed that there were endless words. They only hated the passage of time, and the banquet would eventually disperse.
Since Xichuan came back, in addition to choosing concubines at the beginning, Wen Han rarely had troubles. What's more, Xiangfei and Yufei, two beautiful women, gathered with his brothers to relieve the pain of lovesickness. This period of time can be said to be the most joyful and leisurely time for Wen Han to become the queen of the Western Tang Dynasty.
And at this time, in Xichuan. With the whereabouts of Wen Han's edict, Xu Shu and Zhao Yun discussed together, and the two did their own thing. Zhao Yun recruited more than ten thousand elite soldiers, and took Deng Ai and Wang Shuang from Zhang Liao's army. Then, according to Xu Shu's words, in order not to scare the snakes, he distributed the number of troops to the territory of Jiaozhou. Deng Ai and Wang Shuang each led a soldier and a horse. When Xu Shu's arms and military weapons were fully prepared, Zhao Yun personally led the rear army to advance.
However, it is said that Deng Ai went to Qilan City first, and every day he went to inquire near Shi'an, and then secretly contacted Feiyuan, who had already sneaked into Shi'an according to Zhao Yun's earlier orders.
And when the Western Tang army prepared to attack Shi'an. In Shi'an City, Ma Liang's face was sad, his eyebrows were deep locked, and his voice was righteous.
"Filial piety, we will accept the people like this, and there must be many fine works in the Western Tang Dynasty. If we don't stop it, it will become a disaster over time!!"
When Fa Zheng heard the words, his eyes narrowed and said in a condensed voice.
"You don't have to worry too much about the season. But all the people who enter the city are not up to you to find out one by one. You have always been cautious. How can there be young people sneaking into the city!?"
Ma Liang heard the words, sighed, and said bitterly.
"You don't know anything about filial piety. If it's ordinary and detailed, it can't be hidden from me. However, in the early years, the article was not ordinary and convenient in Sichuan, and it was mostly made by Feiyuan. These flying gulls are not only skillful, but also have a better understanding of secrets and hiding techniques, but also secretly organized. Many people have long turned into people living in Sichuan. Moreover, in the past six months, nearly tens of thousands of people have come to invest. If you want to find out in detail, it is absolutely impossible. I'm also heartless and powerless! If it is a thief from the Western Tang Dynasty who suddenly attacks and coincides with the flying gull in the city inside and outside, Shi'an will definitely be in danger!! I still need to be careful with you!!"
Fa Zheng listened, his face darkened, and a little urgency flashed in his eyes. Then he quickly suppressed and asked Ma Liang.
"How did you talk to Nie You?"
Ma Liang's face darkened when he heard the words, and he nodded slightly.
"As the Prime Minister expected, this Nie You is a greedy rat who is afraid of death, but he is also very rich. I have sent an envoy to tell him about his interests and give him a lot of money. Nie You is overjoyed and has accepted the offer of congratulations.
Fa Zheng's eyes opened, his eyes shone brightly, and he said harshly.
"The Prime Minister's expectation is really like a god, and what is particularly admirable is that he has been preparing for a rainy day for a long time and has been exploring in the area of Jiaozhou. The officials of Jiaozhou know everything about it. At present, Zhu Zhi, Zhuge Ke and other talented people have left to visit Wu Nan to help. Jiaozhou is empty, but what is left is all useless mediocrity. In this way, we followed the prime minister's plan, but when we heard that Zhu Zhi was defeated, we secretly congratulated him. As the Prime Minister said, Shi'an's small city is a border place and cannot be lived for a long time. When I wait for me to take Lin He, I will be able to enter, attack, retreat and defend. When I return to Shu Han, the mountains will rise again, and it will be just around the corner!!"
Ma Liang listened, but he looked quite worried and said.
"Although the Prime Minister has been arranged for a long time, he also said before leaving that there are many talented people in the Western Tang Dynasty. If we hear that we recruit the people in Nachuan in Shi'an, there will be a movement. I'm only afraid of the thieves of the Western Tang Dynasty, and now I have been secretly plotting to settle down!!"
The face of the law tightened, as if he remembered something and said to Ma Liang.
"Before the Prime Minister left, he and I had three tips, namely red, blue and yellow. Whenever he encountered something difficult to do, he opened them in turn. Now that the situation is quite urgent, why don't Ji Chang dismantle one first!?"
Ma Liang listened to what Fa Zheng said, and his eyes lit up, so he took out three brocade bags from his waist, and then opened the red one. There was a small silk in the brocade bag, and the small silk just wrote a word 'fast'.
"Quick!? What does the Prime Minister mean?
Fa Zheng frowned, his face was dark, and it was difficult to understand for a while. Ma Liang's light flashed and said in a quick voice.
"Is it possible that the Prime Minister taught me to wait and get congratulations quickly?"
"But although this Nie You is greedy for money, he should also promise us to donate the city. However, according to our previous discussion, it would be better to wait for Zhu Zhi to be defeated, which made Nie You think that the Eastern Wu was exhausted, and then he took it. We are so eager to act, but what can we do in case?
Fa Zheng said in a solemn voice, and his face was full of solemnity. Ma Liang's eyes were calm. After thinking about it, he still felt that Zhuge Liang was like this, and there must be a reason.
"The Prime Minister said earlier that teaching me was equivalent to an urgent moment before I dismantled it. In this way, it is possible that the Prime Minister expected that the Western Tang Dynasty had taken measures, so he taught me to do this quickly, so as not to break the city and regret it.
As soon as Ma Liang's voice fell, suddenly a young general rushed in. Seeing that the young general was strong and powerful, he was also a swallow's jaw ring, with a leopard's head. This young general was Zhang Bao, the son of Zhang Fei. However, it is said that although this bud is young, it is very good at martial arts. At the beginning, Chengdu was broken. He protected the old and young in the family and rushed straight to kill. No one could stop it. Many Tang soldiers thought that it was Zhang Fei, and they were scared. Later, he was separated from Zhuge Liang and other people, but he was extremely witty and hid in secret. When he heard that Zhuge Liang and others were in Shi'an, he took his family to vote. Now, Zhang Fu came in a hurry and bowed his hand.
"Report!! A general under his command found that at the gate outside the border, the strength of the Tang thief suddenly increased a lot, and it was suspected that there were reinforcements!!"
When Fa Zheng and Ma Liang heard this, their faces suddenly changed greatly and they said in unison.
"The Tang thief came so fast!?"
Ma Liang first stabilized his posture and said that he was in a hurry.
"This is the point, and you can't neglect it any more. Fortunately, most of the Tang thieves haven't arrived yet. I'll wait and send someone to pick up Linhe as soon as possible, and then place the king there, just in case!!"
When Fa Zheng heard the words, his heart beat, and he didn't care too much. He nod and answered.
"What Ji Chang said is reasonable. The king is the supreme leader of the Shu and Han Dynasties, and there is no room for any loss. In this way, you will immediately lead 5,000 soldiers and horses, and the two generals of Anbang and Tan will go together. I have been guarding Shi'an since my uncle to fight against the Tang thieves!!"
Ma Liang heard this, his face changed and he was about to open his mouth. But the law is incontrospectedly.
"Ji Chang, don't say too much, that's the decision!!"
Ma's conscience shook his head, sighed, and then arched his hand to take the order. That night, Zhang Fu was ordered to lead 2,000 soldiers to pick up Linhe. The next day, Pan Ping led 3,000 soldiers to protect Ma Liang, Liu Chan and other officials. Flying gulls in the city, seeing the Shu army rising up repeatedly, quickly looking for an opportunity to report. When Deng Ai heard this, his face changed and slandered secretly.
"Is it possible that the Shu people have already arranged that our army is coming to attack, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to defend, so they will move their positions!?"
Deng Ai thought about it, and the quick instructor informed Zhao Yun, and then ordered 3,000 soldiers and horses to lead an army to explore the reality. Not long after Ma Liang and others left, Fa Zheng was determined. Suddenly, the soldiers rushed to report that Deng Ai, a young general of the Tang Dynasty, led 3,000 soldiers. When Fa Zheng heard the words, his face changed. He had heard that Deng Ai was full of wisdom and courage. In order to get it, this time, the army must be to explore the truth. Fa Zheng will not make Deng Ai succeed. He quickly ordered the three armies to prepare for each other. When he was young, Deng Ai led his troops to the north gate of Shi'an, set up a position and shouted harshly.
"Deng Shi is here!! Who are you waiting for Shu people to make the decision? Come out and answer quickly!!"
Deng Ai shouted sharply, like a Thunderbolt explosion. The Shu soldiers in the city were all afraid, and no one dared to answer.
