Shu Han Confucian General of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 200

"Gongheng, why are you looking for us in such a hurry?" After sitting down, Wang Lei asked while stretching his hands that were already red with cold to the fire for warmth.

"Yiyi, Ziwen, we seem to have fallen for it!" Huang Quan said surprisingly.Zhang Ren and Wang Lei were stunned when they heard the words, Huang Quan sighed and told all the things he worried about in the afternoon.The more Zhang Ren and Wang Lei listened, the more frightened they became. When Huang Quan finished speaking, they were also in a cold sweat.

"From Gongheng's words, it seems to be true." Wang Lei digested Huang Quan's words for a while, and felt that this was indeed the case.Hearing this, Zhang Ren said anxiously: "In this case, Gongheng, why don't you tell the Lord clearly?"

"Without evidence, how can you convince people?" Huang Quan said with a wry smile.Looking at Zhang Ren and Wang Lei who looked worried, Huang Quan cheered up and comforted him: "Maybe this is my unfounded worry, Fa Xiaozhi and the others may not do this."

"I hope so!" Zhang Ren sighed, but Wang Lei said angrily: "These Dongzhou factions have never been good things. Fazheng and Mengda have discussed it in nine out of ten. Our Yizhou was sold to Liu Bei!"

"Ziwen, who is this?" Huang Quan couldn't react when he saw Wang Lei's sudden excitement.But Wang Lei said again: "Justice, fairness, have you forgotten, if it weren't for these Dongzhou faction's idiots, why would there be such a catastrophe back then!"

"Hey!" Huang Quan and Zhang Ren also looked sad when they heard Wang Lei mention the past.Due to the inconvenient transportation, Shu people have been relatively closed since ancient times, so their character is relatively exclusive.In recent years, due to the chaos in the world, many foreigners have fled to Sichuan to avoid disaster.The most of them are the neighboring counties of Guanzhong, Xiliang, Jingzhou and Yuzhou.Among the officials in central Shu, those who came from these places were called the Dongzhou faction, and they started to fight against the locals.And Liu Zhang and his son are outsiders themselves. In order to balance the power of the two factions, while appeasing the locals, they also try their best to win over the Dongzhou faction.But Liu Zhang's political skills are far inferior to his father's, so since he came to power, the conflict between the Dongzhou faction and the Shuzhong faction has been very sharp.

The catastrophe that Wang Lei mentioned was five years ago, that is, the fifth year of Jian'an, in 200 AD, because some local officials in Xichuan were seriously dissatisfied with Liu Zhang's reuse of the Dongzhou faction, so they united and planned a mutiny. Get rid of Liu Zhang, the largest outsider, and let the people in Shuzhong govern Shuzhong by themselves.This mutiny spread far and wide, and the core areas of Xichuan, such as Shu County and Berkshire, were baptized by the flames of war.According to rough statistics, at least [-] soldiers and hundreds of thousands of civilians died in this mutiny.It is also because of this that Xichuan, which was originally known as the land of abundance, is now somewhat in decline.

"Things have come to this point, it's useless to think too much. Let me see it this way. I will send capable generals to garrison Jiameng Pass. Even if Meng Da and the others have two hearts, at most they will lose Nanjiang City. As long as Jiameng Pass is not lost, we will You will be able to sit back and relax!" Zhang Ren thought for a while, Huang Quan and Wang Lei were inferior to Zhang Ren in terms of military strategy, so he could only agree with him.

The next day, according to Fazheng's strategy, Liu Zhang personally wrote a letter, saying that he thanked Zhao Feng for helping him destroy Zhang Lu, so he specially hosted a banquet in Nanjiang City on the night of the Lantern Festival to entertain Zhao Feng. The Lord can't move lightly, and Engagement Mengda will attend instead of himself.A few days later, this post was in the hands of Zhao Feng in Nanzheng City.

"Liu Jiyu wants to invite me to dinner?" Zhao Feng also felt very strange after reading it.His intuition told him that there was something famous in it.

"General, I'm afraid there may be fraud in this!" After reading the post Zhao Feng handed her, Xiao Qiao said the same, her tone was firmer.

"Ying'er, why do you say that?" Zhao Feng asked in surprise.Unexpectedly, Xiao Qiao could also see that something was wrong.To say that the relationship between these two people is really weird now, at least this name is a bit weird.Xiao Qiao called Zhao Feng directly as General, while Zhao Feng called her Ying'er.Everything about the god horse husband and wife is exempted.Although it is not unacceptable to do so, there is somewhat a sense of distance between the two.Except when they were in bed, the two really didn't look like a couple.

"General, Liu Yizhou just sent people to work in the army just a few days ago, but he wants to hold a banquet to thank the general. I don't think this Liu Yizhou is so hospitable." Xiao Qiao said with a smile, but her tone remained the same. Pretty sure.Speaking of this, she couldn't help remembering that it was because of that time that Zhao Feng drank too much and took her, and she couldn't help feeling a little bit in her heart.

"It's reasonable, and it's still in Nanjiang City, so it's a Hongmen Banquet!" Zhao Feng also knew quite well.Speaking of Nanjiang City, because it is too close to Jiameng Pass and too far from Yangping Pass, Zhao Feng simply assigned it to Liu Zhang when he divided the border.To hold a banquet there is clearly to lure oneself to go deep alone.It's just why Liu Zhang suddenly wanted to get on with him, Zhao Feng thought about it, but he didn't think of the specific reason for a while.

Looking at Xiao Qiao in front of him, Zhao Feng didn't expect her to be able to see that something was wrong, presumably it was when he was following Zhou Yu, he was influenced by his ears and eyes, so he must have some understanding of these simple strategies.
"General, someone sent you a letter just now." At this time, Niu Jin hurried over. "What a coincidence, why did so many people write to me today?" Zhao Feng took the letter with some helplessness and opened it, and couldn't help but let out a soft "huh" when he saw it.

"Where is the person who delivered the letter?" Zhao Feng put away the letter and asked Niu Jin.

"The person who came here gave me the letter and left!" Niu Jin replied honestly.Zhao Feng's heart suddenly brightened, it seems that this Meng Da is indeed the same as in history.

The letter just now was sent to Zhao Feng by Meng Da's confidants.In the letter, Meng Da told Zhao Feng that Liu Zhang intended to harm him, so the banquet in Nanjiang City was a grand banquet.If Zhao Feng doesn't want to come, then it's best to prepare the army as soon as possible, and Zhang Ren will probably do it soon; if he is willing to come, then he can act as an internal response to help Zhao Feng win Nanjiang City and even Jiameng Pass, and offer the victory of Xichuan Landed in Liu Bei.

Speaking of the Three Kingdoms period, there were quite a few Erwuzi.But in Zhao Feng's opinion, this Meng Da can definitely be ranked in the top three among the second and fifth boys.There is no other reason, as long as this guy sees something wrong with the limelight, he will immediately turn his back on it, and the real one who has milk is a mother.Considering that he was one of the main figures who lured Liu Bei to Xichuan in history, Zhao Feng didn't have much doubt about his letter.After all, if he cheated, he basically wanted to confront himself and Liu Bei behind him.Taking into account Meng Da's personality of changing his mind, it's not his style to do so.

"General, what's the matter?" Niu Jin quickly asked after seeing Zhao Feng's silence after reading the letter.

"It's nothing, Niu Jin, get ready, bring hundreds of capable brothers, and go to Nanjiang City with me for a banquet tomorrow!" Zhao Feng ordered, and Niu Jin will go and prepare not to mention it. "It seems that the general is very sure?" After listening to Zhao Feng's words, Xiao Qiao asked with a smile.

"It's not very sure, it's just because Liu Zhang wants to plot against me, forgive him for not being able to do that!" Zhao Feng smiled, and patted Xiao Qiao's shoulder affectionately by the way.Not wanting to take this shot, Xiao Qiao frowned slightly.Although it was very slight, Zhao Feng still noticed it.

"What's the matter, is your shoulder uncomfortable?" Zhao Feng asked quickly.Xiao Qiao hesitated slightly when she heard the words, and then said with a faint smile: "It's nothing, it's an old problem, and it hurts when the sky is overcast."

"Is it the wound left in Chaisang?" Zhao Feng suddenly remembered the past and asked quickly.

"It was that time!" Xiao Qiao replied, but his eyes were a little erratic.Chaisang's soul-stirring catastrophe, although it has only been more than two years.But in retrospect, it seems that many years have passed.Sun Quan, who had awakened him countless times from nightmares, has also been dead for more than a year.

"I'll show you later, if you want to prescribe some more medicine to help you cure it. If you don't do it right now, if you get the root cause of the disease in the future, you will suffer!" After Zhao Feng couldn't help but dragged Xiao Qiao away Entering the room, after unbuttoning her coat, he helped her look at the shocking scar on her shoulder.

"It shouldn't be a serious problem, it's just that the muscles and bones are a little damaged, and it will be fine with a few patches of medicine." Zhao Feng said after reading it carefully.After a pause, Zhao Feng said again: "But I can't get rid of this scar."

"It's okay, it's not on the face!" Xiao Qiao was quite open-minded.After putting on her clothes, Xiao Qiao looked at Zhao Feng in front of her, suddenly smiled and asked, "General, why are you so kind to me?"

"Why, don't you want me to treat you well?" Zhao Feng felt that her question was really a bit funny.

"Of course not, it's just?" Xiao Qiao didn't seem to know how to say it accurately, and this anxiety turned out to be somewhat incoherent.Zhao Feng chuckled, took her hand and said, "Shouldn't men be nicer to women? After all, women are there to hurt, especially my own wife!"

"Wife?" Xiao Qiao couldn't resist Zhao Feng's sudden fresh vocabulary, and Zhao Feng hurriedly laughed to cover it up: "It means madam, we vulgar people call it like that."

"So, I'm still wondering, I'm not an old woman!" Xiao Qiao smiled.The beauty smiled, and the room was really full of spring.Although Zhao Feng has seen a lot, he still can't help feeling a little dazed at first glance.

"Ying'er, you are my woman, so I should treat you well, can you understand?" Zhao Feng seemed to feel the uneasiness in Xiao Qiao's heart, took her hand and put it on his cheek, and said gently.

"I know!" Although Xiao Qiao is not a young girl, her resistance to his hot love words is not much better than that of Zhen Mi.This also made Zhao Feng sigh a little, the status of women in this era is really too humble.

In history, Xiao Qiao didn't hear from Zhou Yu after Zhou Yu's death. Considering that he had seen Sun Quan's perverted nature, Zhao Feng estimated that her fate should be quite miserable.Now that I have accepted her, I also hope that she can live a happier life.At least, don't be depressed and forced to smile all day long like before.Judging from the effect of these days, it is not bad.After more than half a month of hard work, Xiao Qiao's complexion has obviously improved a lot.

"I'm going to Nanjiang tomorrow, and it will take at least ten days and a half months to come back. I'll leave the family affairs to you!" Zhao Feng thought for a while, Zhao Yun was in the army, Zhuge Jun was in the civil affairs, and Ma Teng and his daughter were the only ones. Borrowing to live in your own home, let Xiao Qiao take care of you when you are not around.

"I know, just don't worry, General!" Xiao Qiao understood what Zhao Feng wanted her to pay attention to, and nodded in agreement.Zhao Feng explained some other things before leaving in peace.

The next day, Zhao Feng recruited Zhao Yun, who was training in Mianyang, and asked him to preside over Hanzhong's military affairs, while he himself went to Nanjiang City for a banquet.Zhao Yun was also taken aback when he heard the words, and suggested that Zhao Feng should not go to Nanjiang, Zhuge Jun also had the same opinion as him.

"General Zhao, it's really unexpected that Liu Zhang is hosting a banquet for the general at this moment. I'm afraid there must be some articles in it. Besides, Nanjiang City has already passed the Yangping Pass, the general must not personally take risks!" Zhuge Jun hastily remonstrated.

"Yes, Bo Tao. Liu Zhang has coveted the land of Hanzhong for a long time, and now he invites you to the banquet, which is clearly a Hongmen banquet!" Zhao Yun also persuaded.

Looking at the earnest Zhao Yun and Zhuge Jun in front of him, Zhao Feng chuckled and said, "Why, do you think I didn't see it?"

"You still go after seeing it?" Zhao Yun was a little speechless.But Zhao Feng said confidently: "Zilong, you don't know something, I hope Liu Zhang will harm me. In this way, if he breaks his promise, we can justifiably take down Xichuan!"

"Bo Tao, I know you are very resourceful, but do you need to carefully plan this matter?" Zhao Yun thought about it and still felt a little risky, so he asked hastily.

"It's okay, Zilong. With Xichuan people's abilities, I'm still a little bit close to moving. I'll only lead 3000 people to go, and you'll be in charge of military affairs in Hanzhong." Zhao Feng's voice became low at this point, and then he said: "In case something happens to me, you must not easily start a war with the people of Xichuan. You can only stick to the pass. Hanzhong has insufficient troops. Only when the lord sends troops from Jingzhou, can you fight Liu Zhang in a two-pronged attack."

"I know!" Zhao Yun looked at Zhao Feng, feeling a little nervous.Now Zhao Feng is betting on whether he can get out of this trip unscathed.As long as he retreats completely, he can justifiably start a war with the people of Xichuan.What the two of them didn't know was that when Jiameng closed the door, two of them were also conflicted.

After Jiameng Pass was closed, Meng Da, who had just arrived here, explained the details of the operation to Wu Lan and Lei Tong, guards of Jiameng Pass. "Listen to me throwing a cup tomorrow, and the soldiers who have ambushed will come out. The two of you will follow me to capture Zhao Botao alive and send him to Chengdu." Meng Da said in detail.

"I understand!" Wu Lan nodded and said, the expressions of the two were not very excited.After a little silence, Lei Tong asked, "Why did my lord suddenly trap General Zhao?" His tone was full of bewilderment.This is no wonder to them, if Xichuan and Hanzhong turn against each other, then Jiameng Pass will be the first front line, and there will be a war for no reason, but they don't know it.

"Oh, the two generals don't know something. My lord listened to Huang Quan's slander and coveted the land of Hanzhong, so I came up with this Hongmen Banquet. Originally, Huang Quan persuaded my lord to fight without declaring it. Thanks to Fa Xiaozhi's persuasion, Then it was changed to capture alive. You also know that Uncle Liu Huang sits in the five states and opposes him with the land of Xichuan, isn’t it self-defeating? Now that it is like this, there is finally a sliver of redemption." Meng Da said, "Heartbroken." typical.

"This Huang Quan really lost his head. Didn't he harm the lord and the people of Xichuan!" Wu Lan was also extremely dissatisfied when he heard the words, and Lei Tong sighed even more.Meng Da looked at the two people who looked angry, and also quietly showed a wicked smile.
