The next day, Lu Xun appointed a team of men and horses to escort Huang Zhong from Wudu City in Liangzhou and through Bingzhou to Jizhou.However, for Huang Zhong, it seems that these people are escorting him, but in fact, they are to monitor and escort him, but he is more free and rides in the carriage.All the swords, soldiers, bows and arrows were also taken away, and in the carriage, Huang Zhong didn't have to think about anything, he just lay down in the car and slept in Jizhou.When Huang Zhong marched from Wudu City in Liangzhou with the soldiers and horses of the Zhao army, the Shu Wei army led by Fa Zheng, Wei Yan, Liu Ye and Le Jin also retreated to the land of Hanzhong, and the 70,000 soldiers and horses in this attack were killed in 20,000, and several deputy generals and ordinary generals.Of course, these are not the main ones, the most important thing is that Huang Zhong, the general of Shu State, was actually captured by Ma Chao, the general of the enemy army.Such a big event made everyone look at each other after they were defeated and fled back to Hanzhong, not daring to say anything.Wei Yan and Huang Zhong had the closest relationship, and he was particularly annoyed by Huang Zhong's capture this time, and couldn't help but be furious at the moment: "This damn Zhao army is so cunning, this time the troops are divided into multiple ways to intercept us, making us lose our troops."
even captured General Huang, and as soon as the news spread in the barracks, the morale of the army was greatly reduced.In this way, presumably in the near future, our army is unable to start a war with the Zhao army. ”After hearing this, Le Jin on the side hurriedly comforted and persuaded: "General Wei Yan doesn't need to be so frustrated, this time we just lost a war, and there are wins and losses in wars, what are you afraid of."
Recall that there are still many soldiers in our army, and with the two of you and me joining forces, we should have enough ability to fight the enemy. ”After hearing Le Jin's persuasion, Wei Yan couldn't help but snort coldly, and then spoke: "General Le Jin, what you said is too simple, although Wei Yan also has such ambitions as you, but how can the enemy army be strong.I know that you have never fought with General Huang Lao, you must know that I, Wei Yan, think that my martial arts are good, but I am definitely not General Huang's opponent, if Wei Yan fights with General Huang, I am afraid that I will not be able to resist dozens of rounds, and I will be defeated.This time, even General Huang was captured by the enemy general, just imagine how you and I can fight against it" For Wei Yan's words, Le Jin was speechless, during the time that Le Jin was in the camp, he had fought with Wei Yan when he had nothing to do, so he naturally knew Wei Yan's strength, and it could be said that he was on a par with himself, regardless of victory or defeat.Now that Wei Yan claims that he is not Huang Zhong's opponent, then he may not be able to compete with Huang Zhong, and Huang Zhong is not the opponent of Ma Chao in this battle, let alone the two.At that moment, Le Jin deliberately changed the topic and said: "The battle between these two armies is not entirely dependent on force, we can use stratagem to plot against the enemy army and win."
You and I are the two great military divisions of Shu Wei, Mr.
Fa Zheng and Mr.
Liu Ye are here, and with the talents of the two of them, it is not a problem to defeat the enemy army. ”"Hmph, not resourceful, this time our two armies jointly attacked Wudu City, isn't it a plan to lure the enemy, but what is the result" After Wei Yan finished speaking, he couldn't help but glance at Fa Zheng and Liu Ye, seeing that neither of them spoke, Wei Yan said to himself: "Among the Zhao army, not only are the soldiers brave, but the generals are all good, and even the military advisors are also capable of ministers.I'm afraid that with the strength of the strategists of your and my armies, it will be difficult to confront them. ”But I didn't know that Wei Yan's complaint buried the two armies of Shu and Wei inside and out, and also belittled the weakness of the two countries.Looking at Na Lejin, Fa Zheng and Liu Ye again, they were silent one by one with their heads down, after all, the facts were in front of them, especially the war that had just ended, and everyone was completely lost.Even what Wei Yan said this time made everyone angry in their hearts, and everyone had to eat Coptis chinensis dumbly and couldn't speak.Suddenly, Liu Ye, the minister of the Wei army, bowed his hand slightly to Wei Yan, and said with a slight apology: "General Wei Yan is angry for the time being, since this incident has happened, it is futile for me to complain here."
It's just that we are a little careless, and some underestimate these Zhao troops, but I didn't expect those Zhao troops to be so powerful. ”After speaking, seeing that Wei Yan was silent, Liu Ye continued to speak: "This war is still over, as the general said just now, in a short period of time, we can no longer fight with the enemy.And at this moment in Yizhou, the Majesties of the two countries are also very much looking forward to the outcome of our war.It's easy to say about the failure of the attack, but I'm afraid it's hard for us to talk about General Huang's capture by the enemy, and I don't know if you have any good ways to defuse this turmoil.Although Liu Ye is not a minister of Shu Han, he also knows that if His Majesty of Shu knows about this, he will definitely be furious, lest he will be guilty of you at that time. ”"This" Hearing Liu Ye's persuasion, Fa Zheng and Wei Yan both looked at each other, and they didn't know what to do for a while.You must know that Huang Zhongnai is the beloved general by His Majesty's side, and if His Majesty knows that because of his own mistakes, Ai will be captured by the enemy, His Majesty is really likely to blame the two of them.Dismissal and demotion are all trivial matters, and it is also a trivial matter to be embarrassed up and down in the Shu Kingdom, and I am afraid that I am afraid, and the two of them will be dismissed and thrown into prison, and they will not be reused from now on, or it is even more terrible to order them to be beheaded in anger.Just when the two were in a dilemma, they saw that Liu Ye stood up again, bowed slightly to the two, and then opened his mouth and said: "Liu Ye has a plan that can help the two of you resolve this turmoil, but I don't know if the two of you are willing." ”When Fa Zheng heard Liu Ye's words, his eyes lit up, but Wei Yan on the side couldn't help but ask: "Oh, Mr.
Liu Ye, if you have any ideas, you might as well say it quickly." ”"This time, our army was divided into multiple routes, and we wanted to assist General Huang Lao to capture the enemy general Ma Chao, but the two armies in front and behind were sniped by the enemy, and it can be said that there were countless casualties."
After Liu Ye finished speaking, he paused and continued: "And General Huang led 5,000 soldiers and horses to use his body as bait, and he also ambushed Ma Chao earlier than the enemy's fierce general, but only a few people and horses were damaged.Moreover, Liu Ye heard that the sergeant who came back said that General Huang did not return this time, not because he was captured by the enemy, but because General Huang Lao voluntarily surrendered to the enemy general Ma Chao and was captured.At that time, some sergeants said that General Huang's move was to protect the captured sergeants, but if this incident is put into another way, it is really a bit too strange. ”As soon as Liu Ye's voice fell, Wei Yan on the side immediately said angrily: "You Mr.
Liu Ye, do you know what you are talking about" In the face of Wei Yan's anger, Liu Ye was not afraid, but said calmly: "General Wei Yan, Liu Ye clearly knows what he is talking about."
It's just that this matter can be said to have nothing to do with our Wei State, even if they go back and face the accountability of our Wei State, Liu Ye and General Le Jin can't take any responsibility. ”"It's just that this time, the two of us joined forces with Mr.
Fa Zheng and General Wei Yan to sit here, and Liu Ye couldn't help but feel a little comrade-in-arms, so I didn't want to see His Majesty Shu deal with the two.And in Liu Ye's opinion, Huang Zhong originally surrendered to the Zhao army on his own, and now that the Zhao army finally captured a tiger in Shu this time, imagine how the Zhao army would let the old general Huang return.Rather than the two of them being held accountable for this, Liu Ye hopes that the two of them can take advantage of this incident to shirk the matter so as not to be heavily punished. ”After Liu Ye finished speaking, he looked at Fa Zheng and Wei Yan again, this time after hearing Liu Ye's words, the two were speechless, and the two looked at each other, and they didn't know how to refute for a while.After a while, I saw Fa Zheng smile and said: "It is worthy of Mr.
Liu Ye, he actually has such a mind, and even such details can be calculated." ”"That's right, if the matter of General Huang's capture this time reaches His Majesty, the two of us will be deeply responsible.At the worst, he will be dismissed from his official position and imprisoned, and at worst, he will most likely be beheaded, in short, no matter what, General Huang will not return.Rather than this, it is better to protect yourself and wait for the opportunity in the future to regain your strength and fight with the Zhao army to avenge this. ”When Wei Yan heard this, he couldn't help but blurt out: "Military Master, how can this be" Before Wei Yan finished speaking, Liu Ye immediately bowed to Fa Zheng and said: "Mr.
Fa Zheng is also wise, if it is because of the matter of General Huang, the two allies are imprisoned or go to Huangquan, then Liu Ye will feel very pity."
Rather than die unjustly like this, it is better to regain strength, fight bravely to kill the enemy, and die heroically on the battlefield. ”At this moment, Wei Yan was really speechless, and he didn't know what to do.When I saw Fa Zheng, he said: "After a while, Fa Zheng wrote a letter, saying that this time your two armies joined forces to attack Wudu City, and originally used a plan to lure the enemy out of the city, and wanted to lure Ma out of the city and capture him, so as to deceive the gate of Wudu City."
As a result, he didn't expect Huang Zhong to leak the secret, so that the enemy army got the news and planned to plot against our two armies, resulting in the loss of the army.Moreover, Huang Zhong defected to the enemy army and did not return, and the ministers sent a message to His Majesty, imploring His Majesty to remove Huang Zhong from his official position and regard him as a crime of treason. ”"Ah" After Fa Zheng's voice was spoken, Wei Yan on the side was already dumbfounded.However, thinking back to Liu Ye's words before, there is really no other way, in order to make the two innocent, this can be said to be the best way in front of him.Immediately, I heard Liu Ye immediately speak: "Mr.
Fazheng, please rest assured, this time I and General Lejin are fighting side by side with the two of you, we are grasshoppers on a rope, and we will never leak this matter." ”After hearing this, Fa Zheng smiled slightly, and said: "That's good, Fa Zheng will send a letter to send back to Yizhou and hand it over to Your Majesty." ”Afterwards, a superstitious letter on the military plane written by Yifa Zheng was sent to Liu Bei in Yizhou from 800 miles from Hanzhong, but he didn't know that this letter caused an uproar in the entire Shu Han
