I heard that the Liang Dynasty and Shu Han had friction again in Hanzhong, and the Shu Han general Guan Xiong led his troops into Guozhou, and the troops came to Nanchong City, and the Southern Jin Emperor Sima was very displeased, and then sent a special envoy to force Liu Xun to withdraw his troops.

Due to the containment of the Southern Jin Dynasty, Liu Xun did not dare to fight with Zhang Zhikui, but just let Guan Xiong harass Guozhou, in fact, it was a bad breath for the three Taibao, a while ago, it was rumored that Tang Yuan had cut the three Taibao, but when it came to the negotiation table, the Liang Jun negotiator said that the three Taibao were still alive, and the so-called killing of the three Taibao was just a miscommunication.

At this time, Liu Xun found the steps and agreed to withdraw his troops again, but asked the Liang Dynasty to cede two states as compensation for dishonesty, and Zhao Guangxu, the negotiator of the Liang army, agreed.

So, which two states to make?

The generals of the Liang army discussed together, and everyone's eyes fell on the Hanzhong general Lin Chongyang, who had been stationed in Hanzhong for more than ten years, and knew Hanzhong well, so which state had the least loss to the Liang army, of course he knew in his heart.

Lin Chongyang's face sank like water, and said, "Guozhou can't let it." You can do the rest of the state. ”

Lin Chongyang has been operating in Guozhou for many years, how can he be willing to give up Guozhou, and Guozhou's city defense is strong, if he lets it out, the loss will be twice as much.

So Zhao Guangxu ceded Quzhou and Fuzhou to Shu Han, the second negotiation ended, the two sides withdrew their troops, in order to prevent Tang Yuan from making another moth, the deputy marshal Zhang Zhikui and the director of the army Zhao Guangli watched Tang Yuan's withdrawal together, knowing that Tang Yuan's troops completely withdrew from Guozhou, they were relieved.

"This kid is really uneasy. Hurry up and let him go back to Jingzhou and let Cao Dingbang deal with him. ”

Seeing Tang Yuan away, Zhang Zhikui felt relaxed. Then he helped Lin Chongyang re-arm, and finally decided to leave a part of the troops for Mr. Lin, and then the generals of the Xuanjia Army also left Hanzhong one after another.

The situation in Hanzhong has returned to a balanced situation.

Lin Chongyang wrote a letter to Tang Zhen, asking for more troops and asking for Zhang Pan and Li Liang to stay in Hanzhong.

Tang Zhen mobilized troops and horses from Hexi and Longyou to supplement Lin Chongyang to 60,000 people, and also agreed to leave Zhang Pan and Li Liang behind.

Tang Yuan left Guozhou, slowly and leisurely walked to Jingzhou, walking extremely slowly, thirty miles a day, has been caught up by Zhang Zhikui, who set off five days late, Zhang Zhikui was puzzled, came to ask Tang Yuan: "What are you doing all the time?" What, are you still planning to return to Gozhou? ”

Tang Yuan said: "What's the hurry, Hanzhong is mountainous, what's wrong with traveling all the way?" ”

"Do you have enough food?"

"Of course it's enough, it's all snatched from Shu Han."

"When did you rob it? Why don't you report it? ”

"I robbed it during the last pursuit, why didn't I report it, I think Zhang Shuai can figure it out. If you don't leave a little behind, won't you be bullied to death? We are hard-working people, we can't compare with your Xuanjia Army, how hard your background is, but we are like rootless weeds. Hey, poor, pathetic. ”

"Don't pretend to be pathetic to me." Zhang Zhikui said angrily: "What do you plan to do in the future?" ”

"What can you plan, take it one step at a time." Tang Yuan said discouragedly.

Zhang Zhikui sighed and said, "We are all martial artists, and our lives have long been out of our own." Well, I don't bother you anymore, you continue to travel in the mountains and rivers to cultivate your sentiments, don't do it from now on, cherish! ”

"Zhang Shuai cherishes!"

Zhang Zhikui's troops passed, and soon after Cao Bao's troops came again, Cao Bao saw Tang Yuan wandering around the mountains with a beautiful woman, felt novel, and came to greet Tang Yuan.

"General Tang, it's so comfortable." Cao Bao laughed.

"Oh, General Cao smiled."

"Hehe," Cao Bao looked at Youlan and said with a smile: "General Tang has a good eye, such a fairy-like woman, where did you find it, if there is such a good one, don't forget to introduce it to us." ”

Tang Yuan said: "There are many beauties in Jingzhou, if General Cao has time, he can go to Jingzhou for a visit, and introduce you to a few more when the time comes." However, I can't tell my sister-in-law about this, so I don't have to scold me Tang Yuan for ruining her good deeds. ”

Hearing this, Cao Bao laughed, "Tang Yuan, you are hiding deep enough, although I can't see through you, but there are capable people around me, and I have already guessed your thoughts, do you want to listen to what the capable people around me say?" ”

"Oh?" Tang Yuan pretended to be shocked and said, "General Cao has such a capable person beside him, of course I want to hear how the capable person criticizes me." ”

Cao Bao waved his hand and said: "Capable people say that there are many possibilities in you, if you think about it in the deepest depths, you are very dangerous." I also think that you are not a mortal, and you will definitely be crowned king and worship in the future, and when the time comes, it is difficult to say whether my Cao family can still stand in the temple. I just hope that General Tang will raise his noble hand and let Cao Bao go. ”

What is this called?

Tang Yuan frowned and said, "Why should General Cao test me, I am loyal to the Emperor of the Liang Dynasty, and I have no two hearts. ”

"You are loyal to the emperor, but Empress Dowager Cao is not the emperor." Cao Bao sighed and said: "Actually, our Cao family is also difficult to ride a tiger, you say, do we support or not support the Queen Mother?" Supporting the Queen Mother, in fact, is also playing with fire in the backyard, and if you don't know when you will be burned. Everyone wants to master military power, but they don't know the pain of mastering military power. As a civilian official, it's a big deal to be dismissed from office, but as a military general, he is not so lucky. is like Meng Zong, although he has no soldiers, but is the Queen Mother willing to let him go? I'd rather let his son continue to be a duke than let him go, how much hatred is this? How deep is the jealousy? Prevent a resurgence. ”

Tang Yuan didn't know why Cao Bao was telling him this, in fact, everyone knew in their hearts that these were all whining words, which were useless for enhancing their feelings, and sometimes they were even counterproductive.

In addition, people who have mixed up to their level can no longer act according to their feelings.

Cao Bao chattered and refused to leave, and finally begged for a drink in Tang Yuan's military camp, of course Tang Yuan couldn't let him go, he could only be perfunctory.

After drinking, it was already dark, Cao Bao said that he was leaving, Tang Yuan sent him to the gate of Dazhai, Cao Bao said in a low voice: "Don't go back to Jingzhou." ”

Hearing this, Tang Yuan was stunned, stunned for a moment, Cao Bao had already beaten his horse and left.

Cao Bao actually said something that Tang Qi had said, which made Tang Yuan fall into deep thought in an instant.

"If I don't go back to Jingzhou, where can I go?"

Tang Yuan felt a headache for a while, he deliberately marched slowly, just waiting for Tang Qi's arrangement, but Tang Qi didn't move, and his food was not enough, if he continued to delay like this, he didn't need to be suppressed by the Queen Mother, and his ten thousand soldiers and horses were gone.

"Forget it, don't go." Tang Yuan looked at the road when he came and went.

"What? Get back? Nalan Xin asked.

"Yes, go back. Let's go to Lin Chongyang to beg for food. ”

"When will you go back?"

"Not yet, you have to wait for Ju Wusheng and Su Beiqin to pass."

"Then why don't we go?"

Tang Yuan looked around at this place of lofty mountains and peaks, and said, "Suppress the bandits." ”
