At first glance, it looks like a bit of an immortal, and this old man who is over eighty years old seems to have been waiting for a long time. This person is the Western Tang Dynasty Guozhang, Cai Feibai of the Han Dynasty, Cai Yong! Cai Yong knows a lot about self-cultivation, and has practiced Tai Chi and Five Bird Opera, and strengthens his body every day, although he is nearly eighty years old, his complexion is still excellent, and he is much more energetic than some sixty-year-old people. Originally, Wen Han intended to invite Cai Yong to move to Chang'an Palace together, but Cai Yong was used to living in Anyi and didn't want to worry about the affairs of the world anymore. After all, with Cai Yong's stern temperament, if he is in Chang'an, whenever he encounters something important, he will definitely say a few words. Cai Yong also knew his temperament, so he chose to stay in Anyi, and he also ended up idle, and he was happy to raise birds and repair books at home on weekdays, and from time to time he and Cai Yan repaired a few family letters to solve lovesickness. When Wen Han and the others came to the county hall, Cai Yan saw his father and exclaimed, tears almost came out of his eyes. Cai Yong turned around and saw his daughter, who he missed day and night, and called a few times, almost tears.

When Wen Han saw his former master, he didn't dare to be presumptuous, and hurriedly bowed his hand.

"The boy greets the king!"

After Wen Han finished speaking, Guan Yu and others also worshipped. Cai Yong has always attached great importance to etiquette, and he is also solemn, and he and other brothers dare not be presumptuous. Cai Yong listened, and sure enough, his expression sank, his eyes converged, and he bowed to Wen Han rigorously.

"Old minister Cai Bojiao, meet King Tang! Long live my king, long live! ”

After the ceremony, Wen Han walked to Cai Yong's side, and Guan Yu and the others followed, each of them making a look of listening. Cai Yong glanced at everyone lightly, a hint of relief flashed in the corner of his eyes, and then said slowly.

"Your Majesty, you and other brothers, are not what they used to be, they are not kings or marquises, and they are no longer the yellow-haired erectors of Luoyang back then, so there is no need to be so restrained. The old man only hopes that you and other brothers can be more tied to the people of the world, don't forget the grand wish to drive the world with public opinion! ”

"We should remember the teachings of the national master!!"

Wen Han and the others gave their hands together, and they could regard Cai Yong as a master and a father. Cai Yong bowed slightly, then 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, so as to relieve the feelings of longing for many years."

Cai Yong knew that he was here, Wen Han and the others did not dare to be presumptuous, and they also knew that Guan Yu had already set up a banquet, and he was afraid that Wen Han would snub Cai Yan, so he simply took Cai Yan away and asked him to wait for his brothers to get together and have a good drink. Cai Yan has always been empathetic, so he realized, bowed his head slightly, and cast a look at Wen Han, as if signaling him not to drink too much. Wen Han smiled at her. When Cai Yan saw it, he left with Cai Yong.

"Although Cai Gong is more than eighty years old, his majesty has not diminished from previous years!"

Xu Huang sighed when he saw Cai Yong leaving, and his tense nerves were loosened, just like watching a child from the school. When everyone heard this, they all bowed their heads in unison, and they all agreed very much. After Cai Yong left, Guan Yu led everyone to the banquet that had already been prepared. The four brothers drank a cup of wine and kept talking, sometimes talking about the past, sometimes talking about the trend of the world, as if there were endless words, only hating the passage of time, and the banquet would eventually disperse.

Since Xichuan came back, in addition to choosing a concubine, Wen Han has rarely had any troubles, and he has two stunning beauties, Concubine Xiang and Concubine Yu, and he has gathered with his brothers to relieve the pain of lovesickness. This period of time can be described as the most joyful and leisurely time for Wen Han to become the queen of the Western Tang Dynasty.

And at this time, in the middle of the West River. With the whereabouts of Wen Han's edict, Xu Shu and Zhao Yun discussed together, and the two went their own way. Zhao Yun recruited more than 10,000 elite soldiers, and took Deng Ai and Wang Shuang from Zhang Liao's army, and then according to Xu Shu's words, in order not to startle the snake, he allocated more troops to the border of Wangjiaozhou. Deng Ai and Wang Shuang each led a soldier and horse away. After Xu Shu's baggage, weapons and other combat preparations were complete, Zhao Yun personally led the rear army to march.

However, it was said that Deng Ai first went to the city of Helan, and secretly sent a detailed investigation to the vicinity of Shi'an every day, and then secretly contacted the flying kite who had already infiltrated Shi'an according to Zhao Yun's instructions earlier.

And just when the west ** was preparing to capture Shi'an. In Shi'an City, Ma Liang had a sad face, his brows were deeply locked, and he said in a deep voice to the Fa.

"Filial piety, we accept the people like this, there will be many Xitang meticulous works, if they are not stopped, over time, it will become a disaster!!"

When Fa Zheng heard this, his eyes narrowed, and he said in a condensed voice.

"You don't have to worry about it. But all the people who enter the city, not all of them are ascertained by you one by one, you have always acted cautiously, how can there be young people who have entered the city!? ”

Hearing this, Ma Liang sighed and said bitterly.

"You don't know anything about filial piety. If it's ordinary and meticulous, it can't hide it from me. But in the early years, the extraordinary text was convenient for the middle of the river, and it was mostly distributed in the flying kite for fine work. These flying kites, each of them is not only skilled, but also understands the art of concealment and concealment, and is secretly organized, and many of them have long been inhabited by ordinary people in Sichuan. Moreover, in the past six months, tens of thousands of people have come to vote, and it is absolutely impossible to find out in detail. I also have a heart but no power! If it is a thief in the Western Tang Dynasty, it suddenly attacks, and the flying kite in the city is in harmony with the inside and outside, Shi'an will definitely be in danger!! Filial piety, you and I still need to be cautious!! ”

When Fa Zheng heard this, his face sank, and a little urgency flashed in his eyes, and then he quickly suppressed it and asked Ma Liang.

"How did you talk to that Nie friend?"

When Ma Liang heard this, his face sank, and he bowed slightly.

"As the prime minister expected, this Nie You is a rat who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but he is very wealthy. I have sent an envoy to him a time ago to explain the benefits and disadvantages and give him a large amount of money. Nie You is overjoyed and has promised to congratulate each other. ”

Fa Zheng's eyes opened, his eyes shone brightly, and he said sharply.

"The prime minister really expected things like a god, and what was even more admirable was that he had already taken precautions and sent meticulous work to investigate in the Jiaozhou area. The officials of Jiaozhou know everything about it. Nowadays, Zhu Zhi, Zhuge Ke and other talented people have left to look at Wu Nan to help. Jiaozhou is empty, but what is left behind are small and useless mediocre talents. In this way, we will follow the prime minister's plan, but when we heard that Zhu Zhi was defeated, I secretly took it to congratulate. As the prime minister said, the small city of Shi'an, after all, is a border place and cannot be lived for a long time. When I wait to take Linhe, I can advance and retreat, retreat and defend, recover the Shu Han, and make a comeback, just around the corner!! ”

Ma Liang listened, but his expression was quite worried, and he said.

"Although the prime minister has already arranged, but before leaving, there is also a saying that there is no shortage of talented people in the Western Tang Dynasty, if you can hear that we are recruiting the people of Sichuan in Shi'an, there will be movement. I'm only afraid of the Western Tang thieves, and now I'm secretly plotting to start a safe place!! ”

Fa's face tightened, as if he remembered something, and said to Ma Liang.

"Before leaving, the prime minister and I waited for three tips, namely red, blue, and yellow, but whenever we encountered something difficult to do, we opened them in turn. Now that the situation is quite urgent, why don't you take one apart and see it first!? ”

Ma Liang heard Fa Zheng say this, 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 the word 'fast'.

"Quick!? What does this mean, Prime Minister? ”

Fa Zheng frowned, his face sank, and it was difficult to understand for a while. Ma Liang had a flash of inspiration and said quickly.

"Could it be that the prime minister is teaching me to wait and wait for the matter of taking the congratulations quickly?"

"But although this Nie friend is greedy for money, he also promised us to dedicate the city. But according to our previous discussion, it is best to wait for Zhu Zhi to be defeated, so that Nie You thinks that Dongwu is exhausted, so he can take it. We are so anxious, but what if, what if? ”

Fa Zheng groaned, his face full of solemnity. Ma Liang's eyes were calm, and after thinking about it, he still felt that Zhuge Liang was like this, and there must be a reason, so he said in a condensed voice.

"Earlier, the prime minister said that teaching me is equal to a critical moment, and then I will dismantle it. In this way, it is very likely that the prime minister expected that the Western Tang Dynasty had already taken measures, so he taught me to do this as soon as possible, so as not to break the city of Shi'an and regret it. ”

As soon as Ma Liang's words fell, a young general suddenly rushed in, seeing that the young general looked powerful and powerful, and it was also a swallow-jaw ring-eyed with a leopard head, and this young general was Zhang Fei's son Zhang Baoye. But said that although this Zhang Bud is young, but the martial arts are very good, when Chengdu was broken, he protected the old and young in the family, a path straight to kill, no one can stop, many Tang soldiers still think that this son is Zhang Fei, frightened. Later, he was separated from Zhuge Liang and most of the others, but he was extremely witty and hid secretly. At this time, Zhang Bao hurried over and bowed his hand.

"Newspaper!! A certain soldier found that at the pass outside the border, the strength of the Tang thieves suddenly increased a lot, and there were suspected reinforcements!! ”

When Fa Zheng and Ma Liang heard this, their faces suddenly changed greatly, and they said in unison.

"The Tang thief came so quickly!?"

Ma Liang first stabilized his demeanor, and was anxious to talk to the law.

"This has come to this, and there is no more to be neglected. Fortunately, most of the Tang thieves have not arrived, so I will quickly send someone to fetch Linhe, and then place the king there, just in case!! ”

When Fa Zheng heard this, his heart jumped, and he didn't care about thinking too much, so he responded with his head.

What Ji Chang said is reasonable. The king is the unification of Shu and Han, and there is no room for error. Then you shall immediately lead five thousand soldiers and horses, and the two generals of Anbang and Tan, and go with you. I have been guarding Shi'an with my uncle to resist the Tang thieves!! ”

When Ma Liang heard this, his face changed, and he was about to open his mouth. But Fa Zheng said unquestionably.

"Ji Chang don't say much, just make such a decision!!"

Ma Liang's heart was shocked, he sighed, and then surrendered his hand. That night, Zhang Bao led 2,000 soldiers and horses to fetch Linhe as ordered. The next day, Pan Ping led 3,000 soldiers, escorting Ma Liang, Liu Chan and other officials. Flying kites in the city, seeing that the Shu army raised troops repeatedly, they quickly looked for an opportunity to report. When Deng Ai heard this, his face changed, and he secretly slandered.

"Could it be that the Shu people have already made arrangements, and they know that our army is coming to attack, and it may be difficult to defend it, so they will move their positions!?"

After Deng Ai finished thinking about it, he quickly taught people to inform Zhao Yun, and then ordered 3,000 soldiers and horses, and led an army to investigate the truth. Not long after Ma Liang and the others left, Fa Zheng's mind was just settled. Suddenly, the soldiers came in a hurry to report, and Deng Ai, the young Tang thief general, brought 3,000 soldiers and horses. When Fa Zheng heard this, his face changed, he had heard that this Deng Ai was both wise and brave, and even in order to get it, this time he led the army to come, and he must have come to explore the truth and truth. Fa Zheng would not let Deng Ai succeed, and quickly ordered the three armies to make preparations. When he was young, Deng Ai led his troops to the north gate of Shi'an, set up a formation, and shouted loudly.

"Deng Shizai is here!! Who are you waiting for the Shu people to call the shots, come out and answer quickly!! ”

Deng Ai drank sharply, like a thunderbolt exploding, and the Shu soldiers in the city were all afraid, and no one dared to answer.
