Liu Bei obviously cared very much about his reputation, and as soon as Jiang Wei offered a good plan, he sent the envoy of Wuxi Man to the Wudang army the next day.

Jiang Wei helped the sand sculpture up and said with relief: "General Sha and General Sha are also old acquaintances, and there is no reason to see death and not save them." It's just that the road to Jingzhou is blocked by Eastern Wu, and it is really difficult for our soldiers to reach Wuling...... However, there is indeed a plan to avoid the catastrophe of the people of the clan, but it is ...... If you want to achieve it, I am afraid that it is not very dangerous. ”

However, it was said that Wuxi Man had already been forced by Eastern Wu to be ruthless, and the extermination of the clan was a matter of time. When the sand sculpture heard this, it was as if a drowning man had grabbed a straw, and hurriedly said: "Please also ask the general to tell me bluntly, as long as you can give the clansmen a way to live, even if there are thousands of difficulties and dangers, the king of my family will definitely be grateful for the general's kindness!" ”

Jiang Wei nodded and said, "This is not the place to speak, please enter the envoy into the account." After saying that, he instructed a herald, "General Ma is in the tent." ”

After a short time, Ma Zhong entered the tent to meet him.

Jiang Wei led the sand sculpture to introduce Ma Zhong, and carefully retold the dilemma faced by the Wuxi barbarians, and then said to Ma Zhong: "I accompanied you to the sand sculpture brothers and sent an envoy to Wuling County, I don't know if you are willing?" ”

Although this trip will pass through the territory of Dongwu and the itinerary is very dangerous, Ma Zhong said angrily: "For the sake of the country, I am willing to receive this life!" ”

"Good!" Jiang Wei nodded with satisfaction.

Ma Zhong in history was generous and measured, and his wrath was invisible, but he was able to deal with things and stand side by side, so the barbarians were very in awe and love him.

Although this mission is like a fire, it is a very crucial link in pacifying Nanzhong. Looking at the generals under him, only Ma Zhong can let him rest assured.

That night, Jiang Wei laid out the plan and the plan. After the entrustment was completed, Ma Zhong and Sha Sculpture bid farewell to Jiang Wei and set off quietly overnight.

******

Early the next morning, the sky was just dawning, and the smoke curled in the barracks, and the soldiers had already gotten up to eat. Because many people were going out for the first time, the atmosphere was a little tense, and no one dared to speak loudly, and everyone ate their food in silence.

In the main account, Jiang Wei put on his armor, took the breakfast food handed over by Jiang Wen, and began to eat it in a big gulp.

He has always shared weal and woe with the soldiers in the army, never opened a small stove, and he ate whatever the soldiers ate, and the generals followed suit.

Today's breakfast is two kombu rice balls, which is what I am used to eating on weekdays. But Jiang Wei ate it in one bite, only to feel that today's rice balls are very different from the past - both the fresh and sweet flavor of pickled plum prunes, and the fragrant and mellow aroma of flax. This made him open his index fingers, and he ate the two rice balls in one go.

After the meal, the soldiers, under the leadership of the generals, began to arrange silently.

Today, due to the addition of the craftsman battalion, the queue, which had already been trained well, was quite chaotic, which caused Zhang Wei to jump like thunder for a while. It took half an hour for the whole army to rank the marching army.

When the sun leaps out of the clouds in the east, the heavens and the earth are reflected red. Jiang Wei saw that the time was almost up, so he gave the order to pull out. The army immediately charioted and stumbled, pulling like a long snake winding south.

This trip was led by Zhang Wei, who reprimanded the road ahead, opened the road in the mountains, and built bridges in the water; Huo Yi led the ambulance battalion and the craftsman battalion, and was in charge of the army's materials; After Zhao Guang's pressure was broken; Jiang Wei sits in the Chinese army, and the generals have a clear division of labor and perform their own duties.

According to the established route, the army set out from Chengdu and walked along the Minjiang River for two days, then passed through Renshou County, where the army would be slightly replenished.

Kankan walked out of the half-day scene, and suddenly saw the smoke and dust billowing behind the army, followed by the sound of thunderous and rapid horses' hooves, and a few horsemen approached at a rapid speed in the distance.

At this time, the army was still in Shu County, and Zhao Guang, who was in the formation, did not warn, obviously the people who came were friends and not enemies, Jiang Wei expected that the people who came must be coming at him, so he ordered the army to march as before, and he himself stopped and watched.

The sound of horses' hooves approached, and after a while, two tall figures flashed out of the smoke and dust, Jiang Wei looked closely, and found that the person who came was the righteous brothers Zhang Bao and Guan Xing.

At first glance, he was pleasantly surprised when he saw his brother's traces, and immediately clamped the horse's belly and hurriedly rode his horse forward to meet the general.

"Two brothers, how did you get here?" When the two groups of people approached, Jiang Wei was surprised and delighted, and clenched his fists tightly.

As soon as he approached, Zhang Bao had a black face and threw a punch that slammed into his right shoulder socket. Jiang Wei was caught off guard and was almost knocked off his horse.

But seeing Zhang Bao, he said angrily: "Okay, you Jiang Boyo!" I knew that I was going to send troops south, but I only sent a small servant to inform me last night! I can't imagine that between you and my brothers, we are so separated! ”

The more he talked, the more angry he became, and he wanted to fight again, but Guan Xing on the side hurriedly grabbed him, turned around and reprimanded: "Boyo, you have to remember the lesson of the eldest brother, if it weren't for the family to send a message, I wouldn't know that you were going south!" This move is also chilling! ”

Jiang Wei's shoulder socket was like a pain in his heart, but he had to smile bitterly, and he couldn't even refute a sentence.

Zhang, Guan, and Jiang all live in Jinli Jing Lane, which is only a stone's throw away. On that day, he said goodbye to Zhang Xingcai, but there was always an obstacle in his heart, and he couldn't help but see things and think about people, so he stayed in the army on weekdays and rarely went home.

And the matter of the southern expedition was sudden, and there was not much time for him to prepare, so when the matter came, he only sent a little servant home to the two brothers, which was regarded as informing.

But in the eyes of Zhang Bao and Guan Xing, Jiang Weiping was busy training the new army, and they also had to lead the army of the Son of Heaven, and their official affairs were getting busier and busier.

But even so, the two of them still couldn't figure it out, why was the Southern Expedition such a big event, Jiang Wei actually only sent a small servant to pass it on to say hello? Isn't this brotherly love the extreme?

Although the two brothers looked angry on their faces, for some reason, a trace of warmth suddenly surged in Jiang Wei's heart, after all, there are still many people in this world who are concerned about him from the bottom of their hearts.

He sighed, bowed down and hugged his fists and said: "It's true that he is a younger brother, the elder brother can beat and scold, and the younger brother has no words." ”

After that, he turned over and dismounted, closed his eyes and stood quietly, looking like he was at his disposal.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Bao was no longer easy to start. But seeing that he was holding back his anger, his face turned black and red, and he angrily took out a bag of wine from the horse bag, threw it into Jiang Wei's hand, and said in an urn voice: "Take a sip!" ”

Jiang Weiyi took a sip.

Zhang Bao suddenly reached out and grabbed it again, took a sip of it by himself, and then spilled the wine on the ground with the mouth of the bag facing down.

"Humph!"

After doing this, Zhang Bao glared at Jiang Wei fiercely, snorted coldly, turned around and patted the horse and left.

"Big brother chased after him for a long time, and he was just for this attack?"

Jiang Weida was puzzled, and couldn't help but look sideways at Guan Xing, who shook his head with a wry smile.
