The candlelight in the hall flickered and flickered, reflecting everyone's faces for a while and darkening for a while. After Guan Xing made such a fuss, everyone in the audience was full of interest, and they were silent for a while, facing this table full of good wine and good food, it seemed to taste the same as chewing wax.

Jiang Wei knew that Guan Xing was angry in his heart, so he didn't stop him. In fact, he knew that this rapid march for more than ten days had already made Guan Yu's second son suspicious. In the ordinary place of consolation, marching at a normal speed is, as if they were hurrying and hurrying, and where it seems to be going to preach, it is even more like rushing to the front line.

Jiang Wei didn't say anything on the road, and Guan Xing didn't want to ask. It's just that his anxious mood is brewing all the time, accumulating all the way to eight or nine points, and at this moment, he was stimulated by everyone's conversation, and it suddenly burst out.

Jiang Wei is not too worried about Guan Xing, there are some things that should be faced sooner or later, and when he calms down, he will naturally turn around.

Compared with Guan Xing, the confusing Jingxiang battle situation, this is where Jiang Wei's thoughts are affected. He calmed down, carefully contacted Zhan Yan and Chen Feng, combined with his own experience in later generations, and after only a moment of contemplation, he had roughly comprehended the situation at this time.

I'm afraid that in just a few days, Lu Meng has already succeeded in sneaking up on Jiangling and the Second City of Public Security.

Jiangling City is the seat of the county governor of Jingzhou Nanjun and the former general of Guan Yu, and it is the center of Shu Han's rule in Jingzhou. Even if Guan Yu is leading the troops, many official documents have to be transmitted through the operation of Jiangling City. Once this city fell, Shu Han's rule in Jingzhou could be said to be instantly paralyzed. Zigui, as a small county under the rule of Jingzhou South County, could not receive a letter from the county at this time, which is also reasonable.

According to the inference, Guan Yu's defeat will inevitably retreat westward into Yizhou. The fastest way to enter Yizhou from Jingzhou South County is through Yidu, Yiling, Yidao, and Zigui, which is also the route that Liu Bei took to enter Shu that year.

Eastern Wu was eager to capture Guan Yu, in order to cut off Guan Yu's retreat from the west to Shu, at this time should have launched an offensive against Yiling and Yidu, and when the two places fell, the next target of the attack must be Zigui.

And Shu Han has thousands of soldiers stationed in the throat of Zigui, and it is by no means a city that can be taken down overnight. When attacking Yiling and Yidu, Dongwu will inevitably cut off the connection between the two places and Zigui. That's what Zhan Yan said, business travel is forbidden.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wei hammered the case a few times, and felt annoyed in his heart: "Finally, it's still a step too late, I didn't expect that the situation has eroded so far!" ”

But he knew that the more critical the situation, the more important it was to stay calm, so he took a deep breath, and his heart flashed: "I don't know if Jun Hou is under Jiangling City at this moment, or if he has retreated to Maicheng ......"

When everyone saw that his face was gloomy and deep in thought, they didn't dare to disturb him, so they could only sit and hold on.

The hall was speechless, and I don't know how long it took, suddenly a soldier ran quickly outside the hall, knelt down on one knee and said: "Report, someone outside the city knocked on the door!" ”

Zhan Yan was affected by Guan Xing, he was in a bad mood, and frowned: "What time is this, the city gate should have been closed a long time ago, right?" Where did the people come from, why do they not understand the rules so much. ”

The soldier licked his lips and replied, "That man said he was from Gangneung City, and there was an urgent military report!" ”

"From Gangneung?" When Jiang Wei heard this, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly got up and said, "Let's go, go and have a look." ”

Seeing that the envoy had spoken, Zhan Yan was naturally inconvenient to object, so he immediately got up and led everyone towards the city gate.

With a population of only a few thousand, Zigui is a veritable small city. Jiang Wei and his entourage only spent half a cup of tea before they came to the top of the East Gate Tower, looked down, and there was indeed a person standing outside the city gate.

The man was short in stature, tightly wrapped in a dark green cloak, and was pacing from side to side at the moment, anxious as he arose.

Zhan Yan glanced at Jiang Wei and saw that he didn't say anything, so he lowered his voice and shouted: "This official is the county magistrate here, who is under the city?" Why are you here late at night? ”

The man suddenly stopped, looked up and said, "I'm from Jiangling City, I have an important military report, please open the door quickly!" Although this voice was deliberately lowered, everyone could still hear that it was a young woman's voice. Immediately caused a burst of discussion.

Jiang Wei was surprised in his heart, and when he looked at it, the woman's face was covered by the hood on the cloak, and she couldn't see her face clearly.

Seeing that the people at the head of the city did not react, the woman was so anxious that she stamped her feet, and the hem of her cloak turned up and down, revealing a pair of small brown deerskin boots.

Jiang Wei looked around and suddenly said, "I'm waiting for a few big men, can I still be afraid of a weak woman?" Since she claims to be from Gangneung, she might as well let her in and hear the news. ”

Zhan Yan hesitated: "It's just that the city gate has been closed right now......"

Jiang Wei said: "It's okay, you can send someone to find a big basket, tie it with a rope, and carry her up." ”

Zhan Yan thought for a while, and immediately nodded in agreement. At that moment, a soldier was sent to find a basket and a bundle of hemp rope, and according to Jiang Wei's instructions, it slowly hung down from the top of the city.

Jiang Wei held the battlements with his hands, leaned out half of his body, and said in a deep voice: "Girl, you come up on this basket, I have something important to ask you." ”

The woman replied, and when the basket hit the ground, she only bent her knees, and her whole body jumped into the frame lightly and skillfully. Look at her light and agile posture, it is obvious that she has martial arts.

When the soldier slowly pulled the basket to a distance of three feet from the city, the woman leaped lightly and stood still in front of the crowd. Her kung fu was neat and neat, and immediately attracted the applause of the soldiers on the side.

With this jump, she also shook the hood behind her.

Jiang Wei took advantage of the situation to take a look, and saw that the woman was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with two ponytails tied with a green rope on her head, and her face was covered with dirty black mud, and she couldn't see her true face for a long time. Only a pair of apricot eyes are big and round, and the eyes are pitch black, and they are very smart.

After the woman quickly swept around, she walked quickly to Jiang Wei's side and asked urgently, "But the general has the final say?" She saw that Jiang Wei was guarded by everyone, faintly the head of everyone, and Fang had been speaking for her, so she naturally walked to his side to ask.

Jiang Wei didn't answer her, but asked, "You said you came from Jiangling, but you have something important to report?" ”

When the woman heard this, her face was not angry, and she bowed her head and said, "Not bad." I came from Gangneung, and Gangneung City has now been taken by Soochow dog thieves......"

Her words were like thunder on the ground, and the city was suddenly stirred up into an uproar. Since Jiang Wei, everyone has been talking about each other.

"It's... How is this possible?! ”

"The Great Han Dynasty and Eastern Wu are allies!"

"Isn't the little girl unable to distinguish between Wei and Wu?"

Zhan Yan took a step forward, frowned and asked: "This girl, not to mention that Han and Wu are allies, just say that Jiangling City is more than two feet high, and it is heavily guarded, so how can it be easily taken by others?" ”

The woman's eyes were red, and she said hatefully: "It's Mi Fang's dog thief who surrendered the city." ”

Her words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, and many people were stunned in place, dumbfounded, and unable to come back to their senses.

Anger grew in Zhan Yan's heart. This woman who claimed to be from Gangneung first lied that Soochow betrayed the alliance to seize Gangneung, which was already very outrageous; At this time, he said that Mi Fang surrendered the city, and his first reaction was that this lie was too clumsy, and he angrily reprimanded at the moment: "What nonsense! Do you know that Nanjun Taishou Mi Fang is the wife and uncle of the king of Hanzhong? Whoever descends can't be Mi Tai Shou surrender. You... What are your intentions in making alarmist remarks here? ”

The woman was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "You... How can you not know what to do? I am Guan Yinping, the daughter of a former general, who escaped from Gangneung City after hardships this time, so I specially informed the cities along the road of this matter, so as to be prepared. If you don't believe it, I'll tell my uncle from Shu! In a fit of rage, she turned around and wanted to leave.

Zhan Yan stepped forward to stop him and sneered: "You have martial arts, and you are alarmist here, you must be a spy sent by the Wei State!" When you see that you can't fool me and wait, you want to make an excuse to get out, so it's too child's play! Left and right, take it with me! ”

"You! You! Guan Yinping was shocked and angry, Xing Mu Yuan opened his eyes, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak.
