Chapter 90: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

Fangling is a country of houses, its territory is surrounded by mountains and forests, the terrain is steep, coupled with its high humidity and high temperature climate, the people who live in it are prone to fever and illness, so it has the title of "land of miasma" and "place of exile".

From Yaozi Dan Zhu Shun special Fang Ling, then sealed in the room for Yu Bin, is for the house country; In the ninth year of Qin Shi Huang, the Marquis of Changxin was executed for rebellion, and more than 4,000 family members were taken away from the tomb; In the twelfth year of Qin Shi Huang, LΓΌ Buwei, Marquis of Wenxin, was given to death, and more than 10,000 family members were taken away from the tomb; In the nineteenth year of Qin Shi Huang, Qin destroyed the Zhao State, and the King of Zhao surrendered the map and was relocated to the tomb; In the Han Dynasty, there were six nobles, including the concubine of Princess Lu Yuan, the eldest daughter of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Ao, the king of Zhao, and Liu Ming, the king of Jichuan, who were exiled to Fangling.

At this time, Wang Ping, the Yamen general stationed in Fangling County, was extremely depressed as if he had been exiled.

Wang Ping, Zi Zijun, was originally a native of Danqu in Basi County, Yizhou. In September of the twentieth year of Jian'an (215 AD), the seven surnames in the county, King Puhu, Hou Du of Yi, and the people of Yi were attached to Cao Cao. Wang Ping, who was only 24 years old at the time, was moved to Luoyang with Du Hao and Pu Hu, and was later appointed as an acting lieutenant.

Because he was familiar with the geography of Hanzhong, he led a large army with Cao Cao to fight for Hanzhong, but was defeated by Liu Bei. He was already nostalgic for his hometown and homeland, so he surrendered to Liu Bei and was appointed as the general of the Yamen and the general of Pi.

Later, Liu Bei sent Liu Fengshun to the south of Hanshui in Hanzhong to supervise Meng Dahe to take the upper level. Wang Ping went to Shangyong County as Liu Feng's deputy general.

He was illiterate, and he stuttered slightly, which was not very inconspicuous. But he fought bravely and took the lead in battle, so Liu Feng, the deputy general of the army, admired him very much, not only entrusted him with important tasks, but also took him with him at all times.

He thought that he had to meet the Lord, and he wanted to repay him with all his might.

It's just an incident that happened a few days ago that made him completely change his opinion of Major General Liu Feng.

A few days ago, a master named Liao Hua came from Jingzhou, saying that Dongwu took advantage of the former general's Northern Expedition to betray the alliance and sneak attack, secretly took Jiangling City, the former general was defeated and took Maicheng, and the enemy was on his back, and the situation was extremely urgent, and he implored the deputy general to send reinforcements to rescue him.

This Liao master is a loyal and righteous person, and when it comes to emotion, he actually burst into tears and weeps blood.

Guan Yu supervised all affairs in Jingzhou, and the major general Liu Feng also nominally had to listen to him. What's more, the situation is critical at this time, in Wang Ping's opinion, this is a reasonable request. But what he never expected was that the major general refused without hesitation.

He vaguely heard that the young general and Guan Junhou were a little unhappy back then, but in his opinion, if Jingzhou Nanjun was not guaranteed, how could Shangyong survive alone? He can't say words like cold lips and dead teeth, but he knows the simple truth of breaking bones and connecting tendons.

With a heart of loyalty, he also joined in the exhortation.

Unexpectedly, the young general not only didn't listen, but in a fit of anger, he sent him to Fangling as a guard general.

His official position is that of a tooth keeper. The tooth gate general is actually a general who is placed in the fortification tooth gate and serves as a defender. He was originally respected in Liu Feng's army, and his power was only under Liu Feng and his family Kou Xun, but at this moment, he really became a veritable tooth keeper.

Right now, Wang Ping was holding a straw in his mouth, pillowing his head with his hands, and was lying on a haystack in the barracks, thinking to himself.

The sun was setting in the west, and I saw that at dinner time, the smell of food was already wafting from the direction of the room. He rubbed his stomach and jumped down from the high haystack.

"Niangqiu, the sky is big, and the meal is the biggest!"

He was about to take a step when a young man with a beautiful eyebrow suddenly walked in the distance, and a puff of dust rose behind him.

"Brother Zijun! Brother Zijun! You're here! ”

Wang Ping squinted and looked closely, and the person who came was Xiang Pet, the nephew of Xiang Lang, the Taishou of Fangling County, so he smiled and said: "It's Brother Xiang Xian, is there something wrong with me?" ”

Wang Ping came out of the battlefield and had a lot of experience in leading troops. Xiang Pet is very humble and studious, and often asks him for advice, and he likes it very much. Therefore, this back and forth, although it was only a few days, the two became very familiar with each other.

Xiang Pet ran to Wang Ping's side, gasped and said, "The CD is coming, uncle... Uncle is receiving you at the office, and he has sent his younger brother to look for you and invite you to the banquet with you! ”

"What! Have a feast to eat? Wang Ping licked his dry tongue, pulled up his feet and left: "That... So what are you waiting for, don't go quickly! ”

Although Xiang Pet hadn't even caught his breath, he had no choice but to chase after him and said: "Brother Zijun, the younger brother has seen with his own eyes, the mounts under the crotch of this messenger's guards are all tall and mighty, and they are all dressed in fine armor, and they are all black and pressed, so they are so powerful!" ”

"What?" When Wang Ping heard this, he paused to look back, frowned and asked, "It's the cavalry who came?" ”

Xiang Fei Fei said: "Yes! The younger brother had never seen such a majestic and mighty cavalry in his life. ”

"There's... How many centaurs are there? ”

"About 200 riders. Oh, Brother Zijun, don't you know if you go and see for yourself. Xiang Pet said as he pushed Wang Ping forward, and kept talking: "That messenger's surname is Jiang, and he looks very young, but I'm afraid that he is many years younger than his younger brother." Oh yes, Brother Wang, last time you said that you once commanded the cavalry, and another day you should teach the younger brother the method of commanding!"

Wang Ping smiled and didn't answer, and followed in the direction of the office. Years of intuition told him that this matter was not simple, and it was simply a harbinger of a storm.

"It's okay, the land of Shangyong and Fangling is calm on the surface, but it is a ghost in people's hearts, and each has its own plans. It's time to move. It depends on whether this messenger has the ability to do so! ”

Wang Ping followed Xiang Pet all the way and strode close to the office, but saw that the office was full of strange soldiers. These soldiers were tall and imposing, and they all looked at him with cold eyes.

He swept it roughly, and saw that these soldiers were all wearing high-quality armor, and all of them had standard long knives tied around their waists.

Wang Ping worked in Cao Ying back then, and he also saw the world. He knew that this set of equipment cost a lot, and it was absolutely impossible for the elite of a country to wear it. He himself is not worthy of such a set as a goalkeeper.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but be more curious about the envoy named Jiang Wei in the hall.

When he walked into the hall, he saw Taishou Xiang Lang and a young man dressed as a military general sitting as a guest and host, he first gave a military salute to Xiang Lang, and then walked in front of Jiang Wei, hugged his fists and said: "The last general Wang Ping, the word is even, see General Jiang." ”

Jiang Wei didn't take a look at the person at all. He heard footsteps outside the door from afar, and counted the hour, and judged that the tooth keeper should have arrived.

He had been thinking about it for a while, and when the tooth was about to arrive, he casually made a "cup smashing signal", and five hundred knives and axes poured out from under the porch, which would definitely scare people! This scene is very enjoyable just thinking about it.

Taking advantage of the salute, Jiang Weikankan drank all the wine in the cup, and was about to pretend to miss the glass, but at first glance he heard that the visitor reported to his home.

He was stunned, swallowed in his throat, but forgot to swallow, and the wine in his mouth suddenly spurted out. His throat was choked hot, and he coughed violently for a while.

Finally recovered, he raised his eyes and looked at it, his face was full of incredulity: "Wang Ping and Prince Jun? How did he end up here? He... Shouldn't he be under Wei Yan in Hanzhong? ”

In Jiang Wei's impression, Chen Shou's "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" recorded that Wang Ping surrendered to Liu Bei during the Battle of Hanzhong and worshiped the Ya Gate General and General Pi. Then Chen Shou turned his pen and wrote directly about Wang Ping's first Northern Expedition as the deputy general of Ma Tan who joined the army to fight in the street pavilion.

In other words, Wang Ping's early records can be described as blank, and there is no historical data to indicate whether Wang Ping was under Wei Yan's account or Liu Feng's account during this period.

Jiang Wei had always thought that Wang Ping should walk under the tent of Wei Yan in Hanzhong, but after thinking about it, this is not right!

Since he can be Ma Yan's deputy general, he is naturally a general directly under Zhuge Liang, not Wei Yan's general. It must be known that Wang Ping voted for Liu Bei, not Wei Yan.

According to Huaxia's command system, orders are generally issued layer by layer, and few superiors will give orders beyond the level. This practice will be true even when it is passed down to future generations!

What's more, if Wang Ping had always existed as Wei Yan's general, how could Zhuge Liang be so aware of Wang Ping's talent and then appoint him as Ma Yan's deputy general?

Jiang Wei suddenly thought that Liu Feng was in Hanzhong at that time, and took advantage of the rising water level in summer to lead the army south along the water to enter Shangyong. At that time, Wang Ping was also in Hanzhong, and it was entirely possible to follow Liu Feng to the south.

Thinking of this section, he was relieved by Wang Ping's sudden appearance.

He knew that he was out of shape, so he coughed twice and covered up: "I said, why did this glass of wine suddenly become mellow, it turns out that there are heroes!" But he said in his heart: "This small Fangling County is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!" ”
