Chapter 301: The World of Great Controversy (End of the Volume)
Yang Lan is even more angry, the bird slave behaves like this, even if he wins, what glory is there?
I was about to re-release it.
Suddenly, but seeing Jiang Wei's tongue blooming with spring thunder, the three arrows in his hand did not hesitate, like a series of arrows, shot out in three directions.
"Chirpβ"
Almost at the same moment, three sparrows in different directions landed at the same time, all of which were pierced by an arrow, and they fell extremely neatly.
There were two sparrows in the air that were flying north together, but there was still one arrow left in his hand, and it was too late to get more.
Before he could reminisce about the huge exclamation that erupted around him, Jiang Wei took a deep breath and took a few steps northward at great speed, just as the sparrow was about to escape into the darkness, he suddenly opened his bow and arrows, and shot towards the north with a full bow and arrow......
"Chirp-tweet-"
Two sparrows screamed in the air at the same time.
Jiang Wu had already run wildly in the direction where the cry came from, and after a while, his hoarse cheers rang out:
"Kill two birds with one stone! Kill two birds with one stone! β
Kill two birds with one stone!
In front of the main account, Ma Chao looked stunned and laughed: "Do you want to send someone to compare with Brother Zhi?" β
Zhi Wudai let out a long sigh, shook his head and said with a wry smile:
"You Han people really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon...... Ten years ago, you Ma Mengqi crisscrossed the West Sea, and I didn't want to be ten years later, there was another Jiang Boyu who overwhelmed the crowd, and this contest really taught people not to have the slightest idea of resisting. β
Ma Chao heard it and laughed loudly.
In the field, Yang Lan held a soft sword in her hand, her apricot eyes were shining, staring at Jiang Wei motionlessly, and muttered:
"So your archery skills are so ......"
Jiang Wei excused himself:
"Before the competition, it was stipulated that each side would shoot four arrows, and you and I would each shoot four arrows, and this game should be a draw. It's just a little more lucky, and I don't deserve it......"
Yang Lan shook her head, handed the soft sword to Jiang Wei's hand, and turned around to leave.
"Yang Guniang, stay for the time being!"
After Jiang Wei finished speaking, he hurriedly ran to the blanket where the color head was placed, bent down and took out the white rainbow sword from it, returned to Yang Lan, and said with a smile:
"This situation is evenly matched, since you have given me such a strange sword, I will give it back with a sword, I hope you will accept it with a smile. There are still important matters to discuss with the alliance leader, so I will leave, please! β
With that, he gave a salute with his fists and walked away.
As he passed by, he suddenly chuckled and said, "Thank you for today." β
"Thank you...... Thank me for what ......"
Yang Lan was puzzled for a while, and was about to ask a question, but the Han boy had already turned his bright smiling face and left, and his slender and sturdy figure gradually faded away, quietly disappearing into the darkness.
She held the white rainbow sword in her hand and gently rubbed the scabbard with her face, and she was stupid for a while.

The next day, Zhi Wudai finally invited Ma Chao, Jiang Wei, and Mi Wei to formally negotiate the purchase of horses by the King of Hanzhong.
Thanks to Jiang Wei's strong performance in the past few days, Zhi Wudai did not open his mouth, but marked the price from a win-win perspective.
After some discussion, the two sides finally settled on the price of Yizhou to exchange two fine silk for one fine war horse, and three medium silk for one medium war horse.
Considering that Xihaiqiang had enough horses left for protection and breeding, Zhi Wudai promised to send 5,000 adult horses in the spring of the following year, and thereafter supply Yizhou with 3,000 horses every year.
The location of the transaction was chosen in Wudu Rongchang. It is far away from the West Sea, but at that time, the Xiqiang caravan can also choose the Han goods they like, if the scarce Han goods can be transferred to the Western Regions for sale, it can add a lot of wealth.
For Zhi Wudai, Wudu Rongchang can be called an unexpected joy, and he immediately didn't have the heart to agree.
When Ma Jun's improved silk loom is being popularized on a large scale in Yizhou, the output of Shu brocade will increase steadily year by year, if the extra Shu brocade is exchanged for the strategic material of war horses, it can not only increase the burden of the imperial court, but also activate the Wudu field, Jiang Wei, who initiated this matter, is even more happy to see it.
Therefore, after this meeting, the two sides changed from the open and covert battles of the previous few days to a happy and happy place, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
Jiang Wei took advantage of the situation and proposed to ask Zhi Wudai to accept the canonization of the king of Hanzhong.
Regarding this point, Zhi Wudai just smiled and did not give a clear answer, but instead set up banquets every day and entertained them every night.
Jiang Wei had a plan, knowing that when the time came, Zhi Wudai would definitely accept this invitation, so he relieved himself and continued to be a guest.
He and Qianghu Haojie sometimes compete in martial arts, sometimes fight wine for fun, but more than ten days of kung fu, Qianghu chiefs and heroes are familiar with him, and he is full of praise for his character and martial arts, words and deeds, almost regard him as the second general of Shenweitian.
On the twentieth day and night, everyone did not care about the day that had long since ended, but still sang with wine, shouting and drinking.
On this day and night, when the wine was in full swing, a dusty Qiang man rushed into the tent and said hurriedly:
"Report to the alliance master! Hexi Urgent! β
Zhi Wudai frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" Hurry up! β
When everyone heard this, they all put down their wine glasses and looked at the Qiang man who had given the order.
The Qiang man couldn't take any breath, and hurriedly replied:
"Cao Zhen, the governor of Wei, led an army of 30,000 to the west, killing Zhang Jin of Zhangye, forcing Huang Hua of Jiuquan to surrender, and slaughtering three Hu tribes in Wuwei County in one fell swoop...... At present, all the counties in Hexi have been pacified by him! β
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud noise in the tent.
Although Cao Wei never nominally occupied the four counties of Hexi, due to years of war, he was unable to send troops to the west, so most of the four counties of Hexi were divided by wealthy families, and they were more autonomous than the imperial court.
The Qianghu people in the four counties of Hexi and Xihai in the miscellaneous drama went through more than two Han strikes, and most of their power faded until the princes rose up and the Han people fought more than once, and they ushered in the opportunity to recuperate.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and this time Cao Zhen successfully broke the power of the wealthy clans in the counties, which means that they will usher in a strong neighbor to move in.
What it means to be an iron-blooded neighbor, the head of Zhuqiang Hu knows it.
Zhi Wudai's face turned pale, and he continued to ask, "Do you know where Cao Wei's army is now?" β
The messenger replied: "The Wei army's vanguard has arrived in Lushui and Fengbo. β
Yijian's concubine was shocked when she heard this, and got up and said:
"It is rumored that this Cao Zhen has always been ruthless in dealing with foreign races...... The leader of the alliance, the villain is the patriarch of the Lu Shuihu people, and he has been away from the tribe for a long time, so it is time to go back to preside over the overall situation! β
With that, he hurriedly bowed and turned to leave.
Bei He, the patriarch of the rewarding Hu tribe, also stood up and said:
"Alliance leader, the reward tribe is suffering, and the villain is going back to prepare to deal with it!"
After speaking, he immediately turned around and followed the footsteps of the prostitute Yijian, and quickly left the tent.
Looking at the slowly falling curtains, Jiang Wei knew in his heart that these two people were afraid that they would never return.
This was the first battle of Hexi launched by Cao Zhen, which ended with the Cao Wei court defeating the local Han Hao clan forces and regaining the control of the four counties in Hexi.
Soon after, Cao Pi took this opportunity to quickly usurp the throne and register.
Moreover, according to historical records, Cao Zhen would also launch the Second Battle of Hexi the following year, mainly to suppress the rebellious Hu people.
He led his troops to defeat the Lu Shui Hu people and rewarded the Hu people, and Zhi Yuanduo was also killed in this battle.
In the service, Cao Zhen beheaded more than 50,000 people, obtained 100,000 mouths, 1.11 million sheep, 80,000 cattle, and Liangzhou was completely wiped out.
When Cao Pi heard the news, he was overjoyed and laughed at his ministers:
"My strategy is within the curtain, and the generals are fighting thousands of miles away, and their corresponding measures are in accordance with the festival. Before and after the war was captured, there was no such thing. β
From then on, Cao Wei began to firmly control Liangzhou, and even restarted the Central Plains and the Western Regions, which had been cut off for decades.
"Our Hanzhong development and Pingqiang trip is about to come to a successful end, I don't want Cao Wei to accumulate a lot of money, not to be left behind......"
Jiang Wei lightly deducted the case and fell into deep thought.
At this time, Zhi Wudai suddenly got up and said:
"I am about to bother Brother Ma and Brother Jiang to return to the king of Hanzhong, I am willing to accept the canonization of the king, and I am willing to serve the king for the work of dogs and horses!"
******
In a few days, the news of Cao Zhen's army crushing the realm spread like wings, and all the tribes of the West Sea fell into anxiety and busyness.
Seeing this, Ma Chao and Jiang Wei proposed to Zhi Wudai to resign. After a few more days, Ma Chao finally decided to leave for his hometown on October 25, five days later.
For Ma Chao, Jiang Wei, and Mi Wei, this trip not only succeeded in obtaining war horses, but also borrowed the prestige of Cao Zhen's westward expedition and successfully won the Zhiwu Dai to take refuge in Yizhou, so they were in a good mood.
Mi Wei also laughed at one point: "Far friends and close attacks, the ancients will not deceive me!" β
On the afternoon of the fourth day, everyone began to pack their belongings and prepare to leave tomorrow.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded from afar, and a horse swept quickly.
Everyone raised their eyes, but it was the figure of a Han general, from far to near, getting closer and closer.
Mi Wei's eyes were sharp, he rubbed his eyes and exclaimed:
"I'm not looking bad, am I...... It's Zhao Tong's kid! β
waited for a while, and after a while, Zhao Tong had already rushed to everyone.
I saw him fly off the horse, hugged Jiang Wei, and kept licking his dry lips while gasping.
"I've walked several tribes in a row, but I can be considered to have found you!"
Jiang Wei patted him on the back, and asked Jiang Wu to hand him a bowl of water and told him to drink it, and then asked in a deep voice, "What happened, you need to run in person?" β
Zhao Tong couldn't drink water, hugged Jiang Wei and cried: "Boyo...... The sky fell...... Cao Pi he... He killed the king and usurped the throne! β
"What!"
Ma Chao heard this, his eyes widened angrily, he corrected Zhao Tong's collar, and asked, "Do you say it again?" β
Zhao Tong raised his sleeves to wipe away his tears, and said in a dumb voice: "There is news from Guanzhong that Cao Pina has killed the Han Emperor and established himself as the Emperor of Wei!" The military advisor was worried that there would be changes in Yizhou and that the lord would not be able to support it alone, so he sent me to expedite the message...... He asked General Zuo to return to Zhenwudu as soon as possible, beware of Wei taking advantage of the chaos to sneak attack, and asked Bo to ask you to return to Zhenshu as soon as possible to discuss the plan! β
Ma Chao gritted his teeth and said: "Cao Pi is a chaotic minister and thief, everyone will be punished!" β
Jiang Wei knew the trend of history early, and his reaction was obviously much calmer.
He knew that the next thing was for Liu Bei to fight wits and courage with all forces and ascend the throne as Emperor Han.
The situation is extremely urgent, thinking that Yizhou at this time has become a mess, and Zhuge Liang should be on the way back.
"In the world of turmoil and great strife, how can there be no capable people around the lord? It's almost time to go back and do your part for Dahan! β
Jiang Wei thought of this, and just urged Jiang Wu to hurry up and clean up.
Mi Wei was about to lead Zhao Tong to rest for a while, but Zhao Tong hesitated for a moment, but still paused:
"There is one more thing I need to know, Beryo...... Letter from Shuzhong, Zhang Bao ...... He's critically ill! β
"What!"
When Jiang Wei heard this, he was stunned as if he had been electrocuted.
In his spare time, he also thought about it carefully, Zhang Bao and Guan Xing, who married Jin Lan with him, both died young in history.
Among them, Guan Xing was sneered at by his fellow officials from Jingzhou after Guan Yu lost Jingzhou, and died depressed.
He thought to himself that with his own birth, Guan Yu washed away the humiliation, and also exchanged a smooth road for future generations, Guan Xingdang had lost the possibility of early death.
But Zhang Bao is like a cow on weekdays, and his father Zhang Fei is holding the door, so it is impossible for him to be excluded by others, nor can he be secretly poisoned, how can he suddenly become critically ill?
Could it be that there is really a providence in the dark?
In the end, it was a brotherhood, Jiang Wei only felt anxious, and he couldn't care about anything else, so he whistled in exchange for Xiaobai, turned over on his horse, and galloped at great speed.
In a short time, a man and a horse were galloping away, and only a shout was heard in the distance.
"I'll go first, you pack up and hurry back!"
