Chapter 179: The Gangneung Incident

Wheat City can't hold it! Before Guan Yu arrived in Maicheng, he had considered his own way out on the ship. The fiasco of Queweipo made him lose all the capital to fight with the Han army, and if he wanted to make a comeback, he could only resist the Han army by transferring troops from Jingnan after returning to Jiangling. Therefore, after arriving at Maicheng to join Zhao Lei, Guan Yu almost did not make any stops, and directly led Zhao Lei and the 3,000 defenders of Maicheng to the south to rush to Jiangling, intending to regroup in Jiangling.

At this time, in Jiangling City, there is also a dark tide, whether Guan Yu can rush back to Jiangling in time, it is still two words. The news of Guan Yu's defeat had reached Jiangling, and the people who were originally full of confidence in Guan Yu had become somewhat panicked at this time. In their eyes, the invincible Guan Yu was defeated, so how could they resist the attack of the Han army.

Everyone is afraid of death, and there are few who can really sacrifice their lives for righteousness. Under the direct threat of the Han army, the hearts of the people in Jiangling City fluctuated, and many people began to seek a way back, that is, in this environment, Mi Zhu's move to see Wei Yan and Hu Che'er was not noticed.

Hu Che'er and Wei Yan didn't believe Mi Zhu's surrender at first, but after Xu Shu met the two secretly, the two had to believe it. Compared with waiting for rescue and self-rescue, Hu Che'er and Wei Yan naturally chose the latter. What's more, Xu Shu was deeply trusted by Liu Xie, and assisting him in capturing Jiangling could also save a little of the face lost by being captured by the enemy.

With the help of Hu Che'er and Wei Yan, Mi Zhu and the others' plan to seize Jiangling City was basically perfected, and the remaining problem was to solve the 3,000 men and horses under Fu Shiren. As long as there are no 3,000 men in the way, convincing the magnates in the city to abandon Liu Bei and join the imperial court, Mi Zhu is confident that he can do it.

……

Fu Shiren has been having a very good time recently, since he followed Liu Bei, he has never enjoyed such treatment, hugging in front and back, surrounded by beauties, so that Fu Shiren does not know where he is. If he didn't go on a campaign overnight, his iron body and bones couldn't stand it, Fu Shiren wanted to rest and rest for the past two days, so he left the "resident" Drunken Moon Pavilion these days.

On the way back to his residence, Fu Shiren suddenly remembered that he had a special mission in Jiangling, and hurriedly changed his route to the target's residence to see if there was anything abnormal. As a result, when he arrived outside Mizhu's mansion, he found that the front of Mizhu's mansion, which was usually not walked around, was full of people.

"Hey, what's going on?" Fu Shiren pulled a passer-by to watch the excitement and asked.

Passers-by didn't want to pay attention to this impolite person, but when they saw that the other party was wearing the clothes of a general, they had the idea of not causing trouble, and replied patiently: "I heard that Mi Zhu's sister went home to save her relatives." ”

"A woman goes home to save her family, as for putting on such a big show?" Fu Shiren asked with some puzzlement when he heard this.

"I heard that Mi Zhu's sister is as beautiful as a fairy, this is not much better than the world's first beauty Diao Chan in the past, otherwise how would it attract so many onlookers."

"Really?"

"Who knows? Anyway, I didn't see the real person, so I'm waiting to see it. ”

Fu Shiren originally saw that there were many people at Mi Zhu's house, so he planned to come back at another time, but after hearing that Mi Zhu's sister was as beautiful as a fairy on the road, her feet stood still, and she stood in the crowd like many people ready to take a look.

"It's coming, it's coming." After waiting for about half a burnt of incense, I heard someone shouting in the crowd. Fu Shiren looked in the direction everyone was looking, and saw several carriages slowly coming under the escort of the Mifu family. The carriage stopped at the gate of Mifu, the door opened, and a woman with a graceful figure and a thin veil stepped out of the carriage.

"Hmm...... It's unclear what it looks like, but it's a seductive figure. Fu Shiren touched his chin and thought to himself. Fu Shiren can be regarded as the master who has eaten and seen it now, and he has basically deduced the figure of the Mi family woman based on visual inspection alone, if this looks good, it is really a stunner.

It is not easy for others to see Mi Zhen's face, and Mi Zhen wears a thin veil on her face to mean that she doesn't want to be seen by others. But if Fu Shiren wants to see Mi Zhen's face, it is not difficult. After all, he is now the highest military attache in Jiangling City, and he can use official business as an excuse to enter Mi Mansion to find Mi Zhu. However, if you want to see Mi Zhen, you must hurry up, men and women are not kissed, if you come to visit again another day, Mi Zhu will not let Fu Shiren see Mi Zhen nine times out of ten.

In order to see the true face of the beauty, Fu Shiren squeezed out the crowd and prepared to visit. Coincidentally, just when Fu Shiren squeezed out of the crowd and approached the gate of Mi Mansion, a gust of wind suddenly blew and lifted the veil on Mi Zhen's face, and the angle happened to make Fu Shiren see Mi Zhen's true face.

The most unforgettable touch. Fu Shiren suddenly seemed to be electrocuted, Mi Zhen's eyes were already bright, and with exquisite facial features, her appearance was perfect. Fu Shiren just stood there dumbfounded, watching Mi Zhen enter Mi Mansion, refusing to leave for a long time.

Knowing that Fu Shiren was outside the mansion, as the head of the Mi family, Mi Zhu naturally did not want to turn people away. He was polite and invited Fu Shiren into the mansion for a while, but he didn't want Fu Shiren to be polite at all, and after getting Mi Zhu's invitation, he entered Mi Mansion without hesitation, just if he wanted to see Mi Zhen again, it would not be easy.

Fu Shiren was originally a rough person, and after accompanying Mi Zhu to talk for a while, he went straight to the topic, "Mr. Mi, I don't know why the house is so lively today?" ”

"Ah, my sister went home today to save her relatives, calculate the time, my sister and I haven't seen each other for several years." Mi Zhu replied casually.

"Can you please let Sister Ling come out and see her?"

Mi Zhu's face sank when he heard this, and he looked at Fu Shiren unkindly. And Fu Shiren also realized that what he said was unreasonable, why do you want to see you, sister-in-law?

Without waiting for Fu Shiren to want a reasonable explanation, Mi Zhu had already said with a cold face: "The sister is tired from the journey, it is not suitable to see guests at this time, if General Fu has nothing else, then please go back." ”

was ordered to evict the guests by Mi Zhu, and Fu Shiren had to get up and say goodbye in a gloomy manner. As soon as he left Mifu, he met Fu Wei, the deputy general who came to look for him. For Fu Wei, Fu Shiren is not good-looking. Don't look at the fact that both of them have the surname Fu, but they are not related at all. Fu Wei was a military general recruited by Liu Bei after he arrived in Jingzhou, and his ability was more than one step higher than Fu Shiren. However, Fu Wei is upright, and Fu Wei has advised Fu Shiren many times about leaving the camp and not returning all night. It's just that Fu Shiren realized that he was the old man next to Liu Bei, and Fu Wei "accused" himself many times as a newcomer, without saving face for himself, which made Fu Shiren very unhappy.

If you are not afraid of god-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like teammates. Although Fu Wei's ability is stronger than Fu Shiren, because he is still young, he was assigned by Liu Bei to serve as Fu Shiren's assistant this time. And Fu Shiren, as Fu Wei's direct superior, it is not too easy to put on small shoes for Fu Wei, there are 3,000 people in Jiangling City, but if there is no warrant from Fu Shiren, Fu Wei will not be able to mobilize a person.

"What's the matter?" Fu Shiren asked Fu Wei expressionlessly.

"General, the lord sent a messenger, and he is waiting for the general in the army at this time." Fu Wei also knew that Fu Shiren didn't want to see him, but the official level crushed people to death, and he could only report patiently.

As soon as he heard that the envoy sent by the lord, Fu Shiren immediately became anxious, and he no longer had the heart to find Fu Wei's stubble, so he hurried back to the barracks. Fu Shiren, the messenger who came, didn't know him, but the person who came with the lord's seal was naturally not pretending, I'm afraid it was newly received after the lord entered Shu, right?

"This gentleman's surname is noble, the last general Fu Shiren, he is just patrolling the city, and he has neglected Mr." Fu Shiren saluted and asked, explaining by the way why he was not in the army.

"General Fu doesn't have to be polite, in Xia Yang Hong, the new lord is not long ago, and he was ordered to come to Jiangling this time, just to remind the general to guard Jiangling and prepare to receive General Guan."

"Mr. Yang rest assured, this is a matter within Fu's part, and he dares not to do his best. However, the matter of grain and grass needs Mi Zhu to nod, and asked Mr. Yang to go to Mi Mansion with me to explain the situation. ”

"Well, that's right. So here we go? ”

"Uh...... Let's do that another day. Today, Mi Zhu's sister went home, and Mi Zhu was afraid that she had no intention of handling official business. Fu Shiren thought about it and explained to Yang Hong.

“…… Well, how about going tomorrow? Yang Hong is not unkind, anyway, what he wants to do is not something that can be done in a day or two, and a day late will not affect the overall situation, and when he first arrived, Yang Hong was not aggressive, so he agreed to Fu Shiren's suggestion.

Fu Shiren asked Fu Wei to arrange Yang Hong's residence, and he returned to the room to recall that he had seen Mi Zhen in front of Mi Mansion today, and when it was close to evening, Fu Shiren was hungry, so he remembered that he hadn't eaten yet.

"General, Mifu sent an invitation to invite the general to come over for a banquet." Someone came with an invitation card to report to Fu Shiren. Fu Shiren almost jumped up on the spot with joy, and was worried about what excuse he was looking for to go to Mifu again, but he didn't expect Mifu to send someone to send an invitation. Since it is today's banquet, it must be related to Mi Zhen's homecoming, and if she goes, she will definitely be able to see Mi Zhen at the banquet.

Fu Shiren is in his early thirties this year and has not married yet, but when he saw Mi Zhen today, Fu Shiren, an old bachelor, suddenly felt that his spring had come. In order to leave a good impression on Mi Zhen, Fu Shiren dressed up well. Take a shower first, and then change into the best clothes, but as soon as I went out, I saw that Fu Wei was already waiting there.

"Fu Wei, what are you doing here?"

"General, Mr. Mi sent someone to invite, and the last general thought that the general would also be invited, so he came to ask the general for a warrant and be responsible for the defense of Jiangling City tonight."

"Huh? …… No need, come with me. Fu Shiren glanced at Fu Wei, and suddenly found that Fu Wei looked a little sloppy because of a day of traveling. Just needed a green leaf to set off his red flower, so he said to Fu Wei.

"Huh? General, how can the head of the city be unmanned? Fu Wei asked in surprise.

"It's okay if you don't go for a day, General Guan hasn't come back yet, how can the Han army appear. Fu Wei, Ben will always want to have a good relationship with you, don't be ignorant. ”

“…… Then can you let the end go and prepare, at least change your clothes and wash your face. ”

"Time waits for no one, it's not good to go late, just like that." When Fu Shiren heard this, he immediately shook his head like a rattle. Joke! Lao Tzu took you there to set off the spirit of Lao Tzu, if you make it more spiritual than Lao Tzu, then what will Lao Tzu take you to?

Almost involuntarily, Fu Shiren ignored Fu Wei's opinion and went directly to Mifu. After all, Fu Wei was still worried about the city defense, and made up his mind to leave after seeing Mi Zhu's explanation.

When he arrived at Mi Mansion, Fu Shiren took Fu Wei to meet Mi Zhu, and when he saw Fu Wei being sloppy, Mi Zhu couldn't help laughing and said: "Why is General Fu so embarrassed?" Come on, take General Fu down to wash up. ”

Fu Wei couldn't ask for it, so he confessed to Mi Zhu, and followed the people of Mi Mansion to wash in the side hall, while Fu Shiren sat patiently in the flower hall and waited for Mi Mansion to have a banquet. After waiting for about a stick of incense, the guests invited to Mifu arrived one after another, Fu Shiren was busy entertaining, so naturally he didn't care about Fu Wei who never came back.

At this time, Fu Wei had already asked someone to tie the rope and tie it up in the firewood room of Mi Mansion. When Fu Wei was taken to wash by the people of Mi Mansion, Fu Wei was still grateful, but when he arrived at the place, when Fu Wei took off his clothes and was about to enter the bathtub, the door suddenly broke open, followed by several big men who rushed up and pressed the naked Fu Wei to the ground.

Fu Wei was shocked and scared, what is the situation? I wanted to ask questions, but my mouth had been blocked with a sackcloth, and I could only look at those ill-intentioned gangsters with horror and fear.

"Oops~ I'm good to take a blanket and wrap people in it." A person walked in outside the door, and when he saw Fu Wei's image at this time, he couldn't help but smile.

"Woo...... Woo woo...... "Fu Wei couldn't help but let out a sound when he saw someone coming, wanting to make people tear off the sackcloth in his mouth.

"Huh...... Don't be afraid, no one is interested in your ass. Hu Che'er said and took the blanket handed by others to wrap Fu Wei in it, "I said listen, my name is Hu Che'er, I am a general of the Han army, I called you prisoners before, and I was imprisoned in Jiangling." I know you must be curious why I'm here, and not in prison. In fact, it is very simple, Liu Bei's general trend has gone, Mi Zhu decided to take refuge in the imperial court, and I, a person from the imperial court, naturally got free. The purpose of arresting you is to control the 3,000 men and horses in Gangneung City, and as long as we don't have those 3,000 people, it will be easy for us to control Gangneung City. ”

"General, I found it." When Hu Che'er explained to Fu Wei, someone found half a tiger talisman from Fu Wei's clothes.

"Okay, go and hand it over to Mr. Xu." Hu Che'er took it and took a look at it, and ordered his subordinates.

Watching the person take away half of the tiger talisman, Fu Wei couldn't help but be anxious. If you want to mobilize the three thousand people in the city, you must have yourself and the tiger talisman in Fu Shiren's hand. Tonight's banquet in Mifu is obviously a Hongmen banquet, and as far as Fu Shiren's piece of material is concerned, I am afraid that he will not be able to keep the half of the tiger talisman in his hand.

"Woo...... "Fu Wei wanted to shout loudly, at least to attract the attention of the guests who were waiting for the banquet in the Mifu Flower Hall, but his mouth was blocked, and all he could shout was an unknown single sound.......

"Don't waste your efforts, tired or not? What do you think people think? Obviously have the ability to serve the court, but you want to be an anti-thief, even if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about your family, isn't the reputation of an anti-thief's family good? ”

Fu Wei glared at Hu Che'er angrily, if he hadn't blocked his mouth, he would definitely refute Hu Che'er, but now, he only had to listen. And Hu Che'er didn't seem to see Fu Wei's mouth blocked, and he couldn't refute himself, and after counting Fu Wei's pass, he ordered his subordinates to carry Fu Wei to the firewood room and let people take strict care.

In the Mifu Flower Hall, Mi Zhu saw that the invited guests had arrived, so he ordered a banquet. As Fu Shiren guessed, Mi Zhu's reason for inviting guests was to celebrate the reunion of brother and sister. And after seeing Mi Zhen who had removed the veil, Fu Shiren suddenly lost his mind, and Mi Zhu didn't listen to Mi Zhu's next words at all, just looked at Mi Zhen blankly.

It wasn't until Mi Zhen returned to the back house and couldn't see it anymore that Fu Shiren retracted his mind, but suddenly found that the atmosphere in the flower hall seemed to be a little wrong. I don't know what Mi Zhu said to everyone, many people are peeking at themselves intentionally or unintentionally, and several strong men with sharp blades are coming straight to him.

Blade in hand! Fu Shiren finally came to his senses when he saw the bright big blade, and suddenly stood up and asked Mi Zhu: "Mi Zizhong, what are you going to do?" ”

"Without him, I want to borrow the general's tiger talisman for use." Mi Zhu said coldly. For Fu Shiren, Mi Zhu is an indescribable disgust, especially after seeing Fu Shiren's eyes just looking at his sister, he can't wait to dig out Fu Shiren's pair of thief eyes and throw them on the ground as bubbles.

Fu Shiren wanted to resist, but when he entered Mi Mansion, the blade he carried with him had been handed over to the gatehouse, and he was unarmed at this time. What's more, Fu Shiren has been living a drunken life these days, and his body has already been almost drunk with wine. didn't resist a few times, and was cut to the ground by Wei Yan and others.

The tiger talisman was found from Fu Shiren's body, Wei Yan nodded at Mi Zhu, and then led people out of the flower hall. As for Fu Shiren's body, someone came to pick it up and carry it away. It's just that the bloody scene has frightened the guests who came to Mifu for a banquet tonight, these people are all children of the big clan in Jiangling, and they are pampered on weekdays, how could they have seen the scene of blood bursting out when someone's head was cut off so closely.

"You don't need to panic." As the host of tonight's banquet, Mi Zhu opened his mouth to everyone: "I have already said that the imperial army will arrive in Jiangling in a few days, although Guan Yu is brave, but he has been defeated, if he wants to retake Jingbei, he can only return to Jingnan to have a chance." But even if Guan Yu returned to Jingnan, he was probably powerless about this Jiangling. Gangneung will be occupied by the imperial court, and when that time comes, where will you go? I don't think I need to say much about how to choose. ”

Fu Shiren's blood has not dried up yet, even if someone wants to oppose it, he must first weigh his own ability. And what Mi Zhu said is also very practical, Jiangling is either occupied by Liu Bei or by the imperial court, and judging from the current situation, it is not a bad choice to take this opportunity to join the imperial court. After all, the imperial court occupies the righteousness, and even if there will be a loss of money if you take refuge in the past, at least people will be fine. But if you hug Liu Bei's thighs tightly, let's not talk about the distance, it's still unknown whether you can go over tonight.

"Mr. Mi doesn't need to say it, as a Han Chinese, he naturally has to be loyal to the imperial court, and tonight I promise Mr. Mi on behalf of the Wang family that I am willing to greet Mr. Mi with Mr. Mi."
