"Linjiang? Very good. Xu Shu nodded, "This second person is a native of Jingzhou, surnamed Liu Mingba, and his character is at the beginning." ”

"Are you talking about Mr. Liu Ba, a famous man in Jingzhou? He is now deeply trusted by General Zuo, and lives in Chengdu for the general's mansion Xicao Peng. ”

Xu Shu's eyes lit up, he thought that Deng Xian was just a nameless junior, and he didn't know much about it, but he didn't expect that Deng Xian could tell one, two, or three about the official positions and locations of these people.

"I didn't expect you, a young general, to be very well-informed!"

Deng Xian sneered and said: "My little sister was accepted as a concubine by Guan Yu, the county guard of Shu County some time ago, so she knows some personnel changes in Shu. ”

"It turned out that he was involved with Liu Bei's second brother Guan Yu by marriage, no wonder!" Xu Shu thought in his heart, "This third person, surnamed Wu Mingyi, is from Yanzhou Chenliu." ”

"Wu Yi, Wu Ziyuan, was put in prison by General Zuo for helping Liu Yizhou escape, and I heard that he had surrendered some time ago and was appointed as the general of Fuguan."

"Well, the last person, the former Yizhou engaged in Wang Lei."

Hearing Wang Lei's name, Deng Xian's face suddenly became very bad, as if something very bad was about to happen.

Xu Shu was a little strange, so he comforted Deng Xian and said: "If General Deng doesn't know where Wang Ti is, he might as well say it bluntly, and he won't blame you." If you know, be sure to speak up. ”

Deng Xian "poofed", knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "It's not that the villain doesn't know, but Wang Zhen is in the Jiangyou camp now......"

"Oh?" Xu Shu was a little puzzled, it was a good thing for Wang Ti to be in the Jiangyou camp, why did Deng Xian look like this?

When the guards brought Wang Lei according to Deng Xian's confession, Xu Shu finally understood why Deng Xian was so panicked before.

The man was no more than seven feet tall, with a vegetable-colored face, and a very thin body, and at first glance he had been suffering from hunger and cold for a long time, and there were traces of whipping on the exposed part of his body, as if he had been punished by some punishment. But Rao is like this, and there is still a strong aura on his face. This person must be Liu Zhang's predecessor Wang Tired.

"The villain Wang is tired, I've seen the general! The general was sent by Liu Yizhou to rescue me? Wang Ti was not scared, and when he came up, he asked Xu Shu with blazing eyes.

Xu Shu nodded and said: "Liu Yizhou asked the court for help, and I am Xu Shu, the general of Fenwei Zhonglang under the command of the general." ”

"Nanyang Army?" Wang Lei was a little surprised when he heard this, and immediately came back to his senses and smiled: "It's better than Liu Bei's villain with wolf ambitions!" Yizhou was originally the Yizhou of the Han Dynasty, and it was natural for the state pastor to ask the imperial court for help. ”

This Wang Ti can see it clearly, knowing that Liu Zhang's request for help from the imperial court is equivalent to submitting to the general He Xian, according to the traditional practice of the Nanyang Army, the princes who take the initiative to serve are extremely favorable. There are Zhang Yang and Wang Kuang in the front, and Tao Qian and Qiao Mao in the back, all of which are excellent examples.

"Wang Zhi rest assured, General Zhang Ren's 20,000 troops are behind him, and they will also arrive at the Jiangyou camp tomorrow evening!"

Wang Lei's eyes lit up: "Jia Meng Pass and Sword Pavilion have already been captured?" ”

Xu Shu shook his head: "It hasn't been captured yet, but it's not long before!" ”

"Jiameng Pass and Sword Pavilion have not been captured, how did General Xu arrive in Jiangyou?" When Wang Ti heard this, he was a little confused.

Xu Shu pointed to the mountain in the north: "Of course it came from the mountain!" ”

"Impossible!" Wang Ti exclaimed, "The Mage Mountain is steep and extremely difficult. There is also a moat as a desperate way, people are not birds, how can they come down from the mountain? ”

Xu Shu smiled and said nothing, meaning that I definitely didn't lie to you.

Wang Lei muttered to himself: "Could it be that the legendary Yinping Ancient Road really exists? ”

Xu Shu didn't answer, and instead asked Deng Xiandao: "Why is Wang engaged in Jiangyou Daying?" ”

Deng Xian wanted to cry, who knew that any prisoner who was serving in custody could have anything to do with the enemy. Deng Xian cried with a sad face, and said with a big mouth: "The villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, he shouldn't bully Lord Wang, please spare his life!" ”

Wang Ti glanced at Deng Xian in disgust and said, "That's it! You're a capricious villain, you're just greedy for money, so you saved the old man's life, didn't you? Next time, remember, don't be too snobbish. Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, who can have any changes in their own lives? ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Lord Wang is right! There will never be a next time for the villain, and he will never bully again! Deng Xian hurriedly answered.

It turned out that after Liu Bei defeated Liu Zhang, he wanted to recover Wang Lei and others to serve him. Wang Ti didn't comply, so Liu Bei sent Wang Ti to Jiangyou Camp as a coolie, trying to force Wang Ti to comply. During this period, Deng Xian received a hint from Liu Bei, and naturally he was embarrassed in every way. Unexpectedly, Wang Ti gritted his teeth and worked hard for more than half a year, ignoring Deng Xian's various humiliations, but refusing to accept the soft and serve Liu Bei. If it weren't for Liu Bei's refusal, Deng Xian would have wanted to kill Wang Lei. But fortunately, Wang Lei was not killed, so there is today's scene of Deng Xian begging for mercy. Wang Lei naturally understood what Deng Xian did, and many of them were instructed by Liu Bei, so he didn't want to worry too much about such a repeated villain.

Xu Shu ordered the guards to take Deng Xian down, and sent a table of wine and meat to Wang Lei, and after Wang Lei was full of food and drink, he sent someone to bathe and change his clothes, and Meimei rested for one night.

That night, the sergeant stationed at the camp at the foot of Motianling came to report: Zhang Ren had led 20,000 troops down the mountain smoothly, and was rushing to Jiangyou at night, and it was expected that he would be able to resist the next afternoon, which was half a day faster than Xu Shu estimated.

The next day, before Zhang Ren arrived, Wang Ti took the initiative to find Xu Shu. After a night's rest last night, Wang Ti now looks refreshed.

"Is there anything important to teach Xu Shu as an adult?"

Wang Lei said with a smile: "I don't dare to give advice, I just want to do something for adults and Liu Yizhou." ”

"Engaged adults, please speak, Xu Shu listens!"

General Xu went deep into Shu alone, and his meaning is self-evident. Although the terrain of Jiangyou is dangerous, it is not a long-term solution after all. The next step is either to attack Mianzhu and Chengdu in the south, or to counterattack Zitong, Jiange and Jiamengguan in the north. Tired and talented, he is not good at leading troops to fight, but he is willing to follow the example of Su Qin and Zhang Yi, and goes to the Sword Pavilion to persuade the defender Meng Da to surrender. If the Sword Pavilion can be surrendered, it is expected that half of the task of the army can be completed. ”

Xu Shu's body trembled, his face was still as usual, and he asked, "Can you be sure of being an adult?" ”

"I have an old relationship with Meng Da, and fifty percent of the certainty can be said to be down to Meng Da! If the general can create a greater momentum in Shu, the certainty of convincing Meng Da can be increased to seventy! ”

"Don't worry, Ben will definitely do something big in Shuzhong! Over there in the Sword Pavilion, please make a hard trip...... If he can say that he will surrender Meng Da and dedicate the Sword Pavilion, Xu Shu is willing to ask the general to play and report to the adult for the first credit. ”

"Don't dare to be, just do your best!" Wang Lei was not polite, and asked Xu Shu for some gold, silver, dry food and other things, "Without further ado, I will leave tonight!" ”
