Chapter 2: The Tragedy of the Veteran

Jiang Wei nodded and said, "That's right, this Zhao Yun is indeed one of the most famous generals in the Shu army, and his reputation is even heard of by us who are far away in Tianshui." Yin Xian said suddenly: "So it's just a detachment of the Shu people at the bottom of the mountain." Jiang Wei sighed: "It's completely correct, Zhuge Liang used Zhao Yun to attract the main force of my Great Wei, but in fact, he planned to march in a different direction. Do you think about where in the Great Wei Dynasty there have been countless rebellions in the past ten years, and many counties have not yet been governed by Taishou? ”

Yin Xian's face was shocked: "Could it be ......" Jiang Wei smiled bitterly: "That's right, if I were Zhuge Liang, there would be only one direction of marching...... Out of Qishan and directly hit Longxi. "Although I had no love for the history of the Three Kingdoms in my previous life, I still knew a lot about Zhuge Liang's deeds. What kind of grass boat borrowed arrows, three qi Zhou Yu, six out of Qishan, scolded Wang Lang......

When I was a child, the storyteller in the teahouse mentioned Zhuge Liang and said that he had no last resort, and his brain turned faster than the axle of a car. Lu Xun, a young man in literature and art, also said: "The wisdom of Zhuge Liang is close to the demon." "It's both an immortal and a demon, Zhuge Liang is an existence beyond God to him, but the Tianshui County where he is located is still the northwest barrier designated by the central government to resist the Shu thieves. Fortunately, Zhuge Liang in this era did not have a straw boat to borrow arrows, did not have three qi Zhou Yu, and even before the Northern Expedition, the people of Wei were still very unfamiliar with this Shu Han prime minister.

After Yin Xian learned of Jiang Wei's conjecture, he still had a trace of luck in his heart, so he asked: According to Boyo's opinion, shouldn't the situation in our Tianshui be very critical? Jiang Wei said with a smile: "Of course, the target of the enemy army is definitely our three counties in Longxi. Yin Xian was so angry that he stomped his feet: "Then why do you still have the leisure to laugh slowly here?" ”

Jiang Wei thought for a while and said: "Zhuge Liang's army will not act until Zhao Yun's detachment officially enters the Kei Valley, otherwise if the main force of our army is not attracted by Zhao Yun, wouldn't it be in vain?" Yin Xian smiled miserably: "Boyo, every time I see you speak in this tone, I feel scared, do you have any crazy ideas?" If we just want to know the reality of the Shu army, we don't need to come all the way here. ”

Jiang Wei clapped his hands and smiled: The parents of those who gave birth to me, and Yin Xian, who knows me. I'm just wondering, if I don't experience it myself, how can I know the skills of the Shu people, and are they really as good at fighting as rumored? (Let's contact the combat power of the Shu army first, don't let me down.) If the Shu people are as vulnerable as in the propaganda, then I will have to explain in the northwest where the poor mountains and bad waters are full of bad rivers in my life. )

Yin Xian took a few steps back, and hurriedly waved his hand to persuade: "You madman, there are only two of us." Not to mention the tens of thousands of troops below, we can't even get close to Zhao Yun. Jiang Wei patted Yin Xian's shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, I have a plan to lure out Zhao Yun, don't you believe in my martial arts?" No matter how strong Zhao Yun is, he is still a bad old man who is close to old age. ”

Yin Xian sighed: "But then we only have two people, do you often say that in the face of absolute power, resourcefulness has become child's play?" ”

Jiang Wei spread his hands and said: "I don't mean to face each other head-on, this is just a reconnaissance." And in my plan, there are fewer people but they can move freely, so let's have a light hunt. After speaking, Jiang Wei walked slowly down the mountain. Looking at Jiang Wei's distant back, Yin Xian sighed and his thin body seemed to shrink again: "Boyo, why are you doing this?" To outsiders, you are an adventurous and aggressive star of tomorrow. And I don't think so...... You're simply anesthetizing yourself by taking risks. It's been three years since Xiaomei's death, haven't you come out of the shadows? ”

At dusk that day, the afterglow of the sun fell on a pair of silver-white glazed armor in the middle of the Shu army camp, the owner of the armor was an old man who was nearly seventy years old, the old man raised the sword soaked in the basin of water, and carefully put it on the whetstone to polish. At this time, a middle-aged Shu general in a green robe walked over and said respectfully: The whole army has been deployed, and now it can act as long as the rear supplies arrive. ”

The old man nodded, and the old man's voice slowly sounded: "Thank you for your hard work, Deng Zhi." ”

Deng Zhi quipped: "General Zhao, who is usually moody, will also show such a bright smile, which is an eye-opener today." ”

Zhao Yun said with a smile: "You have been stationed in Yong'an with General Zhengxi for many years, and that old guy must have said a lot of bad things about me." Deng Zhi also remembered and said: "The two of you have been friends for decades, and you have long been confidants. In peacetime, the military is busy, and we only meet once a year, and General Chen misses you every time he scolds you. ”

Zhao Yun took out a rag to wipe the blade of the sword dry and put it back in the scabbard. Only then did he say: "We old bones earn a year a year, we haven't moved for many years since the last time we entered Sichuan, and we have always dreamed of being able to independently lead a legion to fight again, if it weren't for the wrong love of the prime minister, the green steel sword in my hand would be rusty." However, I can't be seen by Yong'an's uncle like this, otherwise that guy will definitely laugh at me behind my back. ”

Deng Zhi's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "General Chen, he will also laugh at others?" It's incredible, I've never seen him laugh once in the ten years I've been stationed in Yong'an. ”

Zhao Yun smiled and said, "Don't look at Chen Zhi's face all the time, he is actually a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside." ”

Deng Zhi nodded: "This topic is postponed for a moment, your appointment as the general of the First Army this time is certainly an affirmation, but it is also a great challenge. Especially in the case of the lack of cavalry, it is really a difficult task to face Cao Zhen with such a small number of troops. As soon as Deng Zhi's words fell, he saw a small colonel running over in a hurry, looking panicked: "Report, there seems to be a trace of a spy in the granary in the rear, and now he is being pursued everywhere." “

Zhao Yun threw the rag to Deng Zhi and coughed: "Tell the whole battalion to stop searching, don't mess up because of the rumors of spies." Immediately command the armies not to act rashly. Deng Zhi snorted: "It's not surprising that the enemy army is here in detail, in fact, even if we are discovered, it is a matter of planning, and we really don't need to pay special attention to it." ”

Zhao Yun shook his head, decades of military career told him that if he was meticulous, he should at least set fire to the granary, and it was unusual to do nothing. The more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, so Zhengse said: "Let me personally go to find out, in order to avoid alarming the army, I also asked Bo Miao to guard here." Deng Zhi smiled bitterly: "This is not appropriate, right?" As a general of the first army, you should take care of yourself, shouldn't you just leave these little things to the young people?

This casual sentence seemed to touch Zhao Yun's heart, he sighed heavily, and his eyes flashed with crystals: "Back then, there were five tiger generals on the left and right, but now I am the only one left, Ma Liang disappeared in the battle of Yiling, Huang Quan Mengda defected, Fu Tong Zhang Nan Feng Xi died in battle, and my Han talent withered, how can you tell me to rest assured?" ”

Deng Zhi gently put his hand on the old man's shoulder, patted it and asked, "I heard that the major general is also in the army?" Zhao Yun straightened his helmet: "Just take them to see the world, I have a hunch." My gut told me that the spy had a value for me to go there myself. With that, he rode the white horse pulled by the colonel and ran out of the gate.

Deng Zhi came back to his senses this time and shouted loudly: General? Really, no wonder Zhang Yi told me that being General Zhao's lieutenant was not easy at all. is usually rigid, and at a critical juncture, he made an unprecedented move. However, such talents deserve to be looked at differently. (Wait, today is the autumn equinox in the 24 solar terms, since eight years ago, the prime minister instructed the generals not to use swords on the day of the autumn equinox, otherwise there will be a disaster of blood and light.) )

When the boundless darkness engulfed the last ray of sunlight, Jiang Wei and Yin Xiancai climbed onto the dirt mountain not far from the granary of the Shu army.

Sure enough, the neighing of the war horse and the earth-shaking sound of the horse's hooves swept in the wind. Under the cover of night, an agile and vigorous cavalry team appeared, and the cavalry team of about thirty people was all dressed in black armor, only the leader was wearing white glazed armor and holding a purple silver spear.

"Huh" Zhao Yun stopped the white horse under his crotch, and said with a straight face: "This is where the enemy scouts haunt?" A young man with a silver spear appeared behind him, and he heard the young man say respectfully: "Father, I just found a suspicious figure near the granary. Zhao Yun snorted and said, "Stinky boy, there are no fathers and sons in the army, just call me an adult." The young man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Yes, General." ”

Zhao Yun crossed the gate of the granary, looked around and said, "Interesting...... If that's the case, how can there be no movement? If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will go with me to check the condition of the granary. With that, the white horse under his crotch neighed, and one man and one rode straight in.

As soon as Zhao Yun and his entourage disappeared at the gate, Jiang Wei and Yin Xun slid down the dirt slope, quickly got on their horses and ran towards the granary at full speed in the north and south directions. Jiang Wei opened a small door at the back of the granary in advance, and Yin Xian came to the back of the granary one step ahead of everyone and lit the fire. The northwest region has always been dry and dry, and it is also in the season of great drought. In an instant, the fire phoenix burned the plains, and the wind fueled the fire, instantly surrounding the entire granary. Jiang Wei drew a bow and shot two Shu soldiers guarding the door, and immediately dismounted and spread the straw hidden in the barn at the gate and poured lard.

Then he smiled darkly and stretched out his hand to a corpse of Shu Jun...... After dressing up, he stripped off the clothes of another corpse and handed it to Yin Xian, who hurried over.

At the same time, the fire in the center of the granary was overwhelming. The surrounding temperature was rising rapidly, Zhao Yun stroked the restless war horse under his crotch, and said loudly: "We were ambushed by the enemy, but the fire spread at a limited rate, so we rushed out." With his legs tightening his belly, Zhao Yun drove the war horse to rush towards the gate, but what awaited him was a deadly trap.
