Chapter Twenty-Five: The Heart Is Like a Mess

Jiang Wei put the Hidden Blade next to Zhang He's neck, slowly got up and said coldly: "Hand over Ma Jian and let us cross the river." Hao Zhao and a group of wolf riders drew their scimitars and surrounded Jiang Wei. Hao Zhao saw that the master was about to be captured, and he was annoyed in his heart, knowing that it was too careless to let the soldiers shoot this person to death with bows.

Jiang Wei saw that Wei Jun had no intention of compromising at all, so he immediately picked up the green steel sword from the ground and slashed it on Zhang He's thigh, and said sharply: "I am just a nobody member of the Shu Kingdom, and I can drag General Zhenxi into the water, and it is not in vain to go through this world." Three breaths of time, make a quick decision. ”

"One"

"Two"

"Go, let Ma Jian go and send the two of them across the river." Zhang He, who had been silent before, finally opened his mouth. The street pavilion has already arrived, so why bother with two young people with strong blood?

After a while, Ma Tan led two thousand remnants of soldiers to slowly cross the river from the pontoon bridge. Seeing this, Jiang Wei couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and the wolf cavalry was extraordinary, and it was only a stick of incense for him to ride into the battle alone, and these wolf horses were able to slaughter more than 3,000 people during this period, and their combat power should not be underestimated.

When Jiang Wei crossed the river, he was blocked by the Wei army on the bridge, and Hao Zhao asked: "We can't believe you, please return the old general here." Jiang Weilang laughed: "Yes, but I can't trust you either." Why don't you let this general take your place? As soon as the words fell, there was a roar of horses' hooves knocking on the ground in the northwest of the wasteland, and a large group of iron horsemen came out densely on the vast horizon, and there were more than 8,000 people in their view.

This group of cavalry can be divided into two groups according to the color of the uniform, and the one wearing the blue robe is the Qiang iron cavalry led by Cheriji, and the leader is a young woman. The other group is the cavalry of the Shu army wearing green robes, led by a black-faced man, wearing dark green armor, wearing dark green robes, and the big axe in his hand is slightly flashing.

Jiang Wei was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately threatened: "These are all my big Han iron horses, if you don't dislike them, why don't you have a discussion here?" Hao Zhao was horrified in his heart and asked: "This is impossible, the Shu army defending the street pavilion is all infantry, how can a cavalry team of nearly 8,000 people appear out of thin air?" ”

Jiang Weilang laughed loudly: "The wool comes out of the sheep, let you imagine." Our army has given up garrisoning the street pavilion, you have achieved your goal, why don't you let us go? Zhang He showed a wry smile on his face and exclaimed: "A sharp mouth alone can persuade the Qiang people to take refuge...... This war is you who win. Jiang Wei sneered: "Don't dare to be, and ask General Zhang to let me wait for a way out." ”

A trace of helplessness flashed in Zhang He's eyes, so he nodded slightly and said hello.

Seeing that the lord was about to be captured, the 20,000 wolf horsemen had to watch the 8,000 Shu army swagger across the Wei River. Jiang Wei led an army of 10,000 and rode south for about ten miles, only then did he loosen the tie for Zhang He, Jiang Wei bent down and hugged his fists and said: "Boy Jiang Wei has offended, and I hope that the old general has a lot, and I thank the old general for not doing his best." ”

Zhang He couldn't help but smile and said: "It's cheap and good, I didn't expect to meet a talent like you here, it seems that as Mr. Jia Xu said, Kansai is a place where Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." Jiang Wei saw that Zhang He was talking to him sincerely, and he also said his sincere words: "I didn't expect that a person as humble as myself could meet you, the general, who attacked Mobei several times to repel the foreign race, which is admirable." ”

Zhang He shook his head and said, "Don't keep calling me general, if you are concerned about etiquette, just call me the word of the table." It's just a boyo...... Do you really think you're a lowly person? I don't agree with this humble statement at all, I think you have to be arrogant, and you have to be arrogant to not be satisfied with the status quo and actively strive for what you want. You have the force and you know the strategy, but you still need some opportunities. ”

Jiang Wei felt that Zhang He had spoken his heart, and he couldn't stop nodding.

As soon as the topic changed, Zhang He suddenly asked, "Have you ever been to Dingjun Mountain?" ”

Jiang Wei sighed and said, "It's a pity, I only hear its name." Back then, General Xiahou Yuan sacrificed his life for the country there. ”

Zhang He nodded and said, "That's right, but that kind of tragedy will become my chance." General Xiahou was killed, the morale of the army was scattered, and the people around him fled and left, and I was very scared at that time. But I seized the opportunity, overcame my fears, took the lead in stabilizing the morale of the army, and avoided the complete collapse of the Hanzhong front. Cao Gong praised my deeds, and my current position is based on my achievements at that time. So you have to seize the opportunity, talents like you should not be buried in this small place of Xichuan. It's a small world, and it's big. After saying that, the old man with white hair turned around and walked away.

Yang Lan suddenly appeared from behind Jiang Wei and teased: "Heartbeat? Do you want to go back to Wei as an official again? Jiang Wei sighed: "If I had been born decades earlier, I might have been really tempted." The empire established by Cao Mengde began to fall apart the moment the Jiupin Zhongzheng system was established. ”

The two returned to the military formation, only to find Ma Tan kneeling on the ground, whimpering and crying. Yang Lan glanced at her in disgust and whispered, "You Han people are really useless. Jiang Wei shook his head and smiled: "Wrong, this is exactly the manifestation of his shame and admitting his mistakes, take a look with me." ”

has just experienced the catastrophe of life and death, and Ma Jian came from it and cried loudly in the army.

Jiang Wei stepped forward and helped Ma Jian up, and asked in a friendly voice, "You were injured when you joined the army?" Why don't you stand up and speak? Ma Jian cried with a sad face and wailed, "It's over...... It's over. If the street pavilion is lost, we will all die. ”

Yang Lan showed disgust on her face, and said coldly: "Let him die of this kind of waste, save us from wasting food." Where have all the high-spirited looks gone before? For the generals to escape, you really give me the face of the commander. ”

Ma Jian wiped his tears, and his tone was a little blurred: "I'm sorry for the soldiers of the three armies, and I'm willing to apologize with death." With that, he drew his sword with his backhand and swiped it around his neck.

People can see it really when they get close, and this Ma Jian is really bent on death. Jiang Wei immediately snatched the sword and shouted loudly: "The main general committed suicide before the battle, but you want to disturb the morale of the army?" The top priority is to find a way to survive, and if you join the army, you must at least personally go to the prime minister to ask for guilt, which is the responsible attitude. Since I saved your life, then give me your life before returning to Hanzhong. ”

Ma Tan's emotions slowly calmed down, and he kowtowed to Jiang Wei and said, "The general rescued me in the chaos, please accept Ma Tan's worship." ”

Liu Yin hummed a little song, looked at each other coldly, and said in his heart: It's still the boss, and this little white face will have to be demoted if he doesn't die after he goes back.

After Jiang Wei pacified Ma Yan, he led the whole army to continue to march south, and when the 10,000 army marched near Wudu, Ju Fu suddenly rode forward and asked, "Then again, if we leave to evacuate immediately, then how will Lord Lingzun settle down?" I heard that she is still in Jicheng. ”

Jiang Wei said: "Since I am responsible for commanding the whole army, I can't leave without permission. I wrote to Yin Taishou to ask him to deal with this matter. "Poof" Yang Lan suddenly laughed, her sky-blue eyes staring at Jiang Wei as if she had something to say. Jiang Wei waved his horsewhip and said, "Hurry up now, Zhang He's pursuers may surprise from the rear at any time." I intend to let Ma Tan and General Wang lead 2,000 remnants of the army back to the camp first, and report the loss of the street pavilion to the prime minister, and I will lead 8,000 iron cavalry to the rear of the palace. ”

After hearing this, Wang Ping nodded, hugged his fists and said, "Thank you, Bo Yue is reasonable, this place is not suitable for a long time." I joined the army and I took our leave. After the two of them led the army away, Zhang Wei glanced at Jiang Wei and rode forward. Jiang Wei hurriedly followed and asked, "Boqi (Zhang Weibiao), what do you want to say to me?" ”

Zhang Wei said softly: Can you still command the troops like this? You can deceive the soldiers, but you can't deceive me. I still have 200 barbarians under my command, enough to climb mountains and mountains. Let me take Ling Zun back to Hanzhong. Since you're worried about your mother, you should show it, okay? ”

Jiang Wei sighed, with a bit of helplessness in his tone: "Thousands of soldiers are watching me from behind, the whole army is defeated, and people are panicking. The only person they can rely on is me, an untalented commander. If even I am shaken, can these people not mess up? This matter will trouble General Zhang, and I will definitely ask you about the wine in the future. ”

(Actually, this is not the case, the most painful person can only be me.) Soon I will have to leave Tianshui, the place where I have lived for eight years, and I will be separated from incense forever, what a painful thing. And in the chaos, I don't dare to guarantee that my mother will be able to enter Shu smoothly...... All of this can mess me up at any time).
