However, it turned out that although Hua Fei led an army of 5,000 and followed the rear of the enemy army unhurriedly, he had always been worried in his heart. The things and people he was concerned about were none other than him.

It was Zhao Wei, who was leading a 40,000-strong counterinsurgency army in front and hurried to Dianjiang County.

Hua Fei knew that Zhao Wei was the first person to follow Liu Yan into Sichuan in history, and he was also one of Liu Yan's trusted ministers.

However, this person is definitely not a simple character, Hua Fei remembered that Shuzhong was in the hands of Liu Yan's father and son, and there had been several rebellions.

During Liu Yan's tenure, Jia Long, a famous general in Shuzhong, led the crowd to rebel once; Immediately afterwards, it was the Shen Mi Rebellion that was used by himself; After this time, it will be Zhao Wei's turn to rebel.

Hua Fei believes that this illustrates a very important issue. That is, this Zhao Wei is very likely to disobey Liu Zhang at all, which means that he may not obey Liu Zhang's order and lead the 40,000 army to surrender to himself.

Therefore, during the time when he camped on the road, Hua Fei wrote a letter in his own hand after turning the Buddhist beads for a long time, in order to prevent Zhao Wei from disobeying Liu Zhang's orders. Then he was hurriedly sent to Dianjiang County to hand over to the two generals, so that they could act at their discretion.

After Tai Shici and Wei Yan received Hua Fei's letter, they quickly invited Liu Zhang, who was guarded by Yan Yan. Tai Shi Ci was shining with the bright red torch, and invited Liu Zhang to sit down first.

Then in the cool night breeze, he said to Liu Zhang: "Ji Yu! In the past few days, you should have clearly known that our army treats prisoners of war extremely favorably, right? ”

"Uh-huh...... Your army is very friendly to us and others. Liu Zhang saw Tai Shici talking to him, and hurriedly left the table, arched his hands, nodded and replied.

Yan Yan saw him nodding and bowing, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, but he didn't interject. I only heard Tai Shi Ci and said: "Ji Yu, please take a seat with peace of mind!" No need to be nervous. ”

Saying that, he sat down with Liu Zhang with both hands, and then continued: "My lord Hua Fei, let people send an urgent report, that Zhao Wei has led an army of 40,000 and is hurrying towards Dianjiang County. ”

"General!" When Liu Zhang heard this, he left the table again and shouted, "Zhang is willing to be a general and recruit Zhao Wei and his 40,000 troops to surrender!" ”

Tai Shi Ci glanced at him, but in the "crackling" sound of the torch burning, he slowly opened his voice and said: "My lord is worried that Zhao Wei will refuse to obey your orders. ”

Liu Zhang was silent when he heard this, he knew that this Zhao Wei didn't think much of himself in the past, and only corresponded often with his two brothers who died tragically in Chang'an.

Now that he has fallen into the hands of the enemy again, it can be said that he is already the phoenix that has lost his hair, and the tiger that has run away to the plain. Hua Fei suspected that he couldn't recruit Zhao Wei, but it was not unreasonable.

Thinking about it, he was worried that once he lost his use value, he didn't know if the two generals in front of him would be disadvantageous to him? Even, his face showed a worried look.

"Ji Yu!" Seeing this, Tai Shici said in a loud voice, "What my lord means is to bother you to write a few letters, and we will send them to Zhao Wei's military camp overnight to persuade Zhao Yun to surrender." ”

"It's easy!" Hearing this, Liu Zhang hurriedly said, "Why bother, I'll write for the general." ”

"No hurry!" Tai Shi Ci waved his hand and said, "If Zhao Wei is unwilling to surrender, in order to avoid too many casualties among the brothers in Shu, I will have to bother Ji Yu to go out with me and personally appear to recruit the brothers in Shu." ”

Liu Zhang is not Yan Yan, he is a person who cherishes his life very much, and how can he not agree if he is under the roof? At that moment, he hugged Tai Shici's fists and saluted deeply, and said loudly: "Zhang strictly obeys the general's orders, but if the general has an order, Zhang will never dare to refuse!" ”

Tai Shici hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him and said, "Then bother Ji Yu, quickly go and write the letter first, and then order the guards of our army to send it." ”

When Liu Zhang heard this, he bowed again and said goodbye, and then wanted to turn around and leave. Under the light of the torch, the red-faced Wei Yan, who had been squinting and watching, shouted: "Wait! ”

When Liu Zhang heard this, his body shook slightly, but he was surprised! Seeing this, Yan Yan clenched his fists and looked at Wei Yan angrily.

But he saw Wei Yan waving his hand to him and said loudly: "You don't have to look at me like this, now that Zhao Wei is leading an army of 40,000, you can't stay by Liu Jiyu's side anymore." ”

When Yan Yan heard this, he clenched his fists and said angrily: "Why not? ”

"You don't have to rush with me first!" Wei Yan waved his hand at Yan Yan and said loudly, "You have the courage to be unstoppable, if you take advantage of my unpreparedness to protect Liu Zhang to fight his way out of the encirclement and run to Zhao Wei's army, then won't we be in trouble?" ”

"The shaft is rude!" Yan Yan changed color when he heard this, and the halberd pointed at Wei Yan and shouted, "I, General Yan, can have a broken head and shed blood, but I will never do such an unrighteous thing that descends and rebels, and you dare to look down on me so much?" ”

"Huh?" Wei Yannian was angry, and when he heard the words, he glared angrily, raised his eyebrows, and clenched his fists. But he suddenly remembered that Yan Yan would rather die than surrender, but he was a person who admired loyalty and righteousness very much.

Nai clenched his fists to control his anger, only to hold back his "whirring" panting, but his red face was suffocated by three points.

Tai Shi Ci hurriedly spoke up and persuaded Wei Yan in anger: "Wen Chang! General Yan is a man of his word, but you must not be rude! What's more, the lord has already issued a strict order not to abuse prisoners, and you can't violate the military discipline set by the lord. ”

"Yan Yan! How dare you be so rude to General Wei! Liu Zhang was also frightened, and shouted at Yan Yan, "You, a person who doesn't know the times, don't you apologize to General Wei with me as soon as possible?" ”

Yan Yan saw that Liu Zhang was panicked, so he sighed secretly in his heart: "How cowardly the lord is! ”

He was both faithful and face-conscious. Seeing Liu Zhang's appearance, I knew in my heart that he was afraid! He wanted to listen to Liu Zhang's words and come to apologize to Wei Yan to appease Liu Zhang's heart, but he couldn't save face, but he couldn't help but hesitate in place for a while.

"Humph!" Wei Yan let out a rush from his nostrils, waved his hand and shouted to Yan Yan, "No need! I, Wei Yan, admire you for being a loyal and righteous person, so I don't want to worry about you. ”

Saying that, he paused and glanced at the two of them, and then continued to Yan Yanzhengse: "It's just that this admiration is admiration, you stay by Liu Jiyu's side, after all, it is extremely unfavorable to our army, so you still have to leave Liu Jiyu." ”

When Tai Shici heard this, he also felt that Wei Yan was reasonable, so he was silent on the side. Yan Yan was not angry in his heart, and he clenched his fists and opened his eyes to wait for Wei Yan to argue with Wei Yan again, but Liu Zhang shouted to stop him and urged him to leave.

That night, after driving away Yan Yan, who was loyal to the infarction, Liu Zhang wrote dozens of letters of surrender in this meeting hall, in front of Tai Shici and Wei Yan.

He was reminded by Tai Shici that in these dozens of letters, it was clearly stated that if Zhao Wei was willing to surrender, he must send someone to Dianjiang County to explain before noon on the 28th.

After Tai Shici and Wei Yan received the letter, they ordered the guards to escort Liu Zhang to rest. The two discussed again, and then Tai Shici led more than 100 elite guards, lit torches and went out of the city overnight, and rode their horses to the east first.

Wei Yan went to order the whole army to make all preparations. And at dawn the next day, after ordering the elite guards under his command, he led 6,000 soldiers to guard the county seat.

He also personally led the 8,000 elite horsemen, buckled the bow and rode the horse to protect Liu Zhang and Yan Yan, and left Dianjiang County and went to the east. (To be continued.) )
