The young man coughed a few times in pain, looking at me expectantly, I helplessly motioned for Xiao Shunzi to carry him into the room, and then asked: "This official is not talented, he is also a scholar, and he is confident that he has not robbed women, I don't know why you think that Mrs. Zun is here with me?" ”

The young man looked at me suspiciously, and said: "Although Han Zhang of the grass people is a native of Shu, he is not an official or a sergeant, just an ordinary farmer, but the wife of the grass people is the daughter of a famous family, with outstanding appearance and noble status, three years ago, Humble Jing ran away from home because he was dissatisfied with the marriage of the family, and married the grass people, a few months ago, Humble Jing learned that his mother was sick, so he went back to visit relatives, and the grass people returned home by themselves because it was the autumn harvest, and it was inconvenient to stay for a long time, so they returned home by themselves, who knew that they met Dayong and Nan Chu to attack Shu together, Humble Jing's father Tian Wei was a Ba County guard, unfortunately killed, Humble Jing and his mother-in-law were captured, I heard the news of the destruction of Ba County City and rushed to the night and found out that they were rewarded by Prince De to the army staff Jiang Zhe as a slave, so they tracked all the way back. ”

I looked at Xiao Shunzi suspiciously, Xiao Shunzi showed a look of sudden realization, and said: "My lord, at that time, when you were sick, Prince De saw that Tian Wei's daughter was handsome, so he rewarded her to the adult, and used it to reward the adult's contributions, but the adult has been unconscious, so the slave took charge of the adult and left them with the prince, these said, the slave because the adult was just healthy, wanted to serve the adult for a few more days, and saw that the Tian family served the prince very thoughtfully, and the surname Suo arranged for them to continue to serve the prince, so that everyone was happy. ”

Only then did I understand that it was no wonder that Xiao Shunzi was always by my side during this time, and I asked, "How does the prince treat them?" ”

Xiao Shunzi said respectfully: "Don't worry, my lord, the Tian family is smart and dexterous, and the prince still wants to accept her as a righteous daughter, but Mrs. Tian is not in good health because of the sadness of General Tian's death." ”

When Han Zhang heard this, he showed irrepressible joy, but he was covered by a painful look for a moment. I thought to myself, it seems that this Han Zhang is not a spy of the Shu army, but when he heard what I just said, should he stop talking? After thinking about it, there is no need, can he still go to tell Prince De. When I hesitated, Han Zhang was already dying, I hurriedly took out a needle box, took out the golden needle from it for him to acupuncture, and then gave him the wound medicine, and he fell asleep under the effect of the medicine. I said to Xiao Shunzi: "Tian Wei's death, I can't do anything, the two countries are fighting, death and injury are inevitable, but his wife and daughter are not guilty, you arrange, when we capture the city, after the road is clear, you will let their family of three go." ”

Xiao Shunzi said: "Yes, it would be good if I made it clear to the prince at that time, the prince will not be unhappy, but it's a pity, this Han Zhang's kung fu foundation is good, and the slave doesn't dare to be arrogant, even the guards in the palace are not many who can survive under my attack, if I can keep Han Zhang by my side as an adult's guard." ”

I thought it was unlikely, and said: "I am an official of Southern Chu, he is a relative of the generals of the Shu Kingdom, not to mention his mother-in-law and wife, where can he be my bodyguard." You're also a little whimsical. ”

Xiao Shunzi said: "It's not impossible, his wife is now a slave of the adult, if the adult allows him to stay and reunite with his wife, won't he also have to be grateful, but I know that what the adult needs is a loyal attendant, if this person is forced to stay, it will not be good." ”

I nodded and said, "Yes, it's better to be lacking than indiscriminate, if you are not loyal, it is useless to stay, but if we can capture the city, it will take at least a month or two, and they can't leave during this time, so let him be my attendant for the time being, so as not to make you and me too close and make people suspicious." Xiao Shunzi agreed: "It's okay, so that I don't always worry about the safety of adults." ”

By the time Han Zhang woke up, it was already late at night, he could feel the true vitality in his limbs, and he couldn't feel the heavy internal injuries that almost killed him, he didn't move, but he could feel that he was in a small room, he couldn't feel that there were people around, and he was about to sit up, a cold palm gently pressed his chest, and then the fire flashed, someone lit a fire candle, Han Zhang looked through the faint candlelight, and saw that the young man who had injured himself was looking at him coldly, his eyes were full of murderous intent. Han Zhang cleverly stopped moving, he didn't want to die inexplicably, especially after getting the news that his wife was safe.

Seeing that he was very calm, the man showed a cold smile and said: "My name is Li Shun, the Jiang Zhe you are looking for is my master, and the master has decided that when there is a result in the battle of Luocheng, he will release you and your mother-in-law and wife, but before that, I hope you will be his attendant for the time being." ”

Han Zhang hesitated, after all, he was a native of Shu, and he was a little reluctant to be the attendant of the officials who invaded his own land.

Xiao Shunzi didn't seem to see his look, and continued: "To tell the truth, you are not a good candidate, if someone suspects that you are a spy of the Shu army, it will inevitably bring trouble to the adults, but since the adults have decided, I have no opinion, tomorrow the adults will take you to meet your family, and then they will explain this matter to the Lord of the Prison Army, and after the permission of the Lord of the Prison Army, you can temporarily stay with my family, but there is one thing you have to keep in mind." Xiao Junzi's face became gloomy, and he said word by word: "You didn't hear my conversation with adults, you don't know my relationship with him, if you leak a word, I will kill you at the end of the world, and let your wife suffer the greatest pain in the world." ”

Han Zhang said awe-inspiringly: "Lord Jiang and Master Li are as kind to me as a mountain, and Han Zhang will not talk about it to the second person until he dies." ”

Xiao Shunzi withdrew his palm, smiled faintly, and left.

The next day, I took Han Zhang to see the prince, the prince heard that this matter was very complete, anyway, Tian's mother and daughter are my slaves, and allowed Han Zhang to stay with me temporarily, of course, he also informed Prince De's side, let them know about it, so as not to misunderstand that Han Zhang is a spy, but I think that there will be no less surveillance in the dark, so I told Xiao Shunzi not to come over for the time being. Of course, I also saw the slave and maid that Prince De rewarded me for the first time, Tian's name is Tian Suying, handsome, heroic, worthy of being a tiger girl, I heard Han Zhang say, Tian Suying can also do martial arts, and not under Han Zhang, this time it is clear that my mother can't get out, which makes me take a breath of cold air, if Tian Suying assassinates the prince or what should I do, when I asked Xiao Shunzi about this, Xiao Shunzi told me without care, not to mention that there are many guards around the prince, and he has warned Tian Suying, if you dare to commit murder, must have killed her mother, and they wouldn't be able to escape from Fushui Pass anyway. I immediately looked at Xiao Shunzi differently, this kid is strict and cautious, if he is willing to work hard, why not be the biggest chief of the eunuchs, when I told him this, Xiao Shunzi said contemptuously: "What's good about serving the lord of the country, low three and four, servile and servant, if there is a slight mistake, but also worry about the head falling to the ground, you are different, if you are really angry with me, it is a big deal to scold me, and you have to be careful that I can't stand the backlash." I suddenly felt a chill under Xiao Shunzi's cold gaze, and immediately wondered if there had been times when I had been too much for him before, but after thinking about it, it seems that there should be none, but no matter what, you must remember that this kid's martial arts are very high.

At this time, Chengdu has been in chaos, the important ministers of the court, Prime Minister Xianjun with the general Fanhu, Meng Tatar stationed in Jiameng Pass, Dayong siege the city very frequently, so that the defenders of Jiameng Pass are almost blind, and the general Long Bu and the general Wei Xian Shouba County, also dare not relax, the center of Shu almost has no soldiers, Shu King Meng Yun has black hair for a few months, he resents Nanchu betraying the alliance, and hates why he offended Dayong. Thinking about it, but there was no way to retreat from the enemy, and later the important minister of Shu Fa Lan offered a plan, saying that since Dongchuan had been lost, it was better to make peace with Dayong, and if Dayong collected troops, Nanchu would definitely not attack Shu alone. Although the strategy was accepted by the lord of the country, but who to send as a messenger, Yongwang Li Zhen moved the world, if he sent an ordinary person, he was afraid that he would not even be able to say a few words, and then Yang Can, who was mad in Shu, invited himself to go. Yang Can said that he arrived at Jiameng Pass at night, and the blood and fire were raging in Jiameng Pass, Yang Can rested for a night, and the next day he went out of the customs to Yongying, and handed over the national letter to ask to see. Before long, King Yong ordered the handsome tent to be seen.

Yang Can is a famous madman in the Shu Kingdom, he is proud of his talents, and there is no one in his eyes, but seeing the Yongwang army's appearance and purification, the tiger in front of the tent is very strong, and he can't help but feel cold, he sorted out his appearance, walked into the big tent, and saw a man in uniform with a graceful appearance, a gentle but faint bearded man sitting behind the handsome case, Yongwang Li Xian is thirty years old Chinese New Year's Eve this year, but he has no murderous aura at all in the battlefield, he wears black light armor, covered with brocade robes, and his expression is graceful and peaceful, as if he is sitting at home, not leading troops on the battlefield, On his left hand, there are more than a dozen generals standing in turn, all of them are calm and fierce, and on his right hand stand more than a dozen staff members who are either wearing civilian official uniforms or cloth clothes, which shows the prosperity of the military under his command.

Yang Can entered the account, stood without kneeling, and said loudly: "Yang Can, the envoy of Shu State, paid a visit to His Royal Highness King Yong. ”

Those generals all opened their eyes angrily, and one of the rough-looking generals said: "Little envoy, why don't you kneel when you see Your Highness?" ”

Yang Can raised his voice and said: "Although Yang Can is cloth, but he is a citizen of Shu, although His Royal Highness is noble, but he is a minister of Dayong. ”

A strategist who looked like a gentleman and was only fifty years old said gently: "The Shu Kingdom was defeated day and night, my Dayong army of 200,000 people, under the soldiers Chen Pass, the lord of your country did not want to win, but sent you as a messenger, what is the matter?" ”

Yang Can bowed and said: "The lord of my country knows that he has offended Dayong, and now that the soldiers are coming to the city, how can I not be afraid, but my Shu country has not fallen, and as a Shu people, I dare not insult the national body." If Dayong forgives sins and allows my Shu to be called a minister and pay tribute, then although Chan is arrogant, he dares to disrespect the important ministers of the country. ”

A young strategist, with an ordinary appearance, but with a hawk's nose and deep eyes, said coldly: "Shu is now in a precarious situation, Jia Meng Guan Dan is about to go down, I don't know what Shu country will take to seek peace, my country can win all, why stay and wait for the remnants." ”

Yang Can said proudly: "Although the Shu State is defeated now, but Jiameng Pass and Bajun are still in control, there may not be no possibility of Gou An, if your country insists on destroying my Shu State, my lord would rather give all of Shu to Nanchu, when Nanchu has both the fertile soil in Shu, and has Jingxiang, even if Dayong is strong, from now on can only sit back and watch Nanchu grow, if you are willing to strike a truce, my Shu not only to Dayong is a vassal, but also Jiameng Pass outside Dongchuan dare not claim back. My lord deeply hates the lord of Southern Chu for betraying the alliance, if he holds a grudge in the future, he will only retaliate against Southern Chu, Dayong has half of my country, and he can sit back and watch my Shu and Southern Chu vendetta against each other, isn't it happy? ”

Everyone was silent when they heard it, and even said that they came to attack Jia Mengguan, which made them more or less have the idea of withdrawing the army, but the strategy has been decided and cannot be modified, so people's eyes fall on Li Zhen, the king of Yong.

Li Zhen smiled slightly and asked, "I don't know how the characters in Shu are?" ”

Yang Canlang said: "I am a prosperous person in Shu, Xiao He's talent, Wu has the courage of an overlord, and I have the wisdom of Liangping, and I am a handsome man in Shu, all of whom are loyal and righteous people. ”

An imperceptible cold light flashed in Li Zhen's eyes, and he continued to ask: "Now that the King of Shu is under his control, how many people are like monarchs?" ”

Yang Can said: "There are hundreds of people who are all-round in civil and military affairs, both wise and brave, such as those below, and the amount of the vehicle." ”

Li Zhen asked, "In that case, what is your position?" ”

Yang Can replied: "Under the rule of the country, things are rich and the people are abundant, and we and other savages return to the countryside and enjoy themselves day and night." ”

Li Zhen smiled faintly and said: "Your envoy will be tired when he comes from afar, please return to the customs for the time being, if there is a reply, he will definitely send an envoy to tell him." ”

Yang Can said goodbye again, not far from the account, a white-shirted Confucian with thin eyebrows and long eyes, and a graceful demeanor, quietly came out of the account and asked: "Mr. Yang is a madman in Shuzhong, why do you bow first and then respect?" ”

Yang Can replied: "I was arrogant before, for the sake of unyielding will, and later respectful, for the sake of my Shu State Sheji." ”

The white-shirted Confucian was silent, and said: "In Xia Dayong Xuansong, the word is evergreen, if there is a trust in the future, you can send a letter with you, as long as you don't interfere with national affairs, Changqing will do her best." ”

Yang Can thanked him and returned to Chengdu via Jiameng Pass to resume his life.

Half a month later, the Yongjun army no longer attacked the city, and the pressure on Jiameng Pass suddenly decreased.

Not long, the news was sent to the hands of Prince Zhao Jue of De by the secret agents of Southern Chu thousands of miles, Zhao Jue was angry, he was not very happy during this time, the city could not be attacked for a long time, Long Bu deserved to be the general of Shu, often took advantage of the change in the situation of the Southern Chu army to go out of the city to fight, often so that the Southern Chu had to retreat, and Wei Xian was good at intercepting the village, three said a small section, five said a large section, so that the Southern Chu army could not sleep well, Long Bu, Wei Xian echoed each other, the Southern Chu army did not advance an inch in January, and the rear grain road was often disturbed by the scattered Shu army, Zhao Jue was helpless for a while, When he was troubled, he got this amazing bad news again, if Shu and Dayong really made peace, then it was really the end of Southern Chu, and then he remembered Jiang Zhe. This young champion's surname is really a bit strange, although Zhao Jue forced Jiang Zhe to join the army, and he didn't bother to ask during Jiang Zhe's serious illness because of the battlefield fright, but this can't be blamed on Zhao Jue, the former, Zhao Jue thinks that Jiang Zhe is a courtier of Southern Chu, since he has talent, how can he not serve the country, the latter, Zhao Jue is because he was too busy with military affairs at that time, busy with marching and fighting, and it is not easy to link the city. And Jiang Zhe was very indifferent to military affairs after recovering from his illness, Zhao Jue felt that Jiang Zhe was slacking off when he first recovered from his serious illness, and secondly, he also noticed the rejection of Jiang Zhe by his henchman Rong Yuan, because he didn't want to destroy the guest-host relationship with Rong Yuan, after all, Rong Yuanjun was very proficient in military strategy and was his indispensable right-hand man, so in comparison, he couldn't help but be a little indifferent to Jiang Zhe. Two reasons made Zhao Jue and Jiang Zhe more and more estranged. But today, Zhao Jue once again felt the importance of Jiang Zhe, Jiang Zhe is far superior to others, not only in the ability to analyze intelligence and process official documents, but also in Jiang Zhe's strategic foresight, from the attack on Ba County, Jiang Zhe is good at planning the purpose of the battle in advance, and can find a breakthrough from the vast amount of intelligence, although the implementation needs to be done by cautious and meticulous people, but it is already very rare. Now that Zhao Jue has encountered difficulties in decision-making, he finally thinks of Jiang Zhe again, but what about Rong Yuan?

When Zhao Jue was worried, Rong Yuan came to visit, and as soon as he saw Zhao Jue, he knelt down on his knees and pleaded guilty. Zhao Jue was stunned, and hurriedly helped Rong Yuan up, and asked, "Why is Mr. Rong so gifted?" ”

Rong Yuan said ashamedly: "The subordinates are narrow-minded, reject the virtuous, and the sin is not forgiven, recently, the subordinates always think of how to break the enemy, and always can't think of an effective way. ”

Zhao Jue was overjoyed and said: "Mr. knows that mistakes can be corrected, good is great, Zhao Jue also has mistakes, negligence celebrities, the two of us go to see Jiang Zhe together, we will definitely be able to get understanding, so that Jiang Zhuangyuan can make a plan to break this deadlock." Saying that, he handed the information in his hand to Rong Yuan, Rong Yuan looked at it, his face was like dirt, he naturally knew the danger of the current situation, if Shu really called Dayong, then once Shu recovered its vitality, it would inevitably take Nan Chu as the target of revenge. Thinking of this, he hurriedly urged Zhao Jue to find Jiang Zhe together.

At this moment, I am still immersed in a comfortable guest life, and after knowing that Tian Suying can also do martial arts, Wang Haijian Jun immediately agreed to return Tian Suying and Tian to me, their family is reunited, and they are naturally happy, but Tian Suying is still lukewarm to me, after all, I am a high-ranking official in Southern Chu, and I am the culprit who made plans to defeat her father. I didn't know that a black cloud had been pressed into the sky of Nanchu.

Just as I was writing down the poem I had just written, someone outside the door asked, "Is Master Jiang here?" ”
