Chapter 452: The Show Begins
Shi Xie stopped laughing. Because he couldn't laugh anymore.
Wang Ping is not wrong, before today, Shi Xie has never even heard of Wang Ping's name, but when he saw it today, he was deeply shocked by Wang Ping's courage, and Wang Ping is just a deputy general under Zhuge Liang, with Ao Lie's insight into people, he will never bury talented people, from this point of view, the reason why Wang Ping is still in the position of deputy general can only show that in the Han army camp, there are really capable people, and Wang Ping has not yet reached the standard of promotion.
Thinking about it further, the deputy generals like Wang Ping in the Han army have such courage, so the abilities of the people of one dragon and one tiger, five tiger generals and eight good generals can also be deduced. A chill instantly climbed up Shi Xie's back, and it was only at this moment that he realized how terrifying the strength under Ao Lie's command was! No wonder those as strong as Liu Bei will be planted in Ao Lie's hands one after another.
After pondering for a moment, Shi Xie suppressed the fear in his heart, looked up at Wang Ping again, and asked Wang Ping about the purpose of Wang Ping's visit this time: "That's it, what is the strength of the generals under Ao Mohan, let's not discuss it." Tell me why you're here. ”
Wang Ping sent the letter in his hand forward and replied: "The reason why I came to meet the envoy in person, my Yan Wang has already written it in the letter, and the envoy will naturally know it after reading it." ”
Shi Xie nodded slightly, and a personal soldier standing beside him took a few steps forward, took Ao Lie's handwritten letter from Wang Ping's hand, and then turned around and handed it to Shi Xie's hand. Shi Xie opened the envelope, spread Ao Lie's letter on the table, and looked at it carefully. It didn't take long for Shi Xie to finish reading the letter, his eyes were still fixed on the letter, but he asked Wang Ping in his mouth: "So, Ao Mohan wants to have a face-to-face interview with me about returning my brother and Wu Ju?" ”
Wang Ping said: "This is exactly what my Yan King intended. My Yanwang also said it. The time and place can be decided by the envoy. At that time, King Yan will definitely ride alone and come to meet the envoy. ”
Shi Xie pondered for a moment, then stood up and said to Wang Ping, "Since King Yan is not afraid of my plots, I have nothing to fear. Please tell King Yan that two days later, on the dirt mountain twenty miles away from our army's camp, I will wait for King Yan! ”
Not long after Wang Ping left, Liu Bei came to Shixie's big tent. In fact, as early as the beginning of Wang Ping's arrival. Liu Bei had already received the news, and the reason why he didn't come over was to hear what Shi Xie would say to Ao Lie's envoy. When Wang Ping entered Shixie's big tent, Liu Bei's eyes and ears had already quietly lurked behind Shixie's big tent, eavesdropping on all the conversations between the two people in the tent, and relayed the content of the conversation to Liu Bei at the same time that Wang Ping left.
Liu Bei did not have any kindness to Shi Xie, he fabricated the reason why Ao Lie killed Liu Xie, and tricked Shi Xie into leading an army of 100,000 to come. It is nothing more than wanting to use Shi Xie's power to help him resist Ao Lie's Han army, of course, he can take the opportunity to kill Shi Xie and embezzle the 100,000 elite soldiers under him. It's the best result. After learning about the conversation between Shi Xie and Wang Ping, Liu Bei immediately realized that this was a good opportunity to eliminate Ao Lie and Shi Xie at the same time, if they could meet at the same time. suddenly led the army to kill and killed both of them on the spot, then Liu Bei made a lot of money.
However, Liu Bei also knew that this matter had to be carefully planned. There can't be the slightest deviation, so he came to listen to Shi Xie's tone in person, and he had to figure out when Shi Xie was going to meet with Ao Lie and how many people he was going to bring before he could make the next plan.
After seeing Shi Xie, Liu Bei pretended to be concerned and pretended to persuade Shi Xie: "Envoy Jun, Ao Lie and his people, insidious and vicious, with a lonely view, it is better for Jun not to go." ”
Shi Xie turned his head to look at Liu Bei, and asked as if intentionally and unintentionally, "How can the news of the King of Hanzhong be so well-informed?" Ao Lie's envoy Wang Ping had just left here less than half a pillar of incense, and the king of Hanzhong already knew everything that had just happened? ”
Not good! Shixie became suspicious of himself. Liu Bei exclaimed in his heart, secretly blaming himself for being too anxious, without first asking Wang Ping the purpose of coming, he directly said the words to dissuade Shi Xie and Ao Lie from meeting, revealing such an obvious flaw.
Liu Bei is Liu Bei after all, and his ability to adapt to changes can be called the world's first-class. With a kind smile on his face, Liu Bei pretended to be casual and said: "Actually, Gu doesn't fully understand, it's just that on the way here just now, I heard a few words from the soldiers in the battalion. However, Lone knows Ao Lie very well, he has been in Yizhou for a few days, but he has not made any moves, this time the conspiracy must have been brewed, so he invited the envoy to meet alone. You must be cautious. ”
Listening to Liu Bei's flawless words on the surface, Shi Xie's suspicions became even heavier. He knows that the more perfect and flawless he is, the more unbelievable he is, because the true words can often find flaws, and because they are true, they will have defects; And those seemingly flawless words are lies that do not stand up to scrutiny. At this moment, Shi Xie suddenly found that he had made an unconventional low-level mistake, all along, he was just listening to Liu Bei's words, and he didn't really understand Ao Lie and the Han army at all, if it weren't for Wang Ping's envoy, Shi Xie saw the epitome of the Han army's soldiers, I'm afraid he would continue to listen to Liu Bei's words without identifying the authenticity.
Thinking of the last paragraph of Ao Lie's letter, Shi Xie felt that he was indeed a little reckless, and he had always believed in Liu Bei too much. Now you might as well follow Ao Lie's proposal and give Liu Bei a try, and at that time, it will naturally be clear who is loyal and who is traitorous.
Although he made a decision in his heart, he did not show any abnormality on his face. Shi Xie smiled and said to Liu Bei: "I see. Thank you King Hanzhong for your concern. However, my brother and Wu Ju are now in the hands of Ao Lie, and I can't let go, so I must go to this meeting, and I also promised Ao Lie, we will not bring a large team of people to go at that time, and I will only bring more than 100 personal soldiers at most. As for Ao Mohan, he had already made a promise that he would only go alone. ”
Listening to Shi Xie's words, Liu Bei felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart. God-given opportunity, Ao Lie is only alone, and Shi Xie will only bring more than 100 personal guards, if he leads a force of 10,000 people to the place where the two meet to set up an ambush, then even if Ao Lie has three heads and six arms, there is no possibility of escape! As long as you kill these two people, recover Yizhou, and then occupy Jiaozhou, and then recapture Jingzhou in two ways, it will no longer be a dream! When the time comes, the hegemony can be achieved, and the emperor can be expected!
Liu Bei quickly calculated in his heart, but his face was calm, and he pretended to be concerned and told Shi Xie a few words, let him be careful, don't be fooled by Ao Lie's conspiracy, then he said goodbye and left, he has no heart to fight with Shi Xie, he wants to quickly return to his camp to secretly mobilize military horses, under the premise of hiding Shi Xie, send 10,000 Shu soldiers out of the camp in batches, ambush in advance near Tushan 20 miles away, and wait for the arrival of Ao Lie and Shi Xie.
Looking at Liu Bei's distant back, Shi Xie's eyes gradually became gloomy, and he muttered to himself in a low voice: "Liu Xuande, Liu Xuande, are you a hero or a traitor......
Two days passed quickly. At noon, when the winter sun would be gentle and radiate to the greatest extent in the world, Ao Lie came to the meeting place designated by Shixie as promised.
Riding on the Divine Horse's Shining Night Snow Dragon Horse, the overlord gun weighing one hundred and twenty-nine pounds was hanging next to the saddle, and Ao Lie looked very casual. It seems that he did not come to negotiate, but rather like an outing.
On the top of the earth mountain, Shi Xie had already seen Ao Lie in golden armor, and the moment he and Ao Lie's eyes met, Shi Xie saw many ingredients in Ao Lie's eyes, including perseverance, tolerance, sharpness, and wisdom...... And only I didn't see ambition. As soon as they met, Shi Xie couldn't help but have a good impression of Ao Lie, and this feeling was much stronger than when he first met Liu Bei.
Xinma came to the top of the earth mountain, Ao Lie turned over and dismounted, hugged his fist at Shixie and said: "There is a labor envoy waiting here, it is too late to come alone, please forgive me." ”
Seeing that Ao Lie's tone was very easy-going, without half a point of domineering, Shi Xie's favor towards Ao Lie increased a few points again, and he returned the salute to Ao Lie, and said with a smile: "I am really a little relieved that my brother and Wu Ju are not at ease, and I look forward to meeting the regent earlier, so I came early, and it is not that the regent is late." ”
"Brother Ling and General Wu are staying in the lonely camp, and there will be no shortage of cold hairs, please rest assured." Ao Lie smiled and continued: "Later, when Gu returns to the camp, he will send Brother Ling and General Wu Gong out of the camp. ”
Shi Xie didn't expect Ao Lie to agree to release Shi Yi and Wu Ju so easily, and said in surprise: "Is what the regent said true? ”
Ao Lie smiled: "Lone has always been true to his word, and he will definitely not regret it." However, before that, please let Jun and Gu enjoy a good show together, can you? ”
Glancing around with understanding, Shi Xie lowered his voice and asked, "What the regent said was a good show, but what about Liu Bei and Liu Xuande?" ”
Ao Lie was noncommittal, just smiled and said: "A good-looking drama must have a plot, from the beginning of the play to the climax to the end, this is a complete process." You don't have to worry, we sit down and drink while waiting for the show to start, and I guarantee that today's play is a wonderful drama that you have never seen. ”
With that, Ao Lie took off the wine bag from the back of the horse that was still in the night, and then made a gesture of invitation to Shi Xie, and the two drank on the top of the earth mountain...... (To be continued......)
