On the way to retreat from the Yan army, Ao Lie ordered the division of troops, and Ma Chao and Pang De returned to Wudu with 50,000 Yan troops from Xiliang; Ao Lie took the other 70,000 horses and horses through Guanzhong, and then turned back to Yanjing from Guanzhong.

Ao Lie did this because there was something he needed to solve urgently. After Zhu Jun's death, Chang'an City was leaderless for a while, and it was easy to be attacked by Cao Cao, who retreated one step in advance, Ao Lie must rush to Chang'an as soon as possible to re-arm, until Liu Xie sent a new lord to guard Chang'an, he could leave with confidence.

After saying goodbye to Ma Chao, Ao Lie led his army on the road to Chang'an, and it was this decision that gave Ao Lie an unexpected windfall.

Outside Hanzhong City, Zhang Fei greeted the rising sun, and rode out of Hanzhong City alone, he looked up at the direction, and was about to move southwest, returning to Chengdu along the road, and then returning to Xiangyang from Chengdu, Mi Zhu's voice suddenly sounded from behind Zhang Fei: "Three generals go slowly!" ”

Zhang Fei turned his head, looked at Mi Zhu, and asked, "Where is Zizhong going?" Mi Zhu sat in a carriage, accompanied by more than 100 guards, it seems that Liu Bei sent him out on business. Mi Zhu stepped down from the carriage and answered Zhang Fei's question: "It's all to blame for that Cao Cao, who emptied a good Hanzhong city, and now there is a shortage of materials in the city, so the lord ordered a certain person to return to Chengdu quickly to transport a batch of supplies over." I want to go with the three generals, but I don't know where the three generals are going? ”

Zhang Fei had a dark face, and said angrily: "I'm going to Xiangyang to change my second brother." Mi Zhu asked curiously: "Do you want to replace General Guan?" Why is that? "Because Mi Zhu is Liu Bei's brother-in-law. At the beginning, he helped Liu Bei a lot and really formed a force of his own for Liu Bei, so Zhang Fei usually respected Mi Zhu, which caused Mi Zhu not to be as afraid of Zhang Fei as other civil officials.

Zhang Fei didn't say anything about the contradiction between him and Liu Bei, he didn't want people to know the rigid relationship between himself and Liu Bei, but asked Mi Zhu: "Zizhong, you are the eldest brother's henchman, and your sister-in-law is my sister-in-law, do you know why the military master of Lu Dao Pang came back from the dead, and why he finally joined the command of Brother Mo Han?" "Pang Tong's business. Or the means used by Liu Bei against Pang Tong. It is a knot that Zhang Fei can't untie, if he can't get a definite answer, Zhang Fei's heart will never be able to let go, and he doesn't know how to get along with Liu Bei in the future. From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to believe that Liu Bei would be a treacherous person. But. Pang Tong's matter was in front of him, which made Zhang Fei's heart very hesitant, eager to know the answer.

One mention of Pang Tong. The smile on Mi Zhu's face froze, and the scene outside the city resurfaced in his mind. At that time, Liu Bei pretended to be benevolent and gave his Lu Baoma and Jin Jia to Pang Tong, and let Pang Tong ride his horse and wear his clothes and armor to sneak attack the city from the road, and after Pang Tong set off, Liu Bei secretly let himself reveal the news to Zhang Ren, saying that Liu Bei would personally lead the army to attack the city from the path, induce Zhang Ren to plan and take most of the troops in the city to the road to set up an ambush, if it were not for Ao Lie's Dian Wei arrived in time, I am afraid that Pang Tong would have died unjustly.

However, Mi Zhu really didn't dare to tell the truth, if he said it, he would be tantamount to calling Liu Bei a gentleman, but he was actually a villain, and Liu Bei would definitely not spare him. So, Mi Zhu had no choice but to smile at Zhang Fei and said: "The three generals are the siblings of the lord, and they don't know about the Dao, how can they know the Dao?" Ah, the third general, I have to rush back to Chengdu as soon as possible, so I took the first step and said goodbye. With that, Mi Zhu turned around and walked back to the carriage, urging the coachman and the accompanying guards to set off quickly. He was afraid that he would be entangled by Zhang Fei, so he would get to the bottom of it, and never mention inviting Zhang Fei to go on the road together, and he couldn't wait to disappear from Zhang Fei's sight immediately.

Although Zhang Fei has a reckless temperament, it is by no means a time when he is not careful, looking at Mi Zhu's inconsistent behavior, Zhang Fei couldn't help but have a trace of doubt, urged him to step forward and stop Mi Zhu's frame, and asked sharply: "Zizhong, do you have the intention to hide it?" ”

Mi Zhu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, the three generals must not think about it, I really don't know." The more flustered Mi Zhu became, the more Zhang Fei was sure of the conjecture in his heart. Zhang Fei raised the Zhangba Snake Spear and pointed at Mi Zhu's throat in the air, and shouted: "If you don't tell the truth today, I will stab you out of a transparent hole with a spear!" ”

Zhang Fei's recklessness is well known, Mi Zhu felt a layer of cold sweat immediately oozing from his back under the sharp Zhangba snake spear, for fear that Zhang Fei's hand would shake, and the snake spear would stab down on his body, and hurriedly argued: "Three generals! If you have something to say, why bother with knives and guns. ”

"Do you say yes? I count to three, if you don't say it, don't blame me for not thinking about the old love! Zhang Fei didn't give an inch, and asked Mi Zhu in a tough tone, after all, this matter is too important for Zhang Fei, because it involves Liu Bei's image in Zhang Fei's mind.

"One!"

"Three generals, you ......"

"Two!"

"I really don't know......"

"Three!"

The spear moved with the sound, Zhang Fei's wrist twisted, and the Zhangba snake spear stabbed Mi Zhu's throat fiercely. Mi Zhu watched the snake spear stab at his throat rapidly, knowing that Zhang Fei was determined to ask the reason, and quickly calculated in his heart, Mi Zhu felt that if he was killed by Zhang Fei like this, it would be too wrong, although Mi Zhu was not greedy for life and afraid of death, but he would never want to die like this; If he told Zhang Fei what happened, with the brotherhood between Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei would definitely not tell others about it, as long as Liu Bei didn't let him know the truth, he shouldn't be in any danger.

After thinking about it, Mi Zhu hurriedly shouted: "Say so! The Zhangba Snake Spear stopped less than an inch away from Mi Zhu's throat, Mi Zhu could already clearly feel the coldness on the Zhangba Snake Spear, if he opened his mouth even in the blink of an eye, maybe Zhang Fei would really pierce his throat with a spear.

Raising his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, Mi Zhu said to Zhang Fei: "Third general, this matter is from Mi Zhu's mouth. In the ears of the three generals, don't let others know about it, ask the three generals to come to the carriage, Mi Zhu said that the three generals know. ”

Mi Zhu's words made Zhang Fei's heart tremble, he already had a premonition of ominousness, hurriedly turned over and dismounted, stepped onto Mi Zhu's carriage, entered the carriage with Mi Zhu, and talked quietly. Mi Zhu pretended to give Liu Bei a horse and armor to Pang Tongdan. Then let himself secretly report to Zhang Ren, the guard of the city. induced Zhang Ren to ambush Pang Tong, but let Liu Bei take the opportunity to seize the city and say it again.

Zhang Fei was also present at the time, but he never understood Liu Bei's intentions, and now he has been explained by Mi Zhu. Zhang Fei wondered at this time. It turned out that Liu Bei did this on purpose. There are two purposes, one is to successfully take the city, and the other is to take the city smoothly. just wanted Pang Tong to die at the hands of Zhang Ren. Liu Bei's first purpose, Zhang Fei can understand, but the second purpose, Zhang Fei can't understand it anyway, Liu Bei's behavior, in Zhang Fei's eyes, is a typical revenge, people Pang Tong tried his best to create a territory for his three brothers, but the eldest brother Liu Bei chose to sacrifice Pang Tong, this is not a favor and revenge What is it? How could this be something that Big Brother could do?

"Impossible, this is impossible, I don't believe that my eldest brother would do this, I don't believe it!" Zhang Fei was shocked by Mi Zhu's narration, and it was just impossible and unbelievable to turn over and over in his mouth, he couldn't accept that Liu Bei, the eldest brother who had always been respected by him, would do such a thing.

Mi Zhu sighed and comforted Zhang Fei: "Three generals, this is politics, politics is the most ruthless, the most ruthless and the most cruel game in this world, when Pang Tong is under the command of the lord, he never leaves the lord's side day and night, he already knows many habits of the lord, and he can see many of the lord's means clearly, when the overall situation of Yizhou has been decided, the lord will no longer let Pang Tong follow him, because Pang Tong is too clear about the weaknesses and shortcomings of the lord, which is for the lord, It's a potential danger. ”

"Why is this happening? How could Big Brother become so ruthless? Ah......" Zhang Fei couldn't bear the pain in his heart anymore, kicked the carriage of the carriage, then jumped off the carriage, ran to his war horse, turned over and jumped on the horse's back, regardless of the rush out, he didn't even care where the war horse was running, he couldn't care to see it.

"Three generals!" Mi Zhu hurriedly shouted to Zhang Fei, wanting Zhang Fei to calm down, but unfortunately, his voice did not stop Zhang Fei, who looked like crazy, and had to let Zhang Fei leave, Mi Zhu felt that Zhang Fei would definitely return to Liu Bei after some venting, after all, there was nearly twenty years of brotherhood between them, and nothing could not be said. However, Mi Zhu guessed wrong this time, he didn't expect that this would be the last time he and Zhang Fei met, and after that, until Mi Zhu was beheaded by Liu Bei, he didn't see Zhang Fei again.

Zhang Fei's thoughts were in a mess, for a person like him with an upright and reckless temperament, what Liu Bei did was beyond the scope of what he could bear, Liu Bei's tall and majestic image in his mind collapsed instantly, just like a high-rise building built by Zhang Fei with his own hands for twenty years, and it was destroyed in the blink of an eye, that kind of heartache, Zhang Fei couldn't describe it in words, he only felt that his heart hurt so much, ten times more painful than the severe pain last night!

In the gallop of the war horse, Zhang Fei sat on the horse's back in a daze, and was soon taken out of the distance of two miles by the war horse. Two miles away from Hanzhong City, there is a towering mountain, on weekdays, the residents of Hanzhong City, will go to this mountain to chop firewood, hunting, the fertile land at the foot of the mountain, is also a place for people to take care of and work hard.

Today, however, the people who came to this mountain stopped all their daily work and gathered in groups of three or five to look at the notices posted at the foot of the mountain, and those who were literate read aloud. These notices were specially ordered by Zhuge Liang to be posted when the Yan army retreated, saying that they were notices, but in fact, they were plagiarizing a letter from Zhang Ren, which was written by Zhang Ren to Ao Lie before he died in the battle. In the letter, Zhang Ren regarded Liu Bei as an outcast and lured himself to ambush Pang Tong, so that Liu Bei had a justifiable excuse to crusade against Yizhou and other insidious behaviors made public, and also proposed to Ao Lie in the letter to lead the troops into Sichuan, expose Liu Bei's ugly face in front of others, and save the people of Liangchuan from fire and water.

Zhang Ren's letter was copied by Zhuge Liang and scattered around Hanzhong City, the purpose of which was to let the residents of Hanzhong recognize Liu Bei's true face. Who is Zhuge Liang? The super strategist who did not think about victory and defeat, although he could not take Hanzhong this time, but Zhuge Liang was unwilling to let Liu Bei occupy Hanzhong comfortably, this move was enough for Liu Bei to be anxious for a while, and it could also be used for the Yan army to attack Hanzhong in the future and find the evidence of the famous division.

Zhang Fei overheard the people reading Zhang Ren's letter aloud, what was said in the letter was basically the same as what Pang Tong and Mi Zhu said, and it was more certain that Liu Bei had indeed done something that could be described as despicable and shameless, which made Zhang Fei's heart even more annoyed, and the pain in his heart became more and more intense, waving the horsewhip and beating him the belly of the war horse, Zhang Fei was desperate to leave this place, leaving these made him feel sad and people and things, it seemed that only in this way would his heartache be alleviated.
