Xiangcheng.

The Eastern Wu soldiers dressed as the Western Shu Army have changed back to their original attire.

A few months ago, Zhuge Liang borrowed the troops of Eastern Wu to give Zhang Chao a trick, making him mistakenly believe that the main force of Western Shu had arrived in Xiangcheng, and this led to the defeat of Chun Yuqiong's 100,000 troops.

But from that time on, the Eastern Wu soldiers never left Xiangcheng, and Wei Yan, the general of Western Shu who was in charge of guarding here, still had a great opinion on this.

Because Wei Yan was not treated well by Zhuge Liang, shortly after Xishu forced back the Celestial Empire army, he was no longer the general of Jingzhou, but became the general of Xiangcheng. It was Guan Yu who took his place and held the military and political power of a state.

In this regard, Wei Yan wanted to say that he had no anger in his heart at all, it was impossible. It's just that it's Guan Yu who grabbed his position, and he can't send it out even if he has fire. Even if Liu Bei was appreciating him, it was impossible for him to summon his second brother and replace him.

has become a fact, Wei Yan also accepted his fate, thinking that it is no problem to be a Xiangcheng general, after all, this is the front line, if you make some military achievements, Zhuge Liang will know how powerful he is.

It's just that I didn't expect that the army of the Celestial Empire had not yet arrived, and the army of Eastern Wu had indeed come to Xiangcheng, and still lived in the city, especially the main general of the other party was Sun Ce, who was the eldest son of King Wu, the future new King of Wu.

For this matter, Wei Yan also wrote to Emperor Liu Bei of the Han Yuan Dynasty, but the reply he got was indeed for the alliance between Western Shu and Eastern Wu, and he hoped that he could focus on the overall situation.

Even Liu Bei said this, Wei Yan had no excuse to refuse, but he was not in charge of the city defense, but nested in his general's mansion every day, listening to music and reading books.

Wei Yan adapted to a comfortable life, regardless of military affairs, which made Sun Ce and Wei happy.

This time, at the request of Zhuge Liang, disguised as Xishu to send troops, the reason why Sun Ce agreed so happily was because he never thought about going back. If you invite him into Xiangcheng, then he will become the master here.

Sun Ce shared his idea with Zhou Yu, a military advisor and friend, and received support. Now it seems that their months of hard work have not been in vain, at least the current Xiangcheng defense has fallen into his hands.

The first step was completed, and then Zhou Yu gave Sun Ce another idea, to let his soldiers dress up as soldiers of the Celestial Empire, lead Wei Yan out of the city to fight, and then force Wei Yan out of Xiangcheng, not letting him come back.

Sun Ce listened to the plan and made some arrangements, and then soldiers wearing black armor appeared outside Xiangcheng, and the matter was reported to Wei Yan's mansion in the city as soon as possible.

Hearing that the Celestial Empire army had appeared, Wei Yan just wanted to behave well, so he hurriedly went to Sun Ce's mansion to discuss, and got a good result that he sent troops and the Eastern Wu would fully assist.

Wei Yan was fooled and took the 200,000 troops of Xishu out of Xiangcheng, so far, he has lost the initiative. When he found that the "Celestial Empire soldiers" outside the city had disappeared, and when he wanted to return to the city, he was blocked out.

Zhou Yu stood on top of the Xiangcheng tower, and the excuse he gave to Wei Yan was that even if the army of the Celestial Empire could appear for the first time, it was likely that there would be a second time, and for the sake of future safety, it would be better for the Xishu army to stay outside the city.

Zhou Yu's approach caused Wei Yanzi to be angry, but the hateful thing was that he was gullible to the other party, this time he went out of the city because of the hurry, and did not bring too much grain and grass, if he did not agree to the other party's request now, it was likely that the army's next meal would be a problem.

was held short, and Wei Yan had to bow his head. Of course, he also reported this matter to Emperor Liu Bei of the Han Yuan Dynasty, although he also knew that when the matter reached such an extent, he would be punished, but he really couldn't find a better way. He can't make a move on Dongwu, if this is the case, once Xu Huang and Xu Shu in Xuchang City know, it is still himself who suffers, and the big hat of cooperating with the coalition army is likely to be buckled on his head.

Wei Yan was used by Zhou Yu and transferred out of Xiangcheng, and he had to stay in a garrison called Meishan outside the city.

After some preparations, Wei Yan's army chose a mountain peak as a resting place. Fortunately, in the future, Soochow also sent troops to send them the food they needed, and the army did not die of hunger, but it was impossible to change the control of others.

Originally, he had the final say in Xiangcheng, but now he can't even go back to the city, it is impossible to say that Wei Yan does not have a little temper, but without the support of anyone, what he can do is really limited. Although Liu Bei is not thin on him and appreciates him very much, but now Prime Minister Zhuge Liang is leading the army to confront the army of the Celestial Empire in Shanglu City, and he really has no time to take care of his affairs.

The overall situation is like this, Wei Yan has to endure everything, even if he knows that Zhuge Liang will punish him for what he did next, but there seems to be no better way than to accept it.

Wei Yan had already accepted his fate, but what he didn't expect was that in his tent in Meishan, an unfamiliar guest came at night.

As soon as the person entered the account, he lifted the hat on his body, revealing a face with bright eyes, this person's eyes felt very bright, and at a glance he knew that he should not be an ordinary person.

"Who are you?" Suddenly seeing a stranger walk into the tent, Wei Yan's face showed anger, really, what are the soldiers under his command for, he was calculated by Dongwu, but now how can anyone enter his tent?

Seeing Wei Yan's displeased face, the person who came as if he hadn't seen it, and replied to the question: "General Wei Yan, do you know that you are about to come to a catastrophe?" ”

"You haven't told me who you are." Wei Yan also didn't seem to hear this, and asked rhetorically again.

"General Wei Yan, you were blasted out of Xiangcheng, did you ever think that once Prime Minister Zhuge knew about it, he would punish you like this, this is no different from losing the battle and losing the city, I'm afraid that even if you are punished with the heaviest military law, it is not okay." The man was still staring at the man with big eyes, and he didn't answer what he asked.

"Who the hell are you? If you don't say it, Hugh will blame me for calling someone. Wei Yan's face remained unchanged, but he was really surprised in his heart, because he knew that what the person in front of him said was right, with his and Zhuge Liang's usual disagreement, this time if he wanted to cure his own crimes, I was afraid that no one would say anything.

Although Wei Yan still questioned sharply, the person who came still did not reveal his identity, and said completely to himself: "General Wei Yan, don't be lucky. I can tell you the truth, if Zhuge Liang forces back the Celestial Empire army in Shanglu County, then his power will be even stronger, and it will be easier to punish you as a general who has lost the city. On the contrary, if he loses, he will definitely kill you, and use it to divert everyone's attention. In short, no matter what the outcome is, you won't be immune this time. Not only that, but I'm afraid that even your family in Jingzhou will also be affected, and they will also be killed and eradicated. ”

The man's words smashed on Wei Yan's heart word by word.

Before that, Wei Yan had indeed thought about his situation. It really made him put his hope on the battle of Shanglu City. In his opinion, if Xishu wins, he will naturally be happy, and when the time comes, Emperor Liu Bei of the Han Yuan Dynasty will be happy, and he can let himself go with just one sentence. On the contrary, if Xishu is defeated, Zhuge Liang's prestige will inevitably fall, and at that time, as a defeated minister, how could he control himself?

So, no matter how you look at it, Wei Yan is safe. But now that he heard this man say that whatever he has become, the result is dangerous, how can he accept it?

Wei Yan didn't ask who he was, but fell into deep thought, and the person who came finally breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, on the way here, he wasn't sure if the task of persuasion could be completed, and even he admitted that this time the behavior was a bit too risky.

But the current Wei Yan is indeed extremely dangerous, if he can't seize this opportunity to persuade him to surrender, I'm afraid he won't be able to find such a good opportunity in the future. After thinking about it, he decided to come anyway, and did his homework for it.

What he was worried about was not that he couldn't convince Wei Yan, but that he was worried that this person wouldn't listen to what he said at all, and directly cut himself.

As soon as the words were listened to by the other party, he knew that he had completed half of the task this time. Next, it's time for you to reveal your identity," Zhang Zhi met General Wei Yan. ”

"Your name is Zhang Zhi?" This time he didn't ask, but the other party said his name, which made Wei Yan's expression instantly become indifferent. If he wanted to say this name, he had indeed heard it before, and he still knew it from the allied Eastern Wu, as if it was their right army division Sima Yi who returned to the Celestial Empire under the persuasion of this person, and now he is still serving as the military advisor of the Dragoon Legion.

"Yes, I am the Zhang Zhi who persuaded Sima Junshi to submit to the Celestial Empire. Oh yes, now Sima Junshi can be said to have gotten what he wanted, becoming an important minister in the Celestial Empire, and a winner who can make his own decisions. Zhang Zhi looked at Wei Yan's reaction, and knew that this person had already guessed his identity, even if this was the case, there was no need for him to hide anything.

Zhang Zhi's confession, and even his generous statement, was indeed a bit unexpected by Wei Yan, thinking that the person who came turned out to be a minister of the Celestial Empire, his face turned cold, and then he pretended to be angry and asked, "The Celestial Empire is my enemy of Xishu, and now that you have recognized your identity, aren't you afraid that I will kill you to ask for credit?" ”
