As Wei Ba said, there is a road transmission issued by his father, and the next road is smooth sailing, and he has not encountered any trouble at all. There was Dunwu rocking, Wei Ba and Jin Dongliu were sitting in the boat, watching the green mountains on both sides of the strait retreat briskly, this feeling was simply great.

With enough food, Jin Dongliu's body recovered quickly, and he never had a good injury, and he also closed his mouth under the treatment of the Wei family's haode injury medicine, leaving only a scar. This scar may stay with him for the rest of his life and become a memory for his whole life.

Five days later, they arrived in Anyang West. Wei Ba consulted Jin Dongliu's opinion. The road is to Chang'an, so it is necessary to turn north from here, go up against the straight water, and then abandon the boat and go ashore, walking through the Meridian Valley. If Jin Dongliu didn't want to go to Chang'an, Wei Ba could give him the boat and continue eastward from here, but there was no road transmission, so he could only sneak.

After careful consideration, Jin Dongliu decided to follow Wei Ba to Chang'an first. He was unfamiliar with the terrain of Hanzhong, and his accent was obviously wrong, so whether he got lost or was caught by a patrolling soldier, it was a very dangerous thing. And after going to Chang'an and revealing his identity, as long as Xiahou Mao sent someone to Wen Wancheng to confirm that his identity was true, he could return to Wancheng safely.

So Wei Ba took Jin Dongliu to the road of Meridian Valley. In Zhuge Liang's jihua, this was originally an important part. On the one hand, it is to let him personally experience the plank road of the Meridian Valley and evaluate the relevant details of the Meridian Valley, and on the other hand, through Jin Dongliu's mouth, the current situation of the rugged and difficult Meridian Valley will be conveyed to the ears of Xiahou Mao and even Sima Yi, so that they can further rest assured.

Regarding this, including Wei Yan, they will not deny that Meridian Valley is difficult to walk. Wei Yan's Jihua is based on the Wei family's military soldiers as the main force, and then selects foot soldiers who are good at walking mountain roads to carry out a surprise attack. Only such a person can quickly pass through the Meridian Valley, and ordinary county soldiers don't even think about it. As for Cao Wei's soldiers and horses, even the foot soldiers were struggling, not to mention the cavalry.

Because of the nuances of the quality of the soldiers on both sides. There will be preconceived errors in the degree of difficulty of looking at Meridian Valley. Zhuge Liang thinks that Jin Dongliu is just a middle talent, he can see that the Meridian Valley is difficult to walk, but he may not be able to think of it for both the Han and Wei sides. The Meridian Valley has a different role. Through his mouth, sending this information to Xiahou Mao's ears was more effective than Wei Ba himself saying.

In order to ensure that there are no major mistakes in this ring. Zhuge Liang had personally interrogated Jin Dongliu three times, but Jin Dongliu didn't know that it was Zhuge Liang himself who interrogated him, because Zhuge Liang appeared in front of him as Yang Yi, who joined the army in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

From this detail, Wei Ba once again experienced Zhuge Liang's caution. He remembered a famous prime minister in his previous life, and many people said that the prime minister who was almost a saint was as cautious as Zhuge Liang and as meticulous as everything. The only difference is that there is a stronger chairman above him who is in charge of the overall situation, so they can work together very well. And after Zhuge Liang lost the control of Liu Bei, the monarch, he exceeded the prime minister's original position, but backfired and did what he was not good at - with his character. Being a prime minister is quite perfect, but for the king of a country who controls the overall situation, he is a little powerless.

After all, all-round people are rare.

It took nearly twenty days for Wei Ba and his party to pass through the Meridian Valley. There is a hint that Wei Ba deliberately slowed down and created an illusion for Jin Dongliu, but it is indeed true that Meridian Valley is difficult to walk, with Wei Ba's current strength, it is also quite difficult to walk through Meridian Valley in ten days like Daddy Jihua. Wei Ba walked all the way, thinking about how to quickly repair the plank road and reduce the difficulty as much as possible. With the current jishuliliang, it is impossible for him to completely reduce the difficulty of the plank road, after all, even in the twenty-first century, the construction of the plank road is a big problem. However, it is still possible for him to conceive these methods, and then send them back to Chuyang, where Zhuge Liang will conduct detailed analysis, arrange people to try out the production, and make some useful tools.

At the end of February, Wei Ba and the three of them arrived at the northern end of Ziqian Valley.

Bypassing the Meridian Pass, standing on top of Nanshan Mountain, overlooking Chang'an City on the Weihe Plain, Wei Ba was silent, and his fingers behind him twitched a little nervously. Dunwu glanced at Wei Ba inadvertently, moved a step quietly, turned behind Jin Dongliu, and formed a horn with Wei Ba.

After more than 20 days of hard trekking, although Jin Dongliu lost a lot of weight, life in the wild also made him vigilant. He immediately realized the danger. He looked at Wei Ba, who was looking at Chang'an from afar: "Ziyu, do you want to kill me?" ”

Wei Ba smiled awkwardly, lowered his head, and kicked the pebble on the ground with his boot that was broken enough to see his thumb. "I don't know."

Jin Dongliu said: "I know what you're worried about, but please believe me, I owe you a life, and I will definitely give it back to you." Even if it can't help you, it won't hurt you. ”

Wei Ba hesitated for a while, then turned his head and looked into Jin Dongliu's eyes. Jin Dongliu looked at him quietly, refusing to be careless. He could guess Wei Ba's mood at the moment. Since Wei Ba wanted to flee incognito, of course he didn't want to be known about his whereabouts. If it were known that Wei Yan's son had fled to the Wei State, the powerful people of the Wei State would definitely treat him as a strange commodity and control him. Wei Ba himself may not die, but he will definitely lose his freedom from now on, and may even cause civil strife in Shu Han.

And zuihou a little, it is very likely to happen.

At this moment, Wei Ba made a killing move, and it was understandable to get rid of him, the only person who knew about it. He had endured so much hardship, of course he didn't want to die in the hands of Wei Ba after seeing Chang'an City.

Seeing Wei Ba's hesitation, Jin Dongliu's heart rose to his throat, and his palms were sweaty.

How did he know that Wei Ba was making a play, the most critical part of this deception was Jin Dongliu, how could he kill him after all the hard work to this point? But it is precisely because of this that Wei Ba must make this posture to deepen the fixed understanding that has been formed in Jin Dongliu's thoughts these days. If he doesn't play this play, maybe he will be suspicious when he will rethink all this. Wei Ba wanted to push back this time as much as possible, and it was best to let him not think about it at all.

Wei Ba's acting skills are getting better and better, but Jin Dongliu is getting more and more nervous, and the cold sweat quietly soaked his underwear.

"Ziyu, many friends and many roads, since you can't go back, if you want to survive in Wei, I always have a chance to help you." Jin Dongliu restrained his nervousness and continued to persuade: "Actually, I very much hope that you will go back to Wancheng with me, I believe that the hussar general is not the kind of person with a small belly, he will definitely reuse you." But if you don't like the hussar general, I can't force it. ”

Wei Ba seemed to be moved by Jin Dongliu's words, he smiled, waved his hand quietly, and Dun Wu took a step back and lifted his guard posture. "Not only am I not optimistic about that Sima scholar, but more importantly, the meticulous work he arranged is the culprit who has harmed me to this point, he Sima Yi is my indirect enemy, how can I surrender to him? You don't say any more. If I don't have anything to eat one day, go to you, General Jin, and hope you can make me a diner. ”

Jin Dongliu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a loud smile: "As long as you can afford me, no matter when you come, you will be my honored guest." ”

Wei Ba also breathed a sigh of relief, and seemed to let go of a heavy burden. "Then I'll be relieved."

Jin Dongliu said again: "If you want to go to Luoyang, you have to pass on the road, think of a name, I will help you deal with it, it should still be possible." ”

"That couldn't be better." Wei Ba scratched his head: "My name is Wei Xing, he is also called Dunwu, anyway, there are few people who know his name." ”

Jin Dongliu responded with a smile, discussed the details together, and then went down the mountain together and went straight to Chang'an City.

Outside Chang'an City, Jin Dongliu went straight to the military marquis guarding the city gate to show his identity. As soon as he heard that it was the general under the Wancheng Hussar General who had fled back from Hanzhong, the military marquis did not dare to slack off, and immediately invited Jin Dongliu to a hut next to the city gate, and asked people to arrange wine and food, and at the same time let people stay vigilant and not let anyone contact them. He rushed to General Anxi's mansion and reported to Xiahou Mao.

This is the benefit of Jin Dongliu's status as a general. Although the generals have been a little overflowing in recent years, the generals who lead 3,000 troops still have some status, especially since this general is still a close confidant of the hussar general Sima Yi. No matter what else you say, this delicious and delicious drink must not be missing. You must know that although Sima Yi is not very good at fighting, after all, he is one of the important generals who stand side by side with Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen, Jin Dongliu is not as valuable as Xiahou Mao's status, but with Sima Yi's relationship, he can't be sent away as an ordinary person.

Anxi General Xiahou Mao is the middle son of the former general Xiahou Mao, he is not the eldest son, but he has long been made a liehou. His wife is Cao Cao's eldest daughter, Princess Qinghe, and he and Cao Pi have been close friends since childhood.

However, Xiahou Mao has not been in a good mood recently. Since the beginning of last year, there has been constant news that Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu Han, led more than 100,000 troops to garrison Hanzhong, and there was a large intention to march into the army. Although he is from the general's gate, he doesn't like to fight, and the reason why he is willing to come to Guanzhong to be the general of Anxi is because after the death of Xiahou Yuan, Liu Bei occupied Hanzhong, but he was also greatly injured because Guan Yu defeated Maicheng, and he had a bad relationship with Sun Quan, and the direction of the army was in the east, not in the north. After the defeat of Liu Bei Yaoting, Shu Han disappeared from then on, and there was no news of the use of troops for many years, and Guanzhong was too peaceful, so he could be his general of Anxi and the governor of Guanzhong.

Now that Zhuge Liang is leading an army of 100,000 and has the intention of crusading, how can Xiahou Mao not be nervous? He was always looking forward to the news from Hanzhong, but he was afraid that if he heard the news from Hanzhong, he couldn't talk about the contradiction in his heart.

Compared with Zhuge Liang's future news, what made Xiahou Mao even more nervous was that his backyard was about to catch fire: Duke Qinghe was coming.
