The Suzhou Guard Army in Chengdu City has the city defense troops under the command of Captain Huan Yi Sili, as well as the Guards Forbidden Army led by Wu Yi and the Wu Ban brothers. Since Liu Bei's defeat that year, Zhao Shu had the intention to change, so he transferred Liu Bei's cronies Xiang Favor from the position of Governor of the Forbidden Army to Xiangyang Taishou, and used Wu Yi, who had some friendship with him and was Liu Bei's wife's uncle, to lead the forbidden army. Over the past few years, the Wu Yi brothers have also deliberately curried favor with Zhao Shu, and the two sides get along very happily, so the governor of the forbidden army is still the two of them.

Although the Wu Yi brothers are not talented, they are also decent generals, fulfilling their duties, and personally taking turns to guard the palace every night, not seeking merit, but hoping to be guilty. This night happened to be Wu Ban's shift, originally according to the practice of the past, in the palace gates of various places, then to go back to the palace to rest, I don't want to only inspect half of today, I heard a guard panicked to come to report, claiming that someone rushed to the palace gate.

In recent years, under the governance of Zhao Shu and Jiang Wan and others, the people of Shu Han have been well-informed, and there has been no theft, and Chengdu is the imperial capital of Shu Han. There are Zhang Wei's Wudang troops stationed outside the city, as well as Wu Yi and Huan Yi's second armies, and there are other troops in the city defense, how can someone attack the palace without his knowledge? Wu Ban was shocked, and while rushing to the palace gate, he kept asking the sergeant who came to report. But the sergeant could not say why, only that the other party came suddenly, but did not attack the palace, but shouted outside to see His Majesty.

Since they don't attack the imperial city, they are not considered rebels, and as for forcing the palace to see them, could it be that someone imitates the ancients and implements military advice? However, the ten ** of Shu Han's military power are all in the hands of Zhao Shu, and the court has never heard of any contradictions between Zhao Shu and His Majesty recently, and I heard that His Majesty gave marriage in the morning, how could such a thing suddenly happen? Wu Ban felt that something was wrong, and he didn't dare to delay for a moment, so he hurried to the palace gate. From a distance, I saw that this piece of land was brightly lit, and people and horses were indeed neighing outside the palace wall, and I faintly heard someone shouting: "Please give your majesty to see, please give your majesty to see." ”

Most of the forbidden troops in the palace are gathered here, but no main general does not dare to act rashly, and now seeing Wu Ban coming, the captains of all departments are busy coming to greet them. Wu Ban was in the mood to be polite to them, so he just bowed his hand slightly, then stepped forward and asked, "Where are the people?" A lieutenant next to him replied: "There has never been a banner in the army, and the generals who lead the army are also very good, but it is only ......" Speaking of this, it seems that there is something unspeakable, and he does not dare to continue. The current situation is very dangerous, seeing that he is still spitting and spitting, Wu Ban couldn't help but be slightly annoyed, and said in a deep voice: "If you have something to say, if you make a mistake, I will never pursue it." ”

The other party saw that the official was colorful, so he attached it to Wu Ban's ear and said in a low voice: "Although there is no flag in the army, looking at the armor and weapons, it seems that General Zhang's subordinates are 'no army'." "If you have the courage to force the palace, the entire Shu Han Dynasty, except for Zhao Shu, naturally there will be no one else. After Wu Ban heard about it, he was not very surprised, but he still couldn't help but climb the high platform and look outside a few times in person. The Wudang army is considered to be Zhao Shu's army, and even ordinary soldiers wear chest armor, which is rare in Shu Han's army. Moreover, it is difficult to create "repeating crossbows", and in the past few years, the army has only made more than 30,000 pairs. In addition to Hanzhong, Jingzhou distributed 8,000 each, and Chengdu and Xichuan counties had less than 20,000 pairs, and only the non-commissioned officers in the Wudang army were handy. Looking at the black crossbow machines on the backs of those sergeants, Wu Ban could also tell whose subordinates they were at a glance.

But what puzzled Wu Ban was that since His Majesty ascended the throne, there had been no contradiction between him and Zhao Shu at all, and in two days, Zhao Shu was going to marry Empress Zhang's sister and become a brother-in-law with His Majesty, how could he launch a mutiny at this juncture? Thinking about it one step further, Zhao Shu really mutinied, which side should his brother stand on? Wu Ban smiled bitterly in his heart, shook his head slightly, calmed his mood, and shouted loudly outside the palace wall: "General Zhang is in the army?" Please come forward and answer. ”

Lu Rong heard Wu Ban's shout in the army, and since she promised Zhang Wei that she would take on tonight's affairs by herself, she stepped forward in person without waiting for Zhang Wei to get out of the horse and said, "What does General Wu have to say?" Lu Rong was dressed in a military uniform, and under the firelight, he couldn't see it very really, Wu Ban didn't recognize it for a while, but he felt familiar, and he finally recognized it after looking at it for a long time, and he was relieved in his heart. No wonder the sergeant came to report just now, and he didn't know the person who led the army, how could those low-level sergeants have seen the general's wife. Wu Ban saw that someone from the other party had come out to answer, so he replied: "General Zhang led troops outside the palace late at night, I don't know why?" Although he recognized Lu Rong, he still kept saying that it was Zhang Wei, hoping that things would turn around, because if Zhang Wei rebelled, it would be insignificant compared to Zhao Shu's rebellion.

Lu Rong also understood what he meant, and also knew that Zhang Wei could not bear such a big crime and risk, so he said loudly: "Uncle Zhang Shao rebelled, and he entered the city to suppress thieves on the order of the general, and came to the palace to escort him. Wu Ban didn't know what Lu Rong called "Zhang Shao's rebellion", but Zhao Shuquan leaned towards the government and the opposition, and he didn't need any evidence to say who rebelled. Therefore, Wu Ban did not argue with her about this matter, but said: "Since Zhang Shao rebelled, the general can go to the palace of his uncle, and there are guards of the Imperial Forest Army in the forbidden palace. Since Lu Rong came prepared, he naturally wouldn't transfer the army away because of Wu Ban's two innocuous sentences, so he said: "General Wu refuses to let someone see the holy face, isn't it also colluding with Zhang Shao to plot against him?" Today, a certain general ordered that he will not withdraw his troops if he does not see His Majesty well. ”

Wu Ban looked at the black and oppressive military horse in front of him, knowing that Lu Rong would not give up, listening to her tone, he was afraid that Zhang Shao would probably have died in Huangquan now, as long as the other party had no intention of invading the palace and hurting His Majesty, he would not be guilty of going against Zhao Shu, and he would also be charged with complicity with Zhang Shao. Then he replied, "In that case, the general will wait." So he retreated and asked left and right: "Have you sent someone to tell Your Majesty?" Left and right replied: "Someone has been sent to entertain Your Majesty, and there is no news for the time being." Wu Ban nodded, looking at the intentions of Lu Rong and the others, he probably would not forcibly attack the palace, otherwise he would have already started before he arrived. Now that things are like this, I had to ask Liu Chan to come forward to stabilize the situation, Wu Ban was afraid that others would not be able to invite Liu Chan to move, so he ordered his subordinates to guard the palace gate, and he strode to Liu Chan's dormitory to see him.
