Guan Xing, the most promising of the second-generation generals of Shu Han, died, and Zhao Shu was so sad that he not only stopped all preparations to attack Tianshui, but also retreated the army ten miles. When the news reached Tianshui City, the Wei army was overjoyed, and Chen Sheng and Cheng Wu also breathed a long sigh of relief, because they knew that as long as they could hold on to Tianshui, they would not threaten Cao Wei's country. But there are a few exceptions, such as Xiahou Mao, the chief general of the Wei army, who is very unhappy in his heart, for the simple reason that Han De, the general appointed by him, not only killed five fathers and sons, but also lost two games in a row, which can be regarded as a real loss of soldiers. And Chen Sheng led his troops out of the city, but he turned defeat into victory, and also killed the vanguard general of Shu Han.

As for the generals in the city, it seems that Chen Sheng is indeed a little more capable than Xiahou Mao, and with such a big victory, promotion is about to be just around the corner. And Xiahou Mao's position is afraid that it is not so stable, so there are those who see the wind faster, so they make do with setting up a banquet for Chen Sheng to celebrate his achievements. Chen Sheng couldn't shirk it, and he was willing to make more friends, so as not to fight alone again when he and Xiahou Mao quarreled again in the future, so he agreed. In the face of this celebration banquet, Xiahou Mao was even more angry, and refused to participate in it for some reason, so he drank alone in his tent.

The wine was sad, adding a little depression, and seeing that he was drunk, Xiahou Mao began to smash things to vent the resentment in his heart. After a few "ping-pong" sounds, I heard someone outside the tent whisper: "Is Xiahou Dudu here?" Xiahou Mao was in a bad mood at the moment, and was about to find a way to clean up three or two people, but he didn't want someone to send him to the door, so he asked, "Who is it?" I listened to the man outside: "The last general, Tianshui Gong Cao Jiangwei, asks to see the governor of the capital, and there are important matters to discuss." ”

A small Gong Cao is not disdainful of Xiahou Mao at all, or even if he wants to find trouble with someone, he will not find such an unpopular character. But the name "Jiang Wei", Xiahou Mao still has a little impression, it seems that it was because of his secret music that Zhang Liao was pulled off the horse, and Chen Sheng was also removed by Cao Pi, so there was a chance for Xiahou Mao to take charge of the forbidden army. Jiang Wei should have been promoted, but because Zhang Liao's father and son were killed by Cao Pi, Wen Qin and other old generals of Zhang Liao in Runan all resented Jiang Wei. The newly succeeded Cao Xiu did not dare to be angry, so he had to ask Cao Pi to transfer Jiang Wei back to the original Tianshui County to be used.

When Jiang Wei was transferred out of Tianshui because he lost his father since he was a child, he was looked down upon, and he originally wanted to make it happen, so he said a lot of big things when he left. But he never expected that less than a year after being transferred to Runan, he was sent back to Tianshui for use, although Cao Pi's holy decree stated that "it can be of great use". But if Ma Zun is too guarded, he still let him take his original position, and Jiang Wei's heart is naturally very dissatisfied. But under the eaves of others, he had to bow his head, Jiang Wei could only swallow his anger and sigh for bad luck. Now that he has finally waited for the opportunity again, Xiahou Mao and Chen Sheng's everything, Jiang Wei has seen it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, and he didn't see Xiahou Mao's shadow at today's celebration banquet, so he knew that Xiahou Mao must be sulking alone in his military tent. Xiahou Mao is the Cao Wei royal family, and he is favored by the emperor, Jiang Wei wanted to turn over the salted fish, so he naturally thought of him, so when the banquet was not over, he found an excuse to leave and asked to see Xiahou Mao in private.

Xiahou Mao himself is not a gentleman, and he is not dissatisfied with Jiang Wei's betrayal of Zhang Liao, thinking that he can even pull Zhang Liao off the horse, maybe he can also have a way to rectify Chen Sheng, so he was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said: "It turned out to be Jiang Gongcao, please come in quickly." Jiang Wei saw the mess all over the place when he entered the account, and he suddenly understood, but he deliberately asked: "Why is it so messy in the account of Xiahou Dudu?" Xiahou Mao didn't hide it, but said: "The governor of Pontus was displeased, so he threw something to vent." Why, Gong Cao is here for this? If this is the case, Gong Cao can leave on his own. ”

"The Metropolitan Governor is really fast-talking." Jiang Wei smiled slightly and said, "Since this is the case, the last general will get straight to the point." The Metropolitan Governor is not happy because of General Chen's great achievements? Although Xiahou Mao was indeed like this, he didn't dare to say anything about it, and then looked at Jiang Wei a few times, and said quietly: "Gong Cao misunderstood, General Chen's meritorious service is a blessing for the country, how can the governor of Pontus be displeased?" After hearing this, Jiang Wei laughed a few times before he hugged his fists and said: "Since this is the case, it is the end of the belly of the prince with the heart of a villain." Retire here. ”

As soon as Jiang Wei turned around and took two steps, Xiahou Mao shouted to stop him, and then walked to the tent curtain himself, ordered the guards outside to stay away, and then turned to Jiang Wei and said, "Jiang Gongcao has the heart to come, why do you want to leave like this?" Jiang Weifu smiled and said: "The governor of the capital refuses to treat each other with sincerity, and the general can only leave." Xiahou Mao knew that Jiang Wei was just trying to use himself as a step forward, and there must really be a way to help reverse the disadvantage, so he smiled and said: "Since this is the case, Mao will tell him frankly." I have always had a gap with Chen Sheng, and he has made this great achievement, but I am afraid that in the future, in front of His Majesty, there will be many wrongs. I have heard that Boyo has a wide range of schemes, but I don't know if there is anything to teach me? As he spoke, he took a deep splendour.

Jiang Wei hurriedly dodged sideways, and also returned the salute: "The last general really doesn't dare to be." Xiahou Mao grabbed Jiang Wei very affectionately and said, "Dare to be, dare to be." Nai pulled Jiang Wei into his seat and said, "I have tasted and heard about Boyo's great talent, and I have been friends with God for a long time." If it weren't for Your Majesty, how could you have learned about the rebellion of Zhang's father and son? I only hate Da Sima for using the advice of Wen Qin and others, and he played the tune of Bo to return to Tianshui to take up his post, and he couldn't see each other. I can see it today, and I am lucky. ”

Xiahou Mao was really cheeky, and he was able to say such sensual words in a short period of time, Jiang Wei was also a little disgusted when he heard it, but he made a very grateful and flattered expression on his face, and said: "Most of the governors have a reputation." Wei also knew that the Governor of the Metropolitan Corporal Lixian, so he sincerely came to vote, and hoped that the Metropolitan Governor would carry him. ”

"This nature, this nature." Xiahou Mao nodded again and again, but glanced at Jiang Wei from time to time, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "It's just that once Chen Sheng is praised by His Majesty, I will lose my position, and I am afraid that if I have the heart to help Boyo, I can't do anything." The two talked nonsense for a long time, and finally got to the point, Jiang Wei secretly scolded Xiahou Mao for being cunning, but fortunately he had a plan in his heart, so he asked unhurriedly: "Wei Si has a plan, but I don't know what the Metropolitan Governor's mind is, and he wants to make Chen Shengshengye?" Dead? ”

"Can you let him die?" Xiahou Mao suppressed the joy in his heart, but he still rushed to ask this sentence, knowing that he was speechless, and he was not in a hurry to hide it, so he had to ask again: "I wish to hear Boyo's clever plan." Jiang Wei was silent with a smile and was not in a hurry to answer. Xiahou Mao knew it in his heart, so he smiled and said: "Boyo is a talent, you don't have to go to Matthew's place tomorrow, and you will come to the military counselor military plane." After breaking Shu, he will enter Beijing with me, and Mao will try his best to protect it in front of His Majesty. ”

"Thank you for cultivating the Grand Governor." Jiang Wei also shook his head to the ground, and then stepped forward to whisper to Xiahou Mao, only to hear Xiahou Mao's face be happy, and he nodded again and again.
