Wen Yuan put the spear on Jiang Wei's neck and said angrily: "Okay, you Jiang Wei, why did you deceive me?" ”

Jiang Wei looked confused, gently pushed away the spear with his hand and said, "Sister Wen Yuan, we have something to say, why are you pointing a gun at me?" When have I ever deceived you? ”

Wen Yuan said angrily: "That day in Tianshui, you said that the princess of Dongxiang Cao Aya went to Wudu with Deng Ai, so I chased all the way to Wudu, and after arriving in Wudu, Deng Ai said that he had never seen Her Royal Highness the princess at all. You still say you didn't lie to me? ”

Jiang Wei spread his hands and said: "At that time, there was a shortage of soldiers, I thought that your princess followed Deng Ainan down, who knows where she went?" I'm just guessing, and I'm not lying to you! ”

Wen Yuan was a little anxious, "My princess is neither in Tianshui nor in Wudu, where did she go?" This is killing me! ”

Jiang Wei saw that Wen Yuan was obviously really anxious, and hurriedly comforted: "Sister Wen Yuan, don't worry, after our army captured Tianshui City, we have carefully counted in Tianshui City, and we have not found Dongxiang Princess Cao Aya, which at least shows that she did not die in Tianshui City!" ”

Wen Yuan's eyes lit up, "So Her Royal Highness the princess is still alive?" ”

Jiang Wei nodded and said, "If my expectations are good, Your Royal Highness the princess may have chosen the way to return to Luoyang under the escort of the guards." Maybe you can try to go to Luoyang to find out. ”

Wen Yuan asked again: "When you return to Luoyang, you must pass through Chang'an, have you seen my princess in Chang'an City?" ”

Jiang Wei said with a serious face: "Naturally, no, if I had seen it, I would have told you a long time ago." ”

At this time, Wen Yuan's face suddenly showed a gloomy and sad face, and the female general, who was usually majestic, looked like she was about to cry.

Jiang Wei couldn't stand this, and hurriedly asked with concern: "Sister Wen Yuan, don't be sad, don't you just go back to Luoyang?" What if your Dongxiang princess Cao Aya has really returned to Luoyang? On that day, Tianshui City was broken, and thousands of people escaped from the city, and it is very likely that Cao Aya was among them! ”

Unexpectedly, Wen Yuan didn't put away his grief at all, but became more and more sad.

Jiang Wei hurriedly asked Wen Yuan to sit down on the chair, poured her a cup of tea and handed it over, and asked with concern: "Sister Wen Yuan, why are you so sad, did something happen?" ”

Wen Yuan pondered for a long time before he said in a slur manner: "Jiang Wei, I'm ...... I want to ask you a favor! ”

Jiang Wei saw that Wen Yuan seemed to be difficult to speak, so he said heartily: "You are my unfinished wife, your business is my business, I didn't promise you, I owe you a favor, even if you go to the soup for you, I will not give up!" ”

Wen Yuan said: "My father was trapped in Shangyong City by Lu Xun's 60,000 troops of Dongwu Lu Xun, and now Shangyong City has been defeated repeatedly, and the number of troops in the city is less than 20,000, and it is in danger, I want to ask you to send troops to save my father!" ”

Jiang Wei was taken aback when he heard this: "What? Uncle was trapped in Shangyong City by Lu Xun? What's going on? Tell me about it. ”

Wen Yuan told Jiang Wei what she knew.

Originally from Lu Xun after breaking through Xinye City, the fleeing Wei army planned to flee all the way north to Wancheng, who expected Lu Xun to besiege Xinye for a long time, he had already prepared for this hand, and set up an ambush on the road from Xinye to Wancheng, ambushing the retreating Wei army.

The Wei army that withdrew from Xinye was almost completely annihilated, and only a little more than 1,000 people fled west to Shangyong.

In order to block the passage of Shu Han and Wei, Lu Xun gave priority to attacking Shangyong, and led an army of 60,000 to attack Shangyong.

Shangyong Taishou Shen led 30,000 Shangyong soldiers and horses out of the city to respond, was defeated by Lu Xun and led the army, and lost all the way, and when he returned to Shangyong City, the army had only about 20,000 left.

Now Wen Qin is injured, and Shangyong City is besieged by the army of Lu Xun of Eastern Wu, and it is dangerous. The scout risked his life to send out a distress letter from the mediocre in danger.

Wancheng refused to send troops to rescue on the grounds of insufficient troops; Chang'an City was besieged by Jiang Wei's 120,000-strong army, and it was unable to send troops to support. Wen Yuan begged Cao Zhi and Deng Ai, but although Cao Zhi and Deng Ai had the intention to rescue Shangyong, there was a Hanzhong between Wudu and Shangyong.

The Hanzhong city of Shu Han is heavily guarded, and there are many dangers, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if Cao Zhi and Deng Ai successfully broke through Hanzhong, I am afraid it will be too late to rescue Shangyong, so he is more than willing but not enough.

Wen Yuan saw that after all kinds of methods were exhausted and he couldn't save his father, he really had no choice, so he remembered that Jiang Wei once said that he owed himself a favor and must pay it back, and the Wen family was kind to the Jiang family, so he came to Chang'an alone to find Jiang Wei.

After listening to Wen Yuan's speech, Jiang Wei pondered for a moment, then nodded and said:

"Sister Wen Yuan, as long as it is your request, I will not hesitate to do it, but Dongwu is an ally of my Han Dynasty, if I directly send troops to reinforce Shangyong, it will inevitably lead to the breakdown of the Han-Wu alliance, so I still need to think of a foolproof strategy."

Wen Yuan was a little anxious: "I know that you must be difficult in this matter, but my father is in danger, only you can save him at the moment, if you can really rescue my father, I can promise you a request, I will agree to any conditions you make!" ”

"Sister Wen Yuan, don't say that, I, Jiang Wei, am by no means a person who takes advantage of people's danger, since I have agreed to this favor, I will definitely help, but you have to let me think of a suitable way."

After Jiang Wei's mind was racing for a while, he suddenly thought of a bold idea, and then he said to Wen Yuan: "Sister Wen Yuan, you can avoid it, I have already thought of an idea." ”

Immediately, Jiang Wei found Ma Dai and gave Ma Dai some instructions, Ma Dai nodded, and went down to prepare.

Then Jiang Wei found Chen Tai and Xiahou Ba, two captives, and said to them:

"Today I give you a chance to return to Cao Wei, you follow General Ma Dai to Shangyong, as a Chang'an reinforcement to rescue Shangyong, you will have 20,000 Liangzhou iron cavalry, on the surface you are the commander of this army wearing the uniform of the Wei army, in fact, the main general of the army is Ma Dai, but he will not appear in the open."

Chen Tai and Xiahou Ba looked at each other, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Jiang Wei's gourd?

Jiang Wei said: "As long as you lead this army to save General Wenqin, then in the future, whether you choose to return to Cao Wei or are willing to stay in our Han army to serve, I, Jiang Wei, will not stop you, and you will stay as you like." ”

Chen Tai suddenly remembered Jiang Wei's conversation with him after Guo Huai's funeral in Tianshui City, during which Jiang Wei had said that he would give Chen Tai a chance one day, and Chen Tai himself would decide whether to return to the Han or Cao Wei. originally thought that Jiang Wei was just a joke, but I didn't expect Jiang Wei to take it seriously.

And Xiahou Ba felt that Jiang Wei was going to send them to act in a play, and he felt that he didn't need to do this at all, if Jiang Wei regretted it, wouldn't it be in vain?

At this time, Jiang Wei called behind the curtain: "Sister Wen Yuan, come out!" ”

Wen Yuan walked out heroically. Xiahou Ba was taken aback:

"Wen Yuan, why are you here?"

Wen Yuan raised his head and said: "Don't worry, what Jiang Wei said is true, as long as the two of you help me rescue my father, Jiang Wei will definitely let the two of them go back to Dawei." ”

Jiang Wei also added with a smile: "Wen Yuan is my Jiang Wei's fiancée, you don't believe my words, you should believe her words!" ”

After Chen Tai and Xiahou Ba glanced at each other, they all bowed their hands to Jiang Wei and said, "Thank you, General Jiang Wei!" ”
