Chapter 229: The Yellow Sparrow Follows

After the Wu army retreated, it did not completely withdraw, but withdrew from the camp forty miles outside Shangyong City, and continued to maintain pressure on Shangyong.

Because of the sudden attack by Wen Yuan, Chen Tai and Xiahou Ba's cavalry, the Wu army suffered heavy losses in this siege battle, losing nearly 4,000 soldiers on the battlefield and a large number of siege equipment.

If you want to attack Shangyong again, it will take some time to prepare again.

After the big victory, Wen Yuan and the others entered Shangyong City in a cheer in Shangyong City.

There are still 20,000 remnants of the army in Shangyong City, of which more than 10,000 are under the command of Shangyong Taishou Shen Tan, and most of the remaining troops are Lujiang soldiers brought by Wenqin from Lujiang, and a small half are Wancheng soldiers brought by Jingzhou Thorn Shi Hu Zhen from Wancheng.

Now Wen Yuan arrived with 20,000 elite cavalry, so that Wen Qin and others were overjoyed, after the gate was opened, Wen Qin, Hu Zhen, Shen Tan and others personally went to the city to meet the reinforcements.

Wen Yuan, Chen Tai, Xiahou Ba and others proudly led the army into Shangyong City.

After seeing Wen Qin, Wen Yuan quickly turned over and dismounted, and said to Wen Qin:

"The father is on top, the child is late to save the car, please punish the father!"

Wen Qin hurriedly helped Wen Yuan up, and laughed: "Fortunately, Yuan'er rescued in time, otherwise this Shangyong City, I'm afraid it has been broken, and I'm afraid you will never see your father again." ”

Hu Zhen and Shen Tan also came over, both of them had seen Wen Yuan's amazing martial arts in the city, and they couldn't help but praise Wen Yuan in unison for being a tiger father and a dogless girl.

Later, Chen Tai and Xiahou Ba also came forward and greeted the generals one by one.

Hu Zhen, as the assassin of Jingzhou, has always been very concerned about the war in Yongzhou, and when he suddenly saw Chen Tai, he was a little suspicious, so he asked:

"Wasn't General Chen captured by Jiang Wei last year? I don't know how I got rid of it? ”

Chen Tai said: "Not only me, but even General Xiahouba was captured by the Shu army, and it was General Wen Yuan who saved me and waited for me!" ”

As soon as Hu Zhen heard that Wen Yuan rescued him, he felt that everything was reasonable, and with Wen Yuan's martial arts, wouldn't it be easy to save one or two people.

After the army slowly entered the city, Shangyong Taishou Shen held a banquet to entertain everyone who came to help.

On the battlefield of Jingzhou, the Wei army was pressed and beaten by Lu Xun of Eastern Wu for nearly a month, the soldiers were seriously damaged, and the morale also fell to the bottom, and now they finally fought a beautiful counterattack, and everyone was very happy.

After being full of wine and food, Wen Qin asked Wen Yuandao suspiciously: "Yuan'er, your support army is from Chang'an?" ”

Wen Yuan nodded obediently.

Wen Qin asked curiously: "My father heard that Chang'an City is being besieged by Jiang Wei's 120,000 troops, how can he draw 20,000 cavalry to help?" When did this Xiahou Nan become so generous? ”

Wen Yuan saw that he couldn't prevaricate, so he covered his hands and whispered in Wen Qin's ear, "This reinforcement is not sent by Xiahou Nan, it is borrowed from Jiang Wei's soldiers." ”

"What?!" Wen Qin pulled away and exclaimed loudly.

Wen Qin shouted loudly, which surprised everyone present, and Shen Tan hurriedly asked, "General Wen, what's wrong?" ”

Wen Qin hurriedly said embarrassedly, "No ......, nothing, you continue, continue!" ”

Seeing that everyone continued to drink and laugh, Wen Qincai continued to ask: "You kid, Hutu, why did you go to the enemy country to borrow troops, even if you save Shangyong City, what can you do?" Now that the Shu army has entered Shangyong City, I'm afraid it will be chaotic soon, right? ”

Wen Yuan said: "In order to save his father, the child couldn't think of a way anymore, so he had to find Jiang Wei, who still remembered the kindness of our Wen family, and immediately agreed to borrow soldiers." ”

Wen Qin is now a little big and big, and he feels that his daughter has done something that should not be done in order to save herself, and now that the Shu army has entered the city, and they are all elite cavalry, in case of a sudden attack in the city, maybe you can easily capture Shangyong City.

Then he asked, "Who else knows about this?" ”

Wen Yuan looked at Chen Tai and Xiahou Ba and said: "General Chen Tai and General Xiahou Ba are both insiders, Jiang Wei said when he borrowed troops that as long as Chen Tai and Xiahou Ba helped me rescue my father, I would let the two return to Great Wei." ”

Wen Qin was a little incredulous, thinking that Chen Tai was known for his talents, and he was the son of Chen Qun, the minister of Gu Ming, how could he commit this kind of lake.

So he planned to arrange the troops under his command as soon as possible to disarm the troops borrowed by the Shu army.

Of course, it is best to be able to surrender this army, and Wen Qin still appreciates the combat effectiveness of this cavalry, if he can't surrender, at least he must control it, so as not to cause chaos in the city.

Wen Yuan saw that Wen Qin seemed to want to take action, so he told Wen Qin:

"Father don't have to worry, Jiang Wei agreed to borrow troops, is to repay our family's kindness, this army will leave Shangyong in a few days, if my father is worried that this army will be in chaos, with the strength of the child, plus the army in the city, they will definitely not be in chaos. Disarming them at this time will be laughed at. ”

Wen Qin thought about it and felt that it made sense, if he didn't tell it, Hu Zhen and Shen Tan would not know that the reinforcements actually came from Jiang Wei. In this way, as long as the Shu army finds a reason to leave on its own in a few days, then this matter can be passed peacefully.

If he had to disarm the cavalry of the Shu army at this time, it would inevitably cause a counterattack by the Shu army in the city, and everyone would tear their faces at that time, but it would give Dongwu an opportunity to take advantage of.

Presumably, Chen Tai and Xiahou Ba deliberately didn't say anything, and they also had similar thoughts!

So Wen Qin accepted Wen Yuan's opinion and pretended not to know anything for the time being, and Wen Yuan also quietly told Wen Qin that Jiang Wei had proposed to marry Wen Yuan several times. But Wen Yuan always took Jiang Weixiu off the silver screen as a condition, and did not agree.

Wen Qin could see from the pink color on his face when Wen Yuan talked about this incident that his daughter was moved by Jiang Wei, but she was embarrassed to admit it because of her embarrassment.

Since Jiang Wei can risk the disapproval of the world and borrow soldiers to save himself, it can be seen that this Jiang Wei is indeed a man with affection and righteousness, not as unkind as he thought at the beginning, only Jiang Wei belongs to the Shu Han camp, if he can persuade Jiang Wei to return to Dawei, he is very willing to promote this marriage.

Ma Dai's 20,000 Liangzhou iron cavalry elites rested in Shangyong City for three days, and Ma Dai found an opportunity to say to Wen Yuan that he was ready to return to Chang'an, hoping that Wen Yuan could let Hu Zhen send customs clearance documents.

Wen Yuan saw that the Shu army really valued faithfulness, so he happily asked Hu Zhen for the customs clearance documents and handed them to Ma Dai.

Chen Tai and Xiahou Ba, after arriving in Chang'an, were reluctant to return to Chang'an, but they were willing to keep the secret of borrowing troops for Ma Dai, and Ma Dai did not force it, after all, Jiang Wei promised to let the two go back to Cao Wei before leaving.

Ma Dai originally planned to rest for another day, so he set off north and returned to Chang'an.

Unexpectedly, in the early morning of the next day, before Ma Dai's army had started, there was a rumbling war drum outside the city, as well as overwhelming shouts of killing, and the herald quickly came to report.

The Shu army in Hanzhong came to attack Shangyong, and the army was led by the Shu generals Liao Hua and Dong Ju.

Wen Yuan was frowning, thinking about why the Shu army suddenly came to attack Shangyong, but Chen Tai saw through the situation in front of him at a glance, and said to Wen Yuan with a wry smile:

"I said, then how could Jiang Wei let me go so easily? Sure enough, the Shu army still came, and a good move for the praying mantis to catch cicadas and yellow finches is behind! ”
