The group had just arrived in Bashui and was about to cross the river, when suddenly Li Hei sent someone to report that the Jingzhou army had been found in Daba Mountain, and it was very likely that they were going to attack Xuanhan.

Du Hao was shocked: "This is a plan to attack the east and the west, Liu Qi seems to take Hanchang, but in fact, he is attacking from the north and south to seize the land of Badong." ”

"This Liu Qi is really scheming!" Pu Hu's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "He knows that Zhang Wei will rely on our Ba people to help us and eliminate us first, Zhang Wei is a grasshopper after the autumn, and he can't jump anymore." ”

Du Hao said: "Jiangzhou soldiers and horses have arrived in the ditch, saving soldiers is like fighting fire, this is three hundred miles to Hanchang, at least two days away, you and I can't leave lightly, it is better to invite Zhang Wei to come to discuss matters." ”

Pu Hu frowned and said, "I'm afraid that Zhang Wei won't dare to come." ”

Du Hao sighed: "So far, I don't know whether to say a sentence or not. ”

Pu Hu said seriously: "This king has already said that the seven surnames and the Ministry are equal, you and I will be a family in the future, and we will fight for the glory of the Ba people, but it doesn't hurt to say anything." ”

Du Hao called Pu Hu to the river alone, and said seriously: "My Ba people are originally great Han merits, what a glory, if there is no instigation of the Zhang Lu brothers, how can they be enemies of the Liu family?" In the past, Liu Zhang was weak and couldn't use people, and we could barely deal with him, but it was just a battle against Brazil. Now that Liu Qi and Liu Zhang have joined forces, just relying on this projectile land, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with a bird's egg, if you are not careful, it will cause the disaster of extermination, you and I will become sinners through the ages, what face will you have to meet those meritorious ancestors in the future? ”

Pu Hu sighed, looked at the rushing river and was silent, he didn't know the current situation, the tribe with seven surnames who thought they were strong in battle was vulnerable in front of Liu Qi's people.

After a long time, he said angrily: "Hundreds of years have passed, the descendants are content with pleasure and pampering, and my warriors are no longer the brave and good fighters of the year, which made the Central Plains people fearful." ”

Du Hao said: "After thinking about it, there is a plan to protect the Ba people, and the root cause of all this is on Zhang Wei, it is better to get rid of it......"

Seeing Du Hao make a gesture to wipe his neck, the corners of Pu Hu's eyes twitched slightly: "If you kill Zhang Wei, you can protect yourself?" ”

Du Hao said: "Liu Qi sent troops just to crusade against Zhang Wei, as long as this person is killed, we can see the opportunity to act: we can abide by the rules, and if we can't follow the rules, we will sacrifice Zhang Wei's head and push the guilt on him." Our Ba people were originally meritorious to the Han Dynasty, for the sake of the ancestor's face, as long as he admits his mistakes, he will not kill them all. ”

Pu Hu was moved when he heard it, anyway, the ancestors of the Ba people also helped Han Gaozu to fight the world, and it is not ashamed to submit to the descendants of the Liu family, which is called guarding the glory of the ancestors.

"As the king of Ba, I must take care of the overall situation, as long as I can protect my clansmen, what is it to confess to Liu Qi?" Pu Hu looked straight and asked again: "But Zhang Wei still has thousands of troops, how easy is it to kill him?" ”

Du Hao said: "As the king of Badong said, if I don't protect Badong, he Zhang Wei can't defend Bazhong, and when he survives, he will come." We ambushed the sword and axe man in the palace, and the king angered Zhang Wei with his words, and as long as he dared to make a move, he said that he was plotting to assassinate the king of Ba, and he was killed by throwing a cup. Then he sent someone to persuade Yang Ren to surrender, he had no choice but to take the opportunity to seize his military power, and then deal with Liu Qi and act at the opportunity. ”

"Okay, that's a great plan!" Pu Hu was overjoyed and grabbed Du Hao's arm: "With my two kings joining forces, just two Liu, how can I do it?" ”

The two returned to the team, Du Hao sent Wang Ping to invite Zhang Wei, Wang Ping hugged his fists and said: "The subordinates are humble, please give a token to the king of Ba, so that the king can be invited to Xuanhan." ”

Without hesitation, Pu Hu took off the tiger tooth necklace from his neck and handed it to Wang Ping, which was a token handed down by the kings of Ba in the past dynasties, which was enough to represent his identity.

Wang Ping carefully put it away, galloped away with a few Ba soldiers, and Du Hao and the others returned to the city to deploy matters.

Zhang Wei was training troops in Hanchang to investigate the movements of Micang Mountain and Langzhong, and learned that Zhang Fei divided his troops to attack Tangqu, and was even more worried that Pu Hu would not come.

When he was worried, the defenders came to report the arrival of the envoy and hurriedly greeted him, but when he saw that only one attendant Wang Ping had come, his heart suddenly sank, and he said unhappily: "What does this mean, King Yu?" ”

Wang Ping replied: "King Ba has arrived in Xuanhan, but because of the appearance of enemy troops in the ditch, he does not dare to stay away, and only wants to fight the enemy with King Jia......"

"How can you dare to deceive this king?" Zhang Wei was anxious and angry, and after making trouble for a long time, the Ba people reconciled themselves and put him aside?

Wang Ping hurriedly said: "King Yu persuaded him again and again, and King Ba agreed to join forces with the king, but he refused to come to Hanchang and asked the king to go to Xuanhan to discuss matters." ”

"Hmph, Pu Hu is so bold!" Zhang Wei's face turned blue with anger, and he paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, hesitating.

Wang Ping took out the tiger tooth necklace: "King Ba also knows that he is not Liu Qi's opponent, but the enemy is current, and he does not dare to leave the territory lightly, so he sent down to invite the king, this is a token of King Ba." ”

Zhang Wei took the necklace, confirmed that it was King Ba's, pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you have any words to explain when you come?" ”

Wang Ping replied: "The king has repeatedly instructed that everything is ready, and as long as the king arrives in Xuanhan, he can join forces to fight the enemy." ”

Zhang Wei knew that the enemy Du Hao was referring to was Pu Hu, and smiled coldly: "Pu Hu didn't dare to come to Hanchang, most of the time he was still afraid of this king, hmph, this time he must be good-looking." ”

Ordered someone to take Wang Ping down to rest, and asked Yang Ren to discuss, Du Hao tried his best to persuade King Ba to cooperate with Zhang Wei, obviously eager to get rid of Pu Hu, as long as Du Hao became the new King of Ba, the Ba people would be used by him again.

The two discussed, Yang Ren stayed in Hanchang, and Zhang Wei took 300 elite soldiers and Wang Ping to Xuanhan to prepare for the establishment of a new king.

When he arrived at the city, he saw Du Hao at the door, Zhang Wei dismounted and asked, "Where is King Ba?" ”

Du Hao replied: "A banquet has been prepared in the city, and the king of Ba is waiting in the palace. ”

"This Ba Wang is such a big shelf!" Zhang Wei pretended to be displeased, and asked in a low voice as he walked, "What is the situation in the city?" ”

Du Hao replied: "I came to greet the king first, it is for this reason, the house has been ambushed by the knife and axeman, when the time comes, as long as the king declares the crime of Pu Hu and smashes the cup, he can be killed immediately and beheaded." ”

Zhang Wei was relieved in his heart, nodded and smiled: "From today on, you will be the king of eternal ba!" ”

When they came to the mansion, Pu Hu and Yuan made an appointment to greet them, and the two pretended to greet each other and entered the mansion side by side.

At the end, Du Hao instructed Wang Ping to entertain Zhang Wei and Pu Hu's guards, and the banquet had already been set up in the courtyard, and each of them found a place to sit down, and they shouted at each other and ate and drank.

Zhang Wei saw that Pu Hu's personal guards were arranged outside, and secretly praised Du Hao for arranging it so carefully, and it was difficult for Pu Hu to escape today.

In the lobby, Zhang Wei sat in the main seat, Pu Hu and Du Hao lined up on the left and right, Yuan Yue and several leaders accompanied him, and after three rounds of drinking, he saw Wang Ping and Li Hu standing at the door quietly.

Du Hao frowned and said, "It's so noisy outside, it really disturbs our deliberations." ”

Pu Hu also waved his hand impatiently: "These boys, drinking wine and eating meat are more fighting than fighting, and they are arguing to death!" ”

Du Hao shouted to Wang Ping: "The two kings have important matters to discuss, and they still don't close the door?" ”

Zhang Wei watched Wang Ping close the door coldly, and laughed secretly in his heart, this Pu Hu didn't know that he was dying, and he was still putting on a stand like a king.

Pu Hu also pretended to drink and lowered his head and sneered, Zhang Wei was completely isolated and didn't realize it, what a fool!
