Chapter 333: Each for his own selfish gain
Zhang Heng returned to the city and was discussing with everyone to rescue Wang Shuang, knowing that Liu Qi loved money and prepared money and food to redeem people.
Suddenly, the defenders reported that Wang Shuang had returned to the city, Zhang Heng was shocked, and hurriedly called him for questioning.
Zhang Heng was puzzled: "Although I know that Liu Qi treats prisoners well, he will never let them go easily, how can you come back?" ”
Wang Shuangyan said: "Liu Qi said that his father-in-law is also a hero of Xiliang, and he also rebelled to rescue him, so he should not be with Han Sui, let alone work for Cao thief. ”
"Huh?" Zhang Heng tugged at his beard and groaned, "Liu Qi really has this intention? ”
Zhang Heng is different from Yang Qiu and others, he was originally Dong Zhuo's old department, and after Dong Zhuo's death, Li Dao and others made a rebellion, so he killed Li Dao with Liang Xing, Duan Xuan and others and returned to his hometown in Longxi.
Later, Ma Teng was killed, Ma Chao raised troops to take revenge, and he also responded, Han Sui surrendered to Cao Cao and returned to Longxi, he didn't want to participate in the affairs of Liangzhou anymore, but he didn't expect Ma Chao to flee to Longxi
Originally, Ma Chao was trapped in Jincheng, thinking that he would definitely die, but who knew that he escaped death again, Han Sui told Zhang Heng that if Ma Chao was not eliminated together, no one would want to be spared if Weishui retreated at that time.
Han Sui and Cao Bing chased here, he knew that if he didn't agree, he would be immediately eliminated by Han Sui and had to be involved in it if he didn't wait for Ma Chao to take revenge.
Now seeing Liu Qi and Liu Qi leading the army westward to save Ma Chao, Zhang Heng feels more and more that there is no chance of winning this battle, Cao Cao is not Liu Qi's opponent, let alone Han Sui?
Seeing that Zhang Heng was still hesitating, Wang Shuang told Liu Qi what he said, and said: "Han Sui is ruthless, and he betrays all the righteous brothers, and wants to kill Ma Chao, this kind of repeated villain is unreliable." I look at Liu Qi's Han clan relatives, who are the real masters. ”
"At such a young age, what do you know?" Zhang Heng snorted coldly, there was more to this than just his life and death.
Just as he was hesitating, suddenly the guards came to report that Liang Xing had led troops outside the city and asked to meet.
Among the generals in Xiliang, he has the deepest friendship with Liang Xing, and Zhang Heng specifically asked Han Sui to send Liang Xing to help him fight this time, but he was not at ease enough with others.
Zhang Heng personally went out, welcomed Liang Xing into the city, and after taking a seat, he greeted him, and Liang Xing asked about the war.
Zhang Heng sighed: "Liu Qi's soldiers are strong and strong, and there are Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun to command the troops. ”
Liang Xing pointed at Wang Shuang and said suspiciously: "Isn't the virtuous nephew here?" ”
Zhang Hengyan said: "Liu Qi just put Wu'er back, intending to reconcile, saying that this time only Han Sui will be eliminated and Xiliang will be stabilized, as long as we abandon the darkness and turn to the light......"
Bang –
Liang Xing said angrily: "What is the abandonment of darkness and the light? We are waiting to obey Prime Minister Cao's orders and obey the edict to quell the chaos, but we are the teachers of justice, what is Liu Qi? ”
Zhang Hengyan said: "Liu Qi's Han clan relatives, reviving the Han family, Cao Cao ascended to the throne of Wei Gong, the heart of usurpation is obvious, Brother Liang should think twice!" ”
Liang Xing sneered: "It's nonsense, Prime Minister Cao Cheng serves the Son of Heaven, as long as Ma Chao is eliminated this time, we can be named the marquis and worship the general, and the glory of the ancestors, what can Liu Qi give?" Now we have an army of 100,000 in each department, and the victory is in our hands, and the virtuous brother cannot have it, and one wrong step will be a disaster! ”
Zhang Heng's face changed slightly, and he frowned: "But Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun are indeed brave, you and I are not their opponents, how can we be good?" ”
Liang Xing laughed and said: "Zhang Fei is just a reckless man, what is Zhao Yun's ability?" Brother Xian is invincible, see how I break the enemy later, and when Liu Qi is broken, don't you compete with me. ”
Zhang Heng sighed: "Zhang Fei and his martial arts are strong, no less than Ma Chao, and my brother cannot be underestimated. ”
Liang Xing said with a smile: "Brother Xian, Liu Qi deliberately put back the virtuous nephew, in order to buy people's hearts, this is a discordant plan, now there is General Han to help us earn credit, glory and wealth to share, if Ma Chao rises, you and I can be so free?" This land of Longxi is not owned by the virtuous brothers, rather than the head of the chicken than the queen of the ox, do you understand? ”
Zhang Heng hesitated again, he had been in Xiliang for many years, and he was used to being at ease, if he was really restrained by others and had no territory, he was indeed a little reluctant, and finally nodded and said: "Brother Liang is reasonable." ”
Liang Xing grabbed Zhang Heng's arm and said angrily: "I want you and me to join the army from Xiliang, from the pawn to the present, born and died for decades, which is stronger and which is weaker, where to go, is it better for you to see through it as a brother?" ”
Zhang Hengyan said: "I also remembered the old love back then, so I was honest with Brother Liang and discussed this matter. ”
Liang Xing said with a smile: "You just have to rest assured to defend the city, I will garrison troops outside the city, and the candidate horse on the north road will also arrive soon." When Liu Qi came from afar, he must have insufficient food and grass, and at that time, Liu Qi would definitely be defeated by a three-way attack. ”
Zhang Heng was determined in his heart, sent Liang Xing out of the city, set up a large camp along the river, and fought against Liu Qi inside and outside the city.
Seeing that Zhang Heng had changed his mind again, Wang Shuang hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, Liang Xing is definitely not Liu Qi's opponent, so you can't hesitate any longer." ”
Zhang Heng sneered: "How do you know my clever plan? Liang Xing is not of the same heart as me, he is outside the city, he will deal with Liu Qi's soldiers and horses first, and see how they win or lose, and then make a decision. ”
Wang Shuang was helpless, knowing that he couldn't persuade Zhang Heng, remembering Liu Qi's explanation, he didn't force it, so he had to give up temporarily.
I didn't feel that it was dark, and the Han army was also camped in the distance, and I couldn't help but be secretly anxious in my heart.
After dinner, Wang Shuang walked alone on the street to relieve his boredom, and suddenly the old Zhao of the iron shop said that he had hit a big knife and asked him to try it, and he happily went.
The two came to the backyard, but saw that it was empty, and Wang Shuangyi was stunned: "Where is the knife?" ”
Lao Zhao said with a smile: "The little general doesn't have to worry, the little one came to ask questions on the order of General Liu." ”
"What General Liu?" Wang Shuang was stunned, and then his face changed greatly, and his eyes widened and exclaimed, "You are ......"
"The little general is silent!" Lao Zhao hurriedly stopped him and said: "After General Liu saw you return to the city, Zhang Heng has not moved, I don't know what his intentions are, so he specially ordered a small person to come to inquire about the news." ”
Wang Shuang was shocked, this old Zhao blacksmith shop is an ancestral craft, and the ancestors have been in Lintao for generations, when did it become Liu Qi's fine work?
Lao Zhao appeased Wang Shuang and said in a low voice: "General Liu did not hesitate to expose his identity to contact the general, which shows that he trusts the little general, and you must not let him down." ”
Wang Shuang took a deep breath, calmed down, and said Zhang Heng's hesitation and hesitation by Liang Xing, and asked anxiously, "What should I do now?" ”
Lao Zhao smiled helplessly: "The little one is only responsible for delivering the message, and I don't know anything else, but the little general can rest assured, if General Liu has another explanation, I will contact you." ”
Wang Shuang asked, "When will I come again?" ”
Lao Zhao instructed: "If the little general sees a shovel hanging at the door of the shop, he can come to find the villain." ”
Wang Shuang's heart was determined, and it happened that all the meteor hammers were lost today, so he asked Lao Zhao to build three more overnight, which were hidden weapons for self-defense and life-saving, and they should be carried with them.
