The camp of Cao Wei's army, which is far away from Chengdu City:

After this battle, there were not many of Deng Ai's military horses left, and even the three thousand iron cavalry brought by Sima Yan were mostly lost.

Looking at the scattered camps, Sima Yan just sighed.

"The letter to King Chitose of Jin has been sent out for a long time, and it is estimated that help should arrive soon." Hao Yi, who was standing behind Sima Yan, comforted, "At that time, Hou Ye will still command thousands of troops and horses, don't blame yourself for this defeat." ”

Sima Yan smiled bitterly.

"It's Ben Hou who underestimated Liu Yong."

Hao Yi glanced around and lowered his voice: "Just now, a general next to General Zhong Tian inadvertently revealed that the Marquis of Yicheng has returned to General Zhong Tian's camp, but General Zhong Tian has been concealing it and not reporting it, I don't know what the intention is." ”

"Why, this guy wasn't burned to death?" Sima Yan was a little surprised.

"This, the lower official is also a little suspicious, and is about to send someone to investigate secretly."

Sima Yan's brows furrowed.

"General Zhong Tian is a rare brave general, and he has a gap with Sima Banru, how can he secretly take him in? This matter needs to be handled with caution. ”

"Xia Guan has long heard that General Zhong Tian has an affair with the maid next to the Marquis of Yicheng, will this matter have anything to do with her?"

Sima Yan suddenly smiled.

"Since there is such a good thing, Ben Hou should try his best to match. It's just that the army is outside, and there are many inconveniences, so I ask my uncle to get in touch with Liucheng Taishou as soon as possible, and we will temporarily enter Liucheng to wait for reinforcements. ”

"It's not right." Hao Yi had other ideas, "Liucheng originally belonged to Shudi, and its Taishou was forced to surrender under the pressure of Deng Ai, and now, our army is newly defeated, and General Deng Ai is no longer there, and the lower officials are afraid that this guy will be unfavorable to Hou Ye." ”

Sima Yan thought for a moment.

"Deng Aike has installed his own people?"

"Although there are people from Cao Wei, they are lonely, far less numerous than the old department of Shudi." Hao Yi replied.

Sima Yan pondered for a moment.

"Let someone go and hear and decide if it's feasible."

"Xia Guan knows." Hao Yi said.

Zhong Tian's vanguard camp was not very far from Sima Yan's Chinese army camp, and since the number of people was already small, almost any movement would alarm the people nearby.

When Wei Qing'er and Sima Banru first came here, it really made Zhong Tian nervous for a while.

Under Wei Qing'er's central notice, Zhong Tian finally gave up the decision to report the matter to Sima Yan.

"If it weren't for the face of Miss Qing'er, General Ben would have vowed to kill Sima Banru." Zhong Tian and Wei Qing'er sat opposite each other at a table, their eyes already bloodshot, "If it weren't for this greed, how could my newborn child die just now, and this general has no heirs to this day?" ”

Wei Qing'er's face was full of autumn water.

"Sima Banru is greedy and misguided, but he must be the husband of Her Royal Highness the princess of my family, and the little woman has been entrusted by Her Royal Highness the princess, and I hope that the general will not care about the past suspicions."

Zhong Tian looked at Wei Qing'er's little face.

Although she is just a maid, her appearance is not under her wife, not to mention that she is a famous family, and she is good friends with her, which can be regarded as the right person.

Outside the tent there was the sound of horses' hooves.

"The Marquis of Jiling City asked General Zhong Tian to go to the Chinese military camp to discuss matters."

Zhong Tian was stunned and let go of the hand that had just grabbed Wei Qing'er.

"The Marquis of Jiling City wants the general to come over, I'm afraid someone has revealed the news, and the Marquis wants to ask." Wei Qing'er guessed.

"General Ben thinks so, too." Zhong Tian stood up, "It's okay to do this, the Marquis of Jiling City has deep trust in General Ben, as long as General Ben explains a little, there will be no big deal." ”

Wei Qing'er smiled but said nothing.

Zhong Tian walked out of the big tent.

Just as he was about to get on his horse, a samurai ran up to him.

"General Zhong Tian, when the villain was looking for the camp, he caught a suspicious person, and found a letter from Chengdu City from his body, and the villain was afraid that something would happen, so he rushed to hand it over to the general." As he spoke, he handed a white silk scroll that was only the thickness of a finger into Zhong Tian's hand.

Zhong Tian unfolded it, but only glanced at it a few times, and then threw it away.

"This letter is just an ordinary letter from the people in the city, there is no need to make a fuss, you can continue to patrol the camp without the slightest slackness."

"Obey." Although the samurai was a little suspicious, he didn't dare to ask more, so he turned and left.

Zhong Tian also got on the horse and left.

The door of the big tent was opened, and Wei Qing'er poked her head out and saw at a glance that the white silk that had been covered with dust was honestly thrown on the ground.

Glancing around vigilantly, Wei Qing'er quickly leaned over to pick it up.

This was indeed a letter from Chengdu City, but to Wei Qing'er's surprise, the recipient was actually Sima Banru, and the signature was a woman named Lin Yuniang.

It turned out that Lin Yuniang had been trapped in the city and had not escaped several times, although Chen Ji was by his side, but his people were too insidious, and Lin Yuniang was afraid that he would be killed in the future. Finally seized the opportunity, she secretly wrote this letter to Sima Banru, and bribed a common man who went out of the city to do business.

In addition to begging Sima Banru to save her from the city in the past, the letter also provided a very important news: Liu Yongzheng was stepping up training outside the city, intending to send troops to recover the lost territory as soon as possible.

At the end of the letter, Chen Ji was also mentioned, claiming that as long as Sima Banru cooperated with Sima Yan to enter the army, Chen Ji would provide a very detailed layout of the Shu army.

Lin Yuniang also didn't know if Sima Banru had been burned to death, and writing this letter was completely out of luck.

Zhong Tian would not give Sima Banru such a chance, but for Wei Qing'er, the news was bigger than the sky.

Since he is still alive, he must remind Liu Yong that he must not give Chen Ji a chance.

After thinking about it for a moment, Wei Qing'er decided to take a risk.

Walking out of the tent, she just saw a team of patrolling soldiers passing by, and Wei Qing'er beckoned.

A samurai leading the group approached.

"What do you command?"

"It's not a big deal." Wei Qing'er pretended to be careless, "I just heard you wait for the words to catch a person from the capital, the little woman was about to ask about some things in the capital, just because the little girl's family is in the city, and now I don't know what to do, can the general let her come to see him?" ”

The samurai hesitated.

"It's just an ordinary person, even if the girl has seen it, I'm afraid she won't be able to inquire about anything."

Wei Qing'er smiled bitterly.

"Even so, it can be regarded as a little comfort to the little girl, and please ask the general to make it convenient."

The warrior knew that Wei Qing'er was Zhong Tian's favorite now, so he naturally didn't dare to offend, so he had to nod his head and agree, and ordered the person behind him to bring that person.

Not long after, the man was brought into Zhong Tian's big tent.

"The two of you are waiting here, and when Miss Qing'er finishes asking, you can let this person go." The samurai commanded the two soldiers.

The soldiers stood at the door of the tent.

In the big tent, after Wei Qing'er carefully inquired about some things in the city, she determined that he was really just an ordinary person, so she put her mind at ease and took out a big silver ingot from the back of the screen.

The people were shocked.

"The little and the little don't dare to accept such a heavy gift from the girl."

Wei Qing'er smiled, and suddenly whispered something in his ear. The people's faces changed abruptly, and after a long time, they gritted their teeth and nodded.
