Captain's battalion:

Without waiting to be stopped by Shen Yu's men and horses, the commander had already stopped the men and horses at a distance of seventy miles from Shangyong City, and ordered the soldiers to set up tents and make it look like they were going to be stationed for a long time.

The messengers who had been sent to deliver the letter returned to the camp on the morning of the third day.

"General Shen Yu didn't write a back and forth letter, but just asked the villain to bring back a message." The man replied to the captain, "Because he has not received the decree of the king of Jin, he is afraid that the general will be deceived here, and he wants the general to camp at least fifty miles from the city, and when the decree of the king of Jin Chitose arrives, he will definitely lead all the soldiers in the city to meet the general." ”

The lieutenant squinted his eyes slightly and thought for a moment.

"I'm afraid this Shen Yu has begun to suspect the intention of this general's coming, since this is the case, this general will not move for the time being, and wait for his soldiers to slack off, and it is not too late to enter the army."

"General Che Lieutenant really wants to occupy the mediocre?" The man asked.

"King Chitose of Jin asked General Ben to secretly investigate the cause of General Zhong Tian's death, I am afraid that Shen Yu is selfish, and I am afraid that he killed this guy by mistake. It's just that this guy didn't know the intention of the king of Jin, and insisted on entering the city according to the general, so the general had no choice but to act according to his own interests. The lieutenant replied.

"General Che Wei is extremely worried, and the villain also thinks this matter is suspicious." The man said.

The captain smiled: "Go down and rest." ”

"Obey." The man replied and withdrew from the tent, but instead of returning to his tent, he turned a corner and came to the front of Sima Banru's tent.

Originally, Che Wei came to Shangyong this time, and he didn't plan to take Sima Banru with him, but this guy was soft and hard, so he had to follow. He knew that Sima Yan already knew what he was hiding in Che Wei, and once he left Che Wei, it would be difficult for him to avoid the people sent by Sima Yan.

The lieutenant also had another plan for entering the army this time.

As Hao Yi said, he has the idea of occupying the mediocre.

As we said, Che Wei was already dissatisfied with the Sima family's monopoly of power, control of the government, and oppression of the Cao clan, but because his official position was too small at that time, and the position of Xuzhou did not allow him to openly oppose the Sima family. Shangyong is different, this is located in a fortress, the garrison is complete, and the terrain is complex and changeable, many mountains and forests, once he tears his face with Sima Yan, it is difficult for Sima Yan to conquer here in a short time. The most important thing is that it borders Shu Han, and if you take Wujun, you can raise troops to approach Hanzhong, and then even take the entire Western Shu.

Che Wei's thoughts are somewhat similar to Wang Si's, but their motives are different.

Wang Si intended to avenge the later lord Liu Chan, while Che Wei was to eliminate the "national thieves" and stabilize Cao Wei's Jiangshan Sheji.

The so-called "foolish loyalty", in the eyes of future generations, whether it is "foolish" or "loyal", its weight should be the same.

The man probed his head into Sima Banru's tent.

At this time, Sima Banru was drinking here alone.

According to his prior thoughts, he gave the 200,000 grains he had accidentally found to Che Lieutenant for nothing, which would give him another look at himself, even if he was not treated like a guest, at least he would become a cronie by his side. However, he didn't expect that the captain didn't seem to think about putting him in his eyes at all, and even the samurai beside him didn't look at him directly.

The feeling of being lifted to the sky and being trampled under his feet changed between a moment, and this feeling was really uncomfortable for him.

It is probably for this reason that Sima Banru will buy the people around Che Wei and ask him to bring his letter to Shen Yu in the city.

"Master Hou, the villain is back."

The man saw that Sima Banru was the only one in the big tent, so he called out in reassurance.

Sima Banru rolled his eyelids and glanced at him.

"Have you ever brought back Shen Yu's reply?"

The man leaned forward and took out Shen Yu's reply letter to Sima Banru from his bosom.

"The villain risked his life to bring this letter to Hou Ye, if it was discovered by the Che Lieutenant General, the villain's head would not be protected, and Hou Ye would not want to gain a foothold here."

"Ben Hou knows that if Ben Hou has the opportunity to develop in the future, he will definitely reward you heavily." Sima Banru said and took Shen Yu's reply and couldn't wait to unfold it.

In the letter, Shen Yu not only thanked Sima Banru for the information, but also mentioned the previous relationship between the two and made a heart-rending suggestion to him: wait for the opportunity to kill the captain.

Sima Banru slapped the letter on the table.

"Shen Yu, do you dare to think that Ben Hou is still as majestic as he used to be?"

The messenger stretched out his head and glanced at the letter.

General Shen Yu also said that it doesn't matter if Master Hou can't do it, he must be very brave in this guy. If you can't live here, Hou Ye can go to Shangyong City at any time, and General Shen Yu will treat Hou Ye like a brother as before. ”

"Well, it's like a human saying." Sima Banru breathed a sigh of relief.

"What else does Master Hou command?" The man asked.

Sima Banru thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "How do you look at the garrison strength in the city, can it compete with the captain's men and horses?" ”

"This ......," the man pondered for a moment, "most of the soldiers in the city are stationed in remote places, and the villains have not seen much, but in the woods and a few mountain passes outside the city, there are many horses hidden, and there should be no more than one or twenty thousand people in the tents connected together. ”

"So, this Shen Yu has already prepared?"

The man nodded.

"Shen Yu has been stationed here for many years, and he must be very familiar with the topography of this place, and his men and horses are stationed in places that are not easy to be discovered, and in the event of a war, they can quickly rush to help. From this point of view, the chances of the general Che Wei winning are not great. ”

Sima Banru's eyelids rolled a few times.

"Thou has the same opinion as Benhou."

The man pouted, but said nothing.

The night is coming.

There was a distance of nearly twenty miles between the men and horses of the Che Lieutenant and the men and horses of Shen Yu, and it was extremely difficult for even the patrol soldiers on both sides to see the situation on the other side, so they waited until a black shadow almost approached the gate of Shen Yu's camp before they were seen by the people here.

With a whistle, the soldiers in ambush on both sides of the road jumped out of the darkness and pressed the black shadow to the ground.

After the time of the meal, the man had already been brought to the door of Shen Yu's Zhongjun tent.

"The villain is waiting to catch the spy sent by the captain." One of the soldiers said loudly inside.

After a while, Shen Yu's voice came from inside: "Bring it in." ”

The man was pushed from behind, and he stumbled and almost fell into the tent.

"General Shen Yu, don't you even recognize Ben Hou?" The man's hands were tied, his eyes were covered with a coarse black cloth, and his mouth kept screaming.

Shen Yu was slightly stunned.

"Calling himself Ben Hou in front of General Ben, but you are tired of living?"

When the man heard the sound of Shen Yu pulling out his long sword, he was so frightened that he retreated again and again, and shouted indiscriminately, "Ben Hou is Sima Ban Confucian, and General Shen Yu must not be suspicious." ”

With a "brush", Shen Yu's long sword cut the rope on the man's arm, and then tore off the black cloth covering the man's face.

"Sure enough, it's Marquis Sima?" Shen Yu was surprised.

Sima Banru had palpitations, groped his wrist a few times with his hand, and found that he had not been hurt by the flesh, so he was relieved.

"I haven't seen him for many years, but General Shen Yu's demeanor is still the same."

Shen Yu put down his long sword and arched his hand and said, "Marquis Sima fled to the villain's camp at night, but he has already brought the head of the captain?" ”

Sima Banru's complexion changed slightly.

Shen Yu laughed and said, "Joking, Hou Ye is not strange." ”
