Wen Ping's heart was indeed like an arrow at this time, but even so, he reminded himself not to worry, and not to show a hurry in front of Liu Xuande. He said in his heart that if Liu Xuande suddenly changed his hexagram, then he really wouldn't want to leave Xiangyang City. Although he also knew that it was almost impossible to do this, but it was not, "Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case", is it, there is still a one in 10,000 miles, and it is absolutely impossible for him to be cautious.

Although Liu Bei really couldn't see anything about Wen Ping on the surface, he also knew that Wen Ping's heart was definitely not calm at this time. It's like a person who doesn't have much hope for something, but suddenly one day, he realizes that what he wants has come true, or what he wants suddenly gets it, or ......

The issuance of certificates is such a situation, and now he hires Wen Zhongye, in fact, this is the case-

Looking at Wen Ping, who was about to leave the house, Liu Bei smiled and said, "Zhongye, don't forget what I said before!" ”

That's it, but it scared Wen Ping a lot. He almost thought that Liu Bei had changed his hexagram, but fortunately, it turned out that this was not the case at all. It's just that he let himself remember what he said before, and as for that sentence, of course he understands, isn't it just that sentence, saying that he is always welcome in the army.

Although Liu Bei couldn't see Wen Ping's expression, looking at his back, he could indeed feel his nervousness just now.

At this time, he smiled again: "Zhongye, I, Liu Xuande, am actually the one who rebelled, you can leave with confidence." The soldiers have already prepared your horses and weapons, and you will be able to see them when you leave the house! ”

Wen Ping was already out of the house at this time, but he heard Liu Bei's words clearly. He said in his heart, aren't you Liu Xuande a person who goes back on his word? Maybe, but in addition to you Liu Xuande and your subordinates in the house before, there was only me. So even if you Liu Xuande is going back on your word, who knows the way in the world. As far as I know, what's the use? When the time comes, others can only believe you, but few people will believe in me.

If you want to say that Wen Ping knows it all in his heart. After he left the house, he did see his war horse and weapons. Xin said that Liu Xuande is not bad, at least return his war horses and weapons to himself, as long as he excludes Xiangyang City. Then the deposit is, "the sea is wide and the fish jumps." The sky is high and the birds can fly". I want to hurry back to Gangneung. Get ready for the battle.

Wen Ping's heart is clear, Liu Bei has always let his soldiers rest before, and now after he leaves, he will definitely lead his troops to Jiangling, so he naturally has to return to Jiangling quickly, and then it's not too late to make plans! ——

Gangneung. When Cai Mao heard that the Jingzhou army from Xiangyang was coming, he couldn't sit still. Yes, what are the Jingzhou soldiers who are defending in Xiangyang doing in Jiangling? It could be one thing. Then Xiangyang is lost, lost, and taken away!

To be honest, Cai Mao really didn't believe it, because Xiangyang was in Jingzhou, which was definitely a fortified city, but even so, it still didn't stop the enemy's attack.

Wait until he calls the soldier again, and asks. He understood everything, and he said that how the enemy army broke the city, it turned out that there was the help of Wei Yan, a traitor, so he was breached by someone, and the soldiers fled back in embarrassment.

And the current situation can be said to be unfavorable for your own side. Liu Xuande led his troops into Xiangyang City, Wei Yan surrendered to the enemy, and Wen Ping directly let people capture him alive, I don't know if Lu Dao and his people will surrender to Liu Bei, or can they escape back, or let Liu Bei go? But Cai Mao is absolutely almost impossible about this, but he doesn't know what to do, he said that it is impossible to think, but it has become possible-

Just when Cai Mao was still worried, a few days later, a group of soldiers returned from Xiangyang. said that it was a batch, but in fact, it was just a few people, but Cai Mao was absolutely, they may know more about the situation in Xiangyang City. This was Cai Mao's hunch, and he felt that they might know something.

Sure enough, Cai Mao asked the soldiers to bring them in, and after seeing this, Cai Mao asked directly: "Why did you rush back so late, you must know that the people have already returned to Jiangling City, but you ......"

Cai Mao saw that the soldier did not squeak, and he said again: "Why are you like this? Say! ”

As he spoke, he pointed to one of the soldiers and asked, "Since you don't speak, then you can talk first!" ”——

At this time, the soldier who was pointed at by Cai Mao saw that he was the most unlucky one, but fortunately, he was prepared, and he was ready to be the first to be called.

I only heard this soldier say: "Back to the general's words, after the city gate was opened by Wei Yan at that time, Liu Beijun took the opportunity to enter it. And after General Wen was captured alive, a few of us also knew that Lu Dao was not to be in love, so we were ready to escape, but, just ......"

Cai Mao frowned when she heard this, and slapped the table with her hand, "But, what is it, say it quickly, don't spit it out!" ”

"No! However, the enemy was so strong that night that many of those who tried to flee were killed, and a few of us were really afraid, so we took the opportunity to flee in the opposite direction. After all, we have been guarding Xiangyang for several years, so we are quite familiar with Xiangyang, and in this way, we escaped the enemy's search and hid in Xiangyang City until a few days ago! ”——

As soon as Cai Mao heard what the soldier said, to be honest, he believed it immediately. After all, this thing can be made up, and it looks like the person who said it so well. Then this must be true. To be honest, with their understanding of Xiangyang City, it is absolutely possible to escape Liu Beijun's pursuit.

It's just that Cai Mao knew that the soldier definitely didn't have anything to say, although he asked again: "How did you escape from Xiangyang after that?" ”

The soldier seemed to know the way, Cai Mao had to ask so, so he said directly: "General, because of Liu Beijun's laxity and negligence a few days ago, this is why a few of us have a chance." Then he secretly fled back to Gangneung! ”

Cai Mao nodded, his idea was very simple, no matter how strict Liu Beijun was, there would definitely be negligence, so a few soldiers took advantage of this opportunity. Secretly escaped from Xiangyang! Yes, that's how it should be. You can't go wrong with that-

However, these are indeed not Cai Mao's main concerns. So at this time, he still asked him what he was most concerned about, "I don't know if you heard anything in the past few days in Xiangyang City?" ”

As a result, as soon as he heard Cai Mao's words, the soldier who had been talking before had a somewhat embarrassed expression at this time. The meaning is too simple, that is, although he has been in Xiangyang City for a few days. But I really don't know what to do. Of course, this is just to deceive Cai Mao, they are all doing what Xu Shu and Liu Bei gave them.

As a result, the soldier shook his head, and then said to a person: "The third child." Tell me, have you heard anything in Xiangyang City that is useful to our army or related to our army? ”

I saw that the person who was the third child by the soldier smiled, and then said to Cai Mao: "General, the little one did hear something!" ”

Cai Mao frowned, and said in her heart that it was really so, they were their own lucky stars, and whatever they wanted, they would take out what they wanted for themselves, this is "someone sends a pillow when you are sleepy"——

Cai Mao asked, "I don't know what news you have heard about our army?" ”

The one named the third child said: "General, the little one heard that Wen Zhongye seems to have already surrendered to the enemy!" ”

When Cai Mao heard this, what did he say, you Liu Yan threw his hand to the enemy, and he has nothing. But why, now even the clerical employment is like this? ”

To be honest, Cai Mao really didn't expect that Wen Ping would also defect to the enemy. According to his understanding of Wen Ping, this thing seems to be really not his style, and then he asked: "I don't know if this matter is true?" ”

The soldier named Lao San shook his head, "General, this matter is just small hearsay, as for whether it is true or not, the little one does not dare to guarantee it!" But there is one more thing to tell the general! ”

"If you have something to say, you don't have to spit it out!"

"No! I heard that Wen Zhongye was in Xiangyang, and Liu Xuande entertained him very well. Every day is a banquet and hospitality, it has always been like this, and the little one wants to tell the general about this! ”

When Cai Mao heard this, he was indeed very puzzled. You said that Wen Ping did not defect to the enemy, but there is a testimony of soldiers, although it is hearsay, but the so-called "no wind and no waves", there must be a lot of things that you don't know. Moreover, Liu Xuande and his people set up banquets every day to entertain Wenpin, and this matter has to be taken seriously-

Cai Mao said to a few people: "A few of you go down to rest first, and by the way, go and get some rewards, a thousand dollars each!" ”

When several people heard this, they all thanked Cai Mao, after all, a thousand dollars per person is definitely not a small amount. The thousand dollars that Cai Mao said here can be said to be five baht dollars, so after listening to it, several people were happy in their hearts. After all, the temptation of thousands of dollars to them is definitely not less. As a soldier in the Jingzhou Army, the salary is only how much, so the soldiers are indeed people who are short of money, this is true.

Seeing that a few people were grateful to him, Cai Mao waved his hand, and then several soldiers retired. As for Cai Mao, he never suspected anything about these soldiers from beginning to end. It's not that Cai Mao is careless, but he really didn't think about it. For him. Can Liu Bei calculate his own side, anyway, he has never thought about it here. Because in his opinion, Liu Bei can still calculate Jiangling's self, how is this possible?

Of course, Cai Mao didn't know that people not only calculated him, but also included Wenpin, and they were also together. Or in fact, it should be said that Wenpin is the main purpose of Liu Bei's side. But Cai Mao didn't know anything, and at this time he was still thinking about Wenpin's defection to the enemy. In his opinion. Even if Wen Ping hasn't surrendered to the enemy now, he has almost been bought by Liu Bei -

It's a pity that Cai Mao doesn't know what to do, he is walking into the trap set by Xu Shu step by step without knowing it.

If you want to talk about this, it is in Xiangyang, Xu Shu and Liu Bei said that they had the idea they had in mind. Actually, he didn't think it was complicated. It was from the prisoners of the Jingzhou army that a few family members were selected in Xiangyang. Then let them implement their own plans. In fact, it is to let them say that they said this to Cai Mao today. As for them not to say it, it is impossible, because their family members have been taken care of by Liu Bei's soldiers. So if they want their families to be safe, they can only do it obediently.

And with Cai Mao's head, he didn't see through this plan at all. If Kuai Liang or Kuai Yue were here, the two of them might be able to understand the Dao. But Cai Mao, to be honest, is indeed far behind-

After letting go of a few Jingzhou soldiers, Liu Bei listened to Xu Shu's words. and deliberately let go of Wen Ping. Because for Liu Bei, instead of going to house arrest Wenpin like this, it is really better to make good use of him. If it really happens, then maybe not only Wenpin can be attached to him, but Jiangling may also be captured by himself, which is not necessarily.

Of course, what happens after the last, this still depends on the result of the worst, and although Liu Bei is a little anxious, he really doesn't reveal anything.

A day after Wen Ping had already left Xiangyang City, Liu Bei ordered the whole army to set off and rushed to Jiangling. Liu Bei knew that this is the only way to fight hard, after all, Jiangling is a strong city in the world, and it is definitely not something that can be broken by ordinary people. Even if there is an internal response, it is by no means possible to break the city at once-

After Wen Ping left Xiangyang City, he was indeed like an arrow, so he came to the outside of Jiangling City all the way without stopping.

As a result, before he could enter the city, the Jingzhou soldiers in Jiangling City surrounded him.

He said to the soldiers who surrounded him, "I am Wen Zhongye, what are you going to do?" ”

A soldier who looked like a leader said: "General Wen, we know that Lu Dao is General Wen, but this matter was ordered by General Cai himself, so the general should not make me wait for embarrassment!" ”

As soon as Wen Ping heard it, he understood that Cai Mao was going to deal with himself. As for why it is like this, it is not because he was captured by the enemy and then placed under house arrest, but he came back safe and sound, so Cai Mao also had to be suspicious. But how did Cai Mao know that he was coming back, could it be that he would count this? How can it be? But no matter what the situation is, now I have to solve this trouble first-

Glancing at the soldiers surrounding him, Wen Ping sighed lightly, and then everyone said: "Everyone, you don't have to do it, I'll go with you to see General Cai, how about it?" ”

The soldiers saw that Wen Ping really knew the current affairs, so they just didn't plan to do anything with Wen Ping. In any case, they all know that the ability of Wen Ping, that is definitely not the person who can be captured alive by these soldiers. And now he took the initiative to leave with himself and others, and it was not because everyone was from the Jingzhou Army, so he was like this.

But this is the best, but the soldier really doesn't want to do anything with Wenpin. In any case, at least before the matter is clear, it can be said that at least now he and Wenpin are still their own people, and they both belong to the Jingzhou Army. As for Wen Ping, he did think the same, after all, he was also from the Jingzhou Army, so although these people were rude to him, he didn't blame them, otherwise they would indeed be unlucky.

Wen Ping said in his heart at this time, now this matter, anyway, "is it a blessing or a curse, it is a disaster that cannot be avoided", after seeing Cai Mao, he knew what was going on today. But now, both himself and Cai Mao may be calculated. And now in Jingzhou, the only one who can have this ability and this motive is Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi, so this should be Liu Bei's backhand, a means to deal with himself and Cai Mao.
