"Although Ma Chao's tent is boiling herbs, but these herbs should have just been put in to be tormented, his subordinates noticed that the pot used for decoction is still new, if Ma Chao has been taking medicine, then he should decoct medicine often, the pot used for decoction should have many stains, and the bottom of the pot should also have the appearance of being blackened by the fire, but all this is nothing. Also, when Ma Chao was talking to the Metropolitan Governor, he always coughed from time to time, although his voice was relatively weak, but he was full of energy, not like an old illness that did not heal, in addition, Ma Chao's forehead also had cold sweat, and the weather at this time was not hot, which showed that Ma Chao's heart was empty...... "Wen Ping was eloquent and light, and told Zhang Liao many doubts he had discovered.

Zhang Liaozai listened carefully to Wen Ping's words, and he was also suspicious of the doubts found by Wen Ping, because these were all things that he did not notice. He has been chatting with Ma Chao face-to-face, and it is difficult to find out as much as Wenpin. However, when he finally left, Zhang Liao deliberately pulled Ma Chao's hand, he felt that Ma Chao's palm was cold, there was not much temperature, and coupled with his face-to-face subtle observation, he did not notice Ma Chao's suspicions.

However, when Wen Pingjing said this, Zhang Liao didn't seem to dare to conclude whether Ma Chao was really sick or fake, and couldn't help frowning, not knowing what to do.

Seeing that Zhang Liao didn't speak, Wen Ping looked thoughtful, and he could guess that Zhang Liao must have listened to his words for 4 ∴. So, Wen Ping continued to Zhang Liao: "Governor, in fact, it is really simple to know whether Ma Chao is sick or not. Just send someone to Ma Chao's place. Everything will be understood. ”

"I can't even guess. Who has that much power? ”

"Although the Metropolitan Governor is Wen Taowu is strategic, he is still a layman when he sees a doctor, if you want to know whether Ma Chao is pretending to be sick, you only need to send a military doctor to give Ma Chao a pulse, and it will be clear." Wen Ping suggested.

"Pulse?" After Zhang Liao heard this, he laughed, "Do you think that the military doctor will definitely call the pulse?" They are just ordinary soldiers who can only treat bruises, trying to find someone to give Ma Chao a pulse. Be sure to find a real doctor. Besides, if Ma Chao was pretending, how could he easily ask the doctor to give him a pulse? ”

Wen Ping said: "The governor of the capital, don't hide it, I have a fellow countryman, who used to be a doctor, and later because of the war, he had to migrate to other places. The rest starved to death, by chance. I met him and recruited him into the army, and now he is in my army, and he usually shows the soldiers in my barracks if they have any diseases, big or small, and basically they are all cured by medicine. In medical skills, it is important to see, smell, ask, and cut, and cutting the pulse is the last step, which can be used or not. If Ma Chao is really pretending to be sick, as long as I let my fellow countrymen go there, I don't need to cut the pulse at all, and I will know whether Ma Chao is pretending to be sick or not. ”

"Since there is such a person, why didn't you say it earlier, if you said it earlier, you could let him go in with us this time, how can you say a second temptation?" Zhang Liao said with a slight annoyance.

Wen Ping said: "Most of the governors are angry, and the last general just thought of having such a person." Governor, do you want to send him to Ma Chao to find out now? ”

Zhang Liao said: "If you send a doctor to Ma Chao on the grounds of treating Ma Chao's illness, Ma Chao will definitely be on guard, which will increase the difficulty of spying......

In the middle of his words, Zhang Liao stopped abruptly, thought for a while, and then said to Wen Ping: "You let people go to my tent and take out the mink fur that the regent rewarded me, and let your fellow villagers give the mink fur to Ma Chao. In this way, it is possible for your fellow villagers to get close to Ma Chao and find out for us. ”

"Whoa!" Wen Ping's face was full of joy, and he hurriedly clenched his fists and said.

After that, Zhang Liao and Wen Ping separated, and Zhang Liao personally went to his camp tent to get the mink fur and then asked people to hand it over to Wen Ping. Wen Ping returned to his military camp and went to find his fellow villagers.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, first Gan Ning left the barracks with his troops without authorization, and then Ma Chao was seriously ill, everything was rushed together.

It is Huang Zhong who is responsible for tonight's patrol, and when it comes to the ugly, it will be Wenpin's turn to take over, seeing that the ugly time is about to arrive, Huang Zhong happened to inspect the vicinity of Wenpin's barracks, and saw that Wenpin's camp tent was brightly lit, so he couldn't help but laugh, and wanted to go in and ask Wenpin for a bowl of hot wine to drink, and drive away the chill on his body.

The patrol team continued to follow the route, but Huang Zhong broke away from the team alone and walked straight to Wen Ping's barracks.

Huang Zhong came to the outside of Wenpin's barracks, and the people in the barracks saw Huang Zhong coming, and they were all ready to salute one by one, Huang Zhong put his finger to his lips, shushed, and pointed to the night vigil soldiers around him who were drowsy because of overwork, and the soldiers did not salute.

Wenpin's subordinates were also Huang Zhong's subordinates, and later after Zhang Liao took office in Jingzhou, he took over the entire Jingzhou army, Zhang Liao became the supreme commander of the Jingzhou army, and Huang Zhong became the second person. However, many soldiers of the Jingzhou Army are still accustomed to regard Huang Zhong as the supreme commander in their hearts, and they also obey Huang Zhong's words.

This time, Huang Zhong came alone, and when he saw that the night vigil soldiers were very hard, he said to them: "No need to report, I can just go in by myself." ”

As soon as the words fell, Huang Zhong strode towards Wenpin's tent.

Wen Ping's personal soldiers were guarding outside the camp tent, and when they saw Huang Zhong coming, they were about to salute, but Huang Zhong refused, and at the same time signaled them not to make a report, and they were ready to give Wen Ping a surprise.

Wen Ping's personal soldiers didn't dare to offend this old boss, and Huang Zhong had a very high prestige in the Jingzhou army, so no one dared to do anything to him, not to mention that Wen Ping was still his subordinate before.

Huang Zhong walked straight to the tent and stepped into the tent, which was brightly lit, but he didn't see a single person.

The tent is divided into an inner tent and an outer tent, the outer tent is responsible for banqueting and reception, and the inner tent is used as a place for their own rest, and the middle is only separated by a roller curtain.

Huang Zhong saw that Wen Ping was not in the outer tent, so he walked lightly to the inner tent, wanting to surprise Wen Ping, who knew that he had just taken a step forward, and heard Wen Ping's voice coming out of the inner tent: "This time you go to Ma Chao, no matter whether Ma Chao is really sick or fake, after you come back, you have to say in front of the Metropolitan Governor that Ma Chao is not sick and is pretending to be sick." After the deed is done, the benefits are indispensable to yours, remember? ”

"But what if the Governor doesn't believe me?" Another voice rang out, with a hint of cowardice in it.

Wen Ping said: "You don't need to ask about this, you just need to do what I say, and leave the rest to me." ”

"That'...... All right. The small ones will do it. ”

"Go from the back and don't let people see you coming in."

After Huang Zhong heard this conversation, he was slightly stunned in his heart, he didn't know about Ma Chao's serious illness, but he could hear the meaning from Wen Ping's words. He didn't say anything, immediately turned around and withdrew from Wen Ping's camp, and when he passed Wen Ping's personal soldiers, he whispered to them: "General Wen is asleep, I don't want to disturb him, don't mention to him what I have been here, otherwise, with General Wen's personality, you should know what the consequences will be!" ”

The pro-soldiers glanced at each other and nodded, they didn't follow Wen Ping for long, but they knew Wen Ping's temper clearly, as Huang Zhong said, if Wen Ping knew that Huang Zhong had come to the camp during his sleep, then as pro-soldiers, they would be seriously derelict in their duties and would be severely punished.

As soon as they thought of this, the pro-soldiers were all apprehensive and did not dare to speak out.

Huang Zhong swaggered out of the tent, and when he passed through the gate, he used the same words to instruct the soldiers on the night watch. Due to the strict management of the army in peacetime, the soldiers did not dare to frolic in front of him, and they were frightened by Huang Zhong like this, and all the soldiers who met Huang Zhong did not dare to speak up, so that everyone kept silent, as if Huang Zhong had never come.

When Huang Zhong came out of the gate, Wen Ping walked out of the tent, he turned his face and asked the soldiers guarding outside the tent: "Did anyone come just now?" ”

"General Qiyu, no one has come." The soldiers all replied in unison.

Wen Ping scratched his head and said to himself: "Strange, then why do I feel like someone has been here?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Wen Ping asked the soldiers again: "Is there really no one who has come?" ”

"No one has ever been here!" The pro-soldiers unanimously agreed on this result, for fear of being punished.

Wen Ping didn't suspect anything anymore, and walked straight out, preparing to go to Zhang Liao's camp to report the situation.

Out of the gate, Wen Ping looked up at the night sky, looked at the time, it was almost ugly time, the time for the night patrol was approaching, but there was still a little time before the shift, enough for him to deal with Ma Chao's affairs.

Wen Ping went straight to the Chinese army camp where Zhang Liao was located, which was the important place of the entire military camp, because the commander Zhang Liao was located, so the guards were also very strict. But Wen Ping, as the general who led the Chinese army, the soldiers here are under his command, so he can come and go here at will without any restrictions.

Wen Ping came to the big tent of the Chinese army, and as soon as he arrived at the door of the big tent, he saw Huang Zhong walking out of it.

After Huang Zhong saw Wen Ping, there was a slight panic on his face, but then he calmed down again, and said to Wen Ping: "Zhongye, it's not yet time for the handover, why did you come so early?" ”

Wen Ping didn't answer and asked: "Does the old general have anything to do with the governor of Dadu?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just a report on something that needs to be reported. The old man was on official business, so he didn't talk much about it, so he said goodbye first. ”

As soon as the words fell, Huang Zhong left directly, Wen Ping looked at Huang Zhong's back, and secretly thought in his heart: "Old immortal thing, sooner or later one day I will trample you under my feet!" (To be continued.) )
