Chapter 579: A clever trick to force back 50,000 soldiers

?Just when all parties were suspicious and secretly plotting, the Shadow Team members who were mixed in the caravan finally returned to Wudu separately and reported the news of Zhao Hu's arrest to Jia Xu.

Continuing to make a brief analysis, he said with a relaxed look: "Whether Sima Fang is really awake or fake, Zhao Hu has no worries about his life. We will hold on for the time being and wait for news from the Sima family in Chengdu. If my speculation is good, Sima Lang will definitely send someone to negotiate with us within five days, threaten Zhao Hu's life and ask us to come out with the antidote."

Tian Feng said: "We caught Zhang Yi first, and then the Sima family arrested Zhao Hu. It should be fair to exchange these two people with each other, and if Yizhou still asks us for an antidote, we have to take out the corresponding chips!"

Jia Xu nodded and smiled, "I guess Sima Lang is using the abacus to let the Yizhou army retreat as a bargaining chip to cure Sima Fang, so we must seize the time to drive Sima Yi and Zhang Ren out of Wudu in these few days, so that the Sima family's abacus could fail, and come up with the exchange conditions that would make us excited again!"

Zhang Xiu suggested: "The master has arrived at Shanglu. Can you arrange for him to meet with the senior brother now, which makes Sima Yi even more suspicious?"

Jia Xu nodded and said, "It's time to go to Ju County with the handwritten letter from Master Ling. Just hand it over to Zhang Ren's handwritten letter. It doesn't matter whether he comes or not."

So Zhang Xiu once again brought five hundred cavalry to the city of Ju County, raised his hand and shot a long arrow with a letter to the top of the city, and then shouted to the officers and soldiers guarding the city: "Everyone has seen it! Today I came to send a message on behalf of the army and invited General Zhang Tingfu to go to the bank of the Western Han River in three days to see you, and discuss important matters!"

The soldiers guarding the city did not know that this letter was a plan, so they had to bite the bullet and take the secret letter from the arrow shaft and send it to Zhang Ren's account. Zhang Ren, who had been in a bad mood recently, saw his subordinates sending a secret letter, and thought it was sent by someone from Sima Yi. Without asking much, he reached out and took it over and opened it to read it. However, when he saw the content of the letter, he was a little confused.

The letter in Zhang Ren's hand was written by Tong Yuan. The letter did not mean to persuade his disciples to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. It only mentioned that he heard that his two disciples have become rivals on the battlefield, so he was very worried and rushed to Wudu, hoping to mediate the conflict between the eldest disciple and the second disciple, and made an appointment to meet on the bank of the Western Han River five days later.

Zhang Ren sighed with some depression: "Master, you have caused trouble to your disciple without any intention this time! My second junior brother and I are their own masters, and there is no hatred in private. Liangguo and Yizhou need to resolve the conflict. Your letter makes your disciple very embarrassed. Go, it will make Sima Yi suspicious of me; if you don't go, it will make your disciple bear the reputation of being disrespectful and unfilial, which is really painful!"

Just when Zhang Ren was still feeling depressed whether to go to see his master, a few spies from the Sima family came out of Ju County and rushed towards Hechi City. Seeing that the situation seemed to be important, they reported to Sima Yi. After walking a short distance from the city, they walked through a hill and woods. As they walked, suddenly one of them rolled down from the horse's back, and the rest heard arrows ringing in the dense forest.

"Oh no, we were ambushed! Hurry up and take the brothers who were dismissed to change their courses and act separately!" Several dead soldiers from the Sima family quickly acted separately. Someone pulled the brothers who were dismissed to the horse and ran away far away.

When several spies who reported the message to Sima Yi arrived at Hechi City, only two were left uninjured. The other three were unconscious after being caught in the arrow and fell into a coma. They didn't know whether they were dead or alive. The two reported to Sima Yi about Zhang Xiu's archery and passing the letter, and also told them about the ambush he encountered on the road.

When Sima Yi heard the spy say that three subordinates were now poisoned and coma, his heart skipped a beat and immediately asked, "Where are the three unconscious people now?"

A spy replied: "Because of his urgency to report the news to the prefect, he temporarily placed his unconscious brother in the homes of the people along the road."

"Take people quickly and bring them back to Hechi City!" Sima Yi immediately ordered.

After another half a day, a spy who went to pick up people returned to Hechi in panic. He reported to Sima Yi: "The people in that household were missing, and the three brothers placed in their family were also missing!"

"It's true! It seems that Zhang Ren is afraid that he has two hearts!" Sima Yi sighed in his heart, and then said to the two spies: "Now that your identities have been revealed by Zhang Ren, don't return to Ju County. Send your capable brothers to Ju County to continue to pay attention to Zhang Ren's actions. If Zhang Ren sets out to meet his master in five days, report to me immediately!"

Some strange events that have happened one after another in the past few days have made Sima Yi change from suspicion to alert and guard against Zhang Ren. Now he is even more worried that Zhang Ren will lead his army to rebel after seeing Tong Yuan. There are many things that are open and secretly related to Zhang Ren, such as why Zhang Xiu was able to go deep into Guanghan and enter a state of no one? Why is the poison in the Sima family's secret spies similar to the symptoms of Sima Fang's poisoning described in the letter from Chengdu? Tong Yuan asked his disciples to discuss it with important things. What kind of important things are they?

During the anxious waiting of many people, five days finally passed. After a fierce ideological struggle, Zhang Ren decided to go to meet his master in person, and thoroughly explained some words so that the master would not get involved in the affairs between his apprentices in the future. In order to show that he was selfless, Zhang Ren also brought two deputy generals and dozens of guards when he went there to witness with his own eyes that he did not do anything that harmed the interests of Yizhou.

Zhang Yi left Ju County, and the Sima family's spy rushed to Hechi to deliver a letter. When Zhang Ren arrived at the bank of the Western Han Dynasty, he really saw Zhang Xiu and Tong Yuan. He believed that his master and second junior brother would not mind that he would also bring his deputy general and dozens of guards, and maybe he could still draw some taste from his actions.

With Tong Yuan and Zhang Xiu's martial arts skills, Zhang Ren's number of people brought by him obviously could not stop him, so Zhang Ren felt that his master and junior brother would not mind. Even though he knew that this was a meeting between the master and the apprentice, Zhang Ren wanted to come with his deputy, just to let everyone testify and prove his innocence.

After the master and apprentice met, they did not talk for long. Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ren’s two apprentices promised in front of their master that if they met on the battlefield, they would never try their best to avoid direct face-to-face fighting. At the same time, Tong Yuan also promised that the two apprentices would choose their own destination and would not interfere in the future. Whether they were to live or die, to be successful or to have different bodies and heads, everything would be left to fate.

After saying goodbye to his master, Zhang Ren returned to Ju County with two deputy generals and dozens of guards. As a result, he received Sima Yi's order - the entire army was withdrawn from Hanzhong and the Yizhou army gave up the territory occupied by Wudu.

Zhang Ren smiled bitterly, knowing that he and Sima Yi were finally separated. He led his army back to Yizhou this time, and there might not be anything more serious waiting for him.

Not long after, Sima Yi led his army to Hanzhong, Zhang Ren led his army to Guanghan County, and the danger of Wudu was lifted. In addition to the prefect of Wudu, who is now trapped in Chengdu, Jia Xu and Tian Feng made full use of various strategies without losing the life of a soldier, and successfully realized the strategic intention of reclaiming Wudu.

Although Zhao Hu was captured, Sima Fang was not as good as death now. This result actually reserved a chess game for the next step, but the next decisions required Zhao Xing to make a decision. Jia Xu and Tian Feng were not good at making any suggestions. ~ Please come to "" when you see that there are no advertisements on the first release.
