After a while, Wangyuan city gate opened wide, and Jiang Wei rode into the city.

Han Shao and Zhao Yu were waiting by the road inside the gate. When they met, they greeted each other with greetings. After a brief acquaintance, the three of them led their horses to the county government office.

"Bo Yue's appearance is extraordinary. He is really a young hero. The prince-in-law will definitely like him when he sees him later." Seeing Jiang Wei's appearance, Han Shao thought to himself that this is the Tianshui Qilin'er. Compared with the fake one in the morning, he is simply a

Heaven and earth.

Jiang Wei quickly clasped his fists after hearing this, and then replied humbly: "General Han is too ridiculous. Jiang is actually very ordinary. It is my honor to meet the consort in Wangyuan..."

"The prince-in-law is a person who loves talents. I have made an appointment with you to find a talented person. I will definitely recommend him to you when we meet later. If the prince-in-law really likes you, he might take you back to Chang'an and Luoyang..." Han Shao replied with a smile.

"Chang'an, Luoyang? The old general's mother is still in Jicheng..." Jiang Weixin said that he still had to fulfill his filial piety.

"What's so difficult about this? Just take it with you and enjoy the blessings. The prince-in-law is very generous." Han Shao said in a dazzling way. Zhao Yu next to him said nothing, secretly scolding him for cheating on his son who had just started working as an official.

"Thank you, General Han..." Jiang Wei clasped his fists in thanks. He had a good impression of Han Shao, so he curiously asked: "Zhang Fei, this thief is more cunning than the legend says. He especially knows how to use the mobility of cavalry. How does the prince consort attack?"

Return him?"

Han Shao remained calm and explained with a smile: "Zhang Fei's cavalry is indeed fierce, but the number is too limited after all. The prince-in-law brought 30,000 cavalry from Chang'an. We encountered him in the east of Wangyuan City yesterday. Zhang Fei used it several times

The small group of cavalry lured them, and the prince-in-law chose not to be moved. The 30,000-strong army maintained its formation and advanced. When the enemy saw that the lure failed, they had no choice but to escape through the river beach and the foot of the mountain on both sides."

Jiang Wei nodded, "Zhang Fei just likes to use small groups of cavalry to lure him. Once he divides his troops to pursue, he will easily encounter an ambush, and then the separated troops and horses will be eaten by him. With such a steady handling of the consort, Zhang Fei must be at the end of his game.

, are they withdrawing now?”

"This morning, people from Shanggui reported Zhang Fei's movements and confirmed that he had withdrawn from Tianshui. It seems that there is insufficient food and grass." Han Shao nodded and replied.

"It seems that the strong walls and clearing the country have worked. Zhang Fei has been entrenched in Tianshui for a long time. He has no place to replenish food and grass for a long time. If he does not return to Wudu, he can only kill horses to satisfy his hunger. Now that he encounters the army reinforced by the consort, can he not retreat?" Jiang

Wei looked at Zhao Yu as he spoke, as if to say that you have a share in strengthening the walls and clearing the country.

Zhao Yu smiled in embarrassment and did not dare to reply, thinking that Zhang Fei had just robbed Xia Houmao's supply ship, and his food reserves were much more abundant than those in Wangyuan City.

"Let's go quickly, don't keep the consort waiting too long." Seeing that Zhao Yu was hesitant to speak, Han Shao quickly urged everyone to speed up, but he couldn't let Zhao Yu get into trouble.

"Wei." Jiang Wei and Zhao Yu replied in unison.

Several people dismounted in front of the county government office and strode toward the main hall. Their respective guards stopped outside the county government office.

If you climb a high branch, you can save twenty years of hard work. Few people can resist the temptation, and young Jiang Wei was not immune. He followed him into the county government hall with excitement on his face, but found that the county magistrate's seat was empty.

Jiang Wei turned to look at Han Shao next to him, as if asking where is the consort?

Han Shao's expression suddenly changed and he shouted loudly: "Capture the traitor Jiang Wei."

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of Han Shao's soldiers poured out from inside and outside the lobby, surrounding the confused Jiang Wei.

It was too late for Jiang Wei to resist. He waved his sword to resist and shouted: "What do you mean? What crime do I have?"

"You are not guilty...but..." Zhao Yu, who was on the periphery, couldn't bear it.

After listening to Zhao Yu's words, Jiang Wei suddenly thought of something, and he asked in a voice: "You want to use me to fight Zhang Fei?"

"Get it for me."

Following Han Shao's urging again, all the soldiers attacked together. Although Jiang Wei was young, he was able to win, but in the end he was outnumbered and captured.

"It's like 'Shen Sheng will die inside, Chong'er will be safe outside'. Heaven wants to kill me, Jiang Wei, and there's no use hiding anywhere..." Jiang Wei, with his hands tied, looked up to the sky and smiled bitterly, with an expression of reluctance written all over his immature face.

Han Shao patted him on the shoulder gently: "Everyone is destined to die. It may be heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather..."

"Traitor, why don't you die? It's a pity that I still have an old mother to support..." Jiang Wei looked at Han Shao fiercely, but Han Shao was determined not to be moved.

Zhao Yu looked ashamed and comforted: "Boyue, please relax, I will try to take care of your mother..."

"Bah, you are not a good person either." Jiang Wei was furious and spat a ball of saliva on Zhao Yu's embarrassed face.

Zhao Yu wiped the saliva from his face with his sleeve. He couldn't express the pain in his heart. Jiang Wei didn't know the feeling that he couldn't help himself.

If he didn't obey Han Shao's arrangement, Zhao Yu's ending would be miserable. After all, there was a huge gap in status between him and Xia Houmao. When Cao Pi came to settle his crimes, he, a little ant, would not be able to stop him.

"Put me into the prison car. I, the general, have ordered all the troops and horses. I will personally lead the troops to replace them later." Han Shao ordered in a deep voice.

The soldier nodded knowingly: "Wei."

Jiang Wei was escorted out of the county government hall. Zhao Yu asked Han Shao puzzledly: "Why did General Han take such a big detour? Why didn't he just capture him directly under the city?"

"I have just inquired about Jiang Wei. He is a man of high temper and good martial arts. If he does it under the city, it cannot be guaranteed to be foolproof. Furthermore, Jiang Wei has a bad reputation in Tianshui. If he is not charged with a crime, it will be difficult for Governor Ma to explain him.

"Han Shao explained with a frown.

"What crime does General Han want to accuse Jiang Wei?" Zhao Yu asked.

"Jiang Wei was at the county government office. He bumped into an official rudely and was escorted back to Chang'an for trial." Han Shao replied.

"So that's it..." Zhao Yu suddenly realized that he was escorted back to Chang'an for trial. Even Ma Zun couldn't hold him accountable. He finally understood Han Shao's 'unnecessary action'.

Han Shao reminded seriously: "General Zhao is on the same boat with me now. Some things are better left in the stomach. I didn't take action in Wangyuan City just now because I was worried about your reputation."

"Thank you, General Han..." Zhao Yu clasped his fists.

Early the next morning, Han Shao personally led 20,000 troops and rode out of Wangyuan, escorting Jiang Wei to the east to find Zhang Fei in exchange for prisoners.

After Han Shao was arrested and met, he went to Shanggui overnight to contact Zhang Fei and said that he would bring Jiang Wei over the next day for exchange.

Zhang Fei was a little shocked when he heard the news. He didn't expect Han Shao to work so efficiently and came to Xia Houmao's side during his night break.

"Xiahou Prince Consort, your generals are very capable. They captured Jiang Wei in less than half a day. Isn't he trying to trick me, Lao Zhang? If he is being clever, you will suffer..." Zhang

Fei said meaningfully.

Xia Houmao was tied to a tree. He was overjoyed when he heard the news about Han Shao. He quickly explained with a smile: "Master Han has always been known for his honesty. He should not deceive General Zhang. I don't know the reason..."

"I'm not afraid of being deceived. I hope the Prince Consort's generals will treat you sincerely..." Zhang Fei smiled and turned around and told Zhang Da: "Give the Prince Consort a bowl of kelp soup to warm up. He wants to sleep back to back with the big tree.

At night, don’t let it be so cold that Han Shao can’t recognize you.”

"Wei." Zhang Da responded with cupped fists, then brought a bowl of kelp soup and asked someone to feed it to Xia Houmao.

Zhang Fei saw Xia Houmao devouring his food and asked with a smile: "Aren't you the prince-in-law of Wei? Have you never drank kelp soup?"

"Uh..." Xia Houmao burped and explained with a smile: "I drank it, I drank it, but it was only when I was in Chang'an, but kelp is expensive and hard to come by. I don't have such luxury as you..."
