    "It's fair, but it doesn't matter."

    Huang Quan seemed to be aware of it, and his heart tightened inexplicably, but in full view of everyone, he was already riding a tiger and couldn't get off, so he immediately told Ma Chao what he was asking for.  When Liu Bei heard this, he guessed exactly what Zhuge Liang had guessed. He glared, pointed at Huang Quan and asked Wenpin to lead the troops to take him down.  Huang Quan didn't know what was going on, so he said he was innocent.  Liu Bei ignored him and walked away angrily.  Zhuge Liang and Wenpin exchanged secret glances. Wenpin understood and led his soldiers to surround Huang Quan and bowed to him.

    "Huang Gong, please come with me and find out the facts someday. If Huang Gong is really not guilty, I will definitely apologize to Huang Quan." Updated the fastest, all text typed by hand

    Huang Quan's mind was spinning, and he seemed to have some understanding. He sighed and made no resistance.  Liu Bei returned to the county office angrily, and Zhuge Liang and Fazheng followed him in.  Liu Bei suppressed his anger, his face was extremely dark, as if he was about to drip water, and he asked Zhuge Liang in a cold voice.

    "This Ma Mengqi has evil intentions. According to Kong Ming's opinion, what should we do now!?"

    Zhuge Liang had already thought about it and bowed.

    "My lord can hand over the name. You can first take the main road and quickly send troops to Zitong. Among them, you also teach Yide and Ziyi to lead a fast cavalry each to secretly take a detour and set up an ambush at the border between Zitong and Manjing. Mrs. Zhu Rong has not yet expected that,  We know that Ma Meng has evil intentions. As long as our army marches rapidly for several days, we will be able to intercept the rear army when it retreats. At that time, the lord can summon Ma Meng to meet him and say that he has important orders.  If Ma Mengqi has something in his heart, he will definitely not receive the order. The lord can immediately launch an attack, annihilate his rear army, and seize his baggage and food. But the barbarians know that the baggage will be captured, and they may return to fight with our army, or they may rush on their way.  Before Yide and Ziyi set off, the lord can send people to teach them to wait for the opportunity. If the barbarian army comes back to kill, they will attack from behind and attack from both front and rear with our army. They will definitely kill the barbarian army.  Without leaving the armor, we captured the horse Mengqi. But if the barbarian army fled regardless of the baggage, the two generals would lead an ambush to intercept and kill them. Our army could pursue them from behind and defeat the barbarians." See the latest chapter.

    As soon as Zhuge Liang's plan fell through, Fazheng and Liu Bei's expressions changed and they secretly praised it.  Liu Bei's expression condensed, and he followed Zhuge Liang's plan and made adjustments.  Liu Bei immediately ordered more than 10,000 elite soldiers, including Hua Xiong, Wenpin and others, to march from Guanzhong and take the main road to Zitong.  That night, Zhang Fei and Tai Shici also received reports from Meteor Horse respectively, and quickly sent troops and horses from Gengcheng and Weining, secretly taking a detour to the border between Zitong and Manjing.

    Two days later, Liu Bei led his army to the outside of Zitong City. Unexpectedly, there were only less than a few hundred barbarians left in the city.  Liu Bei was shocked when he saw it. The barbarians on the city were a little surprised to see Liu Bei coming so quickly, and immediately ordered people to open the city gate.  Liu Bei's face was gloomy, and Zhuge Liang beside him asked coldly.

    "Kong Ming, why is this!?"

    Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes, pondered for a while, and whispered to Liu Bei.

    "It seems that Ma Mengqi mostly learned from Huang Gongheng that Liang was suspicious of him. Presumably in the past, as soon as Huang Gongheng left, he immediately sent out his troops. By this time, most of the other troops had arrived  Barbarian Realm Entrance!¡±

    When Liu Bei heard this, his eyes widened and he spoke softly while suppressing his anger.

    "What a Ma Mengqi!! He really has evil intentions!!!"

    Liu Bei's face trembled. Now all the signs indicate that Ma Chao has the intention to rebel.  At this time, the barbarian generals on the city had led their troops to rush outside the city, and they all bowed and wanted to hand over.  Liu Bei's eyes were gloomy, and he wanted to order all these barbarians to be captured.  Zhuge Liang noticed Liu Bei's intention and quickly stopped him with his eyes. Then he drove his horse forward and asked the barbarian general about several things in detail.  After asking, Zhuge Liang let out a long sigh. As he expected, the barbarian army had set off five or six times ago.  Zhuge Liang then rushed back to the formation, first teaching Liu Bei how to hand over the troops, and then planning the aftermath.  Although Liu Bei was impatient, he now knew that it would be difficult to catch up with Ma Chao, so he followed Zhuge Liang's words.  At noon, the handover between the two armies was completed, and the barbarian general came to ask Liu Bei for orders. He then retired with his troops and left Zitong City.

    In the Zitong County government office, Liu Bei's face was dark, and he did not seem to be happy about getting Zitong.  Liu Bei narrowed his eyes and shouted loudly.

    "How dare Ma Mengqi treat me like this!! I will send an order to recall him immediately. If he does not respond, I will send troops to attack the southern barbarians immediately. I will also send people to announce everywhere in the barbarian territory that he and Mrs. Zhu Rong plotted to kill the barbarian king Meng Huo that day.  Things!!"

    Zhuge Liang's expression changed after hearing this, and he went to persuade him.

    "My lord, you must not do it. Now that Ma Mengqi has entered the barbarian territory, Mrs. Zhu Rong is extremely prestigious in the southern barbarians and has a heavy army. Even if the lord exposes the sins of the two people, the barbarians will not be gullible. What's more, the barbarian territory is desolate and the terrain is dangerous.  It is not inferior to the Sichuan land, and there are many birds and beasts. If the lord attacks the poisonous pond, the barbarians only need to defend according to the danger. Within a few months, our army will run out of food and will be forced to withdraw.  Immediately, the barbarians waited for work and launched an army to pursue them. How could our army be invincible? "

    Liu Bei was embarrassed to hear this.After a series of changes, he regretted it. He suppressed his anger tightly, his eyes were red, and he was quiet for a while before asking Zhuge Liang.

    ¡°Then according to Kong Ming¡¯s opinion, what should I do now?¡±

    "Ma Mengqi is now gaining momentum. Don't scare the snake. If you break up with him, it will only give the northwest thieves an opportunity to get in. Now that the situation in the barbarian territory is not stable, Ma Mengqi does not dare to act rashly, and our army also  It is necessary to rest in order to stabilize the situation in Yizhou. In Yiliang's opinion, he can be comforted first and taught that the lord is not there. The lord can follow his previous request and send Ma Bozhan to the barbaric realm, and at the same time order Wen Zhongye to accompany him.  Go and spy on him, thinking that Wen Zhongye is a man who is always alert and has a lot of strategy, so he can take on big responsibilities."

    Zhuge Liang¡¯s bright eyes twinkled and he spoke in a concentrated voice.  After Liu Bei heard this, he measured it for a while and found it feasible, so he summoned Wenpin to see him and gave detailed instructions.  Wenpin heard what happened and knew that he had a heavy responsibility, so he accepted the order with enthusiasm.  Later, Liu Bei transferred Ma Dai from Brazil, and at the same time sent fast horses to inform Taishi Ci and Zhang Fei to withdraw their troops.  Not long after, Ma Dai arrived and followed the order to go to the barbaric realm with Wenpin.

    At this point, the situation in Yizhou is temporarily stable.  Liu Bei captured all the forty-one states in Xichuan. Later, on the recommendation of Fazheng, he appointed talented people from Xichuan one after another, making Jiang Wan the military commander, Fei Yi the chief historian, and Dong Jue and Fan Jian the governor.  Wang Ping, Zhang Yi and other young soldiers were also appointed as captains.  At the same time, Huang Quan was also exempted from crime after Fa Zheng, Zhuge Liang and others confessed.  Half a month later, Liu Bei had settled down and rewarded the three armies, which made people happy.  Zhuge Liang led Fazheng, Huang Quan and other Xichuan talents to coordinate legal affairs, reduce taxes, and implement reforms to stabilize people's hearts.  The people of Sichuan are all happy. With the hard work of Zhuge Liang and others, Yizhou is gradually showing signs of recovery.

    It is said that Wenhan's class teacher returned to Hedong.  When the people in Hedong heard that the army from the expedition had finally returned, they were all happy and rushed to the city gate.  Zhou Long and Xi Zhicai led a group of civil and military officials to greet him outside the gate of Anyi City.  When the sergeants in the army saw the familiar faces, they were all extremely excited. Many of them even had tears in their eyes and were happy.  When the army entered the city, Wen Han ordered the generals to place their troops and horses, reward the three armies, and hold a banquet in the city for the soldiers and the people to enjoy themselves.

    That night, Wenhan returned to the Champion House. As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw a beautiful figure standing quietly at the door.  The woman was wearing a goose-yellow dress with fluttering patterns, and her big eyes were filled with mist, which was very charming.

    That woman is Wen Han¡¯s beloved wife, Cai Yan.  Wen Han smiled and walked away. Beside Cai Yan, there was a young man with a strong back and strong waist. He was very strong and strong.  This little boy is Wen Shun, the only son of Wen Han and Cai Yan.

    After not seeing each other for several years, she looked quite haggard. Wen Han looked at Cai Yan silently, held him in his arms, and whispered softly in his ear.

    "Yan'er, I've been looking forward to you day and night these past few years, and it's been hard on you."

    When Cai Yan heard this, her delicate body trembled, and the pain of lovesickness suddenly emerged. She didn't say anything, but both the bitterness and sweetness were in her heart.  I don't know how long it took, but Cai Yan reluctantly left Wen Han's arms and choked with Wen Shun beside him.

    "Shun'er, why don't you come quickly and pay your respects to your father?"

    Hearing this, Wen Han turned his eyes away and saw that Wen Shun had grown a lot taller and had a strong body. He was only ten years old, but he had the body of a sixteen-year-old child.  I saw that Wen Shun had a face like a crown jade, with sharp edges and corners, handsome eyebrows and starry eyes. He was very handsome. His appearance was almost similar to that of Cai Yan, except for his bright and sparkling eyes, which were very similar to Wen Han.

    "The child has seen his father."

    Wen Shun¡¯s voice was loud and full of energy, and it was clear from a glance that he had not been wasted in the past few years.  Wen Han nodded happily, walked up to Wen Shun, reached out and stroked his hair, laughing.

    "Shun'er has grown up now, and he is very happy to be a father."

    Wen Shun¡¯s starry eyes shone as he silently looked at Wen Han¡¯s figure with admiration in his eyes.  The family of three then entered the hall of the mansion, and soon a number of civil and military officials came to pay their respects, including Wen Han.  Before you knew it, it was time for the banquet.  The war for many years was finally over and all the generals were overjoyed to return to their hometown.  During the banquet, everyone drank indulgently, and more than half of the people drank until they were extremely drunk.  Wenhan was also very happy and drank until he was drunk.

    The banquet lasted for three days.  Anyi city was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations every night, and the soldiers and the people were delighted.  After that, Wenhan spent a few days with his family members to relieve the pain of missing each other for many years.

    One day, an urgent message came from the soldiers.  When Wenhan heard this, it turned out to be an urgent report from Xu Rong from Hanzhong, reporting the accident that had happened in Xichuan a month ago.  Wen Han's face darkened, and he gathered a group of civil and military officials to discuss matters in the Yamen of Anyi County.

    When I was young, civil and military officials from the northwest arrived one after another.  Wen Han explained the incident in Xichuan in detail.  Xi Zhicai heard about it, pondered for a moment, and then told Wen Han how to do it.

    "Now that the Barbarian King Meng Huo is dead, although it was Mrs. Zhu Rong who gained the power, secretly she is probably controlled by Ma Mengqi. It seems that at this time, most of the big-eared thieves have captured Zitong, pacified Yizhou, and stood firm.  position."

    Wenhan listened and saidThe color of the ground was cold and clear, and he said in a cold voice.

    "Hmph! What a beauty trick. I never expected that such a change would happen. It really gives an advantage to Liu Xuande, a treacherous villain!!!"

    As soon as Wenhan finished speaking, Guan Yu came out angrily, his red and phoenix eyes filled with murderous intent, and he shouted sternly.

    "Although the Big-Ear Bandits have pacified Yizhou, their military strength is empty. Only 30,000 soldiers and horses are needed to seize Yizhou for our lord!!!"

    When Xu Shu heard this, his expression changed drastically and he rushed to the court to remonstrate.

    "Absolutely not. Our army is just recuperating now, and the sergeants have no intention of decisive battle. If they march rashly, they will only lose more and win less! Moreover, our army has been fighting for many years and needs a rest. It is really not appropriate to start another war."

    When Guan Yu heard this, his expression changed and he was about to speak.  Xi Zhicai, however, rushed to take the lead.

    "What Yuan Zhi said is absolutely true. What's more, the second general must not forget that Cao Mengde has been resting in the Central Plains for half a year and has been eyeing our northwest. If we start a war again, he will definitely take advantage of it. How can we resist it immediately!?  "

    Guan Yu had always respected Xi Zhicai. When he heard this, he suppressed his anger, turned cold and red-faced, and stopped speaking.  Wen Han hesitated for a while, then said in a solemn voice.

    "It's too late now. I just regret that I failed to kill the big-eared thieves many times in my designs, and Zhuge Liang allowed Jingzhou soldiers and horses to enter Sichuan. It is difficult to change the situation in Yizhou. We are waiting for the urgent need now.  It is to stabilize the situation, and then to develop strength to conquer the emperor's cause."

    Seeing that Wen Han could see the situation clearly, Xu Shu was also pleased and opened his mouth to speak again.
