    At first glance, he looks a bit like an immortal. This old man, who is over eighty years old, seems to have been waiting for a long time.  This person is none other than Cai Feibai and Cai Yong of the Western Tang Dynasty!  Cai Yong is very good at self-cultivation. He also practices Tai Chi and Wu Qin Xi. He keeps fit every day. Although he is nearly eighty years old, his complexion is still very good. Compared with some sixty-year-old people, he is much more energetic.  Originally, Wen Han intended to ask Cai Yong to move to Chang'an Palace with him, but Cai Yong was used to living in Anyi and no longer wanted to worry about the affairs of the world.  After all, with Cai Yong's stern temperament, if he were in Chang'an, he would definitely say a few words whenever he encountered something important.  Cai Yong also knew his own temperament, so he chose to stay in Anyi, where he had a leisurely life. He enjoyed raising birds and studying books at home. From time to time, he and Cai Yan would write some family letters to relieve their lovesickness.  When Wen Han and others arrived at the county government hall, Cai Yan exclaimed when he saw his old father, and tears almost came out of his eyes.  Cai Yong turned around and saw the daughter he missed day and night. He called her several times and almost burst into tears.

    When Wenhan saw his former master, he didn't dare to be presumptuous and quickly bowed his hands.

    "My child pays homage to the abbot of the country!"

    After Wen Han finished speaking, Guan Yu and others also paid their respects.  Cai Yong has always attached great importance to etiquette and strictness. He and other brothers do not dare to be presumptuous.  After hearing this, Cai Yong's expression darkened, his eyes narrowed, and he bowed to Wen Han rigorously.

    "Veteran Cai Bojie, I would like to pay my respects to the King of Tang! Long live my king!"

    After the ceremony, Wen Han walked to Cai Yong's side, followed by Guan Yu and others, all of whom looked like they were listening.  Cai Yong glanced at everyone indifferently, a hint of relief flashed in the corner of his eyes, and then said slowly.

    "Your Majesty, you and your brothers are no longer what they used to be. You are neither a king nor a prince. You are no longer the yellow-haired prince you were in Luoyang. There is no need to be so cautious. I only hope that you and your brothers can be more connected to the people of the world. Don't forget  The original ambition to drive the world with public opinion!¡±

    "We must bear in mind the teachings of the abbot!!"

    Wenhan and others all raised their hands and regarded Cai Yong as a master and a father.  Cai Yong nodded slightly, then took Cai Yan's hand and spoke to Cai Yan.

    "Yan'er, you haven't been home for a long time, so you should go home with me so that you can understand the feelings of missing you for so many years."

    Cai Yong knew that he was here, and Wen Han and others did not dare to be presumptuous. He also knew that Guan Yu had already prepared a banquet. He was afraid that Wen Han would neglect Cai Yan, so he simply took Cai Yan away and asked him to wait for his brothers to get together and have a good drink.  .  Cai Yan has always been considerate, so he realized it, nodded slightly, and glanced at Wen Han, as if to signal him not to drink too much.  Wenhan smiled at her.  When Cai Yan saw him, he left with Cai Yong.

    "Although Mr. Cai is turning eighty years old, his majesty is still the same as before!"

    Seeing Cai Yong leave, Xu Huang sighed, and his tense nerves just relaxed, like a child watching his husband leave school.  After everyone heard this, they all nodded in unison, agreeing very much.  After Cai Yong left, Guan Yu led everyone to the banquet that had been prepared.  The four brothers kept drinking and cheering, sometimes recounting past events, and sometimes talking about the situation in the world. They seemed to have endless things to say, and they just regretted that as time went by, the banquet would eventually disperse.

    Since returning from Xichuan, Wenhan has had few worries except for the initial selection of concubines. He also found two stunning beauties, Xiangfei and Yufei, and reunited with his brothers to relieve the pain of lovesickness.  This period of time can be said to be the most joyful and leisurely time for Wen Han since she became the queen of the Western Tang Dynasty.

    At this time, in Xichuan.  Following the whereabouts of Wenhan's edict, Xu Shu and Zhao Yun discussed together and each went his own way.  Zhao Yun recruited more than 10,000 elite soldiers, and also took two generals, Deng Ai and Wang Shuang from Zhang Liao's army. Then he followed Xu Shu's words and dispatched additional troops to the border of Jiaozhou in order not to alert the enemy.  Deng Ai and Wang Shuang each led an army of soldiers and horses away.  When Xu Shu's baggage, weapons and other equipment were ready for battle, Zhao Yun personally led the rear army to advance.

    But it was said that Deng Ai arrived in Qielan City first, and sent secret agents to investigate near Shi'an every day. Then, according to Zhao Yun's previous instructions, he secretly contacted Fei Yuan, who had already sneaked into Shi'an.

    And just as the Western Tang army was making preparations to capture Shi'an.  In Shi'an City, Ma Liang had a sad look on his face, his brows were furrowed, and he spoke to Fa Zheng in a deep voice.

    "Xiao Zhi, when we accept the people in this way, there must be many details of the Western Tang Dynasty. If we don't stop it, it will definitely become a disaster in the long run!!"

    When Fazheng heard the words, he narrowed his eyes and said in a condensed voice.

    "Ji Chang, don't worry too much. You can identify all the people who come into the city one by one. You are always cautious in your actions. How can there be young people sneaking into the city!?"

    Ma Liang sighed after hearing this and said bitterly.

    "You don't know something, Xiaozhi. If it's an ordinary craftsmanship, you can't hide it from me. But in the early years, Na Wen Bufan was in the Sichuan area, and most of them were flying kites for craftsmanship. Each of these flying kites not only have great skills, but also have a deeper understanding of secrets.  The hiding technique is even more secretly organized, and many people have long been living as common people in central Sichuan, and in the past six months, there have been countless people.?The people come to vote, and it is absolutely impossible to find out in detail.  I also have the will but am powerless!  If a traitor from the Western Tang Dynasty suddenly attacks and coincides with the flying kites inside and outside the city, Shi'an will definitely be in danger!  !  To be filial and honest to you, I still need to be cautious!  !  "

    After hearing this, Fazheng's face darkened, a bit of anxiety flashed in his eyes, and then he quickly suppressed it and asked Ma Liang.

    "How was your conversation with that friend Nie?"

    When Ma Liang heard this, his face darkened and he nodded slightly.

    "As the Prime Minister expected, this Friend Nie is a rat who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but he is very rich in money. I have sent an envoy to explain the interests to him and presented him with a large sum of money. Friend Nie is very happy and has promised to congratulate him."

    Fazheng opened his eyes, his eyes were shining brightly, and he spoke with a fierce expression.

    "The Prime Minister really knows things well, and what is particularly admirable is that he has already prepared for rainy days and sent detailed research in Jiaozhou. He knows everything about the officials in Jiaozhou. Nowadays, talented people such as Zhu Zhi and Zhuge Ke are all  We left to look to Wu Nan for reinforcements. Jiaozhou was empty, but all that was left were useless mediocrities. So we followed the Prime Minister's plan, but when we heard of Zhu Zhi's defeat, we secretly took him to congratulate him.  After all, the small town of Shi'an is a border area and cannot be settled for a long time. Once we take Linhe, we can advance, retreat, and defend. We will be able to recover Shuhan and make a comeback soon!"

    After Ma Liang heard this, he looked worried and said.

    "Although the Prime Minister had already made arrangements, he also said before leaving that there is no shortage of talented people in the Western Tang Dynasty. If you hear that we are waiting in Shi'an to recruit people from Sichuan, there will be some movement. I am only afraid of the traitors of the Western Tang Dynasty.  He is plotting secretly!"

    Fazheng's face tightened, as if he remembered something and talked to Ma Liang.

    "Before the prime minister left, he gave us three brochures, each in red, green, and yellow. Whenever we encountered something difficult to do, we would open them one by one. The situation is very urgent now. Why don't Ji Chang open one first?  look!?"

    Ma Liang's eyes lit up when he heard what Fazheng said. He then took out three brocade bags from his waist, and then opened the red one. There was a small piece of silk in the brocade bag, and the small silk just had the word "quick" written on it.

    "Hurry!? What do you mean, Prime Minister?"

    Fazheng frowned, his face darkened, and it was difficult to understand for a moment.  Ma Liang had a flash of inspiration and said quickly.

    "Could it be that the Prime Minister is telling us to hurry up and get congratulations?"

    "Although this friend Nie is greedy for money, he still promised us to dedicate the city. But according to our previous discussion, it is best to wait until Zhu Zhi is defeated, making friend Nie think that Soochow has exhausted all his energy before taking it. We will act like this  Eager, but what if something happens?¡±

    Fazheng groaned and said, his face full of solemn expression.  Ma Liang's eyes were calm. After thinking about it, he still felt that there must be a reason for Zhuge Liang's behavior, and he said calmly.

    "Earlier, the Prime Minister said that he should only demolish it at the critical moment. In this case, it is very likely that the Prime Minister knew that the Western Tang Dynasty had already taken measures, so he taught me to do this quickly to avoid the destruction of Shi'an city and regret."

    Just as Ma Liang finished speaking, a young general suddenly rushed in. Seeing that the young general was strong and powerful, he also had a swallow's jaw, eyes, and a leopard's head. This young general was Zhang Baoye, the son of Zhang Fei.  But he said that although Zhang Bao was young, he was very good at martial arts. When Chengdu was defeated, he protected the young and old in the family and charged straight to kill him. No one could stop him. Many Tang soldiers thought that this son was Zhang Fei and were frightened to hear the news.  .  Later, he was separated from Zhuge Liang and most of the others, but he was extremely clever and hid in secret. When he heard that Zhuge Liang and others had settled in Shi'an, he took his family to join him.  At this moment, Zhang Bao hurried over, bowed his hands and bowed.

    "Report!! A certain soldier under his command discovered that at the pass outside the border, the strength of the Tang bandits suddenly increased a lot. It is suspected that there are reinforcements!!"

    When Fazheng and Ma Liang heard this, their expressions suddenly changed and they said in unison.

    "The Tang thief came so quickly!?"

    Ma Liang first stabilized his demeanor and tried to clarify the truth with the Dharma.

    "The matter has come to this, and we can no longer neglect it. Fortunately, most of the Tang thieves have not arrived yet. We will quickly send people to fetch Lin He, and then place the king there, just in case!!"

    When Fazheng heard the words, his heart skipped a beat, and he nodded in agreement without thinking too much.

    "What Ji Chang said makes sense. Your Majesty is the leader of the Shu Han Dynasty, and there is no room for error. So, you will immediately lead five thousand troops and horses, together with the two generals of Anbang and Tan, and go together. I have been guarding Shi'an with my uncle to resist.  Tang thief!"

    After Ma Liang heard this, his expression changed and he was about to open his mouth.  But Fazheng shouted without any doubt.

    "Ji Chang, don't say more, just make the decision!!"

    Ma Liang¡¯s head was shaken, he sighed, and accepted the order.  That night, Zhang Bao followed orders and led 2,000 troops to fetch Linhe.  The next day, Pan Ping led three thousand soldiers to protect Ma Liang, Liu Chan and other officials and then left.  Flying kites in the city saw the Shu army rising up one after another, and quicklyMachine notification.  When Deng Ai heard this, his expression changed and he cursed secretly.

    "Could it be that the Shu people had already made arrangements, knowing that our army was coming to attack and might be difficult to defend, so they moved their positions!?"

    After Deng Ai finished thinking about it, he quickly informed Zhao Yun. Then he ordered three thousand troops and horses, and led an army to find out the truth.  Not long after Ma Liang and others left, Fa Zheng felt calm.  Suddenly, soldiers rushed to report that Deng Ai, a young Tang thief general, led three thousand soldiers and horses.  When Fazheng heard this, his expression changed. He had heard that Deng Ai was both wise and brave, and he was very eager to get it. This time he brought the army here to explore the truth.  Fa Zheng would not allow Deng Ai to succeed, so he quickly ordered the three armies to make preparations.  After a while, Deng Ai led his troops to the north gate of Shi'an, set up their formation, and shouted sternly.

    "Deng Shizai is here!! Wait for the Shu people to decide who will make the decision now, come out quickly and answer the question!!"

    Deng Ai gave a sharp shout, which was like a thunderbolt exploding. All the Shu soldiers on the city were afraid when they saw it, and no one dared to answer.
