    "Wen Zixi, you disobeyed the general and committed the following offense. Although you are the prince of the Tang Dynasty, the laws and disciplines in the army cannot be taken lightly! And Deng Shizai failed to do his best to stop him and neglected his duty. Although it did not cause a big pot, it cannot be taken lightly.  Forgive me! You are so brave in killing the enemy. From now on, Wen Zixi and Deng Shizai will be the horse archers in the army, waiting for Yu Wenke¡¯s orders!¡±

    As soon as Zhao Yun said this, all the generals in the tent changed their faces, and Yu Wenke's face was full of fear, and he knelt down and said.

    "You must not do it, Marquis Long! Although His Royal Highness the Prince and General Deng have had their faults, they have also made meritorious deeds. Such a heavy punishment is inconsistent with the law. ?br />

    Zhao Yun's sword glared, his energy burst out, and he shouted angrily with a horrified aura.

    "Wen Zixi is the crown prince of the Western Tang Dynasty. If anything happens, the country will be in chaos, and the consequences are beyond your imagination! If I don't punish you, if you commit the crime again in the future, it will be too late! Who else is there?  Not convinced!¡±

    Yu Wenke had long been frightened by Zhao Yun's momentum, and the generals in the tent did not dare to say anything.  Wen Shun was breathing heavily, but after hearing Zhao Yun's words, he trembled all over, knelt down on one knee and confessed.

    "The general has finally surrendered and is willing to listen to General Longhou's orders!"

    After Wen Shun finished speaking, Deng Ai also confessed.  When Zhao Yun saw this, most of his anger faded away, his momentum calmed down, and he ordered the generals to retreat.  Wen Shun and Deng Ai resigned one after another.  After everyone left, Zhao Yun's expression changed, he shook his head and sighed.

    "His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, has such a stubborn temper. Although his mind is extremely thoughtful, the so-called wise man will make mistakes in every consideration. I'm afraid something will happen sooner or later. I only hope that His Highness, the Crown Prince, can understand the truth of this!"

    Although Zhao Yun punished Wen Shun and Deng Ai so severely, although there were quite a lot of rhetoric in the army, many soldiers saw the power of this and said a lot of good things for Zhao Yun.  However, Zhao Yun had a high prestige in the army, and both Wen Shun and Deng Ai were willing to plead guilty, so the matter was quickly revealed.  However, after the incident, the lieutenants of the army admired Zhao Yun for being so tough and dared to directly demote Wen Shun and Deng Ai from the position of captains to horse archers, and they had to be mobilized by Yu Wenke.  Of course, everyone understood that Zhao Yun intended to frustrate Wen Shun and Deng Ai. With their strength, they would be able to make great achievements and be sent back to their original posts soon.

    "Wen Shun and Deng Ai were demoted to horse archers, and neither of them complained.  One day, Wen Shun and Deng Ai led a team of scouts to visit Linhe.  Wen Shun reined in his horse and looked up from a high position. He saw that the troops in Linhe City were disorganized and their troops were not in order.  When Wen Shun saw this, he frowned and spoke to Deng Ai.

    "Shizai, look at Linhe City. The Shu soldiers and horses are so scattered. If Fa Xiaozhi, Ma Jichang and others were stationed in the army on normal days, how could it be like this? Could it be that something has happened in Linhe City!?"

    When Deng Ai heard this, his expression tightened, and he quickly followed Wen Shun's instructions. He saw that the Shu soldiers in the city were lax in their defenses and their spirit was sluggish.  Deng Ai thought deeply for a while and said in a concentrated voice.

    "Your Highness expected it to be very possible. According to previous reports from Shu prisoners, although Nie You offered Linhe City to Liu Chan, he was still jealous of Fa Xiaozhi, Ma Jichang and others, and even wanted to kill him.  Fa Xiaozhi and Ma Jichang must have discovered Nie You's evil intentions and wanted to get rid of him. But Nie You won Liu Chan's heart and was protected by him. It is said that it is difficult for a gentleman to fight against a villain, and this may be the cause of the incident!

    Wen Shun was stunned by Deng Ai's analysis, and his words were exactly what he thought.  Wen Shun grinned, looked at Deng Ai, and said with a smile.

    "What Shi Zai said is exactly what I have in mind. Now is a great time to seize Linhe and capture Liu Chan!! Immediately report to Longhou!!"

    Deng Ai also smiled and nodded in agreement.  The two men then reined up their horses and led the troops back, and returned to the stronghold to see Zhao Yun.  Zhao Yun was thinking about strategies in his tent when he suddenly heard that Wen Shun and Deng Ai were coming to see him, and his face lit up with joy.  He knew in his heart that although the two of them were young, they were both resourceful and strategic people.  However, Zhao Yun's expression soon darkened again, and he deliberately spoke loudly.

    "He and the other two are just horse archers. If there is something important, tell him to report it to the commander first!!"

    Wen Shun and Deng Ai listened outside the tent.  Wen Shun couldn't help but smile bitterly and talked to Deng Ai.

    "It seems that Marquis Long is still angry about the previous incident, but he has even killed you."

    "Your Highness, don't do this. Ai can gain His Highness's trust so much. Not to mention the horse archers, even if they are the front pawns of the horses, they are willing to serve."

    Deng Ai quickly raised his hands and replied.  Wen Shun smiled brightly, his eyes shone brightly, and he nodded and said solemnly.

    "I regard the scholars as my brothers and sisters, just as my father the king regards the dragon princes. I will never be in disgrace in this life!"

    When Deng Ai heard this, his heart trembled and he was deeply moved.  At this moment, the soldier who went to report came back, but he hesitated to speak.  Wen Shun smiled calmly and bowed his head.

    "It's hard for you, brother. I'm leaving now."

    After Wen Shun finished speaking, he glanced at Deng Ai. Deng Ai understood, and they left together to see Yu Wenke.  After hearing this, Yu Wenke was very happy and respectful.??.

    "If this matter is true, His Highness and General Deng have achieved another extraordinary feat. I will go and report to Marquis Long and introduce him to Your Highness and General Deng!"

    Although Yu Wenke was temporarily the commander-in-chief of Wen Shun and Deng Ai, he never dared to act recklessly.  After hearing this, Wen Shun shook his head slightly and said.

    "No need. This is against military discipline. Just retaliate, General."

    When Yu Wenke heard Wen Shun call him a general, his face was frightened and he didn't even dare to say anything.  Wen Shun did not stick to such small details. He waved his hand and told Yu Wen Ke to report quickly.  Yu Wenke obeyed the order, bowed and left.  After a while, Yu Wenke returned with a happy face and summoned Zhao Yun.  Wen Shun and Deng Ai were shocked, so they followed Yu Wenke over.

    After entering the account, Wen Shun and Deng Ai paid their respects.  When Zhao Yun saw that the two of them had no complaints, he was secretly happy and cursed.

    "After this, His Highness restrained himself a lot and was able to realize the pros and cons and accept it calmly. This is really a blessing for us in the Western Tang Dynasty. And this Deng Shizai has always abided by the law and discipline, was modest and polite, and was both wise and courageous. He is also a man who can create  material.¡±

    After thinking about it, Zhao Yun couldn't help but smile, and laughed with Wen Shun and Deng Ai.

    "I already know what you are repaying. However, Fa Xiaozhi and Ma Jichang are not ordinary people. What if there is fraud in this?"

    Wen Shun's expression condensed and he bowed his hands to Zhao Yun.

    "Longhou, don't worry too much. If you want to know what's going on, just do a little testing and you'll know."

    "Oh? How do you say this?"

    Zhao Yun¡¯s face darkened and his sword eyes shone brightly.  Wen Shun said.

    "Our army has rested for several days now to recharge its batteries. Marquis Long might as well send an army ahead as a test. If the people of Shu rush to respond, they will attack with all their strength. If they can defeat Linhe in one fell swoop, the overall situation will be better.  Definitely!"

    When Zhao Yun heard this, his smile became brighter, he laughed loudly, and cheered repeatedly, so he followed Wen Shun's plan and made arrangements.  He also spoke to Wen Shun and Deng Ai. If this matter is serious, they should be remembered as the first meritorious service.  The next day, Zhao Yun's deployment had been decided and he personally led the front army to march towards Linhe.  Outside the city of Linhe, shouts of killing suddenly arose, and the Shu soldiers in the city were in chaos. However, Ma Liang was still unconscious, and Fazheng and others were also kneeling in front of the government office. The soldiers in the city were unable to stabilize the overall situation, so they hurriedly mobilized and taught.  People were eager to report to Liu Chan.  When Liu Chan heard this, his expression changed drastically and he was horrified.  Nie You came to remonstrate in a hurry.

    "Your Majesty, in the opinion of the villain, Da Sima and others are all loyal and righteous people. They have repeatedly wanted to harm the villain, but they are actually afraid that the villain will betray the enemy. Unexpectedly, the villain is willing to sacrifice his family.  , as a hostage. In this way, the great Sima may be willing to forgive the villain."

    Nie You is indeed a villain. In order to save his life, he is willing to sacrifice his entire family.  When Liu Chan heard this, he felt happy and invited Nie You to see him.  Fazheng and others were still kneeling. When they saw Liu Chan and Nie You arriving, they all worshiped in unison.

    "I sincerely ask your Majesty to kill Friend Nie to calm the hearts of the people!!"

    After hearing this, Nie You quickly knelt down.  Liu Chan shook his head and spoke to Fazheng and others.

    "You are all important ministers of the Gu Shu Han. The war is about to begin, and I still need a lot of support. I have already made up my mind about Nie You. Although he has made mistakes, his crime is not worthy of death. I forgive him for offering his congratulations and returning the favor.  I hope you will stop pushing me hard and spare his life. Is this okay?"

    After Liu Chan finished speaking, Nie You cried bitterly and begged for mercy.  When Fazheng and others saw this, they were very happy.  At this time, another sergeant came to report that Zhao Yun, the Shenlong general of the Western Tang Dynasty, had led his troops to the city.  Liu Chan was shocked when he heard this.  Fazheng let out a long sigh, Liu Chan still hadn't realized the benefits and dangers of this, and actually wanted to save Nie You.  However, Nie You was willing to give up his family, so he certainly did not dare to act rashly.  Fazheng thought that no matter how sinister and cunning Nie You was, he would not abandon the whole family.  What's more, the current situation is critical, and Fa Zheng doesn't want to be entangled any longer. He kowtows and speaks seriously.

    "I am very pleased that the king can see clearly. I am willing to do my best to help you!"

    As soon as Fazheng said these words, Zhang Bao, Pan Ping and others behind him also knelt down and worshiped.  When Liu Chan saw this, he felt calm and quickly helped Fazheng up and said hurriedly.

    "Da Sima and Gu Jing have settled their differences. I hope Da Sima will quickly go to resist the Tang thieves and protect Linhe!"

    Fazheng responded generously, but after kneeling for too long, his center of gravity sank and he almost fell.  Liu Chan quickly supported him, and then realized that Fazheng's face was pale and his spirit was sluggish. Thinking that he had been kneeling for nearly a day and night, he regretted it and asked quickly.

    "Is there something serious wrong with Da Sima? Does he need to rest?"

    The law is strong and powerful, and he talks to Liu Chan about the Tao.

    "With the current national crisis, I have no time to rest. Your Majesty has no worries, I will rush to take charge of the overall situation!"

    After Fazheng finished speaking, he quickly glanced at Pan Ping, Zhang Bao and others.  However, before leaving, Fazheng did not forget to teach a group of close soldiers and led a team of soldiers to Nie You's house to monitor his family.  Nie You escaped, butHe lowered his head and pressed his whole face to the ground, crying softly, extremely embarrassed.  At this time, Liu Chan left in a hurry without caring about Nie You for fear of arousing public anger.  Nie You secretly gritted his teeth, his face on the ground was as ferocious as a ghost, and he swore in his heart.

    "Liu Adou! Be filial and upright! I will repay the humiliation you received today tenfold in the future!!"

    The other side is outside the Linhe North Gate.  Zhao Yun set up his formation, rode out, and shouted at Fazheng to come out and answer.  But the city was in panic and no one came to respond.

    "It seems that it is just as His Highness expected!!"

    Zhao Yun was overjoyed and made a decisive decision, quickly teaching his soldiers to attack in a large scale.  Suddenly, drums were beating loudly and shouts of killing were heard everywhere.  Wen Shun, Deng Ai, and Yu Wenke led most of the rear army troops to swarm forward. Ladder trucks rolled and vibrated, and Wang Linhe pressed away.  The Shu soldiers on the city were in chaos, and when they saw the Tang army coming to attack in large numbers, the ladder trucks were like giant beasts coming towards them with their teeth and claws bared. They were all scared to death and didn't know what to do.  The more Zhao Yun watched, the happier he became. He secretly thought that it was very possible to break through Linhe in one fell swoop and capture all the remnants of Shu.  Although Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei and others were far away in Wu, as long as they could capture Liu Chan, they would not be in danger.  So Zhao Yun rode his horse forward and personally supervised the army.  The morale of the Tang army was greatly boosted, and they kept pressing forward. Ladder trucks approached one after another. At the same time, groups of Tang soldiers each took wooden stakes and rushed towards them, trying to break through the city gate.

    The sound below the city was so great that it shook the heaven and the earth.  However, the Shu soldiers on the city were still panic-stricken and went about their own business, either attacking with arrows or throwing stones.  It is a pity that the Tang soldiers under the city have been prepared for a long time, and their offensive is not concentrated, and they are fighting separately, so the effect is minimal.  Seeing this, Zhao Yun jumped forward on his horse and shouted loudly.

    "I am Zhao Zilong, the Divine Dragon General of the Western Tang Dynasty! Listen to the people of Shu in the city. You and Liu Chan have left their hometown and fled here. You are like a lonely ghost. Now, the center of Sichuan belongs to me, the Western Tang Dynasty, and all the people in the states are divided.  After getting the land, everyone in your family hopes that you will return soon, so why don't you offer the city as soon as possible. "

    When Zhao Yun said this, all the Shu soldiers on the city changed their minds. Almost half of the soldiers were shaken. Thinking of the young and old at home, they all looked sad.  At this moment, Fazheng finally led Pan Ping, Zhang Bao and other generals over.  When Fazheng heard what Zhao Yun said, his face was shocked, his face was full of anger, and he shouted sharply.

    "Bitch thief!! Don't confuse the public with your monstrous words!! In the past, my late lord of the Shu Han Dynasty was very popular in the land of Shu, and was supported and loved by the people. The late lord never failed the people, so how could the people fail the early lord!? This is  The people of Shu are looking forward to the restoration of their country day and night! Listen, you thief, our Shu Han army will surely regroup one day and rescue the people of Shu!"

    Fa Zheng roared hysterically, the sound shaking in all directions. When the soldiers on the city heard this, their expressions changed again.  Zhao Yun raised his eyebrows and was about to speak.  At this time, Pan Ping and Zhang Bao, two generals, had already secretly pulled the bowstring at Fazheng's signal.
