"General, do you plan to hold on for a while longer and prevent spring plowing in all parts of Liangzhou? But you destroyed Xia Houmao's army rations, and it will not be easy to rob the rations later." After Zhang Da followed Zhang Fei again, in addition to fighting, he was more concerned than before.

Positive, even his personality has become more cheerful, and he dares to discuss military affairs in front of everyone.

Zhang Fei nodded and concluded: "I just said casually that it is unrealistic to delay till spring plowing. Cao Zhen may also come back from Hexi at that time. It will be difficult for us to return to Wudu. Now Xiahou Mao has insufficient army rations. If he is stationed for a long time,

In Liangzhou, military rations for tens of thousands of people are a big burden. Even if we return to Chang'an, it will be very expensive. The mission given to me by the king has been completed..."

"These past few months have been really fun. The general, with just a few thousand soldiers, has overwhelmed the generals in Liangzhou." Zhang Da smiled and complimented.

"This battle can last for such a long time mainly due to the new military rations obtained by the military advisor and the kelp given to us by Ziyu, so that we do not have to worry about food, let alone kill horses to satisfy our hunger. We will come back in the autumn or next year. I

I want to help my eldest brother bring down Cao Pi." Zhang Fei's face was full of joy.

"General, the kelp soup is ready. Please drink some to keep away the cold." Wu Er brought a bowl of kelp soup.

Zhang Fei hugged the bowl and sighed, "This kelp is really good. We even saved salt when we marched. I am really convinced by Ziyu. Did you know that he grew this stuff in the sea?"

"Can it be grown in the sea? It's unbelievable..." Zhang Da swallowed his saliva. During his stay in Jiangxia, he always heard people talk about Mr. Xuan Owl. The generals in Jiangdong hated Lantian deeply. Only when he returned to Zhang Fei's army did he know

How happy it is to be in the same power as Lan Tian.

While everyone was having soup and dinner, the spies who were on sentry duty at Wangyuan came back to report that there were several Wei soldiers in the city holding torches and heading west overnight.

Zhang Fei handed the bowl to Wu Er and said to himself: "Xia Houmao is short of food now. He must have gone to Jicheng to ask for help. Otherwise, he would never take the risk of setting out at night. Can I get some benefits?"

?”

"Should we follow them and pretend to be Xia Houmao's army to invade Jicheng?" Zhang Da suggested.

"Although your Majesty has made me the governor of Liangzhou, I don't want any of the cities in Liangzhou now. Anyway, I can't defend them if I defeat them, and my horses will be trapped in the city, so I'm not interested in Jicheng. What's my purpose?"

..." Zhang Fei suddenly had inspiration in the middle of his words.

"Wu Er, you go immediately to assemble the troops and pick out five hundred horses for me. I'm going to trade Xia Houmao for Jiang Wei." Zhang Feitian said in a hurry.

"Xiahou Mao? Isn't he looking at the wall? There are tens of thousands of defenders there..." Wu Er didn't understand what Zhang Fei was talking about.

Zhang Fei chuckled: "Zhang Da reminded me just now that we will go to the west of Wangyuan tonight. Tomorrow we will pretend to be the reinforcements of Jicheng and try to get Xiahou Mao out of the city, and then capture him by surprise..."

"Isn't it too risky?" Zhang Da swallowed. He still remembered that when he attacked Luocheng, he pretended to be Zhuge Liang to gain the city. His teammate Fan Jiang was shot to death by Liu Sui.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on. You haven't lost any of the armor or flags you captured before, right? We'll use them again tomorrow." Zhang Fei answered confidently.

"Let's do it now, General Mo." Wu Er clasped his fists and left.

Zhang Da still felt something was wrong, so he whispered to Zhang Fei: "Who are you going to impersonate, general? If you are too famous, you may be spotted by the officers and soldiers in Wangyuan. If you are unknown, you will not be able to attract Xia Houmao..."

Zhang Fei was convinced when he heard this, "You reminded me in time. I almost forgot about it. I think I will pretend to be Jiang Wei. This guy is quite famous in Jicheng, but he is only twenty years old. Hope

Maybe no one in Yuan knows him."

"Who plays Jiang Wei?" Zhang Da asked again.

"I think it's just you..." Zhang Feixin said, putting on his helmet. Who would recognize him from a distance?

"The general asked me to capture Xiahou Mao alive?" Zhang Da asked in surprise.

Zhang Fei laughed and said: "I will follow you. As long as you lure Xia Houmao out tomorrow, the rest will be mine."

"Oh okay..." Zhang Da took the reassurance.

Zhang Fei personally led 500 elite soldiers at night, crossed Wangyuan to the west at the foot of the southern mountain, put on Liangzhou's military uniforms and flags, and marched to Wangyuan County in a swaggering manner the next morning.

Around Chen hour, Zhang Fei's five hundred fine cavalry arrived at the west gate of Wangyuan.

A scout came forward and knocked on the door. He claimed to be from Jiang Wei's department in Jicheng City and asked to see his consort Xiahou Mao by name.

At the critical moment, the city gate captain saw that 'Jiang Wei' was far away, so he did not dare to open the door to welcome guests. Instead, he rushed to the county government office to report to Xia Houmao.

Xia Houmao suffered a setback in the battle yesterday and felt the huge gap between himself and Zhang Fei. He went to bed very late worrying about gains and losses. At this time, he had just woken up and was having breakfast, while Zhao Yu waited on the sidelines.

When he heard Jiang Wei calling the door outside the city, Zhao Yu instantly frowned and thought to himself that this man had never led an army before, so why did the prefect send him here?

"General Zhao, do you know this Jiang Wei?" Xiahou Mao observed Zhao Yu's expression and noticed something strange in his expression.

"This man is smart and filial, and has a rare talent in Tianshui. He became an official in Tianshui at the age of fifteen and is now only twenty years old." Zhao Yu answered with cupped fists.

Xia Houmao put down his chopsticks in surprise, "I asked Ma Zun to ask for some food and grass, but he sent an agent to see me. Could it be that he is looking for me to complain about my poverty? Let's go and see him."

Several people came to the city wall and watched from a distance as hundreds of cavalry moved away from the city wall, as if they were guarding against a sneak attack.

Xiahou Mao sent someone to ask: "Jiang Boyue, General Xiahou is here, why don't you come forward to answer?"

Zhang Da replied loudly: "That Zhang Fei is too cunning, it is better to ask the general to go out of the city to meet him."

"You are so brave, you actually questioned the identity of the prince-in-law." Xia Houmao's personal soldiers were furious.

"I forgive you, Prince Consort, but I have to obey the orders of the governor. If you want to know the governor's response, please ask the general to come out of the city to see him. Otherwise, Jiang Wei will lead his army back to Ji County." Zhang Da threatened.

"Jiang Wei, it's very interesting. Liangzhou is really talented." Xia Houmao looked at Zhao Yu playfully and said in his heart that the people in Liangzhou really don't take me seriously. You will suffer when Cao Zhen comes back. Then I will transfer you.

Went to Chang'an to feed the horses.

"The scouts sent to Ji County have not returned. Will it be the same as yesterday afternoon?" Han Shao reminded.

"Are you talking about the people below or Zhang Fei's cavalry?" Xia Houmao's eyes widened.

"It is indeed possible. It is also possible that the scouts were tired from delivering messages at night and are now being rested in Jicheng by Chief Ma. In short, it is up to the general to decide whether to see him or not." Han Shao answered with clasped fists.

Xiahou Mao stroked his beard and said: "The granary in Wangyuan is empty. If Ma Zun doesn't bring the grain, we can only 'borrow' it from the people in the city. I'd better go out of the city to meet him, but if it's Zhang Fei who sends someone to pretend to be...
