Chapter 505: Civil strife in Guancheng
"Drive, drive, drive..."
"Xu..."
A sound of horse control sounded in Jiameng Pass, and several fast horses appeared in front of a large tent.
He turned over and dismounted, and handed the reins to the soldiers who came to relieve him. As the confidant of Marquis Ju, the reinforcements commander stared at the tent in front of him.
At this moment, a stern look flashed across his face, and it was obvious that this was someone who came with bad intentions.
In fact, the reason why he is standing here today is indeed because he wants to raise an army to question the crime.
Not long ago, his soldiers inquired and learned that the Wei army's light cavalry came at night and shot an arrow carrying a secret message into Guancheng.
Now this feathered arrow is in the camp, or to be more precise, in the hands of the original guard of Jiameng Pass.
The enemy troops are approaching the city with great force, but as the general guarding the gate, he is secretly communicating with the enemy. It is obvious that he surrenders to the enemy and treason.
Thinking of this, the leader of the reinforcements tightened his left hand on the sword at his waist, and the expression on his face became more solemn.
He wanted to see what the intentions of this evil-minded general were? How would he deal with his sudden arrival?
"Let's go, you can follow me into the account."
"Here."
Under the protection of several personal guards, the leader of the reinforcements walked into the tent at the lead.
What he didn't expect was that what caught his eye at this moment was not the panicked face that should have appeared, but a clear smile that he had been waiting for for a long time.
"The general has come all the way from Chengdu. He has never had time to serve the general with wine to wash his hands. Today, the general finally got a new jar of fine wine."
"Come, General, please take your seat."
"What exactly does this guy want?"
While muttering to himself, the leader of the reinforcements did not refuse at all, and took his seat in three or two steps.
After sitting down at the table again, the smile on General Jiameng's face became even brighter.
After reaching out and offering a glass of fine wine to the reinforcements general on the opposite side, General Jiameng Pass also poured a glass of wine for himself, and then he raised the glass of wine towards the opponent.
"General, please!"
"please!"
Since he had made up his mind to make a fool of himself, and the wine was poured out from a jar, the leader of the reinforcements did not hesitate and drank all the wine in one go.
After a glass of fine wine was poured into his stomach, while feeling the fragrance still lingering in his mouth, the reinforcements general also asked aloud: "Did any Wei troops come last night?"
"To be honest, general, there are indeed Wei troops coming with light cavalry, and they also fired a secret message into Guancheng."
Without any concealment, while filling his cup with fine wine, the smile on General Jiameng's face became brighter and brighter.
"The general must have known that this secret letter is not somewhere else but in the hands of the general."
"What exactly was written in the secret letter?" After hearing the other party's straightforward admission, the reinforcements general asked with obvious urgency.
Still looking at him with a smile, General Jiameng Pass replied immediately: "Of course the Wei army invited the last general to start a rebellion in the city tonight, and then opened the door to let the Wei army enter the city."
Hearing that the guard of Jiameng Pass directly revealed the contents of the secret message again, the reinforcements commander actually started to murmur in his heart.
"Could it be that the other party really has no intention of rebelling, but is willing to stick to Jiameng Pass with me?"
With speculation in his tone, the reinforcements general asked softly: "Did you sternly reject Wei Jun's request?"
"No, the general promised Wei Jun." After saying this, the smile on the guard's face disappeared immediately, and he looked straight to the opposite side with serious eyes.
When the commander of the reinforcements heard the guard's answer, he felt as if a pile of dry firewood had been touched by sparks, and a raging fire immediately ignited.
"You...you are collaborating with the enemy...are you betraying Shu?"
With a "bang" sound, when the palm of his hand slapped heavily on the desk, the huge sound immediately echoed in the big tent.
"No, General Mo is trying to save Shu and bring Shu back to the right path."
The guard also stood up from his seat and faced the angry-eyed reinforcements commander, without even taking a step back from his momentum.
"Marquis Ju was unruly and raised troops to rebel. As a result, the king's life and death were uncertain, the court was in chaos, and the people of Shu were in ruins."
"Fortunately, the prince was outside and led an upright army into Shu. In a short period of time, everyone in Hanzhong was eating pots of pulp."
"Now that the elite of the Wei State has arrived outside Jiameng Pass, it is a great opportunity for us to bring order to the chaos. If we don't do something now, how long will it take?"
The voice became louder and the tone became stronger, and the aura of the guard became stronger moment by moment.
At the end of the conversation, the guard changed the subject, and the expression on his face changed to a smile again.
"If the general can work together with the last general, when the crown prince returns to Chengdu soon, we will all be heroes of the Shu Kingdom."
"No need to say any more."
With sharp eyes, the leader of the reinforcements stared fixedly at the guard in front of him, "Marquis Ju has been kind to me, how could I betray him?"
"Since we can't be like-minded, then the general and the general can only be enemies."
A look of regret flashed across the guard's face, but the look on the guard's face was ruthless.
"Here comes someone."
As soon as the guard general gave the order, figures rushed out of the tent, and numerous soldiers immediately surrounded the reinforcements general and several of his personal guards.
"So what now? General, it's not too late to join forces with the last general. If it happens again..."
His eyes swept around, looking at the hostile soldiers, and then at the personal guards holding long swords who were closely guarding him. The reinforcements general's eyes finally fell on the face of the guard opposite.
"Do you think I really have nothing to rely on if I dare to come?"
"What do you mean?"
"kill!"
Before the look of shock on the guard's face disappeared, a burst of shouts of death came from outside the tent.
Immediately afterwards, a brigade commander ran into the tent, with a look of horror on his face, "The general is in trouble, the army is coming. The attack is so fierce that our army will be unable to stop it for a while."
"What!"
A hint of shock and anger appeared on his face, and the guard looked at the reinforcements leader in front.
Facing the gaze that seemed to kill him, the reinforcements general showed no fear at all.
He used his right hand to pull out the long sword from his waist, and the reinforcements commander's face was brightened, "The reinforcements are coming, follow me and fight out."
"Here."
Reinforcements from outside were about to arrive, and the generals inside were leading the way. Even though they were trapped in a tight siege, many of the guards became more courageous as they fought, and they had already broken out of the tent in a short period of time.
"General, what should I do?"
"Originally, I wanted to persuade the other party to hand over Jiameng Pass intact to the hands of the prince, but it seems that I can't do it."
"Now the enemy's offensive is fierce, to guard against unexpected events..."
There was no worry about being robbed of his credit. Seeing that the situation was developing out of his control, the guard immediately made a decision.
"You lead your people to Guanqiang immediately, open the gate, and let the Wei army enter the city."
"Follow orders."
Subsequently, the development of things proved that the decision made by the guard at this moment was extremely timely and accurate.
Although they had the advantage of being the first to attack, the original defenders at Jiameng Pass were inferior to the reinforcements coming from Chengdu, both in terms of strength and elite level.
With the general taking the lead, the reinforcements were even more ferocious, and the balance of the war was tilting bit by bit as time went by.
Just as the civil strife in Jiameng Pass was about to come to an end, there was a sound of squeezing wood and another loud shout of killing.
"kill……"
