The group had just arrived at Bashui and were about to cross the river. Suddenly Li Hei sent someone to report that the Jingzhou army was found in Daba Mountain and was very likely to attack Xuanhan.
Du Yi was shocked and said: "This is a plan to attack the east and attack the west. Liu Qi seems to be taking Hanchang, but in fact he is attacking from the north and the south to take the land of Badong."
"This Liu Qi is really scheming!" Pu Hu said solemnly, "He knows that Zhang Wei is relying on us Ba people to help him, so he will eliminate us first. Zhang Wei is like a grasshopper after the autumn, and he can't jump anymore."
Du Yi said: "The soldiers and horses of Jiangzhou have arrived at Danqu. Reinforcement is like putting out a fire. It's three hundred miles to Hanchang, at least two days' journey. You and I can't leave lightly. Why don't we invite Zhang Wei to come and discuss the matter."
Pu Hu frowned and said, "I don't dare to come even if I'm afraid of Zhang Wei."
Du Yi sighed: "Now that things have happened, I don't know whether to say something or not."
Pu Hu said seriously: "I have already said that the Seven Surnames and Jibu are equal. You and I will be a family from now on, fighting for the glory of the Ba people. If you have anything to say, there is no harm in saying it."
Du Yi called Pu Hu alone to the river and said seriously: "I, the Ba people, are the great meritorious service of the Han Dynasty. How glorious it is. Without the instigation of the Zhang and Lu brothers, how could we be enemies of the Liu family? In the past, Liu Zhang was weak and did not know how to employ people. We can still barely deal with it, but it's just against the Brazilian governor. Now that Liu Qi and Liu Zhang have joined forces, just relying on this small area is like hitting a stone with a bird's egg. If you are not careful, you will cause the disaster of annihilation. , you and I will become eternal sinners, how can we face those ancestors who have made meritorious deeds in the future?"
Pu Hu let out a long sigh and looked at the rushing river in silence. He didn't understand the current situation. The tribe of the Seven Surnames, which thought they had strong combat power, was actually vulnerable to Liu Qi's men.
After a long while, he said with emotion: "Hundreds of years have passed, and the descendants have been content to enjoy themselves and be pampered. My warriors are no longer the heroic and capable warriors of the past, who made the people of the Central Plains fearful."
Du Yiyan said: "After thinking about it, I have a plan to protect the Ba clan. The root of all this trouble lies with Zhang Wei. It's better to get rid of him..."
Seeing Du Yi making a gesture of wiping his neck, Pu Hu's eyes twitched slightly: "Can you protect yourself by killing Zhang Wei?"
Du Yiyan said: "Liu Qi sent troops just to attack Zhang Wei. As long as he kills this person, we can act accordingly: if you can follow the rules, you can do it; if you can't, we will sacrifice Zhang Wei's head and put the blame on him. We want to do it." He is a man of great merit, and for the sake of his ancestors, as long as he admits his mistake, he will not kill them all."
Pu Hu felt excited after hearing this. After all, the ancestors of the Ba people also helped Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty to conquer the world. It is not shameful to submit to the descendants of the Liu family. This is called protecting the glory of the ancestors.
"As King Ba, I must take the overall situation into consideration. As long as I can protect my tribe, what does it matter if I confess to Liu Qi?" Pu Hu looked serious and asked: "But Zhang Wei still has thousands of troops, how easy is it to kill him?"
Du Yi said: "As King Ba just said, if I can't protect Badong, even his guards can't defend Bazhong. At the moment of survival, he will definitely come. We will ambush the swordsmen and axemen in the mansion, and the king will Zhang Wei was angered by his words. As long as he dared to take action, he said that he was plotting to assassinate King Ba. He threw a cup as a sign and killed him. Then he sent someone to persuade Yang Ren to surrender. He had no choice but to seize the opportunity to seize his military power and then fight with Liu Qi. Deal with it and act according to the circumstances.”
"Okay, this is a great plan!" Pu Hu was overjoyed and grabbed Du Yi's arm: "With two kings and me joining forces, what's the point of just two Lius?"
The two returned to the team. Du Yi sent Wang Ping to invite Zhang Wei. Wang Ping clasped his fists and said: "I am humble and humble, so I ask King Ba to give me a token so that I can invite the king to Xuanhan."
Without hesitation, Pu Hu took off the tiger tooth necklace from his neck and handed it to Wang Ping. This was a token passed down from the past kings of Ba, which was enough to represent his identity.
Wang Ping carefully put it away and rushed away with several Ba soldiers. Du Yi and others returned to the city to make arrangements.
Zhang Wei was training troops and setting up defenses in Hanchang, and was inquiring about the news in Micangshan and Langzhong. He learned that Zhang Fei was dividing his troops to attack Danqu, and he was even more worried that Pu Hu would not come.
Just when he was worried, the defenders came to report the arrival of the envoy. They hurriedly greeted him, but saw that only one follower, Wang Ping, came. His heart suddenly sank and he asked displeasedly: "What does this mean, King Ji?"
Wang Ping replied: "King Ba has arrived in Xuanhan, but because of the enemy troops appearing in Danqu, he dare not stay away. He just wants to fight against the enemy with King Si..."
"How unreasonable, how dare you deceive me?" Zhang Wei was anxious and angry. After a long quarrel, Ba Ren reconciled himself and put him aside?
Wang Ping said hurriedly: "After King Si persuaded him again and again, King Ba agreed to join forces with the king, but he refused to come to Hanchang and asked the king to go to Xuanhan to discuss matters."
"Hmph, Pu Hu is so brave!" Zhang Wei turned pale with anger and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, hesitating.
Wang Ping took out the tiger tooth necklace: "King Ba also knows that he is no match for Liu Qi, but the enemy is so powerful that he does not dare to leave the territory lightly, so he sent someone down to invite the king. This is a token of Ba Wang."
Zhang Wei took the necklace and confirmed that it belonged to King Ba. He pondered for a moment and asked, "Did King Ba have anything to say to you when you came?"
Wang Ping replied: "King Ji has repeatedly told us that everything is ready. As long as the king comes to Xuanhan, we can join forces to fight against the enemy."
Zhang Wei knew in his heart that the enemy Du Yi was referring to was Pu Hu, so he smiled coldly: "Pu Hu doesn't dare to come to Hanchang. He is probably still afraid of me. Hmph, I will make him look good this time."
He ordered people to take Wang Ping down to rest and invited Yang Ren to discuss. Du Yi tried his best to persuade King Ba to cooperate with Zhang Wei. He was obviously eager to get rid of Pu Hu. As long as Du Yi became the new King Ba, Ba Ren would work for him again. Used.
The two discussed it and decided that Yang Ren would stay in Hanchang while Zhang Wei and Wang Ping went to Xuanhan with 300 elite soldiers to prepare a new king.
When he arrived at the city, he saw Du Yi greeting him at the door. Zhang Wei dismounted and asked, "Where is King Ba?"
Du Yi replied: "A banquet has been prepared in the city, and King Ba is waiting at the government office."
"This King Ba is so arrogant!" Zhang Wei pretended to be displeased and asked in a low voice as he walked: "How is the situation in the city?"
Du Yi replied: "I came to greet the king first. It is for this reason that the swordsman and axemen have been ambushed in the palace. When the time comes, as long as the king announces Pu Hu's crime and throws the cup as a signal, he can immediately rush out and behead him. .”
Zhang Wei was determined, nodded and said with a smile: "From today on, you will be King Ba forever!"
When they arrived at the government office, Pu Hu and Yuan Yue came out to greet him. They pretended to exchange pleasantries and entered the mansion side by side.
At the end, Du Yi ordered Wang Ping to entertain Zhang Wei and Pu Hu's bodyguards. A banquet had already been set up in the courtyard. Everyone found their seats and sat down. The acquaintances shouted to each other and started eating and drinking.
Zhang Wei saw that Pu Hu's personal guards were all arranged outside, and secretly praised Du Yi for making such careful arrangements. Pu Hu would not be able to escape today.
In the lobby, Zhang Wei was sitting in the main seat, with Pu Hu and Du Yi lined up on the left and right. Yuan Yue and several leaders were accompanying them. After three rounds of drinking, they saw Wang Ping and Li Hu standing calmly at the door.
Du Yi frowned and said, "It's so noisy outside that it really disturbs our discussion."
Pu Hu also waved his hands impatiently: "These boys are more serious about drinking and eating meat than fighting. They are making a lot of noise!"
Du Yi shouted to Wang Ping: "You two kings have important matters to discuss, why don't you close the door?"
Zhang Wei watched Wang Ping close the door coldly, and smiled in his heart. Pu Hu didn't realize that he was about to die, and he was still acting like Ba Wang.
Pu Hu also pretended to drink and sneered while Zhang Wei was completely isolated and didn't even notice. What a fool!
