Chenshui Pass, twenty miles outside the city gate in the north.
Tsuneshiro stopped his march.
"Lord, stay far away."
"I think back then, I sold rice and he sold wine. Since we are both businessmen, there should be rules. When the army comes to the city, it will be difficult to do business."
"Lord, what should I do?"
"Send someone there. Chang Wei, boy, send me a letter to the guy who started selling wine."
…
Outside Chenshui Pass, Chang Wei shuddered and howled twice towards the city.
"Chang Wei?" On the top of the city, Xu Mu looked surprised. He knew that Tsuneshiro's army was not far away. He said that he would send someone here, but he never thought that the person who came would be Chang Wei.
"Someone, open the city gate."
"Little master, those people on top of your city raised their bows when they saw me earlier." Chang Wei kept chattering, "I always told the young master, you two should not fight, don't fight, it has been for many years. Old friends, I will cry if the young master dies, I will cry if the little boss dies... and if Silly Tiger dies, I will probably shed a few tears."
Xu Mu listened silently.
Chang Wei's temperament is similar to that of Si Hu, and he is the kind of person who takes pride of place. But he couldn't explain clearly the matter of the competition.
"Where's my silly tiger?"
"Stay in Chengdu and coax the big boy." Xu Mu smiled, asked someone to bring hot tea, and helped Chang Wei pour a cup.
"Already have a baby?" Chang Wei looked shocked, "This, this guy... actually didn't wait for me. By the way, little boss, does he know how to uproot trees when he is born?"
"That's not true..." Xu Mu said with a smile, "Chang Wei, you are not young anymore. Don't look for a little flower girl anymore. Find a good girl to get married to."
"Don't talk nonsense, little boss. I always take a detour when I pass by the Qingguan."
Xu Mu rubbed his forehead and simply stopped answering.
Chang Wei laughed and finally took out a secret letter from his arms.
"Okay, I won't delay it anymore. This is what my young master asked me to bring to you."
Xu Mu took the letter, and when he opened it, he saw that it was as familiar as ever. The girl's beautiful handwriting was written by Chang Shiro.
The content of the letter made him silent for a long time.
Chang Shiro's intention was for him to abandon Chen Shuiguan and return to Jiangnan. Therefore, Changsheng can also turn back to the inner city from the direction of Chenshui Pass.
The letter also mentioned that Dongfang Jing had captured Dayuan Pass and occupied half of Lizhou. To be honest, Xi Shu has a greater chance of winning in this confrontation.
Except for Lao Huang's and Ma Yi's deaths.
This letter is to maintain the victory. Of course, Changshiro's intention would also allow him to lead the garrison of more than 10,000 people and return to Jiangnan safely. But the occupied Chenshui Pass will be given to Beiyu.
Putting aside all factors, this letter alone was written by Chang Shiro and sent by Chang Wei. Since he proposed it, based on his understanding of Changshiro, there must be no regrets or deceit.
"The young master said that the heavier the winter snow is, the Chinese New Year will be over soon, so let's not fight now."
Chang Wei didn't know that at this time, Xu Mu felt a warmth in his heart. In a daze, it was back to the days when you sold food and I sold wine.
"Chang Wei, tell your young master that I promised him."
Chang Wei nodded, and suddenly spoke mysteriously, "My dear boss, why don't I ask the young master for you, can we all sit down together and have a glass of hot wine?"
"I have no problem." Xu Mu was silent for a while before speaking.
…
"I'm not going." In the wind and snow, Chang Shiro waved his hands, "When I saw him, I didn't want to fight him even more. If I didn't fight, I would be sorry for old Zhongde and those old ghosts who followed me to make trouble. Family."
"Master, go, go." Chang Wei, who came back from Chenshui Pass, kept begging.
"If you do it again, I'll slap you!"
"Master, whip me before you go!"
Tsuneshiro raised his head and remained silent for a while, but still waved his hand.
"I said earlier that when we meet again, it will be a time of mourning. Go to the egg and don't go. Hurry to the south gate of Chenshui Pass and tell Chang Sheng that when the little boss leaves the city, don't use the knife... Forget it, You ask him to lead his troops and retreat twenty miles to the west, and then say it is my wish."
"Master, I'll remove the egg, and you'll send someone else." Chang Wei frowned, probably because he had been rejected.
"Other than you, Chang Wei, who the hell can come and go unscathed in front of me and my little boss? Are you going?"
"Master, let's get together with my little boss..."
"If you don't go, I will order all the shops to close down for half a year when I return to the inner city."
Chang Wei quickly got on his horse and ran in the direction of Chen Shuiguan again.
After passing Chenshui Pass and galloping for more than 20 miles, we arrived at Changsheng Camp not far from the south city gate.
Chang Sheng's face was extremely excited when he saw Chang Wei. Although they are two family generals, the two of them have played together since childhood.
"Chang Wei, you mean that my lord made a deal to allow King Xu Shu to return to Jiangnan safely and abandon Chen Shuiguan?"
"Exactly."
Chang Sheng was silent for a while, then smiled and spoke.
"Of course I have no objection. I listen to your lord."
Chang Wei nodded, "My lord also said that you should retreat twenty miles to the west. Let the little boss leave safely."
Chang Sheng frowned but still nodded.
"Of course. Chang Wei, you go back first."
"My lord asked me to stay."
Chang Wei's last words made the little Fulong military advisor finally look up and sigh. He understood that his clan brother had guessed his thoughts and that's why he let Chang Wei stay.
"The army obeyed the order and retreated twenty miles to the west."
Chang Sheng's eyes were full of contemplation.
He is not afraid of death. If he can die and die together with King Xu Shu, he is also willing. But with his brother's temper, he would definitely not agree.
Although Qingfeng was killed in this difficult layout, Jiang Meng also died. Moreover, from Chang Wei's mouth, he also knew that Dawan Pass was captured by the lame man in one fell swoop.
Seriously speaking, it was Beiyu's strategy that turned into a disadvantage. Right now, there is only one last chance left to reverse this disadvantage. Just like back then, when Poisonous Eagle entered the inner city to treat his illness, his teacher also agreed on the surface but secretly took action.
Just as Chang Sheng was thinking about it, unexpectedly, a scout's voice made him freeze on the spot.
"Military advisor, something bad has happened. Reinforcements from the Shu people have crossed the river!"
…
20,000 people overran the camp, 20,000 soldiers from Xishu, and even 10,000 men from Miao Tong's navy were assigned to follow them ashore.
A total of more than 50,000 Shu soldiers marched quickly towards Chenshui Pass from the direction of the river bank.
"Little Bow Dog, who do you think wants to touch Brother Mu?" Si Hu, who was riding a tall horse, wearing thick armor and carrying a giant ax, sounded furious.
"Who else! It's Chang Sheng!"
"I'll chop him!" Si Hu screamed angrily and kept gesturing with the giant ax in his hand. When he heard that his brother was trapped, he hurriedly threw his elder brother on the bed, dragged his giant ax on his horse, and quickly left the city.
