Treacherous ministers have deep routines

Wei Man played chess with Yuan Tan, and Zhang Rang went back.

Silent all night.

Because Wei Man and Yuan Tan really played chess all night, no one said a word.

Wei Man's chess skills are very bad, Yuan Tan is conceited and arty, playing chess with Wei Man is simply a kind of poison.

However, Wei Man is true to his word and will accompany him to the end!

The two looked at each other silently, they kept playing chess, kept playing chess, kept playing chess...

After the third watch, it was almost the fourth watch. In the dead of night, everything was quiet. Yuan Tan couldn't stand it anymore, so he couldn't help surrendering.

Wei Man saw that Yuan Tan had surrendered, so he stopped embarrassing him and got up to leave.

Although Wei Man played chess all night, he felt refreshed. He used to guard the West Garden and often stayed up for three days and three nights. Even if he couldn't sleep for ten days, it was not a problem.

Therefore, just staying up all night does not trouble Wei Man.

Wei Man left Yuan Tan's tent and wanted to go back to his own tent. At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of "russling..." from a corner.

Wei Man was on guard immediately, reached out to press the sword on his waist, followed quickly, and walked towards the voice.

I saw a few men in black sneaking into the camp secretly, and heading towards Yuan Shaotun's granary. Not only that, smoke was already coming out of the granary, but the fire was not too big.

It was the fourth watch time, and when everyone was fast asleep, no one noticed that the assassins had come to the camp.

When Wei Man saw it, he immediately drew his sword with a "chi" and rushed forward.

When those dead assassins heard the movement, they were surprised to be discovered, and quickly shouted: "Retreat!"

Wei Man drew his sword out, and quickly grabbed it, "Shua—" he swung his long sword, blocked the path of those dead soldiers, and said with a sneer, "A few little thieves stole chickens and dogs, so you want to leave?"

The granary was on fire, and there were sneak attacks by dead men. As soon as the fire smoked, the voice of "Kill!" was heard immediately, and more black-clothed dead men rushed into the camp.

Wei Man was startled secretly, and quickly raised his sword to block it.

"When——!!!" There was a loud noise, and a spear/spear flew towards him in an instant, and the long knife of the dead man was swung away with a loud noise.

Immediately, a black shadow rushed into the crowd and shouted: "Brother, Yuan Rang will help you!"

Wei Man saw that it was Xia Yuanyun.

Xia Yuanyun flew into the enemy group, the sound was too loud, there was thick smoke and fire, the dead soldiers gathered together, and the momentum was not small, Wei Ying and Yuan Shao's troops immediately found out and rushed out quickly.

The daily defense arrangements in Wei Man's camp were all conducted by Xia Yuanyun himself, and they were all excellent. There were also people in Yuan Shao's camp who arranged defenses. However, because he was already close to the Suanzao meeting place, Yuan Shao felt relieved and slowed down. Bad luck.

Unexpectedly, it was just like this, so the sly warrior with ulterior motives took advantage of the loophole and sneaked in to burn food!

If Wei Man hadn't discovered immediately that so much food and grass were flammable, they would be burned to ashes in an instant.

"There are assassins!!!"

"Someone attacked at night!!"

"The granary is on fire—"

In an instant, the camp became chaotic. Although there were soldiers on duty, the other soldiers were sleeping peacefully, without armor or weapons, and there was confusion for a while.

Yuan Shao, Yuan Tan and others also rushed out, and Yuan Shao shouted angrily: "Young Li Zi!! Take them all for me! Catch them alive!"

It was so chaotic here, Zhang Rang also heard the commotion, put on his clothes and hurried out to see what was going on, but was stopped by Wei Man and said: "Don't go there, be careful."

As soon as Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses arrived, Wei Man immediately withdrew. After all, it wasn't his family's food that was burned, and Wei Man's ability to help stop the leader was considered as the best of his benevolence.

Moreover, although there are many dead soldiers, compared with the army, they are like hitting a stone with an egg.

It didn't take a moment for all the dead men to be caught, but those dead men seemed to have calculated that once they were caught, they would immediately commit suicide by taking poison.

Yuan Shao didn't care too much anymore, and commanded the soldiers to yell, "Put out the fire!! Hurry up! Rescue the food and grass! It must be Dong's gangster! I heard that I was going to meet in Suanzao, so I plotted against it. It's really abominable!"

Yuan Shao was furious, Zhang Rang hurriedly checked the dead soldiers who had died, Wei Man was afraid that he might be poisoned, so he said, "Be careful."

Zhang Rang nodded, showing no sign of fear. After checking it again, he was indeed out of breath, without a pulse, and could not be rescued.

Zhang Rang had an occupational disease for a while, and checked several corpses, and found that they were not special, nor did they have any similarities, and they looked ordinary.

Yuan Shao asked people to fight the fire, and kept yelling angrily, and then said: "No way! These dead men have already targeted our camp. If we send people to attack again, what should we do? We must set off immediately and rush to Suanzao!"

Wei Man frowned when he heard this, and said, "Duke Yuan, my younger brother privately thinks it's inappropriate to do this. Duke Yuan has many soldiers, and all of them are elites. Including our soldiers and horses, there are more than [-] soldiers. Why are you afraid of some petty thieves? The reason why this group of dead men were able to sneak attack successfully was because they were caught by surprise and burned food at night. Now we are already on guard. If the dead men come again and kill one by one, what is there to be afraid of?!"

When Wei Man said that, everyone else nodded, even Yuan Shao's generals also nodded.

Yuan Shao's face was refuted, he was old and had a high position, Wei Man did not give him face so much, if he listened to Wei Man's words, how would he convince the public in the future?

So Yuan Shao sneered and retorted: "In the face of righteousness, how can we show the courage of ordinary people?!"

Wei Man was misunderstood by Yuan Shao as showing the courage of an ordinary man, and immediately said: "What is the courage of an ordinary man? The number of Mr. Yuan's men and horses combined with our army is considerable, but there are very few dead men. Whether it is the dead men sent by Dong Thief or others With ulterior motives, the incoming soldiers will definitely not be able to compete with our two armies, and it is safest to stay where they are. If they leave in a hurry before dawn, they may fall into the trap of thieves instead!"

Wei Man's analysis is very reasonable, but Yuan Shao still has something to say: "It's less than half a day's journey away from Suanzao, what kind of ambush and trap can there be? Captain Wei, don't scare me! If you don't leave, we will go on our own." !"

As Yuan Shao said, he didn't listen to Wei Man's words, and immediately ordered Yuan Tan to rectify his troops and horses, and then set off.

It was only four o'clock, and it was winter again, and the sky was extremely dark. Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses hadn't woken up yet, so they all put on their armors and grabbed their weapons in a hurry. on the ground.

Wei Man watched these people leave in a hurry, but only squinted his eyes and said, "Stupid and unrepentant."

Yuan Shao's army left, and Wei Man's army immediately left less than 1 people. Although they were all elites, the number was too small. Therefore, Wei Man asked Xia Yuanyun to pass down the order and guard it strictly, not letting a mosquito fly into the camp. middle.

Xia Yuanyun received the order, and now he will do it.

Wei Man suddenly said, "Wait a minute!"

Xia Yuanyun came back again, cupped his hands and said, "Master!"

Wei Man narrowed his eyes, and suddenly said: "Let Lu Bu put on his armor, it's time for him to serve our Han family."

Xia Yuanyun cupped his fists and said, "Yuan Rang respects you!"

As he said, he left quickly and passed the order.

Wei Man's army quickly rectified, and Wei Man said to Zhang Rang: "I don't know if there will be more dead soldiers breaking into the camp. Our army is staying today, so you stay in the camp. It's better to be careful."

Zhang Rang didn't show any signs of fear, he seemed calmer than Yuan Shao who had been burned, and said, "Rang knows, and he won't hold back General Wei."

Hearing what Zhang Rang said, Wei Man was very relieved. Although Zhang Rang was indeed very irritating in some matters, but in key matters, Zhang Rang had never done anything bad to hinder Wei Man. Instead, he always helped Wei Man. , Repeatedly made extraordinary achievements!

It’s true, I don’t blame Zhang Rang for being so obsessed with emotions. First, because of his brain, he can’t understand the emotional changes of ordinary people. Second, because he can’t understand, he doesn’t have any emotional experience. Not to mention being in love, she was like a blank sheet of paper, spotless.

It's no wonder that Zhang Rang always speaks surprisingly in the face of other people's teasing. If Zhang Rang feels dull because of these, it would be too demanding of others.

Although Zhang Rang is "bad in the brain" and "can't turn it off" in terms of feelings/things, but in other aspects, whether it is talent or hands-on ability, he is absolutely outstanding.

Therefore, Wei Man was very relieved after hearing his affirmation, and went out to deal with other affairs on his own.

Not long after dawn, Zhang Rang smelled a strong smell of blood. Accompanied by the sound of hooves, a group of people came quickly.

Zhang Rang thought it was a sneak attack from dead soldiers again, so he quickly opened the curtain to take a look, but saw a group of horses coming from a distance, they were not dead soldiers, because the cavalry held high the banner with Yuan characters, and seemed to be afraid that Wei Man and the others might misunderstand .

Hearing the sound, Wei Man immediately went over to have a look, and saw Yuan Tan was in armor, covered in blood, with mud on his face, holding a big banner, followed by ten scattered people, rushing towards him .

As Yuan Tan rushed over, he yelled loudly with a cracked voice: "General Wei!! General Wei! Please, General Wei, help the army and help my father!"

As soon as Wei Man heard it, he knew the reason without Yuan Tan's detailed explanation. He must have let himself know for sure. Yuan Shao's army did not wait for dawn to hurry, and they encountered an ambush on the way.

Yuan Tan came galloping, fell off his horse, got up in a hurry, and shouted: "General Wei, our army is in an ambush in the valley ahead. It's Tong Gao's men! The leader is Tong Gao's general Zhang Ji! It's Zhang Ji!" Help! Our army has suffered heavy casualties, and we ask General Wei to help! Help!"

Yuan Tan came on a galloping horse, and fell to the ground. It seemed that Yuan Shao's team had suffered heavy casualties. Yuan Tan's soul had already flown away, and he didn't even notice Lu Bu who was standing beside Wei Man.

Lu Bu was dressed in red and black armor, holding Fang Tian's painted halberd, sneered, and said, "So it's Zhang Ji?"

Lu Bu knew Zhang Ji. He was still in Luoyang in the old days. Zhang Ji was under Lu Bu's command. Come back with a shy face to rescue soldiers?

Lu Bu said, "How about it, should we save it or not?"

Wei Man immediately squinted his eyes and thought, Yuan Shao has many soldiers and horses, Zhang Ji is good at ambushes, but ambushes are more expensive than large, which means that the number is definitely not as good as Yuan Shao.

If Yuan Shao fought to the end, even if the casualties were heavy, he would surely be able to get out of trouble.

Yuan Shao can't die, but he can still join the alliance, if he tells himself to stand by and watch, wouldn't it be a disadvantage?

Why don't you show kindness now and help me out, if this matter gets out, it will be beneficial to you in the alliance.

Wei Man's current experience is still lacking in this kind of virtuous deeds.

Then he raised his lips and smiled, his face was quite ferocious, and there was some unspeakable excitement, and he said, "Help! Of course I just want to help, Lu Bu, you guard the camp, don't let the thieves steal your free time, Yuan Rang come with me!"

When he said this, Zhang Rang ran out of the tent and said, "Let me go with you."

Wei Man was a little surprised. They were going to rescue them, and they would definitely meet Zhang Ji in arms. Bleeding and beheadings would not be uncommon. What would Zhang Rang, a powerless literati, do with the past?

Zhang Rang said: "I can help save people. Doesn't it mean that the casualties are heavy? Do you really need a doctor?"

It makes sense for him to say that, besides...

Wei Man had another concern. Yuan Tan was in the camp with his cronies. If he had a bad idea about Zhang Rang and wanted to take Zhang Rang away, he couldn't feel at ease. The loss would not be a famous person, but also a The treasures of an incomparably rich country.

So Wei Man thought for a while, and said: "Okay, come with me, you must follow me, never leave!"

Zhang Rang nodded immediately, Wei Man beckoned, and the supporting army set off quickly, and everyone rushed towards the valley not far from here.

This place is not far from Suanzao. Although Tong Gao sent troops to disrupt the alliance, he really couldn't send too many troops. After all, the east of Luoyang City was cut off by warlords from various places, and they did their own things and did not listen to his command.

It is not easy to send Zhang Ji to attack.

Wei Man and his party rushed towards him. Wei Man deliberately left his horse, Jue Ying, to Zhang Rang. Because Jue Ying was very spiritual and able to protect his master, he rode other horses himself.

Yuan Shao's army was meeting Zhang Ji, and it was very tragic. There were dead bodies all over the mountains and fields. Zhang Ji occupied the favorable terrain of the valley, and the sky was full of arrows, and Yuan Shao's army could only eat the arrows.

Wei Man saw it, and immediately said: "Yuan Rang, you must take over Zhang Ji's lair if you lead your troops up the mountain."

Xia Yuanyun cupped his hands and said, "Yes!"

Xia Yuanyun quickly led people to outflank the surrounding area, and went over the mountain to block Zhang Ji's flying arrows.

But the valley was steep and it was not easy to turn it over. In addition, Zhang Ji had a steady mind and sent troops to defend it.

Looking at the scene of Aihong, Zhang Rang's eyes seemed to be dyed red. Looking around, there was bright red everywhere, but his face was not moved at all, he just frowned.

Zhang Rang immediately said to Wei Man, "Wei Xiaowei please give an order immediately to raise the military flag, so that Zhang Ji's attention can be attracted and Yuan Rang can be fully covered."

When Zhang Rang said this, Wei Man's eyes lit up. He was the commander in chief of the army, and he was already eye-catching. If the army flag was raised, Zhang Ji would definitely take the bait.

Wei Man didn't hesitate for a moment, and immediately said loudly: "Raise the military flag, and show some color to Dong Bandit's army!"

Wei Man ordered loudly, and the soldiers quickly raised the military flag, and waved the military flag with the word Wei in the east wind.

The blood-red military flag, mixed with bright red blood, is almost connected into one piece, dyeing the whole valley red.

As expected, Zhang Ji's archers were caught in the trap, attracted by Wei Man's military flag, and immediately arrows rained down on the military flag.

Wei Man said to Zhang Rang: "Back, get out!"

Zhang Rang immediately stopped Jueying and was about to retreat, but at this moment, a silver light flashed, and a arrow flew towards Wei Man's back heart.

Wei Man was talking to Zhang Rang, and he covered Zhang Rang back, but he didn't notice the cold arrow at all.

Jueying snorted, Zhang Rang reacted immediately, shook the rein of the horse, and instead of retreating, he directly urged the horse to rush towards Wei Man.

Wei Man realized that there was no way to avoid the cold arrow, but Zhang Rang, who is usually a hard-hearted person, reined in his horse and rushed towards him.

"Bang!!" It slammed into Wei Man fiercely.

"呲-"

Wei Man only felt a hot stream of blood spraying on his neck, and then he heard someone yelling in his ears: "Mr. Changqiu! Mr. Changqiu!!"
