Just as Wei Ba was thinking about his mistakes behind closed doors, the situation in Chengdu gradually changed subtly.

As Wu Yi and others returned to Chengdu, escorting teams of prisoners and a large number of spoils into Chengdu City, the news of the great victory in Xiangyang finally entered the sight of every Chengdu people. The streets and alleys of Chengdu began to discuss this battle of Xiangyang. The Shu Han army mobilized more than 100,000 troops from both sides to Cao Wei with a mere 30,000 troops, and achieved such rich results. Almost every Shu Han person was very excited. Among the Three Kingdoms, Shu Han was the weakest, and Cao Wei was like a beast, which made people frightened even at a glance, and Wu State should not be underestimated. After Liu Bei entered Shu, he first fought for the four counties in Jiangnan, then Guan Yu and Xiangyang, and then Liu Bei failed in the Eastern Expedition, with three consecutive defeats, which made the Shu Han people also have an indescribable fear of Eastern Wu.

Suddenly, the weakest Shu Han played with two powerful opponents at the same time and achieved an unexpected victory. Sun Quan was raided by the Wei army and suffered heavy losses. Cao Rui was raided by the Shu army and almost died. In this way, wouldn’t the combat effectiveness of the Shu Han army be stronger than that of the Wei army?

Ordinary people do not understand the complex strength trade-offs. They only know who wins and who loses. Whoever wins, whoever wins will be stronger. Judging from the current situation, the strength of the Three Kingdoms is of course the number one in Shu Han and Cao Wei second. The Wu Kingdom, which once defeated Shu Han three times in a row, can only be at the bottom.

Such a result naturally became a topic that the people talked about.

Chinese people like to concentrate collective victory and defeat on someone's head. If they win a battle, there will naturally be heroes. As the elder brother of the empress dowager, Wu Yi, who had just passed away, immediately became a hero that everyone expected, with a lot of people every day. The elder brother of the empress Zhang Shao followed closely and welcomed and sent him every day, from opening his eyes to closing his eyes. Other generals who made contributions were no exception. There were endless congratulations and were very lively. People with status and conditions had to hold banquets at home, while ordinary soldiers had to go to the wine market to get drunk, which greatly stimulated Chengdu's economy.

Under the bustle, an undercurrent gradually emerged, and some people began to notice the disharmonious factors in the national celebration. First, someone heard that Wei Ba, who made great contributions in this battle, was not only not among the celebrations, but also had to think about his mistakes behind closed doors. Then someone discovered that Zhang Wen, the envoy of Wu, and Xiahou Xuan, the envoy of Wei, were all in Chengdu, and their purpose of coming to Chengdu was related to one person: Wei Ba Wei joined the army, who was thinking about his mistakes behind closed doors. Wei was afraid of being beaten and sent people to marry, which of course made the people of Shu Han very proud, while the envoy of Wu was not so popular. They came to accuse Wei Ba Wei of joining the army for destroying the alliance.

Ordinary people don’t have so many complicated considerations. Since they have determined that Wei Ba is a hero, whoever goes against the hero is the enemy. The people of Wei come to please Wei Ba, and they can be treated as guests. The people of Wu come to make things difficult for Wei Ba, and then they are unpopular people. This emotion begins to ferment as the weather gradually becomes hot, and it reaches the explosion point in just a few days.

Early in the morning that day, Zhang Wen took the car to the Prime Minister's Mansion. He was worried and frownful. After many days in Chengdu, the Shu army had already returned triumphantly and was about to reward, but his mission still had no hope of perfection. Wei Ba thought about his mistakes behind closed doors, but he refused to admit his mistakes. Zhuge Liang had not made a conclusion on the cooperation mistakes between Han and Wu in the Battle of Xiangyang. He could not return to Wuchang to report to Sun Quan. If he dragged on, Sun Quan would not be able to get into peace. Sun Quan's anger would only grow bigger and bigger, and his situation would only become worse and worse.

Zhang Wen was very anxious. He was now a person to be punished. If Zhuge Liang had not secretly helped him and suggested that Sun Quan was only willing to negotiate with him, Sun Quan would not have let him go. Last time he was implicated in the Ji Yan case, the Zhang family suffered heavy losses. His younger brother Zhang Bai died in a demotion site, and his middle-aged girl also died because she was unwilling to surrender to the official's orders and remarry and drink medicine. His return this time was to endure humiliation and live a life of silence for the revival of the family. If he could not complete the task, the humiliation he endured would have meaningless.

Just as Zhang Wen pondered about how Zhuge Liang forced Wei Ba to bow his head in the end, his appearance attracted the attention of several young girls on the roadside. Zhang Wen was slender, talented, and elegant demeanor of talented men and celebrities. He stood out from the crowd wherever he went. As soon as he appeared on the street, both men and women would praise him whenever he saw him. Zhang Wen was used to these things, so he didn't take the eager attention of those girls too seriously, and was still immersed in his own thoughts.

But he never expected that after one or two of the exclamations at the beginning, the topic of those girls immediately changed fundamentally.

"Who is that man? What a wonderful man."

"Well, it's really beautiful, I seem to have seen it somewhere."

"Hehe, don't be ashamed. How could you have ever seen such a wonderful person?"

"Really, wait for me to think about it." The girl, who was questioned by her companions, rubbed her eyebrows and thought for a moment, suddenly began to think about it, and shouted in surprise: "By the way, he is Zhang Wen, the envoy of Wu, who is older and taller than the envoy of Wei."

"Envoy from Wu?" his companion changed his face immediately: "But I have come to make things difficult for the young man from the Wei family?"

"It seems that. Wu State lost the war and died a prince. It is not a fault for being incompetent, but it is said that it is the fault of the Wei family's young man. Now the Wei family's young man is thinking about his mistakes behind closed doors, and I haven't seen him for many days. Alas, to be honest, although Zhang Wen is beautiful, he is more like a man than the Wei family's young man. Alas, why are you doing my eggs?"

Amid the girl's surprise, her companion ran to Zhang Wen's car with an egg in one hand and a skirt in the other, screaming: "Smash you to death!"

Zhang Wen was used to being watched, and his followers were also used to the fact that girls often approached and cast a flirting at Zhang Wen. They were not wary of the girl's actions. When they found out that the girl was throwing not her charming eyes but an egg, it was too late.

The egg fell accurately on Zhang Wen's face. With a "pop", the eggshell broke, and the egg yolk egg white egg white coat, and it suddenly became a mess.

"Hey, you woman, so rude!" The followers came forward, stopped the girl who was about to rush up and spit out another spit, and pulled out the sword to intimidate. The girl was not afraid at all. While searching for weapons that could be used, she cursed: "You turtle, you are not capable of hitting the people of Wei, but you are really shameless. Your king is even more shameless. His son died at the hands of the people of Wei and did not dare to seek revenge on the people of Wei, but came to our Chengdu to cause trouble. Are we Yizhou people easy to bully?"

Zhang Wen and others were scolded and blushed and speechless for a moment. Someone came up to drive away the girl, but the girl refused to leave. She screamed and cursed while pushing and shoving. Her companions also rushed to help, and they were talking and making noise. Their screams attracted more people. Many people who had just come out of the market surrounded her and watched the fun with joy. When they heard that this person was an envoy of Wu and was a hero of Wei Ba who came to blame the battle in Xiangyang, the crowd suddenly became angry.

"Smash him, smash him!" More people shouted, and a dish flew towards Zhang Wen.

"Smash this shameless Wu man." Another egg flew out.

"Go back to your Wu Kingdom, you are not welcome!" A mouthful of thick phlegm flew over several steps, and a "pop" stuck to the face of a follower.

Zhang Wen was stunned. Faced with this situation, he was not prepared at all. No one had ever thought that the trouble would come to avenge. The always docile Chengdu people actually attacked him collectively, cursing dirty words in their mouths, throwing stones and bricks in their hands, and all kinds of vegetables, mixed with saliva and thick phlegm.

"Go away, go away!" Zhang Wen shouted repeatedly.

The driver waved the whip and wanted to drive away, but found that the road was blocked and the horse could not run at all. His whip movement caused even greater riots. Someone in the crowd shouted: "Wu Gou is beating someone!"

"Beat him!" The angry people surrounded him. Some grabbed the reins, some grabbed the carriage, and some reached out to Zhang Wen on the carriage. Zhang Wen was shocked and jumped out of the carriage without thinking, shouting: "Go away, go quickly!"

Seeing that the situation was out of control, the followers immediately rushed over and hugged Zhang Wenhu in the center and broke out. They did not dare to kill people in the street, but they dared to use scabbards and rings to push them to block them. However, this still made the onlookers angry, and someone immediately shouted: "Wu Gou kills people, Wu Gou kills people!"

When they heard that they had killed someone, some people became timid and retreated, while others became even more angry and rushed up with a roar. Zhang Wen's entourage did not dare to fight and protected Zhang Wen and fled. The angry people chased out of a street and then dispersed in disappointment.

Zhang Wen was in a mess. The crown on his head fell off, his hair spread out, eggs flowed on his face, and a few vegetable leaves were stuck. The spotless Yue cloth clothes on his body were also dirty. Looking at the same panic, Zhang Wen wanted to cry without tears. He thought about it, but he didn't go back to change his clothes, so he rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion. The soldiers of the Prime Minister's Mansion were shocked when they saw him in this way. They thought that a refugee came to call for justice. When they recognized him as an envoy of Wu, they hurried into the mansion to report.

Zhuge Liang was shocked when he heard the news. He rushed out immediately, took Zhang Wen's hand, and said for a while: "Huishu, this is..."

"Oh, Prime Minister, I have become an enemy of all Chengdu people." Zhang Wen sighed and roughly said the story: "If you don't take out a charter and ask me to leave early. If someone hit me with vegetable leaves and eggs today, I'm afraid no one will kill me with a knife tomorrow."

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Hui Shu, do you think I don't want it? I'm also in a difficult situation now. Come with me..." He led Zhang Wen to the hall, took out a stack of documents and placed it in front of Zhang Wen: "Look, these are all accusations for Wei Ba." He took out a piece of unique paper from the side: "This is our Majesty's inquiry. Even he knew that Wei Ba was wronged. What should you do? I admit today that it was Wei Ba's mistake. Maybe someone would treat me like this tomorrow."

Zhang Wen looked at Zhuge Liang in surprise and took a breath of air: "Prime Minister, this is someone who is behind the scenes."
