Jiang Wei was very tired and hungry. He had not had dinner for three consecutive days. Yesterday he fled to Shanggui and wanted to join Ma Zun and others to discuss how to retreat to the enemy. Ma Chao's appearance made Jiang Wei dare not look down on the Han army anymore. The Han army was well-trained and a hundred thousand troops came. Jiang Wei wanted to suggest Ma Zun to implement the strategy of strengthening the wall and clearing the field. No matter what, he would pass this level first. As long as he persisted until Zhang He's army came to help and block the main force of the Han army here, the Han army in Chencang and Mei County were just partial troops and could not attack Guanzhong. Then, when a large number of reinforcements from the court arrived, he won the battle.

Jiang Wei's idea was undoubtedly very clear. The Han army sent troops from Shu and would definitely not be able to fight for a long time. As long as it was exhausted, the other party would definitely retreat.

However, the fact that the arrival of the marina was beyond Jiang Wei's expectations so quickly. Moreover, after Zhang Bao discovered Jiang Wei's team of troops, he left the city to pursue. Jiang Wei relied on the familiar terrain and took a day to get rid of Zhang Bao, but there were only a dozen followers left by his side. He had not had a meal for three consecutive days. Seeing Ji County far away and the flag of Wei was still hanging on the top of the city, Jiang Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Wei was very disappointed that Ma Zun and others had lost an important city like Shanggui without a single arrow. To be honest, he was not afraid of how strong the enemy was. No matter how hard the enemy was, he could bear it even if he had a better enemy. However, he could not say that his own people were inaction and the opponent was superior to his superiors. This made Jiang Wei feel a little discouraged and lazy. At this moment, he didn't want to make any achievements now. He just wanted to go home to meet his elderly mother. As for war, if Ma Zun listened to him, he would just take his mother to Zhang He to join the army, and there would always be a place to use his skills.

The gate of Ji County was closed, and Jiang Wei came to the city and called out: "Brothers in the city, my nanny Jiang Wei, hurry up and open the city and let me wait."

"You are joining the army!" The guard at the top of the city obviously recognized Jiang Wei, but did not open the city immediately. Instead, he clasped his fists at Jiang Wei and said, "Join the army for a while, and then go to the emperor of the Mansion."

"Why do you still have to..." Jiang Wei was a little dissatisfied when he heard this. He was not that he didn't recognize him, so why did he notify the Duke? But before he finished speaking, the other party had already left. Jiang Wei could only swallow the rest of his words back into his stomach and waited silently.

"Cruff~"

After a full quarter of an hour, just as Jiang Wei and his followers were impatiently waiting, the city gate suddenly opened.

Jiang Wei, who was full of breath, was about to go in, but saw Ma Zun, with Liang Xu, Yin Shang and Liang Qian, warmly welcome him in.

"Mr. Fu, this is..." Jiang Wei was a little confused. Although he was resentful, he never thought he would receive such a grand treatment. After all, he lost the city this time and was even ready to be complained by Ma Zun. Who knew that the city gate would look like this after it was opened.

"Boyo is finally back!" Ma Zun said to Jiang Wei: "We have already discussed it and decided to abandon the darkness and turn to the light with you, and work with the great man, so that Tianshui can return to orthodox!"

Jiang Wei's cheeks twitched twice, and he quickly shook his head and said, "What are you saying about Fujun? I have never surrendered!"

"I understand!" Ma Zun pulled Jiang Wei and waved his hand: "Hurry, why don't you replace the flag yet!?"

There were already soldiers on the top of the city who replaced the flag of Cao Wei with the newly prepared Han flag. Jiang Wei was stunned: "Mr., the last general did not mean this... No, although our army was defeated for a while, it was because the last general underestimated the enemy. We only needed to strengthen the walls and clear the field, withdraw the population and food to Linzhao. Even if the Han army came, it would be useless. Just wait for General Zhang He's army to come, and our army would be able to win!"

"Oh~" Ma Zun shook his head and sighed: "I know Bojo doesn't believe it, but we are sincere. Bojo must not be suspicious. I have ordered people to send surrender to the General of the Chariot and Cavalry. My Han army is about to arrive. Bojo quickly follows me to prepare to welcome the Heavenly Army!"

"I..." Jiang Wei wanted to explain something, but Ma Zun gave him a chance. Without saying a word, he pulled Jiang Wei back.

Jiang Wei explained several times, but Ma Zun and others regarded it as an excuse. Perhaps it was not that Ma Zun and others did not understand, but that they needed to understand. How Ren Jiang Wei explained it. In the eyes of Ma Zun and others, Jiang Wei had already joined the Han army, and before Jiang Wei returned, he had already started to spread news in the city, so that everyone knew that Tianshui had surrendered to the Han Dynasty.

It was not until late at night that Jiang Wei woke up from the enthusiastic offensive of Ma Zun and others and realized that Ma Zun and others did not know what they wanted to say, but they just didn't want to understand. Especially when the other party was walking around the city, Jiang Wei had already committed suicide. In order to protect the people of Tianshui, they did not want to be warned here again, so they decided to follow Jiang Wei to vote for the great man.

It seemed that there was no problem, but who was Jiang Wei? He quickly realized that the other party wanted to add surrender to himself. If Cao's army came back in the future, they could continue to separate their relationship on this ground. If they could not, then they would be with Liu Bei. No matter how they calculated, they would not suffer any loss.

Thinking about this clearly, Jiang Wei felt a little bitter. Even if he firmly opposed it, the news might have been spread.

"Why are you feeling depressed?" His wife, Liu, looked at Jiang Wei's expression and gave Jiang Wei a bowl of porridge, caring for him.

"Oh~" Jiang Wei smiled bitterly, looked at his wife, and asked: "Have you ever slept peacefully?"

"I've already fallen asleep." Liu nodded and said.

"Thank you for these hard times, Madam." Jiang Wei pulled his wife's hand and said.

"My husband is so serious, but he is out of the battle, and my mother and I are still worried after all." Liu shook his head and said, "Why haven't you said anything about depression?"

"I, I don't even know why, but I became the Han army inexplicably." Jiang Wei said with a wry smile.

"Why is this?"

"They were afraid of the Han army and wanted to surrender, but they were worried that the Great Wei soldiers and horses would not be able to explain it." Jiang Wei sighed and said, "I will take me as the leader. If the Great Wei soldiers and horses really come back in the future, I will be a sinner."

"What is your husband planning?" Liu asked.

"I used to think that men should make achievements, but in this officialdom, there were strange waves and sometimes I didn't want to get involved in it anymore. I thought that the Han Dynasty had already been exhausted, but now Liu Bei was gradually becoming prosperous. He came out of Shu this time and came to General Zhang's office a few days ago. However, there was no reply yet. I'm afraid that something happened to General Zhang. If the Han Dynasty could occupy the land of Guanlong this time, it was unknown who belonged to the world in the future. I wonder what his wife has to do with her?" Jiang Wei knew that her wife was quite knowledgeable and would always talk to her on weekdays, and she would not avoid it.

"I think that since the house has been completed at this time, if the king of the palace still returns to Cao Wei, the Wei Kingdom may not accept it. It is better to help the Han. Even if he is defeated in this battle, he can retreat to Shu calmly. If he can win, why worry about not being able to be a marquis and generals?" Liu smiled quietly: "Besides, although the Wei Kingdom is big, there are many powers in the court. If the husband enters the Great Wei Kingdom, he has no foundation in the court. Perhaps he has not yet shown his talent and knowledge, he will be harmed by villains. However, the Han Dynasty is now at the moment of using people. His husband is very talented and will definitely be valued. If he can help the Han Dynasty pacify the world, why should he worry about these people now?"

Jiang Wei nodded silently. If Ma Zun didn't play this trick, Jiang Wei would probably not be able to surrender. At worst, he would take his family to An Ding Ding and join the army in Chang'an and make a fortune one day.

But now that Ma Zun and others made such a fuss, it became irrelevant whether Jiang Wei surrendered or not. Regardless of whether he surrendered or not, in the eyes of others, he surrendered in the end, and there may not be anyone who believes it. It is better to join the Han camp and serve the Han Dynasty, and it is easier to make achievements.

"What the wife said is so paranoid for her husband." Jiang Wei looked at her wife and smiled.

As for loyalty, Cao Wei has only been seven years since its founding, and the influence of the Han Dynasty is still there. For people in remote places like Tianshui, the concept of loyalty is relatively weak, and there are not many choices at this point. Jiang Wei was young and arrogant. Since Cao Wei could not tolerate him, what could he do if he defected to the Han Dynasty?

"To be honest, this is a horse that has come down to the city." Today, the guide Ma Zun and others looked like that, Jiang Wei shook his head disdainfully. Even if he surrendered, Jiang Wei owed even a little favor to such a person who wanted to surrender but did not want to bear the consequences.

There was nothing to say all night. The next morning, Jiang Wei, who was well-minded, began to send people to inform Zhang Fei that he was willing to surrender, but he began to take charge of Ji County, appease the people, and wait for the Han army to come and take in the incorporation.

He refused everyone to Ma Zun and others for their politeness and compliments.

...

When Zhang Fei received Jiang Wei's surrender book, he was a little confused for a moment and looked at Pang Tong and said, "That's the end? What's your plan so effective?"

"This Tianshui is far away from the center of Cao Wei, the place in Guanzhong, and has suffered from wars for many years. There is no loyalty or righteousness at all. But I didn't expect that Ma Zun and others would do so thoroughly!" Pang Tong nodded and shook his head. Originally, his intention was to make Ma Zun and others reject Jiang Wei, so that Jiang Wei felt aggrieved and dissatisfied, and then he came forward to surrender Jiang Wei.

Who would have thought that Ma Zun surrendered to Jiang Wei directly, which was easier to save trouble. However, Pang Tong didn't have time to use many of the follow-up methods, and the other party became his own, which made Pang Tong a little depressed.

"I just received a letter from Zhang Ren, please check it out." Zhang Fei nodded, still feeling that this matter was a bit weird. He handed the letter from Zhang Ren to Pang Tong. He thought it would be better to study it now.

"General Zhang Ren has been stationed in Jieting, but Zhang He actually has a job with 30,000 troops?" Pang Tong put down the bamboo slips and looked at Zhang Fei and said, "In theory, Cao Wei should have a reaction now, right?"

"Oh, by the way, that... Bo Yuan has captured Hangu Pass, and the second brother has also broken Yique Pass, which may have something to do with this..." Zhang Fei looked at Pang Tong's gradually widening eyes, and his voice gradually lowered.
