In the past few days, Wei Yan was so idle that he couldn't sit still. Langzhong has not yet been assigned to Zhao Wei, an old fox, and he always gives him food and grass. It will inevitably be difficult to continue to move westward, so he can only wait for the time being.
When I was bored, I went into the mountains to hunt.
On this day, Wei Yan just returned to the camp, but he saw Zhao Wei's nephew coming outside the city. When he saw Wei Yan, he smiled happily and said cheerfully: "General Wei! It's easy for me to wait!"
"Haha, since we are here, why not eat some game together?" Wei Yan gestured to some hares, pheasants and other things he had brought, "It just so happened that someone was able to hunt some..."
"Haha, I was going to make a fuss, but a certain general held a banquet in the city and invited General Wei to honor him..."
"Have a banquet?" Wei Yan asked, "Why?"
"What a happy event!" Zhao Wei's nephew even said, "General Wei will know about it after meeting a certain general."
Wei Yan pondered for a moment and said, "Okay! I'll come after I arrange the military affairs first!"
Du Hu, who had followed Wei Yan, was a little worried. He glanced at Zhao Wei's nephew who was waiting outside the camp and said: "General Wei, what kind of banquet is being held suddenly... will there be any problems? Just like you
What door are the Han people talking about?"
"Hey! You know a lot!" Wei Yan laughed loudly, as if he didn't care about his own safety at all, "Who cares! If Zhao Wei really had the courage, he would have taken action long ago! Why bother to hold a Hongmen Banquet?
Is this unnecessary? If we are afraid of the head and the tail, wouldn't it look even more guilty? Don't forget, I am Wei Wenchang under Zhengxi now!"
Du Hu followed Wei Yan, and watched Wei Yan defeat enemies all the way, even like a stick, messing up the balance of power in Sichuan and Shu. Maybe there was luck, but Wei Yan himself had little regard for fighter planes.
Sensitivity also played a very important role in it. Seeing what Wei Yan said, Du Hu thought about it and it seemed to make some sense...
"I'm going to the banquet. It's up to you to keep an eye on the camp," Wei Yan said boldly, but he didn't necessarily seem to be too relaxed. He still didn't relax at all.
Let people go forty miles, and they will be rewarded every two hours. If there is an emergency, blow the drums and blow the trumpets, and someone will know!"
Du Hu glanced at Wei Yan and smiled, "I thought..."
"Why?" Wei Yan put his feet up on the table, then took a dagger and inserted it into his boots, twisted it twice, then raised the sword and said, "I don't know if Commander Xu took Langzhong...
…If Langzhong has not yet fallen, it will still be a hidden danger, and we still need to take more precautions..."
"Then general you..."
"I'm fine. As long as Zhao Wei doesn't lose his mind, he won't attack me." Wei Yan scratched his head. Although he was very confident in what he said, not everyone can be rational about this kind of thing. What if Zhao Wei
Have you been impulsively stupid for once?
"I'm going with forty armored guards, just in case something happens..." Wei Yan pondered for a moment, then said cheerfully, "As long as Zhao Wei doesn't leave within a certain five steps, unless he wants to die together..."
Wei Yan left the camp with his guards and went to Guanghan City. Zhao Wei's nephew also sent people to wait at the city gate early. When he saw Wei Yan's flag, he immediately rushed out and personally led Wei Yan into the city.
, and then the flattery is also thrown around for free...
"General Wei is such a promising young man and his future is limitless. Please take care of him in the future..."
"General Wei is unparalleled in bravery and must be a leader in Zhengxi's command..."
"General Wei..."
Wei Yan laughed and squinted, seeming to enjoy it very much, but his eyes did not relax at all. He saw the layout of Guanghan city defense, the expressions of the soldiers, the storefronts in the city, etc., and took them all in his eyes and remembered them in his heart.
From entering the city to now, it seems that there is not much of a problem. The soldiers in Guanghan City are relatively lax and do not show a nervous or defensive posture. This is good news for Wei Yan. Of course,
If each of these soldiers is at the movie king level, or if Zhao Wei just has some arrangements within the government office, then sometimes it is a different matter.
Following Zhao Wei's nephew all the way to the center of the city, Wei Yan saw Zhao Wei up close for the first time. Zhao Wei looked about forty years old and had a strong build. He seemed to be taller than the average Sichuan and Shu people.
Most of his head is just a little shorter than Wei Yan. When he saw Wei Yan, he laughed loudly and spoke in a loud voice, giving people a very heroic feeling. However, his eyes were always a little wandering, so in fact Zhao Wei's
Inner character may not be what it appears on the outside.
Of course, this may also be due to some preconceived notions in Wei Yan's mind.
"I've seen General Zhao..." Wei Yan took two steps forward, closed the distance between him and Zhao Wei, and saluted with his hands raised. No matter what, at least we are all allies now, and may be ministers of the same dynasty in the future. This is what we deserve.
Etiquette is still required.
Zhao Wei laughed, held up his hands, and said loudly: "We should have hosted a banquet for General Wei a long time ago, but the worldly affairs are really heavy... I have some free time today, so I can apologize to General Wei!"
Wei Yan also laughed twice, but his heart moved slightly. This Zhao Wei didn't even mention a word about General Zhengxi. What does it mean?
Zhang Song arrived in Guanghan some time ago, and then said that he was going to have peace talks with General Zhengxi, and he stopped the troops. At that time, Zhao Wei's attitude was a bit ambiguous. Is there any new change now? Although Wei Yan had already had some psychology
Although the preparations were made, after hearing what Zhao Wei said, some doubts and speculations still arose. However, judging from the current situation, Zhao Wei may not necessarily want to fight against General Zhengxi. After all, the Zhao Wei family has
In Brazil County, if there is a real fight between generals, the same old saying goes, unless Zhao Wei is willing to die together...
Wei Yan smiled and said: "General Zhao has been in Sichuan and Sichuan for a long time, and he is a veteran general who has fought for many years. Wei is just a local general. It is an honor to be invited by General Zhao. How can he be so blameless...
General Zhao said this, doesn’t it mean he’s trying to discredit me?”
Zhao Wei's smile froze slightly, and then he invited Wei Yan in calmly.
Entering the lobby, Wei Yan couldn't help but pause in his steps.
Zhao Wei smiled slightly and extended his hand to invite you, "General Wei, is there something wrong?"
Wei Yan took a look inside the lobby.
Zhao Wei seemed to have just come to his senses and said with a smile: "Ah ha, I forgot to introduce... Come here, so that General Wei can know that this is Wu Yi and Wu Ziyuan, the disciple of Lang Lang in Wu Zhong..."
Wu Yi?
Wei Yan's brows wrinkled slightly.
In the Han Dynasty, Congzi basically represented the status of adopted godson, or nephew within the family. If there was no heir, then Congzi could also inherit the family name, etc. Wu Yi was such a person
Situation. Wu Yi's uncle, Wu Kuang, now has no children, so the next generation successor of the Wu family is Wu Yi.
Wu Kuang, this person can also be regarded as a high official in the imperial court during the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. He was a direct subordinate of the general He Jin. During the chaos when Yuan Shao and Cao Cao killed the eunuchs, Wu Kuang not only killed many eunuchs, but also
He Miao, the general's brother, was also killed together. He was also a person with some reputation in the turmoil at that time...
Although He Miao probably played a less honorable role in He Jin's death, for Wu Kuang, it was actually a bit of a subjugation. Therefore, Wu Kuang did not gain much benefit from the subsequent spoils-sharing meeting. Later,
Due to the chaos in Guanzhong, a large group of Wu Kuang's family took refuge in Sichuan and Shu, and established a relationship with Liu Yan, the leader of Sichuan and Shu at that time, and even married Wu Yi's sister to Liu Yan's son Liu Mao.
Well, that's right, it was Liu Hao who died early.
Therefore, from this perspective, Wu Yi can be regarded as half of Liu Zhang's relative...
Wu Yi sat on the table, stood up arrogantly, and cupped his hands. He had met Wei Yan. To most people, Wei Yan was just an upstart who had risen up in the army. He had no family background and even a
It's not even considered a poor family. A family of officials like the Wu family naturally has reasons to be proud.
Wei Yan chuckled and ignored Wu Yi's attitude. Instead, he glanced at the seat, turned to Zhao Wei and said, "General Zhao, isn't this a mistake in the arrangement?"
Zhao Wei put on an innocent face and said, "What's wrong? What's the problem?"
In the lobby, there are three seats, one at the top and one on the left and right, in the shape of a Chinese character. Zhao Wei is the master, and he sits in the chair. There is no problem with this, but there are differences on the left and right.
The Han people stood on the right side, always had words to say, but did not speak to the right. They stood on the left side of the road, one expressed praise, and the other expressed humility. After the Tang Dynasty, they were influenced by the Hu people due to the Five Hus chaos in China, and became the following
The tradition of respecting the left continued until the Song Dynasty. In the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongolian barbarians had to subvert their previous habits and changed to respecting the right. After Zhu Yuanzhang defeated the Yuan Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty, he changed it again to respecting the left.
…
So here, Wu Yi sat on the right seat, and Zhao Wei naturally wanted to sit on the main seat. So the vacant seat for Wei Yan clearly meant that he was placed under Wu Yi. Perhaps for Wei Yan personally, in general
Under the circumstances, it doesn't matter where you sit, but for the current situation, where you sit has different meanings.
If Wei Yan does not argue at this moment, or sits down in confusion, it will be equivalent to acknowledging Zhao Wei's position as the master of Sichuan and Shu, and admitting that Wu Yi and other Sichuan and Shu nobles are superior to Wei Yan, an outsider. This may not change anything substantially.
The situation on the battlefield can affect the attitude of the Sichuan and Shu nobles, and it can even be regarded as a test.
Wei Yan raised his eyebrows, and although he said with a smile, his words were not polite: "General Zhao, this time you abandoned the dark and turned to the light, found your way back, and returned to the banner of General Zhengxi of the Han Dynasty, it is a great good thing... In this way, between you and me,
I am a minister in the same palace. General Zhao is older and lives in Guanghan, so it is appropriate for him to sit at the head of the table... Is it just the left and right seats... Haha, it is better to ask this person to change his seat, so as not to hurt the harmony..."
Wu Yi suddenly went crazy. He jumped up and shouted angrily: "That's nonsense! You are just a warrior, but you dare to put someone in the inferior position! How brave! Could it be that everyone under Zhengxi is arrogant and rude?
yeah?"
Wei Yan sneered: "General Zhengxi of the Han Dynasty is personally appointed by His Majesty! Support the emperor's sword! Uphold integrity! You can kill deceitful ministers and conspirators! You actually spoke rudely to General Zhengxi. Could it be that you want to rebel!"
"You're rude!" Wu Yi was furious, grabbed the long sword on the table, drew the blade out of its sheath, and pointed it at Wei Yan, "How dare you speak evil words and slander Yu! It's not good to bully someone?!
"
Zhao Wei hurriedly moved his hands, but he was firmly nailed to the ground. He had no intention of getting involved in the fight between Wei Yan and Wu Yi, "Oh, no, it can't be like this, it can't be like this... If you have something to say, just say it...
…”
Seeing Zhao Wei acting like this, Wei Yan suddenly felt enlightened.
I see……
Wei Yan shouted to Wu Yi in a deep voice: "Put away your weapons! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
Wu Yi ignored Zhao Wei's helpless attempts to persuade him, raised his long sword, pointed it at Wei Yan, left the table, and slowly walked towards Wei Yan. As he walked, he shouted loudly: "I am an official in the court."
At that time, you and I didn’t know where we were! What a shame for the people of Sichuan and Shu, who were massacred by fire! Let me see what kind of murderous people were under the expedition to the west!"
Wei Yan glanced at Zhao Wei and saw that Zhao Wei was still standing in the distance, and the guards and servants in the hall were all standing like stupid geese, as if they had not seen everything in front of them.
Wei Yan's mind was spinning rapidly, and in a moment, Wu Yi had already taken two steps in front of him. Wei Yan narrowed his eyes, not looking at the tip of Wu Yi's long sword, but staring at Wu Yi's shoulder holding the sword.
, his feet were motionless, standing in the same place. It was not that Wei Yan was frightened, but that Wei Yan did not believe that Wu Yi dared to kill him with such a knife. It was nothing more than a bluff to give him a blow. When he reached a certain distance, he would definitely kill him.
stop.
Moreover, Wei Yan is also very confident in his own skills. He is sure that if Wu Yi really wants to stab, he will make a forceful movement, so he only needs to see when Wu Yi pulls his shoulder back with force, and there is no need to dodge the counterattack.
Late.
As expected, Wu Yi was just pretending. When he arrived in front of Wei Yan and saw that Wei Yan made no move, Wu Yi thought that Wei Yan was timid, so he stopped walking. When he was about to start scolding Wei Yan, he kept lowering his hands without making any move.
Wei Yan suddenly took action!
Wei Yan suddenly kicked, twisted his body, and let the edge of Wu Yi's long sword go. Then he moved his hands upward and put Wu Yi's long sword in his palms. Then he suddenly exerted force and twisted. The large rotation and pull immediately made Wu
Yi was caught off guard and couldn't hold the sword with one hand. He loosened his fingers and the sword fell out of his hand!
Wei Yan unexpectedly took advantage of the momentum and ran forward, bumping into Wu Yi's arms. His shoulder hit Wu Yi's chest, causing Wu Yi to become unstable. He stumbled backwards and fell onto a plate full of beans.
On top of the table top with the tableware and tableware, there was a sudden click and one side of the table collapsed!
The snack syrup was splashing everywhere, and Wu Yi rolled down into it. His crown was tilted, his robe was also tilted, and he was in a miserable state.
Wei Yan threw the long sword back with his hand, and stabbed it into the neck of Wu Yi who was lying on the ground with a loud sound. Wu Yi's face turned pale with fright, and the hairs on his neck stood up...
"I'm going to say it for the last time!" Wei Yan faced Wu Yi, but glanced at Zhao Wei from the corner of his eyes, "Don't use this method! How dare you show your embarrassment in front of others with just a few tricks!"
