Wang Can sent two armies to leave Jicheng, and all his generals were sent out.
However, Guo Jia and Fazheng stayed.
When Wang Can had nothing to do, he suddenly thought of Ma Chao and Ma Xiu.
After these two people surrendered to Han Sui, they once led soldiers to attack Wang Can, but after the Ma brothers killed Han Sui, they disappeared without a trace and were never seen again. It was really strange.
The grudge between Wang Can and Ma Chao can be traced back to when Wang Can imprisoned Ma Chao.
Up to now, it has been a life-and-death situation.
Wang Can does not have a kind heart, and he will not learn from Cao Cao and spare Guan Yu's life in order to conquer Guan Yu. He has the intention of killing Ma Chao.
The generals under Wang Can killed Ma Teng, Ma Tie and Ma Dai, and had a life-or-death relationship with Ma Chao.
Wang Can was thinking about Ma Chao's disappearance out of thin air, and felt that Ma Chao might stay in Xiliang or leave Xiliang. Therefore, Wang Can ordered the soldiers to set up checkpoints in Xiliang, put up notices to arrest Ma Chao, and at the same time sent a message to Chang'an.
Huang Zhong and Gao Shun asked them to send troops to set up checkpoints to stop Ma Chao and Ma Xiu, and strive to capture Ma Chao.
…
Liangzhou, Weiwu County.
After the soldiers sent by Wang Can arrived in Weiwei, they met with Wei Duan.
In the county hall, Wei Duan wore a Jinxian crown and a black robe, sitting on the main seat.
Wei Duan is about forty years old. He has a handsome face, clear and bright eyes, and a faint smile on his rosy cheeks, which seems to give people a feeling of spring breeze.
It has to be said that most of the children trained by aristocratic families are first-rate talents.
Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were born in the Yuan family, and they were both very talented in appearance; Xun You and Xun Yu were born in the Xun family in Yingchuan, and they were also handsome and dignified, making them the most handsome men in the world; Zhuge Liang's Zhuge family was also from the Langya family, and they were very talented in appearance.
; Zhou Yu was born in the Zhou family and had a great background. He was the daughter of a famous family and was known as Mei Zhoulang, which shows how beautiful he was.
From this point alone, we can see the gap between aristocratic families and poor families, which is also a characteristic of this era.
After the soldiers met with Wei Duan, they directly explained their purpose of coming.
When Wei Duan heard this, his mind became confused.
Although Wei Duan was panicking, he did not show any expression on his face and said in a calm tone: "Young general, go to the side hall to rest for a while. I will think about it carefully before I make a reply."
The messenger was obviously a soldier, but Wei Duan called him "little general."
Such a title made the soldiers feel good.
However, the soldier still kept Fazheng's instructions in mind and replied loudly: "Master Wei, the King of Shu has given the villain clear instructions and only gives you half a day to think about it. If the time exceeds half a day, the villain will return to Jicheng immediately, thinking that
You don’t want to pay homage to the King of Shu. Time is a little tight, so please take your time, Lord Wei, and think about it.”
After saying this, the soldier followed the servants in the house and left.
Wei Duan was sitting on the main seat with a gloomy expression. After a long time, Wei Duan breathed a long sigh of relief and loudly ordered: "Come here, please invite the eldest son and the second son to come to the hall to discuss matters."
The attendant standing outside the hall heard Wei Duan's order and immediately went to convey Wei Duan's order.
The eldest son is Wei Kang, the eldest son of Wei Duan.
The second son is Wei Dan, the second son of Wei Duan.
Wei Kang is talented, humble, courteous, and very capable. He has begun to assist Wei Duan in handling Liangzhou affairs and has a high prestige in Weiwu. Wei Dan is also very smart, but Wei Dan and Wei Duan are similar, and they like
He studies knowledge and has a strong interest in literature, but he ignores political affairs.
Because of this, the relationship between the Webster brothers is very harmonious.
As long as rights are not involved, brothers are still brothers, but if rights are mixed in, things will change.
Not long after, Wei Kang and Wei Dan hurried to the hall. After they sat down, Wei Kang said, "Father, you brought me and my second brother here. What's the matter?"
Wei Duan looked solemn and said: "Wang Can sent soldiers to inform my father to go to Jicheng to pay him a visit."
When Wei Dan heard this, his eyebrows rose and he hurriedly asked: "Father, are you the King of Shu?"
Wei Duan nodded but said nothing.
When Wei Dan saw Wei Duan nodding in the affirmative, he suddenly jumped up from his seat, with a look of joy on his face. After a while, Wei Dan realized that both Wei Kang and Wei Duan were staring at him, and Wei Duan had a gloomy face, showing no sign of joy.
Happy expression. Wei Dan smiled, with an embarrassed expression on his face, and hurriedly sat down.
Wei Duan shouted: "Wan'er, what do you mean you are so excited?"
Wei Dan did not have any scruples and said excitedly: "My son heard that the King of Shu built a college in Chengdu. Cai Yong, Pang Degong and Sima Hui taught there, and the great scholar Ren An was also in Chengdu. It was really an enviable gathering of great sages. The King of Shu
Asking his father to pay a visit is obviously because he wants his father to surrender to the King of Shu. As long as his father agrees, his son can go to Chengdu to study, and then he can become a disciple of Cai Yong, or he can become a disciple of Pang Degong and Sima Hui. Oh, this is terrible.
What a great opportunity!”
Wei Dan became more and more enthusiastic as he talked and couldn't help but rub his hands.
After Wei Dan heard this, his expression became even more gloomy.
Although he was a little moved, Liangzhou was the foundation of the Wei family, how could he give it up to others. Seeing Wei Dan's excited expression, Wei Kang helplessly shook his head. His second brother had been eager to learn since he was a child, and he was a nerd.
I have devoted myself to studying knowledge, and now I have a great opportunity to go to Chengdu, but I don’t know what my last name is?
Wei Kang raised his head, looked at Wei Duan, and asked, "Dad, where are the envoys sent by the King of Shu?"
Wei Duan replied: "My father asked him to rest in the side hall. The soldier has already made it clear that he will only be given half a day to think about it before he prepares to return to Jicheng."
Wei Dan interrupted: "Dad, if you have anything else to consider, just surrender."
"Shut up!"
Wei Duan shouted loudly and glared at Wei Dan fiercely.
Wei Dan lowered his head and murmured to himself: "Don't you yourself often praise Chengdu as a holy place for the study of learning because of its gathering of great scholars? Now you come to scold others."
She looked like a young lady who had been wronged.
Wei Duan sighed and put his hand on his forehead with a helpless expression on his face. If it weren't for the fact that his second son looked so much like him, Wei Duan would have wanted to drag him out and kill him.
Family property and knowledge, this guy actually abandoned his family property directly.
Wei Kang said: "Dad, I'm afraid you have to go. It's impossible not to go."
Wei Duan immediately asked: "Why?"
Wei Kang replied: "My son has received the news. The King of Shu has sent two armies and is sweeping Xiliang. It is estimated that it will not take long for the two armies to arrive in Weiwu and march to the city. Han Sui and Ma Teng are still defeated by Shu."
King, our troops are weaker and we are even less able to resist the army."
Wei Duan frowned and said, "Do you really have to go?"
Wei Kang nodded and said: "I have to go!"
Wei Duan sighed, with a regretful expression on his face.
Wei Dan was overjoyed when he heard the conversation between his brother and his father. He was also an extremely smart person and could guess Wang Can's purpose in asking Wei Duan to go to Jicheng. He could also guess that Wei Duan's visit to Jicheng was the Hongmen Banquet. If he surrendered to Wang Can,
Everything is easy to say; if you don't submit, the consequences will definitely be disastrous.
As long as he goes, he will definitely have to submit to Wang Can.
In this way, he can also go to Chengdu to study.
Wei Dan was very excited when he thought of this.
Wei Kang glanced at Wei Dan who was having fun, then looked at Wei Duan and said: "Father, actually surrendering to Wang Can is not a bad thing. In this world, if we unite for a long time, we will divide, and if we divide for a long time, we will unite. We cannot always be at the top of the pack.
The state of separatist rule. Coupled with the fact that the world has no master, it is a great opportunity for heroes to compete. The king of Shu occupied the rich land of Yizhou, and also took over the fertile fields of Guanzhong. Now he has pacified Xiliang, and he has become a hegemon. We have a dominant image.
After surrendering, he also created a glorious path for Webster."
Wei Dan shook his head and said: "Misfortune lies on the back of blessing, and blessing lies on misfortune. Although it is a disaster, it is also a great blessing!"
The guy was shaking his head and looked very excited.
Wei Duan listened to his second son's words and nodded.
Wei Duan was not a hesitant person. After he made up his mind, he immediately found the soldiers who sent the message, finalized the matter of going to pay homage to Wang Can, and prepared to leave.
Ps: The fifth update is completed, I finally had a small explosion, please give me flowers, please give me flowers, I can finally rest.
