In early August, the weather in the Northland has gradually become cooler.
There are more and more pedestrians walking on the street.
However, there was silence at the city gate.
I saw a group of soldiers wearing armor, with swords hanging on their waists, and full of murderous intent standing at the city gate, as if they were motionless sculptures that had not aged well. When these ferocious soldiers stood at the city gate, the surrounding people could only stay away.
Watching from a distance. Not only that, the people entering and leaving the city gate were stopped.
The common people opened their eyes wide and looked at the people standing at the city gate in awe, with curious expressions on their faces.
This person is none other than Wang Can.
He stood at the gate of Jicheng to welcome Wei Duan's arrival.
After half a month, Wei Duan set off from Weiwu and finally arrived at Jicheng.
Wang Can wants to move Wei Duan to Chengdu, which is a good thing for Wang Can, but for Wei Duan, it deprives the Wei family of their right to be powerful. Moreover, the Wei family where Wei Duan belongs is still a wealthy family in Guanzhong, and Wei Duan
Duan himself was also a famous person, so Wang Can personally greeted Wei Duan at the city gate to show his respect for him.
Dian Wei stood behind Wang Can and whispered: "My lord, here we come!"
Wang Can looked into the distance and saw a group of people and horses approaching slowly.
A carriage was driving at the front, and Wei Duan was sitting in the carriage.
Wang Can saw the carriage approaching, but his expression did not change at all. Wei Duan came to pay him a visit, and it was still unclear whether Wei Duan would agree to go to Chengdu, and whether he was an enemy or a friend was not yet known. But Wang Can had to do what he should do
The gesture must show respect for Wei Duan, not only for Wei Duan to see, but also for the people of Liangzhou.
In the distance, carriages were driving by.
In the first carriage, Wei Duan gently lifted the door curtain, opened a hole, and looked at the road ahead.
When he saw the team at the city gate, his heart couldn't help but beat a few times faster.
Seeing the change in Wei Duan's expression, Wei Kang also came over to take a look.
As soon as I saw it, I saw elite and brave soldiers arrayed at the city gate, standing sternly. At the front, there was a man in brocade and rich clothes, about thirty years old, standing at the city gate. The rest of the people were standing behind that man.
, with a respectful and humble look on his face. Seeing this, Wei Kang immediately shouted: "Stop the car!"
Suddenly, the carriage stopped.
Wei Duan asked hurriedly: "Kang'er, why did you stop?"
Wei Dan also continued: "Brother, we still have some distance to go before we reach the gate of Jicheng City?"
Wei Kang said sternly: "Dad, if we stop the carriage before we get to the city gate, it would be against etiquette. Look at the formation at the city gate. It is obvious that the King of Shu personally greeted us. If we get off the carriage in front of the King of Shu, it will definitely appear...
If you are not respectful, you should get off the carriage earlier and walk over on foot to show your respect for the King of Shu."
Wei Duan nodded repeatedly and said, "If Kang'er hadn't reminded me, my father would have almost offended the King of Shu!"
Wei Kang shook his head and said: "The king of Shu must be a great leader, and he will not offend us. However, if we get off the carriage at the city gate, we will definitely leave a bad impression on the civil and military ministers under the king of Shu.
It is not good for the development of our Wei family, so we must get off the carriage early."
As he spoke, Wei Kang lifted the carriage door curtain and motioned for Wei Duan to go first.
Wei Duan took Wei Kang and Wei Dan out of the carriage and walked toward the city gate.
As for Wei Duan's family members, they were still in the carriage behind them, and all the carriages followed Wei Duan and moved slowly.
Wang Can saw from a distance that the carriage Wei Duan was riding in stopped, and the Wei family father and son also got off the carriage and walked on foot. He nodded secretly in his heart and felt a hint of joy.
Looking at the current situation, it shouldn't be too difficult for Wei Duan to go to Chengdu.
Not long after, Wei Duan approached Wang Can with Wei Dan and Wei Kang.
Wei Duan walked to the front of Wang Can, bent down and cupped his hands and said: "Wei Duan, the governor of Liangzhou, has met the King of Shu!"
Wang Can said with a smile: "I have admired Wei as governor for a long time, and today I meet you, and my reputation is well-deserved!" After a pause, Wang Can glanced at Wei Kang and Wei Dan behind Wei Duan, and said with a smile: "These two
Could it be that they are the two young masters of Governor Wei?" While speaking, Wang Can pointed at Wei Kang and praised: "This young master looks very talented, capable and energetic, he should be the eldest son Wei Kang!"
Wei Kang heard this and immediately bowed: "Wei Kang, a common man, has met the King of Shu!"
Wang Can smiled and nodded, pointed at Wei Dan, and said with a smile: "This handsome and suave man, who seems to have read a lot of poetry and books, must be the second young master Wei Dan."
When Wei Dan heard that Wang Can said that he was handsome and well-read, he was very happy and had a happy expression on his face.
He loves reading, and Wang Can's words really spoke to his heart.
Wei Dan looked humble and bowed sincerely: "After studying at the end of the year, Wei Dan came to see the King of Shu!"
Wei Dan's title is different from that of Wei Kang. Wei Kang calls himself a grass-roots man, which means he is a commoner. However, Wei Dan calls himself a late scholar, showing his respect for Wang Can. Although Wang Can is
The powerful King of Shu also had the identity of being a close disciple of Cai Yong, which made Wei Dan extremely envious.
Wang Can nodded slightly, then looked at Wei Duan and said, "Prefect Wei, you have given birth to two good sons. One is capable and shrewd, and the other is well-read in poetry and books, and he is the envy of others!"
After listening to this, Wei Duan also felt a little carried away.
When he just met Wang Can, he was still a little uneasy in his heart, but when he heard Wang Canla's homely words, the uneasiness in his heart was long gone.
In this world, which parent doesn’t like others to praise their children?
Especially the person who praised it was Wang Can, which made Wei Duan even more happy.
Unknowingly, the atmosphere between the two parties became a little more subtle, not as raw as when they first met.
Wei Kang stood respectfully behind Wei Duan, with a sense of awe for Wang Can in his heart, and at the same time a sense of happiness. From Wang Can's words and deeds, you can get a glimpse of Wang Can's ability. In a few simple words, Wang Can
Chan had already coaxed his father and second brother into submission, and his methods were astounding.
At this time, Wang Can was also looking at Wei Duan.
He saw the change in Wei Duan's expression and knew that things would probably fall into place and be completed easily.
Wang Can glanced at the motorcade behind him again, also thoughtfully. Before Wei Duan could speak, Wang Can reached out and took Wei Duan's wrist, and said with a smile: "Wei Duan, I have already held a banquet at the county government for Wei Duan.
Take the wind and wash away the dust.”
Wei Duan was about to express his attitude, but Wang Can pulled him away inside the city.
For a while, Wei Duan couldn't talk about serious matters.
The matter of surrendering to Wang Can should not be mentioned casually. Wei Kang and Wei Dan followed Wei Duan, and Dian Wei also walked side by side with them, looking around vigilantly, but still did not relax his vigilance.
Fazheng and Guo Jia walked together. Fazheng smiled and said, "Master Guo, what do you think of this situation?"
Guo Jiaxiao said: "The ear of things in the ear!"
After finishing speaking, Guo Jia smiled and said nothing more.
Fazheng smiled and nodded, with an expression of approval on his face.
The group of people walked toward the county government in a grand manner, and the guests and hosts took their seats in the county government hall.
Wang Can is sitting on the main seat, and the lower corner on the left is where Wei Duan is. Wei Kang and Wei Dan are sitting behind Wei Duan. On the left and right sides of the hall, there are important civil and military ministers under Wang Can. Everyone is looking at Wang Can.
There was a look of joy on their faces. They also saw the situation and knew that Wei Duan was likely to submit to Wang Can.
However, the banquet did not involve political affairs, but some romantic matters.
This kind of thing is the most topical and attracts everyone's interest.
At the banquet, Wei Dan was a very lively person. He admired celebrities and imitated their demeanor, and was much more knowledgeable about romantic affairs than Wei Kang.
With Wei Dan joining in, the atmosphere became even more lively.
In the end, it can be said that the guest and the host are enjoying themselves.
