Chapter 245

Chapter 245 Drawing the Sword

Wei Yan is in a good mood recently.

First, in the early spring, Cao Zhen trapped him in Zuli City with a hundred thousand troops, which made him very arrogant. He had a vague sense of self-pity that he made Wei Wei uneasy. Now that the Wei army has withdrawn, he has been ordered by the Prime Minister to come back and dispatch him.

The soldiers and horses are preparing to go to capture Jincheng County, and I feel that the responsibility of going abroad is not something I can't shoulder.

There is nothing more successful than this in life.

In such a good mood, even when he was urging for pre-war supplies, grain, and other supplies, he didn't mind the frequent verbal conflicts with Yang Yi, who had always been at odds with him. The scene where he drew his sword in vain and made him burst into tears, although he relieved his hatred,

However, fearing that he would be reprimanded by the Prime Minister, he changed his plan to conquer Liangzhou as his chief.

Hey, power should be put first by the country.

Whenever he argued with Yang Yi, he would always tell himself this.

Fei Yi, who temporarily appointed him as the commander of the army, did not need any persuasion, so he strode away with a trace of contempt on his lips and disdain to argue with him.

It is really rare to cultivate one's nature like this.

However, what he did not expect was that Zheng Pu, who had always respected him and whose official position and resume were lower than his, now dared to stroke his beard.

To be precise, it was Zheng Pu who was fulfilling his duty as a guard of the Central Army and without his permission, he secretly assessed his eldest son Wei Rong, who had not yet become an official but had been training in the army.

By the time he came to know about it, Zheng Pu had already finished the school entrance examination.

Moreover, he claimed that Wei Rong was brave and capable and had excellent generals, and said that he would be recommended to the prime minister for official positions.

This made him very angry.

If it were another general and his nephew was recommended by Zheng Pu as prime minister, he should be grateful and express his gratitude loudly.

But who is Wei Yanai?!

An Neng didn't know that he would be with him, so he did it in private?

Furthermore, isn’t Wei Yan’s eldest son a talented person? How can he be worried about his official career?

He has always kept his eldest son by his side and postponed his time to serve as an official. He certainly has ulterior motives. How can he allow Zheng Puyi, a less advanced person, to come here to promote and make noise?

What are the responsibilities of the Central Guard Army?

Hum~~

In front of him, besides the emperor and the prime minister, who else could make the man submit?

Feeling slighted and offended, Wei Yan glared at Zheng Pu.

He ordered his retinue to besiege the place, saying that if Zheng Pu did not swear not to raise Wei Rong to the prime minister, he would never leave.

It seemed that he was no less threatening than he was to Yang Yi in the past, but in fact he just wanted Zheng Pu to give in and show his attitude so that he could restore his neglected dignity.

In his heart, he also didn't want to have a quarrel with Zheng Pu.

First of all, due to Zheng Pu's achievements in recent years, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the most dazzling rising star of the Han Dynasty.

Now he has personally promoted his eldest son to be the prime minister. Although the method is somewhat inappropriate, it is undeniable that this is a good thing and can be classified as a show of goodwill.

The other was a letter just sent from the Prime Minister, which stated that Zheng Pu was asked to go to Guanyinsai to protect his rear.

It's not that Wei Yan was worried that after the unhappiness here, Zheng Pu would delay his supply of grain and supplies because of his private affairs.

But he knew very well that if Zheng Pu, who was known for his resourcefulness and judgment, could help him, he was absolutely sure that he would be able to recover the entire Liangzhou with only the 30,000 troops at his disposal!

This is the achievement of regaining a state!

How many states does the Han Dynasty have today?

If he can achieve such achievements, he will definitely be famous in both the government and the public, and leave his name in history, which is enough to claim that he will have no regrets in this life!

How could one's name be changed during and after death because of a trivial matter?

But what he didn't expect was that instead of surrendering, Zheng Pu would fight Wei Rongju and the prime minister to the death.

For a while, the scene was so deadlocked.

No one tried to persuade me.

The people attending the meeting were Guan Xing and Wei Rong, as well as Fei Yi, who came with Wei Yan.

Needless to say, Wei Rong had no room for him to speak as the adults in the family were around. Guan Xing, on the other hand, looked embarrassed because he was the initiator of this scene.

At first, when Zheng Pu came to evaluate low-level military attachés in his army, he did not include Wei Rong, who had not yet served as an official.

It was Guan Xing who invited Wei Rong over.

The reason is that when Guan Xing was holding on to Zuli City, Wei Rong, who could not bear the experience of his father's family, had privately asked him to take advantage of Zheng Pu's responsibilities to go elsewhere.

Neither Guan Xing nor Zheng Pu refused.

After making great achievements, it is a good story to be determined to serve the country.

Unexpectedly, Wei Rong made his own decision without Wei Yan's approval.

Therefore, there was a misunderstanding that Wei Yan felt that his dignity was ignored by Zheng Pu - no matter what, if you recommend someone who is underachieving, you have to tell his master, right?

At this point, Guan Xing could no longer persuade him.

He could never tell the reason and attributed the misunderstanding to Wei Rong, which made Wei Yan lose face even more because he had "failed to teach his son well".

Who knows if Wei Yan, embarrassed in public, would backhand Wei Rong with a knife.

But Fei Yi, who had always been able to persuade Wei Yan, didn't know why, thinking that the fault was Zheng Pu's fault, and would not persuade Wei Yan to accept the humiliation.

The temperament of this former general was never one to compromise.

Likewise, he could not persuade Zheng Pu to give in.

Not only was Zheng Pu known for his strong character, but also because Wei Yan, in anger, allowed his troops to besiege him, which was already coercion. Zheng Pu was also a lieutenant general in the army, how could he be humiliated safely?

In fact, Wei Yanfu was furious as soon as he arrived, and Zheng Pu vaguely guessed the misunderstanding.

Originally, he was deliberately trying to find a reason to smooth over the misunderstanding, which would not reveal Wei Rong's self-assertion, but also allow Wei Yan to have a step down.

However, when Wei Yan raised his sword and glared at him, he no longer wanted to do it.

He is not Yang Yi!

But I can't bear the tragic scene of tears streaming down my face.

He is not a slave in Wei Yan's family who beats and scolds at will!

As a general who earns a salary from the imperial court and fights for the country, An Neng can be bluffed with a sword!

Therefore, when Wei Yan was furious, he also had a look of relief on his face, and said in a cold tone, "I have been with the army on expeditions for nearly ten years. I have been in danger several times and relied on the protection of the big man, but I have all returned with my body intact. Now the general draws his sword, could it be?

Do you want to rebel against Wei and attack me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Yan's expression paused.

Drawing the sword in your hand is a matter of temperament, not because you want to see blood.

Although he has an unruly temperament, he can clearly distinguish between right and wrong. Therefore, when he was cross-examined by Zheng Pu, he was suddenly speechless.

After a moment of silence, his angry expression did not change, nor did he sheath the sword. He sneered and said, "Hey! I'll allow you to conquer your son without asking about your father, but you won't be allowed to draw my sword and show it to others!"

"If the general does not draw his sword, this matter is my fault. I will accuse him and explain the reason."

Hearing this, Zheng Pu's face softened slightly and he said slowly, "But since the general has drawn his sword, I am not at fault for this matter, and there is no way to defend it."

Well.

This time, Wei Yan was speechless.

After hearing this, Fei Yi knew that there was room for change.

He relied on his familiarity to push back Wei Yan's sword, and when he pulled Guan Xing and Wei Rong away, he waved his hands to dismiss the followers, leaving this place to Wei and Zheng.

When those followers left, they asked Wei Yan with their eyes.

But Wei Yan didn't squint his eyes and just let it happen.
