The Nameless of the Common Clans

Yique Pass, as the war between Chen and Cao intensified, although Yuzhou was not the main battlefield, the war between Cao Ren and Zhang Liao also made the main checkpoints in this area tense.

Of course, this does not include Yique Pass. It is not that Yique Pass is not important. On the contrary, if Yique Pass is broken, the defense around Luoyang will have a huge loophole, but for Yang Wei who has decided to turn against his side, this is exactly what he wants.

As for why Yang Wei sentenced Chen Mo, as a former Xiliang surrendered general, he faced the ceiling of his military career like Yang Ding. The difference is that from the beginning, after Yang Wei surrendered as a surrendered soldier, he was not suppressed, but he was not appreciated. He was worse than Yang Ding.

Among the generals of Xiliang, Hua Xiong and Xu Rong were the ones who could be reused by Chen Mo. These two were already independent generals. Yang Wei, in terms of ability, obviously could not compare with them, and in terms of prestige, he was obviously not qualified, so he could only watch others being promoted, while he was getting further and further away from Chen Mo's core group. It was obvious that promotion here was not based on qualifications. Although Chen Mo's employment system had discovered a large number of outstanding talents for him, it also made many mediocre but ambitious people resentful.

Yang Ding and Yang Wei were such people. Facing a career that could almost be seen at a glance, Yang Wei had already lost hope. Cao Cao had contacted him secretly, but Yang Wei did not accept it. He knew very well that before the victory of Chen and Cao, even if he secretly surrendered to Cao Cao, except for some rewards, he would probably not be reused, and it would even be worse than Chen Mo.

Moreover, in Yang Wei's opinion, Chen Mo's chances of winning this battle were higher than Cao Cao's. In this case, why should he take this dead end? Even if Cao Cao wins, it would be better for him to surrender at that time than to betray Chen Mo now. The benefits are similar, but the other risk is too great. If Chen Mo wins, he will be doomed.

But it will be different if Zhao Shen and others come to him.

He knows that there are struggles within the court, but he has never taken it to heart. This is too far away from him, and with the strength of these people, how can they fight Chen Mo?

But this time is different. As a person in the military system, Yang Wei knows very well that the current military situation in the Heluo area, Chen Mo took away most of the troops, and now Heluo is really weak. What's more important is that this time, for some reason, he was asked to guard Yique.

If this place is placed in normal times, it is not important. Even if Cao Jun breaks through Yique Pass, they have no ability to break in when facing the guards of Luoyang, but now, it is very likely to be the key to the victory of the Chen-Cao War.

If he can play an important role in this, then not only can he get the benefits given by Zhao Shen, but also the benefits from Cao Cao, he can also eat them together.

That's right. From the beginning, Yang Wei was ready to sell Yique Pass twice, first to Zhao Shen, and then to Cao Cao. Although the two families had the same purpose, Yang Wei could get two benefits. In this way, even if he took away his military power in the end, he could still get a position of the Nine Ministers. In the future, they would be descendants of ministers, and their family background would be different immediately.

Moreover, Yang Wei estimated that even if Cao Cao finally captured Luoyang, Zhao Shen and his group would probably have a dispute with Cao Cao. At that time, he might be able to get a chance. Such a deal would be worth it.

Yang Wei had no psychological burden for betraying Chen Mo. Unlike Yang Ding, he surrendered at the beginning. Chen Mo did not value him, nor did he treat him like Yang Ding. Naturally, there was no need to feel shame and confusion because of the so-called betrayal. He did not feel how powerful Chen Mo was.

"General!" The deputy general came to the door and saluted Yang Wei.

"What's the matter?" Yang Wei said with a smile. This deputy general was his fellow countryman, and therefore Yang Wei took good care of him. He was considered a confidant.

"There is a troop of soldiers coming from outside the pass, claiming to be soldiers from Nanyang, and ordered to be transferred to Luoyang. Should we let them pass?" The deputy general bowed.

"Nanyang soldiers?" Yang Wei was a little surprised: "How many people are there?"

"About two thousand." The deputy general bowed.

"Let's go and take a look." Yang Wei stood up and said, two thousand is not a small number, the guards of Yique Pass added up to only three thousand. Although he had secretly let a lot of Cao's troops in before, if the soldiers from Nanyang entered Luoyang, whether it would cause the situation that was already clear to change, it was unknown.

At that moment, Yang Wei brought his deputy general to the top of the city and looked down. He saw a group of soldiers standing outside the city. The leading general looked a little unfamiliar and not very old. However, in Nanyang, apart from Zhang Liao, no powerful figures had been heard of since Lu Bu left. Yang Wei immediately asked, "Who are you?"

The general in front of the army rode his horse to the city and clasped his fists and said, "I am Wei Yan, the lieutenant of the rebellion under the command of General Zhennan. I am honored to meet this general."

"Since you are under the command of General Zhang and are not stationed in Nanyang, why are you here?" Yang Wei looked at the soldiers and silently calculated whether he could swallow them. After all, if Cao Cao succeeded, he would have more soldiers and horses in his hands, and he could also gain more benefits for himself.

"I came here in accordance with the imperial edict of Luoyang." Wei Yan said loudly.

"Where is the imperial edict?" Yang Wei frowned. Why would Luoyang mobilize soldiers from Nanyang? And why didn't he notify himself in advance?

"Yes!" Wei Yan nodded, rolled a decree on the arrow shaft, and shot an arrow towards the top of the city.

The arrow was not fast, nor was it powerful, and it was shot behind Yang Wei. Yang Wei grabbed it, glanced at Wei Yan, and opened the decree.

It was indeed the Luoyang edict, but it did not come from the palace, but from the General's Mansion, and was signed by Li Ru.

Since he was not transferred back by the imperial court, he can be harvested.

As for Wei Yan? The unknown descendant, if he is willing to surrender, then that's it. If he is not willing, kill him. After the matter is completed, no one will pursue this kind of thing with him.

He nodded and said, "Wait a moment."

"General, do you really want to let him in?" the deputy general came to Yang Wei and asked in a low voice.

As Yang Wei's fellow villager and confidant, he knew about Yang Wei's affairs.

"Let him in, and we'll wait for an opportunity to seize his military power later!" Yang Wei nodded calmly, and ordered as he walked: "I might take action later, you go and gather some troops over here, watch my face and act, if I take action, kill first Then Wei Yan!”

"Here!" The deputy general understood, immediately agreed, and left first.

Yang Wei came down from the city gate with a few personal followers and made a gesture to welcome Wei Yan.

"The last general has seen General Yang!" Wei Yan led his troops into the city, pretended to look at the guards behind Yang Wei inadvertently, grinned, and suddenly drew his sword and put it on Yang Wei's neck before Yang Wei could say anything.

Yang Wei still kept a smile on his face, but the smile stiffened with Wei Yan's movements: "General Wei, what do you mean?"

"I came here with an order to take over Yique Pass. In order to prevent General Yang from not cooperating, I have to do this." The order Wei Yan received was indeed to take over Yique Pass, but he did not intend to take action directly. Make sure Yang Wei has objections before taking action.

However, if Yang Wei had any objections, he might not even be able to get in if he told him directly. Therefore, Wei Yan decided to reverse the process and seize the military power first, and then determine whether Yang Wei had any objections.

In fact, Wei Yan felt that the people giving orders in Luoyang should also realize that something was wrong with Yang Wei. Otherwise, if everything was fine, why would he be allowed to come and take over Yique Pass?

In short, let’s capture Yique Pass first.

"Wantless, what do you want to do!?" The deputy general hurried over with his troops. They were originally here to help Yang Wei seize military power. Who would have expected that he would see such a scene when he first arrived? Although he didn't know what happened, he saw Yang Wei being killed. Wei Yan stopped him, but he didn't care much. He immediately came with his men and wanted to surround Wei Yan, but saw the Nanyang soldiers brought by Wei Yan quickly stepped forward and blocked these people.

"I am Wei Yan, and I have been ordered to take charge of Yique Pass!" Wei Yan ignored the deputy general. He saw that he was Yang Wei's man, so he didn't need to waste energy on this person. He directly took out the token that Zhang Liao gave him before leaving. All the soldiers looked at it and said coldly: "Yang Wei has secretly collaborated with Cao's thieves, and now he has been captured. Are you going to rebel too!?"

No matter what, put your hat on the other person first, so that you can control your rights more easily.

Upon hearing this, all the Yiqueguan officers and men immediately froze, their momentum also weakened a bit, and many of them put away their weapons.

This is also the benefit of Chen Mo's military system. When the families of soldiers are gathered together, they receive generous treatment and are also a disguised threat. Therefore, even if the general wants to rebel, the soldiers generally will not rebel. Yang Wei has never dared to surrender to the enemy. He announced it because he knew that if he said it, most of the soldiers would not be willing to work with him.

At this time, Wei Yan took out the token and directly blamed Yang Wei for collaborating with the enemy. Naturally, most of the Yiqueguan soldiers instinctively began to draw a clear line between them and Yang Wei.

"Don't listen to his nonsense!" Yang Wei said angrily.

"General Yang doesn't even know this tiger order, right?" Wei Yan waved the token in front of him, then pointed at Yang Wei's lieutenant and said: "Tie up Yang Wei and that one. ! Seal Yique Pass, no one can enter or leave from now on!"

Nanyang soldiers came forward to tie up Yang Wei, and someone went to arrest the deputy general. The deputy general was naturally unwilling, but the surrounding guards were confused for a while and did not dare to help. After the deputy general struggled for a while, Wei Yan came up Kicked him down, he looked at the soldiers around him and said, "What's the matter? Doesn't my general's words work?"

"Here!" After hesitating for a moment, a military prince agreed and ordered people to go and notify the generals at all levels to see Wei Yan. As for Yang Wei and his deputy generals, they were temporarily detained. Before they could fully control the defense of Yique Pass, Wei Yan I don't have the heart to interrogate anything, I'll wait until the business is done.

Although he was much younger than Ma Chao, Wei Yan was really good at running the army. He quickly sorted out the entire Yique Pass and completely took the military power of Yique Pass into his hands.
