Three Kingdoms

In the past few days, Wei Yan was so busy that he couldn't sit still. Langzhong has not yet been captured, and Zhao Wei, an old fox, is always giving him food and grass. It will be difficult to continue to move westward, so he can only wait for the time being. If he is bored, he will go hunting in the mountains.

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 so easy 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 also gave it a try, "General Wei will naturally know about it when he meets a certain general."

Wei Yan pondered for a moment and said, "Okay! Wait for me to arrange the military affairs and then come!"

Zhao Wei's nephew naturally agreed.

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 now Wei Wenchang under Zhengxi’s command!”

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 it was luck, but Wei Yan himself had no 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, beat 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 some 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 ever been impulsively stupid?

"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 rushed out immediately and personally led Wei Yan into the city. Then he also threw flattery words for free along the way...

"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 martial prowess 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 took in the defense layout of Guanghan City, 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 a big 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 looks to be in his forties and has a very strong figure. He seems to be half a head taller than the average Sichuan and Shu people, and is just a little shorter than Wei Yan. When he sees Wei Yan, he laughs loudly and speaks in a very loud voice. It is loud and clear, giving people a very heroic feeling, but his eyes are always a little wandering, so in fact Zhao Wei's inner character may not be what he 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 court in the future. This due etiquette is still required.

Zhao Wei laughed, held his hands up, 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 mention General Zhengxi at all. What does it mean?

Zhang Song arrived in Guanghan a few days ago, and then said that he was going to have peace talks with General Zhengxi, and stopped the two troops. Zhao Wei's attitude was somewhat ambiguous at that time. Is there any new change now? Although Wei Yan had been mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but have some doubts and speculations after hearing what Zhao Wei said. However, judging from the current situation, Zhao Wei may not necessarily want to fight against General Zhengxi. After all, the Zhao Wei family is in Brazil County. If they really fight against the generals, it will still be the same old saying, 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 hesitate in his steps.

Zhao Wei smiled slightly and extended his hand to invite, "General Wei, is there something wrong?"

Wei Yan glanced at the lobby.

Zhao Wei seemed to have just come to his senses and said with a smile: "Ah ha, I forgot to introduce you... Come here, so that General Wei can know that this is the son of Wu Zhonglang, Wu Yi and Wu Ziyuan..."

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 is no heir, then Congzi can also inherit the family name, etc. Wu Yi is such a person Condition. 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. At that time, he was the direct subordinate of General He Jin. During the chaos when Yuan Shao and Cao Cao killed the eunuchs, Wu Kuang not only killed many eunuchs, but also killed General He Miao's brother. It was considered a turbulent time at that time. A person with some name among them...

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 families took refuge in Sichuan and Shu. They 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 was sitting on the banquet, standing up haughtily and cupping his hands, which was regarded as meeting Wei Yan. To most people, Wei Yan was just a nouveau riche who had risen up in the military. He had no family background and was not even from a poor family. A family of officials like the Wu family naturally had 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?"

There are three seats in the lobby, one at the top and one on the left and right, in the shape of finished characters. Zhao Wei is the master and he sits in the chair. There is no problem with this, but there is a difference between the left and right.

The Han people stood on the right, always had words to say, but did not speak to the right. They stood on the left, 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. The vacant seat was given to Wei Yan, which clearly placed him under Wu Yi. Perhaps for Wei Yan personally, under normal circumstances, it doesn't matter where he sits, but for the current situation, where he sits 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 battlefield situation 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 unceremonious: "General Zhao, this time you abandoned the darkness and turned to the light. It is a great good thing that you have found your way back and returned to the banner of General Zhengxi of the Han Dynasty... In this way, between you and me, I am a minister of 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 would be better to ask this person to change seats, 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 his body was firmly nailed to the ground. He had no intention of getting involved in the fight between Wei Yan and Wu Yi, "Oh, 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. He raised his long sword and pointed it at Wei Yan. He 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 others didn’t know where they were! What a shame for the people of Sichuan and Sichuan, 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 and did not look at the tip of Wu Yi's long sword. Instead, he stared at Wu Yi's shoulder holding the sword. His feet were motionless and stood still. It's not that Wei Yan was frightened, but Wei Yan didn't 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 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 he can no longer 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 moved away from the edge of Wu Yi's long sword. Then he raised his hands 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 filled with beans. On the table top where the tableware and tableware were placed, there was a sudden click and one side of the table collapsed!

Dessert syrup splashed everywhere, and Wu Yi rolled 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!"
