With Gan Ning defecting to Wang Kai, the talents under Wang Kai have finally grown.

Now Wang Kaiwu has Li Jing, Xue Li, Wei Chigong, Qin Qiong, Luo Cheng, Pei Xingyan, Ma Chao, Pang De, Ma Dai, Ma Teng, Han Sui, Cheng Yin, Xu Rong, Gan Ning and other generals; The text includes Fang Qiao, Du Ruhui, Cheng Gongying, Li Ru and some poor scholars.

Just when Wang Kai was secretly happy, the envoys sent by Cao Cao, Zhong Xuan and Mao Jue, finally arrived in Chang'an City.

When the guards of the city gate of Chang'an City saw Zhong Xuan and Mao Jue appearing with their guards, a captain immediately stepped forward and asked, "Who is coming?" ”

Seeing that the captain of the city gate asked, Zhong Xuan came out and replied: "I am Zhong Xuan, the envoy of the Son of Heaven." ”

After hearing this, where did the captain of the city gate dare to stop him, he immediately ordered to let him go.

As Mao Jue and Zhong Xuan entered Chang'an City, Mao Jue immediately said to Zhong Xuan: "Lord Zhong, are we going to announce the decree to Wang Zhenxi now?" ”

"Mao Gongcao, we are new to the city, so don't be in a hurry, let's go to the post house first!"

"Alright then!"

Afterwards, the two entered the post house in Chang'an.

When they went to the post house, the two also found that Chang'an City was being repaired.

Seeing this situation, Zhong Xuan sighed: "Wang Zhenxi is really a loyal person, but I didn't expect him to start repairing it after he took Guanzhong." ”

When he heard Zhong Xuan's exclamation, Mao Jue suddenly thought: "It is not unreasonable for the lord to be superior, Wang Kai must have great ambitions to restore Chang'an." ’

After the two arrived at the post house, Zhong Miao immediately sent a messenger to inform Wang Kai that he had gone.

When Wang Kai learned that Cao Cao had sent an envoy, he was also quite surprised, but he still prepared.

The next day, Zhong Xuan and Mao Jue began to rush towards the imperial palace in Chang'an.

At this time, Wang Kai was already ready to drive.

After Wang Kai saw Zhong Xuan and Mao Jue outside the palace, he immediately led his ministers to salute.

After Zhong Xuan replied with a waiver for the Son of Heaven, he immediately said to Wang Kai: "Congratulations to Wang Zhenxi!" Congratulations to King Zhenxi! ”

Suddenly hearing Zhong Xuan say this, Wang Kai replied very puzzledly: "Lord Zhong, what do I like about?" ”

"The Son of Heaven inquired about Wang Zhenxi and recovered Guanzhong, so I hereby sent me to add an official to Wang Zhenxi."

Hearing this, Wang Kai finally understood.

Immediately, Wang Kai said with a smile: "In this case, then invite the two envoys to enter the palace to announce the decree!" ”

After hearing this, Zhong Xuan and Mao Jue immediately led the way, while Wang Kai followed with his subordinates.

After everyone entered the palace, Zhong Xuan and Mao Jue walked up the steps and looked back at Wang Kai and the others.

Immediately after, Zhong Xuan opened the decree and read it: "Zhenxi General Liangzhou Shepherd Wang Kai received the decree." ”

When Wang Kai heard this, he immediately knelt down, and the ministers under his command also knelt down.

At this time, Zhong Xuan continued to read out: "Zhenxi General Liangzhou Shepherd King Kai Xianke Liangzhou exterminated the leader of the Qiang Rebellion, and now he has exterminated Dong Zhuo's remnants and recovered Sanfu, I am very relieved to hear the news, Wang Aiqing is really worthy of being the senior disciple of General Huangfu, and I hope that Wang Aiqing will continue to serve the Han Dynasty, so I specially named Wang Aiqing as the Marquis." ”

Hearing that he had been made a marquis, Wang Kai was slightly surprised and then replied: "The ministers are grateful!" ”

Immediately, Zhong Xuan handed over the holy decree to Wang Kai's hands.

After receiving the holy decree, Wang Kai got up and stood up, and the ministers under his command also got up.

At this time, Zhong Xuan said to Wang Kai: "Your Majesty has high hopes for Wang Zhenxi, and I hope that Wang Zhenxi will not live up to the grace of God!" ”

"Ministers should be remembered!"

Immediately, Zhong Xuan left with Mao Jue.

After the envoy left, Fang Qiao immediately stepped forward to congratulate Wang Kai.

Immediately afterwards, the rest of the ministers in Chang'an also stepped forward to congratulate, after all, it is rare to be crowned a marquis at such a young age, except for the champion Hou Huo Quai, although Wang Kai's age is much older than Huo Quai, but he also belongs to the ranks of young people.

Wang Kai also smiled from ear to ear when he heard the congratulations of the ministers.

At this time, Mao Jue left Zhong Xuan's side under the pretext of because he still came with Cao Cao's mission.

Soon, Mao Jue went back and asked to see Wang Kai.

When Wang Kai learned that the deputy envoy Mao Jue had turned back again, he was very puzzled and said, "Why did Mao Jue come back again?" ”

At this time, Fang Qiao said: "Lord, since Deputy Envoy Mao asks to see him, why don't you see the previous side?" ”

Wang Kai thought about it and finally passed Mao Jue.

After Mao Jue returned to the palace hall to see Wang Kai and his ministers, he immediately saluted and said, "Mao Jue pays a visit to the Marquis." ”

"Deputy Envoy Mao, haven't you already passed the decree? What are you looking for from me? ”

"Marquis Tin is not the envoy of the Son of Heaven but the envoy of General Cao."

"General Cao?"

"Exactly!"

"Deputy Envoy Mao, is there any difference between General Cao's envoy and the envoy of the Son of Heaven?"

Seeing Wang Kai ask this, Mao Jue suddenly didn't know how to take it, because Cao Cao's envoys were nominally lower than those of the Son of Heaven, but Wang Kai said this to imply that Cao Cao was bullying the king.

After Mao Jue sorted out his words, he immediately replied: "This is wrong! The envoys of the Son of Heaven are obviously greater than those of General Cao, and I am now here as an envoy of General Cao. ”

"Okay, so what are you looking for from me?"

When Mao Jue heard this, he immediately glanced at Wang Kai's ministers.

When Wang Kai saw this, he immediately said, "Everyone stand down!" ”

Hearing Wang Kai say this, Fang Qiao took the lead and left.

After only Wang Kai and Mao Jue were left in the palace hall, Wang Kai continued: "Now you can talk about it! ”

"Marquis, this time you are the marquis because of my lord's recommendation, and my lord hopes that the marquis can do a good job in the affairs of the Zhenxi general Liangzhou pastoral."

When he heard this, Wang Kai thought about it: "Cao Cao is testing me, do a good job in the Liangzhou pasture of the general of Zhenxi, just don't send troops again." ’

After thinking clearly about Cao Cao's deep meaning, Wang Kai immediately replied: "This is natural, since I am the general of Zhenxi, Liangzhou Mu, I have the responsibility to do my part." ”

Seeing Wang Kai say this, Mao Jue thought that Wang Kai had understood, so he immediately replied: "That's very good!" Then please keep this matter in mind, and I will retire first! ”

After Mao Jue left, Wang Kai suddenly said: "Cao Mengde is really calculating!" I want to use a small tin to bring our army to a standstill. ”

When he said this, Wang Kai remembered that Guanzhong had not yet recovered, and even if he wanted to move troops, he needed to weigh it.

In the end, Wang Kai said helplessly: "Our army is not strong enough to act rashly, and Guanzhong has not yet recovered, so I will sell Cao Mengde a face, and just use this time of recuperation and recuperation to step up the arrangement of Jinyi Guard to find out the news of the princes from all walks of life, and the so-called informant can win the world." ”

Besides, after Mao Jue returned to the post house, Zhong Xuan suddenly said to him: "Mao Gongcao, why are you only coming back now?" ”

"Lord Zhong, I had unbearable abdominal pain before, so I went to make it convenient, and I waited for the hour to look at Lord Zhong Haihan."

"It's okay, now that the mission has been completed, let's go back after a walk in Chang'an City!"

After a promise, Mao Jue accompanied Zhong Xuan to visit Chang'an City.
