And today, Liu Bei led the army to the outside of Xiangyang City, and Wei Yan knew that his opportunity had finally come. This opportunity contains two meanings, the first is that Wei Yan's opportunity to repay Liu Bei has come, after all, he thinks that he has indeed received Liu Bei's favor, and he has a short hand, and between the lines, he does mean to win over himself, and he understands it.

As for the second one, that is, I finally have a bright day. Why do you say this, it is because Liu Bei brought troops to Xiangyang, that's it. Because he can do this, it proves that what he thought was good at the beginning, Liu Bei Liu Xuande is not small, he has great ambitions, and he also wants to seize the opportunity now, and then soar into the sky.

To be honest, because of this, in Wei Yan's opinion, Liu Xuande should be the master he is looking for. At least although he joined the Jingzhou Army a few years ago, he has to say that Liu Jingsheng is not a master. Let's just say the simplest thing, after a few years of observation and feeling, he really doesn't have any intention of dominating the world. So it is indeed a "dog that guards the household".

As for Liu Xuande, although he is not as powerful as Liu Jingsheng, he has been working hard, and he is what he thinks, he has great ambitions, and he is not confused, and he has to compete with the world's heroes, isn't this exactly what he wants. And he is trying his best to win over himself, and he understands it. Liu Jingsheng and his person, I don't even know if Jingzhou Jun has his own person, but Liu Xuande and his people have written letters to themselves, and they have also given themselves a lot of gifts.

So Wei Yan had to be tempted, after all, he was not a peaceful person. And he is too unwilling to be like this now, and he is indeed a little unhappy to let a Wenpin who is not as good as him press on his head. To be honest, Wei Yanqi's character. If it's someone bigger than him, his top boss, then there's no problem. But if someone who is not as good as him takes care of him, then he will definitely not be willing, after all, he is a talent, and he is definitely a general, so ......

It's inevitable that there will be some personalities and tempers, and this will definitely not be less. So he didn't target Wen Ping, he just felt that someone was inferior to him. It was still pressed on his head, and he was very unhappy, so he wanted to get out of the current situation. Then when Liu Bei's army arrived, he knew that this was the right time for a great deal-

Not to mention what Wei Yan is thinking in his heart now. It is said that after Liu Bei decided to implement what Xu Shu said, he wrote two letters by himself. Then it was handed over to Tai Shici.

"Ziyi!"

"Mo will be!"

"Two letters will be handed to you. Do you know what to do? ”

"The last general is here, please rest assured!"

Liu Bei smiled and nodded, Tai Shici was still relieved to do things. At least in this regard, Tai Shici is definitely stronger than Wen Chou, needless to say.

And after Tai Shici took the handwritten letter from his father-in-law, he listened to his father-in-law say again. "Without further ado, Ziyi should go back quickly!"

"No!"

After speaking, Tai Shici took the letter out of the big tent and left the camp-

Tai Shi Ci came out of the camp. He rode alone, and came to the city of Xiangyang on horseback.

The archers at the head of Xiangyang City had already drawn their bowstrings at this time, "What person?" Stop coming! ”

When Tai Shici saw the posture of the Jingzhou Army, he laughed, "Hahaha!" A certain Donglai Tai Shi Ci is now here to deliver letters!! ”

Sure enough, "the name of a person, the shadow of a tree", Tai Shici is a very famous person in the world, after all, he was one of them when he fought Lu Bu in Bishui Pass, so he has a good reputation. When the Jingzhou soldiers at the head of the city heard this, although their guards were not relaxed, they were not so nervous. The main thing is that he said that he came to deliver a letter, and it is impossible for him to attack Xiangyang City alone. Don't say that you Donglai is too Shici, even if it is Wuyuan Lu Bulu Fengxian, he doesn't have that ability.

At this time, Wei Yan had also arrived at the edge of the battlement at the head of the city, he happened to see Tai Shici, and at this time he waved his hand at the archer at the head of the city, "Don't let go of the arrows, I'll ask a few words!" ”

The archers said in unison: "No! ”

After all, when Wen Ping was not in the city, Wei Yan was their main general, so the soldiers naturally didn't dare not listen-

Wei Yan arched his hand to Tai Shi Ci under the city, "Dare to ask the city below, but Tai Shi Ci who fought against Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian in Bishui Pass?" ”

Tai Shi Ci smiled, "Exactly! I don't know who you are? ”

Wei Yan said with a smile, "I have admired the name of General for a long time, and I am fortunate to see it today, I am Yiyang Wei Yan Wei Wenchang!" ”

Tai Shi Ci nodded, although he had already heard his lord and military advisor talk about Wei Yan's appearance, but after confirming it from Wei Yan's mouth, he nodded.

Similarly, he arched his hand at this time and said, "It turned out to be General Wei!" ”

Wei Yan hurriedly said: "Don't dare to be, I don't know what the general's intention is here?" ”

Although Tai Shi Ci and the soldiers had said it before, Wei Yan had to ask for confirmation in person.

Sure enough, I heard Tai Shici say again: "On the order of my lord, he came to send a letter to General Wenpin!" ”

After hearing this, Wei Yan at the head of the city nodded, for him, it was indeed impossible for Liu Bei's side to have no action, but ......-

At this time, Tai Shici under the city shouted again: "General Wei, I don't know if I can let a certain person in and send the letter to General Wenpin!" ”

When Wei Yan heard this, he smiled bitterly, and said in his heart If I let you in, Wen Zhongye will not give me to military law. It's impossible. This will not work unless I ask him personally and he agrees. But with Wen Zhongye's temper, hehe, it would be strange if he could agree to you Tai Shi Ci coming in, you would not accept the letter or not.

After all, he was short of manpower, and Wei Yan had his own plans, so he said to Tai Shici: "General, wait a while, and wait for me to go to General Mingwen to see how he decides." I don't know if that's okay? ”

Tai Shi Ci smiled, "Thank you General Wei for that!" ”

When Wei Yan from the city heard this, he turned around and went down the city, and then went to find Wen Ping. After all, he really can't be the master of this matter, so he can only ask Wenpin how to deal with it-

When Wei Yan told Wen Yan about it. Wen Ping frowned slightly, and he said to Wei Yan: "Wen Chang." Outside the city, Taishi Ziyi wants to enter the city to deliver a letter? ”

"It's indeed Taishi Ziyi!"

Wen Ping nodded. "Forget it, you don't have to let others in when you enter, just bring the letter up!"

"No!"

To be honest, Wen Ping is not afraid of Tai Shi Ci or anything. It's just that after all, the other party is a world-famous general, so it's definitely not a good thing to let him into the city like this. You say to be on guard or not to be on guard. If you don't have any defense, but if the other party suddenly attacks, then it won't do you any good. But if you say that if you are guarding against them, it will make the world feel that you are too careful. That's where people come to deliver letters.

So in order to avoid these problems, Wen Ping directly turned away Tai Shici, but this gate is the city gate of Xiangyang. As for the letters, in Wen Ping's opinion, after all, he took the initiative to befriend Liu Xuande and his people once, so even if he gave him a face, it was nothing to see for himself.

And after Wei Yan listened to Wen Ping's order, he took the order and left. Since Wen Ping said that he would not let people enter the city, he could only do this-

After a while, Wei Yan appeared at the head of Xiangyang City again. And Tai Shici's eyes were good, and he saw Wei Yan who came back from Wen Ping.

Before Wei Yan could say anything, he heard Tai Shici shouting: "General Wei, but there is a result!" ”

Wei Yan smiled bitterly, "That's right, General Wenpin can just ask the general to present the letter!" ”

Needless to say, smart people understand that this is to turn away Tai Shici. And Tai Shici smiled, this situation, to be honest, was indeed expected by his military advisor. It can be said that his military advisor knows the character of Wen Ping, although he can't say that he knows it well, but he really understands it.

"Okay, since General Wei has said so, then so be it! I also asked General Wei to personally hand over the letter to General Wenpin! ”

As soon as Wei Yan heard Tai Shici's words, ordinary people didn't feel anything, but Wei Yan felt that there was nothing unusual except for it. Because Tai Shici deliberately accentuated the tone of the five words of General Wei and himself, he said these five words with a special accent. Of course, Wei Yan didn't think that Tai Shi Ci was bored like this, and there was nothing to do, so he just said it. Wei Yan is a smart person, so he immediately felt the unusualness of Tai Shici's words-

At this time, Tai Shici tied the letter to his arrow, and then pointed an arrow at the head of the city, and this arrow was shot directly at the head of the city.

Tai Shi Ci didn't have any goals, but right next to Wei Yan, the arrow fell, Wei Yan took the opportunity to pick up the arrow, but he didn't take it apart directly, but said directly to the other soldiers: "Put away the bow and arrow!" ”

"No!"

And Tai Shici under the city smiled, "General Wei, don't forget, personally hand over the letter to General Wenpin, thank you!" So and so he retired! ”

After speaking, Tai Shi Ci turned his horse away, and Wei Yan looked at Tai Shi Ci's distant back, he was thoughtful-

Tai Shici left, but Wei Yan still didn't take the letter that helped him with the arrow directly, and he walked down the city directly with the arrow. In his opinion, Tai Shici said it twice, and he emphasized that General Wei still had the five words personally. There's definitely a lot of meaning in that. So although I don't know the way, it doesn't mean that I can't think about it. Maybe there is something wrong with this letter, after all, although Tai Shici is gone, the letter has stayed.

So when he walked to a place where there were no soldiers, Wei Yan opened the letter, and sure enough, what he thought was indeed good, and there was a problem with the letter. Because the letter is not only for one person, but also for oneself. But Tai Shi Ci never mentioned it, saying that he still had a letter to himself.

But at this time, Wei Yan also understood. Or maybe I thought something wasn't quite right before, but that's what happened.

Liu Bei and Liu Xuande definitely did not pin their hopes on his Wenpin, it should be said that they should know something about Wenpin, so they would not have too many and too high hopes for him at all. It's true. If that's the case, it's better to have hope for yourself. At least he is much better than his Wen Zhongye.

As a result, after Wei Yan saw the contents of Liu Bei's handwritten letter to him. He's sure so. said that the letter to Wen Ping was just a cover-up. However, if he Wen Zhongye can really open the city and surrender and take refuge in Liu Xuande, then of course they will welcome it with both hands, but he knows that Wen Ping will definitely not do this. And Liu Xuande, they will naturally know the Tao. So this letter to themselves, that's what they really purpose.

As for what Tai Shici said in the city, it was nothing more than a cover-up, after all, it was impossible for him to say that he would send a letter to himself. After all, who is Wei Yan and Wei Wenchang, and how many people know the Tao? And if Wen is hired to Zhilu Dao in this matter, it will not be good for himself or Liu Xuande. It's impossible not to make people suspect anything, write to Wen and hire him, that's because he is the guard of Xiangyang, but to write to himself, then it's really up for discussion, this thing is not right.

And Wei Yan at this time, to be honest, he admired the person who gave Liu Bei ideas. At least he calculated Wen Ping's reaction, anyway, no matter how he reacted, the most important thing was that the letter could be handed over to him in person, which was the most important thing. And now that I look at it, it's really like this-

Wei Yan hurriedly returned to his residence first, and then secretly burned Liu Bei's handwritten letter to him, which was regarded as destroying the evidence. To say that he is indeed more careful in doing things, and he also recognizes it, this letter is indeed Liu Bei's handwritten letter. In the end, it depends on how you choose, if you choose him Liu Xuande, of course you will do what he agreed with you, if you don't choose him, then you will do nothing, or you will make a plan.

After burning Liu Bei's handwritten letter to himself, Wei Yan sent Liu Bei's letter to Wen Ping to him.

"General, this is the letter that Tai Shi Ci shot up, please take a look at it!"

After the letter of the result of the appointment, he first nodded to Wei Yan, "Okay, Wen Chang is hard, go back to the city as soon as possible, you are still indispensable to the city guard!" ”

"No!"

After Wei Yan left, Wen Ping unfolded Liu Bei's letter and took a look. As a result, he frowned slightly. I have to say that Liu Bei's writing is indeed relatively simple, and it is nothing more than a persuasion. First of all, Liu Bei said that he had a good time drinking with Wenpin in Xinye before, but unfortunately, now he has become an opponent, which he said he didn't want to see, but now he has to do it. Later, Liu Bei said again, it was nothing more than to start persuading him to surrender, but it was not difficult to see from his words that he really wanted Wenpin to join, and he knew that Wenpin was a talent, so it was like this-

After Wen Ping read it, he really thought a lot in his heart. To tell the truth, he has been in the Jingzhou Army for many years, and of course he also knows about his lord and Cai Mao, and he also knows that his lord does not have the complete right to speak in Jingzhou, but only half.

But Liu Bei and his people, to be honest, Wen Ping can see that his ambition is not small, at least not comparable to his own lord, maybe more is that he doesn't have much power.

But now that his father-in-law is dead, and Cai Mao has let his nephew, that is, his father-in-law's second son Liu Cong, succeed him. To be honest, I also think that Cai Mao took out, the so-called suicide note of his father-in-law may not be true, but even if it is fake, what evidence do you have to prove that it is fake, there is no evidence, so this matter can't be proved at all.

And he, Liu Xuande, in the name of the eldest son, to be honest, this is somewhat useful, but it is useless in his own place. At least the suicide note that Cai Mao took out, even if he thought it was fake, he had no evidence, so he could only let it go. And his father-in-law didn't say that he wanted the eldest prince to succeed to the throne, so although the eldest prince is the eldest son, he doesn't have any particularly strong support, just an identity, and he Liu Xuande, such an uncle, and he himself is counted.
