Not to mention, Tai Shici, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao shouted after Wen Chou, and it really played a big role. After all, no matter how loud Wen Chou's voice is, he is just one person, and Tai Shici and them are three loud voices.

As for the Jingzhou Army, Wei Yan surrendered to the enemy, I don't know where the road is, and the main general was captured alive, how many of them are still ready to fight Liu Beijun to the death? Not to mention that the morale was gone, it was Liu Biao who died now, and Liu Cong had just succeeded to the throne not long ago, and the soldiers had not been grateful for the kindness of the lord of their hearts, and as a result, Xiangyang City was broken by the enemy. So the people who worked hard for Liu Cong were only a few, and most of them either fled or surrendered, and the Jingzhou Army was not a hard-headed team in the first place-

To say that the most difficult thing is to take Xiangyang "effortlessly", this is definitely not appropriate. But for Liu Bei, it is true that the price he paid is very small, and it is actually easier than he expected, and he is very satisfied with this.

Liu Bei finally saw Wei Yan, Wei Yan saw Liu Bei at a glance, he could naturally tell that Liu Bei was the main master, and everyone else was subordinates, so he hurriedly gave a salute: "The lord is above, Yiyang Wei Yan Wei Wenchang has seen the lord!" ”

Liu Bei hurriedly supported Wei Yan, "Chief Wen doesn't have to be polite, thanks to Chief Wen's help tonight, our army was able to break through Xiangyang City!" ”

Wei Yanshi hurriedly said modestly: "Everything depends on the soldiers' lives, the military division is strategizing, and the subordinates have only done a little bit of their best!" ”

Liu Bei smiled when he heard this, "Hahaha!" Okay, let's not talk about that, anyway, we will reward it together! ”

"Thank you, my lord!"

For the reward these. Wei Yan did not shirk either. After all, in his opinion, if he has made a meritorious service, he should have been rewarded for meritorious deeds, which is the case in any army, this is what he deserves, and he will naturally not be polite-

In this way, Liu Bei, with the help of Wei Yan, joined forces inside and outside, opened the north gate of Xiangyang City, and Liu Beijun drove straight in. After that, Wen Chousheng captured Wen Ping. The Jingzhou soldiers were not willing to fight, and they successfully occupied Xiangyang, the largest city in the north of Nanyang.

For Liu Bei, the meaning of occupying Xiangyang is significant, which means that his power has been transferred from Nanyang Xinye. It expanded southward to Yangyang in Nam-gun, although it was still only the northernmost part of Nam-gun. But it's off to a good start. That's half the battle.

Then, Liu Bei introduced Wei Yan and his subordinates to each other, after all, after Wei Yan joined his own side, he also made his own account, so everyone will be colleagues in the future. Now that there is a chance, of course, it is better to get to know each other's subordinates first.

But to be honest, on the surface, everyone was still more polite to Wei Yan, but in fact. Whether it is Tai Shici, Wen Chou, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, they really don't think much of Wei Yan. First, they really don't know what Wei Yan's ability is, but Wei Yan is on the verge of defection, this who makes them really a little ashamed, after all, Wei Yan is definitely not a glorious thing, he himself thinks it's nothing, but in the eyes of outsiders, his people are a little unreliable-

After all, everyone's thoughts are different, in fact, in Wei Yan's thoughts, he really didn't feel what he was doing. As for what others think of themselves, that's really not the most important thing. The most important thing is how his lord feels about himself, at least he is a talent in the Jingzhou army, but he is sure that he will never be like this under his lord's account. Now his father-in-law Liu Xuande is not only more ambitious than Liu Jingsheng, but also has the ability, but also has vision, and he will never be wrong.

Wei Yan believes in his own feelings very much, Liu Biaoqi's vision is like that, or although he doesn't dare to say what kind of talent he is, at least he is much better than some people, compared to those generals, but what is his status in the Jingzhou Army, he is a guard of the city gate. I think it's overkill, it's enough to defend a city by myself, and I ended up being a city gatekeeper?

Therefore, Wei Yan's unwillingness is not a day or two, in fact, it can be said that it has accumulated over time, day after day, year after year, although he has not been in the Jingzhou army for so many years, but the time is abnormal, and the unwillingness accumulated is more and more, so sooner or later, it will erupt. After all, Wei Yanqi is definitely not a willing person to endure and can endure it for a while, but his kind of person will definitely not be able to endure it for a lifetime, if he can do that, he will not be Wei Wenchang.

Therefore, Wei Yan's defection to Liu Bei was not an accident, but an inevitability. But because Zhuge Liang was not there, no one went to beat him. For Liu Bei, Wei Yan is a great hero, and he is really hard to say. And he can see that as long as he is still there, and he is worthy of him Wei Yan Wei Wenchang, he Wei Wenchang will definitely not betray him easily. At least now, Liu Bei thinks that's it, and he still has confidence in Wei Yanqi that he can grasp it, how to say that Liu Bei is a hero-

After Liu Bei said a few words to everyone, he let everyone rest, after all, there are things to do tomorrow.

The night passed, and in the daytime, after Liu Bei came, after using the morning food with everyone, he asked the soldiers to bring Wen Ping, who was captured by his own side. Although Wen Ping was captured alive, but the treatment was not bad, anyway, he and Liu Bei had known each other for a long time, and Liu Bei had to persuade him, so he didn't lock him up, but just put him under house arrest. And Wen Ping is also honest, he knows that he can't escape by himself, so he can only be at the mercy of Liu Bei and them.

In the morning, the soldiers were brought to Liu Bei, and he knew what to do. Liu Bei wants to persuade himself, but if he wants to persuade him, is it so easy?

As soon as Liu Bei saw that Wen was here, he said, "Zhongye, please take a seat!" ”

Wen Ping was also polite, and found a place to sit down, and at this time Liu Bei smiled at him, "Zhongye, I heard from the soldiers, but you didn't eat at the court." I don't know if the food is unappetizing? ”

Liu Bei asked the soldier to send Wen Ping a meal that was exactly the same as his own to Wen Ping, but Wen Ping didn't move a bite, so he knew this. Liu Bei actually understands that Wen Ping just has opinions about himself.

Wen Ping snorted coldly when he heard this, and he glanced at everyone present. Zhilu Dao, except for Xu Shu outside the city, Liu Bei's subordinates are all here. Even Wei Yan, a latecomer. All here. And when Wen Ping saw Wei Yanhou. He is so angry, if it weren't for such a traitor on his side, could Xiangyang City be destroyed overnight? ——

Wei Yan naturally knew that Wen Ping looked at him, and he looked at Wen Ping without fear. To be honest, he did feel a lot of guilt in his heart, although Wen Ping trusted himself. But it's really useless for me. Because this is not what he wants at all, and what he wants, Liu Xuande can give it to himself. So he joined the enemy without hesitation and became a traitor, but he didn't feel too guilty.

After all, what he has done to the Jingzhou Army over the years is enough. What is a Xiangyang City, anyway, I really don't feel anything. And Wen Ping's anger, he is indeed very clear in his heart. However, Wei Yan did not regret this at all, even if he did it again, he would do it without hesitation. As for Wen Ping, although he understood Wen Ping, Wei Yan felt that if he didn't do it for himself, then he really didn't know what to say.

Anyway, he doesn't owe him Wenpin, he Wenpin trusts himself, that's his mistake, and he doesn't feel too embarrassed-

Liu Bei just snorted coldly when he saw Wen Ping, and then didn't say anything, he said in his heart, he was really dissatisfied with himself.

After that, he saw Wen Ping staring at Wei Yan, and then Wei Yan also looked at Wen Ping, what was the two competing? But no matter what it is, it's not a bad thing for me.

At this time, Liu Bei continued to say to Wen Ping: "Zhongye, I don't know what Zhongye thinks of the current situation in Jingzhou?" ”

Don't look at Liu Bei's question, but what he means, Wen Ping understands, Liu Bei just wants to say, you see that Jingzhou is like this now, your current lord is young, and Liu Cong still has a very good relationship with Cai's family, so Liu Cong's Jingzhou is definitely not good, so don't you have other plans for Wen Ping? However, although Liu Bei meant this, he would not just say it directly.

As for Wenpin, although he is not very optimistic about Liu Cong, but no matter what, Liu Cong is the current lord of Jingzhou, which is true. is still the same thing, even if you know that what Cai Mao took out is fake, but what evidence do you have to prove that what people take out is fake, so you ......

At this time, Wen Ping said: "Xuande Gong, my lord Liu Cong, although he is young, he is a talent, so I believe that with the efforts of my lord, the land of Jingzhou will only be more prosperous than before!" ”

Liu Bei laughed secretly in his heart when he heard this, and said in his heart Do you believe Wen Zhongye, anyway, I don't believe it, I guess you don't believe it. But even so, you still said it, and said it to my lord and my lord, and did not say it to me and to all those present? That means that you are a man of the lord, so you don't want to take refuge in me anymore? ——

After ten seconds, Liu Bei said again: "Ha Lu Ha! Zhongye's words, but I don't dare to agree! ”

Wen Ping raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but he didn't say anything, but only listened to Liu Bei is continuation: "Now that Brother Jingsheng is newly dead, it can be said that Jingzhou is definitely an internal and external trouble, I don't know if Lu Dao Zhongye thinks this is the case?" ”

Wen Ping closed his eyes, didn't say anything, didn't do anything, he actually acquiesced.

"There are Cai Mao and the family they represent in Jingzhou, and Nanyang in the north. Not only Ma Mengqi's Liangzhou Army, but also Cao Mengde's Yanzhou Army, and even Jiangdong in the east, there is also the "Little Overlord" Sun Bofu, so isn't Jingzhou an internal and external trouble? ”

Liu Bei said this, in fact, Wen Ping certainly knew the way. He also knew that if these people plus Liu Bei were to say, then it would be the five parties, and it would be interesting if these five parties all came to Jingzhou. At that time, Jingzhou will be lively. The war will not stop for a while, and the five parties are vying for Jingzhou, and it is actually the common people who suffer. No matter how small a war is, it will inevitably affect the people.

And what Liu Bei meant, now all five parties are staring at Jingzhou. So Jingzhou will definitely be chaotic, so what choice will you make when the time comes. Unless you Wen Zhongye is loyal to Liu Cong. I'm ready to do my best for it. Otherwise, you have to make a choice from the other four parties. This is actually what Liu Bei meant, and of course Wen Ping will not understand-

After listening to Liu Bei's words, Wen Ping said: "Xuande Gong, please listen to the next word, the meaning of the next is that although it is also admitted that what Xuan Degong said is not unreasonable. But even if Jingzhou is really a five-party competition. Naturally, I won't stay out of the matter, but even so, I still want to serve under my main account, and I have no other plans! ”

Liu Bei listened. The heart said that why is your Wen Ping stubborn, what is there to do with that Liu Cong, can it be said that you Wen Zhongye wants to work with Cai Mao? In Liu Bei's opinion, Wen Ping has never been Cai Mao's person, and he and Cai Mao definitely belong to different paths, but how can you look at it today, and his person is ......

It's just that Liu Bei didn't think about it, it's not that Wen Ping wants to be with Cai Mao, this is simply impossible. He just wants to continue to follow Liu Cong, after all, now that he Liu Cong is the successor decided by Liu Biao himself. And Wen hires his person, I have to say that his person is definitely not like Wei Yan, he still values his reputation more. And no matter what, Liu Cong is the second son of the original lord, so Wen Ping feels that he has to fulfill his duties as a subordinate and protect the current lord.

It's just a pity that he is now trapped in Xiangyang and captured by Liu Bei. Looking at the current situation, he can't have any free path, unless he joins Liu Bei's account, but he really doesn't want to do this. If Liu Bei persecuted himself, it would be difficult for a strong man. In Wen Ping's view, Liu Bei and his people cherish their wings and value their reputation, but they would not do such a thing-

Not only Liu Bei, but everyone else can also see that Wen Ping is really stubborn. To put it bluntly, it's not that he doesn't want to join him, although I don't know what Lu Dao is because of, but he must have his own reasons for being hired. But what is the specific reason, to be honest, everyone is not that curious to know Lu Dao. It's just that they really hope that Wenpin can join them, but looking at the current situation, it is difficult, or it is impossible at all.

Liu Bei sighed at this time, "Alas, the so-called 'everyone has their own ambitions, why should they be strong', since Zhongye has his own plans, then I won't say more today." It's just that I still want to say that no matter when Zhongye is, as long as you want to join our army, then I welcome Zhongye to join at any time! ”

Now that Liu Bei knows that he can only say so. Looking at Wen Ping's appearance of not entering the oil and salt, he knew that he was out of action today. Although Yuan Zhi was still outside the city and did not come in, since he was not there, there was no need to look for him at this time. When he is sent away, it's not too late to find him again. After all, I have hit a wall today, and the matter of persuading Wen Ren will be over for the time being, and I will ask Yuan Zhi later to see if he has any good solutions.

Wen Ping just smiled and didn't say much. In his opinion, Liu Bei really didn't say more, and he didn't give up on himself. But it doesn't matter, the main thing is that even if I am in the past today, I don't know what will happen in the future.

Sure enough, I heard Liu Bei say to the soldiers: "Come on, take General Wen down to have a good rest, and be entertained!" ”

"No!"

It sounds good, but in fact, Liu Bei is saying that Wen Ping will be put under house arrest again, be sure to guard him well, watch him, and don't let him run away when he goes there, in fact, that's what he meant-

After Wen was hired, the first thing he couldn't help but was Wen Chou, who was not very good-tempered, and he was also the one who captured Wen Ping. To be honest, although Liu Bei deliberately said that he wanted to capture Wen Ping alive, Wen Chou also regretted it a little at this time, even if he didn't kill him, there was no problem with letting him get hurt a little. Looking at the way he was before, he couldn't get angry. (To be continued......)
