Wei Yan was released by Cao Jun, and was not subjected to any additional abuse, except for his messy clothes and armor, and was sent back in this way.

In this regard, Liu Pan was puzzled. If the war is over, then whether the victor is Cao Cao's side or his own side, Cao Jun's release of Wei Yan has a reasonable reason. However, now that the war is still going on, how could they still put Wei Yan back for no reason to increase the garrison in the city? Although Liu Pan didn't like Wei Yan, he also knew that the other party's ability was indeed good, and now that Huang Zhong was injured, Wei Yan's return could play a big role. Even if Coach Cao Jun didn't understand Wei Yan's value, he would never send Wei Yan back unconditionally.

Could it be that there is fraud in it? For such an unbelievable thing, Liu Pan couldn't think of a reason if he wanted to break his head. Since the hard thinking was fruitless, Liu Pan's heart couldn't help but have a trace of doubt about Wei Yan in the end.

"Wei Wenchang ......," Liu Pan kept muttering in his heart. Once this doubt arises, it is difficult to completely erase it from the heart. Yes, how could there be such a cheap thing in the world, and how could Cao Jun release the captives for no reason without asking for any benefits?

I'm afraid this Wei Yan can't be trusted anymore. Did he make some kind of agreement with Cao Jun? Or is it that it has already descended, and what is the conspiracy to return to the city this time?

"General." Seeing Liu Pan, Wei Yan's face was also extremely unnatural. Originally, he planned to make a big achievement, which surprised Liu Pan. It's a pity that it backfired, and he didn't make any credit, but because of his reckless behavior this time, he caused great losses. Therefore, facing Liu Pan now, Wei Yan also has a trace of confusion in his heart.

However, thinking of what the gloomy-faced old man in Cao Ying's camp said to him before leaving, Wei Yan couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart.

"Wei Yan ignored military discipline, sent troops privately, and caused casualties to our sergeants for no reason, his crime is not light! Pull down the rod and blame fifty! Liu Pan said expressionlessly.

This cane blame is inevitable, and it has nothing to do with whether Liu Pan has doubts in his heart. After all, the previous suspicion was just one-sided speculation, and it was impossible to count. It's just that Wei Yan has already made a big mistake, so he naturally has to be punished, and it can even be said that the punishment of fifty canes is already very light. Judging from Wei Yan's behavior this time, even if he is beheaded and questioned, no one can say that Liu Pan has done too much.

"General!" Wei Yan saw that Liu Pan wanted to scold himself with a cane, and he was in a hurry. Wei Yan's character is like this, after making a mistake, he can pull down his face and admit his mistakes in a low voice. But if anyone wants to punish themselves, it is something that Wei Yan can't bear.

Although he knew that in terms of his own guilt, these fifty rods were absolutely not wronged, but Wei Yan was not convinced in his heart, and he just didn't want to be punished by these fifty rods.

"Needless to say, pull down and fight!" Liu Pan ignored Wei Yan's reaction and ordered the soldiers to drag him down to the cane. If you make such a mistake but don't punish it, then you, the Wancheng Taishou, will go up as soon as possible.

Fifty canes is definitely not a small amount, if it were replaced by ordinary village people, they would have run out of gas after a beating. And although Wei Yan is brave, these fifty canes are not easy to bear, not to mention that he was already injured a lot when he robbed the camp before, so these fifty canes are even more difficult.

"Remove the position of Marquis of Wei Yan and demote him to Dubo." As soon as the fifty canes were finished, before Wei Yan had time to catch his breath, Liu Pan issued another order that was enough to make Wei Yan grit his teeth with hatred.

Although Du Bo is only one rank lower than the military marquis, the former can only supervise 100 people, while the latter can supervise 500 people, and the gap between them is definitely not small. Moreover, although Wei Yan led the position of marquis, under the care of Huang Zhong, he led a team of up to 1,000 people. And now that the team of 1,000 people is dead and wounded, and Wei Yan has been demoted to Dubo, no matter how much Huang Zhong takes care of him in the future, the team he can lead can only be a team of 100 people, which is how Wei Yan can not be angry.

Wei Yan has always taken becoming a general as his biggest goal. has been in the position of military marquis for a long time, and has not been promoted to the rank of captain, which has made Wei Yan very dissatisfied. And now that he has been demoted, he is very angry.

"How is the general! Wei Yan's defeat is not right, but victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and I can make meritorious service to atone for my sins in the future, why degrade my position? Wei Yan was unhappy, and his tone was a little unkind.

"Reward and punishment, this is the root of the general, don't you know! Today, if you commit such a big mistake, you deserve to be punished, and you dare to complain? Being rushed by Wei Yan like this, Liu Pan's anger also came up, and he shouted sharply.

In terms of unhappiness in his heart, Liu Pan is definitely better than Wei Yan. lost more than 1,000 people overnight, and Huang Zhong was seriously injured and fell into a coma, how could Liu Pan be in a good mood.

Wei Yan was indignant in his heart, but he didn't dare to show too much at this moment, so he could only suppress the anger in his heart, and returned to his mansion with his bloody body with the support of his own soldiers.

————————————————————————————————

Back in the house, lying on the couch, recalling what Jia Xu said to himself, Wei Yan had another layer of cold sweat on his forehead.

"What's the matter if I let the general go back to Wancheng? But the general needs to think about it. Surrender to our army, fame and fortune are at your fingertips, and the future can be described as immeasurable. And if the general returns to Wancheng, the time of death is near. In a few days, Liu Pan will kill the general! ”

Originally, Wei Yan was still alarmist as Jia Xu, even if Liu Pan hated himself, it was impossible to say that he wanted to kill himself. However, after Wei Yan was reprimanded and demoted by Liu Pancane, he began to be afraid, lest what Jia Xu said would come true.

Liu Pan's attitude towards himself is obviously worse than before.

In fact, Liu Pan just did his part, although he suspected Wei Yan, he would not casually wronged the other party without evidence. If it was Huang Zhong instead of Wei Yan who made a big mistake this time, Liu Pan would definitely deal with it in the same way, and would never open up or show mercy to his subordinates just because he was familiar with Huang Zhong.

However, Wei Yan and Liu Pan had a bad relationship, so he first had subjective thoughts in his heart. Coupled with what Jia Xu said to him before, it can be regarded as planting a seed in Wei Yan's subconscious. After Wei Yan returned to the city, punishment was inevitable, unless Liu Pan was mediocre enough as the main general. And under the influence of this seed, Wei Yan is likely to regard all the punishments Liu Pan has done as a precursor to wanting to kill himself. When this seed sprouts and grows, it will be the day when Wancheng will return to Cao Jun.
