Chapter 161: Dian Wei vs. Wen Chou
Zhao Yi promoted himself to a good official for the country and the people in just a few words, while Yang Xiu was belittled by Zhao Yi as a mediocre official regardless of importance.
Wen Chou heard Yang Xiu say that Zhao Yi did not let him be the lieutenant of the acting county, and he was quite annoyed in his heart, but when he heard Zhao Yi's words, Wen Chou felt a little guilty, and also felt that Yang Xiu was a little unreliable, and promoted himself to the position of the lieutenant of the capital from an inexperienced person, wouldn't it be irresponsible to the people of the acting county.
If something big really happens, officials like Yang Xiu will definitely do something like abandoning the people and soldiers and fleeing alone, and then put all the responsibility on himself, the captain, who will naturally be able to keep his official position by relying on the relationship between the DPRK and China.
But Wen Chou was a scapegoat. Zhao Yi, a good official who serves the country and the people, is the support of the people.
Chapter 161: Dian Wei vs. Wen Chou
"Please!" Zhao Yi's spirit was shocked, and the corners of his mouth showed an unfathomable smile.
Wen Chou is twenty-five or sixteen years old, burly, and his appearance is quite ordinary, and he can only see from his shining eyes that he is different from people. The pace is steady, the arms are waving vigorously, and there is a thick layer of calluses on the tiger's mouth, which should be caused by holding a gun all year round.
Walking into the backyard, he was stunned when he saw Dian Wei and Tai Shi Ci, several generals with different temperaments and body shapes, glanced around at Dian Wei and the others, and fixed his eyes on Zhao Yi who was standing with a smile.
Zhao Yi stood like this, wearing a white shirt, handsome and slender fingers, quite a bit of a scholar. If it weren't for seeing Zhao Yi defeat the Montenegrin Army with his own eyes, Wen Chou really wouldn't dare to imagine that this young man, who looked a little like a piano master, would be able to defeat the Black Mountain Army like a wolf and a tiger.
Wen Chou hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Humble Wen Chou, please meet your lord." ”
Zhao Yi personally helped Wen Chou up, without a little arrogance, "The general doesn't have to be polite, this is not the court." Asked Wen Chou, "Does the general know what this official called you?" ”
Yang Xiu has already explained to Wen Chou that Zhao Yi asked Wen Chou to go over because he wanted to train Wen Chou with his own hands to become a great tool. It is a good thing for Wen Chou to be guided by Zhao Yi, who is accustomed to fighting. But even though he knew what Zhao Yi was thinking, Wen Chou still pretended not to know and replied, "Yang Junshou only asked the last general to follow the general's orders, and did not explain what was going on. "If Yang Xiu's words are said, wouldn't it be too arrogant. came up and gave Zhao Yi a bad impression, how could there be ugly and good fruits to eat in the future.
"Yang Junshou recommended you as the captain. Have you heard? Zhao Yi stared at Wen Chou and asked. secretly said that he still underestimated Yang Xiu, Yang Xiu did have a set of ways to win people over, Wen Chou was originally a common person, but Yang Xiu promoted Wen Chou to the captain in one step, which can be described as a success. How could Wen Chou not repay Yang Xiu's kindness. There is a way to die for a confidant, Zhuge Liang, the future prime minister of Shu in the Three Kingdoms, isn't it just to repay Liu Bei's kindness, do his best, and die, if there is no Zhuge Liang, Xishu may have perished a long time ago, how can it support such a long time.
Hearing Zhao Yi's inquiry, Wen Chou was stunned for a moment, did not hide it, nodded and admitted, "The county guard once mentioned the humble position. After a conversation with Zhao Yi, Wen Chou, who felt that his palms were sweating. A simple question, Wen Chou had to think carefully about how to answer in order not to offend Zhao Yi.
Seeing Wen Chou's cautious appearance, Zhao Yi chuckled, "The general doesn't need to be nervous, this official has no other meaning when he called you here, just to see if the general can take the position of captain." It's not that I spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, just because the general has no experience in leading troops, and the situation in Daijun is quite complicated, not only the Xianbei tribe, but also the Huns, and the slightest mistake will cause a monstrous disaster, so this official can't just rely on the words of Yang Junshou and his family to entrust you with a heavy responsibility, but to see your ability. In this way, the official can rest assured that he will dare to hand over the post of lieutenant to you. This is a big matter, please don't blame the general. ”
Zhao Yi promoted himself to a good official for the country and the people in just a few words, while Yang Xiu was belittled by Zhao Yi as a mediocre official regardless of importance. Wen Chou heard Yang Xiu say that Zhao Yi did not let him be the lieutenant of the acting county, and he was quite annoyed in his heart, but when he heard Zhao Yi's words, Wen Chou felt a little guilty, and also felt that Yang Xiu was a little unreliable, and promoted himself to the position of the lieutenant of the capital from an inexperienced person, wouldn't it be irresponsible to the people of the acting county. If something big really happens, officials like Yang Xiu will definitely do something like abandoning the people and soldiers and fleeing alone, and then put all the responsibility on himself, the captain, who will naturally be able to keep his official position by relying on the relationship between the DPRK and China. But Wen Chou was a scapegoat. Zhao Yi, a good official who serves the country and the people, is the support of the people.
Zhao Yi dared to personally lead 200 soldiers to fight with a thousand Black Mountain troops for the sake of the people of a village, did Yang Xiu dare?
"My lord is thinking about his humble position, how dare he blame his humble position." Wen Chou hurriedly said, figuring out the key to the matter, Wen Chou's hatred for Zhao Yi was suddenly completely impacted, and it was naturally best to be able to rise to prominence, but this official position was likely to smash him to pieces. According to Zhao Yi's words, step by step, steady and solid marching is the king.
Zhao Yi sighed and said with relief: "It is naturally best for the general to understand the intentions of this official." He pondered for a moment, "I heard Yang Junshou say that the general is strong in martial arts, I don't know if you have the courage to fight with my subordinate generals?" ”
Zhao Yi's words were quite contemptuous, asking a bloody man if he had the courage to fight with others, it was simply an insult to a warrior, Wen Chou was also a bloody person, his face suddenly turned red, and he was provoked by Zhao Yi's simple words, his eyes swept over Tai Shici and the others, and he said angrily, "Which general will my lord send to fight with me." ”
Seeing Wen Chou's angry appearance, Zhao Yi secretly shook his head in his heart, a general with brains has a better chance of winning than a general with a hot head. With such an impulsive personality, An Neng took on the position of acting county lieutenant. But it is also said that in the entire Three Kingdoms era, only Sima Yi, a hero, still talks and laughs in women's clothes.
"General Dian Wei, let's talk to General Wen Chou." Zhao Yi summoned Dian Wei out, but he stood aside with everyone, leaving a large piece of open space for Dian Wei and Wen Chou. and admonished Dian Wei: "General Wenchou is a famous general in Hebei, don't underestimate the enemy." ”
Dian Wei has fought with Tai Shici and Murong Fu many times in the past few days, and suddenly changed an opponent, with an excited face, and happened to use Wen Chou to verify his martial arts.
Wen Chou took the steel spear and stared at the burly man in front of him who was like an iron tower, the double iron halberd in his hand paused, and the spear slowly stretched forward, making an offensive posture.
Tong Yuan looked at the two people who were fighting, and said with some worry, "Dian Wei's martial arts are outstanding, how can Wen Chou be Dian Wei's opponent." Zhao Yi's admonition to Dian Wei just now was clearly to let Dian Wei do his best. Dian Wei has fought against many famous generals in the past few days, and has been guided by Tong Yuan, and his martial arts have improved a lot compared to before, and there are probably less than five people who can match him in the world. Tong Yuan could see from Wen Chou's walking that Wen Chou had kung fu, but he was absolutely invincible to his opponent. Isn't Zhao Yi worried that Dian Wei will beat Wen Chou to death with one move?
"Seniors, don't worry, if Wen Chou can't support it, I will shout to stop." Zhao Yi still had that indifferent smile on the corner of his mouth. If Wen Chou couldn't pass fifty rounds in the hands of Dian Wei, then Zhao Yi would not be handed over to Wen Chou as the lieutenant of the county.
Wen Chou's spear was lightly picked, and the tip of the spear was like a devouring snake, and the letter arrived at Dian Wei's face in the blink of an eye. Dian Wei shouted, "Good coming! The iron halberd in his hand was picked up, and the spear that was about to reach the door was picked aside, and the other iron halberd swept out, and the sharp sound of the wind went straight to Wen Chou's soft underbelly.
Dian Wei's arm strength was amazing, and he almost picked Wen Chou's spear away. Before Wen Chou could react, he glanced at Dian Wei's halberd and moved slightly, secretly screaming that it was not good, the forward trend suddenly stopped, and he took two steps back lightly, avoiding Dian Wei's sweep. Holding the gun again, knowing that the person in front of him was superb in martial arts, he took away his contempt, looked at Dian Wei cautiously, and did not dare to take the lead in attacking again.
The double iron halberd in Dian Wei's hand pulled out layers of black shadows, laughed, and strode out towards Wen Chou. Wen Chou was shocked by Dian Wei's momentum, his face was covered with fine beads of sweat, if the master retreated, the opponent's momentum was like a rainbow, and he could only be suppressed. Wen Chou clenched his spear and let out a roar as he attacked Dian Wei again.
The sound of metal colliding sounded, Murong Fu and Tai Shi Ci watched the fight in the field with burning eyes, the spear in Wen Chou's hand moved flexibly, and Zhao Yi could only see a silver-white shadow swaying, and the white shadow on the iron halberd in Dian Wei's hand disappeared instantly.
The iron halberd in Dian Wei's hand flipped freely, one defense and one offense, and the end was extremely powerful. The two sides fought for 90 rounds, and Dian Wei sold a flaw, which made Wen Chou scheming and picking off the spear in Wen Chou's hand.
Wen Chou admired Dian Wei's martial arts very much, and immediately bowed down to defeat, and went away with arrogance, "The general's martial arts are outstanding, and Wen Chou is not as good as him." ”
The battle just now also made Dian Wei hearty, said a few kind words, and stood aside.
Zhao Yi nodded, maybe this is Wen Chou's real force, although he affirmed Wen Chou's martial arts in his heart, but his face did not show appreciation, but sighed, "The general is so martial arts, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be a big responsibility, why don't you temporarily under this official account, after the general's force is improved, how about I entrust me with a heavy responsibility?" ”
The winner is the prince and the loser, Wen Chou was speechless to refute, so he could only give up his hand and say: "Everything is at the disposal of the general." Wen Chou didn't notice the loophole in Zhao Yi's words. Zhao Yi did not say that Wen Chou surpassed Dian Wei and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, and everyone could not know what kind of realm Wen Chou's martial arts would improve to satisfy Zhao Yi in Zhao Yi's heart. If Zhao Yi didn't say anything about it, Wen Chou might have to listen to Zhao Yi's account.
Zhao Yi called Tai Shici and asked him to temporarily act as the lieutenant of Daijun, and immediately went to meet with Yang Xiu and go to Daijun to take office. Zhao Yi has been delayed in Zhuo County for two days, and decided to go to Youzhou tomorrow to take office.
If an ordinary official receives an order from the imperial court, he is afraid that he will immediately take office, but Zhao Yi is not. And others can't hold Zhao Yi's handle, Zhuo County is also the boundary of Youzhou, and Youzhou Mu is in charge of Youzhou, so he naturally has the power to appear in various places.
suppressed Wen Chou's arrogance, Zhao Yi will naturally gather people's hearts, "The general is at ease here, the general's martial arts and ways of doing things are mastered, and if he makes a few great contributions, the official will immediately go to the court." At that time, the general's achievements will not be comparable to those of the captains. "The situation in Youzhou is complicated, even in the peaceful years, there are still wars, not to mention the troubled times, it is too easy to make a few contributions.
"Thank you, General, for cultivating." Wen Chou hurriedly bowed and saluted.
Zhao Yi pulled Wen Chou aside and asked curiously, "Will the general return the carbine?" ”
Wen Chou's face changed, and he looked at Zhao Yi in shock, "How could the general know?" This is the last style of my marksmanship, and I don't know if I am not a disciple. ”
Sure enough, from the fight between Wen Chou and Dian Wei, Zhao Yi knew that Wen Chou's martial arts were extraordinary, and it was impossible for him to turn around and retreat when he was fighting with Guan Yu, and he was more inclined to the second speculation in his heart. Zhao Yi was wondering if he should remind Wen Chou, don't use the rifle against a red-faced and long-haired man in the future.
At this time, the gatekeeper walked into the courtyard and put a letter in Zhao Yi's hand, with the inscription "Zhuojun County Guard Zhao Yi personally opened." ”
Zhao Yi opened the letter and glanced at it, looked at Wen Qin who was standing next to him, and asked the soldier, "Where is the messenger now?" ”
