Chapter 126: Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas
Wei Yan was happy in his heart, but his face was sullen, and he arched his hand and said: "Since this is the case, if you go to Donglai, it can be regarded as worrying about the country." ”
"Haha...... Okay, when the chief of the table is the general of the left and the Donglai Taishou, he can go to the post immediately. Yuan Shao held Wei Yan's hand and said
Wei Yan said goodbye to Yuan Shao and returned to the camp, where all the generals were waiting.
Wei Yanxi smiled and said, "It's a big deal. ”
"The lord is so happy, he should have gotten a good place, right?" Xi Zhicai asked with a smile.
"Let's see." Wei Yan handed him a letter of appointment.
Xi Zhicai saw it, his face twitched a few times, and he said unhappily: "Why is the lord so confused, this Donglai deserted place ......"
Wei Yan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Alas~ Mr. Xi, don't be angry, I see that chaos is coming, I should wait to recuperate and wait to move, this Donglai is a good place, and it will not attract the attention of others." ”
"The lord is confused, if you just want to get a place and steal a living, Donglai is enough, if you want to dominate the world...... Alas......" Xi Zhicai angrily slapped the appointment letter on the table.
"What do you think?" Wei Yan looked at the others and asked.
Pei Yuanshao said nonchalantly: "I listen to the boss, and I will go wherever the boss says." ”
"Me too." Dian Wei said.
"It's not a day or two for us to get along with the lord, the lord has always been planning and then acting, and he has the ability to make decisions, and this move must have deep meaning, and I also approve of it." Xu Huang said with a deep groan.
Zhou Cang and Wu Anguo were all people who didn't talk much, and they stood directly behind Wei Yan to show their support.
"Alas~ That's it, the matter has come to this, it's too late to regret it." Xi Zhicai saw that everyone supported Wei Yan, so he didn't say more.
"Mr. Xi, don't worry, you will know how correct your choice is today." Wei Yan said with a smile.
He knew that it was not that Xi Zhicai had no vision, but that he was limited by the times.
On the second day, Yuan Shao suddenly sent someone to invite Wei Yan.
"The family is unfortunate, the family is unfortunate...... Yuan Shao took Wei Yan's hand and sighed.
"What happened?" Wei Yan asked.
"Alas!" Yuan Shao sighed and said hatefully: "The highway was unprepared last night, and it was ...... actually stole the jade seal of the country and ran away! ”
"Ahh Wei Yan was dumbfounded.
The inertia of history is too great, and after all this, the jade seal still fell into the hands of Yuan Shu.
"Now that Yuan Shu has fled to Runan, he wants to send troops to attack, and he will take the jade seal back no matter what!" Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and said.
"The general came to me, I don't know what I can do for the general?" Wei Yan asked.
Yuan Shao sighed again, and then said: "Today's Gongsun Zan Chen Bingjie Bridge, I really can't spare my hand, and I also ask Wen Chang to go to Bogui to ask for peace on my behalf, and I am willing to give up Zhongshan to show my sincerity." ”
Yuan Shaozhen is not a thing to step on a horse, Wei Yan scolded in his heart, although Zhongshan belongs to Jizhou, but now it is in the hands of Gongsun Zhan, you obviously want to use Lao Tzu to block the gun.
"Done." Wei Yan nodded in agreement.
"You promised." Yuan Shao was stunned, he originally thought that he was going to waste his tongue, but he didn't expect Wei Yan to agree so quickly.
"Hmph, I originally thought you Wei Yan was a smart person, but I didn't expect you to be a fool." Yuan Shao was secretly proud in his heart.
The trick he used was called killing with a knife.
Let Wei Yan negotiate with Gongsun Zhan, it will be the best to negotiate, and if the negotiation fails, let the two fight, no matter who is destroyed, he will not suffer, and he can get some cheap.
"But ......," Wei Yan smacked his mouth.
Yuan Shao's cheeks trembled, "What else does Wen Chang want?" ”
"There is little food in the army."
"Give each soldier fifteen days' worth of food and grass."
"Please also ask the general to give a thousand war horses." Wei Yan saw that Yuan Shao was so good at talking, so he quickly opened his mouth.
Yuan Shaoqing's muscles were exposed, and he almost scolded his mother, war horses were in short supply, and he himself was not rich, most of his subordinates were infantry, if he took out a thousand war horses at a time, it would make him feel painful.
"Two hundred horses, and I am not rich in my hands." Yuan Shao said.
"Five hundred horses, you also know that negotiation is about equal strength, our army's strength is too weak, it will inevitably be looked down upon, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to negotiate." Wei Yan was embarrassed.
Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and said, "Three hundred, no more." ”
"Deal." Wei Yanle held Yuan Shao's hand, a good man.
In this way, with the addition of the previous war horses, Wei Yan can form a cavalry, and his strength can be raised to a higher level again.
With so many good things, Wei Yan naturally had to work for others, and the next day he set off for Anding.
Before Wei Yan arrived at Anding, Gongsun Zhan had already received the news.
"Brother Bogui, Wei Wenchang must be Yuan Benchu's lobbyist, so he has to guard against it." Liu Bei said.
It turned out that Liu Bei's three brothers had nowhere to go, so they threw themselves under Gongsun Zhan.
"If Wei Yan dares to come, he will screw off his head!" Zhang Fei said with big eyes.
"Third brother, don't talk nonsense." Liu Bei hurriedly stopped him.
Gongsun Zhan nodded, "Then Wei Yan's person is not good, and he is not afraid of him, if he wants to fight any crooked brain, he doesn't mind killing him." ”
"If the elder brother wants to destroy Wei Yan first, the younger brother is willing to help the elder brother." Liu Bei intervened and said.
"Haha...... Xuande, don't be nervous, now that a certain person is coming with all his strength, then Wei Wenchang only has 5,000 soldiers and horses, forgive him and dare not make any changes. Gongsun Zhan pulled Liu Bei and said.
"Report to the general, Wei Yan asks to see you." They were talking, when suddenly a sergeant came in to give an report.
"Oh? It's fast enough. Gongsun Zhan's expression was grim.
"How many of them came?" Gongsun Chan asked.
"Wei Yan only brought fifty cavalry, and the rest of the troops were stationed thirty miles away." The sergeant replied.
"Brother, this guy only brought this little person, and we just killed him to avenge yesterday's revenge." Zhang Fei said hatefully.
"This ......" Liu Bei was also hesitating.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if you miss this opportunity, you don't know if you can kill him in the future.
"Xuande, I know that there is a grudge between you, but now we should not make more enemies." Gongsun Chan said.
"Brother Bogui, as long as Wei Yan is killed, his subordinates will have no backbone, and Brother Bogui can take them in, isn't this killing two birds with one stone?" Liu Bei said.
"This ......" Gongsun Zhan was a little moved.
"What else do you want! I'll meet him first. Zhang Fei said and strode out.
"The third brother must not be reckless." Guan Yu said, but did not stop Zhang Fei, but walked out with Zhang Fei.
"Alas...... Don't blame Brother Bogui, my third brother is too reckless. Liu Bei apologized to Gongsun Zhan.
Gongsun Chan smiled and said, "It's okay, let's go and have a look." ”
In fact, Gongsun Zhan also wanted to kill Wei Yan and then annex his men, but he was afraid that if he didn't succeed, he would provoke a big enemy.
Now that Zhang Fei is willing to come forward, he is happy to watch the excitement, if Wei Yan is killed by Zhang Fei, he will pick up the cheap, and if he can't kill him, he will have a reason to shirk.
