Wuyin County Government, in the hall. (）

Wang Can sat above, and below sat Zhang Liao, Pang De, Zhang Xiu and others.

Zhang Liao's face was full of smiles, and he clenched his fists and said, "Lord, if you come a day late, I'm afraid that Wuyin County will be Cao Cao's belly." Zhang Liao led the people and soldiers to block Cao Cao, but he was not confident that he could block Cao Cao all the time.

Wang Can shook his head and said, "Cao Cao's grain and grass are not enough, and it is difficult to attack for a long time. ”

Pang De said: "Lord, Cao Cao has returned to Yuzhou, and Wuyin County has also been taken, shall we return to Xiangyang?" ”

Wang Can shook his head and said, "Don't go back for the time being, there are still things to be done." ”

"Please let the Lord know!" Zhang Xiu asked with his fists clenched.

Wang Can bowed his head slightly, and said in a slow voice: "For the time being, our army has the territory of Xiangyang and the north of Xiangyang, but there are still many counties in the east and south that have not been submitted to the table. I led my troops to the north, and I first took the county seat north of Jingzhou, and then came to pacify the counties in the south. ”

With a turn of his eyes, Wang Can ordered: "Come here, bring a map." ”

A moment later, a soldier walked in with a map, respectfully placed it on Wang Can's desk, and then retreated.

Wang Can stared at the map and said: "Wuyin County is located in the northeast of Jingzhou, with Ye County and Duyang County in the north, Biyang County, Pingshi County and Yiyang County in the south, and Xinye and Bowang in the west. Xinye and Bowang are all near Xiangyang, and when I led my army north, they had already returned to the wind. The rest are Ye County, Duyang County, Yiyang County and other places, and these county orders are still waiting, so they must all be replaced and let the civilian officials of our army serve as them. ”

Zhang Liao clenched his fists and said: "Lord, these are the territories of Nanyang County, and it is incumbent on the last general. ”

Zhang Liao is the Taishou of Nanyang County, guarding the northern gateway of Jingzhou, which is very important. Previously, Nanyang County had been separated from Jingzhou separately, resulting in the incompleteness of Nanyang County controlled by Zhang Liao. Liu Biao is dead, Wang Can is in control of Xiangyang, and what he has to do now is to pull all the counties that remain neutral into his hands.

Wang Can said: "Wenyuan, you send people to the counties quickly, convey my orders, let them rush to Wuyin County within two days, if they do not obey, I will lead a large army to attack." ”

"No!!"

Zhang Liao responded with a fist clenched, with a smile on his face.

……

Yiyang County, county hall

On the square of the hall, a young man sits. This person is tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, his eyes are bright, and his expression is cold, giving people a sense of unruliness.

Rao is like this, but the civil and military generals below are humble and respectful, and there is a look of reverence in their eyes.

This person's name is Wei Yan, a native of Yiyang County, who is in charge of the military and political power of Yiyang County. Although Wei Yanming was Liu Biao's subordinate on the face, he did not listen to the announcement, and never went to Xiangyang to meet Liu Biao.

On the left side of the hall, a middle-aged civil official clenched his fists and said, "My lord, the King of Shu sent someone to urge, what should I do?" ”

This man's name was Wei Tai, and he was a fellow of Wei Yan's sect.

After Wei Yan heard this, he raised his head and said loudly: "I will stay in Yiyang County, if Wang Can has the ability to attack and take Yiyang County, it will not be too late for me to return to obedience." If Wang Can can't take Yiyang County, take care of him. ”

Wei Tai continued: "My lord, Wang Can is famous in Kyushu, he is the lord of the world, and Wang Can has taken Xiangyang and is gradually controlling Jingzhou. He recruited the county commanders of each county, and you can also take this opportunity to become a subordinate of the King of Shu! ”

Wei Yan said disdainfully: "I want to make meritorious contributions, so naturally I will go to the battlefield, how can I get rich by surrendering." ”

After a pause, Wei Yan scolded: "Wei Tai, what did you say about Liu Biao at the beginning, saying that he was a famous man who shocked the world, what kind of bullshit 'head of the Eight Horses', or what kind of Liu clan relatives." Lao Tzu listened to your words and met Liu Biao Lao'er, but he turned out to have a gray nose, in front of the county order the size of a sesame seed, are your words reliable? ”

Wei Tai smiled wryly, and there was an embarrassed look on his face.

He looked at the other people in the hall and asked the rest to persuade.

Immediately, another civil official persuaded him: "My lord, Wang Can's reputation is based on one battle after another, and it is different from Liu Biao. Cao Cao and Sun Jian attacked Xiangyang together, but Wang Can retreated, so it seems that Wang Can is not a wasted person. ”

This person's name is Zhang Heng, and he is the chief bookkeeper of Yiyang County.

Wei Yan flicked his sleeves and said, "Don't persuade me, I've made up my mind." ”

Wei Tai and Zhang Heng both knew Wei Yan's bull temper, and after making up their minds, the nine horses couldn't pull back. If they were persuaded by chirp, they would definitely be scolded by Wei Yan. As for the generals under Wei Yan's command, they did not have the slightest fear, but showed an excited look, and prepared to fight again.

Wei Yan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Wei Tai, are the soldiers sent by Wang Can to deliver the message still in the city?" ”

Wei Tai said: "The soldiers are still waiting for an answer at the post house. ”

Wei Yan smiled and said happily: "Okay, it's good to be in the post house." ”

He stood up suddenly, and said unhurriedly: "Wei Tai, Zhang Heng, you stay in the county government to deal with political affairs, don't make trouble for me." The rest of the generals, follow me to see how powerful the soldiers of the Shu army are. ”

Wei Tai was in a hurry, and hurriedly said, "My lord, you can't mess around." ”

He and Wei Yan are distant relatives of the same clan and have a good relationship. Especially Wei Tai is familiar with Wei Yan's character, this guy is unruly in his bones, he is not afraid of heaven and earth, and he is likely to mess around.

Wei Yan said casually: "Don't worry, I won't let him break his stump and arm, just let him bring a word." ”

After finishing speaking, Wei Yan laughed, took a few generals out of the county government, and went straight to the post house where the soldiers of the Shu army were located. The group rode horses and galloped, and arrived at the post house in half an hour.

The petty official of the post house knew Wei Yan and hurried to come to see him.

Wei Yan asked, "Let me ask you, where are the soldiers of the Shu army who sent the message resting?" ”

The petty official in charge of the post house replied: "My lord, the envoy of the King of Shu is resting in the Tianzi room on the second floor. After finishing speaking, the junior official also looked at Wei Yan carefully. At first, he thought that Wei Yan came in a hurry to greet the envoys of the King of Shu, but when he saw Wei Yan's eyes were full of misery, and there was a playful look on his face, he chuckled in his heart.

Obviously, the prefectural magistrate is not here to pick up people.

The officials of the post house are not big, but they know that the name of the Shu army is shocking to the world, and the king of Shu has pacified Xiangyang, which is no longer stoppable. If Wei Yan went to humiliate the envoy sent by the King of Shu, wouldn't it be ......

The official of the post house thought about it, and immediately felt that he was so depressed that he couldn't breathe. Wei Yan didn't care about the thoughts of the post house officials, and walked towards the room where the messenger of the Shu army was.

"Kick! Step on! Step on!!!! ”

Wei Yan strode up, came to the door of the Shu soldiers, looked at the generals beside him, and asked, "Is this here?" ”

Several generals nodded and said, "My lord, this is it." ”

"Bang!"

Wei Yan raised his foot and kicked it, and after the door of the house was hit, it immediately collapsed to the ground. He smiled, strode in with his hands behind his back, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you a person sent by Wang Can?" ”

The soldier was a little startled by the scene before him, but reacted quickly.

Looking up at Wei Yan, the soldier was also a little nervous.

He nodded, and said unhurriedly: "I am the person sent by the King of Shu to deliver the message, who is Your Excellency and what are your intentions?" ”

Wei Yan saw that the soldiers of the Shu army did not lose their temper, glanced at the soldiers with appreciation, and then said confidently; "I am the county commander of Yiyang County, you go back and tell Wang Can that if he has the ability to take Yiyang County, the county commander will willingly submit and be willing to become Wang Can's pawn. If you don't have the ability, do what you should do, and don't bother me. ”

When the soldiers of the Shu army heard this, they looked at Wei Yan in dismay.

The person in front of him is too arrogant!

The soldier took a deep breath, did not argue, and hugged his fists without humility or arrogance: "Don't worry, the county order, I will report to the king of my family word for word what you say, and I hope you can defend Yiyang County." ”

After a pause, the soldier clenched his fists and said, "Farewell!" ”

He turned and walked away, not stopping.

When the soldier turned to leave the inn, he was also a little uneasy. The man in front of him was arrogant and rude, and if he was beaten severely, the soldiers would only suffer in vain.

Wei Yan glanced at the soldier appreciatively and did not stop him.

The soldiers of the Shu army are just messengers, there is no need to stop them, if they affect the soldiers, it will be a bully.
