Chapter 34 The Second Horse
Luoyang Zhuge Liang's big tent
It was said that Zhuge Liang fainted on the ground, and everyone was shocked and hurriedly woke up. Zhuge Liang's old illness relapsed and he was bedridden, so everyone had to wait in front of the sickbed.
After a while, Zhuge Liang woke up, turned his head and asked coldly, "Where is Wei Yan?" ”
Seeing that the situation was not good, the general Fei Yi hurriedly said: "The governor of the capital knows that he is guilty, and he has tied his body back, and he is kneeling outside the tent at this moment to wait for the crime. ”
"Spread Wei Yan," Zhuge Liang said weakly.
"The prime minister has an order, pass on the governor Wei Yan!"
I saw Wei Yan binding himself, although his face was covered with blood, he still walked into the tent calmly, fell to his knees with a thud, and said nothing.
Zhuge Liang suppressed the anger in his heart and asked solemnly: "Wei Yan, I have repeatedly told you to stick to the Tiger Prison Pass, and Guan Xing has also repeatedly advised you, why do you insist on going your own way and prefer to fight?" ”
Wei Yan raised his head and said expressionlessly, "I was careless for a while, and I fell for the enemy's tricks. ”
Zhuge Liang was furious when he heard this, and scolded: "What nonsense! Are you careless, you are greedy for fame! Cao Rui first showed people to be weak, and then used himself as bait, ordinary people didn't dare to chase it, but you Wei Yan, you were bold, and dared to take this greedy work! Wei Jun is using this to lure you into taking the bait! ”
Wei Yan was shocked when he heard this, but he still straightened his neck and said without changing his face: "I, Wei Yan, am not as good as others, and it will affect the three armies. If the prime minister wants to kill or chop, let it be dealt with! ”
Zhuge Liang was very sentimental in his heart, how similar this situation and this scene were. 6 years ago, in this camp, Ma Tan, who treated him like a parent, knelt here and wept bitterly, and in order to strictly enforce military discipline, he had to behead Ma Tan with tears. In the past 6 years, I have also regretted that if Ma Jian was still here, he would not have worked so hard, right? Is today's scene really going to recreate the way it was back then?
The general Fei Yi took the lead in kneeling down and begging: "Prime Minister, the Metropolitan Governor is not an ordinary general, he is a pillar of the country." I beg the prime minister to spare him for the sake of the outstanding merits of the Metropolitan Governor, and let him make meritorious service for his crimes! ”
Zhuge Liang said unrelentingly: "Since ancient times, the Tiger Pass is the lifeblood of our army, Wei Yan is greedy for merit, resulting in the loss of the city, the death of the general, and the three armies are in danger. If you don't punish it severely, what kind of strict military discipline will you take? How can you be worthy of the more than 10,000 soldiers who died in vain? ”
Jiang Wei saw that the matter was urgent, and he hurriedly knelt down and pleaded: "Although the Metropolitan Governor is guilty, he has defeated the enemy army to attack the city in the past, and after the plan, he is still in danger, surrounded by enemy troops several times his own, he still rescued the seriously injured General Guan Suo, and led five or six thousand soldiers to fight out of the siege and avoid the annihilation of the whole army." Now that the Tiger Prison has been lost, Luoyang is in danger, it is the time to employ people, please spare the prime minister for the time being, and let him break the enemy in front of the battle and make meritorious contributions! ”
Zhuge Liang sighed, closed his eyes tightly, and turned his head away without saying a word.
The generals hurriedly knelt down one by one to plead, and even Yang Yi saw the situation, although he was reluctant, he knelt down to second.
Zhuge Liang still ignored it.
Seeing that it was in a stalemate, Jiang Wei knew that although Zhuge Liang couldn't bear it, he was afraid that he would make up his mind for the sake of military discipline. Jiang Weisi thought about it, and suddenly had an idea, pulled the corner of the clothes of Wu Yiyi, the general of the chariot and the current uncle, made a look, and whispered: "Your Majesty ......"
Wu Yi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "The Metropolitan Governor is a major general of the country, and now he is guilty and should be handed over to His Majesty for punishment." ”
Zhuge Liang was shocked in his heart, half a ring, slowly turned his head, looked at Wu Yi, and then sighed: "General Che Cai is reasonable, Wei Yan is an important minister of the state, I have no right to deal with it, I should hand it over to Your Majesty, and I will lead the ministers to impeach him for his crimes." After saying that, he turned his head to look at Wei Yan again, and said sharply: "Whether Wei Yan is guilty of capital crime is decided by His Majesty, but it is difficult to escape the crime of living. ”
Wei Yan looked at Zhuge Liang in surprise, and suddenly kowtowed his head violently, and only got up halfway to the ground. Just as the warrior escorted Wei Yan to retreat, Wei Yan suddenly turned around and knelt down again, and said loudly: "Prime Minister Ende, I, Wei Yan, am unforgettable. I am afraid that I will no longer be able to serve the country, but I still have a strategy, don't vomit or be unhappy, please ask the prime minister for permission! ”
Everyone was puzzled, and Zhuge Liang sighed: "Okay, you say." ”
Wei Yan got up and said confidently: "I was on the way back to Luoyang, and after thinking about it, I knew that once the Tiger Prison Pass was lost, the Wei army would be able to attack Luoyang City within a few days. And our army in Luoyang has not yet been gathered, and I am afraid that it is not an opponent. The only way to do this now is to hold back the Wei army so that it cannot advance eastward. I am willing to lead 10,000 elite soldiers, climb over the lofty mountains, take the road out of the Yuyuan Pass, and within five days, I can go to Xuchang, the capital of Wei. When the Wei army heard that I was suddenly coming, they must have panicked, and I took advantage of the situation to attack urgently, even if I couldn't take it, Cao Rui was worried about the safety of the rear and would have hesitated to go east to Luoyang. When the prime minister's army is ready, I will attack the Wei army from west to east with the prime minister on both sides, and the big thing can be decided! ”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, thinking that Wei Yantai didn't know what to do, and he came to anger Zhuge Liang at this moment. In the past, the plan of Wei Yan Meridian Valley has been recognized as risky by Zhuge Liang, and today's plan of Yuyuan Pass is simply a copy. The previous Tiger Prison had just been tricked because of his bold adventure, and now he doesn't want to repent and wants to take risks again. Only Jiang Wei was thoughtful and didn't say a word.
Sure enough, Zhuge Liang stared at Wei Yan for a long time, and said slowly: "You don't have to worry about these things. Come on, bring it down! ”
Wei Yan shook his head with a wry smile when he heard this, and he was unwilling to be escorted down by the samurai.
Wei Yan was sentenced to 30 canes in front of the army and imprisoned in the army. This is a later story, and it will be up to Zhuge Liang to deal with the crisis.
