Chapter 134: A Choice in Desire
Hearing Deng Xian and Li Fu's urgent dissuasion, Meng Da stopped the momentum of the split, put his sword back into the sheath, and said puzzledly: "This is the edict of Cao Rong, the lord of Wei, since this general is ready to return to Shu, he must cut off relations with Cao Wei, and an edict like this must not be kept." Why do you both say no? ”
"Uncle." Deng Xian arched his hand and explained to Meng Da: "Although your return to Shu is a righteous move, after all, you have been committed to Shi Wei, and there are losses in the festival, and it is difficult to ensure that no one in the Shu Kingdom will blame your uncle for this." But with this edict, my uncle will be able to make great contributions to Western Shu, and when you return to Shu with good meritorious service, no one will dare to have any complaints. ”
"Oh?" Meng Da stroked the beard on his chin, thought for a moment and then reacted, and asked Deng Xian: "You mean, uncle's merits have a lot to do with this edict?" ”
"Uncle is wise!" Deng Xianxian sent a small sycophant, and then said: "Cao Rong ordered his uncle to attack Hanzhong, if his uncle was ordered to send troops, he would inevitably pass through Weixing County, Wei Xing was too loyal to Shen Yi Cao Wei and had a gap with his uncle, but the army went out to fight is a state affair, and Shen Yi has no reason to refuse to go out of the city to sacrifice the army, provide grain and grass, and take advantage ......of his unpreparedness when Shen Yi goes out of the city to sacrifice the army."
As he spoke, a hint of fierceness flashed in Deng Xian's eyes, and his right hand made a decapitation posture with his right hand.
"Kill him!" Meng Da instantly understood, his eyes also turned cold, and the words "kill him" blurted out.
"Not bad! At that time, my uncle took advantage of the situation to annex his people, and brought the land of the two counties and tens of thousands of people to Shun Shu, such a merit, my uncle was worshiped as a hussar general and a marquis of ten thousand households! Deng Xian sneered, and the despicable methods were very common in his mouth.
Hussar general, gold seal purple ribbon, the same as the three dukes. Among the generals, he is only under the general, and he is in the same column as the general of the chariot and cavalry and the general of Wei, which can be said to be above 10,000 people under one person, and he is extraordinary!
As for the marquis of ten thousand households, it is even more unbelievable, with one or several counties as a fiefdom, build a marquis country, place the prime minister, the family, and the concubine, pass it on to the descendants, and rest with the country.
Thinking about it, Meng Da's eyes were red, and his heart was fluttering with excitement.
You must know that he has been guarding the border for many years in Wei Town, and his official position is only a miscellaneous general, and his title is even more pitiful. In other words, it is said that it is a dignified prince and a top nobleman, but in fact, there is not even a real fief.
"Good!" Meng Da patted Deng Xian on the shoulder, the appreciation in his eyes became stronger and stronger, this nephew is really a good nephew. Meng Da was overjoyed in his heart, and couldn't help but smile and said: "If your uncle is a hussar general, you should be the general of Zhendong, the history of the state assassin or the chief guard of a county!" ”
"Nephew thanked uncle!" Deng Xian was also smiling and happy, as if the purple robe was added, and the high-ranking officials, glory and wealth were already within reach.
When Meng Da wanted to smash the edict and wanted to throw himself into Shu, Li Fu wanted to give advice, but he never had a chance to speak, looking at the hall at the moment, the uncle and nephew who was very happy and daydreaming, Li Fu couldn't help frowning, Lord Wei treated General Meng Da well, how could the general be ungrateful!
Li Lingzhi is dizzy, and he can't see the truth clearly, no, I must advise the general.
Thinking about it, with a bang, Li Fu knelt on one knee, clenched his fists and said to Meng Da: "General, you can't, General!" ”
Suddenly, Li Fu's trouble made Meng Da a little confused, his eyebrows twisted, and he asked in a deep voice: "Li Fu, what are you doing?" ”
Li Fu raised his hand and raised his fist, and said seriously: "Liu Bei uses the general as a general, like a guinea dog, so that Liu Feng is coerced, and he doesn't really trust the general." The general abandoned Shu into Wei, and the first emperor regarded the general as a sibling, worshiped the Taishou, sealed the liehou, and added scattered cavalry to serve the general, and the general was not thin. How could a general be ungrateful, prepare for glory, and use betrayal to repay the kindness of the first emperor? ”
"General, it is really not a human act to betray the enemy and seek glory in the face of incidents!" Li Fu knelt on one knee, admonished hard, and finally bowed deeply to the ground, "This is the way to take trouble, please also ask the general to learn from it!" ”
Li Fu's words were reasonable, responsible, and loyal. But it fell in Meng Da's ears, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and every word was heart-wrenching, and Li Fu's words were right in his sore spot.
Meng Da's face was pale, his chest was undulating, and he stared at Li Fu unkindly. He never expected that the subordinate general who he was leaning on as his arm would stand up and turn his elbow outward at this time to speak for Cao Wei.
Deng Xian saw that his uncle's face was ugly, and he was on the verge of anger, so he immediately raised his voice and scolded Li Fu: "Li Fu, you are presumptuous!" The matter of the general's return to Shu has been decided, how can you let you put your beak! ”
"General, the last general is loyal, is he really thinking about you......" Li Fu raised his face to Meng Da and argued.
"Enough!" Meng Da interrupted Li Fu's defense with a loud shout. Think about me, keep thinking about me, since it is for General Ben, you shouldn't dissuade it more, can't Li Fu see it? The Northern Expedition of Shu was successful, and the national strength was stronger day by day, and it was very likely to dominate the world.
Meng Da didn't believe it, and Li Fu couldn't understand it.
"I have made up my mind on this matter, and I will say it again!" Meng Da used his identity and status to oppress people, so that Li Fu would not have a chance to speak again. After a long while, he slowed down his tone and said to Li Fu: "Stand down, go back to the house and reflect." ”
Li Fu was full of helplessness and grievances, and was loyal to his advice, but he had no chance to speak. Indignant in his heart, Li Fu tilted his head, stiffened his body and saluted Meng Da with a fist, and then turned around and retreated without saying a word.
After the subordinate Li Fu retreated, Meng Da pressed the sword on his waist, untied the seal ribbon of General Jianwu and Pingyang Pavilion Marquis hanging from his belt, and bent down to carefully take out the Xincheng Taishou seal letter from the sandalwood box on several cases.
handed the token representing his official title and title to his nephew Deng Xian, and whispered to him: "This is the seal ribbon given by Cao Wei to his uncle, you take them to the north immediately, go to Chang'an to meet Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, and say that your uncle is obedient." And asked Prime Minister Zhuge to give the official seal of Shu, and secondly, my uncle was ready to earn and kill Shen Yi, and asked the prime minister to respond as soon as possible. ”
Deng Xian knelt on one knee, solemnly took Meng Da's seal letter, took off his robe to wrap it, and promised with his chin: "Without further ado, my nephew will leave, and I hope that my uncle and aunt will take care!" ”
"Hmm." Meng Da nodded, and asked again: "Go early and return early, you and my uncle's Feihuang Tengda are here to come." ”
