Chapter 18: Undercurrents are surging
Nanyang, Wancheng.
Since Wei Qi learned that Lu Bu wanted to marry Ye Zhao, he rushed all the way from Yin County to Wancheng to argue with Lu Bu, but unfortunately, Cao Ang was dead, and Luo Yan blew some pillow wind from time to time, Lu Bu is now determined to form an alliance with Ye Zhao, and then join forces to attack Cao Cao.
Wei Qi's plea was naturally rejected.
"I know that Boru and the prime minister have a slight misunderstanding, but now that the general trend has come to this, Boru doesn't need to say it anymore." Lu Bu waved his hand a little irritably.
Wei Qi couldn't wait to slap Lu Bu to death, a little misunderstanding from God, the Wei family was all served by Ye Zhao, this is an understatement of two misunderstandings that can be resolved?
"General!" Wei Qi said in a hoarse voice: "Come forward to say that it is not for the revenge of my Wei family, but for the general, if you form an alliance with Ye Zhao at this time, then Nanyang will no longer be a general, and sooner or later it will be annexed by Ye Zhao!" ”
"Enough!" Lu Bu patted the handrail and stood up, his eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he looked at Wei Qi and said: "Since you defected to me, in the name of resisting the prime minister, you have secretly embezzled how much military rations to restore your Wei family, do you really not know?" At this time, you try your best to prevent this, I am afraid that I am a fake, so it is true that you will not be deducted from your salary! ”
Wei Qi's body shook and looked at Lu Bu incredulously.
"If people don't know unless they do it, I won't pursue this matter, but the alliance with the prime minister is a foregone conclusion, so don't say more." Lu Bu waved his hand and said: "Lingqi and Shizi's marriage is imminent, you are tired all the way, go down to rest first, you have to go back, and wait until you finish drinking the wedding wine before leaving." ”
Wei Qi looked at Lu Bu, took a deep breath, bowed, and turned to leave.
Out of Lu Bu's General's Mansion, Wei Qi glanced back, shook his head and laughed.
Indeed, he is greedy for ink, after all, the Wei family has encountered a great disaster, and if it wants to rise again, it is naturally inseparable from money, and Wei Qi himself is not good at business, and with his identity, he does not disdain to do this kind of thing, so he can only find a way to do it on military rations.
But how much he has done for Lu Bu over the years, the population of the four cities that Lu Bu gave him at the beginning was not even enough for a thousand households, it was he who had worked hard over the years, and only a little bit of a lot of people were collected from the land of Jingxiang, and now the four cities combined, with a population of more than 10,000 households, it seems that it is still not much, but in fact, it has more than tripled compared to when he took over, so many merits, although he has embezzled, but he has only misappropriated military supplies within the allowable range, and has not made the army's combat effectiveness worse, And the taxes paid by the four counties every year have increased by as much as two times compared with previous years, which is all the credit of his Wei Qi, and now Lu Bu does not talk about meritorious deeds, but only about sins, which really makes Wei Qi feel a little cold.
What's more, he chose to defect to Lu Bu at the beginning, in order to find Ye Zhao for revenge, and Lu Bu, as a prince who is fully bordered by Ye Zhao and constantly conflicts, is naturally the number one choice for the revenge-hungry guard.
But now that Lu Bu wants to form an alliance with Ye Zhao, not to mention what the generals under his account think, Wei Qi is naturally the first to refuse.
"Mr. Wei." Wei Qi was about to leave, but saw a person walk out of the general's mansion and stopped Wei Qi.
Wei Qian turned his head, looked at the person who came, frowned slightly, and said, "General Gao is called to stay below, what's the matter?" ”
The person who comes, it is Gao Sheng, for this person, Wei Qi has no good feelings, and he has little ability, but with his flattery, he is like a fish in water under Lu Bu, which makes Wei Qi very unaccustomed.
"This is not the place to speak, I wonder if Mr. Wei can move away?" Gao Sheng glanced around sneaky, and said in a low voice: "The lord wants to marry Ye Zhao, and I am as dissatisfied as my husband, but the princess has already made up her mind, and it is difficult to convince the lord to speak lightly in the lower position." ”
Wei Qi didn't really want to deal with Gao Sheng, but when he heard this, his eyes lit up, he looked at Gao Sheng, and nodded silently.
Under the leadership of Gao Sheng, the two went straight to Gao Sheng's mansion, Gao Sheng, as Lu Bu's favorite minister, has a large manor in Wancheng, covering an extremely wide area, Gao Sheng took Wei Qi to a small courtyard, and ordered his henchmen to guard at the gate of the courtyard, and no one was allowed to enter.
"General Gao, what do you mean by this?" Wei Qi looked at Gao Shengdao.
"Don't hide it, I also have some grudges with Ye Zhao, if he is in charge of Nanyang in the future, I am afraid that there will be no way to live." Gao Sheng looked at Wei Qi and said solemnly.
"So what? Since General Lu has already made up his mind, even if you and I are dissatisfied, what is the use? Wei Qi narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Gao Shengdao.
"So, I'm going to talk to Mr. next." Gao Sheng said with a smile: "Although Lu Bu is in charge of Nanyang and Runan, but over the years, he has been mean and unkind, many generals have already complained in their hearts, if Mr. Boru is willing, he is willing to serve Mr. as the main and help Mr. to set things right and take charge of Nanyang!" ”
Wei Qi's eyes shrank, looked at Wei Qi, didn't speak, and shook his head for a long time before he shook his head and said, "With only you and me, I'm afraid it will be difficult to win." ”
When Gao Sheng heard this, he smiled slightly: "Mr. Over the years, he has repeatedly attacked the Zhuyang Tun Army, but he has also used this to recruit troops and buy horses, as far as I know, Mr. is now under his command, not to mention that there are 10,000 elite soldiers." ”
Wei Qi looked at Gao Sheng, narrowed his eyes and said, "But there are more than 100,000 people under Lu Bu's command. ”
Now Lu Bu not only occupies Nanyang, but also annexes several counties in Runan and Yingchuan, only the two counties of Runan and Nanyang are worth the land of a state, plus the surrender of Yuan Shao's old department, there are a lot of soldiers and horses.
"What if you add Cao Gong's secret support?" Gao Sheng's way of being a bamboo in his chest.
"You ......" Wei Qi looked at Gao Sheng, shook his head and sighed: "General Gao is really impressive." ”
"If it weren't for the betrayal, if it weren't for Lu Bu's disobedience, he would never accept Cao Gong's solicitation." Gao Sheng looked at Wei Qi and said: "It's not a secret, yesterday Chen Lin, a strategist under the command of Cao Gong, came to see him secretly, and he is willing to support people of insight to overthrow Lu Bu's tyranny and return peace to Nanyang!" ”
Wei Qi shook his head after thinking for a moment when he heard this: "Although this is the case, Cao Cao can only be a foreign aid, but he cannot rely on it. ”
Cao Cao is thinking, Wei Qi naturally knows, but Wei Qi is not promoted, he knows better that Cao Cao is now, it is impossible to divide his troops, and even if he can, Wei Qi will refuse, because if he accepts Cao Cao's assistance, he is just a puppet.
After what happened to Lu Bu, Wei Qi no longer wanted to be a thug for others, he wanted to be his own master, so Cao Cao could form an alliance, but Cao Cao couldn't send troops.
"That ......" Gao Sheng frowned slightly when he heard this, and looked at Wei Qi, although he was in contact with Cao Cao, he was a straw bag, and he couldn't think of Wei Qi so deeply.
"First of all, borrow a few assassins from Cao Gong." Wei Qi pondered: "This seizure of power, we can't let Nanyang have civil strife, otherwise, don't say Ye Zhao, Cao Cao, and Liu Biao will not let go of such a good opportunity, so, you and I can only make trouble, and we can only assassinate Lu Bu at the wedding banquet, and Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Gao Shun are in charge of the defense of Nanyang, and they may be secretly convinced?" ”
"Wei Xu is Lu Bu's wife and brother, and it is difficult to convince." Gao Sheng shook his head and said, "As for Gao Shun, this person, Mr. Boru, don't have to think about it, even if Wei Xu will oppose Lu Bu, he won't." ”
Wei Qi heard this, a little regretful, although all the generals under Lu Bu can be regarded as brave, and leading troops is also good, but to say that Wei Qi can see the most, I am afraid there is only one Gao Shun, this person is not only good at training, but also leading troops to fight is also quite brave, almost can be said to be invincible.
"Song Xian is quite dissatisfied with Lu Bu, over the years, Lu Bu has rewarded the generals, Song Xian is the least, but in terms of merit, he is no worse than others." Gao Sheng groaned.
Don't look at Gao Sheng's writing, and there are not many martial arts, but when it comes to figuring out people's thoughts, Gao Sheng's experience after so many years.
"Since the two of them can't be used by me, then transfer these two away!" Wei Qi said in a deep voice: "Is there a way?" ”
"If I can let Hou succeed or fail once, I can try to transfer Gao Shun and Wei Xu to Xinye." Gao Sheng's eyes lit up.
"This is not difficult, I have some friendship with the Cai family in Jingzhou, or I can let him help me." Wei Qi nodded and said, "But how sure are you?" ”
"Eighty percent!" Gao Sheng thought for a while and said, "If it's just these two people, I'm ten percent sure that I can persuade Lu Bu to transfer one of them." ”
"Then choose Gao Shun!" Wei Qi said in a deep voice.
"But ......" Gao Sheng looked at Wei Qi and said with some hesitation: "Then Mr. Lu Bu Zhiyong should know that even if Cao Gong is sent here at this moment, I am afraid it will be difficult to kill him." ”
"I have my own way!" Wei Qi said coldly.
For Lu Bu, he has helped him govern the place all these years, and he has done his best to be kind and righteous back then, and since Lu Bu insists on forming an alliance with Ye Zhao today, he can only ask him to die!
"When to do it?" Gao Sheng frowned.
"It's about timing! It's hard to say now. Wei Qi shook his head and said, now the two have just agreed, as for how to do it, it has to be planned carefully.
