Chapter 139: Wei Yan VS Cao Hong (3)
Hearing Zhuge Liang talk about Meng Da's repeated disbelief, Hu Ji's eyes lit up, and he arched his hand to Zhuge Liang and said: "The virtue of a gentleman, the virtue of a villain." People like Meng Da forget their interests and only pursue their own best interests, although they cannot be trusted, but they are also the most easily shaken kind of people. ”
"In my humble opinion, he is a person we can win over and turn enemies into friends."
What kind of person Zhuge Liang is, the embodiment of wisdom, Hu Ji understood Zhuge Liang a little, locked his eyebrows and asked: "Weidu is talking about plotting against Meng Da?" ”
Hu Ji nodded: "Yes, Xu Zhi and high-ranking officials are generous, and they are not afraid that Meng Da will not be moved." ”
"Good! Good! Zhuge Liang smiled with his eyebrows, stroked his palms and exclaimed: "Meng Da has supported the army and respected himself, and has guarded the Shangyong counties for more than ten years. In Yi Weidu's opinion, who can help me solve my worries? ”
Hu Ji's eyes were clear, he bowed deeply, and said loudly: "I can't be a middle-aged person, but fortunately, the prime minister will not give up, and I will be promoted to Zhaowu Zhonglang General." Thinking of this, every time I was ashamed, Ji asked to go to Fangling and said that Meng Da offered the city to surrender to repay the prime minister's kindness! ”
"Okay, with Weidu out of the horse, I can rest assured." Zhuge Liang's eyes were gentle, holding hands with Hu Ji, and his eyes were full of deep encouragement for his close friend.
Hu Ji led the mission of the envoy, and was just about to say goodbye, when he saw a majestic man with more than a dozen personal soldiers, striding up from the bottom of the mountain.
fixed his eyes on it, but it was the rear general Fu Kuang, who was in charge of guarding the camp.
"Fu Yuanbi stayed in the camp and was burdened with a heavy responsibility, but at this moment, he came to look for me in person, something big must happen!" Condescendingly, Zhuge Liang also had a bird's-eye view of Fu Kuang going up the mountain, and said worriedly.
"Prime Minister! Good news, Meng Da has surrendered! Meng Da sent an envoy to surrender. Fu Kuang ran along the undulating mountain road, chanting with joy as he ran. It's hard to imagine that a high-powered general can run like a bouncing child.
More than 100 steps on the mountain road, Fu Kuang walked on the ground and ran fast, and soon stood in front of Zhuge Liang out of breath.
didn't have time to adjust his breathing, Fu Kuang said quickly: "Prime Minister, not long after you left the camp, Meng Da's nephew Deng Xian arrived and threatened Meng Da to abandon the darkness and return to the Han family...... And ......" Fu Kuang choked and paused for a while before continuing: "And Deng Xian brought the ribbon of the seal letter given to Meng Da by the Wei State. ”
The ribbon of the seal letter, representing the status and rights of the official, is the most important proof of the person in the official position, and Meng Da presented the ribbon of the seal letter is a self-proof of his intention.
When Hu Ji thought of this, his eyes widened, he suddenly looked at Zhuge Liang, and said quickly: "Prime Minister, it seems that Meng Da really wants to surrender this time!" ”
Zhuge Liang was also so happy that he looked up to the sky and stroked his palms, and sighed deeply: "This day help my Han family." ”
"If you don't take it, you will be blamed!" Zhuge Liang turned around and smiled at Fu Kuang and Hu Ji: "Return to the camp immediately, prepare the gifts of the guests, and solemnly summon Deng Xian." ”
Zheng County, the Han army camp, the Chinese army's big tent, and Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, received Deng Xian with high-standard etiquette.
"The prime minister treats his uncle gently and politely, but Cao Wei is suspicious and wary of his uncle everywhere, and his uncle admires the prime minister's benevolent and gentlemanly style, if the prime minister can ensure that his uncle does not lose the courtesy of the hussar general and the marquis of ten thousand households, the uncle is willing to get rid of Wei Xing and guard the Shen Yi and raise the Yong counties to surrender." Deng Xian was not impressed by the excellent etiquette, but went straight to the point and directly set the conditions for surrender.
As soon as Deng Xian's conditions came out, the Han army's civil and military generals in the tent, such as Auxiliary Kuang, Jufu, and Wu Ban, all changed color in an uproar, and the whispers suddenly rang out.
They thought that Meng Da would definitely put forward some harsh requirements as a condition for surrendering, but they never thought that Meng Da would dare to open his mouth and stretch out his hand to ask for the reward of the hussar general and the marquis of Wanhu!
You must know that such official positions and titles are rare and rare in today's Shu Han!
Only Prime Minister Zhuge Liang was crowned by the Marquis of Wanhu, relying on his immortal merits, even so, it was only the food rent that just reached 10,000 households. Like Wei Yan, a leader in a county marquis, there are only 3,000 households, and even more than 1,000 households in other counties.
And the hussar generals, looking at the generals of the entire imperial court, whether it is the generals Zhao Yun and Fu Kuang in the army, or the newly famous generals Wei Yan and Wang Ping, none of them have the level of official generals, chariot generals and hussar generals!
Compared with the surprise of the civil and military forces, Zhuge Liang was much calmer, and even the corners of his mouth still had a light smile on his lips. "Yes."
Just two words, without redundancy and prevarication, Zhuge Liang bit very lightly, paused and said: "Liang Bucai, add as the prime minister of the Han family, record Shangshushi, have the right to worship the seal, I am the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, worship Mencius (Meng Da) as the general of the Han Hussars, the Marquis of Xicheng, and lead the new city too much!" ”
"Order Yousi not to slack off, and immediately make the hussar general's seal."
Zhuge Liang finished speaking solemnly, and then turned sideways to Deng Xian and said: "I am the same generation as Mencius, and I will call you a virtuous nephew, and worship the virtuous nephew as the general of Dangkou and the marquis of Fengyun Xiting." What does the virtuous nephew think? ”
Deng Xian was overjoyed when he heard this, rubbed his hands embarrassedly, got up and thanked him: "The public is worthy of being the prime minister of the world, and the lower officials have thanked the prime minister!" ”
"Hahaha!" Zhuge Liang laughed and waved his hand, "The virtuous nephew is polite." He also pointed to Hu Ji, who was sitting in a precarious position, and said to Deng Xian: "Hu Ji Hu Weidu, my heart, I will use Weidu as a messenger to go to Fangling to confer the seal of Mencius Hussar General in public." ”
"In this way, then there is a lot of work." Deng Xian bent down and bowed his hand to Hu Ji again, smiling with a look of affection.
*******************************
Zuo Fengyi, Heyang, and 10,000 elite Han troops have assembled outside the city to standby.
After the hour, the beacon tower in the southeast and northeast directions almost simultaneously rose three eye-catching black smoke, and the Han army marquis who was in charge of watching the smoke immediately reported loudly to Wei Yanyu: "General Qiyu, there is wolf smoke rising in the southeast and northeast, and the Wei army has begun to cross the river at the same time in Pusaka and Pishi, and there are three wolf smoke in Pusaka, and there are more than 10,000 Wei troops crossing the river!" ”
"Haha!" Wei Yan stroked his beard and laughed: "As Shizai said, the Pi clan is a suspicious soldier, and Pu Han is the real target of the Wei army!" ”
After laughing, Wei Yan immediately turned around and instructed Sima Deng Ai of the Protector Department: "Shizai, give an order to the whole army, and rush to the aid of Linjin at the speed of a rapid march!" ”
"Whoa!" Deng Ai suddenly responded, and then turned his head and shouted: "The prince has an order, gallop to the aid of Linjin at the speed of a rapid march!" ”
The military orders were issued step by step, and the Han army suddenly sounded the passionate marching war drums, and in the drumbeat of the drums, a group of Han army armor soldiers with armor and armor began to turn around, and then lined up with ten columns to the southeast direction, and the official road rammed by loess soon raised billowing smoke and dust, soaring into the sky.
Linjin! Linjin!
