Chapter 545: Persuasion to surrender to Dian Wei
Dian Wei came to the mausoleum in the western suburbs, and sure enough, he found that there were heavy guards there, Dian Wei reported his name at the door, and said that he wanted to worship the late master Cao Cao.
The soldier guarding the door was taken aback when he heard that the other party actually said that it was the general Dian Wei who had disappeared for seven years, and it happened that the soldier had seen Dian Wei before as Cao Cao's personal soldier, and he took a closer look and found that it was indeed Dian Wei, and he was immediately excited, and hurriedly saluted Dian Wei, but for the matter of worship, the personal soldier suddenly showed a helpless look, and proposed that he must first obtain the consent of the lord Cao Pi before he could let Dian Wei enter, Dian Wei thought about it, and felt that this was also human nature, so he agreed.
It happened that Cao Pi was in the cemetery at that time, and the soldier quickly found Cao Pi and said to him: "Lord, there is a big man outside the cemetery, claiming to be the general Dian Wei who has disappeared for seven years, the villain used to work under the old lord's account, and he has seen this person more than once, and he has only been carefully identified, and sure enough, it is the person, the man made a request, to worship the old lord, the villain has the courage to ask here, does the lord agree to let him in?" ”
"What? Dian Wei? Is it really him? Cao Pi listened to the words of the pro-soldier, and was immediately overjoyed, and asked in disbelief.
"Exactly, the villain dares to make sure that that person is indeed General Dian." Seeing Cao Pi's inquiry, the pro-soldier hurriedly replied.
"This is really good, Dian Wei is back, our army has another general, and now when our army is employing people, it is natural to pay attention to such talents, not to mention that Dian Wei is a general under his father, and he is loyal to his father, so I decided to learn from the allusion of my father to welcome Xu Yu, and go out to greet him in person, you all go with me, so as to show our attention and courtesy to him."
When Cao Pi heard that it was indeed Dian Wei who had returned, he was naturally overjoyed in his heart, and personally led all the civil and military forces to the gate.
When he came to the door, Cao Pi really saw a tower-like man standing there, and he was very appreciative of it, and hurriedly said, "It's General Dian Wei who came?" ”
"Exactly, the last general has seen the Duke of Chu." Dian Wei didn't expect Cao Pi to come in person, knowing that there was no good thing, and secretly saying that it was not good in his heart, but he still saluted Cao Pi.
Cao Pi couldn't help but feel slightly unhappy when he heard that the other party only called him "Duke of Chu" instead of "Lord Lord", but he hid his emotions and said with a smile: "I heard in the early years that General Dian was killed in the Battle of Nanyang, I really didn't expect the rumors to be untrue, the general has always been captured by Liu He, and he didn't escape until today, congratulations to the general for getting out of the net and returning to the court, this is really the luck of the court, General Dian is so loyal and unyielding, and can be comparable to the mighty and unyielding Su Wu back then, I will play the court in this matter, Reward the general, hehe, since the defeat of the general, my father and son have never given the name of General Huwei to others, and now this position has a master, not to mention Pi, even if the father has a spirit in the sky, he will definitely feel gratified. Of course, please rest assured that even if it is your general's position, it is only temporary, and I believe that it will not be long before your position will rise again with your meritorious service, general. ”
Cao Pi's meaning is actually obvious, he wants Dian Wei to continue to work for him, and all the civil and military officers also looked at Dian Wei with an expectant face, hoping that Dian Wei would continue to serve.
However, Dian Wei arched his hand and said: "Thank you Chu Gong for your love, it's just that Wei has a last resort and can't serve Chu Gong, please forgive me." ”
"What ???"
Hearing Dian Wei's words, all the people, including Cao Pi, were stunned, and looked at Dian Wei with disbelief on their faces.
At this time, I saw Jiang Gan smile and said: "It seems that General Dian remembered the old lord's past affection and wanted to guard the system for the old lord, so he couldn't serve the lord for the time being, but General Dian, you think about it, the old lord and the lord are father and son, and now my Dachu is in turmoil, it is the time to employ people, and the general is the best form of loyalty to the lord, we are all out of this idea, so I am also loyal to the lord, and the old lord is the same." ”
"Yes, yes, yes."
"Jiang Gong is right."
"We all have this intention, so don't shirk it, General Dian."
After listening to Jiang Gan's words, all of them stepped forward to persuade them.
However, Dian Wei sighed: "Thank you for your kindness, Duke Chu is enthusiastic, but Wei did not flee back by himself, but was released back by Duke Qin, Wei heard the news of the death of the lord, his heart was very sad, so he implored Duke Qin, can allow Wei to return to Xuzhou to worship the lord, if Duke Qin can meet Wei's wish, willing to be loyal to Duke Qin, now Duke Qin will put Wei back, Wei can not be untrustworthy, therefore, Wei has promised this body to Duke Qin, can no longer serve Duke Chu, and please forgive Duke Chu. ”
As soon as Dian Wei said this, everyone fell silent, because it was too unexpected for them.
After a while, I saw Jiang Gan and said with a smile: "That is just General Dian's expedient measure in order to be able to return to Xuzhou, and the lord believes in General Dian's loyalty to the lord, so he will definitely not take care of the past, so General Dian doesn't have to feel guilty." ”
Dian Wei said: "How can a manly man not be trustworthy? Since Duke Qin let me go back to Xuzhou, I naturally want to return to Chang'an to serve Duke Qin, doesn't Mr. think this matter should not? ”
Jiang Gan's old face turned red, and then he said: "We naturally have to be honest with our own people, but who is Gong Qin?" Although this person is nominally a member of the Han family, he is actually a Han thief, and he has so much power in his hands, but he does not worship the Son of Heaven and does not listen to the dispatch of the imperial court. Now that the general has returned to the imperial court, this is a blessing, why bother to return? In fact, the Duke of Qin can be used as an excuse to be requisitioned by the imperial court in order to refuse to return to Chang'an, after all, the Duke of Qin is a member of the Han clan on the surface, if you say so, then although he is dissatisfied, there is no way. ”
"Yes, yes, but Duke Qin's unsubservient heart has been revealed, and there is no need to serve him." The surrounding civil and military officials all echoed Jiang Gan and persuaded Dian Wei.
However, Dian Wei shook his head and said firmly: "Duke Qin is not a national thief, if you don't believe it, you can go to Chang'an, or any piece of land under Duke Qin's rule, and the people there have a word of dissatisfaction with Duke Qin?" Especially Chang'an, now it has become the richest place in the world, quite a prosperous scene, even if the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, it is estimated that Chang'an will not be able to achieve such prosperity, such an eloquent person to run my Han family, it is really the blessing of all the people in the world, besides, Wei has already said that since he has promised the Duke of Qin before, he must not lose his words, and please forgive me and the Duke of Chu. ”
After Dian Wei said this, everyone criticized it with nonsense, but Cao Pi waved his hand and said: "General Dian has this righteous act, the princes can't force it, General Dian, you go to worship your father first, and other things can be discussed later." ”
