Chapter 221: Recruiting Wei Yan
Wei Yan didn't say anything more.
Cao Shuo continued: "It's just a small captain in Jingzhou, is General Wei really willing? ”
"I have no experience leading troops." Wei Yan said.
"The battle in Ye County should be regarded as experience." Cao Shuo smiled slightly.
"What do you mean?" Wei Yan frowned and asked coldly.
"It's not interesting." Cao Shuo said: "I just want to remind General Wei that in the battle of Yexian, even if I let you return to Jingzhou, you will have no way out." ”
Wei Yan's face was even worse.
Of course, he knew what the battle in Ye County meant to him.
Although the chief general is Wenpin, as a deputy general, he can't escape the relationship!
"There is no way out of Jingzhou." Cao Shuo asked, "The general didn't think about changing his path?" ”
"What other way can the defeated army have?" Wei Yan said: "If you want to kill, you can kill, why humiliate? ”
"If I want to humiliate the general, I don't need to bring you back to Xudu at all." Cao Shuo said: "On the way back, I only need to ask the soldiers to drag you to death on the back of a horse, and then burn the corpse, that is considered humiliation." ”
"You ......" Cao Shuo's words made Wei Yanyao's face pale.
"Jingzhou doesn't need generals, but the Cao family is willing to use it." Cao Shuo said: "At least I'm willing to use it!" ”
Staring at Cao Shuo, Wei Yan frowned and did not say a word.
"Good birds choose trees to perch, why should the general stick to Jingzhou?" Cao Shuo said: "Your Majesty is in Xudu today, and the Cao family has been fighting for many years, for the sake of the foundation of the Han Dynasty. You and I are the same age, although I can't directly give a general a title, but I can give you the opportunity to make contributions, is the general willing to miss the opportunity for Jingzhou Liu Biao? ”
Wei Yan still didn't say anything.
Cao Shuo continued: "Liu Biao in Jingzhou is cowardly and incompetent, and many things in Jingzhou are decided by the Kuai family and the Cai family. The two big lords control the power, and the general has a foreign surname, how much can he achieve? ”
Although he hadn't said anything yet, Wei Yan looked up at Cao Shuo.
From his eyes, Cao Shuo saw the possibility.
Talking to Wei Yan about this, he was actually gambling.
Bet that Wei Yan, like the stories he had seen before, had an extraordinary pursuit of meritorious fame.
This kind of person only cares about how far he can go, and as for who is in the hands of the Han family, he won't worry about it at all!
Sure enough, Wei Yan was silent for a while, and asked Cao Shuo: "I am the general of the defeated army, and the prince really doesn't dislike it?" ”
"I've heard of the general's bravery." Cao Shuo said: "As long as the general is willing to vote, how dare I dislike it." ”
"I'm just a nobody." Wei Yan smiled bitterly: "Where did you get any name for your son?" Childe better stop making fun of me. ”
"It's not famous today, but what about in the future?" Cao Shuo said: "With the ability of a general, if you walk around on the battlefield, won't you have all the fame and merits?" ”
"I don't care about that." Wei Yan said: "Gongzi has the heart to recruit, I am very moved. Are you afraid that if you spread it, you will be ridiculed by the world, saying that I have betrayed the Lord and sought glory? ”
"Turning your back on the Lord for glory?" Cao Shuo's smile brightened, and he said to Wei Yan: "Someone can make the general have no talent in his life, and there are also people who can make the general soar." Which do generals prefer to follow? ”
"What's more, I'm a young man, and the general is a young and good general." Wei Yan was still hesitating, and Cao Shuo said: "A good general meets a Ming Shuai, what else do you need to worry about?" If you miss today, it will not be easy for the general to find a reliable person to take refuge in! ”
"Childe needless to say!" Wei Yan stood up, saluted him and said, "I understand!" ”
"Please come out of General Wei!" Cao Shuo commanded.
The guards went to open the prison door, and Wei Yan said: "I haven't eaten anything in the past two days, I'm really hungry, I'll eat something first, don't mess with it!" ”
"It's cold, what are you going to eat?" Cao Shuo smiled and said: "The general just come with me, and I'll let someone buy a banquet later, and personally accompany the general to have a few drinks." ”
"Childe courtesy, Wei Yan voted for the right person!" Wei Yan arched his hand and said.
Cao Shuo walked out of the cell with Wei Yan, and Sima Yi, who was waiting outside, was stunned for a moment.
He also thought that Wei Yan would sternly refuse Cao Shuo's solicitation.
I didn't expect Cao Shuo to bring people out so quickly.
"Zhongda, you tell me to go down." Cao Shuo said: "To prepare the banquet, I will have a few drinks with General Wei. ”
Sima Yi responded and ordered the soldiers on the side to prepare a banquet.
Cao Shuo asked Wei Yan again, "Has General Wei ever trained soldiers and horses?" ”
"It's been practiced." Wei Yan said: "In front of Gongzi, I don't dare to say that I can use soldiers. ”
"I took a trick in Yexian's battle." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "The two armies are fighting against each other, and it is not necessarily whose soldiers are more powerful!" ”
"I was deceived by Childe, so bitter." Wei Yan said: "I was arrested for some reason. ”
"It's nothing if the general is captured by me, and if you fight in the future, you can't be fooled by others." Cao Shuo said with a smile.
"I've suffered a loss, how can I have a second time?" Wei Yan said: "Except for Gongzi, few people can think of such a method. ”
"I can't even understand whether the general is praising me or hurting me." Cao Shuo said with a smile.
"Childe's use of soldiers is superb, and I admire the five-body throw." Wei Yan said: "How dare you damage your son? ”
Before Cao Shuo entered the prison, Wei Yan also regarded Cao Shuo as an enemy.
After coming out, the two talked and laughed, like friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.
Not only was Qin Nu confused, but even Sima Yi didn't immediately understand the situation!
recruited Wei Yan, Cao Shuo asked people to set up a banquet, and personally accompanied him to drink some wine.
That night, instead of returning to his lodgings, he remained in the barracks.
In the barracks.
Qin Nu inspected the man's clothes he had just gotten and asked Cao Shuo, "How many people does Gongzi plan to take to Huainan this time?" ”
"What are you doing in Huainan?" Cao Shuo said: "Just intercept Lu Bu's daughter halfway." ”
"I'm afraid it's not enough if there are fewer people." Qin Nu said, "Don't forget that there are assassins eyeing you. ”
"Are the assassins all women?" Cao Shuo asked.
Qin Nu was stunned by his question, and then said: "I'm talking seriously to Childe, what is Childe paying attention to?" ”
"I wonder if the assassin is a man or a woman." Cao Shuo said: "Is there a problem with this? ”
"There are men and women, I don't know how many people they have sent." Qin Nu said angrily.
Cao Shuo is really annoying.
Let him pay attention to the assassin, he can even think of asking if the other party is a man or a woman.
"That's going to be easy." Cao Shuo pinched his chin and said, "If they were all women, I would really not be willing to kill!" Since there are men and women, maybe those women have been used, and it is useless to keep them, so let's kill them. ”
Looking at Cao Shuo, Qin Nu sneered.
"What are you laughing at?" Cao Shuo asked, "Is there something on my face?" ”
"Childe said it so easily." Qin Nu said, "Do you know how terrible the people who come are? Are they so easy to kill? ”
