Chapter Eighty-One: The Dormant Male
Thank you for your tip. In addition, Yanzi I'm about to set off for my hometown for the New Year, and the journey is about thirty hours, so I can only update one chapter today, and tomorrow's update may have to wait until after I get home in the evening, so please forgive me.
―――
Wei Wenchang!
This name poured into Liu Feng's ears like a thunderbolt, making his nerves twitch slightly.
In fact, he didn't know Wei Yan's name, he also guessed that Wei Yan at this time should be active near the four southern counties, but he couldn't confirm that the history he knew about Wei Yan was just a fiction of a novel, or a real existence.
Now, when Ma Yan said Wei Yan's name, Liu Feng was surprised, and his face showed a bit of surprise.
Ma Yan saw that Liu Feng's expression seemed to be very happy, so he said: "Eldest prince, although this Wei Yan is a nobody, we can't take it lightly." ”
"Then what is so special about this Wei Yan that it makes you feel jealous." Liu Feng restrained his expression of surprise and asked pretending to be curious.
"I inquired, this Wei Yan is not a native of Jingzhou, a few years ago he came to Liu Jingsheng with a cadre of songs, as if because he looked down on Liu Jingsheng, he simply crossed the Yangtze River in the south, settled in the northern area of Linxiang, and started a business similar to a local tyrant."
Ma Yan's words made Liu Feng more and more interested, and he couldn't help but look at him with a strange light: "Linxiang is the seat of Changsha County, how can the Taishou at that time tolerate such an external force suddenly under his nose?" ”
Ma Yan smiled and said: "As the eldest prince said, the former Taishou did not sit idly by, and he also wanted to solve this foreign force several times, but this Wei Yan is strong in martial arts, and he has two hundred brothers under him, all of whom are elite, although the number is small, but after a few times, he can't help him." ”
"Hehe, what kind of character is Wei Yan, how can you be a mere mayor and a shou. Liu Feng smiled secretly in his heart.
What's even more special is that this Wei Yan only took his two hundred brothers to farm, self-sufficient, and instead of bullying the local people, he sometimes helped the neighbors deal with the bandits who came to harass him. In this way, over time, the predecessor Taishou saw that this Wei Yan was indeed no threat, so he didn't take him seriously anymore. ”
I see, it really deserves to be Wei Yan, and it is different when I hear it.
Liu Feng was already brewing an idea in his heart, but he said: "Listening to you say this, this Wei Yan is indeed a little special, but these alone don't seem to be enough to treat him as a nail that is difficult to pull." ”
Ma Tan's expression became serious: "The eldest prince should know that after the victory of Chibi before, the Wu people had divided a team of 1,000 soldiers and horses, and took the opportunity to seize Xiajun, Hanchang and Luoxian. ”
The Wu army that invaded the south was a professional elite soldier, not only came with the aftermath of the great victory of Chibi, but also had an advantage in numbers, and in such a situation, it was repelled by Wei Yan and his mere 200 men.
A wizard is indeed a genius, even if he is dormant in the wilderness, it is difficult to suppress his brilliance.
Liu Feng had already made up his mind in his heart, so he said: "In this way, this Wei Yan is indeed a rare general, and it is a pity that such a good talent is hidden in the wilderness, since this is the case, then I will take him under my command." ”
Ma Tan didn't expect Liu Feng to suddenly have this thought, and said in surprise: "It is naturally the best policy to be able to surrender Wei Yan, but I heard that this person's surname is arrogant and tight, and he didn't even pay attention to Liu Biao back then, and the former Taishou also wanted to take him in several times, but he would rather stay in the countryside and cultivate the fields than surrender, and if he wants to surrender such a person, I am afraid that it will not be an easy task." ”
"In today's world, not only the monarch chooses the minister, but also the minister chooses the king, the more talented the person, the higher the vision, I believe that this Wei Yan is not content with the ordinary, but he has not met a Bole who can make him worthy of loyalty." Liu Feng's face was confident.
Seeing that he was determined to accept this Wei Yan, Ma Yan no longer objected, and asked instead: "The eldest prince is reasonable, but I don't know how the eldest prince plans to accept this person?" ”
Liu Feng paced in the tent, pondered for a moment, and said, "I decided to go on a trip in person, and I will persuade Wei Yan to return to obedience." ”
Ma Yan was taken aback, and said hurriedly: "The eldest prince's move is too risky, this Wei Yan still doesn't know whether he is an enemy or a friend, the eldest prince, you are in danger, if Wei Yan has bad intentions, what should he do." ”
Ma Yan's concerns cannot be said to be unreasonable, it should be said that they are extremely reasonable, because his judgment is based on the real status quo, and Liu Feng's decision is largely due to his unknown prophetic prescience.
Of course, he knew that the former Wei Yan finally chose to serve Liu Bei, which means that Liu Bei is the master in Wei Yan's eyes. And although he has reported that he has the heart of self-reliance, but now after all, he is attacking the second county of Xiangdong under the banner of Liu Bei, with such an identity, coupled with the sincerity of personally surrendering, Liu Feng believes that it will definitely be worth the trip.
There is also a secret that cannot be told now.
The break soon will inevitably face Liu Bei's angry attack, and it is not enough to resist it by himself and Liu Qi, or with Ma Yan, and if a good general like Wei Yan can join his camp, he can only fight with Liu Bei.
So, this trip he had to go.
"I have a strong premonition that this Wei Yan is lying dormant here, just waiting for someone to dig his grain of gold out of the sand, and I feel that I am the one he is waiting for."
Liu Feng couldn't think of a thoughtful reason for a while, so he casually made up an intuitive reason, and as soon as the words came out, even he felt a little funny.
Of course, this reason couldn't fool the smart Ma Yan, he was silent for a moment, and suddenly said solemnly: "The eldest prince is very important, how can he risk his life, so let's do it, if the eldest prince insists on accepting this person, then let me go for the eldest prince." ”
Ma Jian wanted to "take risks" for himself, Liu Feng was moved in his heart, so he patted him on the shoulder and smiled happily: "I understand your assumptions for my safety, but you have been with me for so long, and you should also know that I Liu Feng never does anything that I am not sure of, so I naturally dare to go, so I have full confidence." You will stay in the camp, arrange a banquet, and wait for that Wei Wenchang to catch the wind." ”
Liu Feng's mind was like iron, and Ma Jian knew that it was useless to persuade him, so he had to sigh: "Since this is the case, then please be careful." ”
"Well, I know, you can rest assured."
Thirty miles away, in a military tent, the man was silently wiping the sword in his hand.
Although he sat on his knees, he still couldn't hide his tall and burly, muscular figure, majestic and mighty like a lion, with an angular face, his facial features were just right, exuding the rough and bold charm of a northland man, but his eyes were as cold as ice, and there was a compelling cold air between his eyebrows.
It seems that there is also a touch of melancholy that others are difficult to perceive.
His brow furrowed, his face a little gloomy, and he just lowered his head to wipe the rusty blade.
A cold light rushed to his face, the curtain was lifted, and a hurried soldier rushed in, panting and said: "Big brother, I have already heard that there are more than 800 Jiangxia soldiers approaching Linxiang, and the enemy general who leads the army seems to be the son of Uncle Liu Huang, called Liu Feng. ”
"Liu Feng, Liu Feng ......"
