Under the deliberate efforts of Sima Yi and Wei Yan, the banquet was regarded as a pleasure for the guests and hosts. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 When Wen Ping walked out of the City Guard Mansion, he felt that the eyes of everyone looking at him were a little different from before. Those eyes full of jealousy and envy made him feel a little fluttering, but when he thought of Sima Yi's words, he felt a little uneasy in his heart!
"Yo, isn't this General Wen?" With the smell of alcohol, Wen Ping slowly walked towards the camp. On the way, a familiar voice sounded beside him.
"The last general will see General Huang!" Wen Ping looked back and saw that it was Huang Jie, he was shocked, and hurriedly saluted, but was held down by Huang Jie!
"That's it! I've known each other for many years, why are you so polite? Huang Jian smiled and hugged Wen Ping: "Brother Wen, if there is anything that the junior brother has offended before, please bear with me!" ”
"It's... How dare you! Wen Ping was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "The last general has always admired General Huang tightly..."
"That's it!" Huang Jie smiled: "Now you are also your own person, Lord Sima has already ordered, so we must not embarrass you anymore." If you had known that you had a relationship with the Sima family, who would have troubled you from the Jingzhou family? Let's go, I've invited a few friends to introduce you to you! ”
"This..."Wen Ping said with some embarrassment: "The last general's status is low, and he still won't go!" ”
"Who says you're low?" Huang Jie said: "Master Sima said, you are his brother, that is our brother, who dares to say that you have a low status, that is to look down on us!" Of course, if you look down on me, then there is no way, I have to know and take the initiative to get out! ”
"It's better to be respectful than to obey!" The family has the best face, Wen Ping doesn't dare not give Huang Shot face, he still has to mix in Jingzhou!
"That's right!" Taking Wen Ping's hand, Huang Jie walked towards the largest restaurant in Wancheng.
In the private room on the top floor of the restaurant, people from all major families have arrived! Like Pang Lin of the Pang family, Kuai Liang of the Kuai family, Cai Zhong and Cai He of the Cai family, etc., are all characters that Wen Ping looked down on before, but was out of reach. In the past, these people would never look at Wen Ping with a straight eye, but now, these people have been currying favor with him. Drunk gold fans, in the continuous flattery and praise, Wen Ping felt drunk, and at the same time understood a lot of truths that he didn't understand before!
"Hmm..." A muffled snort sounded, and Wen Ping felt that his head was a little swollen and a little painful, obviously drunk and not waking up. He looked at the dim surroundings and asked, "Where am I?" ”
"This is the barracks!" A big man helped Wen Ping up and handed him a pot of hot tea. I only heard the big man say: "Father, why do you drink so much?" Beware of yellow ejaculation that will trouble you again! ”
"Not anymore! None of them will ever be! Wen Ping finally remembered the cause and effect, he took the teapot to his mouth and drank it all, the sweet tea made him feel a lot more comfortable!
"Won't it be?" Dahan was a little surprised and asked, "Father, why not?" ”
"Hugh, do you know who I met today?" Looking at his adopted son, Wen Ping's heart warmed, although Wen Xiu was not his biological son, he was closer than his biological son!
"It must be an acquaintance, otherwise my father wouldn't be so happy as to get drunk!" Wen Xiu knows Wen Ping very well, and he knows that Wen Ping is a very self-disciplined person. Even Wenpin was drunk, which shows that the relationship between the person who came and Wenpin must be very close!
"Remember Uncle Wei?" Looking at Wen Xiu, Wen Ping was full of smiles. Wen Ping's brother died early, leaving only one son, and Wen Ping was worried that Wen Xiu would have nothing to support, so he took him home and thought it was an adopted son. Back then, Wei Yan and Wen Ping had a very close relationship, and they had also met Wen Xiu!
"Which Uncle Wei... Isn't that red-faced Uncle Wei who wields a knife? Wen Xiu thought about it for a long time, and finally remembered someone, and he said happily: "Of course I remember!" He and his father are close friends, and he used to practice martial arts with his father, did he also come to Wancheng? Why didn't his father invite him to sit down? I remember that his martial arts skills were good, and if he joined the army, he would also be his father's help! ”
"He's already in the army!" Wen Ping smiled: "Do you know where I met him? In the castle guard's house! ”
"Uncle Wei is also Cao Jun's man?" Wen Xiu frowned and said, "That's not right! I remember that no one in the general Cao Jun had the surname Wei, could it be that he changed his name and surname? No way! People like Uncle Wei pay attention to whether they change their names or their surnames! If you say so, there is only one person in Cao's army surnamed Wei, and that is Wei Yan, the general under the command of the former Liu Bei! ”
"Xiu'er guessed right, it's Wei Yan!" Seeing that his son had such wisdom, Wen Ping smiled with satisfaction, he stroked his son's back and said: "Wen Chang is now one of the best figures in Cao's army, and he has a good relationship with the military advisor Sima Yi, and he is also called a brother. Sima Junshi has already said hello, so that Huang Jie and the others will no longer embarrass me, and he is ready to recommend me as the governor of Jingzhou! ”
"Father, you've finally come out!" Wen Xiu knew that Wen Ping had the ability, but he had been suppressed, and now he heard that Wen Ping could come out, he was very happy!
"Alas..."Wen Ping sighed, his face full of confusion, but he was speechless.
Wen Xiu couldn't help asking, "Father, this is a good thing, why are you unhappy?" ”
"Fortune and misfortune are unpredictable!" Wen Ping said Sima Yi's words with a wry smile, he also wanted to hear Wen Xiu's opinion!
"I see, it seems that Uncle Wei is not very happy!" Understanding the cause and effect, Wen Xiu smiled and asked, "Father, what do you want to do?" ”
"I don't know!" Wen Ping said with a headache: "Although Sima Yi said that he didn't want to rebel, I think he is very ambitious. If I take refuge in him, I am afraid that he will be implicated. ”
Wen Xiu smiled and said: "Father, Sima Yi dares to tell you these things, so he is ready, if you don't take refuge in him, aren't you afraid that he will be unfavorable to you?" Although you have a good reputation in Jingzhou, if he wants to frame you, you can't escape! In my opinion, you should take refuge in him! ”
"No way!" Wen Ping said angrily: "As a general of Jingzhou, how can I do such a betrayal of the master? ”
"Betrayal?" Wen Xiu smiled and asked, "Father, who is your lord?" Cao Ying? Liu Biao? ”
"This..."Wen Ping was stunned again, if he said that his lord was Cao Ying, he would have betrayed Liu Biao, because Liu Biao died at the hands of Cao Ying. If it is Liu Biao, it doesn't hurt for him to take refuge in Sima Yi, anyway, Liu Biao is dead! After thinking for a while, Wen Ping suddenly said angrily: "Don't confuse me, you kid, I only belonged to Cao Ying after Lord Liu died!" ”
Wen Xiu shook his head and said: "Because the general can't avenge the Lord and defend the territory, he surrenders to the enemy." Father, is this the fame you want? Even if you think that Cao Ying is your current lord, Sima Yi is also the general of the Cao army, and you are no different from serving Cao Gong! ”
Wen Xiu's words smashed into Wen Ping's heart like a giant hammer, as a general of Jingzhou, he should try his best to avenge Liu Biao, instead of surrendering Cao Ying! Now that he surrendered to Cao Ying, his reputation has been stained, and it is nothing to take refuge in Sima Yi. Besides, Sima Yi is under Cao Ying's command, and taking refuge in him is not a betrayal!
"Xiu'er, do you think I should serve Sima Yi?" Knowing what his son meant, Wen Ping frowned, a little hesitant in his heart, although he knew that it was the best choice to take refuge in Sima Yi, but he didn't want to lose his reputation!
"It's not that I think, but you have to take refuge in Sima Yi!" Wen Xiu said: "Father, Sima Yi enveloped you, but you didn't give him face, do you think he will let you go?" Yes, Uncle Wei may intercede for you, but your life is over, unless you take refuge in other princes! Since you always have to take refuge in one person, why not take refuge in Sima Yi? ”
"But Sima Yi is jealous of Duke Cao, if I take refuge in him, I will inevitably be suspected by Duke Cao..."
"Father, it's not that the child is rude, just by virtue of your identity, what is Prime Minister Cao afraid of you? Do you want soldiers or not, you want no people, even if Sima Yi helps you achieve a high position, you can't take it away at any time? So you don't need to worry about anything, just do your duty! "Compared with Wen Ping, who suffers from gains and losses, Wen Xiu sees it very far. In fact, Wen Ping also understands his own situation, but under the big opportunities and big risks, he seems to be so vacillating!
"You're right, I'm just a person who has nothing, and I don't care about anything else!" After being persuaded by his son for a long time, Wen Ping made up his mind, anyway, he was destined to stay in Jingzhou, and instead of being angry, it was better to take refuge in Sima Yi.
The next day, Wen Ping took Wen Xiu to the City Shou Mansion, since he decided to solve the current dilemma through Sima Yi, he naturally wanted his son to go further. With Wenxiu's ability, the commander of the first army can't mix, and it's no problem to mix a deputy general. Hearing that Wen Ping was coming, Sima Yi and Wei Yan knew that he had made a decision, and hurriedly ordered someone to invite him into the city to guard the mansion.
"See your lord!" After a salute first, Wen Ping smiled and asked, "Brother, I don't know if you handed it out?" ”
"Solo?" Sima Yi reacted immediately, he smiled and said: "I just met my brother yesterday, and I haven't had time to hand it over, but I don't know what my brother means!" ”
"Xiu'er, haven't you seen the two elders yet?" Wen Ping didn't answer, but called out Wen Xiu!
"I've seen Uncle Sima, Uncle Wei!" Wen Xiu looked at Wei Yan and asked with a smile, "Uncle Wei, do you still know me?" ”
"You are..."I haven't seen you for nearly twenty years, the child who was seven or eight years old back then is now over thirty years old, although Wei Yan feels a little familiar, but he really can't recognize it!
"I'm Wen Xiu, the child who practiced martial arts with you back then!" Wen Xiu reported with a smile and left the house, and Wei Yan recognized it!
"Oh, Xiao Wenxiu is so old!" Wei Yan laughed and said, "It seems that your kid also joined the army with his brother, what position is he in now?" ”
"The kid is not talented, but now he is just a military horse, and I hope that my uncle will help him!" Wen Xiu bowed down and smiled: "Of course, I also hope that Uncle Sima will take care of it..."
"Well said!" As soon as Wen Xiu's words came out, Sima Yi knew Wen Ping's plan, and he said with a smile: "Since you are the son of Zhongye, you will guarantee a Hengshui general, I don't know what to do?" ”
