Wei Yan received the support of the generals, and on the same day, he set up a banner in Chang'an and widely distributed the text. not only announced Zhao Shu's crimes to the world, but also falsely claimed that the missing prince Liu Xuan was in Chang'an City, and called on the world to jointly conquer Zhao Shu. Wei Yan knew in his heart that he could not compete with Zhao Shu with only the 30,000 horses under his command, so he sent envoys to Wancheng Huo Yi, Jingzhou Guanping, Hanzhong Wang Ping, Chengdu Wu Yi and other places, hoping to unite everyone and fight against Zhao Shu together.
And Luoyang also reacted quickly, announcing to the world, and pushed the charge of murdering Liu Chan to Wei Yan. And Zhao Shu also personally led troops into Tongguan, ready to attack Chang'an at any time. The people of Liangjing had just lived a few days of peace, but they were once again drawn into the war. And Cao Wei in the north and Sun Wu in the south also increased their troops to the border, and after Zhao Shu and Wei Yan fought, they took the opportunity to get a piece of the pie.
There were not many soldiers and horses in Chang'an, and Wei Yan did not dare to rush eastward, recruiting new soldiers while waiting for replies from everywhere. Every day, Wei Yan would personally walk to the head of Chang'an City, not only to inspect the city defenses, but also to look forward to the appearance of his own reinforcements from afar, or Zhao Shu's enemy army. These days, Jiang Wei has not left Wei Yan an inch, and he can naturally understand Wei Yan's intentions. Looking at Wei Yan couldn't help but look into the distance, he couldn't help but say: "General, in the foolish opinion of the last general, I'm afraid that no one will respond to the general's call and rush to help." ”
Wei Yan sighed lightly when he heard this, turned his head and said: "I originally thought that after Guan Ping was loyal and good, Wang Ping would be honest and loyal, Huo Yi would be greatly favored by the first emperor, and the Wu brothers were royal relatives, so they would never see Zhao Shu usurping the throne. Now that I think about it, these people are all people who only care about fame and position, greedy for life and afraid of death. As he spoke, he laughed at himself and laughed bitterly.
Wei Yan only said that everyone was greedy for life and afraid of death, but Jiang Wei knew that it was not entirely correct. Guanping guards Jingzhou, bordering on Eastern Wu, what a critical place. If there is no real evidence, how can he act rashly? And Huo Yi also received Zhao Shu's great favor, and once said that as long as Zhao Shu did not usurp the throne, he would not be embarrassed by it. The Wu Yi brothers, although they are royal relatives, have long fallen on Zhao Shu's side, otherwise how can Zhao Shu rest assured that Chengdu will be handed over to the two? As for Wang Ping, although he is honest and honest on the surface, he is very cunning in his heart, otherwise Liu Bei would not have placed him next to Wei Yan at the beginning. Judging from the current situation, these four people must be wait-and-see, and they will not easily agree to Wei Yanzhi's request.
After Wei Yan's laughter stopped, he said loudly again: "Even if there is no help from these villains, will he definitely lose to Zhao Shu?" Saying this, Wei Yan seemed to have regained his former pride in the field, and said to Jiang Wei: "After his Japanese general succeeds, he will definitely make these villains pay the price for today's timidity." After saying that, he wanted to go down to the city.
At this time, there was a horse galloping in the distance outside the city, and it was Wei Yan's subordinate scouts who saw that the armor was the scout. Wei Yan heard the sound of the horse's hooves very quickly, and couldn't help but stop, "Could it be that there is some urgent military situation?" When he asked this sentence, Jiang Wei had already rushed down to the city. A moment later, I saw him running up to the city and said loudly: "General, General Wang Ping's Hanzhong military horse is only ten miles away from Chang'an. Wei Yan never expected that the scout would bring such good news, stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Wei's shoulders, and said, "Is it really Wang Ping's banner?" Before Jiang Wei could answer, the tanma had already stepped forward and bowed: "General Yu, it is indeed General Wang Ping." When his subordinates knew General Wang when they were in Hanzhong, they would not be mistaken. ”
"Okay, okay." Wei Yan laughed and said, "I know that although Wang Zijun is usually silent, he is very upright, and he will definitely not sit idly by and watch the Han Dynasty change hands. I don't remember that just now a villain was scolding Wang Ping. After rewarding the horses, Wei Yan planned to gather all the generals to go out of the city to greet Wang Ping, but in a blink of an eye, he saw Jiang Wei's solemn face, and couldn't help asking, "What else is there to displeasure about Boyo?" Although Jiang Wei was reluctant to pour Wei Yan's cold water, he had to say, "How did the general know that Wang Ping was here, so he would definitely help the general?" Wei Yan's smile froze suddenly, and he hesitated: "You mean that Wang Ping may have been sent by Zhao Shu?" Jiang Wei nodded and said, "Now is an extraordinary time, it's better for the general to be careful in everything." Wang Ping is loyal on the outside, but he is not a fool, in this case, he is willing to send troops to help the general, what is his intention? The general still has to think twice. ”
What Jiang Wei said was all the truth, but it was a little harsh to Wei Yan's ears, and he said unhappily: "With the meaning of Boyo, those who are willing to help General Ben now are all fools?" Jiang Wei didn't want to argue with him, so he had to say: "Anyway, the general should still close the city gate, and only after asking about his intentions can he let his military horses enter the city." Wei Yan shook his head and said, "If Wang Ping came in response to the general's edict to conquer Zhao Shu, wouldn't it make him feel cold?" After thinking about it, he said: "I will go to the city to talk to him, you can ambush the army in the city, if there is any change, you will quickly kill and respond." ”
The two of them made proper arrangements, and Wang Ping's army and horses had arrived at the city. Without waiting for the other party to step forward and call the door, Wei Yan first took three or five personal soldiers, rode out of the city, and shouted loudly: "It's General Wang Zijun who is here." But seeing that in the opponent's formation, the front soldiers were separated from the left and right, Wang Ping rode out and replied: "It is the last general." ”
When Wei Yan saw him coming alone, he was relieved, and he also stepped forward and said, "I haven't seen you for many days, and the general's demeanor is the same as before." Wang Ping sank like water, and said coldly: "There is no need to say polite words. The last general was summoned by the general to jointly conquer Zhao Shu. I also hope that the general can invite the prince to come out to meet. ”
Wei Yan didn't expect Wang Ping to give himself such a problem when he met, hehe laughed a few times, and said: "A certain general knows that the general is loyal and righteous, and the document is issued, and sure enough, only the general alone came with the troops." As for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, although he is in the city, he is seriously injured in the chaos and cannot meet the general for the time being, so please forgive the general. Wang Ping snorted coldly and replied: "Is it possible for the general to enter the city to pay homage now?" ”
Wei Yan smiled more and more reluctantly, and finally had to say, "Naturally, the general please." Seeing that he agreed, Wang Ping beckoned back, and one of the cavalrymen stepped forward and bowed, "What does the general command?" Wang Ping said: "You go and tell General Liu that I will now enter the city with General Wei to see His Royal Highness the Prince, and if you don't come out after half an hour, let him take you and others back to Hanzhong." The cavalry took the order and left, and Wei Yan smiled again: "What does the general mean by this?" Wang Ping didn't care about Wei Yan at all, and said lightly: "The heart of guarding against people is indispensable." Ask the general to lead the way. Wei Yan had no choice but to laugh a few more times before entering the city with Wang Ping.
After entering the city, Wang Ping watched left and right for a while, and suddenly said: "The general really has people and horses, isn't he going to deal with the last general?" Wei Yan knew that Jiang Wei's ambush had been seen through by Wang Ping, so he replied truthfully: "I am afraid that the general will not come well, but I am afraid that the general will help Zhao Shu to attack Chang'an, so I have to take precautions, and I ask the general to forgive me." Wang Ping said in a deep voice: "The general's words are wrong. The last general only knew how to serve the imperial court, not to help the general or Zhao Shu. Wei Yan was slightly stunned, and then smiled again: "What the general said is extremely true. And he said no more.
When he arrived at the Hussar General's Mansion, Wei Yan led Wang Ping straight up to the lobby, and when he was about to tell the general to watch the tea, Wang Ping said again: "The last general should pay homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first, please ask the general to lead the way." Wei Yan knew that there was no more shirk, so he ordered the general to retreat, and only then sighed heavily, and said: "I really don't hide it from the general, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not in the city." Wang Ping had already sat down, but at this moment, Huo Ran got up and shouted: "It turns out that the general is just deceiving the last general." ”
"The general is angry." Wei Yan hurriedly said: "A certain is also a last resort, the general should know that Zhao Shu has controlled the government for many years, and the reason why he does not dare to follow Cao Cao's usurpation is that he is afraid of the military power in the hands of several people such as us." Now that His Majesty has died, the whereabouts of the crown prince are unknown, but it happened in a certain jurisdiction, such a great opportunity, can Zhao Shuyan miss it? Wei's death is not a pity, but Zhao Shu's ambition is growing and he will soon usurp power. I have followed the emperor for many years, how can I bear to see the Han Dynasty fall into the hands of this thief? That's why this decision was made, also to preserve the Han Temple, and I hope that the general can understand this painstaking effort. ”
Wang Ping looked at Wei Yan again and asked, "Your Majesty's death...... Wei Yan immediately said: "Although there is no conclusive evidence, it is Zhao Shu who thinks about it." Imagine the general, now that the world is peaceful, where can such a group of strongmen come out? Besides, who else in the world can have the courage to murder His Majesty? What's more, His Majesty died, except for the disappearance of the crown prince, the rest of the princes were also killed, who benefited the most in the end? It's also Zhao Shu. And His Majesty's death is within a certain jurisdiction, which is also where Zhao Shu is clever, so he wants to take this opportunity to eradicate Wei, so that no one can stop him from usurping the Han world. With such a plan to kill two birds with one stone, can't the general see it? ”
Wang Ping listened to him speak in detail, and didn't say a word, and finally sighed lightly: "The last general came with troops, and he also felt that things were strange, but the prince ......" Wei Yan was busy interrupting again, and said: "These days, while rectifying the army and horses, I am also secretly inquiring about the news of the prince. But the prince is young, and in that chaotic army, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky. If there is no news of the prince, will the general let Zhao Shu make trouble? Wang Ping looked at Wei Yan carefully again, and finally nodded: "That's it." What the general said is that even if there is no prince, he cannot condone the thieves in charge. The last general then called his subordinates into the city and held a big event with the general. Wei Yan also laughed when he saw that he agreed to help him, and he came out hand in hand with Wang Ping.
After Wang Ping led his troops into the city to settle down, Jiang Wei privately asked to see Wei Yan and asked, "Is the general convinced that Wang Ping is really helping?" Wei Yan originally had doubts in his heart, but after talking with Wang Ping, he was already convinced, and replied with a smile: "You don't have to worry. Wang Ping is loyal to the Liu family, and he will not sit idly by and watch Zhao Shu usurp the throne. Saying that, he sighed with a little admiration: "It is really commendable that there are still people who are so loyal to the Han family." Jiang Wei had no way to argue, so he had to bow and leave, but he secretly prayed in his heart that he hoped that Wei Yan had not seen the wrong person this time.
