Wei Xuan said strangely: "When did Wei leave a foreshadowing?"

Jia Xu said with a smile: "Last year, there was a great drought in Jingzhou, and many places in Nanyang had no harvest, and the people fled and were displaced. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info is the lord to Yingchuan County guard, so that the hungry people to work for relief, countless living people, the people of Nanyang are preaching the virtue of the lord. And Yuan Shu served as Nanyang Taishou for only a few months, and the people were full of complaints, all looking forward to the arrival of the lord. The lord only needs to send a partial division, and wherever the banner comes, the army and the people will return to the city!"

Wei Xuan didn't expect that the relief he did last year in order to make a name for himself in Yingchuan had an unexpected gain in Nanyang. He knew that Jia Xu was a cautious person, and since Jia Xu said it so firmly, there would not be much of a problem. He is not the kind of indecisive person, and immediately said: "Pass on my general's order, Xu Huang is the main general, Dian Wei is the vanguard, lead the horse army of 5,000, the infantry army of 20,000, and immediately capture Nanyang!"

Xu Huang and Dian Wei were all happy, and they promised in unison. As a military general, who doesn't want to have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions? Wen Ping, who was on the side, looked a little depressed.

Wei Xuan patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Zhongye, you will fight this battle in the future!"

In this era, if you are not particularly close to people, you will rarely make movements such as tapping your shoulder. Wen Ping was slightly stunned, and immediately nodded with emotion.

Jia Xu was also very happy when he saw that Wei Xuan was decisive, and said: "The lord has taken Changsha, if he can take Nanyang again, the seven counties of Jingxiang will be the third, and the rest of the counties have those who dare not obey, and they can raise troops to fight for it." It's just that there is still a lack of a head, and the lord can ask for his life. ”

While he was talking, a sergeant suddenly came to report, and the imperial court issued an edict to reappoint Wei Xuan as the pastor of Jingzhou and seal the Marquis of Xiangyang. Although in Liu Hong's hands, the authority of the assassin has been expanded, almost equal to that of the state pastor, but after all, it is not as direct as the state pastor.

Jia Xu couldn't help but be overjoyed and said: "It's really heaven helping the lord! In this way, the name is justified!"

......

Although the name is justified, the most important thing is to look at the strength. Before Wei Xuan takes Nanyang, the rest of the counties must take a wait-and-see attitude, and there can be no further action. Wei Xuan simply freed his hands and dealt with Cao Cao and Sun Jian's families first.

According to the laws of the imperial court, the families of criminals were either rewarded for meritorious service or sold into slavery. This is very cruel to those family members, but it can motivate subordinates and serve as a warning. In this era, Wei Xuan can only do things according to the rules of this era.

Cao Cao is dead, and his family is not difficult to deal with. Wei Xuan rewarded Cao Song, Cao De's wife and concubine, Ding and Liu to Huang Zhong, Xu Huang, Wen Ping, Cai Mao and others who had made military exploits. Bian was a strange woman, and Wei Xuan couldn't bear her humiliation and left her in the Assassin's Mansion.

Sun Jian, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Zu Mao were still in Luoyang to conquer Dong Zhuo, but Wei Xuan knew that even if he took their family members hostage, they would not be able to surrender to him. But now that their families are being given to the people as slaves, and their anger will only increase the resistance, it is better to wait and see for a while. However, Wei Xuan was very curious, and wanted to see what the brothers Sun Ce and Sun Quan looked like, so he asked someone to send all of Sun Jian's family to the Thorn History Mansion.

Wei Xuan returned to the mansion after handling official business, asked Ming Sun Jian's small settlement place, pushed the door in, and saw only a beautiful woman sitting alone on the couch in the house. The woman was thirty years old, and her face was undiminished, but her expression was sad. Wei Xuan didn't feel strange and asked, "Who are you?"

The woman trembled and said, "The concubine is Sun Jian's wife, Wu. ”

Only then did Wei Xuan know that she was Sun Jian's wife, Mrs. Wu. Legend has it that Sun Jian married a sister of the Wu family, and Wei Xuan couldn't help asking, "Are you a sister or a sister?"

Wu said blankly: "The concubine is the only daughter in the family, and she has no sisters. ”

It turns out that the legend is really not credible. Wei Xuan secretly sighed, and asked, "Are Sun Ce and Sun Quan both sons of you?"

Wu replied: "The concubine has four sons, the eldest son, Ce, is fifteen years old. The second son, Quan, is eight years old. The third son, Yi, is six years old. The fourth son, Kuang, is three years old. ”

Wei Xuan didn't expect that the Wu family would give birth to four sons for Sun Jian in one go, and said almost without thinking: "You can really give birth!"

Wu's expression changed suddenly, and he hurriedly knelt down and begged: "The concubine is pregnant, and I hope that the adult will give her some time and then serve the adult." ”

Wei Xuan was stunned for a moment, and understood that his subordinates had misunderstood what he meant, thinking that he had taken a fancy to Wu's beauty, so he let Wu live alone. And Wu listened to what he just said, and he also misunderstood. Wei Xuan suddenly felt embarrassed, coughed twice and said, "Madam, please get up, Wei has no such intention." Sun Jian is a hero, and Wei also admires him. However, he was good at killing and assassinating Shi and violating the law, and Wei, as an official of the imperial court, couldn't help but ask. Your mother and son can only live here with peace of mind, and wait for Sun Jian to arrive at the case, and then wait for the fate. ”

Although the Wu family escaped the catastrophe, his face was also flushed with shame. Suddenly, there was a cry from next door, but it was the voices of several women and children. Wu hurriedly said, "Could it be that Wu'er is seriously injured?"

Wei Xuan said: "If you can't rest assured, you can go with Wei to have a look." ”

Wu hurriedly got up from the ground and said softly, "Thank you, sir." ”

......

When I walked next door, I saw a woman with several children hugging and crying around a teenager. The same big room, but this one was crowded with eight people, including Sun Ce, Sun Quan, Sun Yi, Sun Kuang, Sun Jian's concubine Ding, Sun Lang and two daughters born to Ding. Because of Sun Ce's bravery, the guards did not dare to relax, and chained his hands and feet to a wooden couch.

Sun Ce was hit by Huang Zhong's arrow in Changsha, and although the wound was bandaged, the medical level of this era was limited and it was easy to be incurred. At this time, Sun Ce was unconscious, had a high fever, and was full of nonsense. Ding is just a woman's family, and he is at a loss for a while, and the children are young, and they only know how to cry.

Wu was concerned about his son's safety, hurriedly pushed Ding away, pounced on Sun Ce, and shouted: "Ce'er, Ce'er......"

Ding glanced at Wu, and then looked at Wei Xuan, who came in with Wu, his face suddenly became weird, and he blurted out: "Madam, you ......"

But halfway through the words, Ding quickly stopped it. Wei Xuan also noticed that something was wrong at this time. Ding and the group of children, all of them were ragged and unkempt. But Wu was dressed in gorgeous clothes, his face was clean and tidy, and he had obviously just bathed and freshened up. However, she came in with Wei Xuan, which will inevitably lead to reverie. However, Ding is also aware of his situation, where can he dare to question Wu's disloyalty to Sun Jian?

Wu didn't notice Ding's strange gaze, she was focused on Sun Ce. But let her shout for a long time, Sun Ce just didn't move. Wu panicked, turned his head and knelt down in front of Wei Xuan again, kowtowed: "Please ask the adults to save Ce'er, the concubine is willing to be a slave and a maid!"

To save or not to save, this made Wei Xuan a little difficult.
