With a "swish" sound, the arrow target a hundred steps away was shot down, and there were cheers from all around.
Xing Daorong laughed loudly, looked around and said, "How is my archery skills?"
Yang Ling praised: "The arrow hitting the target is comparable to Yang Youji in ancient Chu!"
"Wonderful, wonderful! Wait for me to compose a poem."
Liu Xian, the son of Liu Du, the prefect of Lingling, also pursued him.
Chen Ying and Bao Long also praised him.
However, a red-faced young man in his early twenties was very disdainful. He wanted to speak several times, but he had already restrained himself. However, he laughed angrily at Liu Xian's poem and said: "The target is so big. The general's bow string is so heavy, how can it be that he can't hit the target or miss the target?"
As soon as these words came out, all the generals looked a little ugly.
In fact, after Liu Biao's death, Jingzhou was in disarray. If Liu Cong was given enough opportunities, he could naturally gather the sand. However, Cao Cao followed Xun Yu's plan and suddenly went south, disrupting the entire Jingzhou. Kuai and Cai persuaded Liu Cong With their hands tied, after the four southern counties surrendered in the north of Jingzhou, they could only wait and watch together, and finally surrendered.
These days, the four counties have colluded with each other and have had several marriages, forming a whole. Xing Daorong is the favorite general of Lingling Prefect Liu Du, so there is no reason why everyone should not pursue him.
Xing Daorong held a bow and arrow, looked at the young man sideways and said: "This is General Lingling, the first rank in Jingnan, how can you, a young man like you, talk about it!"
The young man said angrily: "The new General Beifu who came today is also a young boy. I saw him from a distance. He is not a few years older than me. But the pomp and circumstance, with General Le, General Li, and all the generals surrounding him, is nothing like that." Who said he is young, he should be like this!"
Yang Ling scolded: "Wei Yan, there are all famous generals in Jingnan here, how can you, a junior, speak for you!"
Wei Yan was under Han Xuan, the prefect of Changsha. He had some subordinates, but he was not even a captain. His position was low and his position was low. He was not recommended by Han Xuan. It was only because Guanqiu Jian invited him here on Cao Wu's order that he was able to do so. Attend.
When Yang Ling, the number one general in Changsha, came out, Wei Yan's face turned redder, but he did not dare to directly contradict his immediate superior, so he looked at the old general next to him.
But they saw the white-haired veteran pouring himself a drink, without even looking at these people from beginning to end.
He didn't give people the feeling of being noble, but that everything here had nothing to do with him. He just did his own thing even if they were allowed to quarrel.
Wei Yan sighed, sat down slumped, and thought about his skills. However, by the time he finished his studies, Liu Jingsheng was already old, and Jingzhou was governed entirely by aristocratic families. It was so intricate that he, a nameless and hopeless junior, could not get ahead at all.
Generals elsewhere could still be promoted based on their military exploits, but there were few battles between Jingnan and neighboring Jiangdong Yuzhang and other places, so he did not have the opportunity. He struggled for several years without making any achievements.
All of the generals in front of him had never fought in a big battle, and their martial arts skills were average. They all had vain reputations. If Wei Yan was given a chance, why would he become unknown?
But these days, his blood has been wiped out. Now that the world's separatist forces are getting fewer and fewer, does he still have a chance to succeed?
He had been invited by Guan Qiujian these days. When he arrived here, he was excited, thinking he had an opportunity, but he didn't expect that it had been more than a day.
Guanqiu Jian was a calm man and spoke strictly. He never told him who invited him. Wei Yan gradually thought that he had been forgotten and became even more confused about his future.
Just at this moment, a soldier came over and whispered a few words into Yang Ling's ear.
Yang Ling said overjoyed: "General Beifu is here, please follow me to greet him!"
The generals quickly put away their weapons, arranged their appearance and prepared to greet him.
Xing Daorong said excitedly: "General Beifu is not as arrogant as the rumors say, but he actually came to see us in person. It shows that he has the spirit of a brother, and he loves you so much!"
Bao Long said: "This Beifu general has a nepotistic position and is still young. How dare he disrespect us!"
But Chen Ying let out a laugh and said: "We have all the skills, so it is our duty for him to come to greet us. Coming now is already a sign of neglect. Why should we go to greet him? It is his turn to welcome us!"
This sentence immediately made the other four people nod their heads. The four southern counties were in the same spirit, but they had no big backers. They heard that although the Beifu general was arrogant and domineering, he was highly trusted by Prime Minister Cao Cao. They were originally afraid that he would be domineering, but now they learned that he was actually domineering. He was a courteous corporal, so he naturally put on airs and felt that since he was an artist, it was only right that General Beifu came to see him in person.
"It's time for the young boy to come and greet us!"
They changed their minds again and stopped, no longer preparing to leave the camp.
Wei Yan followed, and after walking a few steps, he saw that they had stopped, unable to advance or retreat.
But Huang Zhong didn't even raise his head. After drinking the wine, he was wiping his bow and arrows without moving.
Wei Yan was really envious when he heard them talking just now. He was wondering when he would come forward. Suddenly he heard someone shouting: "But Wei Wenchang?"
Wei Yan was stunned as he didn't know who called out his cousin's name. When he looked up, he was startled.
But he saw that Beifu General Cao Wu had already arrived in front of him.
He had seen Cao Wu enter the camp during the day. At that time, the four generals were surrounding him. It was so beautiful. But now Cao Wu took his hand and asked, "When did Chief Wen arrive? Follow me to the camp to discuss matters later."
Hearing this, Wei Yan felt completely confused.
This young general who once commanded hundreds of thousands of people with integrity, and the brother of the prime minister who held all the power in the world, not only recognized him, but also asked him to discuss matters.
Wei Yan was brave and resourceful, but no general in Liu Biao's army had ever been so kind to him.
"me……"
Wei Yan was still young and was not good at talking to people. He blushed and was speechless.
"Chang Wen, my Beifu has opened a new office. If you don't mind, you can work as a lieutenant in any of my houses."
Beifu General Cao Wu continued.
"What?"
Some of the generals exclaimed.
They originally thought that General Beifu was a general with no title, but they did not expect that he already had the authority to open the mansion.
Although the rank of Zhonglang with a salary of 600 shi was not as powerful as those of them, such as the powerful captains of 1,000 shi, but considering Wei Yan's own foundation and Cao Wu's current reputation, this starting position was simply a step to the top.
Wei Yan was also stunned, not knowing where to put his hands. Just now he was fantasizing about wealth, but now the wealth from the sky suddenly fell on him, it was like a dream.
The generals behind Cao Wu, including Le Jin, Yu Jin and others, were almost all civilians, and they could best understand Wei Yan's mood.
Xu Huang was impatient and said impatiently: "General Beifu appointed you as the general of the palace, why don't you thank me!"
Wei Yan just woke up from a dream, and instead of bowing, he prostrated and prostrated, shouting loudly: "Thank you, General Beifu. Today, I, Wei Yan, will be a member of Beifu. Beifu is the only one who obeys. General, as long as he is driven, I will not hesitate to die!"
Cao Wu quickly helped him up. In the process of lifting him, he accidentally touched the back of his head and touched him there.
Um……
It seems that I haven't grasped what the so-called "rebellion" is. The term "rebellion" should be a frame-up.
In fact, it was not only Wei Yan who was dreamlike, but also Cao Wu.
Wei Yan is Liu Bei's general after the Five Tiger Generals. He guards Hanzhong for the Liu family. Like Guan Yu, he is the official of Ji Han's border.
Cao Wu didn't expect that Wei Yan was so depressed at this time, and he just promised to hold a false position in the government in exchange for his allegiance.
But if you think about it carefully, it's not surprising. This is an era dominated by aristocratic families. If there is no war, there will be no chance for people with commoner backgrounds to get ahead.
Cao Cao issued orders to recruit talents three times. Regardless of their origin, Cao Cao's camp was filled with talents. What Cao Wu did today was equivalent to opening a ray of light for Wei Yan and illuminating his life.
Xing Daorong and others were obviously not happy. They were the first-class generals under their respective prefects, but they were ignored. If Cao Wu treated everyone equally, they would at most think that Cao Wu was domineering, but yet he valued the unknown Wei Yan so highly, and they felt so sad that they were about to break out.
Liu Xianmao then recommended himself: "General Beifu, I am the son of the prefect of Lingling. I am also well versed in the art of war and I am good at writing. Since General Beifu has opened his mansion, if you don't give up, I can be the chief historian of the mansion."
Changshi is the official of Qianshi, and there is only one Changshi in a mansion, so he is basically the head of the official. He thinks that he has reputation, strength, and elegance. Since Wei Yan can do it, there is no reason why he can't do it himself. To the long history.
This was the first time for Cao Wu to see Liu Xian, and he had never heard of this person before. However, in order not to offend others easily, he did not refuse. He just smiled and said: "It's a coincidence that there is already someone with the position of chief historian in the government." Made a decision."
Liu Xian was not very happy and said angrily: "Can General Beifu introduce me to you? Xian wants to see that person's style."
It was actually rude to speak like this, but Liu Xian felt that Cao Wu was young and should not neglect him even though he was favored. He was so angry that he didn't even see Le Jin wink.
Zhuge Liang's ears twitched, and he thought that Cao Wuxu had given him the post of chief historian. Even Lu Xun's talent could only be seconded to Sima. He would take up the post when he returned to Jiaozhou.
Now someone actually wants to compete for his official position?
Zhuge Liang has a stable personality and is unwilling to argue with him, but he is always unhappy in his heart.
But Cao Wu would not get used to this person's nose and face.
He had already taken a step back and originally wanted to make good friends with the four southern counties. But now it seems that it was the southern four counties who took the initiative to humiliate him.
Cao Wu frowned, but before he could get angry, Wei Yan, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly stood up.
He turned to Liu Xian and said: "If Mr. Liu does not give up, I am willing to compete with you in swordsmanship. No need for the governor of the mansion to take action."
Changshi is not just a civil official, but also a man of both civil and military skills. Even Sun Quan's Changshi Zhang Zhao also had martial arts. Swordsmanship is a compulsory course for scribes, so Wei Yan invited him with swordsmanship, which was not considered bullying.
But Liu Xian felt that he had been humiliated. He was the son of a county governor, and everyone in the county wanted to look at his face. No one had ever provoked him like this before. He said angrily: "Who do you think you are, you little boy? What qualifications do you have to compete with me?" Sword? You must be the chief historian of Beifu to have such qualifications."
Wei Yan had completely stood up, and his tall figure immediately oppressed Liu Xian.
"You can't kill a chicken with a sledgehammer, it's enough to compete with me!"
"you you!"
Liu Xian pointed at him, his face as red as Wei Yan's with anger.
Cao Wu lost his temper and thought of watching a good show.
Okay, talking about rebellion, this is... rebellion?
He had just become his man, and in the blink of an eye he was dealing with the son of his old employer's friend.
As expected of Wei Yan.
He likes people who are so refreshing. If he doesn't like it, he should retaliate. In the past, Wei Yan had no identity and didn't dare to do it. Now that General Beifu is backing him, he finally wants to avenge his shame.
At this time, Wei Yan was finally full of blood.
He finally waited for the opportunity to show off his talents.
…
He was imprisoned, Lejin was in the procession, and Zhang Liao and Xu Huang were captured among the captives. They all served orders and performed meritorious service, and were listed as famous generals. There are countless others who have pulled out their subtleties and become patriarchs.
