"Report!"
Just as Cao Cao and Guo Jia were immersed in their ingenious plan, the voices of soldiers outside the door interrupted them.
"What's the matter!"
Cao Cao was a little unhappy. He hated others disturbing him the most.
One is when you are happy and the other is when you are sleeping.
The soldier looked frightened, but the matter was extremely important and he did not dare to hide it.
"Reporting to the King of Wei, Wei, the envoy of the State of Qin, wants to see you."
"Wei Jian?"
Cao Cao exclaimed softly and looked at Guo Jia with confusion.
"Didn't Wei Ji join Liu Zhang? He was also appointed as Jing Zhaoyin, right? What's the reason for him to come to Gu at this time?"
Guo Jia narrowed his eyes slightly and did not give an answer easily.
"King Wei, when the soldiers come, they will cover up the water and the earth. If you invite him in, everything will be clear."
"That's all. I hope it's not a bad thing..."
Before Wei Ji came, Cao Cao felt that the world was extremely beautiful and everything was developing in his favor.
When Wei Qian came, everything changed.
In other words, as long as it is related to Liu Zhang, I always feel that. . .
Very awkward!
"pass!"
However, Cao Cao still happily chose to meet him.
Just like Guo Jia said, it’s all clear once you see it.
Not long after, Wei Jian was brought in by the soldiers.
"Foreign minister Wei Jian, please pay homage to the King of Wei, Military Advisor Guo!"
As soon as he entered the door, Wei Jian leaned over and held his hands in an extremely polite manner.
"Boxi!"
Cao Cao let out an exclamation full of joy, walked quickly to Wei Jing, and kindly helped Wei Jing up.
The smile on his face is both sincere and friendly.
"Bo Xi, I haven't seen you for many years, but I miss you so much!"
Before Hedong County was assigned to Liu Zhang, Wei Jian was actually an official under Cao Cao.
It's just that he doesn't get much attention and doesn't get any special treatment.
Mainly at that time, Cao Cao was facing pressure from Yuan Shao, and he focused on the Central Plains clan.
I really look down upon the small Hedong Wei family.
Wei Jian showed gratitude and bowed again.
"Thank you King Wei for your concern. My foreign ministers are under the command of King Qin. Everything is fine!"
Cao Cao nodded again and again, holding Wei Jian's hand tightly and shaking it.
He seemed excited, but in fact he was already scolding and full of contempt in his heart.
This guard kept talking about foreign ministers, obviously telling Cao Cao that he had a master, so don't worry about him.
Cao Cao had never thought highly of him before, so why would he think so now?
However, Wei Jian was Liu Zhang's envoy after all, and Cao Cao did not dare to turn against him easily.
"Bo Xi, come to Yecheng, could it be that you are here..."
Cao Cao kept winking at Wei Qian, as if he knew what he was doing.
Even if you don't like it, you still don't like it. The process still has to go.
Lest Wei Jian complain that Cao Cao looks down on him.
But Cao Cao was obviously overthinking it. Wei Qian was prosperous in the Qin State, how could he miss Cao Cao who was declining?
At that moment, he waved his hands repeatedly, fearing that Cao Cao would misunderstand.
"Information to the King of Wei, the foreign minister is here to pay homage to the King of Wei on the orders of the King of Qin!"
"I see..."
Cao Cao looked suddenly enlightened, but secretly insulted him in his heart.
You better be, you idiot!
"I wonder what's wrong with King Qin?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Jia stepped forward.
"King Wei, please invite Mr. Wei to take a seat first!"
Cao Cao slapped his forehead before he realized what he was doing.
"Yes, yes! You're being rude."
While pulling Wei Qian into the house, he gave instructions to the outside.
"Serve the tea, take out the tea leaves that I have collected, and give them to Bo Xi to taste!"
Wei Jian was extremely frightened.
"Thank you, King Wei!"
"You don't need to be polite."
Cao Cao took Wei Jian and Guo Jia and the other two sat down separately.
Not long after, the servants served the freshly brewed tea.
The three of them exchanged a few words, and Guo Jia took the lead to get to the point.
"Mr. Wei, I wonder why you came to Yecheng from afar?"
Wei Jian was startled and put down the teacup he had just finished tasting.
"The King of Wei and Military Advisor Guo are here to report the good news to you two."
"Oh? Why are you so happy?"
When Cao Cao heard that it was a happy event, he immediately became energetic.
Wei Jian chuckled softly.
"Haha, the martial arts tournament has ended. One of King Wei's subordinates is ranked on the heavenly list, and five of them are ranked on the earthly list. It's really gratifying and congratulatory!"
"this..."
Cao Cao's smile instantly froze.
What kind of good news is this?
Six people, five were eliminated?
"Why, doesn't King Wei find it gratifying?"
Cao Cao's eyes twitched and he nodded awkwardly.
"It's gratifying... it's gratifying..."
I have met Wei Jian before and thought he was quite a smart person.
Unexpectedly, I turned out to be so blind!
Seeing this, Guo Jia quickly spoke out to ease the embarrassment.
"Mr. Wei, I heard that King Qin set up a ranking on the Heavenly Ranking List. What is the specific situation?"
"It's like this. Tianbang adopts a self-recognition method and a challenge method. The situation of the plot battle is..."
Wei Zhi described the entire process of the day to the two of them in great detail.
From the self-recognition stage to the battle stage, even the excitement of the process is described.
Because the process was so exciting, Cao Cao and Guo Jia seemed to be immersed in the scene and listened with gusto.
When he heard that Xu Chu, the only Wei general, had defeated Dian Wei, Cao Cao was so angry that he almost overturned the table.
Fortunately, Guo Jia held down Cao Cao's hand, so there was no joke.
When he heard that Zhang Fei was seriously injured, Cao Cao turned from anger to joy, and even sarcastically said why he didn't cut Zhang Fei in half with a sword.
But when he arrived at Guan Yu, Cao Cao had a complicated look in his eyes.
"I didn't expect that Yun Chang, who is so skilled in martial arts, would end up in the last place. It's really... ugh..."
Listening to Cao Cao's long sigh, Wei Jian showed a hint of surprise.
Unexpectedly, Cao Cao still had such feelings for Guan Yu.
"King Wei, everyone on the Heavenly List has the ability to compete for the divine horse. The reward will be given out only after the divine horse recognizes its owner. However, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were seriously injured and need some time to train."
"Therefore, General Xiahou and others need to stay in Chang'an for more than ten days before they can return with the reward from King Qin."
"The King of Qin specially asked me to explain it to the King of Wei. General Xiahou and others have no worries about food and clothing in Chang'an, so the King of Wei does not need to worry!"
Cao Cao nodded and had no objection.
Let alone going far, there will be no war in Wei for at least half a year.
It really doesn't matter that Xiahou Dun and the others came back a month late.
If Wei Jian said that Xiahou Dun and others did not want rewards for coming back, Cao Cao would have to write a letter in person to keep them!
After a while, seeing that the matter was revealed, Guo Jia went straight to the topic again.
"Chang'an is so far from Yecheng, and Mr. Wei holds an important position. King Qin can't let Mr. Wei go there just to tell King Wei the result of the competition, right?"
"The Qin and Wei families are in an alliance, and there is no distinction between them! Please make it clear, Mr. Wei."
Wei Jian smiled and took a sip of tea.
"Commander Guo is truly a genius and has extraordinary knowledge!"
"I have something important to do here."
"Oh? Mr. Wei, please speak out!"
Guo Jia quickly cheered up.
Next, is the focus of Wei's covetous work!
"Haha, I am here to bring three gifts specifically for King Wei and Military Advisor Guo."
"By the way, this gift was personally chosen by King Qin for King Wei and Military Advisor Guo!"
