Chapter five hundred and fiftieth IX childhood brothers reunited
Chapter 559: Childhood brothers reunited
"There are still such talents in Jingzhou?" After listening to Wei Yan's words, Sima Yi was a little confused. He usually paid attention to the talents of the big families, but he had never paid attention to the generals of the poor families. To be honest, the Kuai brothers were second-rate talents at best, and
Cai Mao is even a third-rate talent, but if Sima Yi is asked to choose, Sima Yi would rather choose them because they are from aristocratic families. Of course, this does not mean that Sima Yi will give up other talents from poor families, but talents from poor families are destined to be inferior to those from aristocratic families under Sima Yi!
"Of course!" Wei Yan said with a smile: "Jingzhou General Wen Pin Wen Zhongye is skilled in bow and horse, both civil and military, and he is very loyal. If the military advisor subdues him, it will be a great help!"
"This..." Sima Yi asked: "How is Wenpin's ability better than Wenchang?"
"In terms of resourcefulness, I am not as good as him, and in terms of martial arts, he is not as good as me, but if I want to defeat him, it will take hundreds of moves!" Wei Yan carefully talked about Wenpin's ability, but Sima Yi was a little hesitant.
"Wen Chang, can we convince such a person?" Sima Yi was a little skeptical after hearing about Wen Pin's loyalty, but Wei Yan smiled and nodded.
"Others will definitely not be able to do it, but if it is me, it may not be impossible!" Wei Yan said proudly: "Wenpin and I are not only fellow villagers, we also practiced martial arts together when we were young, so we can be considered brothers!"
"Are you serious?" Sima Yi rubbed his hands excitedly. What could be more satisfying than getting talents?
"Of course it's true!" Wei Yan sighed: "Actually, Wenpin and I also know Huang Zhong, Liu Zhang's general. Back then, he even mentioned our martial arts skills. Unfortunately, he was killed by Liu Yan a long time ago.
He was summoned to the capital, became Liu Zhang's bodyguard, and then became one of the most senior generals under Liu Zhang!"
"Wen Chang, Huang Zhong is old, and now the world is dominated by young people!" Sima Yi didn't care what happened to Huang Zhong, he just wanted to know if Wenpin had the possibility of surrendering!
"What the military advisor said is true!" Wei Yan paused when he heard the words, and then laughed loudly. After a long while, he stopped and said: "I know that the military advisor is only interested in Wenpin. When he is ordered to come to Wancheng, I will
So I went to talk to Xiang. I really don’t believe that he could ignore the brotherly love back then!”
"Then please leave it to Chief Wen!" From Wei Yan's words, Sima Yi could tell that Wen Pin was extraordinary. He really didn't expect that Wei Yan would lead two generals!
Five days later, Wenpin, Huang She and other Jingzhou generals were ordered to come, accompanied by advisers such as Kuai Yue. Sima Yi was very close to those who came from aristocratic families, but Wenpin was somewhat alone. Sima Yi's enthusiasm did not take into account at all.
Wenpin, let Wenpin feel even more disappointed!
"Pa..." A big hand patted Wenpin's shoulder. Wenpin subconsciously grabbed it with his backhand and twisted it backwards, but the big hand did not move at all. Wenpin was shocked that there could be such a martial artist in Wancheng.
There are all generals whose official positions are higher than his, and he cannot offend them in the slightest!
"I don't know who the general is, so don't blame me!" Wenpin glanced back and saw the man behind him, well-dressed and well-dressed, standing high in the hall. The officials around him were all flattering. It was obvious that he was a big shot.
Quickly bow down and apologize honestly!
"Wen Zhongye, come with me!" Wei Yan was quite happy to see his old friend, but when he saw his friend groveling, he was full of anger and sadness. In his mind, if he hadn't met Liu Bei, maybe he and Wen Yan
Pin was equally depressed! Thinking of this, he missed Liu Bei even more and became more determined to avenge Liu Bei!
"Yes..." Wenpin followed Wei Yan with a bitter look on his face. He really didn't expect that he would offend a big shot when he first arrived in Wancheng. He sighed secretly in his heart: "It seems that I am unlucky, so I should retreat bravely!"
Wei Yan didn't know what Wenpin was thinking. He led Wenpin around and around until he came to the back hall of the city guard's mansion. There was a banquet table in the hall. When he came to the table, Wei Yan sat at the top.
, pointed to his side and said: "Zhongye, sit down!"
"There is no seat for the general in front of you, so the general should stand!" Looking at the banquet, Wenpin swallowed his saliva. He had always been dissatisfied. He had not had a banquet like this in front of him for a long time. He thought.
Thinking about himself, and then looking at General Cao, who was about the same age as himself, Wenpin's heart was filled with sadness, and he even lowered his head unconsciously, just to cover up the unwillingness and loneliness in his eyes!
"Xiao Wenzi, are you being polite to me? Sit down quickly. If you don't sit down, I'll beat you!" Wei Yan's actions were intended to create a strong contrast in Wenpin's heart. This was Sima Yi's plan for him.
He is so good at conquering Wenpin!
"You are..." Hearing such an affectionate address, Wenpin raised his head suddenly, a glimmer of disbelief flashed in his eyes, and there was a hint of surprise!
"You don't even recognize me anymore?" Wei Yan laughed and said, "I'm Yiyang Wei Yan. It seems that I've beaten you a lot in the past, but you don't remember me!"
"Xiao Weizi, is it really you?" Meeting an old friend in a foreign country was already a great joy. Now that he met an old friend in his hometown, Wenpin could only use the word ecstasy to describe his heart. He hugged Wei Yan and said, "Why are you so so?"
Looks familiar, so it’s you! Back then, I heard that there was a general named Wei Yan under Liu Bei’s command, and I thought he had the same name. Now it seems that that kid is you!”
"It's me!" Wei Yan would not deny it. Although it was hard to work under Liu Bei, it was his happiest day because Liu Bei really regarded him as a brother! However, he was also very happy to see his childhood brother. He patted his side.
Wei Yan smiled and said, "Why don't you sit down and wait for me to invite you?"
Knowing that the person in front of him was his childhood playmate, all the restraint in Wenpin's heart disappeared. He sat down at the table carelessly and said with a smile on his face: "Do you need me to buy you a drink? You owed me several meals back then!"
"
"Who asked you to join the army so early? You have military pay. If you don't drink from you, who will drink from you?" Wei Yan picked up the jug, poured a glass of wine for Wenpin and said, "Now that I am rich, it is my turn."
Please! Come and drink this cup!"
"Good wine!" After drinking the wine in the glass, Wen Pinchang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Chang Wen, I haven't seen you for so many years, you are much better than me. Looking at you looking so glamorous, you must be doing well.
Bar!"
"Let's eat together!" Wei Yan said with a smile: "Brother, we are brothers and we are not outsiders. From today on, I will drink everything you drink and I will never let you drink water!"
"This..." Wenpin said with a face filled with emotion: "Chang Wen, I didn't expect that after all these years, you would still remember me, brother. I won't say any more nonsense. I respect you!"
The two of them drank facing each other. Wenpin's face was full of emotion. Wei Yan patted him on the shoulder and said: "We are all brothers from the same hometown. You just don't have a chance! I can only give you a chance, but I can't help you much!"
"Having the opportunity is enough!" Wenpin sighed: "Over the years, I have lacked nothing but opportunities! You don't know that if I win a battle, I have to share the credit with the generals above; if I lose the battle, I have to give it to the generals above.
Take full responsibility! Nine out of ten of those generals who come from aristocratic families are useless, but they occupy high positions and give blind orders. They are simply occupying the latrine and doing nothing! Take Huang She outside, relying on the power of his father Huang Zu
, you are devouring my military glory! If the two armies really fight, if you give me 10,000 people, I can defeat his army of 100,000!"
"It's not like I don't know about those people who cheated!" After hearing Wenpin talk about his grievances over the years, Wei Yan patted him on the shoulder again and comforted him: "I'm here, and your good days will come! However, I'm here
Cao Ying is also having a hard time, and I want my brother to help me!"
"If you have anything to say, Mr. Wen, tell me straight away. As long as you don't trick me, it doesn't matter if I give this to you!" Wen Pin was generous. He pointed at his head. To be honest, that thing was worth a lot of money to him!
"Why do I need that thing? It's not round enough to make a chamber pot, so you can keep it for yourself!" Wei Yan laughed, making Wenpin quite helpless!
"You're still so narrow-minded!" Wenpin asked, "Chang Wen, what do you want me to do?"
"We need you to work together with us!" A voice sounded, and Sima Yi slowly walked into the hall. Wenpin was shocked when he saw this, and he quickly stood up to salute, but was held down by Wei Yan!
"Brother, why did you come here? I'm already a little impatient to wait!" Wei Yan said with a smile: "Zhongye, there is no need to be polite to him, he is my brother, that is, your brother, and he is a member of the family!"
"How can you be so free, and now you are having a drink with Zhongye!" Sima Yi sat up and bowed his hands to Wenpin and said: "Zhongye, you were neglectful just now! You also know that I come from a noble family, so I must
Take care of those people, otherwise it will be very detrimental to the current situation!"
"Don't you dare! How dare you, the general, accept the courtesy of your lord!" Seeing Sima Yi apologizing to him, Wenpin was shocked. His cautious character broke out again and he hurriedly stood up. This shows how much oppression he has suffered over the years!
"Zhongye, didn't Chang Wen say just now that I am Chang Wen's brother, that is, your brother? There is nothing you dare not do. Sit down!" Sima Yi patted Wenpin's shoulder affectionately and poured him a glass of wine himself.
Wine! Although Sima Yi is younger than Wei Yan and Wenpin, seniority in the officialdom is not based on age. With Sima Yi's official position, he is more than enough to be the eldest brother of the two, and the two of them are not stupid enough to use their age as an issue!
"How dare you, the general, so high!" Wenpin's hand holding the wine glass was trembling. For many years, he had never been as proud as today, and he actually asked the commander of the first army to pour wine for him!
"What are you talking about? Do you look down on me?" Sima Yi frowned in displeasure and said, "Wen Chang and I are brothers, that is, your brothers! If you do this again, I will be angry! Brother and you
When we meet for the first time, I don’t have anything to give you, so I’ll just give you a small gift!”
As he spoke, Sima Yi took out a memorial from his arms. Wenpin took it and looked at it, and his eyes suddenly widened. It turned out that Sima Yi recommended him as the governor of Jingzhou, and the governor of Jingzhou had several people. In other words, he suddenly became a Huang.
The Shangguan who shot the others! Wenpin held the memorial in his hands, his hands were shaking violently, and his eyes were a little red!
"How can a general be so virtuous and capable as to be so loved and cared for by the Lord..." Wenpin's face was filled with emotion, but a heart-stopping light flashed in his eyes. To gain something, there must be sacrifice. He didn't know what Wei Yan and Sima Yi wanted, so
Hesitating whether to refuse!
"Zhongye, you don't have to rush to accept or reject, I have something else to say!" Seeing that Wenpin could still remain rational under the huge temptation, Sima Yi's eyes flashed with joy. What he wanted was a general like Wei Yan.
He is a talented person, not a reckless man like Xu Chu!
"Please speak frankly, sir!" Wenpin stood up very respectfully, waiting for Sima Yi's lecture.
"Zhongye, sit down!" Sima Yi pushed Wenpin back on the chair. He sighed and said, "Zhongye, don't think that Wen Chang and I are in high positions. In fact, we are just superficial. In fact, Cao Gong has already treated us.
We are suspicious, so we need to contact some capable people to strengthen our strength in order to protect ourselves!"
"What?" Wenpin was shocked. Although Sima Yi said he was protecting himself, gathering strength to intimidate his lord was no different from treason!
"Zhongye, don't worry, we have no intention of treason. Maybe in your opinion, intimidating the lord is the same as treason, but for thousands of years, the great families have done this! The world's aristocratic families are one, that is, the aristocratic families use marriage to form relationships
Once the monarch wants to harm one of the aristocratic families, the other aristocratic families will immediately oppose each other in order to protect themselves!" Sima Yi smiled slightly and told a fact that surprised Wenpin and Wei Yan!
"Sir, I'm just a pawn, why did you choose me? Is it just because of my literary skills?" Staring at Sima Yi, Wenpin finally understood what opportunity Wei Yan was talking about!
Sima Yi smiled and said: "Wen Chang told me that you are talented. The family has money, people, and food, but it lacks talented people the most! If you are willing to follow me, I can immediately make you the commander-in-chief of an army, second only to
Under Wei Yan!"
"This..." Wenpin hesitated. Sima Yi's temptation was too great and he really couldn't refuse. But if he betrayed Cao Cao, he couldn't bear the accusation of betrayal and disloyalty!
"Zhongye, aren't you worried that we will rebel? We just want to protect ourselves and will never rebel. If you don't believe it, I swear to God!" Seeing Wenpin's hesitation, Wei Yan raised his right hand and stretched out three fingers.
He said with a serious face: "I, Wei Yan, swear to God that if I attempt to rebel, I will be killed by random arrows!"
"Chang Wen, it's not that I don't believe you, but it's a very important matter, I..." Wen Pin looked at Wei Yan with some embarrassment, not knowing what to say!
"Since Zhongye has doubts, go back and think about it carefully!" Wenpin's hesitation meant that his heart had been shaken. Sima Yi knew that haste makes waste, so he smiled and said: "Today is a time for brothers to reminisce about old times, and it is also the first time we have met.
.Zhongye, make friends with me and you shouldn’t be in trouble!”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for being so considerate of me. What's the problem for you, General?" Wenpin knew that he would still serve under Sima Yi, but he didn't dare to offend him too much. He quickly picked up his wine glass and said, "Your Majesty, General!"
"Stop calling me sir. If you think highly of me, call me brother! Even if you don't want to help me, I don't blame you!" Sima Yi held Wenpin's hand, his face full of sincerity. Although Wenpin knew
He is winning people's hearts, but he also feels very warm-hearted. After all, Wenpin has always been depressed!
"Brother Meng won't give up, I'm polite to you!" Wenpin bowed to the end, but he was also included in Sima Yi's pirate ship...
