Under the deliberate efforts of Sima Yi and Wei Yan, the banquet was a feast for both the guests and the host. When Wenpin walked out of the city guard's house, he actually felt that the eyes of everyone looking at him were a little different from before. Those eyes full of jealousy and envy made him
He felt a little elated, but when he thought of Sima Yi's words, he felt a little uneasy!
"Hey, isn't this General Wen?" Wenpin slowly walked towards the camp, smelling of alcohol. On the way, a familiar voice sounded beside him.
"The last general meets General Huang!" Wenpin turned around and saw that it was Huang She. He was shocked and quickly saluted, but was held down by Huang She!
"Okay! We have known each other for many years, why do you need to be so polite?" Huang She supported Wenpin with a smile and said: "Brother Wen, if I have offended you in any way, please forgive me!"
"This...how dare you!" Wenpin was stunned for a moment, then quickly bowed and said: "The general has always admired General Huang..."
"Okay!" Huang She said with a smile: "Now you can be considered one of our own. Lord Sima has already ordered us not to make things difficult for you anymore. If we had known that you were related to the Sima family, who in the Jingzhou family would have troubled you? Let's go.
, I invited a few friends to introduce you to them!"
"This..." Wenpin said with some embarrassment: "The general has a low status, so I won't go!"
"Who said you are of low status?" Huang She said: "Master Sima said that you are his brother, that is our brother. Who dares to say that you are of low status means looking down on us! Of course, if you look down on me, then
There was no other way, I had no choice but to take the initiative and get out of here!"
"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders!" A wealthy family has the best face. Wenpin dare not deny Huang She face, he still wants to hang out in Jingzhou!
"This is the right thing!" Huang She took Wenpin's hand and walked to the largest restaurant in Wancheng.
In the private room on the top floor of the restaurant, people from all the major families were all here! People like Pang Lin from the Pang family, Kuai Liang from the Kuai family, Cai Zhong, Cai He from the Cai family, etc. were all whom Wenpin looked down upon before, but they could
An unattainable figure. Usually, these people would never look at Wenpin seriously, but today, these people have been trying to please him. Drunk and drunken, Wenpin felt drunk amidst the continuous flattery and praise.
, and at the same time, I also understood many truths that I didn’t understand before!
"Hmm..." There was a muffled groan, and Wenpin felt that his head was a little swollen and a little painful. He was obviously drunk. He looked at the dim environment around him and couldn't help but ask: "Where am I?"
"This is the military camp!" A big man helped Wenpin up and handed him a pot of hot tea. The big man said: "Father, why do you drink so much? Be careful that Huang She will trouble you again!"
"No! It won't happen again!" Wenpin finally remembered the cause and effect. He took the teapot to his mouth and drank it in one gulp. The sweet tea made him feel much better!
"No?" The big man asked in surprise: "Father, why can't you?"
"Xiu'er, do you know who I met today?" Looking at his adopted son, Wenpin felt warm in his heart. Although Wenxiu was not his biological son, he was closer than his biological son!
"They must be acquaintances, otherwise my father wouldn't be so happy that he got drunk!" Wenxiu knew Wenpin very well, and he knew that Wenpin was a very self-disciplined person. Even Wenpin was drunk, which meant that the person who came was not related to Wenpin.
The relationship must be very close!
"Do you remember Uncle Wei?" Wenpin looked at Wenxiu with a smile on his face. Wenpin's brother died young and left only one son. Wenpin was worried that Wenxiu would have nothing to support, so he took him home.
He thought he was his adopted son. At that time, Wei Yan had a close relationship with Wenpin, and he also met Wenxiu!
"Which Uncle Wei...could it be the red-faced Uncle Wei who wields a sword?" Wen Xiu thought for a long time, and finally remembered a person. He said happily: "Of course I remember! He and his father are close friends, and they used to practice martial arts with his father.
, has he also come to Wancheng? Why didn't father invite him to sit here? I remember that he was good at martial arts, and he would be my father's help if he joined the army!"
"He has already joined the army!" Wenpin said with a smile: "Do you know where I saw him? In the city guard's mansion!"
"Uncle Wei is also from Cao Jun?" Wen Xiu frowned and said, "No! I remember that none of the generals of Cao Jun were named Wei. Did he change his name? Impossible! People like Uncle Wei are particular about whether to change their name.
, I won’t change my surname! If you put it this way, there is only one person in Cao’s army whose surname is Wei, and that is Wei Yan, the former general under Liu Bei!”
"Xiu'er guessed right, it's Wei Yan!" Seeing that his son was so smart, Wenpin smiled with satisfaction. He stroked his son's back and said: "Chang Wen is now one of the top figures in Cao's army, and he has a close relationship with military advisor Sima Yi.
Du, treat me as a brother. Sima Military Advisor has already said hello to Huang She and others not to embarrass me any more, and is ready to recommend me as the governor of Jingzhou!"
"Father, you have finally come forward!" Wenxiu knew that Wenpin was capable, but had been suppressed by others. Now that he heard that Wenpin was able to come forward, he was very happy!
"Alas..." Wen Pin sighed, his face full of confusion, but he had no words.
Wenxiu couldn't help but ask: "Father, this is a good thing, why are you unhappy?"
"Misfortune and fortune are unpredictable!" Wenpin said Sima Yi's words with a wry smile. He also wanted to hear Wenxiu's opinion!
"I see, it seems that Uncle Wei is not very happy either!" After understanding the cause and effect, Wen Xiu asked with a smile: "Father, what do you want to do?"
"I don't know either!" Wenpin said with a headache: "Although Sima Yi said he doesn't want to rebel, I think he is very ambitious. If I surrender to him, I'm afraid I will be implicated!"
Wenxiu smiled and said: "Father, Sima Yi dared to tell you these things, so he was prepared. If you don't go to him, are you not afraid that he will do something bad to you? Although you are quite famous in Jingzhou, if he wants to frame you,
You can’t run away either! In my opinion, you’d better seek refuge with him!”
"No!" Wenpin said angrily: "As a general of Jingzhou, how can I do this and betray my master?"
"Back to the master?" Wen Xiu asked with a smile: "Father, who is your master? Cao Cao? Liu Biao?"
"This..." Wenpin was stunned again. If his lord was Cao Cao, he would have betrayed Liu Biao, because Liu Biao died in Cao Cao's hands. If it was Liu Biao, it would be okay for him to seek refuge with Sima Yi. Liu Biao was already dead anyway!
After thinking for a long time, Wenpin suddenly said angrily: "You kid, don't confuse me. I only came under Cao Cao after Mr. Liu died!"
Wenxiu shook his head and said: "A general cannot avenge his lord, cannot defend the territory, but surrenders to the enemy. Father, is this the reputation you want? Even if you think Cao Cao is your current lord, Sima Yi is also a general of Cao's army. You
There is no difference between serving him and serving Duke Cao!"
Wenxiu's words were like a giant hammer hitting Wenpin's heart. As a general in Jingzhou, he should find ways to avenge Liu Biao instead of surrendering to Cao Cao! Since he surrendered to Cao Cao, his reputation has been stained, so it doesn't matter if he surrenders to Sima Yi again.
.Besides, Sima Yi is under Cao Cao, so taking refuge with him is not considered betraying one’s master!
"Xiu'er, do you think I should join Sima Yi?" Understanding his son's meaning, Wenpin frowned and hesitated in his heart. Although he knew that joining Sima Yi was the best choice, he didn't want to lose his reputation!
"It's not that I think it is, but that you must seek refuge with Sima Yi!" Wen Xiu said: "Father, Sima Yi wants to win over you, but you don't give him face. Do you think he will let you go? Yes, Uncle Wei may intercede for you.
, but your life is over, unless you take refuge with other princes! Since you always have to take refuge with one person, why not take refuge with Sima Yi?"
"But Sima Yi is jealous of Duke Cao. If I seek refuge with him, I will definitely be suspected by Duke Cao..." In Wenpin's view, Cao Cao was still the prime minister of the Han Dynasty and his lord.
"Father, it's not that you are rude, but based on your status, why does Prime Minister Cao fear you? You want no soldiers and no one. Even if Sima Yi helped you get a high position, he can't take it away at any time? So you don't need to
If you have any worries, just do your duty wholeheartedly!" Compared to Wenpin, who worries about gains and losses, Wenxiu sees things further. In fact, Wenpin also understands his situation very well, but under the great opportunities and risks, he
That’s why he seems so shaky!
"You're right, I just have nothing, and I don't care about anything else!" After being persuaded by his son for a long time, Wenpin made up his mind. He was destined to stay in Jingzhou anyway, so rather than suffer, it was better to seek refuge with Sima Yi.
The next day, Wenpin brought Wenxiu to the city guard's mansion. Since he decided to use Sima Yi to solve the current predicament, he naturally wanted his son to take another step forward. With Wenxiu's ability, a general in an army could not get through.
There was still no problem with the deputy general. When they heard that Wenpin was coming, Sima Yi and Wei Yan knew that he had made a decision and quickly ordered people to invite him to the city guard's mansion.
"See you, sir!" Wen Pin bowed first and asked with a smile: "Brother, have you handed over the memorial?"
"Memorial?" Sima Yi reacted immediately. He smiled and said: "I just met my brother yesterday. I haven't come to hand over the memorial yet. I just don't know what my brother wants!"
"Xiu'er, haven't you met the two elders yet?" Wenpin did not answer, but called out Wenxiu!
"I've met Uncle Sima and Uncle Wei!" Wen Xiu looked at Wei Yan and asked with a smile: "Uncle Wei, do you still know me?"
"You are..." I haven't seen him in nearly twenty years. The child who was seven or eight years old at the time is now over thirty years old. Although Wei Yan feels familiar, he really can't recognize him!
"I am Wenxiu, the child who practiced martial arts with you back then!" Wenxiu reported out of the house with a smile, and Wei Yan recognized him!
"Oh, little Wenxiu is already so old!" Wei Yan laughed and said, "It seems that your boy also joined the army with his elder brother. What position does he hold now?"
"The boy is not talented. He is just a military commander now. I hope my uncle will help him!" Wen Xiu bowed and smiled: "Of course, I also hope that uncle Sima will take care of him..."
"That's easy to say!" As soon as Wenxiu's words came out, Sima Yi knew Wenpin's plan. He smiled and said: "Since he is Zhongye's son, I recommend a Hengshui general. What do you think?"
