Liu Zhang's voice was stern and chilled to the bone. Wei Yan couldn't help but feel his heart tremble. He clasped the hilt of the sword in his hand with both fists and lowered his head. He bowed to Liu Zhang and said, "Wei Yan knows that he has sinned. Wei Yan will abide by his duty from now on. Please forgive me, my lord."
"Raise your head." Liu Zhang turned around and said to Wei Yan in a deep voice.
Wei Yan slowly raised his head, feeling uneasy in his heart.
"Repeat what you just said."
Wei Yan faced Liu Zhang directly and felt an inexplicable fear. Senuo opened his mouth and said after a long time: "Wei Yan, I am guilty. Wei Yan will abide by his duty from now on. Please forgive me, my lord." This was the first time for the always arrogant Wei Yan.
Talking in front of others.
Liu Zhang stared at Wei Yan closely. Wei Yan stood tremblingly. The burly man was as thin as a willow in the wind. Liu Zhang put his palm on Wei Yan's shoulder and said word by word in a low voice: "Your eyes are utilitarian eyes. I am the official."
Please remember what you said today, utilitarianism is okay, but don’t go beyond your duty.”
"Wei Yan will never forget it for the rest of his life."
Liu Zhang nodded slightly, took back the hand on his shoulder, turned around and said: "If Wu Ban fails, Baling will be yours. If everything goes well, I will be assigned another important task. Wei Yan, you are brave and resourceful.
If you don't get impatient and work hard, you will become the commander-in-chief of the three armies in the future. Don't make mistakes."
After Liu Zhang finished speaking, he went back to his tent with Fazheng. Wei Yan was still bowing in place. When he realized what he was doing, he realized that the sweat on his palms had soaked the hilt of the sword. He let out a long breath, as if he had been reborn in another life.
Picking up the sword and returning to the camp, Wei Yan couldn't help but be happy after being frightened. Although he was scolded, at least the master knew his talents. He was about to be entrusted with an important task. This was better than being treated politely by a superior in Jingzhou, but not being able to do so.
It’s much better to use your full potential.
In Baling City, Pang Ming was having a banquet with his generals. Two swordsmen danced their swords in the hall to add to the fun. The swords were coming and going, thrusting and jabbing. It was so exciting. All the generals watching applauded. A school captain raised his glass to Pang Ming and said:
"With such a hero in our army, the Major General will surely become Brazil's number one general in the future."
Pang Ming drank a glass of wine and felt dizzy. He slapped his hand on the table and said loudly: "What is the first general of Brazil? You can't speak. If I want to be the first general of Yizhou, I will be the first general of Yizhou."
My brother is about to receive the title of Yizhou Shepherd, and I am the General of Yizhou. Brazil is not a place like this, hahahaha."
All the generals changed their minds one after another. Although everyone in Brazil knew about this, they did not put it on the table. Even if they raised troops in the future, they would have to find an excuse, such as Liu Zhang was cruel and unethical. Pang Ming said this,
Wouldn't it confirm the rebellion? If the news leaks out, it will be another trouble.
But Pang Ming didn't finish. He closed his eyes, swayed his head, and patted his chest and continued: "After Fucheng Jiangzhou, many people were afraid of Liu Zhang, but I, Pang Ming, was not afraid. Do you know why?... Because Liu Zhang is stupid.
Ah, hahaha, my brother supported his plan to become an official in the Four Civil Service Examinations, and he really believed it. My brother said that Brazil would have a bumper harvest this year, and that taxes would triple. Liu Zhang really just daydreamed, and even said that he would send someone to commend his brother.
Do you think it’s funny?”
"It's funny, it's funny." The generals laughed.
"But that's not the funniest thing." Pang Ming shrank his head and said with a drunken smile: "A few days ago, Liu Zhang's youngest son fell ill and stopped taking care of political affairs. A big man ran to take care of him.
Son, this is really hilarious, hahaha.
I heard that an official was imprisoned when he went to dissuade him. Look at how stupid Liu Zhang is. If this general was so stupid and was still a bachelor, he would just find a sledgehammer and smash his head in, right?
Hahaha."
"Yes, yes." If it weren't for the fact that Pang Ming was Pang Xi's younger brother, the generals would really not be able to stand this idiot. However, they also felt that what Pang Ming said was reasonable. Liu Zhang had offended the family and was so ignorant. Pang Xi
By joining forces with Zhang Lu, both the military and the people's support, as well as the favorable weather and location, have the advantage, making it difficult to succeed.
The generals were both happy that they were about to achieve great success, but also sad that they had to follow this idiot all the time.
At this moment, a soldier came to report: "Report to the general, two people came from outside the pass, claiming to be officials of Yizhou Gongcao. They entered Brazil with a gracious decree. They took the road to Baling and asked the general to come out of the city to meet them."
"What?" Pang Ming stood up from the commander's desk, stretched out the little finger of his right hand in front of his eyes, and said in disbelief: "A small and meritorious official should actually be greeted by this general? It doesn't make sense, tell him, let him
If he goes directly, I won't have time to greet him."
"This..." The soldier froze on the spot.
A general stood up and said: "Major General, although General Pang Xi has negotiated an alliance with Zhang Lu, it will take at least ten days for the Hanzhong soldiers to reach Jiameng Pass. It is not appropriate for us to fall out with Chengdu at the moment. Please think again, Major General."
"The Major General condescended to Yu Yu and paralyzed Liu Zhang. If General Pang Xi knew about it, he would definitely praise the Major General." Another general agreed.
"Yes, yes, the young general must be the first to defeat Liu."
All the generals said to each other, Pang Ming was blown up to the sky. Pang Ming also smiled proudly, but suddenly his face turned serious: "I just didn't go to greet him. You let him go directly to the general's mansion. What did I do?"
Identity? Being able to meet him in person is already a great blessing for that little subordinate."
The generals had no choice but to wave to the soldiers, and the soldiers took their orders.
After a while, Wu Ban entered the inner hall with a powerful figure. The tall and graceful Wu Ban did not attract Pang Ming's attention. Instead, he was short, stocky and powerful. As soon as Pang Ming saw it, he burst out laughing.
He overturned the teapot, pointed at how powerful it was, and said to the generals: "Look, look, this little thing is so unique. It turns out that this is what the errands in Chengdu look like, hahaha."
"Haha." The generals had no choice but to laugh a few times along with Pang Ming.
It's so amazing. When I saw this scene, my cheeks were red and bulging. I was about to attack with the sledgehammer, but I was stopped by Wu Ban. Wu Ban said calmly: "Wu Ban, secretary of the meritocracy of Mufu, has met General Pang. If
The general smiled enough and handed over the customs clearance documents."
"Okay, okay, give it to him, give it..." Pang Ming was suddenly stunned: "What did you just say? Do you want me to hand it to you?"
Wu Ban said in a deep voice: "General, you heard it right."
"Pah." Pang Ming slammed the table and said, "It's unreasonable. As the right governor, I don't know how many levels higher than you, the secretary. Who do you think you are? You actually want me to hand you a document. How presumptuous. Come on, give it.
I’ll fork it out.”
The two sergeants immediately stepped forward, and the other generals tried to persuade him. Wu Ban took out a tiger head plaque from his arms, raised his head and said, "This is the personal order of Lord Zhou Mu. If you see me, you will see Zhou Mu. Who dares to touch me?"
?If I can't pass the test today, Lord Zhou Mu will be furious, and Zhao Wei is your example."
"You..." Pang Ming gasped in anger and stared at Wu Ban angrily, but Wu Ban ignored him.
General Baling, who was sitting at the top, hurriedly stepped forward and whispered to Pang Ming: "Young General, please be patient for a while. When we capture Chengdu, we can kill the entire Wu squad, or cut him into pieces, and return it to him."
Isn’t it just a matter of a word from the Major General?”
"Huh~~" Pang Ming let out a long breath, moved his face a few times, and shouted to a civil servant with lingering anger: "Bring it here."
The civil servant handed the document to Pang Ming. Pang Ming walked down the hall step by step, walked two steps away from Wu Ban, and threw the document to Wu Ban: "Take it."
"etc."
Pang Ming was about to walk back to the commander's platform when he was called out by Wu Ban. He thought that Wu Ban was trying to make things difficult for him. He turned around in anger, but he only saw a cold light, and with a "pop" sound, a sword pierced Pang Ming's chest.
