When Guo Xiu returned to Luoyang and returned to the Wild King, the situation changed significantly again...
Wei Ba had already conquered Jizhou, and the one who received Guo Xiu was Pei Hui, the former governor of Jizhou.
Looking at Pei Hui's contemptuous face, Guo Xiu was angry without any trouble.
"Wenxi, the Pei family is so quick to change their ruling when they see the wind." Guo Xiu sneered: "I wonder if you ever thought about having a family member from Luoyang when the envoy changed his banner?"
Pei Hui was a little unhappy at first, and when he saw Guo Xiu dared to mock him, he was even more angry. "I feel ashamed that I failed to send the news back to Luoyang in time, which has implicated my family. However, Guo Jun still doesn't need it.
Fuck me, your Guo family may not be less trouble than my Pei family.”
Guo Xiu wanted to speak but stopped. He didn't think too much, only thinking that Pei Hui was saying that Cao Wei was about to collapse, and the Guo family, as a relative of the outside world, would inevitably be affected. He had no meaning to argue with Pei Hui.
Pei Hui was not interested in getting involved with him, so he asked him about his purpose, threw him aside, turned around and reported to Wei Ba.
Wei Ba was talking to Yu Si, and Wei Wu, Gu Cheng and others stood aside, smiling and chatting and laughing. Two days ago, they just received the news that Sima Yi, regardless of Deng Ai's army, suddenly led 30,000 infantry and cavalry to a long journey.
Running, he blocked Jiang Wei in Hangu with Wang Ling. Although Jiang Wei has not been killed yet, he thought that he had no reinforcements and his troops were limited to a narrow place, and he was famous for his sinisterness.
Sima Yi and Wang Ling, who is sophisticated, probably have no chance to escape.
This news came in time. If Jiang Wei was trapped, he would never cause any major storms. There would be no major bloodshed in the political situation in Guanzhong. Wei Ba has no definite judgment on Sima Yi's actions, but
He believed that Sima Yi's IQ was probably not just about relieving the threat from one direction for Cao Wei.
Even if Sima Yi had this idea, Wei Ba had nothing to worry about. Anyway, Jiang Wei was never his ally. Even if Sima Yi and Jiang Wei joined forces, it would not stop him from unifying the world.
The general situation has come true, and even a smart person will not do stupid things like a mantislap in a car, especially aristocratic family like Sima Yi that values family interests very seriously. The scholars and officials can sacrifice their lives for their country, just like Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei, but they will not
Someone took the entire family to be buried with him.
In other words, no matter what Sima Yi had, the internal situation in Shu Han is now clear and can be consistent with the outside world.
"I inform General Lu that after the autumn harvest, I will prepare to attack Luoyang." Wei Ba waved his hand and said with a smile: "This year, you can eat new rice from Jizhou, and you don't have to transport it from Jingzhou thousands of miles away."
Everyone laughed.
Pei Hui walked in. When Wei Ba saw it, he nodded in appreciation: "Wenxiu, although Jizhou has been very nervous in recent years, its people's livelihood is pretty good. If you have made contributions to the governance, the world will be pacified in the future, and you will have a great place to use it."
Pei Hui was stunned and then breathed a sigh of relief. Wei Ba's words opened a golden road in front of him, and he no longer had to worry about his future. As a surrendered general, and he surrendered after siege, he could not be as good as
Chen Tai held an important position like that and did not even keep his Jizhou governor. He just became an optional marching chief clerk. In fact, it was very embarrassing. However, after learning about the situation in Jizhou, Wei Ba realized his reason.
He probably regretted his previous decision, so he used this sentence to apologize to him.
Pei Hui felt that this was enough.
"General, Guo Xiu is here again." Pei Hui presented the draft contract brought by Guo Xiu.
Wei Ba took it, but did not look at it. Instead, he exchanged a look with Yu Si and smiled at the same time. He thought for a while: "Let him come in."
Pei Hui nodded, turned around and informed Guo Xiuru to see him.
Guo Xiu was very surprised. He thought he would have to pass by Yu Si again, but he didn't expect to meet Wei Ba himself so easily. It's just a pity that the meeting alone may be very small. There must be many people in Wei Ba's tent now, and there are no assassinations.
Chance.
Guo Xiu followed Pei Hui into the big tent, but unexpectedly found that there were not many people in the tent. Wei Ba was sitting in the middle, Yu Si sat on the side, and the other side was sitting at the young general I had seen last time, whispering to Wei Ba.
Seeing Guo Xiu come in, Wei Ba tugged the corner of his mouth, picked up the contract and threw it back. When Guo Xiu saw that the contract was intact and obviously had not been opened, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Master, what does this mean?"
"I said, let you get faster, but you just don't listen. Now that Jizhou has already bought it, the conditions will change again."
Guo Xiu's face turned dark. The capital for negotiation was reduced by another piece, and it was a very important piece. He had no capital anymore.
"I'll talk about the contract later." Wei Ba smiled and said, "I want to ask you to draw a picture."
Guo Xiu was stunned and then ecstatic. He was so desperate that he could find a place without any effort. The opportunity for portraits that he had been waiting for so long suddenly came when he thought it was the most impossible. It seemed that the sky had
It’s worth my hard work.
"The honor of the foreign ministers is so great." Guo Xiu suppressed the joy in his heart, and made his tone as calm as possible without revealing flaws. "I dare to ask the king, should he draw it now, or..."
"Is it OK to draw now?" Wei Ba's smile even more: "Would Guo Xiu just arrived from Luoyang, would he be too tired?"
"No, no." Guo Xiu said repeatedly: "Then the foreign minister goes to get the utensils, please wait and wash up?"
Wei Ba waved his hand and signaled Guo Xiu to go back soon. Guo Xiu quickly got up and left. Looking at Guo Xiu's back, Wei Ba sneered: "It seems that although the people of Xizhou are brave and powerful, they have to use these methods,
It was a little bit bad after all."
"Yes, not everyone has the same scheming as Jia Wenhe." Yu Si smiled and said, "It has always been a way to cause disaster."
Wei Bashou agreed and asked someone to invite Yinfan. After a while, Guo Xiu quickly returned to the big tent with the utensils of the portrait, but saw two more people in the tent, a scholar-like man sitting in Yu Si.
Beside him, another young man with a restrained manner stood by his hands.
"King, you need to be quiet when painting..."
"It's not for me, it's for him." Wei Ba pointed to the young man and said casually: "Guo Xiaoxian, do you think it looks familiar?"
Guo Xiu didn't pay attention to the young man at first. After hearing what Wei Ba said, he looked at it seriously. When he saw it, an ominous cloud suddenly appeared in his heart.
This man does look familiar. He must have never seen this man before, but his face is somewhat similar to that of Cao Fang, the emperor of Luoyang.
Guo Xiu's palms were cold. He put the utensils of the portrait on the table, his hands were lowered below the table, and slowly touched the short knife tied to his arm. He walked towards the boy and looked him up and down.
Then he turned to Wei Ba and smiled and said, "Master, I don't know this person."
While he was talking, he approached Wei Ba calmly, preparing to get closer and then suddenly attacked. As soon as he took two steps, Wei Wu came up and punched him in the face without saying a word.
Although he was prepared, he was not Wei Wu's opponent. He deliberately looked shocked, avoided sideways, rushed towards Wei Ba, and screamed: "King, save me!" At the same time, he drew out his short knife.
It stabbed Wei Ba's chest silently.
"Of course I will save you!" Wei Ba looked at Guo Xiu, who was gritting his teeth and doing his best, and did not move.
Seeing that the short sword was about to reach the body, Wei Wu turned around and kicked Guo Xiu hard on the waist. Guo Xiu knew that this was the matter had been exposed, and this was the last chance. He could only take a gamble, and there was no room for spare energy.
Resist Wei Wu's attack. He was kicked by Wei Wu and flew up three or five steps away. He fell to the ground with a plop, and didn't know where the short sword in his hand flew.
"Overbial power!" Wei Wu clapped his hands and looked at him disdainfully. "Bind it up and search for his body!"
The two martial soldiers rushed forward and without saying a word, they controlled Guo Xiu, untied the scabbard from his arm, and tied it up. As martial soldiers who were responsible for protecting Wei Ba's life safety, they hated this the most.
The assassin was very fierce and tied up very tightly, which made Guo Xiu unable to move. He even had difficulty breathing, and the pain was so painful that he was sweating.
A martial soldier picked up the short sword and sent it to Wei Ba with the scabbard. Wei Ba took the sword and glanced at it, curled his lips: "Poison, assassinate, Guo Xiaoxian, you are really upright."
Guo Xiu bit his lip tightly and said nothing. He knew that he had failed. He only hoped to take this matter to him and not cause trouble to Empress Dowager Guo or the Guo family.
Wei Ba waved his hand, Yin Fan walked to Guo Xiu, opened a portrait, and smiled: "You didn't know the person just now, you must know this person."
Guo Xiu glanced at it and couldn't help but take a breath of air: "Do you do some careful work in the palace?"
Yinfan smiled and said, "Why do you have to do it in the palace? Don't forget that he grew up in Liaodong before entering Luoyang, not to mention that he has such a cousin left in Liaodong. You are too careless.
It’s like this big thing, don’t you send someone to Liaodong to check it out?”
Guo Xiu's face was ashamed and was silent for a while: "That's right, we are not careful and cannot blame others."
Yin Fan immediately caught Guo Xiu's grammatical problem and asked: "You said, who else knows about this except you and Empress Dowager Guo?"
Guo Xiu glanced at Yinfan and smiled bitterly: "If you want to ask something out of my mouth, I advise me not to dream anymore. This thing was done by me from beginning to end, and I would like to do it with anyone else."
It doesn't matter."
"I don't plan to ask about Luoyang, and there is no need to ask." Wei Ba interrupted their conversation: "Tell me about Jiang Wei. I'll make it clear. I'll give you a whole body and leave a way out for the Guo family.
.I can't explain clearly..." He paused, his tone was calm, but there was an indescribable coldness. "You will be buried with the Jiang family in Tianshui."
Guo Xiu's eyes tightened. Before he could speak, Yin Fan laughed: "Five days ago, Jiang Wei was already blocked in Hangu by Sima Yi. What else do you expect from him?"
Guo Xiu held his breath and was completely lost. After a long time, he sighed: "God's will is not my ability." After that, he opened his eyes wide, stared at Wei Ba fiercely, opened his mouth wide, and tried his best to stick out his tongue, and
Bite it down.
Seeing this, Yinfan hurried forward and reached out to pinch Guo Xiu's mouth, but he was still one step late.
The blood slowly turned into black blood, and half of the tongue fell out.
