The soldiers on the watchtower panicked. It seemed that Wei Yan's name made them nervous. Some people came down from the watchtower and rushed into the camp. Not long after, countless torches suddenly lit up in the camp, and hundreds of soldiers rushed out. They
They were running very fast, some were wearing armor as they walked, and some were not wearing armor at all, but their panic expressions were the same, and their formations were in a mess, with no formation at all.
They came to the camp gate, but did not open it. Instead, they raised their weapons across the camp gate, as if facing a formidable enemy. Wei Yan sat on the horse, holding the reins with one hand and holding the other on his thigh, staying still.
Wei Ba felt happy but also frightened. If a burst of arrows were fired from the opposite side, it would be troublesome. He took a shield from the guard, lightly urged his horse, and rushed to Wei Yan's side. Just as he was about to throw the shield
Passing it over, Wei Ba waved his hand: "No need."
"Dad, it's better to be careful."
"Humph, even if I lend him some courage, he wouldn't dare." Wei Yan dismissed Wei Yan and pushed Wei Ba's hand away resolutely.
Wei Ba smacked his lips and didn't say anything more. He just kept his spirits high and paid careful attention to the opposite side. As long as there was any movement, he would raise the shield as fast as possible. Unknowingly, his back was soaked in cold sweat.
Wet, he also regretted his actions. It was easy to come, but hard to go. If you want to retreat from a safe distance, you must never do it.
There was another noise in the camp, and the soldiers separated to both sides. Liu Yan, half of his face still swollen, appeared at the gate of the camp surrounded by several fully armed guards. He looked at the Wei family and his son through the thick stockade wood.
His face kept changing under the flickering light of the torch.
"Wei Yan, do you want to rebel?" He shouted loudly, but his voice floated like fire. "You know that the Prime Minister's military orders are ruthless, so you should not be arrogant."
Wei Yan said calmly: "What did the general say? I heard that Quanzi was rude and broke the general's finger in the prime minister's tent, and slapped the general again. I felt really bad, so I brought Quanzi to see the general.
I want to find out what happened. If it is indeed Quanzi's fault, Wei Yan will apologize to the general and hand him over to the general for his disposal."
Liu Yan hesitated for a moment and didn't speak for a long time. Apparently he couldn't figure out whether Wei Yan's words were true or false. When he saw Wei Ba next to Wei Yan, the swelling and pain on his face became even more intense. He was so angry that he couldn't help but cursed loudly: "Wei Yan
, you have done nothing to educate your son. If you commit the following crime, what else do you have to ask? If you sincerely apologize, just break his fingers right here and slap him a few times. Otherwise, I will never be done with you."
Wei Yan said calmly: "General Hou, not to mention that the rights and wrongs of the matter are not yet clear, it is too early to punish him. Even if the responsibility lies with Quan Zi, I am afraid it is not appropriate for me to impose punishment."
Liu Yan was a little confused and shouted: "Why?"
"This is a very simple reason. First of all, he hit you, general, not me. If you want to punish him, it should be punished by the general, so as to relieve the general's anger. Secondly, if it is me who punishes you, I will be lenient.
, It’s just a false story, isn’t the general worried that I, Wei Yan, am not sincere?”
"Then... what about then?" Liu Yan was even more undecided. The two reasons Wei Yan said were indeed reasonable. If he wanted to calm down his anger, of course he would have to twist off Wei Ba's fingers with his own hands and then slap him severely.
It took a few slaps to relieve his anger. If Wei Yan did it, could he really do it? It was just a show. But when he saw the armor on Wei Yan and the shadowy figure in the distance, he felt a little guilty, for fear that he would leave the camp.
, the revenge was not fulfilled, but he was humiliated again by the Wei family father and son.
As for Fu Xing's matter, he thought about it and felt that Wei Yan probably didn't know about it yet. He asked someone to send Fu Xing to the supply camp to die because the supply camp was in charge of Wei Yan's archrival Yang Yi, and Wei Ba had just talked with him during the day.
There was a conflict between Yang Yi. Even if Yang Yi didn't help him, it was impossible to help the Wei family and his son. After the Wei family and his son got the news, they couldn't rob people from the supply camp.
Did Wei Yan really come to apologize? Liu Yan was a little undecided.
Wei Yan's eyes were keen and he saw Liu Yan's hesitant expression. He laughed, raised his right hand and waved. A dozen cavalry in the distance lined up in a row, slowly pressing towards the camp gate, exposed to the torch. "
General, don't be nervous. They are just some personal guards. I'm here to make peace, not to fight. It's fine if the general doesn't invite me into the camp. Could it be that he is afraid of these dozen people and dare not go out?
Are you going to talk about it?"
Liu Yan saw clearly that Wei Yan had only brought a dozen people with him, and felt a little relieved. He thought that although Wei Yan was the general of Zhenbei, he had guarded Hanzhong for ten years and dominated one side, but now that the prime minister had arrived in Hanzhong, Wei Yan was no longer the only one who was dominant.
Now, this is the prime minister's Chinese army camp, so he doesn't dare to mess around. It would be too shameful for him to hide in the camp and dare not go out. He asked the guards around him to be careful, and then asked people to open the camp.
Door.
Amidst the creaking sound, Liu Yan walked out of the camp gate cautiously and stood two or three steps outside the door. As long as Wei Yan made the slightest move, he could retreat at any time. Taking advantage of his courage, he shouted loudly: "Wei Yan
, let your son be punished."
Wei Yan turned over and dismounted, and gave Wei Ba a wink. Although Wei Ba was unwilling, he could only dismount and follow suit. The two came to Liu Yan, and Wei Ba could clearly hear the archers behind Liu Yan pulling their strings.
A thin layer of oily sweat appeared on his head as he thought that if they were not careful, he might belch.
This layer of oily sweat glistened under the light of the torch. Liu Yan could see it clearly and couldn't help but feel happy. He gritted his teeth and pulled the swollen and sore face again, and the anger in his heart became even stronger. He took it from the guard.
The riding whip came forward, and when he shook it vigorously, the riding whip made a crisp sound, just like his mood at the moment.
"Shu Nu, you didn't expect it to happen now, did you?" Every word of Liu Yan seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth. He raised the riding crop high and whipped it towards Wei Ba. Wei Ba's eyes tightened.
, just as he was about to launch a violent counterattack, Wei Yan, who was standing aside with his hands behind his back, suddenly took a step forward and raised his hand to hold Liu Yan's wrist.
Liu Yan was shocked, and while pulling his wrist back hard, he screamed: "Wei Yan, what do you want to do? If you dare to mess around, I will kill you."
Wei Yan held Liu Yan's wrist and smiled slightly: "General Hou, are you too hasty? Our father and son are here, and we can still run away. But before you punish my son, shouldn't you put things in order?
say clearly?"
While struggling hard, Liu Yan raised his hand that was wrapped like a cloth ball, pointed at his face that was swollen like a pig's head, and shouted in a hissing voice: "Is there anything else to say? You can't see it?"
"I already knew he was going to hit you." Wei Yan pulled lightly, and Liu Yan couldn't stop his steps and fell into Wei Yan's arms. Wei Yan pushed him in front of him, facing everyone from the camp.
The archers who surged out like a tide sneered: "What I want to ask is, why did my son hit you, and whether he deserved it or not."
Liu Yan already knew that he had been fooled again. He was so frightened that he had no mood to talk to Wei Yan about whether the beating should be done or not. He just struggled hard and shouted sternly: "Wei Yan, you dare to kidnap me?
Be careful if the Prime Minister finds out, military law will not tolerate it."
"Injuring a subordinate for no reason and not allowing anyone to treat him is called military law." Wei Yan's face sank, he stopped talking nonsense, held Liu Yan's neck with one hand, and protected Wei Ba with the other, striding back.
Go. When the archers saw Liu Yan being kidnapped, they were shocked and followed him quickly. Wei Yan turned around and shouted: "Stop, if you follow one more step, I will break his neck."
The archers all stopped with a cry. They were all Liu Yan's personal guards. According to the military order, if Liu Yan was killed, they would all be beheaded. Although they were not enemies now, they still knew who Wei Yan was.
Yes, since he dared to kidnap General Liu Yan, why didn't he dare to break his neck?
The archers looked at each other and did not dare to take another step forward. The smart officers immediately sent someone to report the emergency to the Chinese army and asked Prime Minister Zhuge to come forward to handle the matter. With their qualifications, they could not solve the matter.
Wei Yan ignored those people at all. He pulled Liu Yan back to a safe distance, got on his horse, placed Liu Yan on the horse's back, and drove away. Wei Ba followed closely. Although he was threatened by the archers, his whole body
And retreated, but he didn't feel at all relaxed. His father really acted in a military manner, simple and direct, and he actually kidnapped the dignified rear general Liu Yan in full view of the public. This matter became more and more serious, and it was already
It made him feel a little powerless.
Wei Yancai was not as nervous as Wei Ba. He led his guards and rushed all the way to the transport camp. Then he dragged Liu Yan, led by the female slave, straight to the tent where Fu Xing was. As soon as he arrived outside the tent,
Wei Ba was startled. The atmosphere in the supply camp was several times more tense than that in Liu Yan's camp. Hundreds of fully armed soldiers surrounded the tent. Wei Feng could vaguely be seen surrounded.
middle.
Yang Yi sat on a bed, calm and composed. Even when he heard the footsteps of Wei Yan and others, he did not stand up. He just glanced sideways. When he saw clearly who was being dragged around by Wei Yan, his face changed.
He showed a hint of surprise, but he still didn't stand up, he just sat up a little straighter.
Wei Yan sneered, and with a slight push, Liu Yan couldn't control his steps, and stumbled out, running until he was in front of Yang Yi before he could stand firm. Yang Yi looked at him, frowned slightly, and was about to speak.
, Wei Yan suddenly spoke.
"Yang Canjun is such a big arrogant person. Even if you don't see me as the general of Zhenbei in your eyes, you see that the general of the rear still dares to sit down. It's too disrespectful. It's really sad that the virtuous Yang Jun has a compatriot like you.
