Zhuge Liang didn't say anything on the surface, but he was extremely disapproving in his heart, just like the land east of the river, there is the danger of Kei Pass, and the troops in the pass are not a few, but they are captured by the Bingzhou army in one day, what a strong military force this is, it has gone beyond the scope of ordinary people's cognition, even if Li Dao Guo Yan and others have tens of thousands of elite soldiers, what can they do, these years of burning and killing and robbing, those armies are still the original Xiliang army, it can be said that the Bingzhou army has a great deterrent to the princes of the world.

It was Wei Yan who was ordered to guard Dayang, and now in Bingzhou, Wei Yan is also a big person, personally climbed to the head of the city to attack Wenxi, so that Wei Yan's reputation was greatly enhanced, and now he is in charge of Dayang's affairs, and there are 3,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, all of which make Wei Yan a little complacent, thinking that at the beginning, he was just a captain in Jingzhou, and there were only a thousand people in his hands, but now he has become a general under the rule of the Marquis of Jin, leading a single army and horses, which is already the biggest honor for a general, the people of the past, Whoever saw him disrespectfully addressed the general on the phone.

Recently, there are many businessmen who have gone to Hedong from all over the country, and there are even envoys from Xuzhou and Yanzhou.

"General, the envoy of Jingzhou is just outside the city." The adjutant hurried over and whispered.

Wei Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, "Jingzhou envoy, can you ask who it is?" ”

"It's Cai Mao, the governor of Jingzhou's navy." The lieutenant said in a low voice.

"Hmph, what can the governor of Jingzhou Navy do, this general is still the general of Bingzhou, search carefully, don't let Xizuo enter Bingzhou, the lord was assassinated in Xiangyang, if something happens here, it will be difficult to escape the blame." Wei Yan said coldly.

Everyone hurriedly clasped their fists and said, but anything that involved Lu Bu was a big deal for them, and what happened to Lu Bu in Jingzhou was not a secret to the generals of the Bingzhou army, although they didn't discuss it in private, they had already remembered the people of Jingzhou in their hearts, otherwise the deputy general would not have told Wei Yan so excitedly.

The soldiers who were checking the passers-by at the city gate saw Wei Yan leading a cadre of lieutenant generals to come, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and the atmosphere at the city gate instantly became solemn.

Wei Yan said: "Strictly check pedestrians, and do not let fine work mix into Hedong." ”

"Whoa." After everyone got the order, the investigation became more detailed, as for the careful work mixed in, it is inevitable, even if the inventory is strict, the means of detailed work are also diverse, but all they have to do is to carry out the order.

"What's going on up ahead?" Inside the carriage, Cai Mao felt that the speed of the convoy was much slower than that, and asked out loud.

"General, the city gate is checking passers-by." The lieutenant said truthfully.

Cai Mao frowned slightly, and from the behavior of the Dayang defenders, he felt a trace of a bad breath: "Do you know who the guards in Dayang City are?" ”

"The guard in Dayang City is Wei Yan." Adjutant said.

"Wei Yan?" Cai Mao felt that the name sounded somewhat familiar.

"General, Wei Yan was originally a captain of the Jingzhou Army, and when he was fighting against Yuan Shu, he was rescued by the Marquis of Jin and followed the Marquis of Jin to Bingzhou, and now he is the general of the Bingzhou Army." The lieutenant has obviously put a lot of effort into it.

Cai Mao snorted coldly: "It's just a traitor seeking glory." "For those who have changed camps in this way, no matter who hears it, they will not have a good face.

There were generals in the city who participated in the investigation, and the speed was extremely slow, and when it came to the convoy in Jingzhou, it was almost noon.

"Take a close look at every carriage." Wei Yan ordered.

After receiving the order, the generals in the army stepped forward one after another.

Cai Mao's lieutenant came to Wei Yan's side quietly, "General Wei, we are envoys of the imperial court, and it is also important to go to Jinyang, can we be accommodating?" ”

Wei Yan snorted coldly: "This general was ordered by the Marquis of Jin to guard Dayang, how can he abolish the public for personal reasons. After speaking, he refused the money bag that the deputy general had handed over vaguely.

Looking at Wei Yan with a straight face, the deputy general had an ugly look on his face, and the team of imperial envoys could be behind him, and Wei Yan didn't seem to want to give face at all.

"The general was also a general of the Jingzhou Army in the past, why did he embarrass the people of Jingzhou?" Adjutant said.

Wei Yan seemed to be moved by the adjutant general's words, and said in silence for a long time: "It's not that General Ben doesn't care about the old feelings, but it's his duty. ”

The deputy general, who returned in vain, hurriedly explained the matter to Cai Mao.

There are 300 soldiers who came with Cai Mao, these are the elite of the Jingzhou army, not only to protect the envoy's team, but also to show the prestige of the imperial court, if it is in Dayang for the general of the state army to be embarrassed after the matter spreads, it will be a great damage to the face of the imperial court, as for Lu Bu will ask the generals under his command because of this, it is completely impossible in Cai Mao's opinion, Kuai Yue's experience in Jinyang was worse, but he has never heard of the general of the state army being blamed.

Cai Mao got out of the carriage and walked towards the soldiers who came to check the convoy.

"I am Cai Mao, the governor of Jingzhou's navy, and I came to merge with the state by the order of the saint." Cai Mao said coldly.

With the appearance of Cai Mao, the Jingzhou army that came casually seemed to have found the backbone, and they erected swords and guns one after another.

However, the soldiers of the Bingzhou Army who came by order did not seem to hear Cai Mao's shouting, and still came towards the carriage, for them, they only had to carry out the order, as for the identity of the other party, it did not have much impact on them, all they had to do was to obey.

Wei Yan walked out of the crowd and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Cai Dudu, and I can't salute because I am under armor." ”

"Wei Yan, you ......" The deputy general was furious when he saw Wei Yan's attitude so arrogant.

Cai Mao coughed lightly and stepped forward and said: "The personal relationship between the governor of Bendu and the Marquis of Jin is also not bad, when the Marquis of Jin was in Xiangyang, he also lived in Cai's mansion. ”

Seeing Cai Mao's weakness, the smile on Wei Yan's face deepened, in the past, Cai Mao was a behemoth in his eyes, the governor of the navy, that was the top figure in Jingzhou, and it was not easy to see the previous side.

At this moment, a general whispered in Wei Yan's ear.

Wei Yan Zhengse said: "Governor Cai, this general is also ordered to check the passers-by, and the governor also knows that there are many businessmen who have gone to Bingzhou recently, and if there is a small person mixed in, it will be difficult for this general to explain to the Marquis of Jin." ”

Cai Mao knew that it must be Wei Yan who knew that there were people from Shuijing Villa in the convoy, and the Marquis of Jin was embarrassed in Shuijing Villa, and soon after he walked out of Shuijing Villa, he encountered assassins, and it would be strange if the generals in the army let go of the convoy so easily.

Cai Mao frowned and pondered, and said slowly: "The people that General Wei is planning, the governor of Bendu also knows a little bit about it, and they are all scattered. ”

Wei Yan smiled slightly, stepped forward and said in a low voice: "In this way, thank you Cai Dudu for your understanding." ”
