Chapter 16: Wei Yan
Zhang Lang stood up and said in a deep voice to Zhang Ning and Dian Wei: "Let's go out and have a look." β
Zhang Ning's face was solemn, Dian Wei was full of anger, followed by a large number of Black Eagle guards and soldiers, and walked out with Zhang Lang.
Outside the woods, a young man of about twenty years of age, unexpectedly nine feet tall, with a long tiger's back and a bear's waist, a strong muscular body, and a cloth suit that had been kept intact by several well-trained soldiers, but seven or eight wounded people fell on the side. The young man's face was like a heavy jujube, his eyes were like stars, his black hair was coiled with a green scarf, and his red neck was swollen, but his expression was not panicked at all, and he was very calm.
In his hand, a tiger with a single-backed sword dance is vigorous, blocking and dismantling from east to west, and his skills are really extraordinary. There are a lot of soldiers around, although they are a very elite cavalry team under Zhang Lang, but they are obviously not very good at foot combat, so they feel that they are always fighting separately, and they can't form a strong combat force.
The young man was a little flustered when he saw that there were many soldiers pouring out of the surroundings, forming an encirclement that was neither big nor small, but it was only a momentary expression, and his face quickly became expressionless.
Zhang Lang looked at this young man with some appreciation, his martial arts were not weak, he was calm and bold, but he didn't know what his identity was.
Looking at his dress, he seems to be a local farmer, but his skills are obviously trained, could it be that he is a spy? Zhang Langhu glanced at him suspiciously, and quickly confirmed this idea in his heart. Since he is a spy, he can't let it go calmly, Zhang Lang glanced at Dian Wei, the latter's hand was already itchy, his expression was very excited, and he immediately shouted loudly: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, let me come to Lao Dian." β
The young man looked at Dian Wei's stout and burly figure, his stable lower plate, and the fierce aura on his body, and his face immediately became solemn.
Zhang Lang said softly when Dian Wei stepped forward: "Dian Wei will leave me alive." β
Dian Wei smiled and nodded in understanding.
The soldiers automatically split into two rows and let Dian Wei walk into the field.
The young man put the Pu knife across his chest and stared at Dian Wei with a wary face, and with his feelings, he naturally saw that this was not easy.
Dian Wei walked up, stretched out his finger with a big grin, pointed at the young man and raised his eyebrows, and said, "Boy, you are dead." β
The young man looked at Dian Wei with disdain, a look of indifference.
Zhang Lang was secretly surprised when he looked at the back, although he was in danger, he could still strategically despise the opponent and provoke the opponent, so as to find out the flaws, from this point alone, it can be seen that this young man has a city in his heart, and it is not simple. But I'm afraid of running into Dian Wei, no matter how clever the tactics are, if you don't have outstanding skills, it's like a clown jumping off the beam, and it won't be useful at all.
Sure enough, Dian Wei was angered by the arrogance of the other party, his eyes widened angrily, and he shouted: "What a boy who doesn't know the height of the sky, let the uncle teach you a lesson today, so that you can know what it means to be outside the world, and there are people outside the sky." β
After saying that, Dian Wei took out a pair of black iron halberds from his back.
The young man didn't care much at first, but when he saw the pair of black and half-crescent halberds, he looked at Dian Wei carefully, and then looked at the well-trained soldiers on the side, first thought about it, and then his expression changed drastically, and Chongzao's face turned pale for a while: "Dare to ask Your Excellency is Dian Wei?" β
Dian Wei was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect the other party to recognize him, but he soon laughed happily and said: "Yes, I am Dian Wei, I didn't expect that you kid still has a bit of a way, and you can recognize me uncle." Since this is the case, the uncle will let you be refreshed and reward you with a whole corpse. β
The young man's face was very ugly, he raised his head, his eyes searched for a while, when he saw Zhang Ning, his face changed, and he finally locked on Zhang Lang's body, the feeling at that moment, the expressionless and very cold young man in front of him, had a kind of lofty mountains and mountains like a sad height; The strong body invisibly exudes a deterrent power, which makes people have an urge to worship. The reason why Zhang Lang has become more and more strange is that it has a lot to do with Zhang Lang's cultivation of "Dunjia Heavenly Book", the way of the king, the soldier who drives people without a fight. That's it.
The young man's face became extremely ugly, and the sweat began to flow from his head, and the weather was already very hot, and his face was red and blue, and the green was white, and he felt nondescript and tired. He only glanced at Zhang Lang lightly, and then he felt the horror that began to diffuse in his heart, and his voice trembled a little: "The person who came is Zhang Lang, the general of Zhennan?" β
Dian Wei's face was very displeased, and he said rudely: "Presumptuous, my family's father-in-law's name is your name?" β
The young man frightened Dian Wei, but he regained some calm, and his face was no longer as ugly as just now.
Dian Wei was a little impatient, the two halberds touched each other left and right, made a jingling sound, looked at the young man like a demonstration, and shouted: "Boy, the uncle is here, you can accept your life." β
Dian Wei hadn't rushed up two steps before the young man suddenly threw his weapon on the ground and said calmly: "You don't have to fight this time, you will admit defeat in the next place." β
Obviously, no one thought that he was so simple, but Dian Wei's hands were itchy and uncomfortable, and he said angrily: "Are you fucking still not a man?" β
The young man said unhurriedly: "Yes, I am a man." β
Dian Wei was very satisfied with his answer, pointed at the Pu knife he threw on the ground with an iron halberd, and shouted: "That is to pick it up for me and fight it in a dignified manner." β
The young man shook his head and said, "I am a man with a blood surname, but I am also a self-aware person, since I am not sure of what I can do, I will not take risks easily." Now there is only one end to the fight with you, and that is death. β
The soldiers scoffed, and despised him for his cowardly behavior. You must know that this is the era of heroes and heroes, no matter who they are, the most despised is this kind of person who retreats.
Dian Wei's face was even more disdainful, and he scolded viciously: "What a pig, how can there be a person like you." The voices of the soldiers on the side also rose and fell, nothing more than scolding him for being cowardly and useless.
The young man's face remained unchanged, but his eyes were fixed on Zhang Lang.
Zhang Lang admired him very much, looked at him for a while, and finally showed a faint smile on his face.
Only then did the young man breathe a sigh of relief, as if he felt that he had fought a big war, and his mental consumption was extremely high.
Zhang Lang, accompanied by Zhang Ning, slowly stepped forward. After looking at him carefully a few more times, he praised him: "Sure enough, it's the dragon among people, you are Liu Bei's subordinate, right?" β
The young man was stunned for a moment, obviously a little surprised, but he didn't expect Zhang Lang to be so approachable, almost a world different from just now, he said more and more respectfully: "General Zhang is really powerful, and he can see through the identity of the subordinates at a glance." β
Zhang Lang smiled indifferently and said, "You are a member of Liu Bei's direct army, right?" β
The young man nodded, as if he was a little dissatisfied with the status quo, and said, "Yes, he is now the captain of General Liu's private guard. β
Zhang Lang nodded, the so-called private tribes are generally composed of recruited refugees, and are not controlled by the army, but are directly controlled by the parties, with a few hundred people and tens of thousands, and the size of the subordinates depends entirely on the strength of those in power. Of course, the stronger the strength, the stronger the part. Just like Zhang Lang's Black Eagle Guard. Now Jiangdong's troops have been strictly controlled by Zhang Lang, otherwise as long as a few civil and military attachΓ©s with powerful private troops rebel, the soldiers will move in the tens of thousands, and they will have to go around if they can't finish eating. Generally speaking, the status of the trilogy is very underground, of course, it depends on whose ministry it is. If it is Zhang Lang's part, it is a rising tide, and going out to fart is also a fragrant one. Now Liu Bei is not very powerful, and his subordinates are certainly not majestic.
Zhang Lang nodded to show that he understood, and said slowly: "Then where are you going on this trip and what are you going to do?" β
The young man looked at Zhang Lang and pondered for a while, he knew that his life and death had come, and if he only said the word "no", he believed that Zhang Lang would kill him. On the other hand, if he really said it, it was the only choice to take refuge in Zhang Lang, but now he really can't see through Zhang Lang's meaning, and I don't know if he will take him in. After thinking about it, in the end, he could only be ruthless, as if he was letting go, and gritted his teeth and said: "This time, I went to Chaling County on the order of Lord Liu, to inform General Huo, and asked him to send troops to reinforce Ancheng County, so that the attack in Yichun County could be slowed down first." β
"Oh." Zhang Lang groaned and thought deeply. It seems that Liu Bei really started to act according to the plan, and asked Huo Jun to increase his troops in Ancheng County, so that the pressure on Yichun County will be greatly reduced, as long as there are no big mistakes, there should be no big problem in holding on. And there is also a implicit meaning in this, the young man is compromising with himself, that is, he has the intention of turning to himself, as long as he wants to recruit him, he can immediately become his subordinate.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Zhang Lang's mouth and asked, "What's your name?" β
"In the Lower Weiyan." The young man was happy. also understood that Zhang Lang had the meaning of being a subordinate, and the stone in his heart finally fell.
"Wei Yan?" Zhang Lang almost jumped up, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed in surprise.
Wei Yan was a little puzzled, he didn't understand how Zhang Lang could have such an expression, and said with a little confusion on his face: "It's exactly below." β
Zhang Lang blurted out without thinking about it: "Okay, you will follow me in the future." β
Wei Yan was overjoyed, there was really no better ending than this.
Zhang Lang couldn't control his excitement in his heart, it is true that Wei Yan is a very controversial figure in history. But there is one thing that cannot be obscured, he is an important member of Liu Shu's group. Although he is the same as Guan Yu, he is nine feet long, his face is like a heavy jujube, his eyes are like Langxing, and he is a leader in martial arts. But his experience is far less smooth than Guan Yu's, and his status is not as prominent as his. When he was with Huang Zhong, he was brave and courageous, but he did not have the reputation of "loyal and brave veteran" like Huang Zhong. On the contrary, with the spread of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", women and children of old and young people all know that "Wei Yan has a backbone in the back of his head", and the notoriety is so notorious that it cannot but be regarded as a tragedy.
According to the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Book of Shu. Wei Yanchuan", Liu Bei is the most important general except for Guan Yu, and his status is even above Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and others. In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219), Liu Bei seized Hanzhong, became the king of Hanzhong, prepared to move to Chengdu, and sent a general to guard Hanzhong. Hanzhong is the barrier of Yizhou, and it is also the base for the Northern Expedition of Liu Shu Group, and its status is very important. At that time, Liu Bei's first general, Guan Yu, guarded Jingzhou, and everyone thought it was Zhang Fei, and Zhang Fei also thought he was Xu. However, Liu Bei promoted Wei Yan as the general of Zhenyuan, leading Hanzhong to defend it, and the whole army was shocked. It can be seen how much Liu Bei values Wei Yan. In the fifth year of Jianxing (227), Zhuge Liang launched a large-scale northern expedition, with Wei Yan as the front of the governor, leading the prime minister Sima, and Liangzhou Assassin Shi, while Zhao Yun was the general of Zhendong and followed Zhuge Liang to guard Hanzhong. Obviously, at this time, Wei Yan had become the first general of the Shu Kingdom, and his role was above Zhao Yun. It is also nonsense to say that Zhuge Liang is not important to Wei Yan.
In the more than 20 years of disputes between the Three Kingdoms, Wei Yanzhi shouldered a heavy responsibility, was born and died, and made great achievements for the Liu Shu Group. As a historical figure, Wei Yan has been alone for many years, not only good at raising soldiers, brave and brave, but also resourceful and decisive, wise and brave, and indeed a great general. Although Zhao Yun is loyal and brave, he has been following Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang for a long time, and has never been alone, it should be said that Wei Yan's role should be above Zhao Yun.
Wei Yan is a strong, fierce, and somewhat conceited character, who has the advantages of having the courage to do things and is not afraid of difficulties, but also has the shortcomings of being unruly and doing whatever he wants, and it is these advantages that have made him and it is these shortcomings that have ruined him.
With the five tiger generals of Shu passing away one after another, Zhuge Liang struggled to support the overall situation in Shuzhong, Wei Yan became the only remaining general among the founding fathers of Shuzhong, and his status was getting higher and higher. In the end, the two of them were like fire and water, Wei Yan wanted to kill Yang Yi many times, but he didn't succeed, as a result, Zhuge Liang died, Yang Yi commanded the army, after Wei Yan broke off, how could he be convinced by his self-exalted surname? In a daze, he actually forgot about the current enemy and wanted to separate the high and low with Yang Yi, but as a result, the soldier's heart was torn apart, not only defeated in the seizure of power, but also forcibly deducted the name of an anti-thief, half a world's prestige, and ruined in one fell swoop, which cannot but be said to be regrettable.
Although Wei Yan had the intention of seizing power, he did not have the slightest intention of treason, which is clearly recorded in history.
Of course, there are too many unpredictable and difficult things in the history books, and Zhang Lang doesn't dare to believe the above very much, but even if Wei Yan is really arrogant in the back, he can suppress him, not to mention Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Tai Shici, Gao Shun and other famous generals of the same generation or half a generation.
Zhang Lang said that he had won Wei Yan for nothing, and he was very happy with his old heart.
