The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 235 Recruiting Wei Yan
"Pity……"

Hearing Gan Ning's words, Wei Tao immediately shook his head. Thinking about it, Huang Zhong is still in the pain of losing his son, and it will take several years to gradually heal the wound, at least for now, it is useless.

"My lord, don't be sorry. Since my lord wants to recruit talents, I'd rather have talent to recommend my lord! Although he is not a warrior on the water, his ability is probably not inferior to Gan Ning's, and his troops are also rare elites in Jingzhou. If the lord can recruit him, it will definitely be a helping hand."

"Oh? Who is it? I don't know where it is now?"

Wei Tao was overjoyed when he heard that, since Gan Ning praised his martial prowess, then naturally he won't be far behind.

"This man is now in Fancheng. His name is Wei Yan. His name is Wenchang. When he died in Yiyang, he was the first army in Jingzhou. He was brave and staunch. It's just that he has an arrogant personality, and he doesn't get along with everyone in Jingzhou. I offended my boss, so I was suppressed by others, and I felt dissatisfied, if the lord can see and recruit him, he will return!"

Wei Yan?

Hearing this name, Wei Tao was also slightly taken aback. This is a rather complicated character, and even the saying of "the back of his head" made him a villain.

Wei Tao naturally does not believe that there is a rebellion in the back of his head, but if he wants to recruit someone, Wei Tao still has some hesitation in his heart.

After all, believe it or not, but with such a 'lesson from the past', it is not impossible for Wei Tao not to hesitate.

"Xingba, I don't know what kind of character Wei Yan is?"

Fortunately, at this time, Zhou Yu asked Gan Ning, he knew that Wei Tao did not care much about some things, but he knew that he valued human temperament.

"If it only refers to arrogance, it's fine. My lord still has many good players under his command. Dian Wei and Zhao Yun are not brave generals. They can suppress their arrogance. However, if their character is unbearable, it's fine if they have other minor problems. I'm just afraid to worry. It will rebel against the big man."

To poach other people's generals in this way, one naturally worries that the general's character is not good, and he will be poached instead.

"Haha...Mr. Gongjin, don't worry. I know about Wei Yan. He is brave and strives to be the first. The reason why he complains about Liu Biao is because of Liu Biao's injustice. If Liu Biao treats things fairly, Wei Yan will definitely be loyal to his master. As for his arrogance, the lord's bravery is enough to overwhelm him!"

Hearing Gan Ning's words, Wei Tao felt relieved.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, in the previous life, there were many people who reversed the case for Wei Yan, saying that he did not actually intend to betray the Shu Kingdom, but that he was arrogant and unwilling to obey others.

If so, Wei Yan is really useful.

Think about it, even if it was Sima Yi, did he have any wolf ambitions when Cao Cao was still around?
Even if the eagle sees the wolf, so what, Cao Cao dares to reuse him. He is not afraid that you have no virtue, but he is afraid that you have no talent. This is Cao Cao's way of employing people.

Wei Tao is not yet so harsh, but he is also not so harsh.

"I don't know if Xingba is familiar with that Wei Yan?"

After thinking clearly in his mind, Wei Tao immediately asked.

"My lord, I've only seen this person from a distance, and I haven't had any dealings with him. If my lord wants to recruit him, I'm afraid I have to go there in person."

Gan Ning could only smile wryly and shake his head.

"Fortunately, if the lord really wants to seize the Jingzhou ship, then you need to make careful preparations and spend some time. It's just for the lord to go back and forth."

"That's fine."

Faced with this, Wei Tao can only respond in this way, but seeing Wei Yan is not as easy as Gan Ning.

Wei Yan was also suppressed, but Wei Yan was different from Gan Ning.

Since Wei Yan was the first to enter the camp in Jingzhou, even if Wei Yan was to be suppressed, others would not dare to do too much. After all, for them, if Wei Yan was completely suppressed, wouldn't they have to let themselves replace them?
It is indeed the most glorious thing to be the first to ascend, but it also has the greatest casualties. If it is not necessary, who would want it?
So although he was not welcomed, Wei Yan received much better treatment than Gan Ning, but it was even worse compared to his achievements.

Coupled with the frequent wars in the north in recent years, and the fact that everyone knows that Liu Biao is a 'household dog', the fighting has become less and less, so it is not impossible to see Wei Yan.

But in the end Wei Tao did not go there as a merchant, but asked Gan Ning to send someone to lead him.

Gan Ning is still a general of Jingzhou now, and with his invitation card, Wei Yan will not disappear.

"You are not ordinary people, who are you? You are not among the generals of Jingzhou!"

But to Wei Tao's surprise, Wei Yan said directly when he saw himself and others.

"I, Wei Yan, can't be considered a famous person in Jingzhou. If you say which one of you is specially sent to see me, I really don't know what to do. I, Wei Yan, can't speak in Jingzhou. Don't you Was it sent by Zhang Xiu? Now Zhang Xiu can't resist Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's pincer attack in Wancheng, and wants to go south to seize Jingzhou as his own foundation? If this is the case, it would be too small to underestimate me, a Jingzhou scholar. .I, Wei Yan, have no interest in being the one who betrays the Lord just before the battle!"

Since Li Cui's defeat, Zhang Ji led people south to occupy Wancheng. After Zhang Ji died, Wancheng was in Zhang Xiu's hands. Now Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are fighting each other, but no one can take care of him.

So in Wei Yan's view, if someone came to him, it would probably be sent by Zhang Xiu. He blocked Zhang Xiu from going south several times, and Zhang Xiu knew his own strength.

As for the others, Wei Yan did not believe that he had such a great reputation.

However, Zhang Xiu was not the master in Wei Yan's mind, so he refused very firmly, and he could even say that not giving Wei Tao a chance to speak out meant saying the words of refusal.

"Hehe...Wei Wenchang, we have nothing to do with Zhang Xiu's subordinates."

Wei Tao smiled, looked at the puzzled Wei Yan and said.

"But I did come here for you. I am Wei Tao, Wei Ziyu. I don't know if I have heard of General Wen Chang?"

"The second general in the world?"

Wei Yan's expression was quite strange, and he looked at Wei Tao with a little more judgment in his eyes.

It has to be said that the name of the second general in the world is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people that now when he hears Wei Tao's name, he just thinks about it.

"Hehe... I also understand why I came here. I heard that the Wenchang hero is useless, so I came here to invite you. If you want to come to Wenchang, you also know that I am a big man who often suffers from aliens. Although I have defeated Wuhuan, Wuhuan has declined. Then the Xianbei will surely rise, and the Xiongnu will watch over them, if there are no heroes to defend them, there will be even more disasters."

Wei Tao straightened his expression, and then said.

"I heard that Wen Chang is brave and resourceful. If he can put his mind on protecting the territory of our great Han, it will be no problem to be named a marquis and a general in the future, and it is inevitable that his name will be left in history."

When Wei Yan heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
