Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 22 Confronting the Great General

Back in the study, he flipped through Cai Yan for a while, and then sent Cai Yan away.

As soon as Cai Yan left, Liu Wei couldn't wait to open the account book, which was the capital for future conscription.

Just after reading about it, Liu Wei's heart was so excited that he had already earned 7 taels of gold in just five months, but Liu Wei also knew that these two things had become popular in the past few months, and they also It means that high-grade liquor can continue to be sold in the future.

Just as Liu Wei was immersed in the joy of money, a report came from outside the door: "Master Cao, Mr. Cao is here!"

Mr. Cao?Which Mr. Cao?Just when Liu Wei was puzzled, a burst of hearty laughter came from outside the door, "Brother Ziyan, congratulations!"

Liu Wei looked up and saw that it was Cao Heizi.He also waved his hand and said, "Brother Meng De has beaten the younger brother, it's just luck!"

"Oh, how can you say that, my virtuous brother has made great achievements, even compared to Na Wei and Huo, he is not inferior to him." Cao Cao complimented.

"Hehe, I don't dare to compare with the champions. What's the matter with Brother Meng De?" Liu Wei looked at Cao Cao and asked with a smile.

"Now, my virtuous brother has made such a great contribution, of course the general wants to meet you, a great hero."

"Also, I heard that Liaodong and Liaoxi are places of bitter cold, why did His Majesty seal you here?" Cao Cao was a little surprised.

Liu Wei glanced at Cao Cao and said in his heart: "In rich places, Liu Hong still keeps money to sell. Also, the emperor has always been jealous of heroes. How could he treat me sincerely? Speaking of which, I am just a It's just a pawn against the general!" But on the surface, he didn't show it, "Your Majesty must have a reason for doing this, and I will just wait for my subjects to follow your Majesty's orders."

"Well, what my brother said is very true, you must come to the dinner tonight!" Cao Cao asked Liu Wei again.

"The general invites you to a banquet, how dare I not go. Brother Meng De is overthinking."

Liu Wei greeted Cao Cao for a while, and Cao Cao left.

A person came out from behind the screen in the guest room, and the person said: "There is no such thing as a good banquet. If the general wants to serve He Jin, he can go there unprepared. If he doesn't want to lose his military power, he must do it first." Get ready." After speaking, the man walked back into the dark.

Hearing this, Liu Wei fell into deep thought.To go or not to go?
After a while, Liu Wei made a decision, go!It's a blessing, not a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided.If you don't go, you will not only offend General He Jin, but also make people think you are cowardly and dare not go.

In the evening, Liu Wei wore a soft armor inside and a white gown outside.Holding a lupine in his hand, he got into the carriage.Dian Wei was also wearing soft armor and a dark iron sword on his waist. He led a group of guards on foot to escort Liu Wei towards the General's Mansion.As soon as Liu Wei set off, he saw a person outside Liu Wei's mansion running towards the palace quickly...

General's House
"Oh, Marquis Wuyuan is here. The general has an order saying that Marquis Wuyuan will be invited as soon as possible. Lord Marquis, please come inside." The housekeeper of the General's Mansion at the door saw Liu Wei got off the carriage and hurried forward to greet him with a smile.

But when he saw the soldiers behind Liu Wei, he couldn't help frowning: "Here, these people..."

"Oh, you wait here, Ziman just accompany me in, you just wait here."

"Here."

Liu Wei took Dian Wei into the General's Mansion, and immediately saw two people he didn't want to see... the Yuan brothers.

"Hehe, isn't this the great hero Liu Houye?" Yuan Shu shouted as if seeing a new world.

"Who am I? It turns out to be the second son!" Especially the word two, Liu Wei specially emphasized the pronunciation.

"Hmph, it's just bad luck. Can you live tonight?" Yuan Shu was a little angry, because Yuan Shu hated people to say that he was the second son, because in his eyes, Yuan Shao was just a concubine. Yes, he is not the eldest son, but he is the eldest son.

"Huh?" When Dian Wei heard this, his copper bell-like eyes immediately widened. He was about to step forward to teach Yuan Shu a lesson, but Liu Wei stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Gaolu, speak carefully." Yuan Shao had always looked calm, but when he heard Yuan Shu's words, he immediately reprimanded him.

"Hmph, I can say whatever I like, you don't care about it." Yuan Shu was a little annoyed by Liu Wei's words, and when Yuan Shao reprimanded him, he immediately exploded, turned around, shook his sleeves and left.Yuan Shao glanced at Liu Wei, then turned and left.

"Hehe, this Yuan Shao is really confusing. Let's go and see what tricks He Jin has."

Liu Wei walked into the living room, many guests saw Liu Wei coming in, they immediately stopped talking and laughing and all looked at Liu Wei.

The scene was suddenly awkward.

"Um, haha, Wu Yuanhou is here, take your seat quickly," He Jin stood up and broke the embarrassing situation.

"Thank you, General!" Liu Wei clasped his fists at He Jin, and walked towards the back seat.

"Wu Yuanhou, the old man is hosting a banquet for you today, it's not right for you to sit in the back." He Jin saw that Liu Wei was hiding from him and wanted to go to the back, so he immediately stood up to stop him.

"Oh, ah, yes, yes, yes," Liu Wei had to come to He Jin and sit down.

After drinking for three rounds, Liu Wei saw that He Jin was half drunk, and kept looking at himself.I thought in my heart that it was bad, this old man seemed to be planning to attack me.

Sure enough, He Jin stood up, walked in front of Liu Wei, raised his wine bottle and said, "Since Marquis Wuyuan has returned from victory, shouldn't this military power be handed over?" He Jin stared closely at Liu Wei.

"Back to the general, without the emperor's order, I dare not hand over the military power at will." Liu Wei replied sonorously.

"Oh, it's just that this general is the one who controls the world's soldiers and horses. Outside the capital, there is an army that is not under my control. In case the soldiers of the army rebel..." He Jin elongated his accent.He squinted his eyes and looked at Liu Wei, his eyes were full of viciousness.He held the wine bottle tightly in his hand.

"General, these are all troops defending the country and fighting against the Huns. Rebellion? That doesn't exist. Besides, they are all brothers who followed me through life and death. If they change generals rashly, I'm afraid they will not accept it!" Liu Not to be outdone, Wei looked at He Jin.

He Jin turned around and returned to his seat, put down the wine bottle, and touched the long sword in his waist: "In that case..."

Before the work was finished, He Jin suddenly saw Dian Wei standing behind Liu Wei looking at his hand stretching out to the saber with an unkind expression.Asked: "Who is behind Wu Yuan Hou?"

"Back to the general, this is Dian Wei, the general of the waiting department." Liu Wei replied.

"It's Dian Wei, Dian Ziman, who beheaded several Xiongnu generals." He Jin asked hastily.

"I'm here, I don't want the general to know that I'm here." Dian Wei gave a military salute.

"You are a strong man, how could the old man not know that someone came to reward you with wine and meat."

The servants brought wine and meat and handed them to Dian Wei.Dian Wei was also polite and began to eat, but the wine did not move.In Dian Wei's words, it's not a bad drink, and when the business is done, Liu Wei will have plenty of good wine.

The matter of Dian Wei was just a small episode. In He Jin's view, no matter how brave Dian Wei was, how many people could he defeat.

After a while, after the dancer went down, He Jin clapped his hands, and hundreds of heavily armed soldiers rushed in.Just as He Jin was about to speak, he suddenly heard a voice coming from the door: "The imperial decree has arrived!"

The room full of ministers quickly knelt down.

I saw Zhang Rang leading a few young eunuchs in, and Liu Wei, the Marquis of Wuyuan, received the decree: "Following the heavens, the emperor ordered that the Marquis of Wuyuan will attack the Huns in the north today, behead more than [-] Huns, expel the Huns for [-] miles, and set up For your inexhaustible achievements, he is now specially named King of Liaoxi, and his subordinates reward Liaodong County, Liaoxi County, Xuantu County, and Lelang County. Guard the border for me, and respect this."

"My lord, stop kneeling and accept the order." Zhang Rang said again in his eccentric voice.

"My minister Liu Wei took the decree, thank you Lord Long for your kindness, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

As soon as Zhang Rang left, the ministers began to discuss again, "This Liu Wei is really lucky. Not only has he been crowned king, but he also has so many fiefdoms, which are bigger than a state."

"What do you know, these four counties are all places of bitter cold, with a small population. They will also face Xianbei's looting at any time. It's the same as not being sealed."

When the ministers were discussing, Liu Wei suddenly smiled at He Jin: "What does the general mean?" He pointed to the soldiers who rushed into the room.

"Ah, this, this. Oh, it's not that I look at Wu Yuan Hou, oh no, is it the king of Liaoxi who lacks guards? I'm going to send these people to you to protect your safety." He Jin thought for a while, Made up an excuse.

"Oh, don't bother the general. Dian Wei has the courage to fight against thousands of troops. I can rest assured that Ziman is my guard. If there is nothing wrong, I will retire first." After finishing speaking, He left with Dian Wei.
