The Nameless of the Common Clans

"The truth is, I won't talk to the general." In Yique Pass, in the main hall, Wei Yan looked at Yang Wei who was kneeling in front of him and said: "Since the general has reached this point, there is actually nothing more to say. You He is older than me and has been in the army longer than me. I am more respectful to the elderly and it is not my turn to teach the general how to behave. Let’s get straight to the point. What are Cao Jun’s people in Luoyang going to do next?”

"Do you think I can tell you?" Yang Wei glanced at Wei Yan coldly. He was right. Regardless of his seniority or age, he was far ahead of Wei Yan. How should he do things? Who would be the turn of such a young boy? Come to teach?

"I think so." Wei Yan nodded and said: "You are not a loyal minister. Don't pretend to be a tough guy in front of me. You are a thief who betrays your master. If you don't tell me, I will let you try the punishment you deserve. In the end You have to say, why bother? Don’t say you can hold on.”

Yang Wei was speechless. Although the big man was sentenced to a lighter sentence, he would get all the punishment he deserved. If he had to go through it again, he might not be able to hold on.

"I told you, can you let me go?" Yang Wei looked at Wei Yan and asked.

"You think it's okay, then that's okay." Wei Yan said casually, and he could interpret it however he wanted. Anyway, it was not up to him to decide what to do at that time. As for letting Yang Wei go privately, Wei Yan had never thought about it.

"Then what benefit do I have?" Yang Wei snorted coldly.

"If you can suffer less and eat better before you die, if there is wine in Yiqueguan, I can give it to you." Wei Yan thought about it: "That's all I can give you. If you want to say it, just say it. If you don’t want to say it, then I’ll punish you. Everything has been prepared for you and you can choose it yourself.”

"Aren't you afraid that I will lie to you?" Yang Wei suddenly sneered.

"You may say that it's your ability to deceive me, but don't worry, I will arrange for someone to be by your side. After I find something wrong, or if I go out and don't come back, these instruments of torture will be used on you again." Wei Yan didn't care. road.

This is a **!

Yang Wei finally figured it out. Let's not talk about Wei Yan's abilities, but he was definitely not the kind of person who was willing to follow the rules. The most important thing was that the other party was a ruthless character and had a lot of brains. It was not easy to deceive him.

"What do you want to know?" Yang Wei finally gave up and looked at Wei Yan and asked, since the outcome was already decided, he didn't want to suffer.

"Just tell me how many Cao troops you let in?" Wei Yan nodded to the scribe on the side and motioned for him to record it.

"Cao Jun disguised himself as refugees and merchants and crossed the border nine times. There were probably more than 6,000 people." Yang Wei said solemnly.

There were more than 6,000 people. No wonder Cao Ren was on the defensive. He sent all his troops and horses here.

Wei Yan suddenly understood. He had felt that something was wrong with Cao Ren's sudden switch from offense to defense before, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. Now he understood. With the few remaining troops, if they really fought, their flaws would be easily seen. When the time comes, Zhang Liao took the opportunity to attack, and Yingchuan and Runan might not be safe.

Wei Yan felt that he had to tell Zhang Liao the news and take the opportunity to gain another meritorious service.

"When will they take action? Do you need your cooperation?" Wei Yan asked again after thinking for a moment.

"That's not what I said. I just said that when I see a fire coming from the direction of Luoyang, let me open Yique Pass and let Cao's army pass." Yang Wei shook his head. He was the guard of Yique Pass, and all his soldiers were Chen Mo's. If he really led these people to attack Luoyang, he was worried that he would be the first to be killed.

"In other words, there is an internal agent in Luoyang City?" Wei Yan's eyes seemed to be shining: "Who is it?"

"The person who contacted me is Zhao Shen, the censor Zhongcheng. I don't know much about the others." Yang Wei said.

Wei Yan asked a few more questions and looked at Yang Wei in surprise: "General Yang is not very capable, but he has a lot of appetite. He actually wanted benefits from Zhao Shen and Cao Jun at the same time."

Yang Wei's face turned dark and he groaned: "Do you have anything else to ask?"

"That's basically gone. It doesn't matter whether the general answers the last question or not. I'm just out of curiosity." Wei Yan looked at Yang Wei and said with interest: "Why did the general rebel? My lord treats his soldiers well."

"Chen Mo is tyrannizing Chao Gang, the world..." Yang Wei wanted to criticize him with a righteous expression, but was interrupted by Wei Yan.

"If you don't want to say it, don't say it. You were with Dong Zhuo before. Why don't you rebel against him? Now my lord is much stronger than Dong Zhuo in the past, but you rebelled against me. General, do you think I'm a child?" Wei Yan looked impatient. interrupted.

This kind of talk is too official. Nowadays, the princes in the world, Cao Cao, Sun Ce, and even the two kings, all count as one. This kind of talk can be applied to everyone, but you, Yang Wei, are not a righteous man.

As for why Yang Wei wanted to rebel, Wei Yan was curious, but he didn't have to know. He waved his hand and signaled his guards to take him back to the dungeon for custody. Next, it was time to think about how to do it. Now that Luoyang had discovered this The problem is that the fire may not appear, but he estimates that Cao Jun will definitely come. He wants to take this opportunity to trick Cao Ren. He has enough troops, so he can take the credit for himself.

"Wait!" Yang Wei quickly called everyone, looked at Wei Yan and said, "I told you, can you change my room? It's not like I live in a dungeon. You just promised not to treat me harshly when eating and drinking."

"Okay." Wei Yan nodded. This is not a big deal. It's just a matter of sending a few more people to look after it.

"Although Marquis Changling treats the soldiers well, I am now nearly fifty years old. If there are no accidents in this life, this will be it. I want to give it a try. Marquis Changling's military system treats these veteran generals like me very harshly. "Yang Wei said in a deep voice: "General, have you ever thought that you might be treated like this when you are as old as me?"

"So you rebelled against this?" Wei Yan looked at Yang Wei with a smile. When did Chen Mo's military system treat veterans harshly? Just thinking about it, Wei Yan probably understood, and sneered: "I am not very capable, but I still want to take on a big responsibility. If the lord really treats the veteran badly, how can he give you a place like Yiqueguan where you can make meritorious deeds? That's just to see You are mature and prudent and can hold on. Even if no one comes to attack during this period, you will still have a share of the credit after this battle. The Lord is promoting you, but who knows that you harbor evil intentions? It is you who caused today's disaster. You deserve it, and you want to rebel against me? Do you think I'm as stupid as you?"

When Yang Wei heard this, his face turned a little dark. It was really not a wonderful experience to be ridiculed by a junior like this, but he couldn't refute it. That was the fact. He hadn't done much yet, and Luoyang had already responded. , soldiers and horses were directly transferred from Nanyang to take over Yique Pass. Maybe those Cao Jun and Luoyang people who sneaked into Heluo before were also deliberately let in, right?

Yang Wei suddenly thought that the man who made the decision in Luoyang now was Li Ru, the man who used to advise Dong Zhuo and almost helped Dong Zhuo win the world. In terms of scheming, could Zhao Shen and others really outsmart him?

There was a feeling of regret in my heart. When Zhao Shen and Cao Cao's people came to find me, all I could think of was the benefits. Even if the incident failed, I would be sitting on Yique Pass and could advance or retreat without losing anything. , who knew that they just issued an edict and took away Yique Pass, which he relied on. This was completely different from what he had expected. Now that Wei Yan was ridiculing him like this, he could only accept it.

"Take him down." Wei Yan waved his hand and asked someone to take Yang Wei down. This man was basically useless.

After the personal guards took Yang Wei away, Wei Yan looked at the scribe and said, "Have you remembered everything?"

"Everything has been recorded. Please take a look at it, general." The scribe quickly dried the ink and handed the bamboo slips to Wei Yan.

"Well done." Wei Yan looked at the contents of the bamboo slips, nodded, looked at the scribe and said, "You go down first to receive the reward."

"Thank you, general!" the clerk agreed and bowed to leave.

Wei Yan looked at the contents on the bamboo slips, thought about it, and summoned a trusted general.

"General, what are your orders?" the trusted general bowed.

"Send this letter to Luoyang quickly." Wei Yan rolled up the bamboo slip, sealed it with fire paint, and handed it to the general: "Remember, after entering Luoyang, if anyone asks, just say it is urgent from Nanyang. Don’t say it’s from Yique Pass. Please give this letter to Shangshu Ling Li Ru personally.”

Wei Yan actually asked the general to deliver the letter to Tianlao, but it was too strange to think about it. He didn't know who was loyal and who was traitorous in Luoyang City, but Li Ru must be one of his own. This was the only thing he could be sure of. After handing the letter to Li Ru, Wei Yan felt more at ease.

"Here!" The general took the bamboo slip and prepared to leave.

"Come back!" Wei Yan suddenly called his confidant again.

"What other orders does the general have?" The general looked at Wei Yan doubtfully.

"Although this road is not far, it may not be very peaceful. You bring a team of people. If someone intercepts you, don't fight with them. Just go around and go straight to Luoyang." Wei Yan said solemnly.

"Here!" the general agreed, and after waiting some more, seeing that Wei Yan had no other instructions, he took the bamboo slips and left.

"It needs to be arranged." After sending away his cronies, Wei Yan thought for a while. He wanted to ambush Cao Jun here, so the city had to be prepared. He ordered the generals before Yique Pass to summon all the craftsmen in the pass and prepare. The interior of Yique Pass was renovated to welcome Cao Jun.

On the other side, Luoyang, Tianlao.

"Yesterday Guo Yu sent someone over, and Yang Ding was indeed rebellious. Now he has been subdued. He is still crossing the river in the name of Yang Ding to the outside world. He should be able to arrive in Luoyang tomorrow evening." Since Li Ru knew that Jia Xu was here, , came to discuss with Jia Xu almost every day.

"It's not surprising that people with great ambitions and shortcomings in talents are not surprising." Jia Xu said with a smile: "The most important thing is Luoyang City. Tomorrow's drama, but I don't know how many heads will fall."

"No less!" Li Ru said: "In the past two days, Man Chong has arrested two more people, but those retainers have not dispersed."

"With Wenyou in charge of the overall situation, I feel more at ease." Jia Xu said with a smile.

"You're not coming out?" Li Ru asked doubtfully.

"I will not show up in front of others. A gentleman would not stand under a dangerous wall." Jia Xu said with a smile.

So I'm not a gentleman? Li Ru looked at Jia Xu, a little speechless. Do you have to bear all these things by yourself?
