Chapter 1486 Say one thing and do another


    ?? Wei Yan''s sudden attack was not only beyond Wu Yi''s expectation, but also Zhao Wei, who was waiting to watch the show, did not expect it. He originally thought that Wei Yan would be somewhat wary of Wu Yi''s family background and qualifications, but Zhao Wei never thought that Wei Yan didn''t care about this at all, nor did he care about the changes in his relationship with the Sichuan and Shu nobles because of such a move.


    At this moment, Zhao Wei''s head went numb, and there was only one thought swirling in his head, this! This is simply a reckless man!


    Originally, Zhao Wei believed that it was not just Zhao Wei''s idea. Among most gentry concepts in the Han Dynasty, no matter how they were opposed, there was only a difference between cooperation and non-cooperation between gentry, just like there were multiple brothers in a family. Just like the princes who serve in different officialdoms, no prince will have any distrust or dislike for that person because of such a thing because he has a brother opposite him.


    Exchange of interests is a normal thing, and specific matters should be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. Therefore, Liu Zhang, who was unwilling to communicate and coordinate, and only wanted to fight and kill, was already weird enough. Unexpectedly, this partial general under General Zhengxi, He is also so irritable!


    ?This move will soon represent the cooperation with the Sichuan and Sichuan gentry. Even if it does not fail, will it cast a shadow over it?


    ??Wu Yi can be said to be the representative of the faction close to Liu Zhang in Sichuan. Now that he is willing to come forward, it shows that the faction close to Liu Zhang is also somewhat wavering...


    ??Wu Yi didn''t dare to really take action, but he was just showing off. In the face of huge interests, what does it mean to be scolded? If peace talks are brokered, wouldn''t Sichuan and Shu be unified immediately? Wei Yan was scolded a few times, which gave Wu Yi enough face. Wu Yi, a group of Sichuan and Shu nobles who were close to Liu Zhang, would naturally reciprocate the favor and promote the general''s humility and politeness to the virtuous corporal. Then they would naturally have reasons to switch sides. And excuses, doesn''t Wei Yan not understand such a simple truth? Could it be that Wei Yan doesn''t want such a great achievement? After just being scolded a few times, he did something so embarrassing to Wu Yi?


    ?This Wei Yan, is he stupid?


    ?Zhao Wei was stunned.


    ??The guards who were originally in the hall saw such a situation, they all shouted loudly, and then drew their weapons, seeing that a fierce fight was about to break out!


    "Stop it!" Wu Yi, who was lying on the ground, stood up holding his chest. Although Wei Yan knocked him down, he did not use any force. After taking a few breaths, Wu Yi regained his breath. Staring at Wei Yan, he smiled instead of being angry, "Okay! What an unparalleled general under General Zhengxi! I understand!"


    As if nothing was wrong, Wu Yi pulled out the long sword from the wooden board in the hall, then put it into the scabbard. He calmly held his hand towards Zhao Wei and said, "Brother Zhao, I will take my leave now..."


    "Ah, Ziyuan, this...that..." Zhao Wei wanted to say something more, but Wu Yi didn''t want to listen anymore, so he waved his hand and left with his guards.


    "General Wei!" Zhao Wei looked at Wei Yan dumbfounded, "Why bother? Why bother!"


    Wei Yan smiled and said: "What''s wrong? Is it possible that if he wants to kill me, I can only watch and not fight back?"


    "Hi!" Zhao Wei did not ask anyone to clean up the messy hall, but waved his hand to ask the guards and servants to step back and get some, and then said, "I should ask you this... With Wei With the general''s skills, can''t you tell that Wu Ziyuan is just an empty show? He hasn''t even been in battle a few times. If he really wants to fight, who can he defeat? "


    Although a second-generation official like Wu Yi is not at the top yamen level, most things have been done by servants since he was a child. He has very little time to actually do it. In addition, if he wants to improve his personal martial arts, To become a strong warrior in martial arts, if there is no so-called system to provide cheating skills, sweating and even bleeding are inevitable. And how much thought does a second-generation official like Wu Yi have to be determined to practice martial arts?


    ??If Wu Yi really had such determination, then at least he would be a military general like Sun Ce who was carrying a sword and smelled strongly of blood, instead of a nobleman who wore robes and held a long sword as an ornament and smelled more of powder.


    “…” Wei Yan was silent.


    "Wu Ziyuan, the Wu family, is not a local noble family in Sichuan. He was originally from Chen County. He fled to Sichuan to avoid trouble and surrendered to Liu Yizhou..." Zhao Wei picked up the syrup on the table, took a slow sip, and continued, " Now... Well, now Zhang Ziqiao has gone north. If Wu Ziyuan is added... Among Sichuan and Sichuan, it will be 70 or 80. Liu Jiyu is not familiar with military affairs. Even if Pang is capable, he will be alone... But now, the situation is great, so Thanks to General Wei..."


    Normally, no one likes war, because war means a lot of consumption, whether it is the consumption of materials or human lives, and if these materials and human lives can be saved, it will not be a large amount of wealth, even if it is squandered, it can also be squandered It’s been a while…


    Therefore, when Wu Yi came, Zhao Wei understood it almost immediately. He originally thought that the Sichuan-Sichuan war would be over and the losses would not continue to expand. However, he did not expect that Wei Yan''s arrival would disrupt the good situation.


    Zhao Wei can also understand Wu Yi''s behavior of showing off his authority. After all, Wu Yi''s faction originally supported Liu Yan and Liu Zhang. Even Wu Yi''s sister married Liu Hao. If there is not a good reason, a better one How could he give up the interests in his hands so easily and then start fighting for it from the beginning?


    ??And to take a step back, if Wu Yi had groveled and knelt down to lick it as soon as he came up, could he have gained more benefits than Zhang Song and others? Therefore, it became inevitable for Wu Yi to conduct testing. Even Wu Yi himself came to Guanghan to test some people who were originally pro-Liu Zhang.


    ?The so-called position means asking for status, the so-called quarrel means just asking for benefits, and the so-called drawing a sword means just showing attitude. Can you really fight? Who has ever seen someone slowly walk over with his sword raised when he is about to kill someone? Do you really think that sword energy can kill people?


    Normally, Wei Yan would not look like a fool, but why did he behave in such a stupid way at such a critical moment?


    ?The good thing was disrupted before it even started, and it would be difficult to calm down no matter who it was. Zhao Wei was quite mature and prudent, otherwise it would not be impossible for him to become angry.


    Zhao Wei was so depressed that he naturally had no intention of holding the original banquet. However, for the sake of General Zhengxi, Zhao Wei still sent Wei Yan out, and then he sighed gloomily.


    ??Wei Yan left Guanghan City and walked forward slowly, looking into the distance, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised and a smile showing. He was not annoyed at all because of Wu Yi''s incident, but seemed a little excited.


    ??Wei extended his hand to hold the sword. The muscles in his hand tensed and veins appeared. His thumb rubbed the canthus pattern on the handle of the knife. "Haha..." Wei Yan whispered softly, "I have been practicing hard for many years, is it just for the purpose of talking over words? Haha..."


    When a man is in this world, he travels across the battlefield, achieves unparalleled fame, and turns the world upside down!


    "The voice of Qilin Pavilion is special, and the spirit of the generals in Yuntai will last forever! Han''er should be raised seven feet, so why should he shadow his descendants if he has no achievements!" Wei Yan laughed, and his laughter spread far and wide under the city of Guanghan. "General Zhengxi''s beautiful words are so untrue! Haha, hahahaha..."


    ……………


    A true man should naturally marry someone with good reputation, well, fame, so when Liu Bei saw a glimmer of light, he even gave 100% of his efforts.


    So when Liu Biao finally agreed to Liu Bei that he could lead his soldiers to Sichuan and Shu, Liu Bei immediately seemed to let go of the reins of Erha. Something was wrong, like a wild horse that had escaped the reins. Well, that''s what it meant anyway, let loose. Huan headed towards Sichuan and Shu. Even the rugged mountain roads along the way did not find it difficult. If it were not for the burden of soldiers and baggage, Liu Bei even felt that he could somersault into Sichuan! There are two ways to enter Sichuan from Jingxiang. One way, of course, is to pass through Shangyong Hanzhong and then enter Sichuan. This route is relatively far away, but the advantage is that you can use the water route to save some energy. But now this route is in the hands of General Zhengxi, so there is no need to even think about it.


    ?The other route may be relatively close, but it is basically a mountain road, winding and rugged, and not very easy to walk. After Liu Qi left for a few days, he fell behind and complained endlessly. Liu Bei had no choice but to lead his soldiers as the vanguard and set off early, allowing Liu Qi to slowly follow behind.


    "Second brother, third brother..." Liu Bei climbed up a hillside and looked around. He thought this place was good. He spread out the map and looked at it. After appraising his location, he said, "Just rest here. Let’s take a moment… and we’ll continue our journey tomorrow…”


    Guan Yu nodded, turned around and went down to make arrangements.


    ?Zhang Fei came up, stared at the map in Liu Bei''s hand, and said, "Brother, where are we now?"


    "Hmm..." Liu Bei looked at it, then pointed to the word "Yu Fu" on the map and said, "It''s probably more than a hundred miles away from this county..."


    “Yufu?” Zhang Fei smacked his lips and said, “It smells like fish…why is it called this…”


    "Haha..." Liu Bei put the map away carefully. Although this map looked very rough in later generations, it was undoubtedly a treasure to Liu Bei. "This name is a bit particular..."


    "Does the third brother know Qu Yuan of the Chu Kingdom?" Liu Bei chuckled and was in a good mood, so he explained to Zhang Fei, "The name of this place is related to it... According to legend, Kui is the youngest son of Emperor Haotian of the Tiangong Palace, and he is also a one-legged dragon. He was born with a disability, so he had a lot of grievances, so the Emperor of Heaven placed him here in Sichuan and asked him to watch mountains and swim in the water to relieve his grievances..."


    "...One day, Kui went to the Miluo River, transformed into a fisherman and sat on the rocks to fish, and met Qu Yuan..." Liu Bei found a stone, sat down, and said with some emotion, "Qu Yuan was humiliated, and he felt sad and angry. , wailing endlessly, which ruined Kui''s original interest in fishing. In addition, Kui had a lot of resentment in his heart, so he immediately ridiculed Qu Yuan with words, causing Qu Yuan to throw himself into the river..."


    "...Qu Yuan threw himself into the river, the sky and the earth shook, the wind roared and the rain was sad..." Liu Bei continued, "Kui realized at this moment that he had harmed a good person, and immediately felt remorseful, so he took his true form, took Qu Yuan''s body into his belly, and wanted to turn it around. He was buried in a spiritual place. He went upstream and bumped into a stone pillar in the river. He rolled over and his abdomen was exposed. He also heard the river bank shouting for the fish to come back. Feeling that God''s will was like this, he buried Qu Yuan here, so later generations called him It’s a fish recovery…”


    ?Zhang Fei blinked and looked at Liu Bei with admiration, "Brother, you know so much..."


    "Haha, you will know after reading more books..." Liu Bei patted Zhang Fei on the shoulder and said, "When you enter Sichuan, you will also need to read more books..."


    ?Zhang Fei smiled naively, and then responded. Seeing that the soldiers were setting up camp, he also followed Guan Yu to make arrangements.


    Liu Bei was sitting alone on a rock on the hillside, reciting the word "Fish Fu". Suddenly some feelings rose in his heart, and he recited Qu Yuan''s Nine Chapters, "... I''m here to shine a light on the merits of the ancestors, and to clarify the suspicion of the law. The wealth of the country He is strong and established by law, he is a loyal minister but he is ruthless..."


    ?Qu Yuan''s death was not due to the emperor''s ignorance and his officials'' ignorance, but to the failure of the reform. During the Warring States period when the original etiquette system collapsed, Qu Yuan, as a minister of the Chu State, was ordered by King Huai of Chu to carry out reforms in an attempt to re-strengthen the Chu State. However, the process of reform involved too many changes in interests, and even It affected King Chu Huai himself, and eventually King Chu Huai threw him out as a victim to calm the anger of the old nobles of Chu State...


    ?Think again about the Qin Dynasty. Xiang Yu was born in Chu State. If Liu Bang hadn''t interfered, he might have been the new emperor. This shows how powerful the old aristocracy of Chu State was.


    ?The state of Chu was about to fall. Isn’t it the same with the Han Dynasty now?


    Liu Bei let out a long sigh.


    "Yu Fu, Qu Yuan, Qu Yuan, Yu Fu..." Liu Bei shook his head and sighed, "Loyal ministers were buried in the belly of the fish... No wonder the old descendants of Chu State still did not win the world despite conquering Xianyang..."


    Liu Bei was murmuring, and suddenly remembered something. He couldn''t help but stood up and looked towards the west. His face also changed, and he seemed a little flustered and anxious. Even Guan Yu, who had returned to his life, noticed it and asked in a low voice. : "Brother, what happened?"


    "Someone was negligent...it was someone who was negligent..." Liu Bei stamped his foot.


    Guan Yu was puzzled.


    "The fish is coming back..." Liu Bei said anxiously, "The current is fast and the fish is coming back again! This is the fish coming back! If there are not enough boats, how can we cross this river!? Oops, why didn''t we think of this earlier? thing!"


    Hearing this, Guan Yu''s face became solemn.


    The army is marching with a lot of supplies. It’s not like anyone can just build an iron palm to float across the river. Are these people well-armed? It’s easy to say that they are small-scale, but now there are more than 5,000 people, how can they cross the river? There must be fishing boats, but the fishing boats themselves are small and not many in number. If we really have to rely on fishing boats for ferry, how long will it take to ferry?


    ??If you make the journey for half a month, if all the military rations are used up, you will end up in Sichuan and Shu, even if you want to go back home, you won’t have anything to eat!
