Chapter 118 Wei Yan has an appointment
Ma Di was still a little hesitant when facing Wei Yan's invitation.
After all, he and Wei Yan didn't have a good relationship. If they disagreed at the banquet, they might start a fight. Ma Di was very worried that someone would not pay attention to it, so he and Wei Yan stopped arguing and changed hands.
By that time, if he is chopped down by Wei Yan, it will be fine. If he is unlucky and chops up Wei Yan...
But Ma Su finally decided to go and have a look. After all, he was also a colleague. By the way, he took Ma Dai to follow him. If he really made a move, Ma Dai would still stop him.
Perfect!
Ma Su accepted Wei Yan's invitation, and after arranging the troops, he personally brought several cavalry to Jingyang to meet Wei Yan.
Jingyang was not far away, and Ma Su arrived at the city after only one day's walking. A long way away, Ma Su saw a general waiting at the foot of the city with several personal entourage.
This is the Marquis of Nanzheng, Wei Yan, the general of Shuhan Zhenbei.
Wei Yan came from a wealthy family in Nanyang, but he was just a big-headed soldier in the beginning. When the late Emperor Liu Bei took office in Xinye, he was singled out from the tribe by this Han Dynasty's number one treasure appraisal expert.
Later, he followed Liu Bei in the Battle of Chibi, marched southward through Jingnan, and was at the forefront when fighting in the middle of Shu.
This man is a brother to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and is truly the number one general in Shu Han today.
Ma Su had met Wei Yan several times before, but what surprised Ma Su was that Wei Yan came to greet him in person.
"General Youchang! Wen Chang has been waiting for you for a long time!" Wei Yan laughed a few times when he saw Ma Di coming with several people, and shouted loudly from a distance.
"General Wenchang attaches so much importance to Su. I'm really flattered." Seeing that Wei Yan didn't come up, Ma Su choked him, and Ma Su responded to Wei Yan with a smile.
"What kind of attention is this? Please, please." Wei Yan smiled, waved his hand gently and said,
"These days, You Chang's reputation as the mighty general is as loud as thunder! No one in Longyou knows your name, Ma You Chang."
"You are even scarier than Jin Ma Chao back then."
"Excuse me! It's just good luck." Ma Di waved his hand. His family knew about his family affairs, and he was just a hothead who had no feelings.
It's a shame to say that after more than a year of running rampant in Longyou, Ma Su's real achievements were pitiful.
Most of the time, they can only kill ordinary soldiers, and sometimes they can't even defeat the village commander.
The so-called Shenwei General, even though Ma Su is thick-skinned, feels a bit embarrassed.
No, the combo is about to start...
"It can be luck once or twice. You Chang went rampant in Longyou without losing. It's really not luck." Wei Yan smiled, feeling helpless at Ma Su's self-effacement.
This is how these scholars came from. They always like to be self-effacing and polite.
It was better to drink and chat with Yunchang and the others back then, without being restrained at all.
"Ahem... Chief Wen, why did you come to see me? Just to have a meal?" Ma Di coughed twice, then asked.
"Absolutely. You Chang have been here in Anding County for so long, so I have to express my gratitude, right?" Wei Yan replied, pulling Ma Su and walking inside.
"Let's go to the Sheriff's Mansion with me!"
Wei Yan was rough and proud, resolute and resolute. However, Ma Di had to admit that Wei Yan was not annoying, at most he was a bit difficult to get along with.
Then the problem probably lies with Ma Su and Yang Yi.
Wei Yan took Ma Su back to the governor's house and directly set up a banquet to have a drink with Ma Su. It can be seen that this Nanyang man's prejudice against Ma Di has disappeared without a trace.
"You Chang! In the past, I always thought that you were just a white-faced scholar who would study this and that with the art of war every day. I didn't expect that your talent is so high. I was completely mistaken."
Wei Yan held up the wine glass and looked at Ma Su with a more sincere look.
"I would like to toast you with this drink! I would like to express my past apologies to you!"
He drank it all in one gulp, and then looked at Ma Su, waiting for his statement.
"It's nothing, Chief Wen. It's all colleagues. What kind of conflicts can't be resolved?" Ma Di drank it all without saying a word. Wei Yan was a little surprised at how fast he drank.
Are you kidding me? Are you trying to compete with me in drinking?
"Okay! It's fun enough!" Wei Yan nodded, very happy with Ma Su's success.
This is what a military commander looks like. What's the point of hiding behind and directing battles all day long?
Uh...except the Prime Minister!
"Speaking of which, when the prime minister sent you to guard the street, I was worried for a long time." Wei Yan and Ma Su continued to compete in drinking, and said while drinking.
"After all, without a veteran following him, it would be difficult for a general who has just taken charge of the army to stop Zhang He."
"If I hadn't had an important responsibility at that time, I would have planned to lead the troops to see it myself."
"General, did you have important responsibilities at that time?" Ma Su was stunned and suddenly asked.
"Yes, I was attacking Guangwei County with Wu Yi at that time." Wei Yan shook his head and replied helplessly.
"It's normal for the Prime Minister not to let us go. At that time, the whole Longyou was in chaos, and each of us had a heavy burden on us."
"After sending you to Jieting, the Prime Minister immediately assigned tasks to all the generals."
After hearing Wei Yan's words, Ma Di suddenly understood something.
Maybe the Prime Minister will send him there right now...maybe there's nothing we can do?
In the first Northern Expedition, the Prime Minister indeed did not have many generals and counselors who could act alone, otherwise the Prime Minister would not have been able to take charge alone.
Wei Yan, Wu Yi, Wu Ban, Chen Shi... these veteran generals all have heavy responsibilities.
What about the rest?
Gone……
There are only a few people in Shu who can be trusted, so the prime minister seems to have no choice but to use them.
What's more, the task of guarding the street pavilion is really not difficult...
"I see, I understand." Ma Su touched his chin and nodded, basically straightening out his thoughts.
Late Emperor, what evil have you committed? This is it.
"But I must admit that the Prime Minister's vision is indeed unique. You have lived up to the Prime Minister's trust." Wei Yan patted Ma Su on the shoulder and said cheerfully.
"Now you are completely different from the superficial appearance you had at the beginning. You are definitely not the young Chengdu you used to be."
Ma Su: "..."
Okay, I finally understand why you, Wei Yan, are so unpleasant.
You speak so damn straight!
"Speaking of which, has General Wenchang heard anything about the pseudo-Wei recently?" Ma Di raised his eyebrows slightly. He could see Wei Yan's purpose in inviting him to dinner.
I just saw that he liked me again, and I planned to resolve the conflict with him again.
"What happened to the pseudo-Wei? We don't know much about this." Wei Yan shook his head. He was very busy guarding Anding County. On the one hand, he had to resist Sima Yi's sneak attack and also be prepared for the Qiang and Hu people's attacks.
"I just heard that the puppet Wei Dynasty has recently launched troops against Jiangdong. Under the leadership of General Cao Xiu, they are preparing to attack Wu."
"Hey, those Jiangdong rats, it's time for them to be in trouble!"
Wei Yan was very happy about this, and even had the idea of attacking Jiangdong with the puppet Wei.
After all, the late emperor, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei all died because of the treachery of those Jiangdong rats.
For the Shu Han veterans, their hatred for Jiangdong was actually greater than that of Cao Wei.
However, Ma Su suddenly felt something was wrong and put down the cup, his eyes clearing up.
"Wait a minute, you said the coach of Puppet Wei is Cao Xiu?"
