Chapter Eleven: The ignorant are fearless
"Marty Ting, where is this?" Li Xian was walking towards the city tower, but saw a group of soldiers coming towards him. The leader bowed to Li Xian and said.
Li Xian's face suddenly became gloomy and he barely replied: "It turned out to be General Yang Wei. A batch of supplies came from outside the city. I'll go and count them."
Yang Wei is an old general of Dong Zhuo and a native of Xiliang. He is quite brave. Before Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, Yang Wei followed Dong Zhuo, with his courage second only to Hua Xiong, Fan Chou, and Li Jue, and he was also quite prestigious in the army.
Later, Dong Zhuo was killed and the Guanzhong was in chaos. When Li Jue and Guo Si counterattacked, Yang Wei led his troops to surrender Li Jue, which was highly valued by Li Jue. On the one hand, Yang Wei was brave and powerful, and had a lot of prestige in the army. On the other hand, they were all from Xiliang, and they were all from fellow villagers, so they were relieved to use.
After repaying his favor, Yang Wei was also quite loyal to Li Jue. This time, Li Jue wanted to let Li Xian stand alone and sent Yang Wei to assist Li Xian. Don’t see Li Xian dare to kill people by drinking, but even if he is drunk, he would not dare to be arrogant in front of Yang Wei. After all, this is a person of the same generation as Li Jue, and his prestige in the army is far above him. Li Xian also knew in his heart that he could be here because of Yang Wei.
But even though he understood, he always felt that Yang Wei looked down on him a little. Logically speaking, he was granted a title at the age of 30. He was considered young and promising. Ye Zhao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Lu Bu were now all vassals. At the age of 30, he was just a county marquis, and for him, it was not difficult to get a county marquis.
Therefore, Li Xian often feels complacent with this. Compared with these people, he only feels that he was born in the wrong era. He was born ten years earlier, and may not be comparable to those who were powerful in Luoyang. After all, no matter what, in terms of the result, they were ultimately losers and were expelled from Luoyang by Dong Zhuo, and he... never failed!
However, Ye Zhao had several ups and downs and had the achievements of Muye in saving the chariot, and was finally named Marquis of Ting. When he was a county marquis, he was already famous all over the world. Cao Cao's Marquis was also won by countless merits. Yuan Shao's four generations and three Dukes, plus enough merits and political achievements to support him, even if Lu Bu's title was a bit humble, under Hulao Pass, Lu Bu showed his power, slashed the morale of the princes and was brave. Even if someone who didn't like Lu Bu anymore, he had to admit that no one would say anything when he was named Marquis of Wen.
Li Xian was arrogant and ignorant, but Li Jue knew in his heart that placing Li Xian here was to let him see the difference between him and Ye Zhao and others to inspire him.
It was a painstaking effort, but Li Xian didn't think so. He believed that his uncle asked him to come here as a pioneer in entering Shu and asked him to suppress Ye Zhao, so he gave him the position of Tinghou to encourage himself. After taking office, he thought about how to break through Hanzhong. He knew that his Tinghou came here and could not convince the public. He used his urgent hope to use courage and merit to make those who looked down on him shut up.
At that time, Yang Wei and Guo Si will all have to stand aside.
Yang Wei stepped forward and stopped Li Xian and said, "Marty Ting, I'm afraid it's not! I heard that those people from outside the city were merchants from Shu to redeem them!"
Seeing that Yang Wei was unyielding, Li Xian was a little angry and said in a muffled voice: "So what?"
"Have Tinghou ever thought that this matter would offend the Taiwei?" Yang Wei stopped Li Xian again and said in a deep voice: "The lord is in a bad state now, so he shouldn't offend the Taiwei at this time, and he will cause the Shu army to conquer!"
"General Yang is too much of a big deal? But Ye Zhao also wants to take care of several merchants. Did he take my uncle seriously?" Li Xian roared at Yang Wei with the help of alcohol.
"Ting Hou's words are inappropriate!" Yang Wei's face changed and he said in a deep voice: "The Taiwei values the most rules. It is a small matter to seize merchants, but the Taiwei's actions violated the Taiwei's rules. At this moment, he should have returned those people and the looted property. How can he take it for himself!"
If Yang Wei had not been transferred by Li Xian for official business that day, Li Xian would never have made such a big mistake. Yang Wei knew very well that Li Jue would never want to start a war with Ye Zhao. At this time, Li Xian provoked Shuzhong for such a trivial matter, which was equivalent to giving Shuzhong an excuse to start a war.
"Don't worry, General Yang, I have to worry about this matter, and there is no need to worry about it!" Li Xian waved his hand a little irritated. Seeing that Yang Wei was about to say something else, he suddenly felt a sense of irritability in his heart and said impatiently: "Uncle sent you here to assist me, who is the prefect of Longxi for whom!?"
Yang Wei's chest was suffocated, and his chest was undulating violently. He looked at Li Xian for a long time and couldn't speak.
"Let's go!" Li Xian felt a little relieved when Yang Wei saw it, and snorted silently, turned around and left.
"General, what should we do?" Several soldiers asked carefully when they saw Yang Wei's face looked ugly.
"Follow up!" Yang Wei took a deep breath and said in a deep voice. No matter what, Li Jue had the kindness of knowing him. Since Li Jue gave Li Xian to him, Yang Wei would never want Li Xian to make a big mistake under his nose.
Li Xian walked in front with his men, following Yang Wei in the back. A confidant whispered: "Marquis Ting, General Yang will follow you, what should I do?"
"Then let him follow!" Li Xian made up his mind that he would kill a few people this time to establish his prestige and let him know that his name as a general who always wins is not a praising!
The group came to the city in a mighty manner, and Wei Yan's heart was shocked when he saw the situation, thinking that the other party had discovered him.
"Who is under the city?" Li Xian climbed up the female wall, his legs trembled a little. He was a little afraid of height, so he carefully poked his head out and said to the caravan under the city.
"We are in charge of the escort of the caravan in Xiawanjia. Come on the order of the head of the family and return to my young master several times!" Wei Yan held down a soldier who subconsciously wanted to shoot Li Xian, bowed to Li Xian and said loudly.
"Wei Yan?" Li Xian thought for a while, and seemed to have some impression, but it seemed that there was no such a long time ago, and the other party was not a beauty, so how could he remember it? He said immediately: "Has the thing been brought?"
"Release!" Wei Yan waved his hand and signaled the person escorting the frame behind to lift the tarpaulin on the frames.
"Please look at General, these are all the best Shu brocades!" Wei Yan pointed to the goods on the car and clasped his fists at Li Xian, "In addition, there are thousands of gold beads, ten purple shirts, and twenty black dogs, all of which are good goods transported from southern Xinjiang. There are also many mountain delicacies to the general to keep their promises and let my young master come back."
Li Xian's eyes lit up. These goods were indeed of great value. He looked at the dozens of trucks of goods with a greed, and waved: "Open the city gate and let them in!"
"Slow!" Yang Wei suddenly stepped forward and stopped the soldiers who were about to put down the suspension bridge: "It's just escorting goods, why do so many people come?"
There are about two hundred people, and it seems that they don’t look like ordinary guards.
"General, I am sorry for the crime. It is not peaceful along the way. The head of the family is very concerned about the safety of my young master. This time, the soldiers of the prefect's mansion came to ask for it. The head of the family said that these goods should be friends with the general, but please do not hurt my young master at all. Otherwise, the next time I will probably not be the two hundred Nanzheng defenders. Even if they lose all their money, they will report this matter to the Taiwei. Please let the Taiwei be the leader!" Wei Yan bowed to Yang Wei calmly and said neither humble nor arrogantly.
"This incident has alarmed the Hanzhong government?" Yang Wei's eyes twitched and he looked at Wei Yan.
"Not bad!" Wei Yan nodded: "The other teams will come one after another. Please don't do too much, generals!"
"Dare you threaten me?" Li Xian was furious when he heard this, holding the female wall and cursing.
"I dare not, I just explain the facts!" Wei Yan said calmly. However, at this moment, he had already seen that it was not difficult to deceive Li Xian. The difficulty was the general next to him, and this person seemed to have more prestige than Li Xian in this city, so only by suppressing this person can he deceive the city gate.
"Fact? Not to mention the prefect of Hanzhong, even if Ye Zhao came in person, I told him that he would never come back!" Li Xian roared.
"..." A ray of cold light flashed in Wei Yan's eyes and he said in a deep voice: "General, be careful! I have heard nothing, but if this matter is passed back to the Taiwei's ears, even General Li Jue will probably not be able to explain to the Taiwei!"
"fart……"
"Enough!" Yang Wei sighed and waved his hand, "Go, send people out, open the city, and let them in!"
"Yang Wei, who is the leader of Longxi?" Li Xian looked back at Yang Wei and shouted sternly.
"It's the Marquis of Ting!" Yang Wei said calmly: "But now, please listen to the last general. Otherwise, the last general will report the lord immediately and let the lord stop it!"
"Don't press my uncle to suppress me!" Li Xian glared at Yang Wei angrily, but stopped saying more. Obviously, Yang Wei's words hit his weakness.
He groaned and walked down with a gun. He could not touch the official Hanzhong official, but the leader seemed to be the escort of a certain family, not a member of the Shu army. His attitude made Li Xian quite displeased. He was about to kill him and vent his hatred!
The city gate was opened, and Wei Yan was about to enter the city gate, but he heard the sound of horse hooves and saw Li Xian running towards him with his gun.
"Red-faced thief, grandpa is in a bad mood today. Stay behind your life and let you enter the city!" Li Xian shouted and rushed straight to Wei Yan.
Wei Yan was happy when he heard this. Unexpectedly, the two fools fell into the trap and immediately smiled and said, "My sons, seize the city gate!"
"Kill~"
Two hundred soldiers quickly abandoned the car, took out their weapons, gathered quickly, and followed Wei Yan to the city gate. The charge launched by two hundred people actually made Li Xian have the aura of facing thousands of troops.
Li Xian turned pale and without saying a word, he turned his horse's head and ran away.
"Since you are here, leave your head and leave!" Wei Yan laughed loudly and ran out. He was a horse that Ye Zhao personally picked for him under his crotch. It looked ordinary, but it was actually a good horse from Dayuan. In a moment, he had already chased behind Li Xian. Seeing this, Li Xian had to bite the bullet and turn around to fight.
The spear in his hand turned around and stabbed it backwards, but Wei Yan easily grabbed it. He looked at Li Xian with a smile and said, "With this ability, I am trying to compete with my lord. Who can give you the courage?"
