Chapter 545: Persuade Dian Wei to Surrender

Dian Wei came to the tomb of the western suburbs and found that there were heavy troops there. Dian Wei reported his name at the door and said that he wanted to worship the former lord Cao Cao.

When the gatekeeper heard that the other party actually said that it was Dian Wei, the general who had disappeared for seven years, was shocked. It happened that the soldier had seen Dian Wei before, as Cao Cao's personal soldier. When he saw it carefully, he found that it was Dian Wei. He was very excited and hurriedly saluted Dian Wei. However, when it came to worship, the personal soldier immediately showed a helpless look and suggested that he had to go through the consent of his lord Cao Pi before he could let Dian Wei enter. Dian Wei thought about it and felt that this was also human nature, so he agreed.

It happened that day, Cao Pi was inside the cemetery. The personal soldier quickly found Cao Pi and said to him: "Lord, there is a big man outside the cemetery. He claimed that he had disappeared for seven years. The villain used to serve under the old lord's tent and saw this person more than once. After careful identification, it was indeed that person. The man made a request to worship the old lord. The villain dared to ask here, did the lord agree to let him in?"

"What? Dian Wei? It's really him?" Cao Pi was overjoyed when he heard the words of the personal soldier and asked in disbelief.

"That's right, the villain dares to ensure that that man is indeed General Dian." The personal soldier answered quickly when he saw Cao Pi asking.

"This is really great. When Dian Wei comes back, our army has another general. Now our army is employed, so we naturally pay attention to such talents. What's more, Dian Wei is a general under his father's command and is loyal to his father. Therefore, I decided to learn from the allusion of the father's back-up greeting Xu You and go out to greet him in person. You all go with me to show our importance and courtesy to him."

When Cao Pi heard that Dian Wei was indeed back, he was naturally overjoyed and personally led the civil and military officials to the gate.

When he arrived at the door, Cao Pi indeed saw a big man like an iron tower standing there. He admired him very much, and quickly bowed and said, "Is General Dian Wei here?"

"That's right, I'll meet Duke Chu." Dian Wei didn't expect that Cao Pi would come in person. He knew that there was no good thing and thought it was not good in his heart, but he still politely to Cao Pi.

When Cao Pi heard that the other party actually called him "Duke Chu" instead of "Lord", he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, but he hid his emotions and said with a smile: "I heard in the early years that General Dian was killed in the Battle of Nanyang. I really didn't expect that the rumors were false. The general had always been captured by Liu He and he escaped until today. Congratulations to the general for getting out of the net and returning to the court. This is really a blessing for the court. General Dian is so loyal and unyielding that he can be as powerful as the time of the year.

Su Wu, who can be defeated, will be comparable to this matter. I will submit a report to the court to commend General Dian. Haha, since the general was defeated that year, my father and son have never been given the title of General Tiger Guard. Now that this position has a master, let alone Pi, even if my father has a spirit in heaven, he will definitely feel relieved. Of course, please rest as the general, even your general is only temporary. I believe that it will not be too long. As General you win meritorious service, your position will definitely rise again."

Cao Pi's meaning is actually very obvious, that is, Dian Wei continues to play for him, and all the civil and military officials also looked at Dian Wei with anticipation, hoping that Dian Wei will continue to play.

However, Dian Wei bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness. It's just that Wei has the last resort and cannot serve Duke Chu. Please forgive me."

"What???"

Hearing Dian Wei's words, everyone, including Cao Pi, were stunned and looked at Dian Wei with disbelief.

At this time, Jiang Gan smiled and said, "It seems that General Dian is thinking about the old lord's love in the past and wants to keep the system for the old lord, so he cannot serve the lord for the time being. But General Dian, think about it, the old lord and the lord are father and son. Now my great Chu is in a turmoil, and it is the time to use people. General Dian serves the lord, which is the best way to be loyal to the lord. We all have this idea, so we are also loyal to the lord, just like the old lord."

"It's extreme, it's extreme."

"Mr. Jiang is right."

"We all have this intention, so, General Dian, don't let it go."

After hearing what Jiang Gan said, all the civil and military officials stepped forward to persuade him.

However, Dian Wei sighed: "Thank you for your kindness. Duke Chu is very enthusiastic. However, Wei did not escape back by himself, but was released by Duke Qin. When Wei heard the news of his lord's death, he felt very sad. Therefore, he begged Duke Qin to allow Wei to return to Xuzhou to worship his lord. If Duke Qin can satisfy Wei's wish and is willing to be loyal to Duke Qin, now Duke Qin has released Wei back, and Wei cannot speak without trust. Therefore, Wei has already promised this body to Duke Qin and cannot serve Duke Chu anymore. Please forgive me."

As soon as Dian Wei said this, everyone fell silent because it was too unexpected to them.

After a while, Jiang Gan Gan smiled and said, "That's just a temporary solution for General Dian to return to Xuzhou. The lord believes in General Dian's loyalty to the lord, so he will definitely not care about the past, so General Dian does not have to feel guilty."

Dian Wei said, "How can a man be a real man without trust? Since Duke Qin let me return to Xuzhou, I naturally want to return to Chang'an to serve Qin Gong. Does the sir think this is not right?"

Jiang Gan blushed and then said, "We must be honest with our own people, but who is Qin Gong? Although this person is nominally a relative of the Han Dynasty, he is actually a traitor. He holds such great power, but he does not worship the emperor and does not listen to the imperial order. How can Duke Dian be trusted to such a person? Now that the general returns to the court, it is a blessing, so why bother to return? In fact, Duke Dian can completely use the excuse of being recruited by the court in order to refuse to return to Chang'an. Duke Qin is a relative of the Han Dynasty after all, if you say this, even though he is dissatisfied, he has no choice."

"Yes, yes, Qin Gong's unofficial intention is already obvious, and there is no need to serve him." All the civil and military officials around agreed with Jiang Gan and persuaded Dian Wei.

However, Dian Wei shook his head and said firmly: "Duke Qin is not a traitor. If you don't believe it, you can go to Chang'an or any land under Duke Qin's rule to see it. Can the people there be a word of dissatisfaction with Duke Qin? Especially Chang'an has now become the richest place in the world, with a prosperous scene. Even if Qin Emperor and Han Wu, it is probably impossible for Chang'an to achieve such prosperity. Such a talented and stubborn person to manage our Han Dynasty is a blessing for all the people in the world. Besides, Wei has already said that since he has promised Duke Qin before, he must not make any mistakes. Please forgive me and Duke Chu."
