Chapter 6 Deception
The middle-aged man was silent, and Wei Fufeng felt terrified. After a while, he heard: "Master Wei, dare to kill Wang Jian?"
"My ancestor said that Wang Jian's subordinates were actually very loose, and many of them were forced to surrender. Once Wang Jian was killed, Wang Jian's subordinates would fall apart and scatter. Most of my uncle's subordinates were bribed by Wang Jian's coercion, and they could be very useful without swords and axes."
Wei Fufeng answered respectfully.
"Master Wei, as an important minister of the imperial court, is ordered to fight against rebellion. How can he cause internal strife to cause chaos? Your words are unreasonable." The middle-aged man said coldly.
"Sir, my ancestors said that Wang Jian is a tiger and wolf, even more terrifying than Chen Jingxuan. Now Chen Jingxuan is left with only the isolated city of Chengdu, which is about to be broken. Once Chengdu is broken, Wang Jian will definitely dominate Xichuan, and then he will invade Dongchuan greedily.
and Hanzhong.”
"Sir, because my uncle is an important minister of the imperial court, he is worried about Wang Jian's monopoly on Xichuan and confrontation with the imperial court. In terms of the interests of the imperial court, my uncle and your Majesty share the same enemy." Wei Fufeng argued.
The middle-aged man was silent. After more than ten seconds, Wei Fufeng gritted his teeth, raised his head and said respectfully: "Sir, my ancestor also said that I hope you can write to the imperial court to cede Yuzhou (Chongqing), Changzhou, Luzhou, Rongzhou, and establish
Establish a Jiedushi army."
"Huh?" The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows in a nasal voice and looked at Wei Fufeng with sharp eyes. Wei Fufeng immediately lowered his eyebrows and followed his eyes.
"What a loud tone. Is this what Mr. Wei Zhaodu said?" the middle-aged man said coldly.
"Sir, my ancestor told me that the four ceded states have borders with Nanzhao (Yunnan), so it is necessary to establish a military envoy." Wei Fufeng explained respectfully.
"Yuzhou belongs to our army, Changzhou and Luzhou belong to Dongchuan, and Rongzhou belongs to Xichuan. As the governor of Xichuan, Mr. Wei, what is he going to do?" the middle-aged man asked coldly.
"My lord, my uncle suggested setting up military envoys in southern Sichuan, mainly to contain Wang Jian and Dongchuan Army Gu Yanlang, and for the benefit of the imperial court." Wei Fufeng respectfully defended.
After a while of silence, the middle-aged man said: "Get up."
"Thank you, Sir." Wei Fufeng replied respectfully, stood up and stood respectfully.
"Are you Webster's direct grandson?" the middle-aged man asked.
"No, I am a commoner." Wei Fufeng replied respectfully.
"Concubine, have you brought a letter?" the middle-aged man asked.
"There is no letter. The ancestor just ordered the descendants to come and communicate with the request. Whether it succeeds or not has nothing to do with Wei Shi. If it succeeds, the descendants will stay as Jiedu envoys. If it doesn't work, the ancestors will think that the descendants have never been here." Wei Fufeng said respectfully.
"It's empty talk, Mr. Wei is very cautious." The middle-aged man said coldly.
"My ancestors said that if important ministers interact closely with the adults in the palace, it will cause displeasure to His Majesty the Emperor." Wei Fufeng responded respectfully.
"You are very courageous." The middle-aged man said calmly.
"The villain came under the orders of the elders. It will be a great blessing for the younger generation if the elders can avoid sin." Wei Fufeng responded respectfully.
"You go first, our army needs to think about it." The middle-aged man said.
"Junior, I take my leave." Wei Fufeng bowed respectfully, took a step back, turned around and walked out.
After Wei Fufeng went out, the middle-aged man asked: "Do you think this person is from Wei's family?"
"My subordinates think it's because of Chang'an accent and age.

Not big, with elegant appearance, not like a gangster." A soldier replied.
The middle-aged man nodded, and the soldier continued: "But Mr. Wei's request is clearly unsubmissive and ambitious."
The middle-aged man said calmly: "Wei Zhaodu is in trouble in Xichuan. It is reasonable to seek foreign aid. People like him have their eyes high and have no choice but to ask for help. Naturally, they are unwilling to seek more benefits.
.”
"Sir, do you want to agree?" the soldier said.
"Wang Jian is a bad wolf and must be killed as soon as possible. If Wang Jian dies, Wei Zhaodu and Chen Jingxuan will not be worried," the middle-aged man said.
The soldier nodded, and the middle-aged man added: "Wang Jian has become a popular figure in Xichuan. Our army's idea of driving away wolves and devouring tigers now seems to be a mistake."
The soldier was silent, and the middle-aged man said again: "Go down and let Wei Zheng enter the post house so that he can take care of him."
"Sir, there must be Wang Jian's scouts in the city. This matter should not be made public. It is better to have someone secretly monitor it." Another soldier said.
"Okay, you go ahead and do it." The middle-aged man accepted and left with a military salute.
"Yuan Kai, go to Chang'an, tell my father about this, and ask my father to make a decision." The middle-aged man said again.
"Sir, will there be any future trouble if we cede four states to Wei Zhaodu?" the soldier reminded cautiously.
"Future trouble? Our army gave Yuzhou, and it is easy to get it back. Among the four states, Dongchuan occupies two and Xichuan occupies one. Dongchuan suffered the greatest loss. As long as Wang Jian dies, our army can control it.
We will establish the four states in southern Sichuan and then seize the two Sichuan provinces." The middle-aged man explained confidently.
The soldier hesitated after hearing this, and the middle-aged man said again: "The most important thing now is to kill Wang Jian. Our army has entered Shannan West Road, and it is beyond our reach to the remote Yuzhou. Even if Yuzhou is another Jiedu envoy
, it will be difficult to cure in the short term.”
"I understand," the soldier responded.
"Another important point is that Wei Zhaodu's actions are equivalent to giving authority to others, and my father can blackmail him in the future." The middle-aged man said with a sneer, and the soldier nodded silently.
Wei Fufeng walked out of the majestic mansion like a tiger's mouth, trembling with fear in his heart.
This was really a life-threatening act. If it weren't for the support of unwilling resentment, he would never have dared to go to the Jiedushi Mansion to deceive.
Pretending to be calm, he returned to Old Feng all the way. Old Feng took two steps forward with a crutch and greeted: "Sir."
"Okay, let's find an inn to wait for the letter." Wei Fufeng winked and said.
"Okay." Old Feng nodded.
Wei Fufeng found a nearby inn and asked for two rooms and food. Later, Lao Feng had a room, and Wei Fufeng and Bi Yinu shared a room.
Walking into the room, Wei Fufeng approached the woman in green clothes and whispered: "I still need to wrong my sister and pretend to be my maid."
"What did you do?" the woman in green asked softly.
"Using my uncle's name, I went to the Jiedushi government to borrow troops." Wei Fufeng replied.
"Are you going to borrow troops?" The woman in green clothes unexpectedly whispered.
"Well, bandits are swarming in Shu now, and it is difficult for us to reach Chengdu alone." Wei Fufeng whispered.
"Can I borrow it?" the woman in green asked.
"Yang Shijun has not replied yet, please let me wait for the letter." Wei Fu

The wind answered.
"If there are soldiers escorting us, do we not need me?" asked the woman in green clothes.
"Even if you have soldiers to escort you, you may not be safe, and the soldiers may even have malicious intentions." Wei Fufeng replied.
The woman in green clothes was silent, Wei Fufeng smiled and said: "Sister, let's eat."
Early the next morning, Wei Fufeng and Lao Feng left the inn and walked around the city.
While walking around, Wei Fufeng whispered: "Most of them are refugees from Huainan Road. Yang Xingmi and Sun Ru fought in Jianghuai, but they crippled Jianghuai."
Old Feng nodded and said: "Everyone thinks that Bashu is rich and peaceful, but they don't know that there are also wars in Shu."
Wei Fufeng whispered: "The refugees here may be useful to us."
"It's useful? What do you mean, sir?" Old Feng whispered.
"It's inappropriate to talk about undecided matters." Wei Fufeng replied softly, while Old Feng remained silent.
After walking for a while, Wei Fufeng suddenly looked at a group of people. They were a group of dusty people. A dozen men were surrounding two cars.
Half of them had torn clothes and trousers, and there were obvious wounds on their bodies.
Wei Fufeng walked over, approached, saluted and asked, "Excuse me, where are you from?"
The group of people immediately looked at Wei Fufeng with wary eyes, and soon a young man responded: "Who are you?"
"I am from Shangzhou, and when I meet you, I think I am a fellow villager," Wei Fufeng replied.
"A certain person is from Suizhou," the young man replied.
"Suizhou? Suizhou belongs to Shannan East Road. Could it be that the war on Huainan Road has already affected Suizhou?" Wei Fufeng asked.
"Well, the rebels invaded Suizhou, and we left first." The young man replied.
"I wonder which one, Yang Xingmi or Sun Ru, had the upper hand in the Huainan war?" Wei Fufeng asked again.
"I heard that Yang Xingmi was defeated. We didn't want to fall into the hands of the Sun thieves, so we had to come to Xingyuan Mansion." The young man said, but he dropped his guard against Wei Fufeng.
Wei Fufeng nodded and said: "Sun Ru is cruel and will not let Qin Zongquan harm him."
"Sun Ru is also a cannibal." The young man echoed.
Wei Fufeng nodded and asked: "The eldest brother came from Suizhou, is he an official and gentry of Suizhou?"
"No, my father's official position is Suizhou Sima. Oh, my father was moved to the imperial court." The young man replied, but then explained.
Wei Fufeng nodded and asked: "Eldest brother can come to Xingyuan Mansion, but is it related to Yang Shijun?"
"We are here to seek refuge with Commander Yang. My father has gone to see Commander Yang," the young man replied.
"Defection? Could it be that the eldest brother is related to Yang Shijun?" Wei Fufeng asked in surprise.
"I have no relatives. I heard that Commander Yang was seeking a talent, so I went to see him." The young man replied, looking at Wei Fufeng with some suspicion.
Wei Fufeng smiled, saluted and said: "When you are in a foreign country, it is rare for you and your eldest brother to fall in love with each other at first sight. I hope we can get close to each other in the future. My name is Wei Zheng. Can you tell me your eldest brother's name?"
"A certain Yang Yuntian." The young man also saluted in response.
Wei Fufeng nodded and said, "Brother Yang, take your leave."
"Brother please." Yang Yuntian responded.
Wei Fufeng turned around and walked away, and continued walking with Lao Feng, who was on crutches.
