Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 156 Massage
Wei Yan, who had been tortured with a cane, was lying on the army couch with his bloodshot tiger's back exposed, pulling his back muscles from time to time, his face contorted, and moaning.

If it were an ordinary buttock stick, Wei Yan would be fine if he received a hundred blows; but Wei Yan received a spine stick, beat his back, and suffered bleeding and injuries from twenty blows, and eighty blows was basically equivalent to a death sentence.

Sitting on the army couch, the personal guard who was about to apply medicine to Wei Yan's back said, "General, do you know how arrogant Wang Ping is today?"

Wei Yan turned his head to look in the direction of the guard, frowned and asked, "What do you say? Could it be that Wang Ping humiliated our army brothers today."

The guards were picking up herbs in their hands, and said dissatisfiedly: "This morning, Wang Ping ordered his soldiers to attack the Wei army camp. He personally inserted the red flag and drew a line behind the formation, and told the whole army that there is no other military order. Anyone who withdraws the red flag will be killed immediately." No forgiveness!"

Hearing this, Wei Yan turned his head, resting his chin on the cushion, looked straight ahead, closed his eyes, stopped talking, and felt the cool herbs smearing on his back.

After pondering for a long time, Wei Yan closed his eyes and asked, "Has our military camp been captured today?"

The guard looked embarrassed and said in a low voice: "It has been captured."

Wei Yan opened his eyes and said with a sneer, "It's strange that we can't attack!"

After hearing this, the guards stopped their movements and asked curiously, "Why did the general say that?"

Wei Yan closed his eyes again, causing trouble, and said: "Idiot, the road to the No. [-] camp of the Wei army is narrow and rugged, and it is difficult to deploy the army. Zhang He wants to lure our army, capture the No. [-] camp, and then attack the No. [-] camp. He took advantage of this opportunity to fight our army in the field, taking advantage of the vast terrain in front of the camp, which is convenient for the cavalry to gallop and fight with me in the field."

"Our army lacks cavalry, let alone elite cavalry. Therefore, Zhang Yun hopes to use the elite tiger and leopard cavalry to defeat our army. When our soldiers flee, they must pass through the No. [-] camp. The terrain of the No. [-] camp is narrow, and the soldiers will inevitably trample on it. If there are casualties, they can take advantage of the momentum to cover up the kill, and then they can win."

The personal guard showed surprise, and said respectfully: "The general is wise, I think Wang Ping doesn't know about this matter, if the general doesn't tell, then Wang Ping will be tricked by Zhang Yun and defeated by him."

After the guard finished speaking, he felt a huge force in his abdomen, and instantly fell off the couch, the ground was covered with herbs, and the wooden bowl rolled on the ground.

The personal guard clutched his stomach, and looked at Wei Yan with his bare arms in bewilderment, for some reason Wei Yan got angry.

Wei Yan kicked his guard, got up from the couch, and scolded: "In the eyes of a villain, Wei Yan is such a person who has no regard for the overall situation. Do you know that if Wang Ping continues to lose the army, my great Han Longyou will be in danger!"

The personal guard got up slowly on the ground, obediently, not daring to answer, licking his face and said: "The general is broad-minded, and the villain is short-sighted. I hope the general will forgive me."

Wei Yan snorted softly, and when Fang was about to lie down, he heard the guard say again: "General, why don't you tell Wang Ping about this situation."

Wei Yan was furious, got up and kicked the guard again, kicked him to the ground, stepped barefoot on the ground covered with herbs, pointed at the guard, and cursed angrily: "Idiot! Get out of here!"

The guards were completely confused, not knowing why Wei Yan kept repeating this, but seeing Wei Yan's vicious look, he rolled and crawled out of the tent.

Wei Yan sat on the couch angrily, stepped barefoot on the ground, held his drooping head in both hands, panting heavily.

Wei Yan has long been displeased with Wang Ping, relying on His Majesty Liu Chan's favor, wiped out the bandits, pacified the Nanman, took advantage of Meng Da's rebellion, and captured Xicheng, so he was promoted all the way.Now it is still under his control, supervising the war in Longbei.

Followed the first emperor Liu Bei all the way, went through life and death, fought for more than ten years, how can Wei Yan, who has a long history and high spirits, be able to obey Wang Ping's command.

That's why Wei Yan was very contradictory. On the one hand, he hoped that Wang Ping would defeat Zhang He; on the other hand, he didn't want to see the Longbei battle defeated.

Under the dilemma, it was still difficult for Wei Yan to succumb to Wang Ping and tell Zhang Yun's plan.Because telling Wang Ping is to help him defeat Zhang Yun, Wang Ping can step on Zhang Yun's reputation and rise all the way.This made Wei Yan, who hated Wang Ping, feel at ease.

But if Wang Ping is not told, the battle in Longbei will be defeated, and the Northern Expedition will fall short. This will make Wei Yan, who is deeply favored by the country, feel even more at ease.

Just when Wei Yan was struggling, he suddenly heard a sound coming from outside the tent.

"I don't know if General Wei is safe, whether Ping can be credited." Wang Ping asked in a clear voice while he was outside.

Wei Yanzheng was sullen, and after hearing the sound, he immediately lay down on the couch, wrapped in a blanket, and said emotionally: "My lower back hurts, and I just want to rest. The general has something to do, can we talk about it tomorrow."

Wang Ping was not embarrassed either, he held the medicinal wine and shouted: "I have medicinal wine for treating back injuries, and Ping will apply it to the general."

After Wang Ping finished speaking, he opened the curtain and stepped into the tent. He saw Wei Yan lying on the couch with his back at a glance, but he couldn't see himself.

Wei Yan said coldly: "The general broke into other people's tents privately, I'm afraid it will be rude."

Wang Ping laughed at himself and said, "I'm a barbarian! I'm from a poor family, and I don't know etiquette. I hope you don't blame the general."

Wei Yan was at a loss for words for a moment, and didn't know how to answer, but he couldn't see Wang Ping, or he was being rude.

So Wei Yan got up, sat on the couch, looked at Wang Ping, and said calmly: "I don't know why the general came to extend the tent?"

Wang Ping brought up the medicinal wine, shook it, and said with a smile, "This is the master's secret recipe. I rubbed the medicinal wine on my back until it was hot, and within a day, the back injury healed. I wonder if General Wei has used it before?"

Looking at the medicinal wine, Wei Yan seemed to recall something, snorted coldly, and said, "An Neng has never used it, this is General Zhao's secret recipe."

Wang Ping took a bowl from the table, slowly poured the medicinal wine into the bowl, and said with a smile: "The general can lie on the couch, and Ping will wipe it for the general. Ordinary people don't know this method."

When Wei Yan was about to refuse, Wang Ping stepped forward and pushed Wei Yan to lie down. Wei Yan half pushed and half fell down, lying on the couch.

Wang Ping slowly poured the medicinal wine all over Wei Yanhu's back, rubbed his hands a few times, spread his hands, and kept pinching Wei Yanhu's back.

While holding it, Wang Ping said warmly, "I don't know when General Wei used this medicinal wine."

Wei Yan couldn't help reminiscing about the past, and said slowly: "More than ten years ago, Yan followed the late emperor in Jingzhou and served as a small soldier. General Zhao served as the general of Yamen (Note ①), and personally led and trained us. Yan was injured many times. General Zhao So he waited for me to massage himself."

Wang Ping pushed the boat along, and said sadly: "It's a pity that Master has been getting old in recent years. Whenever it is rainy, his hands and feet are sore, and medicinal wine is useless."

Wei Yan sighed quietly, and said: "General Zhao beheaded Wang Shuang, which is not inferior to Lian Po's courage. I hope General Zhao can live a few more years, now Longyou is basically settled, and in a few years, it will be just around the corner to return to the old capital. "

Wang Ping showed worry, and said slowly: "Longyou has been settled, why did the general say that? Zhang He led ten thousand people to fight with us, if Zhang He is not defeated, how can Longyou be stabilized?"

Wei Yan pondered for a long time, and finally said: "General..."

"Just call me Zijun." Wang Ping said.

After hearing the sound, the corners of Wei Yan's lips turned upward. Wei Yan still recognized Wang Ping's humility tonight, and most of his dissatisfaction with him dissipated.

Thinking that war is the most important thing, Wei Yan re-analyzed the war.
-
① Yamen generals are divided into Chinese and foreign military positions. Foreign army Yamen generals are worthless, but Chinese army Yamen generals have far-reaching significance.

Zhao Yun was the general of Liu Bei's army at the time, and Wei Yan was from Liu Bei's trilogy. It can be guessed that Wei Yan's first boss was Zhao Yun.

(If everyone likes it, I will write a chapter dedicated to Zhao Yun's status in the Shuhan later!)
