Chapter 73: Sima Hui is tempted, but Zhang Song refuses
Have friends come from afar?
Wei Shi's attitude towards Sima Hui and others was very different from that towards Han Song and Cai An.
This made the three people who decided to stay gradually feel more at ease.
"Mr. Shui Jing, the reason why the Han Dynasty declined was because of the quarrels between officials and officials, frequent disasters, and constant rebellions. In fact, the differences between scholars and common people are as great as the world. If the children of poor families want to stand out, there is only one word: difficult!"
"By recommending filial piety and integrity, nobles and nobles can rise to the top and become officials, but we, the common people, study hard and learn a lot of economics, but they have no use for it."
"I don't know how many people in the world who are governors and governors of the prefectures and counties in the world are from the noble family, but the person who became an official from a poor family is Liao Liao. If Shi marries with the Cai family and his status as a poor family disappears, how will your majesty look at it, and how will the poor people in the world look at it...
....”
"Haha, these are actually excuses. The fundamental reason is that the stone and the clumsy tree are in love with each other. They have a very harmonious relationship and cannot bear to be separated. Having a good wife at home is more comfortable than having a fierce wife at home..."
In front of Sima Hui, Zhang Song and others, Wei Shi no longer concealed his thoughts and revealed the cause and effect of his unwillingness to accept the marriage with the Cai family.
Sima Hui listened patiently to Wei Shi's words and nodded from time to time.
He was a little dissatisfied with Wei Shi just now, but he couldn't help but secretly marvel when he heard that Wei Shi's conversation was no longer rude as before, and his judgment on the situation in the world was more insightful.
Wei Shi, a small county prefect with no background, was able to obtain the title of Emperor Liu Xie. This is an ability in itself.
From Wei Shi's narration, Sima Hui also understood that Wei Shi's decision to not rely on others and only be loyal to the emperor made him leave an impression on Liu Xie.
Being a pure minister of the emperor is a way out.
However, it is too difficult to not rely on others and only rely on yourself to work hard.
"Hui just has a bad reputation in Nanjun and cannot deserve the approval of Mr. Wei. If Mr. Wei allows him, Hui would like to stay in Shangyong for a while, just to see how the people from the country he mentioned are doing now."
Sima Hui became interested in Wei Shi and decided to stay and observe for a while.
"Mr. Shui Jing is willing to stay in the three counties. Shi Zi will treat you kindly. If you need anything, just ask. By the way, I will ask Han Jin to accompany you on your trip, just in case."
Wei Shi smiled confidently and ordered.
Sima Hui wanted to see the real situation, but Wei Shi was not worried at all.
Whether they were locals who moved from the inner countryside, or native people from Fangling or Shangyong, Wei Shi believed that they had their own justice in mind and would give a fair evaluation of his governance.
There is no need to worry about Sima Hui, Wei Shi is confident to win his favor.
As for whether Sima Hui is willing to stay, that is not within Wei Shi's consideration. He only acts according to his heart. He also believes that a hermit like Sima Hui will have his own value judgment.
In comparison, Zhang Song and Meng Da, the two envoys of Liu Zhang, were more difficult to deal with than Sima Hui.
After rejecting the Cai family's request for marriage, the relationship between Wei Shi and Liu Biao was bound to become tense. At this time, it became even more important to have a good relationship with Liu Zhang.
"Although Lord Wei occupied the two counties of Fangling and Shangyong, he was surrounded by powerful enemies, such as the Xiliang Yu bandits in Guanzhong, Cao Mengde in the north, and especially Zhang Lu in Hanzhong. The rice thief was poisoned by him, and his personality
He is so fierce that he is not afraid of death, so I am afraid that I will not be able to compete with Zhang Lu with my own strength."
"My lord, Daitian has been in charge of Mu Yizhou for two generations. Now he intends to form an alliance with Wei Fujun to fight against the rice thieves in Hanzhong. I wonder if Fujun has any intention?"
Zhang Song witnessed the dispute between Wei Shi and Han Song during the day. That night, he avoided Sima Hui and others and came to Wei Shi's house to ask for an audience.
As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhang Song said good things for Liu Zhang, which made Wei Shi, who knew who Zhang Song was, very amused.
"Brother Zhang, I heard that Liu Ziyu is weak and can be bullied. There are many complaints from the children in Shu, saying that he is not a Ming Lord who can be assisted. Isn't Brother Zhang coming to Shu this time to find a Ming Lord?"
Wei Shi smiled and exposed Zhang Song's disguise directly.
To deal with a resourceful man like Zhang Song who had already had different intentions, Wei Shi preferred to be straightforward and defeat his psychological defenses by surprise. Only in this way could he take the initiative in the conversation.
Zhang Song's face darkened, and his expression became more and more ugly. He hesitated for a while and said: "No, no, what the Lord Wei said is wrong. My lord is sitting on the fertile soil of Yizhou, and his troops are well-fed. Of course he is wise."
Lord."
"Okay, Brother Zhang, next, do you want to go to Xudu to ask for an audience with Cao Da Sikong? From what I can see, Brother Zhang is probably bringing humiliation to himself and returning in vain."
"If Brother Zhang comes back disappointed, he can come to Dongsan County to discuss the details. Shi believes that by then, Brother Zhang will definitely understand who is the best partner to cooperate with."
Wei Shi looked directly at the frightened Zhang Song and said in a deep voice.
At this time, Zhang Song was not the unlucky guy after being humiliated by Cao Cao.
Before hitting the south wall, in Zhang Song's eyes, Wei Shi was only regarded as an assistant in Zhang Lu's attack, and he did not recognize Wei Shi as the master who served him.
Therefore, Wei Shi is not in a hurry.
He was waiting for Zhang Song to come back disgraced from Xudu. When the time came, Zhang Song would not take the initiative to present the geographical map of Xichuan and tell Liu Zhang's army's defense situation.
"Well, since Wei Fujun has seen through it, Song will not hide it anymore. Liu Ziyu inherited his father's business, but he can't stabilize Bashu. Song Guanzhi is not a wise master, so he found an opportunity to go out to Sichuan to visit the princes. Wei Fujun is here
This is the first stop. Next, Song will go to Xudu and Xinye..."
Zhang Song's triangular eyes narrowed, and he did not agree with Wei Shi's conclusion that he went to Xudu to be humiliated.
He has interacted with many famous people in Jingzhou these days, and he has heard many good things about Cao Cao's talents and strategies from their mouths. No matter how you look at it, this Cao Dashong does not seem to be a narrow-minded person.
"Brother Zhang, go ahead and come back quickly. By the time Brother Zhang turns back, the road from Shangyong to Yuyi should be passable. By then, if Liu Yizhou wants to get out of Sichuan, it would be good to go to Yongzhou instead of Jingzhou.
s Choice."
Wei Shi didn't care about Zhang Song's stubbornness.
Zhang Song was not a righteous man, and he could not afford Wei Shi's excessive concern.
Moreover, judging from the circumstances of Zhang Song's subsequent killing, it can be seen that this man was a man of crazy nature and did not pay attention to small details, so it was difficult for him to achieve great things.
"The road from Shangyong to Yuyi is the Wushan Road. If this road is open, what great contribution will the Wei Dynasty make?" Zhang Song nodded with a cold face, quite approving of Wei Shi's construction of a new road out of Bashu.
After sending Zhang Song away, Wei Shi finally had the opportunity to return to his home.
When Han Qiang heard Wei Shi's turn, she carefully prepared the meal and waited early.
She had already heard from Han Jin that the Cai family sent Cai An to seek marriage, but Wei Shi refused.
"I am a humble person, but I am extremely grateful to be loved by Wei Lang. Last time, I told Wei Lang that I must hurry up when it comes to having a child..."
