Chapter 2334 needles hidden in cotton
Wei Ji stood in front of Sun Ce, feeling nervous.
This was the first time he had faced Sun Ce after arriving in Jianye. He followed Xun Yu all the way. He always felt that he was a refugee in the household and would be in trouble once he was discovered. He couldn't sleep at night and often woke up in the middle of the night and sat alone until dawn.
Looking at the fast boots on Sun Ce's feet, Wei Ji's heartbeats and his hands and feet were numb. Xun Yu asked him to come to see Sun Ce, but he didn't say anything. The honor, disgrace, misfortune, fortune, fortune, life and death, and life and death are all in Sun Ce's thoughts, and he couldn't help but be nervous.
After a while, Sun Ce withdrew his gaze from the wheat fields on both sides of the Huai River, turned around, glanced at Wei Ji, and said lightly: "Why are there no names of your children in the roster?"
Wei Ji was stunned for a moment, a little embarrassed. "Report to the king, Ji... has no children yet."
"Oh?" Sun Ce smacked his lips and said nothing. Wei Ji heard it, but he seemed to have been stabbed by a needle, with red face and uneasy all over. Sun Ce paused for a moment and said again, "I want to send someone to Yizhou to persuade him to surrender. Doctor Xun recommended you, you won't go and go back, right?"
When he heard that he was asked to serve on an envoy, Wei Ji was overjoyed. Before he could get happy, he was scared to death by Sun Ce's words. Hundreds of men, women, young and old in the Wei family were not deprived of officials and slaves, waiting for him to rescue him. If he could serve on an envoy, it means that Sun Ce had the idea of letting him go. If he had no children, he was worried that he would not come back and deprived him of this opportunity, he would not know when next time, and it would be hard to say whether there would be any more.
In the face of life and death, Wei Ji did not hesitate too much and knelt down with a "thump". "The king clearly understands that he has been married for more than 20 years, and has no son or daughter. I am afraid that he has innate evil deeds and has difficulty having children. Those who can be trusted in a hundred years will only be children of the clan. If he stays in Yizhou and is not a loss, no one will sacrifice him in all four seasons and eight festivals, wouldn't he become a lonely ghost? Therefore, even if Yizhou has many difficulties and dangers, he dare not resign. Even if Yizhou has high officials and generous salaries, he will not dare to stay. He will be heartbroken and live up to the mission of the king. In case of misfortune, please forgive the Wei clan and die without regrets."
Sun Ce raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but look at Wei Ji with admiration. It was definitely not that Wei Ji was famous for his reputation in such a short time. No wonder he was able to give birth to a son like Wei Guan later, and to destroy Deng Ai, Zhong Hui and Jiang Wei with his own strength. Let him go to Yizhou to make trouble, it is best for everyone to do his best.
"Since that's the case, you can prepare and meet your family before leaving. This task is difficult, and maybe it's the last time."
"Here." Wei Ji felt relieved and bowed back. After getting off Feilu, he breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he realize that his shirt was wet and his legs were a little weak. He held the railing and calmed down, and then walked towards Guo Jia's cabin.
After being transferred to the military priest, Guo Jia's cabin did not change. The heavily guarded data cabin was still under his control. However, the people who could enter the cabin to check the information made adjustments and assigned different authority according to different levels. Wei Ji had not yet joined the job and could not enter the cabin, so he could only ask the tiger soldiers on duty to report and stood outside the cabin. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he made some preparations for the task to be performed so that he could report to Guo Jia.
Not long after, Guo Jia walked out, and Liu Ye walked side by side with him, saying something while walking. Seeing Wei Ji standing outside the cabin door, Liu Ye looked slightly and walked away without waiting for Wei Ji to return the greeting. Wei Kai dared not speak out, and looked helpless.
Guo Jia smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about him, he is like this to everyone."
Wei Ji agreed: "It is understandable that he is a royal family and becomes famous when he becomes a young man."
Guo Jia looked at Wei Ji in surprise, remembered Xun Yu's evaluation of Wei Ji, and secretly admired Xun Yu for knowing people. Wei Ji's words seemed to be a relief for Liu Ye, but in fact, the royal family of Liu Ye was born in the previous dynasty, and the last emperor and the king were in Yizhou. For Sun Ce, who was seeking a new dynasty, Liu Ye's identity was extremely sensitive and easily criticized. Even if Sun Ce was generous, he could not ignore the ideas of others. Liu Ye failed to replace him as a military advisor and sacrificial wine. It was not because of his identity, but Liu Ye was arrogant and talented and refused to pretend to be a fake color. There were many people who offended him secretly.
Wei Ji is a cruel character if he says he lives a person and kills him.
"Boru, have you ever seen the king?" Guo Jia withdrew his gaze and smiled.
“See it.”
"What are your plans for this mission to Yizhou?"
Wei Ji was prepared for a long time, but hesitated for a moment. "I am afraid there is no hope of persuading surrender. If you can inquire about some of the facts of Yizhou and be the guide of the army, you may be able to barely be competent."
"Let me tell me." While speaking, he came to Guo Jia's official service class. Guo Jia took a seat and ordered someone to serve tea, wine and snacks, and asked Wei Ji to take a seat.
"Here." Wei Ji took the seat, took the tea, took a sip, ate two more pieces of snacks, and then said, "There are bright rooms in the room, and the secret rooms, and the mission is bright rooms. The reason why I chose me was not only because of the kind-hearted heart of the king and the opportunity to make meritorious contributions to save my family, but I am afraid that I once worked at the Chang'an imperial court and met some scholars in Yizhou."
Guo Jia held a celadon teacup in one hand and a feather fan in the other, smiling, and looked at Wei Ji quietly. He was very curious about Wei Ji. Wei Ji's identity as a doctor on this mission was not so much a mission, but it was more accurate to humiliate Cao Cao and kill people with a knife. However, Wei Ji's few words aroused his interest, and he even considered whether to transfer Wei Ji to the Military Information Office.
The outside is round and square inside, smart and fierce, Wei Ji is very suitable for the scene. However, it is difficult for such people to master, and they will backfire if they are not careful.
Wei Ji knew that Guo Jia was looking at him, and that Guo Jia was good at observing his face, but pretended not to know and talked happily in response to Guo Jia's eyes. "This time, the situation in Hedong was unknown and the situation in Chang'an was related to the situation in Chang'an, but it also had a lot to do with closing his eyes and not understanding the new policy of Kanto. Hearing from the hearsay, it is inevitable that he would be distorted. Therefore, all the tribes in Hedong were uneasy and wanted to abide by Liu Bei to resist the king's army. It was reasonable to lose the battle. This time, all the things I saw along the way opened my eyes and knew what happened yesterday. The wind in Jiangdong was even more shocking, as if it were three generations. I was amazed and regretted it. If I had known one or two, why would I make this big mistake?"
Wei Ji sighed and shook his wry smiled. "It's still like this in Hedong, and Yizhou can be imagined. The reason why the scholars and common people in Yizhou supported Cao Cao is probably related to not knowing the new policy of the king. If someone explains it, the fool will know where to go. In this regard, who can be more suitable than us Hedong people? Even if someone suspects that I have no choice, he will send someone to investigate and decide to stay or not."
Guo Jia smiled. "Bo Ru's three-inch tongue can be used as a hundred thousand soldiers. This time he goes to Yizhou, he will definitely be completed. On the day of his return, the green ribbon can be brought."
Wei Ji was familiar with the rules and regulations, so he naturally knew what Qingshou meant. He also knew that although Guo Jia was not a gentleman, he was not so ridiculous that he made a promise casually. He must have been approved by the King of Wu. He looked at Guo Jia for a moment and bowed.
"I have to give this saying to you, and go through fire and water, and I will never refuse."
After seeing off Wei Ji, Guo Jia sat alone for a while, got up and came to Sun Ce's cabin.
Sun Ce was leaning against the window, listening to Liu He playing the piano, watching Zhen Mi dance, and seeing Guo Jia come in, Zhen Mi put away the dance posture and went out with Liu He. Guo Jia sat down opposite Sun Ce, picked up the teacup on the table, poured a cup on his own, and drank it all in one go.
Seeing Guo Jia's appearance, Sun Ce couldn't help laughing. "It seems that Wei Ji is really a little tricky. After so many years, it's the first person who can make Feng Xiao so entangled."
Guo Jia smiled bitterly. "The king hit the nail on the head. I really love and fear this Wei Ji. I love him and be quick and afraid of him. I am afraid of his ruthlessness. A few words seem to be gentle and ashamed, but in fact they are hidden criticisms, which makes people unable to guard against."
Guo Jia repeated what Wei Ji had just said. Sun Ce was secretly surprised after listening quietly. He had never underestimated Wei Ji, but after hearing these words of Wei Ji, he still felt cold. It seemed that Wei Guan's ruthlessness was not self-taught, but it was passed down from family, and it was Wei Ji's genes. In just a few words, he not only liberated the Hedong family, but also sued Yang Xiuyi, and made a request after the time.
How could a person be so smart? It was no accident that the Wei family made their fortunes during the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
"What do you think?"
"Does the king want to use him?"
“How to say it?”
Guo Jia said seriously: "If you want to use it, you should win over your heart and get the power of death. If you don't want to use it, you can't give it this opportunity, or simply take this opportunity to get rid of it to avoid future troubles."
Seeing that Guo Jia was so serious, Sun Ce had to consider it seriously. He had a preconceived bad impression of Wei Ji, but now he had to remind Guo Jia that he had indeed had murderous intentions, so he simply got rid of Wei Ji. Anyway, he had no descendants yet, so if he killed him, his bloodline would be cut off.
Sun Ce pondered for a long time, but finally gave up. Killing people because of potential danger is inconsistent with his philosophy. If we talk about potential danger, who does not have potential danger? If Wei Ji can kill him, wouldn’t he be more likely to kill the generals with heavy troops?
"The biggest fear is not the opponent, but the fear of oneself." Sun Ce said with a smile. "You are too worried."
Guo Jia did not explain. He knew that Sun Ce could not agree with his suggestion, but he had the responsibility to remind Sun Ce. He immediately changed the topic and discussed with Sun Ce about the expansion of the MIIS. He added some people from the Military Affairs Office, but it was still far from enough. Both battlefields of Bingzhou and Yizhou need preparations, and it is also a mountainous area that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The difficulty of dispatching detailed works has increased greatly, and the news lag will be very serious. He needs more intelligence analysts and collectors, and also needs to design some special tools and weapons.
"King, I need to build some equipment, and it is best to arrange someone who is proficient in this path to take responsibility."
"Who do you like?"
"Mo Ze, the master of Nanyang Wood School, and Zhang Fen, the master of Runan Wood School, if possible, please ask Master Huang to assign some powerful people, such as the young craftsman named Pu Yuan."
Before Guo Jia finished speaking, Sun Ce laughed. Guo Jia wanted to do a big job and build the Military Intelligence Department into a core department, and all the elite backbones were drawn. However, this is consistent with his philosophy. The Military Intelligence Department should have the support of technology and cannot always rely on the most primitive methods.
"Okay, come and draw a list."
