Chapter Eighteen Undercurrent

Nanyang, Wancheng.

After Wei Ji learned that Lu Bu wanted to marry Ye Zhao, he rushed from Yin County to Wancheng and argued with Lu Bu. Unfortunately, Cao Ang was dead, and with the fallen geese blowing some breeze around him from time to time, Lu Bu has now made up his mind to form an alliance with Ye Zhao and then join forces to attack Cao Cao.

Wei Ji's plea was naturally rejected.

"I know that Boru and the Prime Minister have some misunderstandings, but now the situation has come to this point, so Boru doesn't need to say anything more." Lu Bu waved his hand a little annoyed.

Wei Ji wanted to slap Lu Bu to death. What a little misunderstanding of the gods, the Wei family was brought to light by Ye Zhao. Is this a few misunderstandings that can be resolved by just two understatement?

"General!" Wei Ji said hoarsely: "I'll talk about my family, but I'm the general. If we form an alliance with Ye Zhao at this time, Nanyang will no longer be governed by the general and will be annexed by Ye Zhao sooner or later!"

"Enough!" Lu Bu slapped his handrail and stood up, a fierce light appeared in his eyes. He looked at Wei Jishen and said, "Since you defected to me, you have secretly greedyed how much military ration has been used to restore your Wei family under the name of resisting the prime minister. Do you really think you don't know? At this time, you try your best to stop this matter, I'm afraid it's fake for me, so it's true that you've robbed your food and salary!"

Wei Ji's body was shocked and he looked at Lu Bu incredibly.

"If you don't know that you don't do it yourself, I won't pursue this matter, but the alliance with the Prime Minister is a foregone conclusion. Don't say more." Lu Bu waved his hand and said, "Lingqi and the prince are about to get married. You are tired all the way. Go down and rest first. Go back and wait until you finish the wedding banquet before leaving."

Wei Ji looked at Lu Bu, took a deep breath, bowed and turned around and left.

After leaving Lu Bu's general's mansion, Wei Ji looked back and shook his head and sneered.

Indeed, he was greedy. After all, the Wei family was in a disaster and wanted to rise again, so it was naturally inseparable from money. Wei Ji himself was not good at doing business, and as his identity, he did not bother to do such things, so he could only think of ways to military rations.

But how much he did for Lu Bu over the years? The population of the four cities that Lu Bu gave him was not even enough for thousands of households. It was because he worked hard over the years that he collected a lot of people from Jingxiang. Now, the total population of the four cities is over 10,000 households, which seems to be small. But in fact, it has increased more than three times more than when he took over. Although he has embezzled so many merits, he has only embezzled military supplies within the allowed scope, which has not deteriorated the combat effectiveness of the army. Moreover, the taxes paid by the four counties each year have increased by as much as before. This is all the contributions made by Wei Ji. Now that Lu Bu does not talk about his merits, he only says guilt, which really makes Wei Ji a little disappointed.

More importantly, he chose to defect to Lu Bu in order to seek revenge on Ye Zhao. As a prince who borders Ye Zhao and constantly conflicts, Lu Bu is naturally the number one choice for Wei Ji, who is eager to take revenge.

But now that Lu Bu wants to form an alliance with Ye Zhao, Wei Ji will naturally be the first to refuse to agree without saying what the generals under his tent think.

"Mr. Wei." Wei Ji was about to leave, but saw a person walking out of the general's mansion and stopped Wei Ji.

Wei Ji turned his head, looked at the person coming, frowned slightly, "General Gao is here, what's the matter?"

The person who came was Gao Sheng. Wei Ji had no good impression of this person and was not very capable. However, with flattery, he was so stubborn under Lu Bu's command, which made Wei Ji very dislike.

"This is not a place to talk. I wonder if Mr. Wei can move on?" Gao Sheng looked around sneakily and whispered: "The lord wants to marry Ye Zhao, but I am just as dissatisfied as the lord. But the lord has made up his mind and is humble in the lower position, so it is difficult to convince the lord."

Wei Ji didn't want to deal with Gao Sheng at first, but when he heard this, his eyes lit up, looked at Gao Sheng and nodded silently.

Under Gao Sheng's leadership, the two went straight to Gao Sheng's mansion. Gao Sheng, as Lu Bu's favorite minister, had a large manor in Wancheng, covering a very wide area. Gao Sheng took Wei Ji to a small courtyard and ordered his confidant to keep it at the gate of the courtyard, and no one was allowed to enter.

"What does General Gao mean?" Wei Ji looked at Gao Sheng and said.

"I'm not to hide it. Ye Zhao and I have some grudges. If Ye Zhao takes charge of Nanyang in the future, there will be no way out." Gao Sheng looked at Wei Ji and said in a stern manner.

"So what? Since General Lu has made up his mind, even if you and I are dissatisfied, what's the use?" Wei Ji narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Gao Sheng.

"So, I came to discuss with you." Gao Sheng smiled and said, "Although Lu Bu was in charge of Nanyang and the land of Runan, he has been mean and merciless over the years. Many generals have long complained in their hearts. If Mr. Boru is willing, he will be willing to take Mr. as the main person, help the teacher to correct the situation and take charge of Nanyang!"

Wei Ji's eyes shrank, looked at Wei Ji without saying anything, and after a long time, he shook his head and said, "It's possible to win just by relying on you and me."

Gao Sheng smiled slightly when he heard this: "Sir, the army in Zhuyang has been repeatedly attacking Shangyong, but he has used this to recruit soldiers. As far as I know, the army under his command now has at least 10,000 elite soldiers."

Wei Ji looked at Gao Sheng, narrowed his eyes and said, "But there are more than 100,000 people under Lu Bu's command."

Now Lu Bu not only occupied Nanyang, but also annexed several counties in Runan and Yingchuan. The two counties in Runan and Nanyang alone were worth a certain area. In addition, he surrendered Yuan Shao's old subordinates, so he had many troops.

"What if Cao Gong's secret support is added?" Gao Sheng said confidently.

"You..." Wei Ji looked at Gao Sheng, shook his head and sighed: "General Gao really made me look at him with admiration."

"It's not that I'm a seller, if Lu Bu didn't listen to the honest advice, I would never accept Cao Gong's recruitment." Gao Sheng looked at Wei Ji and said, "It's not to be hiding it. Yesterday, Chen Lin, a counselor under Cao Gong, came to see him secretly. He is willing to support the knowledgeable people to overthrow Lu Bu's tyranny and return Nanyang to peace!"

After hearing this, Wei Ji thought for a moment and shook his head and said, "Although this is the case, Cao Cao can only make a foreign aid, but not rely on it."

Wei Ji naturally knew what Cao Cao was thinking, but Wei Ji was not Gao Sheng. He knew even more that Cao Cao could not divide his troops now, and even if he could, Wei Ji would refuse, because if he accepted Cao Cao's assistance, he would be just a puppet.

After experiencing the incident of Lu Bu, Wei Ji no longer wanted to be a thug for others. He wanted to be his own master. Therefore, Cao Cao could form an alliance, but Cao Cao would never send troops.

"Then..." Gao Sheng frowned slightly when he heard this and looked at Wei Ji. Although he contacted Cao Cao, he was a fool and could not think of Wei Ji as deeply.

"First, borrow a few assassins from Cao Gong." Wei Ji thought, "This seizure of power cannot allow civil strife in Nanyang. Otherwise, Ye Zhao, Cao Cao, and Liu Biao would not miss such a good opportunity. Therefore, if you and I want to attack, they can only assassinate Lu Bu at the wedding banquet. In addition, Wei Xu, Song Xian and Gao Shun are in charge of defense in Nanyang, and may they secretly convince them?"

"Wei Xu is Lu Bu's wife's brother, and it's hard to convince him." Gao Sheng shook his head and said, "As for Gao Shun, this person, Mr. Bo Ru, doesn't have to think about it. Even if Wei Xu will rebel against Lu Bu, he won't."

Wei Ji was a little regretful when he heard this. Although all the generals under Lu Bu were considered brave and were good at leading troops, if Wei Ji was the one who was most attracted to him, Gao Shun was probably the only one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one who was the one

"Song Xian is quite dissatisfied with Lu Bu. In recent years, Lu Bu rewarded all the generals with the least, but in terms of credit, he is no worse than others." Gao Sheng pondered.

Although Gao Sheng failed to succeed in literature and martial arts, there was not much martial arts, but in terms of thinking about people's thoughts, Gao Sheng still has some experience after so many years.

"Since the two of them cannot be used by me, then I will adjust these two people!" Wei Ji said in a deep voice: "Is there a way?"

"If Hou can succeed or fail once, I can try to transfer Gao Shun and Wei Xu to Xinye." Gao Sheng's eyes lit up.

"This is not difficult. I have some friendship with the Cai family in Jingzhou, which may help me." Wei Ji nodded and said, "But are you sure?"

"80%!" Gao Sheng thought for a while and said, "If it were just one of these two people, I would be 100% sure that I could persuade Lu Bu to transfer one of them."

"Then choose Gao Shun!" Wei Ji said in a deep voice.

"But..." Gao Sheng looked at Wei Ji and hesitated: "Then Mr. Lu Bu Zhiyong should know that even if Mr. Cao sent him here, it would be difficult to kill him."

"A reckless, I have my own way!" Wei Ji said coldly.

For Lu Bu, he has helped him manage the local area over the years and has calculated his kindness from that time. Since Lu Bu insisted on forming an alliance with Ye Zhao today, he could only ask him to die!

"When will you do it?" Gao Sheng frowned.
