The elite did not migrate south

Chapter 516 Bystanders understand
"Boyue! Why are you so late?!"

When Jiang Wei tied himself up, opened the checkpoint gate and went to surrender, Zhuge Dan hadn't said anything yet, but Zhong Hui couldn't help but run over.

Jiang Wei looked at the young man in front of him in surprise.

Just as Zhong Hui was about to help him up, he heard Chen Qian clearing his throat.

Zhong Hui was stunned and had no choice but to get up and return to Zhuge Dan.

Zhuge Dan was really furious at this moment.

Who is the main general between us?
Even if you were sent by the emperor, you can't come to me and ask the enemy general to surrender, right?
This is simply not taking me seriously!

Of course, Zhuge Dan did not get angry. He walked slowly to Jiang Wei and lowered his head to examine the "natural disaster" in front of him.

For the State of Wei, Jiang Wei was really no different from a natural disaster. It would happen every few years, and once it happened, it would make the local people's lives miserable.

Even the ministers had become accustomed to Jiang Wei's appearances.

But at this moment, this scourge of the Great Wei surrendered right in front of him.

This gave Zhuge Dan great satisfaction.

This battle to destroy Shu was extremely smooth, even smoother than many people expected.

The Shu and Wu kingdoms only had the advantage of location, not the other advantages.

Perhaps even Deng Ai did not expect things to go so smoothly.

When Zhuge Dan learned that Deng Ai had captured Chengdu, he was bewildered. So were Zhong Hui and others. They all felt that Deng Ai's move was too fierce and enough to crush the performance of all of them.

Of course, his previous behavior of bypassing the chain of command and launching a private attack was subconsciously ignored by everyone. After all, the other party had made such a great contribution.

If everyone benefits, there's no need to hold on to it.

If he had failed, he would definitely have been held accountable. Now that he has won, let's just pretend that nothing happened.

Zhuge Dan helped Jiang Wei to his feet and said with a smile, "I have long heard of your name, General, and it is a pleasure to meet you today."

Jiang Wei simply lowered his head, "A defeated general wouldn't dare do that."

Although Jiang Wei had caused great harm to the State of Wei, Zhuge Dan had no intention of humiliating him.

First of all, the Wu Kingdom has not yet been destroyed. If we defeat the Shu Kingdom and start to treat them badly, what will the people of Wu think when they see it?

But if the Wei people could not even pursue Jiang Wei, then the resistance they would encounter when they attacked Wu in the future would definitely be much weaker.

Moreover, Zhuge Dan himself was a veteran celebrity, and he would not do something like Deng Ai's massacre.

He still has self-restraint towards those who have surrendered.

Zhong Hui was extremely excited. At this moment, he stared at Jiang Wei, as if he was afraid that he would run away. He wanted to go up and talk to him several times, but Chen Qian held his sleeve tightly, his eyes full of helplessness.

This guy's celebrity addiction has struck again!!
We can't interrupt the general at this time!
Zhuge Dan exchanged a few pleasantries with Jiang Wei before leading everyone into the world's most imposing pass.

The fall of Jiange also marked the disappearance of the last resistance force of Shu Kingdom, and the Shu Kingdom was officially declared extinct.

After the Wei army broke into Jiange, the joy on the faces of the soldiers was hard to conceal.

Wen Yang immediately grabbed Hu Fen's hand and said excitedly, "We have destroyed Shu! We have destroyed it!"

Hu Fen's hands were hurt by him, but he still had to force a smile and nodded awkwardly.

All the soldiers in the army were very happy.

Zhuge Dan directly ordered a reward for the army and asked the soldiers to reorganize in Jiange.

He also held a banquet, mainly to appease the many surrendered generals including Jiang Wei.

When Jiang Shu sat next to Jiang Wei, the embarrassment on his face was simply indescribable.

But Jiang Wei's mind was not on him, and he didn't even make eye contact with him.

At this moment, Zhong Hui moved closer to Jiang Wei and sat down next to him.

Jiang Wei was also confused about this.

He has always wanted to find a suitable opportunity to sow discord between the enemy's main force and Deng Ai, and preferably to make Deng Ai do something more extreme.

But for some reason, Zhong Hui kept sticking to him and staring at him.

Jiang Wei suddenly became alert. Could it be that this guy had discovered his thoughts and was deliberately spying on him?
It is said that Zhong Hui is a great enemy of our Shu Kingdom and is unfathomable. Perhaps this is true.

Zhong Hui picked up the wine cup with a smile.

"Come, Bo Yue, let's drink another cup!"

"You don't know this, but His Majesty admires you very much and always talks about you around me. Now that he knows you've surrendered, I wonder how happy His Majesty must be!"

"Is a man's achievements limited to one place?"

"When you return to Chang'an with me, His Majesty will certainly make important use of you, General. The Xianbei in the east, the Qiang and Hu in the west, are the real enemies of China. A true man should lead an expedition to the frontier and conquer the Wolf's Lair!"

Zhong Hui's face was full of anticipation.

For some reason, Jiang Wei fell silent after hearing these words.

Is this the legendary Emperor Cao Wei?
Due to different positions, Jiang Wei has been reprimanding the emperor without reservation, but after hearing what Zhong Hui said and experiencing his current situation, Jiang Wei had to say that Cao Wei was very lucky. After choosing and selecting, Sima Shi actually chose such a strong man to be the emperor.

Alas, if it were my Majesty.
A trace of loneliness flashed in Jiang Wei's eyes.

Zhuge Dan was smiling and praising the many brave generals under his command at this moment, and Jiang Wei suddenly came to his senses.

Zhuge Dan looked at him and asked, "Bo Yue, tomorrow we will set off for Chengdu. You can go with us." Jiang Wei was a little hesitant at this moment, and was hesitant to speak.

He looked at the people around him, then whispered, "Captain, I have something I want to tell you."

"If I return to Chengdu, please remove me from my position as general and confer me a lower rank. Otherwise, I will not dare to go."

"what?!"

Zhuge Dan was stunned. He looked at Jiang Wei and said in astonishment, "What do you mean? How can I confer a title on you?"

Jiang Wei looked up and asked in surprise, "Why not?"

"After General Deng Ai arrived in Chengdu, he presented titles to the generals and ministers on behalf of the emperor. He appointed the emperor as General of the Cavalry and the crown prince as Commandant of the Imperial Chariots. He also demanded that the governor of Yizhou and other officials in Shu surrender to him."

"I am still a general. If I go to Chengdu, I will be suspected of surpassing my former master. Therefore, I dare not go. Please confer me a slightly lower official title."

Zhuge Dan was completely shocked.

His hands became stiff, and he held the wine cup in his hand, looking blankly at the generals in front of him.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly froze.

Wen Yang had the worst temper, and he threw the wine cup in his hand to the ground.

"Okay, this fellow Deng Ai is planning a rebellion!!"

"How dare he reward the monarch of Shu?! How audacious!"

"General, please allow me to go to Chengdu now and capture this man alive!"

When Wen Yang said this, the other generals also started shouting.

They were all extremely angry.

In the eyes of everyone, Deng Ai's actions were almost like treason. Which minister would dare to do this? Even Emperor Taizu and Duke Xuanwen did not dare to reward the emperor!

Does this mean that he feels that he has taken the credit for destroying a country and that he is invincible?
The generals became excited.

Zhuge Dan's face also looked very ugly at this moment.

Deng Ai's behavior these days is really more excessive than the last.

He deliberately massacred the Qiang and Hu people, lured Jiang Wei into an attack, and then launched a war to destroy the country. Now he has occupied Chengdu and appointed officials. What will he do next? Will he be like Liu Bei?!
Chen Qian hurriedly got up and left.

It was obvious that he was going to send someone to inform Cao Mao.

Jiang Wei narrowed his eyes and felt very excited when he saw everyone was so excited.

Just a little more spark will make Chengdu chaotic again. If I can contact Huo Ge myself, there is still hope of success.

"Ugh"

Zhong Hui sat down in his seat dejectedly and sighed deeply.

His action immediately interrupted the violent banquet.

Everyone looked at him.

At this moment, Zhong Hui looked at Jiang Wei standing aside.

"Boyue, why do you have to risk your life for Shu?"

"Shu has fallen, and the emperor has surrendered. You are originally from Wei. Although you were highly valued in Shu, you were also ostracized by everyone. If you came to Wei, this would never happen. Your Majesty will help you with whatever you want to do."

Jiang Wei looked at him blankly, "General Zhong, what do you mean? I have already surrendered."

Zhong Hui still refused to give up. He said, "Bo Yue, are you willing to die just for the land of Shu? Why don't you follow me and build great achievements? In the future, we can destroy Wu, conquer the borderlands, and achieve unparalleled merits."

Jiang Wei still looked at a loss.

At this moment, Zhong Hui's face suddenly turned cold.

"Wen Ayang!! Catch this guy!!"

At Zhong Hui's command, Wen Yang leaped to Jiang Wei's side with a sudden step. Jiang Wei stretched out his hand to push him, but Wen Yang grabbed his hand and pushed him back to his seat. Hu Fen on the side also rushed up, and the two of them worked together to press Jiang Wei to the ground.

Zhong Hui's face was very cold, and he looked at Zhuge Dan calmly.

"This person is trying to sow discord, hoping to provoke a fight between us and Deng Ai so that he can seize the opportunity to rescue Liu Chan."

"What a pity that such a talented person cannot be used by us."

"Deng Ai has acted presumptuously, but now is not the time for conflict. We can first proceed to Chengdu and remove Deng Ai from office and let His Majesty decide his fate."

"It is Your Majesty's responsibility to deal with Deng Ai. We can discuss Deng Ai's affairs later."

"However, we must not resort to violence among ourselves."

Zhong Hui said very calmly.

Zhuge Dan pursed his lips and looked at Jiang Wei beside him again.

At this moment, Jiang Wei was pressed to the ground by two fierce generals. He stopped struggling and his face finally became calm.

"General Chariot and Cavalry is right."

"If Cao Wei uses you, it will be a disaster for the Han Dynasty."

"The great man is dead, and I do not wish to live alone, but only to die!"
