Chapter 542

Helpless, they were ultimately not the ones in power, merely garrison commanders within Xiangyang City.

How to choose always had to follow the decision of those in power.

Sad and sigh-worthy, but this was the fact.

Just like on the eve of the Battle of Red Cliffs in the original history.

In Xiangyang City, there were actually many generals who were unwilling to surrender to Cao Cao.

But under the leadership of Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, and others, those who were unwilling to surrender to Cao ultimately had to surrender to Cao.

……

A few days later,

Changancheng,

in the Chancellor's Mansion (Qin Wang Mansion).

Xu Rong brought Cai Mao, Cai Zhu, and Liu Cong here to report to Gu Yi.

After Xu Rong left,

Cai Mao waited for Gu Yi's reward with a face full of expectation.

But what he did not expect was,

a cold sneer suddenly appeared on Gu Yi's face.

Subsequently, he raised his hand, signaling Xu Sheng to take the personal guards and take Cai Mao away.

Seeing this, Cai Mao was suddenly in a panic.

But how could Gu Yi not know about his little tricks?

Or rather, how could Gu Yi not deduce them?

Seeing his own brother being taken away,

even this poisonous woman Cai Zhu was filled with terror between her brows.

However,

Gu Yi's face suddenly changed to a calm expression.

Cai Zhu, who was good at observing facial expressions, hurriedly fawned over him.

She quickly came to Gu Yi's side, preparing to display the unique charm of a young woman.

There is a saying in later generations that is good.

Don't miss out on good girls.

Don't let go of bad women.

Chancellor Gu, as someone who possessed the same attributes as Chancellor Cao, naturally understood this well.

But...

After venting to his heart's content on Cai Zhu,

just when Cai Zhu thought the situation was settled,

the news of Cai Mao's execution suddenly reached her ears.

Immediately after,

before she could react,

Liu Cong had also been taken away and executed by the personal guards beside Gu Yi.

Cai Zhu stared blankly at Gu Yi.

The latter's face was full of indifference.

Such a poisonous woman, just playing with her was enough.

How could Gu Yi take such a hidden danger into his harem and harm his twenty-plus beautiful concubines?

Besides,

Cai Zhu's appearance was not low.

But among our Chancellor Gu's group of beautiful concubines, which one was not a beauty chosen from ten thousand?

A mere Cai Zhu could not reach the level of being a beauty who could topple a country, so naturally, she could not make Gu Yi prostrate under her pomegranate skirt.

Anyway, it was still that saying.

Don't miss out on good girls.

Just playing with bad women is enough.

Pulling up his pants, Chancellor Gu ultimately turned his face and refused to recognize anyone.

……

Finally, Cai Zhu, Cai Mao, and Liu Cong all lost their lives here.

And after that,

Gu Yi met with Wei Yan, Wen Pin, and Hou Yin.

Wei Yan did not need to be mentioned; he was a fierce general of Shu Han in the original history.

As for the question of whether Wei Yan had rebellious bones behind his head,

it could only be said that if one followed the *Romance*, he indeed had rebellious bones.

This could not be denied.

Because Old Luo indeed wrote it that way.

And he described it vividly.

But if one followed the official history, Wei Yan had a fart of rebellious bones?

It could be said that his love for the Shu Han was no less than any of Zhuge Liang, Zhao Zilong, or Jiang Wei.

And what wrong did Wei Yan do?

He just wanted to inherit the Chancellor's will and lead everyone to continue the Northern Expedition unswervingly.

As for Wei Yan's death...

Uh, no way, no way, could it be that there were still people influenced by marketing accounts who thought Wei Yan's death was Zhuge Liang's arrangement?

In reality, that was just a benefit exchange between Yang Yi and Ma Dai, and it had nothing to do with Zhuge Liang.

It belonged to the internal turmoil of the Shu Han caused by the power vacuum after Zhuge Liang's sudden death.

Actually, one could know by using one's brain.

Unless Zhuge Liang was sick in the head, why would he finish off the only commander in the late Shu Han, besides Jiang Wei, who could command large army groups?

What's more, when Zhuge Liang just died, Jiang Wei had not yet fully grown up.

The only famous general Shu Han could bring out was Wei Yan.

Zhuge Liang could not do the thing of destroying his own Great Wall.

……

And nowadays,

regardless of whether Wei Yan had rebellious bones behind his head,

anyway, in Gu Yi's hands, he could definitely be held firmly.

Otherwise, our Chancellor Gu, having mixed for so long, wouldn't he have mixed into a dog's stomach?

After accepting Wei Yan, Gu Yi enfeoffed him with the position of Gate-Tooth General.

Although it was only a miscellaneous general title of the lowest grade,

but one must know that Wei Yan was just a soldier when he was in Xiangyang!

Furthermore, Gate-Tooth General was exactly the official position Wei Yan held in the original history.

This might also be one of Gu Yi's bad tastes.

But with Wei Yan's ability, I believe he would soon be able to build merit again and advance further in the official position of Gate-Tooth General.
