Chapter 028 Failed Lobbyist
Now Wei Ba knows why Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition would not adopt Wei Yan's Ziwu Valley strategy, because he believed that he would be guilty of the right way and that he would win, so there was no need to take that risk. He also knew why Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition was so good, but he was defeated so quickly in the end. Then he attacked Chen Cang with tens of thousands of troops, which made Hao Zhao famous.
Because he is still a romantic person, he has no idea of the cruelty of the battlefield. He still wants to kill the generals while chatting and laughing, and win a decisive victory for thousands of miles. Only after experiencing a painful failure can he grow into a real famous general.
Indeed, he later became a famous general and even a synonym for wise men. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan were all supporting roles. Only he was the well-deserved male lead. Even the loyal and brave Saint Lord promoted by Lao Luo was slightly overwhelmed by him.
Unfortunately, he is now a romantic person. The price of his growth is the opportunity before him that will never come back once he loses it.
"Thousands of people will die, and they will run rampant in the world?" Wei Ba said: "What the Prime Minister means is that he is afraid of being arrogant, and he is afraid of being desperate?"
Zhuge Liang and his son looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. The father and son of the Wei family were vulgar and unwritten. It seemed that they were not false. Wei Ba actually used country slang to understand his words. Although the meaning was roughly good, his taste was really not satisfactory.
"It's almost the same."
"The Prime Minister thinks, how many opponents can a desperate soldier defeat?"
Zhuge Liang was really unhappy, expressionless and silent. Zhuge Qiao hurriedly smiled and said, "Brother Wei, this is just a metaphor, how can we compare in detail?"
Wei Ba shook his head: "Prime Minister, Brother Zhuge, I read a little, and I don't know the ancient legends. However, I have read a few sentences of "The Analects of Confucius" and know that the Master said, "War without teaching is called killing." With soldiers who have not been in great war, against enemies who have been on the battlefield for a long time, the Prime Minister thought it was not what the benevolent should do. Moreover, Wei is strong and weak, killing 1,000 enemies and committing suicide for 800 suicides. However, our great Han cannot do it. The defeat of the first lord, the defeat of the first lord, the loss of elite troops for many years, led to the Prime Minister's hearing about the changes in Nanzhong, and he could only stop the military valley and fight in three years. If there is any mistake today, how many years will the Prime Minister think it will take to recover?"
Zhuge Liang frowned slightly, patted the account book in front of him, raised his head and said to Wei Ba, "Wei Ba, you are too worried. You, your father and other important generals and ministers, are worried about this kind of military and national affairs. Although it is a pleasure for you, a young man who has not yet become an official, can't help but be blinded and you can't see Mount Tai. You might as well listen to other people's opinions, increase your knowledge, and then say it, maybe it will be more accurate. In this way, your accounting method is quite admirable. Let me discuss with the officials in the mansion and give you another answer. As for Yang Yi, you don't have to worry about Yang Yi. Yang Yi is a general person, and he will not care about you, a young man."
Wei Ba looked at Zhuge Liang, who had a very obvious intention of seeing off guests. He knew that it was useless to say anything else, so he could only sigh and stand up to say goodbye. Zhuge Liang winked at Zhuge Qiao, and Zhuge Qiao stood up to send Wei Ba out of the big tent. Wei Ba came out of the big tent and breathed a sigh of depression. Why are others all talking brightly? When the horse succeeds, I am just in vain? It seems that I am really not a lobbyist material.
He bowed to Zhuge Qiao in frustration and was about to say goodbye, but a middle-aged man with an angry face walked over quickly, even ignoring Zhuge Qiao's salute to him and rushed into the big tent.
When Zhuge Qiao saw this person, he hurriedly said to Wei Ba: "Brother Wei, please forgive me for not sending me far away."
Wei Ba smiled indifferently, and was about to say a few polite words when the door of the tent was raised, the middle-aged man who had just entered the tent rushed out again, stepped in front of Wei Ba in two steps, his eyes widened, and shouted: "Are you Wei Ba?"
Wei Ba blinked inexplicably: "I am, you are..."
"Zhuzi, you don't know who I am, so you dare to hurt my son?"
The middle-aged man was furious and waved his whip and whipped it. Dunwu, who was waiting in the distance, rushed over vigilantly when he saw the man. At this moment, he even said nothing, and went forward without saying a word. He held the middle-aged man's wrist with one hand, twisted it hard, and grabbed his whip. The other hand was silently pinched into a fist and slammed it out.
With a loud bang, the middle-aged man flew two steps and fell to the ground. Dunwu's punch was very heavy, and the middle-aged man was so painful that he hugged his abdomen and sucked the air conditioner.
Zhuge Qiao was shocked and did not care about blaming Wei Ba. He rushed over and helped the middle-aged man up and shouted: "Hou General, Hou General, are you okay?"
Wei Ba had just understood that this person was Liu Yu's father Liu Yan, the general of the post-official position. He was a minister who followed Liu Bei very early.
"Ah... Qiao, take it off... this guy." Liu Yan was so painful that his eyebrows and eyes twitched together. Bai Chen's face was now even whiter, and his forehead was covered with fine cold sweat. He fell to the ground and twitched, and his brocade clothes were stained with a lot of soil and grass chips, which was a mess. There was no way to be the demeanor of the general in the future.
"What's wrong with him?" Zhuge Qiao asked in confusion.
"He...he injured my Yu'er." Liu Yan was in pain and anxious, and he burst into tears: "My Yu'er may be disabled."
"Ah?" Zhuge Qiao was shocked, and subconsciously stood up, screaming: "How could this happen?"
As soon as the tent door was lifted, Zhuge Liang walked out, glanced sternly, and shouted unhappily: "What's the noise?" He was also surprised to see Liu Yan lying on the ground and crying. "Wei Shuo, you are..."
Liu Yan turned over and got up, rushed to Zhuge Liang, kowtowed repeatedly, and cried: "Prime Minister, Prime Minister, you must make the decision for me. Wei Yan's son Wei Ba committed a crime in the camp and injured my Yu'er. My Yu'er is about to become a derelict. Please ask the Prime Minister to make the decision for me and seek justice."
Zhuge Liang turned his head to look at Wei Ba, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Wei Ba, is there any such thing?"
Wei Ba kept looking at them quietly. Since Dunwu threw Liu Yu off the horse's back in one round, he was mentally prepared for the scene in front of him, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly. He could not hide, so he could only bite the bullet and see how Zhuge Liang would deal with this matter, and then see if the father who was very domineering in the short and domineering manner could withstand it.
“It’s true.”
"What is the reason why he actually fought in the camp?" Zhuge Liang's tone became a little unkind.
Wei Ba said slowly: "I don't know much either. At that time, I was waiting outside Yang Chanjun's tent. Liu Yu brought a few people, rode his horse, rushed all the way to the front of the camp..." Wei Ba briefly said the situation at that time: "There were dozens of people present at that time. I believe there are still people who have not left now. If the Prime Minister doesn't believe me, he can send someone to ask."
Zhuge Liang frowned and turned to Liu Yan and said, "Is that true?"
Liu Yan was stunned for a moment. When he heard that Liu Yu was injured and could not move, he became confused. Without asking in detail, he rushed to report to Zhuge Liang and asked Zhuge Liang to help him get justice. How could he know what he was like at that time? Now Zhuge Liang asked him, and he knew there was a problem. First, Liu Yu was actually riding in the camp, which seriously violated Zhuge Liang's military orders; second, Liu Yu attacked first, with many people on his own side, and only one guard on the other side took action. This was a bit embarrassing to lose. However, he relied on his close relationship with Zhuge Liang and did not answer Zhuge Liang's questions at all, and bit back: "Prime Minister, don't listen to his words. My Yu'er was seriously injured by him. This is a fact after all..."
"Stop!" Zhuge Liang changed his face, shouted softly, turned around and waved to Zhuge Qiao: "Please help him into the tent, and then you go and ask what the situation is, come back and report it to me quickly."
Zhuge Qiao responded and half-dragged Liu Yan into the tent. Zhuge Liang turned around and entered the tent and said to Wei Ba: "Come in too, I want to ask in person."
Wei Ba did not say a word, and raised his legs and was about to enter the tent. Dunwu grabbed him and winked, indicating that he would not go in. Wei Ba smiled and said in his ear, "Go and notify the general, and then..."
Dunwu listened carefully and turned around and left. Wei Ba tidi tidied up his clothes and entered the tent calmly. Liu Yan's mood had already stabilized a little. When he saw Wei Ba coming in, he became a little excited and was about to rush over to tear him. When a guard next to him saw him, he quickly stopped him. Liu Yan tried hard, but could not push away the guard. He was so angry that he could only point the halberd at Wei Ba and scolded loudly: "Zhu Zi, if you dare to hurt my son, I want you to pay a heavy price. When Wei Yan's husband comes, I want to ask him how he teaches his children..."
Zhuge Liang's face was almost dripping with water, but before he could scold Liu Yan, Wei Ba suddenly came forward, held Liu Yan's outstretched finger in one hand, twisted it hard, raised the other hand high, and slapped Liu Yan's face hard.
With a crisp sound of "Kaba", Liu Yan's fingers broke.
With a crisp "pop", Liu Yan's face was so angry that he suddenly had a white palm print on his red face, which quickly turned red, and half of his face swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Liu Yan was stunned and realized for a while. He held his broken finger and screamed with a "scream", which was so loud that Zhuge Liang, who was also shocked.
"If you point me, I will break your finger. If you dare to scold my father, you will slap you in the face." Wei Ba raised his eyebrows and looked arrogant: "If you don't agree, you can try again to see if I will beat you to the same paralysis as your son."
Zhuge Qiao stepped into the tent and happened to hear Wei Ba's murderous words. He looked at Liu Yan's swollen face and his fingers holding him in front of his chest with a strange angle. He was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do. Behind him, a boy with a slightly dark face was Fu Xing, the Yiyang native. Seeing Liu Yan's appearance, he was stunned, stunned. ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
