Chapter 067 Journey
Wei Ba looked straight at Peng Xiaoyu who was talking, and his heart was overwhelming. He looked at Peng Xiaoyu so nervous that he covered his face with his hands and asked Qiqi: "Major General, Major General, what's wrong with you?"
"Oh, nothing, nothing, I think you're saying too much." Wei Ba said with a dry smile: "You keep going, you keep going, I find that you are simply a female Zhuge, a talent, definitely a talent."
"Female... Zhuge?" Peng Xiaoyu savored it and smiled embarrassedly: "I am just a weak woman, how can I compare with the Prime Minister?"
"At least in my eyes, you are a female Zhuge." Wei Ba was excited and said, "Let me tell me what we should do to avoid such a result."
Peng Xiaoyu calmed down and turned her eyes: "Actually, it's simple, it's nothing more than two ways to advance and retreat. Retreat is like General Zhao, who is self-righteous and honest, and does his own duty well. I think the Prime Minister is happy to ask you to be a member of General Zhao, which probably has this meaning. But..." She hesitated for a moment: "The Major General can do it, but General Zhenbei may not be able to do it."
Wei Ba smiled bitterly, I also know this. Although my father is very enthusiastic about me being a disciple of Zhao Yun, it is just out of my love for me. I hope I can learn military skills and martial arts from Zhao Yun, and maybe I hope that I can learn some of Zhao Yun’s abilities in dealing with people and things, but he himself cannot be like Zhao Yun.
"So what...in?"
"Entering means making yourself stronger, so strong that others dare not provoke you, otherwise you will pay a heavy price."
"Isn't this the opposite? No matter how powerful it is, it can be stronger than the prime minister?"
"The Prime Minister is powerful, but it does not mean that the Prime Minister's successor is equally powerful." Peng Xiaoyu pursed her lips, lifted up a wisp of hair hanging from her cheeks, and smiled sly: "What's more, although the Prime Minister is powerful, he has too many concerns. As long as the Wei family does not rebel and he is not sure of winning, he will not take the initiative to anger the Wei family."
Wei Ba didn't say anything. He thought about this, but he was hesitant for a moment and did not make up his mind. It is impossible to retreat. Advance and the risk is not small. This is a direct war with Zhuge Liang, and he has no confidence. Now that Peng Xiaoyu said so, he began to be a little moved.
Peng Xiaoyu didn't say anything, but just looked at Wei Ba with a burning look. Only Wei Ba herself could decide on such a thing, and no one else could replace him. She glanced at the foot bathtub and suddenly screamed: "Oh, the water is cold." As she said, she got up and went outside to scooped some hot water, "Major General, be careful, don't burn it."
Wei Ba responded and suddenly asked, "How can you be strong?"
"That's not simple. The Wei family is a warrior, of course, to achieve military achievements." Peng Xiaoyu said, pouring hot water. Wei Ba was thinking about it, but he didn't notice the water temperature. Peng Xiaoyu poured a large spoonful of hot water in, and he didn't say a word. Peng Xiaoyu was a little surprised and asked weakly: "Major General, aren't you... hot?"
"Ah? Ah!" Wei Ba suddenly screamed, quickly pulled out his red-red feet from the foot bathtub, screaming screaming. Peng Xiaoyu was frightened and quickly scooped a spoonful of cold water from outside, pouring it all on Wei Ba's feet.
Wei Ba was sucking in the cold air and was crying without tears. Seeing that he was like this, Peng Xiaoyu wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare to laugh, so he quickly changed the water temperature again, which made Wei Ba put his feet back and slowly pinch it for him. This girl was ugly, but she was a smart person. In order to be a good maid, she also went to the baggage camp to consult doctors for some massage skills. Now she is a foot therapist with excellent skills. Under her massage, Wei Ba slowly calmed down, enjoying foot massage, while discussing with Peng Xiaoyu how to make the Wei family stronger.
Looking at Peng Xiaoyu's slender neck and the clearness that appeared in the open collar when he lowered his head, he sighed secretly. This girl is good at everything, just... the blue spot is so hard.
...
He had been having sex with Peng Xiaoyu for too long in the evening. When Wei Ba got up the next day, his eyes turned a little black, but he still ran up the mountain and practiced boxing with Zhao Guang. As soon as they came down from the mountain, they saw Zhuge Qiao and Dunwu chatting at a glance.
Although Zhuge Qiao is the son of the prime minister, he has no airs. He can talk about it whether it is a powerful civil servant or a low-ranking ordinary soldier. He has a good reputation among the soldiers. In fact, most of the people around Zhuge Liang have good tempers. People like Ma Su, Fei Yi and others are easily approached, except for Yang Yi and Wei Yan. In fact, Wei Yan has a bad relationship with his colleagues, and he also loves the soldiers very much.
Wei Ba shouted as soon as he saw him: "Oh, Zhuge Duwei, have you returned from Chengdu?"
Zhuge Qiao couldn't help laughing, and stepped forward and patted Wei Ba's arm hard: "Ziyu, I'm happy again. Is it necessary to keep a lieutenant talking about it every day?"
"It's a must." Wei Ba smiled and said, "I'm white. I'm also a high-ranking official when I see the commander."
"You are not willing to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, otherwise you will be at least a captain now." Zhuge Qiao and Wei Ba were too familiar with each other, and did not bother Wei Ba to sweat. He hugged Wei Ba's shoulders and squeezed his eyes: "Now there is an official who is even bigger than the captain, so he is willing to surrender?"
"An official who is even older than the Duke, is still surrender?" Wei Ba exaggeratedly: "I can't ask for it."
"Really? Well, we'll make up that way." Zhuge Qiao nodded and said, "I'll go back and report to the Prime Minister immediately and ask him to give orders."
Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, Wei Ba asked quickly: "Are you serious?"
Zhuge Qiao nodded and said the purpose of the matter. He did not avoid Zhao Guang, but just lowered his voice so that Dunwu and the others could hear it. "The Prime Minister asked me to take 5,000 people to the East Three County and ask me to find some suitable helpers. I want to invite you to join the army. What do you think?"
Wei Ba's eyes turned. Joining the army was an official of the Prime Minister's Office. His official position was not high, but it was very important. However, the two thousand people were not led by a single captain. At least they should be a miscellaneous general. So Zhuge Qiao was going to be a general as a captain. This is not surprising. A few months ago, Zhuge Qiao led more than a dozen young men of his generation to Chengdu for grain transport. I think he had some experience in leading troops and started a higher level of training.
However, he was still a little hesitant. Although he had lived in the barracks for more than half a year, he had never led soldiers and had never even participated in training. "I have never fought a war, can it work?"
"I have never fought a war," Zhuge Qiao smiled and said modestly and persistently: "You are from a general and know a little bit, and you are always better than me. Besides, you are also General Zhao's favorite disciple."
"My general is fake." Wei Ba glanced at Zhao Guang, whose eyes suddenly became a little complicated, and his heart moved: "Can I help me?"
Zhuge Qiao thought for a while: "As long as it is suitable, of course it is impossible to ask for it."
Wei Ba smiled slightly: "I am only responsible for recommendations. If it is suitable or not, you can decide." He pulled Zhao Guang over: "My senior brother and Fu Xing."
Zhuge Qiao laughed and laughed. "Coincidentally, I was about to invite these two people. It seems that we are really suitable for partnering. We all want to go together."
Wei Ba also smiled. Regardless of whether what Zhuge Qiao said was true or not, if Zhao Guang and Fu Xing were allowed to go with him, his goal would be achieved. Since Zhuge Liang dared to let Zhuge Qiao go to the three eastern counties, he would definitely not let him die. This time, it is beyond doubt that he would not miss the opportunity to bring Zhao Guang and Fu Xing, two peers closest to him, who were close to him.
Everyone was tacit, and although Zhao Guang was not happy, his eyes had already lit up.
"Then I'll make up that. I'll go to find a few other people. Then we will discuss it together." Zhuge Qiao achieved his goal and did not stay any longer. He greeted Wei Ba and Zhao Guang and hurried down the mountain.
Watching Zhuge Qiao walk away, Zhao Guang's face, which had not changed much, showed a relaxed smile, and he let out a sigh of relief. "Ziyu, thank you."
Wei Bayun smiled lightly and said, "What's the point of thanking me? He also said that I don't recommend you, he will find you."
"Fu Xing is possible, but I'm afraid it may not be." Zhao Guang gently patted Wei Ba's shoulder: "No matter what, I owe you a favor."
Wei Ba said nothing. Zhao Yun was an old honor in the Yuan Cong clan. As long as he waited for a few more years, the most powerful Yuan Cong clan would disappear once he passed away, and only a group of young children with no foundation were left. They could not take on any storms and waves at all. They would use expensive but not heavy positions to support them, and slowly pick a few obedient ones to be a typical example. It would be enough to digest some of their strength. It would be unlikely to reuse them, especially when Zhao Yun was not dead.
Not to mention Zhuge Liang, no one in power would do such a foolish thing. It is already very commendable to let Yuan Congshi withdraw from the political stage so calmly without bleeding.
Although Wei Ba is still not a master of power struggle, he can still understand these basic principles after half a year of study. Of course, understanding does not mean agreeing. He asked Zhao Guang to take him with him on the condition of accepting the appointment, and of course he also had his own considerations.
Wei Ba raised his eyebrows: "Since you said that, when you are on the battlefield, don't be too far away from me, protect me more."
Zhao Guang laughed out loud.
Wei Ba smiled and looked at the vast mountains in the sky, thinking that he was finally going to embark on the journey, and he felt nervous and expectant. He knew that he had no cultural background. He had no chance to be a civil servant who was a dancer and a citation of classics. At most, he was a grammatical official who was looked down upon, and he was the best way out. Although the danger coefficient increased greatly, it was not as stable as an official in the court. Peng Yi was an example. He failed to die on the battlefield like Pang Tong, but died at the hands of his own people. Instead of doing so, it was better than Pang Tong, and at least he had a loving and honor behind him. ———————————Pang Tong asked for recommendation on Monday.
