Wei Ba laughed. He had already estimated that using Zong Yu to stimulate Deng Zhi would be the most effective. Zong Yu and Deng Zhi were both from Nanyang. They were both middle-aged, but had not yet had the opportunity to become a lord, and they both had the potential to make contributions.
Zong Yu's ambition, and Zong Yu is about ten years younger than Deng Zhi. Now that Zong Yu is the Supervisor of Fangling Army, he is actually the commander of the army. How could Deng Zhi, who is nearly fifty years old, be willing to let go of such an opportunity?
?
His hesitation already explained the problem. If he really knew his destiny and had no ambition, why did he think about it for so long? With these arrangements, his intention to dominate Guanzhong was already obvious, and it was impossible for Deng Zhi not to see it. Hesitation showed that
He was weighing it and didn't want to give up this opportunity.
Deng Zhi nodded, and the next thing was easy to arrange. Wei Yan rushed to Tongguan as quickly as possible according to the original plan. He wanted to organize the Tongguan defense line in the shortest possible time, and also reach the Pubanjin area.
The task was very heavy and could not be delayed any longer. Deng Zhi led 5,000 men to Wuguan, and Zhao Yun gave Zhao Guang 3,000 men to rush to Longshan and Xiaoguan. Xiaoguan is adjacent to Anding, and Anding has surrendered to Shu Han.
There will be a big war. Longshan is adjacent to Tianshui. Although he is directly facing Guo Huai, Zhuge Liang's main force is in Tianshui. Guo Huai will not attack Longshan with all his strength. Even if he comes, if he cannot hold it, he will still
You can ask Zhuge Liang directly for help.
According to Wei Ba's intention, if he had sufficient troops, he would definitely arrange more people in Longshan to prevent Guo Huai from entering the hinterland of Guanzhong. However, he is currently stretched thin and can only make such an arrangement. But this is also
Okay, avoid falling out with Zhuge Liang, maintain a harmonious situation for the time being, and focus the defense on the east.
Reinforcement was like putting out a fire. Early the next morning, Wei Yan, Deng Zhi and Zhao Guang each led their armies to their destinations. Only the 1,000 Wei soldiers left by Wei Yan and 2,000 Zhao Yun's men were left in Xiwu.
There were also more than 3,000 prisoners of the Wei army. Wei Ba selected more than 700 people from Guanzhong who were originally from Hanzhong or believed in Tianshi Dao. He broke them up and assigned them to various battalions. The others were disarmed and only allowed them to do some physical work.
.
After a busy day, all matters were basically handled in place. When it was time to have dinner, only Zhao Yun and Wei Ba were left facing each other.
Zhao Yun didn't speak much all day. Even when Zhao Guang came to say goodbye, he didn't say much. He just watched Wei Ba busy silently. It wasn't until he sat down to eat dinner and Wei Ba raised his glass to toast him that he spoke lightly.
Got it.
"Ziyu, have you made up your mind?"
Wei Ba was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a while. When he saw Zhao Yun's complicated eyes, he realized what Zhao Yun was talking about. He pretended to cough to cover up his embarrassment. "This... I have been thinking about it for a long time.
Already."
"When did it start?"
Although Zhao Yun's voice was silent, Wei Ba could hear the strong pressure from it. He did not dare to neglect, and replied calmly: "From the day I learned that the prime minister changed his action plan."
Zhao Yun raised his eyebrows and pondered for a long time without saying anything else. He had been in the officialdom for so many years and claimed to be undefeated on the battlefield and in the officialdom. How could he not see the mystery behind it? What Zhuge Liang wanted to do, he knew, Wei Ba
He also knew what Wei Ba wanted to do. It could even be said that he realized what Wei Ba wanted to do as soon as Wei Ba opened his mouth last night. Asking now was just for confirmation.
"If you keep me here, it won't be as simple as helping you scare Xiahou Mao, right?" Zhao Yun took a sip of wine and asked unhurriedly.
Wei Ba blushed. He knew that the old general had become a spirit and couldn't hide anything from him, so it was better to be honest. But by saying this, he had obviously acquiesced to his idea, which made him feel a big stone in his heart.
Finally landed. Although from Zhao Yun's point of view, it is impossible not to know what he is doing, he has never expressed a different opinion and has actually made his attitude clear. But getting his personal consent still makes him feel relieved, although this is a bit
Accident.
"Yes, I have more important things to ask Master for help."
"Tell me, I'm old. Even if I can't take on important responsibilities, I won't be able to help you."
"Master will definitely be able to help." Wei Ba said flatteringly: "Master, I remember that when you first became the First Lord, you rode for the First Lord, right?"
Zhao Yun suddenly felt a little confused. He had just become the First Lord? That was more than forty years ago. At that time, they were in their prime and in their prime. White Horse Chief Gongsun Zan was ruling the northern frontier. Liu Bei brought Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to vote for Gongsun Zan.
Although he was weak in power, he was heroic and ambitious to clarify the world. They hit it off immediately and soon became good friends who talked about everything. Later, Liu Bei left Youzhou and followed Gongsun Zan's order.
When he went to Qi County to fight Yuan Shao, he also quietly left Gongsun Zan. In name, he went home to attend the funeral. In fact, he returned to his hometown to recruit young men and recruited the first cavalry for Liu Bei. From that time on, he followed Liu Bei in his expeditions to the north and south.
War, all the way to Yizhou.
Now, Gongsun Zan is dead, Guan Yu is dead, Zhang Fei is dead, and Liu Bei is dead. Countless once-familiar faces have become memories, leaving him alone, so lonely.
Zhao Yun lowered his head, wiped the corners of his eyes with the corner of his sleeve, and smiled sadly: "It has been forty years, and I almost forgot where my hometown is."
"Master, your hometown is not far away." Wei Ba comforted him: "It only took ten years for King Qin to conquer Liuhe. Now we have established a foothold in Guanzhong. In the future, we will sweep across the world and restore the Han Dynasty. It will not be far away. Then Master can
Return home with honor."
"I hope so." Zhao Yun sighed and smiled ashamedly: "You also want me to ride on you?"
Wei Ba waved his hand repeatedly: "Master, you are saying too much. How can I afford it? I want to ask Master to help me build a cavalry force."
"It's not that easy to build a cavalry. Even if you can find war horses, without skilled knights, you won't be able to build a cavalry in a short time. The Han people are not barbarians on horseback. Even if they can ride a horse, if they want to change
To become a true knight and develop combat power, it takes at least three to five years of hard training."
"I know this." Wei Ba laughed like a cunning fox: "Master, what do you think of the knights recruited from Anding and other places?"
"Anding?" Zhao Yun's eyes lit up: "You recruited knights from Anding? How many people?"
"Currently there are only more than 300 people." Wei Ba approached Zhao Yun and said happily: "To be honest with Master, I have sent people to An Ding to contact various families, hoping that they can help. If everything goes well, we can organize more than 1,000 people."
A human cavalry battalion should not be a problem. I have captured some more horses this time. I want to select some who are proficient in riding skills from the master's subordinates. Even if they cannot form combat power for a while, at least they will not be able to face the Wei army's cavalry.
There is no way to fight back.”
Zhao Yun nodded repeatedly. Anding is in the north of Liangzhou, bordering the barbarians all year round. There are more knights who are proficient in cavalry warfare than in the mainland. The knights recruited from Anding can form combat power much faster. The people of Anding are fierce and fierce, and they are also outstanding.
The famous general and the last war god of the Han Dynasty, Huangfu Song, was a Anding man.
"Is this what you have planned for a long time?"
"Hey, I don't dare to hide it from Master." Wei Ba whispered in Zhao Yun's ear and whispered a few more words. Zhao Yun looked at him sideways: "Really?"
"Do I dare to lie to Master?" Wei Ba said seriously.
Zhao Yun pondered for a while and nodded: "If it is true as you said, I am 50% sure that I can help you train a cavalry battalion that can put on a good show within three to five months."
"That is, with Master's ability, doing this is not a piece of cake." Wei Ba raised his wine glass with both hands, "Master, please!"
"Done." Zhao Yun smiled slightly, raised his glass, touched it with Wei Ba, and drank it all. Seeing Zhao Yun's boldness, Wei Ba was dumbfounded: "Master, this is a full glass."
"It's up to you." Zhao Yun poured the wine glass heavily on the table, his face darkened, and he looked like he would deal with you if you don't give me face. Wei Ba was speechless, who said that this old man was a kind person, and he accidentally
Teenagers are also insidious enough. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and drink the wine in one gulp.
"It's great!" Zhao Yun slapped the table and laughed: "Young people should be a little aggressive. When you are not crazy when you are young, when will you be crazy? My two sons, in terms of ability, may not be worse than you, but their temper is too much like mine. They are hesitant and hesitant.
If you think too much, you’ll probably accomplish nothing in the end.”
"If you don't look like you, I'll be in trouble." Wei Ba secretly sneered and accompanied Xiao Yi to refill Zhao Yun's wine. The old man was a little excited today, but don't get too excited. My cavalry battalion is counting on him. The Shu Han Army
There are not many people who are good at riding on horseback. The Ma family can't count on them. They can only count on Changshan Zhao Zilong, who was the previous master's horseman.
Zhao Yun was in a good mood. He was a little drunk and his legs were already a little fluttery by the time he finished. Wei Ba relied on his youth and forced him to be sent back to his room to rest. However, his own life was not so good. He returned to the study and drank while drinking.
While drinking the hangover soup, I sorted through the things that needed to be done. After thinking about it, it seems that almost everything that can be done has been done. Next, it depends on whether the development of things can achieve the expected results.
"Hey, Prime Minister Zhuge, you can't blame me for this. I invited you to come to Guanzhong, but you didn't come, so I had to keep it all to myself." Wei Ba looked at the map of Guanzhong, played with the jade pendant from the Peng family in Guanghan, and sneered secretly. "
If you think of me as a gunman, you will be disappointed."
Dunwu, who was standing aside with his knife in hand, heard what he said to himself. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, glanced at Wei Ba, quickly raised his hand, and rubbed his nose to stop himself from laughing. Shao
Lord, the Prime Minister is using you as a gunman? Where will you put the Prime Minister's wife?
Wei Ba didn't know that Dunwu's mind had gone astray. He raised his head and cast his gaze towards the night sky in the distance. A bright moon hung on the corner of the eaves. He suddenly thought deeply and stood up and said: "Dunwu, go to the dungeon.
, look at that Xiahou girl."
Dunwu was stunned for a moment, then blurted out: "Young Master, do you want to use Miss Xiahou to test the gun?"
"What gun to try?" Wei Ba was confused.
"Uh-" Dun Wu saw Wei Ba's expression and thought he was embarrassed, so he quickly covered his mouth and said, "It's nothing, I'll send someone to prepare it immediately. There are too many prisoners in the past two days, and the dungeon has been very chaotic.
"As he said that, he walked away in a hurry.
Wei Ba was even more puzzled and shook his head: "What the hell is this kid doing? What kind of gun is he trying? And with Miss Xiahou..." He suddenly understood, his old face turned red, he looked at Dun Wu's back and cursed secretly, before his eyes appeared Looking at Xia Houhui's exquisite face, something suddenly moved.
This girl is good-looking, and now that she is a prisoner, she is really a good candidate to test the gun with.
