Wei Ba was mentally prepared before he spoke, but he still didn't expect that his father would be so confident and would not listen to his opinions at all. There is no point in giving strong advice, and speaking with facts is more convincing. Besides, Wei Ba has to admit it
There is some truth in what Dad said. Although the Shu army has the upper hand in numbers, it does not have the upper hand in overall combat strength. In the long run, it is obvious that Shu's strength is not as good as Wei's. If you want to make a breakthrough, you need to use surprise troops to capture it.
Although Guanzhong is risky, once successful, the prospects are attractive.
Regarding strategy and tactics, Wei Ba has no advantages. What he can do now is to solve some technical problems as much as possible, such as making the Ziwu Valley Project more feasible and reducing its risks.
Seeing that Wei Ba no longer insisted on his opinion, Wei Yan was very happy, thinking that he had explained Wei Ba. He was very satisfied with Wei Ba's changes in the past few days. Although he could not help as much as Wei Feng, he was still there after all.
Working hard and being attentive is a good thing.
After the four father and son had a warm dinner, they chatted for a while and then separated. Wei Ba was really tired after traveling all day, so he went to rest first. Wei Yan continued to prepare his speech in the tent, thinking of making a move.
He persuaded Prime Minister Zhuge to agree with him and let him achieve great success. But for some reason, he was no longer as confident as he was at the beginning and was often distracted. Wei Ba's words always echoed in his ears.
"Dad, I guess the Prime Minister will definitely not agree to your plan."
Wei Yan couldn't help but find it funny. "Absolutely not? Hey, you brat, you are not very capable, but your tone is not small. Do you think the Prime Minister is as short-sighted as you? I have such a good plan, how can he not adopt it? Hum,
When the Prime Minister agrees to my plan, I see what else you have to say. Your hair has not grown yet, but you have learned to show off, and you are still a bit young. When I was your age, I accompanied the late Emperor on his expeditions with my troops.
Yes, what do you know?"
Wei Feng walked in, happened to hear Wei Yan talking to himself, and couldn't help laughing. Wei Yan was a little embarrassed, and asked in a covert manner: "A Feng, do you think what I said makes sense, or what A Ba said makes sense?
?”
"You all have a point." Wei Feng said with a smile: "Judging from the comparison of the strengths of both sides, Dad's plan is certainly a good one. On the way back just now, Aba said the same."
"What did he say?" Wei Yan became more energetic and sat upright.
"He said that Wei is strong and Han is weak. If we want to defeat the strong with the weak, we must win by surprise. Moreover, Cao Wei is not on guard against me right now. This is a good opportunity for a surprise attack with the highest chance of success. If it fails, when Cao Wei is on guard in the future, we will
There is no such a good opportunity. But the risk of this plan is indeed too great. I am afraid that Prime Minister Zhuge will not agree." Wei Feng paused and said softly: "Dad, what A Ba is most worried about now is not whether Prime Minister Zhuge will agree.
I agree with your plan, but I am worried that you and the Prime Minister will conflict because of this, and that some people will take advantage of it and create discord."
Wei Yan frowned: "Is he worried about Yang Yi?"
Wei Feng smiled silently, thinking that Yang Yi was not the only one around Prime Minister Zhuge who was at odds with my father and son. As expected, my father had made too many enemies as A Ba worried, and the situation of the Wei family was quite special, making it easy for people to be afraid.
In the past, the Wei family dominated Hanzhong, so that was fine. Now that Prime Minister Zhuge is stationed in Hanzhong, if my father still persists in his own way, something may happen again.
"What kind of person is the Prime Minister? How could he listen to the words of a villain?" Wei Yan was silent for a moment and forced a smile: "Just let him do his own thing. We must leave Yang Yi Na Yusheng speechless tomorrow."
It can be said."
"Don't worry, Dad, Aba is ready. He just went to Mr. Cheng to discuss this matter."
"Well, that's good." Wei Yan rubbed his hands, feeling inexplicably excited.
…
In the side tent, Wei Ba and the chief registrar Cheng An were sitting opposite each other. Wei Ba's face was calm and slightly worried, but Cheng An's eyes were full of surprise. Wei Ba came to see him. He was not surprised. He would go to the Prime Minister tomorrow.
The government reported the situation of Hanzhong's food preparations. As the inventor of the new accounting book, Wei Ba, who would definitely help Wei Yan handle various affairs in the future, would naturally go there. It was expected that he should communicate with him in advance. But let
Surprisingly, Wei Ba asked him to be more restrained when reporting to Yang Yi tomorrow and try not to cause conflicts. Even if Yang Yi was unhappy with something, he could bear with it. Anyway, Hanzhong would do whatever Hanzhong should do.
It has been done and it has exceeded the quota. I think Yang Yi will not deliberately cause trouble and find faults.
Cheng An was very surprised by this. He knew very well what kind of virtue the Wei family father and son had. In order to make Yang Yi lose face, Wei Yan did not know how cruel he was behind his back. Wei Feng also expressed this intention more than once
Wei Ba now wants him to give in and avoid conflicts as much as possible. This does not sound like what someone from the Wei family would say at all.
Cheng An suddenly became interested in Wei Ba. He twirled his beard and smiled slightly: "Why?"
Wei Ba looked at Cheng An calmly. Cheng An felt a little guilty, fearing that he would see his contempt for the Wei family, so he looked away. Wei Ba said: "Mr. Cheng, you are from a wealthy family in Yizhou, with rich experience, and
Having assisted my father for many years, I know his temperament very well. I must have known that there was just a disagreement between him and Yang Canjun, and there was no conflict of interest. Now, how important it is for the Prime Minister to expedition to the Central Plains and restore the Han Dynasty.
? Yang Yi is talented, and my father is rough in martial arts. They are supposed to be the Prime Minister's right-hand men, assisting him in completing this great cause. If they become incompatible due to some personal reasons, wouldn't it be a small gain but a big loss?"
Cheng An was silent for a long time and nodded approvingly: "Major General, I understand what you mean. I will try not to conflict with him tomorrow. However, I have something to say to the young general first, and I hope the young general will not misunderstand him.
.”
Wei Ba bowed and said: "Old sir, please speak frankly to your face."
Cheng An breathed a sigh of relief: "Yang Yi's matter is actually a small matter. With the Prime Minister here, the conflict between them will not expand after all. From my perspective, the general's temper is the big problem. Logically speaking, the general
No matter whether Yang Yi or Yang Yi, they are all from Jingxiang. They should be the strength that the Prime Minister relies on. The current situation is incompatible with each other, which is definitely not what the Prime Minister wants to see. The Prime Minister is the most respected person, even if he is from Jingxiang,
He will not bend the law for personal gain. He has never been lenient to people who are in trouble, and Liao Li is an example."
Wei Ba's heart was moved. He knew about Liao Li. When he read the Di's newspapers over the years a few days ago, he also noticed the content that criticized Liao Li. At this time, Cheng An mentioned Liao Li. Could it be that he was reminding Wei Yan not to leave Liao Li?
The old road?
"Liao Li was demoted because he was a gangster?"
Cheng An twitched the corner of his mouth, picked up the water glass on the table, took a sip, and nodded slowly. "Liao Li is talented, and he is a Jingxiang man who has followed the late lord for a long time. No,
When he was thirty years old, he was promoted to the prefect of Changsha by the former master. Later, when the Wu people attacked Jingzhou, he escaped, and the former master did not blame him, and appointed him as the governor of Bajun. After the former master came to the throne, he was made a servant.
It is evident that he was highly regarded by the late Lord. After the death of the late Lord, His Majesty ascended the throne, he became the Captain of Changshui. He was supposed to assist His Majesty side by side with the Prime Minister and achieve great achievements, but because of his wild words and slanderous remarks against the government, he was demoted to
Common people, the mistakes of those who have gone before are the lessons of those behind. Young general, if you have the opportunity, you should give more advice to the general."
Wei Ba nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, old man, for reminding me. If I have the opportunity, I will definitely advise my father. I usually ask the old man for his advice."
Cheng An smiled slightly: "That's natural. Major General, it's getting late. You've been traveling all day long, so you'd better rest early. I have my own sense of what to do tomorrow. Anyway, I'm old.
Yang Yi doesn’t want to embarrass me too much. But the young general needs to be patient. I think he will have a few arguments with you tomorrow."
Wei Ba nodded and agreed.
Cheng pacified his beard, looked at Wei Ba solemnly in front of him, and nodded calmly. Wei Ba left the house and returned to his residence. Wei Wu was already asleep, lying on the bed with his arms and legs spread out, and he was snoring.
Zi. Wei Ba frowned lovingly, poked Wei Wu, pushed him away and tucked him in, fetched some water, washed himself, and went to bed to lie down.
He was very tired, but he didn't fall asleep for a long time. It wasn't because of Wei Wu's snoring. He had long been used to the brothers sleeping in the same bed for so long. He had something on his mind, and he always felt that something had not been handled properly.
But for a moment he couldn't remember what it was. He sat up and slowly recalled today's experience from the beginning. When he recalled Cheng An, he suddenly understood.
Cheng An's expression was a little weird at that time. He seemed to have something to say but didn't say it. Although he didn't say it, he seemed to hope that he would understand. He was hesitant to speak, as if he wanted to attract his attention and give him something.
It seems like he has enough reaction time.
What exactly did he want to say? Wei Ba turned over his memories, and finally vaguely felt that Cheng An's expression started to look weird when he mentioned Liao Li.
Is there something hidden about Liao Li? But what exactly does Cheng An want to say? Wei Ba's head hurts thinking about it, and he didn't find any problems with Liao Li's resume. Is it just that he wants Wei Yan to take Liao Li as a lesson?
Change your conceited temper?
Wei Ba patted his forehead and sighed. Talking to these people is such a waste of brains. Is there anything that I can't explain clearly, and I have to guess like this? ————Please recommend, please collect!
