"Zhao Guang was originally a captain. Even if he has merit this time, he can only be promoted to a school captain at most. How many troops can he command?"
Wei Ba raised his eyebrows and the smile on his face gradually faded. He was indeed a little unhappy. Even now, Zhuge Liang still hasn't given up and actually wants to bite Zhao Guang. Is this interesting?
Wei Ba bowed again and saluted: "Prime Minister, the matter is urgent. Although Zhao Guang is not a sergeant, he is a calm and capable commander, much like his father. This time he was able to capture Shanggui. He was successful and captured alive."
Guo Huai will be relied on to guard Longguan in the future, and it seems that it is not impossible for him to be promoted unexpectedly. A surrendered soldier who has made great contributions can be made a marquis and a general, why can't he?"
Zhuge Liang's face suddenly turned pale and his anger appeared. Wei Ba actually refuted him so directly, which was beyond his expectation. He glared at Wei Ba angrily and shouted in a deep voice: "Ziyu, are you accusing me of uneven rewards and punishments?"
Wei Ba shook his head: "Prime Minister, I am just talking about things. How dare I accuse the Prime Minister? Does the Prime Minister regard me as one of those armchair scholars?"
Zhuge Liang choked on his words and his face became even more ugly. Wei Ba's words were even harsher than the previous one. He was reminding him that more troublesome things were still waiting for him. Even more rude than Wei Ba, headed by Lai Min
scholar, the one who was more lethal than Jiang Wei was the armchair talker Ma Su.
Zhuge Liang was furious and even more horrified. He stared at Wei Ba as if he didn't know Wei Ba. In his impression, although Wei Ba was a little reckless, he was not a man who didn't know how to advance or retreat. He was also very respectful to him and never ignored him.
He would contradict him face to face, and he would never have thought of a situation like today. Now Wei Ba not only explicitly demanded the rights in Guanzhong, but for Zhao Guang's sake, he actually accused him of promoting Jiang Wei out of the ordinary.
Is this still the cautious Wei Ba? He is simply more arrogant and domineering than Wei Yan. If such a person grows up, will it be a blessing to the country?
Zhuge Liang's expression kept changing, and he could hardly resist his anger, and he yelled at Wei Ba. But he finally calmed down, let out a long sigh, and said in a compassionate tone: "Ziyu, you have changed.
You are now the new leader of the sword, sharp and aggressive. Do you feel that you have made some achievements and have forgotten about it? "
"Yes, Prime Minister, I also feel that I have changed. But it is not because of any meritorious service, but because I once walked between life and death." Wei Ba straightened his waist, faced Zhuge Liang's stern eyes, and said one word
He said in one sentence: "Prime Minister, can you imagine how I felt when I was in Chang'an? Can you imagine how I felt when I was ready to welcome the army out of the valley, but heard that the army was in Longyou? Prime Minister,
I will almost never see you again."
When Wei Ba finished speaking, he thought of the fear he felt in those days in Chang'an and the thrill when Xia Houhui almost revealed his identity. Without any acting skills, his voice was filled with grievances and anger, and his voice was choked with sobs. Zhuge Liang
His expression dimmed, and he was speechless for a while. The anger he had just felt faded a little inadvertently, and he became a little more apologetic.
Wei Ba was taken advantage of by me and almost died. He felt aggrieved and his language was a little rude, which is reasonable. After all, he was still a young man who had just become weak and could not hide all his thoughts in his heart. Even Bo Song,
If he were in Wei Ba's situation, he would do the same.
When he thought of Zhuge Qiao, Zhuge Liang's mood softened a bit. His eyes were no longer stern, he stretched out his hand, put it on Wei Ba's shoulder, and patted it gently: "Ziyu, I had no choice. At that time, I didn't
I underestimated you when I thought you could defend Guanzhong."
Wei Ba sniffed, raised his arm and wiped his eyes, making them redder. He lowered his head and remained silent, neither accepting nor rejecting Zhuge Liang's apology.
Seeing Wei Ba's stubborn appearance, Zhuge Liang also felt a little helpless. This was originally a power struggle, but he felt a little sorry when Wei Ba made such a fuss. Some of the measures he had originally planned could not be discussed for a while. He hesitated.
After a moment, he decided to put the matter aside for now. Wei Ba was now in a state of excitement and could not talk about the problem rationally. He was really driven to a panic, and it was hard to say anything more outrageous.
Zhuge Liang hesitated for a moment and broke the deadlock: "The battle situation in Guanzhong is urgent, and reinforcements should be sent. However, Chengdu is where His Majesty is, and there is no room for failure. Twenty thousand people are too many, and I can only give ten thousand, and moreover, I can only give it to
Your father, General Zhenbei." He paused and then said: "As for General Zhendong, he is highly respected and respected by me, and I still need him. He will be transferred back to Chengdu as soon as the war in Guanzhong is over, and he cannot stay in Guanzhong. Zhao
Guang can stay. He has made meritorious service this time and has been promoted. It is not impossible, but he will not follow the same example next time. Ziyu must abide by the national laws. Even if I am the prime minister, I cannot do it without permission."
Wei Ba doesn't care about this. As long as he can win the title of general for Zhao Guang, tie Zhao Guang tightly, and set an example for others, then everything will be fine. Whether you abide by the law and be self-disciplined, I have no control over.
"Thank you, Prime Minister." Wei Ba bowed and saluted: "I was excited just now and I was rude. Please forgive me, Prime Minister."
Zhuge Liang curled his lips, snorted and made no comment.
"Well..." Wei Ba said hesitantly: "Prime Minister, when you retreat, can you leave Guanzhong?"
"Why are you leaving Guanzhong?"
"Firstly, the Prime Minister's withdrawal from Guanzhong can shorten the journey and facilitate the supply of food and grass. Secondly, it may give Cao Wei an illusion that the Prime Minister is stationed in Guanzhong, prompting them to withdraw their troops as soon as possible."
Zhuge Liang thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "That's very good."
The big deal was decided, and the two discussed the details again. Wei Ba then stood up and left. When he passed by the tent, he saw Jiang Wei standing aside. Jiang Wei also looked at him, very curious. Wei Ba's eyes were red.
Red, as if he had just cried. Why did he become tearful while discussing official business? Jiang Wei was puzzled.
Wei Ba did not explain, but carefully looked at this famous general in the late Three Kingdoms period, but he did not feel any excitement in his heart. Just before attending the meeting, he heard a piece of news about Jiang Wei, which made him feel quite shameless towards this famous general.
.
Jiang Wei was from Ji County. After his father died in the war, his mother raised him. After surrendering to the Shu Han, Jiang Wei did not take his mother back and stayed in Ji County. Ji County was recaptured by Zhang He, and Jiang Wei
Wei's mother sent someone to find him and asked him to go home. As a result, Jiang Wei said, "There are hundreds of hectares of fertile land, not one acre, but there are Polygala aspiration, not Angelica." That is to say, I want to follow the Prime Minister to make contributions and not go home.
Mom, please wish yourself well.
These words came from those who had opinions about Zhuge Liang, so there is no guarantee that they will be processed. However, it is true that Jiang Wei did not return to Ji County. Wei Ba believes that even if there are embellished elements, the basic meaning should not be too outrageous. For Jiang Wei
Wei Ba dislikes Wei Ba's strong ambition for meritorious service, and even despises him. For the sake of meritorious service, he even gave up his widowed mother. Is such a person still a human being?
The Han Dynasty talks about filial piety, and although Wei Ba doesn't value filial piety that much, he really doesn't care about loyal ministers like Jiang Wei, and he has no interest in making friends with him.
Wei Ba returned to the main tent and told Zhao Guang the news that Zhuge Liang agreed to be promoted. Zhao Guang patted Wei Ba on the shoulder and said happily: "Ziyu, I didn't expect that you can accomplish such a difficult thing. My father...
...I read you right. Hahaha...I didn't expect that I became a general before my brother, so he would definitely envy me."
"If you are looking for fish in the Yuan, it is better to retreat and build a net." Wei Ba took advantage of the heat to strike: "There are still battles to be fought in Guanzhong. In the future, when the prime minister moves eastward, Guanzhong will also be an important battlefield, and there will be many opportunities for you to make contributions. Let you
Brother, come too."
Zhao Guang glanced at Wei Ba, laughed, rubbed his hands and said: "Ziyu, don't worry, as soon as my appointment is announced, not only my brother, but also more people will want to come to Guanzhong.
You can’t arrange it.”
Wei Ba said cheerfully: "Can't we arrange it? As long as we have really capable people, we are never afraid of having too many people. If Guanzhong can't arrange it, can't we attack outwards? How many people will we have to conquer Longyou, Liangzhou, and Luoyang in the future?
Can’t arrange it?”
Zhao Guang smiled broadly and nodded repeatedly.
Zhao Guang, including his father Zhao Yun, supported Wei Ba because they knew that Zhuge Liang suppressed the forces of non-Jingxiang factions, and there was no chance of following Zhuge Liang. They would go it alone and lack strength, and they would be dependent on the same Jingxiang faction, but it would not be complete.
It was Zhuge Liang's vassal Wei Yan and his son who had the opportunity. Now that their wish has been fulfilled, it means that the original choice was correct, and of course they are happy. Wei Ba wants to use Zhao Guang to send a signal to those interest groups that were excluded by Zhuge Liang in order to attract more
Many people came to seek refuge, no matter what their purpose was, as long as they could be used by him, the purpose was achieved. After some hard work, he initially achieved his goal, and he felt equally happy.
The two of them had a good rapport and looked at each other and smiled.
…
Xiang Lang paced back and forth in the tent with his hands behind his back. Ma Di sat aside, his face was haggard and his eye sockets were sunken. After several days of running away and hiding, his spirit almost collapsed.
Xiang Lang was about to collapse. Ma Di came back alive, and he was relieved. But it didn't last long before he raised his voice again. Although Ma Di was hiding in his tent, he became the focus of everyone's discussion.
, is a weapon used by the opposition to attack Zhuge Liang. Why did Lai Min mention the late emperor? It was not just because the Northern Expedition was ineffective, but because when the late emperor was still alive, he said that Ma Su could not be reused.
Failure to recognize people well and employ them inappropriately are the key points that Lai Min and others accused Zhuge Liang of.
It is precisely because of this that Xiang Lang is even more embarrassed. Ma Di cannot hide in his tent for a lifetime, so even if he is alive, he is dead. What's more, there is no guarantee that this secret can be kept for a lifetime. Sooner or later, the news will be leaked. But
It's not a good idea to let Ma Di go see Zhuge Liang now. Zhuge Liang is in a vortex of right and wrong. How will he deal with Ma Di? If he doesn't deal with it, he won't be able to face everyone. If he doesn't deal with it, then the Ma family will be doomed.
Xiang Lang had no choice but to spin back and forth.
Ma Su was silent for a long time: "Xiang Gong, I... I want to see the Prime Minister."
"No." Xiang Lang waved his hand without hesitation: "At least not now." He suddenly stopped, his eyes flashed, and then said: "How about you go back to your hometown for a while."
"What?" Ma Su was stunned for a moment, raised his head, and looked at Xiang Lang in surprise. After a moment, he shook his head firmly: "No."
