Wei Ba turned around and glanced at Lai Min, without making any comment. He turned back and cupped his hands to Zhuge Liang: "Prime Minister, this is exactly why I came here. Although Ma Canjun was defeated by Mumen, he has made great achievements in this Northern Expedition.
Even if the offense is balanced, it will not lead to a death penalty. What is the purpose of this public discussion? Who wants to kill Ma Changjun and destroy the pillar of our great Han Dynasty?"
Wei Ba's face darkened, he looked around, his sharp eyes finally landed on Lai Min's face, and he shouted sternly: "What's your intention?"
Lai Min was startled and took a step back, almost tripping over the hem of his own clothes. However, he immediately stood firm and shouted loudly: "Ma Su defeated Mumen, causing the Prime Minister's plan to encircle and annihilate Zhang He to fail.
Shanggui is an isolated city, isn't his crime heavy enough?"
"The whole country was destroyed in the Northern Expedition, but there was only one lonely city in Shanggui?" Wei Ba laughed and said, "Who said that? Guanzhong was not the result of the Northern Expedition? Chang'an City is not a city? The 800-mile Qinchuan River was abandoned by Cao Wei on his own initiative?"
Lai Min also blushed and yelled loudly: "Wei Canjun, do you want to boast about your merits? Yes, our army has won Guanzhong, but what does Guanzhong have to do with Ma Di? You want to use Guanzhong's military exploits to redeem Ma Di?"
Crime? What is the use of military law? Can those who have done meritorious service ignore the law? Is the imperial court of the Han Dynasty privately awarded by the people of Jingxiang? "
Wei Ba frowned, and after Lai Min finished his roar, he said coldly: "How can you, a scholar, understand the important military matters? Yes, Guanzhong is the Zhendong General, and the Zhenbei General's hard battle is the result, but the troops came out of Ziwu
Gu's plan is the result of Ma Canjun's strategizing. My father and son planned it, Ma Canjun carefully deployed it, and the Prime Minister made the decision. They are all interlocking and indispensable. The results of Guanzhong are the result of the joint efforts of our Han army and people, so how can we just
The blame is placed on some of them? According to what you said, doesn’t His Majesty in Chengdu have nothing to do with this war?”
Wei Ba smiled slightly: "General, in fact, even though you did not go into battle to kill the enemy, you still made meritorious service. You don't have to be too humble." He looked around and smiled loudly: "In this Northern Expedition, everyone here has made meritorious deeds.
Prime Minister, are you right?"
Zhuge Liang curled his lips and nodded lightly: "Everyone, what do you think?"
There was silence in the big tent. Lai Min was so angry that his hair was beating, but he had nothing to say.
Wei Ba's words are very sharp. The first is to close the loopholes in Lai Min's words. Who said that those who did not participate in the war have no merit? If so, then our great emperor Liu Chan did nothing in Chengdu. This Northern Expedition
It has nothing to do with him? This is obviously untrue, otherwise it would be disrespectful. It may not matter to people like Wei Ba, but to Lai Min, who always puts etiquette on his lips, this is an extremely big and important problem.
A hat that couldn't be heavier.
Second, it captures everyone’s psychology. No matter how good or bad the war is, everyone hopes to get some credit. Only with credit can there be rewards, and with rewards, life will be easier. Seeing that the New Year is coming, who doesn’t point to the end of the year?
With a salary, who would expect to lose the battle and go home in disgrace? Even if you are willing to block other people's way of making money, others will not worry about you?
So as soon as Wei Ba said this, even Lai Min turned off the engine, pinched his nose, and returned to his seat in despair.
It seems that the words are sharp, but in fact it is not the case at all. Why did Zhuge Liang kill Ma Di? Do you think he had a grudge against Ma Di and had to kill him to resolve the grudge? No. It was because the main force of the Northern Expedition was ineffective and did not deal with the culprit Ma Di.
, I can't explain it. As for the late emperor, it's just an excuse. If he really wanted to kill Ma Su, a hundred Wei Ba wouldn't be able to save him. It's better to say that Wei Ba saved Ma Su, rather than that Wei Ba gave Zhuge Liang a step down.
What steps did Wei Ba give? Of course, the results of the Guanzhong victory were included in the entire Northern Expedition. Not only that, he also gave the first hero in the capture of Guanzhong to Zhuge Liang. His father and son worked hard, but it was just execution. The real decision-maker was the wise prime minister.
Sir, the person in charge of coordinating this is the extremely smart Ma Shenjun. We, father and son, are just killing people and doing some specific things.
Therefore, the Prime Minister had merit, and the Northern Expedition could not be considered a failure, but it could only be said to be imperfect. Ma joined the army with merit, but he was not able to kill Zhang He, which is a little regretful. Even if the merits are not overshadowed, the crime will not lead to death.
In this way, the prime minister gained face and joined the army and gained his life, but what about Wei Ba? Wei Ba gave up his first victory in Guanzhong. It seemed that he suffered a great loss, but he gained the friendship of the people of Jingxiang and stood between Jingxiang and Zhuge Liang.
Wedge a hand. If possible, there is also the Prime Minister's gratitude - after all, he allowed Zhuge Liang to rescue the siege without killing Ma Di. Regardless of whether the Prime Minister is grateful or not, at least he knows it in his heart. In order to maintain the overall situation and protect his Prime Minister's
In terms of expression, Wei Ba made sacrifices and took the overall situation into consideration.
Besides, even if Wei Ba was humble, Zhuge Liang still had the nerve not to reward Wei Yan and Zhao Yun for his military exploits? Zhao Guang jumped a rank and became a general, and he had the nerve to give it away again? Isn't that a slap in the face?
Therefore, Wei Ba also took advantage. What he gave up was a false reputation and gained actual benefits.
What if he refuses to give up? It seems that he has kept his military exploits, but Zhuge Liang is forced to kill Ma Su, and the strength of the Jingxiang family is damaged. Xiang Lang and others will bear their hatred on his head, and the Wei family will be even more ostracized.
, if something happens to the Wei family in the future, no one will come to help. Just like Wei Yan died unexpectedly in history, but no one from the Jingxiang family came out to say a word of justice.
Whether you are willing to give up or not, you must give up first and then gain. Unfortunately, many people cannot see this. They only see the vested interests in their hands and are unwilling to make any concessions, so they cannot obtain greater benefits.
Perseverance is a kind of wisdom that Wei Ba did not understand in his previous life, and now he only has some understanding. And the person he is learning from is Prime Minister Zhuge.
From the moment Xiang Lang came to express his attitude, Wei Ba knew what he should do. But he did not perform step by step according to Xiang Lang's arrangement. He had to fight for greater interests for himself. The initiative was in his own hands.
, why bother to dance according to Xiang Lang's steps? When Xiang Lang and others were defeated in the public discussion, and when Zhuge Liang was forced to issue the order to execute Ma Di, let Ma Di go through the test of life and death and realize that he was just a pawn. Between him and Zhuge Liang,
A crack, even an invisible mark, would be of great benefit to him in the future.
If you want to compete with Zhuge Liang for power, you must first pry into his corner. What is his corner? Of course it is the Jing-Xiang clan.
Wei Ba gave up the first victory in Guanzhong, and everything went smoothly next. Zhuge Liang quickly assigned tasks, adding two thousand more troops to Zhao Guang, adding Ma Dai as Pingbei General, and leading a thousand cavalry to help Zhao Guang defend Long Pass. In this way
There are 6,000 defenders in Longguan. Xianglang is appointed as general of the bandits and leads 5,000 troops. Wang Ping is appointed as the Prime Minister's Mansion and joins the army. Leading 2,000 troops, they guard Shanggui together. The remaining troops withdrew from Guanzhong and returned through Xiegu.
Hanzhong.
The military situation is urgent. Give the order and set off immediately.
Wei Ba led more than 2,000 cavalry and could not pass through Duangu Waterway smoothly, so he could only go with Zhao Guang and detour to Longguan. Although Zhao Guang jumped one level due to his military exploits, he was directly promoted from captain to general Zhechong, and also led
With five thousand soldiers guarding Long Pass, he could be regarded as an important general, but Zhuge Liang arranged for him Ma Dai as his deputy, which made him a little uncomfortable.
Ma Dai was from Guanzhong. He led a thousand Ma's army. After changing the horses and experiencing this battle, the strength of Ma's army increased. Moreover, after being stimulated by Zhang He's elusive tactics, Shu Han's importance to the cavalry further increased.
With the improvement, Ma Dai's role has also increased. Placing such a person next to Zhao Guang as his deputy may seem like he attaches great importance to Zhao Guang, but in fact he is a threat.
With Ma Dai's qualifications, could Zhao Guang easily accuse him? Against Cao Wei's army, Zhao Guang, who commanded the infantry, could only defend. The main force in the battle was Ma Dai. In the future, Ma Dai would be promoted far faster than Zhao Guang. Zhao Guang was
The possibility of replacement is very high.
Zhao Guang was very unhappy and took the opportunity of traveling with Wei Ba to express his worries frankly.
Wei Ba also smelled something unusual from Zhuge Liang's arrangements. In addition to the arrangements for the defense of Longguan, Xiang Lang's appointment was also unusual. Xiang Lang was appointed as a bandit because of his military exploits under Shanggui City.
The general led five thousand troops to guard Shanggui, but he was assigned Wang Ping as his deputy. When Xiang Lang led the troops, his prime minister's long history was naturally gone. Now Yang Yi takes over as the prime minister's long history. But Wang Ping leads the army
With the identity of the Prime Minister joining the army, when comparing the two, you will know that it is not as simple as who leads whom.
The Battle of Longyou has come to an end, but everyone knows that the next battle will be more intense, and how heavy the burdens on Xiang Lang and Zhao Guang's shoulders are. The deputy generals assigned to them are two people like this, and anyone will feel a little uneasy.
.
Is this a lieutenant or a substitute who is ready at any time?
"Brother, you think too much. As long as I am still in Guanzhong, no one can touch you." Wei Ba comforted: "It is a good thing to have Ma Jiajun to help. At least you have cavalry."
"Cavalry, you have to listen to me." Zhao Guang smacked his lips and glanced at Wei Ba: "Besides, can you guarantee that you will always be in Guanzhong? You are joining the army from the Prime Minister's Palace. Who knows what the Prime Minister's papers are?
With the transfer order, you will leave Guanzhong."
"I can leave Guanzhong, but my father will still be there." Wei Ba patted Zhao Guang on the shoulder and said softly: "Don't worry, if nothing unexpected happens, my father has decided to make the Zhenbei General, and there may be more.
Plus the Governor of Guanzhong. With him here, who dares to touch you? You know my father's protective temper."
Zhao Guang grinned and could only do this. The initiative in this matter was still in Zhuge Liang's hands, and Wei Ba had nothing to do. Fortunately, Zhuge Liang would leave Guanzhong soon, and Wei Yan still had the final say in Guanzhong.
"Ziyu, you have to be careful about those Jingxiang people." Zhao Guang changed the subject: "It's understandable that you want their support, but you can't be too hasty, you have to do it step by step. It's just like practicing martial arts, although the longer the spear, the longer the spear.
The heavier it is, the more powerful it is, but it also depends on whether you have the strength. With that strength, you can turn the spear into your arm, and you are the one carrying the spear. Without that strength, the spear is the one carrying you."
Wei Ba raised his eyelids and said, "Senior brother, did you teach me two moves so that I can move the spear better instead of being hit by the spear?"
Zhao Guang smiled slightly: "If you want to learn spear, isn't it easy? I'm afraid you don't have time to practice."
Wei Ba sighed and had to admit that what Zhao Guang said was the truth. He is not an idle man now. It is impossible to practice spear as wholeheartedly as he did when he practiced boxing. Time does not allow it.
Why don't people focus on childish skills when practicing martial arts? When you get older, not only are your muscles and bones already mature, but more importantly, you don't have time. Unless you are a martial arts idiot who doesn't do your job and focuses on martial arts, how can normal people have so much time to practice martial arts?
