"Oh, that's right, no hurry." Wei Ba scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly: "You have to wait for the Prime Minister to see."
Xiahou Hui nodded understandingly: "I know that when Prime Minister Zhuge arrives in Guanzhong, he will naturally have to pass the purpose."
Wei Ba felt a little uncomfortable, but he was not easy to express it, just smiled perfunctorily.
"Can I... ask something?" Xiahou Hui said tentatively.
"What's the matter?" Wei Ba looked at Xiahou Hui alertly, "I may not be able to tell you."
Xiahou Hui blushed, stretched out his hand to lift a strand of hair, lowered his head, and his heart was pounding. Peng Xiaoyu once said to her, "My young master likes beautiful women, and you happen to have a good face." Now
Peng Xiaoyu went to Wancheng, and she had no way out, so she had to follow the path she guided by Peng Xiaoyu. If she wanted to get close to Wei Ba, of course she had to make good use of her advantages, but she was born in a wealthy family since she was a child, with talent and an elder
The pearl in their hands has never needed to show off their lust to please people, let alone Wei Ba is still an enemy? Now that the situation is imminent, she has to do so. Not only is she unfamiliar, but she is also very nervous, and she is constantly struggling inside, and she looks more and more clumsy.
"Don't worry about joining the army. I won't ask about things I shouldn't have asked about." Xiahou Hui twisted his fingers: "I just want to ask about joining the army. When will I go back to Chengdu?"
"Return to Chengdu? What are you doing?"
"I want... please join the army and take me to Chengdu. I want... to meet my clan's aunt, that is... Zhang Cheqi's vassal."
It took Wei Ba a long time to realize who the vassal of Zhang Cheqi was, and he couldn't help but be surprised: "You are going to Chengdu, and you won't go back to Luoyang?"
Xiahou Hui's face turned dim and he remained silent. Wei Ba smiled awkwardly and did not ask any further. He also knew that a noble woman like Xiahou Hui had been a prisoner and had been to prison, and her reputation was even worse. Although he was not bad, he was not bad.
She did not ruin her chastity, but who would believe it? It is an unacceptable humiliation to be judged by her chastity. She went to Chengdu to surrender to Zhang Fei's wife, which was also an unacceptable humiliation.
"Well, I don't know yet. If... if I go back to Chengdu, I'll bring you with me." Wei Ba nodded repeatedly with guilt, "Miss, please go back first, I remember this."
"Thank you for joining the army." Xiahou Hui saw that Wei Ba was even more embarrassed than him, and was inexplicably relieved, so he stood up and left hurriedly.
Wei Ba scratched his head in embarrassment, looked at the letter in his hand, and called Wei Xing: "Where has the Prime Minister been?"
Wei Xing blinked his big eyes: "Based on time, we should be at Meiwu soon."
"Okay, invite Prefect Zhao and I have something to discuss with him. You are ready and set off to Meiwu immediately."
"Here." Wei Xing responded lightly and turned around and went out.
Not long after, Zhao Suxing walked in. As soon as he entered the door, he smiled and bowed: "Sir, what are the instructions?"
"Why are you so happy?"
"Hahaha... Of course I am happy. Ten thousand main forces have already rushed to Tongguan, Shangluo, Guanzhong is already the only thing that can be included in the military. How can I not be happy?"
Wei Ba rolled his eyes and thought to himself that Guanzhong is the treasure of you Hanzhong people. This time, using Ma Su's affairs as an opportunity, he forced Zhuge Liang to admit his vested interests, including the Hanzhong people in Guanzhong.
Interests. In the three counties of Guanzhong, the Hanzhong people had two prefects, and the people of the Heavenly Master Dao people took a big advantage.
"The Prime Minister is about to arrive in the Mudwu, are you ready for food and grass?"
Zhao Su slapped his chest: "Join the army, after your order, I will start to get out of luck. Can there be any delays? A 50,000 army of 50,000 yuan a month of food and grass, enough medicinal materials, is enough to ensure that the Prime Minister returns to Hanzhong."
Wei Ba nodded with satisfaction: "How much food do we have in stock?"
"Well, we have only two months left before we get rid of the seeds of spring plowing." Zhao Su put away his smile: "If you want to join the army, if you want to support the autumn harvest, we must increase your tribute to Guanzhong."
Wei Ba also frowned. Of course, he knew that Guanzhong's food is also tight now, and the results of last year's military farming cannot support the next autumn harvest. But he didn't want to force the increase in taxes now. Guanzhong has not been completely stable yet, suddenly
With the increase in taxes, the people of Guanzhong will feel something.
"You should first communicate with the powerful people and buy some help first." Wei Ba pondered for a while and gave his own opinions: "When we defeat Cao Wei, the situation in Guanzhong will be more stable, and then the tax will be increased."
Zhao Su hesitated for a moment: "When will we be able to repel Cao Wei?"
"It's almost done." Wei Ba glanced at the letter on the case: "It's fast for one or two months, and it's slow for two or three months. I think that until now, Cao Wei has no potential. The most difficult time has passed.
The next consumption will not be that great anymore.”
Zhao Su sighed. Wei Ba said this, but he was still not sure. Cao Wei had no potential, so why didn't he do this in Guanzhong? Twenty thousand people died in front of each other, and countless food and grass were consumed. If it weren't for Wei Ba's design
Those workshops are incredible, and Guanzhong cannot support them just by ordnance and stone bombs.
"Okay, then I'll talk to them first."
...
Wei Ba took the letter written by Xiahou Hui and rushed to Meiwu. On the way, he received an order from Zhuge Liang to rush to Meiwu to discuss matters.
Wei Ba was not very clear about what to discuss. Is it a matter of Guanzhong or a matter of Chengdu? If it was a matter of Guanzhong, then he didn't want to discuss it with Zhuge Liang. If it was a matter of Chengdu, Zhuge Liang probably wouldn't discuss it with him.
He couldn't think of too much besides these two things.
When he arrived at the Meiwu, he saw the camp at the entrance of the Xigu Valley. Wei Ba secretly praised himself. Zhuge Liang's camp was so beautiful that it was almost impossible to attack. From his camp, there was no way to see it.
He means defeating a battle, no matter when, he is so steady.
When we arrived at the Central Army camp, Wei Ba entered the camp and asked to see him. Zhuge Liang was discussing matters, and Ma Su, Jiang Wei and others were all there. Seeing Wei Ba entering the tent, Zhuge Liang did not make much politeness, waved to let Wei Ba sit next to him, and then he went straight to the point.
He said, "Ziyu, there are two things to call you in such a hurry. First, I want to rush back to Hanzhong as soon as possible. The wounded soldiers are unable to move. I want to leave them in Hanzhong first. Is there any problem?"
Wei Ba quickly stood up and said, "No problem."
"Is there enough food in Guanzhong?"
"It's a bit difficult, but the food rations of these 20,000 wounded soldiers can still be squeezed out." Wei Ba smiled and said, "If the Prime Minister is willing to keep them in Guanzhong for a long time, it would be better."
Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "It's not impossible to keep them in Guanzhong for farming. But in this way, I will transfer some other troops away. You know, there is a war in Yong'an, and I don't have enough troops."
.”
Wei Ba beat him up and said nothing. He also knew that Zhuge Liang had already given him ten thousand soldiers, and it was impossible to give him any more troops.
"The second thing, I read the deductions between you and Youchang, and I also heard Youchang talk about your views on Dongwu. I asked you to come, just to study how to implement this plan."
Wei Ba was stunned for a moment, raised his head and looked at Zhuge Liang. He suspected that he had heard it wrong. He had made such a big deal in Guanzhong, so Zhuge Liang still wanted him to participate in the war on the southern front?
Zhuge Liang seemed to be prepared for his surprise, but just smiled slightly. He waved his hand and said to Ma Su: "Youchang, tell me the result of your deduction, and then Ziyu will talk about your melee plan."
Ma Su bowed to the promise, then got up and walked to the map, and spoke loudly. His voice was a little hoarse, but it was very clean. His face was still as thin as it was, but the decay had faded a lot, but there was still some dullness in his eyes.
.
"The war in Guanzhong has become a deadlock. I must defend, Wei must attack, and no one will give in. Therefore, within a predictable one or two years, Cao Wei will attempt to retake Guanzhong. It is a blessing that Guanzhong can protect the eastern front.
It is impossible to have the strength to advance westward." Ma Su pointed to Yong'an again. "While Cao Wei independently captured Guanzhong, he also incited Sun Quan to attack Yong'an. Our army fought on both sides, and the troops were short of strength, but it was still second. The most important thing was that it consumed too much.
If we don’t have time to recover our vitality, we will be one or two years faster, and two or three years later, and we will be in vain and will be unable to sustain our lives."
"So, we must break this deadlock as soon as possible, and remove the danger of fighting on both sides before spring plowing, and gain time to recuperate." Ma Su paused, looked at the people in the tent, and finally looked at Wei Ba's face: "
Wei Zhanjun once made a suggestion, taking advantage of Fangling's unique geographical advantages, taking the initiative to attack, creating friction between Wei and Wu, allowing them to suspicion and guard against each other, so as to reduce the pressure on our army. Wei Zhanjun, tell me about you
It's the truth."
Wei Ba pointed at his nose in surprise: "Me?"
Zhuge Liang smiled and nodded: "Ziyu, don't belittle yourself. Although you sometimes act exaggeratedly and hasty, your ideas are endless and inspiring. I think your melee plan is feasible, so you can talk about it and let everyone take a closer look.
Let's take a look."
Wei Ba was speechless. Are you praising me or scolding me? Slap me and give me a date? He hesitated for a moment: "What the Prime Minister means is that I want me to... follow the army?"
"You are a member of the Prime Minister's Office, so of course you have to follow the army." Zhuge Liang smiled, "Why, do you still want to stay in Guanzhong and not leave?"
Wei Ba smacked his lips and didn't know how to answer. Zhao Guang really hit it. Zhuge Liang wanted to transfer him from Guanzhong, but it was just a matter of one sentence. He had no reason to refuse except to resign.
"Okay, with your father, General Zhenbei, here in Guanzhong, you will not be able to make any mistakes. But in the battle of Fangling, you must be." Zhuge Liang laughed and comforted: "When you win back the Eastern Wu, if you want to come.
Guanzhong, can you come again."
Wei Ba smiled helplessly, got up and walked to the map, took Jing Zhu from Ma Su's hand. The two eyes touched and then separated again, as if nothing had happened, but Wei Ba knew that he asked Ma Su to convey what he asked him to convey.
Ma Su has already conveyed it truthfully. Zhuge Liang asked him to go to Fangling, of course he had the intention to transfer him from Guanzhong, but more of it should be based on the overall situation. I hope he can play to his strengths and relieve the current difficulties. (Unfinished
