While accompanying Wu Yi to inspect the training of each battalion, Ma Di didn't speak much. He just watched and occasionally asked a few questions. He didn't show much enthusiasm for everyone's training, but he watched very seriously.
Wu Yi was very surprised. This was not the Ma Su he remembered, but Wu Yi was also very satisfied. If he was still the high-spirited Ma Su, he would definitely be gesticulating here, and it would be difficult for him to do so. This is good! Wu Yi was relieved.
In a tone of voice, he said to Wei Ba: "Ziyu, you accompany Ma Canjun to reminisce about old times. I'll prepare some wine and food. Let's have a few drinks together in the evening to welcome Ma Canjun."
Wei Ba smiled, and Ma Su also cupped his hand: "General, thank you for your trouble."
Wu Yi laughed, winked at Wei Ba, and left.
Ma Su turned to Wei Ba and said, "Ziyu, come with me to see the scenery of Han River?"
"It's an honor." Wei Ba had a faint smile on his face, cupped his hands on his chest, and leaned forward and said, "Please join the army."
Ma Su did not move, tilted his head slightly, and looked at Wei Ba for a long time, and suddenly laughed: "Ziyu, I am the Prime Minister joining the army, and you are also the Prime Minister joining the army. We are colleagues, so you don't need to be so respectful to me."
Wei Ba shook his head: "Although we are colleagues, you are an elder of Tongzhou. How can I dare to be so presumptuous in front of you?"
Ma Su was silent for a moment and then said: "You were actually the first to contribute to the Northern Expedition. It's just that General Wei is your father and General Zhao is your division, so your reputation has been obscured. Otherwise, your current official title will be lost."
Above me. But I am a defeated general. If Xiang Gong had not come forward and you came to help me, I would have been dead. In terms of talent, you are above me. In terms of military achievements, I am beyond your reach. You are so respectful to me,
How do I handle myself?”
Wei Ba shook his head: "Join the army, I said, I will save you, of course the big reason is because of Xiang Gong's teachings. But if you lose that game of chess, I may not save you, or I may still save you."
You, but you will definitely not be so polite now. You should know that my respect for you is my respect for you. If you had died when you joined the army, you would have been a failure in your life, and of course you are not worthy of my respect. But joining the army
Since he is still alive and, in my opinion, has improved, I believe there is still a chance to join the army."
"What chance?"
"Prove yourself. A chance to win back your dignity."
"But I may not be able to prove myself."
"When that time comes, I will naturally despise you." Wei Ba said without changing his expression.
Ma Su tightened his eyes and gritted his teeth. After a moment, he suddenly laughed: "Then I have to fight not to be spurned by you. Ziyu, let's go for a walk together. I was entrusted by someone to ask you a few words.
." Ma Di said, reaching out and patting Wei Ba on the shoulder: "There are no outsiders here, let's just relax."
Wei Ba also smiled and put down his arms. He walked with his hands behind his back like Ma Su. The two were side by side and equally tall. But Ma Su was thinner and not as strong as Wei Ba. He looked a little thin. Looking from behind, he looked like
It is a tall and tall green bamboo.
Xie Guanglong held his sword and walked side by side with Dun Wu. He looked at Ma Su's back and breathed out a heartfelt breath. His expression felt inexplicably relaxed, as if an unbearable burden had been lifted.
Dunwu looked at him with a smile but not a smile: "I heard that Brother Xie is very skilled in swordsmanship. I wonder if I have a chance to see it?"
Xie Guanglong turned his head and looked at Dunwu: "Even if Brother Dun doesn't want to, I still want to see Dunwu's skull-breaking swordsmanship."
Dunwu laughed: "Sure enough."
Xie Guanglong curled his lips slightly and nodded slightly: "Sure enough."
…
Ma Di and Wei Ba walked side by side and unknowingly walked to the pier by the Han River. Along the long wooden bridge, the two of them walked to the end. In the Han River, the navy was practicing, and Feng Jin stood on a ship.
On the medium-sized warship, dozens of warships were commanding to besiege the armored warship. The armored warship rushed left and right, invincible, and people kept falling into the water on the besieging warship. It was cold in spring, and the Han River was still biting, but none of the sailors were
After retreating and falling into the water, they climbed onto the boat, took off their soaked shirts and fought again. The cold wind blew, stimulating them to scream and get even crazier.
Ma Di looked at the strange warship and smiled: "Is this the warship that made Sun Quan restless?"
Wei Ba smiled slightly: "Yes, but no."
"Oh, what do you mean by that?"
"The reason Sun Quan was restless as he said was probably because Cao Wei had a stronger warship than them. If that's what he meant, then I can only say no. Because Cao Wei's ship was an immature plan and was not comparable to this ship.
Compared to that, it’s really not worth mentioning.”
Ma Su raised his eyebrows: "Then what do you mean by that?"
"I say yes, because not long ago, it was the ship in front of me that defeated Zhu Ran's navy."
Ma Su was startled, thought for a moment, and suddenly realized: "You mean, this ship sneaked between Wu and Wei..." Ma Su was a little excited, clenched his hands into fists, and bumped each other twice. "So, they...
The fight has begun."
Wei Ba smiled proudly and pointed at Feng Jin, who was making accusations: "He is the one who performed the task."
Ma Su smiled and shook his head: "This is unexpected. Not only Sun Quan didn't expect it, but even the Prime Minister didn't expect it. No wonder you didn't report the situation here. It turns out that this is a secret that cannot be told. However, you still want to reveal your secret to the Prime Minister.
Make a plan, he is very concerned about the war here, and he is also very concerned about you."
Wei Ba nodded tacitly. The Prime Minister cares about you and what he cares about, but he doesn't say it. Of course there is a reminder in it.
"No wonder Mr. Xiang favors you." Ma Di watched the naval exercise with great interest and started chatting. "Before I left Longyou, I had a deep talk with Mr. Xiang all night. I heard that Mr. Xiang once suggested that you get to know Yan Zi.
, I wonder if you have paid attention?"
Wei Ba smiled. This sentence is the real topic. Of course Xiang Lang would not ask him the answer in person. The most suitable person would be either his nephew or the person he values the most. Letting Ma Di ask the question inadvertently
It shows Ma Di's status in his mind. Among the younger generation of Jingxiang people, Ma Di is still an irreplaceable existence.
"After reading some, I felt particularly attached to a story."
"Oh, tell me."
Wei Ba paused and told a story about Yanzi's rule in Dong'a.
Before Yan Zi became prime minister, he served as a probationary in Dong'e. After three years, his political achievements were outstanding and the people praised him. However, Qi Jinggong was very dissatisfied with his political achievements. So Yan Zi said, please give me another three years, my lord, and I will definitely be able to prove myself. What follows?
In the past three years, Yanzi did not pay attention to governing Dong'a. Instead, he bullied the superiors and suppressed the subordinates, took corruption and bribes, and ruined his reputation in the first three years. However, he used the money from corruption to manage the people around Jinggong, and those people helped
He said good things, so Jinggong thought that his achievements were outstanding and praised him greatly.
Of course Ma Su also knows this story, but Wei Ba tells this story specifically, but not for the sake of telling stories. This is actually to hand over homework and learning experience to Xiang Lang. Otherwise, he has read so many stories about Yan Zi,
I won’t specifically pick this one to talk about.
Ma Di nodded: "You are very smart, you can draw inferences from one example."
Wei Ba shook his head: "But I don't like it very much."
Ma Su looked at him in surprise, paused, and then said: "You may not like it, but you have to do it. Unless..." He smiled: "Unless you can dominate the world on your own. Otherwise,
You just have to endure it for now."
Wei Ba sighed and nodded helplessly. Of course he understood this truth. He was not a god and could defeat all the invincible opponents in the world by himself. If he really had that strength, he would not need to make any compromises, and he would not have to make any compromises.
If you need to win over anyone, whoever gets in the way will be killed. Unfortunately, even Lu Bu, who is known as the most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms, cannot do this. It is a human being, not a god, so he must gather more power to win.
, if you want to unite others, you must make necessary concessions. When the opportunity is not ripe, you can only swallow your anger and wait patiently.
"Ziyu, you are still young. Young people are more energetic than calm. In fact, you are already very good. There is basically nothing wrong with you."
Wei Ba's heart moved and he quickly asked for advice: "Please join the army for advice."
The corners of Ma Di's mouth tilted, and he thought that Wei Ba really knew it. "Ziyu, I heard that Xia Houshang's daughter is with you?"
Wei Ba hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Ma Di pointed at the armored ship: "Did you do the leak of the new warship's technology on purpose or did she leak it?"
Wei Ba's eyes flashed and he said without thinking: "I did it on purpose." He paused and then explained: "I did it to increase the pressure on Wu State, so that I can use this technology to bargain with them."
Ma Su laughed silently. Wei Ba's superfluous explanation showed that he was lying. However, he did not point it out and continued: "The Prime Minister said that young people should be careful about sex. If you want to succeed in your career, you can't be too addicted to women.
Se. It is too dangerous for Xia Houhui to stay by your side. Not only will the secret be leaked, it will also endanger your life."
He turned his head and said earnestly: "Why should a man worry about not having a wife? If you marry a wife of a similar family and a clean family background, she will be a domestic help rather than a domestic trouble. Ziyu, you should understand the principle of giving up, so why would you do it for a wife?
Is the woman confused?"
Wei Ba raised the corner of his mouth and laughed. The initial secret of the armored ship was indeed leaked by Xia Houhui, but when he was about to use Xia Houhui to deliver false information and then kill her, Xiahou Hui chose
give up.
No matter what her purpose was, she finally gave up.
It was his own mistake to neglect to take precautions. Since Xia Houhui chose to give up, if he kills her again, it will only cover up his mistake. What is the difference between Zhuge Liang's attempt to kill Ma Su? The important thing is to strengthen precautions in the future and never make any more mistakes.
Such a flaw. What's more, he still needs Xiahou Hui to help him deal with Fang Geliang. How could he give up on Xiahou Hui just because of Zhuge Liang's few warnings?
Seeing Wei Ba's hesitation, Ma Di did not try to persuade her anymore. "Send her to Hanzhong to be with your mother. The war in Xiangyang is about to begin. It will be very detrimental to you to keep her by your side."
