The farewell party outside the north gate of Chengdu became lively once again.
A long team came from a distance, countless flags were flying in the wind, and the majestic military music seemed to hit everyone's heart, making people feel an inexplicable sense of security and at the same time feel excited, just like that fierce battle.
The battle is not far away, and it is calling for your participation.
Walking at the front was a group of knights. They sat upright on their horses seriously, holding the reins in their left hands and holding halberds in their right hands. The halberds were pressed against the stirrups. The polished halberd blades were pointed upward, reflecting in the midsummer sun.
There was a frightening cold light. The long halberd belt fluttered in the wind, like a charming girl dancing around the triumphant hero.
There is a shortage of horses in Bashu, especially majestic war horses. The horses under these knights are trophies taken from the Wei army. As soon as these war horses appeared in front of the Chengdu people who were watching the excitement, they immediately attracted a lot of attention.
Guan Xing and Zhang Shao, who were walking among the knights, also benefited a lot. When they walked past the audience, they waved to the audience on both sides. They were both in their early twenties and less than thirty years old.
With good fortunes and titles, they have long been the goals of many girls in Chengdu when choosing a spouse. Now that they have returned from victory, they are even more energetic, and their bright smiles make them enchanted.
"Guan Junhou, welcome the triumphant return..."
"Zhang Junhou, you are more majestic than Lao Junhou..."
After hearing this, Guan Xing and Zhang Shao couldn't help but feel proud. They winked at each other and straightened their waists even more.
The mighty knights are followed by groups of infantry. These infantry are fully armed, with fierce expressions, and neat and powerful steps. It seems that they are not triumphant, but majestic and marching to the battlefield with high spirits. No matter how powerful the enemy is, they will be defeated by them.
Defeated and defeated. Although they were not as majestic as the knights, their numbers were greater and their momentum was stronger, which also aroused waves of cheers.
Feng Jin and Zhang Wei, who were riding their war horses in the formation, enjoyed the admiration of the people and felt happy in their hearts, but their envy for the knight in front was still beyond words.
"Oh, it would be better if we took the water route." Zhang Wei sighed: "As soon as our navy's ships appear, the cavalry and so on are all ants and not worth mentioning. Now, we have to watch them show off.
"
Although Feng Jin was also happy, his mood was much calmer. He glanced at Zhang Wei and said, "Okay, you still have a chance to meet him. Zhong Jian stayed in Hanzhong and didn't even have a chance to be welcomed by others. What should we do?"
When he thought of Fu Xing who stayed behind in Hanzhong, Zhang Wei immediately calmed down and nodded repeatedly with a smile: "When I return to the city later, I have to go to his home to report a message first to make his mother happy. Now Zhong Jian is comparable to
His brother is even stronger."
"Well, of course." Feng Jin said with a smile: "Not only Zhong Jian, but also us. Thanks to Ziyu this time, otherwise, we would have never been able to get ahead."
When Wei Ba was mentioned, Zhang Wei immediately thought of it and couldn't help but wonder: "Yes, we have been walking for so long, why didn't we see Ziyu? Did you see it just now?"
Feng Jin's eyes tightened slightly and he shook his head. When he passed by the temple just now, he saw many civil and military ministers in the court and people from the Prime Minister's Palace. He saw Ma Di, but not Wei Ba, and he was already worried
He felt a little uneasy. It was just that he was worried about Zhang Wei's hot temper and was afraid that he would ruin the scene, so he didn't express his worries.
The team marched slowly, and the people in front of the audience finally waited for the protagonist this time: Wu Yi, the rebel general. Wu Yi was the brother of the Empress Dowager, and was vaguely one of the representatives of the existing forces in Yizhou before Liu Bei entered Shu.
This time he has made great achievements, so the reward is needless to say, and his reputation is
It also rose sharply. For many officials and ordinary people who did not know the specific situation, they had no chance to know how many people participated in the Battle of Xiangyang. They only knew that it was General Wu Yi who led the army and won the battle.
Yes, it is naturally due to General Wu.
At this moment, General Wu, who defeated the many with less and the weak with the strong, came in front of them. How could they begrudge their praise and cheers?
"Long live the general..."
"The general is mighty..."
Amidst the overwhelming cheers, Wu Yi, who was dressed up in his best clothes, got out of the car with a smile on his face and greeted the civil and military officials who came up to him. Although his official position was not very high, his seniority was very high. Xu Jing walked in the front.
He opened his mouth with a welcome speech that quoted from classics, which made Wu Yin smile.
Wu Yi chatted with them one by one. After most of them had talked, Wu Yi asked Ma Su in surprise: "You Chang, where is Ziyu? What is this little Shuzi busy with, so he didn't come to pick me up?"
Ma Su was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't say it directly, so he could only say with a fake smile: "General, Ziyu is indeed a little busy. However, he has no intention of being lazy towards the general. After returning to Chengdu, apart from meeting His Majesty, the first thing he did was
All I have to do is go to your house and report that I am safe."
"Oh." Wu Yi sensed something was wrong from Ma Su's words and did not ask further. Although he admired Wei Ba, he had no intention of causing a dispute for Wei Ba on such an occasion.
Unexpectedly, Wu Yi wanted to settle the matter, but some people were unwilling. General Liu Yan squeezed out from the crowd and said with a smile: "Don't you know, General? Wei Ziyu, the tyrant of Wei, is now ordered to shut up and reflect on his past."
Wu Yi was startled: "I shut myself up and think about my mistakes? Why, he has only been in Chengdu for a few days, why did he make a mistake?"
Ma Su snorted displeasedly: "General Hou, General Wu is tired from his journey. Let's talk about these things after we return to the city."
Liu Yan shrank his neck and didn't dare to say anything anymore. Ma Di was the Prime Minister with a long history and was now the most powerful person in the Prime Minister's Palace besides Zhuge Liang. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Ma Di might become Zhuge Liang's successor. How could Liu Yan dare to compete with him?
He was against it. The sentence just now was enough. It would be unwise to offend Ma Di just for the sake of temporary happiness.
Just because Liu Yan was afraid of Ma Su didn't mean that others were afraid. Xu Jing immediately picked up the conversation and laughed: "General Wu, Wei Ba did not make this mistake in Chengdu. He has been in Chengdu for a few days, except for reporting to your house that he is safe.
, that’s it
We had a meal at the Prime Minister's Mansion, and then closed the door to think about it. According to the old man, in such a short time, he may not have had time to make a mistake. This mistake may have been made by the general's subordinates. Why, the general doesn't know at all? "
Wu Yi pondered for a moment, a little embarrassed. He vaguely guessed something from Xu Jing's words, but at this moment, what should he say? Facing Xu Jing's proud eyes and the expectant eyes of everyone, he had to turn around and face
Ma Di said: "Youchang, where did you start talking about this? Wei Ba came to Chengdu with you to report his merits. He is ranked first in the military merit book. Why did he suddenly make a mistake again?"
As soon as Wu Yi said these words, there was a "buzz" in the crowd, and discussions started everywhere. Many people knew about the great victory of Xiangyang, and those who participated in the war must be promoted. For example, Ma Di, who arrived early, was already the chief minister of the Prime Minister's Office. Previously,
Many people's understanding of Wei Ba is limited to the fact that he is a rising star who is deeply impressed by the Prime Minister.
Although he was highly regarded by the prime minister, many people didn't know whether or how much credit he had. So after arriving in Chengdu, Ma Di was promoted, but Wei Ba remained silent, which was not surprising to many people. Now I hear Wu Yi talking about Wei Ba's battle in Xiangyang
Even he himself was ranked first in military merit and fell behind Wei Ba, let alone Ma Di?
Then this thing is strange. Ma Di, who came to Chengdu together, was promoted, but Wei Ba, who had the most outstanding military achievements, just shut himself up and thought about it? Could it be that he was really a troublemaker and made a mistake just after arriving in Chengdu?
Ma Su was very depressed. What Wu Yi said was too vicious. Anyone who knows the inside story knows that Wei Ba's matter will definitely cause trouble. The person who bears this responsibility is either Wu Yi, the supreme commander of the Xiangyang Battle, or the person in charge of military merit rewards.
Prime Minister's Mansion. Now Wu Yi said in front of everyone
Wei Ba is number one in the military merit book, so I take all his responsibilities away from him, and he appears to be noble and upright. You see, I listed Wei Ba ahead of myself, but I did not swallow up his military exploits. As for whether he can do it because of this
It is your Prime Minister's Palace's business to get the rewards you deserve.
Ma Su was in a dilemma, so he had to say a few perfunctory words, and pulled Wu Yi into the audience to talk in detail. Wu Yi didn't want to stand like this in front of everyone anymore. He said this out of helplessness. Xu Jing had just said it
, Wei Ba
He respects him very much and went to his home to report the news as soon as he returned to Chengdu, so he can't treat Wei Ba badly. Otherwise, those who know Wei Ba's military exploits will definitely think that he embezzled Wei Ba's military exploits. Who else will be willing to work for him in the future?
?
He was unwilling to stand up for Wei Ba, but in order to prove his innocence, he could only push the Prime Minister's Palace to the forefront. Ma Su hated Xu Jing and Liu Yan, but in fact he hated these two talkative guys even more. When things got to this point,
He had no choice but to protect himself first.
No matter how Wu Yi and Ma Su discussed it, the news spread like the wind, reaching more people's ears through the mouths of these officials who had only a little knowledge of the situation.
Xia Houxuan, who was wearing casual clothes, stood in the distance, watching all this quietly, with a sneer on his lips. But when his eyes saw the prisoners approaching in groups, especially the tall Wang Shuang, his mood suddenly changed.
became bad.
This time the Shu army mainly fought against the Wei army, and naturally the majority of the prisoners were captured by the Wei army. Hu Zhi, the governor of Jingzhou, died in the battle, and two generals under Sima Yi were captured. The losses of the Wei army were heavy. As for him himself, his sister was captured by the Wei army.
Ba took it away and now he even wants one
The status of his first wife has become out of reach. Whether it is for the happiness of his sister or the interests of Wei State, he must use all his strength to make this matter bigger. If Zhuge Liang can be disgraced, Shu State will be ruined.
Of course, it would be better to make a mess.
Of course, the most practical thing at hand is to let his sister Xia Houhui gain a foothold in the Wei family first, and his target falls on these prisoners of the Wei army. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, novels are better
