Ma Su stood up to say goodbye, and Wei Yan stood up, sent Ma Su outside the tent, and said goodbye. Wei Ba naturally took on the task of seeing off the guests and accompanied Ma Su and Zhuge Qiao to the outside of the camp.
Zhuge Qiao led the war horse and walked side by side with Wei Ba, praising: "The late emperor is really wise in understanding people. I think back then, he defied all opinions and appointed Mingzun as the prefect of Hanzhong, which caused an uproar. Your reputation was not enough, he
We also specially gathered together to pay homage to the general and test your father's strategy, and then we convinced the ministers. Looking at it today, this is really a foresight that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve."
Wei Ba said a few words modestly: "Brother Zhuge, thank you for your praise. In order to fulfill the late emperor's entrustment and live up to the late emperor's appreciation, my father was also cautious and walking on thin ice. Now that the prime minister is stationed in Hanzhong to preside over major affairs, the late emperor's last wish is expected to be realized, and he is even more happy.
Don’t win by yourself.”
Zhuge Qiao smiled slightly, glanced at Ma Di, who was smiling and silent next to him, and continued: "Your Majesty has a keen eye for knowing people, and your Majesty will tie a ring to reward you. Your Majesty and his ministers know each other, and it is a good story. It can be seen from your deeds that there has never been a shortage of talents in this world.
, what is missing is just the eyes to discover talents.”
He paused and then continued: "It is not enough to discover talents. You must also have enough determination and not be interfered by others before you can boldly recruit talents. Brother Wei, you brothers are all talents, but the last thing I
What matters most to you is you. The Prime Minister and Ma Canjun have been telling me that they want me to be closer to you. Today I came here specially. On the one hand, I want to hear your father's strategy. On the other hand, I want to see you and talk to you.
Make friends.”
Wei Ba pondered for a moment. After what happened to Cheng An, he has now gradually adapted to the way these people speak. No matter what words are spoken, you must not just look at them on the surface. You must go one or even two levels deep to discover the true meaning.
Meaning. Although he is not good at this, he must work hard in this direction, otherwise it will be difficult for him to deal with these people in the future. How can he communicate if he can't even understand the implication?
He thought carefully about Zhuge Qiao's words from beginning to end, and grasped two key points. One is to recognize talents, and the other is to use talents, and the key point is obviously to use talents. It is past that the late emperor promoted his father and entrusted him with important tasks.
Things, apart from being polite, don't have much meaning. If it is meaningful, it must be helpful to the current situation. And what is the current situation? Wei Ba's heart moved, and he thought of Ma Di who had been silent beside him, and suddenly
I understand. Zhuge Liang later sent Ma Su to guard the street pavilion, which was also promoted against the public. This matter has not happened yet, but these people do not make temporary decisions in doing things. They must have ideas now, but due to possible opposition from everyone,
So you need to make some preparations in advance.
Dad Wei Yan is one of the few important generals in the army, and he is from Jingxiang. If he supports Ma Di, then Zhuge Liang will have reasons and confidence to reuse Ma Di. Zhuge Qiao's words just now should mean this.
Wei Ba raised his head, glanced at Ma Su, and then at Zhuge Qiao. Zhuge Qiao had been watching his performance. Seeing his eyes like this, he slightly raised a knowing smile at the corner of his mouth. Wei Ba knew that he had guessed correctly, but
But he was not happy at all.
Ma Di is the reincarnation of Zhao Kuo, this guy...can't be used.
He pondered for a long time, then forced a smile and said: "Brother Zhuge is too modest. The Prime Minister is a wise man in the world, has the ability to recognize people, and is entrusted by the late emperor. If there are talents, how can he abandon them? As for me, I am just a man.
It's just a little cleverness. I really don't deserve the praise of the Prime Minister and Ma Canjun, so I will just take it as an encouragement to the younger generations. Ma Canjun, please give me more advice in the future."
Ma Su raised his thick eyebrows and said with a smile: "My dear nephew, you are too polite to say this. Your father is a famous general in our court, guarding one side. If you are by his side, there is nothing you can't learn. Why bother to come and take the exam for me?"
?" He paused for a moment, observed Wei Ba's expression, and then smiled: "I just heard from your father that you don't agree with his plan. I wonder if you can tell me your reasons?"
Wei Ba scratched his head in embarrassment, knowing that his father must have been too embarrassed just now, and told Ma Su everything that was said between father and son. Alas, don't you know that you can't have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others?
?If you trust people too much, you will die miserably.
"Actually, I don't agree with this plan because there are too many uncertain factors and the risk is too high. I don't understand other things, so I don't have any opinions." Wei Ba said a few words in an understatement, and then he said nothing.
Let's talk about it further. He went there halfway. He didn't know how much his father had told Ma Su, and he was afraid that he had missed it. Ma Su waited for a while, but when he saw that he refused to say anything more, he just thought he was being cautious. However, Wei Ba's
This judgment was consistent with his own. He couldn't say it directly in front of Wei Yan just now, but now that he heard Wei Yan's own son say the same thing, he couldn't help but smile to himself and gained a bit more confidence.
"Your opinion is very important." As they spoke, they had arrived outside the camp gate. Ma Di stopped and looked at Wei Ba solemnly: "If your father's plan can succeed, it will of course be a great thing.
However, when marching and fighting, it is common sense for military strategists to calculate defeat before calculating victory. Therefore, although your plan has great merits, it still needs to be carefully considered. This is why."
Wei Ba nodded and said: "Joining the army makes sense. So I have been thinking about how to help my father complete this plan."
Ma Su looked at Wei Ba in surprise and said nothing for a long time. He actually disagreed with Wei Yan's plan very much, but he couldn't embarrass Wei Yan in person, so he took advantage of Wei Ba's visit to see him off to reveal some of his opinions to Wei Ba.
, the meaning is nothing more than to give Wei Yan a breath of air through Wei Ba and make him mentally prepared. Because in his opinion, the prime minister will definitely not agree to this plan, and Wei Yan will definitely be poured cold water on it. With this
Be mentally prepared and you may not get so angry that you have an attack on the spot.
But Wei Ba said that he was thinking about helping Wei Yan improve this plan, which clearly meant that he also agreed with the plan, but felt that it was not perfect enough. Did he not understand what I meant, or was he deliberately pretending to be stupid and really supported this plan?
plan?
Ma Di was a little unsure for a moment. He didn't say anything, but just gave Zhuge Qiao a look. Zhuge Qiao understood and said with a smile: "Brother Wei also agrees with this plan?"
Just as Ma Su had guessed, Wei Ba had actually heard what Ma Su meant, but his views were not exactly the same as Ma Su's. In his view, this plan might be risky, but if it could be realized, the rewards would be small.
It will be very impressive. The occupation of Guanzhong by the Shu Han Dynasty is equivalent to Liu Bang's defeat of the Three Qin Dynasties and the foundation for the struggle for balance in the world. If Zhuge Liang follows the old path of leaving Qishan in history, no matter how well he fights, it is unlikely that he will win.
This is your only chance, if you lose it, you may never come back.
Therefore, he said that he should improve this plan instead of denying it.
"As Jun Jun said, you must think twice before marching and fighting. But by the same token, how can there be no risk in marching and fighting? It is probably only a myth that you can walk in a car and win every battle. In this case, what we should do is to find a way
Reduce risks and increase the possibility of success, rather than simply rejecting the plan. Joining the army, do you think this is true?"
Ma Di pondered for a moment while stroking his beard. His eyes flashed and he burst into laughter. He reached out and patted Wei Ba on the shoulder: "Good boy, your Majesty made a mistake. I don't think you are timid at all. On the contrary, you are young and mature. Listen to you."
These words are not like those of a young man who has not yet lost his crown. He has thought further than our elders. The Prime Minister still has a vision. He said that you are a talent. I still didn't believe it, but now I believe it. The Prime Minister really does
Very human."
Wei Ba was embarrassed by his praise and shook his head repeatedly.
Ma Su turned to Zhuge Qiao and said: "Bosong, the Prime Minister really loves you. You see, I have found such a good partner for you. If you can get along with such a young and talented person day and night, your future benefits will definitely be great. Uncle
Pine, you should cherish it."
Zhuge Qiao smiled and said: "Just so, I will definitely come and hang out with Brother Wei from now on. Please don't find me annoying, Brother Wei."
"How dare you? How dare you." Wei Ba knew clearly that these two people were being polite, but he still felt that he couldn't bear it. They said a few more polite words, Ma Di and Zhuge Qiao got on their horses, and waved goodbye to Wei Ba.
Wei Ba stood at the camp gate and waited until their figures disappeared into the distance before turning back to the camp. He noticed that the soldiers on duty at the camp gate looked at him obviously differently. What happened in the past, he
He had no impression, but he was still clear about the events of the past few days. He went out for a run every morning, and the soldiers looked at him with pity and appreciation in their eyes. They all looked at the weak with the attitude of a strong man looking at the weak. But it was different now. He
There was respect and fear in their eyes.
Why? Is it just because Ma Di praised me a few words? Wei Ba shook his head and smiled lightly. Although he didn't agree with the opinions of these soldiers, he was still a little bit proud to be praised by Ma Di in person, even though he knew that these words were
Mostly polite, not sincere. When he returned to the tent, his father had already gone to train. He had no chance to report to his father, so he had to sit down and read the documents, continue his daily homework, and help his father.
I will process some words, and then read the official documents I have received, hoping to savor the current situation from those official documents.
Official documents, whether they are before, now or in the future, are just like history. They will only write about some facts, but not much about the various contests after the facts. Even these facts may not be all the truth, they are just what the people in power want to say.
You see. From this point of view, it makes sense not to write history in the contemporary era. Only future generations who no longer have taboos about the current situation and can fully refer to official archives can further understand the truth at that time.
Sort it out and record it relatively comprehensively and fairly.
Therefore, if you don’t have a pair of discerning eyes when reading official documents, you won’t be able to see much of the truth. Wei Yan has always refused to explain to Wei Ba the real reason for Guan Yu’s defeat, but asked him to read the official documents. It’s not that he didn’t dare to tell, but
It is hoped that Wei Ba can develop this ability to see the essence through phenomena. Wei Yan himself did not read much, and his eldest son Wei Feng was also very similar to him. Wei Wu was obviously a martial artist. If he wanted to make progress in literary affairs, he
I can only place my hope on Wei Ba.————Please support, recommend, and collect!
