After breakfast, Wei Ba took Dunwu and others to the street. Yong'an was originally called Baidi City, which is the Baidi City that is famously said to be "among the colorful clouds of the White Emperor in Chao Ci". It was built by Gongsun Shu, who ruled Bashu in the late Western Han Dynasty.
. Later Gongsun Shu was destroyed, and Baidi City was destroyed. Later, it was repaired many times.
It never recovered its original appearance. In the second year of Zhangwu, Liu Bei was defeated by Lu Xun in Yiling. He returned to Chengdu shamelessly and settled in Baidi City. He changed its name to Yong'an and built Yong'an Palace in the west of the city. He spent his life here.
The last eight months of my life have probably been the most frustrating eight months of my life.
After Liu Bei's death, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, who rushed to Yong'an, returned to Chengdu to preside over the overall situation. The one who stayed in Yong'an was Li Yan, who was ordered to guard the city together with Zhuge Liang. According to Liu Bei's last order, Li Yan was responsible for the internal and external military affairs, and of course he had to guard the most important areas.
strategy
Important place. At that time, the biggest threat to the Shu Han was from Soochow, and Yong'an was the front line. It was no surprise that Li Yan was guarding this place. But Li Yan probably didn't expect that once this precedent was set, he, the Central Protector, would never have the chance to return.
Arrive at the court in Chengdu.
After Zhuge Liang came to power, the first thing he did was to restore the alliance with Soochow. Yong'an was no longer the front line, but Li Yan failed to return to Chengdu. He stayed in Yong'an for several years and watched Zhuge Liang's southern expedition first, and then the northern expedition.
.When Zhuge Liang went on the Northern Expedition, he thought he had a chance to return to Chengdu, but Zhuge Liang changed his mind.
He was a former general and was transferred to Jiangzhou as a reserve for the Northern Expedition. At that time, Li Yan knew that he had been tricked by Zhuge Liang, and the Central Protector was inexplicably gone. Not only could he, the top military leader, not be able to personally command the frontline operations, but he had become Zhuge Liang's subordinate.
Reserves, and also lost the Yongan base that had been in operation for several years.
Yong'an now has such a scale. Most of it is due to Li Yan, but Li Yan himself has no chance to enjoy it. As the western end fortress of the Three Gorges, merchants traveling between Wu and Shu will choose to stop in Yong'an before going down the river.
, to have enough energy to cope with the extremely dangerous Three Gorges. No one knows whether this trip to the Three Gorges will be the last time. And when you go upstream, after passing the Three Gorges, you will also choose to stop here to take a breath and calm down.
.Then continue westbound.
Yong'an became the largest military and commercial town at the eastern end of the Shu Han Dynasty.
Chen Dao's garrison was in the small town, but the market was not in the big city, but outside the city. If Wei Ba wanted to see the scenery of Baidi City, he had to leave the city. Chen Dao was a little worried. He arranged for a captain named Bai Jian to take fifty
A white body soldier protects Wei Ba.
Bai Jian didn't talk much. He was very incompetent as a tour guide. When he arrived at a certain place, he would only say blankly, "What is this? What is that?" Then he would pay careful attention to the surrounding environment and the cultural scenery.
He didn't know anything, let alone anything else. Fortunately, Wei Ba didn't want to be surrounded by a chatterbox. He came to the market not to buy anything, but to meet Guan Feng.
Things have changed, and he must report the news to Guan Feng in time.
In front of a wine shop, Wei Ba saw a well-worn horse and a familiar face. He calmly said to Bai Jian: "Captain Bai, I want to go have a drink, can we go together?"
Bai Jian smiled honestly and patted the bow on his back: "Young Master, you can go with ease, I'll just wait outside. There are too many people coming and going here, so don't be careless. If something happens, Governor Chen
You can’t spare me.”
Wei Ba didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He wondered where did this guy come from? He couldn't speak so much. What did you mean by "go with peace of mind"? I was going to drink with the beautiful woman, not to go to the execution ground. Also, aren't you worried about my safety?
, but Governor Chen can’t spare you?
Seeing Wei Ba's strange expression, Bai Jian also realized that what he said was inappropriate. His face turned red and he couldn't say a word. Wei Ba smiled and waved his hand magnanimously: "Okay, you just stay outside.
Come on, I'll come as soon as I go."
Wei Ba went upstairs and saw Guan Feng dressed as a man and sitting by the window. He walked over and sat down opposite him. Guan Feng glanced at him and whispered: "That guy is pretty good."
"What's good?" Wei Ba was puzzled.
"If you look at the hard bow on his back, you can tell that his archery skills must be good." Guan Feng glanced at Bai Jian downstairs and said unhurriedly: "His face is dark, he must have been there all year round.
A person who is active outdoors. When he walks, his feet are spread wider apart, and his body
He is leaning forward slightly and his knees are slightly bent. He should be used to walking on mountain roads. From the accent of his speech, it is basically certain that he is not a local, but a person from Fuling or even south of Fuling. From all aspects, this person should be an arrow.
A highly skilled hunter who joined the White Spirit Army based on his true abilities."
Wei Ba was stunned when he heard this. He had always thought that he was very observant, but compared with Guan Feng, he was simply weak. He could only see that Bai Jian was a bit capable, after all, he could be a captain in the Bai Jian Army.
He won't be a weak hand, but he definitely doesn't think as carefully as Guan Feng.
"Sister, it's a pity that you don't lead the troops."
"Aren't I here to lead the troops?" Guan Feng smiled proudly, then put away his smile and said seriously: "Why are you so anxious to see me?"
"The situation has changed, we have to enter Wu Realm."
Guan Feng's expression suddenly changed: "How come there is such a big change?"
"This is the prime minister's arrangement." Wei Ba told him what Fei Yi had told him, but he did not mention the map Han Zhenying brought. He looked at Guan Feng quietly and waited for a moment before asking.
: "Sister, do you think I can go?"
Guan Feng had calmed down. She curled her lips and said to herself: "It seems that the Prime Minister already knows about us."
Wei Ba frowned: "What can happen to us?"
Guan Feng was stunned for a moment, then gave Wei Ba a slap in the face: "Don't think blindly, I mean, we will join forces to help you."
Wei Ba breathed a sigh of relief and stroked his chest: "Let me tell you. This matter is certain. There are more than two hundred of you and so many war horses. How could you hide it from the Prime Minister's eyes and ears?"
"If this is the case, then we should have a big fight." Guan Feng smiled slightly, his eyes shining: "Even if this is a trap, we will rush forward and crush all his traps to see if he can
How about us."
Wei Ba was shocked. The reason why he didn't tell the information brought by Han Zhenying was because he wanted to see what countermeasures Guan Feng would take in this situation. Unexpectedly, this woman was not afraid at all and chose the easiest option without hesitation.
, the crudest method.
Are you blinded by hatred? Do you think such a dangerous thing is just a game? He couldn't help but remind him: "Sister, this is dangerous."
"Nonsense, don't I know the danger?" Guan Feng scolded angrily: "It is precisely because of the risk that we have to face the difficulty. Because the greater the risk, the greater the benefit. Think about it,
If it is done, can he trap him in the palace to study? Who else is qualified to guard that land except you? "
"Why don't I see any benefits?" Wei Ba said deliberately frustrated: "I only see dangers."
"That's because you are stupid." Guan Feng laughed silently: "Aren't you always worried about having no soldiers? As long as you control that place, in the blink of an eye, you can have thousands of elite infantry. I think back when the late emperor went to the east,
We should also invite those barbarians to help us."
Wei Ba also laughed. The reason why he changed his mind and agreed to carry out this dangerous mission was of course due to this consideration. If you want to be based on military force, you must have strong force. The Wei family has military soldiers, but
These soldiers cannot be his in the short term, and priority must be given to supplying the old soldiers.
His father Wei Yan and his brother Wei Feng could only give him a small part. If he wanted to develop rapidly and have his own armed forces instead of just relying on Guan, Zhang and others, he would have to go to those barbarian gathering areas to recruit troops. No matter it was
Soochow Wu or Shu Han, these are the best sources of elite soldiers.
"In that case, then sister, let's take the first step." Wei Ba muttered: "Don't go to Xiling, it's too dangerous. I have a map here. You can deploy according to the places I marked."
Wei Ba took out a copy of the map from his arms and pushed it in front of Guan Feng: "Sister, I have put my life in your hands."
Guan Feng took the map and stuffed it into his sleeve. After thinking about it, he suddenly said angrily: "You brat, you've even prepared the map, and you still want to ask my opinion?"
Wei Ba chuckled: "Because I know my sister will think so."
"How do you know?" Guan Feng said angrily: "You are not a worm in my stomach?"
Wei Ba pointed to his heart, then pointed to Guan Feng, and squeezed his eyes. "Although I'm not the worm in your stomach, we have a clear understanding of each other."
"What's the point of understanding?" Guan Feng frowned slightly: "Is it a poem or a poem? Why haven't I heard of it?"
"It's a poem!" Wei Ba thought for a while and chuckled: "I don't have the wings of a colorful phoenix, but I have a clear mind. Doesn't what I made sound good?"
"Did you do it?" Guan Feng looked at Wei Ba with suspicious eyes, took a sip of wine and put the glass on the table: "Then you say a few more words."
Wei Ba solemnly chanted: "Send me a hook of spring on every other seat to warm my heart, and shoot a shot of chrysanthemums on each Cao."
Guan Feng pondered for a moment, then sneered: "Your poetic style is quite grand. You can come in and out at all times of the year. One day it's spring, and another time it's autumn."
Wei Ba was speechless and covered his face with his wine glass. He seemed to have mistaken the wrong person for reciting poems to Guan Feng. Only Xia Houhui could understand the subtle meaning of such an elegant thing.
Guan Feng was reluctant and took another sip: "If you want to write these nonsense poems, why not spend some time to win over your soldiers? It's such a hot day and I don't know how to ask people to send some drinks to quench their thirst.
. Don’t you know that a grain of charcoal in the snow warms people’s hearts, but the icing on the cake no one can see?”
When Wei Ba heard this, he nodded repeatedly and asked someone to send some wine to the white men to quench their thirst. He also praised: "Sister, you are so thoughtful. Why didn't I think of it?"
"You are young and successful, how could you have thought of the suffering of these soldiers." Guan Feng looked at the guards downstairs and sighed faintly: "Although these people have not read any books, they may not know the righteousness of saints.
But they are much more conscientious than those scholars. At least, they will not praise you while harming you." (To be continued...)
