So far, Wei Ba has made two prophecies in a prophetic tone, but the tragedy is that he has not enjoyed the treatment that a prophet should enjoy, but has been despised. He said to his father, "Your Ziwu Valley"
When the plan would not be approved by the Prime Minister, his father replied: "You know nothing!" Now when he told Zhao Guang that Zhuge Liang would unite Jiangdong and instigate rebellion against Meng Da, Zhao Guang seemed to agree, but in fact he did not
It was very indifferent, as if Wei Ba was just telling a secret that everyone knew, and the reason why he didn't expose it was just out of politeness.
This made Wei Ba very aggrieved. They walked halfway up the mountain, but he still couldn't hold it back and said to Zhao Guang: "Brother, did you think that the Prime Minister would do this?"
Zhao Guang was stunned for a while. After a while, he understood what Wei Ba was referring to and couldn't help but laugh. He lowered his head and touched his nose: "Ziyu, don't forget, in the entire camp, there are always
In terms of military usage habits, the one who is most similar to the Prime Minister is undoubtedly my father. Isn’t it surprising that we can roughly guess what strategy he uses?"
Wei Ba looked at Zhao Guang suspiciously, trying to decide whether he was telling the truth or being polite.
"Okay, I'll explain it to you in detail, and you will know that this is not surprising at all." Zhao Guang took Wei Ba and sat down on a stone on the side of the road, broke off a branch, and drew a picture on the ground.
sketch.
Wei Ba is studying the art of war with Zhao Yun these days. Zhao Yun often takes out maps to explain. Wei Ba already knows the overall situation of the Three Kingdoms well. Although Zhao Guang's drawings are simple, he can still see clearly.
"Let's talk about Jiangdong first." Zhao Guang pointed to the location of Jiangdong with a tree branch, "The prime minister has been inclined to unite with Jiangdong since he assisted the late emperor. It was only because the late emperor was angry at the defeat of Guanhou and raised an army in anger that he broke up.
After the Prime Minister took charge, the first thing he did was to restore the alliance with Soochow. Therefore, if the Prime Minister wants to send troops to the Northern Expedition, it is inevitable to unite with Jiangdong."
Wei Ba nodded helplessly, and had to admit that this trick was not novel at all, and everyone could imagine it.
"As for Meng Da..." Zhao Guang chuckled, seeming a little disapproving: "You grew up in Hanzhong and don't know the situation in Chengdu. But we know everything. Meng Da surrendered to Cao Wei, but his family was in Chengdu.
There has been no interference. The year before last, when the prime minister came back from the southern expedition, he sent people to his home to express condolences. Do you know what this means? "
Wei Ba blinked: "Show favor to Meng Da?"
"Well, it should be said that he had the intention to rebel against Mengda from that time on. The three counties in the east are the gateway to Hanzhong, and they are in the hands of Cao Wei. They are like a knife hanging over Hanzhong's head. How can the prime minister just sit back and watch?"
Zhao Guang straightened up and sighed: "However, this move has advantages and disadvantages. It's hard to say what the final result will be."
Wei Ba didn't ask again immediately. He knew Zhao Guang's temper. If he wanted to talk, he wouldn't have to ask, Zhao Guang would tell him. If he didn't want to talk, if he asked, Zhao Guang wouldn't reveal a word. However, this is not the case.
It means that he can't figure it out himself. Zhao Guang said that there are advantages and disadvantages, and the advantages are obvious. Taking back Dongsan County means guarding the gateway of Hanzhong, and the advantages are self-evident.
What about the downside?
The biggest problem in taking back the three Dongjun counties should be Mengda. Mengda, like Fazheng, belongs to the Dongzhou clique. At that time, Fazheng was trusted by the late emperor Liu Bei and acted arrogantly. Even Zhuge Liang could only swallow his anger. The strength of the Dongzhou clique was far away.
Far more than the Jingxiang Clan, and only under the Yuancong Clan. With the deaths of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others, the Yuancong Clan declined rapidly, and Fa Zheng died early, Meng Da surrendered, and the strength of the Dongzhou Clan was greatly damaged. Now
Only Li Yan, who straddled the Dongzhou Clan and Jingxiang Clan, was left to barely support him. Only then did the Jingxiang Clan have a chance to dominate.
If Mengda returns with Dongsanjun, he will not leave Dongsanjun easily in a short period of time. In other words, Mengda will become a warlord with more than 4,000 clans, and the strength of the Dongzhou faction will skyrocket
, enough to compete with the Jingxiang Clan. You must know that although the Jingxiang Clan now has enough voice in the court, it does not match the military power. The most powerful one is the Wei family, which only has more than 3,000 families.
Meng Da's return will once again form a power struggle within the Shu Han Dynasty. Even if the Dongzhou clique cannot regain its former glory, it will be enough to restrain Zhuge Liang, who is based on the Jingxiang clique. Party struggle has always been an internal conflict with no bottom line.
, especially for Shu Han, party struggles are likely to exhaust the already limited resources and energy.
Therefore, for Zhuge Liang, instigating rebellion against Meng Da was a poisonous apple. Whether he ate it or not, it was a difficult problem.
After thinking about this, Wei Ba also became embarrassed for Zhuge Liang. He didn't know how to solve this problem if he were in Zhuge Liang's position. No matter which plan he took, he would be criticized. The Bashu clan, which was severely suppressed, was now
Waiting eagerly for him to make a mistake.
Even Wei Ba himself does not want the Dongzhou Clan to rise again. After all, he is also from Jingxiang and does not want to lose the vested interests in his hands.
Wei Ba and Zhao Guang looked at each other and smiled, but they were both forced smiles. After Zhao Yun's training for nearly half a year, Wei Ba had a certain grasp of the Zhao family's father and son's train of thought, but Zhao Guang knew from Wei Ba's wry smile that he generally understood it.
The key to this.
"What will the Prime Minister do?"
"I don't know, I can't guess." Zhao Guang shook his head, and seeing the contempt on Wei Ba's face, he quickly explained: "Don't look at me, I really can't guess. I've never been good at this kind of dilemma.
deal with."
"What about Master?"
"It's not like you don't know my father's character." Zhao Guang curled his lips: "His suggestions all seem right, but they are rarely adopted, so it's okay not to say anything."
Wei Ba shrugged. Zhao Guang's words seemed to be self-effacing, but in fact he was a little resentful. It was both a complaint against Zhao Yun and a complaint against the superior. If they hadn't already become brothers, they would have the righteousness of brothers.
, in this case it would be impossible for Zhao Guang to reveal anything to him.
Wei Ba didn't want to say anything against Zhao Yun behind his back, even in front of Zhao Guang. On the one hand, it was because he admired Zhao Yun, and on the other hand, Zhao Yun was almost seventy, and there was no reason to accuse him of lack of motivation. At such an age
You should be taking care of yourself at home, not fighting on the battlefield.
"Let's go." Wei Ba stood up with waning spirits. Thinking of these machinations, he felt a headache. Although the battle in the court was not like the flash of swords and shadows on the battlefield, it was actually no less dangerous than the battlefield.
…
While Wei Ba lamented the danger of the court on Yangping Mountain, a dispute broke out in Zhuge Liang's Chinese army tent. If Wei Ba saw this scene, he would definitely feel sad, but he would not feel any of the prophecy.
proud.
Zhuge Liang gathered his generals to discuss the strategy of the Northern Expedition. As the former military advisor of the Prime Minister's Office, General Wei Yan looked at Ma Su with hope, hoping to hear about Ziwu Valley from his mouth. It didn't matter even if his name was not mentioned.
As long as he could carry out this plan and raid Guanzhong, he would be satisfied. But as soon as Ma Su opened his mouth, he felt a little cold.
Ma Su said that the main force of the army would come out of Longyou.
Longyou? Wei Yanli's heart skipped a beat at that time. He remembered Wei Ba's three strategies of upper, middle and lower, and his expression changed a little. He couldn't be fooled by this brat. The prime minister won't take my best strategy either.
The middle strategy, but the cowardly one, right?
Wei Yan pricked up his ears and listened. When he heard that he would join forces with Sun Quan from Jiangdong to raise troops at the same time, and plan to rebel against Mengda, retake the three eastern counties, contain Sima Yi's troops in Wancheng, and create opportunities for troops to march out of Longyou,
His heart was completely cold and he couldn't help but stand up and interrupted Ma Su's words.
"Prime Minister, why don't you send troops out of Ziwu Valley and take Chang'an directly? Then guard Tongguan and capture Guanzhong?"
There was a sudden silence in the big tent, and everyone's eyes turned to Wei Yan. Zhuge Liang frowned slightly, and Ma Di looked at him and was about to speak. Zhuge Liang waved his hand, indicating that he would personally explain the problem to Wei Yan.
"Chang Wen, I have carefully considered your plan. It is indeed original and in line with the correct method of war. However, there are many variables in the army leaving Ziwu Valley, and the possibility of success is too low, so... I have given up for the time being and will wait.
When there is a suitable opportunity, it will not be too late to consider it again.”
Zhuge Liang didn't speak very fast, his words were clear, and while he was speaking, his eyes kept falling on Wei Yan's face. There was some anxiety hidden in the calmness, and there were even some requests. When Wei Yan saw it, his heart moved, and he wanted to calm down temporarily.
, I will talk to the Prime Minister in detail later, but when I think of Wei Ba once saying that this dispatch is the best opportunity, once lost, I will never find such a good opportunity again, I can't help but say loudly: "Prime Minister
, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Xiahou Mao has no military skills and is a mediocre person. This is a good opportunity for us to launch a surprise attack. The prime minister's troops are out of Longyou. When you attack Guanzhong, the main force of the Wei thieves' forbidden army will also arrive in Guanzhong.
When the two sides fight decisively in Chang'an, what chance will our army have? This is a truth that even children understand, Prime Minister..."
As soon as he saw Wei Yan stand up, Zhao Yun, the Zhendong general sitting next to him, knew that something was wrong. Wei Wen had a bad temper and might say something inappropriate. He was thinking about how to relieve the prime minister, but he didn't expect
Wei Yan was so quick to speak that he actually said such taboo words. Without any time to think about it, he immediately grabbed Wei Yan's elbow and said urgently: "Commander, please stop talking so freely!"
Zhuge Liang's face also became very ugly. He did not completely reject Wei Yan's plan, but said that the time had not come yet. This was already a great loss to Wei Yan. Unexpectedly, Wei Yan said in front of so many people that he was not even as good as a child.
If Zhao Yun hadn't interrupted in time, he wouldn't have known what ugly words he would have said.
Ma Su also darkened his face: "Chang Wen, if you have any ideas, let's talk about it and let's discuss it. Why should I say it rudely? It's my suggestion to reject your Ziwu Valley plan. Am I not even as good as a child?"
Wei Yan also came to his senses at this time, looked at Zhuge Liang who was silent, and bowed to apologize: "Prime Minister, I joined the army. I was quick to speak, and I did not mean to belittle joining the army. Please forgive me."
Seeing Wei Yan's apology, Zhuge Liang's expression softened a little. Just when he was about to speak, Yang Yi suddenly spoke in a nonchalant manner. "Ma Junjun, although you have great ideas, you will not be inferior to a child, but there are many geniuses in this world.
There are some children that you really cannot take lightly, such as General Wei’s beloved son, Wei Ba Wei Ziyu.”——————Please collect, recommend, and vote for Sanjiang!
