"Going to Dongsan County?" Wei Yan tugged at the short beard under his chin, with a bit of confusion in his eyes: "Zhuge Qiao?"
Wei Ba nodded, but did not say anything. He had already told his father how Zhuge Qiao came to see him, and also told him about his recommendation of Zhao Guang and Fu Xing, but he did not explain why. If he let his father
Knowing that he is now determined to confront Zhuge Cheng, God knows how my father will react.
Wei Yan didn't realize what his son was thinking at all. He was a little confused by Zhuge Liang's appointment.
If the three counties in the east are important, then a heavy general should be sent there. Zhuge Qiao has never fought at all, and he only has 5,000 men. What use can they do? Mengda alone in the three counties in the east has 4,000 men.
The Yu family and Meng Da have been fighting for nearly twenty years. How can Zhuge Qiao be able to deal with them?
If you say that Dongsan County is not important, it is even more unreasonable. Everyone knows that Dongsan County is the gateway to Hanzhong, and regaining Dongsan County is of immeasurable significance to the security of Hanzhong.
"The prime minister's arrangement is really unexpected." Wei Yan thought about it, but still couldn't figure it out, so he could only sigh half-truthfully.
Wei Ba curled his lips, and then regained his dignity. Although he didn't fully understand the purpose of Zhuge Liang's arrangement, he could vaguely guess that it was not entirely of military significance, but also mixed with a lot of political significance.
, Dad is excellent in the military, but unfortunately he is almost an idiot in politics, and he will definitely not think of that level.
It seems that this characteristic has existed throughout the ages. Most of those who excel in the military are idiots in politics. Although they are invincible on the battlefield, they are often defeated in the court. There are very few masters like Wang Jian.
"Although joining the army is not a high-ranking position, being able to work in the Prime Minister's House is in itself a cultivation by the Prime Minister. You should be careful when doing things, and don't make mistakes like before."
Since Wei Yan didn't understand it, he simply stopped thinking about it. He taught Wei Ba a serious lesson, which made Wei Ba dumbfounded. You know these principles, but why can't you do it yourself? Just like a Marxist flashlight, it shines on people.
Not for myself. But seeing his father, who was always majestic and stern, nagging like a bitch, Wei Ba felt warm in his heart, and ignored his father's dogmatism and nodded in agreement.
"Now that we're in the army, we don't need to take maids with us. Having a woman around... will hurt morale after all." Wei Zhan was doubtful for a moment, seeming to think that the little maid with a big blue spot didn't seem to have much to do with beauty, but she couldn't.
He still suggested that Wei Ba should leave Peng Xiaoyu behind, and let Dunwu and the others take care of the daily affairs in the future. In order to ensure Wei Ba's safety, Wei Yan personally selected 20 capable personal guards and handed them over to Dunwu, and also took special care of one of them.
Then I gave up.
"Dad, I want to take a trip back to the manor."
"What are you doing back at the manor? Are you homesick?"
"The expedition is about to begin. I want to go back and see my mother." Wei Ba smiled and said to Wei Feng: "Brother, do you have anything to say to my mother?"
Wei Feng touched his head and said with a simple smile: "I don't have anything to say, just help me ask her."
"Okay. I have something to ask brother for help." Wei Ba said: "During the period when I am not in the camp, Peng Xiaoyu will follow you and don't let others bully her."
Wei Yan looked at Wei Ba in surprise, and scolded dissatisfiedly: "How can a maid deserve such caution from you? Ziyu, I find that you are really careless now. A man should put his merits first, how can he care about women?
What’s more, she’s a maid.”
Wei Ba smiled and did not explain. He believed that his elder brother Wei Feng would take good care of Peng Xiaoyu for him. In fact, the three brothers were different from their father. The father had little contact with Peng Xiaoyu. In his eyes, Peng Xiaoyu was just a maid.
That's all. In the eyes of Wei Feng and Wei Wu, Peng Xiaoyu is still a poor woman, but in the eyes of Wei Ba, Peng Xiaoyu is half a counselor, how can she be as simple as a maid.
Back at his camp, Peng Xiaoyu had packed his luggage and put them aside neatly. Wei Ba told Peng Xiaoyu his arrangements, and Peng Xiaoyu looked at him quietly, saying nothing.
He just said hum, then lowered his head and fiddled with his belt.
"Okay, my eldest brother is actually easier to serve than me, so you are free now." Wei Ba smiled deliberately, "Maybe when I come back, you won't want to be my maid anymore."
Peng Xiaoyu said quietly: "Young Master Feng is a good person."
Wei Ba rolled his eyes and did not answer her words. He had received countless good person cards in his previous life, and of course he knew that the word "good person" had different meanings on different occasions. There may not be much emotion in Peng Xiaoyu's words.
, but she did point out Wei Feng's character weaknesses: he is loyal, but he doesn't know how to adapt. To put it more harshly, he doesn't even have the domineering attitude of his father.
…
The next day, the appointment certificate from the Prime Minister's Office was sent to the Wei family camp. Wei Ba was appointed as a military officer in the Prime Minister's Office. His full name is "Participate in the Prime Minister's Military Affairs". According to the unwritten grades, he is the seventh grade. He is better than his father who concurrently held the post.
The military advisor is two ranks lower than Yang Yi, Ma Di and others. Of course, this is only in terms of writing. In terms of qualifications, Wei Ba cannot compare with those people. Similarly, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, ranking is not purely based on rank.
Different people hold the same position, but the degree of power is completely different.
Wei Ba's specific task is to assist Zhuge Qiao and be responsible for the collection and transportation of grain and fodder for Zhuge Qiao's army. It is considered as logistical work. The work task is not heavy, and he does not need to lead troops to the front line, so the risk is low. This is also considering that he has no
The factor of actually leading troops. Wei Ba had already expected this, so it was not a surprise. He had been doing this with his father for the past six months, so he was quite familiar with it.
Compared with him, Zhao Guang and Fu Xing, who had experience in leading troops, took on more important tasks. Fu Xing originally had more than 200 troops, and this time Zhuge Liang allocated another 200 troops to him.
He became a real captain. Zhao Guang was also assigned a group of more than 200 people to be responsible for logistics and transportation, which was considered to be a work connection with Wei Ba.
Among the more than ten staff officers and captains led by Zhuge Qiao, eleven are the children of Jingxiang civil servants and generals. Except for Zhao Guang, there is only one non-Jingxiang person, Miwei. Miwei is the son of Mi Zhu, because Mi Fang
After surrendering to Jiangdong, Mi Zhu died in shame. The current head of the Mi family is Mi Wei. Although Mi Zhu has followed Liu Bei for many years and was promoted to General Anhan, he had no military exploits and was not granted a title, so Mi Wei did not have a title.
Inherited, now he is just an empty captain, with only a hundred or so old soldiers under his command, which looks very miserable.
Mi Wei was arranged to be Zhao Guang's deputy, and his status seemed to be similar to that of Wei Ba. But when he thought about Wei Ba's military position, Mi Wei was far behind. Even Zhao Guang, the captain who seemed to be the commander of the supply camp
Compared with Wei Ba, who joined the army without any troops, it was a bit lower.
The army sailed down the Mian River by boat, and its destination was Anyang County on the western border of Weixing County. Having a boat to travel made it easier for the soldiers, and the transportation of grain and grass was also more convenient. The commander-in-chief, Zhuge Qiao, was riding a medium-sized warship, and
It's not ostentatious, but in a fleet of mostly transport ships, no matter how unassuming it is, it's enough to make people feel that Zhuge Qiao is different.
After the fleet started to set off, Wei Ba boarded Zhuge Qiao's warship. Zhuge Qiao was going to gather his generals for the first time to discuss matters.
Wei Ba and Zhao Guang got on the boat and found that most of the others had already arrived. Fu Xing was sitting on the side of the door. When he saw Wei Ba coming in, he smiled and nodded and said hello. Wei Ba saw that there were still people around him.
There was an empty seat, and when he was about to go and take a seat, Fu Xing quickly shook his head and said, "How can you sit here? This is the seat reserved for Zhong De."
When Wei Ba was about to ask why, Zhuge Qiao laughed: "Ziyu, come here. Although you are in charge of food and grass matters, you are not the general of the transport camp. How can you sit there? Come and sit next to me."
Wei Ba rubbed his head in embarrassment. He had never been an official in his previous life. Although meetings in the company were divided into different positions, they were not as meticulous as in the officialdom. In this life, he had never participated in any decent meetings and had no chance to experience this.
This kind of officialdom culture showed timidity as soon as he appeared on the stage.
Wei Ba walked to Zhuge Qiao. Zhuge Qiao sat on the main seat facing the cabin door. There were two empty seats on the left and right. On the right hand side, sitting at the bottom, was the person Wei Ba didn't want to see the most: Yang.
Wei. Obviously, Yang Wei didn't want to see Wei Ba either. As soon as he saw Wei Ba come in, his eyes became fierce, and his thin face was clenched and hard because his teeth were clenched too tightly.
Hearing the sound of teeth grinding, Wei Ba frowned, not wanting to get too close to this enemy, so he turned around and walked to the position on Zhuge Qiao's right.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he made a move, Yang Wei laughed sadly: "I said, Wei Canjun, although you are talented, you are too conceited. Do you think you are the most noble person here except Captain Zhuge?"
, you actually want to sit down?"
Wei Ba was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that these days, there are not only differences in positions up and down, but also left and right. The position on the left side of the master is more respected than the position on the right side. This is what is meant by the so-called left and waiting. When Wen Dong went to court
Wuxi is also a sign that civil servants are superior to military ministers.
Wei Ba was a little embarrassed. He ignored Yang Wei's cynicism and just turned around and walked to the empty seat on Zhuge Qiao's right when a voice sounded outside the cabin door: "Wait a minute, please take a seat at Wei Canjun."——Second update, please recommend.
