Despite Zhao Tong's proof, Wei Ba still couldn't believe that the middle-aged man in front of him, who was like a farmer, was a famous general in history, Deng Ai.
Deng Ai is not actually forty years old. He is 36 years old today. However, he has been exposed to wind and sun for many years, and looks older than his peers. He looks like he is 45 or 46 years old. His hands and feet are thick, and he is really thick.
With his hands and feet in hand, he was standing on the beach. Although he was wearing shoes, his posture was still the same as working in the field. His legs were slightly apart, as stable as pine.
He followed Zhao Tong to Xuwen because of the battle that just ended.
Deng Ai is a new savage from Nanyang, but he lost his father when he was very young. Later, he wandered around with his mother. Finally, he fell into the Xiangcheng area and became a military farmer, who rented the country's land and paid half of it.
Even more harvests are given to the country's military farmer. He is an outsider and has no family background. Although he has read books and read literacy, he has never been promoted because of his stuttering.
When Zhao Tong and Lu Xun and others besieged Kunyang, Deng Ai accompanied Yan Gang, the general of the Diannong Zhonglang, to support Kunyang, but was defeated by Zhao Tong's cavalry. Deng Ai was captured in the chaos and later heard that Shu Han wanted to
When he was splitting in Nanyang, he returned to Xinye with his mother. By chance, he met Wei Feng and heard that he was the Deng family in Nanyang. Wei Feng became interested. After asking, he realized that they were really
Something related.
Wei Feng knew that Wei Ba's mother Deng was from the Deng family in Nanyang, but was just a small family. Deng Ai and Wei Ba's mother Deng's son, in other words, he was Deng's distant nephew. He and
Deng Zhi is also of the same ethnic group, but his relationship is a little further apart.
So Wei Feng entrusted them to Zhao Tong and asked him to take Deng Ai and his son to Linyuan first, and then to Xiangguan. Deng was very happy to see Deng Ai, so she kept Deng Ai's mother.
Being companion by your side, let Deng Ai come to Xuwen with Zhao Tong. Deng’s original intention was to think that his son is now promising, and arranging an errand in distant nephew was not a trivial matter. Since Wei Feng was unwilling to help this, Wei
The tyrant can definitely help.
She didn't expect that Wei Feng did not keep Deng Ai behind him, but sent him to Wei Ba. It was not because he was unwilling to help, but because he heard Deng from Deng Ai's stuttering words
Ai's ability was so he deliberately brought Zhao Tong to Wei Ba.
Wei Ba was very moved. He didn't expect that Deng Ai, a famous general who destroyed Shu Han, was still a minor official who looked at rice fields. He didn't expect that one of the most famous generals in the post-Three Kingdoms era would be his distant relative of his matriarchy, and he didn't expect that
A famous general looks so down-and-out.
But then again, no one who has been practicing the earth for twenty years will be able to be handsome and elegant. Those are adjectives that only those with wealth and leisure can use.
Whether a person can achieve success depends on opportunities. Why are talents from aristocratic families emerging? On the one hand, they monopolize education, and on the other hand, they monopolize the opportunity to make a name for themselves through their disciples and old officials. You have the ability to be strong.
, If no one gives you a chance, you will never be able to make a breakthrough.
Gold will always shine, provided you have the opportunity to stand on the table.
Deng Ai is the most obvious example. In history, if he hadn't met Sima Yi, he would have to look at the rice fields for the rest of his life. This time, if he hadn't met Wei Feng by chance, he might have returned to his hometown and be at peace.
farming.
Now that we have met Wei Ba, the situation is completely different, and his glory will begin here.
Wei Ba was used to seeing celebrities, but he did not lose his composure and quickly returned to peace.
"What are you interested in?" Wei Ba asked: "Tele troops or military farms?"
Zhao Tong was stunned for a moment. He didn't care much about Deng Ai and always regarded him as a relative of Wei Ba's mother. He had never communicated with Deng Ai along the way. He only knew that Deng Ai was a farmer. Now Wei Ba wants to give Deng
Ai Zuoguan, it might be good to ask him to be responsible for the military farming. What's the matter with leading troops? Such a person can't even say something clearly. Can he lead troops? When did Wei Ba become nepotist?
"Soldiers... it's not okay to have no food." Deng Ai said calmly: "If you want to run a large army, you must first cultivate the fields."
Wei Ba said with a slight head and pondered for a moment: "Okay, you can stay here first. When Jin Dongliu comes, I will arrange for you to go to Guiyang to lead troops to farm."
Deng Ai was very happy and quickly responded. Wei Ba asked him to take him to rest. When Deng Ai walked away, Zhao Tong said in confusion: "Ziyu, is it too hasty? Guiyang borders Wu, it is very dangerous.
.”
Wei Ba smiled. He knew what Zhao Tong was worried about. He shook his head: "Senior brother, this man is a piece of uncensored jade, absolutely a late bloomer. As long as I remove the stone wrapped around him, he will be an exquisite piece of
Meiyu. Senior Brother, if you have to hurry up, he will put pressure on you."
Zhao Tong glanced at Wei Ba suspiciously and did not argue anymore. He believed that Wei Ba would not misjudgment. Besides, this was Wei Ba's decision. He just reminded him, there was no need to twist it.
"Ziyu, I'm here this time, and I'll give Fei Wenwei a message. Do you still plan to fulfill the promise to Wu State?"
Wei Ba smiled and said, "I didn't agree to the King of Wu. The Prime Minister and General who promised him were the Prime Minister and the General. If they want to fulfill their promises, they should fulfill them. It's not my turn to make the decision." He walked towards the beach.
Zhao Tong hurriedly followed. "The stone bullet workshop in Guanzhong was the first to build, and it is the largest. Although the stone bullet workshop in Xiangyang and Fangling is smaller, it has a complete set of technology. No matter which one of them wants to fulfill their promise,
There is no obstacle. They don’t let go, there is no reason to let me be a good person, right?"
Zhao Tong understood, smiled, and did not ask again.
"Senior brother, I have something I want to discuss with you."
When Zhao Tongyi heard this, he quickly smiled and said, "Ziyu, if you have anything to do, just say it, why be so polite?"
"You should know that although there is no war between the Three Kingdoms now, it is only temporary. It won't take long to make the war again." Wei Ba turned around and looked at Zhao Tong. The sea breeze blew, and the waves rolled up, turning them.
The sound blew in the wind, and only they could hear what the other party was saying. "Our goal is nothing else, just the Wu Kingdom. Do you want to stay here or change a place without seeing or being upset?"
As soon as Wei Ba spoke, Zhao Tong understood. He said without hesitation: "Where do you think I'm more suitable?"
"I lack a reliable person in Chengdu." Wei Ba also said bluntly: "I hope you can go back to Chengdu and control some of the imperial guards, and don't let Li Yan and Ma Su be too proud. You are the Hu Benlang, who has prestige among the Hu Ben.
, If you can go back to become the General of the Hu Ben, I will be most relieved."
"Yes, when will you leave?"
"There's no hurry to do this, just be prepared. I want to talk slowly with Li Yan and the others. If I'm anxious, I'll be passive."
"Okay." Zhao Tong let out a sigh and laughed: "So, can I spend a few comfortable days here?"
Wei Ba smiled and said, "That's not OK. You have to listen to what you should say, you have to say what you should say, you have to say, you can't see the flaws. Besides, although you have gone back this time, no one can guarantee it.
When will you need to go back to the front line again? So you still need to know more about the relevant situation. You can also explain it clearly when your colleagues in Chengdu ask about it later."
...
As the attendees arrived one after another, Wei Ba began a round-route meeting. Even with the assistance of Liao Li, Zhang Biao and others outside, and Xiahou Hui, Peng Xiaoyu and others inside, these things still made him dizzy and swell.
, exhausted. At most, he worked for ten hours in a row. If Guan Feng had not driven everyone out with a face and forced him to take a rest, it would have been longer.
Wei Ba first experienced the busyness of the leader and also knew why there were more foolish monarchs in history than wise monarchs. To be a wise monarch, it would be impossible without a good figure and superhuman willpower. There are too many things to ask him to make a decision.
What is more tiring than government affairs is endlessly trying to understand people's hearts. Every word everyone says may have hidden secrets. If you neglect, you may have problems and then you will jump into the pit at any time.
Wei Ba knew that he had boarded the pirate ship and could no longer stop. He pushed Li Yan to the front desk and asked him to sing a stage drama with Zhuge Liang. This was far from the end, but just the beginning. Zhuge Liang and Li Yan were not fools.
, he would not understand his intentions, but they are fighting hard now and have no time to deal with him. When the battle between them is settled, he will be the next target.
He doesn't have much time, and if he can't make himself strong so strong that no one dares to act rashly before they decide the outcome, his fate will be ugly.
Wei Ba is very clear about this. It cannot be said that power struggle is not important, but in history, no one has ever survived by relying solely on power struggle. If you want to live a prosperous life and live a comfortable life, you will rely on strength in the end. In absolute strength
In the face of gaps, the role of power struggle can play is very limited. Treating power struggle as capital to settle down will only bring shame to yourself in the end.
As an Illuminati technical mate, Wei Ba deeply believes in this.
He carried out economic reforms when the conditions were not yet fully ripe because he knew that time was too late and he could not tolerate him following the steps. He could only choose what he could do first, try his best to seize the time and strengthen his strength.
He also had this confidence. Although he did not control the origin of war horses like Zhuge Liang and could not form a powerful cavalry, he knew his advantages. Although there were many mountains in Hunan and Lingnan and not as rich as the Central Plains, the potential here was
The weather is huge and hot. As long as it is developed successfully, the army's food use problem will be solved soon. With sufficient food, it can fight a protracted war. If there is another powerful navy and rely on the Yangtze River, he can at least
Protect yourself and will not be destroyed by iron hooves in a short time.
Food and warships naturally became the projects he wanted to develop first, and using the numerous treasures of Jiaozhou to hollow out the enemy's wallets and destroy the enemy's economic foundation is also an effective soft knife and a powerful killer.
We should build ships and train troops on one hand, prepare for military wars, and develop industry and commerce on the other hand, prepare for economic wars. We should have both hands and be strong both hands.
