The bright moon floated onto the sea and shone on the brand new ship deck.
Fa Miao, Yang Xi and others sat around the mat, and there was a huge ice basin in front of them, soaking in the ice basin with fine wine and various fruits. They were all wearing cotton clothes, and the sea breeze blew away the heat of the day.
The world is cool.
But their mood was not cool at all, but on the contrary, they were a little anxious.
In order to support the Prime Minister's expedition to Bingzhou, they have been arguing for nearly an hour, and no one can convince anyone.
Fa Miao disapproves of support, and the reason is very simple. Zhuge Liang went to the expedition in this situation and he was not prepared at all. Everything is planned, and if it is not prepared, it is a waste. If it is not prepared enough, it is fundamentally wrong.
Now, the situation in Shu Han is dominant, so there is no need to take such a risk. If you have two or three years of rest, your chances of victory will be greater.
Yang Xi did not agree. He felt that Zhuge Liang's preparation might not be sufficient, but the opportunity was good. After the Wei State lost consecutively, the morale was low and people were in panic. Wu State was shocked by the war not long ago and was tempted by the Jianghuai Land.
, wholeheartedly attacking Wei State can support the army led by the Prime Minister very well. If we wait for another two or three years, Wei State may have breathed a sigh of relief, and Wu State may have realized the threat of Shu Han's dominance to him.
At that time, maybe they will change their minds again. Therefore, they will attack Bingzhou in one go, take the lead in completing the task of dividing the world, and then sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight and wait for an opportunity to enter Jizhou. This is a great way to unify the world.
This is a great opportunity to fulfill the last emperor's wishes. As General Zhennan of Shu Han, Wei Ba must be active. What's more, General Zhenxi is also in the army. If he does not fully support him, he will not only be unfaithful, but also unfilial.
Some of the others supported Fa Miao, some supported Yang Xi, and some did not support one, and they could not argue.
Fa Miao was a little annoyed. He thought Yang Xi was too angry and talked about justice. He didn't know that the war was dangerous. But he could not blame Yang Xi in person, after all, Yang Xi had the upper hand in morality. He could not trap Wei Bayu's unfaithfulness.
An embarrassing situation of unfilial piety.
Wei Ba himself did not attend the meeting. There may be this reason. If he is not present, he will avoid the possibility of facing this dilemma and being forced to make decisions.
The meeting finally came to a conclusion. Fa Miao and Yang Xi looked at each other and decided to give private advice. They all believed that they would definitely convince Wei Ba and let Wei Ba adopt his suggestions.
However, after Wei Ba listened to their opinions, he did not say anything. He just expressed his gratitude and said that he would consider it again, so he asked them to go back and rest. Fa Miao and Yang Xi were a little confused, but he didn't have much to say.
I had to retreat first.
When they left, Peng Xiaoyu got up and closed the door, walked to the front of the desk with a whale oil candle, and looked at Wei Ba: "Husband, is that all right?"
"Of course, it's so late, what else can I think if I don't sleep." Wei Ba yawned and stretched. "Sleep and see how stable the ship is and whether it can go out to sea in the future."
Peng Xiaoyu smiled with a pursed lips, took off her coat, and took Wei Ba's coat. "Do you really want to go out to sea?"
"Sooner or later, there will be such a day." Wei Ba straightened his legs and patted his knees and calves. He forgot to take care of Chen Zhi, but the cases arranged by Chen Ji on the boat were common low cases and low cases. For him
For those who have just gotten used to sitting on high-legged tables and chairs, it is very uncomfortable to kneel down again.
"That's the future, you'd better solve the current situation first." Peng Xiaoyu walked over, hugged Wei Ba's legs in her arms, and slowly kneaded them, just like she had done it for Wei Ba just now.
She was the same as a maid. She was twenty-one years old this year. She was no longer a thin flower bud, but a blooming flower with a breast enlarged waist, long legs and buttocks. She followed Wei Ba outside for many years, and her face was a little dark, but instead
I covered up the already faded blue spot. If I didn't look closely, I really couldn't see the blue spot that had once made Wei Ba deterred.
"There's nothing in front of you." Wei Ba laughed, shook his feet in Peng Xiaoyu's arms, stirring the pair of mature peaches, and suddenly the waves surged. Peng Xiaoyu blushed and patted Wei gently.
Ba: "Don't move around, I'll serve you later. You'd better tell me how to deal with the Prime Minister's call."
"Why should I listen to his recruitment?" Wei Ba smiled and said, "I, General Zhennan, are not under the jurisdiction of the Prime Minister's Office. Now I want to mobilize me, there are only two people: one is His Majesty and the other is the General. General Li is the General.
Without showing your attitude, keeping silent, I will stay silent."
"What should I do if the Prime Minister's official documents come?"
"Official documents?" Wei Ba sneered: "If he had been from the official documents, I would directly transfer them to General Li. He was overpowering. I believe General Li would not sit idly by. Of course, I believe that the Prime Minister would not do anything either.
You will be so stupid, and you will be able to give someone a handle."
Peng Xiaoyu thought about it and couldn't help but smile and shook her head: "This is true. With the Prime Minister's caution, this should be a private message, or even his handwritten letter. At most, this is just a suggestion, not an order. Since it is not an order, then
Needless to pay attention. But what if it was my father’s letter?"
"It's too late to go." Wei Ba smiled: "My father is in Yumen, and he goes there, from half a month to half a month to slow down. Then he sent the letter to Jiaozhou. It's already September and October.
I believe that the Prime Minister will send troops after the autumn harvest, so that he can only collect grain once, and when the food from Jiaozhou is delivered, he will just take over the second grain transport."
"Yes, the Prime Minister likes to count everything to the extreme."
"It's a pity that he can't grasp the overall situation now, and doing things like this will only backfire." Wei Ba took back his legs, pulled Peng Xiaoyu over, and hugged her in his arms. "I don't have to worry, just drag him for a month,
This time he will end in vain. Although the Prime Minister was cautious, he was an optimistic romantic. Both Northern Expeditions were far from his original plan. This time, he did not attract a lesson and designed another
The wishful short-term combat plan is really stubborn."
"Maybe it's not that you are stubborn, but that you are forced to do so." Peng Xiaoyu chuckled, held Wei Ba's hand moving, raised her face, and looked at Wei Ba: "Husband, have you ever thought about it, Prime Minister
How is his body now?"
Wei Ba raised his eyebrows and felt aroused in his heart. "You mean... the Prime Minister knew he would be in the near future, so he wanted to attack and create opportunities for Jiang Wei?"
Peng Xiaoyu nodded.
Wei Ba sat up again. He knew that Zhuge Liang fell ill, but this happened two or three months ago. Zhuge Liang's illness was not a terminal illness, it was just a tiring one. Cobbie's defeat made him angry.
It can be cured, and even fall ill. This disease can be recovered quickly as long as it takes a good rest. Zhuge Liang is only in his early fifties this year and has no hidden diseases. As long as he can let go of his heart and recuperate, recovery is not difficult. So when he heard that Zhuge Liang
To go to war, Wei Ba subconsciously believed that Zhuge Liang's illness had been cured.
He never thought that Zhuge Liang's illness would aggravate this possibility. Although he knew that Zhuge Liang's life span was not long in history, the current history has changed after all. God knows whether Zhuge Liang will change his temperament and no longer devote himself to his work. From various signs
From the perspective of this, Zhuge Liang is not a person who can't understand the past, he is very good at learning.
If the situation is as Peng Xiaoyu thought, the Shu Han court would be facing a reshuffle, and this expedition may be a lead. It would not be enough to limit your attention to the battlefield.
Wei Ba pondered for a long time. "Write a letter to Yuanrong to find out our family's background."
Peng Xiaoyu responded and got up to get the pen and ink.
...
Two days later, Zhuge Liang's letter arrived. As Wei Ba guessed, it was not a document, but a private message. However, the person who sent the letter was unusual, and it was sent by Fei Yi himself.
Seeing Fei Yi, Wei Ba smiled, squeezed his eyes and said, "Fei Jun is so hard. Not only do he want to appease the King of Wu, but he also wants to pass on a message to the Prime Minister."
Fei Yi smiled bitterly: "There is no way, who made me the messenger responsible for contacting the King of Wu? This time the Prime Minister wants to send troops to conquer. Not only do you need your assistance, but also the King of Wu also needs troops to support him. He will not bother the two masters in one matter, so he will do it.
I did it by the way.”
Wei Ba did not point out Fei Yi's explanation. Zhuge Liang asked Fei Yi to deliver the letter, not just for convenience.
"Did Sun Quan agree?"
"Agree." Fei Yi nodded: "Whether you can send troops in time depends on whether your fire bombs can be supplied in time."
"Whether I can supply it in time depends on whether their money can be in time." Wei Ba said indifferently: "I am doing business, of course I have to be credited. When the deposit starts production, the final payment will be hand-picked."
"I'm afraid it depends on whether your production capacity is enough." Fei Yi said with a word in his words: "If the business is too big, even if the money comes, it may not be too late to supply the goods."
Wei Ba smiled and said, "These 300,000 pottery bullets cannot be supplied. How can I open the door to do business? Don't worry, let alone 300,000, even 3 million, I can supply them in time."
Fei Yi frowned: "Aren't you afraid that these fire bombs will fall on your father or brother one day?"
Wei Ba sneered: "The fire bomb can only shoot five or six hundred steps, and at most it can only take a thousand steps. My father and brother are not so stupid. They charge forward without the fire bomb counter-suppression, right? Could someone force them to do this?
?”
Fei Yi smiled awkwardly: "Of course I won't do this, but to carry out counter-suppression, there will be a large number of fire bombs. Who can afford it if your fire bomb is so expensive?"
"If you can't fight, don't fight." Wei Ba snorted: "If you know it's impossible, it sounds very heroic, but in fact it's very stupid. Besides, the current situation of our Han Dynasty is very good, and there is no worry about the destruction of the country.
Is it necessary to use human lives to consume the other party's fire bomb? Who is it and why, so he is so eager to seize the day?"
Fei Yi pondered for a long time, raised his head, looked at Wei Ba, and said earnestly: "Ziyu, the Prime Minister's health... is very bad."
