Strictly speaking, although Wei Ba was the farthest from Guanzhong, he was not the last person to learn that Zhuge Liang had left Chang'an.
The last one to know is His Majesty the Emperor and Comrade Liu Chan.
When he learned the news, Liu Chan was hiding a slingshot in his sleeve and preparing to sneak out of the palace. He went to hunt birds with Liu Li, but was stopped by Dong Yun. Dong Yun said that it should be time to study, Your Majesty
Where to go?
Dong Yun was right. According to Zhuge Liang's previous arrangement when he was in charge of Chengdu, this time should be the time to study. However, in the past few years Zhuge Liang left Chengdu, this system had long been destroyed. Li Yan didn't care about Liu Chan's reading at all, Liu Chan thought.
Play whatever you want. At the beginning, Liu Chan was a little worried, but later he let it go. Dong Yun and others were forced to retreat step by step by step by step by loss of their deterrence to Liu Chan. To be honest, Liu Chan has been doing it for a long time
Haven't touched the book.
Faced with Dong Yun's questioning, Liu Chan suddenly realized it, as if he was back when Zhuge Liang was still in Chengdu, and he subconsciously wanted to walk back. Huang Hao grabbed him and said with a smile that there is time to study, rest
It is also necessary to do so.
Faced with Huang Hao's provocation, Dong Yun also smiled sarcastically. Time is there, I am just worried that when the Prime Minister comes back, His Majesty's homework will be disappointed. Huang Hao said that the Prime Minister is in Guanzhong, waiting for him
Let’s talk about it when I come back. Dong Yun smiled. The Prime Minister is still half a day away from Chengdu. I am here to remind Your Majesty. Your Majesty, the Prime Minister has worked hard on his expedition. Are you going to welcome him?
It was not until this time that Liu Chan realized the seriousness of the matter. He looked at Dong Yun's smiling face that had been suppressed for a long time and knew that his happy time was over.
For the next half day, Liu Chan didn't know how he spent it. In a daze, he was neatly dressed and came to the northern suburbs of Chengdu to welcome Prime Minister Zhuge who returned from the expedition.
It was not only Liu Chan who was in a trance. Many people received the news temporarily and came out to greet him in a hurry. Many people were hesitant when they left the city, but when they saw the vast crowd, they immediately found the organization.
I feel that no matter whether I want to or not, I will follow. As for whether I am uneasy, only he himself knows that no one will be so stupid as to ask others.
On the surface, it seems that there are thousands of people everywhere. From His Majesty the Emperor to ordinary people, almost all came out to welcome the Prime Minister.
Seeing this scene, Li Yan's face was a little stiff. Although Zhuge Liang had left Chengdu for a few years, he still could not resist his popularity. Just look at the person who came to greet him and he was not so majestic when he returned to Chengdu.
, He had just sneaked into the city. In fact, he was indeed sneaking and came back while Zhuge Liang was preparing for the Northern Expedition in Guanzhong.
When Zhuge Liang was not in Chengdu, he was very powerful and thought he had already controlled the entire Chengdu and the entire Shu Han. Now that Zhuge Liang is back, he feels like he has been stripped naked and thrown into the snow.
A gust of wind came from Guanzhong, blowing him to his bones and make him feel cold.
Seeing Li Yan's face unnatural, Ma Su walked over from a distance, stood beside Li Yan, and coughed softly. "General, the reason why the Prime Minister kept his schedule confidential was to win with wonders. Those officials were just following the crowd.
That's all, it doesn't necessarily mean that he really supports the Prime Minister. The General is also standing here. Does that mean that the General is willing to give in?"
Li Yan glanced at Ma Su and relaxed a little. I have to say that at this time, Ma Su could still calm down.
"You Chang, the Prime Minister wrote a letter asking Wei Ba to return to Chengdu to discuss the matter of sending troops to Liaodong. What do you think?"
Ma Su smiled slightly: "General, it's time now, why do you have to test me?"
Li Yan grinned, without saying anything, and maintained an unnatural smile on his face.
Two days ago, Zhuge Liang sent a memorial in advance, which was a reply to his previous question. Zhuge Liang said that Wei Ba's plan to send troops to Liaodong was desirable and unfeasible, and he could not draw conclusions in a hurry. In order to make things happen,
If it is done properly and thoroughly, it is best to let Wei Ba come back to participate in the court discussion, everyone discusses, figure out his specific arrangements, and then decide whether it is feasible.
Besides, Wei Ba served as General Zhennan for many years and should come back to report his duties to His Majesty as usual. Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, everyone gathered together to discuss and discuss it. It was not only about sending troops to Liaodong, but also about how to cooperate in the future.
. Judging from the wars in the past two years, the Han Dynasty's strength has increased, but it has not been so strong that it is invincible in the world. If we want to realize the last emperor's wishes as soon as possible and restore the Central Plains, we still need sincere cooperation.
Zhuge Liang's words were reasonable and Li Yan could not refuse. He felt that Zhuge Liang took the initiative to ask Wei Ba to return to Chengdu because he wanted to solve the problem at one time, not only solve him, Li Yan, but also solve Wei Ba. Zhuge Liang must have made a plan, otherwise
He would not be so confident and took the initiative to let Wei Ba return to the court. But he didn't know Zhuge Liang's plan, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt uneasy he felt. He suppressed Zhuge Liang's memorial and had not given a reply, but he knew very well that he could not suppress it.
It took too long for Zhuge Liang to ask about this when he arrived in Chengdu.
Taking advantage of this time, he asked Ma Su for advice. But looking at Ma Su's appearance, it seemed that he had expected it. On the one hand, Li Yan was a little more relaxed, and on the other hand, he was a little suspicious, and he didn't know where Ma Su knew
This news.
He just looked at Ma Su and waited for Ma Su's answer.
"General, the Prime Minister is just bluffing. If he really wants to make a break with Wei Ba, why wait until he is about to arrive in Chengdu before making a request? If he leaves Chang'an, he will give Wei Ba the text, even if Wei Ba cannot get there now.
When you arrive in Chengdu, it is time to go to Yong'an, right?"
Li Yan's heart moved: "Youchang means..."
"You can't show it to be able to show it to be unable, it's false and real, just pretending to be suspicious of the army." Ma Su waved his hand disapprovingly: "General, the Prime Minister uses his tricks, seems to be scheming, but in fact he is just lacking confidence. He can only be
Just do some superficial work in people's hearts. The general keeps his breath and does not be mobilized by him. When the clouds clear and the day comes, you will naturally understand everything."
Li Yan nodded silently, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Will you let Wei Ba come back?"
Ma Su said lightly: "Even if the Prime Minister doesn't want to, I'm afraid Wei Ba will come back, so it's not his style to avoid fighting."
Li Yan breathed a long sigh.
...
Sun Deng stood in the crowd, with Zhuge Ke and Gu Tan standing behind him. Zhuge Ke had been practicing on the battlefield for a long time, and his face became a little more heroic and a little casual. Gu Tan was a standard scholar, he
He is of medium figure, white-skinned, gentle and polite to talk about academics with the ugly middle-aged man Qiao Zhou around him.
Qiao Zhou was the first minister of Shu Han that Gu Tan met after he arrived in Chengdu. The reason why he was so fast was that Qiao Zhou was a nerd and had been reborn for a long time with Cai Yong, the Gu family owned by the Gu family. When he heard that Gu Tan arrived in Chengdu, he said that He came to ask for a meeting early the next morning and pestered Gu Tan to talk about the scriptures and discuss the ancients. He was happy with himself, regardless of Gu Tan's feelings at all.
At this moment, Qiao Zhou was pulling Gu Tan to talk about the "Authority" written by Cai Yong.
Gu Tan was very tired of this guy, but due to etiquette, he couldn't push him away, so he had to keep a polite smile and glanced at the ministers of Shu Han from time to time. Zhuge Liang suddenly returned to Chengdu, and the ministers came out to greet him. Emperor Liu Chan was out, and General Li Yan stood in the crowd, but did not show his proper leadership style. He was no different from ordinary ministers. It was obviously stunned by Zhuge Liang's move.
This alone made Gu Tan look down on Li Yan. However, Gu Tan did not relax his vigilance. Facts proved that Zhuge Liang was always in a passive situation in the face of the joint attack between Li Yan and Wei Ba. Since Li Yan had limited ability, He is not Zhuge Liang's opponent at all. Wei Ba, who has not appeared yet, must be a very difficult opponent, otherwise it would be impossible for them to defeat Zhuge Liang if they join forces.
In Gu Tan's opinion, Zhuge Liang's actions seemed very majestic and he suddenly gained the initiative. However, thinking about it on the other hand, this actually shows that Zhuge Liang has no chance of winning. He can only subdue before Wei Ba returns to Chengdu Li Yan strives for the advantage of starting the game. Of course, there is no problem tactical, but psychologically, he has already lost.
This made Gu Tan even more nervous, because the one who pressured Wu the most now is neither Li Yan nor Zhuge Liang, but Wei Ba. If Li Yan and Zhuge Liang fight each other and both sides suffer, Wei Ba will eventually become the dominant one, it will naturally be not for Wu. What good news?
"Jun Qiao, I'll be with you for a while." Gu Tan interrupted Qiao Zhou, smiled apologetically, walked to Sun Deng, and whispered a few words. Sun Deng stood on tiptoe, looked around, and shook his head.
Gu Tan looked at Zhuge Ke: "Brother Yuanxun, you should welcome the Prime Minister here on behalf of the prince. I will serve the prince and return to the royal residence first, and then go and invite Prime Minister Zhuge to see him."
Zhuge Ke curled his lips: "Zi Mo, Your Majesty the Emperor is here, why should the prince care about these things?"
"Otherwise." Gu Tan glanced at the emperor Liu Chan under the blue-capped car in the distance, and raised his lips slightly: "That is a puppet, how can the prince compare with him? Although Prime Minister Zhuge is the leader of all the ministers, he has no comparison. The crown prince of Wu is noble and the prince cannot surrender his own status. It is still time to correct the facts before they have formed."
Zhuge Ke shrugged without objection. Gu Tan quickly accompanied Sun Deng to leave the crowd, quietly got into the car, and returned to Chengdu City. As soon as they left, the Minister Guo Youzhi walked over quickly, rushed to the emperor's carriage, and bowed to the salute.
"Report to Your Majesty, the Prime Minister's carriage has arrived in front of the temple!"
Liu Chanteng stood up, and the fat on his face shook twice. He waved his sleeves in a panic and said stammeringly: "Hurry, hurry, go and welcome the Prime Minister."
Li Yan frowned, feeling something was wrong. Before he could react, Ma Su took two steps at once and rushed to Liu Chan, bowed to the ground, blocking his way.
"Your Majesty cannot. The king is respectful and humble. Even if your Majesty is grateful and respectful to the Prime Minister, the courtesy of the king and his subjects must not be disturbed."
