About five hundred years ago, there was a young hero in the West who ascended the throne at the age of 20 and became the king of a small country called Macedonia... He first defeated the Persian Empire several times more than he had, saved the fate of the kingdom, and then passed
After more than ten years of battle, a great empire spanning thousands of miles was established.
His name is Alexander.
...
A thousand years ago, around the time of the Shang Dynasty, a small country called Rome appeared in the West. Its territory was very small, with only one city, similar to a city-state of the Shang Dynasty. After hundreds of years and dozens of generations
The development of human beings was around the corner of Zhaoxuan, my Han Dynasty. It changed from a small city to a powerful empire, and turned a sea into its own inland sea.
That sea is the sea that Gan Ying saw.
That empire is the Qin Dynasty that we Han people have heard of.
...
More than a hundred years after Alexander, around the time when Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms, when the Roman Empire was dominating the world, a hero appeared in another small Western country. In order to avenge the national humiliation, he vowed to be enemies of the powerful Roman Empire since childhood.
At the age of thirty, he led an army of 100,000 to cross the mountains and invaded the Roman Empire. After several years, he fought thousands of miles. The powerful Roman Empire could only strengthen its walls and clear its fields and trap the lonely city.

Wei Ba is not a liberal arts student, and he has only a little understanding of these history. Many of the contents were collected after he arrived in Jiaozhou. They are not systematic and there are many details that are not accurate, but his purpose was successfully completed.
When he picked up a glass of water and drank it all, and concluded with a comfortable sigh, the deck was silent, but the expressions on everyone's faces were very rich.
In front of these elites, Wei Ba opened a window for them, and everyone could find something that they were interested in.
Confucian scholars such as Qiao Zhou found that they had read so many books and were still very ignorant, and they knew nothing about such a world. Gentlemen were ashamed of ignorance, and ignorance was the most unacceptable humiliation. They always thought that the Han Dynasty was the world.
Now I know that the Han Dynasty is just a part of the world. At best, it can only be said to be a relatively important part, or even the most important part. In addition to the Han Dynasty, there is another span of a thousand years, and the founding time is almost similar to that of the Zhou Dynasty.
, the great empire that has lasted to this day, and before this empire, there were several great empires beyond imagination, which can even be traced back to the legendary era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
Zhao Yun, Wei Yan and other warriors were amazed by the expeditions of Alexander, Hannibal and others. Compared with their journey, what are these wars in the Han territory? As Wei Ba said, only Chen Tang and Gan Yanshou were in the Western Regions.
The war is barely comparable. Chen Tang killed Zhidu in the Western Regions, leaving behind the bold words of "A man who violates the strong will be punished even if he is far away", which made future generations admire him. How heroes like Alexander should be so heroic
cloud?
Liu Chan was surprised and a little ashamed. Wei Ba said from the beginning, I want to tell a story of a Western hero who is about the same age as His Majesty. After he heard this story, he was ashamed. Alexander ascended the throne at the age of 20.
, After thirteen years of reign, I established a great empire with thousands of miles of territory. As for me, I only know how to mess around in Chengdu, and I don’t know the world outside, let alone fight in person. Compared with that Alexander, I am the one
It's a scumbag.
Zhuge Ke and Gu Tan took a look and sighed at the same time. Their purpose of coming to Chengdu is not only to assist Sun Deng, but also to compete with this famous general who emerged from nowhere, but now it seems that there is no need.
Leave. They have never heard of what Wei Ba said. Their vision is only in Jiangdong, but Wei Ba's vision is the world. The vision of both sides is not at the same level at all.
Zhuge Dan was shocked and secretly thanked that his choice was not wrong. He had been with Wei Ba for so long, but he always felt that Wei Ba was different, but he didn't know what was different. Now he knew, why Wei Ba was different
, because he stands higher and sees farther. He is condescending and has a high perspective. Only by being unstoppable, he can move forward, be unexpected and cannot do anything to others. Following such people to fight the world, fame and wealth, what is the point?
It's natural.
Everyone has their own thoughts, but no one doubts the authenticity of Wei Ba, because Wei Ba said at the beginning, you can go to Hu City to inquire, ask if those Hu people are true, or go out to sea to travel, I can fund
All costs. If he lies, would he dare to say that? Even if going out to sea is more troublesome, it is not difficult to go to Hu City to inquire.
Everyone was shocked. Without any preparation, Wei Ba pushed a brand new world before them. They all thought that what Wei Ba wanted to say was the world they understood, that is, how to fight the Central Plains in the north and restore the Han Dynasty.
None of them expected that the world in Wei Ba's heart was so vast that it was not something that the great man could cover.
Zhuge Liang pondered silently. What he felt most deeply about now was not the stories Wei Ba told, but the beauty of the new table and chairs. With the tall backrests leaning against him, he felt much more comfortable. After sitting for so long, he still
He could hold on. He thought more about Wei Ba’s story, but at this moment, he could not say it.
Li Yan's eyes flashed, he looked at the faces of those people and observed Wei Ba's expression. Wei Ba said so much, was he trying to show that his ambition was not within the territory of the Han Dynasty? Yes, it seems that this is true.
His strength is not the infantry, but the navy. Now he has the most powerful navy in the world. No one can compete with him. He can not care about the territory of the Han Dynasty. He can go abroad and open up his own empire. But what about me?
Where else can I go besides going to Guanzhong? He doesn’t care about the territory of the Han Dynasty, but I only have this space.
What is Wei Ba trying to do? He wants to stay out of the matter and avoid continuing conflicts with Zhuge Liang? Does he want me to face Zhuge Liang alone?
Zhuge Zhan lay on the railing, looked at Wei Ba on the deck below, and murmured: "Mother, he has such a big ambition."
Huang Yueying touched Zhuge Zhan's head and pondered silently. She looked at Zhuge Liang sitting with her back facing her, but what she noticed was Zhuge Liang leaning on the back of the chair, holding his hands tightly on the armrest, and she realized that
Zhuge Liang was tired. If he hadn't leaned against the back of the chair, he might have collapsed on the ground.
Huang Yueying gave Zhuge Jun a wink. Zhuge Jun, as the captain of Changshui, was naturally qualified to attend such a meeting. Like Huang Yueying, he was most concerned about Zhuge Liang's body. Although he stood in the distance, he used it from time to time.
His eyes kept in touch with Huang Yueying. After receiving Huang Yueying's hint, he immediately walked to Zhuge Liang, leaned down, and asked softly: "Brother, please rest for a while?"
Only then did Liu Chan notice that Zhuge Liang's face was not very good, and he quickly said, "Father Xiang, please take a rest first."
"No, the old minister is fine, the old minister..." Zhuge Liang waved his hand weakly. He really couldn't hold on, but he couldn't leave. Because the next discussion was very important, he wanted to find out Wei Ba's real intention.
Wei Ba walked over, looked at Zhuge Liang's face, and smiled: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister hasn't heard enough, so he can't bear to leave. It's okay, as long as your Majesty doesn't mind, I'll ask someone to carry a recliner and let the Prime Minister lie down and listen.
Yes."
Liu Chan praised him repeatedly. Wei Ba asked someone to lift the recliner he often used over. Zhao Yun and Wei Yan lifted Zhuge Liang up from left and right. After laying down and relaxing, Zhuge Liang sighed with relief.
"Ziyu, thank you."
Wei Ba smiled slightly: "Prime Minister, you're welcome. No matter how you say it, you are a senior, respecting the elderly and loving the young, I still understand."
Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly, speechless. Wei Ba was used to speaking with thorns and never forgot to stimulate him. Wei Ba said this, respecting the elderly is fake, and accusing him of not loving the young enough is true.
Li Yan couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Wei Ziyu, you respect the elderly, and the Prime Minister loves the young. If the Prime Minister had not advocated that you would enter Wuling, would you achieve what you are today? The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid with a spring of water, you can't
Forget your roots.”
Wei Ba bowed and bowed: "Thank you for your advice, I am repaying the Prime Minister. Do you think there is something wrong with me? Please point it out, I can correct it."
Li Yan stroked his beard and said Yangqiu, "I think it's useless. It depends on how the Prime Minister feels it. It's like drinking water like a fish, you know the cold and warmth. If the Prime Minister doesn't like it, no matter how good you do, it's useless.
Sometimes, this person really depends on whether he or she is in love or not. For example…”
"Zhengfang, don't bewitch Ziyu anymore. I don't know what kind of person he is? How can he not know what kind of person I am?"
Li Yan laughed: "This is a matter between you, I don't know much anyway. However, Prime Minister, I want me to say that although Ziyu's temper is a little straightforward, he is indeed a talented person. Every word and action is quite insightful.
Ah. Like the two previous memorials, everyone has now been circulated. Today's high arguments will probably soon become beautiful. I wonder if the Prime Minister agrees?"
Zhuge Liang smiled weakly, was silent for a moment, and said again: "Ziyu has a giant ship that can roam the sea and expand the border of our Han Dynasty to a very distant place. The most important part is that the younger generations are so proud that you cannot fall behind. The Western Regions have not yet settled, and the Qiang chaos has been rioted.
Wei Jing, are you not interested in re-engaging in battle and showing your strength? Fight with Zi Yu one land, one sea, one west and one east?"
Li Yan's face turned cold. Zhuge Liang's words were so cruel that he asked him to go to the Western Regions. This was to drive him away from Guanzhong and take on Wei Yan's previous tasks. I am a dignified general, and I will take over Wei Yan's mission.
, and still compete with Wei Yan's son for the best?
"Prime Minister, I am willing, but I am powerless. If I don't accept my old age, I won't argue with Ziyu, so as not to humiliate myself. However, I think your disciple Jiang Wei has the opportunity to compete with him, and if I don't change my mind, I don't think I can do anything.
Jiang Wei is the chief minister of the Western Regions, so he will follow the steps of the squad and then take over the Western Regions?"
Wei Ba smiled and looked at Zhuge Liang and Li Yan, fighting openly and secretly. National affairs, national affairs, the emperor watched from the side, but the result might be between the words of the two of them. Li Yan wanted to go to Guanzhong, so he wanted to do it.
Jiang Wei drove him away, and there was no possibility of easing between him and Zhuge Liang. They fought hard, so they had the opportunity to make profits. No matter whether the battle in Liaodong could be completed, at least he would not be the target of public criticism at the moment, and the benefits he deserved were not the same.
There will be fewer, at most it may be a bit troublesome to be named by the king.
However, compared with actual interests, it is not important to be king or not. When you make a fortune in silence, when you become stronger, it is not a matter of one word.
"General, Prime Minister, this matter cannot be explained clearly in just one sentence or two sentences. Why don't we take a break for a while and drink some pure natural coconut sweat from Jiaozhou to quench our thirst, and then talk about it, okay?"
Zhuge Liang couldn't ask for it. He was now powerless and was indeed in a state of no mood to argue with Li Yan.
“So very good.”
Li Yan looked at Wei Ba deeply, and nodded with a slight smile: "Okay, try the strange things from Jiaozhou and open your eyes."
Wei Ba laughed: "General, you are very knowledgeable and have never seen anything. How can I catch your eye with such a novelty? Come on, just let it go, quench your thirst first and rest for a while.
I will discuss the world situation with you and see how to deploy the war."
Li Yan understood it and smiled with a smile on his face.
