In the court battle, Li Yan almost defeated Zhuge Liang and his confidants alone, and achieved unexpected but reasonable victory... The matter of the imperial commander in person was postponed indefinitely, and he reconsidered this.
Plan to conduct feasible surname arguments.
It seems that Zhuge Liang was defeated, but Zhuge Liang didn't think so.
His purpose is not to go to the war immediately, but to summon Li Yan, Wei Ba, Lu Xun and others to Chengdu. Now, except for Wei Ba, before he arrived, Li Yan and Lu Xun have arrived in Chengdu, and his purpose has been
Half completed.
In fact, the moment Li Yan left Guanzhong, he won.
Now, on the eastern front, Ma Zhong and Bu Zhi joined forces to rebuild the defense line; on the middle front, Zhuge Xun took over Lu Xun's army and was winning people's hearts step by step; in Guanzhong, Wu Yi naturally accepted Li Yan's military power, and almost no intention, just put it
Li Feng, the agent appointed by Li Yan, squeezed aside.
No matter how fierce Li Yan jumps, what can he do?
If Wei Ba also arrived in Chengdu, it would be perfect.
Of course, Zhuge Liang was not without losses. In the court, Dong Yun was caught by Li Yan and was charged with spreading rumors and maliciously slandering General Wei Ba of Cheqi, and was exempted from Guanglu Xun, who had just received a short time ago.
He was forced to think about his mistakes behind closed doors. Guangluxun was appointed by Zhao Tong, who returned from Wu County. In this way, Zhao Tong not only took back the rights of the General of the Hu Ben, but also jumped into the ranks of the Nine Ministers, which was a blessing in disguise.
In fact, this is also Zhuge Liang's comfort to the Zhao family father and son. As the last symbol of the Yuan Cong Clan, although Zhuge Liang could not fully control Zhao Yun's intentions, at least Zhao Yun did not fully rely on Wei Ba like Li Yan, and was a middle force that could be won.
The Prime Minister's Mansion is full of people.
Zhuge Liang sat on the chairman, stroked his beard, pondering without saying a word.
Deputy Prime Minister Yang Yi sat aside, Jiang Wan, Zhang Yi, Dong Jue, Guo Youzhi and others sat aside, and Dong Yun, who had just been dismissed, was listed. Although he lost the position of Jiuqing in the court, he was
The status of the Prime Minister's Office has not declined but increased. In the court, if he had not taken the initiative to stand up and challenge Li Yan, Zhuge Liang would have faced Li Yan's direct attack. Judging from Li Yan's momentum this time, he was prepared.
Come on, if Dong Yun hadn't been a scapegoat, Zhuge Liang would have been caught off guard.
They gathered together to discuss how to take the next step. It is far from enough to transfer Li Yan, Lu Xun and others from the front line. If you want Ma Zhong, Zhuge Ke and Wu Yi to truly control the military power and put all the military power
To concentrate in the hands of the Prime Minister's Mansion, there is still a real war. Only in the battle can those unwilling to obey can they truly exclude the dissidents who refuse to obey.
The battlefield has never been a place to fight against the enemy, but also one of the positions for powerful officials and political enemies to fight.
They have been discussing for a long time and are now facing a big problem, which is the question raised by Li Yan: Is there enough money and food to support this war? Who will command it beforehand, if there is not enough money and food supply, go to the battle
It's just a joke. Zhuge Liang actually only needs a local war, but he must borrow the name of unifying the world, so he must prepare for unifying the world.
This is also considered a self-destruction.
Now, Li Yan asked the Prime Minister's Office to issue a practical plan to prove that financial savings can afford this war. If it were normal, Zhuge Liang would not care about this matter. After all, although Li Yan was smart and capable, he was in the accounting department.
The Shang is not a match between him and Yang Yi, so it is not impossible for them to do this account like that. However, now this question is not a problem, but has become a real problem.
After Li Yan returned to Chengdu, he immediately visited Liao Li, who was unemployed at home. Liao Li was once the deputy prime minister and knew very well about the many abilities of Shu Han. If Li Yan asked him to review this plan, the person who had escaped the pass might be surnamed.
Almost zero.
What's more, Ma Su, a great sect, who was also skilled in money and grain, was eyeing him.
Zhuge Liang did not dare to take it lightly, so he had to go into battle himself. Looking at the people in front of him, Zhuge Liang suddenly felt a little sad. He was not worried about Li Yan now. What he was worried about was Wei Ba who was still hiding in Zhuya and Liao Li and Ma Su from Chengdu.
Among individuals, two were originally the Prime Minister's Office and his subordinates. One of them was his right-hand man, but now they have become his strongest opponents.
If Ma Su and Wei Ba were sitting beside him, could Li Yan still be so arrogant? No, it is impossible.
Zhuge Liang knew very well that the people here were all talents compared to ordinary people, but compared with talents like Ma Su, Wei Ba, and Liao Li, they were just mediocre people and could only do some small things and real big ideas.
He has to take it himself. The so-called discussion can only be formal, and with the talents of these people, there is no feasible solution at all.
It was a very big challenge for his body to do his job. Even if he was ready to devote himself to his work, he was still a little nervous.
What was Wei Ba thinking? Zhuge Liang couldn't help but think. Is he unwilling to come to Chengdu because he was afraid or unwilling to face him? Zhuge Liang knew very well that Li Yan, Liao Li, or Ma Su were not the final opponents
, Without Wei Ba's support, the three of them would not have stood together at all.
Perhaps the most direct way to convince Wei Ba was. Zhuge Liang twisted his beard and his eyes wandered.
"Prime Minister?" Chen Zhen, the guard sitting aside, obviously felt that Zhuge Liang was absent-minded, and quickly reminded him softly.
Zhuge Liang was shocked, his hands shook, and his two beards were pulled off, causing him to twitch involuntarily.
"Come on filial piety?" Zhuge Liang turned to Chen Zhen, saw the worry in Chen Zhen's eyes, and quickly shook his head calmly: "I'm fine, maybe I'm a little tired."
Chen Zhen understood and gave Yang Yi a look: "Mr. Wei, you should take the lead in discussing and drafting a plan first."
Yang Yi nodded and agreed naturally. He was the deputy prime minister. In addition to Zhuge Liang, he was the backbone of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Of course, he should take the initiative to shoulder this burden. According to his opinion, if Zhuge Liang is in poor health, don't be so worried.
How good it would be to leave this matter to him.
Yang Yi asked to leave, and everyone also said goodbye. Zhuge Liang kept Chen Zhen, invited him into the study room, and said, "I was just thinking about what I wanted to do if Wei Ba retreated Deng Ai, Zhou Yin and others into the East China Sea.
What."
Chen Zhen sighed secretly. So many people were discussing the issue here, but Zhuge Liang was distracted and cared about what Wei Ba was thinking. It can be seen that what he was really worried about was Wei Ba. Wei Ba dug a pit and put on his horse.
Zhong Yidao asked Zhuge Liang a problem by the way, and also safely retreated more than 10,000 infantrymen to the sea and gathered the dispersed forces again. This move was indeed beautiful.
Now, there are nearly 20,000 troops in the East China Sea. Relying on its technological advantages on warships, it has occupied several islands, which is also a force that cannot be ignored. From a positive perspective, Wei Ba may have the intention to sail overseas. His fief is
Zhuya Island, Xiahou Xuan, and Sun Shao have just conquered Yizhou, and it is said to be a big island; in the Bohai Sea, Wei Ba has several big islands. His eyes have been on overseas, and it is not difficult to sail to sea. But from the bad
From a perspective, Wei Ba's unofficial intention is already clear, and retreating to the sea is just a reserve method for failing to compete for the Central Plains.
Zhuge Liang asked Wei Ba what he wanted to do, and this was probably the same.
"Prime Minister, Wei Ba was frustrated in Pengcheng because of insufficient cavalry. Now he only has more than 2,000 cavalry left. Although he has added 5,000 war horses, the elite lost too much. In a short period of time, the cavalry could not recover their strength and could not be in the plains.
It should be understandable to compete with the Wei army and turn to the sea to point directly to Liaodong."
"What if there is another navy in addition to the three armies of the land war and he will command it?" Zhuge Liang pondered: "Can this be exchanged for his support?"
"What did the Prime Minister use to touch his heart?"
Zhuge Liang was silent for a while: "King Jue."
Chen Zhen was prepared, but when he heard these two words, he was still surprised and didn't say anything for a long time. Zhuge Liang was determined to safeguard the dignity of the emperor, and even the King of Wu was ready to get rid of it when it was appropriate.
If he actually took the initiative to give Wei Ba Wang Jue, it only means that he really had no choice but to compromise with Wei Ba.
The three armies can seize the commander, but every man cannot seize the ambition. Chen Zhen knew how confident and tough Zhuge Liang was. His initiative to make concessions only means that he no longer had confidence.
"Prime Minister, a king with a different surname, is contrary to the Han system."
"With the King of Wu in front, the King of Wei may follow one after another. What if there is another king?" Zhuge Liang sighed weakly, stretched out his hand to stroke his forehead, as if he was a little overwhelmed. "If we could get Wei Ba, we could get it.
Assisting and unifying the world, there will be no war ever since. It is not a solution to stop him from the title of king. Filial piety, I have read some "Book of Han", especially "The Book of Emperor Gaozu" and the list of princes, so
I have this idea, but I am still a little hesitant and want to ask you to discuss it."
Chen Zhen understood. He bowed and said, "The Prime Minister's thoughts are far-reaching, and it is beyond the reach of Zhen. If the Prime Minister does not abandon him, Zhen is willing to go to Zhuya in person."
Zhuge Liang sighed: "I am so filial to you."
Chen Zhen smiled and said nothing, and got up and left. Zhuge Liang personally took Chen Zhen to the door despite his physical fatigue. Chen Zhen did not refuse. After getting on the car, he bowed to Zhuge Liang three times in the car, and Zhuge Liang stood
He returned the gift under the car. Chen Zhen patted the driver's hand, and the carriage left.
Zhuge Liang stood outside the Prime Minister's Mansion and remained motionless for a long time.
The next day, the guard Chen Zhen wrote a letter to the emperor, willing to go to Zhuya in person to meet Wei Ba, the general of the chariot and cavalry, who was Ding You, and exchanged views on the emperor's conquest of the Central Plains with him. The emperor agreed, and Chen Zhen immediately set off and went to Zhu.
Cliff.
After receiving the news, Li Yan was unhappy, but he was a little uneasy.
