In March of the 14th year of Jianxing, Chen Zhen rushed back to Chengdu for a long time.
He didn't even go home, and stepped into the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion with one foot.
"Thank you for your hard work." Zhuge Liang walked into the door, looked at Chen Zhen, and greeted him affectionately. Chen Zhen had no intention of responding. He bowed his hand and said impatiently: "Prime Minister, I think
Doing so will do more harm than good.”
Zhuge Liang looked at Chen Zhen in surprise. This was the first time he saw Chen Zhen lose his composure. It seemed that this sentence had been hovering in his stomach for a long time, so he couldn't wait to vomit as soon as he met.
"Don't worry, let me get up, let me tell you what you see first."
Chen Zhen responded and told his experiences over the past six months, especially focusing on the unknown navy of Wei Ba, and finally said: "At present, the power of Tianshi Dao has increased greatly, whether it is an official or a civilian.
There are many people who believe in the Tao of Heaven. However, the Tao of Heaven now seems to be different from the Tao of Heaven I knew before."
“What’s the difference?”
"There is more of the habit of empirical evidence." Chen Zhen pondered: "The Taoist Tao in the past also talked about some mysterious principles, but it still talked about them now, but pay more attention to verification of reasoning. It seems to be something unsurprising, but it is very debated.
Awesome, not only verbal debate, but also some empirical evidence."
Zhuge Liang was puzzled and didn't know what Chen Zhen was saying. Chen Zhen thought about it and asked Zhuge Liang a question: "Prime Minister, what do you think a thing falls from a high place has to do with the speed of speed?"
Zhuge Liang understood as soon as he heard it. This was a question with a clear Wei Ba style. It looked very simple, but after careful consideration, he found that it was not simple at all. He did not answer, but just looked at Chen Zhen.
"Some people think it's light and slow, but heavy and fast, right?"
Zhuge Liang nodded, he also thought so.
"Actually not right." Chen Zhen shook his head and talked about an iron ball experiment that was widely circulated in Jiaozhou. This experiment originated from a debate. Both sides were believers of Tianshidao. However, they could not argue, and finally built a 20-meter-high meter-high building.
After many tests, the wooden building finally came to a conclusion: the speed of the falling speed has nothing to do with the weight of the object, but with the air resistance.
Zhuge Liang was very surprised and was tranced by it for a moment.
"I want to remind the Prime Minister that this conclusion is not this conclusion. It is the academic style under the rule of Wei Ba. The families who moved from the Central Plains to Jiaozhou are still inheriting Confucian classics, but in addition to Confucian classics, many people have begun to pay attention to other studies. For example,
This is the knowledge of the Taoist Master, such as the knowledge of this experiment. The Prime Minister has to design such an experiment, which is not as simple as thinking about it.”
"What's so complicated about this? Just find two things of different importance and throw them together."
"Otherwise." Chen Zhen shook his head and smiled bitterly: "At the beginning, this experiment was indeed done, but after repeated debates, two iron balls of different sizes were selected. Does the Prime Minister know why?"
Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment: "The iron ball is heavy, so it is not easy to be moved by the wind?"
"Prime Minister is brilliant." Chen Zhen raised his thumbs up and sighed: "The Prime Minister is more than one step ahead compared to those people. But if I hadn't mentioned it, would the Prime Minister think of this experiment and the subtle differences here?"
Zhuge Liang's face gradually turned pale. He understood what Chen Zhen meant. Although those people were not as smart as him, countless people argued and repeatedly argued each other and achieved achievements that he could not achieve.
Perhaps there would be no more person as smart as Zhuge Liang under Wei Ba's rule, but when he directed the interests of a large number of scholars to these empirical knowledge, he might have dozens or even hundreds of people smarter than him.
This will also make more innovative inventions that he cannot accomplish alone.
Wei Ba himself is also very smart, but he is not satisfied with his intelligence. He makes people think more like him. And this method is to use the Heavenly Master Dao. When Tianshi Dao used Wei Ba to expand the scope of preaching, he didn't know.
Unconsciously, they were used by Wei Ba. The Tao they preached was not only the Tao of the Heavenly Master, but also the Tao of Wei Ba.
Now, Wei Ba is not just a god general, he is also equivalent to a spiritual leader, a heavenly master without the name of a heavenly master.
So, can a Zhuge Liang fight against thousands of people?
With this explanation, it seems natural that the rapid growth of strength under Wei Ba's rule.
"He took the Legal academic farming war to a new level." Zhuge Liang murmured: "Such talents cannot be used by the country, but instead become a hidden danger to the country. It is the dereliction of duty of me, the prime minister."
Chen Zhen sighed a long sigh and continued: "Wei Ba's strength is extraordinary. All he lacks now is a name. If he is granted the title of king, he will be incompetent and will inevitably lose control."
"If you don't give him a title, you won't lose control?" Zhuge Liang asked with a slutty smile: "Let him rest in this way only increase his strength faster. Instead of doing this, it's better to let him fight. On the battlefield, it can always be consumed
Some of the strengths may...there will be some unexpected changes."
Chen Zhen shook his head helplessly. Zhuge Liang had already begun to get into a stubborn position and hoped that the Battle of Pengcheng would happen again on the battlefield. He didn't think about it. Wei Ba suffered a loss once, but he would not learn any lessons. He would still
A second loss?
Chen Zhen didn't say anything else. He had already said everything he should say.
...
The emperor issued an edict, because the war was urgent, and the envoys ordered the general Wei Baniu and wine to be conquered and be responsible for the war in the East China Sea.
After the edict was issued, it was sent to Zhuya quickly.
Li Yan received the news and was indifferent. It took Chen Zhen five months to go to Zhuya. During this period, he had exchanged views with Wei Ba many times.
Li Yan had known for a long time that Wei Ba had eyeliners in Chengdu, and the eyeliners were not hidden, and they were even a bit ostentatious. The Wei family manor was still in Chengdu, and they could hear a lot of news and spread to Jiaozhou. Li Miao was the uncle of Peng Xiaoyu's brother and sister.
, it is also Wei Babu's eyeliner in Chengdu. In addition to these people, those who have family members in Chengdu under Wei Ba will of course keep in touch at all times.
But Li Yan couldn't expect that Wei Ba had a faster contact information. When Li Miao took only ten days to deliver Wei Ba's reply to him, Li Yan almost suspected that it was forged by Zhuge Liang. The reason is very simple, so short
Even if you use the fastest horse, you cannot pass the message to Wei Ba, let alone receive a reply.
However, Li Yan not only received Wei Ba's handwritten letters once, but Wei Ba's calligraphy is indeed very similar to Zhuge Liang's calligraphy, but he can tell it because there are some marks in it that only Wei Ba and him know.
Li Miao didn't know if the mark was just Li Miao.
Only then did Li Yan realize that the connection between Wei Ba and Chengdu was so close. In fact, the news from Chengdu would only take five days to reach Jiaozhou.
Being able to reveal this secret to him was naturally the result of Wei Ba's further deepening of his trust in him. Li Yan was also relieved when he was surprised.
Being able to be friends with Wei Ba is probably the most correct choice in his life.
Before Chen Zhen returned to Chengdu, Li Yan received a handwritten letter from Wei Ba. Wei Ba promised him that the alliance between them would remain unchanged. This time, Li Yan attacked Zhuge Liang, creating conditions for Wei Ba to come out again.
Wei Ba was grateful. If you give him a wooden peach, I will repay him with Qiong Yao. Jiaozhou will provide the money and grain to the court to the Guanzhong Army. In order to prevent Zhuge Liang from intercepting it, he will transport a considerable portion of it in the form of private trade.
In Guanzhong, I hope that Li Yan can make good use of it and make contributions. At that time, when one east and another west attack Cao Wei, he will also break Zhuge Liang's wishful thinking and let him suffer the consequences.
With Wei Ba's promise, Li Yan was relieved even though he couldn't feel completely relieved. He also knew that Wei Ba was so polite, not only because they were in an alliance, but because Wei Ba had insurmountable shortcomings at present.
:War Horse.
Wei Ba had to rely on him to provide war horses to maintain the scale of the cavalry, otherwise it would be difficult for Wei Ba to compete with the Wei army in land warfare. Of course, this advantage is not forever. When Wei Ba occupied Liaodong and had his own source of war horses, he
This advantage will slowly disappear.
What Li Yan had to do was to maximize the interests and strengthen his strength before this advantage disappeared. What he had to do now was to try to return to Guanzhong as soon as possible and take back military power from Wu Yi. And to return to Guanzhong,
Wei Ba needs to support him. Wei Ba wants to support him back to Guanzhong, of course, he cannot go through these shameful channels, but can only go through formal channels.
Therefore, Li Yan had to wait until the edict was delivered to Zhuya, and Wei Ba officially returned to the court and made his voice.
At this moment, Li Yan received a message that Dunhuang prefect Jiang Wei was in charge of the Qiang Guardian and moved to Jincheng.
Li Yan was furious. The Qiang Hunting School Captain is a military position, and the appointment and removal should be under the responsibility of the General's Mansion. Now, he, the general, has not received any news. Why did Jiang Wei also serve as the Qiang Hunting School Captain and moved from Dunhuang to Jincheng
It’s thousands of miles away from Jincheng and Dunhuang. Zhuge Liang did this to let Jiang Wei approach Guanzhong first and prepare for the capture of the troops.
Li Yan immediately went to see Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang was very calm. He told Li Yan that Jiang Wei's transfer this time was mainly from the Dunhuang prefect to the prefect of Jincheng. The Qiang lieutenant was only temporarily responsible, not a formal task, so he did not notify him.
General's Mansion.
Just as Li Yan was about to go on a tide, Zhuge Liang said that in fact, the transfer of Jiang Wei to Jincheng was to prepare for His Majesty's personal expedition. Jiang Wei's 10,000 cavalry will be under the jurisdiction of the general, and first transfer from Dunhuang to
Jincheng is to avoid attracting the attention of the Wei army.
Li Yan was stunned. He heard the implication of Zhuge Liang's words: "Your Majesty personally fights, who is the chief general?"
Zhuge Liang laughed silently, and his eyes swept back and forth on Li Yan's face: "Zheng Fang, who else is qualified to take on this important task except you, the general?"
