Luoyang Zhuge Liang camp

I don't know how long it took.

Zhuge Liang woke up slowly, vaguely saw a figure in front of the bed, and blurted out: "It's Youchang (Ma Tan Zi Youchang), help me up." ”

The people who came were shocked: "Prime Minister, the last will be Jiang Wei, why is the Prime Minister like this?" Horse..... Ma has been in the army for many years. ”

Zhuge Liang rubbed his eyes, and when he saw that it was Jiang Wei, he smiled slightly: "Don't be surprised, Boyo, I'm confused." ”

"Cheng is very fond of Ma joining the army, but it is a pity that he disobeyed the general's order and caused the street pavilion to be lost. But it's been many years, so please don't be sad. Jiang Wei said comfortingly.

Zhuge Liang shook his head and asked, "How does Boyo think that Wei Yan's sin today compares to the old days?" ”

"The prime minister is discerning and has his own judgment." Jiang Wei responded respectfully.

Zhuge Liang glanced at Jiang Wei and said: "Wei Yanqi is brave and good at fighting, and he is also the general relied on by the first emperor, and the pioneer of the Northern Expedition is the best. It's just that he has a haughty temperament, no one in his eyes, and he likes to take risks. In fact, the defeat and setback this time also taught him a lesson, and he should rein in it in the future, and understand that he can't blindly fight for the sake of the general. From this point of view, Wei Yan is indeed guilty of not death. Speaking of which, I have to thank you, if you hadn't been in a hurry and made your uncle Wu Yi intercede, our army would have almost lost a general. ”

"This ...... The prime minister praised it falsely. Jiang Wei was secretly shocked in his heart, he didn't see it for a while, but he could hear it and judge things, which was not clever.

Zhuge Liang reluctantly got up and leaned on the side of the bed, sighed for a long time, looked at Jiang Wei and said, "I have known Boyo for 6 years, and we have been teachers and friends for 6 years. There are some things that I have never had anyone to say, but the incident of Wei Yan a few days ago reminded me of my childhood, and I was very sad for a while, and today I can tell my heart to Boyo. In fact, for so many years, I have always regretted beheading Youchang, if there was a smart man like you in the army, Youchang might not have died....."

"Ma joined the army and failed the prime minister, and since the prime minister has been beheaded, why should he blame himself?" Jiang Wei asked puzzled.

Zhuge Liang looked up to the sky and sighed, and said sadly: "The world says that I am a child, but in fact, I am a child, and I have a bitter word in my heart."

He is a genius of the world, and he has won my heart, knowing that since our army entered Yizhou, it has always been a complex faction, including the old ministers of Jingxu, the relics of the first emperor, and the local scholars of Yizhou. The Yizhou faction seeks self-preservation and has no fighting spirit, and the Northern Expedition must rely on the old generals of Jing Xu. I often started in Jingzhou with me, I treat him like a parent and child on weekdays, and I have always hoped that he can make a difference, and he will become a pillar of the Han Dynasty one day. Young Chang knew Entu Bao, and he always wanted to maintain the banner of the Northern Expedition for me, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to go to the street guarding pavilion. I knew that Youchang had no experience in commanding troops, but for the sake of the public, I wanted to let the Wenchen of Jingzhou's main battle faction take over the military power, boost the morale of the Northern Expedition, and for my own selfish desire to let Youchang get ahead and become famous in the first battle, I actually agreed to this foolish request. But as the saying goes, a loving mother has many defeated children, and I love her children unscrupulously, which causes her to become arrogant, and under the pressure of public expectations, he becomes more rigid and self-serving, and behaves abnormally. I knew that he wanted to prove in his own way that he could be alone without my protection, and he could carry the banner of the Northern Expedition for me, so he was paranoid and disobeyed my instructions.

After Youchang lost the street pavilion, the three armies were furious, and in order to correct military discipline, and in order to calm the hearts of the people and appease the grievances of the factions, I had to pay the price for my wrong decision and beheaded Youchang with tears. Although I have strict orders, I am also an ordinary man, and I often cut off the young, like cutting flesh and bones, and cutting off liver and intestines. At that moment, I was really heartbroken, and I was full of remorse, recalling that the first emperor had said to me that Ma Jian should not be of great use, and I knew that his intention was to let me cultivate it step by step, and I must not help the seedlings grow. At that time, I knew that the emperor was clever, and I was not as good as that.

If it weren't for my doting on him, he wouldn't have become so blind and looked down on the enemy; If I hadn't been confused for a moment and sent him to guard the street pavilion under heavy pressure, he wouldn't have made such a big mistake. If I can let Yu Chang have more experience and go to the battlefield again, he will definitely become a pillar of our army in the future. All of this is because I don't know how to use people, and in the end, the Northern Expedition was fruitless, and I often resisted my life, which was really harmful to others and myself.

I can't say these words to people on weekdays, in order to maintain the great cause of the Northern Expedition, I have to let Youchang continue to bear the infamy, grit his teeth and continue to move forward. It's just that in the dead of night, I think of these and cry bitterly, wondering if the young spirit in heaven can forgive me? After thousands of years, how should people comment on the merits of right and wrong? ”

After hearing this, Jiang Wei was moved and said: "No one is a sage or a sage, Ma joins the army and knows the prime minister, and he will definitely be able to understand the prime minister's good intentions, everything is for the great cause of the Northern Expedition!" ”

Zhuge Liang coughed twice and sighed: "Alas, the great cause of the Northern Expedition, how many people really know the intentions?" The world says that I am the emperor of the past, and I am reckless in my military force and hit stones with eggs.

Indeed, I want to repay the kindness of the first emperor, but more importantly, it is for the people of the world. If the Han is really unsupportable, there is no benefit to the people of the world, and I, Zhuge Liang, will never be a person who abandons the world for the sake of personal fame.

I have been in the Han Dynasty for more than 400 years, although to the second emperor of Huan Ling, the government is corrupt, disasters are frequent, and the world is in turmoil, but the Han Dynasty has left a set of mature governance system and general ethics.

On the contrary, although Cao Wei has a wide land and many people, but he established the country with the power of the ministers, and the position was not right, Cao Pi also used the Nine Products Zhongzheng Law to ensure the interests of the scholars to gather his heart, although he succeeded in usurping the throne and becoming the emperor for a while, but after a long time, the imperial power must fall, and the scholars will rise. Cao Wei is not right, he often loses his way, there is no way of kings and ministers, the love of father and son, the righteousness of brothers, how can he ask his subordinates to be loyal, and father and son and brothers are harmonious? In the future, I am afraid that they will be the first to follow suit, or rebel against the lord and kill the king, or kill each other, so that the world will be in chaos again, and it is the common people who suffer.

However, the Eastern Wu established the country with martial arts, and had no grace, so he had to frequently reward and win over the meritorious generals, which made the Jiangnan Shi clan strong, and the hereditary soldiers of the military generals were private, so they had more than enough self-preservation, and the war was fruitless, and the Northern Expedition failed repeatedly. Moreover, the three generations of the Sun family have no intention of benefiting the people, and they only want to dominate the Central Plains. Sun Quan is the first rat villain, he has no morality, and with this person, the world is even more unpeaceful.

It is precisely because I saw through Wei Wu's wolf ambition that it was useless in the world, that I advocated to destroy it. Restoring the foundation of the Han Dynasty is the real way to benefit the country and the people. It's just that people in today's world can't see through the benefits and harms, and they don't know my heart. If the Northern Expedition is successful, it is naturally the best, even if it fails, after thousands of years, some people will comment! ”

After listening to this, Jiang Wei bowed again, knelt on the ground and said excitedly: "It turns out that the prime minister has such righteous intentions, and the prime minister is a masterpiece of all the world, and he will be praised for the country and the people wholeheartedly, and he will surely be praised through the ages." Jiang Wei is so fortunate to meet the prime minister, follow the left and right, and have no hatred in this life! ”

Zhuge Liang leaned over and pulled Jiang Wei up, clasped his hand tightly, and said with relief: "How fortunate I am to meet Boyo!" The great cause of the Northern Expedition may require the exhaustion of several generations, and I have been looking for a successor who can inherit my will. In my life, I have written 24 books, totaling 104,112 characters, including the eight affairs, the seven precepts, the six fears, and the five fears. I wanted to pass it on to Ma Yan, but unfortunately the middle way passed away. I thought there was no one to teach after Ma Tan, until I met Beryo! Boyo has both civil and military skills, excellent resourcefulness, and unparalleled loyalty, and is a rare handsome talent in our army. I am now imparting to you the "Twenty-four Chapters of the Art of War", and I hope you will devote yourself to studying it. After completing his studies, he made more annotations, circulated the three armies, taught the art of war, and gained benefits for the Northern Expedition. In this way, in time, Boyo will definitely become a pillar of the Han Dynasty! ”

When Jiang Wei heard this, he knelt on the ground again, and was grateful: "Jiang Wei was a small official, and he went astray, but thanks to the teachings of the prime minister, he was able to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. The prime minister never treated me with a general, but taught me personally, which benefited me a lot, just like seeing the sun through the clouds and rebuilding with grace. There is no day when I don't want to repay the prime minister with death, and now I have the prime minister's rumor, dare not do my best! must be smeared with liver and brain, vow to revive the Han Dynasty, and rest until death! ”

"Good~good~good." Zhuge Liang nodded movingly.
