Wei Ba made the girl in white speechless, giving her father a long face, but she didn't have to be proud for long. Wei Yan's face sank after he finished handling the government affairs and drove out the Yang Ling and his subordinates who had just been beaten to the point of blooming.

"What do you think of Guan Hou?"

As soon as Wei Ba saw Wei Yan's face, he knew that the real problem was coming. The matter of the Ma family is just a matter of face, Ma Chao is dead, Ma Dai is just a captain, with his father's temper, he will not take them in his eyes, and if he scolds, what else can he do. But Guan Yu's matter is not a trivial matter, he knows from Wei Wu's mouth that Wei Yan is not convinced by anyone, only admires Guan Yu, and admires him so much.

This probably can only be attributed to the likeness of nature. Wei Yan and Guan Yu have many similarities, they are brave and good at fighting, they are familiar with military strategy, they have read some books, but they look down on readers, especially their temper, Wei Yan is as confident as Guan Yu, and they are almost conceited, and they can almost be said to be unscrupulous. This can be seen from the fact that he didn't even care about Cao Wei's five good generals, and among the several generals of Shu Han, only Guan Yu was the one who could really enter his eyes. He yearns for Guan Yu's flooding of the Seventh Army, which shocked China and forced Cao Cao to almost move the capital. Over the years, he has been looking forward to the day when he can lead the Northern Expedition and restore the Central Plains like Guan Yu.

Wei Ba scolded Ma Chao for being a lost dog, which is not a problem at all, in Wei Yan's eyes, Ma Chao is a lost dog. But Wei Ba didn't think much of Guan Yu, Wei Yan couldn't accept it, and he was very angry.

Ma Chao's daughter looks like a female leopard when she is angry, and her momentum is compelling, but in front of Wei Yan, a real tiger, it is a small thing. As soon as Wei Ba saw Wei Yan's elongated face, his heart began to drum, and his calves trembled habitually, trembling even more than wearing two armors on his body. Wei Yan squinted at him, his fingers were slowly pinched, and once Wei Ba didn't deal with it properly, he would come up and flip it on the ground and smash it.

If Wei Ba was still the weak Wei Ba before, if Wei Ba hadn't reflected deeply on the hospital bed and decided to defeat himself and change his fate from now on, now he was only afraid of being frightened, let alone facing it calmly.

However, now that he is ready, he has just folded the Ma family, which has increased his confidence a lot, and he hopes to take this opportunity to remind his father Wei Yan not to follow in Guan Yu's footsteps. Master Xu said that people can be arrogant, but not arrogant. Proud people usually die miserably, Guan Yu is like this, if you don't change, it will be the same in the future.

Wei Ba stabilized his mind and slowly opened his mouth. "Father, I heard that when the ancestor looked at Prime Minister Zhuge in Longzhong, the prime minister once had a countermeasure to divide the world into three parts, can my father know?"

Wei Yan frowned, and was a little unhappy that Wei Ba didn't answer his question, but he mentioned Liu Bei's matter of taking care of the thatched house. However, seeing that Wei Ba looked calm and his tone was calm, not like a joke, he did not reprimand Wei Ba for the first time, and paused, before he said: "I occasionally heard the ancestor mention it back then, but it was only a few words, and my knowledge was limited. Where did you hear that? ”

"Father, don't ask me where I heard it first." Wei Ba doesn't want to get entangled in these details, and he will pull back and forth, maybe he will not say anything, and he will deviate from the topic. He directly interrupted Wei Yan's words, and then asked: "Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng's countermeasures are actually two key points, one is to cross the benefits of Jing and divide the world into three parts. The first is to send troops from two routes to restore the Central Plains. ”

Wei Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at Wei Ba with a straight look in his eyes. What he said just now was not a lie, he really only knew a little bit about this countermeasure, this was mentioned by Liu Bei and Fa Zheng when they were talking about the general trend of the world, and he didn't know the specific situation, but the two points that Wei Ba just said could indeed summarize all the meanings.

"The first lord entered Yizhou, and Guan Hou stayed in Jingzhou, not only shouldering the heavy responsibility of crossing Jingyi, but also serving as the important task of sending troops from two roads in the future. However, Guan Hou's army defeated Maicheng, not to mention his own death, and also surrendered Jingzhou to Eastern Wu, and crossed Jingyi became an empty word, and the two ways of sending troops became unreachable. With the current situation, if Shu wants to send troops, it can only go to Hanzhong, which is more difficult than Wanluo from Jingzhou, I don't know how many times more difficult. Guan Hou was defeated, almost ruining most of my Shu Han's life, can a person like this still be called a famous general? ”

Wei Yan snorted lightly: "You are a hero based on success or failure, don't you know that you are not invincible to be called a famous general, sometimes, there are many reasons for defeat, but it is not controlled by the general's instinct." Since you have read the Taishi Gongshu, don't you know that the overlord Xiang Yu said that it is the death of the sky, and it is not a crime of war. ”

Wei Ba was a little surprised, listening to his father's tone, could it be that there was something else hidden in it?

"Could it be that Guan Hou lost Jingzhou and went to Maicheng, it is not his fault, but the responsibility of others?"

"The defeat of Guan Hou has a lot of hidden secrets, and it is difficult to explain it in a word. When I return to Nanzheng, I will talk to you again when I have the opportunity. Wei Yan sighed, his expression a little lonely, "However, you can recognize the disadvantages of losing Jingzhou to our army, and you can be regarded as a little insightful." Listen to your brother, you have already guessed that the prime minister is about to enter the Northern Expedition in Hanzhong, so tell me what kind of strategy the prime minister will adopt for the Northern Expedition. ”

Wei Ba was also a little nervous, he knew how Zhuge Liang went on the Northern Expedition, but now this incident has not happened, it is a prediction, not a judgment of a fait accompli. If you guess correctly, of course there is no problem, but if you guess wrong, it will be troublesome, and the good impression that is easy to establish in Dad's heart will collapse.

"What's wrong? Dare to say Guan Hou, dare not say Prime Minister? Wei Yan laughed sneeringly.

Wei Ba took a deep breath and decided to take a gamble. He has just come to this shijie, and he has never been out of Hanzhong, so he should not have had such a big impact that he will change the direction of history. What's more, Zhuge Liang is not something that ordinary people can influence.

"With suspicious soldiers out of the valley, the main force out of Longxi."

"The suspicious soldiers are out of the valley, and the main force is out of Longxi?" Wei Yan smiled disappointedly, his tone full of disdain: "This is your opinion?" Haha, what nonsense, nonsense. I'll just say, how could you become smart all of a sudden, now it seems that it's just some little cleverness, and you can't take it seriously. ”

Wei Ba was unmoved, and smiled slightly: "What does my father think?" ”

Wei Yan looked at him, thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's rare that you have a military heart, so I will enlighten you, so as not to be embarrassed outside in the future." He sat behind the case, knocked his back finger twice on the case, and then raised his head: "Those who govern the army, should know geography." Tell me how much you know about the geography of Hanzhong. ”

Wei Ba shook his head: "I only know a little bit about it, and my specific knowledge is limited, so I ask my father for advice." ”

Wei Yan didn't expect him to say anything, he got up and took out a scroll of silk drawings from the inner room, spread it on the desk, and beckoned Wei Ba to sit closer. Wei Ba looked at it and couldn't help but be a little disappointed. This map is very sketchy, only a few lines are drawn on it, and a few place names are marked, not only can not be compared with the maps of later generations, but also compared with the military map of the Han Dynasty unearthed in Mawangdui.

"There are three options for Hanzhong to send troops to take Luoyang." Wei stretched out his fingers and swiped lightly across the map, his movements were rare and gentle, and it could be seen that he cherished this map very much. "First, from the east of the Han Dynasty, along the water to Xiangyang, pointing directly to Wanluo. This path is the most direct and the most recent, and it is the best policy. Second, cross the Qinling Mountains, take Guanzhong directly, and then go east along the Weishui, and then take Luoyang. Because it is difficult to climb over the mountains, this road is more difficult, and it takes time to take the pass first. However, the geography of Guanzhong is dangerous, known as the four stops of the Guanhe, and Qin took the world with Guanzhong. As long as our army holds the Tongguan Pass and allows Cao Wei to have no way to go west, then he can sit in the Guanzhong. Compared with taking Wanluo directly, the number of soldiers is also smaller, which is a more prudent method, which can be called the middle strategy. Zuihou is a road, which is what you said out of Longxi. This road is the farthest, and after taking Longxi, and then taking Guanzhong, it is necessary to break through Longshan, which is quite difficult. In case of a delay in Longxi and the main force of the Wei army comes to help, there must be a vicious battle in Guanzhong, and it is not yet known who will kill the deer. Therefore, the road you are talking about is the most unreasonable of the three roads, and your strategy is also the most down-to-earth policy. ”

Wei Yan raised his head and looked at Wei Ba and sneered. "Among the three strategies, you take the lowest strategy, with your knowledge, do you dare to close the Hou?"

Wei Ba disagreed, he believed that his father's vision would not be wrong, among these three strategies, it was true that Longxi was the next policy, but in history, Zhuge Liang was indeed out of Longxi, couldn't he see the advantages and disadvantages of these three strategies? Although Zhuge Liang cannot really call the wind and rain like in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there is no doubt that Zhuge Liang is one of the most outstanding military strategists of this era. He doesn't take the best policy, the middle policy, but the next policy, there must be his reason, even if he chooses this way out of prudent nature, there will inevitably be a reason why he has to do this, but he doesn't know it now.

Wei Ba knew that if it was scientific Jishu, he could be regarded as the top in this world, but when it came to military strategy, he had an empty stomach of historical stories, and he didn't know anything about a certain thing, such as the geography of Hanzhong that Wei Yan just said, he was confused.

He smiled: "Father, what you said may be reasonable, but this is just your choice, Prime Minister Zhuge may not think so." ”

Wei Yan sneered again. "The prime minister is the chief general of the Northern Expedition, so of course there is no doubt about it. But your father and I, as the general of Zhenbei, have been guarding Hanzhong for nearly ten years on the orders of the ancestors, and the prime minister wants to go on a northern expedition, can you listen to my opinion? Even if he doesn't adopt my best policy entirely, it is inevitable that he will use the middle policy. With the wisdom of the prime minister, will he take the next step? You think he's you. ”

Wei Ba touched his nose and smiled more modestly. Now it is very difficult to convince Daddy, no matter what aspect, he will not be able to gain the upper hand, and it will only make Daddy unhappy. But fortunately, the criterion for judging right and wrong is not to see who is reasonable, but to see what the facts are. Since Daddy is so sure, it may not be a bad thing to let him hit a wall in front of the facts.

"Father, anyway, the prime minister will come to Hanzhong soon, we might as well wait and see what strategy the prime minister takes."

"It's nature." Wei Yan thought of the Prime Minister's Northern Expedition, and he was about to be of great use, and his mood was relaxed. He smirked, stroked the short beard under his chin, and muttered for a moment: "Although your knowledge is not good, your literacy and hyphenation are not comparable to your brother." Since you are also interested in the military, so let's do it, from now on, you can take care of some clerical matters, so that you can help your brother share some of them. ”

Wei Ba habitually responded, and when he reacted, his scalp immediately tingled. It's okay to use your own mouth, but you really have to write it by hand, not to mention whether you can write official documents in Chinese, even if you have a crooked hand, you can't put it on the table. He raised his head, looked at Wei Yan, met his father's encouraging gaze, thought about it, opened his mouth, Zuihou still swallowed back the words of refusal, and nodded vigorously.

If you want to survive in this world, you must always learn calligraphy, and you must always learn to read and write Chinese and official documents, so why not start now. Everything is difficult at the beginning, and now when you encounter problems, you can still learn from your father and eldest brother, so that you won't be embarrassed and thrown outside, what a rare opportunity, how can you easily let it go. ―――――― new book period, all kinds of data are very important, please support all book lovers.
