After listening to Fa Miao's explanation, Liao Li stroked his beard and was silent. Wei Ba clenched his hands into fists, resting on his laps, his fingers retracted and released, relaxed and retracted, and after repeating it a few times, he slowly opened his fingers, opened them as much as possible, and then relaxed again.

"No." Wei Ba said categorically, without any room for discussion, and he was loud.

Fa Miao didn't feel frustrated, on the contrary, a hint of relief flashed in his eyes. Liao Li also raised his eyelids and looked at Wei Ba quietly.

Wei Ba stood up, behind him, and said slowly: "It's not that I can't trust Mr. Gongyuan, it's just that there are some things that can only be faced by myself after all." Besides, the prime minister is so resolute, how can he allow me to hide in Jiaozhou? Chengdu, Jiaozhou, thousands of miles away, messengers come and go once, a month has passed, if there is an emergency, so deal with it? I'll have to make a decision on the fly. ”

He paused for a moment and said, "However, Mr. Gongyuan has been in Jiaozhou for several years, and his achievements are obvious to everyone, but he has not been promoted. This is indeed a good opportunity to enter the court, even if the three princes can't get it, this Jiuqing should have been obtained a long time ago. ”

Hearing this, Liao Li couldn't help but smile. He complained because he was dissatisfied with Zhuge Liang and only let him be listed in the fifth school. Although his temperament has faded over the years, the heart of fame and fortune has not been extinguished. Wei Ba wanted to promote him to the position of Jiuqing, which was the point of his laughter.

Fa Miao smiled slightly: "What the general said is very true. In that case, it is no longer ado, so prepare as early as possible. ”

Wei Ba's jaw head. For the first time in many years, he had to leave the station for a long time, and he didn't know when he would be back. Of course, you must arrange the affairs of the family first.

As if sensing his need, stepping on the sound of firecrackers on Chinese New Year's Eve, Guan Feng and Guan Xing rushed to Jiaozhou, accompanied by two people: Pan Jun and Lu Fang.

Pan Jun has just returned to his hometown in Wuling with his family. The reason why he left Sun Quan was because judging from the situation in the past few months, he knew that the state of Wu had already existed in name only, even if he did not die in Shu Han, the state of Wu would be completely controlled by the Jiangdong clan, and there would be no room for development after the surrender of Jingzhou like him. In the past, he did not surrender to Han because he had the grace of Sun Quan's knowledge. He is not good at betraying Sun Quan. Now Sun Quan is also a Hanchen, and he abandoned Wu and returned to Han, so he said goodbye to Sun Quan and returned to Wuling with his family.

Panjia Laozhuang is the place where Wei Ba often lived when he passed through Wuling. Guan Feng returned from Xiangyang. Passing through Linyuan. also stayed there, and when he heard that Pan Jun was back, Guan Feng immediately came to the door to ask for a meeting. persuaded Pan Jun to rush to Jiaozhou with her.

Elfang's situation is quite different. It was a pure coincidence that he and Guan Feng were travelling together. Guan Yu was defeated and died that year, Elfang and Shiren had an unshirkable responsibility, Guan Feng couldn't wait to eat his flesh and eat his skin, and Elfang was terrified all the way and couldn't sleep at night. When he arrived in Jiaozhou and saw Wei Ba, his worried heart was half relieved.

That's only half of it. He wasn't sure that Wei Ba wouldn't take his flag. If he really couldn't get along in Jiangdong, he wouldn't have rushed to Jiaozhou with a cheeky face.

Seeing Elk Fang's haggard face, Wei Ba knew how nervous he had been in the past few days, waved his hand, and asked Elfang to go to rest first, and invited Pan Jun to the hall first, and said with a smile: "The old general is so late." ”

Pan Jun blushed a little. When he was captured, Wei Ba once asked Zhao Tong and Pan Ziyu to persuade him to surrender, but he refused. Now that he followed Guan Feng to see Wei Ba, there was no way. He is not young enough to return home to retire, but his son can't rest at home. The Wuling Pan family is also a big family, and someone has to come out to do it.

"The old man is clumsy, he can't see the destiny clearly, and he is ashamed."

Wei Ba hahadaxiao, affectionately pulled Pan Jun's arm and went to the court. "The old general is loyal, reluctant to be the old master, and has the style of an ancient righteous man, I can understand. Now that Eastern Wu has returned to the Han Dynasty, the south of the Great River is the territory of our Han Dynasty, and it is also human nature for the old general to return to his roots. However, now that things are difficult, I am afraid that the matter of the old general telling the old man will have to be postponed again. ”

Pan Jun breathed a sigh of relief and was inexplicably grateful. He came to seek an official for his son, but Wei Ba directly wanted to give him an official, which was a big surprise to him. It is true that his son-in-law is Wei Ba's senior brother, but after all, it is not separated by a layer, besides, although Guan Feng took the initiative to invite him, he was somewhat troubled in his heart, and doing so may be more from the overall situation, which does not mean that Guan Feng does not care about the past.

"The general's kindness is grateful." Pan Jun said modestly: "However, the old rotten teeth are shaken and fallen, and I can't step on the horse, and I can't lift the knife, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take on the heavy responsibility." ”

Wei Ba shook his head: "The rough work of carrying a knife to kill people is still done by us young people." The old general should lie down and rule. ”

Pan Jun was puzzled.

Wei Ba explained slightly. Under his rule, there were three governors in each county, the Taishou was responsible for civil affairs, the lieutenant was in charge of military affairs, and the supervisor was responsible for supervision, which was equivalent to the auditing and discipline inspection commissions of later generations, and the responsibilities of the officials and the powerful families were similar to those of the state assassins. However, this kind of offending people is always not so easy to do, and as the economy of the counties and counties gradually improves, some supervision matters cannot keep up with the pace, and corruption is not uncommon.

Originally, Liao Li was in charge of Jiaozhou, but now that Liao will enter the dynasty immediately, Wei Ba will find a suitable person to replace Liao Li. But where did Wei Ba go to find someone who could replace Liao Li for a while, Pan Jun came at this time, and it just solved a big problem for Wei Ba.

Pan Jun has a hard personality and is known for his iron-faced selflessness, and such a person is suitable for the work of supervision. Although he has just been attached, his qualifications are old, and he was an important staff member of Guan Yu a long time ago, and if he is the wife and father of Senior Brother Wei Ba, this alone is enough to make people look sideways. Wei Ba doesn't need all his work to grasp, he can catch the supervision work, Wei Ba is very satisfied.

After Liao Li, Wei Ba did not want to have a second subordinate who combined the three powers of the soldiers, the people and the prison. Taking the opportunity of Liao Li's entry into the court, it is the most appropriate time to plug this loophole in advance.

After listening to Wei Ba's explanation, Pan Jun didn't shirk too much and agreed.

After settling down Pan Jun, Wei Ba entered the backyard, Guan Feng was talking to Xiahou Hui and Peng Xiaoyu, and when he saw Wei Ba coming over with a smile, Guan Feng snorted: "Are you still satisfied?" ”

Wei Ba smiled, reached out to wrap his arms around Guan Feng's shoulders, gently patted her bulging belly, and said with a pun: "It's not just satisfaction, it's just overjoyed." My sister has a big belly, and I can trust this place to you with confidence. ”

"Give it to me?" Guan Feng shook his head: "Forget it, I'm tired, I'm not in the mood to care about so many things." Besides, Yuanrong and Xiaoyu manage Haode well, what is it if I intervene horizontally. ”

"Don't worry too much about my sister, just hang the arch and do nothing." Wei Ba squeezed his eyes at Xiahou Hui and Peng Xiaoyu: "As for those trivial chores, Yuanrong and Xiaoyu will do it." ”

Xiahou Hui affectionately took Guan Feng's hand: "Sister, although Xiaoyu and I are smart, we don't understand military affairs. We can help with other things, but the military power can only be handed over to you, so that the husband can rest assured that he will go west. Don't shirk it, look around, who else can reassure your husband besides you? ”

Guan Feng wrinkled his nose: "Don't fool me." Do you think I can ride a horse and fight like this? ”

"That's why I called Dingguo to help you." Wei Ba stroked Guan Feng's shoulder: "Besides, there won't be any war for the time being." After the New Year, you will settle down in Xiangguan, take charge of the military talismans, and if you have anything, you will directly hand it over to the given country to do. I believe that with his ability, there will definitely be no problem. You see that a scholar at the beginning can now rectify the water master properly, and he has been fighting for many years, can this matter still be handled? ”

Hearing Wei Ba's words, Guan Feng stopped refusing. Xiahou Hui's brother Xiahou Xuan is now in charge of the water division, and Peng Xiaoyu's brother Peng Heng is now in charge of Wei Ba's intelligence department. Calling Guan Xing from Guanzhong originally had this meaning, and he went to invite Pan Jun halfway, also from the overall situation, hoping to do something for Wei Ba with his sincerity, without losing the demeanor of a lady.

Wei Ba wants to hand over the military power to their sister and brother for the time being, this is what she expects the most, how can she really refuse.

Having said that, Guan Feng still glanced at Wei Ba: "If you are so generous today, I'm afraid you have other plans, right?" You say, what are you going to do with Elfang's traitor? ”

Wei Ba touched his nose and smiled without saying a word. Peng Xiaoyu walked over and laughed softly: "Sister, the sailor can run rampant in Jiangdong, and the Zhennan General's Mansion is making money every day, not only because of Sister Yuanrong's careful calculation, but also because of Elkwei's contributions." This face still has to be given. ”

Guan Feng was stunned, his eyes turned to Xiahou Hui, and Xiahou Hui nodded with a smile. "Xiaoyu is right, at least half of the business in the Zhennan General's Mansion is taken care of by Elway, so don't think that I am taking care of the family again for those things that will be sold to Wei in the future, it is the husband who is really in charge, and it is Elwei who actually operates, and I am just in charge of the accounts."

Guan Feng was taken aback. Only then did she understand that Elfang Weishenme dared to come to see Wei Ba, and it turned out that there was Elk Wei behind this. It has been a long time since Elwei disappeared from the Shu Han court, and no one knows what he is doing, it turns out that he has been doing these things for Wei Ba. In this way, Wei Ba dared to send Xiahou Xuan to lead the sailors into Wu, go thousands of miles deep, and kill Yuzhang, I am afraid that it is also because Elk Wei prepared grain and grass in Jiangdong and arranged to respond.

This credit is too great, enough to exchange Elfang's life. Of course, Wei Ba so generously handed over the military power to their sisters, and there was also the meaning of compensating the Guan family. Although Guan Feng can't really let go, but Wei Ba has done this, and she can only do this. If you have to kill Elfang and avenge her father Guan Yu, it is just to make it difficult for Wei Ba. When Wei Ba was about to go back to Chengdu to compete with Zhuge Liang, she couldn't let Wei Ba still worry about the backyard, which was not what a qualified wife should do.

"I can let him go, though, keep him away from me. I was in a bad mood when I saw him. ”

"Okay, no problem." Wei Ba nodded again and again, with the flattery of a model good husband: "I'll drive him to the East China Sea, and he won't be allowed to appear within a hundred miles of his sister, okay?" ”

Before Guan Feng could answer, Han Zhenying came in with a pair of long legs, and said happily: "General, my senior brother is here." ”…… (To be continued......)
