Wei Ba was silent and sat quietly opposite Mrs. Zhang. Mrs. Zhang had lost her former peace and showed an anxious look. She and Wei Yan have been husband and wife for most of their lives, how can they not know Wei Yan's temper? Jihua, who thought he had a brilliant plan, was vetoed by the prime minister, how could he swallow his anger and take it out from time to time to talk about it, which was expected.

But can such a thing be brought out? Still often said?

He used to have this temper, but at that time he was in Hanzhong, the emperor was far away, he was the earth overlord, and no one dared to do anything to him. Now the situation is different, the prime minister has personally arrived in Hanzhong, how can he still be as mowgli as before?

Woe comes from the mouth.

Mrs. Zhang has read books, knows a little about ancient things, and is even more clear about what has happened in Shu Han in recent years, from a certain point of view, Wei Yan's understanding is not as thorough as hers, and Wei Ba's knowledge is not as broad as hers, and she knows better than Wei Ba about the dangers that Wei Yan's mouth may bring.

Because of this, Mrs. Zhang's anxiety was far beyond Wei Ba's imagination.

However, after all, Mrs. Zhang has been in charge of the Wei family for so many years, and she has more or less practiced the ability to collapse Mount Tai in front of her without changing her face. Her heart was already in a mess, but she didn't lose her temper, except that her face was a little pale and her hands hidden in her sleeves were a little tight, she couldn't see too much nervousness.

"Ziyu, what plan do you have?"

Wei Ba smiled, smiling at Mrs. Zhang's calmness. Being able to remain calm in this situation is enough to show that this housewife is not simple.

"Actually, I'm in favor of my father's Meridian Valley Jihua." Wei Ba said unhurriedly: "To fight against the Central Plains with the land of a state, if there is no surprise army, it is difficult to have a chance to win." At present, Cao Wei's attention is in Jiangdong, and it is also a desperate opportunity, if it cannot succeed, it will inevitably cause Cao Wei to refocus his attention on Guanzhong and station heavy troops in Guanzhong. At that time, even if my Han attacks with all his might, it will be difficult to have a chance of winning. ”

Mrs. Zhang bowed slightly, she didn't know much about war, but she could understand these macro-level analyses.

"So I think that although my father's jihua has an element of adventure, it is a good way to do it. The prime minister did not take the best policy, did not take the middle policy, but took the next policy, which is naturally due to his character, and it also shows that his own estimate of the prospects of the war is not optimistic. ”

Mrs. Zhang suddenly said: "For him, big wins and small wins are all wins, as long as he is not defeated." ”

Wei Ba was stunned for a moment, raised his head and looked at Mrs. Zhang, just taking in the sneer in Mrs. Zhang's eyes. He asked puzzledly, "Mother, do you mean ......?"

"Ziyu, your father is a soldier, and all his attention is on the battlefield, and he has never cared much about things that have nothing to do with the battlefield. But isn't the root cause of everything that happened on the battlefield still in the court? He only saw the Meridian Valley, but the prime minister saw Chengdu. ”

Wei Ba was surprised, and he didn't know what to say for a while. Mrs. Zhang showed a little perseverance, as if she had made up her mind. She waved her hand, signaled Wei Ba not to ask questions in a hurry, and continued: "The prime minister is on this expedition, and it is true that he can win a big victory, but with the strength of Shu Han, a big victory is almost impossible, but the prime minister can't be defeated, as soon as he loses, someone will rise up against him, and it's hard to say whether the prime minister's position can sit firmly." ”

"So think about it, between a big win with a very small odds and a small win with a very good odds, what would he choose?"

"He'll pick a small win." Wei Ba's thinking suddenly brightened, and he couldn't help but praise: "It's still my mother who can see it thoroughly." ”

"It's not that I see it thoroughly, it's because I'm not in the game, and the bystanders are clear." Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "Actually, the things in the court are much the same as those in the manor. Your father and son's attention is above the battle array, and my mind is in this manor, so I can understand the prime minister's mind better than you. ”

Wei Ba smiled dumbly, thinking about it, this is indeed a truth. In this manor, the father is the emperor Liu Chan who doesn't care about anything, and Mrs. Zhang is the prime minister who holds the power, and if Mrs. Zhang wants to keep her current position, she can't make mistakes. If the prime minister wants to keep his position, he can't fail, otherwise those who are suppressed by him will attack him en masse.

Later, the street pavilion was lost, and Zhuge Liang slashed the horse with tears and passed it on as a good story that the law must be followed. However, some people analyzed that this was just Zhuge Liang's helpless move. The reason why it is necessary to behead is because someone must be responsible, and Ma Tan, the person responsible for the loss of the street pavilion, must be responsible, but the real first responsible person is Zhuge Liang himself. The reason why he shed tears was probably because Zhuge Liang knew that Ma Jian died unjustly, but he had to die.

Even so, he himself depreciated himself by three levels. Later generations recorded it simply, but how many struggles took place during this period can only be guessed.

If you only consider your own status and don't consider the future of Shu Han, for Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, the big victory and small victory actually don't have much impact, anyway, he is already a very human minister, and there is no reward, unless he wants to learn from Cao Cao.

In this case, it has become an inevitable choice to be cautious and prefer a small victory to take risks. Wei Ba believes that Zhuge Liang has the ambition of the Guangxing Room in his heart, but there is a prerequisite for realizing this ambition, that is, he must first be able to firmly grasp the power in his hands, otherwise everything will be empty talk.

"The prime minister's choice is right for him, but for the country, it may be a big loss. And for my Wei family, it is even more of a disaster. Mrs. Zhang sighed: "The prime minister will probably be stationed in Hanzhong for a long time in the future, then my Wei family will be nothing in Hanzhong, and there will be a loss of interests, but your father's mouth is ......."

Mrs. Zhang stretched out her fingers and rubbed her somewhat sore eyebrows, and sighed.

Wei Ba nodded in agreement, did not express any opinion, and let Mrs. Zhang's own worries ferment. He believed that the more Madame Zhang thought about it, the more nervous she became. She stayed in this small building all day, what else could she do but think about it? And fear is a psychology that will slowly grow over time.

"You want to take the same adventure as your father?" Mrs. Zhang's eyes flashed, and she looked at Wei Ba suspiciously, with some disappointment in her eyes. Contrary to Wei Ba's conjecture, the reason why she treated the Deng family well was not because Wei Ba invented the iron and new bookkeeping methods, but because Wei Ba maintained the necessary calm in the battle with Yang Yi. If Wei Yan's character was followed, he would definitely seize the opportunity to force Yang Yi to death. Wei Ba did not do this, and later did not take the opportunity to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion to be a nominal idler, but to retreat as an advance, first worship Zhao Yun as a teacher, lay a solid foundation, and only a few months later served as Zhuge Qiao's army, which is enough to show that Wei Ba is different from his father Wei Yan.

This quality is rare among the Wei family's father and son, and if it is applied well, it will be of great help to Wei Feng in the future, so Mrs. Zhang will treat Wei Ba's mother Deng well.

But now, Wei Ba knew that Meridian Valley Jihua was very risky, but he still expressed his support, wouldn't that be as reckless as Wei Yan? If that's the case, then he's not worth paying attention to.

"I support my father's jihua for two reasons: one is that for the country, if this jihua can succeed, there will be hope for the restoration of the Han family. The second is that for the family, only the successful implementation of this jihua can turn evil into good fortune. ”

Mrs. Zhang raised her eyebrows, and immediately understood Wei Ba's words. Wei Yan's temper can't be changed, and the Wei family can't retreat, so there is only one step. If Meridian Valley Jihua can really succeed, Wei Yan will not only have great achievements, but in the future, Meridian Valley Jihua will also become his glory, not the source of trouble.

"But Meridian Valley Jihua is too risky, the prime minister won't accept it?"

"Daddy's Meridian Valley Jihua is indeed too risky, in my opinion, there is only about a thirty percent chance. However, we can overcome some unfavorable factors through hard work, increase the chances of success, and make the impossible possible. ”

"For example?"

Wei Ba took out a few pieces of paper from his arms, slowly unfolded them, and put his hands in front of Mrs. Zhang: "Here are some plans I have prepared, please take a look at them." The manpower and material resources to be mobilized here are very amazing, and only Mrs. can judge. ”

Mrs. Zhang took the paper, but she didn't look at it, but just gently tapped the desk with her fingers: "According to your estimate, how much can you increase the chance?" ”

"Fifty percent, seventy percent at most."

"Five or five is not too little, but it is not too much." Mrs. Zhang's eyes shrunk, stared at Wei Ba's eyes, and said word by word: "Do you think the prime minister will agree?" ”

"I don't know." Wei Ba said: "I want to take advantage of this opportunity to go to Xicheng to take a trip to Meridian Valley by myself first, conduct a field investigation, and then try to convince Zhuge Qiao." Zhuge Qiao is the son of the prime minister, and from his point of view, the effect must be better. ”

Mrs. Zhang nodded: "This is a good idea, but what if Zhuge Qiao can't convince the prime minister?" ”

"If Zhuge Qiao can't convince the prime minister, then it's all up to the mother's choice." Wei Ba bowed and looked at the pieces of paper under Mrs. Zhang's palm: "I have written my thoughts on it, if my mother thinks it is desirable, I will do it." If Grandma Zuihou thinks it's undesirable, then please burn these pieces of paper, and I'll come back today, just to say hello to Grandma, and nothing else. ”

Mrs. Zhang was stunned for a moment, took her hand away, and was just about to go to see it, Wei Ba stretched out her hand, gently pressed the thin pieces of hemp paper, and smiled slightly: "Mother, after I leave, Mother can take a slow look, not in a hurry." ”

Mrs. Zhang narrowed her eyes, looked at Wei Ba's hand, was silent for a while, and laughed softly.

"Okay, I'll see later, what about you, when are you leaving?"

"I'll leave tomorrow morning." Wei Ba smiled lightly: "My father's title will inevitably be inherited by my brother in the future, and I have to earn my own, otherwise, my brother's burden will be too heavy in the future." ”

Mrs. Zhang's eyes flashed and she smiled: "Ziyu, you are smarter than Ah Feng, and you have worshiped Zhao Yun as a teacher, and you have a bright future." Assist Zhuge Qiao well, and his achievements will inevitably surpass Ah Feng in the future. ”

"Mother, no matter how big my official ability is and how high my title is, Ah Feng will always be my brother, Mother...... She will always be my mother. ”

Mrs. Zhang smiled comfortably and patted Wei Ba's hand on the case. "Ziyu, you are a sensible child, I am very happy." ———— ask for recommendations, ask for collections!
