Hearing that Xiang Lang was visiting, Wei Ba and Zhao Guang, who were chatting under the lamp, exchanged a look and smiled in unison.

Xiang Lang is a senior of the Jingxiang family, and his qualifications are even older than Wei Yan, not to mention a junior like Wei Ba. As far as the current identity is concerned, Xiang Lang is the head of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wei Ba is the Prime Minister's Mansion to join the army, and Xiang Lang happens to be Wei Ba's top boss. Xiang Lang wanted to see Wei Ba, he only needed to send someone to shout, and Wei Ba had to run over, and there was no reason for Xiang Lang to take the initiative to see Wei Ba.

There is only one possibility for this kind of unexpected situation: Xiang Lang has asked Wei Ba, so he surrendered his identity and gave Wei Ba enough face.

In this situation, not to mention that now is an era of etiquette, even if it is a later generation when etiquette collapses, when fellow villagers and elders visit, Wei Ba should also get up to greet him and receive him warmly. This is a fine tradition precipitated in the bones of the Chinese, regardless of the era.

Zhao Guang stood up, stretched his waist, and said half-jokingly: "You Jingxiang people talk, and I, a Changshan person, will stay away for a while." ”

Wei Bale was happy, pushed Zhao Guang out of the big tent, cleaned up the tent himself, tidied up his clothes again, and walked out of the camp gate quickly. Seeing Xiang Lang standing outside the camp gate, Wei Ba arched his hand from afar, walked up to Xiang Lang at a trot, and took a deep look.

"Xiang Gong, what's the matter, just let people call me, how can I work your big driver?"

The corners of Xiang Lang's mouth twitched, one hand behind his back, the other hand stroked his beard, and the old spicy gaze swept over Wei Ba's face: "Ziyu, although you are young, you are the star of my Jingxiang's later generations. A few days ago, I was busy with military affairs, so I didn't have a chance to talk to you properly. I'm free today, so I'm going to take a look. ”

Wei Ba smiled. But he secretly scolded the old fox in his heart. This big family is really different, and in a few words, it explains the previous snub satisfactorily and properly. also inadvertently explained the previous rejection of his father Wei Yan, so that he couldn't say anything to complain about.

Sure enough, ginger is old and spicy.

"Praise to the public, the kid is ashamed." Wei Ba smiled humbly and stretched out his hand to invite: "Please!" ”

Xiang Lang nodded with satisfaction. Stretched out his hand to grab Wei Ba's arm and walked towards the big tent together. It stands to reason that Wei Ba is a junior. The official position is low, he should guide sideways, and Xiang Langda can calmly enjoy this due respect. But Xiang Lang took Wei Ba's arm and walked side by side, this is the biggest lift of the elders to the juniors. With a thick skin like Wei Ba, he was also a little flattered. Regardless of whether Xiang Lang did this to ask him or not, just this scene. It was a great honor for him to reach the ears of others.

Excitement is excitement, but Wei Ba has not lost his position. Xiang Lang has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, such an unusual politeness, naturally he is asking for help. If it doesn't help. I'm afraid that this kind of salute will end here, and I won't take it as an example.

Therefore, Wei Ba was very calm, let Xiang Lang into the big tent, and asked him to take a seat. He didn't just say a word casually, just said something light and light on Xiang Lang's words. Xiang Lang raised his head a few times, and wanted to turn to Ma Yan's matter, but he deliberately pretended not to understand.

After testing twice, seeing that Wei Ba didn't answer, Xiang Lang was also helpless. If it weren't for Ma Yan, he would have brushed his sleeves away now, and now he has a request for help, so he has to put down this old face and take the initiative to ask for it.

"Ziyu, I just came from the baggage camp."

Wei Ba blinked and looked at Xiang Lang very cutely, as if he didn't understand, and as if he was waiting for Xiang Lang's next words.

"Young people are often locked up in baggage camps." Xiang Lang was angry and funny, and said straight to the point: "The prime minister wants to execute Youchang for the crime of defeating the army, and I have no choice but to come to Ziyu for advice." Ziyu, the brothers of the Ma family followed the first emperor into Sichuan, Ma Jichang died young, and now all hope is in Ma Youchang's body. As a member of the Jingxiang Township Party, we watched him die like this, but we were indifferent, which inevitably lost the righteousness of our fellow villagers. ”

Hearing this, Wei Ba didn't pretend to be stupid, he put away his smile, his eyes became sharp, his back was straight, he didn't have the half respect just now, and the whole person was like an iron spear, revealing Han Sensen's killing intent.

"Xiang Gong, since it comes to the righteousness of fellow villagers, the kid has something unclear, please give advice to the public."

Xiang Lang sighed secretly and nodded silently. "If you have any doubts, but it doesn't hurt to say, I know it, I will tell you honestly, if you really don't understand, you won't hide it, everyone will discuss it together."

"Thank you for your love." Wei Ba bowed his hand: "Ma Youchang is the prime minister's henchman, and Meridian Valley Jihua is implemented by him in consultation with the prime minister." It's just that there are changes to this jihua, and these changes have not been notified to my Wei family father and son who are responsible for implementation. What is the heart of the young horse? Is he trying to trap my father and son in a place where they must die? What is the meaning of his countrymen? ”

Xiang Lang's face was a little confused. Although he didn't completely know what Jihua looked like in Meridian Valley, he knew very well that Zhuge Liang's main force was out of Longyou, but he had the intention of letting Wei Ba's father and son guard the pass, and he also knew that there must be Ma Yan's credit in this. Now that he is questioned by Wei Ba in person, he is also a little unbearable.

Xiang Lang was silent for a moment, then raised his head again, his eyes becoming firm. "Ziyu, do you want to hear the truth?"

"Of course."

"It's very simple, because your father thinks very highly of himself, has no spare sons, and has never had any Jingxiang Township Party in his eyes. Since he is outside the Jingxiang people, how can the Jingxiang people introduce him as a peer? ”

"So you're going to get rid of him?"

"It's not us, it's the prime minister, it's not to get rid of him, it's just to make him suffer a little, knowing that a person's liliang is limited after all, if no one supports him behind him, even if he is a martial artist, there will be no good results." Xiang Lang's eyes were aggressive, "He admires Guan Yu wholeheartedly, do you know why Guan Yu defeated Maicheng?" Because he is a single man. ”

Wei Ba's heart moved, and he was silent. He heard more meaning from Xiang Lang's words.

"Guan Yu's martial arts are very high, the enemy of 10,000 people, the general of the bear and tiger, and the power of the world. But he only has himself in his eyes, and he refuses to get close to the scholars, thinking that he can conquer the world with his own strength, so that Zuihou refuses to pretend to be even the first emperor. The result? Can he kill Cao Wei's 100,000 army alone? Can he conquer the world alone? He had no friends, so he died, and there was no one to cry out for him, but many people felt that he had died a well-deserved death. ”

Wei Ba smiled bitterly, and had to admit that Xiang Lang's words were right. After Guan Yu's death, there was a lot of criticism of him, the most obvious being Liao Li's criticism of him. said that he was "a brave man, unable to be an army, and went straight to the will". This was written in the official document, and Liao Li was later convicted, which was one of the crimes, but anyone with a discerning eye knew it. That's not because he said it wrong, but because Zhuge Liang wanted to belittle him, so he used it to make a fuss. Otherwise, he would not have been punished years after he had said this.

Daddy Wei Yan imitates Guan Yu everywhere, and his personality is also very similar, when he was "demoted" to Hanzhong and lived idle, no one spoke for him, which shows how bad his popularity is. Historically, he died as a rebellious sinner and was razed to the three tribes. There is no one to say a fair word to him, which naturally has a lot to do with his character.

Xiang Lang's meaning is very clear, it was your father who snubbed you before, it was your father who was outside of Jingxiang, and it was not our fault. This time. I ask you for help, it's the Jingxiang people who owe you a favor, if you insist on being a lone husband, then I can't help it. You just wait for the same fate as Guan Yu.

Can one person fight the world?

It may be in the story, but not in reality. Otherwise, the overlords of the three-point world will not be Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Quan, but should be fierce generals such as Lu Bu, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei. In fact, whether it is Lu Bu, Guan Yu or Zhang Fei, they are all lone wolves, all they have is their own bravery, but there is no strong clan and township party support behind them, so Lu Bu was defeated, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei can only be Liu Bei's thugs, including Liu Bei himself, because there is no liliang support from the clan, running around for half a life, Zuihou picked up a bargain in Yizhou, drove the weaker Liu Zhang away, occupied the country of abundance, and divided the world. And the reason why he was able to succeed is that the role of the Jing Xiang system cannot be ignored.

The situation of the Wei family is better, but it is only better. If Daddy continues like this, the results won't improve much. The Jingxiang family is a well-deserved interest group in the Shu Han court, and as a Jingxiang person, if the Wei family can't integrate into it, it will be just a lone wolf after all.

The lone wolf will not end well. Don't look at the Yuan subordinate system headed by Zhao Yun, the Hanzhong people led by Zhao Su are helping him now, they are all using each other, and they are using each other to a limited extent, and they lack that natural geographical connection between them. If the Wei family could not have a good relationship with Jing Xiang, his alliance with other interest groups would eventually only fall on the surface.

You are not even close to your own township party, how can you expect to have a good relationship with others?

Now that Xiang Lang has extended an olive branch, it is an opportunity for the Wei family and the Jing Xiang family to improve their relationship. If Wei Ba doesn't seize it, he may not have such an opportunity next time.

Wei Ba is not Wei Yan, as a passerby who once drowned in the crowd, he knows that a person's liliang is limited, and the great leader still has to establish a united front, not to mention him. It is precisely because he understands this truth that he will work hard to win over Zhao Yun and his son, Zhao Su, Fu Xing and others.

It was a good opportunity for Lang, but it wasn't good enough. Wei Ba knew that if he followed like this, it would not be his help to the Jingxiang faction, but the charity of the Jingxiang faction, and he could only be accepted by the Jingxiang faction at most and become a thug in the Jingxiang faction, but he could not become the leader of the Jingxiang faction.

Wei Ba smiled and picked up Xiang Lang's words just now: "Xiang Gong, you are as sharp as a knife, sharp and abnormal. However, I think you're careless. Ma Youchang is the prime minister's confidant, how could the prime minister kill him? It's just a defeat, the crime is not here, and imprisoning him for a few days is just to let him reflect on himself and give everyone an explanation at the same time. ”

Xiang Lang raised his eyebrows and shook his head. "Ziyu, you are still young and don't know the key to this. How can this matter be so simple as defeat? There are so many relationships involved. ”

Although Wei Ba himself has also had some analysis, it is of course a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to have the opportunity to listen to an old man like Xiang Lang analyze the current situation. In addition to looking at the problem from a different angle, discussing with each other is also a great opportunity to show his ability to Xiang Lang, a fellow villager. He hurriedly bowed down and said, "Please also give advice to the public." ”
