Chapter 069: Test (3rd Shift)
Yang Wei looked at Wei Ba and was deflated, his heart was happy, the smile on his face had just bloomed, and when he suddenly heard this, the smile suddenly froze on his face. Wei Ba turned his head to look at the door, only to see a middle-aged man about forty years old walking in quickly, walking like the wind, coming to Wei Ba and bowing his hand. "Wei joins the army, please take a seat."
Wei Ba blinked in confusion, hurriedly returned the salute, and asked, "Dare to ask what is the ...... under your feet?"
"Nanyang Zongpre, together with Wei Senjun, will assist Captain Zhuge to go east."
Zhuge Qiao stood up and smiled slightly: "Ziyu, this is the teacher arranged for me by the prime minister." ”
Wei Ba immediately understood, and hurriedly shook his head and smiled: "Zong joins the army is too polite, with Zong joining the army here, how dare I sit on the seat." Zong joins the army, you please. Wei Ba said as he enthusiastically put Zong Qian in his seat.
"Otherwise, virtue is not in old age." Zong Yu waved his hand: "Wei and I joined the army in the Prime Minister's Mansion, except for how many years older, there is nothing commendable in other aspects. Moreover, Cheng quite explained face-to-face, Wei joined the army in Hanzhong, and was very familiar with the affairs of Hanzhong. ”
Everyone was in an uproar, and even Zhuge Qiao was a little surprised. Although they were not as vicious as Yang Wei thought, they also did not think that Wei Ba was qualified to sit on the seat. Compared with everyone here, Wei Ba, who has just entered the official career, is the most qualified, he is not yet twenty years old, and he was only given the word by Prime Minister Zhuge a few months ago, and the crown ceremony performed together with the apprenticeship ceremony is regarded as a fledgling offspring, how can it be more noble than the nearly forty-year-old Zongzhu?
Zhuge Qiao looked at Zong Pre and wondered in his heart, how could the prime minister not take care of him for such an important matter? Is it up to him to deal with it? He looked at Zong Pre and wanted to see some clues from his face, but Zong Pre had a serious face, did not smile harshly, and could not see the truth at all. Just when he hesitated, Wei Ba shook his head again and again: "Even if it is the intention of the prime minister, I don't dare to sit in this position." Zong joins the army, you don't have to be modest, if you refuse to take a seat, then I will get off the ship now and resign to the prime minister. ”
The corners of Zong Pre's eyes twitched, and he smiled: "Why? ”
Wei Ba smiled bitterly: "Although in terms of position, I am on par with Zong's army, but in terms of qualifications, I can't be compared with Zong's army." With these peers, I can still be presumptuous, Hu Laitong, in front of Hezong to join the army, how dare I be presumptuous? I won't tell you the truth, not long ago, my father also said that in the party of Nanyang Township, he only respects Zong to join the army, and if I meet Zong to join the army, I must not be presumptuous, otherwise I will not be spared. ”
Zong Yu looked at Wei Ba suspiciously: "General Zhenbei really said that?" How can I be so respected by General Zhenbei? ”
This can't be blamed for not believing in Zong. First, Wei Yan is notoriously unpopular, so many Nanyang people, he has never praised anyone, served anyone, and even his respect for Fu Wei is only because Fu Wei died on the battlefield, and he actually doesn't think of Fu Wei's ability. Zong Yu is an even more inconspicuous one among the people of Nanyang, nearly forty years old, but he is only a member of the Prime Minister's Mansion who joined the army, and now he is even more down side by side with Wei Ba, a hairy young man, to say that Wei Yan admires him, isn't this a joke?
Wei Yan really didn't say anything like this, but Wei Ba knew that the sect was a standard late bloomer, and he would have to live a long time after such a grievance. Zong Yu did not lead the troops until after the death of Zhuge Liang, when he was over sixty years old, and was one of the few important generals in the late Shu Han Dynasty.
Since he knew that it was this great power, how could Wei Ba sit on his top position, whether it was an order from Prime Minister Zhuge Liang or not, he would not sit. Who knows if it's a killing? If he sits in this position today, tomorrow others will think that he is as unsightly and proud as his father.
Wei Ba resolutely refused to sit, Zhuge Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Zong Pre with a smile: "Since Ziyu has good intentions, don't be modest when you join the army, please take a seat." ”
The corners of Zong Pre's mouth twitched, glanced at Wei Ba, and smiled slightly: "Since this is the case, then Zong Mou will be big." ”
"As it should be, as it should be." Wei Ba was in a cold sweat, and he diligently invited Zong Yu to the front of the seat, watched him sit down, and then walked to the right-hand side and took a seat, his face did not dare to show a trace of pride, he must be calm and calm again.
Seeing that Wei Ba respected his elders so much and did not hesitate to disobey the prime minister's orders, everyone's impression of Wei Ba changed. Many people thought that Wei Ba could jump into the army of the Prime Minister's Mansion in one fell swoop, but because he had a father who was very unreasonable and had a heavy army, coupled with the previous conflicts between Wei Ba and Liu Yan's father and son, Yang Yi's father and son, they all thought that Wei Ba and Wei Yan were as proud and conceited as they were and unkind. Now seeing Wei Ba behave like this, he was somewhat surprised, and his eyes towards Wei Ba became softer.
Only Yang Wei was very depressed, he wanted to laugh at Wei Ba, but he didn't expect to lift a stone and hit himself in the foot. That position was originally supposed to be Wei Ba's, but Wei Ba refused to sit down, so he gave it to Zong Pre.
Zhuge Qiao coughed and announced the meeting began. He turned to Zong and nodded: "Zong joins the army, please explain the purpose of this operation to us first." ”
Zong Yu bowed, got up and walked behind Zhuge Qiao, and a guard hung up a silk book map and handed over a wattle bamboo. Zong Pre took the bamboo in his hand, dotted on the map, and said loudly: "The purpose of our army's operation this time is the three eastern counties of Hanzhong, namely Xicheng, Fangling, and Shangyong ......."
The three eastern counties are privately called, because the Shu Han dynasty took the inheritance of the Han family as the slogan, and even did not recognize the legitimacy of the Cao Wei regime, let alone recognize their system of the three eastern counties, so they usually say that they are the three eastern counties, and they are called the three eastern counties on official occasions. And the system of this place has also been changing, and now Cao Wei's title is not the three counties, but Xincheng County and Weixing County, and the Taishou are Meng Da and Shen Yi.
Before Meng Da surrendered, Xicheng had already set up a separate county, called Weixing County, and Taishou was Xicheng's strong Shentan. Later, Meng Da, Liu Feng, and Li Yan jointly attacked, Shen Tan surrendered, and Weixing County was canceled and became Xicheng County. After Meng Da surrendered, he led the Wei army to attack westward, defeated Shen Tan, canceled Xicheng County, took Meng Da as the Tai Guard, and reestablished Weixing County. Shen Tan was moved to Luoyang, and his younger brother Shen Yi was still in Xicheng, serving as Wei Xing's guard.
Therefore, in the official title of Cao Wei, these places were called Weixing County and Xincheng County, which belonged to Jingzhou and were controlled by Sima Yi, the general of the Fu army stationed in Wancheng.
In addition to practicing martial arts in the past six months, Wei Ba has been thinking about his father's Meridian Valley Jihua, as well as the Northern Expedition strategy that is about to begin, and has also discussed the relevant situation with his father Wei Yan and Master Zhao Yun many times, and he is still relatively familiar with the situation in the three eastern counties, plus the Dunwu next to him has been in and out of the three eastern counties many times, and he has more personal experience, which has been absorbed by Wei Ba and turned into his own wealth.
For the explanation of the Zong Pre, Wei Ba's understanding is more thorough than that of ordinary people, and even a little clearer than the Zong Pretend. Don't look at most of the people here are Jingxiang people, they are no strangers to the mountains, but they live in the Nanyang Basin and Xiangyang City, and they may not know much about the real mountains.
Wei Ba knows a little more, but he also knows that he is talking on paper, after all, he has not traveled between the valleys like Dunwu and them, and he has no personal experience, so he is not too public, listens carefully to the pre-lecture of the sect, and does not easily express any opinions.
But if his seriousness falls in Yang Wei's eyes, it becomes hypocrisy, it becomes a void of heart, and it becomes not knowing how to pretend to understand.
Hatred can make people lose their minds, although Wei Ba never took Yang Wei to heart, but Yang Wei regarded Wei Ba as a real enemy. Wei Ba forced his father Yang Yi to vomit blood in public, which was enough for their father and son to hate Wei Ba to the bones, and he would not let go of any opportunity to make Wei Ba deflated and embarrassed.
After Zong Pre finished explaining, before he could take a breath, Yang Wei stood up and said with a hearty smile: "Although Zong's exposition on joining the army is exquisite, among the people here, if you want to say that you are familiar with the terrain in this area, no one can surpass Wei to join the army. Zong Senjun has finished speaking, does Wei Senjun also express a little high opinion, so that we can have a long insight? ”
Wei Ba looked at Yang Wei, and was amused in his heart, saying in his heart Is this kid crazy, why is he biting me like a mad dog? Zhuge Qiao and Zong Pre haven't spoken yet, when will it be your turn to speak as a scribe?
When others saw this scene, they also felt that Yang Wei was a little too impulsive. Zhao Guang and Fu Xing, who were sitting at the door, glanced at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Wei Ba smiled disapprenously: "Zong's explanation of joining the army is detailed enough, why should I draw a snake?" If you don't understand something, why don't you ask Zong for advice. Zong has a lot of experience in joining the army, and I believe that he will definitely speak better than me. ”
Zhuge Qiao was also very dissatisfied with Yang Wei's approach. This is a business matter, how can your personal enmity be here, he snorted lightly and glanced at Yang Wei: "Yuan Xiu, if you have anything unclear, you can say it, Zong Senjun will explain it now, and it just so happens that we can listen to it together." ”
Yang Wei saw Zhuge Qiao helping Wei Ba speak, and he was even more annoyed in his heart. In the battle between Yang Yi and Wei Yan, although Prime Minister Zhuge behaved impartially, in fact, Prime Minister Zhuge still took care of Yang Yi's face most of the time, for example, the last time Cheng An was recruited into the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was to save face for Yang Yi. And now Zhuge Qiao is actually helping Wei Ba to speak, not only can not dissipate Yang Wei's anger, but it makes him have a tendency to burn more and more.
Yang Wei tried his best to make himself look calm and graceful, but his blue face and overly tight cheeks had already exposed his state of mind at the moment. Everyone else saw it, but they were unwilling to step forward to stop it. On the one hand, it is because Yang Wei's personality is the same as his father Yang Yi, he is not good, and Wei Ba's father and son are even more unprovoked murderers, and it is difficult to be a person between them. On the other hand, Zhuge Qiao embarked on a career and took power for the first time, whether he has this ability or not, whether he is worthy of loyalty, everyone is not clear, Yang Wei wants to jump out to challenge Wei Ba, it is a good opportunity to test him.
Of course, Zhuge Qiao also thought of this, and because of this, he was even more annoyed with Yang Wei. While Yang Wei tested Wei Ba, he also pushed him into an embarrassing situation. ―――――― the third more arrived, ask for recommendations, collections!
