This is certainly not a situation that Li Yan wants to see.

Li Yan can't stand still. If he wants to break through this dilemma, he needs Wei Ba's help.

This was the real purpose of him sending Li Feng to Jiaozhou to meet Wei Ba.

According to the Han-Wu alliance plan finally agreed by Zhuge Liang, after the Han and Wu destroyed Wei, the world was divided, and Yangyu Chongqingxu in the east of Jingzhou went all the way to Jizhou and Youzhou in the north, a total of six states, all of which were the territory of Wu, and Jingzhou was the eastern boundary of Shu Han. If this alliance is not broken, Li Yan will have no chance to make meritorious contributions, and if he wants to use his troops to make meritorious contributions, he can only raise his sword to his ally Wu State.

If he wants to turn his face with Wu Guo, Li Yan must get the help of Wei Ba. Obviously, Zhuge Liang would not give him this opportunity, if he forcibly launched a war against Wu, it would not only be opposed by Zhuge Liang, but it would also be difficult to get sufficient supplies of various materials. Zhuge Liang has a lot to do with Hanzhong, and he also holds most of the power in Yizhou, can he let Li Yan get a piece of the pie?

Who can Li Yan rely on? In addition to Meng Da, who guards Nanyang, he can rely on Wei Ba. And Wei Ba is the person who makes Wu Guojunchen the most concerned - there is no one. The scene of more than a thousand thunderbolts roaring in unison outside Wancheng not only knocked Sima Yi away, but also made Sun Quan tremble. Yes, until they solve the problem of making stone bullets and pottery bullets, no one will want to meet Wei Ba head-on on the battlefield.

Everyone knows that for people like Wei Ba, it is not enough not to be an enemy with him, it is better to be friends with him. Li Yan had this in mind, and sent Li Feng to Jiaozhou all the way to get close to Wei Ba, as long as Wei Ba nodded. He was willing to risk tearing his face with Zhuge Liang to protect Wei Ba.

Anyway, there is no way to have both of them between him and Zhuge Liang, if he can bring the relationship closer to Wei Ba because of this, why not?

It's a pity that Wei Ba never let go, he pretended to be deaf and dumb about Li Feng's hints, and ignored them at all.

Li Feng was very depressed, and even a little angry. The sea breeze was pleasant, but he felt a little restless.

Seeing that the two were about to talk about it again, Fa Miao stood up in time, pulled Li Feng's arm and said with a smile: "The general has been fighting for a long time. It's rare to be reunited with your family. Major General. Don't bother the general here, come with me, I'll take you to Zhuguan to have a look, when you go back to Chengdu. It's good to take some back to honor your mother. ”

Hepu's most famous specialty is pearls. The so-called "Yingqi bronze mirror." "Diameter and inch Hepu Zhu", are rare things, come to Hepu. Of course, you have to bring some pearls back and give them away. However, Li Feng is actually in no mood to pay attention to pearls now, and it is more important for him to confirm with Wei Ba. Fa Miao squeezed his eyes at him, and Li Feng reluctantly followed.

The two walked more than a hundred steps and left Wei Ba's sight, Li Feng immediately grabbed Fa Miao's arm with his backhand and begged: "Boyuan, what does the general mean, is he worried about the sincerity of my father and son?" I've all come here from Chengdu, isn't that enough? ”

"Major General, it's not that the general doesn't believe in the hussar general's sincerity, he needs a little time." Fa Miao lowered his voice and said softly: "You don't know how much General Zhennan paid last year in order to help the hussar general win this battle, right?" ”

Li Feng rolled his eyes and looked at Fa Miao, as if he understood a little. Wei Ba doesn't see a rabbit or an eagle, he has to see the reward result of the Battle of Nanyang before he agrees to shoot again? If you say that, that's understandable. It's the same as doing business, the first time the account is not settled, who wants to do business with you a second time?

"Boyuan, it's not that you don't know, my father has already been prepared, and the military merit book has already been sent to the palace, isn't Bixia going to discuss with the prime minister, so it's delayed?"

Fa Miao smiled. Although Li Feng is not smart enough, he still understands this rule. He shook his head and pretended to be displeased and said, "Major General, you misunderstood what I meant. Haven't you seen anything along the way? ”

Li Feng was confused, he really didn't understand what Fa Miao was talking about. He rushed from Jiangzhou to Hepu, and after entering the jurisdiction of Weiba, what he saw the most was the spring ploughing scene, everywhere he saw, there were farmers busy in the fields, and there was water conservancy everywhere, especially the kind of tall waterwheel, which was transported by water power without human operation, and the river water was continuously raised to a high place without human operation, which really made Li Feng sigh with emotion.

But what else is the problem?

"The young general seems to be less and more separated from the hussar general, and I don't know how dangerous the battle was last year." Fa Miao smiled and pointed at Li Feng, with a familiar and informal affection. Although Li Feng didn't like it, at this moment, it was not easy to deal with Fa Miao, so he had to accompany the smiling face and humbly ask for advice. "Major General, the battlefield is dangerous, we won't talk about it. At the beginning, General Zhennan and General Hussar said haode, 50,000 troops, half a year's food, but think about it, how many people did General Zuihou Hussar command? ”

Li Feng blinked, as if he understood.

"Not to mention Ma Tan's men and horses, more than 20,000 people have been arrested just by the soldiers, and these people all need to eat." Fa Miao said with palpitations: "Do you know how tight the food is in Zuihou? Liao Li personally led people to intercept merchant ships here, and all the grain was detained, not a single one was left, and all of them were transported to the front line. Major General, in order to support the hussar generals to win this battle, we have swept all the warehouses clean. ”

Li Feng nodded again and again: "I know this, my father will not forget it." ”

"Whether you take credit or not, that's another matter, and it's never too late to talk about it later. If you don't believe in the hussar general's character, General Zhennan won't do it. Fa Miao continued: "After the war, the reserves are all gone, and now don't talk about sending troops, even the defense is stretched. The most important thing now is spring ploughing, and spring planting can be harvested in autumn, otherwise this year's grain gap will be amazing, and no one will be able to fill it. ”

It was only at this time that Li Feng suddenly realized. sighed that Wei Ba has no food left now. It's the same thing, no matter what you do, you have to eat, and you can't do anything without food.

"Young General, you go back and tell the hussar general that after the First Battle of Nanyang, the three kingdoms of Han, Wei and Wu are tired, and there will be no big war in a short time. Do you see that after the victory in Kunyang, did the state of Wu advance north? They can't move either. As for the prime minister, his situation can't be sent anywhere, whether it is the grain reserves in Guanzhong or the war horses in Liangzhou, there are not two years, and the prime minister does not want to start a large army to conquer again. Therefore, in two years, the world will be relatively peaceful, and everyone needs time to catch their breath. ”

Li Feng laughed, patted his chest, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now what their father and son are most worried about is that Zhuge Liang will make great contributions and overpower them, since it is impossible for Zhuge Liang to send troops in a short time, then he is not in such a hurry, and there is time to talk slowly.

Fa Miao led Li Feng into Xu Wencheng, came to Zhuguan, prepared some pearls for Li Feng, and invited Li Feng to eat a Jiaozhou-style snack, Zuihou said: "Major General, I have been in the Hussar General's Mansion for a few days, although I have not made any achievements, but I still know the hussar general and the young general's behavior." There are no outsiders here, I want to say a word to you, I don't know if it's okay? ”

Li Feng hurriedly said, "Please advise." ”

"Major General, you should know that since General Zhennan dares to write a letter for self-impeachment, he must have means of self-protection." Fa Miao also put away his smile, dipped his fingers in some wine, and drew casually on the case, Li Feng didn't dare to blink his eyes, staring at Fa Miao's every move, hoping to see something from it. "General Zhennan did this, firstly, to put things on the bright side, so as to prevent future troubles, and secondly, to see the hearts of the people in the world and recognize who is a friend and who is an enemy. He has no other benefits, but this grievance is needless to say. ”

"That's that, that's." Li Feng understood and nodded again and again.

"Ask the major general to report back to the hussar general, Han and Wu to carve up the world, after all, it is only an expedient measure. There is no other day, and when the Wei State is destroyed, if the king of Wu refuses to bow down and be a minister, then he can only hold the drum and then fight the battlefield. We know this, and the monarchs and ministers of Wu are also clear, so the hussar generals do not have no opportunities for meritorious service, but have a lot of opportunities. Fa Miao raised his head and looked at Li Feng with a smile. Wu is better than Wei, right? This time the hussar general can be the last to strike, the next time weishenme can't? I believe that as long as the hussar general opens his mind, there will be not only General Zhennan, but also many people who are willing to obey the hussar general's drive. The hussar general now has to think about not the war in a few years, but the Nanyang war that has just been taken over, do you think this is the truth? ”

Li Feng finally let go of Zuihou's worries a little, and pretended to be a bold daxiao. "Boyuan, it seems that it was my father's biggest mistake to let you leave the Hussar General's Mansion in the first place. If there is a brain like you, where do you need me to work so hard. ”

Fa Miao smiled: "The young general is falsely praised, and he is ashamed." ”

Li Feng was satisfied, hahadaxiao.

……

Fa Miao sent Li Feng back to the post house, returned to the camp, and went straight to Wei Ba's study. Wei Ba was playing with Xiao Wei Zheng, Peng Heng was sitting opposite him, looking at it with a smile, Chen Ming was holding the sword, waiting under the porch outside, and when he saw Fa Miao coming in, Chen Ming gestured with his jaw.

Fa Miao returned the salute and found a place to sit down.

"General, it's all right."

"Oh." Wei Ba hugged his arms, watched Xiao Wei Zheng fiddle with his beloved toys, and asked without raising his head, "What do you think of this person?" ”

"The ability is not big, and the ambition is not small."

"Is that a good thing or a bad thing?"

"It's a good thing for the general."

Wei Ba raised his head, glanced at Fa Miao, and smiled slightly. He straightened up, patted his leg, turned his face to Peng Heng and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll rest assured, you go to the South China Sea, Yinbo has also been there for several months, it's time to come back and do business." ”

Peng Heng nodded, but didn't move, just looked at Wei Ba. Wei Ba frowned and sank his face: "What, you still don't worry about me?" ”

Peng Heng shook his head: "How dare I not worry about the general." It's just that my parents died, and I only have such a sister, and I can't be absent from her marriage, right? ”

"Why, now that you remember that your eldest brother is like a father?" Wei Ba sneered and waved his hand: "Don't think about this, your uncle is still waiting to sit at the table." ”

Peng Heng smacked his lips in embarrassment and got up to leave. When he went out, Wei Ba said again: "Don't worry, I'll wait for you to come back." ”

Peng Heng paused, and his steps suddenly became much easier
