Several heavy snowfalls fell in Guanzhong one after another, dripping into ice, the weather was so cold that it could freeze people's fingers, and the tragic battle in Guanzhong came to an abrupt end, whether it was the eastern battlefield that had been bloody for a long time, or the western battlefield where the war had just begun, they were forced to stop in the face of this sudden snow disaster.

The Shu Han army has some savings, and it is not too nervous, and it is only a matter of how to transport it. The situation of the Wei army was relatively more difficult, Zhang He led the army to withdraw to the north of Gaoping, and even the brothers Tian Fu and Tian Yi, who were about to enter Guanzhong, had to give up the sneak attack on Jihua in Guanzhong, and withdrew back with great difficulty. Emperor Zhang He asked for urgent transportation of grain and grass. If the grain and grass cannot be delivered in time, the army will face the pain of running out of food.

In the communication to the emperor, Zhang He confessed his mistakes and asked the emperor for his guilt. Cao Rui was also very sorry, but he didn't blame Zhang He, he said to Zhang He, withdraw or continue to wait for the fighter, you consider it yourself, don't worry about food and grass. I will do everything I can to solve the matter of food and grass, you don't have to worry. At the same time, he also expressed his condolences to the soldiers who went on the expedition, and he will do everything possible to send the rewarded materials to the camp.

Zhang He received the edict and burst into tears. Qin Lang, Tian Yu and all the Wei soldiers were also very moved, and they insisted on fighting and waiting for fighters.

Zhuge Liang also withdrew to Wangxian County at this time, and seized the time to transport grain and grass, and in view of the situation of heavy snowfall, he invented the sleigh according to Jiang Wei's suggestion, which greatly reduced the difficulty of grain transportation.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhuge Liang sat in the big tent, silently roasting the fire. Jiang Wei, Yang Yi and others sat around and didn't speak. No more than three glasses of wine. The dishes are just two flavors, this Chinese New Year's Eve is very frugal, and the unexpected stalemate of the battle situation is even more heavy.

Two hours ago, Zhuge Liang received an urgent report from Jiang Wan, knowing that at this moment, there would be a bloodless but crisis-filled contest in Quanling. Whether Jiang Wan can gain a foothold in Lingling and complete the task assigned by Zhuge Liang depends on the outcome of this contest tonight. The two places are thousands of miles apart, even if there is a result. Jiang Wan couldn't let Zhuge Liang know immediately. At least half a month to wait. Zhuge Liang was able to receive the news.

"Prime Minister, it seems that Wei Ba doesn't have the heart to come to Xiangyang at all." Yang Yi coughed, breaking the silence. He said to Fei Yi before. It's just a rhetoric. ”

Zhuge Liang glanced at him. Straighten up. said lightly: "These are all speculations, after all, it is my order not to let him come to Xiangyang to help." He doesn't come. There is nothing to blame. ”

Yang Yi nodded and moved towards Zhuge Liang, her voice low. "What the prime minister said is very true, but he has to guard against it. If Wei Ba didn't come just because he was ordered by the prime minister, then Gongyan would be able to successfully control the three counties in the south of the Yangtze River if he went to Lingling, and the logistics supply in the future would be guaranteed. If Wei Ba didn't come because he didn't want to come at all, then Gong Yan's trip would probably be ......."

Yang Yi didn't say any more, just looked at Zhuge Liang worriedly. Zhuge Liang stared at the flickering flames in the fire pit, but his eyes were a little gloomy. He didn't answer Yang Yi's words, and turned the wine glass in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.

Jiang Wei lowered his head, stared at the residual wine in the cup, and was silent. Huo Yi took the tongs and stirred the firewood in the fire pit to make the fire burn more vigorously. Outside, it was overcast, and it looked like it was going to snow again, and I didn't know what it was going to be like yet. As the prime minister's office, Huo Yi is most familiar with the official documents exchanged and the worries in the prime minister's heart, and what the prime minister has to worry about is not only whether Wei Ba is willing to come to Xiangyang, but also about Chengdu.

The prime minister was not in Chengdu, Jiang Wan went to Lingling again, but Li Yan returned to Chengdu. Before Zhuge Liang asked him to go back to Chengdu several times to supervise the transportation of grain and grass, he refused to go back, and now the prime minister no longer mentions this matter, but he suddenly took the initiative to return to Chengdu, the time is exactly two days after Jiang Wan left Chengdu, the intention of which is naturally self-evident.

There was a dead silence in the tent, except for the crackling of firewood.

……

Xiangguan, the lights are bright, and the voices are boiling. The barbarians in their new clothes looked at each other, greeted each other happily, and waited for the feast to begin. The big families who came from Lingling counties also greeted politely, politely and politely. Naturally, they kept a distance from the barbarian generals, dividing into several distinct camps.

But their mood is the same, they are all nervous in anticipation. Everyone knows that this year's Chinese New Year's Eve feast is different from previous years, and Fuyi General Wei Ba will have a new policy to launch, and whether he can seize this opportunity is a test for every family member.

Out of an unspoken consensus, Wei Ba received a large number of gifts, and the corridors were almost piled up. The front hall is crowded with people at the same time, the back hall is also crowded with ladies of all sizes, Xiahou Hui is surrounded by the stars and the moon, every gesture can cause a praise, as for the son who cries like a war drum and thunder, it is like a rare treasure in the hands of the ladies to pass around, in the little face was touched by I don't know how many people, I don't know how many pieces of jade ornaments and lintoe gold were stuffed in the swaddling clothes, the little guy finally couldn't help crying loudly, sure enough, it was like gold and jade, a blockbuster, some women lost their faces, It took a long time to regain his composure, and then he began to praise Jiangmen Huzi, this kid is the authentic heir of the peerless fierce general at a glance.

At sunset, Jiang Wan hurriedly walked through Xiangguan with Lai Wei and some other officials, and Wei Ba immediately announced the start of the dinner. Everyone took their seats, and Wei Ba sat in the center as a matter of course, with Liao Li on his left and Xiangfu on his right. Jiang Wan's position was under Liao Li, and below Xiangfu sat Zhu Wu, Tu Hu and other generals.

Seeing Liao Li, Jiang Wan hesitated. Liao Li has been in Quanling for a few days, and this is the first time they have met. Speaking of which, they haven't seen each other for some years, and they haven't seen each other since Liao Li was demoted to Wenshan.

"Gongyuan, don't come to harm?" Jiang Wan stepped forward and saluted. Now his status is not as good as Liao Li, of course, he has to take the initiative to come forward and salute.

"Gongyan, you've worked hard." Liao Li returned the salute, looked at Jiang Wan's face, and showed a faint smile: "Your face is not very good, are you too tired?" ”

"It's not surprising that it's hard to be shallow and hard." Jiang Wan smiled silently, took his seat, his eyes swept over the generals opposite, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly. Wei Ba wants to report on the distribution of land after the year at today's banquet, but in front of so many barbarian generals, how can this be divided. Jiang Wan already had a hunch that today's meal might not be peaceful.

Jiang Wan's worries were not wrong at all, after three rounds of drinking, and the relevant etiquette had just been practiced, someone stood up and loudly asked Wei Ba to announce the land distribution for next year. As soon as the Spring Festival is over, all localities will begin to prepare for spring ploughing, and how many fields can be allocated is now the most concerned issue for every soldier.

Wei Ba waved his hand, motioned for the general to sit down, turned his head, and smiled at Jiang Wan: "Mr. Gongyan, are you ready?" ”

Who sent Jiang Wan and what he was doing had already spread throughout Lingling in a short period of time, and the officials from Chengdu were silent about it, and no one was willing to show their attitude, so as not to offend any party. And those barbarian generals didn't have such concerns, in their opinion, this is the prime minister to seize the power of the Wei god general, which is tolerable, which is unbearable.

In an instant, countless fierce eyes focused on Jiang Wan's body.

Jiang Wan stood up, and in a trance there was a feeling of a martyr. He bowed and saluted Wei Ba: "General, I have prepared a plan, and I am about to submit it to the general for review. ”

Wei Ba smiled faintly: "That's great." While all the sages are here, let's discuss it together. Mr. Gongyan, please explain this plan in detail to everyone here, so that they can have a happy New Year. ”

Jiang Wan took the plan from Lai Wei and read it one by one. The polite words in front didn't cause much reaction, everyone knew that those things were official articles, even if those barbarian generals didn't understand it, they were not interested in asking questions.

But as soon as the official article arrived, Jiang Wan didn't say a few words, and Zhu Wu stood up and interrupted Jiang Wan's words. "Dare to ask Jiang to join the army, according to what you mean, is it going to divide the tribes that have settled in the mountains to the big households to make a trilogy?"

The lobby was originally very quiet, only Jiang Wan's voice, but now that Zhu Wu stood up, the lobby was even more silent, and everyone held their breath and refused to let go of a word.

Jiang Wan looked at Wei Ba, who was smiling and couldn't see any opinions. However, Zhu Wu was angry, obviously very dissatisfied with his plan just now.

"Yes." Jiang Wan nodded: "This is inherited from the old system of the prime minister's governance of Nanzhong." ”

"I don't care about the old system or the old and the new." Zhu Wu waved his arm vigorously and said loudly: "I only know that the tribes moved out of the mountains in response to the call of the god general, and to be the subordinates of the god general is to fight for the god general, not the tribe of some big clan." They hid in the mountains because they didn't want to be slaves and maids, and now you have divided them into the major tribes to make a trilogy, why should they go out of the mountains? Just go back to the mountains. ”

"Yes, if that's the case, let's go back to the mountains, and although we are poorer, we will be at ease." Tu Hu also stood up and shouted loudly. He pulled out his war knife and looked around: "If you want me Tu Hu to be his part, it's not impossible, first ask me if the war knife in my hand agrees." If anyone is as heroic as a god, I'll be happy to give you a stirrup. If not, hehe, then don't blame me for being ruthless so that you can't see the sunrise tomorrow. ”

"That's right, we are only subordinates of the gods, not all cats and dogs can lead us in battle." Dozens of lieutenants and lieutenants stood up with a "bang", and for a while, the hall was full of swords and murderous spirits, and the festive atmosphere of the New Year was swept away, as if a cold air poured in from the outside, instantly invading the muscles and bones, making people shudder.

Lai Na suddenly changed color...... (To be continued......)
