Zhuge Liang returned to Chengdu, but in fact, he only did two things: the first thing was to live in the palace and talk to Bixia Liu Chan every day; The second thing was to recruit Wei Yan into the palace in the name of the emperor and have a long talk. No one knows what they talked about, but after Wei Yan left the palace, he sent someone to the General's Mansion to withdraw from the marriage, and stood on the side of the Prime Minister's Mansion with a clear banner.

These two events completely disrupted Li Yan and Ma Yan's jihua. The first thing is still expected, after all, the purpose of Zhuge Liang's return is to control the emperor and take back the right to endorse from Li Yan's hands, Li Yan has been prepared for this, but he didn't expect Zhuge Liang to live directly in the palace, and he didn't give him the right to meet Bixia alone at all.

The second thing was an accident. Zhuge Liang drove Wei Yan back from Guanzhong and quietly deprived him of his military power, Wei Yan was very annoyed, thinking that he would never stand with Zhuge Liang again, who would have thought that Zhuge Liang would only meet him once, so he won him over again.

Wei Yan himself is not important, but he is Wei Ba's father. If he stood on Zhuge Liang's side with a clear attitude, then Li Yan might face the danger of losing Wei Ba's support. No matter how much Wei Ba himself has ideas, he is not a head-on enemy of Wei Yan, filial piety is the essence and foundation of Confucian culture, and no one dares to do unfilial things easily.

What's more, Zhuge Liang still occupies the moral high ground, and if Wei Ba opposes him, he will not only be unfilial, but also disloyal.

This crime is unimaginably heavy, and even Wei Ba can't afford it. If Li Feng wanted to force Wei Ba to do such a thing, he would become a heinous villain.

Facing this situation. Li Yan was helpless, so he had to write to Li Feng, asking him to find out Wei Ba's psychology as soon as possible, and urging him to take a firm stand and not be swayed by Zhuge Liang.

If Wei Ba had wavered a little just now, then Li Feng would not have persuaded him to enter Chengdu, but persuaded him not to go to Chengdu. Since Wei Ba decided to go to Chengdu to fight Zhuge Liang, his request to meet with the generals of the Jingxiang Water Division could also be accepted.

The discussion of the war in Liaodong was nominally to discuss with Li Feng, but in fact it was to discuss with the generals of the Jingxiang Water Division. And Jing Xiangshui is now Li Feng's subordinate. Li Feng didn't nod. Wei Ba can't act on his own. If it weren't for the fact that he urgently needed Wei Ba's help now, Li Feng would not have easily let Wei Ba come into contact with those people. This is also a request for others, and I have to make concessions.

……

Feng Jin and Fu Xing stood side by side on the pier that almost stretched to the middle of the river, raising their heads. Looking at the majestic warship like a mountain. I can't help but feel awe.

Zhuge Dan stood on the side. looked at Feng Jin and Fu Xing with a smile, and stretched out his hand to invite. After the war in October ended, he and Xiahou Xuan stayed in Yuzhang together. It was not until Sun Quan agreed to Wei Ba's request to "lease" the Yuzhang Shipyard to Wei Ba, and let Zhang Wen serve as the ship's supervisor of the Yuzhang Shipyard, that the matter was over, and he led a part of the sailors to transfer from Poyang Lake to Dongting Lake. This time, Wei Ba was going west, and he led the sailors to escort him, and his ship temporarily served as Wei Ba's flagship.

He enjoyed the envious gaze of Feng Jin and the others very much. He also knew that Feng Jin and Fu Xing were originally more qualified to hold this position than him, but it was only because of chance that he could stand here and welcome Feng Jin and the others as the master.

"Generals, come up, the general is waiting in the cabin."

Feng Jin and Fu Xing exchanged a helpless look, and were about to give in, when an angry scolding came from above their heads: "Feng Wenju, Fu Zhongjian, you guys are rubbing a fart, do you have to pick it up in person to be satisfied?" ”

Before the words fell, Wei Ba's face appeared on the sideboard, he glared at Feng Jin and the others, and was about to scold two more words, when he suddenly saw a fresh face standing beside Fu Xing, and quickly took the words back, put away his smile, and arched his hand: "This general is ......"

Fu Xing hurriedly introduced: "This is my brother Fu Yan, who is now the official general Huwei, and he is also stationed in Jiangling. ”

Wei Ba suddenly realized. He had heard Fu Xing say before that Fu Yan had been stationed in Jiangzhou with Li Yan and was one of Li Yan's subordinates. Now that Li Feng is stationed in Nanjun, it is not surprising that he will be sent to Jiangling to assist Li Feng.

"It turned out to be an uncle's brother, I have heard of the name for a long time, and today is the meeting, and I am fortunate to meet." Wei Ba opened the guardrail, took a step outward, hung half a foot in the air, and saluted Fu Yan with a fist. "I didn't know that Brother Bo was here just now, and it was rude, so please Haihan."

Fu Yan didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly returned the salute. In terms of military position, he is several levels worse than Wei Ba, and in terms of identity, he is not higher than Wei Ba, and he is not qualified to compete with Wei Ba.

"The general is polite, and he is very grateful that his brother can be so close to the general. If it weren't for the help of the general's father and son, his younger brother would not be where he is today. I am ashamed that I have not been able to thank you in person. ”

"Haha......" Wei Ba daxiao, inviting them to get on the boat, and when Fu Yan walked in front of him, he grabbed Fu Yan's arm, dragged him onto the boat, and then walked side by side towards the cabin. If you want to talk about what happened back then, Zhong Jian is my benefactor, if he hadn't helped, God knows what would have happened to Zuihou. ”

Fu Yan was a little unaccustomed to Wei Ba's intimacy, but it was difficult to push Wei Ba away, so he had to follow Wei Ba into the cabin. Feng Jin and Fu Xing followed behind, and they had Zhuge Festival reception. Zhuge Dan can speak well, and his witty words are full of witty words, and Feng Fu and the others are overwhelmed.

After a while, Li Feng also came with people, and saw Wei Ba sitting in the middle of the seat, talking to Fu Yan and the others, leaning forward and back, and couldn't help but be stunned. He originally thought that of course he wanted to appear as Wei Ba to show his dignity, so he deliberately delayed for a while, not wanting to lose his identity in front of Wei Ba, but he didn't expect Wei Ba to appear a long time ago, and he was so happy with a group of generals whose official positions were not as good as his own. Where is this dignified general Zhennan, looking at what the person who wants to be crowned king should look like.

"Major General, you're late." Wei Ba grabbed Li Feng, pressed him on the table affectionately, and said with a smile: "You should be punished with three glasses of wine." ”

"I admit punishment." Li Feng entered the table with a reserved smile and said, "But you have to tell me, what did you all say, and you said it so happily." ”

"What else can I say." Wei Ba asked people to pour wine for Li Feng and said with a smile: "Just now I talked about the war in Liaodong, everyone is happy, and they are discussing who will lead the troops. ”

Li Feng was shocked, and his heartbeat was a little faster: "Then have you discussed it?" ”

"It's settled."

"Who?"

"Guess."

Li Feng looked at Wei Ba crying and laughing, such an important matter in his heart, should you think it was child's play, and you guessed. He hesitated for a moment: "The general on his own?" ”

Wei Ba shrugged: "I'm used to the sunshine of Jiaozhou, and I'm not interested in Liaodong." ”

"That'...... Xiahou Taichu? ”

"He will definitely go, but he can't afford such a heavy task, so he can only be a partial general."

Li Feng was completely confused. "That'...... Who else? ”

"Far away, close at hand."

Li Feng was inexplicable, there were just a few people in front of him, who else was he just saying, could it be Feng Jin? Wei Ba, is this going to dig into the corner?

"Major General, yourself." Wei Baxiao said: "To conquer Liaodong, not only to requisition the Jiaozhou Naval Division, but also to the Xiangyang Naval Division, and perhaps to requisition the Wu National Naval Division, plus the foot soldiers, the army is no less than 100,000, except for the major general, who else can afford such a heavy responsibility?" Do you have to let the general go out in person? ”

Li Feng's brain buzzed, and he was suddenly stunned by the sudden happiness. Wei Ba wants to give him such a haode thing?

Li Feng looked at Wei Ba in a daze, Wei Ba laughed dryly, leaned into Li Feng's ear and said, "Young General, it's not that I think about it, it's really ...... The rafters at the beginning rot first, and instead of letting me rot first, it is better to drag the young general to rot together. ”

Li Feng burst out laughing, but the doubts in his heart disappeared because of Wei Ba's extremely vulgar words. It's not that Wei Ba doesn't want to make meritorious contributions himself, he is afraid that his merits will be high, so he wants to drag Li Feng with him, this mood is understandable, they are indeed in the same boat now, and they must be in the same boat.

Li Feng's heart was relieved, and he looked very easy-going, glaring at Wei Ba: "Then you can't drag me into the water, how can I afford such a big war." ”

"Afraid of what?" Wei Ba's eyes rolled: "You ask them, who is not willing to go on the expedition with the young general?" ”

Feng Jin and the others stood up with a sigh, bowed their fists, and shouted in unison: "We are willing to follow the young general, seek peace with Liaodong, and restore the Central Plains." ”

Li Feng was startled, and then his heart was overjoyed. He looked at Wei Ba with satisfaction and gave him a look that you understand.

"Then tell me what Jihua is like, and if it is feasible, I will report it to the general and ask him for approval."

Wei Ba nodded, let people spread out the map, and pointed to Zhuge Dan again: "Gongxiu, you tell our Jihua to the major general, and ask him to review it first." Generals, if you have any opinions, you may put them forward for discussion at any time. ”

"Whoa." Feng Jin and the others responded loudly.

Zhuge stood up, pointed to the map, and talked about the preparations.

Wei Ba's Jihua is magnificent. The Jiaozhou Naval Division is just a part of the army to be called, in addition, he will also requisition the Wu State Naval Division, the Xiangyang Naval Division, and also a part of the Wu State foot soldiers, the total number of the army will reach more than 100,000 people, and there will be nearly 1,000 large and small warships.

Looking at those numbers, Li Feng felt his heart beat fast, as if he had boarded the majestic battleship, Liaodong trembled under his feet, Gongsun Yuan was dressed in white, with a rope tied around his neck, prostrate in front of him, unable to even speak. On the other side of the sea, Cao Rui looked at his tall back with a pale face.

"How long does it take to prepare for such a large scale?"

"If you don't have less, you can't do less, and it will take two years." Wei Ba said: "The most important of them is the warship, which has to fight across the sea, and it is the major general's personal expedition, and I plan to build a bigger warship for the major general." In addition, it is necessary to prepare sufficient food, grass, and ordnance for the 100,000-strong army, which is a 10,000-mile expedition, and there can be no carelessness. ”

Li Feng also woke up from the excitement and felt his scalp tingle for the huge amount of preparations. How many talents, financial resources, and material resources must be gathered, and fighting a war is not a simple matter, and you have to ask for money to make a move.

"I have a way to solve people, ships and ordnance, but there is one thing that cannot be solved by a major general." …… (To be continued......)
