After defeating Tian Yu, the morale of the Shu Han army was greatly boosted, and they finally swept away the shadow brought by Cao Zhi's killing into the pass and traveling thousands of miles. More importantly, after defeating Tian Yu's living Liliang, the main force of the Wei army in Longyou was only left in Hao Zhao's department in Ji County, and when Ji County was conquered, the entire Longyou would be Shu Han's. The vision of Meihaode brought surging enthusiasm, and the entire Shu Han army camp was immersed in joy.

Jiang Wei thought the same way, and when he strode into Zhuge Liang's tent, he had a relieved smile on his face.

"Prime Minister, after this battle, half of Longyou has already started."

Zhuge Liang held a lamp in one hand and a pen in the other, standing in front of the map, his thin body was like a green bamboo in the wind, and his originally close-fitting cotton robe seemed to be hanging on a bamboo pole. He turned his head and glanced at Jiang Wei: "It's Boyo, how about the loss?" ”

"Minimally." Jiang Wei smiled, untied the war knife at his waist and hung it on Lan Qi on the side. "On the orders of the prime minister, he did not make any effort to stop the attack, so the casualties were not large, but the harvest was quite rich. The Wei army has already broken its guts and can no longer make trouble for us. ”

Zhuge Liang exhaled lightly: "It's not that I don't want to annihilate them all, it's just that after the last defeat, the army's morale is not solid, and there needs to be a victory to boost morale." If the loss is too great, it will inevitably affect morale. Boyo, you come and see this. ”

Jiang Wei put away his smile and picked up a document on the case, he only read half of it, and he couldn't help but be furious: "Prime Minister, Wei Ba is so bold, he actually dares to ......"

Jiang Wei was halfway through speaking, and saw Zhuge Liang's brows furrowed, and hurriedly swallowed back the words behind. He knew the meaning of Zhuge Liang's expression. This is often a sign that he is not getting the answers he was hoping for. In front of Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wei never dared to think of himself as an opponent who could discuss with each other like Ma Yan, but considered himself a student, and every inquiry from Zhuge Liang was an exam, not just a consultation.

"Prime Minister, could it be...... Is this allowed by the Prime Minister? ”

"Of course not." Zhuge Liang shook his head, his eyes revealing indescribable exhaustion. "It's just that the matter has come to an end, if you deal with him, the Nanyang war will definitely be abandoned halfway. Once Li Yan retreated from Nanyang......"

"Once Li Yan retreated from Nanyang. The main force of the Wei army will move back to Guanzhong. And our strategy of attacking Longyou may be affected. Jiang Wei continued, his face becoming more and more ugly: "So Wei Ba took advantage of this time to tell the prime minister, not so much that he admitted his mistake, but actually wanted to blackmail the prime minister." so that the prime minister could not dispose of him. Prime minister. It's a cut before a prelude. Sin is unforgivable. Moreover, if Li Yan conquers Nanyang, it will become more and more uncontrollable in the future. Above the court, it is divided into two, and the inside is uneasy, how to get rid of the outside? ”

"I know, I know." Zhuge Liang put down the pen, put down the lamp, and rubbed his brow gently, his loose skin squirming on his pale fingers. "However, if you can really take Nanyang, it will be very important to the great cause of reviving the Han Dynasty. If Jing Xiang can be controlled, not only can he threaten Wanluo, but also cover Yizhou, how good would it be? ”

Zhuge Liang raised his head and looked at Jiang Wei, with pain, struggle, anger, and helplessness in his eyes. Jiang Wei saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but feel soft, and his nose was sour: "Prime Minister, but in this way, not only Li Yan is big, but Wei Ba will also taste the marrow, and he doesn't know what kind of thing to do in the future, so what can he do?" ”

"Wei Ba is bold, but if he hadn't been bold back then, how could we have been closed? If I lose the opportunity to seize Nanyang in vain in order to punish him today, how can I explain it to the first emperor when I go to see him in the future? Zhuge Liang sighed: "This matter, it is also my fault, if I had kept him by my side and taught him more, I would not have let him go to today's evil road." ”

Jiang Wei's eyes narrowed, and he laughed silently: "The prime minister has good intentions, but I'm afraid that Wei Ba may not appreciate it." He pleaded guilty to the prime minister at this time, probably because he saw through the prime minister's weighing of the pros and cons, and would not expose his conspiracy. But isn't the prime minister afraid that he will intensify and go further and further on this road? ”

"That's why I want you to grow up as soon as possible." Zhuge Liang turned his head and stared at Jiang Wei's eyes, although his voice was not loud, he said a thousand words: "Internal and external troubles, such as Shu Road for thousands of miles, difficulties and obstacles, and so on." I am already over half a hundred years old, and I don't know when I will follow the first emperor, and the next heavy responsibility will fall on you young people. Boyo, Wei Ba has more than enough talent, but not enough virtue, if someone can control it, it is a good material, if no one can control it, it is enough to bring disaster to the country. Can you take on this responsibility, Beryo? ”

Jiang Wei was awe-struck, took a step back, knelt on one leg and said loudly: "I am willing to work for the prime minister." ”

"Wrong." Zhuge Liang sighed and said: "You should do your best for the Han and die." ”

"Oh, I am willing to do my best for the Han and die."

"Get up, and listen to me tell you what is at stake." Zhuge Liang beckoned, called Jiang Wei to him, and analyzed them one by one.

……

Wei Yan looked at Xie Guanglong in front of him, his majestic gaze swept up and down twice, and asked in a deep voice, "You are not in Chang'an, why did you come here?" ”

Xie Guanglong arched his hand and smiled slightly: "I came here on the order of Ma Changshi." ”

"Ma Changshi?" Wei Wei was puzzled for a moment: "What did he say, he actually wanted you to come to Longyou thousands of miles away?" ”

"It's because of a letter from General Zhennan." Xie Guanglong paused, and then said, "It's because of a letter written by General Zhennan to the prime minister." ”

Wei Yan's brows twisted into pimples. Wei Ba wrote a letter to the prime minister, but Ma Jian sent Xie Guanglong to come all the way to Longyou, hide his identity, and quietly enter his camp, which is really weird. He knew that there was some unclear relationship between Wei Ba and Ma Yan, but to be honest, he couldn't figure out what the two of them were doing.

He believed in Wei Ba, but he didn't believe in Ma Jian so much.

Ma Changshi said that General Zhennan is assisting the hussar general to attack Nanyang, and if it goes well, it is possible to recover Jingxiang, which is a matter of great importance and cannot be lost. However, General Zhennan's troops are insufficient, and his troops are divided into two places, so I am afraid it will be difficult to make contributions. Therefore, he wanted to transfer the elite troops left by the general in Chang'an to General Zhennan to help him make meritorious contributions, and ordered the general Deng Bomiao to go out of Shangluo, attack Wuguan with General Zhennan, and recover Wuguan Road. ”

Wei Yan's eyes flashed, and he snorted, but he didn't say anything. Before Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, he was the general of Zhenbei, the governor of Guanzhong, and the first person in charge of Guanzhong, and Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi were all auxiliary to him. Later, Ma Jian came, Ren Zhenbei General Changshi, took away part of his power, and now he follows the prime minister to fight, Chang'an has been handed over to Ma Jian to be responsible, but he still left two thousand parts in Chang'an, although it is not an elite like a martial artist, but it is his liliang. If Ma Jian took all these people away, then the Chang'an area would be out of control, and all of them would become Ma Tan's world.

Wei Yan suspected that Ma Yan had ulterior motives in doing this, and I am afraid that it was not as simple as just supporting Wei Ba. He was a little annoyed, he couldn't see Ma Jian clearly, because Wei Ba had never explicitly said to him about the relationship between him and Ma Tan. Speaking of which, their father and son haven't seen each other for several years.

Wei Yan pondered for a long time, and Xie Guanglong had been standing quietly, without a hint of impatience on his face.

Wei Wu walked in from the outside, breaking the silence in the tent, he opened his mouth, and was about to speak, when he saw Xie Guanglong at a glance, he couldn't help but smile: "Hey, I heard that you are also from the Sword Sect?" ”

Xie Guanglong bowed and saluted, and said with a smile: "The young general said yes, could it be that he has seen other sword sects?" ”

"Uh-huh." Wei Wu smiled: "The last time I went back to Chengdu, I heard my sister-in-law say that Dunwu's mother-in-law is from the Shushan Sword Sect, which sounds very mysterious." You're not going to be with her, are you? ”

Xie Guanglong glanced at Wei Yan and said with a smile: "The Shushan Sword Sect is like a forest, and the disciples are even more like stars. However, even if it is the same door, there are people who follow different masters, and they will not be treated differently because of the same door. ”

Wei Wu smiled: "You rangers, it's strange, for the sake of loyalty, you don't care about the righteousness of the door. But that's right, otherwise, Ma Changshi wouldn't dare to use you. ”

Xie Guanglong smiled and was noncommittal.

Wei Yan's eyes flashed: "You are the same as the woman surnamed Han?" ”

"Possibly."

"I see." Wei Yan waved his hand: "I'm not in Chang'an, Ma Changshi can arrange it however he wants." Since my son believes in him, I believe in him. ”

Xie Guanglong smiled, arched his hand, and turned to leave. Wei Yan looked at Xie Guanglong's straight back, and didn't know what he muttered. He turned to Wei Wu and said, "What's the matter with you?" ”

"Nothing." Wei Wu sank his face: "What does the prime minister mean, transferring our father and son from Chang'an, not only did he not give the opportunity to lead other departments, but he didn't even have the opportunity to take the lead, but let Wang Ping, the illiterate man, go out of the battle, and let him lead the camp?" ”

"Shut up!" Wei Yan snorted, but his face became gloomy. Zhuge Liang fought this battle beautifully, but he had nothing to do with him, which really made him a little uncomfortable. However, although he himself was open-mouthed, he did not think that Wei Wu was qualified to make irresponsible remarks lightly, especially the one who accused the prime minister.

Wei Yan thought for a moment: "Do you really want to fight?" ”

"Hmm." Wei Wu replied aggrievedly.

"Then I'll go and ask the prime minister for instructions, you go to Ziyu. There must be a war going on there. ”

"Okay." Wei Wumei smiled, and then scratched his head again: "Then I'm leaving, what should I do here, Daddy, there is no caring person......"

"Lao Tzu is not old enough to ask you to take care of me, and besides, I still have hundreds of soldiers by my side, can I not be as good as you as a little erector?" Wei Yan raised his hand and patted the back of Wei Wu's head, and said with a smile: "Go to Ziyu, you learn by heart, although Ziyu is not as good as me in the art of war, he is much better at teaching students than me." ”

Wei Wu rolled his eyes and was speechless
