Chapter 068: Ascending the Throne (Second Update, Asking for Recommendation)
"To the three eastern counties?" Wei Yan tugged at the short beard under his chin, and his eyes were a little puzzled: "Zhuge Qiao? ”
Wei Ba nodded, but he didn't say anything, he had already told his father about Zhuge Qiao's coming to him, and also told him about recommending Zhao Guang and Fu Xing, but he didn't explain Weishenme. If you let Daddy know that he has the heart to fight against Zhuge Cheng now, God knows how Daddy will react.
Wei Yan didn't realize what his son was thinking at all, and he was a little confused by Zhuge Liang's appointment.
If the three eastern counties are important, then a heavy general should be sent, Zhuge Qiao has never fought at all, and only 5,000 people have been arranged, what can it do? There are more than 4,000 tribes in the three eastern counties alone, and Meng Da himself has been fighting for nearly 20 years, how can Zhuge Qiao be able to deal with it?
If the three eastern counties are not important, then it is impossible to say, everyone knows that the three eastern counties are the gateway to Hanzhong, and the recovery of the three eastern counties is of immeasurable significance to the security of Hanzhong.
"The prime minister's arrangement is really unexpected." Wei Yan thought about it, but he still couldn't figure it out, so he could only sigh half-truthfully.
The corners of Wei Ba's mouth twitched, and then he returned to solemnity. Although he didn't fully understand the purpose of Zhuge Liang's arrangement, he could vaguely guess that it was not entirely military significance, but also mixed with a lot of political significance.
It seems that there is this characteristic throughout the ages, most of those who have outstanding military points are political idiots, and while they are invincible on the battlefield, they are often defeated in the court, and there are very few masters like Wang Qian.
"Although joining the army is not a high-ranking position, being able to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion to do things is itself a cultivation of the Prime Minister. You have to be careful and don't be as presumptuous as before. ”
Since Wei Yan didn't understand it, he simply didn't think about it, and taught Wei Ba a serious lesson, which made Wei Ba cry and laugh. You also understand these truths, why can't you do it yourself, just like a Marxist flashlight, you don't see yourself according to others. However, looking at the always majestic and ruthless father chattering like a broken-mouthed mother-in-law, Wei Ba's heart was warm, so he didn't care about his father's dogmatism, and agreed one by one.
"Since you are in the army, don't bring the maidservant, there is a woman in the ...... After all, it hurts morale. Wei Wei was suspicious for a moment, as if he felt that the little maid with a big blue spot didn't seem to have much to do with beauty, but he still suggested that Wei Ba leave Peng Xiaoyu behind, and the daily affairs of Dunwu and them would do it for them in the future. In order to ensure Wei Ba's safety, Wei Yan personally selected twenty elite guards and handed them over to Dunwu, and took special care of them before giving up.
"Daddy, I want to stop by the manor."
"What are you doing back to the manor? Homesick? ”
"The expedition is imminent, and I want to go back to meet my mother." Wei Ba smiled and said to Wei Feng again: "Big brother, do you have anything to bring to your mother?" ”
Wei Feng touched his head and said with a sincere smile: "I don't have anything to say, just help me ask her how the old man is." ”
"Okay. There is one thing, I want to ask the eldest brother for help. Wei Ba said: "During the time I am not in the camp, Peng Xiaoyu will follow you, don't let people bully her." ”
Wei Yan looked at Wei Ba in surprise, and reproached dissatisfiedly: "A servant girl, is it worth your caution?" Ziyu, I find that you are really a little indifferent now. A husband should put merit first, how can he think of a woman, let alone a servant. ”
Wei Ba smiled and didn't explain, he believed that his eldest brother Wei Feng would take care of Peng Xiaoyu for him. In fact, the three brothers are not the same as their father, their father and Peng Xiaoyu have little contact, in his eyes, Peng Xiaoyu is just a maid. In the eyes of Wei Feng and Wei Wu, Peng Xiaoyu is still a woman with a poor background, and in the eyes of Wei Ba, Peng Xiaoyu is even more of a half-strategist, and it is not as simple as a maidservant.
Back in his camp, Peng Xiaoyu had already packed his bags and put them aside neatly. Wei Ba told Peng Xiaoyu about his arrangement, Peng Xiaoyu looked at him quietly, didn't say anything, just hummed, then lowered his head and fiddled with his clothes.
"Okay, my eldest brother is actually better than me, and you are relieved from now on." Wei Ba smiled deliberately, "Maybe when I come back, you won't want to be my maid anymore." ”
Peng Xiaoyu said faintly: "Young Master Feng is a good person. ”
Wei Ba rolled his eyes and didn't answer her words. He had received countless good guy cards in his previous life, and of course he knew that the word "good guy" had different meanings on different occasions. Peng Xiaoyu's words may not have much emotional component, but she did point out Wei Feng's character weaknesses: he is loyal, but he doesn't know the power changes, to put it ugly, he doesn't even have the domineering spirit of his father.
……
The next day, the appointment letter of the Prime Minister's Mansion was sent to the Wei family camp, and Wei Ba was appointed to join the army for the Prime Minister's Mansion, and his full name was to participate in the Prime Minister's Military, which belonged to the seventh rank according to the unwritten grade. is two grades lower than the former military division concurrently served by his father, and is on par with Yang Yi, Ma Jian and others. Of course, this is only in words, in terms of qualifications, Wei Ba and those people cannot be compared, similarly, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, it is not purely based on grade, different people hold the same position, but the power is completely different.
Wei Ba's specific task is to assist Zhuge Qiao, responsible for the collection and transportation of grain and grass for Zhuge Qiao's army, which is considered logistics work, the work task is not heavy, and there is no need to bring troops to the front line, and the danger is low. This is also a factor that takes into account that he did not really lead troops. Wei Ba had already expected this, and there was no surprise. He has been doing this for half a year by his father's side, and he is familiar with it.
Compared with him, Zhao Guang and Fu Xing, who had experience in leading troops, took on more important tasks, Fu Xing originally had more than 200 parts, and this time Zhuge Liang allocated another 200 people to him, making him a real captain. Zhao Guang was also assigned more than 200 people to a song, responsible for logistics and transportation, which can be regarded as docking with Wei Ba.
Among the more than ten staff officers and captains led by Zhuge Qiao, eleven of them are the sons of Jingxiang Wenchen's military generals, and there is only one elk Wei who is really not a Jingxiang person except for Zhao Guang. Elway is the son of Elk Zhu, because Elfang surrendered to Jiangdong, Elk Zhu died in shame, and the current head of the Elk family is Elwei. Although Lu Zhu has followed Liu Bei for many years and has been a general of An Han, he has no military exploits and has not been crowned a marquis, so Lu Wei has no title to inherit, and now he is only an empty captain, with only more than 100 old pawns under him, which looks very desolate.
Elk Wei was arranged to be Zhao Guang's deputy, and it seemed that his identity was similar to Wei Ba, but when he thought of Wei Ba's position in the army, Elk Wei was too far behind. Even Zhao Guang, who seemed to be the commander of the baggage battalion, was a cut below Wei Ba, who joined the army without troops.
The army sailed down the river and arrived at Anyang County, on the western border of Weixing County. With a boat to travel, it is much easier for the soldiers and soldiers to transport grain and grass. The main general Zhuge Qiao is on a medium-sized warship, which is not public, but in the fleet of most transport ships, no matter how unassuming it is, it is enough to make people feel that Zhuge Qiao is different.
After the fleet began to set off, Wei Ba boarded Zhuge Qiao's warship, and Zhuge Qiao wanted to gather for the first time.
Wei Ba and Zhao Guang got on the boat and found that most of the others had already arrived, Fu Xing sat on the side of the door, and when he saw Wei Ba coming in, he nodded with a smile and said hello. Wei Ba saw that there was still a vacant seat next to him, and just wanted to go over and sit down, Fu Xing hurriedly shook his head and said, "How can you sit here, this is the place reserved for Zhong De." ”
Wei Ba was just about to ask Weishenme, Zhuge Qiao laughed: "Ziyu, come here, although you are in charge of grain and grass matters, you are not the general of the baggage battalion, how can you sit there." Come, come and sit beside me. ”
Wei Ba touched his head embarrassedly, he had never been an official in his previous life, although the company held a meeting in a different position, after all, he was not so particular about officialdom, and in this life, he had never participated in any decent meetings, and he had no chance to understand this kind of officialdom culture, so he showed his timidity as soon as he appeared.
Wei Ba walked to Zhuge Qiao's side. Zhuge Qiao sat in the main seat facing the hatch, and there were two empty positions on the left and right. At the bottom of the right-hand side, there is a person that Wei Ba least wants to see: Yang Wei. Obviously, Yang Wei didn't want to see Wei Ba either, as soon as he saw Wei Ba coming in, his eyes became fierce, and his thin face collapsed because his teeth were clenched too tightly, and he even heard the sound of clucking teeth. Wei Ba frowned, not wanting to get too close to this enemy, and turned around and walked to the place on Zhuge Qiao's right.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he moved, Yang Wei smiled sadly: "I said that Wei joined the army, although you are talented, you are too conceited. Could it be that except for Zhuge Duwei here, you think you are the most honorable person, and you actually want to take a seat? ”
Wei Ba was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that in these years, there is not only a difference between the top and bottom of the position, but also a difference between the left and right, and the position on the left side of the master is respected by the position on the right. During the last dynasty, Wendong and Wuxi were also a sign that Wenchen was higher than Wuchen.
Wei Ba was a little embarrassed, he ignored Yang Wei's cynicism, and just turned around and walked to the vacant seat on Zhuge Qiao's right, a voice sounded outside the cabin door: "Wait, please join the army and take a seat." "―――――― second update, ask for recommendation votes, ask for collections.
