The icing on the cake is everyone, because the risk is small, and of course the benefit is small. The masters are all charcoal in the snow, with great risks and great benefits.

When Wei Ba was proud, everyone knew that it would not be wrong to defect to him, but now that Wei Ba is in trouble, I am afraid that many people will retreat. At this time, eyesight is very important, whether Wei Ba will collapse is directly related to whether the investment can be recovered. In political struggles, it is very serious to be on the wrong side.

Ma Tan and Xiang Lang don't have such problems, they know Wei Ba's confidence and means, and they have no room for maneuver with Zhuge Liang, even if Wei Ba collapses, it is impossible for them to go back to Zhuge Liang.

But this is far from enough, the relationship between them and Wei Ba needs to be constantly strengthened, and others cannot be inserted. Ma Tan took Gu Tan's words as a gossip, but Xiang Lang realized that the Gu family might take action. Although he is older, he is more sensitive than Ma Tan, so he said that Ma Jian is idle in Chengdu.

Ma Jian is also a smart person and immediately understood this problem.

They had fought with their lives to support Wei Ba, but if they arrived in Zuihou, the Gu family and the Lu family would become Wei Ba's henchmen, and the latecomers would be on top, then they would lose a lot.

"Xiang Gong, thanks to your reminder, I know what to do."

"Well, if you want to do it, you have to do it in a hurry, and the opportunity waits for no one." Xiang Lang picked up the book again, "I believe that Wei Ziyu's kid, since he didn't die in Zhang He's hands, it's a few days to come." He paused, and then said, "This may be an opportunity, young man." There is too little contact between us and him, and it would be nice to strengthen it. ”

"How to strengthen?"

Xiang Lang frowned, and was about to speak, when Xiang Tiao walked in quickly. Seeing that Ma Tan was seated, he arched his hand, and he was not polite, and said bluntly: "Liao Gongyuan is exempt." ”

"What?" Ma Tan was taken aback.

Xiang Lang's eyes shrank, and he smiled with some regret: "Liao Li is really one step faster." ”

Ma Tan looked at Xiang Lang and understood what Xiang Lang meant, and his face was a little ashamed. Xiang Lang stood up. patted his belly: "Wei Wenchang sacrificed his life for the country." I'm afraid it's not enough to only send my nephews to the sacrifice, so let's stay in Chengdu and be vigilant. I'm old. A handful of years. It's time to go home, and you can see the style of your hometown before you die, so it's not a guest death. ”

"Father. Why is this ominous statement? ”

"What ominous words, Lao Tzu has already passed the age of ear shun, it doesn't matter what you listen to." Xiang Lang waved his hand: "Wen Leopard, pack my luggage, I want to go home." ”

"Whoa." Bow down and say yes.

……

Xiang Lang begged for bones, and immediately shook the Chengdu court.

After the Battle of Zhuge Liang Guanzhong, Xiang Lang resigned from military affairs and went home to study. It stands to reason that he does not have a title in his body, he is a commoner, and if he wants to go home, as long as the government has a road heirloom, he does not need to be a book at all.

And yet he did. In addition to saying goodbye to the Son of Heaven, he also told the people in the court that he Xiang Lang, the patriarch of the Jingxiang family, was going back to Jingxiang's hometown and was going to stand for Wei Ba.

He represents the entire Jingxiang lineage. In addition to Yang Yi and a few other special people, even those who wavered between Zhuge Liang and Wei Ba had to think about it when they heard the news, and they had to come to see them off, bringing a few words to express their tribute to Wei Yan and their condolences to Wei Ba.

At this time, it is more useful to show that he supports Wei Ba than he said ten times before.

This news soon spread all over Chengdu, and naturally it also reached Zhuge Liang's ears and Zhao Yun's ears.

That night, Zhao Yun called Zhao Tong in a rare way.

"What has the princess been doing lately?" Zhao Yun didn't hide it, and said straight to the point.

Zhao Tong shook his head: "There have been too many things recently, I don't dare to let her go out to cause trouble, I have been locked up at home, and I haven't even let Mrs. Sun go." ”

Zhao Yun nodded, very satisfied with Zhao Tong's arrangement, however, he didn't praise it too much, and then said: "It's still far from enough to control her mouth." Ziyu Pengcheng was frustrated, and the deterrence of Jiangdong was insufficient, and I was worried that Sun Quan would have to sink again. If Jiangdong is in chaos, it will not only be inappropriate for Ziyu, but also inappropriate for my Han. ”

Zhao Tong hurriedly leaned forward: "Father means ......"

"Please accompany the princess to Wu County." Zhao Yun stroked his beard, was silent for a moment, and then said, "Go and ask Mrs. Sun to come forward, Bixia trusts her." As for the prime minister, I went and said, I don't think he would object, Jiangdong is in chaos, and it is not the result he wants. ”

"What my father said is very true, I will do it immediately." Zhao Tong nodded again and again.

……

Hearing that Zhao Yun came to the door, Zhuge Liang was very surprised, he couldn't believe his ears for a while, and he didn't stand up until Jiang Wan reminded him for the second time. Before he could get out of the hall, Zhao Yun had already walked in quickly and bowed down.

Zhuge Liang hurriedly supported Zhao Yun and laughed loudly: "Old general, why do you have time to come here today?" ”

"There was a lot of noise at home." Zhao Yun smacked his lips: "It's not Wei Ba's little erection, he refused to marry the princess at the beginning, and pushed the princess into my house, but now he is quiet, but my ears are not in peace." ”

Zhuge Liang immediately understood what Zhao Yun meant, and while letting Zhao Yun go to the hall, he said: "The princess may have been away from home for a long time, and she doesn't have any friends in Chengdu, so go home and relax." ”

Zhao Yun nodded again and again: "It's still the prime minister, in a word, I think so too." ”

Zhuge Liang laughed. As soon as Zhao Yun spoke, he knew what Zhao Yun meant, and he could guess what Zhao Yun didn't say. However, he knew that Zhao Yun came to him specifically, not to excuse Wei Ba, but more because he didn't want to see something happen to Dongwu. As far as he is concerned, he doesn't want anything to happen to Dongwu, and he can't ask for it if there is an old minister like Zhao Yun to mediate it.

"Wen Chang died in battle, and the country broke a pillar, so it stands to reason that I should also go to see him." Zhuge Liang sighed: "But look at my body, I really can't stand the turmoil." Old general, let Boren take a trip from Yiyang. ”

Zhao Yun nodded, turned around and looked at Zhuge Liang's face, frowning slightly: "Prime Minister, have you been ...... lately?" Neglect of hard work. ”

Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't have the kindness of an old general, and when there are too many things, I can't take care of practice." Ziyu was frustrated in Pengcheng, and the government and the opposition were shaken, and it was difficult for me to deal with it. It is said that the defeated army is defeated, and not punishing is not enough to serve the public, but Wen Chang died in battle, he is emotionally unstable, and I can't bear to punish him too much. The old general is his master, he has always respected you, and Beren is like a brother to him, so let Beren persuade him. Now that he is in a high position, he can't act as recklessly as before, otherwise, I won't be able to explain to Bixia at that time. ”

Zhao Yun pondered for a moment: "Prime Minister, is there a conclusion to the battle in Pengcheng?" ”

"Not yet." Zhuge Liang asked rhetorically: "Does the old general have any suggestions?" ”

Zhao Yun laughed: "I haven't asked anything for a long time, where can I have any haode suggestions." It's just that I am Ziyu's master, and I have taught him how to use soldiers for a few days. As far as I think of him, he doesn't seem to be the kind of person who is negligent. Prime Minister, he has benefited a lot from you, what do you think of him? ”

Zhuge Liang's smile faded, he was silent, and only after a long time did he say: "If a person is not a sage, how can he be without fault." Zhang He is not a mediocre talent, I have played against him many times in Longyou and Guanzhong, and this person is indeed clever in using soldiers. It is not impossible for Ziyu to be frustrated. ”

Zhao Yun's jaw echoed: "The prime minister is reasonable. Then nothing more was said. After sitting for a while, he got up to say goodbye, Zhuge Liang sent him to the bottom of the stairs, Zhao Yun turned around and declined, looked at Zhuge Liang's face again, and said: "Prime Minister, if possible, pay more attention to rest and practice cloud hands more." Although this cloud hand is simple, the effect is really good, and it is simple and wonderful. I don't care, but the prime minister is related to the safety of the country, and this body still needs to be taken care of. Wen Chang is gone, and the three legs are folded, if the prime minister does something more, it will be difficult to support Dumu. ”

Zhuge Liang squinted his eyes, he didn't understand too much, and just wanted to ask again, Zhao Yun smiled slightly, turned around and strode away.

Zhuge Liang stood on the steps, puzzled. His conversation with Zhao Yun today doesn't seem to be a few words, but the content is very rich, both of them are smart people, and some words don't need to be said too clearly at all, as long as they click, the other party can understand. But he really didn't understand what Zhao Yun said. One of the three legs is Wei Yan, needless to say, among the remaining two people, one is him, and what about the remaining one?

And, who is this against? Wei Ba?

Zhuge Liang could faintly feel a little clue, but he couldn't guess what Zhao Yun meant, so he had to put it aside for the time being and reconsider the follow-up of the Battle of Pengcheng.

When Xiang Lang returned to his hometown in a high-profile manner, Zhao Yun came to see him, in addition to Jiangdong's safety, he naturally spoke for Wei Ba. But Zhao Yun and Xiang Lang are not the same people, he doesn't need to say anything to Wei Ba. His starting point is more about the safety of the country.

Wei Ba lost the battle, but he couldn't deal with him? Zhao Yun specially pointed out that Zhang He was not an ordinary person, in fact, he was reminding him not to go too far, otherwise he and Zhang He fought against him back then, especially during the First Northern Expedition, and the war in Longyou would inevitably be brought up again. This made Zhuge Liang feel very uncomfortable, and even a little angry.

Xiang Lang clearly supported Wei Ba, Liao Li would rather resign, and old ministers like Zhao Yun also signaled him not to go too far, when did Wei Ba accumulate so much popularity, and when did he become a loner?

Zhuge Liang asked himself how loyal he was to the imperial court, but when he thought of the situation in front of him, he was a little suspicious.

Could it be that I did something wrong and was abandoned by everyone?

Zhuge Liang sat down on the steps, holding his head weakly, his sparse white hair couldn't lock the hairpin, and the hairpin slowly slid down the steps, and the sound of "ding" was crisp in his ears
