Wei Ba gently placed the letter on the table, rubbing his fingers against the short beard on his chin, and muttered.

Fei Yi looked at Wei Ba nervously, his palms were full of sweat. He didn't know if Zhuge Liang's long letter could play its due role, at least in his opinion, it was a bit hanging. Zhuge Liang did not let Wei Ba go to Xiangyang, and insisted that Wei Ba be a grain and grass supervisor, compared with the previous decision, he did not need to return to Chengdu, but was stationed in Jingzhou.

Wei Ba refused last time, this time, will he agree? Fei Yi wasn't sure. Zhuge Liang wrote him another letter, explaining the general contents of the letter, and asked him to do everything possible to appease Wei Ba and make him accept orders. But Fei Yi was not sure at all. In his opinion, Wei Ba now has enough strength not to listen to Zhuge Liang's orders.

Fei Yi looked at Wei Ba's mouth, for fear of hearing a word. He knew very well that he couldn't control Wei Ba, and if Wei Ba refused to accept it, all Zhuge Liang's arrangements would only come to naught, and Zuihou would be a joke.

Li Yan and the others should be very happy to see this result.

"Fei Jun......" Wei Ba owes himself and coughs, waking Fei Yi up from his thoughts. Fei Yi shuddered, and his heart suddenly lifted. He held his breath and looked at Wei Ba intently.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Wei Bahu touched his face suspiciously, and asked not very confidently, "Is there something on my face?" ”

"I didn't ...... It's nothing. Fei Yi couldn't help but be embarrassed. There haven't been many times in my life when I've been so nervous. "Say, I'll listen."

"This ...... This, the meaning of the prime minister. I get it. "Wei Ba clicked on the letter, and said in his heart that if this letter has a chance to be included in Zhuge Liang's anthology, it will probably add another strange article to the history of Chinese prose, which will not be inferior to "The Teacher's Table", and I don't know how much effort it took the prime minister to write." I think the prime minister has a point, from the perspective of state affairs, it is indeed better for me to stay in Jiangnan than to go to Xiangyang. ”

"Whew-" Fei Yi's heart fell to the ground and let out a long breath.

Wei Ba looked at Fei Yi in surprise and asked with concern, "Fei Jun, what's wrong with you?" Not feeling well? Is it too tiring to negotiate? ”

Fei Yi shook his head. Haha smiled: "Ziyu." Don't pretend to me, you know what I'm worried about. ”

Wei Ba also hahadaxiao, pointing at Fei Yi with his finger: "You, you must have sued me behind your back." Right? ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Fei Yi didn't mind either. "Ziyu. I am very happy that you can understand the Prime Minister's painstaking efforts. I believe that the prime minister will be very satisfied when he learns this news. ”

"You're overthinking." Wei Ba stood up. With a wave of his arm, his joints made a gurgling sound. "I know that the prime minister must be dissatisfied with the last time I didn't go back to Chengdu, and maybe someone will say that I am not inferior behind my back. Actually, I just have my own ideas and want to do better. Okay, now I can transport the rice from Jiaozhou through Xiangshui all the way to Linxiang, and then, whether I can smoothly enter Hanshui and transport it all the way to Guanzhong depends on your ability. ”

Fei Yi nodded, he was more confident in this. He knew very well what Sun Quan's current situation was, as long as Wei Ba was willing to stop fighting between the two sides, Sun Quan would definitely not take the initiative to provoke a fight, and convince Sun Quan to agree that it would not be a big problem for Shu Han's grain ships to pass through the Han River.

"What about you?"

"I want to go back to Chengdu." Wei Ba looked at the bright sunshine, and his expression suddenly became a little dazed. "I've been away from Chengdu for more than a year, and I want to go back home."

Fei Yi was taken aback: "Then what's the matter, after you leave, who will preside over the military administration?" ”

"You." Wei Ba said casually: "Or, please arrange another person for the prime minister." I'm going to go home and see. ”

"Nonsense." Fei Yi couldn't help but reprimand: "With Liao Li in Jiaozhou, maybe it's not a big problem, but the tens of thousands of troops here, besides you, who else can control it?" Do you want the prime minister or your father to come? ”

"What then?" Wei Ba spread his hands in distress. "I want to go home. I haven't been home for more than a year, and my wife is my sister's church. Now that the war is over, I want to go home and see my family, which is not too much. ”

Fei Yi smiled bitterly, he understood what Wei Ba meant. This is the price of Wei Ba's acceptance of Zhuge Liang's orders.

"According to the country's legal system, it is impossible for a 2,000-stone official like you to stay in Chengdu without taking hostages. However, considering your special situation, I can write to the prime minister and ask your family to accompany you. However, you also have to do it in moderation and don't let the prime minister be unable to do it. ”

Wei Ba blinked: "Fei Jun, you are really understanding." ”

"Between you, and me, if there is anything you can't say directly, you have to go around in a big circle." Fei Yi couldn't cry or laugh: "I'll tell you about this matter, what the result of Zuihou is, it is up to the prime minister to decide, and I will try my best to help you fight for it." Ziyu, let's talk about the things in front of you first. How are you going to divide Jingzhou? ”

"This matter, of course, you go to talk about it, if you want to ask my opinion, I can't wait to even take Wu County." Wei Ba sat down again and put away his uninhibited smile: "The top priority is to ensure the war in Guanzhong, and I want to fight with Lu Xun for this purpose." If Lu Xun is not defeated, Sun Quan will not be honest. ”

Fei Yi nodded. He agrees with this. After Lu Xun's defeat, Sun Quan and the entire state of Wu were greatly shaken, and the situation in which Han and Wu were at a disadvantage in negotiations was gone forever. It was precisely because of this that he was sure that he could get Sun Quan to agree to the passage of grain ships through the Han River.

"When it comes to negotiations, you're better than me, so I won't intervene much." Wei Ba continued: "However, considering that Sun Quan is a person who blows hard and does not eat soft, I hope that when negotiating, I can also rely on each other. Fei Jun, you will do the good guys, and I will do the wicked guys, how about it? ”

Fei Yi was taken aback, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "Ziyu, you can't risk yourself. Seeing you, Sun Quan may do something crazy. ”

"Of course I won't go, what I want to say, Wei Xing will say."

"Wei Xing, he is indeed a suitable candidate." Fei Yi breathed a sigh of relief and accepted Wei Ba's suggestion. Judging from several contacts with the Wu people, Wei Xing has the ability to be an envoy, and he has come forward. Sun Quan must also feel more pressure, which will help him in his work. Of course, in order for Wei Xing to attend the negotiations, Shu Han had to give Wei Xing a corresponding official position, which was also Wei Ba's real intention. It is not a low requirement to let a subordinate be appointed to an official position at least Lang Guan or above, but considering Wei Ba's current merits and concessions, this requirement is really nothing, and Fei Yi is sure that he can obtain Zhuge Liang's consent.

After discussing the specific details with Wei Ba. Fei Yi left satisfied. He wrote a letter as quickly as he could. Let the fast horse send it to Zhuge Liang. Wei Ba accepted Zhuge Liang's arrangement and agreed to stay in Jingzhou and not go north, which was a surprise, a surprise only inferior to Linhe's great victory. That's enough to tell. Their worries about Wei Ba were somewhat unnecessary. Wei Ba is not very docile though. There are still measures that take into account the big picture.

Fei Yi and Wei Xing rushed back to Linxiang and had urgent consultations with Zhuge Jin and Zhang Wen, who were ordered to come to negotiate, and an agreement was quickly reached. The two sides re-divided Jiangnan. With Xiangshui as the boundary, the east of Xiangshui belongs to Sun Wu, and the west of Xiangshui belongs to Shu Han, which basically restores the pattern of redividing Jingzhou between the two sides in the 20th year of Jian'an. The difference is only that at Lu Xun's insistence, Eastern Wu retained Yiyang to the west of Xiangshui, and in exchange, all areas south of Linxiang were also included in the category of Shu Han, and Shu Han was allowed to use the waterways within Wu for transshipment.

These places have actually been controlled by Wei Ba, and Wu Guo can't take them back at all, so Lu Xun used these places in exchange for control of Yiyang to prepare for a counteroffensive in the future, which can be regarded as a wise move. Both sides know that the division of Jingzhou now is just a temporary helplessness, Wu needs time to deploy troops to stabilize the situation, and Shu Han also needs to end the war in Jingzhou as soon as possible and support the Guanzhong battlefield, and everyone doesn't want to fight anymore.

After the draft agreement was agreed, Wei Ba was invited to Linxiang and met with Zhuge Jin and Lu Xun. At the banquet, Lu Xun had been very silent, and Wei Ba did not take the initiative to drink with him, on the contrary, Zhuge Ke and Zhuge Rong brothers were very active, and frequently got up to toast Wei Ba. Lu Lan saw it in his eyes, very annoyed, he got up from the table and walked in front of Wei Ba, holding the wine glass in both hands, with a smirk on his face.

"General Wei, can I ask you a question?"

Seeing this, Xiahou Xuan frowned, and was rushing to answer in front of Wei Ba, Wei Ba gave him a look, shook his head, and signaled him not to be nervous. Wei Ba turned his head, nodded to Lu Lan, and said with a smile: "Don't dare to ask for advice, my knowledge is not good, don't deliberately embarrass me." ”

Lu Lan smiled: "I heard that the general invited the great Confucian Liu Beihai to serve as the grand sacrificial wine of the Jiaozhou Academy, and admired Mencius, so he must have studied Mencius's doctrine, so let's discuss Mencius's learning, presumably the general will not shirk." ”

Wei Ba pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Actually, although I admire Mencius, I don't know much about his knowledge, just a few famous sayings. However, sometimes the great truth that is repeated may not be as simple as a few sentences, and it can be whipped to the point, don't you say? ”

Lu Lan smiled slightly: "Then I have to ask, which sentence of Mencius does the general think is the most inspiring." ”

"The most inspiring thing is, of course, 'the king regards the people as grass mustard, and the people regard the king as an enemy'." Wei Ba said seriously: "There is kindness to repay kindness, there is revenge to revenge, go straight, this is the true character of a husband." It would be unbearable for John to take revenge, or to confess the thief as his father. Lu Jun, don't you say? ”

Lu Lan was speechless for a moment, and her face turned red. Lu Xun, who had been lowering his head all the time, but pricked up his ears to listen, shook his hand, and all the wine in the cup was spilled on his body, and his face suddenly turned pale.

When Fei Yi saw it, he quickly got up and made a round. "Ziyu, you have too much wine."

Wei Ba smiled slightly: "What Fei Jun said is very true, today we turned the war into a jade silk, and we were happy in our hearts, and we drank two more glasses at one time." If you are rude, please don't blame you. Come and come, meet with a smile and a grudge, let's raise a glass together and toast to the Hanwu League! ”

Lu Xun slowly got up, came to Wei Ba, looked at Wei Ba for a long time, raised his wine glass, nodded in greeting, and smiled miserably: "Wei Jun, thank you for your teachings, if there is a coming day, you will definitely repay you." ”

After saying that, he craned his neck, drank it all, threw his glass on the ground, and laughed wildly...... (To be continued......)
