Wei Ba laughed. He had already estimated that it would be most effective to stimulate Deng Zhi with Zongzhen. Zong Pre is a native of Nanyang like Deng Zhi, the same person is middle-aged, but he has not yet had the opportunity to become a marquis, and he has the same ambition to make contributions, and Zong Pre is about ten years younger than Deng Zhi. Now that Zong is the supervisor of Fangling, he is actually a general in command, how could Deng Zhi, who is nearly fifty years old, be willing to let go of such an opportunity?

His hesitation has already made the difference, if he really knows the destiny of heaven and has no ambition, why should he think about it for so long? With these arrangements, his intention to dominate Guanzhong was already obvious, and it was impossible for Deng Zhi not to see it. Hesitation means that he is weighing and does not want to give up this opportunity.

Deng Zhi nodded, and the next thing was easy to arrange. Wei Yan rushed to Tongguan as fast as possible, he had to organize the Tongguan defense line in the shortest possible time, and also to the Pubanjin area, the task was very heavy, and could not be delayed any longer. Deng Zhi led 5,000 people to Wuguan, and Zhao Yun gave Zhao Guang another 3,000 people and asked him to rush to the area of Longshan and Xiaoguan. Xiao Guan is adjacent to stability, stability has surrendered to Shu Han, there will be no big war, Longshan is adjacent to Tianshui, although directly facing Guo Huai, but Zhuge Liang's main force is in Tianshui, presumably Guo Huai will not go all out to attack Longshan. Even if he comes, if he can't hold it, he can directly ask Zhuge Liang for help.

According to Wei Ba's meaning, if there are sufficient troops, he will definitely arrange some more people in Longshan, and not let Guo Huai enter the hinterland of Guanzhong with a single soldier, but he is now overstretched, so he can only make such an arrangement. But it's okay to avoid tearing up the skin with Zhuge Liang, maintain a harmonious situation for the time being, and focus on the east side of the defense.

Saving soldiers is like fighting fire, and early the next morning, Wei Yan, Deng Zhi and Zhao Guang each led their armies to their destinations. There were only 1,000 Wei family soldiers left by Wei Yan and 2,000 under Zhao Yun left by Wei Yan to Wei Ba, as well as more than 3,000 Wei prisoners. Wei Ba selected more than 700 Guanzhong people who were originally from Hanzhong or believed in the Tao of Heavenly Masters. They were scattered and divided into battalions, and the others were disarmed. Just let them do some physical work.

After a busy day, all matters were basically handled in place, and when it was time for dinner, only Zhao Yun and Wei Ba were left.

Zhao Yun didn't speak much for a day. Even when Zhao Guanglai said goodbye, he didn't say much, just silently watched Wei Ba busy. It wasn't until he sat down for dinner that Wei Ba raised his wine glass and toasted him that he opened his mouth lightly.

"Ziyu, have you thought about it?"

Wei Ba was stunned for a moment, he didn't react for a while, and when he saw Zhao Yun's complicated eyes, he realized what Zhao Yun was talking about. He faked a cough. Hide your embarrassment. "This ...... I've been thinking about it for a long time. ”

"When did it start?"

Although Zhao Yun's voice was not loud, Wei Ba heard a strong coercion from it, he didn't dare to slack off, and replied with a smile: "From the day I knew that the prime minister had changed his actions. ”

Zhao Yun raised his eyebrows and muttered for a long time. Didn't say anything more. He has been mixed in officialdom for so many years, claiming to be undefeated on the battlefield and undefeated in officialdom, how can he not see the mystery in this. What Zhuge Liang wants to do, he knows, what Wei Ba wants to do, he also knows, and it can even be said that as soon as Wei Ba opened his mouth last night, he realized what Wei Ba wanted to do, and now he asks, just to confirm.

"You left me behind, it won't be as simple as helping you scare Xiahou Mao, right?" Zhao Yun took a sip of wine and asked unhurriedly.

Wei Ba's face flushed. He knew that the old general had become a master, and he couldn't hide anything from him, so it was better to be honest. But when he said this, he had obviously acquiesced to his idea, and a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. Although in Zhao Yun's eyes, it is impossible not to know what he is doing, he has not expressed a different opinion, in fact, he has already expressed his attitude. But it still reassured him a lot to get his personal consent, although it was a bit of a surprise.

"Yes, I have more important matters to ask Master for help."

"Let's talk about it, I'm old, even if I can't take on a heavy responsibility, I can't help you."

"Master will definitely be able to help." Wei Ba begged Haode and said, "Master, I remember that when you first came from the Ancestor Lord, you were in charge of the Ancestor Lord, right?" ”

Zhao Yun was suddenly a little confused. New to the Lord? It was more than 40 years ago, at that time, they were in their prime, and the white horse Changshi Gongsun Zan dominated the northern Xinjiang, Liu Bei took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to vote for Gongsun Zan Although the strength was weak, but he was arrogant and dry, and he had the ambition to clarify the world. They hit it off at first sight, hated each other late, and soon became good friends who talked about everything. Later, Liu Bei left Youzhou and went to Qi County to fight against Yuan Shao on the order of Gongsun Zhan, and he also quietly left Gongsun Zhan, nominally going home for funeral, but in fact, he returned to his hometown to recruit teenagers and recruited the first cavalry for Liu Bei. Since then, he has followed Liu Bei to fight in the south and the north, and has been coming to Yizhou.

Now, Gongsun Chan is dead, Guan Yu is dead, Zhang Fei is dead, Liu Bei is also dead, countless once familiar faces have become memories, and he is the only one left, so lonely.

Zhao Yun lowered his head, wiped the corners of his eyes with the corner of his sleeve, and said with a gloomy smile: "It's been forty years, and I almost forgot where my hometown is." ”

"Master, your hometown is not far away." Wei Ba comforted: "King Qin swept Liuhe, but it took ten years, we are now based in Guanzhong, and we will sweep the world in the future and recover the Han Dynasty, which is not far away." At that time, Master will be able to return to his hometown with honor. ”

"I hope so." Zhao Yun sighed and smiled ashamedly: "You also want me to ride?" ”

Wei Ba shook his hand again and again: "Master, you are very serious, how can I afford it." I want to ask Master to help me build a cavalry. ”

"It's not so easy to build a cavalry. Even if you can find a war horse, you won't be able to build a cavalry anytime soon without skilled knights. The Han people are not Hu people who grow on horseback, even if they can ride horses, if they want to become a real knight and form combat power, it will take at least three or five years of hard training. ”

"I know that." Wei Ba laughed, like a cunning fox: "Master, what do you think of the knights recruited from Anding and other places?" ”

"Stability?" Zhao Yun's eyes lit up: "You recruited knights from Anding?" How many people? ”

"There are only about 300 people at the moment." Wei Ba approached Zhao Yun and said happily: "Don't hide from the master, I have sent people to settle down and contact the families, hoping that they can help, if it goes well, it should not be a problem to form a cavalry battalion of more than 1,000 people." This time I have captured some horses, and I would like to pick some of my master's subordinates who are proficient in horsemanship. Even if it can't form combat strength for a while, at least it won't be powerless to fight back against the cavalry of the Wei army. ”

Zhao Yun nodded again and again. Anding is the north of Liangzhou, bordering the Hu people all year round. There are more knights who are proficient in cavalry warfare than in the mainland, and knights recruited from Anding can form combat power much faster. The people are stable and strong, and they are also famous. The Great Han Zuihou, a god of war, Emperor Fu Song is a stable person.

"That's what you've been wanting to haode for a long time?"

"Hehe, don't dare to hide it from Master." Wei Ba attached himself to Zhao Yun's ear and whispered a few more words. Zhao Yun looked at him with slanted eyes: "Really? ”

"Do I dare to lie to Master?" Wei Ba is colorful.

Zhao Yun pondered for a long time and nodded: "If it is really as you said, I am fifty percent sure that I will help you train a cavalry battalion that can decorate the façade within three or five months." ”

"That is, with Master's ability, it is not a piece of cake to do this." Wei Ba raised his wine glass with both hands, "Master." Please! ”

"It's done." Zhao Yun smiled slightly, raised his wine glass, touched it with Wei Ba, and drank it all. Seeing Zhao Yun so bold, Wei Ba was dumbfounded: "Master." I've got a full cup here. ”

"You can do it." Zhao Yun slammed the wine glass on the case, sank his face, and if he didn't give Lao Tzu face, Lao Tzu would clean up your jiashi. Wei Ba was speechless, who said that this old man was a kind man, and he was occasionally juvenile and insidious. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and drink the wine in his glass.

"Happy!" Zhao Yun shot daxiao: "Young people, you should be a little impulsive, when are you crazy when you are not crazy?" My two sons, in terms of ability, may not be worse than you, but this temper is too similar to me, looking ahead and backward, thinking too much, zuihou is afraid that nothing will be accomplished. ”

"It's not like you're in trouble." Wei Ba secretly scolded himself, and accompanied Xiaoyi to fill Zhao Yun with wine. This old man is a little excited today, but don't get too excited, my cavalry battalion can count on him. In the Shu Han army, there are not many people who are good at riding battles, and the Ma family can't count on it, only the Changshan Zhao Zilong, who was the first lord to ride.

Zhao Yun was in a good mood, he drank a little high, and his legs were already a little floating when he was finished. Wei Ba relied on his youth and forced him back to the room to rest, but he was not so happy, and returned to the study, drinking the sobering soup while sorting out the things that needed to be handled again. Thinking about it, it seems that everything that can be done has been almost done, and then it depends on whether the development of things can achieve the desired effect.

"Hehe, Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, it's no wonder to me. I asked you to come to Guanzhong, but if you didn't come, I had to swallow it myself. Wei Ba looked at the map of Guanzhong, played with the jade pendant from the Guanghan Peng family, and sneered secretly. If you try to use me as a gunman, you'll be disappointed. ”

Dunwu, who was standing aside with a knife, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard his words to himself, glanced at Wei Ba, and quickly raised his hand and rubbed his nose before he didn't laugh out loud. Young master, the prime minister uses you as a gunman? Where will the prime minister's wife be?

Wei Ba didn't know that Dunwu's mind was already crooked, he raised his head, his eyes looked at the night sky in the distance, a bright moon hung in the corner of the eaves, he suddenly thought about it, stood up and said, "Dunwu, go to the dungeon, look at that Xiahou girl." ”

Dunwu was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Young master, do you want to use Miss Xiahou to test the gun?" ”

"What guns to try?" Wei Ba was inexplicable.

"Uh-" Seeing Wei Ba's expression, Dun Wu thought he was embarrassed, so he quickly covered his mouth and said, "It's nothing, I'll let someone prepare it immediately." There have been too many captives in the past two days, and there has been a lot of chaos in the dungeon. As he spoke, he hurried away.

Wei Ba was even more puzzled, and shook his head: "What the hell is this kid doing, what kind of gun to try, and ...... with Xiahou girl" He suddenly understood, his old face suddenly turned red, and he looked at Dunwu's back and scolded secretly, and Xiahou Hui's exquisite face appeared in front of him, and he suddenly felt a little moved.

This girl is good-looking, and now she is a captive, and she is really a good person to test her gun.
