Chapter 869: My Territory, My Decision
After a short rest, let the ministers see the fruits of Jiaozhou, and also gave them time to digest the world they just talked about, Wei Ba stood in front of everyone again.
"Gentlemen, those who do not seek eternity, those who do not seek a time, those who do not seek the overall situation, cannot seek a domain. Great oaks from little acorns grow.. Looking back on the past, we can find that when we can expand our territory and push our Chinese civilization further, it is the time when the country is strong and the monarch is wise and virtuous. When Wei Huo expelled the Xiongnu, there were 70 years of savings, Chen Tang and Gan Yanshou were in the Western Regions, and Zhaoxuan Zhongxing was in front, even if Ban Dingyuan 36 rode the Western Regions, it was also the second emperor of Guangwu Xiaoming. It is not solid at all, how can it be victorious thousands of miles away? If you want to raise the prestige of our Han Dynasty and spread Wende in the four fields, you must first determine the Central Plains and restore the unification of the Han Dynasty before you can involve the rest. ”
Everyone held their breath and listened to Wei Ba's explanation of the world that was easier for them to understand. Wei Ba took out another map of the territory of the Han Dynasty and began to explain the strategy of the world that was smaller in scale and more realistic.
This is actually a condensed version of the Liaodong Expedition Jihua, but with Sun Deng and others present, he omitted the content of weakening the Wu State, focused on the Wei State as the enemy, and told the strategy of how to recover the Central Plains.
Zhuge Liang saw that he took out the map and understood, he didn't want Wei Ba to talk about this matter on such an occasion, so far, he himself did not approve of this jihua, not because this jihua was strategically unfeasible, but behind this strategy, there were more far-reaching political intentions.
The erosion of Guanzhong's strength was put aside, and Wei Ba went on an expedition to Liaodong. is out of the control of the imperial court, whether he is crowned king or not, in fact, he has been divided. Gongsun Yuan is partial to Liaodong, and he can claim to be the king, and the adjacent Cao Wei has nothing to do with him, if Wei Ba occupies Liaodong and is thousands of miles away from Chengdu, Chengdu's orders can still command him? When the time comes, what will happen if he takes advantage of the enemy?
Zhuge Liang allowed the matter to be discussed on a small scale, but he could not tolerate it in such a situation. Those officials didn't understand the implications. Once he was instigated by Wei Ba and approved of this jihua, it would be irreparable.
"Ziyu!" Zhuge Liang interrupted Wei Ba's words: "How can the military plan be such a child's play? If it is transmitted to Luoyang or Liaodong. And not the first opportunity? ”
Wei Ba smiled calmly. He knew what Zhuge Liang was thinking. But this is his territory. Things have come to this point, how can they still follow Zhuge Liang's rhythm. He said lightly: "Prime Minister, my Jihua is not an opportunistic surprise Jihua. It's the general trend of the world that is bright and bright, even if they know it, what can they do? And Cao Rui is smart, Sima Yi and others also know the general trend of the world, even if I don't say it, they will also know. Rather than this, it is better to announce it to the world, and let them know that the heart of our monarch and ministers to unify the world is unpolishable, which is also a good thing. ”
"However, the military should be secret."
"Not really." Wei Ba politely but resolutely shook his head in rejection. "Military aircraft should be secret, and military strategy should be clear. All of you here are ministers of state, if you don't know where the general trend is, how can you be of the same heart with Bixia? If everyone has their own opinions, and they are hustle and bustle, how can they unite as one? Only by knowing its general strategy can we unite as one, and the monarchs and ministers work together to return the world to peace with the unfinished great cause of the first emperor. ”
He didn't wait for Zhuge Liang to argue, turned to Li Yan and said: "General, back then, the first emperor had entrusted the internal and external military to the general, did the general think what I said should be?" ”
Li Yanshen nodded approvingly. "What General Zhennan said is very true, King Wu is a minister, the south of the river is all Han land, and now Cao Wei is in a corner, and it is already the end of the strong crossbow. The reason why our army cannot go down in one fell swoop is because there are different opinions, different opinions, and improper coordination among the troops stationed in various localities. I am responsible for this, and I want to ask Bixia for my guilt. When the prime minister attacked Luoyang, if I could have sent Meng Dachi from Nanyang to help in time, I might have taken Luoyang a long time ago. It's all my fault, I don't know the prime minister's intentions, I delay the military plane, and I'm ashamed. ”
He said that he was ashamed, but he didn't see a trace of shame on his face, and continued with his head held high: "General Zhennan's strategy, I think it is extremely appropriate, first use an edict to Gongsun Yuan, persuade him to be good, if he can still keep the Han family in his heart, he is willing to contribute to the court, and he is sincere for the great good." If they are obsessed, they should be driven away by soldiers. With the ability of the generals of Zhennan and the advantages of warships, how can Liaodong be an enemy? Under Liaodong, he was willing to lead a section of Guanzhong to the east of Tongguan and attack with the general of Zhennan, so what is Cao Wei's way? Bixia, Prime Minister, is willing to use his life to guarantee the success of General Zhennan, may Bixia be a holy judge, and may the Prime Minister help. ”
Zhuge Liang sighed secretly, Li Yan is a heart today, and he wants to work together with Wei Ba, forcing him to agree to this Jihua. With the crown prince of Wu on the list, if he argues with Li Yan and Wei Ba, not only will it not help, but it will make Sun Quan laugh. Moreover, if he doesn't agree, Wei Ba won't announce Jihua, with his current situation, can Wei Ba take his ban in his eyes?
I really have the intention to kill the thief, and I can't go back to heaven. Watching Li Yan and Wei Ba sing together, Zhuge Liang felt a deep sense of powerlessness. He wanted to jump up and rebuke them, but he didn't even have the strength to get up and argue.
He looked at Liu Chan and hoped that Liu Chan would stand up and stop them with the respect of the Son of Heaven. Now the only one who can stop Wei Ba is the Son of Heaven. It's a pity that he despaired after just one look. Liu Chan's little eyes actually flashed with excitement, and he looked like he couldn't wait to start fighting early. Zhuge Liang thought about it for a while, and he understood Liu Chan's thoughts at the moment, he was afraid that he had already regarded himself as that Alexander.
Wei Ba's story was not told in vain, he successfully poked Liu Chan's weakness. Liu Chan has always been in power, trapped in the deep palace, and he is only afraid that what he desires most is to break free from the shackles, take the hero million, and conquer the world. Regardless of whether they have this ability or not, there are a few young people of this age who do not have any heroic feelings, not to mention that there is a living example in front of them.
Alas, it's a big deal.
Zhuge Liang sighed lightly and closed his eyes.
With the support of Li Yan, Wei Ba spoke even more vigorously, he finished talking about the strategy of Liaodong, and began to talk about the bright prospects after the unification of the Central Plains. If Great Qin is too far away and too powerful to conquer for a while, then there are more territories nearby that can be galloped. In the East China Sea and the South China Sea, there are many large and small islands that can satisfy the willingness to conquer within a hundred years. There are no powerful countries on these islands, only some tribes, the people of these tribes slash and burn, live the most primitive life, they not only need the exquisite utensils of our Han, but also the splendid culture of our Han, and more importantly, there are countless treasures on it.
"Now. Everyone knows that Jiaozhou is a treasure. But you don't know that among those islands, there are more treasures in Jiaozhou. From Jiaolu to the south, it crosses several mountains. There is domestic jade. Yangzhou to the east. Go to sea for five or six days. There is a large island, to which the king of Yue fled after his defeat. Wei Ba stopped suddenly. Said loudly to Sun Deng: "Prince, King Wu intended to send people into the sea to find Yizhou, do you know? ”
Sun Deng was surprised, this was a matter of Wu State, how could Wei Ba know? After thinking about it, Zhuge Zhi was now Wei Ba's subordinate, how could he not know about this, so he nodded.
"And what about Weishenme who didn't make the trip?"
Sun Deng was a little embarrassed: "The turmoil is thousands of miles, and I don't see the land, so I don't dare to walk lightly." ”
Wei Ba hahadaxiao: "Thousands of miles of turmoil? Who said it, it's clear that your battleship jishu is not enough, so you don't dare to go to sea. Prince, you should remember one thing, jishu can't be stolen, only if you create it yourself, it's really your own. You dare not go to sea, but I see it as flat ground. To tell you the truth, I am ready, but after returning to Jingzhou, I will order a detachment of troops to go to sea to find Yizhou. ”
As soon as these words came out, the four were shocked. Sun Deng is certainly self-conscious, and those Shu Han civil and military ministers are also very surprised, Wu State stole our country's shipbuilding? Shipbuilding jishu is highly secretive, how can it be stolen casually, I'm afraid there are other hidden secrets in this. In an instant, many people turned their attention to the general Li Yan and the prime minister Zhuge Liang. The reason is very simple, in addition to the warship Jishu owned by Wei Ba himself, the most likely to leak secrets are Li Yan and Zhuge Liang, and among the two, Zhuge Liang is the most likely.
Zhuge Liang's eyelids jumped, and even his heartbeat accelerated a lot. All along, Wei Ba didn't mention the leak of the warship Jishu, he almost forgot about it, and now Wei Ba suddenly mentioned it, and he remembered that Wei Ba was still holding the drawing he had drawn by himself.
Zhuge Liang's vest was in a cold sweat.
This is Wei Ba's zuihou warning, if he insists on going against Wei Ba, Wei Ba will take out this drawing, so that he will be ruined and completely lose his combat effectiveness.
Lead but not start, leap as well. Arrows on the bow are more threatening than shooting.
Zhuge Liang was saddened, he knew that Wei Ba had tightly grasped the initiative, and no one could hinder his progress anymore.
At least not yet.
Wei Ba's face was not facing Zhuge Liang, but his eyes kept paying attention to Zhuge Liang. He saw Zhuge Liang's big hand holding the armrest tightly, and he also saw his twitching eyelids, and he also saw Zhuge Liang's powerlessness to relax his body. He laughed silently, he knew that this seemingly inadvertent blow had crushed Zhuge Liang's resistance, and in a short period of time, he would not stop it again.
"Gentlemen......" Wei Ba raised his hand, interrupting everyone's noisy discussion. Gentlemen, I am a martial artist, I read little, I am stubborn, I charge into battle, and I do it so-so, but I can't do this thing of educating the people and educating the common people. Whoever acquires a land, must first colonize its people, and then govern its affairs, and after dozens of years of education, they can truly be incorporated into our Chinese territory. These depend on the reigning kings. ”
Wei Ba smiled slightly, and said loudly: "Gentlemen, doing scholarship is still for the sake of the world, only knowledge that can solve practical problems is real learning." What is the use of sitting and talking about the Tao, boasting about life, even if the tongue is bright and lotus? Whether it is a real talent or a corrupt Confucianism who talks about the scriptures and righteousness must be demonstrated through political achievements. I am not talented, and I am willing to work side by side with you to serve Bixia and raise my reputation in the world. In the future, if you can leave a thin name in the green history, please be merciful to the person who wrote it. ”
"Haha Ha ......" Everyone daxiao, and someone said loudly: "General Zhennan, you are too modest. With your merits, you will inevitably go down in history in the future, and you will be famous for future generations. ”
Wei Ba smiled and saluted, he knew that he had succeeded, because he threw a bait that no one could refuse. Expanding the territory means sealing wives and shadows for martial artists, and what does it mean for civil officials? Of course, there are more opportunities to be an official. Warriors are relied upon for war, and scribes are relied upon for governance. Everyone understands this. There are a few people who really enjoy reading, most of them still want to be officials, Wei Ba is willing to provide them with opportunities, who would be stupid enough to go against him.
Anyway, they weren't on the front line when the war was fighting. Let those martial artists fight, we have nothing to lose, and when they take the new land, we will go to the benevolent government, practice education, and promote the saint's scriptures and righteousness to farther places, turn raze into summer, establish virtue and meritorious speech, and leave a name in history, how beautiful.
With common interests, although Liu Chan has not yet approved Wei Ba's expedition jihua, everyone knows that this jihua has already passed
