"Prime Minister Wuxiang Hou Chenliang, meet Bixia." Zhuge Liang is polite and meticulous, his thin and tall figure is like a bamboo, but it is tortuous like a chime.

Liu Chan didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly returned the salute and called him father again. After the two saluted each other, Zhuge Liang straightened up again and looked at Wei Ba behind Liu Chan with a majestic gaze.

Wei Ba couldn't cover his nose, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Prime Minister!" ”

Dong Yun also rushed over and bowed.

Zhuge Liang bowed slightly: "I have something to ask Bixia for advice, you just wait here, wait a while, I still have something to say to you." ”

"Whoa." Wei Ba and Dong Yun responded in unison and stood aside.

Liu Chan had a bitter face and glanced at Wei Ba for help. Wei Ba couldn't do anything, so he had to encourage Liu Chan to stabilize with his eyes. He knew what Liu Chan was worried about, but he couldn't do anything now, he could only hope that Liu Chan wouldn't show his feet.

Zhuge Liang and Liu Chan walked towards the hall together, and Wei Ba and Dong Yun stood under the city wall. Dong Yun looked at Wei Ba, who had a handful of snot and tears, wanted to laugh but didn't laugh, so he had to fake coughing and cover half of his face with his sleeve, so as not to be seen by Wei Ba about his gloating.

Wei Ba was in no mood to pay attention to him. He is in a complicated mood now, both worried about Liu Chan and worried about Zhuge Liang's intentions. Zhuge Liang was busy with affairs and rarely entered the palace in person to ask for orders. If it is said that it is for the sake of King Lu and Dongwu to make peace, it is not possible, but he always feels that Zhuge Liang came to the palace to have another deep meaning, not just as simple as being close.

The sky gradually darkened, and the lights were lit up in the hall, and I could see from afar. The two figures can be seen clearly. One was thin and tall, straight, and the other was fat and short, almost shrunk into a ball, and couldn't help but shake a few times, as if nodding and trembling. The palace people next to him stood far away, no one dared to approach, and Huang Hao, who was the most favored by Liu Chan, stood under the corridor and didn't dare to move. Like a pillar.

I don't know how long it took. The pillar shook suddenly, and then ran down the steps, and as soon as he took a step, he stepped into the air. "Smack". Fell to the ground. Rolled down the steps. Rolling to the end, he didn't care about wiping, and ran all the way to Wei Ba and Dong Yun. Qiang smiled: "Dong Shizhong, Wei Shizhong, the prime minister summoned the two of you to discuss." ”

Dong Yun snorted: "Panicked, what kind of system, I'll get twenty canes later." ”

Huang Hao's face stiffened, he stood for a moment, and responded: "Huh! ”

Wei Ba sighed, reached out and patted Huang Hao's shoulder as a sign of comfort, and then walked towards the main hall. Dong Yun took a step forward, walked side by side with Wei Ba, and said solemnly as he walked: "Wei Jun, you don't have to be so close to this kind of traitorous villain, how can you not have the prime minister to say, 'Kiss the villain, Yuan Xianchen, and then the Han will be so decadent'?" ”

Wei Ba said calmly: "Dong Jun, if the historical gains and losses are only attributed to the virtuous ministers and villains, it is too superficial. The prime minister said so, but at one end, you should listen to his words and understand his meaning, but you must not be rigid, otherwise it will be a blind man touching an elephant. ”

Dong Yun didn't know that the blind man touched the elephant, but he could also hear that it was not a good word. He sneered: "I have to ask for advice." ”

"I'm not the prime minister, so I don't have the obligation to guide you." Wei Ba said, he had already walked to the bottom of the stairs, he lifted the hem of his clothes, took three steps and made two steps, and quickly walked towards the main hall. Dong Yun was so angry that he rolled his eyes, and subconsciously wanted to catch up, but he just took two steps, and felt that it was contrary to etiquette to walk like this, so he hurriedly changed to small steps and moved forward with small steps. He walked like this, where could he catch up with Wei Ba, just halfway out, Wei Ba had already rushed to the hall, took off his shoes, walked quickly in front of Zhuge Liang and Liu Chan, bowed down, and said loudly:

"The servant is a tyrant, meet Bixia, meet the prime minister."

"Flat." Liu Chan said as he gave Wei Ba a look. Looking at his expression, Wei Ba chuckled in his heart, knowing that there might not be anything good.

"Sit down." Zhuge Liang waved his hand and motioned for Wei Ba to sit down. At this time, Dong Yuncai rushed into the hall and hurriedly bowed down. Although he tried his best to calm himself, he was more or less disrupted by Wei Ba and seemed a little flustered. Zhuge Liang glanced at him, frowned slightly, didn't say anything, and motioned for him to sit side by side with Wei Ba.

"I just discussed with Bixia to adjust Wei Ba's responsibilities." Zhuge Liang raised his hand, covered it in front of his mouth, and coughed lightly twice, an unhealthy flush appeared on his pale face. After a while, he said with a slight breath: "King Wu agrees to make peace, but asks us to send a person of comparable status to welcome the family. I consulted with Bixia and decided that the rear general Liu Yan would be the main one, and Wei Ba would be the auxiliary. ”

Wei Ba was taken aback and hesitated for a moment: "Prime Minister, I have a lot of conflicts with General Hou, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get along." ”

"I know that." Zhuge Liang shook his sleeves slightly. "Listen to me."

"Whoa." Wei Ba was silent and bowed down to listen.

Ever since Guan Feng reminded him, he had been secretly paying attention to Liu Yan and sent the most powerful Dunwu out. After a period of inquiry, Dunwu confirmed that Liu Yan was training his soldiers, and he also heard Liu Yan express his resentment towards Wei Ba many times. It's just that Wei Ba is in the palace most of the time, and the Wei family will send a large number of soldiers to pick up and drop off when he is resting, and Liu Yan probably has no certainty of victory, so there has been no conflict.

Guan Feng once reminded Wei Ba that Liu Yan was scolded by Zhuge Liang because of Liu Yu's matter, so Zhuge Liang was naturally clear about this matter, maybe it was still what he wanted. Now Zhuge Liang wants him to partner with Liu Yan to welcome his relatives, and put these two enemies together, in addition to stirring up trouble, what other reasonable explanation can there be? Since this is the case, Wei Ba does not intend to refuse, he simply concludes, and now he says so, it is just a matter of the scene. He wants to show Liu Chan that he is worried, and when something happens, he can't blame me alone.

"This time we can succeed with Qin, on the one hand, because we are sincere, and on the other hand, it is also related to you Wei Ba." Zhuge Liang laughed softly: "The battle of Xiangyang scared Sun Quan. He didn't want another vicious battle, so he made a compromise. Wei Ba, you are meritorious. ”

Wei Ba owes himself: "It's Bixia and the prime minister who are strategizing, and the ministers are just serving their lives." ”

"This time, I want you to go to greet your relatives, which is also Sun Quan's request. I guess he'll probably find some trouble to settle his resentment over Sun Wei's death. Wei Ba, you should put state affairs first, and don't miss a major event because of a momentary anger. It must be known that Wu is not willing to fight, and we are not willing to fight. Zhuge Liang paused, gasped twice, and said: "Of course, the initiative is ours, you don't have to be too weak, a little tougher will also help the monarchs and ministers of Wu State to recognize the current situation, which is beneficial to maintaining our covenant." It's just that you have to master this degree. ”

Wei Ba pondered for a moment and bowed down to receive the order. "I do my best."

Zhuge Liang nodded with satisfaction: "I also know that you and Liu Yan have some conflicts, but they are all personal enmities." Although Liu Yan has no ability, this measure is still there. This time, he is responsible for etiquette, and you are responsible for safety, so from now on, you will temporarily lead the tiger servant to shoot, lead the tiger to shoot two hundred, and protect the safety of Princess Sun herself, and the security of the periphery will be taken care of by Liu Yan and Zhang Shao. ”

Wei Ba hesitated, Zhuge Liang saw it and asked, "If you have any ideas, just say it directly." ”

"Prime Minister, although Hu Benlang has been training hard recently, their foundation is too poor, and I am worried that in the event of an accident, they may not be able to come in handy."

"I know that." Zhuge Liang laughed: "So, I allow you to bring a hundred parts." There are a hundred soldiers, it should be enough, right? ”

Wei Ba nodded: "Prime Minister Xie." ”

After arranging the greeting of relatives, Zhuge Liang left the palace in a hurry. Liu Chan stood under the porch, watching Zhuge Liang leave, and his waist, which had been bowing, straightened up. He let out a long breath, twisted his neck, and shook his arm in relief.

Wei Ba didn't smile at all. Liu Yan is the chief officer of the welcoming team, there are 1,000 soldiers under him, Zhuge Liang is only allowed to bring 100 soldiers himself, once something happens, can the soldiers be one as ten? Even if he could, Liu Yan had the right in his hands, and there were many ways to make him uncomfortable. Just based on Zhuge Liang's empty words, he can believe that he is safe?

However, he did not object, there are probably only so many soldiers in the Wei family who can really come in handy now, and it is unrealistic to take them all away, not to mention that it will also make Liu Yan vigilant and take more strict precautions, it is better to bring the most elite troops, so that Liu Yan thinks that the victory ticket is in hand. In the art of war, this is called showing the enemy weakness and wanting to capture the enemy.

Wei Ba, like his father Wei Yan, adheres to Wu Qi's idea of using troops, likes to win with elite soldiers, and is not very willing to use crowd tactics. Besides, they are not qualified to resort to crowd tactics either.

"Alas!" Seeing that Wei Ba was distracted, Liu Chan, who came back to life, shouted: "Tell you something." ”

"Bixia, what's the matter?"

"The prime minister is going to make Li Yan a hussar general."

Wei Ba was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "Is this appropriate?" General Wu fought a bloody battle in Xiangyang for half a year, but he was just a chariot general, and Li Yan didn't do anything, but he was promoted to hussar general? This is not in line with the prime minister's style of rewarding and punishing clearly. ”

"You're stupid." Liu Chan glared at Wei Ba with disdain: "Everyone can see that this is Li Yan's own ignorance of advancing and retreating, and the prime minister will do this for the sake of the overall situation." He looked around, leaned into Wei Ba's ear and said, "This is called wanting to capture and indulge, do you understand?" ”

Wei Ba's eyes widened, and he said seriously: "Bixia, you really woke up the person in the dream with a word." ”

Liu Chan crossed his waist, smirked proudly, and shook his fat body: "You don't understand anything?" I just pretended I didn't understand. ”

Wei Ba hurriedly bowed to the end: "Bixia Shengming." ”

"Haha......" Liu Chan walked forward with his head held high, with a heroic expression. He took two steps, turned back, and whispered, "You be careful of Dong Yun, don't let him pick a bunch of waste for you." Although the prime minister will warn Liu Yan, if you really die, even if you kill Liu Yan and give you a funeral, you will not be able to come back to life. ”

"What then?"

"Stupid, go find Xiang Pet and ask him for someone." Liu Chan squeezed his eyes and said mysteriously: "Xiang Pet is favored by the first emperor, and it is different from Dong Yun. (To be continued......)
