Chapter 827: Veteran and Rookie
After a long time, Zhuge Liang slowly turned around, looked at Jiang Wei's young and tired face, and sighed lightly: "Boyo, determination alone is far from enough, you are not facing an ordinary person, it is an almost seamless wizard, and ...... And he's already on his wings. ”
"Mencius said: Although there are tens of millions of people, I will go. What's more, it's Wei Ba alone. ”
"But this person deserves thousands of troops, and it's really difficult to deal with." Zhuge Liang sighed lightly and shook the letter he had just received. "Take this matter in front of you, how do you say you should deal with it?"
Jiang Wei was speechless, and the pride and ambition just now came to naught.
This urgent letter was sent by Nanyang's sect in advance. He discovered that there was an undercurrent in Nanyang, and someone was investigating the water master, which seemed to be related to some jishu leak. The level of the person who checked was very high, and even Meng Da did not let go, it seems that it was instructed by Li Yan, at least it had to be presided over by Li Feng, otherwise Meng Da, who was the chief general of Nanyang, would not have no temper at all.
Zong Yu didn't know the reason for this incident, he only felt that the situation was serious because he was also investigated, and reported to Zhuge Liang according to the custom. But the person who received the letter, whether it was Zhuge Liang or Jiang Wei, understood what it meant, and Zhuge Liang, who had just entered a contest with Fei Yi, was even more transparent.
This matter seems to be done by the Li family's father and son, but in fact, Wei Ba is fueling the troubles behind it, and the purpose is obvious, that is, to force him to comply.
He was even more suspicious of Wei Ba's intentions. It is precisely because of this that he said to Fei Yi so harshly, that is, to Wei Ba. If you can be a pure minister. Of course, I am very happy, but if you refuse to give up your ambitions, then I will fight you to the end, at all costs.
Judging from the current situation, can Wei Ba give up his ambitions? There is no possibility at all, and his actions smell of conspiracy from the inside out.
This is a formidable enemy, both civil and military, powerful, greedy and cunning.
Zhuge Liang now regrets it very much. If only I knew that there would be such a day. He would not let Wei Ba enter Wuling and trap him in Chengdu as an idle job, where would such a situation occur. Now he also understands that Ma Jian would strongly advocate for Wei Ba to carry out this task at that time, because Ma Jian had already had a different heart. He wants to form an alliance with Wei Ba. In a class of its own.
Now Ma Tan is in Chengdu. Wei Ba is in Jingzhou, and he should cooperate with the outside and play with the Li family father and son. A thousand miles in a day, there is a sense of soaring. How to stop them is a very serious problem for Zhuge Liang. Even if he has a thousand ways of cunning, he is now beyond the reach of the whip, and he is powerless, not to mention that Wei Ba and Ma Jian have an equally undespised old enemy Li Yan in front of him.
Without the support of Wei Ba and Ma Jian behind him, Zhuge Liang would not have taken Li Yan in his eyes at all, before that, Li Yan had been suppressed by him in Jiangzhou and could not move, and he had no power to fight back. But now the situation is different, Li Yan has strong reinforcements, and he no longer has any advantages.
Hearing the news that Li Feng was sitting in Jiangling, Zhuge Liang smelled the danger in it, but what could he do? Not only could he not stop him, but he also racked his brains about how to protect Jiang Wei.
The culprit that led to the defeat of Jiang Wei's annexation of the state was Wei Yan, and if he wanted to keep Jiang Wei, he had to belittle Wei Yan, but belittled Wei Yan would have a direct conflict with Wei Ba. Li Yan saw this, so he would unscrupulously launch a counterattack, wanting to cut off his only arm, Jiang Wei, leaving him isolated and untied.
It seems like a dead end.
In the face of this dead end, Jiang Wei has the heart to die, but the heart to die cannot solve any practical problems.
Jiang Wei is not good at scheming, which has become his biggest shortcoming. To compete with Wei Ba, he still has a lot to learn. Zhuge Liang was anxious, he didn't know if Jiang Wei would have a chance to win in the face of Wei Ba once he let go.
Zhuge Liang felt very tired, and his heart was really haggard. Looking around, he couldn't find an assistant who could help. picked all the people around him, and none of them had the strength to confront Wei Ba and Ma Jian head-on.
And both of them, who were once close to him, are now his enemies.
Zhuge Liang's mouth was a little bitter. He unexpectedly remembered the snow-white fox fur again.
What did Wei Ba think, did he really want to join hands with me, or did he just want to use me to defeat Li Yan and move towards that supreme position?
Zhuge Liang looked up at the sky, but he didn't know when it started, the sky was full of dark clouds, the starlight was covered by the dark clouds, and disappeared without a trace, and there was chaos in front of him, which was not impressive.
Heavens, is this a sign that the Great Han will be abandoned?
Zhuge Liang suddenly felt dizzy, groaned lowly, raised his hand, and wanted to rub his eyes, but found that his arm had no strength at all. Immediately after, his legs weakened, and his tall body slowly fell, like a mountain suddenly collapsing.
Jiang Wei was shocked, rushed forward, hugged Zhuge Liang in his arms, and hissed: "Prime Minister!" Prime minister! ”
……
Fei Yi returned to his residence, looked at the fox fur, and sighed secretly. The body temperature on the fox fur has been blown away by the mountain wind, and the white fur like snow feels soft to the touch, but there is no temperature at all.
Fei Yi knew that his mission had failed, Zhuge Liang refused to cooperate with Wei Ba, and he asked Wei Ba to give up everything. How is this possible, Wei Ba simply can't give up the rights and status he already has, he will only ask for more. It is commendable that he can take the initiative to make peace with Zhuge Liang. If Zhuge Liang is willing to give up his prejudices and guide him, maybe Wei Ba will not be desperate in a short time. Zhuge Liang made such a request, which was tantamount to taking the initiative to block that road and forcing Wei Ba to go farther and farther.
Fei Yi sat in front of the lamp, staring at the flickering light, thinking for a long time. At this point, he didn't seem to have much choice, but he was still a little hesitant at the thought of parting ways with Zhuge Liang from now on.
He was picked up by Zhuge Liang. He is not from Jingxiang, nor is he from the Yuan Cong lineage, on the contrary, he can't erase the imprint of Liu Zhang's old ministers, and if it weren't for Zhuge Liang, he wouldn't be where he is today. Zhuge Liang has the grace of knowing him, but today, he is leaving Zhuge Liang and joining Wei Ba's command.
He felt a sense of guilt of betrayal.
How did it come to this?
Fei Yi was both in a trance and very dazed. He didn't know that Weishenme would come to this point, Zhuge Liang was so smart and wise, and he had the talented Jingxiang Department as a backup, even within the Yizhou Department, he also had a lot of acquaintances, how could he come to such a desperate end, alone?
Fei Yi stroked the fox fur, thoughtfully, and sighed.
When Fei Yi left the next morning, the post house was quiet, a little deserted, almost indifferent. In the cool morning breeze, he left Zhongnan Mountain and ran to Changsha.
He didn't know that on the stargazing tower behind him, Zhuge Liang's face was like gold paper, and his breath was like a gossamer.
……
When Fei Yi traveled through Nanjun, he was startled by the sight along the way.
Half a month ago, when he passed through Nanjun to the north, Nanjun was still a barren place, walking on the road for most of the day, except for the same passing business travel, there were few people to see at all, but now there are busy crowds everywhere along the way, the closer to Gangneung, the more people, south of Maicheng, I actually saw many villages under construction.
Fei Yi was very curious, he stopped and begged the busy people for a drink. A half-grown man in a half-worn cotton coat brought him a bowl of water and a hot dough cake, and turned around to run.
Fei Yi grabbed him, and the half-grown man struggled and shouted, "You drink yours, just put the bowl on the side of the road after drinking, I'm busy." ”
Fei Yi smiled and said, "What are you busy with, look at this, you are not ten years old yet, right?" ”
"I'm nine years old, and I'll be ten years old after the New Year." The kid subconsciously straightened his waist to make himself look stronger. He wiped his nose with his sleeve, and then realized that it was wrong, and quickly wiped the snot on his sleeve carefully on the sole of his shoe.
"That's not like that." Fei Yi deliberately teased him: "I think you are seven or eight years old at most." ”
"Not really." The kid wrinkled his nose: "I'm hungry." ”
"Hungry? I see that your bread is not bad, and you can still be hungry with such bread to eat? ”
"That's when I was hungry." The kid's eyes widened: "We now have General Zhennan to help, and we have bread and rice every day, how can we be hungry." Look at it, in another six months, I'm sure I'll be tall and strong. ”
Fei Yi's mind moved: "General Zhennan? Do you know General Jinnam? ”
"Of course." The kid raised his head proudly: "When we passed through Dongting, the general invited us to dinner, and I also went, and I also visited the general's battleship." ”
Fei Yi was praised by Wei Ba as a long-sleeved dancer, which was not said casually. He's really good at dealing with people. It didn't take much effort for him to inquire about the secrets of the half-grown son clearly, and knew that the people who had just emerged in front of him were all people from Wu Land in Yiyuzhang or even further away, and there were even many pirates who were directly from the East China Sea.
Fei Yi roughly understood Wei Ba's intentions, and placed these people in Nanjun, on the one hand, it could reduce the pressure of land redistribution and not cause too much impact on the area under his jurisdiction, on the other hand, these people had just moved in and needed a lot of materials, and these were things that Li Feng could not solve, so he could only ask Wei Ba for help. Wei Ba's generosity not only solved Li Feng's problem, gained Li Feng's trust, but also planted seeds in the hearts of these people, and once something happened in the future, these people would naturally support him more.
This is to buy people's hearts, from the words of these people, Fei Yi knew that Li Feng probably hadn't thought of that step, he didn't even think that he should grasp this right of grace in his own hands, he was simply an ignorant officialdom newcomer. If you change someone else, as long as you have a little common sense, you won't give Wei Ba this chance...... (To be continued......)
