In the middle of the dock, in the main court of the inner city, the lights are bright, and there are four cases in the hall, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan sit on the top two, Wei Yan's lower hand sits on Wei Ba, Zhao Yun's lower hand sits on Zhao Guang, and Deng Zhi and Zhao Guang sit together. They talked and laughed, staggered and enjoyed the joy of victory.

Under the hall, dozens of desks were placed in the courtyard, Wei Yan's subordinates on the one hand, Zhao Yun's subordinates on the other, originally distinct, but this time the two sides cooperated, defeated the Wei army, and saw that the entire Guanzhong was their spoils, they were in a very good mood, you respect me, I respect you, I can't tell who is General Zhao's subordinates, who is General Wei's subordinates.

As the first contribution, Wei Ba got the most admiration and drank the most wine, if it weren't for thinking that there would be big things to talk about for a while, and he was deliberately controlled, Wei Ba would have slipped to the ground a long time ago. Despite this, he was still red from drinking, dizzy and dizzy, so he had to beg his senior brother Zhao Guang to stop him.

Zhao Guang was both happy and envious, Wei Ba made this miraculous feat, and he was about to be promoted again, which was only half a year after he was last promoted to the Prime Minister's Mansion to join the army.

"Ziyu, if there is anything good next time, you can't hide it from us like this." Zhao Guang complained half-truthfully: "You are happy in Guanzhong, but my father has been sad for a long time, you are his only disciple, and he died like this, he is very lost." ”

Wei Ba hahadaxiao, hugging Zhao Guang's neck. "Senior brother, I have understood your intentions. This time there is no way, if I don't keep it secret, my life will not be guaranteed. He paused for a moment, burped, and continued: "However, taking Guanzhong is just the beginning, and holding Guanzhong is the real big thing." Senior brother, next, there is still a tough battle to fight. You need to be prepared. ”

Zhao Guang became excited and nodded again and again: "No problem, no problem." I was ready for it. ”

Zhao Yun, who was talking to Wei Yan, glanced at Zhao Guang and Wei Ba, who were talking to each other, put down the wine glass in his hand, and smiled slightly: "Wen Chang, Bo Miao." The old man is old and too strong to drink. That's all for today, right? ”

Wei Yan hadn't finished his fun, but since Zhao Yun had said so. He was not reluctant, exchanged a look with Deng Zhi, and said in unison: "Since this is the case, then stop here." He stood up and clapped his hands, and the generals in the hall who were fighting for wine raised their heads to look at him. Ladies and gentlemen, today is a battle of praise. A big victory, but it's not worth being happy, there are still a lot of big battles to be fought in the future, and I ask you to be vigilant and do your part. If something goes wrong. Military law is unforgiving. ”

The generals were surprised, only the generals of the Wei family agreed loudly, and after a while, Zhao Yun's subordinates agreed with nonsense, messy, and the meaning of coping was very obvious.

Wei Ba frowned, he knew that Daddy Wei Yan had overstepped his authority by doing this. In any case, Zhao Yun has more subordinates than him, and his qualifications are older than him, of course, these words should be more appropriate for Zhao Yun, even Deng Zhi, as the prison army, is also more suitable than him. He rushed to say it, it didn't matter what the Wei family's subordinates were, but what would Zhao Yun's subordinates think? What would Zhao Yun himself think? Even if Zhao Yun didn't take care of these, what would Deng Zhi think?

At this moment, Zhao Yun glanced at Deng Zhi. Deng Zhi smiled bitterly, nodded, got up and walked to the front of the steps, glanced at everyone in the hall majestically, and coughed: "General Zhendong's words, didn't you hear it, is the wine prepared by Wei Senjun too good and drank too much, or is it stuffed with bird feathers in his ears and can't hear clearly?" ”

When Zhao Yun's subordinates saw that the prison army came out to speak, supported Wei Yan, and gave them a chance to step down, they immediately coaxed the hall and agreed in unison, and then withdrew.

Wei Ba also got up, invited Zhao Yun, Wei Yan and Deng Zhi into the inner hall, put the decanting soup on the table again, and then spread out a map of Guanzhong. This silk map was left by Xiahou Mao, and there is a large blood stain on it.

Wei Ba arched his hand to Deng Zhi: "General Deng? ”

Deng Zhi smiled slightly, took a sip of the decanting soup, shook his head and said, "I don't know about the situation in Guanzhong. You are joining the army in the Prime Minister's Mansion again, and this time you are using Chang'an, and it is the task that the Prime Minister personally arranged for you, the Prime Minister is not there, you are his representative, or you will explain it. ”

Wei Ba didn't even dare to say it, but he was relieved in his heart. Now the situation here is a bit complicated, Master Zhao Yun has a lot of troops and old qualifications, if he wants to fight, he is more qualified than Daddy Wei Yan to fight for the position of the main general. In addition, Deng Zhi, the prison army, cannot be ignored, he even has a say in name than Zhao Yun, because he represents the emperor.

That's right, he, the central supervisor, was appointed by Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, but nominally, the central supervisor army was sent by the emperor, but the Son of Heaven gave this right to Zhuge Liang - whether active or passive. If Deng Zhi had a different opinion, even if Zhao Yun was willing to give in, he would have to consider Deng Zhi's ideas.

Fortunately, Deng Zhi did not fight with him, and tacitly acquiesced that he could represent Zhuge Liang here, that is, he could make the next tactical arrangements on behalf of Zhuge Liang before Zhuge Liang came to the pass in person, or before a clear order arrived.

That's the great support.

Wei Yan may think it doesn't matter, but Wei Ba knows very well the meaning of Deng Zhi's words. He politely saluted Deng Zhi and looked at Zhao Yun again. Zhao Yunren is old and sophisticated, how can he not understand this delicate relationship. He was able to get out of the valley smoothly, it was the credit of the Wei family's father and son, how much effort the Wei family spent on sending troops to the pass, he could estimate at a glance, since Deng Zhi was relieved, there was no need for him to fight with Wei Yan for this main general.

What's more, he also knows that he is just an ornament, and if Zhuge Liang is here, he probably won't appoint him as the main general.

"Since Bo Miao admires you, don't be polite, and tell us about the situation in the gate."

"Whoa." Wei Ba was no longer polite, pointed to the map, and roughly explained the situation in Guanzhong.

"Now Cao Wei's main force is in Longyou, and he is confronting the prime minister's army. We don't know much about the situation in Longyou, but we learned from Cao Wei's military report that the three counties of Nan'an, Tianshui, and Anding in Longyou have surrendered to the prime minister, and now only Longxi County is still lingering. We don't know where Guo Huai and his 20,000 subordinates are. However, with a disparity of more than three to one, the chances of them defeating the prime minister were slim. ”

Wei Ba drew a circle in Guanzhong.

"Now Cao Wei has almost no heavy troops in Guanzhong, except for the fortress of Yiwu, which has fallen into our hands, Tongguan has been controlled by our army, and is stepping up the repair of the city wall. Now we need our attention. There are also the following places. Wei Ba passed a little on the map: "Wuguan, Longshan, Xiaoguan, and Pubanjin north of Tongguan." Other than that. And Chang'an......"

Deng Zhi raised his hand and interrupted Wei Ba's words: "Ziyu, you said that we want to defend Tongguan and Pubanjin, Wuguan, and Xiaoguan, I can understand it. Why defend Longshan? ”

Wei Ba put down his hand and was silent for a moment: "General Deng, do you know what the cavalry ratio of Cao Wei's army is?" ”

Deng Zhi smiled disapprenously: "Cao Wei is dominated by iron horses. The proportion of their cavalry is about 10%, and I still know this. With Guo Huai's 20,000 men, he should have 2,000 cavalry, and even if he has 2,000 cavalry, it can't decide the entire battle situation. ”

Wei Ba nodded: "General Deng is really clear about the composition of Cao Wei's troops, but. You also forgot that Guo Huai has always been in Longyou, and Longyou is a place for raising horses, and the proportion of cavalry in the local garrison is much higher than the average proportion of the Wei army. In other words, Guo Huai had more than 2,000 cavalry under his command. Maybe three thousand, maybe four thousand, maybe even as high as five thousand. ”

"These four or five thousand cavalry may not be able to make up for the gap between him and the prime minister, but if these five thousand cavalry break through to the pass, it will be a disaster for us." Wei Ba spread his hands: "You should know that we don't have formed cavalry now. ”

Deng Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned red, but he still retorted: "Then you mean to control Longshan and block these five thousand cavalry in Longyou?" ”

"yes, that's what I thought." Wei Ba said bluntly.

"But in this way, although Guanzhong is safe, the pressure of the prime minister is ...... It's big. Deng Zhi's voice became cold, and his eyes were a little unkind.

Zhao Yun's white eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and he picked up the decanting soup and blocked his face. Wei Yan's face turned cold, and just as he was about to speak, Wei Ba gave him a look, shook his head, and said to Deng Zhi confidently: "May I ask General Deng, what difficulties do you think the prime minister must overcome if he wants to take all Longyou and then seize Guanzhong?" ”

Deng Zhi smiled disapprenously: "Please also ask Wei to join the army for advice." ”

Deng Zhi refuted Wei Ba's opinion just now, and now he has changed his name, and he is obviously a little unhappy. Wei Yan was annoyed and sank his face. When Wei Ba saw it, he gave him a look one after another, signaling him to be calm and not to be impatient. Since Deng Zhi can be appointed by Zhuge Liang as the supervisor, it is conceivable that he is a person that Zhuge Liang can trust, and it is expected to think about Zhuge Liang. For a person like him, if he can be persuaded by reason, it is best not to be rude, otherwise the contradiction will only get bigger and bigger, which is very unfavorable to his jihua.

"I have some superficial thoughts and omissions, and I ask Deng Jianjun not to laugh." Wei Ba said very politely: "The prime minister wants to take all of Longyou, one is for the war horse, the other is for the grain transfer is more convenient than other roads, although it is not too convenient, and the third is for Longyou to be farther away from Luoyang, Cao Wei wants to support, and the battle line will be too long." ”

Deng Zhi nodded expressionlessly.

"Now, we have captured Guanzhong, and Guanzhong can solve two of these three problems." Wei Ba talked eloquently: "First, since the beginning of the year, I have persuaded Xiahou Mao to Tuntian, now that the crops have matured, I have arranged for people to harvest and received grain, which can be transported to Longyou by ship to supply the prime minister's army and solve the difficulty of grain transshipment from Hanzhong." ”

"Second, if we hold Guanzhong, Cao Wei's reinforcements will not be able to advance westward, and as long as the prime minister defeats Guo Huai, he can take all Longyou."

"If you take Longyou, you will have a war horse, and the third problem will be solved."

"Then, the key now is not in Longyou, but in Guanzhong. Guanzhong is the eye of the whole chess game. Holding Guanzhong, west of Tongguan, is a big game of chess, the prime minister advances and retreats freely, loses Guanzhong, and loses the whole game. Wei Ba slowed down his speech and said word by word: "General Deng, do you think that after the five thousand Wei army elite cavalry enter Guanzhong, we can still hold Guanzhong?" Losing Guanzhong, can the prime minister successfully occupy Longyou? ”

Deng Zhi was silent and speechless.
