Zhuge Liang walked slowly on the city wall of Tongguan, glancing at the Yellow River in the distance from time to time, his eyes were calm, but the corners of his mouth were slightly down, with a touch of disdain. Everywhere he went, the soldiers on the city wall greeted him with their eyes, their bodies motionless, but the admiration in their eyes was fully revealed.

Yang Yi followed behind Zhuge Liang, but he enjoyed a different treatment, he could clearly feel that there was no part of him in the warm eyes of those soldiers, and occasionally someone glanced at him, but also with a little disapproval. Yang Yi was very unhappy, he felt that these people were Wei Yan's subordinates, so he was disrespectful to him.

"Wei Wenchang has a set of soldiers, and all of them are like Wei family soldiers." Yang Yi said angrily with a straight face.

Zhuge Liang turned his head and glanced at him: "If that's the case, it couldn't be better." ”

"Prime Minister?" Yang Yi couldn't help but scream, unable to hide her grievances.

"There are 10,000 people in Tongguan, if these 10,000 people are all soldiers of the Wei family, why should we worry about the next war now?" Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, and shook the official document he had just received in his hand: "Why bother with Li Yan's master?" ”

Yang Yi glanced at the official document, sighed involuntarily, and didn't say anything more. He knew that Zhuge Liang was in a bad mood now, and it would be unwise to bother him with the contradiction between himself and Wei Yan. Li Yan stayed in Jiangzhou for a few years, his ambitions became bigger and bigger, and he was promoted to hussar general last time without success, and he was stable for a few days, and now he wants to open a mansion to govern affairs. He not only wants to open a mansion, but also wants to divide the five counties into Jiangzhou and serve as the pastor of Jiangzhou, which is obviously to fight against Zhuge Liang. In addition to Guanzhong, there is only one state in Shuhan. And Zhuge Liang is Yizhou Mu, Li Yan wants to be Jiangzhou Mu, and of course Zhuge Liang is targeted.

It is conceivable that Zhuge Liang will not agree, if he does not agree, Li Yan will not come to Hanzhong. Li Yan refused to come to Hanzhong, but he was not a bad escort for the grain and grass, but the contradiction between him and Zhuge Liang became public, which was a real blow to Zhuge Liang's majesty. If Li Yan is not subdued, it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be a second one who will jump out. But if you tear your face with Li Yan now. The rest of the war will definitely be affected.

If there is internal instability, how can we fight externally wholeheartedly? Li Yan is in Jiangzhou, if something happens, how can Zhuge Liang rest assured.

As one of Zhuge Liang's henchmen. Yang Yi could understand Zhuge Liang's mood at the moment. Zhuge Liang suddenly rushed from Chang'an to Tongguan. It's not just about inspecting the defense of Tongguan. He needed to enlist Wei Yan's support. The father and son of the Wei family are now in high positions. It is already a liliang that cannot be ignored in the Shu Han army, and its strength is second to none. If you can get Wei Yan's support, you will have a lot of confidence in dealing with Li Yan.

But. Yang Yi is still a little sour after all, who let Wei Yan's father and son keep fighting with him. Wei Yan's gain of power is not a good thing for him.

"Duke Wei, as courtiers, we must put state affairs first." Zhuge Liang said earnestly.

"Don't worry, Prime Minister, I'll take care of it." Yang Yi nodded very reluctantly.

There was a sound of heavy footsteps in the distance, and Wei Yan hurried over in great strides, wearing the set of armor that was regarded as a treasure, and his face was happy. He rushed to Zhuge Liang in a few steps and bowed: "Prime Minister, why are you here, don't give a word in advance, I'll pick you up." ”

Zhuge Liang stroked his beard and smiled. "Advance notice? Where do you see me going with advance notice? I'm just going to make a surprise attack so I can see what's really going on. Inform you in advance, will you not cheat? ”

Wei Yan was stunned for a moment, then hahadaxiao, and raised his thumb: "Prime Minister, what you said is too right." Those people, indeed, if you had given advance notice, all you would see would be haode, and the streets would be clean, not even beggars. However, the prime minister can rest assured that I am leading troops to fight, and I dare not deceive, and if I go to the battlefield, if there is the slightest vanity, I may die. ”

Zhuge Liang nodded with satisfaction: "I have seen it." Wen Chang, if everyone is like you, what worry do I have? It's a pity that there are not many people like Wen Chang who are dedicated to the public. ”

Wei Yan shrugged his eyebrows, thoughtfully, and became a little nervous: "My unfilial son is in trouble again?" ”

Zhuge Liang was stunned, then shook his head and laughed, and walked forward slowly. Wei Yan accompanied him carefully, followed on the side, and inadvertently squeezed Yang Yi away from Zhuge Liang. Yang Yi was so angry that her face turned blue, but she was helpless. He couldn't complain to Zhuge Liang like a child, saying that Wei Yan was bullying him or something.

"Ziyu is playing very well in Jiaozhou." Zhuge Liang put away his smile and briefly told Wei Ba about the battle situation in Jiaozhou. "He even took the Yan Pass, Wen Chang, can you think of how he won it?"

Wei Yan blinked blankly, a little puzzled. Although he and Wei Ba are father and son, they cannot directly exchange military information, and he knows far less about Wei Ba than Zhuge Liang. He has not been very clear about Wei Ba's situation. He didn't even know that Wei Ba was no longer in Wuling and had gone to Jiaozhou. Zhuge Liang said that sentence just now, he thought that Wei Ba had poked out the basket again.

"You don't know about Yanguan, do you?" Zhuge Liang explained: "The situation of Yanguan is roughly equivalent to the previous Hangu Pass, which is built between two mountains, and the situation is dangerous and difficult to defend. There is also a small strict pass in the north of the Guan, which is a horn for each other, and it is also easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”

Wei Yan roughly understood what was going on with Yan Guan, and his face couldn't help but become serious: "That's not easy to attack." ”

"But no, since the establishment of the Yanguan, it has not been overcome. Although Ziyu said that he did not conquer it from the front, but from behind the Yan Pass, he was also the first person to overcome the Yan Pass. Wen Chang, go out of the door, I think Ziyu's achievements will be above you in the future. You've got to work hard. ”

Wei Yan was proud, but he said modestly without any sincerity in his mouth: "The prime minister has won the award, the prime minister has won the award." ”

"Ziyu's battle was fought well, and the Jiaozhou trade road was opened, which was of great help to the situation of our entire Han Dynasty. He wants to transport rice from Jiaozhou to Chengdu, which can greatly alleviate the grain problem. In the future, if you reconcile with Sun Quan again, Jiaozhou rice can go directly to Chang'an through Jingzhou, and you can also benefit from it. ”

"How is Jiaozhou rice?" Wei Yan asked curiously.

Zhuge Liang frowned: "Wen Chang, I'm going to criticize you a few words." Don't you understand the situation in Jiaozhou at all? ”

Wei Yan shrugged his shoulders embarrassedly: "Jiaozhou is too far away, I have never cared about things there." There...... Isn't it a wild place? It seems that there is nothing but pearls. ”

Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly: "Look, you don't have Ziyu's vision, you should usually read a little more books on the earth, for the general, you should know astronomy and geography, understand the customs of all parties, and have financial resources, so that you can know it in your heart." At this point, Ziyu is stronger than you. If he didn't know Jiaozhou so well, how could he send troops to Jiaozhou. Every step he takes is profound, planning and then acting, and he is the way to go. ”

Wei Yan nodded repeatedly. "The prime minister's lesson is that I will definitely study more in the future."

"We'll talk about that later. I'm here today to discuss something with you. Last time you told me that you wanted to transfer Ziyu to Guanzhong, I didn't agree, because the time was not ripe and his task had not yet been completed......"

Wei Yan was overjoyed when he heard this. "The prime minister has decided to transfer him over now?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head. "He won't come to Guanzhong, I want him to go back to Chengdu."

"Back to Chengdu?" Wei Yan was puzzled. "The big war is coming, wouldn't it be better for Weishenme to let him stay in Chengdu and serve on the front line?"

Zhuge Liang sighed. "I didn't know that it was better for Ziyu to come to the front, but there were more important things for him to do. The army did not move, and the grain and grass went first. If we don't have competent people to supervise the transportation of grain and grass, how can we fight with peace of mind? ”

Wei Yan frowned: "Didn't you say that the general of the dart cavalry is responsible for supervising the transportation of grain and grass?" ”

Zhuge Liang handed the official document in his hand to Wei Yan. Wei Yan took it and looked at it, and couldn't help but be furious. "The rat dares to be so ignorant of lifting, in vain trying to stand up to the prime minister and sit side by side. Is there still condescension in his eyes? ”

"He also followed the first emperor back then and made great contributions, and I can't help but tolerate him. Since he refuses to do such a thing as supervising the transportation of grain and grass, I can only let Ziyu come back and be responsible. But Ziyu made such a great contribution in Jiaozhou, and asked him to go back to Chengdu to supervise the transportation of grain and grass, but he was a little wronged. ”

"What's wronged?" Wei Yan's eyes widened. "No matter how great his contribution is, he is also a courtier of the Han Dynasty, and he must obey the orders of the prime minister. If you dare to say half a word, see how I clean him up. ”

Zhuge Liang smiled. "You don't have to be in such a hurry to make a conclusion, I believe Ziyu is a person who understands the general situation. Well, write a letter and tell him about our difficulties, and I'm sure he will understand us. ”

"Whoa." Wei Yan nodded and replied loudly.

……

Jiangzhou, the head of Orange Island, the orange groves all over the mountains are reflected in the river water, dyeing the heaven and earth into a golden yellow.

Li Yan fiddled with an orange in his hand, and his face was full of helpless wry smiles. "The prime minister has good means, and he actually threatened me with the father and son of the Wei family, it seems that I can't do it if I don't go."

Li Feng stood on one side, with a gloomy face, looking at the endless river, and said indignantly: "Weishenme? Are we afraid of the Wei family's father and son? Wei Yan is so arrogant, where is his father in his eyes? I think that at the beginning, when my father was a taishou, he was just a tooth goalkeeper. Now that he has been promoted, his temper has become bigger, and he only has the prime minister in his eyes, and there is no one else. But in the end, he is just a reckless man, and he can't even see such a strategy, what good is it for him to be a martial artist and an enemy of our father and son? ”

Li Yan was silent. After a long time, he said to Li Feng: "You send someone to Wuling, tell Wei Ba's intentions, and see what Wei Ba himself will do?" ”

Li Feng nodded. "I see. I have been in contact with Wei Ba, and he is not as stupid as Wei Yan, so he will not fail to see the sinister intentions of the prime minister. Hmph, it's okay to let the prime minister see Wei Ba's true face, so that he can appreciate the loyalty of our father and son. I want to see if Wei Ba refuses to go back, how will the prime minister explain it to everyone......"

Li Yan sank his face and interrupted Li Feng's self-talk angrily: "I think you are really stupid, if Wei Ba refuses to return to Chengdu, it is also disobeying his father's will, what does it have to do with the prime minister?" Do you think the prime minister would be stupid enough to make this public? ”

Li Feng's face was red, and he was speechless. (To be continued......)
