Wei Ba had long been aware of Zhuge Liang's thoughts, but he knew that he couldn't fight against Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang has the name of the imperial court in his hands, and he can give the Jiangdong family official positions and titles, which he can't give, so he can only take advantage of the situation and use Zhuge Liang's means to get some benefits. Before that, he recruited Zhang Wen into his command, and now Zhang Wen is a ship supervisor in Yuzhang Shipyard, and he is proud of the spring breeze, and he has long parted ways with Sun Quan, and then he talked with Lu Xun in Jiangling all night, and he did not dare to expect Lu Xun to bow down to him, at least let him not fully fall to the court.

Now that Lu Xun dares to stand up and confront Sun Quan, it is not entirely the credit of Zhuge Liang, he also has an achievement.

No matter how smart Zhuge Liang is, no matter how clever his scheming is, some things are still insurmountable. For example, longevity, such as Liu Chan's IQ, such as the development of financial resources. Zhuge Liang is a rare opponent among his peers, but when he meets him, a person from another life, some gaps are not something that can be made up by being smart.

This is where Wei Ba's real advantage lies.

So Wei Ba saw through Zhuge Liang's thoughts, but he didn't say it, and still came to the East China Sea. The battlefield in his heart is much bigger than the battlefield in Zhuge Liang's heart, no matter how big Zhuge Liang's victory is, it is also a victory on a local battlefield, and it is difficult to have a subversive impact on the entire battlefield.

"General, is that to take Qingzhou or Youzhou first?"

"It's not in a hurry, it's not time yet, don't startle the snake." Wei Ba looked at the line where the sea and the sky met in the distance, said indifferently, then closed his eyes and yawned. "I'm a little sleepy, get some sleep."

Fa Miao and Yin Fan smiled and shook their heads. They know. Wei Ba still had ideas in his heart, but he didn't say it, this needed to be slowly figured out by their cronies. As a superior, there are always some little secrets, even if they are trusted cronies, they can't tell them all.

This is also a potential, a potential unique to those in a higher position. Zhuge Liang is seizing the power of Sun, while Wei Ba is secretly cultivating his own power, and the contest of power and strategy is, in the final analysis, a battle for power.

"Then follow the established jihua. Continue sailing north. Fa Miao said to Yinbo, "It's time for you to activate those seeds scattered in Youzhou. ”

"That's nature." Yin Fan replied. Turned and entered his exclusive cabin.

……

Yangle County, Liaoxi County, Jieshi Mountain.

Wu Qiu Jian put his hands behind his back, looked at a few black spots in the sea in the distance, and was silent. Behind him. It's the famous stone. Qin Shi Huang came to see this stone. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came to see this stone. When Emperor Cao Cao of Wei Wu went north to conquer Wuhuan, he also came to see this stone, and also left the popular "Watching the Sea".

Right now. Wei Ba is also coming. He took thousands of sailors and nearly 100 warships of all sizes all the way from Qingzhou.

Some of the people who have come here before have come by sea, but no one has ever used a route like him, which is mainly by sea and almost does not go ashore. Because of this, Wu Qiujian was a little nervous. People have an inexplicable fear of things that they are not familiar with. At the beginning of Nanxiang, Wei Ba's brother Wei Feng used a tactic that no one had ever used, rushed to Nanxiang City, broke through his defense line, led to the loss of Nanxiang County, and the Shu Han army entered Nanyang from the west, forcing the Son of Heaven Cao Rui Zuihou to abandon Nanyang and flee back to Luoyang in embarrassment.

As a trusted confidant of the Son of Heaven, Wu Qiu Jian is obsessed with that battle. The reason why he took the initiative to ask to come to Youzhou was because he knew that Wei Ba's next target was Liaodong, and he wanted to defeat Wei Ba's Jihua, protect Wei's left ribs, and wash away his shame, in order to repay Emperor Bixia for his grace of not killing.

was about to fight Wei Ba again, and Wu Qiu Jian was both a little excited and a little nervous.

He saw a ship approaching from a distance, approaching the shore, and several people got out of the boat and walked unhurriedly towards the mountain.

Wu Qiu Jian frowned. He didn't know what these people were here for, could it be that Wei Ba wanted to persuade him to surrender? Thinking of this possibility, Wu Qiu Jian couldn't help but sneer. If you are willing to surrender, he will surrender when he was captured in Nanxiang, so why wait until now.

After about half a time, the men walked down the hill and were stopped by the soldiers of the guard battalion. A personal guard ran up and reported to Wu Qiujian.

It was Wei Ba's subordinate, and the leader was called Wei Xing.

Wu Qiu Jian thought about it and remembered this person. This person named Wei Xing should be one of Wei Ba's henchmen, and he was standing behind Wei Ba at that time.

"Let him come up." Wu Qiu Jian sat down on a stone, expressionless and inviolable.

Wei Xing walked over, glanced at the serious Wuqiu Jian, and couldn't help but smile. He arched his hand very casually: "So that you don't come to harm?" ”

Wu Qiu Jian did not answer him, but asked, "What do you want to see me?" ”

Wei Xing was stunned for a moment, then smiled. He shook his head: "I don't want to see you, I just want to see this stone." He pointed to the stele by Li Sishudan. The young master of my family admired Li Si's calligraphy, so I brought a few people to expand a piece of calligraphy so that I could play with it. ”

Wu Qiu Jian was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Wei Ba to have such leisure and elegance. His eyes flashed, and he said: "The rubbing is fake, but the terrain is real, right?" Li Si is just a minister, no matter how wonderful the calligraphy is, how to admire it. ”

"A gentleman does not waste people with words, and he does not waste words with people. The morality of Li Si has nothing to do with the subtlety of his calligraphy. Wei Xing smiled and said: "It's like someone treats your Emperor Wei Wu as a traitor, and it doesn't affect the subtlety of his "Viewing the Sea", envoy, don't you say?" ”

Wu Qiu Jian's face sank: "Bold, do you dare to compare the wise and martial Emperor Wu with a minister like Li Si?" ”

"What's not to do?" Wei Xing asked rhetorically: "I am Han Chen, in my eyes, isn't your Emperor Wei Wu a rebel minister who plots to usurp the throne?" I'm afraid it's even more unbearable than Lis. ”

Wu Qiu Jian was furious, stood up, pulled out half of the long knife, and shouted: "Shaft, do you think my knife is not good? ”

"What about the blade?" Wei Xing glanced at him disappreciatively: "If the envoy wants to fight, the young master of my family is there, waiting for him at any time." As for me, it's just a mere song, so that Jun Sheng's victory is not martial. Envoy, although the young master of my family captured you at the beginning, he didn't belittle you, so you don't even have the stomach to let us expand a monument today, right? ”

Wu Qiu Jian couldn't scare Wei Xing, and he couldn't help but blush when he broke through the humiliating experience of being captured that year. He snorted, pushed his hand, sheathed the knife, and turned away. "The gentleman smells the incense, the mosquitoes and flies chase the smell, since he likes it, then expand it, why not."

"Thank you." Wei Xing arched his hand and asked people to call the craftsman of the rubbing. The craftsmen put away the tools and raised the monument, but Wei Xing walked to Wuqiu Jian's side, stood side by side with him, looked at Wu Qiujian sideways, and smiled slightly: "Envoy, do you want to fight with my young master again?" ”

Wu Qiu Jian raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

"The young master of my family only brought 8,000 sailors, go ashore, not your opponent, go to the sea, I guess you won't dare." Wei Xing didn't care, blowing the sea breeze, closed his eyes comfortably, and sighed exaggeratedly. "So you're doomed to disappointment."

Wu Qiu Jian was very depressed. Compared to Wei Xing, he seemed too nervous, and he did not have the graceful demeanor of a celebrity. He coughed, letting himself relax. "In that case, wouldn't it be a winner?"

"Regardless of victory or defeat, it is only for a while, not for a lifetime." Wei Xing turned his face sideways and looked at Wu Qiujian playfully: "The young master of my family is going to continue to go north and east, I don't know if the envoy will follow?" ”

Wu Qiu was frugal, and then said: "Could it be that General Wei is going to a wild place, a place where no one is going to show his troops?" ”

Wei Xing burst out laughing and shook his head: "The envoy is worthy of being a celebrity, obviously he can't follow, but he seems to disdain to follow." Yes, from here to the north, it is a wild land for you, a place where no one is, but for the young master of my family, it is still the land of the Han Dynasty. ”

He waved his hand and pointed to the sea in front of him: "Including the thousands of blue waves here, wherever the warship goes, it will all belong to my big man." ”

Wu Qiu Jian snorted and dismissed. "The arrogance is commendable, but I am afraid that there will be too many worries."

Wei Xing replied: "Short-sighted, it is inevitable that there will be a frog at the bottom of the well. ”

Wu Qiu Jian was speechless, and his heart couldn't help but feel irritable. As an important minister trusted by the Son of Heaven, and as a famous scholar in Luoyang, he was now speechless by one of Wei Ba's songs, which made him feel very uncomfortable. In his opinion, he is a person on the same level as Xiahou Xuan and Zhuge Dan, and it is not easy to deal with a martial artist? But the facts made him very disappointed, Wei Xing's reaction was fast, and he did not fall behind at all.

On the contrary, he relied on Wei Ba's strength to take advantage.

That's right, no matter how much he hides it, he can't hide his regret that Liliang is insufficient. From here to the north, there are nearly a thousand miles of open space. Back then, Cao Cao went north to Wuhuan, but he only turned back when he reached Liucheng. It's not that he doesn't want to take advantage of the situation to capture Liaodong, but he can't do it. Such a long distance requires a lot of baggage and sufficient preparation, which he can't accomplish with a mere Youzhou assassin history. Only the imperial court has such strength, and the imperial court is now unable to take care of Liaodong at all, otherwise it would not recognize Gongsun Yuan as the king of Yan.

Therefore, he couldn't follow any longer, and could only watch Wei Ba go to Liaodong. Whether Gongsun Yuan refused to defend or secretly communicated with Wei Ba, he couldn't stop it at all, and he couldn't even know the details. The strength is insufficient, you can only look at the sea and sigh, what is the use of being able to speak the Tao?

Wu Qiu Jian felt an unspeakable shame. He felt that Wei had fallen into today's situation, and he also had a responsibility that he could not shirk, if he hadn't been defeated in Nanxiang, Nanyang would not have been lost, and he would not have let the Han and Wu coalition forces threaten the national capital Luoyang.

The old enemy Zaijian, his eyes were red, and Wu Qiu Jian held back his strength, wanting to defeat Wei Ba and avenge the public, but he was now looking at Wei Ba just a stone's throw away but could not do anything. This made him very frustrated and very angry. Looking at Wei Xing's disgusting face, he wanted to slash over and cut him in half.

But he couldn't. If you want to cut it, it makes sense to cut Wei Ba, if you cut Wei Xing to death, you can't hurt Wei Ba's hair, you will only become a laughing stock for others.

I can't let Wei Ba be so proud, I have to catch up with him and catch him off guard.

The corners of Wu Qiu Jian's mouth twitched: "Autumn has arrived, the east wind is strong, be careful to flash your tongue and turn over the battleship." ”
