Shangtai.

Zhuge Liang gently put the battle report on the case, crossed his fingers, and his thin face was not shocked, but there was a strange loss in his eyes. Huo Yi stood beside him without saying a word, bowing his head, waiting for the prime minister's orders. He knew very well what Zhuge Liang's mood would be at this time. Wei Yan broke into the east of the river with a surprise army, attacked Cao Zhen's camp, and burned the warships he had collected, so that in a short period of time, Cao Wei should not have enough boats to cross the river, and he would not be able to break through to Pubanjin.

Tongguan was repaired by Wei Ba to be impregnable, and Pubanjin was safe again for the time being, so only Wuguan remained. Wuguan is actually the safest of the three passes in the east of the Guandong, because although Sima Yi has more than 30,000 people, Meng Da and others are in Fangling, Lu Xun of Eastern Wu is also in Xiling, including Sun Quan himself is also in Wuchang, Sima Yi is impossible to attack with all his strength, plus the time that Wei Yan has won at this moment, Wei Ba can completely free up his hands to strengthen the defense of Wuguan.

thought that the most difficult to hold Guanzhong was actually safe for the time being, but Zhuge Liang's main force was trapped in Shangqi, and it was difficult to advance an inch, and Ma Yan, who led the army to attack Yuzhong, had no good news, so how could Zhuge Liang prove his right to others?

With the stalemate of the battle, there have been some unpleasant rumors in the camp, the main purpose is that Zhuge Liang uses nepotism and uses Ma Tan, a scholar with no combat experience, as a general, so that the troops are under the fortification. In fact, blaming Ma Jian is only one aspect, but the main target is Zhuge Liang himself, because Zhuge Liang has led an army of 50,000 to besiege Shangqi for two months, and there has been no substantial progress. Yongzhou Thorn Shi Guo Huai is in the city, only separated by a wall, Zhuge Liang just can't catch him, can't take down Shangqi.

Neither Zhuge Liang nor Ma Jian were able to complete the battle as expected, but Wei Ba made the impossible possible, although this was also a good thing for the overall battle situation. But in the mouths of those with ulterior motives, this has undoubtedly become another ironclad proof that Zhuge Liang will not use soldiers and people.

What makes Zhuge Liang even more difficult is. Wei Ba proposed several candidates and asked for them to be temporarily appointed as officials in Guanzhong in order to stabilize the situation in Guanzhong and hold on for a longer time. These people are all from Hanzhong. From various families in Hanzhong, Wei Ba made this suggestion at this time, and the meaning was already very clear. He wants to rely on the Liliang of the Hanzhong people to hold Guanzhong, and of course he has to give benefits to the Hanzhong people. From the perspective of the overall battle situation, this plan is correct, and the fault lies in the fundamental contradiction between Wei Ba's proposal and Zhuge Liang's overall concept.

It is impossible for Wei Ba not to know this contradiction, and he still raised it, that is, he is challenging Zhuge Liang's employment policy. It was not only the Hanzhong people who watched the battle, but also all the Yizhou people. Even the Yuan subordinate system, including Zhao Yun, liliang. Zhao Yun, as the representative of the Yuan subordinate department, obeyed Wei Ba's arrangement, helped him form a cavalry of more than 2,000 people, and personally stationed in Pubanjin, but left Chang'an to Wei Ba. This already shows his attitude.

He was dissatisfied with Zhuge Liang's practice of relying on Jingxiang people, excluding other liliang, and suppressing the Yuan subordinate lineage, intentionally or unintentionally.

If it is someone else's interest group that jumps out to challenge Zhuge Liang, then that's it, but now it is Wei Ba's father and son who also belong to the Jingxiang family who jump out, which is tantamount to a resounding slap in the face to Zhuge Liang, no matter how he deals with it, the joke is seen by others.

The loudest counterattack at the moment is nothing more than to take down Shangtai and Yuzhong, take down the entire Longyou, and further eliminate Cao Wei's Liliang in Longyou, and use his great military exploits to declare his strength and prove his correctness, but the problem is that Zhuge Liang can't do this.

He couldn't quickly conquer Shangtai, and Ma Jian couldn't quickly conquer Yuzhong.

Huo Yi sighed secretly, Zhuge Liang couldn't conquer Shangqi, it seemed that it was also providence. There is only one reason why Shangtai has been able to hold on until now: Guo Huai is in the city, he still has more than 5,000 soldiers, and outside the city, there are more than 3,000 cavalry. Guo Huai didn't want to escape, he couldn't escape, Ma Jian was too anxious at that time, and Guo Huai was in a hurry, so he had to hide in Shangtai City. This directly caused the city to have enough defensive troops in Shangtai. Although Zhuge Liang has more than 50,000 people, most of them are recruits, and he is a master of mountain warfare, but he is not good at siege warfare. Comparing the advantages and disadvantages of the two sides, it is normal for Shangqi to be able to stick to it until now.

Zhuge Liang is not without opportunities, although there are enough troops in Shangtai City, and there is also Guo Huai, a veteran general who has been fighting for many years, but they have a fatal flaw: they do not have enough food, and it is impossible to have reinforcements in the short term. As long as Zhuge Liang is given a little time, it is not surprising that Shangtai City will not be attacked.

The problem is that those opponents do not intend to give Zhuge Liang time, they intentionally or unintentionally ignore the glorious results of Zhuge Liang's army, but firmly grasp the fact that Zhuge Liang did not conquer Shangqi, and constantly put pressure on Zhuge Liang. Now that Wei Ba has come to such a hand again, he has forced Zhuge Liang to the point of a dilemma.

If they do not agree with Wei Ba's proposal, then their contradictions will become public. agreeing is undoubtedly to make Wei Ba further bigger, and the disaster will be even worse in the future.

Huo Yi didn't know what Zhuge Liang would do. If Ma Jian was here, Zhuge Liang would discuss with him, but Ma Jian is now in Yuzhong, and Zhuge Liang doesn't even have anyone to discuss.

Zhuge Liang pondered for a long time, let go of his hand, and commanded softly: "Gather the important subordinates of the Prime Minister's Mansion to discuss Wei Ba's proposal." ”

Huo Yi hesitated: "Prime Minister? He knew very well that the results of the meeting of the important Peng subordinates of the Prime Minister's Mansion were self-explanatory, and there were different opinions within the Jingxiang family, and everyone else would agree with this opinion, they would definitely be happy to see the internal strife of the Jingxiang family, and they would also be happy to see the non-Jingxiang Liliang on the stage. For them, it doesn't matter whether Wei Ba is dead or alive, it is a good thing that someone jumps out to fight for power with Zhuge Liang, and the current time is so appropriate and so high-sounding.

"It's okay, you go and deliver my orders."

"Whoa." Huo Yi didn't dare to slack off, turned around and went out. Zhuge Liang picked up the military report again and read it again, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

……

Peng Heng looked at Peng Xiaoyu in the wheelchair, was stunned for a long time, and suddenly became furious: "I'm going to kill that shaft!" ”

Peng Xiaoyu was a little tired, she leaned back in her chair and looked at Peng Heng silently: "Brother, if you want to avenge me, you should kill Xiahou Hui." She was the one who put me in prison and ordered me to be tortured. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Peng Heng said sharply, walked to the door, waved his hand, signaled the guards at the door to be on guard, closed the door with his hand, and walked back to Peng Xiaoyu: "Miss Xiahou is the wife of the lord who has not passed the door, and she will also be my ......master mother in the future."

Peng Xiaoyu smiled slightly and interrupted Peng Heng's words: "So you only dare to be angry with others? ”

Peng Heng was stunned, he stared at Peng Xiaoyu for a long time, and suddenly sneered: "I understand, little sister, are you stimulated and dizzy, and you actually venture to Wancheng to be a lobbyist for him?" ”

Peng Xiaoyu propped her arms on the armrests, supported her cheeks, and smiled faintly at the corners of her mouth, and then nodded: "Yes." ”

Peng Heng was so attracted by his sister's demeanor just now that his nose was sour, and his tone couldn't help but soften. He knew very well that only a woman would have such an expression when she thought of the person closest to her. I don't know if my sister will think of herself when she is in Chang'an, and she will be so fascinated.

“weishenme？”

"Brother, you know what?" Peng Xiaoyu raised her slender eyes and looked at Peng Heng with a smile: "The letter persuading Xiahou Mao to surrender was written by Xiahou Hui. She originally added a sentence and asked Xiahou Mao to guarantee my safety. ”

Peng Heng frowned and didn't say anything. He knew very well that this sentence seemed to be demanding, but in fact it was dangerous. If Xiahou Mao saw this, he was likely to use his sister to blackmail Wei Ba, but Wei Ba was unlikely to give up Chang'an because of his sister. In other words, Xiahou Hui wrote this sentence, which is equivalent to pushing his sister to the brink of life and death again.

Even though Xiahou Hui was his future housewife, he was a little annoyed.

"But the young master asked her to erase this sentence and rewrite it, and she was not allowed to mention anything related to me."

Peng Heng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, then pursed his lips again, and said disdainfully: "Do you think he has you in his heart, so he is desperate for him?" You don't want to think about how you were arrested by Miss Xiahou, not because he surrendered, but used you as a cover-up. ”

"He's a deception, he's more dangerous than me."

"That's his business, he shouldn't have pulled you in."

"But the reason why he went to deceive him is because you used me to harm him first, otherwise, there would be no need for him to take this risk." Peng Xiaoyu stretched out his hand, grabbed Peng Heng's arm and shook it: "Brother, he didn't mention the previous things, so don't mention it." Good no good? ”

Peng Heng wanted to shake off Peng Xiaoyu's hand hard, but when he saw his sister's pitiful appearance, he couldn't bear it. He sighed, squatted beside Peng Xiaoyu, and said in a low voice: "Crazy girl, you figure it out, if you do this, the shaft may be safe for the time being, but your brother and I are very dangerous." ”

"You're inherently dangerous." Peng Xiaoyu grinned and said, "Don't you think that following Sima and his son is originally a point of no return?" ”

Peng Heng's face darkened, and he was speechless for a while.

"Sima Yi's father and son have a heart of disobedience, and the court is wary of them. If they want to succeed, the danger is a hundred times greater than that of the young master guarding Guanzhong. This time, the emperor of their Great Wei asked him to attack Wuguan, he went, in vain, if he didn't go, he would disobey the holy decree, in short, it was a point of no return, and the most haode result was to relieve the military power and go home to retire. What future do you have with him, and can you avenge our family? ”

Peng Heng retorted angrily: "Follow that shaft, can you avenge our family?" ”

"At least there's a better chance than following you now."

Peng Heng glared at Peng Xiaoyu, his fingers trembled for a long time, and Zuihou said angrily: "I won't tell you." You are an idiot woman, just like Daddy, it is too easy to trust others. Sooner or later, you will be betrayed like Daddy. ”

"If he wants to betray me, why wait until later?" Peng Xiaoyu said faintly: "At that time, as long as he pretended not to see that sentence, I would have died in the prison of Chang'an, how could my brother have a chance to zaijian me." ”
