Chapter 075: Counting the Dead Is Not Paying for Their Lives?
Zhuge Qiao's eyes were cold, and then the corners of his mouth were raised, revealing an unfathomable smile. He gently put down his chopsticks, rested them on the dining table, took the hand towel again, and wiped the corners of his mouth.
"Do you think the Prime Minister's Northern Expedition will fail?"
Wei Ba sighed a little unhappily. In the past few months, he has been trying his best to adapt himself to this officialdom, but he has never been able to agree with this way of speaking like a hat. Is it because he's the prime minister that I can't think he's going to fail? Don't I think he's going to fail, he really isn't going to fail?
He really wanted to throw the porridge bowl in front of him on Zhuge Qiao's sinister face, but he just moved his fingers, picked up the chopsticks, paused on the table, picked up a piece of pickles and put it in his mouth, chewed slowly, and said lightly: "If you don't win, you will lose first, this is the common sense of soldiers, Bo Song thinks otherwise?" ”
Zhuge Qiao rolled his eyes, unable to hold back any longer. He shook his head, smiled and pointed at Wei Ba and said, "Eat quickly, eat quickly, I can't talk about you." ”
Wei Ba didn't smile, he looked at the bowl of porridge and a plate of pickles in front of him seriously, and scratched the bowl twice with chopsticks. "Bo Song, are you a prophet of the future, knowing that I will come to you at this time?"
"No, I don't have that ability." Zhuge Qiao was inexplicable.
"What about you...... Do you usually eat these? Wei Ba asked in surprise.
Zhuge Qiao then understood, he wanted to laugh, but somehow, but he didn't laugh, and was silent for a moment and said, "Yes, I usually ...... That's all there is to it. The prime minister said, quiet self-cultivation, thrift to cultivate virtue, he ate like this when he was in Longzhong, and now that he is the prime minister, he should be thrifty and abstain from luxury. ”
"Then it seems that I can't become a person like the prime minister in my life." Wei Ba shook his head resolutely and put down his chopsticks: "It's so easy for me to get my body well, and if I eat like this for half a month, I will definitely be hungry again." He smiled apologetically at Zhuge Qiao: "It's a pity, I can't share the ups and downs with you, I have to go back and get some meat to eat." ”
Zhuge Qiao was speechless, he covered his face with his hands, scratched his eyebrows with his tail fingers, and finally couldn't hold back his laughter. "Ziyu, you are the first one who can say that it is delicious so rationally."
"I'm just not hypocritical, I'm just telling the truth." Wei Ba stood up and patted his clothes: "This is actually the same as fighting, no matter how high-sounding it is, whether Zuihou can win or not, it is still strong or weak by force, otherwise, how can the Qin State unify the world." ”
After Wei Ba finished speaking, he arched his hand, turned around and left, and was about to step out of the hatch, Zhuge Qiao opened his mouth: "Ziyu, stay." ”
"What, you want to treat me to a big dinner?"
"There's no big meal, but there's definitely something you're interested in." Zhuge Qiao beckoned and motioned to the guards to take away the unfinished porridge. Wei Ba stopped, looked at Zhuge Qiao for a long time, and saw that he didn't seem to be joking, so he turned around. Of course, he didn't come just to send armor, but he had something to say to Zhuge Qiao, but if Zhuge Qiao was always playing with him, then he couldn't say more.
Zhuge Qiao cleaned up the case, took out a map from the case and spread it on the case, and motioned for Wei Ba to sit down opposite him, stared at Wei Ba's eyes, and said solemnly: "Ziyu, tell me the truth, what do you know about this operation?" ”
Wei Ba blinked: "I have two answers. ”
"Say."
"The first answer: Captain, I don't know at all."
"The second?"
"Bo Song, I know almost everything."
Zhuge Qiao frowned: "General Zhenbei told you everything?" Or General Zhendong? ”
"It has nothing to do with General Zhenbei, and it has nothing to do with General Zhendong. I won't tell you that before the prime minister gathered to discuss this issue on Yangping Mountain, I and Zhongde discussed this issue, of course, I didn't expect that this time it would be you who led the troops, and I myself was also involved. ”
Zhuge Qiao was suspicious, he carefully looked at Wei Ba's eyes, but he couldn't find a flaw. After a while, he asked in surprise: "You mean, before the prime minister's military discussion, you and Zhongde guessed the prime minister's jihua?" ”
Wei Ba nodded, and said, "I can also tell you one thing, when my father just proposed the prototype of Meridian Valley, I estimated that the prime minister would not agree. ”
Zhuge Qiao's face became very weird, he leaned back, and laughed unnaturally: "It turns out that Ziyu is the prophet of the unknown." ”
"I'm not an unpredictable prophet, I just have a lot of admiration for the prime minister." Wei Ba withdrew his gaze and slowly rubbed his fingers. In fact, as long as you have a certain understanding of the prime minister's nature, you can't guess the intention of the prime minister's move. As I said, fighting a war is sometimes the same as arithmetic, there are rules to follow, and this is not an article that can be whimsical and arbitrary. ”
Zhuge Qiao pressed on the map with one hand, supported his chin with the other, scratched his fingers twice at the wing of his nose, and his eyes flashed. He thought for a while, and then asked, "Then tell me, what is our mission this time?" ”
"Feint an attack on the three eastern counties, attract the attention of Meng Da and Sima Yi of Wancheng, and if possible, plot against Meng Da. Of course, the most fundamental purpose is to create an opportunity for the prime minister to send troops to Longyou. Before that, Jiangdong should launch a feint to attract Luoyang's attention and keep Cao Wei's main force east of Hangu Pass as much as possible, delaying their entry into Guanzhong. ”
Wei Ba finished speaking in one breath and stared at Zhuge Qiao's eyes: "Did I guess right?" ”
Zhuge Qiao narrowed his eyes, the corners of his eyes twitched uncontrollably, and his breathing involuntarily became heavy. At this moment, if it weren't for the success of his cultivation in the past few years, he would almost jump. He believed that these were not told to Wei Ba by Wei Yan or Zhao Yun, but by Wei Ba's own conjecture, because when he heard others, he would not say it in such detail.
Unless Wei Yan wants Wei Ba to be in the limelight, as for Zhao Yun, there is no need to think about it at all. Zhao Yun would not do such a thing.
Zhuge Qiao's heart turned upside down, and he felt a lot of pressure. He knew the real task, and Wei Ba couldn't know too much, he could guess just by guessing, could it be that this person was really a genius?
Everyone wants to be a genius, but no one wants a genius next to them. Walking with geniuses is an absolute tragedy.
"Yes." Zhuge Qiao hesitated for a moment, and then said: "What you said is almost the original words of the prime minister. ”
Wei Ba smiled, a little bitter. In this way, Zhuge Liang is really at the extreme, but there is no surprise at all. He knows this because he knows the result, but Zhao Guang doesn't know the result, he guessed this jihua the same, what does this mean?
Wei Ba suddenly thought of a question. In the romance, Zhuge Liang is a clever calculation, he can often guess the development of things in advance, prepare a bag, and the person who performs the task will take out a bag when the time comes, act according to the plan, and he can win a big victory. But in fact, Zhuge Liang is often counted as a correct person. In the battle of Chencang, he was first calculated by Cao Zhen, then by Zhang He, and then against Sima Yi, and was counted to death by Sima Yi many times, like an unpredictable prophet.
He used to think that this was a bit too nonsensical, it was the Jin people who beautified Sima Yi, or Chen Shou avenged his personal vendetta, but now he felt that this was probably the truth, not because Sima Yi was clever, but because Zhuge Liang was too upright, and he always wanted to minimize the risk, so he would definitely choose the most secure plan. For Shu, because of the gap in strength, the options available to him are really limited, as long as the other party is careful enough, it is not difficult to guess his choice.
Whether it's Cao Zhen or Zhang He, let alone Sima Yi, which one is not a talent? They may not be as good as Zhuge Liang in terms of overall strength, but it is not difficult to guess Zhuge Liang's choice.
The soldiers are not tired of deceit, Zhuge Liang's deception is only in the romance, the real Zhuge Liang is worthy of the title of a military strategist on the battlefield, whether it is marching or training, he is a masterpiece in the world, but he is just a little bit of deception, so a little bit of risky courage.
If he is not in the weak Shu Han, but in the strong Cao Wei, even if he can't become a general who wins all battles, at least he can become an undefeated general, and his strength coupled with his prudence is enough to make him a legend. But he is in Shu Han, who is not strong, and he doesn't dare to use strange, no matter how talented you are, you can't make up for the gap in strength, so you can only die before you get out of the school, which makes the hero cry.
Speaking of which, it's still the same sentence, character determines fate.
Zhuge Qiao saw Wei Ba's face change, he didn't know what he was thinking, he waited for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking: "Ziyu, what do you think of this jihua...... Questions? ”
Wei Bachang took a breath, slowly spit it out again, and said with a forced smile: "There are no big problems, there are small problems." ”
"You say."
"The first problem is that Jiangdong and Hanzhong are thousands of miles apart, and it is difficult to communicate effectively. After Jiangdong sent troops, it is doubtful how long it can hold out and whether it can leave enough space for the prime minister. Since they are the suspicious soldiers who are contained, they will not go all out, it is likely that they are just responding to the story, in this way, does Cao Wei need to mobilize the forbidden army in Luoyang? If the great Sima Cao Xiu of the Yangzhou theater could completely deal with it, then Jiangdong's feint attack would be a waste of chess, and the prime minister would not be able to get the news in time. ”
Zhuge Qiao pinched his chin and groaned.
"The second question is whether the war in the three eastern counties can attract the attention of Sima Yi in Wancheng, and whether it can create opportunities for the prime minister. But, Berson, you have only 5,000 men, how much movement can you make? ”
Zhuge Qiao's eyes rolled, his mouth pursed, and he laughed: "Do you think I'm not Meng Da's opponent?" ”
"No, I'm worried that we and Meng Da together are not Sima Yi's opponents."
"Sima Yi, that scholar?" Zhuge Qiao snorted and dismissed: "He just mixed his qualifications to get to the high position of the general of the Fu army, do you really regard him as a famous general?" ”
As soon as he heard this, Wei Ba suddenly had a black line in his head. Last time, he was defeated as a lobbyist in front of Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, and this time he was a lobbyist in front of Zhuge Duwei, and he was hit again.
I'm really not a lobbyist, it's not easy to be a praying mantis to block cars. It is said that the body of the crossing guest tiger is shaken, and the hero is obedient, weishenme am so aggrieved? ——————
