Prime Minister's Office.

The bookcase in front of Zhuge Liang was full of papers, neat and tidy, like a city.

Zhuge Liang sat in this city.

Zhuge Liang looked at a thick document, the handwriting of that document was somewhat similar to his own, so that the words he gave instructions with cinnabar were difficult to distinguish from those of the sparse, and only when he looked closer, he could see that one was stable and the other was still a little immature.

The document is very thick, but Zhuge Liang is not the first time to read it, he has read it three times, and this is the fourth time. But he still looked at it very carefully, stopped to think about it from time to time, smiled and shook his head from time to time, as if it was the first time he saw it, both admiring and a little disapproving.

Jiang Wan and Yang Yi sat aside, looking at Zhuge Liang's expression, and stopped talking. After Zhuge Liang received this military report from Wei Ba, he called them over to discuss. They had all seen it, and they were very disgusted by Wei Ba's suggestion to ask for money and food from Nanzhong and Yong'an, but judging from Zhuge Liang's attitude, Zhuge Liang seemed to be more than disgusted, he was more appreciative.

Zhuge Liang even said that Wei Ba has now surpassed Zhuge Qiao.

This is a high rating. As Zhuge Liang's closeness, Jiang Wan and Yang Yi both know that Zhuge Qiao is Zhuge Liang's heir, under Zhuge Liang's personal teaching, Zhuge Qiao's progress in all aspects is amazing, if it is not for the accidental death of Dingjun Mountain, he will become Zhuge Liang's right-hand man without accident, and he will also become the pillar of Shu in the future.

To say that Wei Ba surpassed Zhuge Qiao seems to be an exaggeration. There are no outsiders here, is it necessary for Zhuge Liang to say so?

Jiang Wan and Yang Yi didn't quite understand, and Yang Yi was even more dissatisfied. If according to Zhuge Liang's statement. Is there anyone in the younger generation who can compete with Wei Ba? Wouldn't his son Yang Wei become a waste? He endured it for a long time, but he couldn't help but remind: "Prime Minister, even though Wei Ba is talented, but he has no virtue, if he is not restrained, he will become a big disaster in the future." ”

Zhuge Liang didn't raise his head, and said lightly: "Use people to use their strengths." Wei Gong, can't you see that Wei Ba is a little bold, but if it weren't for his boldness. How could it be possible to open up the situation in Wuling. If everything is in order. I'm afraid that it will not be this detailed proposal that will be sent to me, but his head. ”

Yang Yi was speechless, he looked at Zhuge Liang in disbelief, not believing that Zhuge Liang could say such a thing.

"Wei Gong. You have a lot of business. Let's get busy first. ”

Yang Yi reluctantly got up and left. He could see that Zhuge Liang was very dissatisfied with his opinion. Out of the mansion, he sighed secretly. Since the Northern Expedition, his situation in the Prime Minister's Mansion has been a little embarrassing, and the position of Changshi has not yet been hot, but he was snatched away by Ma Tan, who returned from meritorious service, and now Zhuge Liang does not even look for him much for these matters, as if there is a tendency to exclude him from the inner circle.

Yang Yi was thinking about it, Ma Jian hurriedly walked in from outside, and when he saw Yang Yi, he was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Wei Gong, you are also here to see the prime minister?" ”

Yang Yi frowned, and couldn't help but reproach: "Youchang, why did you come?" Prime Minister has been waiting for you for a long time. ”

Ma Yan smiled and patted Yang Yi on the shoulder: "There are too many things, and it has been delayed for a while." Then he walked quickly past Yang Yi and entered the house. Yang Yi turned to look at his back, shook his head puzzled, sighed, and hurried away.

"Prime Minister, Gongyan, I'm sorry, I'm late."

"Young Chang, sit down." Zhuge Liang waved his hand and handed him the paperwork in his hand. Ma Jian took it and laughed first: "So much, this shaft really regards Wuling as his territory." ”

"Now it seems that this possibility cannot be ruled out." Zhuge Liang laughed softly: "He not only fled all the way to Yuanshui, but also defeated the Wu army one after another, and his courage is gratifying." Now that this charter has been drawn up, if he follows his Jihua, it will not be so easy for Sun Quan to regain this mountainous land. ”

Ma Jian looked at the documents at a glance and ten lines, and replied: "In this mountainous land, apart from some barbarians who can be soldiers, what else is there to offer?" All of his charters are based on Yizhou......" He stopped suddenly, his gaze stopped for a moment, slowly swept back again, glanced at it fixedly, and his brows raised slightly: "He wants Liao Li?" ”

Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wan nodded in unison. Zhuge Liang asked, "What do you think?" ”

Ma Jian put down the paperwork in his hand, rolled his eyes, and suddenly smiled: "He has won a few battles, and he is a little unaware of the height of the sky." What kind of person is Liao Li, who can listen to his command? What's more, Guan Feng is also here, I think sooner or later there will be a rift. ”

"What do you mean to agree?"

Ma Tan nodded: "Prime Minister, after Liao Li was demoted, he has always refused to admit his mistakes, it is said that he is still so arrogant when he farms and eats himself in Wenshan." However, some people in Chengdu made a fuss about him, saying that the prime minister was jealous of the virtuous and jealous, and in order to be good at power, he excluded Liao Li. Of course, these gossips are not enough, but there are too many people who say them, which is inevitably unfavorable to the prime minister. Since Wei Ba wanted him to go, why didn't the prime minister push the boat down the river and fulfill Wei Ba's wish? If Liao Li is at odds with Wei Ba again, then it can no longer be said that it is the responsibility of the prime minister. ”

Zhuge Liang nodded silently, put his hands in his sleeves, and slowly rubbed them. After a while, he asked again: "Youchang, do you think it's better to accept it when you see it, or make it bigger?" ”

Ma Yan's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he pondered for a while: "Prime Minister, could it be that Sun Quan asked for peace?" ”

"Not really." Zhuge Liang shook his head and explained: "What I'm worried about is that pinning Sun Quan's army in the Wuling area may cause a conflict with Yizhou on the one hand, and on the other hand, I am also worried that after their pressure on Wei is reduced, it will make Wei Ba fight for Guanzhong wholeheartedly. Guanzhong needs time to recuperate, and I don't want to fight Wei right now. ”

Ma Tan bowed and said, "What the prime minister said is very true. However, at this point, we must not give in first, and we must wait for Sun Quan to admit that he is powerless and realize that it is not wise to confront our Han before we can withdraw this strange army. Otherwise, Sun Quan will think that he has a plan, and he will be even more invincible in the future. ”

Zhuge Liang let out a long sigh and stood up. Paced back and forth in the house for two steps. "It's just that in this way, Guanzhong's defense is insufficient, and Wei Ba has nothing to say when he uses troops, but he is not enough to govern the people. Hanzhong Haoqiang almost controls the affairs of Guanzhong, and I am very worried about this. Youchang, you go to Guanzhong, with you in Guanzhong, I am much more relieved. ”

Ma Tan was stunned for a moment, raised his head, and just met Zhuge Liang's sharp eyes. Ma Tan was taken aback. He lowered his head and clenched his fists and said, "Oh." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, turned around and Jiang Wan: "Gongyan, you often went to Guanzhong." You're going to be tired again. ”

Jiang Wan bowed down to receive the order.

……

Xiahou Hui slowly walked up to the small building. The moment the door was opened. A smile that was neither humble nor arrogant, affectionate but self-respecting appeared on her originally calm face, and bowed down to Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Deng in the house.

"Yuanrong is here. Come in and sit, come in and sit. Mrs. Zhang greeted warmly, and when Xiahou Hui sat down, she asked with a smile: "What, something?" ”

"Can't I come to see my mother if it's okay?" Xiahou Hui pursed his lips and smiled: "Mother, you don't like me coming?" ”

Mrs. Zhang laughed, stretched out her hand to wrap her hand around Xiahou Hui's shoulder, and said to Mrs. Deng: "Sister, you see, this is all Ziyu's scourge. Yuanrong was originally such an honest child, and after following Ziyu, she also became flamboyant. ”

Mrs. Deng also smiled.

Xiahou Hui followed up and laughed a few words, and then said with a straight face: "Mother, the things to welcome the relatives have been completed, just wait for the brother to come back, and you can welcome the girl of the Xi family into the door." On Chinese New Year's Eve this year, there is one more person to keep the New Year. ”

"Well, there's one more person tomorrow." Mrs. Zhang glanced at Xiahou Hui's slightly bulging lower abdomen and smiled happily.

Xiahou Hui stroked his stomach, his eyes were much gentler, and he said playfully: "Mother, tomorrow may not only be one more person, but Mother will be busy by then." “

"I'd like to be busier." Mrs. Zhang smiled: "Besides, there is still your aunt to help." Sister, don't you say, we're not afraid of being busy, right? ”

Mrs. Deng nodded repeatedly.

The three of them laughed for a while, and Xiahou Hui said again: "Mother, I received some new news just now, which is related to Ziyu. ”

"Oh?" Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Deng stopped laughing and looked at Xiahou Hui nervously.

"Ziyu has already set his feet in Wulingzhanzhu, but the loss is not small, and there is a shortage of food, so he asked the Prime Minister's Mansion for help, asking the Prime Minister to allocate some food from Nanzhong or Yong'an, and arrange some people to support. These are all trivial things, and there is one thing that he mentioned very inappropriately, and he asked the prime minister for Liao Li. The prime minister was angry. Ma Tan agreed with this suggestion and was also driven to Guanzhong by the prime minister. ”

Mrs. Zhang frowned and was silent, and after a while, she said lightly: "Ziyu, what is this doing, although Liao Li's crazy student is talented, it is difficult to use it for himself." For him, it's not worth it to have a gap with the prime minister. As for Ma Tan's going to Guanzhong, I don't think it has to do with this matter, I can't say it, this is the prime minister's plan, and he wants to take charge of Guanzhong. Yuanrong, you draft a letter to the general on my behalf, and ask him to deal with it carefully and not to be rash. ”

"Whoa."

"Also, you go to Guan Zhang, Zhao Ma and the others to see if you can buy some grain in the name of a private person, and I will send someone to Wuling. The Prime Minister's Mansion may not be able to count on it. Mrs. Zhang looked at Xiahou Hui seriously: "Yuanrong, don't be stingy, how many soldiers are there in the family, all of them will be sent to Ziyu." In addition, you go to the palace to meet the Queen Mother and the Empress and give them a blow. ”

"Whoa."

Mrs. Zhang was silent for a moment and laughed again. "Although Ziyu did things unexpectedly, so far, he hasn't messed things up. I believe that he is also somewhat sure of how much he wants Liao Li. It would be nice if you could use that madman for your own use. She glanced at Xiahou Hui: "Yuanrong, how is your relationship with Miss Guan?" ”

Xiahou Hui smiled slightly: "Mother, Miss Guan and I are like sisters. ”

"That couldn't be better. If you can marry the Guan family, I don't think the general will object to this family business. Mrs. Zhang took Mrs. Deng's hand and patted it: "Sister, you are more blessed than me, Ziyu is surrounded by two virtuous helpers, the girl and Yuanrong, who are both literate and martial, and they will be terrible in the future." ”

Xiahou Hui hurriedly said: "Mother, even if Ziyu has some achievements, it is also the credit of the Wei family, the credit of Mother's teaching, and of course the blessing of Mother, how can we share each other." ”

Mrs. Zhang smiled with relief: "It's still insightful, and it is worthy of everyone's background." (To be continued......)
