Zhuge Liang was also surprised that the development of things exceeded his expectations and there was a possibility of getting out of control.

Wei Ba closed the door to thank the guests, but Zhuge Liang knew that he hadn't thought about anything, the Wei family manor was next door to his house, and his wife Huang Yueying met with Mrs. Zhang every now and then, and she was basically clear about what happened to the Wei family. Madame Zhang handed over half of the control of the Wei family to Wei Ba, and thus politely declined the invitation to pick mulberry and raise silkworms with Huang Yueying, which actually showed that the Wei family would go their own way and would not be a vassal of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Mrs. Zhang said that this was due to handing over the management to Wei Ba, of course, it was just an excuse, and she didn't want to tear her face.

The Wei family manor and Zhuge manor are close together, and the waterwheels that Wei Ba built in the manor, the machinery that can automatically transmit and clean mulberry leaves, of course, all fall into Huang Yueying's eyes. Huang Yueying herself is also proficient in machinery, so she is not very surprised by these things, but she knows very well that Wei Ba is not only doing this to reduce labor intensity and improve labor efficiency, but the manpower saved is not idle, and the Wei family has resumed the training of martial arts, and the intensity is greater. This shows that the Wei family will unswervingly follow the road of establishing a family by force, not only will not give up military power, but will grasp it more tightly.

Wei Ba gave up his military exploits on the condition that he had the right to sell three hundred Shu brocades independently. Although he gave up his military exploits, he did not want less than the division of the spoils, more than 150 prisoners, including two Wei generals who were captured by him. Wang Shuang is just that, it's just the courage of a horseman, what Jin Dongliu's level is, Zhuge Liang knows it very well. When he was in Hanzhong, he had contact with Jin Dongliu. I was very impressed by this general-born Wei Jiang.

After Wei Ba brought these captives back, he used Xiahou Hui's identity to quickly subdue these people, and gave them the women who died in battle, so that they could live in the Wei family with peace of mind. Zhuge Liang saw Wei Ba's practices, but he didn't think that Wei Ba would be willing to be a housekeeper.

Wei Ba has always refused to take responsibility for the war against Eastern Wu, and he resists with silence, while at the same time pocketing the benefits promised to him.

This made Zhuge Liang both satisfied and unhappy. Satisfied that Wei Ba did not simply and directly make a big fight with him, but methodically saw the moves, which initially showed his calmness and patience. Only such people. In the future, it will be possible to achieve something in the court. Unhappily, Wei Ba's will is very resolute, and there is obviously no possibility of compromise, so that his intentions cannot be realized at all.

Wei Batuo, Feng Jin and others are looking for a family girl who is suitable for Wei Feng. That's a signal. Wei Ba would rather solve Wei Feng's marriage problems by himself. and would not bow down to him. Once the Wei family really married the Yizhou family. The civil and military discord within the Jingxiang system will be exposed in front of everyone. Zhuge Liang believed that those Yizhou families might look down on the Wei family, but they were for their own interests. They will not be reluctant to let a woman go, they will be very willing to pull the Wei family out of the Jingxiang family.

This is absolutely unacceptable to Zhuge Liang.

"Megumi, what do you think I should do?"

Zhang Wen sat on the seat, looking at the letters of invitation from the generals of the Shu army of the Shaozhuang faction, and knew that Zhuge Liang could not bear the pressure. From Zhuge Liang's point of view, even if it was a two-front battle, it was much easier to accept than the internal division of the Jingxiang system. What's more, in the face of the pressure of Dongwu, his chances of winning are not small, as long as he is careful, he can win again. In this case, if he is cowardly, he will inevitably be attacked by political opponents.

Among these documents in front of him, there are Laimin's unceremonious accusations. Lai Min believed that it was a sign of cowardice to deprive Wei Ba of his military exploits under pressure from Sun Quan. Even if Wei Ba had the fact that he had betrayed the alliance, it would be nothing, because before him, Sun Quan had already betrayed the alliance. Before the Prime Minister's Northern Expedition, he had sent people to form an alliance with Sun Quan, and when our army was fighting fiercely in Guanzhong, Sun Quan not only did not help us, but Chen Bingyi Ling, did he still have the alliance that had just been concluded in his eyes? Since Sun Quan betrayed the alliance first, Wei Ba Weishenme can't retaliate? Repaying grievances with straightforwardness is the teaching of the sage, and it is natural for Wei Ba to do so.

Lai Min deserves to be a great Confucian, he selectively gave up the Confucian moral standard of repaying grievances with virtue, and instead used Confucius's direct revenge to exonerate Wei Ba. That's what hits the nail on the head.

Sun Quan is indeed the first to betray the alliance. Before Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, he had sent Deng Zhi to Wuchang to discuss the joint Northern Expedition with Sun Quan. The Shu army captured Guanzhong, and Sun Quan Chen Bingyi Mausoleum out of consideration for his own interests, which was an act of betraying the alliance.

"What is the prime minister going to do?" Zhang Wen raised his head and looked at Zhuge Liang helplessly. Since Zhuge Liang asked him for advice, it means that there is no hope for his success in this mission.

"Wei Ba, I can't be punished." Zhuge Liang said slowly: "His military merits are the first, I must reward him, otherwise people will not be convinced." As for King Wu, of course I don't want to start a war with him, but if he really wants to attack, I can only fight one way, and there is no reason to retreat. Huishu, you should know that this battle is not beneficial to either of us, and the only thing that Zuihou can gain is the Wei State. Can you persuade King Wu to calm down and not do this kind of thing that hurts relatives and enemies are happy? ”

"Does the prime minister think I have such influence?" Zhang Wen's wry smile became even thicker. "The reason why I was able to go to Chengdu again was because Prime Minister Meng valued me and was able to accomplish a mission that others could not complete. Now that the mission can't be accomplished, what use do I have? ”

Zhuge Liang smiled: "Huishu, don't worry, think about it, maybe you can come up with the best of both worlds." ”

Zhang Wen was silent. However, Zhuge Liang's smile infected him, which made the irritability in his heart less a lot. Since Zhuge Liang is so relaxed, then he must have a way, but he refuses to say it, and he has to bring it up from his mouth.

So what will Zhuge Liang do?

Zhang Wen frowned slightly, and suddenly had an idea, and his eyes lit up. "Prime Minister, you mean ......"

"I didn't say it." Zhuge Liang shook his head and pointed at Zhang Wen: "Now I'm listening to you." ”

Zhang Wen smiled, and did not dwell on these details with Zhuge Liang: "Prime Minister, you can reward Wei Ba's military exploits, but you can't agree to his harmony with Cao Wei, then you think this will work, and the Prime Minister will return him a family business." ”

"Oh? What kind of family affairs can be compared with Cao Wei's harmony? ”

"In this world, there are only those who can be compared with Cao Wei, except for your royal family of Shu Han, of course, only our King Wu." Zhang Wen moved closer to Zhuge Liang and said with a low smile: "Our King Wu has three daughters, at present, in addition to the middle daughter who has been married, the eldest daughter Sun Luban is newly widowed, and the young girl Sun Luyu has not yet come out of the cabinet, they are all suitable candidates, and these two lords are born to Mrs. Bu, and their status is extraordinary, much more noble than Xiahou Shang's daughter." ”

"Then can King Wu be willing?"

"As long as the prime minister can get a heavy enough dowry, I think King Wu will be willing to turn the war into a jade silk."

"What kind of dowry is heavy enough?"

Zhang Wen laughed: "Prime Minister, don't go around in circles with me anymore, you should know what can touch the heart of my king, so that he will no longer be entangled in the death of the prince." ”

Zhuge Liang stroked his beard and groaned silently. He knew, but he wasn't reluctant. The jishu of the warship is a sharp weapon to restrain Dongwu now and defeat Dongwu in the future, how could he be handed over to Sun Quan so easily? The plan proposed by Zhang Wen is good, but the asking price is too high, beyond his estimate.

Seeing that Zhuge Liang was silent, Zhang Wen knew that he had hit Zhuge Liang's vital point, and couldn't help laughing: "Prime Minister, you think about it, but it shouldn't take too long." The longer you wait, the deeper the grudge, and I'm afraid it will be more difficult to solve. ”

Zhuge Liang glanced at Zhang Wen and snorted softly.

……

Fei Yi walked quickly into the west courtyard of the Wei Mansion, stood under the corridor, looked at Wei Ba, who was teaching children to read and write, and smiled silently.

Wei Ba put down the whip in his hand, walked out quickly, and arched his hands and smiled: "Fei Jun, what wind blew you here?" ”

"East wind." Fei Yi said with a smile: "How does it feel to be a gentleman?" ”

"It's fine."

"Are there any naughty ones?"

"Yes." Wei Ba smiled: "As long as you get distracted, someone will always give you some problems." ”

"It's not easy to do it, sir." Fei Yi and Wei Ba walked side by side and talked eloquently: "What should you do when you meet a naughty person?" ”

Wei Ba was stunned, and when he heard what Fei Yi said, he smiled: "Move it with affection, and know it with reason." ”

"Yes, that's the way to go." Fei Yi asked again: "What if someone still doesn't listen?" ”

"Then show it with authority and enforce the law?"

Fei Yi turned his head and looked at Wei Ba, who had a sincere face but a little joking in his eyes, hahadaxiao: "Okay, Wei Ziyu, I won't play dumb riddles with you." No one wants to demonstrate to you. I'm here today to give you some news. ”

"What kind of news is it worth Fei Jun's personal trip?"

"Big news, of course." Fei Yi looked around, Wei Ba understood, and led him sideways to the second floor of a small building in the backyard. Fei Yi entered the door and saw at a glance that there was a mottled war knife on Lan Qi placed in the center. His eyes tightened: "This is Guan Hou's saber ten thousand enemies?" ”

"Hmm." Wei Ba replied respectfully: "The elder gave it, I didn't dare to resign, and I didn't dare to use it for my own use, so I had to stay here for future generations to admire." ”

"Posterity?"

"Guan Hou is a general of the bear and tiger, loyal and unparalleled, my Wei family is a martial artist, since my father has taken Guan Hou as an example, of course, our descendants can not be an exception." Wei Ba smiled faintly: "From now on, the younger generation of warriors of the Wei family will be trained in the art of war here before they officially go to the battlefield. I believe that the presence of such loyal sages as Hou will be of great benefit to their future. ”

Fei Yi nodded thoughtfully, but there was a chill in his eyes. However, he quickly covered up this emotion, calmly sat down, and said straight to the point: "Based on your military exploits in Guanzhong and Xiangyang, the prime minister is ready to ask you to be named a servant." ”

Wei Ba frowned, and hurriedly said, "This ...... Too thick, right? (To be continued......)
