Xiahou Mao was excited, Xiahou Hui was puzzled, but then, they had an unexpected big flip.

This change is only because of Wei Ba's words: "I don't know much about Taoism, but I have some interest and a little bit of experience, that's all." I don't understand anything like that. ”

Hearing this, Xiahou Mao was disappointed, and Xiahou Hui was relieved. Interested? People who have a little money and a little leisure these years, from the emperor to the common people, who is not interested in Taoism, who does not want to live forever? However, interest alone is not enough, there must be a true biography, otherwise you can only stand outside the door and watch the excitement forever. A little bit of a lesson? Taoism is not something that can be understood with a little experience, it is very profound, whether it is a learned Confucian or a Taoist priest who has been in seclusion for many years, if you want to live forever, it is an unattainable thing.

Xiahou Mao himself has a lot of experience, and he still can't stop the white beard that grows secretly, and he can't let himself be weak after a night of spring dinner with a young and enchanting beautiful concubine.

What do you know? Alas, it can only be used as small talk.

Xiahou Hui was not completely relieved of Wei Ba, but he was not so suspicious. Regardless of whether Wei Ba really surrendered or faked surrender, at least he didn't see that he wanted to stay in Chang'an even a little. To deceive, of course, it is more convenient to go to Luoyang in Chang'an.

Xiahou Mao, who was out of interest, waved his hand and asked Wei Ba to take him down to rest. It is said to be resting, but in fact it is house arrest. The location is still in the inn. Seeing Wei Ba go and return, those post guards were very surprised. However, last time Wei Ba followed Jin Dongliu, and this time it was sent by General Anxi, so Wei Ba's treatment has been significantly improved - there is meat to eat.

In front of Xiahou Mao, Wei Ba wanted to attract his attention and make him take the initiative to think of cultivation, and he didn't dare to eat more, although he was already hungry. It can only be tasted superficially. When he arrived at the post house, he looked at the supper served by the post man, and his mouth was full of saliva. But he still shook his head resolutely, looking like a fairy wind bone, but in fact, he watched with saliva as Dunwu gobbled up the supper.

Dunwu walked to the door and sent the post man to death. calmly closed the room, stood at the door for a long time without moving, and did not hear any movement. Only then did he look at Wei Ba, who was swallowing his saliva, and said worriedly: "Young Master, do you really want to cultivate?" Hungry is terrible, which is not good for the body. ”

"I can't help it, if I want to get close to Xiahou Mao, I have to endure it." Wei Ba smiled bitterly: "We lost a move in chess, and our whereabouts were first recognized." was deceived by the person surnamed Tian again, and now there is only one way to approach Xiahou Mao. Xiahou Mao's status is noble, what do we have to attract him? There is only Taoism. ”

"Then did the young master say that he was moved just now?" Dunwu flipped his hand and took out a piece of bread from his sleeve. Wei Ba's eyes suddenly straightened, and he snatched the cake with one hand. One hand patted Dunwu on the shoulder: "Boy, the general is really wise to send you." ”

Dun Wu smiled and looked at Wei Ba without speaking. When Wei Ba was in Hanzhong, in order to take care of his body, Wei Yan was willing to spend the capital, and there was meat at every meal, when did Wei Ba ever be so interested in a cake as he is now.

Wei Ba finished eating the cake in two bites, and his stomach was a little more comfortable, he drank two sips of water, wiped his lips, and then continued the topic just now: "This matter can't be too urgent, it is far better to let him see it by himself than to let him see it himself." ”

Atsumu nodded. He has been a scout for so many years, and he also understands the psychology of people and understands what Wei Ba meant.

……

Xiahou Mao yawned, his mouth was open enough to swallow his fist, he waved his sleeves, and said to Xiahou Hui in frustration: "Yuanrong, it's not early, you can go and rest." I'm sorry to wake you up in the middle of the night. ”

Xiahou Hui smiled lightly: "Uncle, you are too outward. I'm glad to be able to help my uncle, it's nothing to be tired, and my uncle hasn't slept all the time. ”

Xiahou Mao smiled reluctantly, he was too tired now, and he had just experienced the process from joy to disappointment, he was not in a good mood, and he wanted to go to bed early. But Xiahou Hui was full of energy, and she reminded: "Uncle, don't say whether this Wei Ba is proficient in Taoism, as long as he is really Wei Yan's son, his uncle is a meritorious man." It's just that before playing bixia, it's better for my uncle to check it. ”

Xiahou Mao frowned and nodded again and again. This matter must not be mistaken, otherwise it will be a crime of deception.

Xiahou Hui was a little worried. Just now Wei Ba said that he killed Zhuge Liang's son Zhuge Qiao, judging from the time he said, this incident was already a month ago, Xiahou Mao, as the governor of Guanzhong, knew nothing about it, and could only say that he knew too little about the intelligence in Hanzhong. He was not a qualified governor of Guanzhong at all.

If he didn't have the surname Xiahou, Xiahou Hui didn't bother to pay attention to this matter at all. But now, Xiahou Hui can't sit idly by. The surnames of Xiahou and Cao Er were the military foundation of Cao Wei's regime. Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, who have passed away, were once in charge of the military together with Cao Ren, Cao Hong and others, and were the right-hand men of Emperor Wu to fight the country. Now that Cao Ren has died, Cao Hong has been idle because he has not been able to understand the heart of Emperor Wen, but Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu are still in charge of the army. After the death of Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Tang and her father Xiahou Shang, Xiahou basically lost the right to speak in the army, although Xiahou Mao was only the governor of Guanzhong, and was still under the leadership of Cao Zhen, he was the only important general of the Xiahou clan.

If Xiahou Mao loses power, Xiahou's influence in the army will be further weakened. Power is like an heir, you can pass it on for many years, but you must not break it. If it is broken, it means quitting, and once you quit, if you want to step into this circle again, it will be very difficult.

Xiahou Hui originally didn't have much hope for Xiahou Mao, because his ability was obvious. Let him supervise Guanzhong, not because he is capable, but because Emperor Wen is close to him, and after Liu Bei's death, there are no generals in Shuzhong, and Guanzhong is peaceful, which makes him take this responsibility. Now that Zhuge Liang is stationed in Hanzhong, he has the intention of sending troops to Guanzhong, and the imperial court has already intended to remove him. If nothing else, Xiahou Mao's dismissal is just around the corner.

But now, an unexpected opportunity was delivered to him, Xiahou Mao didn't realize it, but Xiahou Hui was sensitive to the opportunity contained in it.

Wei Ba is the son of Wei Yan and a member of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he knows Zhuge Liang's jihua, at least he has heard of it. Knowing Zhuge Liang's jihua, Xiahou Mao can take some precautions in advance. Attacking Hanzhong, Xiahou Mao didn't have that ability, even if it was to defend the Shu army from Hanzhong, Xiahou Hui was not optimistic about Xiahou Mao, but if he knew the other party's deployment in advance, it would be completely different.

Although Xiahou Hui is not familiar with the terrain of Hanzhong, he also knows that it is not easy to tackle key problems in Hanzhong. Otherwise, Han Xin's Ming Xiu plank road and secretly crossing Chen Cang would not be so famous.

Waiting for work, at least a chance to fight. Especially thinking that the opponent Zhuge Liang is also a scholar with little experience in leading troops, this opportunity is invisibly much bigger.

"Uncle, don't you think Wei Ba is a strange thing to live in?" Looking at Xiahou Mao's lazy appearance, Xiahou Hui was really disappointed, if it weren't for the same surname as Xiahou, she really didn't bother to remind him.

"Yes, sending him to Luoyang is a great achievement." Xiahou Mao held his spirit, covered his mouth with his hands, and yawned: "Of course, before that, you have to confirm his identity." ”

"No, uncle, I think he's worth more than that." Xiahou Hui was helpless, so he had to patiently analyze him. Xiahou Mao was originally lacking in interest and wanted to go to bed early, but after listening to Xiahou Hui's words, he realized what kind of opportunity he was facing, and suddenly became energetic.

"That'...... What's next? ”

"First of all, of course, to confirm that he is true or false; Secondly, it is to understand Zhuge Liang's arrangement from his mouth as much as possible. Xiahou Hui crossed his fingers and explained them one by one, Xiahou Mao's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he nodded yes again and again, and decided to arrange someone to do it early tomorrow morning.

Xiahou Hui reminded again: "Uncle, Wei Ba is very scheming, uncle should be more vigilant, so as not to fall for him." ”

Xiahou Mao was in a good mood, and said half-jokingly: "Yuanrong, in my opinion, there is only one person in my house who can compete with Wei Ba. ”

The corners of Xiahou Hui's mouth twitched, and he asked knowingly, "I don't know who my uncle is talking about?" ”

Xiahou Mao hahadaxiao: "Far away in the sky, close in front of you." ”

Xiahou Hui shook his head shyly: "Uncle said that I laughed, I am a woman, how can I face him directly." If my uncle needs it, I can help my uncle with one or two, but the specific matters still have to be handled by my uncle. ”

Xiahou Mao sighed: "It's a pity, there are so many young people in my Xiahou clan, the smartest one is a woman, if you were a man, how good it would be." He thought for a while, and shook his head again: "Actually, my Xiahou clan is not without strange men, but God forbids it, several wizards have died young, leaving us useless people." ”

Xiahou Hui was also sad. As Xiahou Mao said, God is too unfair to the Xiahou family. Not to mention anything else, in the Xiahou Yuan family, there are two geniuses, Xiahou Cheng and Xiahou Rong, who died at a young age. Although the rest of them are not bad, they are dwarfed by these two people. Xiahou called the art of war, once praised by Emperor Wu, with high hopes, but unfortunately died early, just eighteen years old when he died, Xiahou Rong is even more talented, seven years old can write, recite a thousand words a day, never forget, is the same prodigy as the former genius boy Cao Chong, but unfortunately he died earlier, at the age of thirteen died in Dingjun Mountain.

Just as Cao Chong's early death dealt a heavy blow to Emperor Wu, the deaths of these two people were also unbearable losses for the Xiahou clan. Only one of these two people can survive to this day, and the Xiahou clan will not be as depressed as they are now.

Compared with Xiahou Cheng and Xiahou Rong, her father Xiahou Shang also died young, and died of illness before he was confused. What makes people even more unbearable is that his death was just because he fell in love with a concubine, which made the Xiahou clan lose his influence in the army, and it was a great damage to his reputation, so that Emperor Wen had to promote Sima Yi.

Although she is about to become the daughter-in-law of the Sima family, Xiahou Hui is also aware of the danger of losing military power. After all, her body was bleeding from the Xiahou clan.
