Chapter 374: Zhuge Liang's Worries
"What does Boyo think should we do after our army captures Longyou?" Zhuge Liang sat on the war elephant of the "King of Kunming" King Pu who was stabbing the earth to pay tribute, and asked condescendingly.
For Zhuge Liang's unexpected favor, Jiang Wei was very flattered.
Although the Tianshui Jiang family has been an official for three generations, the officials are not big, and they are far from being famous.
And since his father died to save the old lady, although the government has compensated, the Jiang family, which lacks the backbone, has inevitably begun to become difficult.
In these years, if you are a grassroots official, if you are not greedy, the salary is really not enough to maintain the daily life of the family, and you can't save much surplus wealth.
It is precisely for this reason that Liu Chan implemented the salary reform, cutting the salaries of senior officials such as the three public officials, subsidizing the grassroots and narrowing the gap.
But Cao Wei did not have this kind of policy, and Jiang Wei did not live a prosperous life since his father's death.
Although he is gifted and has a good talent, Yunwen and Yunwu, he has been repeatedly blinded by his family since he was a child, and this embarrassment did not gradually improve until he also became a petty official in Tianshui.
But although he became an official, he just changed circles and continued to be ostracized by the white eye......
And since joining Liu Han, not only does the prince trust him for some reason, His Majesty gently encourages him, and Prime Minister Zhuge also seems to attach great importance to him, constantly pulling him to talk along the way, which is quite meaningful.
Exam school, that is to use your premise, how can Jiang Wei not understand this truth.
"Hmm......" Jiang Wei pondered for a moment, "Now the morale of our army is flourishing, since Your Majesty's troops went out of Hanzhong, the three armies of Dingjingzhou, Ping, and Annanzhong can be described as successive victories." Now the counties of Longyou are looking down on the wind, and Cao Pi is leading the army, just forging ahead!
"You can take Longxi County first to guard against the Liangzhou border army that may attack. Then concentrate the troops, go straight to Guanzhong, echo with the soldiers and horses of General Zhang San and General Zilong, and decide Qinchuan in a battle! ”
As he spoke, the young and enthusiastic Jiang Wei had forgotten about the so-called school entrance examination, and the more he talked, the more excited he became.
"If you take Qindi, not only will you add a big granary, it will be easier to transport grain from Guanzhong to Longyou, and the students and strong men of Qindi can also be used by me. At that time, Liangzhou will be recovered, the Central Plains will be entered, and the Han Dynasty will be restored ......"
"Ahem!" Zhuge Liang coughed, and even the smart war elephant who sat down raised his nose and roared.
Jiang Wei woke up like a dream, stopped his scolding, and blushed and looked a little embarrassed.
Zhuge Liang didn't care, but felt a little kind, and the prince Liu Chan often looked like this when he pulled him to talk about the world.
Perhaps it is because of this that the prince feels that he will attach so much importance to this person.
"Can you know that there are still soldiers and horses in Guanzhong and Cao Wei in the Central Plains? Even if our army invades Guanzhong, if Cao's army sticks to Chencang, Yixian, Chang'an and other cities, and then attacks and harasses with elite cavalry......
"In the Guanzhong Plain, how should our army deal with it?"
"This ......" Jiang Wei is just like every hot-blooded young man, imagining a beautiful blueprint, where have he thought about these details.
"If the war in Guanzhong is protracted, our army's grain and grass need to be transferred from Yizhou, the road is far away, and the consumption is very large, and the government stocks grain, how many days can it be used for the army?"
Jiang Wei: "......"
"At this time, it has already entered the summer, and it is the busy season to stay in the autumn, if the army is outside, the people are not enough labor, and the autumn harvest plan is affected, how to deal with it?"
"Prime Minister!" Jiang Wei, who was hit by continuous critical attacks, couldn't help but interrupt loudly, hugged his fists and said, "Prime Minister, it's the last general who is not thoughtful." ”
Zhuge Liang smiled at this time: "It is natural to be enterprising when you are young. However, before acting, we should carefully consider it to make up for the shortcomings. ”
"Yes, the last general has been taught."
"For example, you led the troops out of the city and chased and killed Guo Huai, although you have made great contributions to our army...... Zhuge Liang's expression gradually became serious, "But if Guo Huai's eyeliner has not been removed by our army, I know that you are just a lone army, and you will fight reflexively...... Isn't it dangerous? ”
Jiang Wei, who had gone through a series of blows, had begun to face himself at this time.
Listening to Zhuge Liang say this, I also felt that I was indeed reckless, and I have to say that there is also a lot of luck in being able to win.
"Jiang Wei almost lost the important land in Ji County, and he is willing to be punished."
Zhuge Liang waved his hand and said: "No matter what the process is, merit is merit, and passing is passing, meritorious service should be rewarded, how can there be a reason to punish meritorious generals?" Ji County is lost, and our army will take it back, and Guo Huai will not be able to hold it even if he can take it.
"It's just that Boyo is talented, intelligent, and martial, and if he can exercise modestly, his future will be limitless. Wouldn't it be a pity if he lost his life in vain? ”
Jiang Wei looked at Zhuge Liang's gentle and concerned eyes, and completely fell.
Under the turn of the three "Han succubi", he suddenly felt that the most correct choice in this life was to surrender to the prince and join the command of the Han.
"The last general Jiang Wei, how can he be so loved by His Majesty, the Prince, and the Prime Minister...... Jiang Wei had tears in his eyes, and he clenched his fists and bowed his head on the horse, "In order to support the Han family, to repay Your Majesty and the Prince, and taste the long-cherished wish of the Prime Minister, Wei, what a pity!" ”
Zhuge Liang nodded with a smile: "Okay, good, if Boyo can be humble and self-denying, and study hard, he will definitely become the help of His Majesty's crown prince." In the future, if you have any questions, you can ask me without scruples. ”
Jiang Wei is overjoyed, Prime Minister Zhuge has the meaning of teaching!
When the world Wolong personally dialed it, this was an adventure that he couldn't have imagined in the past.
"Thank you, Prime Minister!"
If Jiang Wei was commented on his shortcomings in this battle from the beginning, the young man would definitely find it difficult to accept, and maybe he would be mistaken for the disadvantage given by Zhuge Liang.
Let Jiang Wei understand the difficulties on the road of the Northern Expedition first, and then affirm his enterprising spirit and achievements, and finally turn the topic back to accept it.
Now it seems that the effect is good, and it has not hit the self-confidence of young people, but also has the effect of exhortation.
And Zhuge Liang will be so attentive to Jiang Wei, who met for the first time, naturally because of the crown prince Liu Chan.
The prince has always been very accurate in his vision of people, so he said that Ding Feng, since he entered the command, has repeatedly made military exploits, and Yu Fu, who was sent to the three counties, will also govern the local area in an orderly manner, although it is not Wang Zuo's posture, but also worthy of being a talent in the state and county.
Now, although Jiang Wei is not very old and his reputation is not obvious, he can know that he has real talent and real learning after a few rough words.
This is particularly rare in a place like Tianshui, watching its marching and fighting, it is also quite disciplined, as long as it is polished a little, it will be the minister of the humerus in the future.
And......
Zhuge Liang looked in the northeast direction, his expression was slightly worried, and he suddenly lost the interest in speaking.
Fang Cai's words of exhortation to Jiang Wei were not not his inner worries about the crown prince Liu Chan.
Since the prince led the army, he has hardly tasted a defeat, and only suffered some small losses in the three counties, but finally won.
It is a good thing that young people are ambitious, and he also knows that Liu Chan is quite old and not like an ordinary teenager.
But he watched Liu Chan grow up since he was a child, and he paid countless efforts, and his feelings for Liu Chan were naturally extraordinary.
Now it seems that there is only one step away from completing the first and most critical step of the Northern Expedition - Breaking Long.
In this case...... Can the prince still stay calm?
"Now that the rear has been decided, there is no need to delay Zhang He anymore. Just hold on for a while...... The minister has personally commanded the army to help, prince, don't be impatient."
