Chapter 872 - I Can't Ask for It

Li Yan had already written a letter to Li Feng, detailing the purpose of transferring him from Nanjun Taishou to Guanzhong, and in the face of Wei Ba's question, Li Feng still had to ask with a smile: "I also want to ask Ziyu for advice." ”

Wei Ba raised his eyebrows: "Do you know where Jiang Wei went?" ”

"Isn't it relegated to Dunhuang too guarded?"

Wei Ba chuckled: "Dunhuang Taishou is not fake, but it is doubtful to depreciate." ”

Li Feng's eyes rolled twice, and he lowered his voice and said, "Prime Minister, this is ......"

"Hehe, the young general is really thorough." Wei Ba patted the back of Li Feng's hand and said meaningfully: "Actually, if I don't order, the young general can also understand, I'm just a class with an axe." Major General, I still have some old troops in Guanzhong, and I will rely on you and the general to take care of me in the future. ”

The corners of Li Feng's mouth twitched and he laughed. He was trying to get the support of those people through Wei Ba, and now Wei Ba wanted to entrust those people to him, which was called a good heart. He nodded again and again: "Ziyu, don't worry, I won't treat them badly." ”

"With the words of the major general, I am relieved." Wei Ba hahadaxiao, separated from Li Feng, walked towards Feng Jin and the others who came to greet him.

Feng Jin was very excited, the imperial court not only made the expedition Jihua through them and Wei Ba together, but also let Wei Ba serve as the main general of this war, after many twists and turns, they were finally able to fight side by side with Wei Ba, and they were very happy in their hearts. It's just that because of Li Feng's face, they can't show it too clearly. Several people surrounded Wei Ba and asked long and short questions, and the atmosphere was harmonious and harmonious.

"Wenju. A few of you should prepare, pick some soldiers who are willing to go far away, and rush to Guangling within three months to prepare for naval battle training. ”

"Whoa." Feng Jin agreed loudly: "How many people?" ”

"If there is less, there will be no less, and two thousand people will be needed, and if possible, it is better to make up three thousand."

Wei Ba scratched his eyebrows, a little worried. One of the most troublesome things about fighting a war is homesickness, and unlike those generals who are eager to make meritorious contributions, ordinary soldiers are reluctant to go on expeditions. As is customary. They rotate on a semi-annual basis. If you can go home for a month at a time, even if it's a little farther away, you can concentrate the year's vacation and subtract the time spent on the road. They were also able to stay at home for more than a month. But the expedition will not work. It's a long way to go. Two months of vacation is not enough to spend on the road, and if you die in battle, you will never be able to return home.

This expedition to Liaodong. If you don't have it, you have to do a year of jihua, plus the preparation for the preliminary training, it is likely to take two to three years, and you can't go home in two or three years, which will discourage many people.

This time, he made a lot of effort to finally pull Daddy out of Guanzhong, but Daddy poured a basin of cold water on him. Of course, the 1,000 soldiers who stayed in the pass had nothing to say, wherever he went, the soldiers followed, but the 10,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry was a chicken rib. The reason is very simple, those knights can't stand to live away from their homeland for a long time, and even if they come, they don't have any desire to fight, and if they are pressed, something may happen.

After Wei Ba heard this, he had to find another way, let his father go to Guanzhong in person, and persuade as many people as possible to move to Jingzhou, bring their families with them, and settle in Jingzhou in the future. For the rest of the people, he was going to symbolically hand over a part to Li Yan, and the rest of the elite would be allocated to Zhao Guang to make a part.

The knights of Xiliang are like this, and the soldiers of the Jingxiang Water Division are also like this, they are willing to endure the pain of parting for a few years, and the number of people who go on an expedition to Liaodong is limited after all. However, he had to bring a certain number of these people, otherwise the newly formed sailor would not be his sailor, but the sailor of the Wu Kingdom. In his jihua, the army of the naval division should reach at least 30,000 people, and 3,000 people are the basic requirements for serving as the backbone and ensuring combat effectiveness.

Feng Jin nodded, he understood this truth.

After the lively reception banquet, Wei Ba brought Wei Feng to the big tent. The brothers sat opposite each other, and Wei Ba glanced at Wei Feng: "Okay, don't be nervous, there are no outsiders here, just say anything you want." ”

Wei Feng smiled awkwardly and rubbed his hands: "This time...... Take me there? ”

"Of course I want to go." Wei Ba smiled: "I asked you to come from Meng Da's tent, but it cost a lot of money, how can I let you be idle." ”

"That's fine, you arrange more things for me to do." Wei Feng's chest clapped: "I have nothing to say." ”

"There's an important task for you right now." Wei Ba stared at Wei Feng and said word by word: "You have to help me watch my father, and I can't let him make any mistakes." As a last resort, he was not allowed to fight in person. ”

Wei Feng was puzzled.

"Dad fought all his life, but he was surpassed by his son, no matter how generous a person is, there is always a little bad taste in his heart, right?" Wei Ba fiddled with the teacup and said slowly: "There is still a long time to go on the expedition to Liaodong, and I don't know if Zuihou can make the trip, so I can't let my dad be idle like this." Therefore, our army will unite with the Wu army and launch an offensive against Yu Yan first, and my father will definitely lead the elite cavalry, and he will definitely participate in the war. I'm afraid that he will be greedy and rash, and there will be mistakes, so I plan to arrange for you to be by my father's side and take care of some. ”

Wei Feng suddenly realized, touched his nose and laughed dryly. Not to mention Daddy Wei Yan, even he felt a little uncomfortable. It's a lot of pressure to have such a capable younger brother, let alone a proud person like my father. Wei Ba arranged for him to protect his father, probably knowing that he was careful.

"It is impossible for my father to bring all of his 10,000 elite horsemen, but I agreed with the general that within three years, I will be supplied with 10,000 war horses every year to ensure the combat effectiveness of the cavalry. Those people under your command, who can be changed into cavalry, are all changed to cavalry, and try to gather 10,000 people, when Daddy disarms and returns to the field, this cavalry will be yours. ”

Wei Feng's eyes widened and he was ecstatic. 10,000 fine rides? That's even better than mastering 20,000 or 30,000 foot soldiers. Where can a general be able to afford this, there are only a few cavalry under Meng Da, only three thousand.

"In addition, the general of the guard army, Chen Zhi, will also participate in this battle, he is a veteran with the same name as General Zhao, he used to be the first master to take charge of the horse, I don't need to say the ability to ride the battle, you also know how good it is. You have to be closer to him, don't learn from your father, you can't pull down the son. ”

"Okay, Ziyu, don't worry, I will definitely learn cavalry from General Chen." Wei Feng was overjoyed. No matter how stupid he is, he can know that this is a benefit arranged for him by Wei Ba. Being able to learn how to ride from Chen Zhi is an opportunity that many people dream of.

"Fight tiger brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers." Wei Ba laughed: "Brother, do a good job, my mother is looking forward to your meritorious service and glorifying your ancestors." ”

Wei Feng laughed embarrassedly.

……

Da Honglu Fei Yi slowly walked into Wuchang Palace, looking at Sun Quan sitting on the throne, he smiled and bowed.

Sun Quan sighed, beckoned, and motioned for Fei Yi to take a seat. "Wen Wei, Lone has long felt that you are not a mediocre person, and sure enough, step into the ranks of Jiuqing, and you will be on the rise."

Fei Yi smiled slightly. "The king praises falsely, and he is ashamed, this is also the king's adaptation to the situation, so that Yi can complete the task and get this small achievement."

"Wen Wei, what do you say, how can you embarrass your loneliness?" Sun Quan sighed helplessly: "Convincing Wu to be a minister is just a small achievement?" ”

Fei Yi shook his head: "Of course, it is a big deal for Wu Guo to be a minister, but my credit is not enough. This thing can be done, first, the king is wise, and second, the general is good at fighting, I can't wait to thread the needle and lead it, and it is not worth mentioning. ”

Sun Quan blinked his blue eyes, helpless. Fei Yi's words are a little ugly, but they are also true. He proclaimed himself a vassal to the Shu Han court, but it was not Fei Yi who could say it, but Wei Ba who could fight. Although he understands it now, time has passed, and he can't regret it if he wants to.

"What is the matter with coming to Wuchang this time?"

"According to the edict of Bixia and the order of the prime minister, I came to discuss with the king about sending troops to Yanzhou together." Fei Yi took out the edict of the Son of Heaven and handed it to Sun Quan with both hands. Sun Quan took it and looked at it slowly. Before that, he had already heard the general news that when Wei Ba was preparing for the war in Liaodong, they could not be idle, and they would send troops together to attack Yanzhou, so that Cao Wei would not have a quiet time. But. Now that he has nothing to do with Yanzhou, it has become a delusion to share the world, he is just a spectator.

Therefore, he was not zealous, on the contrary, somewhat resistant. This is obviously a trick by the Shu Han court to drain the strength of the Wu State, and what enthusiasm does he have at all. While looking at the edict, he asked, "How is the prime minister's health?" ”

"Recently, I have been taking a break and practicing cloud hands, and I have made a lot of progress."

Fei Yi roughly talked about Zhuge Liang's recent situation. Sun Quan's thick eyebrows furrowed slightly, Zhuge Liang really planned to coexist peacefully with Li Yan and Wei Ba? That's not a good thing. With Zhuge Liang in the middle of the dispatch, Wei Ba and Li Yan are outside, who else can stop them from unifying the world. If the world is unified, can he still take Jiangdong, I'm afraid Zhuge Liang will have to clean him up when he turns around.

"It's not easy for the prime minister to change his course at his age." Sun Quanqiang smiled, and was about to say something more, when suddenly his eyes widened: "What, do you want to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion without Gu Tan?" ”

Fei Yi looked at him with a smile: "What does the king think?" ”

"Gu Tan is a courtier of my Wu Kingdom, and he is a mentor and friend arranged by Gu for the prince, how can he re-enter the Prime Minister's Mansion as an official?"

"Gu Tan is indeed talented, but compared with Cheng, there are still some shortcomings." Fei Yi stroked his beard and said unhurriedly: "The reason why Gu Tan entered the Prime Minister's Mansion is because the Prime Minister loves talents, and I hope to do my best to create a few more talents for the country." Not only Gu Tan, if it weren't for the identity of his uncle and nephew, Zhuge Ke would also enter the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”

Sun Quan heard the voiceover, and he looked at Fei Yi with his eyes flickering.

Fei Yi said with a smile: "In addition, the prime minister intends to let the prince be Bixia's companion and study together, I don't know what the king ......wants."

Sun Quan was pleasantly surprised: "Is it the prime minister who teaches in person?" ”

"Of course." Fei Yi said with a smile: "Now most of the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion are handed over to Deputy Prime Minister Liao Li, and the Prime Minister doesn't care much. Most of his energy is now spent teaching Bixia. ”

"It is a blessing for a dog to be taught by the prime minister." Sun Quan stroked his palm and smiled: "It's also a blessing for loneliness." I can't ask for it, I can't ask for it. ”…… (To be continued......)
