It is a pity that although Wei Ba is a little more literate, he does not have any advantage in this regard, and it is a great challenge for him to see the hidden truth from those concise and high-sounding official documents, which is far more difficult than inventing iron or abacus.

Wei Ba sat in the tent for a long time, carefully read the official documents exchanged in the past few months, and wrote a summary of the events in chronological order, but he still failed to see any problems. Since the end of last year, a large number of official documents have been exchanged saying that the prime minister is about to enter Hanzhong, and he wants Hanzhong to guard Wei Yan and increase the intensity of land reclamation to reduce the pressure on the army to transport grain from Chengdu as much as possible. In addition, he was asked to prepare the location of the camp and various materials, including the iron and charcoal needed for the baggage camp, which should be used to build weapons and armor.

Digging through this large list of materials, Wei Ba didn't see much information related to the government. He felt a little dizzy and swollen, his shoulders and back hurt, so he stood up, packed up the official documents, stuffed the list into his arms, stood up, twisted his neck, twisted his buttocks, and did a health exercise, and then he got out of the account easily.

The sun shone on the armor soldier on duty outside the tent, and it was so bright that people couldn't open their eyes. Wei Ba narrowed his eyes, adjusted to the sunlight outside the tent, and found that it was already noon. As soon as I thought of this, my stomach screamed at the right time. He patted his stomach and walked towards his tent.

Walking to the door of the tent, he did not enter his own tent, but went to Fu Xing's tent. As soon as he entered the door, he smelled the aroma of porridge mixed with the smell of medicine, and the sound of drinking porridge. When I looked closely, Peng Xiaoyu, the little maid of the green-faced beast, was carefully feeding Fu Xing porridge, while Wei Wuzheng was squatting beside him with a large wooden bowl like a basin, burying his face in the porridge bowl, eating deliciously.

Wei Ba was a little surprised: "Ah Wu, why didn't you follow Daddy and sneak back so early?" ”

Wei Wu raised his head, there were a few rice grains on the tip of his nose, and before Wei Ba could remind him, he saw that his tongue was curled, and he licked the tip of his nose cleanly, which scared Wei Ba, this kid still has such a ability, ordinary people don't have this trick?

Wei Wu stood up, touched his round belly, and burped: "Uh-I didn't follow Daddy today, I've been practicing knives in the morning, two thousand knives, a lot of knives, those guys all said...... Uh-huh-the firewood is all chopped this month. ”

"Do you practice knives or chop wood?"

"Practicing knives is ...... Uh-chopping wood. Wei Wu habitually wiped his mouth with his sleeve again, and when he saw Wei Ba's eyes, he put down his arm in a daze, took the cloth towel from Peng Xiaoyu's hand and wiped it twice, "Our Wei family's knife method is the knife method of chopping wood, and killing people is like chopping wood." ”

Wei Ba was weak before, he had never practiced martial arts, he didn't know if Wei Wu was right or wrong, and he didn't dare to ask, for fear of revealing his feet. He looked at the cleanly licked wooden bowl in Wei Wu's hand, and asked worriedly, "You eat so much, you won't eat mine, right?" ”

"How can I be? Uh-tama-chan cooked a lot. Wei Wu patted his stomach with satisfaction: "Well, it seems that I have eaten a little too much today, I have to go out and take two steps to eliminate food, brother, will you accompany me?" ”

"You eat, I'm still hungry, I go for a walk with you on an empty stomach, you burp, my bowels sound?" Wei Ba's eyes widened, Wei Wu touched his head embarrassedly, and said with a smile: "Then you eat, I'll go by myself." ”

Wei Wu went out of the account, Wei Ba went to serve porridge by himself, Peng Xiaoyu was just about to come over to wait, he waved his hand and said: "You don't care about me, just take care of Fu Duwei, I have hands and feet, just come by myself." This stinky boy, who has something delicious, threw his brother behind his head, and didn't know how to call me. ”

Fu Xing finished eating, and just picked up Wei Ba's words: "Brother Wei, you have wronged your brother." He waited for a long time, and you never came back, so he ate first. By the way, why didn't you come back until now? ”

"Before, Ma Senjun and Captain Zhuge came, and they talked for a while, delaying some time." Wei Ba held the porridge bowl and paced to Fu Xing's side, Peng Xiaoyu handed over a Hu bed, he sat down, looked at Fu Xing's still a little pale, but very calm face, and said with a smile: "Is it better?" ”

"It's much better, your Wei family's injury medicine is really good." Fu Xing smiled faintly: "It's just that I'm bothering Miss Peng, I'm a little reluctant to go." ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Wei Ba waved the chopsticks in his hand, a big bag of jiashi. "You're hurting to help me, and that's what I'm supposed to do. I've been doing a lot lately, and since Miss Peng is willing to be a servant by my side, she should take care of you. ”

"That being said, I still don't want to go." Fu Xing was a little gloomy, "This time I followed the prime minister to Hanzhong, I originally wanted to make some contributions, but I didn't think that I would ...... just after I arrived in Hanzhong."

Wei Ba was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, you can catch up." After 100 days, you will still be alive and kicking after three months, and you will not delay your meritorious service at all. ”

"For three months, I'm afraid that the prime minister will have arrived in Chang'an."

"How can it be so fast." Wei Ba blurted out, thinking that the prime minister might not be able to reach Chang'an in his life.

"Why is Brother Wei so sure?" Fu Xing looked at Wei Ba in surprise. Wei Ba was stunned for a moment, and then realized that his mouth was about to go. He rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "If you want to get to Chang'an, you have to climb the towering South Mountain first, just to cross the mountains and mountains, it will take a month, and the preparation before this will take at least two or three months, within three months, how can you reach Chang'an?" ”

"Really? That's great. Fu Xing was relieved, and then realized that his emotions were wrong, and quickly explained: "I didn't mean that." ”

Wei Badaxiao: "It's okay, it doesn't matter what it means, anyway, there are no outsiders here." I know that the soldiers are very fast, but that is only suitable for small troops, and it is unlikely that an army of 100,000 people like the prime minister wants to carry out a surprise attack. ”

"That's just as well." Fu Xing echoed: "If my guess is correct, then Cao Wei will soon know about the prime minister's army stationed in Hanzhong." ”

Wei Ba was stunned for a moment, and his laughter stopped abruptly: "So fast? ”

"Of course, although my Han has been in retreat recently, and there has been no military conflict with Cao Wei, both sides are wary of each other. Cao Wei must have spies in Chengdu, and the prime minister recruited troops in Chengdu last year, and there was a lot of movement, how could they not know. ”

Wei Ba thought about it and couldn't help but feel ashamed. That's right, 100,000 troops have entered Hanzhong, how could Cao Wei not know such a big movement. But in this way, Cao Wei is prepared, isn't it that Daddy's raid Jihua is even more unreliable. Not to mention anything else, as long as the defense is strengthened in Chang'an, then Daddy will definitely not be able to take Chang'an even if he is out of Meridian Valley.

Could it be that Prime Minister and Ma Jian don't approve of Daddy's Jihua is the reason.

"Brother Wei, what's wrong with you?"

Wei Ba was taken aback and smiled disguisedly: "It's nothing, I just think that if Cao Wei is prepared, our army can only force the attack, it will not be easy, it will be a vicious battle." ”

"Who's to say it isn't." Fu Xing also sighed.

Wei Ba's heart moved, and he asked tentatively: "Brother Fu, I heard that many of the prime minister's army are recruits who have not fought in a big war, but is there such a thing?" ”

Fu Xing nodded: "This is indeed the case." After the first lord entered Shu, several major battles, the loss of many veterans, especially the Eastern Expedition, the elite lost everything, and the men and horses led by the prime minister, except for some barbarian soldiers, were mostly newly recruited recruits. ”

"Since it's a new recruit, isn't it a bit hasty to attack Wei now? Weishenme doesn't wait for the soldiers to train before acting? ”

Fu Xing licked his lips, his eyes avoided Wei Ba's gaze, looked at the bottom of the blue-black tent, and smiled forcibly for a long time: "How can I, a little captain, know these things." Ling Zun's official position as General Zhenbei, naturally knows the inside story, you Weishenme don't ask him? ”

Wei Ba smiled, didn't ask again, lowered his head and drank porridge. Fu Xing's expression told him that Fu Xing obviously knew something, but he couldn't tell him, this might involve some privacy or struggle above the court, everyone knew it, but he couldn't announce it. This has nothing to do with friendship, this is an unspoken rule in officialdom. Those who can't understand are not qualified to even participate.

Fu Xing was distracted on his back, Wei Ba buried his head in drinking porridge, no one spoke, only the sound of Wei Ba drinking porridge in the big tent, and the sound of Peng Xiaoyu scrubbing the cloth and towel, the atmosphere was a little depressed for a while.

Wei Ba finished drinking the porridge and accompanied Fu Xing to say a few words of gossip that were not nutritious, and then got up to say goodbye. Wei Ba came out of the tent, the warm sun was shining on his body, and he suddenly felt a little sleepy. He stretched out his arms.

Peng Xiaoyu walked out of the tent with a basin of water, poured the dirty water aside, and just saw his slightly frowning eyebrows. She hesitated for a moment, pursed her lips, and plucked up her courage to say: "Young General, I heard that Cheng An, the chief secretary of the Taishou Mansion in Hanzhong, is a member of the Nanzheng clan, although he can't talk about any official eunuchs for generations, but he is also an experienced senior. If the major general has any doubts, weishenme will not consult him? ”

Wei Ba was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but pat his forehead, and said with a smile: "Look at me, I actually forgot about such a teacher." Thanks to your reminder, I'm going to see Mr. Cheng. He took two steps, suddenly remembered something, turned back and asked, "How do you know Mr. Cheng?" ”

Peng Xiaoyu lowered her head and said timidly: "The four surnames in Hanzhong, Zhao Li Cheng Zhang, and the Cheng family rank third. ”

Wei Ba responded, and was just about to leave, when he suddenly felt a little harsh, and turned around to stare at Peng Xiaoyu's eyes. "Hey-I said Miss Peng, you're scolding me for being lonely and unheard."

Peng Xiaoyu panicked, and shook his head again and again: "The young general misunderstood, the young general misunderstood." The maid didn't mean that. ”

"Hmph, I see you have it." Wei Ba made a very vicious look, crossed his waist, shook his shoulders, and sneered: "I said Miss Peng, it's too late for you to regret it now." My Wei family is very strict with the discipline of subordinates, you must not know, I just beat the butt of a big steward in Nanzheng's manor, and he hasn't been able to get up yet. You have to be my handmaid, it's hard to guarantee that it won't be like this, for your safety, I'd better send you home early. ”

Wei Ba said as he glanced at Peng Xiaoyu's thin buttocks. She obviously suffered a lot in the baggage camp for a few years, and she couldn't see the plump that a girl of this age should have, and Wei Ba felt sad for a while, and the evil spirit of half-truths and half-truths was also much lighter. Peng Xiaoyu was so frightened that her face turned pale, she didn't dare to look at Wei Ba anymore, lowered her head, and said, "I'll go see Fu Duwei." Then he turned and went into the account.

Looking at Peng Xiaoyu's flustered back, Wei Ba touched his chin and felt a little bored, what was the point of teasing an ugly girl. He laughed self-deprecatingly, and turned to find Cheng An, but a thought lingered in his mind.

This girl can't have blue spots on her buttocks, right?
