Wei Ba turned around and glanced at Lai Min, did not comment, turned back and arched his hand to Zhuge Liang: "Prime Minister, I am here for this matter." Although Ma joined the army and defeated Mumen, he made great contributions to the Northern Expedition. If the merits and demerits are offset, it will not lead to capital crimes. How did this public discussion come about? Who wants to cause Ma to join the army to die and destroy the pillars of my Han Dynasty? ”

Wei Ba sank his face, looked around, his sharp gaze fell on Lai Min's face, and shouted: "Where is the intention? ”

Startled, Lai Min took a step back, nearly tripping over the hem of his clothes. However, he immediately stood firm and shouted: "Ma Tan's army defeated Mumen, causing the prime minister's Jihua to encircle and annihilate Zhang He's failure, and the Northern Expedition of the country, there is only a lonely city in Shangtai, isn't his guilt heavy enough?" ”

"The Northern Expedition of the country, there is only one lonely city in Shangtai?" Wei Baxiao said: "Who said that?" Guanzhong is not the result of the Northern Expedition? Chang'an City is not a city? Eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, was Cao Wei voluntarily abandoned? ”

Lai Min also blushed, and shouted loudly: "Wei joins the army, do you want to boast of your merits?" Yes, our army has won Guanzhong, but what is Guanzhong and Ma Tan? Do you want to use Guanzhong's military exploits to atone for Ma Tan's sins? So what is the use of military law? Can a person who has made meritorious deeds ignore the law? Was the court of the Han Dynasty privately granted by the Jingxiang people? ”

Wei Ba frowned, and when Lai Min finished yelling, he said coldly: "The major affairs of the military aircraft, how can you be a scholar who can understand." Yes, Guanzhong is the result of the hard battles of General Zhendong and General Zhenbei, but Jihua, who came out of the Meridian Valley, was the result of Ma joining the army and strategizing. My father and son's plan, Ma joined the army with careful deployment, and the prime minister's decision-making are interlocking and indispensable. The results of the battle in Guanzhong are the result of the joint efforts of the Han army and the people, so how can it only be counted on the heads of some of them? According to you, isn't the bixia in Chengdu also irrelevant to this war? ”

Wei Ba smiled slightly: "Come to the general." In fact, although you didn't go into battle to kill the enemy, you still have merit. You don't have to be too humble. He looked around. Lang Sheng smiled: "In this Northern Expedition, everyone here has meritorious heroes. Prime Minister, are you right? ”

The corners of Zhuge Liang's mouth twitched, and he nodded lightly: "Everyone." What do you see? ”

There was silence in the big tent, and Lai Min was so angry that he had nothing to say.

Wei Ba's words were sharp. The first is to hold the loophole in Lai Min's words, who said that those who did not participate in the war would have no merit? If you say so, then our great emperor Bixia Liu Chan has nothing to do in Chengdu, and this Northern Expedition has nothing to do with him? This is obviously not true, otherwise it would be disrespectful. It may not matter to a person like Wei Ba, but for Lai Min, who has always been on his lips, this is a big one. A hat that couldn't be heavier.

Second, it detains everyone's psychology. No matter how well the battle is fought or not, everyone hopes to have some merit, and only with merit can there be a reward, and there is a reward. Life is just better. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is over, who doesn't point to a salary increase at the end of the year, who will look forward to losing the battle and going home disgraced? Even if you are willing, you block other people's financial paths, and people are not in a hurry with you?

So as soon as Wei Ba said this, even Lai Min turned off the fire, pinched his nose, and returned to his seat in a gloomy manner.

It seems to be sharp, but it's not like that at all. Zhuge Liang weishenme wants to kill Ma Yan? Do you think he has a grudge against Ma Tan, and you have to kill him to get rid of his hatred? Not really. It's because the main force of the Northern Expedition is ineffective, and if you don't deal with the culprit Ma Tan, you can't explain, and as for the first emperor or something, it's just an excuse. If he really wanted to kill Ma Yan, a hundred Wei Ba couldn't save him. It is said that Wei Ba saved Ma Yan, but it is better to say that Wei Ba gave Zhuge Liang a step down.

What steps does Wei Ba give? Of course, the results of the battle in Guanzhong were counted in the entire Northern Expedition, not only that, but also the first hero to capture Guanzhong was given to Zhuge Liang, his father and son worked hard, but it was just execution, the real decision-making was the wise prime minister, and the person responsible for the overall planning was the extremely smart horse joining the army, our father and son just killed people and did something specific.

Therefore, the prime minister has merit, and the Northern Expedition is not a failure, it can only be said that it is not perfect. Ma joined the army meritoriously, but he failed to kill Zhang He, which is a little regrettable. Even if the merit is not hidden, the sin will not lead to death.

In this way, the prime minister has face, and joining the army has his life, what about Wei Ba? Wei Ba gave up the first credit in Guanzhong, and it seemed that he had lost a lot, but he gained the friendship of Jingxiang people, and wedged a hand between Jingxiang and Zhuge Liang. If possible, there is also the prime minister's gratitude - after all, he let Zhuge Liang break the siege without killing Ma Yan. Regardless of whether the prime minister is grateful or not, at least he knows in his heart that in order to maintain the overall situation, in order to maintain his prime minister's face, Wei Ba has sacrifices, and he takes the overall situation into account.

Besides, even if Wei Ba is modest, Zhuge Liang is embarrassed not to reward Wei Yan and Zhao Yun for their exploits? Zhao Guang jumped a grade and became a general, he was embarrassed to be exempted again? That's not a slap in the face.

Therefore, Wei Ba also took advantage. What he gave up was a false name, and what he gained was real gain.

What if he refuses to give up? It seems that he has kept his military exploits, but Zhuge Liang was forced to kill Ma Yan, and the strength of Jing Xiang's system was damaged, Xiang Lang and others would put their hatred on his head because of this, and the Wei family would be more rejected, and once the Wei family had something to do in the future, no one would help him. Just like Wei Yan died unexpectedly in history, but no one in the Jingxiang family came out to say a fair word.

If you are willing to give up, you have to give up first, and then you can get it. Unfortunately, many people do not see this, they only see the vested interests in their hands, and they are unwilling to make any concessions, so they cannot obtain greater benefits.

Giving up is a kind of wisdom, Wei Ba in the previous life didn't understand it, and now he just has some understanding. And the opposite direction of his learning is Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng.

From the moment he expressed his attitude to Langlai, Wei Ba knew what he had to do. But he didn't perform step by step according to Xiang Lang's arrangement, and he had to fight for greater benefits for himself. The initiative is in your own hands, so why dance according to Xiang Lang's steps? Waiting for Xiang Lang and others to lose in the public discussion, and waiting for Zhuge Liang to be forced to issue an order to execute Ma Tan, let Ma Tan go through the life and death pass, knowing that he himself is just a chess piece, tearing a crack between him and Zhuge Liang, even if it is an invisible fine mark, which will be of great benefit to him in the future.

If you want to compete with Zhuge Liang for power, you must first pry his corner. What's in his corner? Of course, it's Jingxiang.

Wei Ba gave up the first credit in Guanzhong, and the rest of the matter went smoothly. Zhuge Liang quickly assigned the task, gave Zhao Guang an additional 2,000 troops, and added Ma Dai as the general of Pingbei. led 1,000 cavalry to help Zhao Guang defend Longguan. In this way, Longguan had a total of 6,000 defenders. Bai Xiang Lang was the general of Dangkou, leading 5,000 soldiers. Jiabai Wang Ping joined the army for the Prime Minister's Mansion, led 2,000 soldiers, and guarded Shangqi together. The rest of the men and horses withdrew from Guanzhong and returned to Hanzhong through the sloping valley.

The military situation is urgent. Give the order and set off immediately.

Wei Ba led more than 2,000 cavalry, unable to pass through the Duangu waterway smoothly. So he could only go with Zhao Guang and make a detour to Longguan. Although Zhao Guang jumped one level because of his military exploits, he was directly promoted from the commander to the general of Zhichong, and led 5,000 troops to guard Longguan, which can be regarded as a heavy general, but Zhuge Liang arranged Ma Dai for him to be his deputy. It made him a little uncomfortable.

Ma Dai is a native of Guanzhong, he led a thousand Ma family army, after the exchange of war horses, and experienced this war, the strength of the Ma family army has increased. And after being stimulated by Zhang He's uncertain tactics. The importance of Shu Han to cavalry has been further improved, and the role of Ma Dai has also increased. Arranging such a person to be Zhao Guang's deputy seems to be an important consideration for Zhao Guang, but it is actually a threat.

With Ma Dai's qualifications, Zhao Guang can easily accuse him? To deal with Cao Wei's army, Zhao Guang, who commanded the infantry, could only defend, and the main force of the battle was Ma Dai, and the speed of Ma Dai's promotion in the future would far exceed that of Zhao Guang, and the possibility of Zhao Guang being replaced was very high.

Zhao Guang was very unhappy, and took the opportunity to walk with Wei Ba to calmly express his worries.

Wei Ba also smelled some unusual flavors from Zhuge Liang's arrangement. In addition to the arrangements for the defense of Longguan, Xiang Lang's appointment was also unusual. Xiang Lang was appointed as the general of Dangkou because of his military exploits under the city of Shangtai, leading 5,000 troops to guard Shangqi, but he was equipped with a Wang Ping as a deputy general. Xiang Lang led the troops outside, and his prime minister's long history was naturally gone, and now Yang Yi took over as prime minister's long history. However, Wang Ping received the identity of the prime minister to join the army, and when the two were compared, they knew that it was not as simple as who led whom.

The battle of Longyou has come to an end, but everyone knows that the next battle will be more intense, and the burden on the shoulders of Xiang Lang and Zhao Guang will be heavy. The lieutenant generals assigned to them are such two people, and anyone will feel a little uneasy.

Is this a lieutenant, or a ready substitute?

"Senior brother, you're thinking too much, as long as I'm still in Guanzhong, no one can touch you." Wei Ba comforted: "It's also a good thing to have the help of the Ma family's army, at least you also have cavalry." ”

"Cavalry, you have to be able to listen to me." Zhao Guang smacked his lips and glanced at Wei Ba: "Besides, can you guarantee that you have been in Guanzhong?" You are in the Prime Minister's Mansion to join the army, who knows what the Prime Minister will do, and you will leave Guanzhong. ”

"I can leave Guanzhong, but my father must still be there." Wei Ba patted Zhao Guang's shoulder and said softly: "Don't worry, no accident, my father's Zhenbei general is decided, and the governor of Guanzhong may be added." With him, who dares to touch you? You know my father's calf's temper. ”

Zhao Guang grinned, and it could only be like this. The initiative in this matter is still in Zhuge Liang's hands, and Wei Ba has nothing to do. Fortunately, Zhuge Liang will leave Guanzhong soon, and it is Wei Yan who has the final say in Guanzhong.

"Ziyu, you have to be careful of those Jingxiang people." Zhao Guang changed the topic: "You want their support, that's understandable, but you can't be too anxious, you have to come step by step." Just like practicing martial arts, although the longer and heavier the spear, the more powerful it is, it also depends on whether you have that strength. With that strength, you can turn the spear into your arm, you are carrying the spear, and without that strength, it is the spear that is transporting you. ”

Wei Ba raised his eyelids: "Did the senior brother teach me two tricks, how can I be more able to carry the spear instead of being transported by the spear?" ”

Zhao Guang smiled slightly: "If you want to learn a spear, it's not easy?" I'm just afraid you don't have time to practice. ”

Wei Ba sighed and had to admit that Zhao Guang was telling the truth. He is not an idler who has nothing to do now, and it is impossible to practice spears as wholeheartedly as he did when he practiced boxing. Time does not allow, or how can people practice martial arts, how to pay attention to children's skills, when they are old, not only have their muscles and bones already formed, but more importantly, they have no time, unless those martial arts idiots who are not doing their jobs and are dedicated to martial arts, how can normal people have so much time to practice martial arts.
