Fei Yi didn't know that Zhuge Liang was sick, and the changes in things suddenly exceeded Wei Ba and his jihua, he didn't dare to slack off, and repeatedly told Wei Yan not to be impatient, not to do impulsive things, and then quickly rushed to Ma Fu and found Ma Yan.

After hearing the news, Ma Tan was also startled, and said for a long time: "No wonder Chang'an wants to try it recently, I thought the prime minister would learn from Wei Ba." It turns out that all the attempts are fake, but the seizure of power is real. The prime minister had good means, and quietly kicked Wei Yan out of Guanzhong. We all thought that Wei Yan came back to target the general, but we didn't expect that this was just a false move. ”

"Is it too late?"

Ma Jian glanced at Fei Yi and couldn't help laughing: "Did you say it was too late?" Judging from Wei Yan's itinerary, the prime minister has arranged it for at least a month, and now that everything is ready, even if we let Wei Yan rush back to Chang'an, it will be useless. ”

Fei Yi sighed and said with a wry smile: "The prime minister is really a good means, this is the real cloud-turning." ”

"It's a pity that he won't last long." Ma Jian also sighed, his eyes sad. "If his body is as strong as Li Yan and he lives for another ten years, maybe none of us will be his opponents. Now, all his efforts are in vain, and he can only do his best. Knowing that he couldn't do it, he insisted on this oath to Zuihou. Seek benevolence and get benevolence, but I don't know if he can die without complaint. ”

Fei Yi smiled bitterly. How could Zhuge Liang die without resentment, his goal of pacifying the Central Plains and reviving the Han dynasty has not been achieved, but the crisis that is enough to overthrow the Han Dynasty has already formed, and he will only die without turning a blind eye. But who can he blame? Complaining about Wei Ba or complaining about Ma Yan. Maybe he's Fei Yi.

The two were relatively close for a long time, and Fei Yi broke the silence: "Young Chang, how to deal with it?" ”

"It's okay, leave this problem to Li Yan first, Guanzhong and Liangzhou are such a big piece of fat, he won't be moved."

Fei Yi's eyebrows frowned slightly: "Just let it go to him?" ”

"Of course." Ma Tan raised his body and smiled gloomily: "It's pointless to fight with him now, when he chokes, or even chokes to death, who should he do." Or who's. ”

Fei Yi understood what Ma Tan meant. But not too sure. Li Yan is not a stupid person, he also has a group of cronies, and it is not impossible to control Guanzhong. If Li Yan succeeds, it will not be good news for Wei Ba.

Ma Jian saw Fei Yi's doubts about him. smiled slightly: "You send the news back to Jiaozhou." Let's see what kind of attitude Ziyu has. ”

Fei Yuan nodded. Even if Ma Jian doesn't say so. He's going to do the same.

After discussing with Fei Yi for a while, Ma Jian immediately rushed to the General's Mansion and relayed the news to Li Yan. Li Yan was stunned when he heard this. His eyes widened, and his eyes shone with surprise and unease.

"The prime minister is really ...... Can't afford to get sick? ”

Ma Jian nodded calmly. Li Yan's question is a bit redundant, Zhuge Liang's health has been bad all these years, and Li Yan doesn't know it. He has eyeliner in Guanzhong, and even if Zhuge Liang keeps the news tightly, sooner or later it will reach his ears.

"Phew-" Li Yan let out a sigh of relief, sat back down, tilted his head slightly, his eyes looked at the roof, but his mind flew elsewhere. Zhuge Liang is dying, and Guanzhong naturally can't be taken over by Jiang Wei. Although Jiang Wei's ability is not as good as Wei Ba and Ma Yan, he is not a weak hand, and more importantly, he is a Longyou person, as long as he is given time, it is entirely possible for him to master Guanzhong and Liangzhou. Eight hundred miles of Qinchuan is the granary, Liangzhou is the most Haode horse breeding place in the world, and over time, the strength may even surpass Wei Ba, which is enough to threaten him.

No matter how good Wei Ba's mechanical jishu is, he can't build a war horse. No matter how fast the warship is, can it compare with the speed of the warhorse, can it go ashore?

Cavalry is still the supreme battlefield of this era, and there is no possibility of change in a short period of time.

From all points of view, the most suitable person to take over Guanzhong is Wei Ba, followed by Ma Jian in front of him, but Li Yan can't let these two people take over Guanzhong, it's easy to wait until Zhuge Liang himself dies, how can he be stupid enough to erect another opponent younger than himself for himself.

Such a haode territory, of course, must be controlled in your own hands.

Li Yan regretted it a little. If he had known the news earlier, he would have asked Li Feng to go to Guanzhong. Now Li Feng is busy in Nanjun, and he has achieved initial results, and it is a pity to give up suddenly. What's more, his ability is limited, in Nanjun, there is Meng Da who can support him, and when he arrives in Guanzhong, he can't cope with the counterattack of Jiang Wei, Wu Yi and others.

Li Yan pondered for a long time: "Young, what can I do?" ”

While Li Yan was pondering, Ma Yan had been sitting quietly, with a faint sadness on his face. Hearing Li Yan's question, he was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "The prime minister is seriously ill, and the dragons in Guanzhong have no leader, which is really not a blessing for the country." Please choose the right person for the general and stabilize the situation in Guanzhong as soon as possible, so as not to be taken advantage of by the Wei State. ”

Li Yan said quietly: "In my child's opinion, who can be competent? ”

Ma Yan raised his head and looked at Li Yan intently: "Far away in the sky, close in front of you." ”

Li Yan's eyes tightened, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily. "If you are interested, you are indeed a good candidate."

Ma Jian shook his head and smiled miserably: "The general has misunderstood. How could I afford such a heavy responsibility. I'm talking about you, General. ”

Li Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes flashed, and he muttered for a moment. Ma Tan's suggestion is indeed good, there are indeed some people around him who are attached to him, but these people, whether they are capable or qualified, I am afraid that they will not be able to control Guanzhong, and it is only possible for him to go to Guanzhong in person. Moreover, such a strong strength can only be relieved in his own hands, and no one can reassure him otherwise.

However, he could not leave Chengdu easily. Zhuge Liang is dying, but it doesn't mean that no one else is competing with him for control of the emperor, Ma Jian in front of him probably has this idea, he and Wei Ba are inside and outside, and there are Zhao Yun's father and son in the palace, if he leaves Chengdu and goes to Guanzhong, Wei Ba will definitely take advantage of the situation.

Ma Tan's suggestion was like a bait, very sweet, but it was likely to contain a deadly hook.

"If the prime minister dies and I lose another good companion, a greater responsibility will fall on my shoulders. Bixia is young, at this moment, how can I leave Bixia and go to Guanzhong? Young, this plan is not appropriate, think about it again. ”

Ma Tan smiled slightly: "The general is well-versed in the past and the present, and he is far-sighted, why is he confused at this moment?" ”

Li Yan looked at Ma Yan puzzled: "Young Chang, if you have any high opinions, you might as well talk about it." ”

Ma Jian was not polite, and said bluntly: "Dare to ask the general, throughout the ages, has there been a person who has taken the world with Bashu?" ”

Li Yan was thoughtful and silent.

"Dare to ask the general, why did Emperor Gao use Han Xin's plan to repair the plank road and secretly cross Chen Cang?"

"Dare to ask the general, why did Emperor Zhaolie take Hanzhong, and why did the prime minister take Guanzhong first?"

"Dare to ask the general, why would the prime minister rather give up Chengdu than sit in Chang'an?"

Ma Tan asked four weishenme in succession, and then without saying a word, he sat back on his heels, slowly picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, closed his eyes, and tasted the tea.

Li Yan Daigo was empowered, like waking up from a dream.

Compared with Guanzhong, Chengdu is a fart? Yizhou Sisai does have geographical advantages, but the geographical advantages here not only block foreign enemies, but also block the pace of external expansion. This may only be the best choice for self-defense in troubled times, but it is not suitable as a base for unifying the world. If you want to compete for the world, Guanzhong is the most haode choice. Those who get the middle of the pass will win the world, and those who get Bashu can only be divided for decades in the end.

This is what history has proven, Qin destroyed Bashu, and Emperor Guangwu destroyed Gongsun Shu, these are the most clear examples. Therefore, if Han Gaozu wants to fight for the world, he must first go out of Chen Cang to take Guanzhong. Emperor Guangwu wants to fight for the world, first the hustle and bustle of Hexi and then the Gongsun Shu of Yizhou, Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, the first strategic goal is to take Guanzhong, in order to occupy Guanzhong, he would rather give up the Prime Minister's Mansion in Chengdu, watching him call for wind and rain in Chengdu but unmoved.

weishenme？ Because mastering Guanzhong is mastering the initiative. It was only because Zhuge Liang wanted to kill Ma Jian and was estranged from Jing Xiang, but he had Wei Ba's help, and he had this strength, so he had a slight upper hand. Still, if Zhuge Liang hadn't been in good health, if he had waited a few more years, God would have known who the winner of Zuihou would be.

Li Yan believed that if it was not Zhuge Liang who was in Guanzhong, but a young man like Wei Ba, or even Wei Yan, who was his age, he would not have a chance of winning.

Ma Jian suggested that he personally sit in Guanzhong, which was a very pertinent suggestion.

Although Li Yan was moved, he still had a trace of hesitation. He couldn't just give up Chengdu and give up control of the emperor. The emperor is where the righteousness lies, and only by controlling the emperor can he control the right to speak. If Guanzhong is where the strength lies, the emperor is where the morality lies, and the role is no less than that of Guanzhong. Zhuge Liang weishenme is retreating? It is also inseparable from his loss of control over the emperor.

In the face of Li Yan's hesitation, Ma Yan once again showed his role as the first think tank of the General's Mansion. He made a proposal to Li Yan that would have the best of both worlds: move the capital.

After hearing this, Li Yan could no longer control his emotions and almost jumped up. Judging from his agility, it is hard to imagine that he is even a few years older than Zhuge Liang.

"Young Chang, this plan is wonderful." Li Yan patted Ma Yan's shoulder, ecstatic, almost out of shape. Moving the capital to Chang'an, in a general sense, is to follow the old skills of the ancestors and complete the unfulfilled wishes of the first emperor, which is justified and the trend of the times. From a small point of view, it is really the best of both worlds to take advantage of the power of the emperor to wrest control of Guanzhong from Jiang Wei, but also not lose control of the emperor.

If it weren't for Ma Yan, who would have been able to give him such a haode suggestion? Li Yan was a little ashamed under the excitement, he really shouldn't have doubted Ma Yan just now. If Ma Tan really had the heart to set him up, how could he make such a suggestion. He could have made him drool while watching Guanzhong, but he didn't know what to do.
