Seeing Yang Wei, who had some undisguised resentment and some unspeakable fear behind Ma Yan, Wei Ba was just stunned for a moment, and naturally ignored him. For him, Yang Wei has never been an enemy, he is not qualified enough. As long as Yang Wei doesn't take the initiative to provoke him, he can completely treat him as if he doesn't exist.

"Ma joins the army, why did you get to Anyang?" Wei Ba asked in surprise.

"Boy, don't ask knowingly." Ma Yan smiled slightly, turned around and waved his hand at Yang Wei: "You go to find Bo Song and tell him that I am here." ”

Yang Wei answered, lowered his head and turned to leave. Wei Ba calmly let Ma Jian enter the door and took the initiative to lead sideways in front. Although he joined the army like Ma Tan, he was not arrogant enough to think that he could stand side by side with Ma Tan.

Ma Jian took a step forward, walked side by side with him, and chuckled softly: "Seeing that nasty boy, there is nothing you want to say?" ”

Wei Ba shook his head: "No." He paused, and then added, "I have never regarded him as an enemy." ”

"Well, at your age, it's really rare to have such a bearing." Ma Tan praised: "After returning to the camp, he was ordered by Yang to think about it behind closed doors, and he already knew that he was wrong. The prime minister asked him to assist in Bo Song's paperwork. Boy, you also need to read more books, your urgent report is very interesting, but the words are too dry, and it tastes like chewing wax. The Master said, Words without words, deeds are not far. It is not advisable to find chapters and sentences, but it is not a good article to be too rude. ”

Wei Ba nodded and agreed: "Thank you Ma for joining the army, I will definitely work hard to study more when I have time in the future." ”

"Hey, hey, it sounds like you're busy. If you're so busy, how can you still have time to make games? ”

Wei Ba also smiled and didn't answer, but his heart sank. As soon as Ma Jian met, he first defined his report: game, which shows that Ma Jian - and Zhuge Liang behind him did not intend to adopt his suggestion at all, and Ma Jian came this time, not to discuss Meridian Valley Jihua with him as he hoped.

"What about Zhong De, Zhong Jian, and Zi Lie?" As soon as Ma Tan took his seat, he looked around.

"Zhong Jian went to Xicheng, and Zhong De and Zilie were busy in the baggage camp. Two days ago, a batch of military rations had just been delivered, and they were reinforcing the camp so as not to be taken advantage of by the enemy. ”

"Oh, that's a good thing. Soldiers, murder weapons also, a little cautious is always haode. ”

Wei Ba let people serve wine and food, and Ma Jian drank wine and gossip, but he refused to get to the point. Wei Ba understood, and immediately arranged for someone to invite Zhao Guang and Elk Wei. After a short time, Zhao Guang and Elwei walked in quickly, and when they saw Ma Jian in the seat, they all glanced at Wei Ba. Wei Ba said with a smile: "Ma joined the army here, it is a good opportunity for us to learn." I don't dare to enjoy the benefits alone, so I have invited you to listen to the teachings of Ma in the army. ”

Zhao Guang and Elk Wei knew it in their hearts, and hurriedly smiled and said, "I can't ask for it, I can't ask for it." ”

Ma Jian put down his wine glass, smiled, and waved his hand to signal Zhao and the two to take a seat. "I can't talk about teachings, General Zhao Lao is a famous general in our army, and General Zhenbei is also the mainstay, although the Elk family does not have much experience in leading troops, but General An Han has followed the emperor for many years, and his experience is also very rich. You have such a father, why do you need me to talk nonsense. I've just heard that you've invented a new game, and I'm here to talk to you. ”

Wei Ba smiled, and sure enough, as he expected, the purpose of Ma Yan's arrival was for tactical deduction. However, he didn't want to discuss the real tactics with him, but wanted to eliminate the influence through this deduction game, and the reason why he wanted to call Zhao Guang, Fu Xing, Elk Wei and other people involved together was for this purpose. As for Zhuge Qiao, presumably he will definitely go to contact him alone later.

Wei Ba motioned for Zhao Guang to go to the back room to take out the chessboard for deduction, and said to Ma Jian with a smile: "I don't know if Ma wants to join the army according to our existing rules, or if he wants to modify the rules." ”

Ma Tan looked at Wei Ba, a little surprised, and then smiled again: "There are some inaccurate rules, of course, they need to be modified." ”

"For example?"

"For example, what people want."

"Another example?"

"Another example is the intelligence of the generals on both sides." Ma Jian said unhurriedly: "Another example is the reserve talents of both sides. A talent like Ziyu, I think Cao Wei is rare. The art of war is dead, and anyone has the opportunity to read the same book of war, but how to use it depends on everyone's comprehension ability. Ziyu, don't you say? ”

Wei Ba sighed in his heart, but his face did not show any surprise. It's not that he has a city government, but that he originally had such an impression of Ma Yan. These words came out of Ma Yan's mouth, and it couldn't have been more natural.

He didn't have any objections, and after watching Ma Jian change a few rules, the two sides began to deduce. Of course, Ma Jian represented the prime minister, Zhao Guang and Lu Wei represented Cao Wei, but Wei Ba was not even interested in participating. In his opinion, as soon as these rules are revised, deduction has become a real game, a game of obscenity. Although deduction cannot represent the facts, it is a collection of some force majeure factors to a large extent, and if even these very objective factors are not admitted, the deduction will lose its reference significance.

As Wei Ba expected, Elk Wei, who was not very familiar with military affairs, quickly admitted defeat, and Zhao Guang, who had previously held Cao Wei's record of total victory, was also wiped out this time, fighting five games in a row without a single victory.

"Ziyu is not interested in talking about a game?" Ma Jian fiddled with the small flag in his hand and looked at Wei Ba with a smile.

Wei Ba shook his head: "Ma is really a master in the army, Zhongde doesn't have a chance, and I can't do it." ”

Ma Jian thought for a while, then turned his head and glanced at Zhao Guang and Lu Wei. Zhao Lu and the others hurriedly got up to say goodbye and took the door with them. When the footsteps outside gradually disappeared, Ma Tan put down the small flag in his hand and slowly raised his head: "Ziyu, I rushed to Anyang this time because of your urgent report." After receiving your urgent report, the prime minister immediately convened a few of us to discuss the matter, despite the night's sleep. He is very appreciative of this deduction game of yours. ”

Wei Ba said lightly: "I am really ashamed to be appreciated by the prime minister." ”

Ma Tan saw that Wei Ba said beautifully, but there was no joy on his face, and knew that he didn't take it seriously at all. He sighed and said, "Even Yang Yi said that if you only look at it from a calculation point of view, your deduction is very valuable for reference, and it can be of great help to Jihua's arrangement." ”

Wei Ba looked at Ma Yan, although he was not a master of scheming, he also knew that most of the good things he said in front were not the right topic, and only the words behind "but" were what he really wanted to say.

"However, a game is a game, and the rules are set by people. As soon as the rules are changed, the outcome of the game will be very different. You say, don't you? ”

Wei Ba nodded, but still didn't speak. This sentence sounds reasonable, but it actually makes perfect sense. When he formulated the rules, he was as objective as possible, focusing on those factors that could not be easily changed, while Ma Tan's revision of the rules was a kind of arbitrariness and a kind of self-righteousness, which was not the same thing at all.

"Of course, it's very rare for you to have such a mind when you are in battle for the first time. The purpose of my coming to Anyang is, on the one hand, to correct some of your shortcomings, and on the other hand, to commend your efforts on behalf of the Prime Minister. Ma Tan said as he took out Zhuge Liang's handwriting from his arms and pushed it in front of Wei Ba. Wei Ba was moved, and hurriedly took it with both hands, and bowed respectfully.

"The prime minister has a lot of opportunities, and he gave me a reply in person, I really ......"

Ma Jian smiled with satisfaction. He looked at Wei Ba's excited face, and said, "In addition to the handwritten letter, there are some words that cannot be put on paper, and the prime minister wants me to tell you in person." These words come out of my mouth and into your ears, you know? ”

"I ...... I'm afraid I can't afford it. Wei Ba stammered.

Ma Tan was not surprised by Wei Ba's excitement at all. He waved his hand and said with a smile: "Since the prime minister said that he can tell you, then you can bear it." Ziyu, Cheng has very high expectations for you, you must guard against arrogance and rashness, be humble and down-to-earth, and don't be blinded by temporary interests. As the prime minister said, tranquility can lead to far-reaching, and tranquility can lead to clear ambitions. ”

"Whoa."

"The first thing: the prime minister needs a victory now, no matter whether this victory is big or small, but it must be a victory, and there is no room for negligence."

Wei Ba's heart was agitated, and he suddenly remembered Mrs. Zhang's words, Mrs. Xindao was really wise, and she actually guessed the prime minister's mind at once. It's really her position that has a stronger sense of substitution, can she compare her heart to her heart?

"The second thing ......" Ma Jian stared at Wei Ba's eyes: "The reason why the prime minister vetoed Meridian Valley Jihua is not only because Meridian Valley Jihua is too risky and the probability of success is extremely low, but because even if Meridian Valley Jihua is lucky, we still can't occupy Guanzhong, on the contrary, we will lose control of Yizhou." Although Guanzhong is good, it is not something we can swallow in one bite. Reviving the Han dynasty is a difficult task, and we can only approach it step by step, and we can't rejoice in the achievements and hope to complete the work in one battle. ”

Wei Ba's brows tightened, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Where does this start?" "―――――― uh, the automatic release error, a little late, please Haihan.
