Wei Ba argued that the girl in white was speechless, giving her father a face, but she couldn't be proud for long. After Wei Yan finished handling government affairs, he drove out Mianyang Ling and his subordinate who had just been beaten to the point of being so beaten, his face darkened.

"What do you think of Guan Hou?"

Wei Ba saw Wei Yan's face and knew that the real problem was coming. The Ma family's affairs were only a matter of face. Ma Chao was dead. Ma Dai was just a captain. With his father's temper, he would not take them seriously. If he scolded him, he would scold him. What else could he do? But Guan Yu's affairs were not a trivial matter. He knew from Wei Wu that Wei Yan was not convinced of anyone, and only admired Guan Yu, and admired him so much that he admired him.

This can probably be attributed to similar personalities. Wei Yan and Guan Yu have many similarities. They are brave and good at fighting, well-versed in military strategies, and have read some books, but look down on scholars. Especially with their temper, Wei Yan is as confident as Guan Yu, and is almost conceited, and can almost be said to be arrogant. This can be seen from his disdain for even the five good generals of Cao Wei. Among the generals of Shu Han, only Guan Yu could really catch his eye. He yearns for the fact that Guan Yu flooded the seven armies, which shocked China and forced Cao Cao to almost move the capital. In recent years, he has always been looking forward to leading troops to the north like Guan Yu, and restoring the Central Plains.

Wei Ba's scolding Ma Chao as a frustrated dog is not a problem at all. In Wei Yan's eyes, Ma Chao is just a frustrated dog. However, Wei Ba disagreed with Guan Yu, Wei Yan could not accept it, and was very angry.

When Ma Chao's daughter was angry, she looked like a female leopard, with awesome momentum, but in front of Wei Yan, the real tiger, it was a small witch. When Wei Ba saw Wei Yan's elongated face, his heart began to swell, and his calves habitually shivered, which was even more trembling than the two armors on her body. Wei Yan glanced at him sideways and slowly pinched his fingers. As long as Wei Ba dealt with it improperly, he would come up and overturn it to the ground and beat it up.

If Wei Ba was still the weak Wei Ba in the past, if Wei Ba had not reflected deeply on the hospital bed, he decided to defeat himself and change his destiny from now on, now he was afraid that he would be scared to fear, let alone face it calmly.

However, now he is ready. He just got the Ma family and has added a lot of confidence to him. He hopes to take this opportunity to remind his father Wei Yan not to follow Guan Yu's footsteps. Master Xu once said that people can have pride, but not pride. Proud people usually die miserably, and Guan Yu is like this. If you don't change, the same will be true in the future.

Wei Ba calmed down and spoke slowly. "Father, I heard that when the First Lord visited Prime Minister Zhuge in Longzhong three times, the Prime Minister had a countermeasure to divide the world into three parts. Can you tell me?"

Wei Yan frowned, and did not answer his question to Wei Ba, but asked Liu Bei's three visits to the cottage. However, seeing Wei Ba's calm expression and calm tone, it was not like a joke. He did not scold Wei Ba for the first time, and then said, "I heard the first lord mention it occasionally, but I only had a few words and my knowledge was limited. Where did you hear it?"

"Father, don't ask me where I heard it from." Wei Ba didn't want to get involved in these details, and he might not tell the truth, but also make the topic apart. He directly interrupted Wei Yan's words and then asked: "Prime Minister Zhuge's countermeasures are actually two key points. One is to have Jingyi and divide the world into three parts. The other is to send troops to restore the Central Plains."

Wei Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at Wei Ba with his eyes curled up. What he said just now was not a false statement. He really only knew a little bit of this countermeasure. This was mentioned by Liu Bei and Fa Zheng when they were talking about the general trend of the world. He was not clear about the specific situation, but the two points Wei Ba just said can indeed summarize all the meanings.

"The first lord entered Yizhou, and Guan Hou stayed to settle Jingzhou. He not only shouldered the heavy responsibility of Juyou Jingyi, but also took on the heavy responsibility of sending troops from both groups in the future. However, Guan Hou was defeated by Maicheng, and he died, he also gave Jingzhou to Eastern Wu. Juyou Jingyi became an empty talk, and the two groups of troops were out of reach. With the current situation, Shu Kingdom had to send troops, so he could only go to Hanzhong. It was many times more difficult than from Jingzhou to Wanluo. Guan Hou's defeat almost ruined most of our Shu Han's life. Can such a person still be called a famous general?"

Wei Yan snorted lightly: "You are judging heroes by success or failure. Don't you know that you are not a famous general who can be called an invincible general? Sometimes, there are many reasons for defeat, but it is not controlled by the general's instinct. Since you have read the Book of Taishi Gong, don't you know that the overlord Xiang Yu said that it is the destruction of heaven and I am not the crime of war."

Wei Ba was a little surprised. From my father's tone, could there be something else in it?

"Is it not his fault for Guan Hou losing Jingzhou or leaving Maicheng, but for others' responsibility?"

"The defeat of Guan Hou has many hidden stories, and it is difficult to explain it in one word. When I return to Nanzheng, I will talk to you in detail if I have the chance." Wei Yan sighed, with a little lonely expression, "However, you can realize the disadvantage of losing Jingzhou to our army. I heard your brother say that you have guessed that the Prime Minister is about to enter Hanzhong's Northern Expedition, so let's talk about what strategy the Prime Minister will adopt in the Northern Expedition."

Wei Ba was also a little nervous. He knew how Zhuge Liang was expeditioning the Northern Expedition, but this incident had not happened yet. It was a prediction, not a judgment of the fait accompli. If you guess correctly, there was no problem, but if you guess wrongly, it would be troublesome. The good impression that was finally established in my father's heart would collapse.

"What's wrong? I dare to talk about Guan Hou, but I dare not talk about Prime Minister?" Wei Yan laughed sarcastically.

Wei Ba took a deep breath and decided to take a bet. He had just arrived in this world and had never left Hanzhong. He should not have had such a big impact, which changed the direction of history. What's more, Zhuge Liang was not something that could be influenced by ordinary people.

"The suspect troops came out of the Xigu, and the main force came out of Longxi."

"Suspected troops leave the silence valley, the main force goes out to Longxi

?" Wei Yan smiled disappointed, his tone full of disdain: "This is your opinion? Haha, it's really nonsense and nonsense. I just said, how could you become smart all of a sudden? Now it seems that you are just some clever things, and you can't take it seriously."

Wei Ba was unmoved and smiled slightly: "What do you think my father should do it?"

Wei Yan looked at him, thought for a moment, and smiled and said, "Well, it's rare that you are interested in military affairs, so I will enlighten you so that you won't be embarrassed outside in the future." He sat behind the desk, then pointed and knocked on the desk twice before he raised his head: "Those who govern the military should know the geography. Let's talk about it first, how much do you know about the geography of my Hanzhong."

Wei Ba shook his head: "I only know a little bit, but the specific knowledge is limited. I would like to ask my father for advice."

Wei Yan didn't expect him to say anything. He got up and took out a silk map from the inner room, spread it on the table, and waved to Wei Ba to sit closer. Wei Ba looked at it and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. This map was very simple, with only a few lines and a few place names marked. Not only could it not be compared with the maps of later generations, but it was also much simpler than the Han Dynasty military map unearthed from Mawangdui.

"There are three choices to take Luoyang from Hanzhong." Wei Yan extended his finger and gently stroked the map. His movements were rare and gentle. It can be seen that he cherished this map very much. "First, from Hanzhong to Hanzhong, heading to Xiangyang along the Mian River, and directly pointing to Wanluo. This road is the most direct and closest, and it is the best strategy. Second, cross the Qinling Mountains, take Guanzhong directly, and then go east along the Wei River and then take Luoyang. Because it is difficult to cross the mountains, this road is difficult, and it takes time to take Guanzhong first. However, Guanzhong is geographically dangerous, known as the four barriers of Guanhe. When Qin took Guanzhong to win the world.

As long as the army guards Tongguan and lets Cao Wei have no way westward, they can sit and take Guanzhong. Compared to taking Wanluo directly, the number of troops is also small, which is a relatively safe way, and can be called Zhongshou. The last road is what you said to go out of Longxi. This road is the farthest, and after taking Longxi, you will have to break through Longshan, which is quite difficult. If you waste time in Longxi and the main force of the Wei army comes to help, there will inevitably be a fierce battle in Guanzhong. It is unknown who will win. Therefore, the road you mentioned is the most unreasonable of the three roads, and your strategy is also the worst strategy."

Wei Yan raised his head and looked at Wei Ba sneered. "Among the three strategies, you should take the best strategy. With your knowledge, you dare to criticize Guan Hou?"

Wei Ba disagreed. He believed that his father's vision would not be wrong. Among these three strategies, it was indeed the worst strategy to leave Longxi. However, in history, Zhuge Liang did leave Longxi. Could he not see the advantages and disadvantages of these three strategies? Although Zhuge Liang could not really be able to call the wind and rain as in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there is no doubt that Zhuge Liang is one of the most outstanding military strategists of this era. He did not take the best strategy, but he would definitely have his own reason to take the worst strategy. Even if his choice was based on his prudent nature, there would inevitably be a reason that forced him to do so. But he didn't know it now.

Wei Ba knew that when it comes to science and technology, he could be considered top in this world, but when it comes to military strategy, he had a lot of historical stories, but he knew nothing about a specific thing, such as the geography of Hanzhong that Wei Yan just mentioned, and he was confused.

He smiled and said, "Father, what you said may make sense, but this is just your choice, and Prime Minister Zhuge may not think so."

Wei Yan sneered again. "The Prime Minister is the chief general of the Northern Expedition, so of course there is no doubt. But your father, as the general of Zhenbei, has been ordered by the former lord to defend Hanzhong for nearly ten years. The Prime Minister wants to fight the Northern Expedition, so how can he not listen to my opinion? Even if he does not fully adopt my best strategy, it is inevitable to use the middle strategy. With the Prime Minister's wisdom, will he take the worst strategy? Do you think he is you."

Wei Ba touched his nose and smiled more and more humblely. It is difficult to convince his father now. No matter from any aspect, he cannot gain the upper hand and just make his father unhappy. Fortunately, the standard for judging right and wrong is not to who is right, but to look at the final facts. Since his father is so sure, it may not be a bad thing to let him hit a wall in the face of facts.

"Father, the Prime Minister is coming to Hanzhong soon anyway, so we might as well wait and see what strategy the Prime Minister takes."

"This is natural." Wei Yan thought of the Prime Minister's Northern Expedition, and he was about to get a lot of money, and he felt relieved. He smiled proudly, stroked the short beard under his jaw, and pondered for a moment: "Although your knowledge is not good, you can't compare to your brother. Since you are also interested in military affairs, let's do this. From now on, you can handle some clerical affairs and help your brother share some of it."

Wei Ba responded habitually, and when he reacted, his scalp became numb. It was okay to move his mouth, but if he really wanted to write, not to mention whether he could write a classical Chinese official document, even his words were tilted. He raised his head, looked at Wei Yan, and faced his father's encouraging gaze. After thinking about it, he opened his mouth, and finally swallowed the words he refused and nodded vigorously.

If you want to survive in this world, you must always learn calligraphy and always learn to read and write classical Chinese documents. Since that's the case, why not start from now on. Everything is difficult at the beginning. When you encounter problems now, you can learn from your father and brother without embarrassing them outside. What a rare opportunity, how can you let go of them easily?——————————————————All data is very important in the new book period. Please support me with all the data.
