Chapter 1213 The Wei Brothers

  Compared to the turmoil in Chang'an, the academy is much quieter.

  Walking in the college, you can see students in twos and threes, either hurrying to the classroom, or holding books and studying hard under the shade of trees.

  Of course, some people spread mats on the grass, and several people gathered together, discussing something fiercely.

   But no matter what it is, everything still looks so peaceful and peaceful.

  The tense atmosphere in Chang'an and even in Guanzhong seemed to be blocked by the high walls of the college, and did not affect the students in the college.

  Yaomei carried the food box and hurriedly walked along the corridor of the Royal Academy.

   Occasionally, I met a few students, and when they saw the supervisor’s wife, they all backed away and bowed to Yaomei:

   "Meet the lady."

  On a normal day, Yaomei would sometimes stop and talk to them in a warm voice.

   But at this time, she was not in the slightest mood. She just nodded slightly at them, hurried past, and then turned into the supervisor's guard room.

   "Squeak!"

  The door was opened, then quickly closed again, and purposefully.

   Wei Rong, who was looking down at the information, looked up and saw that it was his own gentleman, put down the things in his hands, and showed a gentle smile on his face:

"coming?"

  Yaomei put the food box on the table and sat opposite Wei Rong, panting slightly.

   It can be seen that she walked in a hurry.

  At this time, she was holding on to her nonchalant expression along the way, which had turned into an anxious expression:

   "I heard something happened to Shangdang?"

  Wei Rong reached out, took the food box, then opened the lid, looked at the things in the food box, and said casually:

   "Well, Shangdang was attacked by Wei thieves, and the inner Ying opened the pot to respond. At this time, it is basically confirmed that it is lost."

"ah!?"

  Yaomei's face changed when she heard the words, and she stood up suddenly, "How could this be, then Uncle (that is, Wei Yan), he, he..."

   "Today's food seems to lack some standards." Wei Rong didn't seem to notice Yaomei's reaction, he took a bite of the food, "It's not as good as usual."

   "I'm telling you something serious, did you listen? Just eat and eat!"

   Seeing his nonchalant appearance, Yaomei stomped her feet angrily and patted the table:

   "Shangdang is such a big deal, you just say yes and it's over?"

   "Then what else can I do?"

  Wei Rong swallowed the food in his mouth, and raised his head, "Didn't the teacher's wife lead the army to rescue? The gentleman behind must also rush there."

  While talking, Wei Rong lowered his head again, and took another bite, "You don't believe my lord, don't you believe sir?"

   "Of course I believe..." Yaomei just said half a sentence, and then slapped the table angrily, "Is this what I said?"

   "What do you want to say?"

  Although he said that today's food is not up to standard, Wei Rong chewed his food slowly, as if he was savoring it, and asked slowly.

   "I," Yaomei glanced at the door, then lowered her voice, and leaned in front of Wei Rong, "Aren't you worried about Uncle?"

  Hearing this, Wei Rong paused for a moment, then sat up straight.

   After being silent for a while, a somewhat complicated look finally appeared on the calm and calm face:

   "It would be a lie to say that I am not worried, but I know that the matter has come to this point, no matter how much I worry about it, it is useless."

  He finally sighed, "I don't know how things will turn out."

   "Now, I just hope that brother (namely Wei Chang) can listen to my advice a little bit."

  Seeing his appearance, Yaomei's heart tightened: "What do you mean?"

  Wei Rong didn't answer, but just picked up a stack of documents from under the table and handed it to Yaomei:

   "This is the Shangdang war deduced by the Jiangwu Hall. Don't spread it after you read it."

  Yaomei refused to answer: "I don't want to watch it, tell me."

  Even if I show it to her, can she understand it?

  Wei Rong sighed again:

   "Simply speaking, the battle of Shangdang may actually be a bureau set up by the Wei thieves, just like the bureau set up by Guan Laojunhou who lost Jingzhou."

  Even if Yaomei doesn’t know anything about the military formation, she definitely knows about things like the loss of Jingzhou.

   But seeing her pale face: "Lost Jingzhou?"

  Wei Rong nodded: "Up to this point in the Shangdang war, it can already be seen that the thieves' arrangement is almost the same as when they plotted against Jingzhou."

  When Guan Laojunhou attacked Xiangfan, he was about to attack, but it happened to be the last point.

   And what about Wei thief?

  Reinforcements have clearly arrived, but they just don’t go to rescue, but seize the time to prepare for a counterattack.

  As for Guan Laojunhou, he was reluctant to see the result of the battle that was about to be achieved.

  At the same time, the Wu people deliberately paralyzed Guan Laojunhou, waiting for Guan Laojunhou to mobilize the rear troops to the front line, and then under the support of Jingzhou Neiying, they attacked from the rear in one fell swoop.

  Guan Laojunhou was attacked from both front and back, and was finally defeated and killed.

   This time in the Shangdang war, Wei thief used the same method to attract his lord with the high capital city.

   Judging from the deduction in the lecture hall, it is obvious that Wei thief can rescue Gaodu City earlier this time.

  But it happened that the soldiers were stationed at Tianjing Pass, and they stopped.

  Forcing the adults to take the Gaodu City as soon as possible, they had to transfer Huguan and other guards here.

   Then what...

  Everything has become what it is now.

  Oh, by the way, Lu Xun also wrote to the head of the mountain, asking the head of the mountain to lead the troops out of Wuguan. I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or sincerity...

  Wei Rong smiled wryly:

   "Now even the adult's reaction is exactly the same as that of Guan Laojunhou. He is reluctant to go to the capital city and wants to return to the teacher to rescue the eldest son of Huguan..."

   Having said this, he stopped talking.

  Because if we go on, we will miss the last step, and the army will be defeated and killed.

  Guan Laojunhou has no way to break this situation, Wei Rong does not think that his lord is more powerful than Guan Laojunhou.

  Yaomei sat down and murmured:

   "So, isn't Uncle like the story of Guan Laojunhou?"

   The corner of Wei Rong's mouth twitched.

  If my lord is really like Guan Laojunhou, that's okay.

  But Wei Rong doesn't think that his master can be compared with Guan Laojunhou.

  No matter how proud Guan Laojunhou is, he also understands the overall situation and listens to other people's advice.

   It is said that Guan Laojunhou rejected Sun Quan's marriage proposal, which angered Sun Quan.

  But given the situation at the time, let alone the refusal due to anger, even if Guan Laojunhou was more polite, I am afraid that Sun Quan would have to use a plan to alienate him.

  That’s called ignorance of the overall situation—what would the late emperor think in Shu, have you considered it?

  The prime minister wrote a letter to persuade Guan Laojunhou to put down his desire to compete with Sui Xianghou (that is, Ma Chao), and Fei Gongju (that is, Fei Shi) persuaded Guan Laojunhou to accept the seal of the former general.

  Guan Laojunhou can listen to it, these are considered to be aware of the overall situation and listen to people's advice.

  But my lord...

  Who can persuade him?

  If it wasn't his own lord, Wei Rong would have scolded:

  He knows the big picture.

  When Yaomei heard Wei Rong's analysis, the expression on her face became even more anxious:

   "Ah Lang said so, isn't Shangdang really going to lose it?"

  Although Wei Rong was raised by Feng Duhu, he was rarely raised by Wei Yan.

  But no matter what, Wei Yan is fair to his mother, and he is also his father in name.

  Of course Wei Rong doesn't want his lord to fall to this point.

  Just as a disciple of King Feng Gui, the knowledge he has learned over the years is not for display.

  Combined with his identity, he can grasp information that ordinary people don't know, so he can see it more deeply than others:

   "The former emperor and the prime minister managed Jingzhou for nearly ten years, and the Wu people can still get Jingzhou's internal support. Guan Laojunhou also has many counselors and generals under his command, but they still can't defend Jingzhou."

   As he said that, Wei Rong's face began to look a little ugly:

   "The big man has only been in Shangdang for three years now, not to mention, the only person who assists him by your side is a Wei Guoxie."

  Operation?

  What business?

  Wei Rong was also a little depressed.

  Evidently I am the supervisor of the Royal Academy, but my lord does not want the students of the academy to be sent to the Shangdang.

   Is this not trusting students?

   This simply does not believe in his own son!

   Meeting such an adult with such a bad temper, such selfishness, and such low vision, Wei Rong was also helpless.

  The late emperor's extraordinary promotion and the prime minister's generosity and tolerance made my lord seem a little carried away.

   Really think that people in this world can treat him like the first emperor and the prime minister?

   Know what Mr.'s name is?

  cough cough...

   Not to mention Mr., even Sima Yi, I am afraid that he has long regarded himself as an adult.

   Still want to counterattack?

  What to use to attack?

  Just saying this now will no longer benefit the Shangdang war.

  After all, even the husband did not expect that Shangdang would become the second Jingzhou.

  Yaomei twisted her fingers:

   "However, if the war in Shangdang is not harmonious, will it implicate you, Alang?"

  Hearing this, Wei Rong smiled lightly:

   "I am a disciple of my husband, and I am also the supervisor of the college. I am not involved in court affairs or military affairs on weekdays. As long as my husband doesn't speak, who will talk to me?"

  Seeing Wei Rong's calm appearance, Yaomei breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

  Wei Rong shook his head and smiled:

   "After talking for a long time, it turned out that you came here for this matter. I think you should go back quickly and keep an eye on the exchange."

   "With the war together, food prices are likely to rise. I'm afraid you will be busy again."

   "What are you afraid of? Others don't know, so I don't know how far the price of food for the big man can go?"

  Bringing this up, Yaomei is confident enough, but seeing her sneer:

   "If you want to raise it, let it rise. I see who is so courageous? The walls of Chang'an City are higher than Jincheng, and the Wei River is wide and deep enough."

   "Go, go! It's eating, tell me this, disturbing people's appetite!"

  …

"kill!"

   "Boom..."

  The Han army leaning on the heights kept throwing down rocks and trees.

  Many Wei soldiers were often smashed to death or injured before they rushed to the halfway up the mountain.

  At this moment, it is just like that moment when Wei Yan attacked Gaodu City.

  Just guarding Weichang at the highest point of Gaodu City, looking at the Wei army all over the mountains and plains, they are still continuously coming to kill.

   On his face, the look of worry became more and more intense.

   Master Qianfan attacked the city, and the city of Gaodu was already shattered.

  The day after your lord led the army to leave, the Wei thieves began to attack the city.

  Obviously, the bandit army's idea is to delay the army in Gaodu City, and wait for the eldest son of Huguan's bandit army to finish preparations before attacking the adults back and forth.

   Either they want to storm Gaodu, and then cooperate with the eldest son's thieves to attack the adults back and forth.

   This is a matter of making it clear that there is no need to cover up.

  But for Wei Chang, even if he knew what Wei thief was thinking, there was nothing he could do.

  Fortunately, Gaodu City is built on the hillside, and I can defend it by the hillside. This is why I can stop the thieves who want to enter Shangdang through Gaodu.

   But facing the absolute superiority of Wei Jun, Wei Chang had no idea at all.

  In fact, he once wanted to persuade the adults to give up Gaoducheng altogether, and not to lead the troops back to the eldest son in a hurry.

   Instead, they shrank their forces to Gaoping Pass, guarding the pass from Hedong to Shangdang, and blocked the main traffic road between the eldest son and Gaodu.

  In this way, even if the bandit Wei occupies the entire Shangdang, as long as Gaopingguan is in the hands of the big man, the Shangdang will be divided into two parts, one large and one small, unable to respond to each other.

  Wei Chang knew that he had been in the army with the adults for more than ten years, and how could the adults not think of things he could think of?

  But with the temper of an adult...

well!

  Was thinking about it, only to hear the sound of war drums from the foot of the mountain again, Wei thief, who had just been forced back, immediately organized another wave of attack.

  Wei Chang pressed his chest, he could feel the letter hidden close to his body.

   It was written by my younger brother. Even adults don't know about this letter.

   "Come on, follow me to kill the thief!"

  Wei Chang put down his hand, pulled out the long knife at his waist, and shouted:

"kill!"

  …

   Master Sima, who had been watching the battle on another hill, had no expression on his face when he saw the soldiers being forced down by the Han army again.

  But when he saw the movement of the Han Jun Shuai flag on the opposite hill, the sarcoma in the corner of his eye trembled suddenly, and even stained a little blood red.

  At the same time, his face showed joy, and he clapped his fists:

   "The movement of the traitor's commander-in-chief flag is simply that the commander-in-chief himself went into battle!"

   "I look at the previous battles, and I only think that what Wei Yan left behind must be elite soldiers."

   "But I didn't expect that this thief despises me so much, and there are so few guards left, haha, hahaha!"

   "Come here, pass on my military order and continue to send the fourth team!"

  Although the subsequent rounds of attacks were still repulsed, Sima Shi was not disappointed.

   On the contrary, he was very satisfied.

   "The leader of the bandits is so quiet today, either because the bandits don't have enough troops, or because the commander of the bandits is a restless and easy-going person. It can be seen that the bandits will be broken within a few days!"

  The sarcoma in the corner of the eye has become oily and bright red.

  In Gaodu City opposite, Wei Chang was stuffing the urgent letter he had just finished into the envelope.

  Just at the moment when he was about to seal it, hesitant expression appeared on his face again, after thinking for a while, he pulled out the letter paper and unfolded it.

   Read it and see if there is anything wrong with it.

   So again and again.

   But finally, he put the letter down, sighed, stood up, and went outside.

  Looking at the dots in the mountains and valleys opposite, Wei Chang gritted his teeth, and finally turned back, stuffed the letter into the envelope for the last time, and sealed it.

  The next day, before dawn, the cavalry sent from Gaodu City rushed towards the eldest son in a hurry.

  PS:

   It is said that Wei Yan forcibly lowered his intelligence, I don’t think it counts, right?

   This was originally Wei Yan's character in history.

  I know many people feel sorry for Wei Yan.

  But we have to consider the problem from the perspective of Adou and even Jiang Wan:

   Even if you have a big grievance, can you put your personal grievances above the survival of the country?

  If it wasn’t for Zhuge’s death to be able to swindle a wave of Sima Yi back, it would have given Sima Yi a chance to chase after him.

   Wei Yan set fire to the pavilion where the Northern Expedition army returned to Hanzhong, and led the army to the front to block everyone's retreat.

   At that time, the Northern Expeditionary Army will lose ground, and Sima Yi will be able to take away the main force of the Kingdom of Shu in one wave.

  Every time I read this piece of history and substitute a little bit of A Dou, I feel a chill down my back:

  Are you loyal? This is simply to trap Shu to death.

  The prime minister just died. For your own personal grievances, you can even ignore that the army may be buried in Sima Yi's hands?

  Where is the country in your heart? Where is the Son of Heaven in your heart?

   This time the prime minister died and I have to cover it for you. Then next time you make trouble, who will cover it?

  I can't control you, and you are so destructive, I might as well just kill you.

  Why did Zhuge persuade Liu Bei to kill Liu Feng?

  So I think it is somewhat credible that Zhuge told Yang Yi, Jiang Wei and others in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms to leave Wei Yan alone after his death and retreat directly.

  Because even if history is reversed, Wei Yan finally killed Yang Yi.

   But after returning to Shu, with Wei Yan's personality, sooner or later he will fall into the same situation as Yang Yi.

  As I said before, I can't control you, and you don't pay attention to me, so why should I keep you?

  Even if the Shu Han no longer has the tradition of killing ministers easily, it is still possible to hang you up.

   At that time, with Wei Yan's temper, no one can guarantee what will happen.

   To put it bluntly, Wei Yan's character and actions are destined to be a tragedy no matter which time and space he is in.

   Includes Modern.

  Unless Liu Bei or Zhuge outlives Wei.

  But how many Liu Bei and Zhuge are there in the world?
