Zhang Fei was overjoyed that he successfully accepted Jiang Wei. He and Jiang Wei walked at the front of the team, and hearty laughter came from the front from time to time.
Zhang Da looked at this scene and asked Wu Er in a low voice: "What is Jiang Boyue's strength? Why does the general respect him so much? Aren't you afraid that Han Shao will send him to pretend to surrender?"
Wu Er shook his head and replied: "The reason why the general likes Jiang Wei is because General Lan recommended him when he was in Xiangyang the year before last, so the general is so interested. As for whether it is Tianshui's work, I think the general has his own thoughts. "
"General Lan...it turns out to be like this..."
Zhang Da still remembers Lan Tian's performance in Jingzhou. Even the aloof Guan Yu obeyed his advice. Pang De, whom he favored and trained, was also wanted to leave by Guan Yu. Zhang Da wondered whether General Lan would become the next Xu Shao?
When he rested his horse at night, Jiang Wei ate the compressed dry food again. He curiously asked Zhang Fei: "General, I have never seen this dry food before. Why does eating such a small piece make me feel full?" "
Zhang Fei smiled and replied: "This is called compressed military ration. It is made with a special process. The military advisor made it specially for me."
"Military advisor?" Liu Bei had more than one military advisor, and Jiang Wei didn't know who Zhang Fei was talking about.
Zhang Fei explained: "It's Zhuge Kongming, known as Mr. Wolong. He shakes his feather fan no matter in winter or summer..."
"I have heard of Mr. Wolong's name. People say that he has extraordinary talents. The compressed dry food he made is so miraculous. No wonder the general can persist in Liangzhou for so long. There are so many capable people in the king's tent. I can't do it..." Jiang Wei shook his head.
"To be honest, without me, Lao Zhang, this compressed army ration would not be possible at all, so please don't belittle yourself. Since Ziyu can value you, it means that Boyue is also outstanding. Again, let's not compare ourselves with geniuses. , that is asking for trouble..." Zhang Fei said with a smile.
"This compressed military rations has something to do with the general?" Jiang Wei showed a surprised expression.
Zhang Fei nodded and replied: "I have entered Liangzhou many times before, but every time I returned without success due to lack of food. Last year I went to Chengdu to celebrate the New Year and attended Lan Boyang's wedding, so I pestered the military advisor to allocate more military rations to me. But you know that it is too difficult to transport grain on the Shu Road. Only 30% of the grain is left from Chengdu to Wudu, and the consumption on the road is too great."
"So?" Jiang Wei asked.
"I went to the Prime Minister's Mansion every day to quarrel. Later, Lan Ziyu went to Kong Ming to talk about the matter. The two talked about transporting rations to me. Finally, Ziyu came up with the idea of compressing military rations. The military advisor conducted experiments according to his ideas, and finally How about successfully making the compressed military rations we eat? My contribution is not small, right?" Zhang Fei asked proudly.
"Uh...not small..." Jiang Wei replied awkwardly. General Zhang's so-called contribution was to force Zhuge's military advisor to find a way. In the end, General Lan and Zhuge's military advisor jointly solved the problem.
Jiang Wei obviously admires Zhuge Liang and Lan Tian more. He doesn't know that it is often the demand side that forces the technical side to innovate. Every link has its own role. A certain great achievement is not the unique credit of one person. .
Jiang Wei had seen the end of his martial arts, so he wanted to work hard in other areas.
On the way back to Xiabian, Jiang Wei became interested in the deeds of Liu Bei's great advisers, and asked Zhang Fei beside him. He said to himself that if an outsider like himself was lucky enough to be accepted as a disciple, he would definitely be under the command of the King of Hanzhong in the future. Being able to do whatever he wanted, he greedily decided on Zhuge Liang and Lan Tian.
At the end of February, the expeditionary force returned to Shimoben Castle to rest and recuperate.
Zhang Fei wrote three letters during this period, two of which were sent to Chengdu and one to Guangzhou.
Two letters were sent to Chengdu. One was to offer victory to Liu Bei and introduce the situation of the newly acquired Jiang Wei. The other was to Zhuge Liang, reporting on the usefulness of compressed military rations in battle. He proposed that they could be produced in large quantities, and It can shorten the time to leave Qinchuan.
The letter sent to Guangzhou was written to Lan Tian. The first question was when Huben Wutang would open. The second question was when the next batch of kelp would arrive. The third question was that Jiang Wei had already obtained it and asked Lan Tian how to cultivate it.
In early March, spring was warm and the flowers were blooming. Zhang Fei led a small group of troops and ran towards Yangping Pass with Jiang Wei.
When they arrived at Yangping Pass, Jiang Wei was still a little uneasy. He was worried that Ma Chao would really kill him to vent his anger. This impression was quite profound when he was a boy.
When Ma Chao occupied Jicheng, Jiang Wei was less than ten years old. He had seen Jin Ma Chao's style from afar with his father Jiang Zhu.
At that time, Ma Chao had just defeated Longyou. Although he managed to occupy Jixian County by force, he was dissatisfied by local nobles such as Yang Fu and Jiang Xu. Later, Ma Chao fell into the trap and all his wife, children, and family members who were trapped in Jicheng were executed.
In the clear eyes of young Jiang Wei, Ma Chao at that time was like a bereaved dog, his blood-red eyes were occupied by hatred, which was far from the Jin Ma Chao in his heart. Jiang Wei also unconsciously reminded himself that it was not advisable to take advantage of the courage of a common man like Ma Chao. I won’t be able to learn from him in the future.
Jiang Wei saw Ma Chao again. He was already in his prime, and the heroic spirit between his brows was still there, but his eyes were no longer as helpless as before. At this time, Ma Chao looked more stable, and his eyes also revealed precious hope.
In history, Ma Chao rushed to Shu in panic. Due to his poor reputation before, uu reading, although he was accepted by Liu Bei, he did not dare to give him military power. This made Ma Chao have no choice but to shelve him.
A general is like water without roots, helpless and helpless. After Ma Chao entered Shu, no one approached him. The only one who approached him was Peng K. Because he was arrogant and conceited, Liu Bei demoted him to Jiangyang Prefect before leaving. He instigated Ma Chao to "rebel" with him.
After hearing what Peng Ke said, Ma Chao was horrified and quickly reported Peng Ke, and Peng Ke was executed.
Because of the existence of Lan Tian, Ma Chao was reborn in this plane. Peng K, who was demoted, knew that Lan Tian was behind him and did not dare to go to Ma Chao to say treasonous words. Instead, he lived to this day because of it.
Every time Zhang Fei passed by Yangping Pass, Ma Chao would throw a banquet to entertain him, and this time he took Jiang Wei through was no exception.
"The three generals are making a lot of noise in Tianshui. Remember to call me next time something good like this happens." Ma Chao joked with a smile.
Zhang Fei replied cheerfully: "Don't worry, Meng Qi. There will be endless battles for you in the future. I have gained a lot of experience by going to Liangzhou this time. I have already written to the king and the military adviser, asking Chengdu to prepare troops, horses and food as soon as possible. I hope it will be soon." Leave Qinchuan at one point north."
"That's good." Ma Chao responded with a smile, then pointed to Jiang Wei next to him and asked: "Is this young man a soldier of the general?"
Zhang Fei shook his head and replied: "This is Jiang Wei, Jiang Boyue, this is my biggest gain in Tianshui."
"Are you from the Jiang family in Tianshui?" Ma Chao suddenly frowned.
"General Ma is polite, my father's name is Jiang Zhu and our family is indeed from Tianshui Jiang family." Jiang Wei answered truthfully with fists clasped against the pressure.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Zhang Fei quickly warned: "Meng Qi, don't misunderstand. Boyue and Jiang Xu are not on the same side. Don't admit the wrong person."
