There were several heavy snowfalls in Guanzhong one after another, and the dripping water turned into ice. The weather was so cold that it could freeze people's fingers. The fierce battle in Guanzhong came to an abrupt end. Whether it was the eastern battlefield that had been fighting for a long time or the western battlefield where the war had just begun, it was all there.

This sudden snow disaster was forced to stop.

The Shu Han army had some savings, but it was not too nervous. All they had to worry about was the problem of how to transport them. The situation of the Wei army was relatively difficult. Zhang He led his army to retreat north of Gaoping, and even Tian Fu and Tian Yi brothers who were about to enter Guanzhong were almost in trouble.

He had to give up his plan to attack Guanzhong and retreated with great difficulty. Zhang He submitted a memorial to the emperor, requesting the urgent transportation of food and grass. If the food and grass could not be transported in time, the army would face the pain of being cut off.

In his memorial to the emperor, Zhang He confessed his mistakes and apologized to the emperor. Cao Rui was also very sorry, but did not blame Zhang He. He told Zhang He that if you withdraw, continue to wait for the opportunity to fight. You should consider it at your own discretion and don’t worry about food and grass.

I will find all solutions to the matter of food and grass, so you don’t have to worry. At the same time, he also expressed his condolences to the soldiers who went to war, and he will do his best to deliver the rewarded materials to the camp.

When Zhang He received the edict, his eyes were filled with tears. Qin Lang, Tian Yu and all the Wei soldiers were also very moved and he had to persist in fighting and wait for the opportunity.

Zhuge Liang also withdrew from Fengxian County at this time and seized the time to transport grain and grass. In response to the heavy snowfall, he invented sleds based on Jiang Wei's suggestion, which greatly reduced the difficulty of grain transportation.

On New Year's Eve, Zhuge Liang sat in the big tent and roasted on fire silently. Jiang Wei, Yang Yi and others sat around, no one spoke. Only three cups of wine and only two dishes. This New Year's Eve was very frugal.

, and the unexpected stalemate of the battle made people feel even more heavy.

Two hours ago, Zhuge Liang received an urgent report from Jiang Wan, knowing that at this moment, a bloodless but full of crisis will be launched in Quanling. Can Jiang Wan establish a foothold in Lingling and complete the handed over to Zhuge Liang?

The mission depends on the outcome of this contest tonight. The two places are thousands of miles apart, and even if there is a result, Jiang Wan cannot let Zhuge Liang know immediately. It will take at least half a month before Zhuge Liang can receive the news.

"Prime Minister, it seems that Wei Ba has no intention to come to Xiangyang at all." Yang Yi coughed and broke the silence. "What he said to Fei Yi before was nothing but a big statement."

Zhuge Liang glanced at him, straightened his waist, and said lightly: "These are all speculations. After all, it is my order not to let him come to Xiangyang to help. If he doesn't come, there is no place to blame."

Yang Yi nodded and moved towards Zhuge Liang, his voice pressing low. "What the Prime Minister said is very, but he has to be careful. If Wei Ba didn't come just because he was ordered by the Prime Minister, then Gong Yan went to Lingling

You can successfully master the three counties in Jiangnan, and the future logistics supply will be guaranteed. If Wei Ba doesn't come because he doesn't want to come at all, then Gong Yan's trip may..."

Yang Yi didn't say anything, but just looked at Zhuge Liang worriedly. Zhuge Liang stared at the swaying flames in the fire pit, but his eyes were a little sad. He did not answer Yang Yi's words, turned the wine glass in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.

Jiang Wei lowered his head, staring at the remaining wine in the cup, silent. Huo Yi held the tongs and pulled the firewood in the fire pit to make the fire burn more vigorously. The sky outside was gloomy and looked like it was

It is going to snow again, and I don’t know what the weather will be cold. As the Prime Minister’s Record Office, Huo Yi is most familiar with the official documents he has communicated and is also the most familiar with the Prime Minister’s inner worries. What the Prime Minister has to worry about is not just Wei Ba.

He was even more worried about Chengdu when he was willing to come to Xiangyang.

The Prime Minister was not in Chengdu, Jiang Wan went to Lingling again, but Li Yan returned to Chengdu. Before, Zhuge Liang asked him to go back to Chengdu to transport food and grass several times, but he refused to go back. Now the Prime Minister no longer mentioned this matter.

But he suddenly took the initiative to return to Chengdu. It was two days after Jiang Wan left Chengdu, and the intention was naturally self-evident.

There was a silence in the big tent, only the firewood was crackling.

...

Xiangguan, the lights were bright and the people were roaring. The barbarians in new clothes looked at each other, greeting happily, waiting for the start of the grand feast. The big families and powerful people who came from Lingling counties also greeted politely.

,They were politely and politely. They naturally kept a distance from the barbarian generals and divided into several obvious camps.

But their mood is the same, all of which are full of tension. Everyone knows that this year's New Year's Eve is different from previous years. General Wei Ba of Fuyi will have a new policy to introduce. Can you seize this opportunity?

Every family member is a test.

Out of self-evident consensus, Wei Ba received a large number of gifts, and the corridor was almost filled with people. While the front hall was crowded with people, the back hall was also filled with wives of all sizes, Xiahou Hui.

Surrounded by the stars and the moon, every move can cause praise. As for the son who cried like a thunderous drum, he was even more like a rare treasure in his wife's hands.

After countless people touched her face, I don’t know how many pieces of jade ornaments and gold toes were stuffed in the cradle, the little guy finally couldn’t help crying loudly. It turned out to be like gold and jade, making a big splash, some women

The beauty lost its beauty and it took a long time to calm down. Then he began to praise the general. This child was obviously the authentic successor of the peerless general.

When the day fell, Jiang Wan took Lai Qi and some other officials to leave Xiangguan in a hurry. Wei Ba immediately announced the start of the dinner. Everyone took their seats, Wei Ba sat in the middle for granted, and Liao Li sat on his left and right

Sitting on the side, Jiang Wan was under Liao Li, and under the husband were Zhu Wu, Tu Hu and other generals sat in turn.

Seeing Liao Li, Jiang Wan hesitated for a moment. Liao Li went to Quanling for a few moments. This was the first time they met. To be honest, they hadn't seen each other for some years. After Liao Li was demoted to Wenshan, they

I've never met.

"Gongyuan, are you okay?" Jiang Wan stepped forward to salute. Now his status is not as good as Liao Li, so of course he has to take the initiative to salute.

"Pong Yan, thank you for your hard work." Liao Li returned the favor, looked at Jiang Wan's face, and showed a faint smile: "Your face is not very good, are you too tired?"

"It is expected that you can take the responsibility to be heavy, and it is also a matter of hard work." Jiang Wan smiled silently, got into the seat, glanced at the general opposite, and couldn't help but sigh in secret. Wei Ba was going to report at today's banquet.

The land distribution after the New Year, but in front of so many barbarian generals, how can this be divided? Jiang Wan already had a premonition that today's meal would probably not be peaceful.

Jiang Wan's worries were not wrong at all. After three rounds of drinking, the relevant etiquette had just passed, and someone stood up and loudly asked Wei Ba to announce the land allocation situation next year. After the Spring Festival, all regions will start preparing for spring plowing.

, how much land can be divided into, is now the most concerned issue for every soldier.

Wei Ba waved his hand, signaled the general to sit down, turned his head, and smiled at Jiang Wan: "Mr. Gongyan, are you ready?"

Who sent Jiang Wan and what he came to do have spread throughout Lingling in a short period of time. Officials from Chengdu remained silent about this, and no one was willing to express their attitude to avoid offending either party.

The barbarian generals did not have such concerns. In their opinion, this was tolerant of the Prime Minister's attempt to seize the power of the generals of Wei, but who would not be able to bear it?

In an instant, countless fierce eyes focused on Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan stood up and felt like a martyr in a trance. He bowed and bowed to Wei Ba: "General, I have prepared a plan and am preparing to submit it to the general for review."

Wei Ba smiled faintly and said, "That's great. While all the wise men are here, let's discuss it together. Mr. Gong Yan, please explain this plan in detail to everyone present so that you can

They have a happy New Year.”

Jiang Wan took the plan from Lai Chang and read it one by one. The polite words in the previous ones did not cause much reaction. Everyone knew that those things were official articles, and even if the barbarian generals didn't understand them, they were not interested in asking questions.

But as soon as the formal provision arrived, Jiang Wan said a few words, Zhu Wu stood up and interrupted Jiang Wan's words. "You dare to ask Jiang to join the army. According to your opinion, you want to divide the tribes that have left the mountain to settle for the big families.

A part of it?"

The lobby was originally very quiet, with only Jiang Wan's voice. Now that Zhu Wu stood up, the lobby was even more silent. Everyone held their breath and refused to let go of a word.

Jiang Wan looked at Wei Ba. Wei Ba smiled and could not tell if he had any objections. However, Zhu Wu looked angry and obviously very dissatisfied with his plan just now.

"Yes." Jiang Wan nodded: "This is followed by the old system of the Prime Minister's governance of Nanzhong."

"I don't care about the old and old." Zhu Wu waved his arm hard and said loudly: "I only know that the tribes moved out of the mountains to respond to the call of the gods and be subordinates of the gods, and to fight for the gods.

It’s not the tribe of a big clan. They hid in the mountains because they didn’t want to be slaves and maids. Now that you have divided them into tribes, why should they come out of the mountain? Just return them to the mountains and settle down.

.”

"Yes, if so, we'll go back to the mountains. Although we're a little poor, we'll be free and easy." Tu Hu also stood up and shouted loudly. He pulled out his battle knife and looked around for a week: "I want me Tu Hu to be him

It's not impossible to have a part. First, ask the sword in my hand whether I agree or not. If anyone is as brave as a god, I'm happy to lead a horse and fall into stirrups for you. If not, hehe, then don't blame me

You are cruel and ruthless, so you can't see tomorrow's outing."

"That's true. We are only subordinates of the generals. Not all cats and dogs can lead us to fight." Dozens of captains stood up with a "slam". For a moment, the hall was full of swords and murderous intent.

The festive atmosphere of the New Year was swept away, as if a chill was pouring in from outside, instantly invading the muscles and bones, making people shudder.
