Ding Feng has been by Wei Ba's side for more than a month, Wei Ba has observed him for a long time, and knows that this person is not good at words, but he is actually a very proud person. He came from an average background and didn't have much knowledge, but he had superb martial arts skills and wanted to get ahead with his military exploits.

In Wei Ba's original impression, Gan Ning was a well-known fierce general in Jiangdong, and he had at least two or three thousand people under his command to be worthy of his identity. But later learned from Ding Feng's mouth that in fact, Gan Ning's career in Jiangdong has not been smooth, and his subordinates are usually only three or five hundred, that is, the size of a captain, until the twenty-first year of Jian'an, he robbed Cao Ying with more than 100 people, so that Sun Quan relieved the shadow of Xiaoyaojin, and Sun Quan gave him 2,000 soldiers, which is consistent with his identity as a general.

It can be said that Gan Ning's career is very bumpy, which is related to his lack of reading and lack of knowledge, and also related to his lack of foundation. Like the Shu State, the Wu State also has many factions, the most valuable is of course the Sun clan, then the group of Yuan Cong Lao ministers who followed Sun Jian and Sun Ce to fight, then the Jiangdong family, and then some lonely outsiders like Gan Ning. With the passage of time, the old ministers gradually passed away, and the indigenous people of Jiangdong rose. In the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an, Lü Meng died, and in the first year of Huanglong, Lu Xun succeeded him as the governor of Dadu, marking the fall of military power into the hands of Jiangdong people; In the fourth year of Huanglong, Prime Minister Sun Shao died, Gu Yong succeeded him, and the head of civil officials was also taken over by the Jiangdong family. The Jiangdong family occupies an increasingly important position, and it is becoming more and more difficult for people like Gan Ning to gain a foothold.

Ding Feng is a native of Lujiang and has nothing to do with the Jiangdong family, although he is very brave in every battle, but it has always been difficult to be promoted. He is now a lieutenant, but he only has some old troops that he brought out from his hometown, but there are only dozens of people, and Sun Quan has never given him a soldier.

Unlike Wei Shu. If the warriors of Jiangdong do not give troops, no matter how high their official positions are, they will not be able to explain the problem. The so-called military granting. It is officially recognized as a private soldier, who not only undertakes tasks such as guarding and trapping in battle, but also undertakes various miscellaneous duties in peacetime, which is a real private property. It is fundamentally different from the subordinates who are temporarily allocated in wartime.

For example, Lu Xun, he can now command forty or fifty thousand people, maybe even more than 100,000 people. But there are only more than 10,000 private soldiers who really belong to him, and they are the elite he has accumulated over the years of clearing and suppressing Shanyue. These more than 10,000 private soldiers can represent his identity better than those auxiliary generals.

For the warriors of the Wu State, without a strong private army, no matter how high the official position is, it is empty. Ding Feng took the lead in every battle, but when it came to dividing the spoils, he always came back in line. After more than ten years of hard fighting, he is just a captain. He left Soochow and came to Wei Ba's side, the main reason was of course the bell, but there was no hopeless reason for his career in Soochow.

Therefore, Ding Feng not only left Jiangdong by himself. also called his younger brother Ding Feng over, and the brothers are now Wei Ba's personal guards. Since he pinned his hopes on Wei Ba, of course there would be no water in what he said. If there is a mistake, it is only because his identity is not enough, and the information he knows is not prepared enough, and there is no subjective deception.

It is precisely because of this that Wei Ba will believe Ding Feng, keep him by his side, and ask him these things.

Wei Ba inquired about the relevant details again, but saw that he couldn't ask too many things, so he gave up. Thinking that Sun was in Lu Xun's army, Wei Ba's almost rigid thinking slowly spread again.

Two days later, Wei Ba arrived in Fancheng and went ashore, and Wu Yi immediately sent someone to invite him. When Wei Ba entered the account, Wu Yi and Meng Da sat opposite each other, looking at the map on the case and worried. As soon as he saw Wei Ba enter the tent, without waiting for him to come forward and salute, Wu Yi beckoned: "Ziyu, those vulgar etiquette are exempt, come and see how to break the situation." If we drag it out any longer, we won't be able to hold it out. ”

Wei Ba smiled, sat down under Wu Yi, and asked while arranging the hem of his clothes, "Is it because Sima Yi is unwilling to come?" ”

"Not really." Wu Yi smiled bitterly: "Deng Xian only has a thousand people, but he can guard Deng Sai for so long, this is obviously Sima Yi's refusal to come, otherwise where would he wait until now." If he refuses to come, our ambush Jihua will fail, your brother and they have been in ambush in the mountains and forests for more than ten days, and if they wait, how can the soldiers stand it? ”

Wei Ba nodded slightly. Wu Yi and Meng Da are both human spirits, and they obviously also see Sima Yi's intentions.

"What if we take the initiative to attack Fancheng?"

"Is it a real attack or a fake attack?" Meng Da asked.

Wei Ba pondered for a moment: "True and false." ”

Meng Da raised his eyebrows: "Ziyu, you make it clear." ”

Wei Ba nodded, leaned in front of the map, and drew a line along the Han River with his finger: "This is true." Then he nodded on Fan Cheng: "This is a half-truth." ”

Meng Da stroked his beard and thought for a moment. "What does Ziyu mean is to cut off the Han River first, turn Xiangyang into a lonely city, lure Lu Xun to make a move, and then use the momentum of the Wu army to force Sima Yi to come?"

Wei Ba raised his thumb: "General Meng is really a person who knows the army, I have been thinking about the method for a few days, and General Meng understands it at once." ”

Meng Da pursed his lips, snorted, and said half-truthfully: "Boy, you don't come to praise me." General Wu and I have thought about this method for a long time, but if you don't come, we don't have enough chance of winning with these three building ships alone. He exchanged a look with Wu Yi, and then said, "Ziyu, did you really decide to do this?" In this way, when Sima Yi comes, we will bear the brunt, but Lu Xun may not immediately attack Xiangyang. ”

"That's the case, and I have to give it a try." Wei Ba said: "Cutting off the Han River and dividing Xiangyang and Fancheng is not only to turn Xiangyang into an isolated city and lure Lu Xun and Sima Yi to come, but also has another meaning. ”

Wu Yi and Meng Da exchanged a look, and couldn't help but say in unison: "There is another meaning?" ”

"Yes, we want to use this operation to demonstrate our army's water warfare capabilities and force the Wu people to make up their minds and ally with us."

Wei Ba then explained his intentions. The reason why Wu dared to blatantly slack off the war was because they were not afraid of defeating the alliance. The defeat of the alliance hurt Shu Han more than it hurt Wu State, so they decided that Shu Han could not do anything to them, and could only swallow their treachery. If the strength of Shu Han's sailors is enough to shake the advantage of Wu, then they will re-evaluate the weight of Shu Han's ally, and they will be somewhat restrained, and the implementation of the covenant will be increased accordingly.

Wei Ba explained his intentions, and there was a deeper meaning that was not explained. He believed that Lu Xun might be indifferent. But Sun Quan will not sit idly by, he will definitely exert force on Lu Xun through Sun Xuan. There is always a limit to the trust between monarchs and ministers, and he just wants to constantly knock on the relationship between Sun Quan and Lu Xun. Even if it's a crack between them that can't be seen, it's worth it.

What's more, he didn't believe that Sun Quan and Lu Xun were monolithic.

Cut off the Han water and show the liliang of the Shu Han water division. Just a prelude, just an introduction. And to do this step is not a difficult task for the current Shu Han Sailors. The Wei army naval division after two defeats. The vast majority of the warships and troops have been lost, and only two or three thousand remnants are left to guard the pontoon bridge. What Wei Ba wanted to solve was the 5,000-foot cavalry led by Xiahou Ba and Jin Dongliu, which was the most threatening Liliang.

This is also what he needs Wu Yi and Meng Da to do.

After listening to Wei Ba's jihua, although Wu Yi and Meng Da were not sure that this method would work, they had no more way, so they had to take one step at a time. Regardless of whether Zuihou wants to storm Fancheng or not. The occupation of pontoon bridges is a must.

The plan was decided, Wu Yi immediately deployed, and the three of them discussed some details together, as well as made some contingency preparations, and it didn't really end until midnight. Wei Ba was a little tired. Just about to go back to the tent to rest, Wu Yi patted his head and smiled embarrassedly: "Ziyu, there is one thing I forgot to tell you." ”

Wei Ba yawned and said weakly: "General, what's the matter?" ”

"Someone from Wei is here, and I want to see you by name." Wu Yi smiled, stepped forward and hugged Wei Ba's shoulder: "Cao Rui, that kid sent Xiahou Xuan, I think that means, probably I want to be close to you and officially marry Xiahou girl to you." ”

"Xiahou Xuan?" Wei Ba didn't react for a while, and after a while he remembered that it was Xiahou Hui's brother. He sighed, didn't say anything, turned around and was about to leave, Wu Yi grabbed him. Wei Ba was puzzled, "General ......"

"You're usually smart, why are you confused now?" Wu Yi said angrily and funny: "Can't you smell it?" ”

Wei Ba looked dazed: "What taste?" ”

"It smacks of conspiracy, of course." Wu Yi looked at Wei Ba in surprise: "You can't really be fascinated by beauty, right?" Such an obvious problem, the old man reminded it to this extent, why don't you understand? ”

Wei Ba saw that Wu Yi was cautious, so he became solemn. It's just that he has used his brain too much these days, and just now he discussed the military situation with Wu Yi and them in the middle of the night, and now his brain is a mess, and he really can't think of any problems here. And kiss or something, isn't it just to give Xiahou Hui a name? Anyway, she's all my person, what's the difference between it and the one who doesn't get along?

Seeing that Wei Ba was still a little ignorant, Wu Yi sighed: "You kid is really smart, and he was confused for a while. Your father was the general of Zhenbei and the governor of Guanzhong, and he was on the front line of the war against Cao Wei for several years. You and Cao Wei are close to each other, what will the prime minister think, what will the ministers of the court say, and what will Bixia do? ”

Wei Ba suddenly realized.

Seeing that Wei Ba understood, Wu Yi breathed a sigh of relief. He patted Wei Ba's back: "Ziyu, don't blame the old man for not reminding you." Miss Xiahou is yours anyway, you can't miss a big deal because you pity her. I have already controlled Xiahou Xuan, when you see him, you should be careful when you speak. Of course, it is not feasible to be friendly, but there is no need to talk to death. Back then, Guan Hou rejected Sun Quan's proposal, of course, out of loyalty, but that was not appropriate after all, you can't learn from him. He pointed to the sky with his finger: "This difficult problem is done by someone who can make decisions, don't you overstep your authority, understand?" ”

Wei Ba laughed, turned around, and gave Wu Yi a deep look. "Thank you, General, for reminding me."

"Haha......" Wu Yi stroked his beard daxiao.
