Chapter 156: Gathering of Storms and Clouds (Ask for recommendations, ask for monthly passes!) )
"Why wait until now?"
"Because I believe that after watching it for so many days, the girl must have some new insights to tell General Anzai." Wei Ba naturally sat down on the seat: "Besides, it will be a month since our army entered Guanzhong, and I think that with such a long time, he must be able to weigh the situation in front of him, and there will be no more reckless thoughts of repaying the king with death." At this time, persuasion is more effective than a month ago. He smiled: "What's more, if he doesn't want to surrender, I won't force it, I can let you go, such a haode thing, I don't think he should refuse, right?" ”
Xiahou Hui thought thoughtfully: "So you've been waiting?" ”
"Yes, first, I will give General Anthy a decent retreat, and second, I will wait for reinforcements. It's been almost a month now, and the reinforcements have basically been assembled, and you can see how strong my strength is, if he doesn't sacrifice the city again, don't blame me for being unkind. ”
Xiahou Hui frowned slightly: "Your strength has indeed grown rapidly, but it is not enough to capture Chang'an City." ”
Wei Ba chuckled lightly and looked at his hands with some narcissism: "Miss Xiahou, it's the same as playing mahjong, how can I let you see all my hole cards?" But there is one thing I can tell you very clearly, with my current strength, I can definitely win Chang'an. Not because of anything else, just because of the person in Chang'an City, you have to admit that he is really not a good candidate to be a general. ”
He smiled and said very calmly: "I won't tell you the truth, this Meridian Valley Jihua set by my father and son is specifically aimed at him. ”
Xiahou Hui sighed helplessly, Wei Ba was right, Xiahou Mao was the biggest weakness in Guanzhong, and Wei Ba's Meridian Valley Jihua was set up for Xiahou Mao everywhere. Besieging but not attacking, to force Xiahou Mao to sacrifice the city, is also Wei Ba's consistent method out of the same line of thought.
"I'll write it."
Wei Ba nodded. Order the person to bring a pen and paper. Xiahou Hui held the pen in his hand, thought for a while, and then wrote unhurriedly. After writing. She handed it to Wei Ba with both hands, and Wei Ba nodded again and again while looking at it: "The girl is really smart, she is so beautiful, every sentence is like what I think in my heart." This sentence ......" Wei Ba suddenly stopped. He pondered for a moment: "Don't want this sentence, delete it." ”
The corners of Xiahou Hui's mouth twitched slightly, and he said sarcastically: "Wei Jun has compassion even for me, an enemy. Is there no pity for Miss Peng at all, or is it afraid that if I remind my uncle, Miss Peng will suffer more? ”
Wei Ba frowned, and glared at Xiahou Hui with some annoyance: "Girl, please find out your identity, I said that you can write, you can write." I said I couldn't write it, so you honestly deleted it for me, where did you get so many words? ”
Xiahou Hui took back the letter, didn't look at Wei Ba, and sat back behind the bookcase. I wrote a new copy and handed it to Wei Ba again. Wei Bayu was still angry, and looked at it indignantly, then nodded in agreement, sealed it, and added mud.
"Let Xu Ran deliver the letter." Xiahou Hui suddenly said: "My uncle will believe him." ”
"Xu Ran?" Wei Ba remembered the honest lieutenant who used to be under him, and felt that he was quite suitable, as an officer of the guard battalion, Xiahou Mao must have trusted him, and he was captured in order to cover Xiahou Mao's escape, and he returned a life-saving grace to Xiahou Mao, and he had to give some face. He was just about to nod his head in agreement, but he inadvertently glanced at Xiahou Hui, and saw that although her expression was calm, the hand in her sleeve was trembling involuntarily, and suddenly realized something, he couldn't help laughing, and shook his head: "It doesn't matter who delivers the letter, the girl's calligraphy is unique, I believe General Xiahou will not fail to recognize it." ”
Xiahou Hui didn't speak, but there was obviously more disappointment in his eyes. Wei Ba didn't pay much attention to Xu Ran, but she knew Xu Ran better, and knew that this general who didn't seem to talk much was actually quite scheming, if he was allowed to enter Chang'an City, Wei Ba's dream of winning without a fight would go bankrupt. And Wei Ba refused to let Xu Ran deliver the letter, and her dream went bankrupt.
Wei Ba took Xiahou Hui to write a haode letter and returned to his residence, and when he saw Zhao Yun sitting in the house, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. Although Zhao Yun is old, he is in good health, he has been living with the recruits these days, and he rarely comes to the accommodation arranged for him, and it is even more rare to come back so early.
"Master, tired?" Wei Ba said as he stepped forward, poured a glass of water for Zhao Yun, and offered it with both hands.
"Tired, not tired." Zhao Yun took the water and glanced at the letter in Wei Ba's hand: "Persuaded to surrender?" ”
"Well, I just asked Miss Xiahou to write it, and I will send someone to send it in immediately."
"How many days are left until a month?"
"If you escape from Xiahou Mao from Yiwu, there will be one more day, and if you count from his entry into Chang'an, there will be three days."
"What if he doesn't come down in three days?"
"Not down?" Wei Ba pondered for a moment: "If you don't surrender, you will only attack." ”
"Wouldn't that be a waste of three days?"
Wei Ba heard that Zhao Yun's voice was wrong, and suddenly became nervous: "Cao Wei's reinforcements have arrived?" ”
Zhao Yun nodded. He has been training cavalry these days, and the cavalry doubles as scouts, as far as Tongguan and Pubanjin. If Cao Wei had reinforcements coming, he would certainly be the first to know.
"Cao Zhen led 20,000 foot cavalry, and he has arrived outside Tongguan City." Zhao Yun took a sip of water, and a trace of worry appeared on his face. "He came too quickly, more than we expected, I'm worried that he is a suspicious soldier in Tongguan, the real main force is in Pubanjin, your father only has 10,000 people, he can't take care of everything, we have to solve Chang'an as soon as possible and rush to support."
Wei Ba frowned in contemplation. One of the prerequisites for the original plan with Zhuge Liang was for Sun Quan in the southeast to launch an attack on Cao Wei to attract Cao Wei's main force and give them enough buffer time. It's just that at that time, it was based on the premise that Zhuge Liang's main force entered Guanzhong, and now Zhuge Liang has changed his hexagram, there are only more than 20,000 people left in Guanzhong, and the troops are seriously insufficient, and Cao Wei came a little too fast, and the defense line of Tongguan and Wuguan is facing the danger of being broken through by the Wei army - since Cao Zhen is here, Sima Yi is afraid that he will arrive soon.
He doesn't have much time, if Xiahou Mao is willing to surrender, of course it is a good thing, but if Xiahou Mao is unwilling to surrender, Zuihou still wants to storm Chang'an, it is better to do it as soon as possible.
Three days is not long to say, and short is not short.
"I still want to wait." Wei Ba thought for a long time, but still shook his head: "Although Weiyang Palace and Jianzhang Palace have been abandoned for a long time, they are still strong, and it is not easy to attack, and it is the best thing to win without a fight." ”
"What if he refuses to surrender?"
"In case he refuses to surrender, I will leave the cavalry battalion to monitor him and transfer the main force to Kasakatsu for reinforcements."
Zhao Yun looked at Wei Ba for a moment: "That's fine, being able to win Chang'an means a lot to us, and it's worth giving it a try." ”
"Then in the next two days, I have to trouble Master to be careful, send more cavalry to find out the news, and don't let Cao Zhen take advantage of the loophole."
Zhao Yun smiled: "I know, I won't let Cao Zhen take advantage of my loopholes." ”
Wei Ba also smiled, Zhao Yun is a veteran who is known for his caution, no matter how cunning Cao Zhen is, it is really not easy to take advantage of his loopholes. He laughed twice, then put away his smile again, and his mood was still a little heavy when he thought that Cao Zhen came so quickly. In the face of Cao Wei's upcoming counterattack, the troops at hand are seriously insufficient, and it will take some time for the more than 10,000 people who have just been recruited to form real combat power, and they will be hastily pulled into the battlefield, and the casualties will be very large, which is very unfavorable to winning the hearts and minds of the people behind.
Wei Ba told Zhao Yun about his worries. Zhao Yun thought for a while: "Wuguan Dao, I don't think the problem will be too big. First, Sima Yi rushed back from Yangzhou, traveled a long distance, and his physical strength was insufficient, so it was difficult to launch a fierce attack immediately. The second is that after the war in the southeast is over, Lu Xun will also return to Wuchang, Sima Yi can't help but prevent them from taking advantage of the situation, plus Meng Da and others in Fangling, he also has to keep a hand, so he will not go all out, and it will not be much dangerous to defend the city with Deng Zhi's 5,000 people. We still have to focus on guarding against Tongguan and Pubanjin, and Cao Wei's main force should still be in this direction. ”
"Master is reasonable, but Sima Yi should not be underestimated, don't look at him as a scholar, he can play this kind of dangerous thing of fighting for his life." Wei Ba stared at Zhao Yun's eyes: "Master, can you help me think about it, what other reinforcements are available?" ”
The corners of Zhao Yun's mouth crooked: "The fastest, of course, is to ask the prime minister for help, and ask him to send 20,000 people to take advantage of the boat to go down the Weishui, and he can reach Tongguan in ten days." But I don't think you do. ”
Wei Ba smiled innocently, he really didn't want to do this unless he had to. What's more, he just wants to do this, it depends on whether Zhuge Liang is willing to save him.
"There is another way, which is to transfer troops from Hanzhong." Zhao Yun said halfway, then lowered his head to drink water, and never said anything more. He said it clearly, but Wei Ba heard it clearly, and couldn't help but laugh.
What soldiers are there in Hanzhong? Of course, it was Wu Yi's army of 20,000. Wu Yi is a relative, and his sister is the queen mother, but now she is just a rebellious general, and she was sealed when Liu Bei was alive. In this dispatch, he was regarded as a reserve again, can he have no opinion on Zhuge Liang?
However, it is definitely not easy to move Wu Yi to reinforce Guanzhong. This is an old fritter from Liu Zhang's era to Zhuge Liang's era, if you don't have a perfect certainty, he won't follow you to take risks. Although the current situation is a little worse, it is better than losing your head. offended Zhuge Liang, even the queen mother couldn't protect him.
"Master, how can you adjust the people and horses in this Hanzhong?" Wei Ba said to Zhao Yun.
"It's not simple, of course it's adjusted by the prime minister's order." Zhao Yun looked at Wei Ba with a smile: "Ziyu, don't look at me like this, I'm not good at these things." ”
"Master, you are deliberately clearing yourself!" Wei Ba was a little anxious, "Don't forget, we are now grasshoppers tied to a rope." ”
"Don't say that, I didn't do anything out of the ordinary." Zhao Yun said calmly: "Or should I say so, we ...... We didn't do anything out of the ordinary, we are here, all on the orders of the Prime Minister. Ziyu, don't you say? ”
Wei Ba was speechless, Jiang was still old and spicy, and it was too difficult to tie Zhao Yun to his chariot.
