Chapter 877: Sound East Strikes West
Gongsun Xiu smiled politely and disagreed.
No matter how strong the warship is, you still go ashore to fight. In the sea, you are invincible in the world, and when you go ashore, you are still the leader of the Wei army. Before the rise of Wei Ba, Wu Guoshui had an absolute overwhelming advantage, but could he cross the Huai River?
Taking a step back, even if you have the strength to attack Yingzhou, you can only attack suddenly, and if there is a battle yet, you will first expose the battle to the opponent. If it's not you bluffing and trying to intimidate us, it's that you're too self-righteous. Is such a stupid person still worthy of our cooperation?
Gongsun said goodbye to Wei Xing, returned to the palace, reported the incident to Gongsun Yuan, and then came to a conclusion: it is wise to accept the canonization of Wei, Shu Han is powerless to threaten Liaodong in the short term, and compared to it, the threat of Wei is greater.
Gongsun Yuan agreed with Gongsun Xiu's opinion, but he still couldn't let go. The reckless words of the pipe are like a ghost, and they have been haunting his heart. Guan Lu is known for his godly appearance, and his assertion is so certain, can it be a mess? Moreover, Shu Han suddenly rose to strength, and it only took five or six years to grasp the initiative, which is clearly the rhythm of dominating the world. Wei Ba fought in the south and the north, and became famous as a teenager, and it was possible to be a little frivolous, but what kind of characters are Zhuge Liang and Li Yan, can they be so careless?
Gongsun Yuan decided to delay for a while, and although he did not agree to be a vassal to Shu Han, he did not refuse. He said to Wei Xing, I am a vassal to Cao Wei, but there is no way, who let me get too close to him. Although the prestige of the Han Dynasty is strong, it has not affected Liaodong for the time being. I had to wait a little longer. Of course, if Wei Cheqi needs a war horse or a special product from Liaodong, I will definitely give it up.
Wei Xing didn't say anything, took Gongsun Yuan's letter and gifts, and left Xiangping.
As soon as Wei Xing's ship was off shore, Gongsun Yuan's envoy rushed to Luoyang with a secret letter.
……
Sima Shi hurriedly walked into the atrium, Sima Yi, who was dancing the sword, glanced at him, slowly put away the sword, put the sword back into the sheath, and handed it to Sima Shi. While wiping sweat. While asking, "What's so tense?" ”
"Liaodong Urgent." Sima Shi held the sword in his arms and concisely said the news sent by Gongsun Yuan.
Sima Yi's gray eyebrows were lightly raised, and he pondered for a moment: "Ziyuan, what do you think of this matter?" ”
Sima Shi smiled lightly: "Father." I think this is Wei Ba's plan to attack the west. ”
Sima Yi blinked. Raise your hand. Gently stroking his brows: "What's the plan?" ”
"Wei Ba's warships are indeed very strong, but the ability of land warfare may not be much improved. His strongest pawns came from Jingzhou and Jiaozhou, thousands of miles away from Qingzhou. How many people are willing to leave their homes and fight thousands of miles? Therefore, there are only 10,000 sailors he brought to Guangling, and these 10,000 people alone are not enough to land in Qingzhou, and he must also recruit new soldiers in Wu, that is to say, his main force will be Wu people. ”
"Can the Wu people fight for him with all their might?" Sima Shi laughed disdainfully: "If he wants to establish a liliang that obeys his orders, he can't do it in a year, so he is destined to only bluff and attract our attention." The one who can really pose a threat to us is probably Lu Xun. ”
Sima Yi was silent and listened.
"Wei Yan left Guanzhong and took a lot of cavalry with him, Li Yan first arrived in Guanzhong, and it took a while to solve the problems left by Zhuge Liang after leaving, and Zhuge Liang fought for many years, and the accumulation of reserves in Guanzhong was limited, Li Yan not only did not have the ability to take the initiative to attack, but also had problems with self-protection. In order to prevent our army from attacking Guanzhong, let Lu Xun send troops to attack Yanzhou in order to contain our army, which became their best choice. Lu Xun is good at fighting, and Wei Yan and Chen Zhi help each other, once we break through into Yanzhou, we are likely to lose Luoyang. ”
Therefore, judging from all the conditions, Wei Ba's troubles in the East China Sea were also to deal with Lu Xun, and the ultimate goal was to protect Guanzhong. This so-called plan to sound the east and attack the west is also. ”
"Brother, you're right, but don't forget, Wei Ba is a person who is good at creating miracles." Sima Zhao sat in a wheelchair and turned out of the side yard. After more than half a month of recuperation, his face regained its roundness, but the indifference in his eyes could no longer dissipate.
Sima Yi glanced at Sima Zhao and said nothing. Sima Shi laughed: "Why, he can fly flat on the ground?" ”
"I don't know if he can fly flat on the ground, but I know that if he advances by land and water, Qingzhou will be uneasy, but it is also predictable."
"Just his more than 10,000 people?" Sima Shi sneered: "If you can't even deal with this person, then Wang Ling should also kill himself with his sword." ”
Sima Zhao gently patted the armrest of the wheelchair: "Brother, Wei Ba is elusive, he will make Wang Ling tired." Even if he doesn't go ashore, the situation in Qingzhou will be tense, and it will be very unfavorable to my Great Wei. Don't forget, Qingzhou clothes are all over the world, and in the case of Yanyu uneasy, Qingzhou has become the largest source of wealth outside Jizhou. ”
Sima Shi was speechless, he looked at Sima Zhao, then at Sima Yi, and suddenly laughed: "Father, the son's thoughts are becoming more and more meticulous. I didn't expect that. ”
"My brother is busy every day, and I am idle every day, so of course I have more time to dream." Sima Zhao said with a smile.
Sima Shi walked behind Sima Zhao, rested his hand on his shoulder, and patted him gently: "Zishang, don't be too pessimistic, outwitted the world, and you are also a hero." With your help, my father will be much easier, don't you see that he has a lot of time to practice swords now, this is all thanks to you. ”
Sima Zhao smiled and patted Sima Shi's hand with his backhand, but his eyes fell on Sima Yi's face. Sima Yi thought for a moment, nodded and said, "You two are right, I also think that Wei Ba's intention is to deal with Lu Xun and contain our army, so as to make sure that everything is perfect." However, Wei Ba is cunning, and fiction may turn into reality, so he can't be taken lightly. Qingzhou is a place of national wealth, and it is not necessary to miss it, and it should send elite soldiers to support. Wang Ling has no experience in fighting Wei Ba, and I am worried that he is not Wei Ba's opponent. ”
He raised his head and looked at Senior Brother Sima: "What do you think of Tian Yu?" ”
The two Sima brothers said in unison: "Father, this person is very suitable. ”
Sima Yi immediately reported to Cao Rui, the son of heaven, and after Cao Rui thought about it, he also felt that Tian Yu was very suitable. Tian Yu has experience in riding horses, which can just make up for the shortcomings of Wang Ling's cavalry, and facilitate the return of aid, and the cooperation of the two should be able to hold Qingzhou, so that Wei Ba has nowhere to go. With Tian Yu in Qingzhou, Sima Yi and Zhang He can hold heavy troops and be ready to go to Guanzhong at any time and wait for an opportunity to recapture Guanzhong.
The edict was soon sent to Qingzhou and Bingzhou.
……
After listening to Wei Xing's report, Wei Ba nodded with satisfaction, and let Wei Xing go down to rest.
Wei Xing walked out of the big tent and saw the shy Nanhu head-on, Wei Xing was overjoyed, took Nanhu's hand and said, "Why are you here?" ”
Nanhu blushed and squeaked and didn't speak. Wei Xing smiled, regardless of what others were watching, he hugged Nanhu's shoulders and said affectionately: "What about Madam, who will take care of her when you are away, Dunwu's mother-in-law?" ”
"Is there still one less person around Madame?" Nanhu glanced at Wei Xing: "Madame is pregnant with her second child." ”
Wei Xing blinked his eyes and smiled: "Then we have to hurry up, otherwise who will protect the little young master in the future." ”
Inside the big tent, Wei Ba leaned back in his chair, his eyes staring at the map opposite, one hand propped up, and his fingers slowly rubbed on the beard on his lips. Fa Miao put his hands behind his back and slowly paced in the account, frowning slightly, thinking nervously.
"General, I think we have to focus on the sea route, the progress of the land route is too slow, and we have no advantage at all." Fa Miao raised his head, and there was a fierce look in his eyes. "If you break into Qingzhou by sea and occupy a place, with the superiority of our army's armament, there should be no problem in holding one or two cities."
Wei Ba smiled: "But have you thought about it, once we land and fight, we can't easily withdraw, otherwise it will inevitably damage morale." It is true that the sea route is true, but we must not be trapped by them, and we must take the initiative into our own hands, so that we can control people and not control people. ”
"But if you don't land, you will always be adrift at sea, which is not a long-term solution after all."
"Therefore, it is best for us to find an island, large enough for us to station our troops, and to avoid being attacked by the Wei army."
"Then we'll have to wait until the scouts who scout the terrain come back."
"How did you forget that there's a ready-made person who knows the terrain over there?"
Fa Miao blinked, patted his head, and said with a smile: "The general didn't say it, I really forgot about it." ”
Before the words fell, Elfang and Elwei uncles and nephews opened the tent and bowed to Wei Ba. Wei Ba got up and returned the salute, invited them to take a seat, and said to Elfang with a smile: "The general has been away from his hometown for many years, but do you still remember the terroir of his hometown?" ”
Elfang sighed: "I often return to my hometown in my dreams, with grass and trees, vaguely in my eyes." ”
"Does the general know that there are no big islands in this area that can supply more than 10,000 troops to be stationed and a good harbor for warships to anchor?"
Elfang thought for a moment: "Yes, and there are a lot. ”
Wei Ba and Fa Miao glanced at each other and smiled in unison.
"General, I will give you two ships and 3,000 sailors, and in two months, you can choose two or three islands for me to serve as a transit base for my army's expedition. Zhuge Zhi is your deputy and is responsible for your safety. ”
Elfang was overjoyed and hurriedly got up and saluted. He pitted Guan Yu a lot back then, Wei Ba didn't remember the past grudges, and even let him be a striker, which was an unexpected joy.
"Please rest assured that Fang will definitely go to the soup and fire, and he will not hesitate."
"Zilie, you are also with you, but your task is to do business with Liaodong, Qingzhou, and Jizhou. Wealth moves people's hearts, and we use our export advantages to attract those who are rich, and those who do not obey will crush their industries and suck their blood dry. ”
Elk Wei smiled slightly: "Huh." ”…… (To be continued......)
