Three or four hundred miles from Xiangyang to Shunyang, Hu Zhong took a sailor speedboat, went upstream, and arrived at Shuanghuling in only two days and two nights.

When Hu Zhong arrived, Wei Ba had just gotten up, and he was coiled on the hillside, wearing a white robe, swaying slightly in the morning breeze, his movements were soothing and gentle, and he looked like a fairy wind and bones, and it didn't look like a bloody battlefield at all, but a hermit living in seclusion on the mountain. I haven't slept for two days, and when I saw Wei Ba like this, I felt ashamed of myself.

However, after listening to Hu Zhong relay Li Yan's meaning, Wei Ba's immortal wind bones were all gone, he stared, pulled his throat, and yelled at Hu Zhong with a white face: "You came all the way to tease me?" ”

Hu Zhong's mouth was bitter, and he pointed to the dirt on his body: "General, do you think I have been sleepless for two days and two nights, just to tease you?" ”

"That's the hussar general teasing you and me." Wei Ba roared angrily, and waved his hand: "No, whoever has the ability will go, I won't go anyway." Lao Tzu is only in his early twenties, and he hasn't lived enough yet, so he doesn't want to die. ”

After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving Hu Zhong alone. Far away, Hu Zhong can still listen to his roar: "His mother's, it's easy to bully when Lao Tzu, right?" Lao Tzu quit, go back to Jiaozhou immediately, no matter what you birds do. ”

Hu Zhong was very embarrassed, it was not to keep up, it was not to follow, he thought for a while, sighed, sat on a stone, held his chin, and looked at the Wei army camp in the distance in a daze.

After a while, Guan Feng walked over. Dai frowned slightly: "Fox joined the army, what did you say to Ziyu to make him so angry?" ”

Hu Zhong hurriedly stood up and explained the reason. Guan Feng was also a little unhappy: "The decision of the hussar general is a little inappropriate, although Zhang He is said to be pinned down in the Shouchun area, but the cavalry comes and goes like the wind, once we return to Nanyang, only with foot soldiers, how can we be the enemy?" Not to mention 10,000 or 20,000 people, even if 50,000 people enter Nanyang. It may not be able to be fully guaranteed. Although Ziyu was reactive this time. But he also made a lot of efforts, isn't it too much for the hussar general to do this? ”

Hu Zhong smiled bitterly: "Mrs. Guan, the hussar general can't help it. Now he and Cao Rui are facing off in Fancheng. Seems evenly matched. But once the Jianghuai battlefield is decided. Or the Wei army in Xuchang rushed to support, and the hussar generals could not support it. If you want to break the deadlock in front of you, you can only send strange soldiers to break into Nanyang. Someone who can take on this important task. Except for General Zhennan, who else has such courage? ”

"But it's too risky."

"The hussar general also knows about adventure, but does the lady have any other clever plan?"

Guan Feng pondered for a moment, asked Hu Zhong to take him to eat and rest, and returned to the Chinese army's tent, but saw Wei Ba lying on the desk, looking at the map in a trance. She couldn't help but be stunned: "You really want to attack Wanluo?" ”

"Do you have anything better?" Wei Ba asked rhetorically. He raised his head and looked at Guan Feng with a smile: "Do you think Li Yan would let go of this if he had a little way?" ”

"What is Li Yansong's mouth?"

"The chance of victory or defeat is all in my thoughts." Wei Ba pointed to his nose: "Do you know that for Li Yan, this is undoubtedly admitting defeat and surrendering." ”

Guan Feng thought about it and couldn't help laughing. With Li Yan's character, it is indeed not easy for him to say such things. This is equivalent to asking Wei Ba for help, the success or failure of the victory or defeat is all up to you, you take a hand and pull me.

"However, it is too dangerous to enter the plains to fight without a sufficient number of cavalry and compete with the Wei army's iron cavalry, especially against a veteran general like Zhang He."

"I know, but that doesn't stop me from taking the initiative first." Wei Ba clasped his hands together in front of his mouth, and his voice sounded a little deep. "Although Nanyang does not have many mountains, it has waterways, and if it can be used well, it may not be able to be used to block the cavalry of the Wei army. Besides, although Zhang He is good at fighting, after all, he only has 10,000 people, if I entangle him, I believe that Lu Xun and Sun Quan will not fail to seize this God-given opportunity. No matter how fast the cavalry is, can he still fly around? If I reach a tacit understanding with Neng Lu Xun and use the strategy of exhausting the army, maybe I can make Zhang He suffer a little. ”

Guan Feng couldn't cry or laugh: "Lu Xun? It's good if he doesn't take the opportunity to stab you, and you still expect him to cooperate with you? ”

"Yes, it's because they all want to kill me that I have a chance to mobilize them." Wei Ba said with a smile: "If the fish doesn't eat the bait, they won't take the bait, as long as he is greedy, he can always find a way to let him take the bait." It's just that this is a risky move, and you need to plan it well. He pinched his eyebrows, and said: "Hang Huzhong for two days first, except for eating and drinking, don't let him touch anyone." ”

Guan Feng nodded, turned around and went to make arrangements.

Wei Ba crouched on the map, his fingers slowly slicing across the map, rustling. This time, he didn't want to fight, but when the opportunity came to the door, he didn't seize it and there was no reason. What's more, he helped Li Yan to take Nanyang, compete with Zhuge Liang, and share the pressure of Jihua. If you give up like this, not only will the foreshadowing be done in vain, but you will also completely turn your face with Li Yan.

Regardless of whether Zuihou can succeed or not, at least work hard to let Li Yan see his sincerity. The result is one thing, the attitude is another.

After a while, Fa Miao hurriedly walked in, with a happy face: "General, the hussar general can't stand it?" ”

Wei Ba nodded and relayed Li Yan's meaning in detail, Fa Miao listened carefully, and occasionally interrupted. He thought for a while, and suddenly said, "No, general, Hu Zhong is a little suspicious." He misjudged the situation in Guanzhong and disrupted the hussar general's jihua, with the hussar general's temper, how could he not deal with it at all? ”

Wei Ba rolled his eyes and said quietly: "Then what do you mean?" ”

"I think there is another mystery in this matter." Fa Miao and Wei Ba exchanged a look and smiled meaningfully. "I'll have to find a chance to get to the bottom of what he's hiding."

"Of course, that's great, but the most anxious thing now is to eat Guo Li's centaurs first." Wei Ba tapped on the map: "If we want to enter Nanyang, even if there are no formed cavalry, we will need some war horses for the scouts to use in order to pass on the news." I decided to accept the war horses sent by Guo Li. ”

"It's not easy, just lure him in and beat him." Fa Miao said lightly: "When he enters the mountain, his horse's hooves will not be trapped, and the general wants a few horses, so he wants a few horses." ”

Wei Ba laughed.

……

Hu Zhong was hung by Wei Ba for two days, and he was quite calm at first, but then gradually became uneasy. Li Yan was still waiting for his reply, Wei Ba just locked him up, how could he give Li Yan an errand? In case of Li Yan's big event, Li Yan may not dare to do anything to Wei Ba, but he doesn't have so much strength to make Li Yan have anything to fear, not to mention that Li Yan has a lot of resentment against him now.

Thinking of Li Yan's appearance at that time, Hu Zhong's heart couldn't help but feel cold. When people are bored, the more they think about it, the more complicated it becomes, Hu Zhong was hung by Wei Ba for two days, thinking of a lot of tragic situations, the more he thought about it, the more scared he became, the more nervous he became, and he almost collapsed.

That's when Famiao found him.

"Uncle Zhi, you were originally here." Fa Miao slapped his thigh: "It's easy for me to find." ”

"You're looking for me, what's the matter?" Hu Zhong asked vigilantly. He and Fa Miao originally knew each other, but they were not very close, and now Fa Miao has switched to Wei Ba's disciples, although I don't know if it was his own decision, or Li Yan's instructions, Fa Miao always had a snack when he met him here.

"What else can I do, ask about the situation in Xiangyang." As if playing a trick, Fa Miao took out a flat pot from his arms, took out a bag of beans, held it with his hand, and handed it to Hu Zhong: "Come, taste, it tastes good." ”

Hu Zhong took a bean, but did not eat it.

Fa Miao was stunned for a moment, hahadaxiao: "It's worthy of being surnamed Fox, this suspicion is too serious, I'm afraid that I won't be able to take medicine?" As he spoke, he picked up two beans and threw them into his mouth, chewed them with a clatter, craned his neck again, took a sip of wine, and then wiped the spout of the pot with his sleeve, and then sent it to Hu Zhong.

Hu Zhong smiled embarrassedly, ate beans, took a sip of wine, and roughly explained the situation in Xiangyang, Zuihou said: "The strength of the two sides is similar, and no one can help anyone, but the reinforcements of the Wei army are still coming, in case Chen Qun's army arrives, or Zhang He solves the war between Jianghuai and rushes to Fancheng, we may not be able to stop it." If the hussar general wants to make meritorious contributions, he can only count on General Zhennan to criticize the false and punch Cao Rui from behind, so as to achieve great success. ”

"I see." Fa Miao pondered for a moment: "Shuzhi, I have a question, I wonder if you can solve my doubts?" ”

"You're such a smart person, still have questions?"

"I don't understand, with the eyes of the hussar general, can't he see that even if he takes all of Nanyang, he can't compare with the military exploits of the prime minister who took Longyou? Moreover, he attacked Nanyang and took the greatest pressure on the Wei army, but it created an opportunity for the prime minister. Don't tell me, this is the hussar general thinking about the overall situation and taking the initiative to share the worries of the prime minister. ”

Hu Zhong's eyebrows twitched involuntarily. He bit his lip and didn't speak for a long time, Zuihou sighed faintly.

"It's because I have no eyes and I missed the general."

"Just a mistake?" Fa Miao looked at Hu Zhong with concern, with a sincere face.

Hu Zhong nodded vigorously.

Fa Miao was silent for a moment: "You have followed the hussar general for so many years, and you have won the trust of the general, and you have made such a big mistake, although you shouldn't, but the general will definitely not miss the old feelings." He stuffed the pot of wine to Hu Zhong, who craned his neck and took a big sip. Fa Miao continued: "The matter has come to this, and it seems that General Zhennan has to do his best. But, Shuzhi, I'll tell you the truth, General Zhennan really didn't plan to compete with the hussar general this time, the little force he had on hand was far from enough, you see, can you help him say a few kind words in front of the hussar general? ”

"What do you want me to say?" Hu Zhong looked at Fa Miao self-deprecatingly: "If the hussar general has extra troops, will he not use it himself?" If you want it, can I count me as one? ”

Fa Miao didn't smile: "Shuzhi, you forgot someone, he hasn't moved his nest in Hanzhong." ”

Hu Zhong was stunned: "Wu Yi? ”

Fa Miao smiled and nodded...... (To be continued......)
