Chapter 805: Brave and Fierce (Second Update)
Sun Deng was also confused. What happened on the south bank of Liushui also happened on the south bank of Zishui.
Overnight, more than 30,000 Shu Han troops withdrew without a trace. Zhang Cheng sent scouts to investigate across the water, only to find that the Shu Han army was retreating, they had withdrawn for thirty miles, and it seemed that they would continue to retreat.
Sun Deng didn't know what was going on, could it be that the negotiations had a result? It shouldn't be. If there is a result, it is impossible for my father not to inform me. Wei Ba doesn't want to fight? This is even more unrealistic, since Wei Ba's debut, when has he ever been soft?
Just when Sun Deng was puzzled, he received a letter from Deng Yang. Deng Yang said that the test has ended, thanks to your understanding, we have not had a conflict, thank you very much. I hope that this negotiation can be as smooth as this trial, Han and Wu will always protect the alliance, share the world, and keep the peace forever.
Sun Deng will be skeptical. Immediately afterwards, he received a letter from Zhuge Ke, knowing that the same thing had happened in Linxiang, Wei Ba's main force had withdrawn, and only 10,000 people were still stationed in the south of Liushui.
Sun Deng and Zhang Cheng discussed, and the two couldn't guess the truth. Before getting more information, they couldn't make more judgments, so they could only brake quietly and guard the city to avoid being attacked by Wei Ba. Other than that, all they can do is wait, wait for further news, wait for the outcome of the negotiations in Wuchang.
On the night of September 30, neither Sun Deng nor Zhang Cheng could sleep. The two were dressed neatly, and Zhang Cheng put on his armor and came to bid farewell to Sun Deng. So far, they have not received the results of the negotiations in Wuchang, according to Wei Ba before. If you don't get the result before the child, it will be like a declaration of war. Although Wei Ba had now withdrawn thirty miles, Zhang Cheng still did not dare to slack off, and he ordered all the soldiers to stay on the back of their hands in case of contingencies. As the main general, of course, he has to be in command, and Sun Deng, as the crown prince, must also wait for the results in Yiyang City.
War or peace, the result will be revealed in this night. Whether it is Zhang Cheng or Sun Deng, the mood is extremely nervous.
……
Xinyang.
In the darkness of the night. From time to time, the sound of horses' hooves rumbled. A group of figures rushed out of the darkness and stopped in front of the camp to check the seal and the password. After confirming your identity. Walk into camp.
On the lobby of the prefectural temple. More than a dozen generals sat quietly, no one spoke loudly, and some familiar people whispered together. More people sit quietly. Outside the door, I kept thinking of the sound of hurried footsteps, and one by one the generals walked in and found a place to sit down.
Fa Miao sat aside, looking at the official document in his hand, and only when someone came in would he raise his eyelids to look at it, nod his head, and then return his gaze to the official document.
From the time of unitary, he sat like this until the lamp was on.
When Jin Dongliu walked in with steady steps, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Fa Miao's mouth, closed the official document in his hand, stood up, and arched his hand: "Everyone, everyone is here, I'm going to invite the god general." ”
All of them are senior generals from the three counties of Jingzhou, and two-thirds of them were born in Wuling, Wuximan, among which there are many tribal leaders like Feihu and Hanru, and the big man sitting in the front is now Heisha, the barbarian king of Wuximan, and he is also one of the two major guards around Wei Ba. Most of the others were also leaders of barbarian tribes such as Lingling and Guiyang, who only later entered Wei Ba's command. For them, the name of General Zhennan is far less than that of the God General, and when they heard Fa Miao say that they were going to invite the God General, everyone said in unison: "Respectfully please the God General." ”
Fa Miao entered, and after a moment, Wei Ba walked out from behind. With a smile on his lips, he looked around, his gentle but majestic gaze sweeping over everyone's faces. The people he saw unconsciously straightened their waists. Wei Ba entered Jingzhou for three or four years, and the people of the three counties of Wuling were much better than before, at least they no longer had to bear the conscription and exploitation of Wu State, and Wei Ba was also conscripted for military service, but it was very clear that men of appropriate age only served as soldiers for three years, and after three years, they were transferred to the reserve. Wei Ba fulfilled his promise, and even when he attacked Nanyang, Wei Ba did not levy a large number of military service.
Under Wei Ba's rule, it may be too far from the prosperous era, and it is not enough for everyone to have enough food and clothing, but most people's food and clothing can basically be solved, and it is not easy to do this in this troubled world. With the influx of immigrants from the Central Plains and Guanzhong regions, the popularization of new rice varieties, and the opening of cotton sales, the people of the three counties of Jingzhou are still very grateful for the kindness of Wei Shenjiang. Being able to lead troops to fight under the command of General Wei is also the glory of these rough and straight men.
"Ladies and gentlemen, as I said, there is no urgency, no reserve is called up to fight. This time, it's still the same, but I need you to help me build my momentum. Wei Ba coughed and said gently. Although he didn't have angry eyebrows, no one dared to be presumptuous, and looked at him intently.
"God will, I'm sure this may not be good news." Flying Fox stood up, arched his hand, looked at the other generals, and said with a smile: "Many warriors can wait for the order of the god general, and they want to charge into battle for the god general and capture the flag." ”
Several men shouted. "Exactly, Brother Flying Fox is right, I have been under the command of the god for three years, and I haven't really fought a battle, so my hands are really itching."
"But no, when we practiced the battle formation with General Zhao, we wanted to go into battle, but unexpectedly, the god general was brave, and we beat Cao Rui away. This time to beat Sun Quan, God will take us no matter what. ”
Wei Ba looked at it, these few people who were anxious to fight were all tribal leaders from Lingling, Guiyang and other counties, and they had indeed not participated in any major battles. However, they didn't exactly want to fight for the god generals, but more because of Wuximan's status in the army. Most of the standing senior generals of the three counties of Wuling are from Wuximan, and the first stop for Wei Ba to enter Jingzhou is Wuling.
As for the Flying Fox, I'm afraid it's also for the purpose of balance. Although he is now serving as the captain of Wuling and holds the military power of Wuling, he has not made any great military exploits since he joined the command of Wei Ba, and the biggest credit is to defeat Pan Jun in the Three Valleys, and at that time the main general was Zhao Tong, which had nothing to do with him. He was able to take on this important role, and many people were not convinced, thinking that it was because his daughter Nanhu married Wei Xing, Wei Ba's confidant. Among the barbarian tribes, his status is far inferior to that of the barbarian king Heisha, who has participated in many great wars.
Wei Ba is clear about the psychology of these people, no matter how scheming a barbarian is, he is also a barbarian, in terms of scheming, how can he be compared with him and Fa Miao and others around him. He waved his hand and said with a smile: "I am very happy that you have had a commendable courage. However, where soldiers die and live, we can't be careless, and my aim has always been to exchange the greatest benefit for the least price. The Master said that if you let someone with insufficient training go into battle, it is tantamount to killing someone. I'm not going to do that. I asked you to help you this time, hoping to provide an opportunity for those warriors who have not been in battle, so that they can familiarize themselves with the real battlefield and prepare for the future to personally fight and kill the enemy. ”
Wei Ba paused, and then continued: "So, don't fight, the main attack task is still completed by the standing army, and the task of the reserve is logistics and ordnance." When necessary, I might pick some of the most well-trained warriors, but not too many. ”
When everyone heard this, their expressions were different, and the standing army generals like flying foxes were naturally overjoyed, while those generals who commanded the reserves showed disappointment. These barbarians are simple-minded and don't know how to hide their thoughts at all.
The flying fox arched his hand again: "General, then when will we leave?" It's already a day of deadlines, and even if you set off now, I'm afraid you won't be able to fulfill the general's promise. General, sooner rather than later, give the order immediately, and we can go back to the camp and prepare." ”
"Haha......" Wei Badaxiao: "I didn't expect you to be a flying fox, but your fighting spirit is undiminished, and you are as aggressive as a young man." I heard that you married two more women, and I thought you were just marrying to see, but now it seems that you are likely to have a few more sons. ”
Everybody daxiao. The flying fox stroked his beard with a smile, smug.
Wei Ba waved his hand, and the laughter stopped abruptly. "Yes, even if we set off now, it is impossible for us to enter the territory of Wu on the first day of October. However, just because we can't get in doesn't mean I can't keep my promise. You must know that there are not only you warriors under my Wei Ba's command. ”
The flying fox rolled his eyes, and pretended to be unhappy and said, "God General, in this way, then my old fox is a little unhappy." With such an important task, how can we not get a piece of the pie. God, don't you think we're not good enough to fight? ”
Someone stood up, his chest pounding, and he was filled with righteous indignation. "Isn't it, God, and it's so sad for us to do this. When it comes to fighting, who can be braver than our Wuxi Man. ”
"Hey, you stupid big guy, what are you talking about? Our Guiyang is weaker than you? Thinking about the battle that defeated Old Man Lu in Linhe, our Guiyang Man had the greatest credit. ”
"You have the most credit?" The barbarian from before glared: "You ask everyone, do you recognize your account." ”
Seeing that the barbarians were about to start digging through old accounts again, Wei Ba coughed. Although this sound was not very loud, it was like thunder, and the excited barbarians invariably closed their mouths, but their eyes were like flying knives, and they kept flying.
"You are all warriors, but you don't show it in your mouth, and you shouldn't treat your comrades as enemies." Wei Ba is not angry. "Boyuan, you come to announce the combat mission."
"Whoa." Famiao stood up and walked to the map.
The barbarians didn't care about the competition, so they opened their eyes wide one by one, pricked up their ears, and waited to listen to the tactical arrangements to see if they could get a higher order of battle. Those reservists did not dare to be careless, hoping that they could be placed in an important position, and if the war was tense there, maybe they would have a chance to fight...... (To be continued......)
PS: The second update arrived, and the brother who had a monthly pass supported it, and he was squeezed down again, and Lao Zhuang was in a hurry.
