Cao Rui was surprised, and then he was suspicious.

It was impossible for Wu Shu to cooperate sincerely, which he had already prepared, but Wei Ba's suggestion that he use the iron cavalry to raid Sun Quan, who was rushing to Xiangyang, made him feel incredible. It seems a bit ...... to betray allies so blatantly

But Cao Rui was very moved by Wei Ba's proposal. If Wei Ba can release the water and let the Wei army quietly pass through the Han River controlled by the Shu army, and suddenly appear south of the Han River, whether it is to attack Sun Quan or Lu Xun, it is very likely to succeed. Not only can the siege of Xiangyang be relieved, but also the Wu army can be severely damaged. On the contrary, if Fancheng is attacked first, and then the Han River is forcibly crossed, which is protracted, Xiangyang is likely to fall into the hands of the Wu army. When the time comes, if you want to storm Xiangyang, the difficulty will increase exponentially.

Cao Rui hesitated. He didn't want to let go of this big opportunity, but he was also worried that this was a trap, what if it was a trap laid by Wu Shu and his team? He discussed it with Cao Yu, and Cao Yu also had such worries. Cao Rui immediately found Liu Ye and Jiang Ji and asked them for advice.

After Liu Ye listened, he groaned a little and immediately rejected the possibility that it was a trap.

"Bixia, Wu Shu's discord is not due to weishenme moral issues, but because of their conflict of interests. Back then, Guan Yu attacked Fancheng, Sun Quan attacked Jingzhou, and today Lu Xun attacked Xiangyang, how could Wei Ba be willing to be the striker? The reason why he did this was because his strength was insufficient, and in order to contain our army and gain opportunity for Guanzhong, he could only be driven by Lu Xun. So far, the Shu army has fought several battles with us, but the Wu army has not moved. The losses were minimal, and its intention to use the Shu army was very clear. At this scene, it is reasonable for Wei Ba to want to join forces with our army and lead our army across the Han River. ”

Cao Rui nodded slightly, and then asked: "Since they don't trust each other, how can the Wu army not be wary of our army and cross the Han River to attack, is it too risky?" ”

Liu Ye said: "Since Wei Ba wants to use the power of our army to inflict heavy damage on the Wu army, and our army really needs such an opportunity. Then both sides negotiate. It is naturally not difficult to find a solution that is acceptable to both parties. In the opinion of the ministers, although the scale of the Shu army's naval division is not as good as that of the Wu army, its strength should not be underestimated. for safety. If you can cross the water and fight in the lower reaches of Xiangyang. Avoiding the threat of the Shu army is the best policy. ”

Cao Rui thought of Sima Yi's suggestion again, and couldn't help nodding secretly. The underwater obstacles designed by Ma Jun were ineffective against the Shu army. However, it has a very defensive effect on the Wu army, as long as the time can be freed up for the barrier, it should not be a problem to ensure that the pontoon bridge for the Wei army to enter and exit the Han River.

After Cao Rui discussed with Liu Ye and others, he immediately sent Chen Tai, a freeman attendant with Wei Xing, to return to the city with Wei Xing and meet Wei Ba.

Chen Tai is in his early thirties, dignified, and unsmiling, but he reacts quickly, there is no nonsense, and after meeting Wei Ba, he immediately raised Cao Rui's question: How can we believe that this is not a trap?

After listening to Chen Tai's question, Wei Ba replied very calmly: "You can actually take this as a plan, a plan to delay the army. You should know who needs this fighter. ”

Chen Tai was speechless for a moment, but he immediately stopped dwelling on the issue. If Wei Ba was really setting a trap, then he would definitely not be so indifferent, and he would definitely try his best to win the trust of Wei. Now Wei Ba is so calm, on the contrary, it shows that he is not deceiving people, but really wants to use the power of the Wei army to hit Wu State hard.

Because this is the most beneficial to the Shu army.

"Joining the army, if this is a delaying tactic, only the Wu people will benefit." Chen Tai laughed, although there was a hint of reserve unique to the children of the family in his smile, but he did not lose his sincerity: "I don't think this is what you want to see." ”

"Not bad." Wei Ba nodded.

Seeing that Wei Ba was so calm and without any shame, Chen Tai felt very uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but ask: "Joining the army, Wu Shu is now an alliance, don't you feel a loss in your heart when you do this?" ”

Wei Ba looked at Chen Tai in surprise, and said in his heart, this is the child of the family? How can you ask such a stupid question. He thought about it, frowned lightly, and sighed: "It is said that Emperor Zhaolie used to be very kind to Ling Zun back then, but now it seems that the Yingchuan Chen family is not as good as the generation, and the river is declining. ”

Although Chen Tai did not change color, he was still very unhappy when he heard Wei Ba belittled his family. He sneered: "Please also ask Wei to join the army for advice." ”

Wei Xing, who was standing on the side, was startled and a little overwhelmed. Chen Tai's words were polite, but in fact, he was full of murderous spirit, if Wei Ba couldn't give a reasonable explanation, I was afraid that he would inevitably be humiliated by Chen Tai. The children of these families are dignified, love their reputation like feathers, and refuse to be tarnished a little. Wei Ba belittled his family in person, which was more serious than scolding him himself, and Chen Tai was in the age of his blood and strength, so how could he let it go easily. He glanced at Wei Ba, and his heart rose to his throat. When it comes to fighting, he is very confident in Wei Ba, but when it comes to talking about whether Zang is a character or not, he sits and talks, especially against a child of a family like Chen Tai, he has no confidence in Wei Ba at all.

It's no wonder that when Wei Ba embarrassed Xiahou Xuan, they were all outside, and no one had ever seen Wei Ba's heroic posture.

Wei Ba didn't know that Wei Xing was very nervous now, and he smiled calmly: "I heard that Mr. Taiqiu was ranked among the four elders back then, and he got together with Xun Langling and disturbed the stars, which can be described as a humble and high-minded person. It's a pity that when he arrived at Lingzun Chen Changwen, there was no world in his eyes, only the family, and he came up with a nine-grade official method, only knowing how to flatter the family, but forgetting that the Chen family was originally a poor family. As for you, hehe......"

Wei Ba shook his head, which naturally meant that it was insufficient. When Chen Tai saw it, he could no longer hold back his anger, and he couldn't maintain the grace and generosity of the children of the family, so he protested: "Please also join the army and give advice, and speak bluntly in person." ”

Wei Ba snorted disdainfully, took a sip of the wine glass, and then said slowly: "You just said that the Wu Shu Alliance, I am now negotiating with your Wei State, is it a moral loss?" ”

"Am I wrong?"

"You can say it's wrong, or you can say it's good."

Chen Tai was confused, and he couldn't figure out what Wei Ba meant for a while, so he had to look at Wei Ba with blank eyes, waiting for his further explanation. The more anxious he was, the more calm Wei Ba became, fiddling with the pen and ink on the case unhurriedly, and not taking a child of a family like Chen Tai in his eyes at all. That relaxation made Wei Xing excited.

"Yes, because in terms of personal morality, treachery is of course shameful to people. Naturally, you should feel guilty about doing such a thing. Wei Ba put away his jokes and replied seriously: "But I am doing this now, not for personal purposes, but for the country, then your statement is that the donkey's lips are not the horse's mouth, which is very wrong." ”

Chen Tai sneered: "Could it be that seeking one's life and seeking one's country are two different truths?" ”

"Of course." Wei Ba replied without hesitation: "Between countries, there are no eternal allies, only eternal interests. If you don't even understand this truth, how can you seek a country? Is it right or wrong for Chen Ping to bribe a woman to save Han Gaozu Yu Baideng? He grinned, pointed at Chen Tai, and then pointed to his nose: "There is only one step between truth and falsehood, and that is this step between you and me." ”

Chen Tai was stunned. He felt that Wei Ba's words were wrong, diametrically opposed to the teachings of the saint, but he couldn't think of how to refute him. In a trance, he felt as if a window had opened in front of him, allowing him to see something that was originally vague.

Wei Xing looked at Chen Tai, who was stunned and speechless, and admired Wei Ba so much that he threw himself to the ground. Chen Tai is a real child of a family, wherever such people go, they are all condescending to look at people, they are never the only ones who accuse others, when do you see them deflated? Unexpectedly, the young master's almost scoundrel words made Chen Tai so embarrassed.

Chen Tai thought hard for a long time, but still couldn't refute Wei Ba's words, so he had to avoid this topic and discuss practice instead. Wei Ba was originally very uninterested in Chen Tai, thinking that this kid was too angry when he was reading to death. But later, when discussing specific issues, he found that Chen Tai was not pedantic at all, on the contrary, he was very pragmatic and thoughtful in every detail. This makes communication between them a lot easier. Debating empty truths with a pedantic nerd is obviously not as simple as talking to a pragmatic person about specific matters.

And Chen Tai was also very surprised, he originally thought that Wei Ba was a martial artist, and he might have a little experience in the affairs of craftsmen, but he was limited to his vision, and his overall view was bound to be limited. However, after talking with Wei Ba, he found that Wei Ba was very familiar with the current situation and had a clear grasp of the future battle situation. Not only did he have a clear understanding of the situation in Shu, but he was also no stranger to the situation in Wu and Shu, and everything he did seemed to be part of a big plan that focused on the unification of the world.

With such a psychological foundation, the more they talked, the more speculative they became, completely forgetting the unpleasantness just now. On a whim, Wei Ba asked Chen Tai with a smile: "Are you and Xiahou Tai first acquainted?" ”

Chen Tai nodded, but his face was a little disapproving. Although he was born in a family, he did not agree with a famous person like Xiahou Xuan. He also knew that Cao Rui, the son of heaven, was going to marry Xiahou Hui to Wei Ba, thinking that Wei Ba wanted to use Xiahou Xuan's reputation to show himself.

"Last time I asked him a question, he claimed to be erudite and thoughtful, but he couldn't answer it at all, I wonder if you can help me solve this doubt?"

When Chen Tai heard this, he immediately came to his senses. If even the problem that Xiahou Xuan can't solve is solved by him, doesn't it just mean that he is smarter than Xiahou Xuan, and he is also smarter than Wei Ba?

Seeing that Chen Tai was so excited, Wei Ba secretly laughed and said the question that embarrassed Xiahou Xuan again. Chen Tai was a little unimpressed at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that there was a lot of article in it. He thought about it for a long time, but he didn't think of an answer. In desperation, he had no choice but to ask Wei Ba for advice.

Wei Ba smiled slightly, shook his head, and did not answer Chen Tai's question, but patted Chen Tai's hand seriously: "Chen Xuanbo, the master climbs Dongshan and Xiaolu, and climbs Mount Tai and the world." You're still at the foot of the East Mountain. The coming day is long, and we should work hard. ”

Chen Tai's face was red, and he was speechless. Wei Ba's words were old-fashioned, as if the elders were encouraging the younger ones, but Wei Ba was only ten years older than him, and he should say this to Wei Ba. However, his insight is not as good as Wei Ba, this is a fact, although he is not convinced, he has to pinch his nose and endure it. (To be continued......)
