Sun Quan made arrangements and immediately wrote an edict, on the one hand, he sent someone to Lu Xun to inform him of the intention of arranging Pan Jun to be his deputy general, so as not to be suspicious of Lu Xun, and on the other hand, he urgently summoned Fei Yi. Fei Yi did not go to Guanzhong with Zhuge Liang, he has been living in Wuchang, and is responsible for liaising and communicating with Wu to ensure that there will be no new misunderstandings between the two sides.

Sun Quan informed Fei Yi of the current situation, Wei Ba broke the contract, invaded Jiaozhou, and was now attacking Yanguan. Lu Xun retaliated because of this and was rushing to Chenyang, if nothing else, he would probably have occupied Chenyang. Both sides are responsible for this conflict, but in the final analysis, it was Wei Ba who provoked it first. Jiaozhou belongs to my Wu country, and Lingling is also my Wu country, he went to fight Yanguan, that is, to provoke trouble, if something happens, you have to bear all the responsibility.

In the face of Sun Quan's accusations, Fei Yi did not make any comments. He said to Sun Quan very calmly, I can't just listen to the king's words, Wei Ba is reckless and impulsive, but we can't wronged him because of this. I will personally rush to Yanguan and ask Wei Ba in person, and then reply to the king.

Sun Quan had already prepared for Fei Yi's response. What did Wei Ba do? Mess around. Let Wu have no spare strength to cooperate with Wei to attack Shu Han in order to relieve Zhuge Liang's pressure in Guanzhong. If you want to make trouble, of course, you have to delay time, and now that the situation in Guanzhong is tense, how could Fei Yi easily agree to him withdraw to Wei Ba. If Zhuge Liang wants to withdraw to Wei Ba, there are only two possibilities, one is the defeat of Shu Han in Guanzhong, and Zhuge Liang needs the support of Wei Ba's troops. The second is the stalemate in the battle in Guanzhong, and Zhuge Liang needs Wu to respond and flank Wei. forced Wei to withdraw its troops. If Zhuge Liang wins a big victory in Guanzhong, then Wei Ba will not have to go back, Zhuge Liang will definitely let him capture Jingzhou in one go, and then seize Jiangdong and completely destroy Sun Wu.

Therefore, Sun Quan sent Zhuge Jin to see Zhuge Liang and tell him about his strategic intentions, if you don't recall Wei Ba, it will be like declaring war with my Wu State, and I won't give you time to think about it. I will join forces with Wei directly. Even if I don't have enough troops right now. It is impossible to invade Yizhou on a large scale, but it will not be a problem for me to send people to attack Xincheng and contain the forces in your Xiangyang area.

……

Just when Sun Quan was strategizing and dispatching troops in order to deal with Wei Ba. Wei Ba is seriously considering further action. After conquering the strict pass. He received a message from Liao Li. Lu Xun has already gone to Chenyang. Wei Ba knew very well that Chenyang had no soldiers, and it was easy for Lu Xun to capture Chenyang. As long as he wants. But this is not a bad thing, Yan Guan is successful, the Xiongxi tribe is under his banner, he has no excuse to start a war with Wu again, and now Lu Xun has captured Chenyang, which just gives him an excuse.

There are excuses, but the war situation is not necessarily very optimistic. That's right, now he is a strong soldier, and if he wants, he can expand his army to 50,000 people. The problem is that he can't afford to raise so many people at all, so he reorganized the Xiongxi tribe that had just been submitted, selected a thousand elites from the Xiongxi tribe, and sent the others home, hurry up and prepare for the autumn harvest. The Wuhu barbarians who were invited to come were also dealt with in the same way, and the five thousand people who were selected before stayed, and the others gave out some loot, and they all went home to live.

Shi Kuang and Xiahou Xuan didn't understand Wei Ba's decision to have soldiers or not, the more people in the war, the better, how could someone come to surrender and rush back? Although you are generous, those barbarians don't feel ashamed, but isn't it good to have a lot of people?

Wei Ba replied in the affirmative, not good. For every soldier and farmer, I have to provide an extra grain and receive a lesser grain. I'd rather recruit fewer soldiers, let more people go home to farm, and pay me money and food. The fewer people who eat bread and the more people who provide it, the easier it will be for me to live this day.

This problem did not cause much trouble to Wei Ba, whether it was Shi Kuang or Xiahou Xuan, they did not have the power to influence him. Wei Ba's headache now is that he has a reason to go to war, but he has not thought about Jihua to expand the war.

Jin Dongliu and others suggested going east and south, capturing the entire Yulin, and then attacking Cangwu, along the southern foot of Wuling, all the way east, until the entire Jiaozhou was occupied. Shi Kuang also suggested, he assured Wei Ba that he could help Wei Ba occupy the entire Jiaozhou, after all, the Shi family ruled Jiaozhou for thirty years, and the foundation was far from being comparable to the Wu people who had just come a few years ago.

Wei Ba believed in Shi Kuang's words, and the Shi family had such confidence. But the problem is that he doesn't have time. It is already the end of June, and the autumn harvest will be in two months, and after the autumn harvest, the battle of Guanzhong will inevitably break out. From Xiahou Xuan's mouth, it was learned that Wei had been preparing for this war for more than a year, bent on recapturing Guanzhong, in order to gather all Liliang in Guanzhong, Cao Rui did not hesitate to bow to Sun Quan, not only sent back Sun Quan's head, but also gave Sun Quan generously, promising that as long as Sun Quan helped him contain Shu Han, he would agree to call him emperor, and intended to divide the river and rule, and share the world with Sun Quan.

Wei Ba also knew that although Shu Han had more than half a year longer than Wei, and last year's harvest was good, Shu Han only had one state after all, and it was not Wei's opponent in terms of population or total wealth. Coupled with the shortage of cavalry, Shu can only be based on the passive situation of defense, the relative attack is flexible and changeable, the defending side will always suffer a lot, once there is negligence, it is possible to be completely defeated.

In other words, the most important outcome of this battle is a draw, and the current situation remains unchanged, and if there is a slight mistake, then the level is likely to be gained and lost.

Guanzhong gains and loses, maybe it's not so terrible for Shu Han, Guanzhong has just arrived anyway, and if you lose it, you lose it. But the Wei family is different, in order to seize Guanzhong, the Wei family invested a lot of manpower and material resources, and nearly half of the soldiers were killed in the battle. If they lose again in Guanzhong, then the Wei family's family will basically be empty.

Shu Han can afford to lose, and neither can the Wei family. Wei Ba didn't want to be entangled in Jingzhou for too long, he was ready to rush to the Guanzhong battlefield at any time.

In this case, how could he capture Jiaozhou step by step.

"Do you defeat Zhu Ji and enter Lingling directly, or do you turn to Cangwu and enter Guiyang?" Wei Ba said to Jin Dongliu, Xiangfu and others: "This decision is actually to eat Zhu Ji's thousand cavalry first, or avoid him." In my opinion, it's not easy to eat, but it's avoided. Likewise disagree. We walked in the mountains for a few days, and Zhu Ji might be able to arrive in one day. No matter how much we dodge, we may not be able to hide from him. ”

"And the general means to eat him?" Jin Dongliu pursed his lips and shook his head. "General, although a thousand cavalry is not a lot of them, it is not easy to deal with. If Zhu Ji refuses to enter the mountain, we basically have no chance to fight him head-on, and can only be beaten passively. ”

Wei Ba didn't say anything, he looked at the others. Among all the generals present, the most familiar with the tactics of cavalry were undoubtedly Jin Dongliu and Wang Shuang, who surrendered from Wei. Neither Shoo nor the others had ever experienced large-scale cavalry battles. They simply can't understand what a painful experience it is for thousands of cavalry to chase you day and night. This is not something that can be solved by simply comparing the number of people.

The best way to deal with the cavalry is to ambush them, lure them into the terrain that is unfavorable to the cavalry, curb the cavalry's ability to attack, and besiege them. You can get twice the result with half the effort. That's how Zhang Fei defeated Zhang He back then. But there is a premise for using the plan. That's what the other party will do. If the other party is not fooled. No matter how you haode plan, you are also acting for yourself. Zhu Ji is indeed young, but he is not reckless, last time he was in Longyan Beach. He had already seen Wei Ba's power, and now that Wei Ba had taken the strict pass lightly, Zhu Ji was even more vigilant. He retreated directly to Quanling and held Xiangguan, making it clear that he wanted to defend instead of attacking, and resolutely refused to enter the mountainous area. If you want to lure such a frightened bird to attack, the difficulty can be imagined.

Fighting, but not fighting, avoiding, and not avoiding, this is a big problem.

Wei Ba and the generals discussed for a long time, but they didn't come up with a result, so they had to let everyone go to rest and discuss it tomorrow. When he returned to his room, Guan Feng, who was sitting in front of the desk reading a book, greeted him, and when he saw his face, he laughed: "What's the matter, the discussion didn't go well?" ”

"Well, it's not easy to chase four legs with two legs." Wei Ba took off his big hat, handed it to Guan Feng, walked to the front of the case, and glanced at the book on the case: "What kind of book is this?" ”

"Shi Xie's "Spring and Autumn Collection Notes"." Guan Feng said with a smile: "This is a famous teacher, and some small words and righteousness may not be able to come up with it even if you want to do it for a lifetime." ”

"Do you really want to be a doctor?" Wei Ba grinned, lay down on the couch, clasped his hands behind his head, and looked at the blue-black roof.

"If you don't want to be a doctor, you can't study?" Guan Feng sat on the edge of the couch, reached out and touched Wei Ba's thin cheek, and frowned distressedly: "You have to pay attention to your body." I'm so tired during this time that my chin is pointed. ”

"Really?" Wei Ba touched his face and sighed: "I feel too tired." In the past, I was bent on wanting military power, but now that I have military power, I know that this is really not a human life, and when my eyes are opened, more than 10,000 people want to eat, dress, and want this and that, which is really annoying. It's still good at the beginning, although I don't have much power, and I don't have to worry about so many things. ”

"You don't know until now." Guan Feng sneered: "I also heard Daddy say this. At the beginning, he followed the first emperor to go from place to place, and his subordinates often only had a few hundred people, or at most a thousand, which was enough to worry about. Later, he sat in Jingzhou and had tens of thousands of people under him, so he knew how easy his life was before. ”

"yes, I'm too stressed." Wei Ba muttered, "I have to decompress, or I'm about to explode." ”

"How are you going to decompress?" Guan Feng took a pu fan and fanned it again and again, and a wisp of green silk floated up with the wind and scraped on Wei Ba's face, itchy. Wei Ba glanced at her, and suddenly smiled: "It's useless to tell you." ”

"Who did you tell about it?" Guan Feng was not angry, and responded casually.

"Let's talk to Yuanrong about this." Wei Ba sighed deliberately: "However, she is probably about to give birth now, and it is useless to say it." Alas—bitter. ”

Guan Feng's face flushed, and he took a sip: "Are you men all like this, you think about it every day...... Copulation? ”

"Don't say it so badly." Wei Ba suddenly came to his senses, "Let me tell you, this matter, in addition to the effect of reproducing offspring, also has the effect of reducing pressure and promoting feelings." The four major functions in the room, Guangji is only one of them, the communication between spirit and flesh is the most important, do you know that weishenme illegitimate son is smart? It is the person who cheats the most devoted, so that the best child can be born. ”

"Nonsense!" Guan Feng spat on Wei Ba with a red face, and got up to leave. Wei Ba grabbed her and begged, "Sister, practice brings true knowledge, why don't we try it." ”

"You can find whoever you want to try, I don't want to be so innocent, and I don't want to have a nameless child, who will be ridiculed in the future and can't hold my head up for the rest of my life." Guan Feng broke free from Wei Ba and turned around to escape. Wei Ba shouted: "That's why not, sister, we won't kill people, and we won't break your chastity, won't it be done?" ”

Guan Feng stopped at the door, but refused to look back, she turned her face sideways, and her voice was as low as a mosquito: "Is there such a way?" ”

"Of course." Wei Ba jumped up excitedly, picked up Guan Feng by the waist, kicked the door with his foot, and walked towards the couch excitedly, muttering a few words in Guan Feng's ear as he walked.

Guan Feng exclaimed: "You are so disgusting! ”

"It's not like you haven't done it, what's disgusting." Wei Ba laughed evilly, regardless of Guan Feng's struggle and opposition, and hugged Guan Feng to the couch. (To be continued......)
