Wei Ba's hand shook and almost poured the water from the cup on his chest. In an instant, he suddenly realized.

One of the secret orders given to him by Zhuge Liang was not clear, not that Zhuge Liang did not want to explain it clearly, but because Zhuge Liang himself was not sure, so he naturally could not explain it to him, so he could only understand it from his actions.

The two countries formed an alliance, and Zhuge Liang agreed to admit that Sun Quan was the emperor. For Sun Quan, this was a great opportunity to get rid of the troubles of his status. Logically speaking, at this time, he should not do anything to stimulate Shu Han, but bear it. Unless he is confident enough to break the alliance.

Wuxi is located at the intersection of Jiaozhou, Yizhou and Jingzhou. It has continuous mountains, undulating mountains and no arable land. It is definitely not a wealthy place. From ancient times to the present, the Central Plains government has been unable to directly rule these areas, so it can only be carried out. In custody, as long as these barbarians do not take the initiative to cause trouble, the central government generally will not take the initiative to cause trouble. The reason is that the terrain restrictions here are not suitable for large army operations at all.

Sun Quan mobilized three important generals, Lu Dai, Pan Jun and Bu Zhi, with a total of more than 30,000 people attacking Wuling. It seemed that there were a lot of troops, but it was not easy to conquer Wuxi. Thirty or forty thousand people threw themselves into the mountains. In addition to being able to force the barbarians to retreat, it has no practical effect. Kill the roots? Dream!

However, it is different with Liu Chan and Zhu Bao.

Liu Chan was Liu Zhang's second son. After Liu Bei entered Shu, Liu Chan followed Liu Zhang to the public security office. Guan Yu made an northern expedition, Lu Meng attacked Jingzhou, and Liu Chan and his son became prisoners of the Wu army. After Liu Bei died, the powerful people in Yizhou rebelled and prepared to seize the south. Zhong. At that time, Liu Zhang was already dead, and Sun Quan appointed Liu Chan as the governor of Yizhou. Under the guise of resigning back to Yizhou for Liu Chan, he wanted to split Yizhou. Later, Zhuge Liang took office and quelled the rebellion of Nanzhong. He first joined forces with the Eastern Wu. One of them is to ask the Eastern Wu not to cause trouble behind the scenes. Sun Quan agreed to Zhuge Liang, and on the surface he canceled his support for the powerful people of Yizhou, but he never stopped the idea of ​​seizing Yizhou in private. Just go inside.

After Zhuge Liang pacified the Nanzhong Rebellion, several of the leaders died and fled. Liu Chan was unable to support him, so he retreated to the junction of Jiaozhou and Yizhou, and Zhu Bao also fled to the territory of the Wu people. Zhuge Liang was not sure. He just estimated that these people might have fled to the Wu Kingdom. It was so easy to hide a few people in the mountains and forests. What's more, there was the acceptance of the Wu people.

Liu Chan is Liu Zhang's son. Compared with Liu Bei, he has a more reasonable ownership of Yizhou in name. When he has no strength, this name will not work, but if he has the strength to support him, this name will have a considerable effect. Zhu Bao is a big family in Yizhou. He represents the attitude of the powerful people in the South Central to a certain extent. Although Zhuge Liang pacified Nanzhong, killed Gao Ding and others, and brought Meng Huo to Chengdu to become an official, Nanzhong has not been completely pacified, and all Zhuge Liang can do is to be free from chaos.

If Zhu Bao returns to Yizhou again, let alone whether he can rule Yizhou, at least Zhuge Liang's plan will definitely fail. Next, he must turn his attention to Nanzhong again. If he is not careful, Sun Quan will take advantage of the situation to infiltrate Nanzhong. It was not impossible. At that time, Zhuge Liang had to be unable to take into account both the north and the south, and could only give in to Sun Quan.

Perhaps considering this possibility, Zhuge Liang issued a secret order to Wei Ba, asking him to advance into Wuxi, smash the conspiracy of Wu, and at the same time restrain the Wu army in Wuxi, so that they could not free up their hands to carry out Yong'an area.

contain.

These are shameless actions that can only be carried out secretly. Both sides secretly compete with wits and strength, and on the surface they also need to "come sincerely".

"Zhu Bao is not dead yet?" Wei Ba glanced at Xu Yuan: "Since he is back, why don't he go to Jing Ke, but come to Yuanxi instead?"

Xu Yuan hesitated a little, Wei Ba coughed, Jin Suoer let go of the rope in his hand, and the two big dogs were trying to pounce, which scared Xu Yuan so much that he screamed: "He is looking for Panhu Ling!"

Panhu Ling? Wei Ba smiled. The Yuanxi tribe was originally the strongest among the Wuxi tribes. The Man King Shamanke is the elite man of the Yuanxi tribe. Their power covers Chenyang, Xupu, and the forwards reach Yuan.

Ling Ma Liang entered Wuxi, and Shamoke respected him very much and supported him to build a city in Xupu to grow rice. However, when Yiling was defeated, Shamoke died in battle, and the Yuanxi tribe suffered the most heavy losses. From then on, he became a third-rate young man.

tribe.

Shamoke's death not only caused changes in the power comparison of the Wuxi barbarians, but more importantly, the Panhu Order disappeared, making it impossible for the Wuxi tribe to gather together again. There was no Panhu Order that barbarian kings in history must have, and it only relied on strength.

It was impossible to conquer the hearts of the Wuxi barbarians. Zhu Bao was expected to come to the Yuanxi tribe to find Panhu Ling. However, none of them expected that the Panhu Ling was in Wei Ba's

Holding it in your arms.

This matter is naturally a major event, and it can only be understood by people at the top of the leader of each tribe. At present, only the husband, Shuai Zeng and One Way know about it, even Han Ru, Jin Suoer and others are not clear about it.

"How many people did Zhu Bao lead?"

"No... not many people." Xu Yuan's eyes rolled for a moment, and then he found that Wei Ba was looking at him with a cold look. Wei Ba pulled the corner of his mouth and turned his head to look at the soldier: "I'll give you a talk

Chance."

The soldier couldn't wait to scream: "He is lying! Zhu Bao has at least three thousand men and hundreds of warships."

"Beast!" Xu Yuan was extremely angry, jumped up and rushed towards the soldier. Wei Ba snorted, Dunwu kicked and kicked Xu Yuan hard in the stomach. Xu Yuan was already scared

It was soft, and the power that was only aroused by anger just now was so powerful that it could not resist Dunwu's kick. He was kicked and fell to the ground with a pounce. Before he could recover, a big dog pounced on him.

He bit his ankle hard and dragged it back hard. The piercing pain made him unable to control his fear and screamed.

Wei Ba waited for a moment and waved his hand to signal Jin Suoer to take back the big dog. He said lightly: "This is the last chance. If you still want to lie, I will not satisfy your desire to sacrifice."

Xu Yuan collapsed on the ground, his thin chest fluctuated violently, and his dog escaped, leaving him no longer the courage to resist. He answered whatever Wei Ba asked, poured beans into bamboo buckets, and did not dare to hide anything.

After listening to Xu Yuan's confession, Wei Ba frowned. Zhu Bao brought three thousand Wu troops to the Yuanxi tribe, obviously preparing to lure him but failed to conquer him with force. The Yuanxi tribe was not strong enough and was likely to surrender to them.

"Sir, what should I do?" Han Ru couldn't help but feel anxious when she saw Wei Ba pondering. "There are too many enemies, and we have no chance at all."

"What do you mean?"

"Go back to Chenxi to dispatch troops."

"Don't talk about Chenxi, even if you can transfer Nanxi's soldiers, there will be no chance to defeat these Wu soldiers head-on." Wei Ba shook his head, and his eyes gradually became firmer. "Besides, we don't have it either."

Time. It takes at least six or seven days to go back and forth. By then, I am afraid that the Yuanxi tribe will no longer exist.”

"What do you mean by sir?"

"Send two people back to report the news. Let's go to Yuanxi to see if there is any chance."

Han Ru took a breath of air. More than 30 people attacked more than 3,000 people? He smacked his lips and didn't say a word. His eyes at Wei Ba became weird, as if he was looking at an idiot.

Wei Ba ignored him, and he took turns to interrogate the soldiers and asked in detail about the situation of the Wu army stationed in the Yuanxi tribe. From the mouths of these prisoners, he learned that the person in charge of this Wu army was nominally Zhu Bao.

In fact, there is another person with a more noble identity, that is Lu Dai's eldest son Lu Kai. Lu Kai is in his forties and has been fighting with Lu Dai for many years and has rich experience in the battlefield. It is Lu Dai's capable support.

Han Ru became even more nervous when he heard that there was such a person. He tentatively suggested: "Sir, the gap between us is huge. Should we be more cautious?"

Wei Ba sighed: "The reason why the Yuanxi tribe is bullied now is because the battle of Yiling was too great. If it weren't for Sha Manke's death in Yiling, how could their wife and children be

If you suffer such humiliation, you cannot wait for this matter. They suffer an extra hour of grievance, which will deepen our sins. Han Ru, I will give you an important task."

"Sir..." Han Ru's face turned pale.

"You bring someone back to Chenxi and tell Zhao Zhonglang and Miss Guan, and say I want to go to Yuanxi and ask them to bring people to help immediately." Wei Ba looked at Han Ru's twitching face and smiled as if nothing had happened: "

Your mission is not to fight against the Wu army, but to guard against the two foxes in Nanxi taking advantage of the fire to rob.”

Han Ru breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he was not allowed to fight against the three thousand elite Wu troops, he would be relieved.

"What should I do about Yuanxi?"

"I'll do the matter about Yuanxi." Wei Ba did not explain, and calmly sent Han Ru on the way. Han Ru was suspicious and took a subordinate on the way back. Jin Suoer looked at his brother's back and left with contempt.

He curled his lips and patted his chest and said, "Sir, tell me, what should I do? Let's listen to you."

Wei Ba smiled and said, "Thank you for your trust. This time, if you want to succeed, you really have to rely on the girl and these two divine dogs."

When Jinsuoer heard this, she smiled.

"Girl, are you familiar with the villages of the Yuanxi tribe?"

"Familiar, I am very familiar with the king's daughter Sharaman. I often discuss how to serve the god dogs together, and I have also gone to their back village to play."

"Then do you still remember the retreat where the Yuanxi tribe escaped?"

"This..." Jin Suoer shook her head in embarrassment: "Sir, this road is the highest secret of each tribe and will not tell outsiders."

Wei Ba sighed. Jin Suoer didn't know, but he knew that this road was marked very clearly in that map. It seemed that this road should have been told by Shamoke. If it weren't for unreserved trust.

Ma Liang, Shamoko would not tell Ma Liang about such an important thing. Now, he has an advantage that Wu people do not have because of this map.

"I think, maybe I can find that road." Wei Ba said deeply in response to Jin Suer's surprised gaze: "King Shamoke's spirit in heaven must hope that we will save his family, and he will help us.

.Miss Jinsouer, are you willing to walk with me?" (To be continued...)
