Wei Ba never believed that Sun Quan would interfere with his decision because of his pampering Sun Luban. As a person who has been at the center of the vortex of power since he was 20 years old, Sun Quan has always grasped the general direction very well. He has no doubt about Sun Luban's doting

, but he would never send troops to Jianghuai because of Sun Luban's request.

The only reason for asking him to send troops to Jianghuai was that he had to send troops was either threats or interests.

The threat came from Cao Rui's heavy troops arranged by the Jianghuai area. He used Yinfan to send false news and used Cao Rui's vigilance against himself to induce Cao Rui to strengthen his vigilance against the Jianghuai area, and also used the situation of the Wei army to make Sun Quan suspicious.

In turn, Sun Quan's reaction was used to aggravate Cao Rui's doubts, and he fought against the big ones with a small opportunity, and finally turned an impossible thing into reality.

Both Wei and Wu arranged heavy troops in the Jianghuai area. With the pitiful trust between them, would they believe the other party’s words?

Of course it is impossible.

However, Wei Ba must not be satisfied with this. The fact that the Wei and Wu soldiers in Jianghuai do not mean that they can fight. Cao Rui and Sun Quan do not want to fight, and Man Chong and Lu Xun are not reckless people. They must be together.

Will maintain restraint as much as possible and not provoke wars first.

So Wei Ba still had to set fire.

This fire is to force Sun Quan to force and induce him to use changes in the world situation to force Sun Quan to make a choice between the Han and Wei. Even if they don’t fight, they can at least restrain part of the troops of Wei, buy time for Li Yan, and even more

Zhuge Liang fights for time.

Although Wei Ba is in Dangyang and not on the front line, he is the intersection of several forces, and is no less important than Zhuge Liang and Li Yan who are commanding the war on the front line. To put it more practically, if it weren't for him to deal with it, Zhuge Liang would

There is no possibility of cooperation with Li Yan.

Now, the situation between Jianghuai is like a snowball, gradually breaking away from the control of Sun Quan and Cao Rui and developing in the direction of Wei Ba's hope. At this time, letting Sun Luban come forward to ask Sun Quan was just giving Sun Quan a step.

Sun Quan did not have many choices. After the fierce discussion, he had to agree to Wei Ba's request. He agreed to Zhao to lead tens of thousands of troops. He entered Jiangxia under the banner of Wu's army and rushed to Dabie Mountain to meet with Chen Dada. However, he asked Zhao to

The government must not act rashly, and the reasons are simple. I cannot let my daughter become a widow again. There is no certainty of winning. You must not act without authorization.

Of course this is just an excuse, which only means that Sun Quan has not fully accepted his fate, and he still wants to delay as much as possible. Wei Ba is also prepared for this. I believe that Sun Quan can surrender in the end. After receiving Sun Quan's reply, he no longer acts as a person.

Yang stopped and immediately asked Zhao Tong to set off. He took the Three Thousand Personal Guards to return to Xiangyang as fast as possible.

Seeing Wei Ba, Li Yan smiled: "Wei Ziyu, you have caused me a lot."

Wei Ba also smiled: "What, only tens of thousands of people can't control the general? Only when the sea flows in the sky can show the true nature of a hero."

"Forget it, I won't listen to you again next time." Li Yan put away his smile and said seriously: "If you don't come to clarify, those kids are about to make me rebellious. In my opinion, you are the only one who can do it.

Only Wei Ziyu can command them.”

"The general is so serious." Wei Ba was extremely frightened and said quickly: "The general was entrusted by the late emperor to govern the military affairs inside and outside. They dared not to disobey the late emperor's will? Besides, the army has its own military rules, who dared not follow it? However,

People in the army value military merits, and whoever can lead them to win a battle will convince them. As long as the general wins this Northern Expedition, they will naturally follow the general's orders in the future."

"I can only achieve success with Ziyu's help. If I can conquer Nanyang this time and fulfill Guan Hou's unfulfilled wish, Ziyu should be the first contribution."

"The general is so serious. It is a great honor for me to be able to fight on the battlefield with the general and restore the Han Dynasty."

Li Yanruo looked at Wei Ba meaningfully and was very satisfied. He said these words just to remind Wei Ba that Wei Ba was very conscious and took out the last emperor's will to talk about it, that was to stand on his side and express his concealment to the Prime Minister.

Zhuge Liang was dissatisfied. Although Li Yan could not believe Wei Ba completely, he believed that Wei Ba and Zhuge Liang could not be as close as rumored. Zhuge Liang would rather re-train the surrendered general Jiang Wei than train Wei Ba.

It proves that if Wei Ba had not had the ability, even if he did not die in Guanzhong, he would have died in Wuling.

The enemy's enemy may become friends. Li Yan may not have heard this sentence, but he understands this principle. When it comes to power schemes, the Chinese are absolutely precocious, and the power schemes of Sun Tzu's Art of War and the "Warring States Policy" are not available in two thousand years.

》, "Han Feizi" and other classic categories.

During a few conversations, Wei Ba and Li Yan expressed their feelings to each other. As for the fact that some of the points are true, they will judge them by themselves. But there is a fact that if this battle is won, of course

Everyone is happy. If you lose, it is hard to say what the consequences will be. Victory can sometimes cover up many differences. In order to win, Zhuge Liang can join forces with Li Yan, why can't Li Yan cooperate with Wei Ba?

Li Yan immediately summoned the generals to discuss the matter. When the generals saw Wei Ba present and chatting with Li Yan in public, they couldn't help but be stunned. After Wei Ba talked about the whole story, they woke up as if they were dreaming.

"General, Ziyu, you..." Meng Da laughed a little embarrassedly and pointed at Wei Bada: "You little boy, you are really crazy and hiding us so miserable. If it weren't for the clever cavalry, I'm afraid that now

Something has happened."

Wei Ba smiled slightly: "If it weren't for the clever cavalry, if Zhendong had not mediated it, I wouldn't have dared to take this dangerous plan. Brother..." Wei Ba stood up and gave Wei Feng a wink: "Isn't it because of the recklessness that day."

Isn't it a pity to pay the cavalry? I'm thankful that the cavalry is very tolerant. If you meet a chick-hearted person, can you still live to this day?"

Wei Feng hurriedly stepped forward to apologize to Li Yan. Li Yan did not point out Wei Ba’s reminder and waved his hand: “Forget it, since it’s a plan, what’s the big deal about some verbal collisions? But next time you’re going to treat me

You have to notify me in advance if you swing your fist. I am old and can't help but punch you, a young man."

Wei Feng smiled awkwardly, and everyone burst into laughter, and the originally somewhat depressing atmosphere was wiped out.

Li Yan immediately announced the combat plan. During the negotiations between Dangyang and Sun Quan, Li Yan had re-strengthening the city defense in Xiangyang and prepared to attack Xiangcheng, waiting for Wei Ba to complete the mobilization of the Eastern Wu army.

After laying the groundwork, we began to launch an attack on Nanyang.

The plan he used was the best strategy proposed by Wei Ba: first take Nanxiang, then attack Wancheng, and force Sima Yi from Fancheng to retreat. Although it was slower, it was more secure. This was the first time he had commanded troops since he was in power.

In combat, everything is based on stability.

Of course, the task of attacking Fancheng will be completed by Li Yan, the main force of attacking the city. Meng Da, as the deputy general, is the unscrupulous main force of attacking the city. Wei Ba is led by other troops in Nanxiang. However, because Wei Ba's banner is still in Yuzhou,

So he had to go quietly. The nominal commander was his brother, General Wei Feng, the defensive general of the Hanzhong Navy, and the partial general Fu Xing.

After assigning the task, Li Yan stood up, his eyes were cold and murderous: "After going back, I would keep my mouth shut. If anyone dares to reveal the news about General Zhennan here, I will recognize you

, I can't recognize you."

"Now." The generals replied with a loud bang.

When Wei Ba was stationed in Dangyang, General Fubo Feng Jin had already transferred the warship to Nanxiang County. The name of Nanxiang County was still under the control of the Wei army. In fact, since Li Yan sent troops to Xiangyang, the south of the Han River had become the Shu Han River.

The division's control range, the Wei army, who had lost the navy, could only retreat to Shunyang. Shunyang was where the water was injected into Dan water, which was the Danjiangkou in later generations. If you want to enter Wuguan Road from the waterway, this is the only way to go.

.

The governor of Jingzhou, Wu Qiu Jian, led his army to station here, and King Cao Yu of Yan was in Nanxiang County, and Nanxiang County, which was more than ten miles north of Shunyang. Shunyang was on the north bank of Danshui, while Nanxiang was on the south bank of Danshui.

There is a canyon between the two cities. It is winter now, the water level of Danshui has dropped, and the river beaches on both sides can be marched. Wuqiujian built a floating bridge between Shunyang and Nanxiang, which can not only block ships, but also

It is convenient for the two cities to rescue each other.

Obviously, Wu Qiu Jian was fully prepared and did not intend to give the Shu Han army any chance to seize Wuguan Road or attack Wancheng.

Wuqiu Jian did this, on the one hand, because the situation requires it, and Wuguan Dao cannot be misunderstood. On the other hand, he also wanted to prove himself. Wuqiu Jian's father Wuqiu Xing was once the prefect of Wuwei, and he suppressed the Heyou Rebellion and attacked him.

Zhang Jinhe rebelled against Hu Yougong and was granted the title of Marquis of Gaoyang Township. He became a master of military achievements. He started his career with military achievements, while Wu Qiu Jian inherited his title and entered the official position. Therefore, although he was a native of Wenxi, he was not valued by the villagers.

.

However, Wuqiu Jian's knowledge is not bad. He had a close relationship with Xiahou Xuan, Li Feng and others. When Cao Rui was still the crown prince, he was a close minister around Cao Rui. It is precisely because of this that he was not involved in the Fuhua case.

Instead, he was promoted step by step, from Shangshu Lang to Luoyang Diannong, and another memorial to persuade farmers was promoted to the governor of Jingzhou.

When Shu Han rose strongly and Nanyang became a hot spot again, when the former governor of Jingzhou Hu Zhi died in battle, Cao Rui promoted him, a person with no battlefield experience, to such a position, which is enough to show that he valued him and also to be sufficient.

Causing criticism from others.

The Jingzhou War Zone was originally a war zone under Sima Yi's charge, and the Wuguan Dao was directly under Sima Yi. Now Cao Rui not only let Wu Qiu Jian be the governor of Jingzhou, but also let him be responsible for supervising Wuguan Dao. It was like cutting a piece of meat from Sima Yi's body.

, how can we not attract people to look at each other?

Wu Qiu Jian understood this, but he did not retreat. He wanted to prove his ability with an uncontroversial victory, prove that Emperor Cao Rui's decision was wise and block those people's mouths.

He was not afraid of the Shu Han army coming, he was afraid of the Shu Han army not coming.

As a result, the Shu Han army came, and there were many people, including infantry and nearly 10,000 naval troops. The only thing that made Wu Qiu Jian regret was that the commander-in-chief was Wei Feng, the general who was invaded by the enemy. Although his official position was high, his weight was not heavy enough.

Far from his father, General Wei Yan, General Zhenbei, and General Zhennan, Wei Feng.

"Oh, it's good to try the knife with this guy first." Wu Qiujian stood on the high observation deck, looked at the winding ship of the Shu Han Navy, and sighed softly.

He clenched his fists slowly, his eyes slightly raised, as if he was impatient with the glaring warm winter sun.
