At the end of the twelfth lunar month, in the peaceful atmosphere of the New Year approaching, Nanyang was murderous and the situation was tense. Sun Quan led an army of 20,000 northwards and headed straight to Yiyang. At the same time, Lu Xun sent troops to attack Lu'an, but Man Chong could not support him and broke through.

And left. When Zhang He heard that Liu's safety was in danger, he hurriedly returned to the rescue. He had just left, and Sun Shao launched a fierce attack on Wang Ling again. Zhang He was in a dilemma. While he was hesitating, he received Cao Rui's order: return to Nanyang immediately.

Zhang He had no choice but to let go of Wang Ling and Man Chong and rushed to Nanyang at night.

Halfway through, he encountered Lu Xun, and the two sides confronted each other from afar. Lu Xun was ready for battle. Zhang He did not find a breakthrough, so he had to go away. Lu Xun rushed westward, rushed to Yiyang, and attacked Sun Quan on both sides.

In front of the Wu army's fierce attack, Le Feng couldn't hold on and had to abandon the gate and leave.

After Sun Quan met with Lu Xun, he divided his troops again. Lu Xun rushed towards Kunyang, while Sun Quan turned west and headed straight towards Xinye.

Cao Rui received reports from Zhang He and Le Jin one after another. He learned that Yuzhou and Yangzhou were in a tight position. He heard that Lu Xun was preparing to seize Kunyang. Sun Quan rushed to Xinye again, preparing to meet with Li Yan and Ma Su, and could no longer hold back. Sima Yi

Although there were 30,000 soldiers, there were 80,000 Han and Wu coalition forces besieged him now. He could not support it with just a small Fancheng. In order to avoid the annihilation of Sima Yi's entire army, Cao Rui had to order Sima Yi to give up Fancheng and retreat to Wan

city.

As soon as Sima Yi retreated, Li Yan took Fancheng into his possession, led his troops north, and successfully recovered Xinye, Jingyang, Jiyang and other counties, and the troops arrived at Wancheng.

Before they arrived in Xinye, they received good news. Lu Xun defeated the mangirl again in Zhaoling and easily defeated Chen Qun who came to support him. He killed more than ten thousand soldiers and pointed directly at Kunyang City. Some people cut off the Wei army's retreat.

possible.

Immediately afterwards, Sun Shao heard good news. He defeated Wang Ling in Huaiyin, advanced along the water and land, and pushed the front through Huai River for the first time.

The Wu army's unstoppable offensive greatly encouraged the morale of the Han and Wu coalition forces and greatly damaged Cao Rui's confidence. Cao Rui had to accept Sima Yi's suggestion, and Sima Yi led an army of 30,000 to defend Wancheng, while he retreated to Kunyang.

When Li Yan and others arrived at Wancheng, Cao Rui had already entered Kunyang City, and with him there were more than 10,000 elite cavalry led by Zhang He.

After Cao Rui arrived in Kunyang, he did not stay for too long. He handed over the army to Zhang He and rushed back to Luoyang with Chen Qun. The war in Nanyang was unfavorable, and the Jianghuai fell one after another. The people of Luoyang were in a state of fluctuation and had reached a point that could not be ignored.

, He must rush back to Luoyang to take charge of the overall situation.

Now, only Wancheng was left in front of the Han and Wu coalition forces, and the 30,000 Wei troops in the city.

But Wancheng is not easy to attack.

Although there are no mountains and ridges around Wancheng, Wancheng itself is very solid, the city is strong enough, and the number of defenders is large enough. Sima Yi has been operating in Wancheng for many years, and Cao Rui has entered Wancheng many times. Wancheng's city defense facilities

Very complete. If you attack strongly, the losses will inevitably be amazing.

With most of the investments in JAC, although Sun Quan has arrived in Wancheng, it is still unrealistic to try his best to help Li Yan capture Wancheng without paying a price. Li Yan knows this.

In the Ming Dynasty, he invited Wei Ba and Ma Su to discuss how to break through Wancheng.

Sun Quan also sent representatives Zhuge Ke and Hu Zong. Zhuge Ke was Zhuge Liang's follower and a young general who Sun Quan placed high hopes on, while Hu Zong was Sun Quan's confidant for many years, and his loyalty was beyond doubt.

Of course, Fei Yi and Zhang Wen, as contact persons of both parties, naturally had to attend.

More than ten people gathered together, surrounded by the sand table, looking at the miniature Wancheng in the middle, gathering together in groups of three or three, whispering to each other.

Li Yan was in a good mood. Wei Ba didn't know what method he used. After only staying in Xianshan for half a month, Sun Quan honestly sent troops to help. As soon as Sun Quan sent troops, he broke the balance of the situation in Nanyang, and Cao Rui gave up obediently.

Fancheng, the once out of reach, is now in front of him. As long as Wancheng is captured, Nanyang will be his, but Zhuge Liang does not know when he will conquer Ji County and complete the strategic goal of the Northern Expedition.

It seems that he finally had the chance to snatch Zhuge Liang.

What made him even happier was that although he didn't know what Wei Ba used to make Sun Quan so obedient, he could guess that Zhuge Liang must have suffered a defeat in this open and secret struggle. He was very happy that Zhuge Liang could suffer a defeat.

So now he has a very good attitude towards Wei Ba. As for whether Wei Ba will be retaliated by Zhuge Liang in the future, that is not something he cares about.

Of course, if Wei Ba could help him conquer Wancheng, he would not mind saying a few fair words for Wei Ba without harming his interests.

"Ziyu, you are a famous siege. Tell me quickly and see how you can conquer Wancheng."

Wei Ba shook his head repeatedly: "The cavalry is joking. I can't be considered a famous siege. I happened to break several cities. It was all due to luck, and it was caused by luck. There were two masters, the cavalry and the horse chief.

So, where do I need to speak? I just wait to accept the order."

Ma Su smiled and took over the conversation: "Ziyu, the cavalry is right. Yan Guan and Nanxiang are not that easy to attack. You have taken it. Now you want to attack Wancheng and achieve the final blow of the cavalry.

, don’t be modest. If you have any good suggestions, it will open our eyes. Even if there is anything wrong, it doesn’t matter. Just discuss with each other. Haven’t you always advocated broadening your opinions and expressed your opinions?"

After hearing this, everyone started to make excuses. Although Wei Ba kept hiding behind and refused to lead Tuanshui to defeat the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, everyone understood people and knew very well who was the real hero.

Sun Luban, wearing armor and sitting beside Zhao Tong, wrinkled his nose and leaned over to Zhao Tong and said, "Husband, when will you be able to respond like him?"

Zhao Tong smiled but said nothing, but just patted Sun Luban gently under the desk with his hand, indicating that she should not be too troublesome. There are so many people here, if she makes a joke, not only will his face be lost, but

Even Sun Quan had no face.

Wei Ba couldn't refuse, so he had to stand up. He coughed, waved his hand, and the tent suddenly became quiet. Wei Ba bowed slightly, greeted Li Yan and Ma Su first, turned around, and then pointed at Sun Luban.

He nodded, then greeted Zhuge Ke and Hu Zong, and then glanced at other generals, gentle but majestic, approachable but not frivolous.

"Since the cavalry and the chief minister asked me to say it first, I will not be fooled and throw away bricks and jade." Wei Ba chuckled softly: "You are all people here who have been through the battlefield for a long time, and even the princesses are heroes among women, with soldiers.

The holy relic, women are not as good as men, so naturally they all know that although Wancheng is big, it is already an isolated city. Since it is an isolated city, there is no reason to be unbreakable. The only difference lies in the length of time."

Everyone nodded. Although this sentence is plain, it is not easy to make. When Sun Luban heard Wei Ba praise her, he was even more handsome and raised his head high, as if he had really become a hero of the women who had been through the battlefield for a long time.

Wei Ba paused and continued, "What's more, Wancheng is not without old examples. As far as I know, the Taiwei and Jiangdong famous general Zhu Gong once defeated the Yellow Turban in Wancheng. Although the city is not the Yellow Turban.

However, Cao Rui was already in a panic, and Sima Yi was just a fish swimming under the cauldron, not much better than the Yellow Turban. I believe that with the elite Jiangdong led by the King of Wu, we were under the command of the cavalry and the horse chief.

We will definitely be able to conquer Wancheng, and achieve our full contributions, lay a solid foundation for the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, the restoration of the Han Dynasty, and realize the unfulfilled wish of Guan Hou at that time."

Wei Ba turned around and picked up a glass of wine, raised it high, and said loudly: "Let us wait, first use this wine to pay homage to the spirit of Guan Hou in heaven. After breaking through Wancheng, he would build a temple to him and all the sages who went through fire and water for the Han Dynasty.

Remembrance.”

Li Yan frowned, hesitated for a moment, but stood up and said loudly: "Ziyu is right, everyone, please raise your glass."

The Shu Han army looked at each other, their eyes were a little joking. They raised their wine glasses one by one, but they all turned their eyes to Zhuge Ke and others. Guan Yu finally died at the hands of the Wu people. Wei Ba was very proud of Guan Yu at this moment.

Zhang Ming also said that in the future, he would build a temple for Guan Yu to commemorate his merits, and the Wu people raised their glasses to pay tribute to Guan Yu. This would be a slap in the face of Wu. When will the Han Dynasty be restored, where will the Wu Kingdom be placed?

Is it destroyed or what? Is it a temple for Guan Yu to commemorate it, then the people of Wu are not sinners for the ages?

Hu Zong remained silent, his face looked a little ugly, and he sat there for a long time without moving. Wei Ba looked at him and said with a smile: "What, don't Hu Jun want to break through Wancheng?"

Hu Zong coughed twice and avoided answering. However, Zhuge Ke stood up calmly, raised the wine glass in his hand, and smiled slightly: "General Zhennan is right, the trajectory of the car ahead, the traits of the car behind, I

Should follow the example of Zhu Gong, and also remember Guan Hou, always remember the lesson of "harmony of harmony" and "harmony of division" and "harmony of division" and "harmony of words and actions, and strive to attack Wei, and seek peace for the people of the world. If you do not know the general, you will hurt Wu

It would be bad for Han to be kind. General Zhennan, do you think so?"

Hu Zong breathed a sigh of relief and his face relaxed. Zhuge Ke refuted Wei Ba calmly and warned Wei Ba that you should learn from Zhu Gong, but remember how Guan Yu died, be careful of his words and actions, otherwise

The consequences are unpredictable. Guan Yu's death was because he destroyed the alliance first and took the blame. If you learn from him now and hurt the harmony between Han and Wu, you will die as ugly as Guan Yu.

Li Yan's face was slightly depressed. These two people were facing each other and they were really going to turn their faces. If there was another dispute between Han and Wu, the biggest loss was him. He had no interest in commemorating Guan Yu, and he didn't want to be Guan Yu. But he also knew,

At this moment, he needed Wei Ba to contribute to him. If he was disrespectful to Guan Yu, he would not give Wei Ba face.

Li Yan remained silent, paid careful attention to the development of things and saw how Wei Ba dealt with it.

Wei Ba hailed secretly, and the guy really kissed his lips. He said this without any leakage, and it was really not easy to hide a needle in the cotton.

"Hahaha... that's exactly that." Wei Ba raised his cup and shouted loudly: "Please let the gods of heaven and earth learn together. If anyone who swears to rebel against the alliance, people and gods will kill them together!"
