Wei Yan's father and son were surprised, Wei Feng had been following Wei Yan and had never led troops alone, and suddenly, how could he let him lead his troops to the three eastern counties? Although only 2,000 soldiers were given to him, and the other 3,000 soldiers were supplemented to Zhuge Qiao, this love still made Wei Yan's father and son excited.

From the mouth of Ma Yan, who gave the order, Wei Yan knew that this love came from the reward of Wei Ba, and his heart was happy. After sending Ma Yan away, Wei Yan patted Wei Feng's shoulder vigorously: "Boy, your wings are stiff, you can fly solo." ”

Wei Feng smiled from ear to ear. Leading 2,000 soldiers is the rank of a captain, and it is rare to have such a thing as soon as you enter the ranks. And these are all earned for him by his younger brother Wei Ba, how can he not be happy.

Mrs. Zhang looked at the overjoyed father and son, happy and uneasy, and her mood was a little complicated. She pulled Wei Feng aside, muttered an instruction, and suddenly asked, "Do you know, Ziyu seems to like Huan'er very much." ”

Wei Feng didn't come back to his senses for a while, blinked his eyes, and replied naturally: "If Grandma has no opinion, just give it to him." ”

Mrs. Zhang raised her eyebrows: "Huan'er, this girl was raised by me since she was a child, but I was treated as half a daughter, so you can easily give it away?" ”

Wei Fenghan laughed twice and scratched his head: "Then what does Grandma say?" ”

"I'll ask for your opinion now."

"My opinion? If he likes it, give it to him. Wei Feng said indifferently.

"You don't like Huan'er?"

"I, I like it too, but Ziyu likes it, I'll give it to him, who made me my brother."

Mrs. Zhang was speechless, patted Wei Feng's face lovingly, touched his muscular arm, and sighed. She could see that Wei Feng's words were all out of her heart. Thinking of what Wei Ba said in front of her, she smiled silently, since this is the case, then I hope that their brothers can be good brothers for a lifetime.

"Well, you bring my words to him, and this time as long as your brother returns safely, I will give him Huan'er."

"Okay." Wei Feng answered, turned around and went out. He didn't care about anything at all now, he was bent on going to see the two thousand men and horses that the prime minister had allocated to him. He usually brought a lot of soldiers, but those were his father's subordinates, and people were polite to him, so they called him a major general, but in fact he was nothing. Now it's different, the captain's seal is already on his waist, and he has real subordinates.

After a brief preparation, Wei Feng took five thousand people on the road. According to the practice in the army, Wei Yan equipped him with 200 soldiers as personal guards, and more than 200 people were private soldiers of the Wei family, and they had only one task, to ensure Wei Feng's safety. For her own son, Mrs. Zhang was even more generous, she arranged for someone to rush back to Nanzheng quickly, prepared two hundred sets of new armor and ordnance, and handed them over to Wei Feng to equip the two hundred Wei family soldiers.

Even Wei Yan has never had such treatment. Wei Yan muttered a few words with some taste, but in front of Mrs. Zhang's Jiwei, he could only hide his opinions in his heart and pouted secretly.

……

Anyang, Wei Ba was anxious.

Although Zhuge Qiao accepted his suggestion, he didn't really take it seriously, and actually spent two days in Anyang before sending troops, and when he arrived at Xunkou, he knew that the development of things had been out of his control.

As Wei Ba expected, when Deng Xian left Anyang and returned to Fangling, Sima Yi was already on his way to Fangling, and he marched all the way, covering 1,200 miles in only eight days. An army of 30,000 suddenly appeared outside Fangling City and surrounded Fangling.

While besieging Fangling, Sima Yi considered that Shu Han might send reinforcements, and he ordered the general Hu Zun to lead 3,000 men to occupy Mulan Sai, thirty miles east of Xunkou, and ordered Shen Yi to hold Xunkou. Shen Yi has been operating in Xunkou for many years, the fortress is strong, and there are more than 2,000 people guarding the city, blocking Zhuge Qiao to the death, and it is difficult to move an inch.

Zhuge Qiao realized the seriousness of the situation at this time, and he immediately sent someone to Zhuge Liang for help, and when the messenger passed through Anyang, he brought Zhuge Qiao's message to Wei Ba. Now that he wants to attack the fortifications, he hopes that Wei Ba, who is familiar with siege equipment, will go to help.

As soon as Wei Ba heard this, he became angry. Crucial? Are you mistaken, just because you want to capture the mouth of 2,000 people to defend Xunkou? That's the nest that Shen Yi has been running for many years, can you capture it so easily? What's the use of siege equipment, unless Lao Tzu drags a few cannons for you now, no matter how powerful the siege equipment is, it will be in vain.

More importantly, it takes time to build siege equipment on site, and it is impossible to build a sufficient number of them without three or five days. Three or five days later, even if you are powerful, what if you break through Xunkou, and then attack Mulan Sai? According to this plan, if you can rush to Fangling in two months, you have the ability. Solidarity with Menda? Dream!

It was useless for Wei Ba to be in a hurry, Anyang only had a thousand soldiers, and it was useless to rush to the front line all of them. At this time, Wei Feng sent someone to deliver the news that I was on the order of the prime minister, and I was leading 5,000 people to arrive.

Wei Ba was overjoyed, but the joy was only because Wei Feng had the opportunity to lead the troops to fight, and it had nothing to do with the situation. With 5,000 more people, it is still impossible to reverse the unfavorable situation for the Shu army, and it is still impossible to quickly conquer Xunkou.

Wei Ba invited Zhao Guang, Elk Wei and Zhou Yu to discuss. Zhou Yu's words are cloudy, he is a lieutenant that Zhuge Qiao just arranged to cooperate with him, his father is called Zhou Cang, he was Guan Yu's subordinate before, whether it is the Zhou Cang who holds the knife in the romance, Wei Ba doesn't know very well. However, this kid does look a little like Zhou Cang in the play, in his thirties, with a thick beard, and he looks very powerful. Martial arts and Zhao Guang can't be compared, that is, the middle-class level, but they are brave enough and have a murderous spirit.

"First thing, reinforcements are coming, five thousand. Among them was my brother Wei Feng. ”

Zhao Guang and the others were happy at first, and then put away their smiles. They all know that 5,000 people are strong and strong, and they can't solve practical problems.

"The second thing is that we need to discuss a solution to the current dilemma. If these 5,000 people were simply sent to Xunkou, it would not be of great help to the battle situation. ”

Zhao Guang said: "Ziyu, what jihua do you have?" ”

"I don't have any jihua yet. I only know that if I don't think about it, the Prime Minister's Northern Expedition will definitely be affected. ”

Zhao Guang was a little embarrassed. Wei Ba didn't accept Zhuge Qiao's orders, but he didn't have any feasible jihua himself, what should he do?

Elway hugged his arms and raised his eyelids: "Since there is no way, then let's find a way together, in a word, we won't go to Xunkou." ”

Wei Ba glanced at him and didn't say anything. Who knows if Elk Wei is making trouble for the sake of making trouble with Zhuge Qiao. This guy has a brain in business, and he can't be counted on because he can't fight wars.

"Can we take a detour to Shangyong and rush from Shangyong to Fangling?" Zhou Yu asked a little timidly. This expression really didn't match his rugged face.

Zhao Guang immediately rejected his opinion. "I'm afraid not, there are indeed roads from Xicheng to Shangyong, but those roads are all mountain roads, small groups of people can walk, the army is inconvenient, and it is impossible to carry large baggage, and it is far from enough to carry it alone."

Zhou Yu sighed and was silent.

Wei Ba also thought about Zhou Yu's method, and originally thought that it could be a strange move, but after basic calculations, he also gave up this jihua. As Zhao Guang said, this road is not suitable for the movement of large armies, and it is difficult to guarantee that it will arrive in Fang County in time.

"I think so." Elk Wei stared at the map for a long time, and suddenly said: "When we go to Fangling, we don't have to relieve Meng Da. What worries me most now is that Meng Da is not prepared enough, and his psychology quickly collapses under Sima Yi's onslaught. As long as we appear around Fangling, it will be enough for Meng Da to boost his morale and help him survive this time. In this case, the role of a small group of people is not necessarily much worse than that of a large army. ”

Wei Ba's eyes tightened, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He found himself used to deduction these days, and his thinking was a bit mechanical. I have been thinking about either attacking Xunkou or taking other roads to Fangling, focusing on the battle, but I didn't expect that psychological support was also very important for Meng Da at this time.

In other words, he focuses too much on the comparison of objective conditions and ignores the subjective psychology. Elway is not very familiar with combat, but he is good at business, and the most important thing is psychological tactics, or how to call it no business and no treachery.

Elway's words opened up a new way of thinking, and Wei Ba's brain immediately started to run rapidly, and the factors of the two sides were quickly compared in his mind, and a new plan was quickly drawn.

"We took the mediocre road, and then the soldiers split into two ways. One way is dominated by barbarians and Qiang people who are proficient in mountain walking, crossing Zhushan and Baima Mountain, going straight to Fangling, supporting Meng Da, and the other way to the north of Shangyong, behind Mulan Sai, attacking Mulan Sai from behind. ”

Zhao Guang squinted his eyes and thought for a while: "Mulan Sai is not easy to fight, 5,000 people, you have to divide the army into two roads, and go over mountains and mountains, it is difficult to hide your whereabouts, even if you get to Mulansai, you can't attack it." I think it's better to go around to the back of Xunkou first, defeat Shen Yi, and then rush to Mulan Sai with the whole army, the victory rate will be much greater. ”

Wei Ba shook his head: "Although your plan is safe, it is too serious. Mulan Sai and Xunkou are thirty miles apart, which is the position of the front and rear armies. With Shen Yi in front of him, Mulansai's Wei army should be very relieved. Break Shen Yi first, firstly, it will delay time, and secondly, it will give Mulan Sai's Wei army a warning in advance, Zuihou can only attack, but it is not beautiful. If we attack them first, and if we attack them unprepared, the chances of victory will be greater. In case they find out and the surprise attack fails, we can also attack Xunkou in turn, and it won't take much time. ”

"I think Wei Senjun has a point." Elway chimed in: "We suddenly appeared in Mulan Sai, and the shock to the enemy is even greater. Not only Wei Jun will be surprised, but even Shen Yi will be nervous. It should be easier to win than to attack Xun directly. ”

Zhao Guang thought for a moment and accepted Wei Ba's jihua: "Then how to divide the labor?" ”

"You and Zilie guard Anyang." Wei Ba said: "Yun Yang and I are moving with the army. "—————— ask for collections, ask for recommendations!
