Chapter 990: It's a Matter of Course
Yin Fan hurriedly walked into Wei Ba's big tent and glanced at Wei Ba, but did not speak.
Wei Ba was listening to Sun Song, who came from Linzi, to report on the battle situation, and heard the footsteps of Yinbo coming in, but he didn't hear Yinbo speak, so he couldn't help but be a little curious. However, he didn't say anything, quietly listened to Sun Song's words, pondered for a moment, and said: "Sun Gongli is well-arranged, I very much agree with his opinion." However, Sun Fengxian's temper has to be changed, and the courage of a general is not to kill the enemy in battle, but to take responsibility. ”
Sun Song smiled: "What the general said is very true, but his temper ......"
"You go back and tell him that if you do this again, I will transfer him to be my personal guard."
Sun Song was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed down to thank him. Wei Ba's personal guards are of course his cronies, and when Wei Ba said this, he expressed his full trust in Sun Shao and Sun Shao, even if it was just a kind word. In this attack on Qingzhou, Wei Ba led his army to block Xiahou Ba, but handed over the heavy task of attacking Linzi to Sun Shao, which was itself a strong support for Sun Ce's family. In doing so, of course, he meant to weaken Sun Quan, but for Sun Shao and Sun Shao, this was a great opportunity.
For Sun Shao, being Wei Ba's personal guard is certainly majestic, but he has no chance to fight on the front line, and he probably won't like it. Coupled with his respect for Wei Ba, this temper that goes into battle in person can be somewhat controlled.
Therefore, Wei Ba's words expressed two meanings, how could Sun Song not be grateful.
Sun Song withdrew from the big tent, Wei Bacai raised his head, looked at Yinbo, and saw that Yinbo had a colorful face, and couldn't help but laugh: "Yuanfeng." What kind of surprise did you get today, you are so out of shape. ”
Yinbo is a scholar, a scholar must first cultivate his self-cultivation, Taishan collapsed in front of him and his face did not change, and it was precisely because of this kind of heart that he could be in the middle, and now he can preside over the confidential affairs around Wei Ba. For a person like him, it is difficult for his emotions to fluctuate without enough weight.
"General, you see. You'll be pleasantly surprised, too. Yin Fan sent a thick dossier to Wei Ba. Wei Ba opened suspiciously. At the top was a briefing, and Wei Ba was stunned after only glancing at the beginning.
The corners of his mouth twitched: "Really? ”
"It has been verified, and it is true."
Wei Ba quickly read the briefing, and then followed the map again. I looked at some of the key detailed reports. After the most rubble pressed the thick dossier. His eyes were constricted, and he wanted to laugh, but he didn't laugh. Just grinning at the corners of his mouth.
"It's really amazing."
"That's true." Yin Fan smiled.
"It's a big matter, and if you check it carefully, you must not miss anything. This matter must be knocked to death before it can be measured. ”
"Whoa." Yin Fan bowed and retreated. Wei Ba stroked the file on the case, and finally laughed out loud. He immediately had someone call Yu Yan and inform him of the incident.
When Yu Yan heard this, his eyes widened: "General, in this way, Xiahou Ba can be broken without a fight." ”
"It's not that easy." Wei Ba smiled: "If you want to subdue people like Xiahou Ba, you have to come to martial arts first, and then talk about it after you conquer it." Shihong, Buqi will soon go north and attack Linzi with Sun Shao. We have to enter the position in advance, block Xiahou Ba, and protect the flanks of Buqi, so that he and Sun Shao can act calmly. ”
Yu Yan nodded and said, "That's right." I'm going to consult with the strategists and come up with a plan as soon as possible. He glanced at the file and said, "With this news, our plan will be slightly revised. ”
The two looked at each other and smiled.
……
Gu Yong walked into the palace, walked to Sun Quan, who was practicing cloud hands by the pool, and stood quietly, looking at Sun Quan with appreciative eyes.
Sun Quan's cloud hands are practiced very beautifully, flowing smoothly, and turning freely, he doesn't look like a noble king, but he has a bit of fairy wind bones. It's just that when he stopped and raised his eyebrows, the originally warm and peaceful face suddenly revealed a bit of hidden domineering, which was daunting.
"The king's complexion is getting better and better." Gu Yong praised quietly: "It seems that this cloud hand is indeed in line with the principle of the Great Dao to the simple line. ”
Sun Quan glanced at him, and said in words: "To cultivate the Tao, you must not only have a Taoist heart, but also have leisure. Only idlers can cultivate the Tao. Gu Gong, I am a rich idler, you can't compare to this. ”
Gu Yong smiled slightly, ignoring the resentment in Sun Quan's words.
"Gu Gong is in a good mood, could it be because his grandson has returned to save his relatives?" Sun Quan sighed secretly and softened his breath. Now it is not what it used to be, he, the king of Wu, has become an empty king, Gu Yong and these families want to be loyal to the Son of Heaven, or rush to form an alliance with Wei Ba, and few people are willing to take care of him. Gu Yong has a grandson in Guanzhong and a grandson by Wei Ba's side, and it is already rare to be able to look at him at this time.
"Yes, Zizhi came back from Qingzhou and brought some news." Gu Yong nodded, and followed Sun Quan to start a walk by the fish pond. "The king, the general of the chariot cavalry is very concerned about the king's family."
"How so?" Sun Quan said casually. He doesn't have a good impression of Wei Ba, and he can't talk about any bad feelings now.
Gu Yong told Sun Quan about the battle of Linzi presided over by Sun Shao, and then told Sun Quan about the current situation of Sun Song, Sun Tai and other children of the Sun family, and finally talked about the current situation. Wei Ba wants to seize Qingxu by force, and now he wants to transfer the armies of Buqi and Ma Zhong to the north.
Sun Quan's brows kept twisting. Gu Yong's meaning, he already understood, but he was a little indignant.
Wei Ba's support for Sun Ce's family was naturally to weaken his Sun Quan's strength. Gu Yong came here at this moment to remind him of his current predicament, and even more so to tell him about the opportunity in front of him. Wei Ba needed Buqi's help, but Buqi was his subordinate. If he can take the initiative to show goodwill, it will not be an opportunity to make peace with Wei Ba.
Besides, things have come to this point, if you don't let go of the steps, won't the steps go? In the face of the interests of the family, how can you expect Bu Qiu to go all the way with you? It's not just that he doesn't have any greater benefits for Bu Qi now, but more importantly, he no longer has the strength to hurt Bu Qi, but Wei Ba has enough strength, if Bu Qi doesn't comply, he may uproot the Bu family and throw it into the garbage heap with his Sun Quan.
Pursuing advantages and avoiding disadvantages is one thing, and avoiding harm is another. In a way, the latter is more important than the former. This is because there are many people who can not cooperate, but few people dare to stand up against it. If you don't cooperate, at most you will be unprofitable, and you will oppose it, but you will realize that it will be harmful.
The Jiangdong family cooperated with Sun Quan, and a few of them were willing, but Sun Quan had strength in his hands at that time, and if they did not cooperate, they would be purged and suppressed. They can not pursue profits, but they cannot afford to be harmed, so they are forced to cooperate. Now that the right to harm has been transferred to Wei Ba, the initiative has of course been transferred to Wei Ba.
What else could he say? It's useless to say anything.
"Gu Gong thinks, what should I do?" Sun Quan stopped and faced Gu Yong. This is no longer the attitude of the king towards his subordinates, but the attitude of the younger generation when they are asked for advice by the elders.
"The king is the king of Wu of the Han Dynasty, and now the court is trying to decide the world in a war, how can the king stand by? If you hand over the forbidden army of Wu to Buqi, Buqi is the general of the king, and if he goes on the expedition, it will be the king's expedition. If there is an inch of merit, the king will also be honored. At that time, whether it is Your Majesty or the general of the chariot cavalry, how can you not be grateful to the king's fist? ”
The corners of Sun Quan's eyes twitched, and after pondering for a long time, he nodded: "Gu Gong Gao sees it, Gu Zheng has this intention." ”
In Wu County, there are more than 10,000 elites of the Wu Kingdom, which is Sun Quan's most powerful armed power, and it is also his most powerful capital. Now, Gu Yong reminded him that staying in Wu County with these 10,000 people would not solve any problems, so it was better to hand it over to Bu Qi and let him lead these people to listen to Wei Ba's orders. Bu Qi is Mrs. Bu's uncle, your cronies, he has made meritorious contributions, which is beneficial to the Bu family and to you. At least Wei Ba will no longer treat you as an enemy and wholeheartedly support Sun Ce's family. In the future, I may not be able to target you again.
Gu Yong mentioned the Son of Heaven and Wei Ba, but he didn't mention Zhuge Liang. How could Sun Quan not understand the meaning of this.
The situation is out of control, and this may be the last chance for Sun Quan and Wei Ba to reconcile. Once Sun Quan made up his mind, he no longer hesitated, and immediately summoned the guard general Quan Cong to lead the more than 10,000 elites, and hurried to Huaiyin to join Buqi. At the same time, he summoned Gu Cheng and handed him a sincere letter to Gu Cheng, asking him to forward it to Wei Ba.
Gu Cheng's task was successfully completed. When saying goodbye, he seemed to inadvertently remind Sun Quan: "King, the prince is in Chang'an, but be careful." Chang'an is windy, be careful of being invaded by evil winds. ”
Sun Quan nodded repeatedly.
……
Xiahou Ba sighed, slapped his palm heavily on the case, and shook the pen and ink on the case.
He had just received news that Wei Ba had moved his defenses, and his 10,000 troops, including 5,000 heavy armored cavalry, had moved to Fenggao, Taishan County. When Xiahou Ba received the news, he guessed what Wei Ba wanted to do. He will block his way eastward.
The road there is naturally behind Linzi City. Wei Ba didn't go himself, but someone would go soon. Once the army reached the city of Linzi and cut off Wang Ling's retreat, the general attack on Linzi was about to begin.
Wei Ba personally blocked the reinforcements with the respect of a chariot general, which was the importance of his Xiahou Ba and the Battle of Linzi. He provided Sun Shao and others with the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and through them to reunite the hearts of the people of Wu. After this battle, a large number of Jiangdong civil and military generals tended to Wei Ba, and the south of the river was owned by Wei Ba.
But he couldn't imagine that in the face of the main force led by Wei Ba himself, he had no chance of winning.
Those who are good at fighting have no great feats. Wei Ba seems to be a bland shift of defense, but because of his strong strength, he shows his ability to influence the battle situation, and he doesn't need to make too many moves at all.
It's all about strength. Without strength, you can only be at the mercy of others. Only with strength can you lift weights lightly
