Chapter 565: The Storm is Coming

Zhu Ji walked into the big tent and saw that Lu Xun was eating porridge, so he stopped at the door.

"What's the matter?" Lu Xun put down his chopsticks and asked while wiping his mouth with a cloth.

"General, today's casualty figures are out."

"Show me." Lu Xun stretched out his hand to take it, glanced at it, and put it on the side of the desk, a little silent. There is no need to look at these figures, in the two attacks, except for dozens of baggage soldiers who withdrew in advance, almost no life survived. Lu Xun thought for a while: "What is the situation in the camp?" ”

"Fortunately, although it is a little depressing, it is quite stable."

Lu Xun paused, and then asked, "How is the other side?" ”

"It's a lot of noise, as if it's a celebration." Zhu Ji snorted and said, "Let them live one more day, after fighting again tomorrow, I'm afraid they won't be in the mood." ”

"Gongxu, do you really think they're just celebrating?" Pan Jun walked in from outside, just heard Zhu Ji's words, laughed, walked to the opposite side of Lu Xun, and beckoned to the guards standing aside: "Porridge, is there anything else?" ”

Lu Xun's personal guards hurriedly filled him with a bowl of porridge and sent it over, Pan Jun took it, and drank it all after two sips. He wiped his mouth, glanced at Zhu Ji, who was stunned there, with a surprised face, and couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Zhuzi, didn't you teach you?" This is Wei Ba reassuring people's hearts. After the war, it is necessary to let the soldiers drink bitterly to relieve tension and disperse the violence, otherwise it is easy to cause a roaring camp. ”

Zhu Ji suddenly realized, and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you for the general's teaching." His father was Zhu Ran, who was Sun Ce's confidant back then. is a classmate with Sun Quan again, and the backstage is so hard that no one dares to mess with it. It is precisely because of this that he does not take Zhuge Ke in his eyes. But in the face of Pan Jun, he didn't dare to go too far. Pan Jun has a straightforward personality, and even Zhu Ran wants to give him three points. Pan Jun said two words to him, and he could only continue, not to mention that Pan Jun was pointing out his way to lead the troops.

Lu Xun handed over the casualty report, Pan Jun looked at it, and muttered: "The casualties are not small." “

"Well, Wei Ba's mechanical skills are brilliant. He built a lot of thunderbolts. Caused us a lot of trouble. Three of the ten siege trucks were destroyed, the other seven were badly damaged and had to be overhauled, and more than half of the trench trucks were lost. The consumption rate was faster than I expected. Lu Xun moved his wrist: "If it weren't for these thunderbolts." I'll take his first line today. ”

"Thunderbolt is mighty. But if the consumption of stone bullets is too large, he can't hold on for long. Pan Jun comforted: "Our thunderbolt is about to be modified, right?" ”

Lu Xun nodded, then shook his head again. "The soldiers of the baggage battalion have seen it from afar. But I didn't see anything useful. Wei Ba is well hidden, and there is a bamboo fence in front of each thunderbolt, which can not only block arrows, but also seem to be used to prevent us from stealing teachers. In addition, it was too far away to see clearly, and the craftsmen did not know how to launch as fast and accurate as he did. Lu Xun frowned slightly, a little regretful, under Xiangyang City, if he hadn't turned his face with Wei Ba so quickly, maybe he would have had the opportunity to see the thunderbolt car built by Wei Ba up close, and now there is no need to temporarily steal the teacher.

Pan Jun's eyes flashed, and when he saw Zhu Ji still standing aside, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Anything else?" ”

"Oh, no." Zhu Jizheng listened attentively, and was reminded by Pan Jun, and then he came to his senses. He was a little reluctant to leave, and it was a very rare opportunity for him to hear the two generals discuss the war with his own ears. But Pan Jun said so, and he was embarrassed not to leave.

"Bo Yan, the loss in one day is more than a thousand, and this price is not small." Pan Jun rubbed his fingers, "Shouldn't you adjust the rhythm?" ”

Lu Xun smiled: "Don't worry, let's talk about it in a few days." Although Wei Ba is tenacious, he has not exceeded my expectations, and I want to see how long he can last. ”

Pan Jun didn't say anything more.

……

Wuchang.

Fei Yi leaned against the balcony and threw a piece of cake crumbs into the water, and a few small fish swam over, causing a ripple on the surface of the water. The little fish scrambled to be the first to eat, and soon ate the crumbs clean, and then swam away wagging their tails. Only one small fish spun around twice without giving up, and did not eat anything, so it reluctantly swam away and chased after its companion.

"Megumi, you see, it's too late, and I can't even eat some leftovers." Fei Yi smiled at Zhang Wen.

"I'm having a big meal right now." Zhang Wen picked up a piece of mutton and put it in his mouth, deliberately chewing it in a big gulp. "Wen Wei, don't look at the fish, you won't even have to eat the leftovers later."

Fei Yi turned his head and looked at Zhang Wen and smiled. "I'm in such a hurry to eat, and I'm not afraid of choking?"

"Don't be afraid, I believe in Lu Boyan's appetite." Zhang Wen said with a smile: "Back then, he could swallow Liu Zhaolie's 40,000 army in one bite, and today he can also swallow Wei Ba's 30,000 army in one bite." He raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "You don't think Wei Ba can use soldiers better than you Liu Zhaolie, right?" ”

Fei Yi snorted, stood up, walked to the side of the desk, picked up the wine glass, and pondered for a moment, then smiled: "Huishu, do you know that the latter is not as good as the former?" Wei Ba's record is no worse than that of Emperor Zhaolie. ”

Zhang Wen hahadaxiao: "Okay, you Fei Wenwei, in order to relieve Wei Ba, you actually said such a thing, and you should be punished." ”

Fei Yi didn't smile, he stared at Zhang Wen, and after a long time, he said word by word: "Zhang Huishu, don't blame me for reminding you." Wei Ba was defeated, but it was just his own business, at best, plus the hundreds of episodes of Wei Guan and Zhao's family, it was just a drop in the bucket for my Han, and it could even be said that there were no disadvantages. But if Lu Boyan is defeated, you ...... Hehe, but the outlook is not good. ”

Zhang Wen's eyes flashed, and then he said: "You're right, but I don't see how Lu Boyan could be defeated." I think it's a great opportunity. Speaking of which, I would like to thank you for sending such a great achievement to him, come, I thank you for Lu Boyan. ”

"Great work?" A flash of disappointment flashed in Fei Yi's eyes, and the smile on his face was a little unnatural. He picked up his wine glass and touched it with Zhang Wen. The wine is very fragrant, but it is a little bitter in the mouth. When Zhang Wen saw it, he also put away his smile and lowered his voice: "Wen Wei, it's time to let go." After two years of fighting, we have suffered a lot, and the prime minister's jihua has been successfully completed, so why do we have to hand over the state? The king has already promised to share the Jiaozhou trade with you, why can't you let a step? Persuade Wei Ba to quit Jiaozhou, and stay in Wuling in peace. Jiaozhou's piece of meat was too big for him to swallow. ”

Fei Yi smacked his lips, his smile a little bitter.

Zhang Wen was stunned for a moment and realized something: "Is it the meaning of the prime minister?" ”

Fei Yi was stunned for a moment, and shook his head again and again: "No, I haven't received a reply from the prime minister yet." ”

Zhang Wen crooked his mouth: "However, you already know what the prime minister wants, but you don't want to see this result now, so it's contradictory, right?" ”

"Nonsense." Fei Yi flatly denied it.

Zhang Wen raised his hand and interrupted Fei Yi: "We know each other and know each other, so we don't have to hide it from each other." Wen Wei, I advise you, if you really feel sorry for Wei Ba, let him withdraw immediately. From here to Linhe, it will be three days away, and you should still have a chance to catch up. If we delay any longer, I am afraid it will be too late. Not only can't you get it in Jiaozhou, but even Wuling has to spit it out. ”

Fei Yi was startled, raised his head and looked at Zhang Wen, but Zhang Wen didn't say anything, lowered his head, and concentrated on dealing with the plate of mutton. Fei Yi rolled his eyes, got up from the seat, came to Zhang Wen's side, lowered his voice, and said with a forced smile: "You want to recapture Wuling?" ”

Zhang Wen glanced at him: "Since the two sides are at war again, of course the previous covenant is invalid, and it is justified for us to attack Yizhou, not to mention recapture Wuling." Fei Wenwei, do you think you have a mechanical wizard like Wei Ba? We also have one in Koto. ”

Fei Yi's eyes were slightly cold, he understood Zhang Wen's reminder, straightened his waist, took a deep breath, and slowly spit it out, his eyes flickered, and his expression flickered.

"Don't hesitate any longer." Zhang Wen said softly: "Don't meet me anymore, I have already committed a taboo when I came out to see you this time." If you are seen by those school officials, you will go to prison again. Fei Wenwei, you can't harm me. ”

"Don't worry." Fei Yi nodded solemnly: "You treat me as a friend, of course I won't harm you." ”

Zhang Wen put down his chopsticks and smiled bitterly: "Why did I listen to your words, but I was a little creepy?" ”

"That's because you're scared." Fei Yi glared at him and couldn't help laughing. But after laughing twice, he felt a little bored again, and put away his smile awkwardly. He walked to the railing, looked in the northwest direction, let out a long sigh, and secretly shouted in his heart: "Prime Minister, you should give a letter, otherwise it will be too late." As soon as Wei Ba is defeated, the Wu people will counterattack. ”

……

Zhao Tong snorted lightly, and the spear stabbed out like lightning, but it missed a few points and failed to stab the hanging empty ring. The empty ring shook, as if mocking Zhao Tong's incompetence.

Zhao Tong withdrew his spear in frustration and narrowed his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Pan Ziyu walked over, wiped the sweat on Zhao Tong's forehead with a handkerchief, and quipped: "Still thinking about the princess?" ”

"I don't have it." Zhao Tong retorted with insufficient confidence: "I'm worried about the war in Linhe. ”

"Really?" Pan Ziyu lowered her eyelids and looked at her flat lower abdomen. "But the princess is pregnant, and maybe your first child."

"Even if it's the first child, it's a concubine." Zhao Tong handed over the spear to the guard, put his arm around Pan Ziyu's shoulder, and walked towards the hall. "Ziyu, you are the wife I am marrying, no matter who it is, it will not change all this. Father is full of praise for you, what are you afraid of? ”

"I'm not afraid." Pan Ziyu raised his head and looked at a wax plum in the corner, and his nasal voice was a little heavy. She thought for a while, and then said, "I'm also worried about the war in Linhe, and Daddy is also there." ”

Zhao Tong sighed and didn't say anything more. At this time, Liao An walked in, and Pan Ziyu hurriedly broke free from Zhao Tong, saluted Liao An, and retreated into the inner hall. Liao An was not in the mood to explain, walked up to Zhao Tong, and said in a low voice: "General, there may be an abnormal movement in the Buqi Division. ”

Zhao Tong's eyebrows jumped, and he turned around and pulled Liao An into the study.

Pan Ziyu sat in the room and heard the sound of the study door closing, and Dai frowned slightly...... (To be continued......)
