Chapter 506: It's Time to Accept Now
As soon as he entered the city, Wei Ba had Zhao Tong called and gave him a task. "Give you half a day to transport grain, no matter how much you can move, after half a day, set a fire, burn all the grain here, not a single grain is left, and then withdraw from Chenyang."
Zhao Tong was puzzled. "Weishenme doesn't stick to Chenyang? With soldiers and food, we can hold Chenyang. ”
Wei Ba smiled bitterly: "Can you hold it for a month, two months, can you hold it for half a year?" ”
Zhao Tong shook his head, but he was still puzzled: "It's enough to keep it for two months, why do you need to keep it for half a year." ”
Wei Ba didn't explain. He wants to divide Wuling County, you can imagine what kind of attitude Zhuge Liang will have. Once Zhuge Liang felt that he was too dangerous and wanted to send them to Wuling, then the next battle would not be easy, but more cruel. He didn't have anyone, except for Wuximan, it was Zhao Tong and Guan Feng, and he didn't want anyone to have an accident.
Now that there are soldiers in the food, it is true that Chenyang can be held, but once Lu Xun learns that Chenyang is lost, he will definitely return to the army to surround him. He has no food, but if Sun Quan must recapture Chenyang, then he can transport grain from Lingling and Changsha to support, and he can trap them in Chenyang City. His forte is guerrilla, not defending the city, and once trapped in Chenyang, there is only one way to die.
He believed that Zhuge Liang would be happy to watch him die.
Wei Ba's thinking is very firm, that is, guerrilla. To fight guerrillas, you have to go into the mountains, and you can't be trapped in the city, and guarding Chenyang is tantamount to putting yourself in a cage. He wouldn't do such a stupid thing.
Zhao Tong's thinking was different from Wei Ba's, and he tended to defend the city. However, since Wei Ba had already made up his mind, Zhao Tong still resolutely obeyed.
Wei Ba then quickly left with the army, and there were only 300 Jin Dongliu in the Longyantan position, in case Pan Jun launched an attack, it was easy to see the reality and the falsehood, and it was difficult for Jin Dongliu to hold out for too long. At that time, he said that he could hold on for five days, but it was just the hearts of An Xiangfu and others, and Wei Ba knew very well that even if he had a geographical advantage, it would be difficult for him to hold on for five days. This surprise attack on Chenyang. It's the time difference. If you want to withdraw before Lu Xun and Pan Jun discover his true intentions, if you slow down your hands and feet, you may be seized by them and wiped out.
Although the soldiers did not rest all night. But a surprise victory was fought. Everyone was excited. Wei Ba said to return to Longyan Beach immediately. Without saying a word, they picked up the spoils of war and set off.
When Wei Ba left Chenyang, the reinforcements arranged by Lu Xun also left the camp. Although it is a rush to help. But they didn't walk fast, firstly, to maintain their physical strength, and secondly, no one thought that Wei Ba would be able to conquer Chenyang in half a day, and if they walked fast, they might fall into Wei Ba's ambush. They had been walking for an hour, and had received a report from the scout, and the general who had led the troops had almost fallen from his horse with a somersault.
Chenyang has been lost.
This news was beyond anyone's expectations, Chenyang was lost, and the consequences were very serious, so it was said that he had to march quickly. However, the dilemma of the leading general is that if Chenyang has been lost, these horses led by him alone cannot recover Chenyang, and there is no point in advancing at all.
All he could do was get the news back to the camp as quickly as possible.
Receiving the news of Chenyang's loss, Lu Xun and Lu Lan were taken aback, and they didn't react for a long time.
"This ...... How can it be? Lu Lan stammered, his face swollen red, he didn't know if he had made a mistake, maybe he should have listened to Fei Yi's persuasion at that time?
Lu Xun's face was pale, cold sweat was dripping, he couldn't believe the news, but he believed that the news was right. Chenyang must have lost his position, and the scouts would not make such a low-level mistake.
"Immediately pull out the camp and order the forward to march towards Chenyang as fast as possible, keep on guard, and prevent the trap of the Zhongwei tyrant." Lu Xun lifted the quilt and stood up: "Someone, put on armor." As soon as he shouted, he felt dizzy, short of breath and palpitations, and almost fell to the ground.
"General, what are you ......" Lu Lan hurriedly supported Lu Xun and asked anxiously: "Don't save Pan Jun?" ”
"What else do you want to save?" Lu Xun couldn't help but roar: "Chenyang is lost, whether we can exit Wuling safely is a question, and we can manage Pan Jun?" Let's go, if the heavens still favor us, let Wei Ba covet Chenyang City, and give us the opportunity to block him in the city. Otherwise, it's too late to say anything. ”
Lu Lan didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly agreed. While putting on his armor, Lu Xun gave an order, and sent someone to inform Pan Jun again, asking him to find his own way to survive, and if he could escape a few people, he would escape a few people, and don't wait for rescue. At the same time, he asked people to rush to the nearby Lingling and Changsha, so that they could immediately transport grain to meet them. Prior to this, after learning that Lipu was lost, Lu Xun notified Lingling and Changsha Taishou in the name of the auxiliary general, asking them to prepare food to support the war in Wuling County, and now that Chenyang was lost again, all hopes were pinned on them. With only the army's own food, even Lu Xun himself did not dare to guarantee that it would be able to support it for a few days.
The camp of the army immediately alarmed Fei Yi, and when Fei Yi arrived at the Chinese military tent, Lu Xun was already neatly dressed, but his face was pale and his spirit was very poor.
"General, you are ......"
"Wei Ba has conquered Chenyang, we must retreat immediately." At this time, Lu Xun didn't have time to play diplomatic rhetoric with Fei Yi, he said straight to the point: "At this point, I no longer have the ability to save Pan Jun, and Wei Ba's occupation of Wuling is a foregone conclusion." Fei Wenwei, are you satisfied? ”
Fei Yi was stunned for a moment, cold sweat came out of his sideburns, and he said curtly: "General, this is his own idea, I don't approve of it." ”
"Yes, I think Prime Minister Zhuge may not be so small, and you Fei Wenwei probably won't want to see this situation. But in the past two days, you Fei Wenwei have jumped up and down, do you dare to say that you are not helping Wei Ba? As Lu Xun spoke, he picked up his sword, stuck it in his waist, raised his face, looked at the sky outside, and sighed lightly: "I don't know if I should feel honored, Wei Ba actually attaches so much importance to me, and specially asked you to come to see me, you must wait until I can't get out of bed before he dares to start." ”
Fei Yi laughed awkwardly twice. In front of a smart person like Lu Xun, there is no point in covering up, it will only attract contempt.
"It's useless for you to be here, whether you go back to Chengdu and report everything here to Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, or go to Wei Ba to ask for credit, whatever you want." Lu Xun glanced at Fei Yi: "However, if you come again next time, I hope you will be with true sincerity, not like now." ”
Lu Xun, with the support of the two guards, came out of the big tent and threw Fei Yi aside. Fei Yi rolled his eyes and scratched his head, a little helpless. He knew that Lu Xun was very angry now, and he wouldn't talk to him anymore, and he didn't need to talk about it anymore, if he wanted to talk, he would only talk to Wei Ba directly.
Fei Yi thought about it for a long time, but he still didn't leave, he went straight to the Longyan Beach position. Wei Ba hadn't come back yet, Jin Dongliu was in charge, and after sending someone to invite him up, Fei Yi saw the dummies standing with spears one by one, and immediately understood everything.
"When will Wei Shizhong come back?"
"It's coming soon." Jin Dongliu said lightly: "Do you have any advice for joining the army?" ”
"Lu Xun has rushed to Chenyang with his whole army, if he can't withdraw in time, I'm worried that he will be in danger."
Jin Dongliu's eyes flashed, and his smile flashed. "Thank you for your concern, the servant will not stick to Chenyang, he will definitely rush back to Longyan Beach."
Fei Yi glanced at him: "He still wants to trap Pan Jun?" ”
"If you don't fight a tiger, you will be injured by a tiger." Jin Dongliu said lightly: "If you want to gain a firm foothold in Wuling in the future, of course, it is better to kill and injure as many Wu talents as possible." ”
"But in this way, the enmity will be great." Fei Yi gently patted the railing and sighed.
Jin Dongliu replied unhurriedly: "Back then, Lu Meng attacked and killed Guan Hou, and Lu Xun burned down the company camp in Yiling, isn't this feud big enough?" ”
Fei Yi glanced back at Jin Dongliu in surprise: "Is this your own idea, or did Wei Shizhong say it to you?" ”
Jin Dongliu smiled: "What I said, of course, can only represent my own opinion." Such a superficial truth, I think as long as you are a normal person, you can figure it out, there is no need for Wei Shizhong to teach. ”
Fei Yi smacked his lips, but he didn't know what to say.
When night fell, Wei Ba returned to Longyan Beach with his exhausted army. Seeing Fei Yi, he couldn't help but smile.
"Lu Xun is gone?"
"Well, he went to Chenyang, probably trying to block you." Fei Yi drank slowly: "However, since you have returned here, he has naturally failed again." Ziyu, what are you going to do next? ”
"How?" Wei Ba looked at Fei Yi in surprise: "What else can I do now?" ”
"I mean, do you want to trap Pan Jun to death, or do you want to use Pan Jun and his subordinates to force Sun Quan to agree to your terms."
Wei Ba thought for a moment: "Is there a difference?" ”
"Of course there is a difference." Fei Yi owed a debt and said with a smile: "Ziyu, if you force Pan Jun to death, Sun Quan probably won't agree to your conditions, and you don't want to be stable in Wuling, maybe this war will get bigger and bigger." The prime minister proceeds from the overall situation, and probably will not risk turning his face with Sun Quan, so he can only pretend to be deaf and dumb. If you want to occupy Wuling safely, you may have to make some concessions, and don't drive Sun Quan to a dead end. He paused for a moment to give Wei Ba a time to think, and said with a pun: "It won't do anyone any good to tear your face now." ”
Wei Ba pondered for a long time: "What do you mean, do you want to let Pan Jun go and give Sun Quan a step down, so as to avoid expanding the situation so that it affects the prime minister's jihua and makes it difficult for the prime minister?" ”
Fei Yi's eyes tightened and nodded.
Wei Ba twisted his fingers and smiled slightly: "Fei Jun, I can understand your good intentions, but I don't know if Sun Quan will accept your affection." In this way, I obey the prime minister's overall arrangement and can make some concessions. It's still the same conditions as before, if Lu Xun is willing to agree, I can let Pan Jun leave. If you don't agree, then wait to collect Pan Jun's body, I am ready to fight with him for another two years until Jiangnan is smashed. ”
Fei Yi breathed a sigh of relief and stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to pat Wei Ba's shoulder, but his hand stopped in mid-air but did not fall. He looked at Wei Ba, who seemed to be smiling, and then looked at the cold-eyed Xiangfu and the others beside Wei Ba, smacked his lips, and took his hand back. (To be continued......)
