Chapter 497: Everyone is afraid of outlaws
The court, like the battlefield, is most afraid of encountering outlaws.
Outlaws don't think like the average person. Unlike ordinary people, the basic starting point of doing things is to protect themselves and then pursue to fight the enemy, but the outlaw does not hesitate to destroy himself in order to fight the enemy.
Fei Yi had no doubt that if Wei Ba didn't get the answer he wanted, he would throw him directly off the overpass.
No one knew what Fei Yi was thinking at that moment, but he unexpectedly calmed down, although his face was still a little pale and his legs were still a little shaking, but his voice stopped shaking, and his eyes became calm. It seems that after a bigger storm and a bigger storm, this small flyover is no longer so scary.
"You're thinking too much, Ziyu." Fei Yi smiled: "The prime minister is worried about your safety. It is precisely because Jingzhou is important that Sun Quan will not give up. If you become a Wuling Taishou, it is tantamount to dancing on the tip of a knife, and once Sun Quan eases up, he will definitely swallow you in one bite. Moreover, without Sun Quan's response, we will be under great pressure in Guanzhong. ”
Wei Ba looked at Fei Yi in surprise, this person is really a genius, no wonder he can be comfortable in diplomacy. On such an occasion, he can still be neither humble nor arrogant, keep calm, and not mess up, either this person is dull, or this person is naturally good at disguise.
"In my opinion, Sun Quan is not credible, rather than expecting him to deal with us, it is better to completely cripple him, and then deal with Wei wholeheartedly." Wei Ba also tacitly stopped mentioning that sensitive topic, as if nothing had happened. "I'm in Wuling, at least I can guarantee that there will be no situation where Sun Quan will go west, and the prime minister can put all his mind on Guanzhong."
"Of course it couldn't be better. But. Do you think Wu Ren can agree? ”
"If they don't agree, I'll beat them up." Wei Ba tightened his hands, the corners of his mouth raised, and he smiled slightly: "Fei Jun, don't you think that the courtesy you have received recently is much better than before?" You don't think this is Sun Quan's sudden conscience discovery, right? ”
Fei Yi smiled knowingly. He pondered for a moment and said softly: "Lu Xun is not in good health, when I played chess with him, although he sat for a day and didn't move, the smell of medicine on his body was very strong. ”
Wei Ba was stunned: "Really?" ”
"Well, he's basically not out of the big picture. What's the matter. It was all conveyed by Lu Lan. Fei Yi moved closer to Wei Ba, and the two stood side by side, looking into the distance. Lu Lan is very experienced. There is also insight. Just irritable. In addition, the machine change is not enough ......"
Wei Ba listened intently and nodded from time to time. Guan Feng and the others stood on the cliff in the distance, watching Wei Ba and Fei Yi talking in the middle of the overpass. The mountain wind was howling, blowing the bamboo bridge creaking, she couldn't hear what Wei Ba was talking about at all, she could only see Wei Ba's solemn expression. Fei Yi zuihou patted Wei Ba's hand, as if to explain something, and the two walked back slowly. Fei Yi walked in front, as if he was still talking about something, and Wei Ba followed behind, bowing his head and listening attentively.
"Sister, let someone prepare some wine and meat, let Fei Jun moisten his throat and fill his stomach, he has to go down the mountain overnight."
Guan Feng responded and turned around to arrange. Wei Ba invited Fei Yi back to the cave and sat down, and asked Sun Jun to be brought. After Sun Jun was captured, his mood has been very low, and when he saw Fei Yi, he didn't react, and his eyes were a little dull.
"You are Dingwu Zhonglang General Sun Jun Sun Shuying?"
Sun Jun blinked his eyes, nodded blankly, suddenly realized something, his eyes lit up, and he was ashamed to be ashamed, and lowered his head with a red face.
"This is his seal, and it was found out of him." Wei Ba put a pair of seals in front of Fei Yi, and put Sun Jun's saber on it: "With these, I think Sun Quan will believe you." ”
"Okay, I got it." Fei Yi put away his things, ate a little simply, and hurried down the mountain. He returned to Lu Xun's camp and came straight to Lu Xun, and as soon as they met, he said straight to the point: "Wei Ba wants to be the Taishou of Wuling." ”
Lu Xun looked at Fei Yi in surprise, and it took him a long time to react, and he couldn't help but ask with some annoyance: "Then will you Prime Minister Zhuge agree?" ”
"Will be outside, the king's order will not be affected." Fei Yi smiled slightly: "After he is a martial artist, he likes the career of a horse warrior and doesn't want to be an idle job in Chengdu, which is understandable." ”
Lu Xun interrupted Fei Yi angrily: "Are you blackmailing me?" ”
"No, we are allies, how can we say it is blackmail." Fei Yi said calmly: "General Lu, I won't hide it from you, Wei Ba is young and ignorant, self-righteous, and we also want to teach him a lesson." If the general can do us a favor, we can't ask for it. If you want, I can keep silent now, and the Chengdu side will not admit that Wei Ba has anything to do with the Han. ”
Lu Xun was stunned, and he didn't know what to say about the rest of the words. He didn't know if Fei Yi was telling the truth or a lie, but he also knew that if he really had the ability to kill Wei Ba, Zhuge Liang would definitely be happy to see it.
The question is, can he kill Wei Ba?
"I'm going to think about it." Lu Xun said to Fei Yi very sincerely. Fei Yi nodded thoughtfully and withdrew from the big tent. As soon as he went out, Lu Lan couldn't suppress his anger and scolded. Lu Xun interrupted him impatiently and reprimanded: "What's the use of scolding, it's the right thing to find a way to defeat Wei Ba." ”
Lu Lan was speechless, Wei Ba occupied a favorable terrain, where could he attack if he wanted to? If he could attack, Lu Xun would have attacked a long time ago. He looked at Lu Xun and saw the fine beads of sweat on Lu Xun's forehead, as if he saw a big mountain on Lu Xun's back.
Chenyang is nearly two thousand miles away from Wuchang, one-third of which are mountain roads and waterways, even if it is conveyed by a fast horse, it will take ten days to go back and forth, and after ten days, I am afraid that Pan Jun has been wiped out. For this reason, Sun Quan gave Lu Xun the right to make decisions on the spot, but this was only a war, not including such a thing as ceding Wuling.
Lu Xun can't afford this responsibility. But now only Lu Xun has the right to make this decision, either to watch Pan Jun starve to death, or to take matters into his own hands and cede Wuling. No matter which result it is, it is not something that Lu Xun can bear.
Lu Xun was about to be crushed.
Lu Lan was helpless, he couldn't help but scold Pan Jun. The current situation has a lot to do with Pan Jun's disobedience. If Pan Jun was willing to listen to Lu Xun's advice and wait patiently, instead of rashly launching an attack, the situation would not be so bad. As long as they hold on for another ten days and a half, the situation will improve. But Pan Jun refused to wait, and in four or five days, he lost nearly half of his men and horses, and even heavy generals like Lu Dai were killed. If he waits any longer, he is afraid that he will go into battle in person, and if he can't wait for Wei Ba to run out of food, Pan Jun's body may be sent to Lu Xun.
Lu Xun can not care about Pan Jun's life and death, but he can't care less about the thousands of troops. This loss is big enough, Lu Dai's army is almost completely annihilated, and the loss of Buqi's department is more than half, if Pan Jun is also wiped out, then all the troops of Wu in Jingzhou will be less than 20,000 people, which is not enough to control Jingzhou at all. At that time, even if they refused to cede Wuling, Wuling would not be owned by them.
Lu Xun sat in the big tent all night.
……
In the cave, the torches were whirring, illuminating Wei Ba's figure swaying. It was quiet outside, except for the mountain wind shaking the bamboo bridge, the patrolling soldiers kept their footsteps as light as possible, so as not to disturb the Wei Shenjiang who had not yet rested.
Although everyone knew that the battle situation was very difficult, the barbarians trusted Wei Ba very much, and they believed that they could fight another victory under Wei Ba's leadership and defeat all the Wu people, including Lu Xun.
They just need to listen to Wei Ba and do their own thing.
Guan Feng walked in with a bowl of hot soup and stuffed the bowl into Wei Ba's hand. Wei Ba took the bowl with one hand and held Guan Feng's hand with the other. Guan Feng's face flushed, he looked around weakly, and said in a low voice, "Let go of me." ”
"Sister, I'm nervous." Wei Ba not only did not let go of Haomin, but instead pulled her closer to himself: "I gambled, but I don't know if I can win the bet." ”
Guan Feng's eyes flashed, and he sat next to Wei Ba, and Wei Xing, who was on duty on the side, saw it, glanced at several other warriors, and quietly retreated. Although Guan Feng didn't look at them, he heard the footsteps, his face turned even redder, and he was a little hot from the firelight.
"Weishenme, our position is very solid, Lu Xun can't break it."
"I'm not worried about that." Wei Ba put his arm around Guan Feng's waist, picked her up, put her on his lap, rested his chin on her shoulder, and said softly: "Taking this step, even if you turn your face with the prime minister." It's easy to bring Wuling over, but whether you can hold Wuling is a big problem. ”
"Are you sure that Lu Xun will take matters into his own hands and cede Wuling?"
"He will." Wei Ba wanted to laugh, but he laughed a little unnaturally: "In order to save Pan Jun's army, he will agree to this condition." As long as there are people, they can retake Wuling at any time. Besides, if we don't have food, can we hold Wuling? ”
"And what are you going to do?" Guan Feng turned around and pressed Wei Ba's shoulders with both hands, pushing him a little farther away. "What do you want to do?"
"Attack Chenyang."
"Attack Chenyang?"
"Yes, if we take Chenyang and get the food inside, we can support it for a longer time. Completely defeat the Wu army, so that they will not be able to launch a counterattack in the short term, and we will have a chance to breathe. Wei Ba said slowly, but his tone was very resolute. No victory can be won by the enemy, but can only be won by oneself. ”
"But...... Chenyang is not easy to attack. Guan Feng couldn't help but gasp, and looked at Wei Ba in disbelief: "Lu Xun is a cautious person, and Chenyang is a granary of Wu Jun's Zuihou in Wuling, will he leave you a chance?" ”
"It's because I don't have a chance that I have to create it." Wei Ba finally laughed: "As you said, Lu Xun is not a god, he is also a human. He would have died if he had been wounded, and now, although he was not dead, he was also seriously injured. When there is an injury, people will always be weaker, and their thinking will inevitably be slower. Like me, I don't have a lot of ideas right now. ”
"You're hurt?" Guan Feng was taken aback, straightened up, and jumped out of Wei Ba's arms. Wei Ba was speechless, and took her a hand and pressed it to his chest. "You've been poisoned here, won't you forget it?"
Guan Feng suddenly realized, glared at him, and smiled with tears: "It's good to poison you a scoundrel, so as not to be startled." (To be continued......)
