A few days later, Wu Yi led an army of 20,000 to Zhuyang. He brought in a large amount of grain and skilled craftsmen by ship, and with these craftsmen, Wei Ba's preparations were much faster, and he quickly set up an ordnance workshop to prepare for the war.

As he said to Meng Da and others, sending troops to Xiangyang is more virtual than real at present, and it is more about restricting the attention of Cao Rui and Sun Quan at the same time, so that they cannot go west with all their might. But Cao Rui and Sun Quan are not vegetarians, and if they don't come to some actual threats, they may not take him seriously. What's more, Xiangyang is so important, if Shu Han wants to send troops to the Central Plains in the future, Xiangyang is the only way, take this opportunity to make some preparations, and it will not be wasted.

In this era when there is no electricity, water power is the only more stable and available source of power. The reason for transferring the camp from Fangling to Zhuyang is because Zhuyang is the downstream of the confluence of Danshui, Junshui and Hanshui, and there is powder water and Zhushui injection, so the water is abundant, the flow rate is fast, and the power can be guaranteed. Moreover, Zhuyang is closer to Xiangyang, and the threat it plays is greater. Along with the effect, the danger factor has also increased sharply, and Sima Yi of Wuguan Dao may send a sailor down the water at any time and kill directly in the back.

Therefore, a large part of Wei Ba's mind was on guarding against Sima Yi. Being able to lure Sima Yi back to Wuguan from Shangluo to recuperate, temporarily end the battle in Shangluo, and give Deng Zhi time to take a breath, this is the first step of victory.

Wu Yi had seen Wei Ba's mechanical methods in Hanzhong, because he was very relieved that he handed over all the baggage battalions to Wei Ba to be responsible, and he also agreed to Wei Ba's request to take care of the baggage battalion with heavy troops to avoid leaking secrets.

With the full cooperation of Wu Yi and Meng Da, Wei Ba's work was much easier, and seeing that the workshop was erected one by one, Wei Ba could be the shopkeeper. In addition to checking every day, there is basically no need to bother, and it is easier than when I was in Chang'an. There is Zhuge Liang's credit in this. These craftsmen trained by Zhuge Liang are more obedient and easy to use than the craftsmen he trained. Just ask carefully. Zhuge Liang not only has a soft hand, but also a hard hand, and there is a reward for doing haode, and punishment for doing poorly. The degree of refinement of the rules is enough to make him embarrassed, and the management level is much higher than him.

"If the prime minister is in the future, he will definitely be a gold medal manager. Any working emperor must bow down in front of him. Wei Ba said to himself.

The New Year has arrived in a hectic preparation. Because of Shu Han's pre-war preparations in Fangling, Cao Wei's attack on Guanzhong and Eastern Wu's pressing on Yizhou all stopped. The battle has entered a rare period of calm, and it seems peaceful, but everyone knows it. This is only temporary, and once it breaks out again, it will have to be a series of bloody battles.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Wei Ba returned to his tent after attending the official dinner. Mrs. Zhang sent someone to bring wine, meat, and things for the New Year. Wei Ba made people hot wine, cooked meat, and sat down with Wei Feng for a drink. Although the brothers are together, they are busy with their own things, and there are not many opportunities to meet, so it is very rare to have a time when no one disturbs them like this, sitting together and talking about homely things, and drinking a little wine.

"Mother is in a hurry, right?" Wei Ba took a sip of wine, glanced at Huan'er, who was talking to Xiahou Hui in the distance, and squeezed his eyes at Wei Feng: "You are lagging behind." ”

Wei Feng grinned: "What am I behind?" Isn't it just sleepy, giving birth to a child, haven't you been touched yet? Wei Feng leaned closer, put his arm around Wei Ba's shoulders and said, "What's the matter, are you afraid that she will stab you in the middle of the night?" ”

Wei Ba was a little embarrassed, he wanted to make fun of Wei Feng, but he didn't expect to be teased by him. He declared to everyone that Xiahou Hui was his concubine, but in fact, Xiahou Hui lived alone in a tent and did not accompany him like a concubine at all. There are not many women in the barracks, but they are not absent. Senior generals like Wu Yi and Meng Da actually have women waiting around them. It is unlikely that a middle-level general like Wei Feng will have a special woman to wait, but it is not a new thing to find a few officials, slaves and maids from the baggage camp to sleep with him, but it is rare for the two to live separately with a concubine like Wei Ba.

"She's not used to it yet." Wei Ba disguised: "Recently...... It's not very convenient. ”

"Oh-" Wei Feng dragged out his voice and patted Wei Ba's shoulder understandingly: "Women, there are just a lot of things, and there are always a few days of inconvenience." Otherwise, how many concubines should a man take, just to have a spare. ”

Wei Ba was a little harsh when he heard this, not only because he was not used to this concept, but more importantly, his biological mother Deng was also a concubine, according to Wei Feng, she was also a spare tire?

Wei Feng didn't notice Wei Ba's mood, and looked at Xiahou Hui with envy while drinking wine. Huan'er was also a good-looking girl, but when she stood with Xiahou Hui, the gap was too big. Not only is his appearance inferior to Xiahou Hui, but his speech and demeanor are a lot worse, and Huan'er, who has always been arrogant and domineering, has obviously fallen psychologically in front of Xiahou Hui, and there is almost no place to put his hands and feet.

People in this era do not have any respect for women who are concubines, concubines and maidservants are actually similar, Wei Feng can generously give Huan'er to Wei Ba, and naturally thinks that Xiahou Hui is just a thing that can be given away, although he will not take away his brother's woman, but it is not too much to look at it twice. Wei Ba knew that Wei Feng didn't have any bad intentions, but he was still not used to Wei Feng's unscrupulous gaze.

"Hey, you two go out and talk, my brother and I have something to say." Wei Ba raised his voice and said loudly.

"Whoa." Xiahou Hui answered, pulled Huan'er and turned around and went out.

"What's the point, so nervous?" Wei Feng was already half-drunk, and he didn't notice Wei Ba's careful thoughts at all, blinking his slightly reddened eyes, staring at Wei Ba and saying.

"The matter of war." Wei Ba put down the wine glass, picked up a piece of meat, stuffed it into his mouth, and said while chewing: "The preparations are almost ready, I estimate that the prime minister is about to arrive in Jiangzhou, and the first month will not end, maybe there will be a war." You ready? ”

"What else do you need to say?" Wei Feng patted his chest excitedly: "I prepare every day, and I can leave at any time." He lowered his voice again, and a mouth full of wine sprayed on Wei Ba's face, "Ziyu, you say, do I have a chance to be like Zhao Guang and directly promoted to general?" ”

"You're a lieutenant now, and it's not a matter of time before you become a general." Wei Ba glanced at him angrily: "Your state of mind is not right, if you want to be promoted, you will not know how to advance or retreat." ”

"Hey, I know, I know." Wei Feng grinned widely, and after a while, he said, "Actually, I know that you've earned it for me, not by your own ability." I want to ......" He bent his arms and showed off his strong biceps: "Compete for a general with your own skills, and it also makes my mother happy." ”

"You did it earlier, give birth to a son, and your mother will be happy."

"It's not just a matter of words." Wei Feng shook his head disappreciatively: "But the concubine has no interest in giving birth, it is interesting to find a son born to a wife, my mother said, when I am promoted, I will find a good family affair......"

Wei Ba stopped the wine glass in his hand and glared at Wei Feng, Wei Feng's eyebrows fluttered when he spoke, and when he saw Wei Ba's expression, he was stunned for a long time, and then he remembered that the younger brother in front of him was not a concubine. He slapped himself in frustration, and said repeatedly: "Ziyu, Ziyu, I didn't mean that......"

Wei Ba couldn't laugh or cry. He knew very well what kind of person Wei Feng was, he probably drank too much today, and he was a little excited, and he didn't know what he was talking about. Angry and funny, he grabbed Wei Fan's own slap hand, turned to the outside and shouted, "Huan'er, Huan'er!" ”

Huan'er ran over quickly: "Young master, what's the matter?" ”

"Your man has drunk too much, take him back, hurry up and wash and sleep." Wei Ba pointed at Wei Feng. Huan'er's face was flushed, and he hurriedly picked up Wei Feng and walked out. Wei Feng's feet were shaking, and he still refused to leave, and shouted with his teeth and claws: "Ziyu, Ziyu, I really didn't mean that." ”

"I know you didn't mean that, but you've been drinking too much now that you can't talk about anything. I'll tell you again when I get up tomorrow morning. ”

"Ziyu, I really ......"

"Okay, I got it." Wei Feng half-pushed and half-sent Wei Feng out, watched Huan'er carry Wei Feng away like a bear, and then looked at Xiahou Hui who was holding back his laughter, and shrugged his shoulders. Xiahou Hui covered his mouth and smiled, he didn't care about what to say to Wei Ba, and ordered the bell to call Wei Feng's guards, just with Huan'er's small body, it was really not easy to get Wei Feng away.

"I don't see if you're really good at being a human being." Wei Ba said with satisfaction.

"Women are different from men, if you want to live in a strange home, you have to learn to please people." Xiahou Hui said lightly: "Join the army, do you still drink?" ”

"If you don't drink for the New Year, what else can you do?" Wei Ba scratched his head: "Why don't you have two drinks with me?" ”

"Okay." Xiahou Hui nodded, and was about to clean up the wine utensils, when a loud voice came from outside: "Wei joins the army, Wei joins the army, is Wei joins the army?" ”

"Grandma's, who is it, I can't drink an Ansheng wine if I want to?" Wei Ba muttered a few words, looked up, and saw Fu Xing and Zhang Wei several acquaintances, some holding wine, some carrying meat, shouting and rushing over. Wei Ba secretly complained to himself, it's over, today's plan to confront Xiahou Hui is completely ruined.

"Ziyu, are you okay today?" Fu Xing said with a smile: "I and a group of brothers came to you to drink you, you won't be welcome, right?" ”

Before Wei Ba could speak, Xiahou Hui laughed softly: "My family joined the army and just heard the magpie calling, saying that a distinguished guest came to the door and asked me to clean up, but I didn't expect you to come, how can it not be welcome." Join the army, I'll go and see if the mutton soup is cooked, you can sit down first. ”

Wei Ba also knew that this occasion could not be shirked, these people needed him, and he also needed these people, so he had to push the boat down the river and said: "Exactly, exactly." Zhong Jian, Shi Meng, Wen Ju, come and come, please sit inside. ”

Fu Xing, Zhang Wei, Feng Jin and others entered the account, Fu Xing punched Wei Ba hard, and squeezed his eyes: "Or Ziyu, you are powerful, Xiahou Shang's daughter can be accepted by you, do you know how many people are jealous of you?" ”
