After receiving Wei Ba's military report, Zhuge Qiao felt a sense of relief while being angry.

"Wei Ziyu is so bold, he actually dares to disobey orders and do his own thing?" Yang Wei patted the desk angrily, Bai Chen's face turned red, and he seemed to be more angry than Zhuge Qiao. "Does he want to compete with the captain?"

"It's okay for him to do this in a hurry." Zhuge Qiao said lightly: "If he listens to my orders and rushes to Xunkou, it will be useless, if 10,000 people want to capture Xunkou and make siege equipment, plus the siege time, it will definitely not be enough for half a month, and the casualties will not be small." He made a detour like this, attacking Mulan Sai from behind, and maybe he had a better chance of success. ”

Seeing that Zhuge Qiao was not angry, Yang Wei was not angry anymore, and said with a mixed smile: "Du Wei is right, even if he can't capture Mulan Sai, he will be much more relieved if he can let Meng Da know that we are doing our best to rescue him." In fact, we just need to have a meaning, Meng Da has been preparing for so long, and Fangling's defense line has been operating for so many years, so it will not be lost so quickly. ”

"Yes, otherwise, Sima Yi wouldn't be so crazy." Zhuge Qiao sighed, pinched his nose, his eyes were a little complicated, both afraid and unwilling. "I didn't expect this scholar to be ruthless enough, he actually marched with an army of 30,000 in a hurry, and drove 1,200 miles in eight days, and what is even more unreasonable is that he actually sent troops without waiting for the edict of the imperial court. This man...... I'm afraid I won't be a pure minister in the future. ”

Yang Wei snorted: "How can such a bold and self-righteous person be a pure minister." ”

Zhuge Qiao glanced at Yang Wei and didn't talk to him, he knew that Yang Wei was not talking about Sima Yi, but Wei Ba, who was also doing his own thing. He could understand Yang Wei's feelings, but he couldn't echo Yang Wei. It is a bit unkind to charge Wei Ba'an with such a heavy crime. In fact, so far, although Wei Ba is a little domineering, he is still decent on the whole, and he is doing this now, also from the perspective of the overall interests, and not entirely for merit - although it is not ruled out that he is suspected of contending.

Zhuge Qiao pondered for a moment: "Yuan Xiu, do you see if I want to reveal some news to him, so that he doesn't use too much force." Really saving Meng Da, that's not our goal. ”

Yang Wei smiled: "No, Bo Song, do you really think that with his thousands of people, you can save Meng Da?" ”

Zhuge Qiao was stunned for a moment, and then laughed at himself: "That's right, I'm too worried." ”

……

Wei Ba crossed his waist and gasped for breath. The two legs are stiff, like a thousand pounds. After walking the mountain road for two days and one night, from the waist down, he was unconscious, Zuihou just insisted on it with one breath, and instinctively ran along. Stopping now, the exhaustion weighed down like a thick jungle overhead, making him want to sit on the ground.

"Alas, now if you can soak your feet and press a rub, it would be so cool." Wei Ba muttered in his heart, but he didn't dare to show anything on his face. He rushed here with one hundred and forty Wei family soldiers and one thousand elite foot soldiers, and with this letter of perseverance and perseverance alone, he won the favor of those foot soldiers. If they knew that he was now so sorry that his bowels were blue, and that he only wanted to enjoy the pedicure of the ugly maid, it would be hard to guarantee that his great image would not collapse in a moment.

"Join the army, what now? Shall we rush to Fangling City to report the news? ”

Captain Zhang Yu and Zhou Yu walked over together, clasping their fists and saluting. Zhang Lingzi Wang, Qianwei is a native of Wuyang, and he is only nineteen years old this year. became a lieutenant at such a young age, leading 500 foot soldiers, which is related to his family background. Qianwei Zhang's family is a famous family in Yizhou, his great-grandfather Zhang Hao has estimated Sikong, and his great-grandfather Zhang Gang is also a handsome man, when the general Liang Ji was in full swing, only he dared to stand up against it. The famous "jackal is in charge, and the fox is asked" is from Zhang Gang's mouth.

The Zhang family has been very cooperative since Liu Bei entered Sichuan, coupled with the family background, so the career is smooth, and a young man like Zhang Ling is really nothing in the Zhang family. Zhang Yi's younger brother Zhang Yi is now only thirty-five years old and has been a two-term taishou.

"Ziwang, Yunyang, do you think we can kill Fangling City?" Wei Ba pointed to the faint Fangling City in the distance, and then pointed to the beehive-like Wei army camp outside the city, raised his eyebrows and asked.

Zhang Yu and Zhou Yu glanced at each other. Of course, they knew that it was impossible to kill them to report to the city, but if they didn't kill them to report the news, how could they let Meng Da know that they were coming? It's so far away that it's even if you shout it out of your throat, and you can't hear it in the city. As long as they make a little movement, Meng Da may not have seen it, but the Wei army will definitely find out and will immediately surround them. With more than 1,000 of them, who is the opponent of others.

"What's the trick with joining the army?" At this dangerous point, whether it was Zhang Yu or Zhou Yu, they all pinned their hopes on Wei Ba. Wei Ba is now their backbone, and whether he can go back alive depends on whether Wei Ba is smart enough.

"Actually, it's very simple, our task is not to defeat Sima Yi, our task is to tell Meng Da that there are reinforcements, so that he can defend the city with peace of mind." Wei Ba raised his head, looked at the canopy that was blown by the cold wind, and laughed: "Did you say it?" ”

"Joining the army is very true. The question is how can we let Menda know that we have come? Zhang Ling insisted, he felt that Wei Ba was smearing the mud, and he didn't answer his question directly at all.

"I've thought of this, but now is not the time to tell you. You have more important tasks to do. Wei Ba looked at the surrounding terrain: "How long will it take for you to build a position that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and ensure that you can save your life under the attack of the Wei army?" ”

Zhang Yu looked around and said very easily: "Join the army, although the mountain here is not very high, it is an easy place to defend and difficult to attack, there are a thousand people to defend, as long as the food is sufficient, I think Wei Ba is 100,000 people to attack, and there is no way to take us in a short time." ”

"Then hurry up and prepare the position, when the position is ready, we will inform Meng Da."

Zhang Yu glanced at Wei Ba and was skeptical. Wei Ba seemed to be confident, but he couldn't think of any way Wei Ba was going to use to inform Meng Da. It is three miles away from Fangling City, and there is a Zhushui with a width of twenty or thirty paces and a Wei army camp with a width of nearly three hundred paces.

Zhang Yu was a little curious.

……

Fang Ling.

Meng Da sat at the head of the city, looking at the Wei army camp outside the city, Guozi's face was full of exhaustion and worry. He had been preparing for this major event for several years, and he always thought that all the troubles had been expected, but when it came, he found that his preparation was still far from enough. First of all, he didn't expect that Shen Yi would find out about his Jihua and notify Sima Yi in advance, so that Sima Yi would send Liang Ji, a member of the army, to test him and ask him to enter the court to meet the new emperor. He is not a fool, how can he be fooled by this, but in this way, he can only raise the anti-flag when the city has not been fully repaired.

After a difference of half a month, he originally thought it was not a big problem. After Sima Yi received the news, he had to report to Luoyang first, and then send troops, during which it would take at least a month, and there was a month, he would be enough to fill all the loopholes, and Wu Shu's reinforcements would arrive in time, even if Sima Yi arrived in Fangling, there was nothing he could do.

But once again, he made a mistake. This time, he underestimated Sima Yi. There were only eight days from the time he raised the incident to Sima Yi's troops coming to the city, and he woke up one night without any psychological preparation, and found that Fangling had been surrounded by Sima Yi's army.

This made everyone very shocked, if it weren't for Meng Da's many years in Xincheng, and most of his subordinates were his relatives, he was afraid that Sima Yi would be able to succeed in the first attack. Despite this, Meng Da felt a strong atmosphere of despair.

The preparations have not yet been finalized, the strong enemy has arrived, but the reinforcements are far away, and now the only one who can count on is himself.

Meng Da lamented secretly. Of course, he knew that Zhuge Liang would only send 5,000 people, and he stopped at Anyang. He first betrayed Liu Zhang, surrendered to Liu Bei, and later betrayed Liu Bei, surrendered to Cao Wei, and now he wants to betray Cao Wei and return to Shu Han, in more than ten years, three betrayals, who can believe him? Even if Zhuge Liang believed him, he couldn't believe that Zhuge Liang would believe him.

He originally wanted to rely on the unique position of Fangling, dominate the three eastern counties with the strength of nearly 10,000 families in his hands, and be a free and uncrowned king. Now it seems that everything was in vain because I saw the wrong person twice. Sima Yi was just outside the city, and the onslaught at any cost for more than ten consecutive days had destroyed the defensive facilities he had arranged outside the city, and what worried Meng Da even more was that the people in the city were panicking, and no one knew when it would collapse, but the reinforcements had no news at all.

Despair has become a mountain hanging over everyone in Fangling City.

Meng Da didn't know how long he could hold out, but he knew that it would take at least a month for Wu Shu's reinforcements to arrive here. Meng Da did not expect to rely on Wu Shu's reinforcements to defeat Sima Yi. He knew very well that he could not gain the trust of Zhuge Liang or Lu Xun, and the so-called reinforcements could only be nominal. But now he was very eager for these nominal reinforcements, as long as there were reinforcements outside the city, even if they were just stationed there and did not move, it would be enough to appease the morale of the soldiers in the city. As long as he can calm people's hearts, he can breathe a sigh of relief.

However, he also knew that if he could think of this, Sima Yi would also think of this, and he would definitely send men and horses to block Wu Shu's reinforcements. He could even imagine where Sima Yi's blocking troops would be arranged. The Mulan Fortress in the west was the best terrain to block the Shu Han army from Hanzhong, while the Anqiao Fortress in the south was the best position to block the Wu army returning from Zizhong. These two places are 400 miles away from Fangling, and there are hundreds of miles close, even if the fight is turned upside down, Fangling can't hear a sound.

Fangling has become an isolated city. I'm dying!

Meng Da sighed, he didn't dare to look at the Wei army camp under the city anymore, and moved his eyes to Zhushan in the west, although he also knew that there would definitely be no reinforcements there, unless he saw a miracle. But now he can only pin his hopes on miracles.

Meng Da just glanced at it, then held his breath, and his whole person froze. He rubbed his eyes, stretched out his hand, pointed to the mountains in the distance, and his voice trembled like his fingers: "Ziyi, look, that ...... What is that? ”

Deng Xian followed his finger and couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy: "Help...... Reinforcements coming? "—————— reinforcements are coming, what about the tickets?
