Chapter 665: The Situation Is Pressing
A momentary mistake, the order is wrong, ashamed and ashamed.
…………
"It's not that Wei Ba has tricks, it's that the king is no longer ambitious."
Fei Yi listened to the suggestion conveyed by Zhao Tong, and after thinking for a long time, he entered the palace to see Sun Quan. Sun Quan told him what he had said to Sun Luban again, and Fei Yi immediately gave his own verdict, not saving Sun Quan face at all.
Sun Quan grimaced, waiting for Fei Yi to give him an explanation that satisfied him.
"Now that the main force of the Wei army is in Nanyang, whether the king is willing to participate in the war or not, the war in Guanzhong is beneficial to us. Not only can Guanzhong be preserved, but the prime minister also has a very big chance of sending troops to Longyou. Once the Longyou is captured, I think I don't need to say more, the king will be able to understand how the situation in the world will change. Cao Wei's qi is exhausted, which can already be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. It would be great if the king was willing to stick to the covenant and march together. If the king wants to stand by and watch, or even secretly communicate with Cao Wei, it is nothing. However, if the king wants to follow the old trick of taking Jingzhou back then, he doesn't even think about it. General Zhennan sits in Nanjun and will not let the king get his wish. ”
Sun Quan was furious: "Fei Wenwei, are you threatening me?" ”
Fei Yi shook his head calmly: "King, I'm just a powerless scholar, how dare I threaten you?" I just felt the sincerity of the king's treatment of me and said what I said from the bottom of my heart. I think that with the wisdom of the king, even if I don't say it, sooner or later you will be able to understand the general trend of the world, and you can also understand the intention of General Zhennan to stay in Nanjun and refuse to go north. ”
Sun Quan's brows furrowed, and his breath became heavy.
Fei Yi was threatening him.
Join forces together. It's an ally, and when the time comes, it's the enemy. Wei Ba's 10,000 troops stationed in Dangyang are to guard against you, if you want to sneak attack Li Yan like you did when you attacked Guan Yu, it is absolutely impossible. With you or not, it doesn't matter much, at most it will affect the Nanyang Theater, but there is no doubt that Zhuge Liang will take Longyou.
With Guanzhong in hand, Shu Han has reversed the situation in the world and surpassed Soochow in one fell swoop. can fight with Cao Wei without a win. If Zhuge Liang takes Longyou again and takes the land for raising horses, then the west of the Yellow River will basically have nothing to do with Wei. The Wei State lost the pastures of Hexi, and only the source of war horses remained. The strength will inevitably be greatly reduced. One trades off the other. The situation in the world will inevitably change again.
For the Wei State. Losing Hexi is tantamount to losing half of the country. For Shu, getting Hexi is like a tiger with wings. Once Zhuge Liang got his wish and built up a powerful cavalry, he would be able to gain the upper hand even in the face of Wei.
But for Wu Guo, this is definitely not good news. Because this means that he refuses to respond to Wei Ba's invitation, he is offending a Shu Han who is getting stronger and stronger, but he is eyebrow with a Wei State who is sunset.
If Zhuge Liang can be prevented from obtaining the land of Longyou, then this attempt is still meaningful. If you can't, you're taking the blame.
Can I stop Zhuge Liang? Sun Quan asked himself with a wry smile. Wei Ba is in Nanjun, Li Yan is in Xiangyang, Zhao Yun is in Linyuan, but Zhuge Liang is hiding in Guanzhong thousands of miles away, and I can't even touch his side.
It seems that it is Li Yan who is presiding over this war, or Wei Ba, but in fact, the real behind-the-scenes hand is in Guanzhong, which is Zhuge Liang. The biggest beneficiary of this Xiangyang War is not Li Yan, but Zhuge Liang.
He is willing to make such a promise, and of course it is understandable.
"Sending troops to Jianghuai is not that I don't want to, but I can't." Sun Quan felt bitter in his mouth, and after being reminded by Fei Yi, he finally understood now, this was not Shu Han begging him to send troops at all, but giving him a chance to see his performance. If you have or not, you have to fight, if you want to participate, we will fight Cao Wei together, and when the time comes, I will eat meat, and you will drink soup. If you don't participate, even you will fight together. Maybe it can't be done now, but sooner or later it can be done.
This is the posture of a strong man, and the virtue of the tiger and wolf Qin of the year, which makes people disgusted and fearful, spurned and fascinated at the same time.
"The king is too modest." Fei Yi also slowed down and explained: "What the king is worried about is nothing more than the elite cavalry of the Wei State. After several major battles, the number of elite cavalry of Wei was greatly reduced, and the main force in Nanyang this time was only 10,000 cavalry led by Zhang He, plus the personal guard battalions of various departments, the total number would not exceed 20,000. With the ability of the auxiliary generals to use troops, coupled with the terrain of the waterways between the Yangtze River and the Huai, it is impossible for the Wei army to give full play to its greatest advantage, and it is entirely possible to advance the front to the territory of Yuzhou. When the prime minister takes the land of raising horses, the cavalry of the Wei State will inevitably decline, and it will be easier to enter the Central Plains when the time comes. ”
Fei Yi's statement has already adjusted Wei Ba's jihua and does not force Wu to kill all the way to the Yellow River, in fact, this is also unlikely. However, if Zhuge Liang takes Longyou, Cao Wei loses Hexi, and there is no largest source of war horses, then the cavalry of Wei will inevitably gradually decline, and then the opportunity to advance north will be greatly increased.
The key is still in the horse breeding ground in Longyou, and with war horses, you have the initiative. Horses, the big animals of the country, this sentence is not false at all.
If you cooperate with Shu Han, it is possible to become the emperor and get half of the country. If you don't cooperate with Shu Han, not only will you not be able to stop the rise of Shu Han, but you will become the enemy of Shu Han.
The benefits and disadvantages are clear at a glance. You can say it's a threat, but you can't deny that it's a reality, or at least there's a good chance that it will become a reality.
"I'm going to send someone to interview Wei Ba, I don't trust him." Sun Quan's tone also softened: "Moreover, I have to think about it." ”
Fei Yi agreed. In fact, he was also nervous in his heart, he didn't know what Wei Ba was doing, and he was even like Zhao Tong, he was skeptical about the plan in Wei Ba's hand that was signed by Zhuge Liang and Li Yan.
……
Fei Yi and Zhang Wen rushed to Dangyang together, accompanied by Sun Quan's representative Hu Zong.
Wei Ba had long expected them to come, and he was so well prepared that he even rushed to wait by the Han River to save time.
Regarding the vague question between Fei Yi's words, he hahadaxiao, took out the plan, and pushed it in front of Fei Yi: "Fei Jun, you know the prime minister's handwriting best, and you are no stranger to the imprint of the prime minister's mansion, you can see if this is true." As for Li Huqi, it's simpler, he is in Xiangyang, you hurry up, you can arrive in two days, you can ask in person. ”
Fei Yi checked for a long time and found no clear suspicions, but he still couldn't be sure. He was very clear about Zhuge Liang's psychology, and he had serious doubts about Zhuge Liang's willingness to cooperate with Li Yan.
He didn't say anything, though.
Zhang Wen and Hu Zong saw that Fei Yi didn't speak, and they also beat a little in their hearts. Hu Zong asked tentatively: "Can I bring this plan back to King Wu for an eye?" ”
"I can't." Wei Ba vetoed it and put the plan away. "You should know that when the prime minister wanted to restore the alliance with Soochow, he was already under a lot of pressure. In fact, in the past few years since the restoration of the alliance, your Wu State has not behaved like an ally. In the fifth year of Jianxing, the prime minister's first northern expedition, you delayed again and again, and it was not until the second year that you launched an offensive against Wei. Later, the prime minister confronted Wei in Guanzhong, and you Chen soldiers in Xiling, and the intention is self-evident. The prime minister had no choice but to take the marriage as an opportunity, and as a result, our rear general Liu Yan died in Yiyuan, and I was forced to flee. Now we don't have a good impression of Eastern Wu in the court, and we have enough reason to believe that if we promise King Wu first, after King Wu is crowned, he will not send troops to Jianghuai. At that time, how will the prime minister explain to Bixia? ”
"Since we are allies, we should trust each other, if you don't trust us so much, how can we trust you?"
"Believe it or not?" Wei Ba shrugged his shoulders and smiled disappreciatively: "You are all smart people, you should understand that it is not me asking you now." ”
Zhang Wen and Hu Zong looked at each other. Wei Ba didn't hide it at all, this was not an attitude of negotiation at all, but a naked threat. If Eastern Wu does not send troops to Jianghuai, then Wei Ba will definitely stay in Nanjun and not leave, and Li Yan will probably not attack Nanyang, but will join Wei Ba to capture Nanjun first. With Xiangyang in hand, the sailors cut off the Han River, and the possibility of Wei wanting to attack Nanjun is not great, and with the strength of Eastern Wu alone, the possibility of recapturing Nanjun is very small. What's more, the Chen soldiers of the Wei State Jianghuai, once the Eastern Wu and Shu Han fought for Nanjun, who knows if they will take advantage of the situation to attack Lujiang and other places?
To put it bluntly, as Wei Ba said, there is no real trust between the three kingdoms at all. One moment it is an ally, the next moment it can be an enemy, and even an ally is more fierce than the enemy. How to judge depends on your own vision, and it depends on the current timing. Wei was obviously fighting against the Shu Han army in Nanyang, but the main force was deployed in the Jianghuai area, which in itself was distrust of Eastern Wu, which was enough to make the Wu people fearful.
In other words, the moment Wei transferred Zhang He from Guanzhong to Nanyang, the initiative was already in the hands of Shu Han, more precisely, Zhuge Liang.
After Zhang Wen and Hu Zong discussed, Hu Zong returned to Wuchang to report to Sun Quan, and Zhang Wen stayed behind to continue negotiations with Wei Ba. In the evening, Wei Ba set up a banquet to entertain Zhang Wen, of course Fei Yi had to accompany him, the three of them sat around the fire by the Han River, Ding Feng took a few soldiers to be busy, hung an iron kettle full of water on the fire, and arranged people to set up nets to catch fish, get some vegetables, and hunt some game. When the moon rose from the East Mountain, the fish soup had just been boiled, and the fresh fragrance came to the nostrils, and Wei Ba said with a smile while cutting the game into thin slices and throwing it into the kettle:
"Eat your game today, talk wild words, if you say it wrong, no one is allowed to laugh, how about it?"
Before Fei Yi could speak, Zhang Wen smiled first: "The general has a military order, how dare I disobey." On behalf of my brother-in-law, I thanked the general for his good governance in Yulin, Lu Gong's reputation spread in Jiaozhou, and Liu Gong was able to broadcast knowledge, turning barbarism into Xia, and relying on the general. Not only is the Lu family inexplicably grateful to the general, but we and other Wu Jun Shilin are also praising the general. General, please fill this cup. ”
Wei Ba Haha smiled: "I have to drink this glass of wine." Although I don't read much, I still have a lot of respect for people who are really knowledgeable, like Brother Hui Shu and Brother Wen Wei. ”
Fei Yi shook his head with a smile and raised his glass
