As Wei Ba said, he and Zhang He are now beating wolves with hemp sticks, and they are scared at both ends.

Zhang Hesheng was afraid that his cavalry was equipped with horse armor, so he did not dare to easily dispatch light cavalry to raid, so he could only rely on each other with his foot soldiers, guard under Pengcheng, and wait for Wei Ba to relieve the siege of Pengcheng. In this way, he is tantamount to giving up the mobility of the cavalry, and is defending instead of attacking, and waiting for the rabbit. In case Wei Ba's cavalry was fierce, he could also defend with the help of foot soldiers to reduce casualties.

Wei Ba was also nervous. What Cao Rui wants to do, he knows very well. If you want to gain an advantage at the negotiating table, you must first gain an advantage on the battlefield, at least not let Cao Rui have the upper hand. Peng Cheng must be saved, if he sits back and watch Zhou Yin, Ding Feng and the 10,000 foot soldiers under their command be trapped and killed by Zhang He, then his prestige as a god general will come to an end. However, he could not save lightly, because his troops were insufficient, especially not enough cavalry, and he could not resist Zhang He's 15,000 cavalry head-on.

What's more, in the area of Mount Tai and Lu Kingdom, there are also Wang Ling and Tian Yu's men and horses who may rush to help at any time.

If you want to support Zhou Yin and Ding Feng, you must send grain, grass and ordnance into Pengcheng, you must break the blockade of Zhang He, and you must retreat. At the end of the day, he needs more troops.

The army he can still mobilize now is the men and horses of Jingzhou, and the most convenient is Deng Ai's headquarters stationed in Changsha. But Deng Ai could only mobilize more than 10,000 people, which was far from enough.

If Xiahou Xuan and Sun Shao returned, then he would have enough manpower. Xiahou Xuan and Sun Shao had a total of nearly 20,000 horses, even if there were some losses during the conquest of Yizhou, there should be more than 10,000 people. Once they join the fight. It can not only make up for the shortcomings of insufficient troops, but also enhance the momentum and achieve a certain psychological advantage.

When Gu Cheng brought this news, he naturally knew the mystery. While Wei Ba was happy, he couldn't help but feel that the knowledge of the children of the family was indeed not comparable to ordinary people. There may be one or two golden phoenixes flying out of the chicken nest, but from a long-term perspective, in terms of the overall quality and quantity of talents, the children of the family still have an advantage.

So the three generations of the Cao family fought with the family, and Zuihou was defeated; The Sun Quan brothers fought with the family, but there was no good result; Zhuge Liang and the family fight. Now the rebels are leaving. Sima Yi's father and son used the family's Liliang to establish the Jin Dynasty. But later, there was no good result, and the power fell, and the king and the horse shared the world.

It comes down to a word. The Maison does not only have a lot of material resources at its disposal. They have more intellectual resources at their disposal. Tough with the Maison. How could it be pleased? For such a mountain, it can only be slowly hollowed out, but it cannot be moved all at once. Otherwise, it will inevitably be counterattacked by the family.

"What's the trick for Zizhi?" Wei Ba changed his title, which can be regarded as truly incorporating Gu Cheng into his own system.

"This army is a strong force on expeditions overseas, and it is good at naval and land battles. Surabaya is narrow, I am afraid that they will not be able to exert their full power, so as to admit their foolish opinion, it is better to let them go on an expedition to the Bohai Sea. ”

Wei Ba looked at Yu Yan and Zhang Yi: "What do you think?" ”

Yu Yan and Zhang Yi glanced at each other, and said in unison: "General, this plan is very good. ”

"Then act according to the plan, send someone to welcome Xiahou Xuan and Sun Shao, let them not dock, go directly to Elk Island to rest, and then go to the Bohai Sea."

"Whoa."

……

On Elk Island, Elfang sat on a leeward boulder, looking at the sparkling sea in the distance, which was very comfortable.

The island overseas of Qu County is now officially named Elk Island, which means that Wei Ba sealed this island to the Elk family in advance and became the private property of the Elk family. This made Elfang very satisfied. Wei Ba's fiefdom is now Zhuya Island, although the population is only equivalent to two or three counties, the territory is far more than that, in fact, Wei Ba is close to the king. Elk Island can't be compared with Zhuya, but compared with the common county marquis and pavilion marquis, this island is still very rich as a food town.

Elfang was very satisfied with Elway's investment vision, and vaguely saw the dawn of the re-emergence of the Elk family.

As a person who has been excluded and even reduced to a general, he is very satisfied with everything today, even if Yu Yan next to Wei Ba is the same as his father Yu Fang, there is always a trace of disdain in his eyes, he is still calm.

Your Yu family is tough, don't you also come to serve Wei Ba now? In terms of first come, first come, Elk Wei is ahead of you, and in terms of Wei Ba's trust, you Yu Yan can't be compared with Elk Wei, so what is there to be proud of.

"The head of the family, the general has a letter here." An old servant walked up and handed a letter in both hands.

Elfang didn't take it immediately, he first wiped his hands with a silk handkerchief, then took the letter, carefully cut the letter bag with a book knife, took out the pale yellow letterhead inside, read it carefully, and then a smile bloomed from the corner of his eye.

"Inform the young master, there is another big business to do."

"Whoa." The old servant retreated.

Elfang put her hands behind her back and looked at the sea level in the south, full of emotion. Treasures from Yizhou, how much profit is this? Elway, this time we must make good preparations, and strive to turn Jizhou and Qingzhou upside down, and share the worries of the general cavalry. Well, I can't be idle, I have to go to Tarzan again and visit Yangfa.

……

A fast horse rushed into Chang'an City.

Li Yan had just taken a nap for a while when he was woken up by Li Feng. He was a little annoyed, but when Li Feng said a word, he immediately turned his anger into joy.

"General Wei Ba of the Che Cavalry, and General Lu Xun of Wu Fuguo, jointly asked the general to send troops."

Li Yan turned over and sat up, snatched the letter from Li Feng's hand, read it twice, and laughed silently: "Shaft, good means." ”

Li Feng stood beside the bed, looking at his father who was smiling but the corners of his eyes were constantly beating, and his heart was frightened. He said that Wei Ba has good means, what means does Wei Ba have that are commendable? Wei Ba's troops are scattered now, and he can't even relieve the siege of Pengcheng, Lu Xun is entangled by Xiahou Ba and others, and in desperation, he can only ask Guanzhong for help.

Li Yan glared at Li Feng, disappointed in his heart, but had to explain patiently: "What kind of person Lu Xun is, the prime minister can appoint him as the commander of the middle route army, naturally because he likes his ability, and because his brother Lu Mao is an official in Chengdu, I hope to make Lu Xun meritorious and compete with me and Wei Ba." But now, Lu Xun is actually advancing and retreating with Wei Ba, which is naturally Wei Ba's victory. This is one of the best ways to do it. ”

"Wei Ba and Lu Xun have a total of more than 50,000 troops, even if they are defeated, there are still 30,000 to 40,000 troops to mobilize, Chen Dao and Deng Ai did not participate in the battle, Jin Dongliu is even far away in Guiyang, and with the strength of Wei Ba and Lu Xun, do they really need to ask me for help? No, this is the meaning of giving me the opportunity to make meritorious contributions together and deal with the prime minister together. They attracted the main force of the Wei army to the area of Pengcheng, and Meng Da sent troops, which could easily enter Chenliu and Luoyang, and shake Cao Wei Jinggi. Showing favor to me and demonstrating to the prime minister is the second good means. ”

"If you want to stretch and bend first, if you want to advance and retreat first, Wei Ba stayed in Pengcheng, Lu Xun retreated to Qianjun, the two did not make a big move, they dragged Cao Wei's main force, so that Cao Rui's idea of forcing peace with war was frustrated, and he made room for counterattack, and won without a fight, which is the third good means."

"Moving the heart of the family with a martial artist, controlling tens of thousands of people with more than 10,000 troops, and winning victory without a fight, it can be seen that Wei Ba's use of troops and power and strategy have been superb, and there is a magic in lifting weights." Li Yan sighed with emotion: "My son, you have to taste Wei Ba's every move, there is a true meaning in this." Looking at it as a man-made thing, such as watching the layout of the master, the tricks are subtle and do not show traces, as the so-called good fighters have no outstanding merits, which has to be admired. ”

"Father is clever." Li Feng complimented him a little depressedly.

"I'm smart enough to have a fart, and it's meaningful for you to be smart." Li Yan muttered, got up and walked back and forth in the house twice: "Do you think we should send troops?" ”

Li Feng frowned, pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't think it's appropriate to send troops." Guanzhong finally got some respite, and with some savings, once the troops are dispatched, I am afraid they will be exhausted again. ”

"You're right, but just because we can't send troops doesn't mean we shouldn't." Li Yan smiled coldly, and glanced back at the inexplicable Li Feng: "Don't say it yet, wait for Fa Miao to come and see how he makes a plan." ”

"Whoa." Li Feng understood and sent someone to invite Fa Miao.

After Fa Miao came, he thought for a while, and then said: "Guanzhong has just gained a rare rest, and the people's hearts have been decided, so it is indeed inappropriate to send troops at this time. However, you might as well take this opportunity to ask the imperial court for some money and food, and besides, it is also a good opportunity to send someone to Luoyang to see the situation. ”

Li Yan laughed and exchanged glances with Li Feng. Li Feng was ashamed. He felt that his train of thought was really a little out of track, if it wasn't for his father telling him the beauty of this beforehand, he wouldn't be able to understand Fa Miao's intentions now, and maybe he would have to refute it. Now, with a look of approval, Fa Miao would definitely think that he drew inferences from each other and knew the trick of it, but how did he know that this was explained by his father in advance.

"What Bo Yuan said is very good, then please write it, and ask the Prime Minister's Mansion to allocate more money and food to me." Li Yan sighed: "The prime minister owes a lot of debts, and he went back to Chengdu to continue to be the prime minister. He can't die without help, he has to help, right? As for Xin'an, I should also take a look, Huo Yi has been sticking to Xin'an for so long, and he should be allowed to rest. ”

Fa Miao also smiled. Li Yan wanted to fish in troubled waters, use the potential caused by Wei Ba and others to make Zhuge Liang a problem, and take this opportunity to take back Xin'an's military power, just like driving Wang Ping away before, in fact, it was a trick to take advantage of the situation.

Zhuge Liang returned to Chengdu and regained control of the Son of Heaven, and his control over Guanzhong was bound to decline. After Wei Ba made a move and relieved Cao Wei of the danger of sending troops to Guanzhong, Li Yan gradually eased up and began to clear Zhuge Liang's chess pieces in Guanzhong......
