Fei Yi walked into the inner city calmly, with a calm smile on his face, and kept bringing this smile to Sun Quan, and then he stepped forward and saluted solemnly.

However, everyone can see that this is purely courtesy, and has nothing to do with tension.

Sun Quan sat crookedly on the couch, half-squinting at his famous blue eyes, looking at Fei Yi with a smile, and a few purple whiskers at the corners of his mouth trembled. Zhuge Ke, who was standing next to him, saw it, stepped forward, and said with a smile: "Jun is calm today, could it be that there is any good news?" ”

Fei Yi looked at him and smiled reservedly: "Rejoice and rejoice." ”

Zhuge Ke blinked: "Prime Minister Zhuge has won a big victory?" ”

"Exactly." Fei Yi's face did not change, turned to Sun Quan, and said loudly: "The foreign minister has just received the news that my prime minister's Northern Expedition has been completed, and he will return to Guanzhong." Now the army has been divided, and it will arrive in Yong'an in a few days. When he heard that the king was here, he wanted to meet with him, and asked him to wait a few days. ”

The smile on Sun Quan's face froze, and then he laughed again: "Isn't your prime minister in Longyou, why did you only take Guanzhong, but didn't mention Longyou?" ”

Fei Yi smiled slightly: "The prime minister's use of soldiers, there is no way to change, it is very imaginable." Everyone in the world thinks that the prime minister intends to be in Longyou, but I know that I originally intended to be in Guanzhong. King, the topography of Guanzhong is much more important than that of Longyou. Moreover, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and if you start in Guanzhong, how can Longyou survive alone? ”

The corners of Sun Quan's mouth twitched, speechless. He knew that Fei Yi was lying and covering up for Zhuge Liang, but he had no evidence to prove it, and Fei Yi solved it all with a sentence of not getting tired of cheating. Zhuge Ke was also a little embarrassed, and he didn't believe what Fei Yi said, but could he say that his uncle was shameless in front of so many people, and take other people's credits as his own?

The two monarchs and ministers looked at each other and smiled bitterly, helpless against Fei Yi's clever argument. Fei Yi has been to Dongwu several times, and they have competed countless times, and there are really not many times when Fei Yi can be deflated.

"Since Prime Minister Zhuge has news. And how did he reply to my proposal? Sun Quan no longer went around in circles with Fei Yi, and went straight to the point: "Should or shouldn't, should I be given a letter today, right?" ”

Fei Yi nodded: "The prime minister did reply." But. Cheng has some different opinions from the king's thoughts. ”

"Disagreement?" Sun Quan sank his face, sat up straight, and touched his knees with both hands. Snorted. Zhuge Ke and the other attendants also immediately put away their smiles, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became cold. Sun Quan sneered: "I didn't need to pay attention to him, it's just because of the covenant. That's when he was informed. Do you think I can't do it if he doesn't agree? ”

Fei Yi looked at him and arched his hand: "The king, the prime minister of my family, it is precisely because of the alliance between the two sides that he reminded the king." ”

"yes, I'm listening. He reminded me of something. ”

"King, if I remember correctly, your title of King Wu was worshiped by Cao Wei, right?"

Sun Quan glared at Fei Yi angrily and snorted coldly. No reply will be given. He couldn't answer either, because Fei Yi was telling the truth.

"If the king is called the emperor, I don't know if Cao Rui will send an envoy to congratulate him, or if he will send a large army to crusade?"

"He wants to capture Guanzhong now, how can he have any troops to invade my Jiangdong." Yang Wei picked up the conversation and said unhurriedly: "Besides, even if he commits a big crime, what can he do." After several southern invasions, which time did he not return defeated? ”

Fei Yi chuckled, looked at Yang Wei, shook his head, and looked very disdainful. When Sun Quan saw it, he was even more unhappy, his face was gloomy, and he was about to scold, but Fei Yi coughed: "King, have you forgotten the position of King Wu, how did you come about?" Do you want to do it again? ”

Sun Quan was stunned for a moment, and his face suddenly turned red.

How did the throne of King Wu come about? Sun Quan knows best. At that time, Cao Pi had just usurped the Han Dynasty and his position was unstable, but he was facing the crisis of Liu Bei's large-scale attack. He was afraid of being attacked by Liu Bei and Cao Pi on both sides, so he had to call Cao Pi a minister, and Cao Pi made him the king of Wu. Now that he is in Yizhou, he has forced Zhuge Liang to admit that he is the emperor, if Zhuge Liang does not accept it, he may fight with Shu Han again at any time. This is similar to the situation back then, but the question is, even if he is a vassal to Cao Rui again, will Cao Rui be able to make him emperor? Cao Rui will definitely send troops to fight and let him fight on two fronts.

What's more, Fei Yi pointed this out in this way, which made him very faceless and unable to refute it at all.

Seeing Sun Quan's embarrassment, Zhuge Ke hurriedly spoke out to relieve the siege: "Don't forget, although you have won Guanzhong, Guanzhong is desolate, and in the short term, Guanzhong cannot be self-sufficient." Moreover, Guan Zhong is condescending and knows the importance of Cao Wei to the whole world, compared with the repeated invasion of Wu and returning without success, how could Cao Wei give up on it? But you, even if the war goes smoothly for a while, how long can the whole country be armed? ”

Fei Yi shrugged his shoulders and disagreed. "Please rest assured at this point, Guanzhong is impregnable, Cao Wei has been attacking for several months, and it is still difficult to advance an inch. If we hold on any longer, I'm afraid it's not us who can't support it first, but him, so well, you see, he will withdraw his troops soon. By that time, he should have enough troops to defeat Wu. ”

"You said he would withdraw his troops?" Yang Wei sneered.

"If he doesn't withdraw his troops, we will force him to withdraw his troops." Fei Yihaha smiled: "Because, if he doesn't withdraw his troops, I'm afraid that Wancheng will not be protected." ”

Sun Quan's eyes shrank, and he said sharply: "What did you say?" Are you going to attack Wancheng? ”

Fei Yi nodded: "King, this is the second task I came to meet today. Our army will attack Wancheng, in order to avoid misunderstanding among our allies, we hereby inform you. ”

Sun Quan, Zhuge Ke and others looked at each other. In the Battle of Guanzhong, the situation in Yong'an was tense, and Zhuge Liang still had the strength to send troops to Wancheng? Did he really send troops to Wancheng to deal with Cao Rui, or did he send troops to Jiangling and copy my back road in Eastern Wu?

As Wei Ba said, Xiangyang is an itchy meat, as long as you touch it lightly, whether it is Cao Wei or Dongwu, you will get nervous. The more Fei Yi spoke calmly, the more Sun Quan beat the drum in his heart. Before getting the exact news, it is impossible for him to fully believe Fei Yi's words, but Fei Yi, as an envoy of a country, officially notified him, but it is impossible that it is groundless, and it is likely that Zhuge Liang did have this intention.

"So, this thing...... Not negotiable? Sun Quan said in a deep voice.

"That's not what it meant." Fei Yi shook his head, "It's just that the timing is not right now." If the king wants to be the emperor now, the prime minister of my family is busy with military affairs, and he will definitely not have time to congratulate the king. This is also for the sake of the king, and please forgive the king. ”

Sun Quan didn't say it anymore, and Zhuge Liang said that the timing was not right. There was no outright opposition, apparently leaving room for discussion, and at the same time using this as a bait. Just as he threatened Zhuge Liang to attack Yizhou, Zhuge Liang threatened him in turn.

Wu Shu's strength is about the same, and Wu is slightly stronger, but the gap is not so absolute. What's more, there is also a Wei State next to him. Sun Quan did not dare to guarantee that if he became emperor, the Wei State would be indifferent. If Wei Shu reaches an agreement again, they will jointly attack Wu. That's a real problem.

If it weren't for Cao Pi's eagerness to seek moral support, how could he have survived that difficulty. As long as Chen Bing is on the riverbank, he will be in big trouble. The current Cao Rui is not the Cao Pi of the past, he is decisive in handling things, and he knows what is wrong, and it is impossible to fall for him again. And Zhuge Liang is not a pedantic person, and he is not as impulsive as Liu Bei. It is entirely possible that he and Cao Wei turned enemies into friends and joined forces to attack Eastern Wu. Even if it's just containment and containment like now, without really doing it, it's enough for Dongwu to be nervous.

Sun Quan had to consider the consequences and carefully weigh the measures that Zhuge Liang might take.

Just when Sun Quan was hesitating. Lu Xun, the general of the auxiliary state, sent the news that the Shu Han army had strengthened the vigilance of Anqiaosai, and a large number of scouts had entered the borders of Wu, and it seemed that there was a big move. After scouting, a large number of ordnance was being built in the area of Fangling, and the person in charge of this affairs was Wei Ba, who had just made contributions in Guanzhong.

This news confirmed Fei Yi's words, but only half of them were confirmed: the Shu army will send troops from the direction of Fangling, whether it is aimed at Wancheng or not, it is difficult to say now, looking at this jiashi, it is more like targeting Wu State.

Sun Quan became nervous and immediately summoned Fei Yi and asked him that Shu Han would strengthen the vigilance of Anqiaosai.

Fei Yi replied to him very calmly: We have strengthened the vigilance of Anqiaosai, just like the king to increase his troops in Xiling, which is a very normal thing, what's so strange?

Sun Quan was speechless, and after a while, he asked again, "Wei Ba...... Really came to Fangling? ”

Fei Yi was a little hesitant, as if he didn't want to say much, and after a long while, he reluctantly nodded: "Yes, he is the representative sent by the prime minister to coordinate the battle in Fangling, and the various ordnance he built in Guanzhong has played a great role in the offensive and defensive battles in Guanzhong." The prime minister hopes that he can also play well in the battle of Wancheng. ”

Sun Quan exchanged a look with Zhuge Ke and the others, shuddering. Wei Ba is a rare talent among the younger generation of Shu Han, and last year, he thwarted Sima Yi's surprise attack and saved Fangling. This year, he was in Chang'an, and he firmly occupied Chang'an with only 20,000 people, so that Cao Wei's army of more than 100,000 could not move forward. When such a person arrives at Fangling, he can no less than 10,000 elite soldiers. No matter who he is targeting, he can't be taken lightly.

From another point of view, Wei Ba's departure from Guanzhong proves that what Fei Yi said is true, the outcome of the battle in Guanzhong has been decided, Cao Wei cannot recover Guanzhong in a short time, and the war has entered a stalemate stage. Since this is the case, it is entirely possible for Cao Rui to temporarily withdraw the army, take a breath, and prepare for another battle. After all, the consumption of 100,000 troops is too great, even if the strength of Wei is strong, it will not be able to support it all the time.

The question is, who is sure that the fist that Cao Rui withdrew will not be Dongwu in the next attack?

……

Just when Sun Quan was suspicious by this news, Cao Rui of Wancheng was also figuring out the changes in the situation. Compared to Sun Quan's conjecture, he was much clearer about the situation. He had just received a letter from Xiahou Mao, knowing that the Battle of Longyou had ended, and in addition to Shangqi, Zhang He had successfully completed the task and regained control of Longyou. However, Zhuge Liang's main force entered Guanzhong, which strengthened Guanzhong's defensive ability, and also made his hope of recovering Guanzhong even slimmer. At this time, Wei Ba rushed to Fangling and fought hard, which naturally contained most of the meanings.

Yes, Wei Ba is here to stir up the situation, this is not a conspiracy, it can even be said to be an upright conspiracy. However, the position of Xiangyang is so sensitive, and there is a lack of real trust between Wei and Wu, even if this move is false, it is enough to complicate the situation. What's more, the 30,000 army, plus the ordnance built by Wei Ba, already has the ability to turn fiction into reality, who can guarantee that Wei Ba will not really send troops to Xiangyang?

Thinking about it deeply, if Wu Shu reached an alliance again and joined forces on the Northern Expedition, who could guarantee that Xiangyang would not be lost?

Cao Rui did not dare to slack off, and convened the ministers to discuss, and Zuihou had to take a relatively conservative measure: increase the troops in Xiangyang, and order Sima Yi of Wuguan Dao to retreat to Wuguan to rest and recuperate, ready to reinforce Xiangyang at any time. He ordered the governor of Yangzhou, the manchu, to prepare for crossing the river to fight, threaten Sun Quan's back road, and contain Sun Quan, so that he would not join forces with Shu Han again.
