Flags fluttered in front of the Zhennan General's Mansion, and two hundred mighty and majestic warriors lined up left and right in front of the door, straightened their waists, clenched the halberd in their hands, and opened their eyes like angry King Kong. Their armor is bright, and even in this hot weather, the leather armor is meticulously pierced, as if they can go to the battlefield at any time.

Those with discerning eyes can see that these people are not just guides (honor guards), they are the most elite soldiers under General Zhennan - the Wei family soldiers. These people are usually tasked with escorting in peacetime and first in wartime, and are usually not used to welcome guests unless a special guest arrives.

Li Feng knew this inside story, so he was very proud and enjoyed it very much. He walked into the Zhennan General's Mansion with a high chest, looking forward to himself, until he saw Wei Ba coming out of it, he relaxed his body, showed a friendly smile, and said politely: "General, why be so polite, I'm a regular guest." ”

Wei Ba laughed loudly: "Today is different, if you want to send the young general to the battlefield, bend your respect, and raise the prestige of our country, how can you not be brave for the young general." ”

"It's just a deputy envoy, just follow Da Honglu and walk around the field, how can it be so important."

"Major General, do you really think so?" Wei Ba still had a smile on his face, but he showed a little unease. Seeing his expression, Li Feng couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He hurriedly smiled and said, "I also want to ask the general for advice." ”

Wei Ba looked at Li Feng carefully for a moment, and then smiled. "I think I'm overthinking. The major general inherited the family style of the general and was familiar with the art of war. How can you not understand the truth of plotting and fighting? Major General, although the negotiations are only a battle of lip kisses, they are no less dangerous than on the battlefield. If you are negligent, the land that countless soldiers have taken with their blood may be destroyed, and you can't make us warriors chill. ”

Li Feng really didn't take it too seriously. He knew that Lao Tzu Li Yan actually didn't want to negotiate with Wu Guo at all, and it was good that the talks collapsed, so he had a reason to start a war with Wu State. Letting him participate in the negotiations this time should have two effects, one is to let him see the monarchs and ministers of Wu Guo, and the other is to give him the opportunity to cooperate with the two important generals of Zhendong and Zhennan. Bring you closer. It will pave the way for taking over the general's military power in the future. That's why he was so polite to Wei Ba.

Hearing Wei Ba say this at this moment, he couldn't help but show his attention, and hurriedly said, "Please rest assured, general." I will do my best to assist Da Honglu. Argued. ”

Wei Ba nodded with satisfaction. While letting Li Feng inside, he said: "Da Honglu Du Jun is full of knowledge and Confucianism, and he is knowledgeable. That, of course, is nothing to worry about. It's just that he has been a scholar for too long, but he has no experience at the negotiation table, and he will inevitably be restrained by words when the time comes. In terms of eloquence, Fei Wenwei is a rare talent, but he is just ......"

Wei Ba smacked his lips and didn't say any more, but Li Feng understood it. Fei Yi is Zhuge Liang's person, and he will definitely not contribute to this negotiation. Fei Yi came to Hepu to ask to see Wei Ba, but Wei Ba avoided it, which already explained the problem.

"Therefore, the heavy responsibility of Zuihou to decide the outcome still falls on the young general." Wei Ba invited Li Feng to sit down and sat down, and then said calmly: "I believe that General Zhendong will consider the same as me, as long as the major general gives an order, we will wave our troops to the east and drive forward for the general." ”

"Thank you very much." Li Feng arched his hand, and the smile on his face was like a flower.

Wei Ba raised his wine glass and met his eyes. "Major General, I wish you success first."

"Haha......" Li Feng daxiao, drank it all, put down the wine glass, and he pretended to be a city government pondering for a moment: "That...... I would like to ask the general, if you want to use the sword, how long will the general need to prepare? ”

"Now." Wei Ba poked the case table with one finger, and the corners of his mouth were slightly crooked: "When the order of the young general arrives, I will personally go into battle to crusade against Eastern Wu." ”

Li Feng frowned. He's not a fool. He has been in Jiaozhou for so long, but he has not heard the slightest rumor of fighting, there is neither a sign of conscription, nor a convoy to transport grain and grass, how can Wei Ba be dispatched at any time. He didn't want to trick me. When I turned my face with Wu Ren, he didn't make any movement, so I couldn't get off the stage and make a big talk?

"The Major General has doubts?" Wei Ba laughed silently: "Young General, don't worry, you go to negotiate, I will arrange someone to go with you." As long as you decide to do it, at most twenty-four hours, my pioneer battalion will appear in the territory of Wu State. ”

Li Feng was in a trance and understood: "General, is this tight inside and loose outside?" ”

"Of course, be prepared."

Fa Miao echoed: "Major General, you may not know much about it, the military system under General Zhennan is slightly different from that in Chengdu, and 30,000 standing troops can be dispatched at any time. Jin Dongliu is only thirty miles away from Changsha County, and the morning and evening are coming. It is precisely because of this that Sun Quan arranged Prince Deng in Changsha, and he was afraid of General Zhennan, but he did not dare to have any negligence. Even the slightest hint of wind and grass will not be able to sleep. ”

Li Feng suddenly realized, and clapped his hands with joy. "This is great, with the assistance of General Zhennan, what do I have to worry about."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

……

Sun Song and Zhang Wen held the cart in their hands, looked at the shadows of the trees on both sides of the rapidly retreating, glanced at each other, and rushed with gloom.

They had already received Sun Quan's order, Li Yan sent Du Qiong to negotiate with Wu to negotiate the issue of vassals, a military conflict was inevitable, and at this time it was no longer meaningful to talk nonsense with Wei Ba, or rush back to Wuchang to prepare for war. It was Sun Song and Zhang Wen who said goodbye to Wei Ba and rushed back to Wuchang as quickly as possible.

They took the official road, which was opened since the Qin Dynasty and has been continuously maintained since then. However, there are many mountains and rivers in the Wuling area, and the official road can not be compared with the Central Plains, many sections of the road are excavated on the cliff wall, and the narrowest place is only five or six feet, which can only allow a car to move forward cautiously, which is very similar to the five-foot road in the south.

However, the road they saw this time seemed to have been repaired again, not only widened in many places, but also smoothed, and many places along the way were being built with wood, food, and post stations. All this seems to be ordinary, but in the eyes of Sun Song and Zhang Wen, who know the inside story, this is a signal: Wei Ba is quietly making pre-war preparations.

On this issue, they once asked Wei Ba explicitly or secretly, but Wei Ba did not leak a drop of water, and denied it flatly, he always said that he hoped that the negotiations would succeed, after all, for Wu State, this is only a nominal issue, can he be a vassal to Wei State, and Weishenme can also be a vassal to the Han Dynasty? Anyway, Wu and Wei have already broken up, so why not take this opportunity to strengthen the alliance with the Han Dynasty. He believed that Sun Quan was sensible and would not object, so this negotiation should be relatively smooth, and he would not go to the place where he would use his sword.

Sun Song and the others scoffed at this, they thought it was Wei Ba's perfunctory words, and it showed his wolf ambitions. What is the title of a minister, it was originally said that the haode covenant was to divide the world, and Sun Quan was to be called the emperor. If you want to be the emperor, you don't need to call anyone a vassal, whether it is Wei or Shu Han. The reason why he is not proclaimed emperor now is because Shu Han has always been between friends and foes, Sun Quan's strength is insufficient, and he is worried that once he becomes emperor, he will be attacked by Han and Wei, so he has not made this great gift for a long time. But in his heart, he is the Emperor of Wu who stood side by side with the Han and Wei dynasties. Back then, he was a minister to the Wei State, just because Liu Bei wanted to go east to avenge Guan Yu, he was forced to bow his head helplessly, how could he change to Shu Han to be a minister, this is not how many years of struggle, zuihou has come back again.

Sun Song's heart was heavy. Since a big war was inevitable, he had to think about what it would be like after the war. The most likely way for Shu Han to march was for Meng Da to attack Jiangxia and Wei Ba to attack Changsha. Meng Dana is not terrible all the way, firstly, Meng Da's strength is limited, and secondly, Lu Xun is in Yingchuan, which is enough to block Meng Da's attack, but Changsha is very nervous all the way, can Sun Deng stop Wei Ba? It's just a joke.

Sun Deng is the crown prince, and if he wins, he will not be promoted to the knighthood, but if he loses, it will be very unfavorable to him. It's obvious. When Sun Quan sent Sun Deng to Changsha, many ministers, including Lu Xun, objected, and the son of a daughter could not sit in the court, let alone the prince of a country, with the experience of Sun Xian's death on the battlefield, it was even more contrary to common sense to send Sun Deng, a scholar, to the front line. So much so that some people suspect that this is Sun Quan's dislike of Sun Deng and deliberately let him die.

This is, of course, a rumor, and a rumor that can only be spread privately behind the scenes. However, Sun Song, who knew about Sun Quan's harem battle and knew very well the differences between Sun Quan's father and son in politics, had to be vigilant at this time, maybe this rumor was not groundless. It is unlikely that Sun Quan would send Sun Deng to death, but it is entirely possible to let him suffer a setback, and then logically deprive him of the crown prince. It is said that he is very fond of Sun He, who is just nine years old, and is not under the concern of Sun back then.

Sun Song was preoccupied.

"Prince, the car fifty paces ahead." Zhou Yi, who pretended to be an entourage, came over quietly, his lips did not move, and his voice was a little muffled, but he could hear it clearly.

Sun Song looked ahead. It was a light carriage, two horses driving, the horse was very strong, the man driving the carriage was expressionless, but the figure was very strong, and the eyes that occasionally glanced over were also full of vigilance, and the whole person was like a strong bow ready to attack.

Sun Song had a strange feeling, as if there was a very important figure in the carriage. Just as he was about to ask Zhou Yi, the carriage stopped, and on the side of the road, the curtain of the carriage was raised, revealing a gentle smile.

An elegant middle-aged man leaned on the carriage and arched his hand to Sun Song: "This distinguished guest, please go first." ”

Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows, urged him to step forward, and shouted in a deep voice: "Who are you and how do you know us?" ”

The middle-aged man smiled slightly: "I don't know who you are, but Zhang Huishu of Wu County is famous all over the world, and between Han and Wu, as long as you have seen a little bit of the world, how many people are not proud to know Zhang Huishu?" Although this distinguished guest is young, he can sit on the head of Zhang Huishu, and he must be a noble person of Wu State. Although I am just an ordinary person, I still understand this truth. ”

Zhou Yi stared at the middle-aged man's eyes: "Dare to ask the name of the high surname." ”

"Hehehe......" The middle-aged man smiled: "A cheap name is not enough to defile your ears." However, since Zhang Huishu is here, it would be a pity that I didn't seize this opportunity to get acquainted. In the lower Linyuan Pan's branch, the name is dive, and the word is hidden. ”
