"Can Wei Ba and Li Yan take Wancheng?" Sun Quan asked Fei Yi again.

This is the eleventh meeting since the start of the war, and it is the second question asked at this meeting, and as for how many times he has asked before, Fei Yi can't count it.

In general, since Cao Rui retreated to Wancheng, Sun Quan's confidence was obviously insufficient. On the one hand, he hoped that Li Yan and Wei Ba could make persistent efforts to conquer Fancheng, and then conquer Wancheng, forcing Cao Rui to move the capital, so that he could take the opportunity to pocket the Jianghuai region. On the other hand, he was worried that after Shu Han occupied Nanyang, he would turn to force him to hand over the entire Jingzhou.

If Wu loses Jingzhou and Jiangling, it will be the same as Wei losing Guanzhong and Nanyang, and the enemy will be forced to the gate. Cao Rui can still retreat to Hebei, but he has nowhere to retreat, can he retreat into the sea to be a pirate?

Comparatively speaking, it was the first worry that was more realistic, and Sun Quan had almost decided that Shu Han was unable to occupy Nanyang, and this joint Northern Expedition must be an empty joy.

Fei Yi knows everything about Sun Quan's psychology of gains and losses, but he can't explain Sun Quan, after all, Sun Quan is not a fool, and he can't believe it if you say two empty words. You have to show that his fears are unfounded.

But Fei Yi didn't. He could neither prove that Wei Ba and Li Yan would definitely be able to take Nanyang, nor could he prove that Shu Han would not be unfavorable to Wu after taking Nanyang.

He now knew very well what the contract in Wei Ba's hand was.

He was surprised by Wei Ba's audacity, but he couldn't tell Sun Quan the truth. If Sun Quan knew that the contract was forged by Wei Ba at all, I am afraid that Sun Quan would go crazy now.

The Han-Wu alliance can come this far. That contract played a crucial role. Without this contract, none of this would have been possible today.

Although Fei Yi has always boasted that he can deal with things without being surprised, compared to Wei Ba, he feels like a timid child.

Fei Yi knew that so far, Zhuge Liang had not replied to Wei Ba, neither denied nor admitted it. In fact, this is a very dangerous signal, and it can basically be considered that Zhuge Liang has rejected Wei Ba's plan. And he was ready to use this matter as a knife hanging from Wei Ba's neck. It can be dropped at any time.

Fraudulently used the name of Zhuge Liang, forged the prime minister's handwriting, and forged the prime minister's seal, no matter what the reason. It was enough to knock Wei Ba into the abyss. Let him never be reborn. As one of Zhuge Liang's cronies. Fei Yi knew very well what Zhuge Liang's silence meant.

But he wanted to get out at the moment, but he couldn't. If he stays out of the matter now, then the war in Nanyang will be over, and Li Yan can push it cleanly. Wei Ba is the only one who bears the responsibility, but what he loses is a great opportunity to seize Nanyang.

This is probably the only reason why Zhuge Liang hesitated.

Fei Yi is now so sorry that his intestines are green, and he can't wait to drag Wei Ba over and kick him twice, but in the face of Sun Quan's worries, he still has to make a disapproving look.

"Wang, did you believe that Li Yan could take Xiangyang?"

Sun Quan raised his eyebrows and did not say anything.

Fei Yi asked again: "King, did you believe that the prime minister could capture Guanzhong?" ”

Sun Quan still didn't speak, he understood what Fei Yi meant. With Wei Ba, there is hope, in addition to these two examples, there are several more suitable examples to mention, but those are all Wu Guo's scars, and Fei Yi doesn't want to uncover them in front of him.

Speaking of details, there are really a lot of miracles on Wei Ba. Compared to those miracles, Wancheng doesn't seem to be anything.

"King, Cao Rui retreated to Wancheng, Sima Yi was trapped in Fancheng, you better hurry up and seize Jiangxia." Fei Yi was anti-guest and accused Sun Quanlai: "Jiangxia has been attacking for almost a month and a half, and if you work harder, you can break the city." ”

When it comes to Jiangxia City, Sun Quan is on fire. "I said Fei Wenwei, Wei Ba is not kind to this."

"Why isn't Wei Ba kind?" Fei Yi was inexplicable.

"He gave me the blueprints for the thunderbolt and the repeater, but he didn't give me the way to make a stone bullet. The power of this thunderbolt is huge, but the supply of stone bullets is really amazing. I'm too late to make stone bullets with thousands of people now, so how can I attack the city? ”

Fei Yi suddenly realized that he almost laughed out loud. No wonder Sun Quan is on fire, Wei Ba's trick is indeed a little damaged. gave the blueprints of the thunderbolt car, but did not give the mechanical drawings for making the stone bullet, Sun Quan used manual grinding of the stone bullet, which took up a lot of manpower or could not be supplied, and those powerful thunderbolt cars could only be put on a show, and Sun Quan could not get on fire?

Of course, Fei Yi knew that Wei Ba had drawings for making stone bullet machinery, but he couldn't tell Sun Quan. When Wei Ba decided to hand over the drawings of the thunderbolt to Sun Quan, he still felt that Wei Ba was confused, and he held Tai'a and gave people sharp weapons, but now he understands that Wei Ba left such a hand.

Without an adequate supply of stone bullets, what is the use of more thunderbolts?

"I really don't know about this." Fei Yi said solemnly: "However, I can ask Wei Ba to see if he has such drawings." ”

"You'd better hurry up and ask." Sun Quan said angrily: "Without enough stone bullets, I can't attack Jiangxia City, and I don't have Liliang to go north to support you in the battle." ”

Fei Yi understood that this was Sun Quan's condition to blackmail Wei Ba. This is not surprising, this is Sun Quan's most usual trick. But then he thought about the fake contract again, in this matter, what is Wei Ba's next hand? Why does he think that Zuihou can escape the punishment of the prime minister?

……

Zhao Tong got up and sent Lu Lan out of the camp. Seeing Lu Lan disappear into the camp of the Wu army in the distance, he turned around and returned to the big tent, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Lu Lan came to visit him, nothing else, nothing more than to greet the princess in the name of encouraging Zhao Tong to accept Lu Xun's suggestion and send troops to attack Kunyang. Zhao Tong is not a fool, he knows very well what it means to capture Kunyang and how much risk it is, so he has not let go, even Sun Luban's eyes are about to fly.

Fortunately, although Sun Luban was domineering, he didn't dare to let Zhao Tong get off the stage in front of outsiders, so as long as Zhao Tong didn't let go, she didn't dare to agree indiscriminately, even if she was a hundred willing.

Or it can be said that she believes that Zhao Tong can make the most haode choice.

"Husband, why don't you agree?" Zhao Tongyi entered the account, and Sun Luban greeted her in a hurry, which suffocated her just now.

"Princess, don't you think General Lu has his own intentions in doing this?"

"What's the point? What a credit it is to capture Kunyang and cut off Cao Rui's retreat. ”

Zhao Tong thought for a moment, picked up a piece of cake from the plate on the desk, and sent it to Sun Luban: "Princess, is this cake fragrant?" ”

"Xiang, I've eaten several." Sun Luban nodded vigorously: "However, what does this cake have to do with General Lu?" ”

Zhao Tong smiled: "Can the princess eat it in one bite?" ”

Sun Luban looked at the cake with a radius of one foot, and shook his head in embarrassment: "Then you can't choke to death?" ”

"That's right." Zhao Tong nodded: "Nanyang is this cake, it is indeed delicious, but if we want to eat it in one bite, there will only be one result, that is, we will choke." But if that's ......"

He tore off a corner of the cake and handed it to Sun Luban's mouth, Sun Luban raised his eyebrows, and grabbed the cake with Zhao Tong's hand, kissed Zhao Tong's finger with a ruddy lip, looked at Zhao Tong with a spring face, saw that Zhao Tong's face was hot, lowered his head, avoided Sun Luban's fiery eyes, and looked at the cake in his hand. "If we eat it in small bites, we can not only eat the bread, but also not be in danger."

Sun Luban realized this and was immediately furious. "I understand, General Lu wants you to fight Kunyang because he wants to block Cao Rui in Nanyang, which is obviously trying to choke you to death. He's got a bad heart. ”

Zhao Tong bowed slightly, but he was not angry: "General Lu inherits the will of your father and is wary of us, which is also human nature. Let's be careful not to let him do it, and that's it. ”

"Humph!" Sun Luban took two bites of the cake hatefully, as if he was biting Lu Xun's meat. She was very angry with Lu Xun's sinister intentions, and she was glad that Zhao Tong did not fall for him.

"So how can we eat one bite at a time?"

"In the art of war, it is said that the most prudent way is to encircle three and one, cut their fighting spirit, and gradually encroach on them." Zhao Tong explained softly and slowly: "I believe that after Wei Ba and Ma Jian meet, they will not go straight to Wancheng, but will enter the area of Xinye." If we can enter at the right time and the two armies will meet, it will be possible to cut off Sima Yi's retreat, and then join forces with the hussar generals to inflict heavy damage on Sima Yi, and then attack Wancheng. Regardless of whether Cao Rui sticks to Wancheng or withdraws from Nanyang from Kunyang, we all have the opportunity to capture Wancheng and capture Nanyang. ”

Sun Luban nodded again and again, thought for a while, and said with some doubts: "But in this way, how can you be promoted to three levels in a row?" ”

Zhao Tong couldn't cry or laugh, and reached out to pat Sun Luban's hand: "Princess, officialdom has its own rules in officialdom, how can there be such a thing as being promoted to three levels in a row?" ”

"So he lied to me?" Sun Luban suddenly raised his eyebrows, she thought about it, and said: "No, Wei Ba is younger than you, and he joined the rank later than you, but his current official position is higher than yours, and he is almost equal to his father." How many levels is this in a row? ”

Zhao Tong was speechless and hurt his self-esteem. Compared with Wei Ba's promotion speed? May I ask who else in the world can be promoted faster than Wei Ba except for the prince and the king, isn't it boring to find yourself.

"Don't worry, it's chaos." Zhao Tong didn't know whether he was comforting Sun Luban or comforting himself: "If you fight this well, there is no problem in being promoted to general." And although my official position is not high, I have already received the Linyuan order, and Wei Ba has handed over the affairs of Wuling to me to be in charge, and I am actually already a Taishou of 2,000 stones. It is also possible to become a minister in the future. ”

"But I still want you to surpass Uncle soon." Sun Luban held his cheeks, and his slightly thick eyebrows frowned slightly. "Since he has been promoted two levels in a row, you have to be promoted three levels in a row. Moreover, this is what he promised me, and he can't play tricks. Otherwise, what face do I have to meet Ziyu? ”…… (To be continued......)
