Cao Rui would think of this, of course, not only because of Empress Guo's reminder, but out of understanding Wei Ba and Sun Quan.

Who is Sun Quan? Ruthless, ruthless, soft and hard, but if you want to take advantage of him, it is not easy. Back then, he was able to withstand the pressure, and the battle of Chibi shattered Emperor Wu's dream of unifying the world. More than ten years later, he took advantage of Guan Yu's Northern Expedition to tear up the alliance that had just been signed and attacked Jingzhou, causing Guan Yu to lose Maicheng. Later, in order to be able to deal with Liu Bei, who wanted to avenge Guan Yu, he swallowed his anger and bowed to Emperor Wen. When Emperor Wen asked him for a hostage, he repeatedly shirked and deceived the envoy Haozhou, and Zuihou got through the difficulties as he wished, and turned his face again.

Such a person, how could he have just been robbed of a large piece of land by Wei Ba, and in the blink of an eye, he greeted Wei Ba with a smile on his face, and asked him to enter Yuzhou? If it is true, there is only one possibility, that is, Sun Quan, like him, wants to dig a pit in Yuzhou and bury the scourge of Wei Ba.

Cao Rui even wanted to join forces with Sun Quan at the beginning, but considering that Sun Quan was not a good bird, Zuihou couldn't make up his mind after all.

But Wei Ba is also not a person who is easy to deceive, would he take such a big risk and do something else for Li Yan?

Cao Rui has always had such suspicions, but when all kinds of evidence pointed to Wei Ba's intention to surprise the army, he knew that there might be doubts in it, so he had to prepare in advance and be prepared.

In fact, even now, he couldn't be sure where Wei Ba was. Wei Ba has been active in Nanjun since Xiangyang was conquered by Li Yan. It is already difficult for Wei Jun to go deep into Nanjun to find out the news, Wei Ba Zuihou appeared in Dangyang, and then disappeared, where he is, no one can say. Judging from his identity, the 10,000 centaurs of unknown origin are most likely to be led by him, and only he can be qualified to let Chen Zhi be a pioneer.

This is the most conclusive evidence, but it is only a matter of appearance, and it is not the case. No one knows for sure. Soldiers don't get tired of deceit. True or false, it's normal. In this case, if Wei Ba intends to set up a game, he will make such an illusion. Not only possible. And very likely.

Mrs. Guo as an outsider. re-pointed out this problem with the simplest and most direct thinking, and the question that Cao Rui had been hiding in his heart naturally resurfaced.

Xiangyang has Li Yan and Meng Da. It is unlikely that Wei Ba was there. If he was not in Yuzhou, then he would either escort grain and grass for Li Yan in Nanjun, or in Nanxiang or elsewhere. Considering Sun Quan's jealousy of Wei Ba, it seems that he is a little more likely in Nanxiang. Once Nanxiang County is conquered, Wancheng can be threatened to the east, and Wuguan Dao can be controlled to the west. Once Wuguan is recaptured, there will be one less way for the Wei army to attack Guanzhong.

Judging from various indications, if Wei Ba is indeed not in Yuzhou, then he is most likely in Nanxiang, and this is a problem that has not been considered before, which is in line with the principle of winning by surprise: the east and the west, and the attack will be saved, but it is unexpected - to attack Nanxiang, 10,000 people is too little, and it is not in line with Wei Ba's identity as the general of Zhennan. But because of this, this is the most likely scenario.

Cao Rui did not dare to be careless, and immediately ordered Mrs. Guo's uncle, Guo Li, the commander of the cavalry, to lead 5,000 cavalry to Shunyang to support Cao Yu and Wuqiu Jian.

……

As the sun sets, Danya is like fire, reflecting the blood color of Shunyang City. Danshui has become a veritable Danshui, and even the floating waves seem to be on fire, stinging everyone's eyes.

The day's fierce fighting was over, and the ships loaded with thunderbolts and ballistas covered each other and returned to the main camp in turn. The officers and men of the baggage battalion who had been waiting immediately rushed up to the battle, sorted the damaged warships and ordnance, repaired them on the spot if they were not seriously damaged, and dragged them back to the baggage battalion for repairs if they were seriously damaged, while those who were basically scrapped removed the usable things on them, and threw the rest aside and dried them for two days before they could be used as firewood.

The wounded soldiers were placed in a centralized manner and treated and bandaged by specialized healers. In the guard camp brought by Wei Ba, there are more than 100 barbarian girls in the Divine Dog Camp, who are not only proficient in dog training, but also know some basic nursing knowledge. In fact, just their presence in the wounded barracks can bring comfort to those injured soldiers. With them, coupled with the help of the officials, slaves and maids of the baggage camp, the emotions of the wounded are quite stable, and with the treatment, the recovery will be faster.

However, the barbarian girls of the Divine Dog Battalion are led by Guan Feng, and most of them are a little arrogant, and no one dares to ask for this kind of thing, but there is a battle courage that is favored by the barbarian girl, and it has secretly become a good thing. To a certain extent, this also boosted morale, those young soldiers with strong blood and strength usually stepped up their martial arts for the sake of Bojiaren, and they were particularly heroic when they went into battle, and they were not depressed when they were injured, but showed off everywhere as if they had won medals. When passing by the place where the barbarian girls appeared, they even spoke louder.

Wei Ba sat at the edge of the Danshui, holding the fishing rod in his hand, and frowned: "Sister, can you take care of your subordinates?" It's so noisy, I'm scared away. ”

Guan Feng glanced at him and said with a smile: "It's not easy to manage, let Wang Shuang bring a few heavy armor soldiers, and make sure that there is not even a single ghost." ”

"Heavy armor soldiers are used to kill enemies, not to scare their own people." Wei Ba shrugged helplessly and put away the fishing rod. "Forget it, anyway, the smell of Danshui blood in the past two days is too raw, and the fish caught are not delicious."

"I'm afraid it's not that the fish is not delicious, it's that the fish is too big to catch." Guan Feng glanced around and glanced at Nanhu. Nanhu comprehended, drank a sigh, and drove the barbarian girls who were flirting with the wounded soldiers away. Guan Feng leaned against Wei Ba's side, squeezed him with his shoulder, and raised his eyelids: "Can you tell me what your plans are now?" ”

"Do you have to say it now?" Wei Ba frowned slightly, "Can't you say it at night?" ”

"Phew!" Guan Feng blushed and took a bite at him: "Can you talk well at night?" ”

"Ahem." Wei Ba smiled awkwardly: "Isn't that trying to fulfill your wish and give birth to a baby as soon as possible." This one...... That's what I'm going to do. ”

"You don't have to come with me like this." Guan Feng feigned anger and reached out to pinch Wei Ba's arm: "You don't say it." If you don't say it, I'll really pinch it. ”

"I said, can you promise not to leak it out?" Wei Ba looked at Sesedan Water and smiled slightly.

"Yes." Guan Feng hurriedly reassured.

"Actually, it's nothing, I just want the prime minister to know that the person he should guard against the most is not me, but Li Yan." Wei Ba raised his head and naturally glanced around, his voice as flat as the wind. "My strength is growing too fast, the prime minister is in Guanzhong, but his heart is in Jingzhou. Obviously, there is food in the pass. But I still want Li Yan to transport grain from me. He is not only looking for problems for Li Yan, but also trying to drain my strength and limit my development. ”

Wei Ba laughed, and then said, "Li Yan is not a good bird either. He used the name of prime minister to blackmail me. If I don't obey. offended both of them at the same time. If I obey the order, then they will scavenge all the little food I have worked so hard to grow. Zuihou Prime Minister has Longyou, and Li Yan is his Xiao He. What about me? It was his Tuntian Lieutenant. If I keep being so obedient, maybe he can give me a little hope, such as leaving a place for me under Ma Jian and Jiang Wei. ”

Speaking of this, Wei Ba couldn't help laughing, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his smile.

"Now Li Yanxing's division is mobilizing the crowd to attack Nanyang. If he gets Nanyang, he will be able to sit on an equal footing with the prime minister, and the prime minister will probably not pay attention to me. Wei Ba smiled: "The prime minister is the most calm and wise, but when there is a tiger, he will never deal with my monkey first." Li Yan is not stupid, if he wants to confront Cheng, of course he must be polite to me, otherwise, he will only have no bones. ”

"Then can Li Yan take Nanyang?"

"Dangerous." Wei Ba shook the fishing rod in his hand: "Of course it's a good thing to take it, and it's not a bad thing if you can't take it." As long as he can take Xiangyang and Fancheng and pose a threat to Wanluo, even if he bites into this bait, it will not be so easy to let go. ”

"So, you set up such a big game, just to drag Li Yan down. And dragging Li Yan is to make him the prime minister's enemy and attract the prime minister's attention? ”

Wei Ba frowned: "Don't be too close to Yuanrong, close to Zhu is red, close to ink is black, her careful eyes are full of calculations and tricks." ”

"No matter how black her heart is, is it even darker for you?" Guan Feng glanced at him: "In your game of chess, you have counted the prime minister and Li Yan into it." ”

"Awards, awards." Wei Ba grinned proudly: "What you said is not enough, if Sun Quan is not included, Eastern Wu will not send troops, how can Cao Rui send the main force to Yuzhou, if Cao Rui does not send the main force to Yuzhou, how can Li Yan attack Xiangyang and Fancheng?" This game of chess is not so simple within our Han Dynasty. Of course, if it weren't for Yinbo, I wouldn't have dared to expect to be able to do this. This is probably providence, when you want to sleep, someone will bring a pillow. ”

Guan Feng thought for a moment and suddenly realized. She was about to say something, Fu Xing strode over from a distance, she quickly closed her mouth, and reminded softly: "Zhong Jian is here." ”

"Well, you go get busy." Wei Ba flicked his wrist, and the fishhook drew a beautiful arc and entered the water again.

"Ziyu, your skills are getting more and more sophisticated, how many have you caught?" Fu Xing looked at the fish basket and saw that there was nothing inside, so he couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "What, you learn from Jiang Taigong, and those who wish to take the bait?" The fish in this Danshui are not so spiritual, you have to give some bait. ”

"Zhong Jian thinks, what is the most haode bait?" Wei Ba beckoned, a martial artist took a Hu bed, Fu Xing took it, and sat next to Wei Ba: "Ziyu, Zirou has been gone for a few days, and there is no movement, will there be difficulties?" ”

"Isn't it normal to have difficulties?"

"But in this way, if we want to conquer Shunyang and Nanxiang, it will inevitably drag on for too long."

"If you can attract a part of the Wei army, you will have completed the task." Wei Ba glanced at Fu Xing: "Do you still want to steal the limelight from the hussar general?" ”

Fu Xing rubbed his hands: "That's what I said, but it's hard to come out and fight, if you don't get any gains, wouldn't it be very shameless?" ”

"Can face be eaten as a meal?" Wei Ba smiled slightly: "A gentleman sees an opportunity, and if he is inorganic, he will wait for it, and he should not act rashly." Jane, be patient, and fish. ”

Fu Xing looked at Wei Ba's flushed face in the sunset, and thought thoughtfully...... (To be continued......)
