Chapter 092: Luring the Wolf into the House
Wei Ba held on to a rough tree pole and looked at the inside and outside of Fangling City in the distance, his mood was extremely heavy.
Sima Yi didn't send people to attack at all, he just attacked Fangling unscrupulously, even more fiercely. He clearly expressed his contempt for the so-called reinforcements. After attacking for a day during the day, and returning to the camp in the evening, Wei Ba thought that today's day was over, but he didn't expect that just an hour later, the war drums sounded again, and the Wei army launched an attack again.
What does Sima Yi want to do? Wei Ba thought a lot, although he was not sure if Sima Yi was as he guessed, but Sima Yi did not take the reinforcements in his eyes, but wanted to take down the Fang Ling in one go, which was obvious. This has nothing to do with the arrival of reinforcements, he was originally a surprise attack, and the surprise attack is about a quick battle, and if it drags on for a long time, his own grain and grass pressure will force him to return in vain.
Wei Ba knew that under such a reckless attack, Fang Ling was under a lot of pressure, and Meng Da was probably already shouting for help, as reinforcements, he should take the initiative to attack at this time to reduce the pressure in the city and give them confidence.
But Wei Ba also knew that it was okay for his more than 1,000 people to defend this mountain, and if he wanted to take the initiative to attack a large camp with tens of thousands of people, even if the other party was attacking the city, it was a very risky idea. Sounds hot-blooded, but it's actually very **. The only result of this is to lose the lives of more than a thousand people in vain, but it will not have any impact on the actual situation of the battle.
Once his more than 1,000 people were defeated by Sima Yi, and even their heads were cut off by Sima Yi and taken to the city, the defenders in the city were likely to collapse immediately, actually doing Sima Yi a favor.
Wei Ba doesn't do such stupid things. He would rather watch Meng Da being killed by Sima Yi than he would do it.
In fact, whether Meng Da dies or not, whether Fangling will be conquered by Sima Yi is not the main issue in the first place. His purpose of working so hard was not to save Meng Da at all, but to have his own goal - to show Zhuge Liang his ability, and moderately test Zhuge Liang's bottom line, to see to what extent he can accept his subordinates to do their own thing, and do a risk assessment for the future soldiers out of Meridian Valley. As long as this goal can be achieved, what does Mengda's life or death have to do with me?
It is unwise to provoke Zhuge Liang in order to save Meng Da, and to lose his life in order to save Meng Da, it is not a matter of wisdom or unwisdom, but a complete idiot, two hundred percent **.
Now Wei Ba still doesn't understand Zhuge Liang's attitude towards Meng Da, so he can be regarded as having lived twice in vain. Meng Da is capricious, even more unreliable than Lu Bu back then, and even worse than Lu Bu is that he is also inextricably linked with the remnants of Dongzhou within Shu Han, once he returns to Shu Han, the Dongzhou system rises again, and the Jingxiang system represented by Zhuge Liang will inevitably be contained. As a member of the Jingxiang family, Wei Ba didn't want to see this scene appear. What's more, if Meng Da has his own people, then the Wei family's status in Hanzhong will also be greatly affected, and this result is even more unwilling to be seen by Wei Ba.
From Zhuge Liang's point of view, the purpose of supporting Meng Da is not to rescue Meng Da, but to allow Meng Da to support and contain Sima Yi for half a year or more, so that he has enough time to pass through Longyou. From Wei Ba's point of view, the purpose of crossing mountains and mountains to support Meng Da was just to realize his personal ambitions.
In this case, how could he choose to rush down the mountain and make a moth-to-fire attack?
"Join the army, if you wait like this, I'm afraid the city won't be able to support it." Zhang Yu squatted on another thick branch and reminded softly.
"I know, but it doesn't make sense for us to rush like this." Wei Ba looked at the Wei army camp in the distance, and said faintly: "Ziwang, have you noticed, the big camp facing us has not moved, according to the scale, it should be about two to three thousand people." As long as we rush down, we will face two or three times as many enemies, and it will not be so easy to come back. ”
Zhang Yu sniffed. The night breeze is very cold, and although you can see far away from this high place, it is really uncomfortable to blow cold. He took out a handkerchief from his bosom, wiped his nose, took it back again, and said, "But if we sit idly by, it won't be long before the people of the city despair." ”
"Yes, you have to give them a little hope." Wei Ba glanced at the battlefield below the mountain again and slid down the trunk of the tree. Zhou Yu had been waiting with his head tilted down below, and when he saw Wei Ba and them coming down, he asked urgently, "How is it, is the fight fierce?" ”
Wei Ba nodded, walked briskly back to his tent, and spread out the map. Keep your eyes on the map for a weak spot to attack. His gaze slowly turned to Mulan Se, thought for a long time, and shook his head again. Mulan Sai is more than 400 miles away from here, and far water can't quench the thirst of the near. What's more, the eldest brother Wei Feng has already taken more than 4,000 people with him, and it doesn't matter if there are more than 1,000 people with him. Even if Mulan Sai is captured, it will take three or four days to get here, and it is doubtful whether it will be in time.
Wei Ba poked his finger at the position of Mulan Plug and sighed regretfully.
"Young Master, are you looking for other reinforcements?" Atsumu asked softly.
"Well, with only a thousand of us, it's okay to bluff, but if you really want to attack, it's basically useless. I thought maybe I could give it a try if I could get a few thousand more. ”
Dun Wu hesitated for a moment: "Then Wu Jun is okay?" ”
"Wu Jun?" Wei Ba was a little surprised: "Meng Da still has a connection with the Wu people?" ”
Dunwu looked at him unexpectedly: "The young master doesn't know? ”
Wei Ba's face darkened: "How do I know this, you haven't said it." ”
Dunwu scratched his head and didn't say anything more. "The location of Fangling is a very critical position, you can enter Nanyang to the east, Hanzhong to the west, and Zigui to the south. After he surrendered to Cao Wei, Fangling became the contact point between the three kingdoms, Cao Wei surrendered to me, I surrendered to Cao Wei, and even the envoys of both sides had to pass through Fangling. After the defeat of Guanhou, Zigui and Wu County were divided into Guling County by the Wu people, and Wu General Pan Zhang was the Taishou of Guling, so he was stationed in Zigui. According to the information we have received, Meng Da also has contacts with the Wu people, and this time he rebelled against Wei, he is likely to get in touch with the Wu people and ask for reinforcements. ”
Wei Ba let out a long breath, the matter was far more serious than he had guessed. Meng Da actually stepped on two boats, he didn't want to surrender to Shu Han at all, or rather, he didn't mean this at all, he just wanted to dominate the three eastern counties, wander between the three kingdoms, and occupy the mountains as the king. No wonder Zhuge Liang didn't have the sincerity to save him, this kind of uncooked goods, died early and was born early.
"That'...... Where will Wu Jun come from? ”
"Onkyo." Dunwu nodded not far from Fangling South.
Wei Ba's eyes lit up suddenly: "How far is it from here?" ”
"Less than a hundred miles."
"Do you know the road?"
Dunwu glanced at Wei Ba puzzled and laughed: "Of course I know." I have entered Zigui from this road many times before to inquire about the news of the Wu people. ”
Wei Ba also smiled and clapped his palms: "Call Zhang Yu and Zhou Yu, I have a way." ”
Dun Wu saw that Wei Ba was happy, and he was also happy, so he turned around and went out. It didn't take long for Zhou Yu and Zhang Yu to come in a hurry, and as soon as they entered the account, they asked impatiently: "Is there a way to join the army?" ”
"Well, I've figured out a solution." Wei Ba motioned for them to sit down, pointed to the position of Anqiao Sai and said, "Our liliang is not enough, but there is a liliang, which is likely to be not far away." ”
"Wu Jun?" Zhang glanced at it and screamed in surprise.
"Not bad. If my guess is correct, it is likely that Wu Jun is also on his way to help. Onkyo is the best place to stop them. However, it is impossible for Sima Yi not to notice this, he will definitely send people to guard it, just like Mulan Sai, it is difficult for the Wu army to break through from the front. If we attack Anqiaosai from behind and bring in the Wu army, there will be enough liliang to pose a threat to Sima Yi. ”
"Good plan!" Zhou Yu praised it.
Zhang Yu was silent for a moment: "Joining the army and introducing the Wu army into Fangling, but luring the wolf into the room." ”
Wei Ba laughed. He wasn't worried about this, since Meng Da wanted to step on two boats, it would definitely not be possible for Fang Ling to become a part of Shu Han, with the current situation, if the Wu army was not introduced into the new city, the new city would inevitably be taken away by Sima Yi. Instead of this, it is better to bring Wu Jun in and muddy the water a little more.
When the water is muddy, it is possible to fish in muddy waters. Moreover, it is safer to attack Anqiaosai with more than 1,000 people than to go down the mountain to attack Sima Yi's camp.
Of course, these insiders can't say anything to Zhang Ling, as long as they carry out the order. Maintaining a sense of mystery is also a skill for officials.
Seeing Wei Ba's insistence, Zhang Ling no longer objected. Wei Ba immediately ordered a few people to stay here to take care of the signal lights, and he quietly left the mountain with his people and ran to Anqiaosai overnight.
The moon is dark and the wind is high, and it is the time to kill. —————— ask for recommendations, ask for collections!
