Xiahou Hui persuaded Sun Luban in a few words. In order to promote Zhao Tong's great achievement, Sun Luban turned against him, pestering Sun Quan to immediately agree to the alliance with Shu Han, and he must agree that Wei Ba would use the matter of Daonanjun to let Zhao Tong lead the army into Nanjun to support Xiangyang.

Although Sun Quan did not agree immediately, Fei Yi and Wei Xing obviously felt that Sun Quan was not so resolute. They took advantage of this opportunity and threw out two of the most tempting conditions: Wei Ba was willing to transfer a series of engineering jishu, including thunderbolts and repeaters, to Wu, and to open several passes on the Jiaozhou trade route to share with Wu, and no longer impose high tariffs.

As soon as these two conditions were said, Zhang Wen, who was in charge of the negotiations, immediately became calm. Of course, the former condition goes without saying, Wei and Shu Han's crossbow carts and thunderbolt cars are all sharp weapons on the battlefield, although Wu also has them, but the quality is always not up to par, Zhang Fen's mechanical level is obviously not as good as Wei Jun's Ma Jun, let alone compared with Wei Ba. Wei Ba agreed to transfer these two jishu, and Sun Quan would definitely be moved.

However, the families of Wu Land will be more excited about these two conditions.

Wu and Shu are both in Tuntian, south of the Yangtze River, and to put it in detail, the population density of the area controlled by Wu is still greater than that of the area controlled by Wei Ba, but the effect of Tuntian is just the opposite. According to the detailed work that infiltrated the territory of Shu Han, a large number of various machinery was implemented in Shu Han to replace manpower, and now even terraces have been opened up on the slopes of the mountain, leading water to the mountains, and crops are everywhere, and the utilization rate of land is far better than that of Wu. Although the meticulous workers are looking around, Shu Han is very tightly controlled, and once they find suspicious characters, they will be arrested immediately, and if they find a paper with a pattern. Then you don't have to be polite, you will be sent directly to the mountains to work as a coolie, and you will never be able to return home in this life.

So far, Wu Guo has lost a lot of fine works, and he has also learned some jishu, but they are all rough appearances, and they can be used after Zhang Fen's transformation, and the effect is not as good as the original after all.

If Wei Ba is willing to transfer these jishu, the most beneficial will of course be the family with more land and less labor.

As for the opening of the Jiaozhou Trade Road. Reduction of customs duties. That's not to mention.

After Zhang Wen confirmed that what Fei Yi said was not empty words, he went to see Sun Quan in a hurry.

After listening to Zhang Wen's report, Sun Quan couldn't help but sneer: "It seems that Wei Ba is really in a hurry, and he is willing to give me the greatest reliance on his life." Forgiveness. Do you think he's going to hide a hand? ”

Zhang Wen was excited. But he didn't dare to show the slightest hint on his face. He is a member of the Wu clan. Of course, you have to consider the problem from the perspective of the big family, but he is now Sun Quan's representative, if Sun Quan feels that he only cares about the interests of the Jiangdong family. Regardless of the interests of King Wu, the result will not be good.

"The king is extremely worried, in my opinion, Wei Ba is worried about his brother, so he wants to borrow Nanjun. The fact that Zhao Tong took on this task was nothing more than because Zhao Tong acted steadily and would not cause conflicts between Wu and Han. King, the business road can be passed and reinstated, but once the drawings are delivered, they can no longer be recovered. If the king is not at ease, he can send Zhang Fen to check first, at this moment Wei Ba has a request for me, I believe he will not dare to do anything. ”

"But let my daughter be a concubine, this matter ......" Sun Quan smacked his lips and didn't say any more, Zhang Wen also didn't answer, he was a little admired, I don't know who Fei Yi sent and what means he used to persuade Sun Luban. It's good for him to keep silent about it.

Sun Quan immediately convened several close ministers to discuss the matter. In fact, there is no need to discuss, as far as the current situation is concerned, it is definitely beneficial for Wu to maintain an alliance with Shu Han and let them attack Xiangyang with confidence. As for whether Wu used troops in Jianghuai, and to what extent, Shu Han couldn't control it at all, and it was not Sun Quan himself who had the final say. Even if he hooked up with Cao Rui in private, Wei Ba couldn't care about it.

Being able to get such a big concession as Wei Ba's transfer of jishu and opening up trade routes is already the biggest benefit that Sun Quan can get, can you still let Wei Ba spit out the three counties of Jingzhou and the seven counties of Jiaozhou that he ate?

Sun Quan was relieved, and the negotiations that were pulled down entered into detailed negotiations.

At the same time, Sun Quan replied to Wei Ba's notice that he was going to enter Linyuan, and after Wei Ba received the reply, he immediately set off for Linyuan.

When he arrived in Linyuan, Wei Ba saw Hu Zhong.

Hu Zhong was Li Yan's messenger, and after meeting, he explained his intention straight to the point. Li Yan could agree to Wei Ba's mother Deng, his wife Guan Feng and others coming to Jingzhou, but Wei Ba wanted to support more food for Meng Da to facilitate the victory of the Xiangyang War. If Wei Ba agreed, Deng and the others could make the trip immediately.

Faced with Hu Zhong's conditions, Wei Ba said angrily: "I hope that Hu Join the Army can realize that there is not much difference between my family coming a day later and coming a day earlier, but the battle of Xiangyang is imminent, and you still care about these details, does it make sense?" I won't tell you anything, I have basically negotiated with Sun Quan, he will let us borrow Daonan County, and I will send Zhao Tong to personally escort the grain and grass to ensure the supply of grain and grass for three months for the current 20,000 army in Fangling. ”

Hu Zhong heard this and was very surprised: "The general is ready?" ”

"If you don't believe it, you can ask Sun Quan yourself, and by the way, ask him how much I have paid." Wei Ba was heartbroken, and his cheeks kept twitching, as if he had dug out a piece of heart.

Hu Zhong pondered for a moment: "General, do you have confidence in the battle of Xiangyang?" ”

Wei Ba asked in surprise: "Fox joins the army, this sentence should not be asked by you, but by me." Jihua, who was decided by the hussar general, you must have the honor to participate in the army, I want to ask you, are you confident? ”

Hu Zhong avoided answering: "I just want to know, is the general confident?" ”

Wei Ba shook his head without thinking: "No confidence, no at all." ”

Hu Zhong smiled: "Since you don't have any confidence at all, is it not worth it for you to pay such a big price?" ”

"It's not worth it." Wei Ba sighed: "One is the prime minister, the other is the hussar general, what they decide, what else can I, a little general Zhennan, say?" I know that I don't have much chance of success, so I have to do my best. I only hope that General Meng and they can live up to their expectations and succeed immediately. ”

"The prime minister didn't agree."

"But he didn't object."

"What if it's the opposite?" Hu Zhong looked at Wei Ba with a smile: "Will you still support the hussar general?" ”

"Opposite to this war?" Wei Ba was taken aback and straightened up: "How come I've never heard of it?" ”

"The prime minister has no objection." Hu Zhong shook his head: "I just wanted to ask the general." If the prime minister is against it, will you still support the hussar generals? ”

Wei Ba frowned lightly and pondered for a moment: "Fox joins the army, I can't answer your question." I would like to ask whose orders should I follow, whether it is the order of the Prime Minister's Mansion or the order of the Hussar General's Palace? ”

Hu Zhong was speechless for a while, Wei Ba pushed the question back, and he couldn't answer it.

Wei Ba smiled: "I only listen to valid orders, and the orders of the hussar general are effective." I'll listen to the hussar generals. The prime minister's order is valid, and I will listen to the prime minister. In case they have a conflict and a conflict, then I have to see whose order comes first. It's up to you to carry out someone's order first. But. I believe that the prime minister and the hussar general cooperate tacitly. There shouldn't be such a problem. You say yes, right? ”

Hu Zhong nodded noncommittally, a hint of uneasiness flashed in his eyes.

"Let's get down to business." Wei Ba put away his smile: "I'm writing a note, and the fox joins the army to help me straighten the axe." Make comments. ”

Hu Zhong looked at Wei Ba in surprise and took the draft of the recital. It can be seen from the tone and rhetoric that this is indeed a draft, and it has not yet been polished by Yang Xi.

Hu Zhong frowned when he saw half of it: "The general thinks that Sun Quan is not credible, so he still wants to transfer those jishu to him?" ”

"What can I do?" Wei Ba said helplessly: "I don't give him a little sweetness, he doesn't even lend me the Tao." In order to support the war in Xiangyang as much as possible, I had to endure the pain of cutting my flesh. But then again, what kind of character Sun Quan has, the hussar general should know very well, and it seems a little unrealistic to pin his hopes on Sun Quan to send troops to Jianghuai. I am very skeptical that the more than 20,000 men under Meng Da alone can have a shocking effect on Wancheng. I suggest that if the preparation is insufficient, it is better not to fight this battle of Xiangyang, the battle is together, and the outcome is unpredictable, so it is better to concentrate and help the prime minister to hold Guanzhong. ”

Hu Zhong pondered for a while: "If the hussar general must launch the battle of Xiangyang, will the general have a way to win?" ”

"Hardly." Wei Ba shook his head: "In my opinion, if it's just to contain the forces of the Wei State, it's okay to feint." If you want to shake Nanyang with this point, it is almost impossible. ”

"What if the general commands the troops?" Hu Zhong looked at Wei Ba with blazing eyes: "The general will lead 20,000 people to the north, and the strength will be guaranteed." ”

Wei Ba pondered for a while, but still shook his head: "I still can't move, the foundation of Jiangnan and Jiaozhou is not stable, and Sun Quan doesn't want to take it back for a day, I can't be careless." In my humble opinion, if the hussar general really wants to win this battle, it is better to attack in person, with me here, the Wu people do not dare to go west, and the armies of Yongan and Jiangzhou can all go north, and they should be able to gather 50,000. ”

Hu Zhong was shocked: "Let the hussar general attack in person?" ”

Wei Ba laughed, and smiled weirdly: "If the hussar general wants to make meritorious contributions, this is the only chance. Otherwise, Meng Da will not only not become the help of the hussar general, but will cut off the hussar general's arm, and it will be too late to regret it. However, if the hussar general personally commanded the troops, the chances of success would be greatly increased, and the merit would not necessarily be weaker than the prime minister's Northern Expedition. The fox joined the army, do you think this is the truth? ”

Hu Zhong looked at Wei Ba's smile in a daze, and a chill suddenly felt in his heart. He knew very well what Li Yan was thinking. Li Yan insisted on letting Meng Da send troops to Xiangyang, on the one hand, to find an excuse to cut off the grain and grass in Jiaozhou, and on the other hand, he did have the intention of making meritorious contributions to increase his strength. However, Li Yan's mind was not only in the Dongzhou department, he also wanted to win over the Jingxiang department, because the Xincheng garrison that gathered Meng Da, Zongpre, and Wei Feng became the most suitable choice. However, fundamentally speaking, he didn't want Meng Da to rise because of this, and he didn't want to see Meng Da lose at the hands of Sima Yi, in that case, he would not be able to face Zhuge Liang's counterattack.

Wei Ba suggested that Li Yan personally enlist, which was undoubtedly a very tempting suggestion, but at the same time, the risk also increased exponentially.

The key to this is whether Wei Ba really thinks about Li Yan, or whether it is just a plan to lure Li Yan out of Chengdu, but Wei Ba's suggestion has already exposed his ambition...... (To be continued......)
