Yin Fan looked at Wei Ba's eyes as sharp as blades, and all the defenses collapsed at once. Originally, some vague doubts jumped out at once, and all had reasonable explanations. He staggered back two steps, raised his trembling hand, and pointed at Wei Ba's cold face: "From beginning to end, it's a trap? ”

Wei Ba nodded.

"Did you design it, or did Li Yan design it?"

"I made a suggestion, and the specific jihua was designed by Li Huqi. Of course, I don't have to be humble, there is also my hard work in this. Wei Ba smiled self-deprecatingly: "When it comes to dealing with spies, who else can be more proficient than me, who has been a spy?" ”

"And ...... quarrel between you?"

"Premeditated." Wei Ba laughed, like a cunning fox: "But the lines are all improvised, how about it, isn't it realistic?" ”

Yinfan's legs were a little weak, and he could only hold on to the lamppost next to him to keep himself from falling. Layers of sweat beaded on his forehead, his lips lost their blood, and his eyes were anxious, but he refused to give up. He racked his brains to recall the passage of this time, and said, "Then your brother ......"

"He doesn't know." Wei Ba shook his head: "This matter, except for me, Li Hussar, and Hu Zhong know, no fourth person knows, not even Meng Da knows." He smiled: "To be honest, we value you as an opponent very much, and there is no luck mentality." In order not to make you suspicious, we have made the most careful arrangements so that everything seems very natural. ”

"Thank you for your high esteem." Hidden sweat is like rain, and his heart is like ashes: "Is this a little comfort for the loser?" ”

"Nope. It's our heart. Wei Ba stretched out his hand to help Yinfan to sit on the seat, poured him another glass of water, watched Yinfan drink, and then continued: "Actually, this is not exactly a scam, at least part of it is true. ”

"Dare to ask."

"Jihua who sent troops to Yuzhou was indeed proposed by me." Wei Ba pinched his fingers and said with a faint smile: "But it turned out that I didn't expect Sun Quan to agree, so I just wanted to use this to bargain with the hussar general, and later found out that Sun Quan agreed very happily, so I became suspicious." And then later. We learned that Zhang He had arrived in Xinye. It was decided to plan and lead the main force of the Wei army to Yuzhou. Because I know that it is not only Sun Quan who wants to kill me, but also your emperor Bixia and the hussar general father and son also very much want to make my head into a wine vessel or a drowning vessel. ”

"So. You want to get away with it. Pretend to be reluctant. but fell out with Li Yan again, and let Li Yan force you to go. Concentrate the main forces of the Wei army and the Wu army in the Runan area, and then the main force goes to Nanxiang County? Yinbo looked at Wei Ba with a desolate expression: "Say so." Chen Zhi and Feng Jin both went to Nanxiang? ”

"No, not exactly." Wei Ba shook his head, "You only guessed half right, Feng Jin went to Nanxiang, but Chen Zhi did go to Runan." ”

"Weishenme, didn't he go to die?"

"Chen Zhi is a native of Runan, he is familiar with the terrain there, although there are not many mountains, it is enough for three or four thousand people to move, and it is ......" Wei Ba paused, showing a smug smile: "If I don't enter the pocket, Sun Quan won't dare to start, otherwise, wouldn't he lose more than he gains?" ”

Yin Fan thought for a moment and nodded: "Not bad." If you don't go, you'll only have half of your pockets left. Chen Zhi has few people and is familiar with the terrain, which is not only convenient for hiding, but also can pretend to be your army and continue to deceive the main force deployed by our army in Runan. ”

"A smart person speaks simply, and he can understand it at all." Wei Ba chuckled softly: "I'm more and more reluctant to kill you." ”

"General, you can't be humiliated, since I have become the general's prisoner, why should the general force people too much and make fun of me with words." Yin Fan let out a long sigh, and the whole person was relieved, no longer so tense. "I was played by the general and Li Yan, where do I dare to think I am smart. At this point, it is useless to say more, I have made such a big mistake, I have mistaken the country and my body, and I dare not survive, if the general really pities me, give me a good time. ”

"And what about your old mother and weak sister?" Wei Ba looked at Yinbo quietly, with a trace of forbearance and pity: "If you can't be loyal to the country, you can still do your filial piety." Failure is inevitable, but success is a minority, and you don't have to blame yourself so much. To be honest, if I hadn't been so wary of descending people for a long time, I probably wouldn't have doubted you so firmly. In fact, you didn't show any flaws. ”

"Peng Heng betrayed me?"

Wei Ba smiled, did not admit it, and did not deny it.

"General, I am a spy, and I am a failed spy, if you pardon me, are you not afraid that Li Yan will be dissatisfied with you?"

"I said that in Li Yan's eyes, you are an abandoned son who has completed the task, and he doesn't really care about your life and death."

"What about the general?" Yin Fan asked rhetorically: "You are here to care about me, aren't you afraid that I will be unfavorable to you?" ”

"As I said, I've had the same experience as you, so I can understand your feelings." Wei Ba remembered that he was recognized by Xiahou Hui in Hewu and almost died, but now Xiahou Hui has become his pillow person, giving birth to children for him, and the corners of his mouth can't help but show a smile. "I cherish your talent, and I also understand your difficulties in getting in, and I pity your old mother and weak sister without anyone to take care of me, so I want to give you a chance. Since I dare to use you, of course there are appropriate measures to prevent you from having a chance to be unfavorable to me. ”

Wei Ba looked at Yinbo and said sincerely: "If you want, I will arrange for you to go to Jiaozhou." You can choose to be a prefectural commander, or you can choose to serve in the Assassin's Mansion or the Taishou Mansion. If you want to take a break for a while, you can also travel for a while to gain knowledge before deciding what to do. I will arrange for someone to bring your mother and sister to Jiaozhou so that you can be reunited as a family. ”

Yinbo was silent.

……

Chen Zhi led more than 3,000 foot soldiers all the way eastward, crossed the Han River by Feng Jin, entered the hilly area of Dahong Mountain, crossed Dahong Mountain, and then traveled more than 100 miles to the northeast, bypassing Yunmengze, and entered the Tongbai Mountain area.

Tongbai Mountain is the natural dividing line between Jingzhou and Yuzhou, and the eastern foot of Tongbai Mountain is the actual control area of Yuzhou. Although Wei Ba's hometown of Yiyang is still within the scope of Jingzhou on the map, it is actually more closely connected with Yuzhou, and there are many connections with Jingzhou. Yiyang is at the intersection of Tongbai Mountain and Dabie Mountain, which is an important passage between Jingzhou and Yuzhou, and there are three passes. Among them, the Hades Pass is one of the nine stops in the world in "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period" and "Huainanzi". When Guan Yu was guarding Jingzhou, Chen Bing used to be here, hating this pass to block the way, and he couldn't go straight to the Central Plains, so this pass had another common name: hating this pass.

Now that the Nanyang War is imminent, the situation in the Jianghuai area is also tense, Wei and Wu have heavy troops, especially Lu Xun led 30,000 people in Chaisang, so that the guards of the three passes, Le Qi, did not dare to take it lightly. Le Qi is the son of Le Jin, among the five sons of Wei, Le Jin died the earliest, and Cao Cao was not dead at that time, so his promotion was also the fastest. After Cao Pi ascended the throne, the Shili family took control of the government, and it was difficult for people like them who had no academic background to get ahead. Zhang Liao was so valued by Cao Pi, after his death, his son was just an heir, and there was no progress in his career. The same is true of Xu Huang's descendants, not to mention Yu Ban, who was defeated and humiliated.

Le Qi had already received news that Wei Ba, the most famous general in Shu Han, might attack Yuzhou, and the Yiyang he guarded was the most likely road, because Wei Ba was a native of Yiyang and should be the most familiar with the location here. Le Qi did not dare to slack off, and was fully prepared, sending a large number of scouts to explore the terrain.

Finally, the scouts caught the traces of a suspected Shu Han army. The reason why it is suspicious is because these people neither beat the battle flag of the Shu Han army, nor as many as estimated. There were only three or four thousand of them, and they were carrying the battle flag of the Wu army, and they had no intention of concealing it, and they were very ostentatious all the way, as if they were afraid that others would not know.

Le Qi was puzzled.

What puzzled him even more was that after these people arrived at the Hades Pass, they did not attack the city, but entered the Dabie Mountain and never showed up again. However, the scouts of the Wei army began to disappear continuously, and even those who were pickers could not come back.

This situation made Le Qi even more puzzled. He could guess that the missing scouts and woodcutters' soldiers should have been killed by those men, and to hunt down these soldiers on the scale of 3,000 men would of course be captured. He could also guess that these 3,000 people were probably the Shu Han army with the battle flag of the Wu army, which was nothing more than trying to hide people's eyes and ears and not make a pretext for Cao Wei. But what he didn't understand, what were these people doing here?

To attack the city, it is obviously not enough, to be a suspicious soldier, to kill a few scouts, it seems that it is too much.

While staying vigilant and continuing to send people to track down these enemies of unknown origin, Le Qi urgently reported the news to Manzhong, who did not dare to slack off, and immediately reported it to Cao Rui of Wancheng.

Cao Rui was also very puzzled when he received the news. But what he cares about is whether Wei Ba is among them. arranged such a big game, just to hunt and kill Wei Ba, if Wei Ba is not there, then a few thousand people are really not interesting, and it is impossible for three thousand people to break through the three passes of Yiyang and enter Yuzhou. But he refused to guarantee it, even if all kinds of news proved that Wei Ba himself was still west of the Han River. Wei Ba is notoriously elusive, and who knows where he is now.

Cao Rui sent an envoy to ask Sun Quan, are these 3,000 people your people, if so, weishenme attacked our army, if not, who are they, can weishenme swagger through Jiangxia County under your banner?

Sun Quan is also having a headache now, and the situation is similar to Cao Rui's, all the preparations have been made, but the prey Wei Ba just doesn't take the bait. Wei Ba led the army to patrol the Dangyang area all the time, one moment to the east, as if intending to move east, and then to the west, as if smelling some danger and wanting to give up this operation. It is less than two hundred miles from Dangyang to Hanshui, and he has not arrived for almost a month, and Chen Zhi, who is in the vanguard, has already entered Dabie Mountain and began to make trouble for the Wei army in the Hades Pass, and even Cao Rui's envoys have arrived in Wuchang, and Wei Ba has not yet crossed Hanshui.

Sun Quan faintly had a sense of foreboding, this time he might have fallen for Wei Ba again.

Sun Quan found Fei Yi...... (To be continued......)
