Qinghe Estuary.

Pei Hui, the assassin of Jizhou, looked at the distant sail shadow and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Wei Ba's sailors came from the south, and although they sent troops to land many times, causing a lot of riots, fortunately, nothing major happened. From here to the north, that is the Youzhou boundary, what does it have to do with his Jizhou assassin history.

Let Wu Qiu Jian worry about it. Pei Hui thought.

It is said that Pei Hui's psychology is not so dark. As a celebrity of the Hedong Wenxi Pei family, he should be closer to the township party Wuqiu Jian, not to mention that Wuqiu Jian is also a celebrity. He thinks this way now for two main reasons.

First, because Wei Ba is different from the usual sailors. He sailed away from the coast, and he couldn't see his shadow on the shore at all, and when he went to the sea, those scout boats were not the opponents of the accompanying warships, so most of the time, Pei Hui didn't know where Wei Ba was, so he could only defend on all fronts and not give Wei Ba any chance. Defending on all fronts not only requires a lot of troops, but also makes people nervous and anxious. As the assassin of Jizhou, he has to be ready to lead his troops to help at any time, but he doesn't know where the enemy may suddenly appear, this feeling is really devastating. Pei Hui's current mood is very unstable and he needs a way to vent.

Another reason is that Wu Qiu Jian was once captured. has lost battles before, and has even been captured by the other party, but he can still be reused, and he holds such an important position as the assassin of Youzhou, which makes Pei Hui a little unbalanced psychologically, and feels a little embarrassed to be at the same level as Wuqiu Jian. Now there is a saying in the court of Wei that the reason why Wu Qiu Jian can come back to life is because he used to be the old man of the East Palace of the Son of Heaven. As a celebrity, to this kind of person who is on the top of the relationship. Naturally, some disdain should be expressed.

So he was a little disdainful of Wu Qiu Jian.

Now that Wei Ba has entered the Youzhou boundary, let Wuqiu Jian have a headache. They are also old rivals, and if they fight again, maybe they will be ashamed of themselves. And I, I can rest and go back to prepare for the autumn harvest.

Pei Hui, who had been nervous for more than half a month, was relieved at the moment.

The autumn harvest is coming soon, and if this high-intensity vigilance is maintained, it will inevitably affect the autumn harvest. Jizhou is now the main source of food for Wei, and if there is a problem with the harvest in Jizhou, the whole Wei country will have problems. Pei Hui's brother Pei Qian is Shang Shuling. News has already been sent to him. The Son of Heaven will have a big move, and he needs Jizhou's grain as a backing, and there must be no problems.

I hope Wei Ba doesn't turn back again. Pei Hui secretly prayed to God. He didn't want to live a second time.

……

Wei Ba and Fa Miao sat on the recliner together. Look at the coastline that is fading away. chuckled: "Jizhou is very nervous." ”

Fa Miao continued: "There will be big moves." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Westbound from Penglai. Wei Ba led more than 6,000 sailors along the coastline all the way north, and after crossing the mouth of the Yellow River, he entered Bohai County in Jizhou. It's been a long way. He sent people ashore many times to riot and practice landing operations, but in fact he did not want to go deep into the land, with his 6,000 troops, he did not have the ability to capture one county at all, it was really just practice.

However, Jizhou's counterattack was very timely and fierce, as if the opponent had long been in good standing and heavily guarded. After several battles, he made a preliminary estimate that there were at least 20,000 Wei troops in Bohai County deployed in at least five locations, and the other party did not give him any chance to surprise at all.

So he said that Jizhou was nervous.

Jizhou was so nervous, probably because the autumn harvest was approaching, and the Wei people did not dare to let them go ashore in order to prevent them from destroying the crops that were about to ripen in Jizhou. With the strength of Wei Ba, walking along the coastline, only one county in the Bohai Sea can be harmed, but the Wei people are still so nervous, which can only show that they have a great plan and a lot of demands, so they dare not have any carelessness and are unwilling to suffer any losses.

So Fa Miao said that there will be big moves.

What big moves can Wei Guo make, in fact, Wei Ba and Fa Miao can guess a rough idea. Wei is now under attack on three sides, and the threat over the East China Sea is only a situation, far from reaching the level of actual damage, and the most real pressure comes from the southeast; The army led by Lu Xun is not far from Luoyang, and it is impossible for Cao Rui, who is in Luoyang, not to be nervous, but Cao Wei's biggest hidden danger is Guanzhong and Liangzhou west of Guanzhong.

Because of Guanzhong and Liangzhou, Shu Han had war horse resources and cavalry advantages. Because of the loss of Guanzhong and Liangzhou, the advantage of Wei's iron cavalry was lost, so the Wu army dared to go deep into Yanyu and attack all the way to the periphery of Luoyang. If you want to recover the situation, defeating Lu Xun can't really solve the problem, it's just the end, not the original, if you want to really solve the problem, the only way to recapture Guanzhong is to regain it.

It just so happened that Guanzhong was currently the weakest of the three offensives. If Cao Rui is not moved, it is really unreasonable.

The specific tactics are still unknown to Wei Ba, but the big strategy is not difficult to guess. In fact, this is almost translucent, and everyone knows it - Wei Ba knows it, Cao Rui knows it, and Li Yan knows it too.

Drama actors change, each with its own subtle differences. Wei Ba knew this possibility, but he didn't have enough strength to crack it, and with Cao Rui's strength, the difficulty of completing this strategy was not ordinarily high, so Wei Ba was very curious about how Cao Rui would operate, how Li Yan would deal with it, and what kind of choice Chengdu would make at this critical time.

It's a big play without a script. Zhang He, Sima Yi and Lu Xun, who have already appeared on the stage, are just important supporting roles, the real protagonists are Zhuge Liang and Cao Rui, and Wei Ba is just a spectator. From this point of view, Zhou Yin and Ding Feng's breakthrough into Pengcheng was purely a scene-stealing accident and an accident.

There is no shortage of accidents in the world. When there is an accident, there will be drama, and the play will be good-looking.

Wei Ba is looking forward to it. He led the naval division to exercise in the East China Sea, but he did not relax his attention to the Central Plains for a moment. It's just that the road is far away, and it's in the territory of Wei, so the delay in the news he got is very serious, which whetts his appetite even more.

"It is said that Wu Qiu Jian's defeated general made the history of Youzhou Assassination, I don't know if there is a chance to defeat him again this time."

Wei Ba shook his head: "The possibility is almost impossible. We didn't dare to go ashore, he didn't dare to go into the sea, we couldn't fight. ”

"Cao Rui employs nepotism, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public." Fa Miao smiled: "If we can defeat Wu Qiu Jian again and prove that he is a waste, can't we also make some trouble for Cao Rui?" ”

"Wu Qiu Jian is not a waste, he is just unlucky." Wei Ba shook his head. He didn't have much impression of Wuqiu Jian, he only knew that he was tied with Deng Ai, Zhuge Dan and others, but he had fought against Wuqiu Jian when he was in Shunyang, and later had a few contacts, knowing that Wuqiu Jian was actually a very smart and courageous person, and he was defeated and captured in Shunyang, not entirely because of himself, Wei Fengfei's capture of Nanxiang City was the key turning point in that war.

Fa Miao didn't say anything more, he wasn't very familiar with Wu Qiu Jian either. Since Wei Ba attaches great importance to this person, this person must have some ability. Fighting on the march and attaching importance to the opponent is the basic requirement of the battle, and belittling the opponent is often the prelude to defeat. What he is most worried about now is that Wei Ba will become famous as a young man, and he will get carried away, Wei Ba can maintain this good haode mentality, which is what he hopes for the most, and naturally he will not oppose it.

In his opinion, Wei Ba was just in his early twenties, a few years younger than him, but he didn't know that Wei Ba's mental age at the moment had already exceeded that of the average younger. Years of meditation and reflection and countless self-analyses have made him far older than his peers. Otherwise, how could he fight with an immortal wise man like Zhuge Liang.

Yin Fan walked up and delivered a military report he had just received.

After Wei Ba read it, he handed it to Fa Miao. Fa Miao glanced at it and smiled: "General, you are right, Lu Xun made a correct choice." ”

Yin Fan also smiled: "Everything is in the general's house." ”

"No, everything is in the prime minister's house." Wei Ba grinned, raised his eyebrows slightly, and sighed lightly: "I regret it now, was it too soft at that time." ”

Fa Miao and Yin Fan glanced at each other. Wei Ba has not said much about these things, and they have always thought that plotting against Lu Xun is Wei Ba's means, and now listening to Wei Ba's meaning, it seems that it is the prime minister who is operating behind the scenes. Thinking about it carefully, it is indeed possible that only the prime minister can arrange Lu Mao and Lu Mingzhu to serve in Chengdu, Wei Ba's influence in Chengdu is limited, and without the permission of the prime minister, he can't do this at all.

"It's the prime minister...... In operational research? ”

"Hmm." Wei Ba smiled silently: "The prime minister agreed to my battle jihua and made some additions. Plotting against Lu Xun is one of these supplementary means. Now that I think about it, the siege of Wei by the three-way army is actually just a jihua on the surface, which is a long-term goal, the real jihua, but the immediate goal is to digest the Wu State and turn the manpower and material resources of the Wu State into the possession of the imperial court. To put it bluntly, it is to seize the power and seize the power of Sun. ”

Fa Miao interjected: "Pei the foundation of the imperial court." ”

Wei Ba turned his face and glanced at Fa Miao, revealing a meaningful smile. Fa Miao, like his father Fa Zheng, is a master of speculating people's hearts, and he immediately understood Zhuge Liang's intentions. Seizing the momentum of the Wu State and cultivating the foundation of the imperial court is exactly where Zhuge Liang's intention lies. If according to Zhuge Liang's jihua, the strength of Wu State is turned into the imperial court, then it is difficult for him and Li Yan to make great achievements.

The trip to Chengdu seems to have been a victory, an official, a knight, and an expedition to Jihua in eastern Liaodong. In fact, the biggest beneficiary was Zhuge Liang, who drove him to the East China Sea, so that he could do nothing in the short term, but he took advantage of this time to digest and attract the strength of Eastern Wu, and it was possible to use Cao Rui's hand to attack Li Yan and regain control of Guanzhong in his hands.

Even with the elimination of the fight, this is the master's move. Zhuge Liang used the name of the imperial court to win over the talents of Eastern Wu, and at the same time dissipated the power of Sun Quan, he also established the momentum of the Chengdu imperial court, and the clever means made Wei Ba breathtaking. In this case, he told the truth of the matter to Fa Miao and Yinfan, two henchmen and thinkers, naturally hoping that they would remain vigilant and not be blindly optimistic.

"The prime minister is really very human." Fa Miao clapped his palms and praised repeatedly, but his face was full of smiles: "However, he is so hard-working, I'm afraid it will be bad for his health." ”

Yin Fan also laughed: "In this case, shouldn't the general take advantage of the fact that the prime minister's attention is in Jiangdong to pocket Qingzhou and Youzhou first?" ”

Wei Ba laughed silently: "That's what I mean." ”…… (To be continued......)
