Chapter 263: Coincidental
When Wei Ba hurriedly walked into Wu Yi's tent, Wu Yi was scolding at a group of generals who were responsible for the safety of the baggage camp. Out of the importance of Jishu's secrecy, Wu Yi personally arranged the safety of the baggage camp, and all the generals were people he trusted, but he didn't expect that there would be chaos. Half a month ago, a Wei army infiltrated the baggage camp and wandered around outside Wei Ba's workshop for refitting warships for a long time before being discovered. What made Wu Yi even more angry was that although he killed several cover workers, he didn't find any information, and he didn't know if the information was leaked out, let alone what information they had found.
For this matter, Wu Yi felt ashamed of Wei Ba, and strictly ordered his subordinates to thoroughly investigate, and he had to find out all the details of the Wei army, but after tossing for half a month, he caught a lot of people, but there was no meaningful gain.
Seeing Wei Ba coming in, Wu Yi waved his hand and drove those subordinates away like a fly.
"Ziyu, what's the matter?"
"General, I've found a solution." Wei Ba forcibly suppressed his excitement and saluted respectfully: "I can solve the speed problem of the warship." ”
Wu Yi raised his eyebrows, raised his eyebrows, and then asked anxiously: "If this problem can be solved, how much role can a warship play?" ”
"No matter how powerful a ship is, it can't turn the tide of the whole battle, but it is completely possible to catch the enemy by surprise." Wei Ba thought for a while, and then asked, "Haven't found the fine work yet?" ”
As soon as this question was mentioned, the smile on Wu Yi's face suddenly disappeared, and he scolded angrily: "These rabbit cubs, usually one is more capable than the other, they really let them do something, they are all soft." ”
Wei Ba comforted: "General, if you work carefully, of course you will hide deeply." You still remember when I was in Hanzhong, there was a fine work dressed up as me. Did you assassinate Zhuge Qiao? With such means, it is not impossible to infiltrate the baggage camp. ”
"I know that, too. It's just that in this way, if the affairs of the warship leak out, it will be a waste of your hard work. ”
Wei Ba smiled slightly, clenching his fist to his mouth. His nose seemed to smell the smell mixed with foot odor and light fragrance again, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. "That's not it, although Wei is full of talents. It's unlikely to surpass me in this area. What I can't solve, they may not be able to solve. General, don't check it again, it's already startled, and it's useless to check again. ”
"What then?"
"Loose on the outside and tight on the inside." Wei Ba raised his head, already having an idea. "The next refit of the warship. I will appoint a person who will be involved in this project, and all those who will participate in this project will not be allowed to leave the camp without an order, and they will not have contact with outsiders. The rest of the baggage battalion, as long as the normal vigilance is maintained. ”
Wu Yi nodded. In fact, he is also tired these days. It's just that he didn't check, and he always felt that he couldn't explain it to Wei Ba, and he swore that nothing would happen, but something happened to him.
"As for what information the enemy has inquired about, it is not difficult to judge." Wei Ba turned back and forth twice, and said with a smile: "According to the calculation of time, if the Wei army sends the information back, then Cao Rui will definitely arrange for someone to modify the warship now, and send someone to Xiangyang to investigate, so as to know whether they have stolen the news of the warship." ”
Wu Yi rolled his eyes and smiled: "I have already sent someone to check, and there will be news soon." ”
"The general is really far-sighted. Haha, since that's the case, then I won't talk about it. ”
"Ziyu is smart-minded, it's really rare." Wu Yi pulled Wei Ba to sit down, let people serve wine, and continued: "I won't interfere in the transformation of the warship, I will have Ziyu to do it." However, if the intelligence of the warship has fallen into the hands of the Wei army, we will have to make some preparations. Ziyu, what are your plans? ”
Wei Ba didn't answer immediately. Judging from the contact during this time, although Wu Yi has no reputation in the history of the Three Kingdoms, he is deep in mind and is by no means a mediocre general. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Wu Yi was testing him. Wu Yi must have Jihua, but he just refuses to take the initiative to say it. His eyes flashed, and he smiled: "General, why don't we each write a countermeasure, and then see which one is more practical?" ”
Wu Yi glanced at Wei Ba, smiled, and immediately asked people to bring pen and ink. Wei Ba held the pen in his hand and slowly licked the pen on the inkstone. Wu Yi took the pen, waved it, then put down the pen, dried the ink, and waited leisurely for Wei Ba.
Wei Ba pondered for a long time, and then wrote eight words on the paper: Hit the grass and startle the snake. Then he put down the pen, picked up the paper with both hands, carefully dried it, and got up and sent it to Wu Yi. Wu Yi couldn't help but smile, glanced at him, took the paper, and wrote it side by side with his own, and then stroked his beard and smiled.
"Ziyu, we want to go together."
Wei Ba leaned over to take a look, and Wu Yi's paper also had four words written on it: Disaster water leads to the south. couldn't help laughing too, but he didn't smile as boldly as Wu Yi, but with a hint of caution. "It's a blessing to be able to coincide with the general. But compared to the general's swiftness, the kid is ashamed of himself. ”
Wu Yi was happy in his heart, and he liked Wei Ba's modesty even more, he stroked Wei Ba's back and said with a smile: "Ziyu, I know that you have already calculated in your heart, but you don't want to get ahead of the old man." It is really rare for young people to have this calmness. General Zhenbei has a good son, which is his blessing, and the old man sighs to himself. ”
"The general has won the award. Several of the general's children are also outstanding people, but the general's love for his son is very heartfelt, and they lack the opportunity to train. Wei Ba said half-truthfully: "In time, with the generals personally training, they will definitely become the pillars of my Han." Chen Liuwu's family, a century-old family, has a heavy heritage, how can it be compared to our Wei family? ”
Wu Yi narrowed his eyes and patted Wei Ba: "Ziyu, I understand your kindness." ”
Chenliu is a splendid place of articles in the southeast of the Han Dynasty, and the great writer Cai Yong is a native of Chenliu, where there are countless wealthy families, and the Wu family can only be regarded as a medium-sized family, but when it comes to Yizhou, it is a first-class wealthy family. What's more, Wu Yi's sister is now the queen mother, and it is said that the status of the Wu family in Shu Han is quite high. It's just that they attached themselves to Liu Yan when they arrived in Yizhou, and later supported Liu Zhang, and when Liu Bei attacked Chengdu, they didn't have any outstanding achievements, so after Liu Bei entered Yizhou, although he married Queen Wu, he never vigorously promoted the Wu family. When Zhuge Liang was in charge, the Wu family was even more of an ornament.
When Wei Ba said this, he actually had the intention of fighting for Wu Yi, and he also had the temptation to win over Wu Yi. However, Wu Yiren is old and refined, everyone just understands this meaning, and there is no need to say it so clearly.
Wu Yi rolled up the two pieces of paper and threw them into the fire pit next to them. The paper was licked by the fire, and quickly curled, turning yellow and black, and in the blink of an eye, it became a mass of ashes.
Wei Ba immediately proposed that the modified warship should be used by Feng in, but Wu Yi didn't say anything and immediately agreed. Since he handed over his ship to Wei Ba as a shiyan product, he has decided to fully support Wei Ba, and now that he has received Wei Ba's overtures, the Wu family has hope in the future, and he will not have a conflict with Wei Ba for Feng Jin's trivial matter.
Wei Ba immediately asked people to find Feng Jin and explained the arrangement, of course, nominally it was arranged by Wu Yi. Feng Jin was overjoyed, how could he not understand the mystery of this. He hurriedly thanked Wu Yi and Wei Ba, and then took more than 200 parts to the baggage camp and began the transformation of the warship. These subordinates are all subordinates of the Feng family, loyal and reliable, and proficient in water warfare, knowing that this warship is likely to be a good opportunity for the Feng family to rise again, how can they not go all out and protect it like an eyeball.
Two days later, Wu Yi's detailed work reported back the news, and found signs of transforming the warship near Xiangyang, I don't know who is responsible, but someone saw Xiahou Ba. Xiahou Ba is a subordinate general under the command of the general Cao Zhen, who has been fighting in Tongguan, he suddenly appeared in Xiangyang, it is possible that the Cao army in Tongguan has also moved to Xiangyang, Cao Rui's attention to Xiangyang can be imagined.
After discussing with Wei Ba, Wu Yi immediately sent someone to inform Fei Yi who was in Jiangling of the news, and at the same time attached their jihua.
Fei Yi had a headache in the past two days, because Sun Quan suddenly disappeared from him, and he was closed several times when he asked to see him. Later, he was simply placed under house arrest in a post house and lost his freedom of movement. He didn't know what was going on, but from all indications, it was likely that Cao Wei's envoy arrived in Jiangling and put forward the conditions that made Sun Quan's heart move.
This is where the three-country rivalry is more complicated than the two-nation rivalry. Originally, Wei was the strongest, and more often than not, Wu Shu united against Cao Wei. Now that Cao Wei has lost Guanzhong, Shu seems to occupy half of the country, and at the same time occupies the upper reaches, the alliance between Wei and Wu is rapidly heating up, and Wu is more inclined to unite with Wei to fight against Shu out of its own interests, which invisibly increases the difficulty of Fei Yi's work.
Fei Yi knew very well that what Sun Quan wanted to do most now was to be the emperor, and the biggest worry was that once he became the emperor, he might be attacked by Wei Shu, so he didn't dare to immediately tear up the alliance with Shu Han. Once Cao Rui made a ruthless decision and recognized Sun Quan as emperor, the situation would be very unfavorable to Shu Han. Whether Shu Han was willing to recognize Sun Quan as emperor or not, it was to no avail.
So Fei Yi was very anxious, and at this time, he received information from Wu Yida, and he was immediately amazed. He quickly formulated a plan, asked Sun Quan, and said that there was an important briefing.
Sun Quan did not accept his invitation, but sent a close confidant: Zhu Huan, a general of Fenwu.
Zhu Huan was very angry, and waved his hand impatiently as soon as they met: "If you have anything to say, just say it as soon as possible, the military affairs are busy, and I don't have time to talk to you." ”
Seeing that it was Zhu Huan Lai, not Hu Zong or Yi Lai, Fei Yi understood that this was Sun Quan's perfunctory treatment of him. Zhu Huan's identity is valuable enough, but he doesn't get along well with him, so he can't go together. It is obviously not practical to try to improve the situation in front of you through personal emotional exchange.
Fortunately, Fei Yi has a killer feature, when he said lightly about Cao Wei's construction of a warship in Xiangyang, the impatience on Zhu Huan's face suddenly turned into consternation, his eyes widened, and after a while, he stomped his feet and scolded: "Cao Rui, dare to play yin with us?" Then without waiting for Fei Yi to speak, he arched his hand, turned around and left.
Looking at Zhu Huan's back, Fei Yi breathed a long sigh of relief.
