After several days and nights of repairs, the two captured ships were repaired, with guards and wooden oars replaced with wheels. As a result, the Shu Army Naval Division, which originally had only one building ship, suddenly had five building ships, three of which were the latest wheeled warships, and in the blink of an eye, the combat effectiveness quadrupled.

Being able to improve so quickly in such a short period of time is, of course, inseparable from the thorough preparation in the early stage. Long before the start of the war, Wei Ba obtained the consent of Wu Yi and Meng Da, selected more than 3,000 soldiers who were proficient in water from among their men, and used Feng Jin's building ship to conduct drills. These people have followed up the whole process from the beginning of the refit of the building ship, and gradually become familiar with the warship they are about to control, and in the future, they will be on the battlefield, and once any accident occurs, they are also experts in repair, and they can minimize the loss.

As for those armor and wheels, Wei Ba had prepared haode a long time ago, and he had prepared a total of ten sets. This already includes the materials needed for the conversion of the building ship owned by the Wei Army Naval Division in Danshui. If Wei Ba's Jihua can be fully realized, the Hanzhong Naval Division of the Shu Army will have more than ten new-style building ships, and although the overall strength cannot be compared with the Wu State Naval Division, it is enough to defeat the Wei Army's Naval Division, and even in the face of the Wu Army's Naval Division, it has the strength to fight.

These preparations were carried out in an orderly manner, all thanks to Wei Ba's Jihua, and the industrial production he experienced in his previous life made him familiar with this set of processes, and he knew many details that others could not notice. And the process of transforming these warships made him seem to have become an engineer in his previous life again, focusing on concrete facts, more handy than racking his brains for intrigues, like a fish in water.

It's a pity that good days always pass quickly, and this simple life passes in a flash, and headaches follow him.

First of all, news came from Hanzhong, Li Yan's son Li Feng escorted a batch of grain and grass to Hanzhong, and then picked the bones in the eggs. criticized all the affairs of Hanzhong, and made the people who stayed in Hanzhong disgraced. Later, I learned that the prime minister had an order. wanted Li Yan to lead 10,000 people into Hanzhong as a backup, and Li Yan obviously didn't intend to accept the order, so let Li Feng pick the thorn.

Wei Ba understood Li Yan's provocation very well. Li Yan is now a former general. But when Liu Bei died, and he and Zhuge Liang were bequeathed, he was the protector of the central capital. He is the first person in the military to unify the military inside and outside. Now that most of the military power has been taken away by Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang also wants him to leave Jiangzhou and enter Hanzhong, as Wu Yi's reserve liliang, how can Li Yan accept it? It is not good for him to directly dismiss Zhuge Liang's order, but he can prevaricate with this obviously not reason.

This is what caused the city gate to catch fire. Affected the pond fish, Zhuge Liang and Li Yan fought the law, but the unlucky ones were the left-behind officials in Hanzhong.

If Li Yan didn't come, forget it, Wei Ba didn't expect Zhuge Liang to send him reinforcements. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked his dad for help in private. After the arrival of a thousand soldiers, other reinforcements were still on the way. And Deng Zhi of Shangluo is also actively preparing, and once the time is ripe, he will pounce on Wuguan.

While the rear was uneasy, there were also some accidents in the battle ahead. Wei Ba, Wu Yi, and Meng Da before Jihua feinted to attack Fancheng, attracting the Wei army to the Xiangyang area, and getting in close contact with the Wu army, so as to fish in the water and have a melee. As a result, Meng arrived in Fancheng for half a month, in addition to the 3,000 cavalry that ate Hu Zhen, the main force led by Sima Yi was blocked outside Dunse, and never arrived in Fancheng, and the Wu army also advanced at a rapid pace under the leadership of Lu Xun, and it is still more than 200 miles away from Xiangyang.

Originally, Wei Ba didn't feel anything abnormal, but as time passed, he felt that something was wrong.

Lu Xun, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, was passive and sluggish, not surprising, Lu Xun had always wanted the Shu army to be cannon fodder, and he was fortunate to pick up cheap in the back. But Sima Yi's actions are a little weird. It is impossible for him not to know the importance of Fan Cheng, and it is impossible for little Dunse to stop him. Even if Dunsey is difficult to overcome for a while, he can take a detour. I haven't arrived in Fancheng for half a month, which is really unreasonable.

More than 20,000 main forces of the Shu army went out to fight, and it was impossible to collect grain on the spot, and the grain consumed every day needed to be transported from Hanzhong, and the consumption was too great. The delay was too long, which was very unfavorable to the Shu army. Sima Yi and Lu Xun seemed to have colluded, and neither of them would take the initiative to take action, which made Jihua, who was using Wei Ba's strength, have the possibility of falling short. If he couldn't let Wei and Wu fight each other, he would have no chance to take advantage, and Zuihou would probably be in vain.

Reactive power is defeat, this is not a result that Wei Ba can accept, nor is it a result that Wu Yi and Meng Da can accept.

Wei Ba couldn't sit still, and rushed to Fancheng with the two ships that had been refitted and the grain and grass baggage.

With a warship, Wei Ba could have more time to think about the battle situation. He vaguely felt that he might be thinking too idealistic. The Wei army has heavy troops in Xiangyang and Fancheng, there are more than 3,000 people in the small Fancheng, and there are more than 8,000 in Xiangyang. Unless Wu can go all out, the two or thirty thousand people of Shu will not be able to succeed at all.

Can Wu Shu join forces without any worries? Wei Ba didn't believe it, and Sima Yi probably wouldn't believe it either, so he wasn't in a hurry at all. Otherwise, with a small fortress like Dunse, how could he stop Sima Yi for so long.

Wei Ba re-evaluated this jihua and pondered a way to break the game. Then, after a long time of hard thinking, he couldn't think of any other way than to storm Fancheng, and he could get closer to Sima Yi and Fancheng.

To attack Fancheng, it was necessary to cut off the pontoon bridge of the Han River first, so as to separate Xiangyang and Fancheng. Otherwise, he would have to face not only the three thousand Wei troops in Fancheng - these three thousand people were enough for him to have a headache - but also the Wei army in Xiangyang City.

Thinking about it, Wei Ba sighed, so he had to give up for the time being, sitting cross-legged in the cabin, his eyes drooping slightly, wanting to relax himself, maybe there would be an unexpected gain.

Seeing Wei Ba touching his forehead with his hand, closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, the bell came over with great interest, rubbed his hands and said, "Join the army, are you tired?" I'll pinch your neck? Since Wei Ba gave her a chance to throw Pan Ping to the point that she couldn't take care of herself, Bell's hostility towards Wei Ba was significantly reduced, and she flattered and sold herself from time to time.

Wei Ba's eyes didn't open, and he shook his head: "Forget it, you have a wrong hand, I don't have any blessings to enjoy." ”

Bell's face froze, and he let out a frustrated sigh and retreated with his head slumped. Ding Feng, who was standing outside the cabin door, saw him. His brows furrowed slightly, and he just wanted to step forward to comfort him, but the bell shook his arm. Walked away. Ding Feng smiled bitterly and had to go back to his place and stand up.

Wei Xing walked over head-on, and when he saw this, he squeezed his eyes at Ding Feng. Turned around and entered the cabin. Seeing that Wei Ba was recuperating, he called softly: "Young master? ”

"What's the matter?"

"There's news that Fei joins the army."

As soon as he heard that Fei Yi had news coming, Wei Ba immediately became energetic. He opened his eyes, sat up straight, and quickly opened the secret letter. Probably to prevent being intercepted, Fei Yi wrote very briefly, did not say too many details, only said that Sun Quan attached great importance to this joint operation, and specially sent the second son Sun Jian to Lu Xun's army for training. to boost morale.

Wei Ba looked at it twice, and Zuihou set his eyes on Sun Ji's name. What Sun Quan attaches importance to or not, it is all empty words, and the only useful information in this is that Sun is in Lu Xun's army. If it's just an apprenticeship, then Fei Yi doesn't seem to need to mention anything special. It's not the crown prince Sun Deng.

Wei Ba pondered for a long time, put away the secret za, and shouted: "Cheng Yuan? ”

"Join the army." Ding Feng appeared at the door.

"You come in." Wei Ba hooked his fingers and asked Ding Feng to sit down opposite. "I'm idle, I want to hear you tell me about my story in Soochow."

Ding Feng blushed and said embarrassedly: "Join the army, I ...... I don't know much about storytelling. ”

"I know you can't tell stories, that's why I want you to tell stories." Wei Ba said seriously: "Do you want to get closer to the bell?" ”

Ding Feng nodded repeatedly.

"Then you're going to have to learn to tell stories."

Ding Feng blinked, not knowing what the connection between the two was. However, he could see that Bell and Wei Ba were very close, maybe what Wei Ba said did have some truth. He nodded, straightening up, as if for an interview.

Wei Ba couldn't help laughing, and he didn't break it, he talked for a while, and slowly pulled it to Sun Quan, and then to Sun Wei.

"How is Sun Shu?"

Ding Feng thought about it carefully: "The prince is very smart, and he is more like a king than the prince. ”

"How?"

"The prince is too boring, the prince is more active, and his martial arts are also good." Ding Feng didn't know what he thought, and he also laughed: "But he doesn't have much contact with the auxiliary general, and I have limited understanding of him, but the prince often sends people to ask the auxiliary general for advice." ”

Wei Ba's heart moved, and he suddenly knew the information that Fei Yi was going to transmit, and he couldn't help but be amazed.

In this joint operation, Fei Yi and Zhang Wen are the contacts of both sides, equivalent to ambassadors, in addition to mutual information, Fei Yi also undertakes another task, that is, to encourage Sun Quan to send troops.

After Wei Ba learned about Lu Xun's character from many aspects, he knew that it was impossible to play this person on applause. This kind of person is standard, he doesn't see a rabbit or a hawk, and he won't make a move if he is not sure. If he competes with Lu Xun alone, he will not have any chance to take advantage. Fortunately, although Lu Xun is trusted by Sun Quan, after all, it is not Sun Quan himself, so the supreme person in charge of this battle is not Lu Xun, but Sun Quan.

Different from the impression of later generations of the overlord on Sun Quan's side, Wei Ba learned that Sun Quan was actually a very impulsive person, and it was much easier to stimulate him than to stimulate Lu Xun.

This task fell on Fei Yi's shoulders.

Wei Ba didn't know what method Fei Yi could use, he could only hope that Fei Yi would find the opportunity himself. Judging from the current results, Fei Yi's task has been completed very successfully. Sun Quan sent Sun Wei, who was incompatible with Lu Xun, to Lu Xun's army, and the meaning was very subtle. If Lu Xun was a flawless turtle, then Sun Xun was a thorn that pierced the shell of the turtle, and it grew out of the flesh.

No matter how strong the fortress was, it could not withstand the devastation that arose from within. With Sun Wei's thorn, facing Lu Xun, Wei Ba has a chance.

Wei Ba smiled and secretly praised himself: Fei Yi, you really have a set.

Ask for a guaranteed monthly pass!

Last month, it ended up with 809 votes, ranking eighth, which was basically the same as last month. In fact, if Zuihou works harder, there is still a chance to take a step forward, but Lao Zhuang himself gave up and lived up to everyone's high expectations, which is really ashamed.

Lao Zhuang said that this month to seriously compete for a monthly pass, so today to add more, ask for monthly ticket encouragement! (To be continued.) )
