After listening to Zhuge Liang's analysis of the entire situation, Jiang Wei's face was hot, as if he had been slapped twice by Wei Ba, who was thousands of miles away.

He studied Wei Ba's tactics, but he didn't know that Wei Ba's real intention was not tactics at all, but power techniques. Not on the battlefield, but in the court. The things he was bent on competing with Wei Ba were not what Wei Ba cared about at all, but he didn't even touch the things that Wei Ba cared about.

The two sides are not in the same realm at all, how can he catch up with Wei Ba, and how can he not lose to Wei Ba?

The prime minister has been teaching by word and deed, using his own practical actions to demonstrate how the power struggle in the court affects the war on the battlefield, but he does not really realize the prime minister's good intentions, how can the prime minister not be disappointed?

Jiang Wei was embarrassed.

"Boyo, be brave after shame." Zhuge Liang saw Jiang Wei blaming himself so much, and he was also a little unbearable, and comforted: "The soldiers are not tired of cheating, but they just use their own tricks, both sides are upright and bright, and they have a clear conscience." And the court's deception is extremely dark, Liangzhou people are naturally heroic, and they have never been good at these schemes, and it is not your fault. Do you think that Ma Mengqi also fell for Cao Agui's discordant plan back then, and turned against Han Sui? It wasn't until he entered Shu and returned to the Han Dynasty that he truly understood the power of the court, and since then he has lived in a simple and unobtrusive manner, and he has been able to die a good death. You don't have to blame yourself for that, just pay more attention to it later. ”

"Oh, thank you Prime Minister for your advice, Wei must remember it."

Zhuge Liang inspired: "Then tell me, what should we do now?" ”

"Wei thinks that when he seems to move but not move, he wants to move but does not move. Ready to go. Take advantage of the opportunity. ”

Zhuge Liang smiled and bowed his head slightly. "That's what I mean."

……

Li Yan put his hands behind his back and went back and forth in the study. There was a stack of secret letters on the case, all of which were sent back by Li Feng in an expedited manner of 600 miles, but despite this, the news he got was still at least five days behind the actual situation, and if the road was delayed, it could be seven or eight days.

The latest news he received was that Wei Ba broke into Changsha, annihilated 7,000 Wu troops, and surrounded Yiyang. Before that. The sailors sent by Wei Ba made an expedition to Wu County. In the East China Sea, 3,000 Wu army and naval divisions were completely annihilated, and in these two battles, Wei Ba had completely annihilated 10,000 Wu troops and achieved very good results. It also caused a lot of shocks to the whole of Wu State.

Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Sun Quan refused to bow down and obey. If he refuses to be a vassal to the Han Dynasty according to his request, he must fulfill his original promise and teach Sun Quan a lesson. Wei Ba achieved such results. also maintained his face for him, and at the same time expressed his determination, which played a non-negligible role in forcing Sun Quan to bow his head and accept defeat.

In addition to relieving him, Wei Ba's toughness also made him a little uneasy.

Originally, Jihua was Wei Ba from the south and Meng Da from the north, and the two sent troops at the same time to attack Jiangxia and drive Sun Quan out of Jingzhou. However, in the middle of the way, Jihua changed, Li Feng was not resolute enough, adjusted the order, let Meng Da temporarily stand still, and the combat task was handed over to Wei Ba to carry out alone. This was originally a relatively safe jihua, and Wei Ba took on the task, which could ensure that Meng Da would not have any losses, stand by and move, and wait for Wu Guo to show his flaws and then break the enemy in one fell swoop, with little effort and great credit.

But now Wei Ba's offensive is fierce, which makes Li Yan regret it a little. If Wei Ba solves the problem alone, and there is no need for Meng Da to send troops to help, then what should he do when Zuihou talks about meritorious deeds? The benefits were given to Wei Ba alone, but his cronies Liliang were not strengthened, which was not a situation that Li Yan wanted to see.

Li Yan was not very satisfied with Li Feng's performance. Not to mention whether it was appropriate to let Meng Da stand still, now that Wei Ba has won the first battle, it is a little inappropriate to let Meng Da stand by again, at least Meng Da should be allowed to make an offensive posture, as for how much success has been achieved, it does not matter, the key is to let Meng Da participate in the war, so that when the merit is discussed in the future, he can also share some of Meng Da's merits and strengthen his strength. Staying in Nanyang, I didn't even get out of the city gate, how can I talk about it?

Inexperienced.

After complaining about Li Feng, Li Yan began to complain about Meng Da again. Li Feng doesn't have much experience, and Meng Da don't understand? You're old, and you've turned back twice, the doorway to fight for merit should be very clear, how can you let go of such an opportunity. In this way, wouldn't the negotiation I presided over become Wei Ba's sole support?

Li Yan was very disappointed, happy and worried.

He felt that he was too far away from the front line, and the news he got was seriously lagging behind, and he could not really grasp the overall situation, so he could only passively wait for the results. To reverse this situation, he should go to Jingzhou, and even go to the battlefield in person, and he can't let Wei Ba be good at beauty alone.

I'm the general.

But Li Yan didn't dare to leave easily. If Changsha is the center of the battlefield, then Chengdu is the center of the Korean struggle. Prime Minister Zhuge Liang has been in Guanzhong for a few years, but he wants to regain control of the emperor.

Not going? So what should Zhuge Liang do? Meng Da doesn't know the opportunity, Zhuge Liang is a very smart person, Guanzhong is also close to Jingzhou, and the deputy envoy Fei Yi is Zhuge Liang's cronies, it is impossible for him not to pass the news to Zhuge Liang, if Zhuge Liang sent troops to Nanyang, seized the opportunity of Meng Da, and joined forces with Wei Ba to attack Wu, then wouldn't he be busy in vain?

However, what if he went and Zhuge Liang didn't?

Li Yan is in a dilemma, suffering from gains and losses. He thought about it for a long time, but he didn't make up his mind, not that he didn't have an idea, but that he lacked confidence and needed someone to help him staff and staff.

Of course, this person is none other than Ma Yan.

There was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and Ma Jian pushed the door in, bowing and saluting.

At the moment when Ma Yan entered the door, Li Yan's originally very tangled face immediately showed a bright smile, he strode up to meet him, helped Ma Yan up, and laughed loudly: "Young Chang, could it be that you also feel the good news, so you came so quickly?" ”

Ma Tan smiled slightly: "There is a big general in command, a major general in the battle to dispatch, and General Zhendong and General Zhennan to help, and it is expected that good news will be spread frequently." I came fast because the generals recruited each other, so I had to hurry. ”

Li Yan daxiao deliberately pointed at Ma Yan: "Youchang, what you said can be seen." I don't dare to invite you to come and go. You are my wise man, my military advisor. ”

Ma Tan smiled: "It's an honor, I dare not be ashamed." ”

"Here, look at the good news." Li Yan pulled Ma Yan to the desk and sat down, pushing through those secret letters, as if he had launched his own sincerity. "Young Chang, you are the first to see these good news except for me, but you must not spread it."

"Dare to disobey." Ma Yan responded, picked up the secret letter and read it, according to the chronological order, he read it one by one, Zuihou was silent for a long time, raised his head, and looked at Li Yan with blazing eyes: "General, this is a good opportunity." ”

"Good chance?" Li Yan raised his eyebrows and asked quietly, "How do you say this?" ”

"General Zhennan struck a blow and showed Sun Quan's weak nature." Ma Tan showed a pleased smile: "General Zhennan has made Sun Quan so embarrassed with his own strength, if the general comes out, can he still resist?" The general can not only force Sun Quan to become a vassal, but also may make him withdraw from Jingzhou, and may even destroy Wu and build an immortal achievement. ”

"Is it that easy?" Li Yan smiled, but there was not much joy, he was very happy to hide his thoughts in his heart and guide Ma Yan to say his thoughts.

"Of course." Ma Tan seemed a little excited, got up and walked over to the map, and began to discuss the current situation. Under his narration, although Wei Ba's attack was fierce, it still did not get rid of the meaning of bluffing, and the total strength of the three-way army was close to 100,000, which far exceeded Wei Ba's actual ability. A third of them were reserve forces with limited combat power, while the other one-third—according to Li Feng's sources, may have been recruited pirates and Jiang Kou—were also rabble, which could play a temporary harassing role, but could not be used in a dignified formation.

Sun Quan was beaten by such a man, which can only show one problem, after several years of conquest, the strength of Wu State is not as good as before, and he is also weak, so he was beaten so embarrassed by Wei Ba.

Take advantage of your illness and want your life, and if you don't send troops to destroy Wu at this time, how long will you wait? If the general Li Yan sent troops from Yong'an, went down the river and went straight to Wuchang, Meng Da sent troops from Nanyang to contain Lu Xun, and then issued a military order to Zhuge Liang in Guanzhong and asked him to send troops to assist Meng Da, Shu Han could at least add another 70,000 or 80,000 main forces, which would be more than enough to destroy Wu. Even if there is a discount, it is definitely not a problem to drive Sun Quan out of Jingzhou.

In one fell swoop, seizing the three counties of Changsha, Jiangxia, and Nanjun, and forcing Sun Quan to become a vassal, not only avenged the defeat of Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Sun Quan in the battle for Jingzhou, but also seized the gateway to the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and drove Sun Quan back to Yangzhou, how much credit is this? With such a contribution, how could Li Yan's prestige not go further and dominate the world?

Li Yan was moved. Ma Tan's thoughts coincide with him, and it can even be said that he is exactly the same, which shows that the hero sees the same thing, and his jihua is feasible. Otherwise, it would not only be possible to think of a place with Ma Tan.

Even so, Li Yan didn't show a too happy expression, he frowned instead: "Young Chang, will the prime minister send troops to Guanzhong?" ”

Ma Tan smiled meaningfully.

"General, asking Sun Quan to be a vassal to my Han is in line with the spirit of heaven and the people, how can the prime minister oppose it? It has been more than three months since the major general sent the envoy, and the prime minister has not expressed any objections, and his helplessness is already very clear. Now that Sun Quan does not know the mandate of heaven and is stubborn, it is only natural that our army will not accept it. If the prime minister is against it, wouldn't he be against the hearts of the people of the Heavenly Dao? Even if he is unwilling, can the generals in Guanzhong be willing to sit idly by? I believe that at this moment, the officers and men of Guanzhong are only afraid that they are gearing up and eager to try, but how can the prime minister stop them. ”

Li Yan finally showed a smug smile and let out a loud daxiao.

Ma Jian also smiled, relieved...... (To be continued......)
