"What's going on?" Xiahou Mao covered his clothes and walked out.

Wei Ba fought a cold war, and hurriedly turned around and handed the general report to Xiahou Mao, and at the same time announced: "Guo Huai urgently reported, Zhuge Liang sent troops to Qishan, and the two counties of Tianshui and Nan'an have already rebelled. ”

With a "snap", the military newspaper in Xiahou Mao's hand fell to the ground, and at the same time, the placket was also open, revealing two white legs, and a messy black hair and ugly phallus on his abdomen were impressive. He didn't pay attention to his spring leakage, but glared at Wei Ba and stammered, "You say...... What the? ”

"Zhuge Liang's troops went out of Qishan, and the two counties of Tianshui and Nan'an rebelled."

Xiahou Mao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly let out an "ah", and his face suddenly turned pale. Wei Ba carefully avoided Xiahou Mao's two legs, bent down to pick up the military newspaper, checked the sealing mud on it, opened the sealing bag, took out the military newspaper, and quickly browsed it.

Xiahou Mao shuddered and turned back and forth twice, and this panicked appearance attracted the soldiers in the distance, and they all looked over here. Wei Ba didn't care too much, and half-dragged Xiahou Mao to the inner room, ordered someone to bring a piece of ice, wrapped it in a cloth towel, and pressed it on Xiahou Mao's forehead.

Excited by the ice, Xiahou Mao came to his senses, took Wei Ba's hand, and cried: "Ziyu, you really said it, Zhuge Liang is not here." ”

Wei Ba nodded again and again, and his mouth was a little bitter. He said this to Xiahou Mao, but he really didn't want Zhuge Liang to go out of Qishan. This is a fucking one-day pit, which not only buried Xiahou Mao in it, but also buried his Wei family's father and son. Needless to say, nine times out of ten, Daddy is now running wild in Meridian Valley with 10,000 elites mainly from the Wei family. He had no idea what kind of battle awaited him.

"Ziyu, what can I do about this?" Xiahou Mao was completely panicked, and only knew how to pull Wei Ba to cry.

"General, since Zhuge Liang's main force is in Qishan, the people in the slope can only be suspicious soldiers." Wei Ba suddenly came to his senses. This is a godsend. Zhuge Liang wants to yin me, but I can't yin him? Guo Huai didn't know that there were no reinforcements coming, and asked Xiahou Mao for help. Then just let Xiahou Mao send reinforcements to Longyou, let them and Zhuge Liang fight to the death in Longyou, and I will lead the master out of the praise slope here, and then occupy Guanzhong.

Xiahou Mao nodded again and again.

"That being the case. Then there is no need to leave 10,000 people here to defend, and a part of the cavalry can be sent to Longyou to support Guo Tingshi. Wei Ba said anxiously: "As long as Guo Tingshi can hold on." If the battle line is controlled to the west of Longshan, Guanzhong will still be safe. The general can hold on to and wait for help, and when the time comes, the general will defeat the strong with the weak, which will still be a great achievement. ”

Xiahou Mao was stunned for a while, and then came back to his senses. He hurriedly put on his clothes and summoned the generals to discuss the matter.

Wei Ba motioned to the little beautiful woman with a spring on her face to quickly get dressed and leave the cool inner room. He was just leaving. Xiahou Mao grabbed him: "Ziyu, don't go." ”

Wei Ba shook his head in embarrassment: "General, you want to convene the generals to discuss the matter, it is not convenient for me to stay here." ”

Xiahou Mao said loudly: "I'll let you stay." You stay, and who will say nothing? ”

Wei Ba thought for a moment and arched his hand: "Then thank you general." ”

It didn't take long for the generals to arrive. Xiahou Mao was dressed in military uniform, and his face was full of murderous anger to let people show the military report to the generals, Zuihou said: "At the beginning, Wei Ba said that Zhuge Liang might send troops to Longyou, but the praise was only a suspicious soldier, and the monarchs refused to believe it, and also said that Wei Ba was a general with bad intentions. Now, do you know who's right and who's wrong? ”

The generals bowed their heads, not daring to refute. This situation is absolutely beyond everyone's expectations, Zhuge Liang is not normal to send troops at this time, but there are suspicious soldiers in the praise slope, everyone is already psychologically prepared, and it is not difficult to accept. But Zhuge Liang is not in the praise slope, but Longyou, which no one expected. Of all the people present, only Wei Ba had said so at the beginning, and none of them agreed with Wei Ba's speculation.

In fact, even Wei Ba himself was not sure that Zhuge Liang would do this, after all, this was just the previous Jihua. However, at this moment, Xiahou Mao decided that Wei Ba alone made an accurate judgment, and who dared to say half a word?

"What now, you say?" Xiahou Mao took back the military report, waved his hand, and said solemnly: "Longyou is a place where the country raises horses, and there is no room for loss. Guo Huai only has 20,000 people, and now Tianshui and Nan'an are rebelling, the situation is unknown, and it is difficult to ensure the safety of Longyou with only his current troops. I decided to send troops to support, which general would be willing to help? ”

The generals looked at each other. There are only 10,000 people here, at least half of the Shu soldiers in the Bao Slope Road must be left, and 5,000 people rush to Longyou, plus Guo Huai's men, it is difficult to face Zhuge Liang's 80,000 army. This time, whether you can make meritorious service or not, and if you can come back alive, you are lucky. Knowing that there is a death ahead, how many fearless people are willing to come forward?

Seeing that the generals who were usually more angry than the other stopped talking, Xiahou Mao was even more angry, and he scolded: "In the past, all the monarchs were above the top, always wanting to make meritorious contributions and expand their territory, and some people even proposed to attack Hanzhong and sweep away the rebellion against Shu." Now Zhuge Liang took the initiative to send it to the door, but you don't speak one by one? ”

The generals were embarrassed and silent, and after a while, Tian Fu, who was standing in the corner, stepped forward and clasped his fists with both hands: "General, Tian is not talented, and he is willing to go." ”

Xiahou Mao glanced around: "Could it be that only Tian Duwei has eggs among the people present, and everyone else has become women?" ”

The generals were red-faced, but they still refused to go out to ask for orders. Xiahou Mao was furious, personally ordered the generals, and ordered two miscellaneous generals and more than a dozen captains in one breath. "You go to Longyou to support Guo Tingshi, don't say much, those who violate the order will be killed!"

The unlucky guy who was named had no choice but to respond and turn around and prepare to go.

"The rest of the people, except for the general's personal guard battalion, all rushed to the Baochuan crossing to line up, and they were not allowed to let the Shu army go out of the valley for a single step." Xiahou Mao shouted: "There are those who escape, and there is no forgiveness for killing!" ”

The rest of the people were shocked by Xiahou Mao's sudden burst of might, and they were silent one by one, not daring to have any opinions.

"Get out!" Xiahou Mao waved his hand and drove those generals out like flies.

The lobby was quiet again. Xiahou Mao ripped open the collar of his battle robe, reached out and picked up a piece of ice and stuffed it in. He was frightened just now, and he was already covered in sweat, and with this ice, he felt cooler, but his heart was still burning and uneasy.

He thought for a while: "Ziyu, I don't think five thousand people are enough." ”

Wei Ba pondered for a moment: "The general wants to turn the people of Chang'an over?" ”

Xiahou Mao nodded.

Wei Ba shook his head: "I don't think it's appropriate, Chang'an also needs to be defended, besides, Chang'an is the most densely populated place, if there are not enough troops, what if someone takes advantage of the trouble to cause chaos?" ”

"What then?" Xiahou Mao spread his hands: "With only these 5,000 people, I'm worried that I won't be able to defend the slope." ”

"There are nearly 1,000 defenders in Tongguan, you can transfer them over."

"Tongguan?" Xiahou Mao hesitated.

"General, Zhuge Liang is in Longyou, Zhao Yun is in Bao Chuan Road, only by guarding these two places, Guanzhong is safe. If Guanzhong is lost, even if Tongguan is impregnable, what can it do? ”

Xiahou Mao thought about it and felt that Wei Ba was reasonable. Although Tongguan is dangerous, for Wei, it is a barrier to the interior. Unless the Shu army occupies the entire Guanzhong, Tongguan is meaningful, otherwise no matter how well Tongguan is defended, it will have no practical effect.

"Since this is the case, I will order the requisition of the guards of Tongguan and let them rush to reinforcements."

"The general is wise."

Xiahou Mao smiled at this time, and he patted Wei Ba's shoulder: "Wei Ziyu, after this battle, I don't think anyone will doubt you because you are a general." You work hard and help me repel Zhuge Liang, I will definitely recommend you to Bixia. ”

"Thank you general, I am willing to serve the general."

"Haha...... "Xiahou Mao looks up to the sky daxiao."

Although Xiahou Mao already had enough trust in Wei Ba, he still didn't let Wei Ba rush to Tongguan, he asked Wei Ba to stay by his side to protect his safety. Wei Ba couldn't ask for it, so he offered another plan, which could levy those people who had just finished building the city and were about to go home for the autumn harvest, as well as those who participated in Tuntian, to help defend the city. These people can't fight in the field, but they can defend the city. In this way, at least 10,000 troops can be added, and the forces defending the city can be replaced and the field forces can be strengthened.

Xiahou Mao was very satisfied and immediately arranged for someone to do it. He said regretfully: "It's just a pity that the autumn grain is about to ripen, but it is too late to harvest, so it can only be thrown in the field in vain." ”

Wei Ba comforted: "This is also a helpless thing, if you can't keep the slope of the slope, even the entire Guanzhong is not a general's, let alone these grains." ”

Xiahou Mao sighed, very helpless. There is a big war in the southeast, and he is still counting on these military rations to alleviate the food crisis in the imperial court, so that he can make a meritorious contribution, but now it is good, it is rotting in the ground.

"Ziyu, I regret it a little." Xiahou Mao looked at Zhongnan Mountain, which wanted to be on a par with the sky in the south, and suddenly sighed: "I should have listened to you earlier." If I had listened to you earlier and reminded Guo Huai to be careful, I wouldn't be so nervous now. I'm worried that these reinforcements won't be enough, and they won't be able to catch up. ”

Wei Ba pondered for a moment: "This may not be. ”

Xiahou Mao looked at Wei Ba in surprise: "What do you mean......"

Wei Ba laughed helplessly: "General, although the Shu army has the advantage of strength, there is no cavalry, as far as I know, there are only more than 1,000 cavalry that originally belonged to Ma Chao, and now they are led by Ma Chao's younger brother Ma Dai, in addition, Shu Han has no formed cavalry." This is one of them; Although the Shu Han army was large, it was mainly a new soldier and had little practical combat experience. This is the second one; Zhuge Liang was a scholar and had never had experience commanding a large army. In the Shu Han army, the most experienced in combat are my father and my master, and now one of them has been demoted, and the other is in praise as a suspicious soldier, and even Wu Yi, who has a little experience, has been left in Hanzhong, and Zhuge Liang is surrounded by some scholars. This is the third; With these three unfavorable factors, how can it be so easy for him to defeat Guo Tingshi? ”

Xiahou Mao groaned for a long time, let out a long sigh of relief, and showed a relaxed smile. (To be continued.) )
