Chapter 873: Shame and Courage

Of course, Sun Quan couldn't ask for it.

Zhuge Liang wanted Sun Deng to be Liu Chan's companion and teach them personally, which was a godsend for Sun Deng. Sun Quan has always disliked Sun Deng's pedantic spirit, and the disagreement between father and son has a lot to do with their different ideas. Zhuge Liang advocates Legalism, which is similar to Sun Quan's ideas, and if he teaches Sun Deng for a period of time, he may be able to correct Sun Deng's old habits.

In addition to his academic growth, Sun Quan was more pleased with the implication of this move, that is, the imperial court had no intention of getting rid of the king with a different surname, at least not for now. In the future, his fiefdom may shrink, but the prince has the possibility of passing it on.

While delighted, Sun Quan was a little puzzled, with Zhuge Liang's character, how could he tolerate the long-term existence of a king with a different surname?

Faced with Sun Quan's question, Fei Yi smiled silently. However, his relaxed expression made Sun Quan very reassured, at least it would not be a bad thing. After being forced to become a vassal, the Shu Han court continued to make moves to hollow out the foundation of the Wu State, and Sun Quan had trouble sleeping for this. He was afraid that Cao Wei would perish, and after the world was unified, Zhuge Liang and others would turn their heads and cut the feudal domains, in a word, Zuihou wanted to get rid of these kings with different surnames.

Now, Zhuge Liang wants Sun Deng to be Liu Chan's companion, and he also plans to let Zhuge Ke, Gu Tan and others enter the Prime Minister's Mansion, which is not as simple as a show. Zhuge Liang doesn't understand Gu, can he still understand Zhuge Jin? These two people will not easily turn their backs on Wu Guo.

Although Sun Quan still had questions, his precautions were somewhat relaxed. He went on to talk about the recent war. The first is to ask Lu Xun to be the general. With Wei Yan and Chen Zhi as deputy generals, Han and Wu jointly sent troops to attack the Yanzhou area and advance the front to the north; The first is to agree with the cavalry general Wei Ba to use Guangling as a base to train sailors and prepare for an expedition to Liaodong. On this battlefield, Wei Ba was the mainstay, with the cooperation of the generals of Wu State, and the relevant materials and financial endowments were negotiated and resolved according to the actual situation. Fei Yi rushed here. It's about negotiating.

Sun Quan was satisfied. Zhuge Liang did not leak anything. So that you can't find a reason to refuse, he has thought about everything, even if he takes advantage of it, he also takes advantage of it, which makes you feel that he has a last resort. And not to deliberately run you.

Sun Quan sighed with emotion: "Alas. The prime minister is in Chengdu. The world is safe. ”

Fei Yi smiled, he knew that Sun Quan's emotion was true. Zhuge Liang, who was inclined to the Han-Wu alliance, sat in Chengdu and held supreme power. Even if Wei Ba wants to be savage, it will be more difficult than before. At that time, Li Yan colluded with him, no matter what he did, he could be unimpeded, and Wu Guo was tossed by them like this.

……

After negotiation with Fei Yi, Sun Quan basically agreed to Zhuge Liang's request. After they negotiated, Sun Quan's order was quickly sent to Yingchuan, and the auxiliary general Lu Xun received the order and immediately rushed to Jiangling.

Knowing that Lu Xun had arrived, Wei Ba personally went out of the city to greet him.

Lu Xun rushed to Chenyang that year, his thigh was worn out by the saddle, and he was seriously ill, but after he recovered, his leg was still a little lame, and it was usually not too serious, and he could only see the abnormality when he walked briskly. Under normal circumstances, Lu Xun walked very slowly, but Wei Ba personally greeted him, and stood on the side of the road early to wait, Lu Xun didn't dare to hold it up, got out of the car, and when he stepped forward quickly, he looked a little embarrassed.

Wei Ba took two steps, held Lu Xun's arm, and said with a smile: "General Fuguo, there is no need to be so polite. ”

"As it should be." Lu Xun said. He looked Wei Ba up and down and sighed with emotion. "The future is terrifying, and the ancients are honest and do not deceive me."

"Not really. The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and one wave is higher than the other. If future generations are not as good as their predecessors, how can they make progress? Baxiao's achievements are also due to the tempering of opponents like generals. ”

Lu Xun smiled slightly, showing his integrity. Wei Ba was able to become famous, largely because he defeated him, but now that he is facing Wei Ba, he does not have much self-shame, but is very calm, and there is only indifference after pain in his eyes.

For him, being defeated by Wei Ba was just a setback in his life, far from the most serious blow.

"The general can win without being arrogant, honesty is precious, but I don't know if the general can be defeated without being discouraged."

"I'm skeptical, too." Wei Ba smiled faintly: "So, although I have defeated the general by luck, I dare not think that I have surpassed the general." The self-winner is strong, and I have seen two strong people who can win themselves. ”

Lu Xun's eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "The general is too polite, how can Xun be virtuous, dare to compare with Cheng." ”

Wei Ba smiled, Lu Xun's words were to the point. A "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", in addition to those emperors, there are only two people who are qualified to pass on independently, that is, Lu Xun in front of him and Zhuge Liang in Chengdu. He said that the two of them are strong people who can defeat themselves, but there is a secret agreement with history.

Wei Ba invited Lu Xun into the car, and the two talked about the war. One old and one young, they are all battle-hardened famous generals, the maps are all in their heads, some words are not very clear, and the people next to them may be confused, but they can understand each other's meaning.

"This time the infantry and cavalry are fighting together, there are more than 10,000 Liangzhou elite cavalry, Chen Hujun and his father's two generals, plus the auxiliary generals sitting in the Chinese army, I think it will definitely be able to break through and approach the Yellow River."

"If you don't talk about taking Luoyang, I'm afraid that you have more than enough heart and not enough strength."

"What the general said is very true." Wei Ba said very calmly: "Attacking Luoyang is indeed of great significance, but the current strength is not yet available. Luoyang is too big, and we are not sure of victory. Therefore, winning in the field is the most hode of methods we can take at present. If the battle line can be pushed to the Yellow River, Luoyang will not take it, and the Jianghuai River can also be recuperated. ”

"Do you want to drag Cao Rui to death?"

"Isn't it better than a siege, if possible?"

"If possible, it's a good choice." Lu Xun bowed slightly: "But killing 1,000 enemies, injuring 800 ourselves, and fighting continuously, our losses are not small." ”

"Because of this, we have to push the battle line forward and fight as far as possible in the Wei State." Wei Ba paused for a moment, and then said, "Relevant supplies." We will unify the dispatch and will not burden Jiangdong too much. If there are any deficiencies, we will borrow them in the name of the imperial court, and we will pay you back a lot of money in the future, and we will also give you some interest. Of course, the interest rate may not be too high. ”

"The court borrowed money, and there was interest?" Lu Xun showed a surprised expression. This was a big surprise to him, the imperial court used troops to quell the rebellion, and it needed money, so it was enough to directly increase taxes and taxes. Even if it's borrowed. That may not be repaid, let alone interested. Is this business?

"This is a hard rule made in order to prevent the imperial court from neglecting the war and using military force." Wei Ba smiled: "I'm going to Chengdu this time." The biggest achievement is probably to finalize this matter with the prime minister. It is not about the survival of the country. No arbitrary increase is allowed. This will be a convention that must be observed, and it will continue to be done in the future, but it is not appropriate to make it public at this time. The general was the first to know about it. ”

Lu Xun smiled silently. After a moment, he bowed and said, "Thank you, General." ”

"You're welcome."

……

Wei Ba welcomed Lu Xun into the city and held a banquet. The atmosphere of the banquet was not harmonious, Feng Jin and the others did not have a good impression of Lu Xun, many of them had their fathers and brothers who died in the battle of Yiling, and the culprit was this Lu Xun. It's not easy to sit with the killer of your father and drink and talk. However, Wei Ba set up a banquet, and they had no choice but to sit with their heads down and drink with their heads down.

Lu Xun also felt a little embarrassed, he didn't know that Wei Ba Weishenme would arrange it like this, this was obviously not happy. However, with his understanding of Wei Ba, it probably wouldn't be an unintentional mistake for him to do this, and it must have a deep meaning.

He decided to wait and see.

Wei Ba looked around and understood. He coughed.

Feng Jin and the others immediately raised their heads, looked at Wei Ba with blazing eyes, and no one looked at Lu Xun.

Wei Ba stretched out his hand and pointed at Lu Xun: "Who is this one, you don't need me to introduce you, you can all know it." To tell you the truth, General Lu will be the main general of the Jianghuai battlefield in the future, and there are two deputy generals, one is General Zhendong, my father, and the other is Chen Zhi, the general of the army. ”

Feng Jin and the others were silent, except for Wei Ba's voice, there was only a heavy wheezing sound in the big tent.

"I know you're not happy about that. Actually, I can tell you that I am also very unhappy. Wei Ba put his hands on the case, and his eyes swept over the generals: "My Han is also a talented man, but can you tell me who can command an army of nearly forty or fifty thousand and fight with the same number or even more Wei troops on a battlefield within a radius of thousands of miles and have a chance of winning?" If so, please stand up and describe the strategy, even if it is not very thorough, I am willing to recommend it to Bixia. ”

Feng Jin and the others looked at each other, except for Wei Ba and Lu Xun, no one present had such ability. Commanding an army of forty or fifty thousand men to fight, and facing the same number of Wei troops, is no joke. Even if the number of cavalry is not inferior, commanding such a large-scale battle still requires extremely clever planning ability.

"No?" Wei Ba raised his voice, and his face became very serious. He shouted: "Shame! Coward! ”

Everyone was shocked and inexplicable, not knowing that Wei Ba Weishenme suddenly became so angry and spoke ill of him. Only Lu Xun guessed Wei Ba's intentions, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"You hate General Lu because he once defeated your fathers on the battlefield. If you want revenge, you should defeat him on the battlefield. But you can't, you can only stare like a child. So that you can defeat General Lu and clear your hatred? Wei Ba said sharply: "Wrong! You're just going to make people laugh at it. If you have the opportunity to meet again on the battlefield, you will lose more badly and completely than your fathers. ”

Feng Jin, Zhang Wei and others were red-faced and speechless.

"I can say without modesty that I am the only one who has ever defeated General Lu." Wei Ba slowed down his breath and said word by word: "You must be curious, I can defeat him." I can tell you right now. Before entering Wuling, I knew that one day I would face him and have to be his enemy, so from that time on, I began to use every possible opportunity to study him. When we met on the battlefield, I knew everything about him before, and he didn't know much about me. ”

"So, I won him." Wei Ba looked around and sneered: "Now, I invite him to you and let you come to study and study, but you will only pout like a child who has not grown up, sit on the side and sulk?" Shame and courage, you don't even have the courage to learn, and you still want to make contributions? ”…… (To be continued......)
