Chapter 542: Cocoon and self-restraint

Zhuge Ke replied to Wei Ba with a letter, his writing was brilliant, but he was extremely arrogant. He said to Wei Ba, I have heard for a long time that Wei Jun is the handsome man of Shu Han, and I really want to meet you and increase my knowledge. But now we are enemies, and since we are enemies, we don't need to meet, I'll wait for you in the city. lest I be impressed by Wei Jun's demeanor, give birth to pity, and fail to fight wholeheartedly, and live up to the trust of the country. If I am lucky enough to be alive after the war, and Wu and Han can reunite their alliance, I will definitely go to the door to ask Wei Jun for advice, in order to gain something.

After reading Zhuge Ke's reply, Guan Feng sneered: "I don't know the height of the sky, I only know how to show off lip kisses." ”

Wei Ba fiddled with the reply, and said to Xiahou Xuan with a smile: "Taichu, do you see this Zhuge Ke's intentions?" ”

Xiahou Xuan was disdainful: "At his level, I will scold him to death." ”

"Then you scold me, you can really scold him to death, I will save trouble."

Xiahou Xuan smacked his lips and didn't answer Wei Ba's words. He was just expressing his disdain for Zhuge Ke, how could he really scold the dead. It's really boring to talk to someone who doesn't have a sense of humor.

"He's waiting for us to attack the city." Guan Feng tasted the meaning, "He gave up the Bucheon counties and concentrated all his forces in Linhe, if we want to occupy the entire Linhe County, or enter Cangwu through Linhe, we must attack Linhe County." Not to mention that we only brought 6,000 people, even if we brought 10,000, it may not be easy to conquer Linghe in a short period of time. But if we don't attack the city, we will have to return in vain. ”

Wei Ba nodded, and glanced at Xiahou Xuan reproachfully: "Great celebrity." Do you see the murderous motive lurking in it? ”

Xiahou Xuan's face was flushed.

"So what do we do?" Guan Feng frowned: "He takes retreat as advance and attack as defense, he looks cowardly, but it is really uncomfortable." ”

"It's okay, he makes me uncomfortable, I'll make him even worse." Wei Ba spread out the map and marked the location of both sides on it, and Zuihou nodded to Xie Mu County. "I think that Zhuge Ke is bent on leading us to Linhe, probably because he wants to send someone to occupy Xie Mu. Then cut off our retreat. Until then. If we advance, we will have no way to attack the city, and if we retreat, there will be no way to escape, so we can only deal with them in this flat land. ”

Xiahou Xuan stared at the map for a while, and suddenly said in surprise: "This is an open field." But it's a good place for cavalry to charge. He wouldn't want to transfer Zhu Ji's cavalry, right? ”

"You've finally got the hang of it." Wei Ba said with a smile. But there was some bitterness in his mouth. Riga is the main road to Cangwu. If you don't conquer Linhe, you can't attack Cangwu. The southwest of Linhe County is a flat open land, about ten miles wide from east to west. It is about 15 miles long from north to south, facing mountains on three sides, and the exit is the valley mouth where Linhe County is located. If you want to attack the city, this open area is naturally the most camping place, but once a cavalry comes from the north, this is a slaughterhouse, and there is no place to escape.

Zhuge Ke's intentions are very vicious, this is to pick a good battlefield, dig a pit and wait for him to jump.

"It's a self-righteous idiot." Guan Feng sneered: "Who does he think he is, and Zhu Ji will listen to his command?" Once the cavalry enters this area, it is certainly happy to rush and kill, but if it is blocked here, it is difficult to escape. ”

Wei Ba's eyes flashed: "You mean to say that Zhu Ji won't come?" ”

"If he is so arrogant to Zhu Ji, I believe Zhu Ji will ignore him." Guan Feng nodded and pointed to Zhuge Ke's letter. "Zhu Ji is the son of Zhu Ran, one of the four surnames of Wu County, the cavalry he led is not his own, but Lu Xun's, in case the loss is too great, can he afford this responsibility? Besides, if this battle is won, who will take the most credit? Will Zhu Ji be so kind to fulfill Zhuge Ke? ”

Wei Ba couldn't help but laugh out loud. He knew what the problem was. As Guan Feng said, Zhuge Ke was too self-righteous, he chose a battlefield and then waited for him to attack, which was not wrong. However, he tried to mobilize Zhu Ji, who was at the same level as him and even older than him, to help, which was a bit unbelievable. He is favored in front of Sun Quan, but when it comes to the battlefield, who cares if he is a new ding?

As soon as the angle of looking at the problem changed, Wei Ba suddenly opened his mind. He immediately ordered the army to be divided into two, with Xiangfu leading 2,000 troops to set up an ambush at Guishan in the north of Bucheon, waiting for Zhu Ji, who might come to help, and assisted by 100 armor soldiers led by Heisha. The north of Guishan is a swampland, the west side is Du Pang Ridge, and the east side is Meng Zhu Mountain, which is the only way to enter Linghe from Lingling and Guiyang. With 2,000 men and 100 armor soldiers guarded, even if 10,000 troops came, Xiangfu would be able to support him for a period of time and provide him with enough warning.

Wei Ba himself led his army to camp under Linhe City, and at the same time issued a conscription order, informing the nearby barbarians to come to help, the rice in the field was almost ripe, and the Wu army hid in the city and did not dare to come out, it was a good time to harvest the rice.

After listening to Wei Ba's order, everyone laughed. Zhuge Ke thought he was smart, defended Linhe City, lured Wei Ba to attack the city, and then trapped Wei Ba under Lincheng He, but Wei Ba now besieged and did not attack, but summoned the nearby mountain people to grab the rice outside the city. If Zhuge Ke wants to stop it, he can only go out of the city to fight and hide in the city, he can't stop it.

One static and one moving, the anti-guest is the main one, and the host and guest are translocated instantly.

……

Ring around the mountains of Heji.

Between the five mountains, there are more mountains than flatland, and there are more barbarians than Han people. Usually I can't see a single person when I walk for a long time, but after three or five days, I don't know where a lot of barbarians appeared, one by one, carrying a flat pole, a rope, a guy who eats, and a guy with a headcut in his waist, and happily rushed to grab it. Most of them don't have any armor, and if they bring a wooden plank is a shield, and those who can bring a broken bamboo armor are considered rich.

There are many people here who are aiming for the great name of Wei Shenjiang. The deeds of Wei Shenjiang who only took half a day to break through the Yan Pass have become an authentic myth, and it has also become the most popular topic among the barbarians in the mountains after tea and dinner. Directly rushed away the Wu army on the pass, and a lightning bolt killed Lu Kai, the leader of the Wu army. Hearing that Wei Shen is coming to Linhe, the barbarians in the nearby mountains want to open their eyes and see if Wei Shen will have three eyes, or three heads and six arms or something. As for being able to harvest some rice, it is no longer the most important thing.

To the surprise of the barbarians who heard the wind, General Wei was also a person, a very kind young man who showed a mouthful of white teeth when he smiled. Wei Shenjiang is not a high god, no matter who he sees, he is happy. When you see the elderly, you have to give it up. When I see a little doll, I touch my head and say a few words of gossip, and I will blush when I see a big girl with sharp teeth and a little daughter-in-law. This was a bit of a disappointment for the barbarians who wanted to see the monster, but they were immediately attracted by the golden rice outside the city of Linhe.

The harvest then began.

The barbarians are like locusts. Energetic. Day and night, the rice in Rinza County is harvested. Anyway, there was an army of god generals looking at the Wu army in the city. They can act with confidence, even if they encounter sporadic obstacles, they are not afraid. Throw down the scythe, pull out the machete in your waist and put it on, and they didn't need to make a move at all, they solved it on their own.

Zhuge Ke was so angry that he smoked, he made it to the wall, but he didn't have time to clear the wilderness, he knew that this was the case, and it would be good if he burned all the rice outside with a fire. Of course, he didn't want to burn it, but he didn't expect Wei Ba to come so quickly, he originally wanted to put it away as military food, after all, his subordinates also had to eat.

With a single thought, these rice seeds became Wei Ba's trophies. Looking at the barbarians who were looting outside the city, Zhuge Ke almost gritted his teeth. He was looking forward to it, just waiting for Zhu Ji to lead the cavalry to kill from the direction of Xie Mu. As long as Zhu Ji arrived immediately, even if Wei Ba grabbed these rice, he would not have a chance to eat them.

However, as the rice outside the city became less and less, the rice fields that could be seen were harvested, and he did not see a single war horse, let alone Zhu Ji's cavalry. The north was peaceful, and there was not a hint of war at all.

Zhuge Ke's heart gradually sank, and he realized that he had made a mistake. This is not Wuchang, there is no king and prince who trust him here, and Zhu Ji doesn't take him seriously at all.

Stealing chickens is not a recipe for rice.

However, the matter is far more serious than the eclipse of rice, Zhu Ji refused to come to help in the war, only the three thousand men and horses led by Zhuge Ke could not defeat Wei Ba, he originally wanted to flank Wei Ba, but now he was blocked by Wei Ba in Linhe City. As time passed, he was in danger of running out of food.

For the first time, Zhuge Ke felt the coldness and reality of the battlefield, and no matter how good his eloquence was, he couldn't solve the dilemma in front of him. He began to think about how to solve his trouble, and wondered who might be willing to save him. Zhu Ji couldn't count on it, so he had to turn his attention to the Jiaozhou assassin Shi Dailiang and the Fenwei general Pan Jun stationed in Linhao.

Zhuge Ke wrote a sincere letter for help, and sent people out of the city secretly to Panyu and Linhao. This time, he learned to be obedient, and did not ask them to besiege Wei Ba in a big way, but asked them to relieve the siege.

Zhuge Ke's letter for help was sent, and Zhu Ji's reply was late. He said to Zhuge Ke, I have reported your Jihua to the general of the auxiliary country, and the general of the auxiliary country believes that the terrain of Linhe County is not suitable for cavalry combat, and for the sake of all plans, I can only move around Quanling and am not allowed to enter the mountainous area. Therefore, I can't go to save you, I hope you hold on for a while longer, General Fuguo and General Fenwei are arranging for someone to pick you up. You must hold on, drag Wei Ba in Linhe, and don't let him escape. If you can kill Wei Ba, you will be a great achievement.

Zhuge Ke was so angry that he scolded: "Zhu Ji, Lao Tzu remembers you." ”

……

Just when Zhuge Ke scolded Zhu Ji, Wei Ba ushered in a mysterious guest.

The man was in his thirties, thin, with a pair of slender eyes, always looking at people as if he was squinting. After he entered the account, he carefully looked at Wei Ba for a long time, and Zuihou fell on Xiahou Xuan's body, revealing a respectful look.

"Are you really Xiahou Taichu, the son of the general of Zhengnan?"

Xiahou Xuan was stunned for a moment, and nodded a little unhappily: "I am, who are you?" ”

As he spoke, he took out a pair of seals from his arms and carefully placed them on the desk. "This is the Qi Chun Taishou Seal Ribbon that Gong Cao gave to my brother Fei Zhan, my name is Fei Yang."

Wei Ba's eyes tightened: "It turns out that you are the younger brother of Danyang Marshal Fei Zhan." (To be continued......)
