Chapter 543: Strife

In the thirteenth year of Jian'an, the ambitious Cao Cao was burned by Zhou Yu in Chibi, and he returned home, losing a great opportunity to dominate the world. The defeat of Chibi caused a major setback to his rising prestige, and then Ma Chao caused chaos in Guanzhong, which restrained most of his energy and made him have no time to go south. But Cao Cao did not give up, he sent spies deep into the area of Danyang and Yuzhang, and encouraged those who were unwilling to cooperate with Sun Quan to cause trouble, which caused great trouble to Sun Quan.

Among them, Danyang Feizhan and Poyang Youtu are the two largest of several liliang, Sun Quan has sent people to suppress many times but has not succeeded, Zuihou is still sent by He Qi and Lu Xun together, which stabilized the situation. needs these two to act together, you can imagine how tense the situation was at that time, and how much energy Fei Zhan and the others had.

Wei Ba had long wanted to take advantage of Shanyue's liliang. The reason why he accepted Liao Li's suggestion to expand the identity of the god general from the master of the Pangu Old Ancestor to other barbarian tribes was also for this purpose. In Liao Li's words, this is called leading the beast to swallow Wu, isn't it happy. Among the liliang he wanted to subdue, Shanyue was no less than Wulingman's Liliang, and even above Wuhuman. Now Fei Yang, the younger brother of Fei Zhan, the former handsome Danyang Marshal, came uninvited, it can really be said that he has nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.

"You are?" Fei Yang looked at Wei Ba puzzled. He had already noticed Wei Ba just now, although this person had a bearing, he was too young, and he was dressed very casually, and he was still wearing armor on a hot day, and he looked like a general who came to report to Xiahou Xuan. However, seeing that he talks casually with Xiahou Xuan, it is estimated that his status is not low. Although Fei Yang was displeased, he didn't dare to be too lazy.

"He is General Fuyi, Wuling Taishou Wei Jun, that is, the famous god general." Xiahou Xuanqiang couldn't help but smile and introduced it seriously.

Fei Yang was taken aback and blurted out: "You are a god general?" ”

Wei Ba smiled: "What, it's not like?" ”

"No, ......" Fei Yang was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say, after thinking for a while, he turned over and bowed down. Kowtowed again and again: "Fei Yang has eyes but no beads." If you offend God, ask God to forgive you. ”

Wei Ba hahadaxiao, helped Fei Yang up, and quipped: "You must think that the god will have two horns." Three heads and six arms. Now I see a common man like you. I'm a little disappointed. ”

Fei Yang shook his head embarrassedly: "It's clumsy, please don't blame the gods." But God will say no less. There was a rumor outside, although there were no firstborns with two horns, three heads and six arms, in short, they were not ordinary people. ”

Everyone in the tent couldn't help but laugh. Most of the people who come to see Wei Ba these days are so surprised, they are no longer surprised.

After laughing a few sentences, getting back to the point, Fei Yang explained his intentions. He heard that the Han and Wei armies were attacking Wu, so he specially traveled thousands of miles from the hinterland of the Danyang Mountains to serve the gods and avenge his brother Fei Zhan.

"You probably want to see if this ribbon is still useful, right?" Wei Ba picked up the seal ribbon of Qi Chun Taishou, looked at the official seal of 2,000 stones, and said half-jokingly. Fei Yang was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer Wei Ba's words. Wei Ba gently put the seal back on the table, raised his head, and put away his smile: "Although Cao Gong is gone, I can answer you instead of Cao Gong." Of course, this pair of seals is useful, but it can only mean that we still admit the original promise, and it does not mean that we can make you Qi Chun Taishou now, because Sun Quan may not be willing to let it. You should know how to really become a Qi Chun Taishou, otherwise, you won't come all the way here. ”

Fei Yang breathed a sigh of relief. "The god will really be as wise as a torch, although my brother and You Dashuai and Peng Dashuai have been defeated, their vitality is still there. As long as the god will raise his arms and exhale, the thousands of miles of mountains will inevitably rise in response, even if he can't fight Sun Quan in a decisive battle, but it can also make him restless. I only hope that God will be able to hear our loyalty to heaven, so that our blood will not be in vain, and we will have nothing else to ask for. ”

Wei Ba laughed secretly in his heart, these people had a dead knot with Sun Quan, and they were unwilling to be killed, so they came to vote. There is nothing else to ask for, a county is not a cabbage.

"How many of you are left?" Wei Ba asked with concern: "How is your life in the mountains all these years, what do you need us to help you with, just ask." ”

"Including women, children, and children, and 100,000 people, it's generally fine." Fei Yang arched his hand gratefully: "These years have indeed been difficult, and the external losses have been great. Since the death of several great commanders, we have retreated deep into the mountains. Although Wu Jun was vicious, he did not dare to go deeper. There are slopes in the mountains where rice can be grown for self-sufficiency, and there are also copper and iron to make weapons, and life can go on. It's just that the news is closed, I don't know the situation in the world, and I am sad about the tyranny of the Sun family but I can't change it, and my morale is relatively low. The god will be born, and as soon as the news of the seven battles and seven victories reaches the mountains, it is really exciting. Everyone said that the remnants of the Sun family would not last long. ”

After listening to Fei Yang's introduction, Wei Ba was surprised and delighted. He didn't expect that Shanyue would have such a powerful liliang. As long as half of what Fei Yang said is true, it is a surprise. These people were all inside Sun Wu, and the nearest was only a few hundred miles away from Wu County, and their threat to Sun Wu's regime can be imagined. This is really a real henchman, compared to them, whether it is Wuximan or Wuhuman, it is really not a real threat.

"I am very touched by your loyalty to the Great Han. However, as you know, the current situation is not optimistic, and we have not yet entered Yangzhou. If you can mobilize and strike at Sun Wu, it may have a major impact on the current situation of the war. Of course, you may have to make great sacrifices, but I ask you to believe that justice is in the hearts of the people and that all your sacrifices will be worth it. ”

When Fei Yang heard this, he was satisfied, and bowed down: "Please rest assured, the general, I will go back to contact the ministry, listen to the general's orders, and hope that the general will enter Jiangdong as soon as possible, go straight to his henchmen, exterminate Sun Wu, and let me live and work in peace and contentment, and share peace." ”

……

Zhuge Ke stood on the city wall, looking at the cleanly purchased rice field outside, his face was cloudy and almost dripping. In just a few days, he has changed as a person, and he is no longer the high-spirited. A hot-blooded young man who is bent on making contributions, but a fish swimming at the bottom of the kettle who is worried about his life. He felt the cruelty of the truth and was very angry.

He knew that he would fall into this field, it was nothing more than a power struggle between the Jiangdong and Jianghuai systems, and no one wanted to see him a young man from the Jianghuai system suddenly rise up and establish miraculous achievements. In order not to let him succeed, they would rather give up this great opportunity to kill Wei Ba. In the face of family interests, the country is nothing, and this is what he can least accept.

He had no doubts about Zhu Ji's use of Lu Xun's order as an excuse. Lu Xun is the representative of the Jiangdong martial arts. After the fiascos of Buqi and Lu Dai respectively. Lu Xun is the greatest strength of the Wu army in Jingzhou. Sun Quan sent Pan Jun to Changsha to command the operation, nominally as a deputy general, to assist Lu Xun, but in fact, there was also a purpose of decentralization. With Lu Xun's cleverness. It's impossible not to understand the intent. Nor is it possible to remain unprepared. Zhuge Ke could understand his displeasure. But to do such a thing at such a time can only be described as madness.

Anger doesn't solve anything, and Zhuge Ke now has to plan for his own survival. He glanced at the lonely sky in the distance. With a long sigh, he turned and descended the wall.

Pupu.

Lu Xun walked slowly across the ridge with his hands behind his back, his eyes swept over the sweaty dark backs of the people who were working, and drifted into the distance. His eyes were calm, and there was no emotion to be seen, even a little indifference. Lu Lan followed behind him, looked at the people who were busy, and said with some anger: "Do you want us to help him harvest, return the grains to the warehouse, and wait for him to come back?" ”

Lu Xun glanced at him and asked lightly, "What about your opinion?" ”

Lu Lan didn't speak, and asked rhetorically: "Are we still staying in Chenyang?" Until when? ”

"Hold on until the king orders us to leave." Lu Xun smiled, "These grains are all for us to eat." A little more food, and we can hold on for a few more days. The army has not moved, and the grain and grass go first, you should not understand this truth. ”

"But......" Lu Lan wanted to say but stopped. He felt very aggrieved. Capturing Chenyang and regaining control of Wuling was a great achievement, but Wei Ba didn't seem to care, he had conquered Yanguan, but he didn't mean to return to Chenyang, but instead took people to Linhe, it seemed that Chenyang was not lost, but just lent it to them. They are not enemies, but friends. However, Lu Lan was not at all grateful for Wei Ba's "friendship", and Wei Ba's efforts seemed meaningless by doing so. What made him even more angry was that Sun Quan took advantage of the time when they were in Chenyang, sent Pan Jun to Changsha, squeezed out Zhou Yi, and sent Zhuge Ke to Guiyang, which was obviously trying to snatch a large part of the military power from them. Pan Jun is the general of the defeated army, Zhuge Ke doesn't understand anything, he has never fought at all, he can only show off his mouth.

Lu Lan felt that Sun Quan had done whatever it took to suppress the Jiangdong people.

"Make good use of this grain, every grain of rice is borrowed, and it will have to be repaid in the future." Lu Xun said faintly, with a hint of indescribable sentimentality.

"Also? weishenme to pay it back? Lu Lan said breathlessly.

"Because he's stuck in our lifeline." Lu Xun said, the corners of his mouth provoked a sneer: "Originally, I was worried that Zhou Yi was not his opponent, but now that the king has sent Zhuge Ke, I am relieved." ”

Lu Lan understood and didn't say anything more.

Lu Xun raised his head, looked at the sky in the distance, and sighed softly. "It's still Zhuge Liang who is clever, turning harm into profit, and using an unruly opponent to such an extent, people have to admire him. We are all inferior to him. ”

"I'm afraid that he will raise tigers, and he will regret it when the time comes." Lu Lan sneered.

"You underestimate Zhuge Liang, no matter how inferior Wei Ba is, can he ignore his father and brother and openly become enemies of Zhuge Liang? In fact, he is a very interesting person. You can see that he has not torn his face with Zhuge Liang until now. Moderation is a difficult thing for a young person to do. Standing up and drawing a sword against each other is often the easiest, but enduring humiliation is the hardest. ”

Lu Lan looked at Lu Xun's back and knew that Lu Xun was moved. Thinking of the humiliations that Lu Xun endured for the prosperity of his family. He couldn't help but sigh secretly, and at the same time a little confused. Now that the state of Wu is in danger, if it declines or even dies the country, what is the point of Lu Xun's efforts?
