In May, the spring ploughing ended, and Wei Ba began to act.

Xiahou Xuan, who had just returned from the conquest of Sanhan, set foot on the battlefield of the war with Wei for the first time, commanded 30,000 cavalry, entered the territory of Yanzhou, and then turned south and attacked Chen Liu, who was behind Suiyang. At the same time, Sun Shao, the general of Zhendong, led 15,000 cavalry, starting from Pengcheng and attacking westward.

Wei Ba himself personally led 40,000 steps to ride, from Linzi to the south, and pointed to Suiyang.

Xiahouba received the news and once again sent a message to Luoyang asking for help. Prior to this, he had asked Luoyang for help many times, but Luoyang did not respond, neither reinforcements nor money and food. In the past, Xiahou Ba thought that the imperial court was overstretched and powerless, but now he knows that Luoyang has reinforcements and money and food, and he will not give it to him.

Because Empress Dowager Guo has long been negotiating with Wei Ba. Just as she gave up Qingxu at the beginning, she also had to give up Yanzhou, give up all the land south of the big river, and then retreat to Yecheng. That's where she belongs—where she wants to be.

Although Wei has not yet been declared a vassal, it has long positioned itself as the king of Wei.

There was no money and food, no reinforcements, Xiahou Ba refused to fight, Sun Shao had just arrived in Xiayi, Xiahou Ba gave up Suiyang and retreated in stride. In the area of Chen Liu and Junyi, he made a little contact with Xiahou Xuan, who had just arrived, and retreated in great strides again, all the way to Xingyang.

In less than a month, Wei Ba occupied the entire Yanzhou, and Xiahou Xuan led the vanguard into Gyeonggi. It was rumored outside, as if the battle was quite fierce, but in fact, Wei Ba and Xiahou Ba both knew that they were not fighting at all. Not even a casual conflict. Xiahouba ran all the way back to Xingyang.

However, the people of Luoyang didn't know the story of Lu Dao, Xiahou Ba was defeated and retreated, and Wei Ba rushed forward, which suddenly pushed Luoyang to the most dangerous edge. Wei Ba has always been known for his invincibility, but he has never set foot in the Gyeonggi range. Suddenly, he appeared in front of Luoyang, which was really frightening.

In addition to Wei Ba, Lu Xun of Yingchuan also sent troops. He and Meng Da led an army of 40,000. Cao Shuang, who entered Henan from Yingchuan County and led the army to meet near Yangcheng, was approaching Yuyuan Pass. Many years ago, he and Zhuge Liang had two ways to attack Wei. Prepare to conquer Luoyang. Because of Sima Yi's counterattack. Snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Now, he is once again in Luoyang, but he has changed a comrade-in-arms.

After settling the army. Lu Xun rushed to the Xingyang camp with his personal guards, and he was accompanied by Wei Feng and Wei Wu brothers.

Wei Ba greeted him at the door of the tent. As soon as he saw Wei Ba, Lu Xun bowed down and bowed: "Meet His Royal Highness the King of Jin." ”

Wei Feng and Wei Wu, who were following him, glanced at each other, and had to bow down and bow down, calling him His Royal Highness the King of Jin. Wei Ba was a little unaccustomed to it, and just as he was about to stop it, Lu Xun glanced at him with his eyes and shook his head slightly. Wei Ba understood, so he had to wait for Wei Feng and Wei Wu to finish their salutes before reaching out to help each other.

No way, it's the rule. There are no rules, there are no rules. Win the world immediately, but you can't rule the world immediately. Whether he likes it or not, he still has to abide by this set of rules. Otherwise, tolerance will easily turn into indulgence, and at the end it will harm them. In fact, it was already a rare grace for him to greet him at the door of the tent.

"You have worked hard from afar, and you have come to speak in the account." Wei Ba let Lu Xun and the others into the big tent, and Wei Wu said impatiently: "Brother, I can tell you that it's good, if you give birth to a son, you will let me go into battle." My mission is done, and you can't stop me anymore. ”

Wei Ba couldn't help but scold: "I have a child and become a father, and I haven't seen you more stable." You put it clearly, how did you have a son so quickly? Don't forget, I'm talking about having at least two sons. ”

"Two is enough, I overfulfilled the task, three!" Wei Wu raised his eyebrows proudly, and said happily: "I don't believe you asked Zirou, I see if I have a lie." ”

Wei Ba was really taken aback and turned his gaze to Wei Feng. Wei Fengha smiled and nodded, "What Zilie said is true. ”

"So fast?"

"Actually, it's nothing. Didn't you ask your mother to help him take a concubine, but your mother took two concubines for him at once. The two women were both children of small families, and they were in good health, and they became pregnant in less than two months after entering the door. Probably stimulated by them, the younger siblings also took care of their bodies with peace of mind, and then they were also pregnant. This spring, four children were born almost simultaneously. ”

"Four?" Wei Ba's eyes widened.

"Yes, my brother and sister gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, and the other two have a son." Wei Feng patted Wei Wu's shoulder and sighed: "I used to think that you had many heirs, but now I see, this kid is the most capable of giving birth." Grandma said that he had to be allowed to go out and carry out activities, otherwise, he would not be able to support him with that little tax alone. ”

This time, even Lu Xun couldn't help but laugh out loud. He only knew that Lu Dao brought Wei Feng and Wei Wu to see Wei Ba, but he didn't know that Lu Dao still had such an agreement between their brothers. As for saying that Wei Wu was afraid that he would not be able to raise a child, it was just a joke between brothers. Wei Wu just didn't go into battle to fight, and Wei Ba would reward him. He's just having itchy hands.

"So, I'm speechless." Wei Ba sat down in front of the desk. At this time, Xiahou Xuan and Sun Shao also arrived, and several people gathered around the map and began to arrange the war.

"Luoyang City is very strong, not so easy to attack." Wei Ba said: "General Lu has the most say in this. ”

Lu Xun nodded, and then said: "Although our army has more than 100,000 troops, it is still not an easy task to capture Luoyang City. In my opinion, it is better to besiege the city. Instead of scattering the Wei army and then pursuing it, it is better to surround Luoyang, wait for the Wei army to come to support, and annihilate it under the city of Luoyang. ”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Wei Ba said again: "General Lu's siege is indeed a good way. However, our army of more than 100,000 cannot wait here together. Wei Ba raised his head and looked at Wei Feng and Wei Wu: "Zirou, I'll give you a task." ”

Wei Feng immediately puffed up his chest, and his eyes lit up with excitement.

"You rush to Qingzhou immediately, and after meeting Tang Qianyu, rush to Youzhou and obey Deng Ai's command."

Wei Feng was stunned: "Why do you want to go to Youzhou?" ”

Wei Ba rolled his eyes, it seems that after staying at home for a few years, Wei Feng still hasn't made much progress in the art of war. Lu Xun coughed and explained: "General, Luoyang is a siege battle, and the cavalry, especially the heavy armored cavalry, cannot play much of a role. But when it comes to Youzhou, heavy armor riding can play a very critical role. Occupy Youzhou, go west to merge the state, go south to take Jizhou, this battle, can be fought. ”

Wei Feng didn't hear the one in front of him, and the last sentence was the last sentence, but it was right in his arms. He immediately smiled and replied loudly.

Seeing that Wei Feng had a good errand, Wei Wu was anxious: "Brother...... What about me, King? ”

"You are by my side for the time being, leading the guards."

Wei Wu wanted to say more, Wei Ba coughed, and signaled him to talk about it later, so as not to affect his official duties. Wei Wu looked at the triumphant Wei Feng, and had to swallow back the words that came to his lips.

Wei Ba, Lu Xun and others continued to discuss the war.

"Since we all agree not to attack Luoyang for the time being, then we will make a division of labor." Wei Ba turned his gaze to Lu Xun: "General Lu, you are most familiar with the situation in Luoyang, and you will be responsible for the siege of Luoyang." Xiahou Taichu was the deputy, and Mencius and Sun Gongli's department were all at your disposal. ”

Lu Xun was stunned and hesitated. Sun Shao is just that, Xiahou Xuan is Wei Ba's brother-in-law, and he has long been a general in charge alone, so letting him command Xiahou Xuan is not an ordinary heavy task. Even if he attacked Wei, for fear that Xiahou Xuan would have an inexplicable connection with Wei State, he could be transferred away, and there was no need to arrange it under his command.

"King, since it is only a siege for the time being, not a storm, is it a waste to leave so much here?" Lu Xun said carefully: "If you send a general to cross the river and enter Jizhou, you will first cut off the back road of the Wei army......

"You're right, but I took the task of entering Jizhou, and no one can rob me." Wei Ba Ha smiled: "Luoyang is the most important, although it is only a siege so far, not an attack, but it cannot be neglected." Therefore, the troops here must be kept sufficient. With so many troops, I can't think of a second suitable candidate other than you. ”

Wei Ba smiled and said, "General Lu, I remember, you are over fifty this year, right?" ”

Lu Xun hurriedly bowed down and said, "Six out of fifty." ”

"Six out of fifty, in a few years, it will be the year of the sixtieth year. If you don't take advantage of this opportunity to fight, will you have to fight thousands of miles in the year of the sixtieth year? General Lu, life is not only about fighting, but also about enjoying family fun. When you are old, you will become famous and famous, and you will not fight with young people anymore. You say, don't you? ”

Lu Xun understood, and Wan'er smiled: "Since this is the case, then I will not give in." Gentlemen, it's not that I want to grab credit, this is the opportunity given to me by the king, so you can wait a little longer. ”

Xiahou Xuan also laughed: "This is the opportunity given by the king to the general, why not give us an opportunity." It is also a blessing for us to be able to ponder and observe by the general's side. In the future, when the general disarmed and returned to the field, I am afraid that except for Ling Lang and Lingsun, few people will have such a good opportunity. ”

He turned around and bowed to Wei Ba: "Thank you, Great King." ”

Sun Shao also laughed: "General Xiahou is reasonable, and I deeply agree. For so many years, I have long felt that I have reached a bottleneck, and if I can get General Lu to dial it, I may be able to open it up. ”

All of you here are smart people. Lu Xun This is the last battle, after this battle, he will be famous, but he will not go to the battlefield again, and the future opportunities are theirs. In this case, why should they compete with Lu Xun, everyone is happy to be a favor and achieve his last battle. Since it is the last battle, Lu Xun will naturally do his best, and this battle will definitely be exciting. It can be said that it is the best of both worlds to observe nearby, learn some skills, assist Lu Xun to complete this mission, and also accumulate a little foundation for his own independent command of troops in the future.

Wei Ba's arrangement is not a general, but a general. As a future monarch, he has turned his attention to adjusting the relationship between his generals, not just arranging his troops. No matter how clever a general is, he is just a general, and a general is a real commander
