Chapter 566: The Contest Is Everywhere

Sun Quan carried one hand behind him, and the other hand slowly crossed the silk map, from Wuchang to the south, stopped in Changsha, and then turned to the east, bypassing Luling, crossing the Great Yuling, and directly inserting into the South China Sea, and then hooked back, and stopped in Guangxin City, Cangwu County.

"Shuying, do you think it's feasible?"

Sun Jun pressed the saber, stood aside, and quietly looked at the map: "The king's tactics are indeed good, but I'm worried that there will be too much time." He took his gaze back from the map, and said: "And this strange army is running thousands of miles, in order to hide its whereabouts, it can't send more messengers, and it is not enough to contact the main force, if there is a little difference in the middle, it will be ......."

"What's the point difference pool?" Sun Quan raised his eyebrows, "Wei Ba's main forces are all newly recruited barbarians, will he be the opponent of the auxiliary generals?" Even if he divides a detachment, it will only be two or three thousand people. I'll give you 10,000 elites, and you're still afraid of two or three thousand of them? ”

Sun Jun was taken aback, and shook his hand again and again: "King, I can't, I can't." ”

Sun Quan's face sank in displeasure.

Sun Jun bowed and said earnestly: "The king does not give up, and the minister should be grateful for such a heavy responsibility." But for the sake of the family and the country, the ministers are not suitable candidates. At the beginning of Lishui, it was because the ministers were not good at using soldiers and were blamed by Wei Ba, which caused the loss of Lipu and Chenyang, causing Wuling to fall into the hands of Wei Ba. If the king orders the minister to be a small colonel, the minister is willing to rush to kill and fight with Wei Ba. However, commanding an army of 10,000 and taking on the heavy task of recovering Jiaozhou is not something that a minister can bear. I also hope that the king will think twice and choose the virtuous. ”

Sun Quan's face softened. Sun Jun was once captured by Wei Ba. He was afraid that he would not be able to convince the public, but it was not for nothing. However, Sun Jun is a clan member and a person he can trust, and there is no suitable candidate nearby except Sun Jun.

Seeing Sun Quan's hesitation, Sun Jun suggested again: "The king, the minister is a candidate, the king may be able to consider it." ”

"Who could be more suitable than you?"

"Zhou Yin."

Sun Quan's eyes flashed, and he didn't say anything. Sun Jun continued: "Great King, since Wei Ba entered Wuling. The number before and after will clash with Wei Ba. Among them, there are both well-known heavyweights and rising stars. From the perspective of the ministers, Zhou Yin is probably the one closest to success. If it weren't for Zhou Jun's cowardice, he would retreat without a fight. Maybe it was on the side of Tatsusui at the beginning. Wei Ba was captured. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Sun Quan couldn't help but be a little surprised. He had no idea about it. In his impression, so far, Wu Guozhong has never won against Wei Ba. Either he died in battle or was defeated, or he was captured alive, and even Lu Xun was just a draw. Relatively speaking, Zhou Yin is not the most cowardly, but he is only limited to not being cobble, I didn't expect him to be so close to success.

Sun Quan was hesitating, and the figure of Lu Yi, the school officer, flashed and stopped in the doorway. Sun Quan waved his hand and said to Sun Jun: "Okay, I'll think about it again." However, even if someone else leads the troops, you have to go with them. Shuying, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, who has never lost a battle? I suffered such a big loss in Hefei, but I didn't survive it. Don't be pressured, I'm sure you can be a good player. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Sun Jun also saw Lu Yi and retreated. After he left, Lu Yi walked in. His footsteps were soft, as silent as a cat. He walked up to Sun Quan and bowed. Sun Quan beckoned and said very casually: "Say, what's the matter?" ”

"The king, the minister's subordinates saw Zhang Wen drinking and having a secret meeting by the river in Fei Yi, and they talked very happily."

Sun Quan raised his eyebrows, and his eyes suddenly became stern. "What are you talking about?"

"It's like it's about the war in Linhe." Lu Yi muttered again, and Zuihou said again: "When Zhang Wen mentioned Zhuge Liang, he seemed to be very intimate. ”

Sun Quan's face was pale, he snorted, flicked his sleeves, and Lu Yi bowed and retreated. Sun Quan walked back and forth in the hall twice, gasped for breath, and his face was cloudy. At this time, someone came to report that Zhang Wen asked to see him.

Sun Quan was stunned for a moment and looked back at Gu Li. Gu Li was also at a loss, but he still suggested: "King, since Zhang Wen is here, it's good to listen to him, and if you listen to it, it will be clear, and if you listen to it, you will be dark." ”

Sun Quan agreed, and asked Zhang Wen to be called in. During this period, he rubbed his face, and when Zhang Wen walked in front of him, he had already regained his composure, and there was a faint smile on his face: "Huishu, why did you come here?" ”

"King, the minister just met with Fei Yi by the river." Zhang Wen said straight to the point.

The corners of Sun Quan's eyes jumped, and he said quietly: "Yes, what did you talk about?" ”

"It was Fei Yi who took the initiative to invite the minister. Looking at his intentions, he seemed to be very worried about Wei Ba's safety and hoped to resume negotiations. ”

"Oh, what did you say?"

"The minister thought that if he wanted to negotiate, he would let Wei Ba withdraw from Jiaozhou, but the minister advised him to notify Wei Ba as soon as possible and recognize the situation, so as not to make the king angry and the jade to be burned."

"Really?" Sun Quanpi looked at Zhang Wen with a smile: "Hui Shu is very confident in this battle." ”

Zhang Wen smiled slightly: "As the king said, the minister is very confident in this battle. With the two heavy generals of the auxiliary general and the general Fenwei, plus young talents like Zhu Ji and Zhuge Ke, it should be expected to defeat Wei Ba and the 30,000 rabble under him. Just ......"

The corners of Sun Quan's mouth twitched: "Just what?" ”

"The king, Wei Ba is unruly, Zhuge Liang sent him to Wuling, originally with the intention of killing people with a knife. Killing Wei Ba is not of much benefit to us, but it is in addition to a confidant for Zhuge Liang......"

Sun Quan ruthlessly interrupted Zhang Wen's words. "Hui Shu, Wei Ba is now not only Zhuge Liang's henchman, but also Lone's henchman. If you want to intercede for Wei Ba, then it's better to avoid being respectful. ”

Zhang Wen's face turned red, he opened his mouth, and nodded helplessly: "What the king said is very true, and the minister has not considered it." After speaking, he silently arched his hand and withdrew. He wanted to persuade Sun Quan to reopen negotiations with Fei Yi, but he didn't expect Sun Quan to give him a chance to speak at all, and interrupted him almost rudely.

Zhang Wen left, and Sun Quan's face suddenly collapsed, sullen. His gaze swept over the map, and he remembered Sun Jun's suggestion again. Although he did not agree with Zhang Wen's suggestion, there was one thing he and Zhang Wen thought about the same, Lu Xun used 30,000 elites to deal with Wei Ba's 30,000 rabble, the odds of winning were still quite large, the difference was only in retaking Jiaozhou by force, or negotiating to let Wei Ba withdraw from Jiaozhou. Judging from his own thoughts, Wei Ba is a bane, and having such a chance is of course good to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, even if it is to eradicate an opponent for Zhuge Liang, it is worth it.

What he had to think about was far from being as simple as defeating or killing Wei Ba. He thought about it for a long time and decided to recruit Zhou Yin to Wuchang for an interview, if Zhou Yin really almost defeated Wei Ba, then it would be good to let him lead his troops to Jiaozhou. Zhou Yu is the cornerstone of Jiangdong, and his eldest son Zhou Xun was also a talent, but unfortunately he died too early, his daughter married the crown prince Sun Deng, the Zhou family and the Sun family have been inseparable, and supporting Zhou Yin will definitely help to balance the Liliang of Jiangdong's system in the army.

Sun Quan immediately ordered Zhou Yin to rush to Wuchang.

……

The sun shone from behind the mountains and illuminated the valley. Wei Ba once again stood on the mountain, looking down at the position between the valleys. After yesterday's fierce battle, the first line of positions has been stained red with blood, although the corpses have been cleaned up, the blood stains cannot be removed, even in the early morning, the air is still filled with a strong smell of blood. Swarms of flies flutter around the valley, making people upset.

In the distance, the smoke of the Wu army's camp was curling, and they were still eating breakfast. This is half an hour later than the usual time, Lu Xun seems to be deliberately showing his calmness, and even eating breakfast is so slow and methodical, twice as long as others.

The contest is everywhere, Wei Ba muttered to himself. As soon as the connoisseur stretched out his hand, he knew if there was any, and he could use psychological warfare so indistinctly, he had to admire Lu Xun for having two brushes. This is the same as holding a meeting, Zuihou is always the biggest official, and Lu Xun just delays the time for half an hour, so he has a psychological advantage.

If he had the same strong soldiers, he could launch an attack on Lu Xun now, trapping him in the camp and making it impossible for him to get out. In ancient times, there was such a war example, during the battle of Chu and Jin, the Chu army blocked the Jin army in the camp, so that they could not go out of the camp to line up, and as a result, the Jin army knocked down the tent and lined up in the camp, which escaped a disaster.

If he can do this, he can also make Lu Xun embarrassed once, so that he will not be so arrogant. But he can't, it's not easy for these people under him to hold the position, leaving the position to attack Lu Xun's camp, it will lose control, and Lu Xun will probably really invite him to eat at that time.

Of course, after he was captured by Lu Xun and became a prisoner.

"Lu Boyan, you bully me. It doesn't matter, as long as you can't beat Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will want you to look good sooner or later. Wei Ba looked at Lu Xun's banner and muttered indignantly: "Is it a sense of accomplishment for a veteran who has been famous for many years to bully a junior?" ”

Xiangfu walked over, looked at the empty Wu army position, and then looked at the peaceful Wu army camp in the distance, and asked in surprise: "General, Lu Xun, what's going on?" ”

Wei Ba's cheeks twitched, and he smiled evilly: "I was probably defeated yesterday, and I didn't dare to come out today." ”

"So what do we do?"

"We're lining up as usual." Wei Ba said without thinking: "Let everyone warm up first, and when Lu Xun comes, beat him hard." ”

Xiangfu didn't have him, and went down to arrange for the soldiers to enter the position. Wei Ba carefully observed the emotions of the soldiers, and after psychological counseling in the middle of the night yesterday, there was no Xiaoying that he was worried about, and no one escaped, but the mood was a little depressed and restrained, not as high-spirited and arrogant as before the war. In this regard, Wei Ba is very satisfied, appropriate pressure is still necessary, and it is not a good thing to always be fearless for the ignorant. Only an army that can calmly handle victory and defeat is the real elite. It's like a true sword can only be forged through constant tempering. What he was worried about was that Lu Xun's sledgehammer was too fierce, and if he smashed the unformed blank at once, then he would lose a lot of money.

He had no doubt that Lu Xun had such sinister intentions...... (To be continued......)
