Wei Ba returned to Zhuyang and immediately invited Fu Xing, Zhang Wei, Feng Jin and others, no nonsense, and directly gave out his jihua and pan. The cooperation with the Wu people basically collapsed, and then, we will do our own thing, the south of the Han River will belong to the Wu people, and the north of the Han River will belong to us.

When Fu Xing and the others heard this, they were happy and angry. The happy thing is that there is no need to fight side by side with the Wu people, especially Lu Xun, and the angry thing is that Weishenme handed over the south of the Han River to the Wu people, which is the hometown of our Jingxiang people, how can it be occupied by the Wu people.

Feng Jin was the most excited, his hometown was the Nanjun Public Security, and he couldn't wait to get rid of the Wu people now and go back to his hometown.

Wei Ba waved his hand, signaling everyone to be calm. "Brothers, there is a saying, I don't think I will say it, you can understand it."

"If you don't say it, how do we understand?" Zhang Wei said angrily.

Wei Ba smiled, among these people, Zhang Wei's martial arts skills are the most haode, but he is also the laziest to use his brain. He looked at Fu Xing and Feng Jin: "Now limited by the situation, we can only cooperate with the Wu people, but from Bixia to the prime minister, down to every common people, our goal is by no means to stand side by side with the Wu people, but to unify the world." ”

Feng Jin nodded, the first to understand.

Therefore, forbearance for the time being is for the sake of victory in the future. Let the Wu people attack Xiangyang, just to introduce them into the battle group, not to hand over Jingxiang to them. One day, we will even have the six counties of Jiangdong in our pockets. Wei Ba continued to persuade. If he wants to accomplish this strategic goal, he must firmly unite these people in Zhuyang around him, and these people in front of him are the most likely to support him, he must explain the truth thoroughly, so that they can fully understand their own meaning, and then they can go all out, instead of hesitating and looking ahead.

"As the saying goes. If you want to stretch it, you must first bend it. The battle of Xiangyang dragged the main force of the Wei army. It's victory. If we can hold the Wuguan Road at the foot of Nanyang Zhanzhu, and reduce the pressure on Guanzhong, our goal will be achieved. For now. Let the Wu people attract the main force of the Wei army to the area of Xiangyang, so as to create opportunities for us. And if we want the Wu people to make a move, we must strike first. Wei Ba looked at Feng Jin and laughed: "Wenju." I think you should be able to understand that. ”

Feng Jin laughed and nodded again and again: "I understand, I understand." ”

Fu Xing and Zhang Wei saw each other and pouted disdainfully. Feng Jin has already made meritorious contributions, and they are all a little envious, jealous, and even more indignant at Feng Jin's little pride.

Wei Ba took some time to convince them. Then he rushed to visit Guan Xing and Zhang Shao. Guan Xing and Zhang Shao hesitated for a long time when they heard Wei Ba's jihua, but Zuihou still agreed. Guan Yu died in battle because of the Battle of Xiangyang, when he was bent on capturing Fancheng and Xiangyang. Take Wanluo directly. Seeing that success was imminent, but he was stabbed in the back by Wu Ren, the hatred in his heart can be imagined. Now he wants to help Wu Ren take Xiangyang first, he feels very uncomfortable, but after listening to Wei Ba's explanation, he also knows that this is the only chance to drag Wu people into the battle, so he nodded and agreed.

Guan and Zhang have always been one, Guan Xing agreed, Zhang Shao didn't think much about it, and agreed to cooperate with Wei Ba. In this way, Wei Ba gathered a group of young generals around him, although the strength of each person is not large, more than a thousand people, few only two or three hundred, but together, there are five or six thousand people. Coupled with Wei Ba's brother Wei Feng's men, they have the strength of nearly 10,000 people.

Wei Ba then went to visit Wu Yi again. Wu Yi understood very well that as soon as Wei Ba spoke, he laughed. "Ziyu, don't worry about me, no matter how adventurous your Jihua is, I will support you. In case something happens, in the future, the Queen Mother will be there, and I will try my best to help you out. Those young people, I think you must have already been there, then I won't talk about the rest, you go and persuade Meng Da, and this matter is settled. ”

Wei Ba also knew Wu Yi's thoughts. didn't say anything more, bowed down and retreated, and went directly to Meng Da.

Wei Ba has been moving around in the past two days, Meng Da also heard the rumors, and when he saw Wei Ba asking to see, he laughed and said to Deng Xian, who was sitting opposite: "Ziyi, what do you think Wei Ba wants to do when he comes to see me?" ”

"What else can you do, you want to ask us for help." Deng Xian swept all the chess pieces on the chessboard into the chess box, stood up, held the chessboard, and smiled at Meng Da: "Uncle, we can't be used by him." ”

Meng Dahadaxiao, waving his hand, motioned for Deng Xian to hide in the back. He sat upright, took out another book of soldiers, and pretended to be reading, which made Wei Ba come in.

Wei Ba walked into the big tent, saluted, glanced at the military book in Meng Da's hand, and said with a smile: "The general really can't let go of the scroll." ”

Meng Da smiled slightly: "Ziyu, please take a seat." It's nothing, live to be old and learn to be old. Ziyu, you came to me, is there anything wrong? ”

Wei Ba smiled, and said in his heart, this old guy must know what I'm doing, but he pretended not to know, just wanting me to take the initiative to speak. On both sides of the negotiation, whoever speaks first will lose psychologically, and I don't know this little trick.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that on the orders of General Wu, I will inform the general about the negotiation with the Wu people." Wei Ba smiled slightly: "General, when you read military books, maybe there is a time to apply what you have learned, but some people have no chance to go into battle." ”

Meng Da's eyes flashed: "Who is Ziyu talking about?" ”

"Of course, it's about those generals in Yongan and Jiangzhou." Wei Ba was calm: "The prime minister has arrived in Yong'an, and the Wu people have re-allied with me, there will be no major war in the Yong'an area in the short term, I estimate that they should be ready for spring ploughing now." General Meng, you have a long way to go. ”

Meng Da was silent, and after a while, he forced a smile and said, "I'm just a deputy general, what is the long way to go." ”

"Otherwise, besieging Xiangyang and resisting Cao Wei, how can you say that the responsibility is not heavy? Guanshan is thousands of miles, how can it be said that it is not far away? ”

Meng Da glanced at Wei Ba and couldn't help laughing: "Stinky boy, playing tricks with the old man again?" ”

Wei Bahaha smiled, replaced it with a somewhat tired smile, and took out a letter from his arms: "General, the clan you left in your hometown is fine, and now I am waiting for you to go back and see where it is." ”

Meng Da's eyes tightened, and he hurriedly took the letter and unfolded it, as soon as he saw the familiar and unfamiliar handwriting, and looked at the breath coming from Guanzhong, he couldn't help but burst into tears. He patted his thigh and looked up to the sky and sighed, "yes, I have to go back and take a good look." ”

"General, it's not difficult. As long as we take Nanxiang and enter Chang'an from Wuguan Road, the general will be able to return to his hometown in a few days. ”

The corners of Meng Da's eyes twitched, and he said angrily: "Stinky boy, you win." ”

"Thank you, General, for your support." Wei Ba bowed in thanks.

……

It took Wei Ba three days to convince Wu Yi, Meng Da and others one by one, and everyone finally sat down together and began to discuss how to attack Nanxiang County north of Hanshui. From the Wuguan Road, you can go straight to the county governance Wancheng of Nanyang County. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a Nanxiang country here, and later the Nanxiang country was abolished and became Nanxiang County. After the army of the hussar general Sima Yi withdrew from Wuguan Road, the main force was stationed in the Xinye area, but he also left heavy troops in Nanxiang County, especially he left the water division in Danshui and left troops in Wuguan to defend it. If the Shu army in Guanzhong wants to support, it must break through the interception of Shangxian, Wuguan and Shuishi.

Wei Ba's purpose was to take advantage of the opportunity of the Wu people to attack Xiangyang and attract the main force of the Wei army to the area around Xiangyang, and Deng Zhi to flank this part of the Wei army, reopen the Wuguan Road, and give Deng Zhi the opportunity to send troops to support the battle of Nanyang. But Lu Xun didn't give him this opportunity at all, and he had to attract the Wei army to Nanxiang first, and then he would send troops to Xiangyang.

To put it bluntly, everyone wants each other to be cannon fodder and pick up cheap by themselves.

The reason why Wei Ba's plan could be agreed by Lu Xun was that Wei Ba took the initiative to propose that the Shu army attack first and build a defensive line north of Fancheng to prevent the reinforcements of the Wei army, and if possible, take Fancheng first, so as to make early preparations for the Wu army to capture Xiangyang.

His approach was to take the initiative to jump out to be cannon fodder and give the initiative to Lu Xun. Because Lu Xun could sit back and watch the bloody battle between the Shu army and the Wei army, and wait until the time was right, and then attack Xiangyang in an orderly manner. When to attack, whether it was hard or perfunctory, Wei Ba couldn't restrain him. He could even sit back and watch the bloody battle of Wei Shu without moving his hands from beginning to end.

Such a good thing, it's no wonder that Lu Xun didn't agree. In this way, Wei Ba has forced himself to a dead end, if the loss is too great, even if he captures Fancheng, Zuihou will not be able to defend it, and all his efforts may just buy a little time for Lu Xun.

That's why Fei Yi doesn't approve of it.

However, there is always another side to the story. The Wu army could not attack, but the Wei army could not be unprepared, and once the Shu army attacked Fancheng, the main force of the Wei army would inevitably move closer to Fancheng. In this way, it was originally just a matter of the three parties watching each other from a distance and staying vigilant, so as not to misfire. Now you are next to me, I am next to you, no one dares to take it lightly, if you are not careful, there may be conflicts, and the possibility of melee is greatly increased.

Just like Feng Jin pretended to be the Wei army to attack before, causing the sailors of Wei and Wu to fight, Wei Ba wanted to further fish in troubled waters and create opportunities for the war between Wei and Wu. As long as the three parties start a war, Lu Xun just wants to stay out of the matter, and he may not be able to get his wish, and it will inevitably be a chaotic war at that time.

It's a tightrope walker. The risks are high, but the visible benefits are very small. Whether or not you can take advantage of the fire depends on the means of Wei Ba and others. The reason why Wei Ba dared to make such a choice was because he knew that although the 30,000 miscellaneous troops in Fangling were not united, they had a common language in the desire to make meritorious contributions. Whether it is the old Yizhou line like Wu Yi, or the Dongzhou line like Meng Da, or the descendants of the Yuan line like Guan Xing and Zhang Shao, they all want to make meritorious contributions, and they all want to improve their status and gain more benefits through fighting.

The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit. Wei Ba wants to use this advantage to lure them, and then gather their liliang, scratch Xiangyang, the most sensitive weakness of the Three Kingdoms, and then pry the balance of the world.
