Yiyang, the camp of the auxiliary generals.

After the completion of the negotiations between the Shu and Han sides, Pan Jun was transferred back to Wuchang by Sun Quan to recuperate, and the right general Buqi lost more than half, although he was still stationed in Xiling, but he was no longer able to bear the heavy responsibility of guarding Jingzhou, the position of Xiling Governor was still retained, and the auxiliary general Lu Xun re-led the Jingzhou pastor.

Re-receiving the Jingzhou Governor means that Lu Xun has once again become the highest magistrate of Jingzhou, although the Xiling Governor like Buqi is not under his jurisdiction, but in addition to these governors, other military personnel are under his control.

Wei Ba seized Wuling, and he was stationed in Chenyang, but he did not give up the most fertile land in the lower reaches of Yuanshui, Zhao Tong led the Linyuan order as the general of Huwei Zhonglang, commanded a thousand troops, and was stationed in Linyuan City, while Liao An managed Linyuan and the surrounding Hanshou, Longyang, and Yuannan counties as the chief secretary of Wuling Taishoufu, and in Wei Ba's arrangement, most of the taxes in these four counties were used to support Zhao Tong's soldiers, and only needed to provide a part of the food to Chenyang.

This is a considerable autonomy, similar to the military system of the state of Wu. In order to make his generals feel the benefits, he used the food yi to raise the army, that is, the county taxes were handed over to the generals to take care of themselves and be used to support the army they led. The general situation is that there are one or two counties, and there are very few of four counties, all of which are the governors of the town, like Zhou Yu, Lu Su, and Lu Meng in the past, and Lu Xun now.

Zhao Tong ate four counties as a tiger general, and this kind of treatment made Zhou Yin, Zhu Ji and others red-eyed. As a result, Zhao Tong had sufficient financial resources to support more soldiers, and nominally Wei Ba only gave him 1,000 men. But with the help of Liao An, he recruited another three or four thousand people, which was enough to keep Linyuan impregnable.

Zhao Tong was stationed in Linyuan with heavy troops, which showed that Wei Ba's strategic intentions were by no means satisfied with separating Wuling, and once he had sufficient strength, he would inevitably march towards the hinterland of Jingzhou. To this end, Sun Quan made corresponding adjustments, and let Lu Xun be stationed in Yiyang to supervise the three counties of Changsha, Lingling, and Nanjun, plus Yidu County, which was in charge of Buqi in the north. The four counties form a semi-encirclement. Limit Wei Ba's death to the extent of Wuling. The partial general Zhou Jun, the Xingye Governor Zhou Yin, the southern Lingling Governor Lu Kai, the northern Governor Zhu Ji, and the new Changsha Taishou Zhou Yi were all under Lu Xun's control.

Zhou Yi is a rising star of Wu Guo. In the Battle of the Stone Pavilion the year before last. He rose to fame in one fell swoop. Now in order to deal with Wei Ba, a cunning opponent. Sun Quan transferred him from Poyang to Changsha to strengthen Lu Xun's strength.

Zhou Yi is a master of usefulness, and his arrival has strengthened Lu Xun's intelligence capabilities. The news that kept gathering made Lu Xun very uneasy.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Wei Ba is ready to move again, and there are signs of strict soldiers, you see, how should we deal with it?"

It's going to rain again. Lu Xun half-leaned on the brocade pier, gently rubbed his thighs, and sighed secretly. The last time he rushed to Chenyang, his thigh was seriously injured by the saddle, and then after many treatments, the skin and flesh have been restored, but the leg bones have left sequelae, as soon as it rains on a cloudy day, the thighs are sore and unbearable, and they can't sit for a long time.

Zhou Yin and the others sat around, each thinking about their thoughts. This is not the first time they have encountered such a scene. Before the negotiations between the two sides ended, Wei Ba began to harass them, and five thousand elites were fully armed, carrying enough grain and grass to carry heavy loads, and slaughtered all the way to Yanguan. Although Lu Xun knew that Yanguan had Lu Kai's 3,000 elites and more than 5,000 barbarians from the Xiongxi tribe to help, he didn't dare to be careless, and gathered people and horses all the way to Yanguan, but when they arrived at Yanguan, Wei Ba was gone, and after half a month and a month, Wei Ba either appeared in Jinping Mountain, or appeared in Chenyang, or appeared in any part of Wuxi. Lu Xun sent someone to ask, but Wei Ba didn't give him a good look.

I'm training people, and I want to inform you?

Lu Xun could only pinch his nose and swallow his anger, although he knew that Wei Ba might be targeting the strict pass in Lingling, but as long as Wei Ba did not cross the Xuefeng Mountain, he could not accuse Wei Ba, so he could only strengthen his vigilance.

No matter how powerful Zhou Doi's meticulous work is, they can't have wings, they not only have to fight with Wei Ba's subordinates who are not inferior to the meticulous work, but also face the obstacles of the lofty mountains, in order to send a message back to Yiyang, they will spend at least ten days to half a month, once the action is hasty and their whereabouts are exposed, they may be violently corpsed in a certain wilderness, becoming a dead name on the roster in Zhou Doi's hands.

In less than half a year, Zhou Yi's subordinates lost more than 30 of their fine work, and the problem of time difference still could not be solved.

In this way, the information they get will be half a month behind Wei Ba's actions at the earliest. By the time they were discussing, Wei Ba might already be on his way. The urgency of time forced them to react as quickly as possible, otherwise they might not be able to rescue them.

"It's a suspicious tactic." Zhou Yin muttered: "Yanguan is the main road to Jiaozhou, since Wei Ba can't break through in the east and north, he can only seek to break through to the south. He did this just to disguise his true purpose, and I think we should rush to the aid and try to keep it safe. ”

Lu Xun was noncommittal, and turned his gaze to Zhu Ji: "Gongxu, what do you see? ”

Zhu Ji smiled bitterly: "What Zhong Ying said is naturally reasonable, but I am more worried that he is a tired soldier." ”

"How so?"

"In the middle of summer, the miasma is at its highest in the mountains and forests, and it seems unreasonable to send troops at this time." Zhu Ji said unhurriedly: "Wei Ba is not a real god, can he not be affected by the miasma?" ”

Zhou Yin couldn't help but retort: "Gongxu, what you say is common sense, but you seem to have forgotten one thing, what Wei Ba is best at fighting is not following the rules." If you speculate on him by common sense, how can you be undefeated? ”

Zhu Ji's face turned cold: "Zhong Ying, we are all defeated under him, why do you only stare at me alone." ”

Zhou Yin choked, and was about to argue again, but Zhou Jun pulled his sleeve and signaled him to stop talking. In this big tent, except for Zhou Yi, a newcomer, including Lu Xun, they have all been defeated by Wei Ba, and it is too big to say such a thing.

Lu Xun turned his gaze to Zhou Yi's face expressionlessly. Zhou Yi opened his mouth unhurriedly. "Zhou Duwei's vigilance is of course reasonable, but Zhu Duwei's consideration is also reasonable, no matter how surprising a person is, he can't pull out his hair and cross the mountain. Wei Ba is still a person after all, as long as he is still a person, he can't overcome human barriers. Sending troops in the middle of summer, I don't think it's likely, and it's more likely to be another tired strategy. ”

"You can't send troops in the middle of summer?" Zhou Yin couldn't help but amplify the volume. "You seem to have forgotten that Zhuge Liang's expedition to Nanzhong is in May."

Zhou Yi frowned slightly: "Captain Zhou, why are you so angry, can't you wait for me to finish speaking?" This is not like the family style of the Governor of Zhou. ”

"...... you" Zhou Yin was furious, stood up, and kicked the case in front of him: "Do you dare to insult your father, dare to fight with me?" ”

"It's you, not me, who insult Lingzun." Zhou Yi also stood up, and said coldly: "I heard that Cheng Gong once said that having sex with Zhou Gongjin is like drinking mellow mash, and he will get drunk without realizing it." But if you look at your current appearance, where is the mellow mash, it's just an urn of bad wine, and it's hard to eat. Probably only a puppet like Wei Ba would ......"

"Ziyu, shut up!" Lu Xun snorted lightly and interrupted Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi glared at Zhou Yin stupidly and retreated. Before Zhou Yin could say more, Lu Xun raised his voice again and said, "Captain Zhou, this is my big tent, please save me some face." ”

Zhou Yin sighed and hugged his fists: "Yin is not feeling well, dare to ask for retirement." If the general has an order, just give the order. Leave! After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left. Zhou Jun is in a hurry, it's not chasing it, it's not chasing it. Lu Xun waved his hand and motioned for him to appease Zhou Yin. Zhou Jun was relieved and hurriedly chased out.

There were only four people left in the big tent, Lu Xun, Lu Lan, Zhu Ji and Zhou Yi, who looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.

For Zhou Yin, their attitude is very unified, and there is no need to even declare it.

"Ziyu, you go on."

"Whoa." Zhou Yi bowed and saluted: "Although it is a tired strategy, it is not a good idea." Alternating between virtual and real, only between the two. However, Wei Ba only has 5,000 soldiers, and Yanguan not only has Xiongguan to defend, but also has 8,000 men and horses. At the beginning, it was because Lu Kai was newly defeated, the army was uncertain, and he needed the support of the general, but now that more than half a year has passed since the war, such worries naturally do not exist. Even if Wei Ba really went to Yanguan, he couldn't do anything. If we can't attack for a long time, maybe it's our chance. ”

Lu Lan laughed: "Ziyu, is this trying to lure Wei Ba out of the hole?" ”

Zhou Yi smiled slightly: "Admittedly, you don't know that although Wei Ba seems to be smooth in Wuling now, there are some dead knots that cannot be untied. There were a lot of people from Chengdu, and they all needed financial support, and if they didn't open up new sources of wealth, these people would inevitably compete with the barbarians for profit, and once there was a conflict, it would be difficult for Wei Ba to mediate between them. Therefore, it is imperative for him to attack the strict pass and open up the trade route in Jiaozhou, and it is not impossible to send troops in midsummer. But isn't this an opportunity for us? Now the barbarians of Poyang and Yuzhang are uneasy, and they all want to defect to the invincible god generals, we can't stop it just by blocking it, and only by finding an opportunity to hit Wei Ba hard can we fundamentally stabilize people's hearts. ”

Lu Xun's eyes flashed: "Shanyue is very uneasy? ”

"Yes." Zhou Yi put away his smile and looked solemn. "General, Wulingman is just a minor illness, and Shanyue is a henchman."

Lu Xun picked up the jade Ruyi on the case and rubbed it slowly, he understood what Zhou Yi meant. Zhou Yi did not suggest taking Wei Ba lightly, on the contrary, he hoped to take this opportunity to fight with Wei Ba and defeat Wei Ba, so as to revive the morale of the Wu army and stabilize the hearts of Shanyue. Shanyue is the foundation of the Wu army, nearly half of the Wu army's troops come from Shanyue, once Shanyue is shaken like Wulingman, it will be the destruction of the Wu army.

Wei Ba is really ruthless, no wonder he wants to get that scholar from Laimin to teach the barbarians to read, where is this reading, this is brainwashing. (To be continued......)
