Xin Pi was also very haggard on the Wei army's position. From the beginning of his arrival at Sima Yi's camp, he attacked Dengsai, marched quickly, and started the war at Fancheng, and there was no time to rest. Now his face was covered in dust, greasy, and dirty.

It must not be dirty anymore.

But Sima Yi obviously had no idea of ​​rest. He sat straight on the podium with a straight waist, holding a book and a glass of wine. Most of the time, he was reading books, occasionally putting down the book, taking a sip of wine, and then having a good time.

Taste the taste.

If there were no sounds of war drums and shouts of killing, if there was no strong smell of blood in the air, if there was no greasy shiny by the fire on Sima Yi's face, Xinpi would have an illusion that this was not on the cruel battlefield,

Instead, a spring outing on the shore of the Han River.

March is a good time to go out.

Xinpi has to admire Sima Yi's calmness.

"General, do you have any other arrangements?" Xinpi asked insolently.

"Other arrangements?" Sima Yi looked at Xinpi in confusion. After a moment, he shook his head: "No." After a pause, he said again: "If there is, it is His Majesty's wisdom."

What a person Xinpi is? How could he not understand what it means? I have done my best and all the soldiers have been put into the battlefield. If I still can't win, it just proves that I was right to ask for more military power.

It starts from the overall situation. If you win by luck, it will be a heavy loss. If you don’t give me more soldiers, I will have to trap Fancheng and Xiangyang siege. You can send someone else to resolve the situation.

This is a loyalty, it is also a demonstration, and there is even another intention. If you lose the war, then you will naturally withdraw from the court. Since the emperor is worried that my military power is too heavy, I will simply hand over the military power and fade out of the court from then on.

, has nothing to do with me.

When Cao Xiu died of illness and Cao Zhen was sick, if Sima Yi gave up his military power, who could bear this burden? The emperor hesitated for so long, wasn’t he just inseparable from Sima Yi?

"But if Fancheng is lost, it will be unfavorable to our army."

Sima Yi shook his head and smiled disdainfully: "It's nothing to lose it. Fancheng is low and shallow, and it's easy to get it and lose it. After this battle, the Shu army suffered heavy losses. How could he occupy Fancheng for a long time? To be honest, I think

Wei Ba seemed too arrogant this time. He took Fancheng? Hahaha, what else is there to create opportunities for the Wu people? George, what do you think?"

Xinpi shook his head: "The general fought with him many times, but he couldn't guess what he wanted to do, so how dare I guess? However, Xiangyang is the gateway to my Great Wei, and we must not lose it. Otherwise, I'm afraid that Your Majesty will move the capital again

, you can't stop it."

Sima Yi couldn't help laughing and couldn't help laughing. He was still a little proud when he remembered that successful advice.

"It's been ten years." Sima Yi put away his laughter and his eyes were a little lonely. "It's a pity that Emperor Wen died young. If he were still there, that would be great."

Xin Pi nodded with the same feeling. The Cao family's three generations, Emperor Wen, Cao Pi, was the closest to the aristocratic family. Although he was also wary, after he came to power, the aristocratic family no longer had to be as cautious as in the Cao Cao era. Two things that were beneficial to the aristocratic family

A big event: Chen Qun's promotion of the ninth-rank Zhongzheng system and Sima Yi's command of the troops was all started by Cao Pi. Unfortunately, Cao Pi died at the age of 40, while Cao Rui, who succeeded to the throne, was not like Cao Pi at all.

Adhering to Cao Cao's temper, he was very strict in preventing the aristocratic family. Even the minister appointed by Cao Pi could not get a little bit of power from him.

"George, do you think Qin Lang and Tian Yu have such a sense of smell, can you feel such an opportunity?"

Xinpi's eyes flashed and he shook his head: "Qin Lang is just a slander who uses sex to entertain others. How could he have such ability? Tian Yu is possible, but he is not familiar with the terrain here, and he has no desire but lacks strength.

”

Sima Yi smacked his lips: "If this is the case, it would be a pity."

"Yes, if these iron cavalry were led by the general, how could the situation in Fancheng be so nervous?"

Sima Yi looked at Xin Pi, and the two of them laughed in a clear way. While laughing, they shook their heads helplessly, and their smiles slowly turned into bitter smiles.

...

On the south bank of the Han River, Lu Xun stood on the high tower and looked out at the battlefield on the north bank of the Han River. The cold spring breeze blew the sound of war drums across the Han River and into the hearts of every soldier up and down Xiangyang City.

Everyone knows that the gains and losses of Fancheng are crucial to Xiangyang. Once the Shu army captures Fancheng, Xiangyang will become an isolated city and the Wu army will soon launch an attack. Once the Shu army fails to attack the city, the Wei army recaptures Fancheng.

The floating bridge will inevitably reconnect Xiangyang and Fancheng, and the Wu army can only retreat and give up this great opportunity.

"I wonder if Wei Ba's only has a sharp mouth." Lu Lan, who was standing beside Lu Xun, said quietly, with a complex tone, and a hint of sourness.

"I don't think he is." Lu Xun said: "Zhuge Liang is a great man. He can value Wei Ba so much. Whether he values ​​or is afraid, it is enough to show that Wei Ba is not an ordinary person. Zhongshan, you have to pay attention to this person, if

If you have the chance to lead the troops, you will face him sooner or later.”

Lu Lan responded in a silence. He looked down on Wei Ba, but he believed in Lu Xun's vision. He felt a little uncomfortable with Lu Xun's attention to Wei Ba so much. "With the general here, what kind of storm can Wei Ba cause? Maybe he

He will be defeated by the Wei army soon, revealing his true face."

"It is already rare to be able to support Sima Yi until now." Lu Xun turned around and looked down at Lu Lan, turned around and walked downstairs: "Zhongshan, don't act irritating. Only by being calm can you observe things."

"Here." Lu Lan carefully supported Lu Xun and followed him step by step.

Lu Xun stepped into the camp and stopped again. He turned his head and looked at the north bank of the Han River again. His eyes flashed, and he suddenly said, "Call Zhu Ran, Zhu Huan, and Pan Zhang."

Lu Lan was shocked: "General, do you want to cross the water to help?"

"It can be said that." Lu Xun waved his hand and signaled Lu Lan to do it immediately. Lu Lan did not dare to ask again. While thinking about Lu Xun's intention, he went to find Zhu Ran and the other two. It didn't take long, and Zhu Ran and the other two arrived one after another.

Lu Xun's big tent.

"Yifeng (Zhu Ran), you should prepare for warships immediately and prepare for crossing the waters. You two are ready to attack at any time."

Zhu Ran's eyes turned cold. Before he could say anything, Pan Zhang was already furious and shouted dissatisfied: "General, Wei Ba's son is so insulting my father and son, and he still wants me to save him?"

Zhu Ran also sneered: "General, I'm worried that they will attack us just like last time, just like the last time."

Lu Xun glanced around and said nothing. Zhu Ran and others subconsciously closed their mouths. The anger in their eyes was still there, but no one dared to refute.

"Everyone, this time, that time." Lu Xun said slowly: "The last time the Shu army was as powerful as a bamboo shoot, easily breaking the floating bridge, so that they had the strength to provoke our army. Now they fought with the Wei army for two days. Even if they win, they will still

There is a tragic victory, how can I attack you?"

Zhu Ran snorted and turned his head over. Pan Zhang's face turned pale, he held his arms, and looked like he ignored him.

"Wei and Shu both suffered losses, which is a good opportunity for our army to attack." Lu Xun lowered his face: "You three are all long-time generals who have been fighting on the battlefield for a long time. Why don't you even understand this? You are so arrogant that you are the generals who are willing to act as the general.

for?"

Zhu Ran raised his eyebrows and suddenly understood: "General, what do you mean is that no matter Wei and Shu, you may become the target of our attack?"

Lu Xun glanced at him and chuckled: "This possibility is not ruled out. However, at the moment, we should still regard the Wei army as our main target. If we severely damage the Wei army, our chances of seizing Xiangyang will increase greatly."

Zhu Ran suddenly realized and clapped his hands: "General, I am confused."

Zhu Huan raised his eyebrows and understood. Pan Zhang was still immersed in depression and disdained it. Lu Xun ignored him. He knew that as long as the order was issued, Pan Zhang would implement it no matter how reluctant he was. As Sun Quan

Pan Zhang's loyalty is impeccable as a general who has been promoted by one.

Lu Xun immediately made corresponding arrangements, and Zhu Ran's navy prepared for the luck army. Zhu Huan and Pan Zhang each led the headquarters, with a total of 10,000 people, ready to cross the Han River and participate in the battle at any time. Their goal was not to assist Shu.

The army, instead, encourage them to fight with the Wei army for a while and increase consumption. When the Shu army could not support it, the Wu army might take the opportunity to severely damage the Wei army. If necessary, they could also seize Fancheng.

Only by holding it in your own hands can you truly feel at ease for Wu.

Zhu Ran and others were overjoyed when they heard this. The original dissatisfaction disappeared and they each went to prepare separately. Lu Lan was happy and said in conscientiously: "General, you have a good method. I'll just say that Wei Ba's son must be not a general.

The opponent."

Although Lu Xun was serious, he was quite content. Wei Ba was determined to promote the exchange of troops between Wu and Wei, so as to attract the troops of Wei in the Xiangyang area and gain time for rest for Guanzhong. But how could he make Wei Ba pay so easily

What I wish. Now, although the Wu army surrounded Xiangyang, it did not launch a real attack. The Shu army had already suffered a defeat with the Wei army. It was clear who was the fisherman, and it was clear who was the winner and who was defeated.

"Wei Ba, can you still make a profit from it this time?" Lu Xun said with a smile to himself.

"Hahaha, he can still make profits. If he doesn't die on the battlefield, it's a blessing." Lu Lan laughed happily.

"If he really died on the battlefield, it would be a good result for me, Da Wu." Lu Xun smiled and shook his head: "But I don't think he will live that short. Although he is brave, he is not reckless.

People. In the central army, the possibility of death is very small. Alas, it is rare for such young people to have courage but not rely on them."
