Sun Quan slept very poorly this night and woke up from his dream several times...

Before going to bed, he knew the news that Sima Yi had left the city. It was because of this news that he could not fall asleep for a long time.

Li Yan conquered Wancheng in less than two days. Compared to this achievement, the Battle of Xiangyang, which once shocked him, was nothing. He and Hu Zong and Zhang Wen analyzed it for a long time, and realized that it was

A change in siege tactics will happen before them, and this will bring fundamental changes to future wars.

Although Pili Chariot is an ancient warrior, it has disappeared in history for a long time. Recently, it reappeared on the battlefield. Cao Cao used it to deal with Yuan Shao. Because the sound is like Pili, it is called Pili Chariot. It can be found in

Guandu and Yuan Shao have been confronted for so long, and Pili Che has made great contributions.

However, the Pili Car did not become the protagonist of the battlefield because of this battle. The reason is very simple. The Pili Car requires a lot of manpower to operate, and the shooting speed is slow, the accurate head is poor, and the movement is inconvenient.

The Pili Chariot truly shines and becomes the protagonist of the offensive and defensive battle in the city. It appears with the emergence of Wei Ba. The father and son rushed to Guanzhong, solved a series of technical problems, and used the Pili Chariot to win Chang'an.

He also used the Pili chariot to defend Tongguan, fully demonstrating the power of the Pili chariot, which prompted the Wei and Wu countries to pay attention to the Pili chariot technology.

The Wei State had Ma Jun, and the technology improvement of Pili Car was also very fast. The Wu State was a little slower, but after directly obtaining the drawings of Pili Car from Wei Ba, they came from behind and surpassed Wei State.

However, when he thought that the Wu State's Pili Car Technology was comparable to that of the Shu Han Army, he found that Wei Ba still had one hand: the production technology of stone bullets. Without sufficient supply of stone bullets, the power of the Pili Car was greatly limited.

, so he was determined to get the stone bullet production technology from Wei Ba to solve this last problem.

However, Wei Ba once again broke his optimism. Wei Ba fired more than a thousand thunderbolt cars together, pushing the siege tactics to a new level. Compared with this tactic, the almost magical pot bullets actually did not

Not the protagonist, this large-scale offensive is the biggest innovation.

As of now, only Wei Ba can complete such innovation. Whether it is the Thunderbolt car or the supply of large amounts of stone bullets, or the new ceramic bullets, this is based on Wei Ba's technology. Without Wei Ba's technology,

It is unlikely to imitate such a tactic.

Technology suddenly became Sun Quan's biggest weakness. Wei State had Ma Jun, but Wu State had only Zhang Fen, and Zhang Fen's technology was not a little bit worse than Wei Ba. It can be imagined that in the next

For a period of time, it was difficult for the Wu Kingdom to surpass Shu Han.

Sun Quan believes in the principle of the strong, and he will rely on whoever is strong. But he also has his own principle, that is, he cannot give up his existing interests, otherwise no matter who you are, he will fight to the end, just like when facing Cao Cao.

The army.

However, he really didn't want to be an enemy of Wei Ba at this time because he could not see any hope of victory.

The situation in front of you seems to be a little more tense than in the 13th year of Jian'an...

Sun Quan leaned on the pillow, sighing secretly, frowning.

"Father--" Sun Luban rushed in like the wind, rushed to the edge of the couch, held Sun Quan's hand, and smiled before he could speak.

"What's wrong?" Sun Quan looked at his daughter in surprise. Sun Luban was wearing armor and his hair was tied into a man's hair. In a trance, it seemed as if Sun Lu was standing in front of him again.

"Father, I captured Sima Yi's son Sima Zhao alive." Sun Luban giggled, his spirit was flying and his eyes were shiny.

"Is that true?" Sun Quan sat up and touched Sun Luban's face: "My daughter, it's really a bit horny. Well, the big tiger in my Sun family is no worse than the tiger girl in the Guan family, hahaha..."

Sun Luban's face turned red with excitement and his eyes narrowed into crescent moons.

"So, you won?"

"Great victory." Sun Luban waved his arms and danced: "We chased after us all night and captured many prisoners. We just counted it out, and there were more than 5,000 people. Including the others arrested, I estimate that at least more than 10,000 military funds.

There are countless equipment. Father, you know, there is still a lot of food in Yacheng. Sima Yi did not dare to set fire to the fire in order to escape."

Sun Quan smiled, his mouth a little bitter. Sima Yi was so embarrassed that it was really unimaginable. Of course, the one I could not have imagined was Sima Yi. Before that, I'm afraid no one would have thought that this battle would be like this.

The result.

Unfortunately, the winner is not himself. Fortunately, the loser is not himself.

"Oh, by the way, Li Yan wants to meet with his father, please ask me to discuss the location process with him. Father, they won, and can help you fight Kunyang. As long as Wei Ba pulls those thunderbolt cars together

In the past, whether it was Kunyang or Luoyang, they all took down one after another."

Sun Quan couldn't help laughing, thinking that it was not so easy. Kunyang might be possible, but Luoyang didn't even think about it. How much manpower and material resources would be spent on transporting so many thunder trucks to Luoyang?

The Wu Kingdom cannot support this war at present.

Sun Quan immediately stood up, asked someone to attract Zhang Wen, and sent him to discuss related matters with Li Yan.

...

Li Yan was in a good mood, Meng Da and others were also smiling happily, chatting and laughing around Li Yan. It took only two days and nights to conquer Wancheng, and defeat Sima Yi and fled in panic, captured tens of thousands of prisoners, and seized a lot of food.

, The problem of military rations has been temporarily solved.

This is a hearty victory.

The mission of the Northern Expedition has been successfully completed. Li Yan immediately wrote a good news to the emperor in Chengdu, striving to present a great gift to the emperor in the New Year. Everyone here has made contributions, and it is not necessary to say that they will be promoted to the emperor. New Year's Eve

As we approached, with this great victory, everyone's heart was full of joy and smiles. Even Deng Zhi and Ma Su were smiling. It can be seen that they were very satisfied with the results of this battle.

Li Yan looked at everyone's faces and felt secretly proud. He had made great achievements and it was time to go back to Chengdu next. Helping Wu to capture Kunyang was not his main task, and he could not go into battle himself. How could a dignified general of the cavalry be able to

To play a striker for the King of Wu? Sending a deputy general is enough.

The key is who to send.

Meng Da made great contributions, but was still not satisfied. He greeted him in advance yesterday, hoping that he could arrange this task for him. Li Yan knew that Meng Da wanted to deal with the people of Wu and it would be more convenient to guard Wancheng in the future.

Before, he had come and go with the people of Wu. When Sima Yi attacked Fangling, he asked Lu Xun for help. Now, he is of course even more like a fish in water in the Han-Wu alliance.

However, Li Yan did not intend to give this task to Meng Da. It was not that he did not trust Meng Da - he believed that Meng Da would listen to him. Because of this, he did not want Meng Da to make this contribution. Meng Da already had enough

Thanks, this promotion was expected and could help him, not less than Kunyang's merit. Besides, it may not be a good thing if he got too close to the Wu people.

Ma Su and Deng Zhi also want this task, of course the purpose is very simple. Who doesn’t want to make another contribution?

But Li Yan didn't plan to give them, he wanted to give this task to Wei Ba. There were plenty of reasons. Apart from him and Meng Da, Wei Ba had the highest military position and his prestige was unmatched.

If you come to command the battle, no one will complain.

In addition to the reasons for the official position, Li Yan also had other intentions. He knew very well the purpose of Wei Ba in helping him achieve meritorious service. Similarly, he was unwilling to let Wei Ba hide behind him and let him face Zhuge Liang's counterattack alone.

It is better to pull Wei Ba together than to fight alone. After fighting with Zhuge Liang for so many years, Li Yan is very clear about Zhuge Liang's methods.

Therefore, Li Yan never let go of his words in the face of the warm gazes of Meng Da, Ma Su and others.

However, Wei Ba has never come. Zhang Wen is almost here, and he has not seen Wei Ba's shadow.

Li Yan was a little unhappy and said to Wei Feng: "Zirou, what are Ziyu busy with? We are still waiting for him to discuss matters. Let him put what he has to do in advance. It will not be too late to be busy after he finishes his business."

Wei Feng heard Li Yan's voiceover and responded quickly. Just as he was about to leave the account, Fei Yi accompanied Zhang Wen in, and he stopped Wei Feng.

"Zirou, you don't have to go."

Wei Feng looked at him blankly, Li Yan was also a little surprised and lowered his face: "Wenwei, why didn't Wei Ziyu come to discuss matters?"

Fei Yi smiled bitterly: "General, don't wait for him. He won't come."

"Why?" Li Yan was annoyed. Isn't this not giving me face?

Fei Yi walked up to Li Yan, explained in a low voice, and said, "General, General Zhennan's self-important letter was sent out in the morning, so he will not participate in the matter here. He said that he was going to take his personal guards with him.

The soldiers of the Wei family and the Wu soldiers returned to Linyuan. Before the decree of the decree, they would gather with their families and ask the general to be tolerant."

Li Yan was stunned and then understood. He looked at Fei Yi, his eyes twitched, and he deliberately laughed and scolded: "This little guy is really good at making tricks. Has he played tricks on the prime minister? I want to see him

How to pass the test again?”

Fei Yi smiled helplessly. He knew that Li Yan must be very disappointed now, and his hope of dragging Wei Ba into the water was dashed. From Fei Yi's perspective, he definitely didn't want Wei Ba and Li Yan to get too close.

Wei Ba wanted to stay away and keep a distance from Li Yan, so of course he agreed with both hands.

Li Yan didn't say anything else, and called Zhang Wen to sit down, saying vaguely that Wei Ba had something to do temporarily and could not participate in the meeting. Meng Da and others were a little surprised when they heard this, but did not ask much.

Wei Ba hid and did not show up, so Li Yan had to re-select generals. After a simple consultation, he made a decision. The guardian Chen Dao was the main general, Ma Su and Deng Zhi were the deputy, leading Wei Feng, Zhang Wei and other generals and 30,000.

The army and a large number of armies supported the Wu army to attack Kunyang. Meng Da led a 10,000 army to station in Wancheng. Zong Yu was the deputy. He led the imperial guards back to Chengdu and offered prisoners to the emperor.

...

Meixi, Wei Ba walked onto the warship, and Wei Wu hung his head and followed behind.

"Why, don't you want to go with me?"

"Brother, we'll leave before the battle is over here, right?"

"The next battle cannot be solved with a knife." Wei Ba raised his hand and put it on Wei Wu's shoulder: "Zi Lie, don't be anxious, when you are tired of fighting in the future."

"That's impossible." Wei Wu grinned and laughed: "Brother, why don't we go to conquer the Southern Barbarians?"
