"What's going on?" Xia Houmao walked out while covering his clothes.
Wei Ba provoked Lingling to tremble, and quickly turned around to report to Xiahou Mao. At the same time, he reported: "Guo Huai urgently reports that Zhuge Liang has sent troops to Qishan, Tianshui, and Nan'an counties have rebelled."
With a "pop" sound, the military report in Xiahou Mao's hand fell to the ground. At the same time, his clothes were opened, revealing two white legs. A mess of black hair and an ugly penis under his belly were clearly visible. He did not pay attention to himself.
* didn't reveal anything, but stared at Wei Ba and stammered: "What did you say...?"
"Zhuge Liang sent his troops out of Qishan, Tianshui, and Nan'an counties to rebel and respond."
Xia Houmao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said "Ah", and his face suddenly turned pale. Wei Ba carefully avoided Xia Houmao's legs, bent down to pick up the military newspaper, checked the mud seal on it, opened the bag and took it out
Military newspaper, I quickly browsed through it.
Xiahou Mao trembled and turned around twice. This panicked look attracted the soldiers in the distance, and they all looked this way. Wei Ba didn't care too much, and half helped and half dragged Xiahou Mao to the
In the inner room, he ordered someone to bring a piece of ice, wrap it in a cloth, and press it on Xiahou Mao's forehead.
Being aroused by the ice, Xia Houmao finally came to his senses. He took Wei Ba's hand and cried: "Ziyu, you were right. Zhuge Liang is not here."
Wei Ba nodded repeatedly, with a bit of bitterness in his mouth. He had said this to Xiahou Mao, but he really didn't want Zhuge Liang to leave Qishan. This was a trap for him, and he not only buried Xiahou Mao in it.
, burying the father and son of the Wei family. Needless to say, there is a high probability that the father is running wildly in Ziwu Valley with 10,000 elites, mainly the Wei family. He has no idea what kind of tragedy is waiting for him.
battle.
"Ziyu, what should we do?" Xiahou Mao was completely panicked and could only make Wei Ba cry.
"General, since Zhuge Liang's main force is in Qishan, the people in Baoxie Road can only be suspicious soldiers." Wei Ba suddenly woke up. This is a God-given opportunity. Zhuge Liang wants to trick me, but I can't trick him? Guo Huai doesn't know.
If no reinforcements come, and they still ask Xiahou Mao for reinforcements, then let Xiahou Mao send the reinforcements to Longyou, and let them and Zhuge Liang slug it out there. I will lead the master out of Baoxie Road here, and then occupy Guanzhong.
Xia Houmao nodded repeatedly.
"In this case, there is no need to leave ten thousand people to defend here. We can dispatch some cavalry to Longyou to support Governor Guo." Wei Ba said anxiously: "As long as Governor Guo can hold on and control the front to the west of Longshan
, then Guanzhong is still safe. The general can stand firm and wait for reinforcements. When the time comes, the general will defeat the strong with the weak, which will still be a great achievement."
Xiahou Mao was stunned for a while, and then he came back to his senses. He quickly put on his clothes and summoned the generals to discuss matters.
Wei Ba motioned to the young and beautiful soldier with a youthful face to quickly put on clothes and leave the cool inner room. Just as he was about to leave, Xia Houmao grabbed him: "Ziyu, don't leave."
Wei Ba shook his head in embarrassment: "General, you have to summon the generals to discuss matters. It's not convenient for me to stay here."
Xia Houmao said loudly: "If I ask you to stay, you will stay, and no one will say no?"
Wei Ba thought for a while, then cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, General."
It didn't take long for the generals to arrive. Xiahou Mao, dressed in military uniform and with a murderous look on his face, had someone read the military report to the generals, and finally said: "At the beginning, Wei Ba said that Zhuge Liang might send troops to Longyou, but Bao Xieyao only praised him.
All the princes refused to believe the suspected soldiers, and said that Wei Ba was a surrendered general with bad intentions. Now, do you know who is right and who is wrong?"
The generals lowered their heads and did not dare to refute. This situation was definitely beyond everyone's expectation. It was not normal for Zhuge Liang to send troops at this time, but with Bao Xiedao's suspicious soldiers there, everyone was already mentally prepared, so it was not difficult to accept it.
But Zhuge Liang was not on Baoxie Road, but on Longyou. This was something no one had thought of. Of all the people present, only Wei Ba had said this before, and none of them recognized Wei Ba's conjecture.
In fact, even Wei Ba himself was not sure that Zhuge Liang would do this. After all, this was just a previous plan. However, at this moment, Xiahou Mao believed that Wei Ba alone had made the accurate judgment, and who dared to say no?
?
"What do you think we should do now?" Xiahou Mao took back the military report, waved his hand, and said seriously: "Longyou is the land where the country raises horses, and there is no room for failure. Guo Huai only has 20,000 people, and now Tianshui and Nan'an are rebelling.
The situation is unclear, and it is difficult to ensure the safety of Longyou with his current strength alone. I have decided to send troops to support, which general is willing to volunteer?"
The generals looked at each other. There were only 10,000 people here, and at least half of them had to be left to guard against the Shu soldiers in Baoxie Road. Five thousand people rushed to Longyou, and including Guo Huai's men, it would be difficult to face Zhuge Liang's 80,000 army. This
Once you go, it’s a matter of whether you can perform meritorious service. If you can come back alive, you are lucky. Knowing that you are facing death, how many fearless people are willing to come forward?
Seeing that the usually more arrogant generals stopped talking, Xiahou Mao became even more angry. He cursed loudly: "In the past, all the kings had their sights set higher than their own. They always wanted to make achievements and expand territory. Some even proposed to attack Hanzhong.
Wipe down Shu. Now that Zhuge Liang has come to our door, you all have stopped talking?"
The generals were embarrassed and silent. After a while, Tian Fu, who was standing in the corner, stepped forward and clasped his fists: "General, Tian is not talented and is willing to go."
Xia Houmao glanced around and asked, "Is it true that among all of you, only Tian Duwei has eggs, and everyone else has become a woman?"
The generals were red-faced, but still refused to go out to ask for orders. Xiahou Mao was furious and personally ordered two generals and more than ten captains. "You go to Longyou to support Governor Guo, don't say anything.
,Those who disobey orders will be killed!"
The unlucky guy who was called had no choice but to answer loudly and turn around to go.
"The remaining people, except for the general's personal guard camp, all rushed to the entrance of Baoxie Road to form an array. The Shu army was not allowed to leave the valley." Xiahou Mao shouted sternly: "Anyone who escapes from the battle will be killed without mercy!"
The remaining people were overwhelmed by Xia Houmao's sudden power, and they all remained silent, not daring to have any opinions.
"Go away!" Xiahou Mao waved his hand and drove the generals out like flies.
The lobby became quiet again. Xia Houmao pulled open the collar of his shirt, reached out and picked up a piece of ice and stuffed it in. He was frightened just now and got angry again. He was already covered in sweat. With this ice, he felt
It has cooled down a bit, but my heart is still burning and anxious.
He thought for a long time: "Ziyu, I don't think five thousand people are enough."
Wei Ba pondered for a moment: "General, do you want to turn over the people from Chang'an?"
Xiahou Mao nodded.
Wei Ba shook his head: "I don't think it's appropriate. Chang'an also needs people to defend it. Moreover, Chang'an is the most densely populated place. If there are not enough troops, what should we do if someone takes advantage of it and causes trouble?"
"What should we do?" Xiahou Mao spread his hands and said, "With just these five thousand people, I'm worried that I won't be able to defend the Baoxie Road."
"There are nearly a thousand defenders at Tongguan. They can be transferred here."
"Tongguan?" Xiahou Mao hesitated.
"General, Zhuge Liang is at Longyou and Zhao Yun is at Baoxie Road. Guanzhong will be safe only by guarding these two places. If Guanzhong is lost, even if Tongguan is impregnable, what will happen?"
Xia Houmao thought about it and felt that Wei Ba's words were reasonable. Although Tongguan was dangerous, for the Wei State, it was a barrier in the interior. Unless the Shu army occupied the entire Guanzhong, Tongguan would be meaningful. Otherwise, no matter how well Tongguan was defended, it would be useless.
It has no practical effect.
"In this case, I will order the guards at Tongguan to be mobilized and ask them to come for reinforcements."
"The general is wise."
Xia Houmao then smiled and patted Wei Ba on the shoulder: "Wei Ziyu, after this battle, I don't think anyone will doubt you because you are a surrendered general. You work hard and help me repel Zhuge Liang. I
I will definitely recommend you to His Majesty."
"Thank you very much, General. I am willing to do my best for you."
"Hahaha..." Xiahou Mao looked up to the sky and laughed.
Although Xia Houmao already had enough trust in Wei Ba, he still did not let Wei Ba rush to Tongguan. He asked Wei Ba to stay by his side to protect his safety. Wei Ba couldn't ask for more, so he offered another plan to conquer the army.
The people who had just finished building the city and were preparing to go home for the autumn harvest, as well as those who participated in farming, helped defend the city. These people could not fight in the field, but they could defend the city. In this way, at least 10,000 troops could be added.
You can replace the troops defending the city and strengthen the troops in the field.
Xia Houmao was very satisfied and immediately arranged for someone to do it. He said regretfully: "It's just a pity that the autumn grain is about to be ripe, but there is no time to harvest it, so it can only be thrown in the field in vain."
Wei Ba comforted him: "There is nothing we can do about it. If we can't defend the Baoxie Road, even the entire Guanzhong will not belong to the general, let alone these grains."
Xia Houmao let out a long sigh, feeling very helpless. There was a big war in the southeast, and he was counting on these military rations to alleviate the court's food crisis, so as to make a contribution, but now it's better, it's all rotting in the ground.
"Ziyu, I regret a little." Xiahou Mao looked at Zhongnan Mountain in the south, which was about to rival the sky, and suddenly sighed: "I should have listened to you earlier. If I had listened to you earlier, I would have reminded Guo Huai and the others to be careful. Now
I won't be so nervous. I'm very worried that these reinforcements are far from enough, and they may not be able to catch up."
Wei Ba pondered for a moment: "That's not necessarily the case."
Xia Houmao looked at Wei Ba in surprise: "What do you mean..."
Wei Ba laughed helplessly: "General, although the Shu army is superior in strength, it does not have any cavalry. As far as I know, there are only more than a thousand cavalry that originally belonged to Ma Chao, and are now led by Ma Chao's younger brother Ma Dai.
In addition, the Shu Han did not have an organized cavalry. This is one; although the Shu Han has a large number of troops, they are mainly new soldiers with little actual combat experience. This is the second; Zhuge Liang is a scholar and has never had experience in commanding a large army.
, the most experienced in fighting are my father and my master. Now one of them has been demoted, and the other is serving as a suspect in Baoxie Road. Even Wu Yi, who has a little experience, has been left in Hanzhong. Zhuge Liang is surrounded by some scholars. This
It's the third one; with these three unfavorable factors, how can it be so easy for him to defeat Governor Guo?"
Xia Houmao pondered for a long time, breathed a long sigh of relief, and showed a relaxed smile. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
