Although Wei Ba was under house arrest, he did not feel depressed at all. On the contrary, he seemed very relaxed, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders, and there was a little more smile on his face.
This smile made Xia Houhui's frustration even stronger.
After galloping for a day and having a verbal duel with Wei Ba, Xia Houhui was very tired. She wanted to take a bath, eat something, and go to bed early. But after she took a bath, she wore a light silk dress.
When she opened the window and heard Wei Ba's hearty laughter, she couldn't help but put on a coat and walked out of the room.
The place where Wei Ba was under house arrest was very close to where she lived, with only a few rooms separated. Wei Ba was sitting on an empty high platform, ignoring the more than ten soldiers who were watching him, leisurely and contentedly.
Tasting wine and admiring the moon. There were many fruits and melons on the table in front of him, as well as a large ice basin. It can be imagined that although Xiahou Mao put him under house arrest, he still valued him and gave him extremely high treatment.
Wei Ba also saw Xia Houhui. He raised his glass, gestured towards Xiahou Hui, and laughed loudly: "Miss Xiahou, I am an idler now, and I am no threat to the girl. I raised my glass to invite the bright moon, and the shadows became three of us.
It's so lonely, can you, girl, come and have a drink with me?"
Xia Houhui hesitated for a moment. Although there was no rule in this era that men and women could not sit together, she was a girl who had not left the court after all. It seemed inappropriate to drink together with a young man who had just fought with each other.
But she felt a little unwilling, and wanted to take the opportunity to compete with Wei Ba again. There was a good opportunity in front of her, and she couldn't bear to let it go. And among the few words Wei Ba just said, "Raise your glass to the bright moon, right?"
The ten words "Shadows become three people" may seem ordinary, but they have their own meaning, which makes her a little moved.
"Wei Jun, please allow me to change my clothes. I will come and have a drink with Wei Ba later."
"It's okay, miss, please help yourself, I have plenty of time." Wei Ba said, motioning for someone to bring a desk table. After a while, Xia Houhui put on a set of regular clothes, walked out of the room, and
Wei Ba sat down on the prepared table, picked up the fruit from the ice bowl and took a bite. A cool feeling immediately drove away the heat in his heart, and his originally panicked heart slowly calmed down.
"Wei Jun, please!" She raised her glass and invited: "There is no need to invite Mingyue now."
Wei Ba laughed, raised his glass, and drank it all in one gulp. "The girl has a delicate heart."
Xia Houhui took a shallow sip, put down the cup, picked up another piece of fruit, took a small bite, and chewed slowly. She looked at Wei Ba who was at ease and at ease, and suddenly smiled and said: "I made Wei Jun lose his freedom.
,Don’t Wei Jun hate me?”
Wei Ba glanced at her and shook his head: "I don't hate it. Although it's a bit reckless for you to do this, it's excusable. If it were me, I would do the same thing. Of course, I might do it better than you.
Be more violent. Instead of boiling down the boil, it's better to draw fuel from the bottom of the cauldron. I'm already very grateful that the girl didn't let the general kill me."
Xia Houhui sighed secretly, why didn't she want Xia Houmao to arrest Wei Ba and torture him to find out the truth, instead of putting him under house arrest like this? It's a pity that Xia Houmao doesn't believe her at all now.
"But, after all, I made Wei Jun lose the opportunity to make achievements."
"Otherwise." Wei Ba pretended not to understand the other meaning of Xia Houhui's words and waved his sleeves coolly. "I never thought about wealth, let alone being an enemy of my master. The reason why I advise the general is
, I just feel the general's great love. Now the girl's words have saved me from the dilemma of having to confront my master. I am actually very grateful to the girl."
"Wei Jun is really a kind man. No wonder he will not blame Miss Peng for harming you."
Hearing Peng Xiaoyu's name, Wei Ba frowned slightly and was silent for a long time. "Is Xiaoyu's injury serious? Is his life in danger?"
Xia Houhui didn't answer immediately. In order to get the answer from Peng Xiaoyu, she ordered a severe punishment. Peng Xiaoyu only had half a life left, but she didn't say a word that was unfavorable to Wei Ba. But she didn't want Wei Ba to know this.
, she curled her lips: "Miss Peng is really lucky. She betrayed you twice, but you still care about her life and death."
"No, she didn't betray me." Wei Ba interrupted Xia Houhui: "That time in Hanzhong, she didn't know what her brother had planned. It was her brother who said that my piece of jade was her family heirloom.
, so I took the jade and showed it to him. As for this time, I can be sure that even if she said something, she would be beaten into submission."
He sighed: "I originally wanted to protect her, but now it seems that I have harmed her. If I had known this, it would have been better for her to go to Wancheng with his brother."
Xia Houhui raised his eyebrows: "Are you so sure?"
Wei Ba smiled sadly: "I'm sure. Because I didn't pretend to surrender, how could she betray me? You thought you got the real news, but in fact it was just a lie. I can understand that if it were me who was beaten, I wouldn't
I will talk nonsense, and I will say whatever you want to hear. This kind of thing is not new, it happens almost every day."
He raised his head and looked straight at Xiahou Hui, with anger looming in his eyes: "Miss Xiahou, you are hurting an innocent person for your own selfishness, and you will be punished for this."
Xia Houhui was speechless. She didn't know whether she should lament Wei Ba's trust and concern for Peng Xiaoyu, or whether she should be ashamed of what she had done. She could see from Wei Ba's expression that Wei Ba really cared about Peng Xiaoyu.
Peng Xiaoyu didn't have any resentment, only pity. But she didn't know that the reason why Wei Ba was so sure was because he knew that Peng Xiaoyu didn't know about his fake surrender. Only Dunwu knew about this matter, and he had never known it.
He mentioned a word to Peng Xiaoyu. The more certain Xia Houhui said it, the more it showed that there was fraud in it.
If he knew that Peng Xiaoyu had guessed something, he probably wouldn't be so sure.
"Don't think you won." Xia Houhui lowered her head, not wanting Wei Ba to see her wet eyes. She paused to regain her composure, and then continued: "I still believe that you are faking a surrender, although my uncle doesn't believe it.
, but if you are put under house arrest, I believe your plan will not be implemented."
Wei Ba pouted: "I would like to hear the girl's opinion. If I pretend to surrender, how can I support the Shu army?"
Xia Houmao frowned slightly. She had always suspected that Wei Ba was faking his surrender, but it was just a feeling. She didn't have any evidence. Sometimes she couldn't tell whether her suspicion of Wei Ba was based on intuition or out of instinct.
Jealousy - as Wei Ba said, he wanted to vent his anger on Master Sima.
But she had never thought about what specific methods Wei Ba would use besides approaching Xiahou Mao if he really pretended to surrender. Now that Wei Ba asked about it, she had to calm down and carefully figure out Wei Ba's possible plan. After all, he was close.
Xiahou Mao, there is little meaning in pretending to surrender by assassinating Xiahou Mao. In the end, it has to be implemented into military operations to make sense.
She pondered for a long time: "I think the main force of you should go out of Longyou, and other troops should go out of Guanzhong to capture Chang'an and Tongguan to block the reinforcements."
"Who will execute it?" Wei Ba asked calmly. What he said now was actually hindsight. With Xia Houhui's intelligence, it was not surprising that he could guess this. He just wanted to know if Xia Houhui would have thought of it.
That strange army in Ziwu Valley.
"Zhuge Liang's main force is on the right side of Longyou. There should be 10,000 to 20,000 suspected soldiers in Baoxie Road, and another 10,000 to 20,000 people are left to guard Hanzhong. The troops seem to have been exhausted." Xia Houhui said unhurriedly, while talking,
Looking at Wei Ba's expression, the corner of Wei Ba's mouth was slightly raised, as if he was a little disdainful, which made her a little angry. She felt that Wei Ba was contemptuous of her, and she became more and more immersed in her thoughts. "Since you are pretending to surrender, then your father...
"
Xia Houhui suddenly shuddered and her eyes became sharp. She straightened up subconsciously and blurted out: "Your father led a strange army out of Ziwu Valley and attacked Chang'an?"
Wei Ba shook his head and sighed, but Xia Houhui became more and more frightened as she thought about it. She almost stood up and rushed out to tell Xia Houmao about this very dangerous possibility. But seeing Wei Ba's contemptuous look, she
I became less confident and made myself sit still.
"Girl, you are calling a suspect for stealing an axe." Wei Ba raised his cup and pointed at Xia Houhui. "You have this idea because you believe that I am falsely surrendering, but I am not falsely surrendering, and naturally my father will not
Why did he lead a strange army? He was left out of Hanzhong by Zhuge Liang and lost his military power. Well, even if you guessed it right, my father led a strange army out of Ziwu Valley. Then you go and ask the general, can Ziwu Valley be left?"
Xiahou Hui suddenly felt a little startled. Ziwu Valley had been in disrepair for many years and could not pass through the army. This had been confirmed by many people. Jin Dongliu said so, Xiahou Mao sent out so said, and Tian Fu who followed Wei Ba to Ziwu Pass said so.
, Xu Ran also said. In this way, Ziwu Valley is not suitable for marching at all, and the most important part of her conjecture has become a whim. This does not make sense, and all other conjectures collapsed.
This is probably the reason why Wei Ba is not nervous at all, because this is impossible to happen, it is just her wild guess.
Or, Wei Yan would have taken another route? Out of Xiangyang and towards Wancheng? Xia Houhui thought hard and couldn't figure it out.
Wei Ba sneered and said nothing, like Jiang Taigong fishing.
…
At the same time, five miles west of Ziwu Pass, Fengshui rushed out of Nanshan Mountain, towards the Wei River, and towards Chang'an.
Wei Yan was wearing a helmet and carrying a bag of dry food on his back, but he was walking as fast as flying. He jumped off the boat. It didn't look like he had been walking on the Ziwu Valley for more than ten days. Behind him, countless soldiers filed in.
After getting off the boat, everyone was fully armed and had grain bags slung across their bodies. The queue was very long, like a long dragon sticking its head out of the mountains. I don’t know how long it was.
Chen Xiang saw Wei Yan's tall figure, hurried up and bowed to pay homage.
Wei Yan glanced at him by the light of the torch and asked anxiously: "Xingrui, where is Ziyu? Is he safe?"
Chen Xiang bowed and said: "Young Master's army is safe, but others are in Xiwu and want to help General Zhao get out of the valley." Chen Xiang briefly explained the situation and finally said: "The defenders of Tongguan have been mobilized, Young Master
I hope the general can seize Tongguan immediately, and then use the prepared materials to strengthen the city defense and prepare to hold on. Once Cao Wei learns that our troops have left the pass, they will soon send heavy troops to seize the pass. Whether Tongguan can be defended will affect the entire war situation.
.”
"What does he have to say?" Wei Yan dismissed it. He thought for a moment and then said to Chen Xiang: "Can you still see Ziyu?"
"Yes! General, do you want to see the young master?"
"No, I want you to inform him to leave Xiwu and assist General Zhao when he comes out of the valley. I will handle it. Since Tongguan has become an empty city, I will go to Xiwu first to defeat the five thousand Wei troops and assist General Zhao when he leaves the valley. Then rush to Tongguan, there is more than enough time." Wei Yan waved his hand: "But before that, I want Ziyu to be safe and sound. Can you do it?"
