Wei Ba led the cavalry to gallop. Three days later, they arrived at Longguan and saw Zhao Guang. Although he had the help of stirrups, he still suffered a lot from running for several days. The skin and flesh on the inner thighs were worn out and there was blood.
It was dripping and looked miserable, and he had to be supported even when walking.
Zhao Guang personally supported him into the inner city.
Wei Ba sat down with a grin on his face. His movements pulled at the wound, causing him to gasp in pain. Zhao Guang looked at it with both distress and amusement: "Why are you in such a hurry? If something happens, I won't even have time to send out a beacon?"
"
Wei Ba smiled bitterly and shook his head. There is a beacon fire system in Guanzhong. If there is a change in Longshan, the beacon fire can spread to Chang'an overnight. It is the fastest information highway at this time, faster than the six hundred miles express.
"If I don't come, do I have to ask the master himself to come here in person? The master has something to do, and the disciple has to do his job, so I have no choice but to hold on."
Zhao Guang's face froze, and he looked a little unnatural: "My father... asked you to come?"
Wei Ba slowly sat up against the table and straightened his legs. Seeing Zhao Guang like this, he nodded and said: "Not only your father, but also my father, and of course, Uncle Deng."
When General Miao and Zhang He arrived at Longyou, they were very worried."
Zhao Guang said oh, and then he became more natural. Zhao Yun trained cavalry for Wei Ba, which happened after he left Chang'an, but he knew. As soon as he saw these cavalry coming with Wei Ba, he estimated that Wei Ba would
All the cavalry were brought. There are no horses in Guanzhong. Wei Ba's ability to organize more than 2,000 cavalry in such a long period of time is already the limit. It is impossible for him to have such a large number of cavalry in addition to the two thousand cavalry organized by Zhao Yun.
Cavalry Battalion.
He originally thought that it was Wei Ba who came over on his own initiative, but now when he heard that it was Zhao Yun who was coming to support Long You, a stone fell to the ground in his heart, and another one rose up.
If Zhao Yun wanted to support Longyou, wouldn't he have broken the tacit understanding with Wei Ba? Now I heard that Wei Yan was the same, and so was Deng Zhi. Although Wei Ba was a little helpless, he didn't have any anger, so he felt a little more at ease.
"Ziyu, then you brought these cavalry here to support the prime minister?" Zhao Guang asked tentatively.
"How can these new soldiers support the Prime Minister?" Wei Ba chuckled and pointed at his nose: "Actually, the only one who really comes to support the Prime Minister is me. They are all protecting me."
Zhao Guang rolled his eyes, pretending to be puzzled and smiled: "Ziyu, I know you are brave, but can you solve the situation in Longyou alone?"
"Of course not." Wei Ba slowly put away his smile, feeling a little sad. "What use can I do alone? I represent the entire Guanzhong."
Zhao Guang remained silent. He understood what Wei Ba meant. No matter how powerful Zhang He was, as long as Zhuge Liang was willing to retreat to Guanzhong, Zhang He would have no way to defeat the Shu army in the short term. After Zhuge Liang retreated to Guanzhong, he would not only be able to take advantage of the danger, but also
By using the fields in Guanzhong to farm and fight, they will have enough troops to defend the passes. Even if Cao Wei has millions of soldiers, it will probably take a lot of effort to break through the passes. In this way, the troops in Guanzhong will be relieved.
The dilemma of inadequacy.
It can be said that two evils are combined into one benefit, and the Shu Han can firmly occupy Guanzhong.
But in this case, Wei Ba's original plan to dominate Guanzhong would be ruined. If Zhuge Liang enters Guanzhong, he will have to take a back seat and will no longer be able to do whatever he wants like some time ago.
Zhuge Liang's entry into Guanzhong was a great victory for the entire Shu Han Dynasty. For Wei Ba, it was a setback. Of course, this cannot be said to be a complete failure. With Wei Ba's current strength alone, he would have to
It is not easy to defend Guanzhong. The unanimous opinions of his father Wei Yan, his own father Zhao Yun, and the central supervisor Deng Zhi are enough to prove that Wei Ba does not yet have the foundation to dominate Guanzhong.
On this basis, Wei Ba took the initiative to give in and came to Longyou in person to ask Zhuge Liang to move to Guanzhong, which was also a wise decision.
However, Zhao Guang knew that Wei Ba must feel uncomfortable. He wanted to persuade Wei Ba, but he didn't know where to start. As a member of the Shu Han Army, he certainly hoped that Wei Ba and Zhuge Liang could maintain a good cooperative relationship, but
As a close friend, from Wei Ba's perspective, it is obviously not a very happy thing for him to bow to Zhuge Liang after being treated as an abandoned son. No matter how Wei Ba has an overall view, after all, he is still a weakling.
young people.
"Ziyu, no matter what, you will be the first contributor to this Northern Expedition."
Wei Ba smiled and did not answer Zhao Guang's words. He was very grateful to Zhao Guang for his comfort, but he was not as disappointed as Zhao Guang imagined. It was not entirely a bad thing to invite Zhuge Liang into Guanzhong. The temporary grievance might be
Yes, in the long run, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. If Zhuge Liang's main force loses too much, he will not be able to defend Guanzhong.
"Zhongde, is there any news from Longyou?"
"No." When talking about the war, Zhao Guang was also a little puzzled. "About ten days ago, Zhang He went south along the Changli River and went straight to Shanggui. I originally thought that he would fight the prime minister in Shanggui and solve the problem first.
The siege of Guo Huai. But these days have passed, and there has been no news. It is so quiet that it is suspicious."
"A strong attack on Shanggui?" Wei Ba shook his head and said without hesitation: "Of course not."
"If we don't attack Gu, what can we do?" Zhao Guang asked in surprise.
Wei Ba looked at Zhao Guang and sighed secretly. No wonder Zhao Yun said that although his two sons were not bad, they were not good enough. Judging from Zhao Guang's character, they inherited Zhao Yun's composure, but they did not have Zhao Yun's composure.
He is keen. He is more stable and less alert. Such a person can maintain success, but cannot develop.
"Zhang He is a cavalryman. The strength of the cavalry is that it is fast, erratic, and can move away with one strike. To fight against the prime minister at Shanggui, wouldn't it mean sacrificing one's strengths and exploiting one's weaknesses? Zhang He uses troops with dexterity and change. He is not
He would do something stupid like this."
Zhao Guang thought for a while and laughed dumbly: "Then what will he do?"
"Of course he is looking for opportunities to fight while in motion." Wei Ba scratched his head: "I still don't know what Zhang He will do, but I think he will keep moving so that you can't find him at all. And the Prime Minister is a human being.
Be careful, he probably won't use infantry to chase the cavalry and let Zhang He lead him by the nose. If there is a chance, maybe Ma Su can give Zhang He some opportunities."
"You mean, Zhang He will ambush Ma Di?"
"It's possible." Wei Ba sighed: "I still haven't figured out why the prime minister didn't conquer Shanggui and sent Ma Su to attack Yuzhong first? The troops were divided into two groups, thousands of miles apart. This is a big violation of military strategy.
It's common sense. If they joined forces and attacked Shanggui, how could they end up in this situation?"
Zhao Guang did not say anything. No one thought this was a problem at first. After all, after the fall of Guanzhong, the Wei army's strength in Longyou was Guo Huai of Shanggui and Hao Zhao of Yuzhong. Zhuge Liang and Ma Di both had absolute advantages, which was enough.
Trapping them to death. Trapping them in the city is better than letting them attack everywhere. There is nothing wrong with Zhuge Liang's idea. The mistake is that he did not expect that he would not be able to break the city after being trapped for several months, but he waited.
Zhang He's supporting troops.
Zhang He's arrival of reinforcements was of course an accident and no one expected it. However, as the general in charge of the army, Zhuge Liang did not make due preparations for this and was so passive now that he must bear the main responsibility.
It's just that it's useless to say this now.
"The matter has come to this, and it is useless to say more. Ziyu, what should we do now?"
Wei Ba touched his knees, tilted his head and glanced at Zhao Guang: "I originally wanted to rush to Shanggui immediately. But looking at these two legs, I probably won't be able to move for a while. Let's wait and see, maybe
, the situation is not as bad as we thought. Although Zhang He is powerful, after all, there are only ten thousand people, and he is attacking for a long distance. His own situation is also very dangerous. Even if the cloud is used strangely, it should be corrected. The prime minister is so cautious, there may not be many flaws.
It will fall into his hands. Both sides have their own strengths and weaknesses, and it is not yet known who will win."
"Then we just watch?" Zhao Guang was very surprised: "Is this enough?"
"I don't know if it's enough. But I know that before the outcome is decided, the Prime Minister may not be willing to give up Longyou and retreat to Guanzhong." He chuckled twice and did not continue. Zhao Guang pondered for a moment and understood.
He understood Wei Ba's intention and nodded in agreement. Wei Ba is now willing to bow his head and let Zhuge Liang enter Guanzhong, but whether Zhuge Liang himself is willing to enter Guanzhong is not Wei Ba's decision.
When the outcome is uncertain, who can guarantee that Zhuge Liang will not be able to defeat Zhang He? No one dares to say that there is no exhaustive plan on the battlefield. After all, Zhang He came all the way, which is strange, but the risk is not small. If he is on the battlefield,
If he cannot catch Zhuge Liang's flaws in a short period of time, the difficulties he faces may not be smaller than Zhuge Liang's.
From Zhuge Liang's point of view, this may be his great opportunity to fight. At this time, Wei Ba ran over and said, Prime Minister, come to Guanzhong. Not only will Zhuge Liang not see his affection, I am afraid he will also doubt his IQ.
From Wei Ba's point of view, if Zhuge Liang wins, it is certainly not bad. If he really loses, the loss will certainly not be small, but as long as he is rescued in time, it will not be unbearable. The biggest loss is in fighting with cold weapons.
It is not death in battle, but losses and casualties in defeat. As long as the morale of the army can be stabilized in time, the defeated troops can be gathered, and the wounded can be treated, the losses can be reduced to an even lower level. With Zhang He's current strength, even if he wins the battle, the loss will be
It's not that small. It's simply unrealistic to eat all of Zhuge Liang's tens of thousands of troops. It would obviously be better for him to come out to clean up the mess after they both lose, than to come out now.
History has changed. Zhuge Liang, who has been cautious all his life, led the Northern Expedition for the first time. He met Zhang He, a famous general who had experienced hundreds of battles and was famous for his cunning. Can he win the final victory and lay the foundation for his generation of famous generals? Wei Ba is very
Curious, he stayed at Longguan and sent a large number of scouts to inquire about information in the direction of Shanggui.
Wei Ba didn't know yet that while he was waiting to see the two famous generals fighting each other, Zhang He had already raided Mumen's food and grass, seized the initiative on the battlefield, and was preparing to use the food and grass as bait to lure Zhuge Liang.
Depart Shanggui.
