Wu Yi and Meng Da were also dissatisfied with Lu Xun's approach. Wasn't this intentional provocation?
Zhang Wen was very embarrassed and quickly explained that this was not the meaning of the general of the auxiliary country alone. The joint combat between the two sides was a matter of cooperation. Cooperation was a must-be considered. On the Wu side, the King of Wu authorized the auxiliary country to preside over the war. On the Shu Han side, he was originally
It should be the Prime Minister who came to command it, but he is not here now, so the General of the Fuguo Kingdom hopes to meet with Wei Ba of the Prime Minister's Office. As for the two generals Wu and Meng, you are all elders, and the General of the Fuguo Kingdom dare not take care of you to travel far.
, So after thinking about it, the only one who is suitable for Wei Zongjun was the one who joined the army.
After hearing this, Wu Yi and Meng Da reluctantly accepted Zhang Wen's explanation.
After sorting out the etiquette, everyone discussed and accepted Lu Xun's suggestion. Wei Ba, as a representative of Shu Han, went to interview Lu Xun. For safety reasons, the meeting location was set up in Anqiao Pass. In this way, Wei Ba went out during the day
For discussion, you can go back to Anqiaosai to stay in the evening.
The military situation was urgent and it was not appropriate to be fully informed. Wei Ba immediately stood up. As the representative of the negotiations between Shu Han, Fei Yi walked with Wei Ba. He got up early in the morning and that night, they arrived at Anqiaosai. Li Fu, the guard of Anqiaosai, was enthusiastic.
Welcoming them, a sumptuous banquet was set up to welcome them. The next morning, Zhang Wen continued to rush to Xiling to report to Lu Xun about the requirements of Shu Han. Fei Yi also went with him, and Wei Ba stayed in Anqiaoshu. At this moment
Although he really wanted to see Lu Xun, a famous celebrity in the second half of the Three Kingdoms, as a representative of Shu Han, he cannot easily appear, otherwise he will be at a disadvantage.
What made him even more worried was the words Fei Yi reminded him on the road. Lu Xun was the main general who defeated Liu Bei in the Battle of Yiling, and the memory left to the Shu Han people was too painful. After Zhuge Liang took office, he insisted on the Dongwu for the sake of the overall situation.
Restoring allies' relationship also withstood a lot of pressure. This time, we have to join forces with Dongwu again, and the main general is Lu Xun. It is conceivable how much trust the two sides can have.
On the other hand, Lu Xun was born in the Lu family in Wujun. The Lu family is a family that has been passed down for more than a hundred years. Lu Xun himself admires Confucianism and respects the way of etiquette and righteousness. Now he loves Sun Quan deeply and trusts him. Sun Quan specially carves a seal on it.
In Lu Xun's hand, the letters sent by Sun Quan to Zhuge Liang will be sent to Lu Xun first. If there is any problem, Lu Xun can modify them directly and then use the seal on his own, without informing Sun Quan again. Such an identity and status are enough to make Lu Xun look down on anyone.
Even a general like Pan Zhang dared not be disrespectful to Lu Xun. Shu Han’s request to change the meeting in Anqiaosai was a big question whether Lu Xun could accept it.
As the general of the auxiliary country, Lu Xun was willing to discuss war with a mere prime minister Wei Ba. This was already very shameful. Now he had to come to him with condescending respect. Fei Yi asked himself that he did not have such confidence.
Wei Ba did not. He admired Lu Xun, but his understanding was limited. He was with Fu Xing, Feng Jin and others recently, and he heard a lot of things that were not good for Lu Xun. But Fu Xing and others were on the stance of
Of course, they wouldn't say anything good to Lu Xun. After hearing Fei Yi's worries, he was also a little uneasy.
In this era, the difference between aristocratic families and ordinary people is tantamount to the difference between a wealthy family and a working class. The pride of aristocratic families is born with, and even if it is repeatedly destroyed, it still remains the same as before. Lu Xun has such a family background, and there is no more
With such a status, you can imagine the pride in his heart.
While waiting in Anqiaosai, Wei Ba was making careful preparations before the negotiations. In his spare time, he chatted with Li Fu for a few words, and they talked about Lu Xun. Unexpectedly, from Li Fu's mouth, Wei Ba heard the truth.
Different evaluations.
Li Fu disagreed with Lu Xun. What kind of war did he know? In the Battle of Yiling, it was not because he fought well, but because the late emperor was not good. Lu Xun has today's status, it was not because of his strong ability, but because of his family background.
It also has a lot to do with him marrying Sun Ce's daughter as his wife.
Speaking of this, Li Fu spit out a spit, and then said that there were no less than a hundred people in the Lu family who died at Sun Ce's hands. Lu Xun actually married Sun Ce's daughter as his wife for his future. This is a kind of integrity.
Even you won't do anything. What's the reason for such a person to be respected? Wei Chanjun, don't blame me for being too polite. If you give in to Lu Xun, I promise that many people will look down on you.
Li Fu's words made Wei Ba more careful. Although he did not believe that Lu Xun was flattering his enemies for his personal glory and wealth, he would not admire Lu Xun as before. Historical figures are often covered with a layer of sage
The light made them more like myths and saints than normal people. This is like Zhuge Liang, and Lu Xun probably wouldn't be too far away.
In the Three Kingdoms, except for the emperor, only two ministers were separate biographies, one was Zhuge Liang and the other was Lu Xun.
Fei Yi's concern was not redundant. Two days later, Lu Xun's representative Lu Lan came to Anqiaosai. Lu Lan is the clan of Lu Xun, a handsome Confucian scholar, about thirties, and looks elegant.
The gentle smile has a hint of pride and reserve unique to the aristocratic family.
"The general of the auxiliary country is busy with military affairs and cannot come to Anqiaosai. I specially sent me to join the army and go to Xiling to gather." Seeing Wei Ba, Lu Lan smiled and said with a smile: "Please don't worry, join the army, your safety is
There will definitely be no problem, this can be included in the general of the auxiliary country.”
Wei Ba frowned, thinking that the scholar's words were really silly. I didn't go to Xiling, was it because I was afraid of death?
"I believe you have this ability in this regard. However, if the general of the auxiliary country is worried that it is unsafe to enter the Anqiao Pass, I can guarantee it." Wei Ba retorted with a smile.
"Hahaha..." Lu Lan smiled gently. "Since that's the case, please join the army and follow me. The military situation is urgent, so we don't delay any more."
"No hurry." Wei Ba also calmly refused. "Since the General of the Supplementary State is busy, it should not be meaningful for me to go now."
Lu Lan looked at Wei Ba in confusion. Although she still had a smile on her face, she smiled without any sincerity.
"If I guess well, what the General of the Fuguo Kingdom is most worried about now is that he is behind the warship, right?" Wei Ba seemed more and more peaceful: "This technological transformation is unhurried."
Lu Lan's eyes twitched for a moment, and after a while, he returned to normal again. He smiled and shook his head: "Wei joined the army and thought too much. Although the Wei army has built some new warships, I, Dawu, have enough to deal with water wars.
The advantage of the general of the auxiliary country is not busy with this matter, but how to attack Xiangyang, otherwise, he would not have been in a hurry to join the army."
Wei Ba laughed. He understood what Lu Lan meant. Lu Xun asked him to discuss attacking Xiangyang, and that was clear. The Wu army was the main force, and the Shu army was cooperating with the Wu army to fight. In the future, the spoils were divided, and of course the Wu Kingdom was also the State of Wu.
If you take a big head and eat meat, Shu can only take a small head and drink soup. The largest piece of meat: Xiangyang, it must be out of reach with Shu.
The Shu army fought to the death, was it just to help Wu seize Xiangyang? Lu Xun made a good plan. Since that's the case, I can't go to Xiling.
"Otherwise." Wei Ba shook his head disapprovingly: "The reason for joining forces with Wu is to rely on the Wu navy. Now that the Wu navy is at a disadvantage, even if it joins forces, what role can it play? Let's wait,
Let’s talk about it when you catch up with the navy of Wei.”
Lu Lan's face was still smiling, but there was no smile in her eyes, but she was a little angry. "Join the army, the Wu Kingdom not only had a navy, but also fought on land, but also had everything. Don't forget to join the army, if our army had not been defeated in Lujiang
Cao Xiu, the main force of the Wei army was in the southeast and could not rush to Guanzhong in time. Your Northern Expedition would probably not be so smooth."
Wei Ba retorted: "No matter how good you fight, aren't you not without Hefei? Zhang Liao has been dead for many years, and Hefei is still an insurmountable city. It is impossible to defeat everything, so I don't know where to start."
Lu Lan's face suddenly turned red. He didn't expect Wei Ba to be so direct and did not give him any face. He stabbed Dongwu in the wound. For a moment, he didn't know how to reply to Wei Ba's words, and his origin
The aristocratic family received gentle, respectful, frugal and concise Confucian etiquette education since childhood, which made him not know how to deal with a ruthless warrior like Wei Ba. He imitated Lu Xun everywhere, but he did not have the status of Lu Xun, and Wei Ba was obviously not Lu Xun either.
You have no need to give him any face.
"Wei joins the army, I, Da Wu, are your ally." Lu Lan said with a slight smile: "Did you treat me as a hatred?"
"Allies, friends of the covenant. Since they are friends, they should be equal." Wei Ba said slowly: "Anqiao Pass is a diplomatic relationship between the two countries. Meeting here is fair to both sides.
It’s not impossible to go to Xiling. As long as you admit it, the west of Xiling is all the land of my great Han.” He looked at Lu Lan and said word by word: “Do you dare to say it?”
How could Lu Lan say that he was furious and returned in a defeat.
Wei Ba's heart was filled with more sorrow. As the saying goes, if you want to hit with all your strength, you have to make a fist. Wu and Shu are now suspicious of each other, and if one is not convinced, how can you put it together? Sun Quan is joining the alliance with Shu Han.
At the same time, maybe he was still bargaining with Cao Rui. This is not the first time he did such a thing. If Zhuge Liang had not accepted his melee plan, sent troops to Fangling, and threatened Sun Quan's flanks, he would not dare to go west easily.
If you enter, he is probably still threatening the security of Shu Kingdom.
If Wu and Shu cannot cooperate sincerely, how can we defeat Wei? However, these four words are simple to say, but even more difficult to do. The resentment and mutual affair between Wu and Shu in the Liu Bei era.
If you don’t trust, how can you be lifted in just a few covenants?
It seems that the cooperation in sending troops cannot be too much hope on Wu. The kings and ministers of Wu have been used to this trick of getting along with each other. If they want to make efforts, they must find another way to force them to regard this as their own business.
Wei Ba carefully analyzed the pros and cons of the three parties, feeling that it was necessary to slow down, so that Lu Xun and even Sun Quan could recognize the situation. He thought hard for a night, and then notified Fei Yi of his intentions, allowing Fei Yi to directly address Lu Xun.
He said: I will only wait in Anqiaosai for three days. If you don’t come in three days, I will go back to Fangling. Next, everyone will fight for their own things and will not talk about cooperation for the time being.
