Lu Xun raised his eyebrows and then calmed down again: "How much do you need?"
Wei Ba smiled happily: "Not many, plus the captives, we now have more than 30,000 people. The general needs to attack the city as long as we need to provide us with food."
Lu Lan couldn't help it anymore and laughed sarcastically: "It seems that you really want to come and cheat us today."
Wei Ba smiled even brighter: "The captain was joking, how could this be said to be blackmail? The captain had been by the general for a long time and should have a little knowledge of our alliance. If it weren't for your army's repeated delays, why would we have this?
.To be honest, if General Wu had not insisted, we would have withdrawn now. We have already made a lot of credit, and we will help you next. Brothers must settle the accounts clearly. Although we are allies,
Can't help for nothing, right?"
Wei Ba twisted his fingers and said slowly: "I said just now, if you think it's not appropriate, it's better to withdraw your troops now, so as not to be unhappy for everyone. I can bear the word blackmail, my soldiers.
But you can't stand it. Captain Lu, a gentleman is careful in his words and actions. You have to take good care of your mouth."
Lu Lan was furious and stood up, pointing his halberd to Wei Ba, and was about to shout. Wei Ba raised his eyelids and a cold light flashed. Lu Lan was stunned by his sight, and suddenly the chill was completely over, and it had already flowed into his mouth.
But he couldn't say anything, and his face turned red.
Lu Xun played with Yu Ruyi in his hand indifferently, glanced at Wei Ba sideways, and took the conversation: "There is not a shortage of food, but I have a request. If you agree to my request, I can supply your food."
Wei Ba retracted his gloomy gaze and changed into a harmless smile: "General, tell me."
"It's not easy to attack the city. I hope you can provide me with the powerful crossbow that day that day that was showing off his might."
Wei Ba raised his eyebrows and did not answer immediately. Lu Xun's appetite was really big. He actually liked my killing weapon. You don't know about the Qianbu Crossbow, otherwise you would probably have the Qianbu Crossbow directly. It's just such a big killing weapon.
How could I provide it to you, let alone food, but even gold, I can’t give it to you. See when American imperialism sells the most cutting-edge weapons to others.
"The general should know that this is the weapon of our army and it is impossible to provide it to you." Wei Ba smiled and said, "The general's request has been passed."
Lu Xun's eyes flashed: "You can't provide it to me. Can you help me? Xiangyang City is not Fancheng, and it is not easy to conquer it as soon as possible."
Wei Ba suddenly laughed: "General, I'm afraid you can't afford it."
"I can provide food for tens of thousands of troops, but I can't afford the fees for thousands of people?" Lu Xun smiled slightly: "You underestimate me too much."
Wei Ba shook his head: "Every one of us crossbowmen holds the military pay equivalent to the team's ranking, and the treatment of the special archer is equivalent to that of a commander. The chariot battalion of three thousand people has at least thirty special archers.
Nearly six hundred teams, general, are you sure you really afford it?”
Lu Xun was stunned for a moment: "Take it serious?"
Wei Ba nodded seriously: "No false words."
Lu Xun was silent, and he waved his hand: "Let me consider it again. I will give you an answer later."
"Okay, then wait for the general's good news. However, general, please forgive me. If the military rations cannot be delivered within two days, we can only withdraw our troops." Wei Ba bowed and turned around and left. He left the tent
Before, he stopped again. He took a step back and looked at Lu Lan with an angry face. He grinned: "Person Lu, since you are skilled in easy-to-do, why not build a few large crossbows by yourself? It also saves you from asking for help.
"After saying that, he laughed and left.
Lu Lan was so angry that her lips trembled, but she didn't know how to retort her, and watched Wei Ba leave. He turned his face and looked aggrievedly at Lu Xun and the girl who had just walked out of the tent: "General, Ming Zhu
, Look at this guy..."
When Wei Ba was there, no matter how rude Wei Ba was, Lu Xun never showed even a trace of anger. But now, he lowered his face: "Zhongshan, you have read books for so many years and have been numb for so many years, why are you still
So reckless?"
"I……"
The girl named Ming Zhu also said lightly: "Brother Zhong, you can't see that he deliberately wanted you to get angry?"
Lu Lan opened her mouth and lowered her head in frustration. Ming Zhu turned her face and said with some displeasure: "General, it is really hateful that he ignores my Lu family so much. You should teach him a lesson."
"How to teach a lesson?" Lu Xun smiled helplessly: "Discussing him? Do you think he really doesn't understand Yi Dao? If you have seen the scene where he used Yi Dao to martial arts, you wouldn't have such a thought.
.”
"Use Yi to enter the martial arts?" Ming Zhu opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Can Yi Dao still enter the martial arts?"
Lu Lan said disdainfully: "He knows what easy things are, he doesn't even understand the scriptures."
"Yi Dao is vast and full of everything, so of course he can enter the martial arts." Lu Xun remembered the scene where Wei Ba defeated Ding Feng lightly that day, and sighed: "The real Yi Dao is not between the simplified chapters and the simplified chapters.
If you think those few verses of the sutra are the easy way, then that is to give up and seek the end."
Lu Lan was speechless.
Ming Zhu's eyes rolled: "The general really wants to provide their military rations, and he wants their crossbowmen to help?"
"If we can give up so much money and food, why not do this? Let the Shu army contribute to our army, which can not only conquer the important town of Xiangyang, but also reduce the casualties of our army. Why not do it?" Lu Xun pondered: "It's just expenses."
It's too big, Mingzhu, please help me calculate whether we can support it."
"well."
After a moment, Lu Xun laughed at himself with some self-deprecating smirk: "No wonder Zhuge Liang valued him. He always valued skills and neglected Taoism, and gave up on the last ones."
...
Wei Ba returned to the camp and told Wu Yi and Meng Da about the blackmail of Lu Xun. Of course, this was not his intention at the moment, but his discussion with Wu Yi and Meng Da. What he said to Lu Xun was not false.
The Shu army really didn't want to fight anymore. First, the casualties were too great, and Meng Da's troops had already suffered more than half of the losses. In addition to the losses of other people, the Shu army suffered a total of more than 10,000 yuan. Second, the military achievements had been made, and if they continued to fight, it was purely
To be honest, few Shu army soldiers were willing to do this, especially when the Wu army had always had ulterior motives.
Fancheng must be unable to occupy it, and he will return it to the Wei army sooner or later. Since that's the case, why bother here? Returning to Fangling with the spoils is the best choice at present. The reason why I didn't leave immediately was because
Although the goal of consuming the strength of the Wei army was achieved, the goal of consuming the strength of the Wu army had not been achieved. Wei Ba was a little unwilling to leave like this.
Lu Xun wanted him to be cannon fodder and he wanted to pull Lu Xun into the water. No one was kind. He was just to fight for greater benefits.
His goal was achieved. The next day, Lu Xun sent someone to send a batch of military rations, which was only enough for the 30,000 troops to eat for ten days. Lu Xun said that it was of great importance and he wanted to ask Sun Quan for instructions, so he could only give so much for the time being.
.The issue of hiring the Shu army's chariot battalion to fight was too high, so we had to ask Sun Quan for instructions, hoping that the Shu army would be prepared. Once Sun Quan's edict arrived, we would immediately cross the water to assist the city.
Wei Ba agreed readily.
Before Sun Quan's edict was delivered, the Wei army forced to Fancheng again. His Majesty Cao Rui, the emperor of Wei, arrived in person and brought another 20,000 imperial guards, including 20,000 cavalry. The Wei army would have a total of 50,000 troops stationed in Fancheng.
In addition, there were 30,000 troops on the way to arrive. The endless camps surrounded Fancheng.
Although the Wei army had no naval division, this did not prevent them from cutting off the Han River. The battle was first carried out on the control of the Han River. Sima Yi, who had been defeated and fought repeatedly, served as the commander-in-chief of the front line, and he was on the north bank of the Han River on both sides of Fancheng.
He set up a camp, cut wood day and night to create obstacles, and prepared to forcibly cut off the Han River.
The Shu army also divided the labor. Meng Da led more than 5,000 people to defend the city. Wu Yi led Feng Jin and other water and land troops to serve as supporters, waiting for the battle and trying his best to prevent the Wei army from blocking the Han River. For safety reasons, Wu Yi obtained Lu Xun's
Agree to establish a camp on the south bank of the Han River, compete with Sima Yi for every ferry, blocking the Wei army on the north bank of the Han River. At the same time, Zhu Ran also led his troops to launch a counterattack and controlled the Han River east of Fancheng.
The water surface will not allow the Wei army to be attacked.
While fighting for the Han River, Lu Xun commanded the army and officially launched an attack on Xiangyang. Fifty thousand troops surrounded Xiangyang and attacked day and night.
Immediately afterwards, King Sun Quan of Wu led an army of 30,000 from Jiangling and rushed to Xiangyang. He asked Zhang Wen and Fei Yi to arrive in Xiangyang first and told Lu Xun and Wu Yi that he had brought a large amount of military rations, enough for the Wu and Shu army to eat.
In the past month, I hope the Shu army can defend Fancheng and buy more time for the Wu army to attack Xiangyang.
For a moment, the Han River was filled with smoke from north to south, and all the main roads were crowds of people walking in a hurry. Teams of troops rushed to the battlefield through the road, and the team transporting food and grass could not see at a glance.
Wei Ba finally breathed a sigh of relief. His goal was finally achieved. The two big tigers, Cao Rui and Sun Quan, were successfully transferred to Xiangyang by him. More than 100,000 troops from Wei and Wu were focused around Xiangyang, and a fierce battle was
It is inevitable. No matter who wins or loses in the end, his vitality will be severely damaged, and the price paid by Shu Kingdom for this is only the casualties of more than 10,000 people. If we count the spoils and prisoners he obtained, Shu Kingdom still has a little more than a win, which can be said to be
A successful investment example.
With such achievements, Wei Ba has enough money to be happy. He fulfilled his promise and completed the important task of making a big move. It is a very successful weight.
At night, Cao Rui sat on the just-standing podium, looking at Fancheng, which was like a creeping tiger in the distance, silent as if he was standing on his side, just as he was standing on him.
In front of his grandfather Cao Cao.
"You don't have to be so nervous. If you are defeated by Wei Ba, you are not the first, nor will you be the last one." Cao Rui withdrew his gaze, slowly swept in front of the few people in front of him, and suddenly said: "And, you
Actually, I’m not nervous at all, but I’m a little relaxed, right?”
Sima Yi's face changed slightly, he lifted up his clothes and slowly fell to the ground.
