Wei Ba smiled awkwardly and called Zhao Tong who was admiring the moon in the distance. He told him the strategy he had discussed with Guan Feng. Zhao Tong was surprised but didn't say anything. Wei Ba then asked someone to call him back.
He called Xiangfu and Wuzhu, explained the situation, and told them his plan.
When Xiangfu and Wuzhu heard that all the Chenxi barbarians had been captured alive, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale. Wuzhu was overjoyed. Because the Youxi tribe received the news in advance, I Shuai Zeng made a decisive decision and finished harvesting the rice before it was fully mature and retreated into the mountains.
The harvest was greatly affected, but at least there were no casualties, so Wu would not be like Chenxi Man.
Catch them all in one fell swoop. But the prime minister became nervous. The Wu people's determination made him smell extremely dangerous. Since they could deal such a cruel blow to the Chenxi tribe, there was no guarantee that they would not attack his Xiongxi tribe. He was living in Xiling.
After all these years, I still don’t know what the situation is like in the tribe, and whether I can get the news in time and avoid this disaster.
However, they all agreed with Wei Ba's decision to save the Chenxi tribe. Although the Wuxi barbarians had conflicts with each other, they could still stand on the same front on major issues of right and wrong.
"Okay, just listen to the waiter."
Wei Ba was very satisfied. The reason why he wanted to fight with all his strength was to win the support of these barbarians. "Now you go back and have a good rest. We will start taking action early tomorrow morning."
"Here." Xiangfu and Wuzhu stood up and bowed to accept the order. They turned around and were about to leave when Wei Ba stopped Xiangfu.
"That...is the hairpin you pulled out from the princess's head still there?"
"Yes." The husband was stunned: "Servant, do you want it?"
"I want to use it." Wei Ba smiled and said, "You ask someone to take it out. I will give it to him in money."
The husband smiled: "The waiter is joking, how can I accept your money? It's okay, I'll have someone deliver it later."
"No, that's your trophy. I won't get it in vain." Wei Ba took out a gem from his arms and presented it to his husband: "I also got this from the princess. I don't understand. I don't know."
Can it be worth the hairpin? If not, tell me again."
The prime minister was embarrassed and refused again and again. He had been a thief for many years and he was the best at recognizing goods. Although the hairpin was valuable, how could it be worth this gem? Let alone a gem, Wei Ba could exchange it for anything he wanted.
It's to give him face. How can we talk about equal payment?
In exchange, Wei Ba insisted on giving it. The prime minister burst into tears and went with the gem. Not long after, he led a burly man to come in a hurry. The man held up the hairpin with both hands. He had a silly smile on his face, but his eyes were bright.
Staring at the gem in the husband's hand without blinking.
After sending away the prime minister and the big man, Wei Ba gave Zhao Tong a few more instructions. Zhao Tong looked at him in surprise, but said nothing, stood up and left.
…
Zhou Yin got out of the big tent, faced the rising sun, and stretched out.
"yawn!"
"Zhongying, did you sleep well?" Zhou Jun came over in full gear, looked at the sleepy Zhou Yin, smiled and shook his head. He was over thirty and had passed the age of lethargy, unlike Zhou Yin.
I'm still yawning so early in the morning.
"It's okay, it's okay." Zhou Yin smacked his mouth and complained: "I'm used to sleeping on the boat these days, but it's a bit unfamiliar to suddenly come back to the shore to sleep."
Zhou Jun looked at the Chenxi Man sleeping in the open air and frowned. Zhou Yin saw this, twisted his mouth, and said with a bad smile: "Why, it's too much at once, are you afraid that you won't be able to swallow it?"
"You're really right, I'm just worried that I won't be able to swallow it." Zhou Jun sighed: "Zhongying, according to your plan this time, we drove straight in and caught Chenxi Man by surprise. The result was great, but it also seriously delayed us. At this rate, it will take at least a month to return to Chenyang. During this month on the road, anything can happen."
"With my brother strategizing, who can take advantage of us?" Zhou Yin smiled disapprovingly, "With the infantry soldiers pressing down on the border, I'm afraid the Youxi barbarians have already fled. They can't possibly threaten our flanks. As for Wei Ba, hehe, he only has Hundreds of people, I really don’t believe that he dared to attack me. That is to say, Wei Jing, the scholar, was defeated by Wei Ba. If Wei Ba dares to mess with me, I will just save the princess and the girl from the Pan family. Then we will see How can General Pan thank me?"
Zhou Jun also laughed. They received a military report from Pan Jun. Wei Jing was defeated by Wei Ba with a thousand men. In order to cover up his mistakes, he also lied about the large-scale invasion of the Shu army. This matter has become a joke. To If Wei Jing hadn't been a good friend of Bu Zhi, I'm afraid he would have been beheaded by Sun Quan. The situation is not much better now. If he can't follow Bu Zhi to atone for his sins, he, the prefect of Wuling, will definitely not be able to survive.
The Zhou family, Bu Zhi, and Wei Jing are both from the Jianghuai clan. Such taunting words are only said among their acquaintances. In front of the Jiangdong clan, they are unwilling to say a word. There are no outsiders at this moment, and Zhou Jun does not stop them. Zhou Yin.
The two were joking when suddenly someone came to report that there was someone on the north bank. Zhou Jun and Zhou Yin looked at each other and immediately became serious. Zhou Yin turned around and picked up the sword and said to Zhou Jun: "Zigao, you are in charge of the central army, I will go. have a look."
"Zhongying, be careful."
"I know." Zhou Yin responded and ran towards the shore.
On the north bank, there was indeed a person waving his arms and shouting. The water was very wide, so it was difficult to hear clearly. Only the word "princess" could be vaguely heard. Zhou Yin immediately thought of Sun Luban, and immediately sent a small boat to take that person took it over.
The person who came was none other than Wei Xing, Wei Ba's personal guard. He stepped ashore, looked at Zhou Yin, who was dressed in military uniform but without a helmet, and raised his hand: "May I ask which General Zhou it is?"
"I'm not a general, I'm Zhou Yin, the captain of Xingye." Zhou Yin raised his chin and looked at Wei Xing arrogantly: "If you have anything to say, just say it, I have the final say."
Wei Xing smiled gently: "It turns out he is the son of the Grand Governor, Captain Zhou Zhongying. I have admired him for a long time."
"You still know me?" Zhou Yin couldn't help laughing.
"Of course." Wei Xing said with a smile: "Captain, don't forget, your sister-in-law, Princess Sun, is with us now."
As soon as he heard Sun Luban, the smile on Zhou Yin's face disappeared. He snorted coldly: "Where is Wei Ba now? He dared to kidnap the princess. He is really bold."
Wei Xing shook his head: "The captain is wrong. The princess was not robbed by us, but by the barbarians. We are chasing her to rescue the princess, not to kidnap her."
"If that's the case, then why don't you send the princess back?"
"It's hard to explain this matter." Wei Xing sighed: "It's not that we don't want to send the princess back, but we discovered that there is a big conspiracy. Someone wants to kill the princess and my young master, so my young master has to protect the princess before heading south, and wait. Find a suitable opportunity and then escort her back to Chengdu."
"Nonsense!" Zhou Yin sneered: "Get it for me."
The guards around him responded and crowded over. Wei Xing looked at Zhou Yin calmly and slowly took out a piece of paper from his arms: "Captain, please read this letter from the princess first.
, it’s not too late to make a decision. She was once your sister-in-law, I think you can recognize her handwriting to some extent."
Zhou Yin looked at Wei Xing in surprise, took the piece of paper, opened it, and saw that it was indeed Sun Luban's handwriting. Sun Luban said that the circumstances of her robbery were complicated and difficult to describe. Now she asked Zhou Yin to provide a ship.
Let her and Wei Ba and others cross the Chen River and leave some food for later use.
In addition to Sun Luban's autographed letter, Wei Xing also brought a hairpin. Although there is no unique symbol on this hairpin, the luxurious decoration and exquisite craftsmanship can prove that only people like Sun Luban can have such a thing.
Those barbarians cannot be created.
Zhou Yin walked back and forth a few times and sneered: "What a joke, do you think I will let the princess appear in front of me and then let her be taken away by you? The princess is in your hands now, how do I know she wrote this letter?"
Did you force him? Stop talking nonsense, go back and tell Wei Ba, and ask him to hand over the princess honestly, and I can guarantee his safety. If he doesn't know the truth, don't blame me for turning his back on him, leading his troops to kill him, and kill him.
Even if we take his head, we can still save the princess."
Wei Xing tilted his mouth and looked at Zhou Yin with a half-smile. That contemptuous look made Zhou Yin furious. He stopped in front of Wei Xing, narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Boy, you look down on me.
?”
"The dignified Captain Xingye is competing with a small bodyguard of mine. I wonder what Zhou Dadu will think if he is underground?" Wei Xing looked back at Zhou Yin disapprovingly: "Captain Zhou, if you really have
Such ambitions are perfect. To tell you the truth, my young master is in the valley opposite, with about a hundred people around him.
Personally. However, I would like to remind you that these hundred and ten people are not ordinary people, but warriors who can equal ten to one. At least my young master, needless to say, I think that even though the captain's status is low, he will not have the opportunity to experience Xiangyang in person.
In the battle, you can still hear about my young master's illustrious military exploits. If you want to fight against him, you'd better be fully prepared."
Zhou Yin was furious. He couldn't bear to hear anyone say that he was of low status. He was the second son and could not inherit his father's troops. His elder brother died early and had no heirs. It was supposed that he could only inherit his father's troops, but he didn't know
Why, Sun Quan never issued an edict for him to inherit. This has almost become a thorn in his heart. And
Like him, Wei Ba is also the second son, and he is also a concubine. He is a few years younger than him, but he has repeatedly made military exploits. If it hadn't been for this accident, it was expected that he would be granted the title of marquis based on his military exploits. In comparison, he
I feel that I am a head short, I have a famous father in vain, but I am so useless.
Being so provoked by Wei Xing, he immediately became angry. He pulled out his sword and put it on Wei Xing's neck. "He has great military achievements? He just met by chance. If he has real ability, we will see the real results in battle."
"How are you going to fight?" Wei Xing stretched out two fingers and gently pushed away Zhou Yin's sword. "I just said that my young master has more than a hundred warriors around him. One is worth ten. For the sake of fairness, you
You can lead a thousand people to fight fairly with my young master."
Zhou Yin was furious. "Do I need a thousand men? As long as I use the same force, I can beat him to the ground!" (To be continued...)
