With Wei Ba's consent, Fei Yi breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately went down the mountain and rushed to Chenyang.
Lu Xun had just arrived at Chenyang. Looking at Chenyang City where the green smoke was curling up, Lu Xun was heartbroken. He knew that Wei Ba did not leave any chance for him.
"General, what should we do?" Lu Lan's face was as dark as a city wall.
"Let's go into the city and have a look. Maybe we can save some food." Lu Xun said helplessly.
There was no food in the city, so Zhao Tong burned it very well. He strictly followed Wei Ba's requirements, moved the food for half a day, and then set a fire to burn the remaining food. Of course, he didn't have nothing.
He left Lu Xun with all the prisoners and wounded, as well as neatly arranged corpses. The total number was almost complete.
Looking at the dejected prisoners and the miserable groaning wounded, Lu Xun wanted to cry without tears. These were burdens, but he could not abandon them. He had an obligation to accept these people. Wei Ba took away his food, but left it for him.
Burden, this is by no means Wei Ba's kindness, but Wei Ba's insidiousness. These people are adding insult to injury for his shortage of food.
When Lu Xun entered the city, Qiao Ren came to him and knelt down to kowtow. He was so ashamed that Lu Xun was so exhausted that he no longer had the energy to blame Qiao Ren and ask him to get up and reply.
"Thank you, General!" Qiao Ren raised his hand in embarrassment.
"What happened? How did Wei Ba conquer Chenyang so quickly?"
Qiao Ren's face was pale. He still felt extremely frightened by everything he saw last night, as if the scene was still in front of him. He stammered and told Lu Xun what happened yesterday, including what he saw with his own eyes and what happened.
What he guessed, because of fear, he could no longer distinguish which ones were facts and which ones were his own conjectures. It sounded like a myth, as if Wei Ba set off two fires and then flew to the top of the city. Lu Lan heard
Frowning again and again.
After listening to Qiao Ren's story, Lu Xun sighed and was speechless. He knew that Wei Ba's tactics were unbelievable, and even he himself might not be able to respond in time. Qiao Ren was a cautious person, and faced many cunning tactics.
The changed Wei Ba has no advantages at all. In fact, these may seem unbelievable, but they are not traceable. People who are good at defense will always suffer some losses when facing people who are good at attacking. Just like him in front of Wei Ba
Without any effective means of restraint, it was impossible for Qiao Ren to block Wei Ba's clever attacks.
Just in the evening, Fei Yi arrived in Chenyang. He went straight to the city to ask for a meeting with Lu Xun. Lu Xun was very surprised by Fei Yi's arrival.
"Why are you back again?" Lu Xun asked coldly.
Fei Yi replied calmly: "I'm here to negotiate with the general."
"Didn't I tell you? There is nothing left to talk about between us."
"Then the general will just watch Pan Jun's five thousand troops trapped and die in the canyon?"
"His life or death depends on fate. I have no ability to save him. This is my incompetence. I will apologize to the King of Wu."
"General, it would be too casual to attribute this to God's will." There was no trace of guilt on Fei Yi's face. On the contrary, he was more confident that he had a ticket to victory. "General, more than half of the Bu Zhao was lost, and Lu Dai himself died on the battlefield.
, if Pan Jun's entire army is wiped out again, I think the King of Wu will probably not give up, and maybe Han and Wu will start fighting again. Once the Han-Wu alliance breaks down, the general should be able to imagine what the consequences will be."
Lu Xun frowned slightly and was silent. He knew that Fei Yi had grasped the key point. The alliance was broken. Of course it was not a good thing for Shu, but it was an unacceptable consequence for Wu. Once Wu and Shu went to war, Wei
The state may attack the state of Wu, and the state of Wu will face a pincer attack from the state of Wei and the Shu Han. The state of Wu is in danger of subjugation. What is even more difficult for Lu Xun to accept is that the king of Wu may think that his rejection of the alliance is because the Jiangdong family is doing it for their own interests.
.I would rather the Kingdom of Wu perish, even just to avenge the family. Once the furious Sun Quan has such an idea, the Lu family may suffer an unimaginable blow.
Lu Xun did not dare to take such a risk. He knew very well that once Sun Quan was angry and could retain some sense, what kind of destructive power it would produce. This battle of Wuling was a bloody lesson. In the final analysis, the defeat of the three armies was
It happened because of Sun Quan's random fate.
Lu Xun's eyes flashed and he raised his eyelids to look at Fei Yi: "Wei Ba is willing to negotiate?"
"Yes, he is willing to negotiate, as long as the general can accept his previous conditions." Fei Yi said calmly, as if all the conflicts were just caused by Lu Xun's misunderstanding. "He has always been willing to negotiate, and he did not want the Han-Wu alliance to break up.
, for him, that was not a good result. It was only because the general did not agree to his conditions that he was forced to attack Chenyang. If the general was willing to agree to the conditions he proposed before, he could return Pan Jun's army and shake hands.
Make peace and get back together."
Lu Xun pondered and did not answer immediately. He didn't know what to choose. He could agree to the other conditions, but it was difficult for him to guarantee that Sun Quan would agree to the condition of returning Mrs. Sun. In exchange for the dignity of Wu State with the lives of five thousand elites, he
I wonder what choice Sun Quan will make?
Lu Xun was a little angry. "Why do you put this difficulty on me? You should know that it is difficult for King Wu to agree to this condition."
Fei Yi smiled: "Five thousand people can be replaced by one person. I think King Wu will consider it. Even if there are any opinions in the future, King Wu can understand your good intentions now, General. He is a person who can distinguish right from wrong, and he is also a good person."
A man who has the world in mind will not blame the general for this mistake. General, both of us know that Han and Wu are alliances, not enemies, at least not yet. If negotiations cannot be carried out, the Han-Wu alliance will completely collapse.
This is not something any of us want to see. Is the general willing to give up this last chance?"
Lu Xun pinched his fingers in pain, his joints creaking. This responsibility was too heavy, too heavy for him to bear. Wei Ba could ignore the overall situation, act arbitrarily, and ask for Wuling County, but he had to weigh the pros and cons and distinguish
Severity. Wu State has suffered such a catastrophe and is unable to fight anymore. If it does not ally with Shu and Han, it has no choice but to surrender to Cao Wei. Otherwise, Wu State will face a flanking attack from two sides, and its survival will become a problem.
"I can promise you, but I can't guarantee that King Wu will agree to this condition."
"It doesn't matter. I think as long as the general is willing, the most important thing is to rescue those five thousand troops and avoid the final breakdown of the alliance. As for whether you are willing to agree in the future, we can talk about it again." Fei Yi paused and sighed again.
He said: "Actually, what I want to say to the general is that occupying Wuling is only Wei Ba's own idea. Prime Minister Zhuge is also unwilling to accept it. But the general should also know that at this point, if he does not agree to Wei Ba's request to occupy Wuling,
We can't explain it to the officials. Even if Prime Minister Zhuge doesn't like Wei Ba's choice, he can only accept the result, otherwise he will become the target of public criticism."
Lu Xun glanced at Fei Yi and sneered: "I know it's more difficult for you than me. Wei Ba is really stupid, he will always be used as a sword."
Lu Xun didn't say anything more. He didn't believe Fei Yi. He felt that this matter was Zhuge Liang's conspiracy. He was hiding behind the scenes, but pushed Wei Ba, a young man, to the front of the scene, just as he had let Wei Ba kidnap the princess into Wuxi. Now all the favorable conditions are in Wei Ba's hands. He doesn't have many choices. In order to rescue Pan Jun's 5,000 troops, he can only accept this condition. As for the future results, he can only wait until later.
The first thing to do is to follow the right. "Okay, I promise you, you win." Lu Xun said a little disappointed.
"General, it's not us who won, it's just Wei Ba who won."
"It doesn't matter, what's the difference? After all, I lost." Lu Xun smiled bitterly: "Of course, you may not have won. Maybe as you said, the only one who really wins is Wei Ba."
Fei Yi smiled and said nothing more. He pretended not to understand Lu Xun's provocation.
After getting Lu Xun's consent, Fei Yi and Lu Lan discussed the details overnight. The contract had been roughly drawn up before, and there were not many questions. The only difference was that Lu Xun refused to agree to Mrs. Sun's matter immediately. Now, Lu Xun There are not many choices left. He can only make the decision without permission and agree to Wei Ba's unacceptable conditions. He doesn't know what the final result will be, but for now, he can only agree, otherwise, he can only watch Pan Jun. Starved to death in the canyon.
After stamping Lu Xun's seal, Fei Yi rushed back to Longyantan with the contract, and Lu Lan returned with him. Wei Ba was very satisfied with the result and accepted it without saying any nonsense this time. Lu Lan and Fei Yi then went down to the canyon and came to Pan Jun.
After hearing what Lu Lan said, Pan Jun was very angry.
"Do I need to use the dignity of King Wu to save my life?" Pan Jun angrily said: "I used my troops poorly and died on the battlefield. This is the result I deserve and my honor. How can I use the interests of the country and Honor is exchanged for my life, even if I can survive, what's the point?"
Fei Yi shook his head and disagreed. "General, what you said is wrong. This is not only your personal honor and disgrace, but also the lives of five thousand soldiers. You can sacrifice your life for righteousness, but the King of Wu needs these five thousand troops. A man puts state affairs first, and for a while What does my grievance mean? General Lu can bear the humiliation and bear the burden, why can't you? Is your personal honor and disgrace heavier than the entire Jingzhou?"
Pan Jun was speechless, his face was ashen, and he said nothing.
Fei Yi asked again: "As for your love and Zhao Zhonglang's marriage, is the general willing to agree?"
Pan Jun asked angrily: "What other choice do I have?"
Fei Yi smiled. He knew what Pan Jun was thinking. His daughter was kidnapped and forced into marriage, which was definitely not what Pan Jun was willing to accept. Moreover, Zhao Yun was a martial artist, and her daughter once married Prince Sun Lu. Now, But he has to marry Zhao Yun's son. This is not so much a marriage as a shame. But now, what choice does he have? People under low eaves have to bow their heads. This is Pan Jun's current situation. Mood portrait.
