Zhuge Ke replied a letter to Wei Ba, which was very impressive but extremely arrogant. He said to Wei Ba, I have heard for a long time that Wei Jun is a hero of the Shu Han Dynasty, and I really want to meet you to gain more knowledge. But now we are enemies.
Since we are enemies, there is no need to meet you. I can just wait for you in the city. Otherwise, I will be impressed by Wei Jun's grace and feel pity for you. I will not be able to fight wholeheartedly and betray the trust of the country. If after the war, I am lucky enough to return.
If I can survive, and if Wu and Han can reunite their alliance, I will definitely come to Wei Jun to ask for advice in order to gain some benefits.
After reading Zhuge Ke's reply, Guan Feng sneered: "I don't know how high the sky is, I only know how to show off my lips."
Wei Ba fiddled with the reply and said to Xia Houxuan with a half-smile, "Taichu, have you seen Zhuge Ke's intentions?"
Xia Houxuan dismissed it: "At his level, I will curse him to death."
"Then you can scold me and see if you can scold him to death. It will save me trouble."
Xia Houxuan smacked his lips and did not answer Wei Ba's words. He was just expressing his disdain for Zhuge Ke. How could he really curse him? It is really boring to talk to such a person without a sense of humor.
"He wants to wait for us to attack the city." Guan Feng tasted the meaning. "He abandoned the counties of Fuchuan and concentrated all his troops on Linhe. If we want to occupy the entire Linhe County, or pass through Linhe
When He enters Cangwu, he must attack Linhe County. Not to mention that we only brought 6,000 people. Even if we brought 10,000 people, it would not be easy to conquer Linhe in a short time. But if we don't attack the city,
, we can only return without success.”
Wei Ba nodded and glanced reproachfully at Xia Houxuan: "Master, do you see the hidden murderous intention in this?"
Xia Houxuan's face turned red.
"Then what should we do?" Guan Feng frowned: "He uses retreat to advance and attack to defend. He looks cowardly, but it is really uncomfortable."
"It's okay. He made me feel uncomfortable, and I made him feel even more uncomfortable." Wei Ba spread out the map, marked the locations of both parties on it, and finally clicked on Xiemu County. "I think Zhuge Ke wanted to lead us there.
Linhe, probably wants to send people to occupy Xie Mu and then cut off our retreat. At that time, we will have no way to attack the city if we advance, and no way to escape if we retreat. We can only deal with them in this flat land. "
Xia Houxuan stared at the map for a while, and suddenly said in surprise: "This open area is a good place for cavalry to charge. Doesn't he want to mobilize Zhu Ji's cavalry?"
"You finally figured it out." Wei Ba said with a smile, but his mouth was a little bitter. Linhe is the choke point leading to Cangwu. If you don't conquer Linhe, you can't attack Cangwu. The southwest of Linhe County is flat.
The open land is about ten miles wide from east to west and fifteen miles long from north to south. It is faced with mountains on three sides, and the exit is right at the mouth of the valley where Linhe County is located. If you want to attack the city, this open land is naturally the best place to camp, but once the cavalry comes from
Killings are coming from the north. This is the slaughterhouse, there is no place to escape.
Zhuge Ke's intentions were very vicious. He had chosen the battlefield and dug a hole for him to jump into.
"This is a self-righteous fool." Guan Feng sneered: "Who does he think he is? Zhu Ji will listen to his command? Once the cavalry enters this area, it is fun to charge, but it will be difficult if they are blocked here.
Escaped."
Wei Ba's eyes flashed: "You mean Zhu Ji won't come?"
"If he is so arrogant towards Zhu Ji, I believe Zhu Ji will ignore him." Guan Feng nodded and pointed to Zhuge Ke's letter. "Zhu Ji is the son of Zhu Ran and one of the four surnames in Wu County. He
The cavalry he leads is not his own, but Lu Xun's. If the losses are too great, can he bear the responsibility? Besides, if this battle is won, who will get the most credit? Will Zhu Ji be so kind as to help Zhuge Ke?
?”
Wei Ba couldn't help laughing. He knew what the problem was. As Guan Feng said, Zhuge Ke was too self-righteous. He chose a battlefield and then waited for him to attack. There was nothing wrong with this. But
He tried to mobilize Zhu Ji, who was on the same level as him and even older than him, to help him. This was a bit unreasonable. He was favored in front of Sun Quan, but on the battlefield, who would care about him as a newcomer?
When the angle of looking at the problem changed, Wei Ba's ideas suddenly opened up. He immediately ordered that the army be divided into two. The prime minister led two thousand troops to set up an ambush at Guishan in the north of Fuchuan, waiting for Zhu Ji who might come to rescue, and sent troops from Heisha.
He led a hundred soldiers to assist. The north of Guishan is a swamp, with Dupang Ridge to the west and Mengzhu Ridge to the east. It is the only way from Lingling and Guiyang to Linhe. There are two thousand people and one
Guarded by hundreds of soldiers, even if ten thousand troops come, the prime minister can hold on for a while and provide him with sufficient warning.
Wei Ba himself led his troops to camp at the foot of Linhe City, and at the same time issued a recruitment order, notifying the nearby barbarians to come to help. The rice in the fields was about to ripen, and the Wu army was hiding in the city and did not dare to come out. It was a good time to harvest rice.
.
After listening to Wei Ba's order, everyone laughed. Zhuge Ke thought he was smart, so he defended Linhe City, lured Wei Ba to attack the city, and then trapped Wei Ba in Lincheng Hexia, but Wei Ba could not surround him now.
Instead of attacking, he summoned nearby mountain people to seize the rice outside the city. If Zhuge Ke wanted to stop him, he had to go out of the city to fight. He could not stop him hiding in the city.
From one moment of silence to another, the host and the guest change their positions in an instant.
…
Linhe is surrounded by mountains.
We are among the five ridges. There are more mountains than flat land, and there are more barbarians than Han people. Normally, you can’t see anyone after walking for a long time, but after the divine general’s recruitment order, within three or five days, many people appeared out of nowhere.
The barbarians, carrying poles and ropes, carrying people to eat, and guys with heads on their waists, came happily to snatch them away. Most of them didn't have any armor. They only had a wooden board as a shield, so they could carry it.
Anyone with a piece of broken bamboo armor is considered a rich person. If he has a pair of broken bamboo armor, he is considered a wealthy person.
Many people here come here because of the name of General Wei. The story that General Wei took only half a day to break through the pass has become an out-and-out myth, and has also become the most popular after-dinner among the barbarians in the mountains.
The topic spread later, and it has become that the rain god in the sky was summoned by the gods to rain heavily on Yan Pass, directly washing away the Wu army at the pass, and a bolt of lightning killed the leader of the Wu army, Lu Kai. I heard that the God of Wei was coming
When they arrived at Linhe, the barbarians from the nearby mountains all wanted to come and see if General Wei had three eyes, three heads and six arms. As for harvesting some rice, it was no longer the most important thing.
What surprised the barbarians who heard the news was that General Wei was also a human being. He was a very kind young man with white teeth showing when he smiled. General Wei was not a lofty god. No matter who he saw, he was
They are so happy that they will bow their hands when they see an older person, they will touch their heads and chat with each other when they see a little baby. They will even blush when they see a sharp-tongued girl and their daughter-in-law. This will definitely make people want to see monsters.
The barbarians were a little disappointed, but they were immediately attracted by the golden rice outside Linhe City.
The harvest begins immediately.
The barbarians were as motivated as locusts, working day and night to harvest the rice in Linhe County. Anyway, with the army of divine generals watching the Wu army in the city, they could move with confidence. Even if they encountered scattered obstacles, they would not
Fearful, he threw down the sickle, took out the machete from his waist and went forward. They solved it on their own without the general having to take action.
Zhuge Ke was so angry that he built a strong wall. But he didn't have time to clear the field. If he had known this, he would have burned all the rice outside. Of course, it wasn't that he didn't want to burn it, but he didn't expect that Wei Ba would come like this.
Come on. He came here to collect it for military rations. After all, his soldiers also need to eat.
With just a thought, these rice became the spoils of Wei Ba. Looking at the barbarians outside the city who were harvesting, Zhuge Ke almost bit his teeth into pieces. He was looking forward to it. He was just waiting for Zhu Ji to lead the cavalry from the direction of Xie Mu. As long as Zhu Ji
Ji arrived immediately, even if Wei Ba snatched the rice, he would not have a chance to eat it.
However, as the rice outside the city became less and less, all the rice fields he could see had been harvested. He did not see a war horse, let alone Zhu Ji's cavalry. The north was peaceful, and there was no sign of war at all.
shadow.
Zhuge Ke's heart gradually sank, and he realized that he had made a mistake. This was not Wuchang, there was no king or prince who trusted him, and Zhu Jigen did not take him seriously.
Stealing the chicken will end up losing the rice.
However, the matter was far more serious than the loss of rice. Zhu Ji refused to come to help. The three thousand troops commanded by Zhuge Ke alone could not defeat Wei Ba. He wanted to attack Wei Ba from a flank, but now he was blocked by Wei Ba.
Hecheng. As time goes by, he may face the danger of running out of food.
For the first time, Zhuge Ke felt the cruelty and reality of the battlefield. No matter how good his eloquence was, he could not solve the predicament at hand. He began to think about how to solve the problem and who might be willing to save him. Zhu Ji could not count on it, so he had to look
He turned to Dai Liang, the governor of Jiaozhou, and Pan Jun, the Fenwei general stationed in Linxu.
Zhuge Ke wrote a sincere letter asking for help and sent people secretly out of the city to Panyu and Linyang. This time he learned the lesson and did not ask them to besiege Wei Ba in a big way, but asked them to come to relieve the siege.
Zhuge Ke's letter asking for help was sent, and Zhu Ji's reply came belatedly. He said to Zhuge Ke, I have reported your plan to the general of the state. The general of the state believes that the terrain of Linhe County is not suitable for cavalry operations.
, for the sake of safety, I can only move around the Quanling area and are not allowed to enter the mountainous area. Therefore, I can't rescue you. I hope you can hold on for a while. General Fuguo and General Fenwei are arranging people to pick you up. You must
You must hold on and drag Wei Ba to Linhe and not let him escape. If you can kill Wei Ba, you will have done a great job.
Zhuge Ke was so angry that he yelled: "Zhu Ji, I remember you."
…
Just when Zhuge Ke was scolding Zhu Ji, Wei Ba welcomed a mysterious guest.
The visitor was in his thirties, with a thin build and a pair of slender eyes that always seemed to be squinting at people. After he entered the tent, he carefully looked at Wei Ba for a long time, and finally laid his eyes on Xia Houxuan.
Show respect.
"Are you really Xiahou Taichu, the son of General Zhengnan?"
Xia Houxuan was stunned for a moment and nodded unhappily: "I am, who are you?"
As the visitor spoke, he took out a sealing ribbon from his pocket and carefully placed it on the case. "This is the Qichun prefectural sealing ribbon awarded to my brother Fei Zhan by Duke Cao back then. My name is Fei Yang."
Wei Ba's eyes tightened: "So you are the younger brother of Danyang Marshal Fei Zhan."
