Chapter 570: Turning your hands into clouds, covering your hands into rain
Xiahou Hui was indeed very worried. She immediately reported the news from Guan Feng to Mrs. Zhang at the Literature Museum. Mrs. Zhang was also a little panicked. She knew that Wei Ba was very dangerous outside, but she didn't expect the situation to be so critical. She didn't have any
Hesitated, he immediately called Wei Feng's newlywed wife Xi over, and in front of her, he authorized Xiahou Hui to mediate, and Xi provided assistance.
Xi entered the Wei family and had many contacts with Xiahou Hui. She knew that Xiahou Hui was extremely capable in this area, which was beyond her ability. She also knew that the Wei family could have the current glory, on the one hand, because of Wei Yan's qualifications.
But more because of Wei Ba's outstanding achievements. If Wei Ba had any accidents, the foundation of the Wei family would be lost. Wei Feng and Wei Ba were very close, if it affected Wei Ba's reason for her
Wei Feng will never forgive her for her life safety. After hearing Mrs. Zhang's words, Xi agreed happily, expressing his efforts to cooperate and contact her parents' home and give Wei Ba as much resources as possible.
With the support of Mrs. Zhang, Xiahou Hui rushed to Zhang's mansion without stopping and immediately met Empress Zhang through Mrs. Xiahou, and then went to Wu's mansion and asked the Empress Dowager for help through Mrs. Wu Yi. Liu Chan soon learned the news.
, but he could not make any decision. Although he was His Majesty the Emperor, the military power in Chengdu was not in his hands. He could not help anything except anxious.
...
Xiahou Hui came to an inconspicuous courtyard in the western suburbs of Chengdu in a simple carriage.
Li Miao, who had been unemployed for a long time, was studying at home. Suddenly, he heard that a guest was visiting and was stunned. Since offending Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, he has not had any guests for a long time. He hesitated for a while: "Who is it?"
"The other party didn't say anything." The old guard replied: "There is no sign on the carriage, and I can't tell who it belongs. The other party hid in the carriage and couldn't come out, so I don't know who it was."
"What does this mean?" Li Miao glared. He was about to curse, but the old soldier handed over a small cloth bag. Li Miao took it and saw it. His face suddenly changed. He stood up quickly and said in a hurry.
He said, "Hurry, invite people in through the back door, don't let people see them. I'll change my clothes and come."
The old guard looked at the owner who rushed into the inner room like a rabbit, confused. Li Miao was crazy and usually didn't change clothes when he met guests. It was the first time that he was so nervous. The old guard didn't have much trouble.
, and welcomed Xiahou Hui into the back door. Xiahou Hui got out of the car, wearing a hat on his head, covered with a green gauze, and couldn't see clearly. The old guard led her to the hall and brought her tea. Then he stepped back.
Xiahou Hui sat quietly. After a while, Li Miao walked out of the inner room and coughed. "I wonder if Mrs. Xiahou is here, what's the point of doing?"
Xiahou Hui took off his hat and smiled slightly: "Give Mr. Li a chance to change the three dragons of the Li family to the four dragons of the Li family."
Li Miao's eyes tightened: "What else?"
"There is also to prepare a dowry that is worthy for the nephew, Miss Peng, to marry into the Wei family."
Li Miao stroked his beard, pondered for a while, and nodded.
...
The next day, Li Miao, who had been idle for a long time, suddenly wrote a letter to ask for His Majesty the Emperor. He took the initiative to ask to go to Jiangzhou to meet Li Yan. Now the main force of the Shu Han army is fighting against the Wei State in Guanzhong, and the one who can really mobilize is Li Yan's subordinates. If Li
Yan is willing to help, and he will definitely be able to solve this problem.
Liu Chan was very happy and immediately asked Li Miao to go to Jiangzhou. Li Miao traveled day and night, and it took only two days to arrive in Jiangzhou. After listening to Li Miao's words, Li Yan remained silent and made no statement. Li Miao was anxious and went to Jiangzhou.
He pulled Li Yan's sleeve and said, "General Cavalry, the late emperor abandoned the emperor, appointed you as the Central Guardian, governing the military affairs of the inside and outside, and assisting His Majesty with Prime Minister Zhuge. Now the Prime Minister is fighting in Guanzhong, and Wei Ba is in a dangerous situation in Jiaozhou.
Only the general can turn the tide, but the general refuses to take action. Have you forgotten the instructions of the late emperor?"
Li Yan sneered. "Don't use such words to inspire me. Jiaozhou is thousands of miles away from here. How did you know? Besides, I am assisting Your Majesty by the order of the late emperor and asking me to send troops. Where is Your Majesty's order?
”
Li Miao was furious: "Don't you believe Your Majesty's oral edict?"
"You said it was Your Majesty's oral edict, how did I know whether it was true or false? For such a big thing, Your Majesty doesn't even have a single edict. Will you believe it?"
Sweat beads oozing out of Li Miao's forehead. He felt a little reckless. No wonder Li Yan didn't believe him.
Li Miao left in shame. Li Yan smiled and called his son Li Feng to prepare to send troops. Li Feng was puzzled: "Father, don't you believe him? Without His Majesty's order, we
If you are dispatched without authorization, this is a rebellion. What if the Prime Minister is punished?”
"Zhu Zi, don't you know what Your Majesty means? Without His Majesty's oral edict, Li Miao dared to come here? But Li Miao, a fool, didn't even know about a letter of edict, so he rushed over in a hurry.
." He stroked his beard and smiled. "Of course, maybe this was what His Majesty meant. God's will is unpredictable, and we mortals cannot guess."
Li Feng was still puzzled. "Since there is no order from Your Majesty, the Prime Minister will investigate it in the future. How can we explain it? Wouldn't it be that you give someone a handle?"
"I said that if I send troops, I must send troops to Sun Wu? Maybe I'm going to Chengdu to escort food and grass!" Li Yan glared at Li Feng and said unhappily: "You are over thirty years old, why haven't you made any progress at all?"
Li Feng was embarrassed and did not ask any more. He retreated and prepared according to Li Yan's order. For a moment, the Jiangzhou riots were rioted. Wu Guoxiu, who was hiding in Jiangzhou, immediately knew about it and did not dare to neglect it. He immediately passed the news back.
While bluffing, Li Yan gave an order to Yong'an Governor Chen Dao. After receiving the order, Chen Dao also prepared for the war, acted as if he was about to send troops, and even drove the warship to the entrance of the gorge and was ready to go east at any time.
.
...
Li Miao returned to Chengdu in despair, came to Wei's mansion, and told Xiahou Hui about his unfavorable advancement. Xiahou Hui said nothing, prepared a generous gift for Li Miao, and promised him that the Wei family would not be able to do so in the future.
Forget your great kindness.
Li Miao left inexplicably with the gift.
...
The abnormal movement in Yizhou quickly attracted Bu Zhi's attention. Bu Zhi was building a siege cart according to Sun Quan's request and was preparing to regain Lin Yuan. Suddenly, he received news that Li Yan and Chen Dao had abnormal movement, fearing that they would go to the river.
Then he attacked Xiling and rushed straight to the hinterland of Jingzhou. While he was ready, he sent someone to report to Sun Quan urgently.
After receiving Bu Zhi's report, Sun Quan couldn't help but become nervous. The main forces in Jingzhou were all in Linhe. If the Shu Han army came out at this time, Bu Zhi's subordinates could not stop them. Once Xiling was lost, the Shu Han army was likely to
Going downstream and attacking Wuchang, Jingzhou will be completely lost, and the consequences will be far more serious than that of Jiaozhou. Although he was also worried that this was just a suspicious plan of Shu Han, he did not dare to take risks. He immediately summoned Fei Yi and asked him what it meant
.
Fei Yi was confused. He said to Sun Quan, "I didn't receive any orders, maybe you were wrong."
Fei Yi's explanation not only did not relieve Sun Quan, but instead made him even more worried. He was very clear about the power struggle within Shu Han, and also knew that Li Yan wanted to make contributions all the time. Now Zhuge Liang led the main force in Guanzhong and could not control Li Yan.
If Liu Chan ordered Li Yan to support Wei Ba, Li Yan would probably make a big fuss and voluntarily send troops to attack Dongwu, expand the situation, and compete for merit with Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang was in Guanzhong, Yizhou was controlled by Li Yan, if Li Yan wanted to
When he went out of the east, Zhuge Liang did not have enough food and tax support, so he had to withdraw his troops and return without success.
In order to ensure that in case, Sun Quan ordered Bu Zhi not to leave Xiling for the time being, strengthen his defense, and at the same time dispatched troops. Although he did not order Lu Xun to withdraw his troops, he told Lu Xun the news, so that he could be mentally prepared.
Just when Sun Quan was suspicious, news came from Xiangyang: Meng Da was preparing for war, and there was a possibility of sending troops to harass Xiangyang and Wancheng, or sending troops south, it is still unclear. This news further stimulates
Sun Quan, Meng Da and Li Yan belonged to the Dongzhou clan, and they have always been allies, and this time it was likely to be a joint operation. Sun Quan even suspected that this was originally a plan by Zhuge Liang, so that Wei Ba was in the south and Li Yan was in the west.
Meng Da was in the north, attacked three times and regained Jingzhou in one fell swoop. This seemed unlikely, but with Wei Ba's incident in front of him, who would know that Zhuge Liang would not take risks? In order to regain Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang and Li Yan united,
It seems that it is not impossible to catch him off guard.
Under this conjecture, the entire Jingzhou entered a state of preparation for war. This further intensified the demand for grain in Jingzhou. Under pressure, Sun Quan had to let Zhang Wen and Fei Yi reopen the negotiations to delay the time, hoping that Lu Xun could do it before this
Completely defeat Wei Ba, take back Jiaozhou, and relieve the danger of the flanks.
Wei Ba knew nothing about the changes in Jingzhou. At this moment, he was facing Lu Xun's fierce attack. After breaking through four positions, Lu Xun stopped moving forward and instead sent people to siege the mountain where Wei Ba was, and he had to pull out this first
A nail. Wei Ba refused the suggestion of retreat, guarded the mountains and fought with the Wu army in person. The battle was extremely fierce. Under the cruel military order of Lu Xun, who had advance but not retreat, under the temptation of killing Wei Ba and becoming a marquis and generals, Wu army
As if he was crazy, he launched wave after wave of attacks on the positions on the mountains.
The two sides launched a life-and-death battle on the narrow mountains. The Shu Han army had the advantage of geographical advantages and sufficient weapons. In addition, Wei Ba personally went on a battle to kill the enemy, boosted morale and fought very tenaciously. Although the Wu army fought to the death, it was just
He was unable to take the position. After more than ten days of hard fighting and more than 4,000 casualties, he finally stopped.
Lu Xun glanced at Shanling from afar, stood up without saying a word, walked off the podium, and returned to his tent. He asked someone to invite Pan Jun from the rear camp and Zhuge Ke from the left camp, and asked someone to call him
Zhu Ji came, without any politeness, and said straight to the point: "Tomorrow, I will launch the final attack. Win or lose in this way. I need your support."
