Only then did Sun Luban realize who the impudent little girl in front of her was. She had long heard that a little devil came to Linyuan with a profound background. He was a secret agent of His Majesty the Emperor of Shu Han and was sent to see what delicious food there was in Jingzhou.
What’s interesting is that she is the daughter of the old chariot general and the sister of the current queen. She is a close friend with Wei Ba’s wife Guan Feng, a cousin with Wei Ba’s concubine Xia Houhui, and a close friend with Wei Ba’s sister Wei Yinglan.
No one dares to mess with the good sister who makes oil in Linyuan City.
Unexpectedly, this little devil came to the door of a big devil like her today, and even called her a wild princess in front of her for so many years. Sun Luban suddenly jumped three feet high, rolled up his sleeves and started to curse,
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhao Tongtong coughed, stretched out his arms to pick up Sun Luban, turned around and left the cabin, saying as he walked: "Madam, the ship is sailing."
"No, let me come down. I want to decide the outcome with her."
Zhao Tong's face turned into a tiger: "She is a child. You have already given birth to a child. She is not something to be proud of if you win, but it is a shame and humiliation if you lose. If you are not afraid of embarrassment, just go out and stay in Linyuan no matter you win or lose. There will be many things in the future."
Opportunity to discuss with her."
Upon hearing that she was asked to stay in Linyuan, Sun Luban immediately softened. She rolled her eyes and felt that Zhao Tong was right, but she was still unconvinced: "I can't just be scolded by her like this."
"There are many opportunities for revenge. Everything will wait until I have made a contribution." Zhao Tong changed his smile: "This is the only big deal now, don't you think?"
Sun Luban nodded reluctantly, patted Zhao Tong's face, pouted, and said coquettishly: "Husband, you must make great contributions. If you surpass Wei Ba, you won't have to be bullied by him in the future."
"Then it depends on whether your father keeps his promise." Zhao Tong sighed, "My mission is difficult. I have to bring ten thousand people and a large amount of food and grass to march in the territory of your Wu Kingdom, but my subordinates just
It's another barbarian who doesn't deal with the Wu people. If there is a slight mistake, it may lead to a big disaster. I will be satisfied if nothing happens. How can I talk about meritorious service."
"Then don't be afraid, I'm here." Sun Luban patted his chest and took care of everything. "Don't worry, my father can let Wei Ba enter Nanjun. Can he still stop you? This land is my territory.
My uncle is in charge. As long as your subordinates don't go too far, no one will dare to stop you."
Zhao Tong nodded. When marching in the territory of Wu State, Wei Ba gave him this important task and asked Sun Luban to accompany him. It was because the person in charge of this area was the defense area of Sun Luban's grandson Zubu Zhao. There was Sun Luban on his side.
An unreasonable sign. Even if something happens, Bu Zhao will have to take care of it.
"Madam, I really have to rely on you this time." Zhao Tong's face started to heat up, and he secretly scolded Wei Ba for being so wicked and asking him to pull off a beauty trick. If word of this spreads out, he will be laughed to death by those people. "Wei Ba said.
When the time comes, I will use your identity to give me a great achievement."
"Really?" Sun Luban's eyes lit up: "That's great. As long as you can make meritorious service, I can do anything."
At the dock, Guan Feng walked up to Wei Ba, glared at Zhang Xingcai, who was as aggressive as a little hen, and said with some worry: "Husband, will there be any problems if you leave this unruly princess with Zhao Tong?"
"No problem." Wei Ba said with a bad smile: "She is a simple-minded person. In order to be with Zhao Tong, she can even give up her status as the head wife. There is nothing else she can't do. Let me tell you, if you want to
To win this battle, I have to count on her."
"Then when will you set off? I will go with you."
"Me?" Wei Ba looked at Guan Feng and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, this battle has to be fought. If there is a chance, we will take action. If there is no chance, we will just watch from the sidelines." He sighed again.
: "They are all too impatient. They can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."
When Guan Feng heard this, she also sighed. She didn't know that the time for this war was not ripe, but it was triggered by internal struggles. Such wars usually have no good results.
…
Zhang He took the edict and stood up dejectedly, unable to hide the disappointment in his eyes.
He did not expect to receive an edict asking him to move to Nanyang at this time.
The autumn harvest in Guanzhong has been completed, and Zhuge Liang is getting ready to go to rescue Xiaoguan soon. It is the best time for him to lay siege to the city for reinforcements and severely damage Zhuge Liang near Xiaoguan. Zhuge Liang now has more than 20,000 troops, and he has also mobilized the Zhenbei University
General Wei Yan has a total force of nearly 30,000, all of which are infantry. They have traveled more than 300 miles to come here, and he has more than 30,000 people and 12,000 cavalry. Even if Zhuge Liang is good at positional warfare, he still has greater confidence.
Defeat Zhuge Liang.
What's more, he knew very well that Zhuge Liang only had this little strength left, and he didn't dare to fight against him at all.
This was the best opportunity to enter Guanzhong. All he needed was a batch of food and grass. However, His Majesty the Emperor did not send him food and grass, but instead sent him an edict asking him to lead an army to reinforce Nanyang.
He did not argue. He knew that His Majesty the Emperor had given him the opportunity, but he failed to seize it. Now that the Shu Han army had sent troops to Xiangyang and Nanyang was in danger, His Majesty the Emperor asked him to temporarily abandon Guanzhong and reinforce Nanyang, but he had no choice but to do so.
"General..." Tian Yu hesitated. He knew as well as Zhang He that with Zhang He's departure, the best opportunity to regain Guanzhong would be lost.
"Guorang, no need to say more." Zhang He patted Tian Yu's hand: "When we get to Wancheng, I will apologize to His Majesty the Emperor. You and General Qin will cooperate well, especially pay attention to Bu Dugen, Kebi Neng and those people. They
They are just a pack of wolves. No matter how docile they usually seem, once something happens in the Central Plains, they will show their fangs and bite you hard. Since Guanzhong is temporarily unavailable, we might as well spend some energy to clean up the rear."
Tian Yu sighed and nodded.
Qin Lang also came up and said goodbye to Zhang He. He didn't talk much, but he was very sincere. During this period, he learned a lot about how to use troops from Zhang He and benefited a lot.
Two days later, Zhang He hurried to Nanyang with Tian Fu and ten thousand fine cavalry. Tian Yu and Qin Lang discussed it and felt that they could not conquer Xiao Pass with only the remaining troops, so they had to regretfully give up the attack on Xiao Pass.
Surrounded and retreated to Yuzhong.
Zhuge Liang, who was on his way to Xiaoguan, received the news and let out a long breath. Although he led his troops to rescue him, he really didn't want to confront Zhang He. Zhang He could do anything to enter the pass, but he couldn't.
Go all out. He only has these main forces now. Li Yan has decided to launch the Battle of Xiangyang. It is impossible to add another soldier to him. Once the losses are too large, Guanzhong will have no troops to defend, and his Northern Expedition will also be completely defeated.
, next, there will inevitably be a storm of attacks in the court.
Nowadays, a major crisis has been resolved because of Li Yan's fight for merit. He can safely farm in Guanzhong, manage Guanzhong with heart, and then watch Li Yan's battle of Xiangyang with a cold eye.
Zhuge Liang asked Wei Yan to return to Chang'an immediately. Zhao Yun left Guanzhong, and Chang'an only had Ma Su and Deng Zhi. The strength was seriously insufficient. If another Cao Zhi-style desperado appeared in the Wei army, there would be big trouble.
The Battle of Guanzhong, which lasted for more than a year, quietly ended in an unexpected way.
…
In the ninth year of the Jianxing of the Shu Han Dynasty and the fifth year of the Taihe period of the Wei Dynasty, in October, Li Yan, the hussar general of the Shu Han Dynasty, led 50,000 troops and surrounded Xiangyang City. The attention of the world once again focused on the center of the intersection of the Three Kingdoms: Xiangyang.
Li Yan climbed a hill to the west of the city and overlooked Xiangyang City. Xiangyang and Fancheng faced each other across the water, with a pontoon bridge in the middle. That year, Wei Ba first used a trick to capture Fancheng, and then used the captured building ship to
The floating bridge was destroyed, turning Xiangyang into an isolated city. Lu Xun saw the hope of breaking the city, so he launched a fierce attack and almost captured Xiangyang City. Now that the war has resumed, the situation is very different from what Wei Ba encountered at the beginning.
Although the Wei State rebuilt the Xiangyang Navy, its strength was not as good as before. The Shu Han Dynasty had a technologically advanced Hanzhong Navy consisting of more than ten large ships, which was capable of overwhelming the Wei Army's Xiangyang Navy in terms of quantity and technology. This pontoon bridge was already in danger.
.
"Wen Ju, Zhong Jian, do you have any thoughts about this situation?" Li Yan pointed to the Han River in the distance with his riding crop, and showed a rare smile: "Have you ever thought of anything?"
After several years of experience, Feng Jin and Fu Xing have become much more stable. In order to make themselves look more mature, they have grown thick beards over the years, and they look like they are in their early thirties. Seeing Li Yan talking to them so politely,
Feng Jin quickly bowed and saluted: "Back then, General Chariot and Cavalry and General Zhendong were commanding us. The younger generation and I were fighting to defeat Cao Wei. It still makes people excited to think about it. This time General Chariot and Cavalry will take action, and we will definitely be better than before."
Li Yan chuckled and turned to look at Meng Da next to him: "Zidu, are you confident?"
Meng Da smiled silently: "Although General Chariot and Cavalry is still ill and cannot participate in the battle, of course he is more confident with General Chariot and Cavalry here. However, General Chariot and Cavalry seems to have forgotten that besides General Chariot and Cavalry, there is still one missing here.
He was the hero back then, and the biggest hero."
Feng Jin and Fu Xing looked at each other and looked at each other. Meng Da was giving Wei Ba eye drops. Li Yan had already arrived in Xiangyang, but Wei Ba had not arrived yet. I don’t know what it meant. If Li Yan felt that
If he is arrogant and insulting, it will be difficult to handle. Li Yan is a very respectable person.
Sure enough, the smile on Li Yan's face disappeared, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Where is Wei Ba?"
Yinfan stepped forward overnight: "General, the latest news we received is that Huwei Zhonglang General Zhao Tong has led an army of 10,000 people, escorting grain and grass, and is on his way. As for Wei Ba... it seems that he is still in Linyuan."
"This is a bit outrageous." Li Yan said in a deep voice: "The newly married Zhao Tong has almost arrived, why hasn't Wei Ba come yet? Could it be that his family has arrived in Linyuan and has worn away the person's will, or is it in his eyes
Only the prime minister and the cavalry general?"
Fu Xing hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and saluted with clasped fists: "General, since Wei Ba sent Commander Zhao to lead his troops to transport food, and he himself was late for a while, he must have his own reasons..."
"Zhong Jian, you don't know. Although Wei Ba sent Zhao Tong here, he does not approve of the battle of Xiangyang. In my opinion, he is probably not optimistic about this war." Li Yan glanced majestically.
Circle: "I would like to know if we can win Xiangyang without Wei Ba, and if you can all try your best like last time."
Fu Xing and others were taken aback and said quickly: "I hope the general will obey, because it will be the work of the general."
"Wrong, I came here on His Majesty's orders." Li Yan said sadly: "You are serving His Majesty, please remember this." (To be continued...)
