As one of the four friends of the prince, Zhuge Ke's official position was not very high, but he was very famous and favored by Sun Quan. Therefore, even if ordinary people don't like him, they will not conflict with him. However, Lu Xun is a relatively alternative.
He was overwhelmed by Zhuge Ke in fame, official position, prestige, age, and knowledge. He never used his color to the so-called four friends of the prince. Perhaps he felt that Gu Tan, one of the four friends of his juniors, was
His nephew, not to be too lenient, has scolded these people a lot, and Zhuge Ke, who is the most popular, is of course focusing on the target.
But today he was choked by Zhuge Ke's words. Didn't you rest at home and study? How could you still know that Zhang He came to Xinye from Guanzhong and had 10,000 cavalry?
At home, he is unemployed but cares about military and political affairs, and knows so meticulously that this kind of thing is very common, but it cannot be said in public. At this moment, Zhuge Ke picked out this matter, but Lu Xun really couldn't explain it. Sun Quan has always been afraid of him.
If you ask him about the prestige in the army again for the crime of spying on military aircraft, although it would not kill him, the thorn would definitely be stuck deeper in your heart.
Lu Xun looked at Zhuge Ke with some surprise. At this time, he realized that Zhuge Ke was different from before. Zhuge Ke was very arrogant in front of others, but he was always very restrained in front of him. What's wrong with this today? Lu Xun's heart
I felt a sense of frustration. Could it be that I lost tens of thousands of elite soldiers in the battle of Linhe, and I have become an optional idle person. Even juniors like Zhuge Ke don’t take me seriously.
Lu Xun remained silent, his temples jumped randomly.
Sun Quan noticed the awkward atmosphere, he coughed and asked again: "Boyan, do you think Wei Ba's move has other intentions?"
Lu Xunqiang pressed his anger and bowed: "King. At the beginning, my minister suggested that Wei Ba enter Nanjun and cooperate with Li Yan to fight with the Wei army, but it was just a matter of sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight. Let Wei Ba fight with the Wei army, which can be alleviated.
The pressure of our army can make the situation in Xiangyang more complicated. Nanyang is the gateway to the Central Plains. In order to defend Nanyang, the Wei army will inevitably counterattack strongly. No matter what the final victory or defeat, the strength of both sides will be weakened. It is not certain that it will be fine.
It can create opportunities for us.”
Lu Xun paused and said, "Entering Nanjun, even if he stayed there, it would not cause much harm to us. Instead, it would give us a chance to attack him. The navy cut off the Yangtze River and could trap him in Nanjun and walk in
West, the king leads the main force in the east, and it will definitely be annihilated. But if Wei Ba does not enter the battlefield of Princess Nan, but enters the hinterland of Jiangxia, what if he has other sinister intentions, what if he does?"
"Boyan. I am so worried." Sun Quan nodded with the same feeling and looked at Pan Jun again: "The same is true for Chengming, but Yuan Xun's words also have his own reasons. If Wei Ba enters the hinterland of Jiangxia,
First, it can indeed be effective as a surprise weapon. Cao Rui is even more at ease, and we may have the opportunity to attack Jianghuai. Second, Wei Ba is in a desperate situation and has to make friends with me. Maybe we can get more benefits from him.
”
Sun Quan pondered for a moment, his eyes became fierce: "When necessary, maybe we can turn him into the second Guan Yu."
Lu Xun was startled by Sun Quan's gaze. Then he said, "Wei Ba is cautious, would he not think of this?"
"Don't the general of the auxiliary country knows that the virtuous power is ignorant?" Zhuge Ke smiled and said: "Aren't there many wise men suffering from this and missing the opportunity? Wei Ba is also a human being. He knew that the time for the Northern Expedition was not ripe, but he still tried his best. If this is not the worst way forward, what if it happens?”
"I think it's not Wei Ba who is confused by Li Ling, but someone else." Lu Xun shouted sternly. He had already clearly felt something in Zhuge Ke's tone. It was not the first time he had heard such rumors, but he hadn't used to have them. It’s just that people dare to say this to Sun Quan. Today, Zhuge Ke seemed to be crazy and repeatedly solicited Sun Quan. It’s tolerant, but who is unbearable.
Zhuge Ke smiled and stepped aside. Sun Quan frowned and shouted: "Yuan Xun, you are tired, go out for a rest."
"Here." Zhuge Keruo looked at Lu Xun with a deep meaning, saluted Pan Jun, turned around and walked out. Lu Xun was angry at his glance. He was about to get angry when Sun Quan patted his arm: Bo Yan, you can't read at home, you have to come out to have a good mood. Sitting for a long time hurts the kidneys, and the kidneys are the foundation of their nature, so you should take good care of them. There are many things that I rely on Bo Yan, and Bo Yan wants to It is to cherish yourself for the country."
Lu Xun knew that he was incompetent and breathed a long sigh: "Master, I think this strategy is very suspicious, which is very inappropriate."
Sun Quan's eyes flashed, and he remembered the sentence that was said to be Wei Ba and conveyed by Zhuge Ke: "Lu Xun was too cautious in using troops and used his own selfishness to avoid the foundation of his ministers from the Eastern Wu, Jianghuai, and thus rose. , I must not agree with this plan." He said unwillingly: "Boyan, this is a great opportunity to annihilate Wei Ba."
"I know, I must also know." Lu Xun advised with great sincerity: "King, do you think Wei Ba is a stubborn person like Guan Yu? Although he is young, he is always very cautious and cautious. Zhuge Liang and Li Yan have different factions. People enter Jingzhou and Jiaozhou, but it is difficult for someone to take over the power? Zhao Yun came to Jingzhou and seemed to be the guard of Wei Ba, but the Zhao family's father and son are in power. Will Wei Ba still dare to leave Jiangnan easily? This must be a plan by Wei Ba, the king Don't be tempted by him."
Sun Quan looked slightly, and the flames in his eyes slowly dimmed. He was silent for a long time, but he didn't say a word, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Looking at his gradually cold eyes, Lu Xun had an ominous premonition.
After following Sun Quan for many years, he knew very well what Sun Quan's look meant.
...
Wei Ba looked at Yin Fan who came to the hall and sighed: "I really want to kill you now."
Yin Fan was stunned and then smiled. Since Wei Ba said that, it means that Wei Ba could not kill him now, and his life was finally saved. During this period, he couldn't sleep well every day, for fear that Wei Ba would get angry for a while. Get up, kill him regardless of it.
"General, you will understand how wrong your current thoughts are in the future." Yin Fan said half-true and half-false.
Wei Ba smiled and said, "Don't follow me to do this. I can see your true face clearly." He pointed to a letter on the case: "General Cavalry misses you, and sent him specially. Someone will pick you up."
Yinfan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and walked over. He picked up the letter and read it. In addition to asking Wei Ba to arrange for Yinfan to return to Xiangyang as soon as possible, he also urged him to lead his troops to Xiangyang to participate in the war. Li Yan said,
Xiangyang has been conquered, and next, he will be heading north and heading straight to Wancheng, which requires Wei Ba's help.
Li Yan's tone seemed polite, but in fact it was very strict. The implication was that if Wei Ba did not go, then the responsibility for giving up the war halfway was Wei Ba. Seeing this content, Yin Fan roughly understood that Wei Ba's attitude was like this today.
The reason is OK.
"What does the general need me to do?" Yin Fan raised his head and looked at Wei Ba calmly.
"I hope you will report the situation you have seen to General Cavalry truthfully." Wei Ba stared at Yinfan's eyes and said slowly: "You have also seen the food that can be transported. I am already transporting, can
More than half of the troops have been transferred, and I can only mobilize at most 10,000 people now. The General of the Cavalry has 60,000 people. No matter how many more I have, it will not be of great effect, and I will not be able to make any contribution. Instead, I have to
General Cavalry divided me some of them, which was really not very cost-effective for General Cavalry. Please give me some more time and wait until I raise some more troops from other places. Then I will definitely go to help General Cavalry in person."
Wei Ba said very slowly, so he naturally wanted to give Yinfan time to understand the meaning. In fact, he was obviously too worried about doing this. Although Yinfan's martial arts are poor, his mind is very flexible. As soon as Wei Ba said that, he understood
Wei Ba means: I want food. Another point is that I need soldiers, but I have no more. If you want me to go, you have to give me some benefits.
This is what Wei Ba asked him to tell Li Yan. What he said to let him report truthfully was just a lie and polite word.
Yin Fan laughed secretly, thinking that this man was really brave enough to bargain with Li Yan at this time. If it weren't for this, he probably wouldn't have been at the high position of General Zhennan at the age of just in his early twenties.
He was granted a title of marquis and generals. Most people only know that his mechanical skills are famous all over the world, but they don’t know that his scheming is even more unfathomable.
Of course, no one can match his arrogance. He dared to threaten Li Yan. He didn't know that he had provoked the person he couldn't provoke. This is probably the so-called "savvy" and "smart" that Wei Ba cannot avoid the vulgarity.
"Okay, I will tell the General Cavalry truthfully."
"Then I'll thank you, Yin Jun." Wei Ba waved his hand and bell brought a brocade plate. On the plate was a piece of green jade flask and a few beautiful and suffocating green feathers. You can tell at a glance that
It is a valuable thing. "The Ming-Cuiyu feather produced in Jiaozhou is the best-selling product in Luoyang recently. It is given to Yinjun. If Yinfan has the opportunity to return to Luoyang in the future, he will know that I am not a stingy person."
Yin Fan heard a strong helplessness from Wei Ba's tone. He glanced at Wei Ba and couldn't help laughing.
"Then I'll be disrespectful." Yin Fan put away the gift and left. No matter whether he loves money or not, he must accept this gift. Only after he accepts it will Wei Ba feel at ease.
Seeing Yinfan walking out, Lingdang took a long time to look back and said reluctantly: "Young Master, is it a loss to give such good Yu Yan and Cui Yu to this scholar?"
Wei Ba gave her a blank look: "You want it, but you dare not tell her wife?"
"Who said I wanted it?" Lingdang looked around and said to him: "Who made my rumor?"
"Stop looking for it." Wei Ba held back his smile: "That's the bait I gave out. If you don't have a lot of money, how can you catch a big fish? If you want it, let Ding Feng hurry up and practice martial arts and wait for the formation.
, After making contributions, I will reward him with more and better Ming Qing Cuiyu, anyway, I will send it to my house in the future. What if you don't want it..."
Before Wei Ba finished speaking, Lingdang's face turned red, covered her face with a tray, twisted her waist and ran away. Ding Feng just happened to come over, and when he heard Wei Ba's words, he stood at the stairs awkwardly, but his eyes couldn't help but act.
The glance in the direction where the bell disappeared.
"What are you looking at?" Wei Ba coughed majesticly and woke Ding Feng up: "Don't you behave inappropriately?"
