Wei Ba was very surprised when he saw Yinfan again. After hearing what Yinfan conveyed, Wei Ba's face became even uglier. He looked at Yinfan coldly and said coldly: "It seems that I have some good intentions for Yinjun.
They were all thrown into the river by Yinjun."
Yinfan smiled slightly: "General, you did truthfully report what I saw and learned to General Hussar. Look, didn't General Hussar arrange a capable assistant for you?"
"Assistant? Chen is here. Should I help him or he help me?" Wei Ba was furious and walked away with his sleeves. His voice came from far away: "Jun Xianyin went to Xiangyang with me and faced General Hussar face to face.
explain."
When Yinfan heard this, his face suddenly turned pale. In five days, he had traveled thousands of miles back and forth, and he was so tired that all his bones were about to fall apart. Wei Ba still wanted to drag him to Xiangyang?
Yinfan wanted to explain, but Wei Ba's shadow could not be seen. Ding Fenghan stood in front of him with a sullen face. It was obvious that he had regarded him as an unwelcome person, and it was impossible to take a step forward.
Yinfan had no choice but to go back to the post house to stay, seize the time to rest, and prepare to face more difficult challenges. Although he was young and usually paid attention to exercise, running such a long distance could not be done again, and he could not run with Wei Ba again.
He couldn't guarantee whether he could survive the trip to Xiangyang.
Fortunately, although Wei Ba said something fierce, he did not set off immediately. Yinfan stayed in the post house for a few days and received news from Xizuo lurking in Linyuan. In the past two days, Wei Ba had been in close contact with the Wu people.
It was so tight that the messenger could not move back and forth on the road, as if he was studying something important.
After hearing this news, Yinfan thought of what Li Yan had mentioned inadvertently. After putting these pieces of information together, and with Chen Dao revealing a little bit of information, he had already roughly guessed what Wei Ba's plan was.
What.
Yinfan was surprised and happy. What surprised him was that Wei Ba was so bold that he would come up with such an idea and take risks. But it was precisely because of the risk that this was the real surprise, just like when Cao Zhi broke into Guanzhong and almost reversed the Battle of Guanzhong
The situation is the same. If Wei Ba really takes advantage of the Wu Kingdom and breaks into the hinterland of Wei State, it may have an immeasurable impact on the war situation in Nanyang. Fortunately, this plan is too risky. If anything goes wrong, Wei Ba will go
No reply.
Li Yan agreed to this plan, probably not just to teach him a lesson, but because he was suspected of using a borrowed knife to kill someone.
Yinfan did not object to this plan. On the contrary, he very much hoped that this plan could be realized. Since he knew this plan, there would be nothing surprising about Wei Ba. And if Wei State laid a trap for this, there would be a great chance to capture Wei Ba.
Dominating this big fish caused Wei to lose Guanzhong.
If you want to kill Wei Ba, this is undoubtedly a very good opportunity.
Yinfan thought about it, wrote a secret letter, and conveyed this important news. In order to express the importance, he used the most urgent channel.
Three days later, Wei Ba set off with a battalion of 3,000 guards. They took a boat and transferred from Yuan River to Dongting Lake. When they were in Dongting Lake, the fleet stopped for two days. Wei Ba did not tell Yinfan any reason, or even
Neither of them saw Yinfan. Two days later, when Wei Ba appeared in front of Yinfan again, his face was very ugly and his eyes were like a hungry wolf, which made Yinfan increase his vigilance.
Based on the geographical location, Yinfan estimated that Wei Ba had been in contact with the Wu people in the past two days and made some important decisions, and this decision might be very unfavorable to him and made him very unhappy.
After leaving Dongting, Wei Ba turned to the Yangtze River, went up the river, and landed at Jiangling. He met Chen Dao who was ordered to come to support. Chen Dao only brought 3,000 troops, part of which were the White Men's Army. Although the number was not large.
, but his military appearance is very neat, especially the white yak leather ornament hanging from his ear, which is very impressive.
The White Qiang Army is mainly composed of Western Qiang people. Different from unofficial historical records, this is an elite guard battalion established only after Liu Bei entered Yizhou.
Rong, with the custom of being ashamed of illness and death, was very brave in battle. The Battle of Hanzhong was the most shining moment of the Bai Qian Army.
At this moment, in the Battle of Yiling, Liu Bei was able to escape from death thanks to the brave fighting of the White Eye Army. However, after that battle, the White Eye Army suffered heavy losses, and Liu Bei soon died of illness. This elite force quickly lost its status. Now
Only a few thousand people were left, and they followed Chen Dao to garrison Yong'an, giving them no chance of protecting the new emperor.
Prior to this, Chen Dao had asked Bai Jian to lead two hundred white men to support Wei Ba. The bravery of the white men left a deep impression on Wei Ba.
Seeing Wei Ba again, Chen Dao made no secret of his envy. "We haven't seen him for two years. Ziyu is like a dragon lurking in the abyss, and a young phoenix trying to sing. Elder brother Wen has a son like this, which makes others envious."
Wei Ba did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute Chen Dao. He was the Zhennan General, an important general on the outside, but Chen Dao was a guard army and a member of the Forbidden Army system. In terms of power, he may not be as powerful as him, and in terms of dignity,
But he is not inferior to him at all. What's more, Chen Dao, Zhao Yun, and Wei Yan all once served as Liu Bei's personal guards. Chen Dao's qualifications are not as good as Zhao Yun, but he is much older than Wei Yan.
"It's gratifying that the general is still as strong as ever. It's a shame to have to work for the general this time."
"Hahaha..." Chen Dao laughed heartily: "My hair is about to turn gray after staying in Yong'an. It's good to be able to go out and do some activities." He turned around and looked at the white men soldiers and sighed: "This is the case.
It is the greatest tragedy for a strong man to die on the bed instead of on the battlefield. They are all very grateful to the general for giving him such an opportunity."
"Ahem!" Wei Ba coughed awkwardly, turned around, pulled Yinfan from the crowd, and introduced to Chen Dao: "This is the Qingzhou hero, Yinfan Yin Yuanfeng, the general's tongue and tongue."
Chen Dao's eyes turned cold and he nodded slightly, but said nothing. Yinfan knew that he was a descendant and a member of Li Yan's family. It was normal not to be treated by these people. He bowed and silently stepped aside.
.Looking at Wei Ba pulling Chen Dao into the car, the two of them were whispering to each other, but they could not hear clearly what they were saying.
The next day, Wei Ba set off again, but Chen Dao did not accompany him. He stayed in Jiangling temporarily. Wei Ba did not say the reason, and Yinfan could not ask, so he could only follow Wei Ba towards Xiangyang.
There were no words all the way. After passing Yicheng, we entered the territory originally controlled by the Wei army. Although Xiangyang had been captured by Li Yan, there were still a large number of Wei soldiers here. Wei Ba brought three thousand guards, but he still didn't dare
To his surprise, he notified Li Yan in advance and requested that Zhao Tong and his army be sent to meet him. When he arrived at Yicheng, Zhao Tong had already set up a camp and was waiting for him.
As soon as they met, Wei Ba entered Zhao Tong's Chinese army camp. Yinfan was not qualified to enter, so he could only watch from a distance calmly. After a while, he saw another young man who was dressed luxuriously and looked arrogant.
The woman, escorted by several soldiers, walked straight into the Chinese military tent.
Yinfan's heart moved, and he suddenly smiled and said: "This woman is so beautiful, I don't know whose family she is."
A guard nearby heard this and shouted sternly: "This is General Zhao's concubine. The real princess of Wu. Be careful with your tongue and eyes."
Yinfan smiled slightly, but with a serious look on his face, he quickly bowed and thanked him: "Thank you for reminding me, I almost got into trouble."
The guard also softened his expression. He glanced at Yinfan and said nothing. Yinfan glanced at the attendant next to him calmly, then turned and entered the tent. After a short time, the attendant walked in and whispered:
"A messenger left the camp and headed east."
Yinfan nodded. Heading east instead of south, naturally heading to Wuchang by water, and then contacting the time of the appearance of Princess Sun Luban of the Kingdom of Wu, this is obviously the connection between Wei Ba and Sun Quan.
Yinfan laughed. Although Wei Ba and Li Yan tried their best to conceal it, he finally saw the clues. He immediately wrote another secret letter and found an opportunity to send it out.
…
Fancheng.
Sima Yi spread the two secret letters that arrived one after another on the table, looked at the one on the left, and then looked at the one on the right.
Brother Sima sat in front of him and looked at him without saying a word.
"Ziyuan, Zishang, how much truth or falsehood do you think this matter has?"
Sima Zhao was silent and seemed unsure. However, Master Sima smiled and said: "This risky tactic does seem to be Wei Ba's idea. Taking this opportunity to ask for rewards from Zhuge Liang and Li Yan, I took advantage of this opportunity."
Making profits is also like his character. However, Zhuge Liang and Li Yan are not good people. One sent Zhao Yun and the other Chen Dao. They were both veterans who followed Liu Bei in the past. I think Wei Ba is the best this time.
You have trapped yourself in a cocoon, and you will be blamed for it.”
Sima Yi's eyes flashed, but he didn't speak. He just looked at Master Sima quietly.
"Of course we cannot take it lightly." Sima Shi continued: "Chen Dao is from Runan and is familiar with the terrain of Runan. Li Yan assigned Chen Dao to Wei Ba. In addition to containing Wei Ba, I am afraid he also used Chen Dao.
possibility of success
.If Chen Dao takes advantage of Jiangxia, enters Yuzhou, and plunders our farmland, it will be a disaster. From this point of view, Chen Dao's appearance is probably not random, and he has indeed prepared for this plan.
possible."
Sima Yi nodded, but still didn't speak. Sima Zhao suddenly blushed and said, "But Yuzhou is flat and there is no hiding place. Once discovered by our army, there will be no return."
"What's wrong with going back and forth?" Sima Shi said with a smile: "Wei Ba is dead, do you think Li Yan will shed a tear? Do you think Zhuge Liang won't breathe a sigh of relief? He may blame Li Yan for this, but
It's not for Wei Ba's sake. Wei Ba overestimates his own capabilities and wants to fight for big things with small things, but he doesn't know that neither Zhuge Liang nor Li Yan can shake him. If he doesn't know how to be patient and wait for the opportunity, if he insists on going wild, he will only suffer unexpected consequences.
disaster."
"So, you think this might be true?"
"At least 70% sure." Master Sima frowned and pondered for a long time: "According to this, there is likely to be a war in Jianghuai. The thousands of miles long front line is very detrimental to our army. If this battle cannot be huge,
Victory, we..."
"We may not only lose Guanzhong, but also Nanyang." Sima Yi wiped his beard and said calmly: "Wei Ba is an abandoned son, and you and I may also be abandoned sons. The current situation is similar to when Guan Yu invaded Xiangyang.
But the national power of our great Wei Dynasty
But it is not as good as before. King Chen just died in Guanzhong, Cao Zhen was seriously ill and couldn't bear it, Yu Jin was mad to death by the late emperor, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, and Yue Jin all died of illness. The only thing left in His Majesty's hands is Zhang He's sharp sword. It's a pity.
, this sword has been killing for too long and is no longer as sharp as before."
Sima Yi's eyes swept across the faces of his two sons: "By guarding Fancheng, we are the greatest contributors to this war. As for the credit for chasing Wei Ba, let it be given to Zhang He. It is our gift to him. Can he succeed?
