In the initial plan, although Li Yan had the plan to fight a battle with Sun Quan, that was the worst plan. Once the war started, the Shu Han army had an advantage, but did not have an overwhelming advantage. They killed one thousand enemies and injured themselves.
Eight hundred is inevitable, not to mention the possibility of defeat. For example, Meng Da is completely likely to be Lu Xun's opponent. Whether it is military strength or personal ability to use troops, Meng Da has no chance of winning against Lu Xun. If Wei will start the war,
Ba was striving for a long time, but Meng Da was defeated. For him, this was definitely not a perfect ending.
The best plan is to force Sun Quan to bow his head without actually starting a war and win without fighting. For him, the most satisfactory result is to avoid the possibility of failure and get what he wants.
However, Sun Quan's tenacity exceeded Li Yan's imagination. When Wei Ba's 70,000 troops were approaching and once the war started, he might lose the victory of the Jianghuai battlefield, Sun Quan still refused to bow his head. The situation intensified day by day, according to this.
The situation is that the possibility of war starting on the first day of October is getting greater and greater.
Li Yan was uneasy. After carefully analyzing the current situation, he believed that this might be related to Wei Ba's failure to do his best. So far, Wei Ba has only dispatched the standing troops and reserves of the three counties of Jingzhou, but has not sent the seven Jiaozhou.
The county's troops. If the troops from Jiaozhou are transferred and another 20,000 to 30,000 people are added, Sun Quan may be able to bow his head.
For this reason, Li Yan wrote a secret letter to Li Feng, asking him to rush to Xiangguan in person and then negotiate with Wei Ba.
Wei Ba warmly received Li Feng. After drinking and chatting, Li Feng made his own suggestions in a roundabout way, hoping that Wei Ba could transfer some more troops from Jiaozhou.
Wei Ba was very surprised: "Why do we have to mobilize another army? Seventy thousand people are not enough?"
"If war really goes to start, it is not a problem to believe that with the general's ability to use military force, it is impossible to conquer Changsha. I am very confident in the general, but Sun Quan obviously has not yet recognized the situation in front of him. He seems to be still waiting and watching." Li Feng
Put down the wine glass and looked at Wei Ba with some begging: "General, once the war begins, the creatures will slaughter the charcoal. I don't know how many people will die. It is better not to fight for the people's plan. If the general can transfer another 20,000 to 30,000 elite soldiers
Come on, maybe Sun Quan can only bow his head.”
Wei Ba pondered for a moment, raised his eyebrows: "So. The Major General is not planning to start a war?"
Li Feng nodded awkwardly.
Wei Ba was a little unhappy. He turned the wine glass in his hand and his eyes flashed. Fa Miao coughed and explained: "Major General. It seems that you have some differences in your understanding of the general's orders. General Zhennan has always believed that the general
He wanted to send troops to conquer, so he did not arrange all his troops around Changsha. What he was worried about was that Sun Quan did not dare to fight and compromise."
Li Feng almost cried. He had no choice. Li Yan's letter also surprised him very much. He originally thought that Li Yan wanted to start a war, but he thought that this was a good opportunity for him to master the two legions, so he was so arrogant.
Now that time is approaching, I am soft and want to win without a fight. It is beyond his expectations and even makes him unable to explain to Wei Ba the reason behind this change in attitude.
"Since the major general is polite to the people, I can't be a military man." Wei Ba smiled reluctantly: "Then like this, the major general talks with Sun Quan again, hoping that he can recognize the situation in time and not resist stubbornly. Then, both jade and stones are burned.
It's too late to regret."
Li Feng was puzzled: "If the general doesn't increase his troops, can the problem be solved by talking?"
"It's not that I won't increase my troops, but my soldiers have been sent out." Wei Ba blinked: "Major General, go and say this to Fei Yi, I believe he will understand. If he understands, Sun Quan will
Understood."
...
Li Feng returned to Linyuan and immediately invited Fei Yi to see him.
Fei Yi was very puzzled. He was in a state of being a so-called soybean for this negotiation and did not want to express any opinions. If you want to fight, then fight. If you want to talk, then talk. Anyway, I won’t get involved. Li Feng
He was suddenly invited to meet him, and he couldn't guess the situation.
"Fei Jun, do you want to fight or to fight?"
Fei Yi frowned: "Major General, can I decide this?"
Li Feng didn't take his words and said bluntly: "If you want to fight, then you don't have to do anything, and the war will begin soon. If you want to not fight, you are probably the only one who can stop this war now.
There is a little possibility."
Fei Yi was even more puzzled and smiled slightly, "Can I stop it? The Major General's orders are not more useful than my words? Can Wei Ba listen to me, or can Meng Da listen to me?"
"Sun Quan can listen to you." Li Feng stared into Fei Yi's eyes and said word by word: "I tell you the truth. Now things are a little beyond my control, and even the general is probably beyond the reach."
Fei Yi's eyes tightened and he stared at Li Feng. His heart beat like a drum and his brain turned quickly. What does Li Feng mean by saying this? He just came back from Xiangguan and must have gone to see Wei Ba. Could it be Wei Bahe
He was quarreling and insisted on starting a war? But it was wrong. Without Meng Da's support, Wei Ba would be very sure of winning alone. What does Li Feng mean by saying this?
Li Feng faced Fei Yi's eyes, feeling guilty, but he did not dare to get out of the way. Wei Ba told him that when dealing with people like Fei Yi, you must not show any hesitation or weakness. You must suppress him psychologically to allow him to
He believed in the possibility. Therefore, although his palms are covered in sweat, his eyes are not shaken.
"Because General Zhennan's navy has arrived in Wujun, if the order for a ceasefire cannot be sent, they will launch an attack on the first day of October. They will attack with General Zhennan from east to west, break through Jingkou first, and then go upstream." Li Feng
He paused and said, "Now there are eight days left."
"Navigator?" Fei Yi finally couldn't control his emotions and screamed in shock: "Is there a warship in Jiaozhou?"
"Well, although the number is not large, it is very powerful." Li Feng smiled bitterly: "I just knew that General Zhennan really won by surprise with his troops. I always thought that he only had 60,000 to 70,000 barbarian infantry in Jingzhou, but now I know about him
The real killer move is the more than 10,000 navy. From the beginning, he made plans to destroy Wu."
Fei Yi took a breath of cold air, his heart pounding. He tried to calm himself down for a moment, and then asked, "Since that's the case, what's the major general going to hesitate? Wouldn't it be better to destroy Wu with the flow?"
Li Feng shook and stared at Fei Yi's eyes: "Fei Jun, I can tell you clearly that this is not the result I hope. I can't tell you the rest, but I believe you are a smart person, the reason for this
, You can definitely guess it. Fei Jun, you don’t have much time, I hope you can make a quick decision.”
Fei Yi nodded involuntarily. Zhuge Liang's instructions to him were to fight this war as much as possible, to make Li Yan suffer a little, and to make it difficult for him to hold him accountable for the Battle of Huguan. But that was established by Wei Ba
On the basis that Meng Da was unable to win, Wei Ba actually sent the navy behind Sun Quan, and the situation was completely different. Wei Ba's move was so cruel that Li Feng became nervous and did not want to make contributions to Wei Ba.
Opportunity, how could Zhuge Liang want to see this scene appear?
No matter what conflict of interest there is between Li Yan and Wei Ba, the victory of this war is all due to Li Yan and it is not good news for the Prime Minister.
Perhaps it was for this reason that Li Feng asked him to appear and persuade Sun Quan to accept their conditions and eliminate the war in its infancy.
Fei Yi did not doubt the authenticity of this news at all. With his understanding of Wei Ba, it was entirely possible for Wei Ba to do such a thing. Now he is probably the one who wants to fight this battle, winning this battle.
If Li Yan cannot repay his credit, he can rise up strongly and stand together with Li Yan and the three strongest prime ministers, so he will no longer have to rely on anyone in the future.
Fei Yi did not hesitate much and immediately rushed to Yiyang to see Sun Deng.
...
Sun Deng was skeptical. He felt that Fei Yi's words had too many blackmails. Jiaozhou Navy? Even if Wei Ba had a navy, how powerful could he be? Hepu Shipyard had been built less than a year.
Sun Deng asked Zhang Wen to discuss it. Zhang Cheng also felt it was not reliable, but Zhang Wen suddenly thought of the giant ship he had seen, and his face turned pale and his sweat was covered in cold sweat.
"Huishu, what's wrong with you?" Sun Deng asked in surprise.
"Your Highness, we cannot take it lightly. Although Wei Ba is unlikely to attack Wujun, it is still possible to severely damage our navy."
Sun Deng and Zhang Cheng looked at each other and thought that Zhang Wen had not woken up from a hangover. Not to mention the newly established Jiaozhou Navy, even if the entire Shu Han Army Xiangyang Navy was dispatched, it would not be easy to severely damage the Wu Navy.
, The Wu Navy's warship technology may not be the most advanced, but it definitely has an advantage in quantity.
Zhang Wen didn't say much, dipped his finger in wine, and first drew a sketch of a building boat on the table. "This is the largest building boat in our army." Then he drew a much larger building boat next to it.
. "This is a tower ship built by Wei Ba. It is faster than our tower ship and can almost compete with medium-sized warships. It is extremely strong and difficult to break the arrows and stones, can sail on the sea, and wind and waves are difficult to cover."
He thought about it, looked up at Sun Deng again, and his eyes showed horror: "I know why Wei Ba did this. Although the storm in October is not as surging as in August, it is still impressive. Although our army has many warships, it is very difficult.
If you go to war, once you encounter such a giant ship from Wei Ba, you may..."
Sun Deng and Zhang Cheng couldn't help but take a breath. They could doubt Fei Yi, but they wouldn't doubt Zhang Wen. Zhang Wen had seen such a giant ship with his own eyes. He wouldn't deliberately exaggerate and help Wei Ba come.
Blackmail Sun Quan. Thinking of Wei Ba's best at mechanical techniques, so far, the most advanced warship technology has always been in his hands, and the various ordnances he created are still powerful tools for countries to imitate.
Sun Deng and the other two had already believed it seven or eight points.
More importantly, this information can explain a very good question: Why Wei Ba has not transferred the troops from Jiaozhou to Jingzhou. This is not because he wants to maintain restraint, but because his suspicious plan. The soldiers of Jiaozhou did not come to Jingzhou, but
He has already gone to Yangzhou and is preparing to launch a shocking attack. This tactic is undoubtedly the tactic that Wei Ba is best at.
All questions are now explained in the most reasonable way.
