Sun Deng was also confused. What happened on the south bank of Liushui also happened on the south bank of Zishui.
Overnight, more than 30,000 Shu Han troops withdrew without a trace. Zhang Cheng sent scouts across the water to investigate, and found that the Shu Han troops were retreating. They had already withdrawn thirty miles, and it seemed that they would continue to retreat.
Sun Deng doesn’t know what happened. Could it be that the negotiation has a result? It shouldn’t be. If there is a result, it’s impossible for my father not to inform me. Wei Ba doesn’t want to fight? This is even more unrealistic. Since Wei Ba’s debut, when
Have you ever been soft?
Just when Sun Deng was puzzled, he received a letter from Deng Yang. Deng Yang said that the test was over. Thanks to your army's understanding, we did not have a conflict. Thank you very much. I hope this negotiation can be like this one.
If the test goes smoothly, the alliance between Han and Wu will always be good, and the world will be divided together. We can't afford to use weapons, and we will always maintain peace.
General Sun Deng was doubtful. Then, he received another letter from Zhuge Ke and learned that the same thing had happened in Linxiang. Wei Ba's main force had withdrawn, and only 10,000 people were still stationed south of Liushui.
Sun Deng and Zhang Cheng discussed it, but they couldn't figure out the truth. Before getting more information, they couldn't make any more judgments, so they could only stop quietly and defend the city to avoid being attacked by Wei Ba.
.Other than that, all they can do is wait, wait for further news, and wait for the results of the Wuchang negotiations.
On the night of September 30th, neither Sun Deng nor Zhang Cheng could sleep. They were dressed neatly, and Zhang Cheng put on his armor and came to say goodbye to Sun Deng. So far, they have not received the results of Wuchang's negotiations. According to the previous
Wei Ba’s statement. The results will not be received before Zishi
, which is tantamount to a declaration of war. Even though Wei Ba has now retreated thirty miles, Zhang Cheng still did not dare to neglect. He ordered all the soldiers to be on guard in case of any eventuality. As the commander-in-chief, of course he had to take command in person. As the prince, Sun Deng,
We have to wait for the result in Yiyang City.
Whether it is war or peace, the result will be revealed overnight. Both Zhang Cheng and Sun Deng were extremely nervous.
…
Xinyang.
In the night, the sound of horse hooves rumbled from time to time, and groups of figures rushed out of the darkness, stopped in front of the camp, checked the seals, corrected the passwords, and after confirming their identities, walked into the camp.
In the lobby of the county temple, more than a dozen generals sat quietly. No one spoke loudly, some familiar people gathered together to whisper, and more people sat quietly. Outside the door, I kept thinking of the hurried words.
With the sound of footsteps, the generals walked in one by one and found a place to sit down.
Fa Miao sat aside, flipping through the official documents in his hands. Only when someone came in, would he raise his eyelids to take a look, nod in greeting, and then return his gaze to the official documents.
He sat like this from the time of You hour until the lights were turned on.
When Jin Dongliu walked in with steady steps, Fa Miao showed a slight smile, closed the official document in his hand, stood up, and cupped his hands: "Everyone, everyone is here, I will go and invite you right away."
God general."
Those present are all senior generals from the three counties of Jingzhou, and two-thirds of them are from the Wuxi Barbarians in Wuling. Among them are tribal leaders like Feihu and Hanru. The big man sitting in the front is the current Barbarian King Heisha of the Wuxi Barbarians.
, he is also one of the two bodyguards around Wei Ba.
1. Most of the others were leaders of Lingling, Guiyang and other barbarian tribes, and they only joined Wei Ba’s command later. To them, the reputation of General Zhennan was far less important than the reputation of General Divine. Listen to the law.
Miao said he was going to invite the divine general, and everyone said in unison: "I respectfully invite the divine general."
Fa Miao entered, and a moment later, Wei Ba came out from behind. With a smile on his lips, he looked around, his gentle yet majestic eyes sweeping across everyone's face. No one he saw could be seen.
He straightened his back consciously. Three or four years after Wei Ba entered Jingzhou, the lives of the people in the three counties of Wuling were much better than before, at least they didn't need to
After enduring the recruitment and exploitation of Wu State, Wei Ba also called for military service, but he made it very clear that men of suitable age could only serve as soldiers for three years, and after three years they would be transferred to reserve service. Unless it was absolutely necessary, they would only accept the imperial examination and not be forced to conscript.
Wei Ba fulfilled his promise. Even when he attacked Nanyang, Wei Ba did not impose large amounts of military service.
The rule of Wei Ba may still be too far away from the prosperous times, and it is not possible for everyone to have enough food and clothing, but most people can basically have enough food and clothing. In these troubled times, it is no longer easy to do this. With the passage of time,
With the influx of immigrants from the Central Plains and Guanzhong areas, the popularization of new rice varieties, and the opening of cotton sales, the people of the three counties of Jingzhou are still very grateful to the kindness of General Wei. Being able to lead troops to fight under the command of General Wei is also due to these
The glory of the straight man.
"Everyone, I said that there is no emergency war and I will not call up reserves for combat. This time, it is still the case, but I need you to help me strengthen my momentum." Wei Ba coughed and said gently. Although he did not frown, he did not
If someone dares to be presumptuous, everyone will look at him intently.
"General God, I believe this may not be good news." Feihu stood up, cupped his hands, looked at the other generals, and said with a smile: "There are many warriors waiting for God General's orders, and they have to serve God General
Charge into the battle, kill the generals and seize the flag."
Several men shouted after him. "Exactly, Brother Feihu is right. I have been serving under the general for three years and haven't really fought a battle yet. My hands are really itchy."
"No, when we were practicing battle formations with General Zhao, we wanted to go into battle. Unexpectedly, the general was so brave that he beat Cao Rui away. This time we are fighting against Sun Quan, and the general will take us with him no matter what."
Wei Ba took a look and found that these people who were eager to fight were all tribal leaders from Lingling, Guiyang and other counties. It is true that they had not participated in any big wars. However, they did not entirely want to fight for the god generals, nor did they want to fight for the generals.
The main reason is that they are jealous of Wuxi Man's status in the army. Most of the senior generals in the standing army of the three counties of Wuling are from Wuxi Man. Who told Wei Ba that his first stop when entering Jingzhou was Wuling.
As for Feihu, I am afraid it is also for the purpose of balancing. Although he is now the Wuling Lieutenant and controls the military power of Wuling, he has not made any major military exploits since he joined Wei Ba. His greatest contribution was the defeat of Pan Jun in San Valley.
, and the commander-in-chief at that time was Zhao Tong
, has nothing to do with him. Many people are not convinced that he can take on this important task, thinking that it is because his daughter Nanhu married Wei Xing, Wei Ba's cronies. In the barbarian tribe, his status is far inferior to that of the barbarian king Hei.
Sha, Heisha has participated in many battles.
Wei Ba knew the psychology of these people very clearly. No matter how scheming a barbarian is, he is still a barbarian. In terms of scheming, it cannot be compared with him and Famiao and others around him. He waved his hands and said with a smile: "You are so brave, you are commendable.
I'm very happy. However, a soldier is a land of life and death. You can't be careless. My purpose has always been to use the smallest possible means.
The price is in exchange for the greatest benefit. Master once said that letting people with insufficient training go to the battlefield is tantamount to killing people. I will not do that. I want you to help out this time because I hope to provide a chance for those warriors who have never been on the battlefield.
, let them get familiar with the real battlefield and prepare for going into battle to kill the enemy in person in the future."
Wei Ba paused and then continued: "So, don't argue. The main attack tasks should be completed by the standing troops. The tasks of the reserve forces are logistics and ordnance. When necessary, I may select some of the best-trained warriors to go into battle.
, However, the number will not be too much."
Everyone had different expressions after hearing this. The generals of the standing army who looked like flying foxes were naturally happy, while the generals in charge of the reserves looked disappointed. These barbarians were simple-minded and did not know how to hide their thoughts.
Feihu handed over his hand again: "General, when will we set off? It's already the last day of the deadline. Even if we set off now, I'm afraid we won't be able to fulfill the general's promise. General, it's better to issue the order sooner rather than later so that we can return."
The camp is ready."
"Hahaha..." Wei Ba laughed: "I didn't expect that at your age, you are still as aggressive as a young man. I heard that you married two more women. When I came, I thought you were just marrying
Let’s take a look, and now it seems that you are likely to have a few more sons.”
Everyone laughed. The flying fox smiled and stroked his beard, feeling smug.
Wei Ba waved his hand, and the laughter suddenly stopped. "Yes, even if we set out now, we will not be able to enter the territory of Wu at midnight on the first day of October. However, just because we cannot enter does not mean that my promise cannot be fulfilled.
You must know that I, Wei Ba, have more than just warriors like you under my command."
Feihu rolled his eyes, pretending to be unhappy and said: "General God, if you say this, then my old fox is a little unhappy. How can we not share a share of such an important task? General God, do you think that
Aren’t we good enough at fighting?”
Someone stood up, beating their chests loudly, and filled with righteous indignation. "Isn't it true, General God, what you did makes us sad. When it comes to fighting, who can be braver than us Wuxi Barbarians?"
"Hey, you stupid guy, what are you talking about? We Guiyang Barbarians are weaker than you? Think about the battle where we defeated Old Man Lu in Linhe, we Guiyang Barbarians made the greatest contribution."
"Do you have the greatest credit?" The barbarian from earlier glared: "Ask everyone if you recognize your credit."
Seeing that the barbarians were about to settle old scores again, Wei Ba coughed. Although the sound was not very loud, it was like thunder. The excited barbarians closed their mouths in unison, but their eyes were like flying knives, whizzing away.
non-stop.
"You are all warriors, but you don't show it with your words, and you shouldn't treat your comrades as enemies." Wei Ba calmly said, "Bo Yuan, come and announce the combat mission."
"Here." Famiao stood up and walked to the map.
The barbarians were no longer competitive. They opened their eyes wide and pricked up their ears, waiting to hear the tactical arrangements to see if they could get a higher order of battle. The reservists did not dare to be careless.
I hope that I can be assigned to an important position. If the war there becomes tense, I might still have a chance to fight.
