Wei Ba and Fei Yi were laughing happily when there was a sudden sound on the stairs, and a soldier hurriedly walked up, walked straight to Wei Ba, and presented metal cylinders sealed tightly with wax with both hands.
Wei Ba's eyes shrank, and the smile on his face disappeared without a trace in an instant. The atmosphere upstairs suddenly became cold, as if heavy snow suddenly fell from the sky, and it was bitingly cold.
Wei Ba raised his hand and took the metal tube without opening it. He held it in one hand and patted it on the other hand. He glanced at Fei Yi and raised a faint smile again. But there was no warmth in the smile.
It makes people feel even more chilled, and even Fei Yi, who looks so calm, can't help but become nervous.
He felt that what Wei Ba was holding was like a long fire bomb. Once opened, poisonous smoke that could kill people would come out.
"Fei Jun, guess what is going to be here."
Fei Yi took the metal tube from Wei Ba and weighed it. The metal tube was heavy, but he didn't know whether it was the weight of the tube or the weight of the contents. However, judging from the workmanship of the metal tube and the meticulousness of the sealing wax,
What's inside must be very important.
"I can't guess."
"Then you might as well open it and take a look." Wei Ba glanced at it casually. Fa Miao and others understood and consciously exited the attic, leaving only Wei Ba and Fei Yi.
Fei Yi's face turned a little pale, and Wei Ba's behavior made him even more nervous. He suddenly remembered the time he and Wei Ba had a confrontation on the overpass in Longyantan. Today, although the building was not as high as the overpass, it made him
I feel the situation is more dangerous.
Fei Yi took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it. He repeated this twice before regaining his composure. He took out a short knife from his waist and peeled off the sealing wax. He found that the heavy weight was still the weight of the barrel.
The things were not complicated, just a few drawings. He pulled out the drawings and found that they were mechanical design drawings that Wei Ba was the first to use and later gradually popularized.
Fei Yi couldn't help but hold his breath. Although he didn't know what these drawings were yet, he had roughly guessed them. He carefully put the metal tube aside, holding the few thin drawings, but he didn't dare to
Open it. He raised his head and glanced at Wei Ba. Wei Ba tilted his mouth and looked at him with a half-smile, his eyes intriguing.
Fei Yi had no choice but to open the drawing. As soon as he opened it a little, a few very familiar words came into view. Fei Yi stopped and stared at the words in a daze, without moving for a long time. After a while, he sighed.
With a sound, he rolled up the drawing again, walked to the railing, looked at the lake in the distance that was illuminated by the sunset, and said in a hoarse voice: "Xia Houxuan and Deng Ai attacked Yuzhang from both directions, just for these things?"
Wei Ba laughed silently.
"What do you want me to do?"
"I want to invite you to go to Guanzhong."
"Then what?" Fei Yi turned around, his face pale and struggle flashed in his eyes.
"There is no more." Wei Ba said lightly, raising his head, the sunset reflected his face red and illuminated his eyes. "The rest is left to fate. People plan things, and God makes things happen. You should work hard and work hard."
That’s enough.”
Fei Yi nodded: "Okay, I'll leave right away."
"Hard."
Fei Yi smiled miserably: "If I can help, I don't have anything to fear even if I am shattered to pieces, but..." He stopped talking, sighed, and turned around to leave.
Wei Ba now went downstairs, coughed, and nodded to Ding Feng who was standing at the top of the stairs. Ding Feng understood and went downstairs. After a while, Fa Miao came up. He took a glance and opened the door.
The metal tube was obviously relieved, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
"General, you guessed it right."
"In fact, it's not difficult. Sun Quan has no choice, and the Prime Minister has no choice." Wei Ba patted the railing and pondered for a moment: "Bo Yuan, what do you think the Prime Minister will choose?"
"Prime Minister, you should put national affairs first." Fa Miao lowered his head, thought for a while, and said: "He is not a rigid person. He will not be afraid of compromising for the current predicament, but if the general thinks that he
I’m afraid it won’t be easy to just give up.”
"I didn't come here and didn't expect him to stop. I just hope that this step will be stronger." Wei Ba laughed silently, his eyes narrowed into a line, his eyes were as sharp as knives, but there was a bit of helplessness. "Yes.
Otherwise, my father really wouldn’t be able to pass that test.”
"In this case, shouldn't the general make more preparations?" Fa Miao reminded: "You have been away from Chengdu for so long, and it is time to return to Chengdu to see Mrs. Zhang. Although she is not your aunt, she is your father's.
My wife, she still has a lot of influence on some things."
Wei Ba blinked: "Can I go to Chengdu?"
Fa Miao smiled: "Sooner or later I have to go."
Wei Ba thought for a long time: "In that case, let's make more preparations."
Fa Miao bowed and saluted: "Here."
…
As soon as Fei Yi left Baqiu Mountain, Li Feng arrived. His status was unusual, and he walked directly in front of Wei Ba without any notification.
Wei Ba was sitting on the pole facing the wind, intoxicated by the beautiful scenery in front of him. The long fishing line hung from the upstairs and fell into the lake that was not microwaved. There was a small clay stove next to it, with a pot of water boiling on it.
, the water has just boiled and is steaming. Next to it is a small high-top table and two chairs. On the table are
A pot of wine, two wine glasses, two pairs of chopsticks made of thorn bamboo, and several side dishes had been set out. Seeing the smiling Li Feng appear at the top of the stairs, Wei Ba was surprised and quickly put the fishing rod aside.
Stepping forward to greet him, he bowed his hands and saluted from afar, laughing loudly and saying: "Major General, what kind of wind brought you here?"
"Of course it was the fragrance of the fish soup that lured me here." Li Feng hurried up to meet him and held Wei Ba's hand with both hands. Although he was several years older than Wei Ba and felt that his current status was unusual, he was not ordinary.
Dare to show off in front of Wei Ba. He still wants Wei Ba to help, how dare he show off in front of him.
"Hahaha, I asked you why the fish didn't dare to take the bait today. It turns out that the Major General is coming, so all the fish can only stay away."
Li Feng deliberately said seriously: "Ziyu, you can't say that. If word spreads, you will think that my father and son have disobedient intentions."
Wei Ba laughed, pointed to the sky, then to the ground, to Li Feng, and then to himself. Li Feng understood the idea and was not polite. He sat down at the table, picked up his chopsticks and paused on the table.
I put a piece of vegetable into my mouth, squeaking
He started eating with a squeak. As he ate, he nodded repeatedly: "The side dishes here are still delicious. Although they are simple, they have a long-lasting taste. Alas, I regret going to Nanjun. I should be enjoying the autumn breeze here every day."
Wei Ba sat down opposite him with a smile, picked up the wine bottle and poured a glass for Li Feng, and poured another glass for himself. He picked up the wine glass and gestured to Li Feng, jokingly saying: "Major General, you can't be
You came all the way here just to miss the side dishes cooked in my house, right?"
"Of course it is, but not entirely." Li Feng drank it all, smacked his lips, and said with a bold smile: "This iced melon wine from the South also makes me think about it day and night. Ziyu, you can't blame me.
Greedy, if you want to blame me, I can only blame you for treating me too well and spoiling my tongue. You will have to be responsible in the future."
"Don't worry, Major General. As long as you like it, I will bear all the wine and side dishes at your house from now on."
"It's so happy." Li Feng slapped the table and said with a smile: "One more thing, I hope Ziyu can be so happy."
"I just said that the young general came here with ulterior motives, and it turned out to be true." Wei Ba pointed at Li Feng and said with a bad smile: "Tell me, let's see what problems the young general has given me."
"It's a difficult problem for me, but it's not difficult for you at all." Li Feng said: "Xia Houxuan, Deng Ai stayed in Yuzhang and refused to leave, and Bu Zha refused to withdraw from Nanjun. What do you think I should do?
?”
Wei Ba raised his eyebrows and said with joy: "Major General, you mean, we beat him out? Okay, by the way, we can also capture Jiangxia. From now on, Jingzhou will all belong to you, Major General."
Li Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Wei Ziyu, are you still not satisfied with the fight and are you impatient to fight again?"
Wei Ba raised his thumb and said, "My parents are the ones who gave birth to me, and they are the young general who know me."
"No." Li Feng raised his hand, interrupting Wei Ba's flattery: "Now I have no soldiers, no food, and I haven't even got Nanjun yet. What can I use to fight? Ziyu, let me tell you straight, can you?
Let Xia Houxuan and the others withdraw as soon as possible so as not to delay the business."
Wei Ba was startled, with a look of surprise on his face: "Young General, is this an order from the General?"
Li Feng was also stunned for a moment: "No, this has nothing to do with the general. It's me personally asking for your help."
Wei Ba stood up, put his hands behind his back, turned around twice, and then stood still in front of Li Feng: "Young General, I have an idea, I don't know..."
Before Wei Ba could finish speaking, Li Feng waved his hand: "Ziyu, you and I are not outsiders. If you have anything to say, just say it. Why hesitate."
Wei Ba nodded: "Then I'll tell you straight. General, to tell you the truth, I didn't withdraw on purpose."
Li Feng looked at Wei Ba puzzledly: "Why?"
"I want to give the Major General an excuse to attack Wu." Wei Ba returned to the case and sat down, dipped his chopsticks in some wine, and drew a sketch on the case. "Major General, you see, we can win this time.
It was because the navy detoured to the East China Sea and raided Wu Commandery, causing Sun Quan to lose his position. But Sun Quan suffered such a hardship, can he be careless? He will definitely be prepared and not give us the opportunity to take advantage of it."
Li Feng smiled silently: "When it comes to navy, who else is your opponent?"
"Otherwise." Wei Ba shook his head: "It's true that I have warship technology, but don't forget, Major General, that the technology for making stone bullets was also unique to us at the beginning, but later the Wu people had it. This matter has not happened until now
We haven’t found out yet. If Sun Quan also has warship technology by then, he can block the river and think of something to attack from a flank, I’m afraid it won’t be so easy.”
Li Feng heard the voice of Wei Ba's words, and his eyes became sharp, as bright as a wolf: "You mean... someone leaked the technology of the warship to Sun Quan?"
Wei Ba raised his hand and shook it repeatedly. "I'm just worried about this possibility and just want to nip it in the bud."...
