Wei Yan and his son were surprised. Wei Feng had been following Wei Yan and had never led an army alone. How could he suddenly be asked to lead troops to the three counties in the east? Although he was only given two thousand soldiers, the other three thousand soldiers were supplementary.
Zhuge Qiao's, but this love still made Wei Yan and his son excited.
From the mouth of Ma Su who conveyed the order, Wei Yan knew that this great love came from the Prime Minister's reward for Wei Ba, and he felt happy. After sending Ma Su away, Wei Yan patted Wei Feng on the shoulder hard: "Boy, your wings are strong, you can do it"
Flying solo."
Wei Feng smiled from ear to ear. He had commanded two thousand soldiers, which was the rank of a school captain. It was rare for young people to have such a starting point when he entered the officialdom. And these were all earned by his younger brother Wei Ba.
Yes, how could he be unhappy?
Mrs. Zhang looked at the overjoyed father and son, feeling happy and uneasy at the same time, with a somewhat complicated mood. She pulled Wei Feng aside, whispered some instructions, and suddenly asked: "Do you know,
Ziyu seems to like Huan'er very much."
Wei Feng didn't come back to his senses for a moment, blinked his eyes, and replied naturally: "If Mom has no objection, just give it to him."
Mrs. Zhang raised her eyebrows: "This girl Huan'er was raised by me since she was a child. I treat her like a half-daughter. How can you give her away so easily?"
Wei Feng laughed awkwardly and scratched his head: "What do you think my mother should do?"
"I'm asking for your opinion now."
"My opinion? If he likes it, just give it to him." Wei Feng said nonchalantly.
"You don't like Huan'er?"
"Me, I like it too, but if Ziyu likes it, I'll give it to him. Who makes me the elder brother?"
Mrs. Zhang was speechless. She patted Wei Feng's face lovingly, touched his muscular arm, and sighed. She could see that Wei Feng's words came from his true heart. Thinking of Wei Ba's presence in her
She smiled silently at the words spoken in front of her. In this case, she hoped that their brothers could be good brothers for the rest of their lives.
"Well, you bring my words to him. As long as your brother returns safely this time, I will give Huan'er to him."
"Okay." Wei Feng responded, turned around and went out. He didn't care about Huan'er at all now. He just wanted to see the two thousand troops assigned to him by the prime minister. He usually led many soldiers, but those were old soldiers.
He was one of his subordinates. People treated him politely and called him a major general, but in fact he was nothing. It was different now. The captain's seal and ribbon were already worn around his waist, and he had real subordinates.
After a brief preparation, Wei Feng set out on the road with five thousand people. According to military practice, Wei Yan assigned him two hundred soldiers as personal guards. These two hundred people were private soldiers of the Wei family. They had only one mission, to ensure that
For the safety of Wei Feng, Mrs. Zhang was even more generous to her biological son. She arranged for people to rush back to Nanzheng quickly, prepared two hundred sets of new armor and ordnance, and gave them to Wei Feng to equip the two hundred Wei family soldiers.
Even Wei Yan had never received such treatment. Wei Yan muttered a few words in disgust, but in the face of Mrs. Zhang's power, he could only hide his opinions in his heart and curl his lips secretly.
…
In Anyang, Wei Ba was extremely worried.
Although Zhuge Qiao accepted his suggestion, he didn't take it seriously. He actually waited for two days in Anyang before sending troops. When he arrived at Xunkou, he realized that the development of the matter was out of his control.
As Wei Ba expected, when Deng Xian left Anyang and returned to Fangling, Sima Yi was already on his way to Fangling. He marched in a hurry and completed the 1,200-mile journey in just eight days.
.Thirty thousand troops suddenly appeared outside Fangling City and surrounded Fangling.
While surrounding Fangling, Sima Yi considered that the Shu Han might send reinforcements. He ordered General Hu Zun to lead 3,000 men to occupy Mulan Fortress, which is thirty miles east of Xunkou, and ordered Shen Yi to hold on to Xunkou. Shen Yi was at Xunkou
After many years of operation, the fortress was strong and there were more than 2,000 people guarding the city, blocking Zhuge Qiao tightly and making it difficult for him to move forward.
Only then did Zhuge Qiao realize the seriousness of the situation. He immediately sent someone to ask for help from Zhuge Liang. When the messenger passed through Anyang, he brought a message from Zhuge Qiao to Wei Ba. Now that we were about to attack the city, we hoped that Wei Ba, who was familiar with siege equipment, would go there.
help.
When Wei Ba heard this, he became angry. Attack the enemy? Are you mistaken? With 5,000 men, you want to capture Xunkou, which was defended by 2,000 men? That is the lair that Shen Yi has been running for many years. How can it be so easy?
Let you capture it? What's the use of siege equipment? Unless I drag a few cannons to you now, otherwise the most powerful siege equipment will be in vain.
What's more important is that siege equipment needs to be built on site, which takes time. If you don't have three to five days, it is impossible to build enough quantities. After three to five days, even if you show your prowess and conquer Xunkou, it doesn't matter, and then attack Mulan.
Sai? According to this plan, if you can reach Fangling in two months, you are considered capable. Support Meng Da? Dream!
It's useless for Wei Ba to be anxious. There are only a thousand soldiers in Anyang, and it's useless to rush them all to the front line. At this time, Wei Feng sent someone to deliver the news. I am on the way with 5,000 people under the orders of the prime minister.
Wei Ba was overjoyed, but the joy was only because Wei Feng had the opportunity to lead the army in battle, and had nothing to do with the situation. Even with five thousand more men, it was still impossible to reverse the unfavorable situation for the Shu army, and it was still unable to quickly conquer Xunkou.
Wei Ba invited Zhao Guang, Mi Wei and Zhou Yu to discuss. Zhou Yu, courtesy name Yunyang, was a captain that Zhuge Qiao had just arranged to cooperate with him. His father was Zhou Cang, who was a subordinate of Guan Yu. Wasn't he in the novel?
Wei Ba is not sure about the sword-wielding Zhou Cang in the movie. However, this boy does look a bit like Zhou Cang in the movie. He is in his thirties, has a thick beard, and looks very powerful. Wu Yi and Zhao Guang
It can't be compared, that is, it is at the middle level, but it is brave enough and has murderous intent.
"The first thing is that reinforcements are coming, five thousand people. Among them is my brother Wei Feng."
Zhao Guang and others were overjoyed at first, but then stopped smiling. They all knew that five thousand people was just a massive force and could not solve practical problems.
"The second thing is that we need to discuss a way to solve the current dilemma. If we simply send these five thousand people to Xunkou, it will not be of much help to the war situation."
Zhao Guang said: "Ziyu, what are your plans?"
"I don't have any plans yet. I only know that if we don't find a way, the Prime Minister's Northern Expedition plan will definitely be affected."
Zhao Guang was in a dilemma. Wei Ba refused to accept Zhuge Qiao's order, but he himself had no feasible plan. What should he do?
Mi Wei crossed his arms and raised his eyelids: "Since there is no other way, let's find a way together. In a word, we won't talk."
Wei Ba glanced at him and said nothing. Who knows if Mi Wei was just trying to cause trouble with Zhuge Qiao. This guy is smart in business but not very good at fighting, so he can't be counted on.
"Can we take a detour to Shangyong and rush from Shangyong to Fangling?" Zhou Yu asked timidly. This expression really didn't match his rough face.
Zhao Guang immediately vetoed his opinion. "I'm afraid not. There is indeed a road from Xicheng to Shangyong, but those roads are all mountain roads. Small groups of people can walk on them. It is inconvenient for a large army to move, let alone carry large baggage. It is difficult to carry it alone.
Far from enough."
Zhou Yu said oh and fell silent.
Wei Ba also thought about Zhou Yu's method. He originally thought it could be a strange move, but after basic calculations, he also gave up this plan. As Zhao Guang said, this road is not suitable for large army operations, and it is difficult to guarantee timely action.
Rushed to Fang County.
"I think it's okay." Mi Wei stared at the map for a long time and suddenly said: "When we go to Fangling, we don't have to rescue Meng Da. The biggest worry now is that Meng Da is not prepared enough and will be under Sima Yi's fierce attack.
His psychology collapsed rapidly. As long as we appear around Fangling, for Mengda, it is enough to boost his morale and help him survive this period. In this case, the effect of a small group of people may not be much worse than that of a large army.
."
Wei Ba's eyes tightened, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He found that he had become accustomed to deductions these days, and his thinking was somewhat mechanical. He had been thinking about either attacking Xunkou or taking other routes to Fangling, focusing on fighting.
But I didn't expect that psychological support would be very important to Meng Da at this time.
In other words, he focused too much on the comparison of objective conditions and ignored the subjective psychology. Mi Wei was not very familiar with combat, but he was good at business, and the most important thing was psychological tactics. Otherwise, it would be called no businessman, no traitor.
Mi Wei's words opened up a new idea, and Wei Ba's mind immediately started to work quickly. Various factors from both sides were quickly compared in his mind, and he quickly came up with a new plan.
"We took the Shangyong road, and then divided our troops into two groups. One group was mainly composed of barbarian soldiers and Qiang people who were good at walking in the mountains. They crossed Zhushan and Baima Mountains and went straight to Fangling to support Mengda. The other group headed north through Shangyong.
Behind Mulan Sai, attack Mulan Sai from behind."
Zhao Guang squinted his eyes and thought for a while: "Mulan Fortress is not easy to fight. With five thousand people, we have to divide our troops into two groups and go over mountains and ridges. It is difficult to hide our whereabouts. Even if we get to Mulan Fortress, we will not be able to capture it. I see.
It is better to go around behind Xunkou and defeat Shen Yi first, and then rush the whole army to Mulansai, the winning rate will be much greater."
Wei Ba shook his head: "Although your plan is safe, it is too cautious. Mulansai and Xunkou are thirty miles apart, which is exactly the position of the front and rear armies. With Shen Yi covering the front, the Wei army in Mulansai should feel at ease. Break it first.
Shen Yi, firstly, it will waste time, and secondly, it will give the Wei army in Mulan a warning in advance. In the end, they can only attack by force, but it is not beautiful. We attack them first and attack them unprepared, so the winning rate will be greater. In case they are discovered, we can make a surprise attack.
If not, we can also attack Xunkou in turn, and it won’t waste much time."
"I think what Wei Canjun said makes sense." Mi Wei agreed: "Our sudden appearance in Mulansai will shock the enemy even more. Not only will the Wei army be surprised, but even Shen Yi will feel nervous. Compared to directly attacking Xun
By mouth, it should be easier to achieve victory."
Zhao Guang thought for a moment and accepted Wei Ba's plan: "Then how to divide the work?"
"You and Zi Lie guard Anyang." Wei Ba said, "Yun Yang and I will follow the army."————Please add it to your collection and recommend it!
