Wu Qiujian sat in the simple marching tent, feeling restless.
He led a thousand Wuhuan cavalry and followed Wei Ba for half a month. He stopped here for three or five days. Wei Ba was stationed on Huaihua Island, training navy every day, sending people to sea to fish, and passing by
He had to be relaxed and at ease, but he did not dare to be careless and remained highly nervous.
One thousand cavalry, facing eight thousand infantrymen, has certain opportunities, but they are not sure of winning. If they are surrounded, no matter how fierce a thousand cavalry is, they will inevitably be defeated. Wei Ba uses strange troops and excellent military weapons.
He is famous for his subordinates, although his combat power is not to be underestimated. In particular, he also has a group of heavy armored soldiers under him. During the battle in Yuzhou, he repeatedly damaged the Wei cavalry and had some considerable influence in the Wei army.
When the Knights who had faced against the heavy armored soldiers mentioned those opponents wearing heavy armor and dancing with long swords, they shook their heads with lingering fear.
Among the Wuhuan cavalry led by Wuqiu Jian, there were cavalry who had experienced that war. Wuqiu Jian himself had witnessed the strength of the Wei family martial soldiers outside Shunyang City. If it weren't for the strict defense of these martial soldiers at that time, he
In order to defeat Wei Ba, he gambled all his troops into the attack, and he would not be successfully attacked by Wei Wu from behind, and he would be captured.
Whether it is a heavy armored soldier or a martial soldier in the Wei family, they must be the most elite force around Wei Ba. With Wei Ba's strong economic strength, it should be no problem to equip thousands of people, and with a thousand such powerful infantrymen, he
Even if there are a thousand cavalry, they may not be able to be fully protected. Once the raid fails, they lose their mobility and are forced to fight, they will not be sure to win.
What made him even more worried was that the food and grass he brought when he came out was limited, and if he didn't return, he would be at risk of food being cut off. What he felt most deeply now was not how powerful Wei Ba's infantry were, but how convenient it was for the navy to travel.
, The baggage ship can be dragged behind and steered the wind, not as difficult as land transportation. Wei Ba could travel easily with eight thousand people, but he could not do it. It was not because he did not have enough troops, but because he did not
Enough baggage.
For long-distance marches like this, logistics supply is the biggest problem. Even cavalry can only carry food and grass for a month at most, otherwise the speed of the war horses will be affected by carrying too much weight.
Wei Ba stagnated on Huaihua Island and sent people to the shore to inquire about the situation. Wu Qiu Jian estimated that he had plans to go ashore. However, the location chosen by Wei Ba made him very uncomfortable. This is the unmanned area between western and eastern Liaoning.
, and then five or six hundred miles eastward, it is Changli County controlled by Gongsun Yuan, and five or six hundred miles westward, it is Liaoxi County controlled by the Wei State. He could only get supplies from Liaoxi, and Changli could not give him supplies.
Wei Ba chose a middle position, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
He wanted to turn around and leave, regardless of whether Wei Ba was ashore or not. But when things came to an end, he couldn't bear to leave. Wei Ba was stranded on Huaihua Island, obviously because he was waiting for him to lose food, and had to withdraw his plan from western Liaoning and wait for him.
Let's go ashore with a swagger and hunting on Bailang Mountain. This not only fulfilled its previous promise, damaged the morale of the Wei army, but also ensured safety and killed two birds with one stone.
Seeing through Wei Ba's plan made Wu Qiu Jian even more reluctant to give up. If he could make a plan and defeat Wei Ba, it would be a victory to raise morale for both the current Wei State and for him personally.
Killing Wei Ba was even more amazing. No one dared to say that Wu Qiu Jian had his current status because of his old man from the East Palace.
The problem now is that the initiative is in the hands of Wei Ba. Wei Ba has no logistics supply. He can stay here as long as he wants, but he cannot. Once the supply is insufficient, he must withdraw his troops, otherwise he will collapse without fighting.
.
As soon as the tent door was lifted, Wu Qiujian's younger brother Wu Qiuxiu walked in, glanced at Wu Qiujian, and couldn't help laughing: "I can't eat, but it's a pity to abandon it?"
Wu Qiu Jian smiled helplessly: "Yes, Wei Ba doesn't leave. It seems that he wants to land on the shore to Bailang Mountain. It's a pity that I left now. But it won't work if I don't leave. There is not enough food and grass, so I can't be like Wei.
It’s really a problem to go into the sea to fish like a tyrant.”
"Brother, I think Wei Ba will definitely go to Bailang Mountain?"
Wu Qiujian narrowed his eyes and nodded solemnly.
"I have an idea, brother, can you please?"
Wu Qiu Jian turned his gaze to Wu Qiu Xiu. He knew that this younger brother was as good as his name, and he was quite wise.
"Wei Ba is waiting, just to wait for our voluntary withdrawal of troops. The brother wants to retreat because he has no food and cannot control himself. Even if Wei Ba is right in front of him, he can only withdraw his troops." Wu Qiu Xiu said with a smile: "Then,
When Wei Ba came ashore, it should be after we retreated. But what if we retreated?"
"How can I come after I retreat?" Wu Qiu Jian said in confusion: "How to solve the food and grass on the return journey?"
"If no one answers, we must ensure that the food and grass can be supplied to us to return to western Liaoning, right?"
Wu Qiu Jian's eyes shrank, and he understood what Wu Qiu Xiu meant, and a smile appeared on his face. Then Wu Qiu Xiu said, "If someone comes to pick him up with food and grass, even if it is halfway through, we can have five or six.
The time gap of heaven. If Wei Ba came ashore within these five or six days, we would have the possibility of catching him."
Wu Qiu Xiu slapped his thigh: "Brother is really smart, he can see through it at a glance."
Wu Qiu Jian laughed silently. He stood up, turned around in the big tent twice, and suddenly stood in front of Wu Qiu Xiu: "Ji Gong, you will go back to Feiru City immediately and prepare for a month's food and grass,
Go to Lulongsai again, transfer a thousand border troops to carry food and grass, and travel north along the Xuanshui River to Bailang Mountain. Whether Wei Ba goes ashore or not, I will be in the Bailang Mountain area, where you can pick me up."
He sneered: "As long as Wei Ba dares to go to Bailang Mountain, two thousand infantry and cavalry, I don't believe that I can't kill him. If I can get rid of this big trouble for the country, it will be worth it even if I die in battle."
Wu Qiu Xiu's eyelids twitched, and suddenly he felt uneasy. He glanced at Wu Qiu Jian, and wanted to speak but stopped.
...
Chengdu, Wenliang Palace.
Emperor Liu Chan sat on the front seat, but his expression was a little timid, as if he was an uninvited guest, at a loss, his waist was straight, but he was a little stiff. If he was not careful, he would slowly soften until he was conscious.
Come over and stand up again like a long halberd in the hands of a doctor outside the palace.
Zhuge Liang sat on the upper seat on the left and was looking at a letter he had just received. His face was still thin, but not as pale as before. His eyes were gentle but not sharp, and he was powerful without anger. His slender fingers were fiddling with the letter.
The pale yellow bamboo paper swayed up and down, like flying butterflies.
Sun Deng, who was sitting opposite him, was in a mood like that of bamboo paper, with fluctuations.
As Liu Chan's companion, Sun Deng and Zhuge Liang have been together for a long time, but they are still not very confident. Unlike Sun Quan's sharpness as a rock, Zhuge Liang is like an unfathomable sea, which is daunting. He can feel this official document
It is related to Wu State, but he dare not ask for it on his own initiative, for fear of causing a series of problems Zhuge Liang had.
Zhuge Liang finished reading soon, and he calmly handed the letter to Huang Hao, the eunuch beside him. Although Huang Hao was quite happy before, in front of Zhuge Liang, he was as honest as a grandson. As soon as he took it in hand, he quickly turned around.
Delivered to Liu Chan.
Liu Chan looked at it and twisted his eyebrows twice as if he was dancing. He touched his chin seriously. His thick lips squirted twice, but he said nothing.
"Criminal, please take a look." Zhuge Liang said lightly.
Huang Hao trotted and sent it to Sun Deng again.
Sun Deng took it and took a look, with a little uneasiness flashing in his eyes. This official letter mainly talks about the war between Yan and Yu, and specifically mentioned that Lu Xun tied Lu Yi to Wu State, and Sun Quan sent Lu Yi to Tingwei, Tingwei
Wei found Lu Yi guilty and was executed. Sun Deng knew what role Lu Yi was and also knew Lu Xun's intention to do so. The so-called sending the Tingwei Mansion to punish the crime and the Ming Dian Zheng was just a helpless act to cover up the purpose. Lu Xun took the matter
If Sun Quan does so magnificently and does so unrestrainedly, he will turn against Lu Xun if he does not kill Lu Yi.
A sense of sadness surged in Sun Deng's heart. His father was strong all his life and fought with the Jiangdong family for a lifetime, but in the end he lost and lost in a very bad way. Although he was still alive, he was already dead.
"Your Majesty, Prince, please express your opinions on this matter, see what opinions the government and the people will think, and how to deal with them."
"This..." Liu Chan pretended to touch his fleshy chin and coughed: "Criminal, what do you think?"
Sun Deng was very sad. What else could he say at this point? According to the classic Confucian theory, this is not a good example for the king to be wise and wise, and the king to be righteous and upright. He said a few perfunctorily, saying that his body was not good.
Yu, got up and said goodbye.
Zhuge Liang disagreed and turned to Liu Chan, who was nervous and said, "Your Majesty, this is what I said. The three key points of the Legalists are: magic power, if you hold the law and deal with the situation, you will be governed; if you go against the law and cast the situation, you will be confused. In the past, the momentum was in the King of Wu.
With his hands, Lu Xun is as gentle as a virgin. Now that his power is in my hands, the King of Wu cannot control his ordinary men..."
Liu Chan nodded in a timid way, and as for how much he understood, he probably only knew.
Zhuge Liang looked at his trembling look and sighed secretly. He knew that he had said so much, but Liu Chan might not really understand. However, he also knew how Liu Chan was thinking. He didn't expect him to learn from it and learn from it.
, he was satisfied.
He hopes that Zhuge Ke, who is standing aside, can understand.
Sun Deng was Liu Chan's companion, and Zhuge Ke was Sun Deng's companion. Gu Tan entered the Prime Minister's Mansion to assist Liao Li in handling government affairs. Because Zhuge Ke was Zhuge Liang's nephew, Zhuge Liang avoided suspicion and did not entrust him into the mansion. Zhuge Ke
I have been following Sun Deng. These days, Zhuge Liang has taught Liu Chan and Sun Deng, but Zhuge Ke has benefited the most.
Sun Deng left due to illness. It is said that Zhuge Ke should have walked with him, but Zhuge Ke did not leave today, and he kept standing by listening. But he had his eyelids drooped, and Zhuge Liang couldn't see his eyes, and didn't know he was
What to think.
After the lecture, Zhuge Liang slowly walked out of the hall, and Zhuge Ke followed closely. The uncle and nephew, one after another, accompanied half a step away.
"Yuan Xun, what do you think?"
Zhuge Ke replied without thinking, "There is nothing else, you can bully others by relying on your power."
