Wei Ba held on to a rough tree pole and looked at the fire inside and outside Fangling City in the distance, feeling extremely heavy.
Sima Yi did not send anyone to attack at all. He just attacked Fangling unscrupulously and even more violently. He clearly expressed his contempt for the so-called reinforcements. After attacking for a whole day during the day, he withdrew his troops back to camp in the evening. Wei Ba thought that today
The day passed. Unexpectedly, just an hour later, the war drums sounded again, and the Wei army launched another attack.
What did Sima Yi want to do? Wei Ba thought a lot. Although he was not sure whether Sima Yi was as he suspected, Sima Yi did not take the reinforcements seriously, but wanted to capture Fangling in one go. This is obvious. This has nothing to do with the reinforcements.
It has nothing to do with his arrival, he was originally a surprise attack, and a surprise attack is all about quick victory. If it drags on for a long time, his own food pressure will force him to return without success.
Wei Ba knew that Fangling was under great pressure under such an attack regardless of the cost. Meng Da was probably already shouting for help. As reinforcements, he should take the initiative to attack at this time to reduce the pressure on the city and give them confidence.
But Wei Ba also knew that it was okay for him, with more than a thousand people, to defend this hilltop. If he wanted to take the initiative to attack a camp with tens of thousands of people, even if the opponent was attacking the city, it would be a very risky idea. It sounds very passionate, but in reality
It's very **. The only result of doing this is to waste the lives of more than a thousand people, but it will not have any impact on the actual war situation.
Once more than a thousand of his men were defeated by Sima Yi, or even their heads were chopped off by Sima Yi and taken to the city, the defenders on the city would probably collapse immediately, which actually did Sima Yi a favor.
Wei Ba would not do such a stupid thing. He would rather watch Meng Da be killed by Sima Yi than do this.
In fact, whether Meng Da dies or not, and whether Fangling will be captured by Sima Yi, are not the main issues in the first place. The purpose of his hard work is not to save Meng Da at all, but to have his own goal - to show Zhuge Liang his abilities.
, and moderately test Zhuge Liang's bottom line to see to what extent he can accept his subordinates to do their own thing, and conduct risk assessments for future troops to leave Ziwu Valley. As long as this goal can be achieved, what does Meng Da's life and death have to do with me?
It is unwise to anger Zhuge Liang in order to save Meng Da, but to sacrifice his own life in order to save Meng Da is not a question of wisdom or unwiseness, but a complete fool and 200% **.
Now that Wei Ba still doesn't understand Zhuge Liang's attitude towards Meng Da, then he has lived twice in vain. Meng Da is capricious and even more unreliable than Lu Bu back then. What's worse than Lu Bu is that he is also in conflict with
The remaining Dongzhou forces within the Shu Han are inextricably linked. Once he returns to the Shu Han and the Dongzhou Clan re-emerges, the Jingxiang Clan represented by Zhuge Liang will inevitably be restrained. As a member of the Jingxiang Clan, Wei Ba is unwilling to
Seeing this scene unfold, more importantly, if Meng Da becomes one of his own, the status of the Wei family in Hanzhong will also be greatly affected. This is a result that Wei Ba is even less willing to see.
From Zhuge Liang's point of view, the purpose of supporting Meng Da was not to rescue Meng Da, but to ensure that Meng Da could sustain it and restrain Sima Yi for half a year or more, so that he would have enough time to conquer Longyou.
From Wei Ba's point of view, the purpose of crossing mountains and ridges to support Meng Da was just to realize his personal ambitions.
Under such circumstances, how could he choose to rush down the mountain and attack like a moth to a flame?
"Join the army. If you keep waiting like this, I'm afraid the city won't be able to support it." Zhang Wei squatted on another thick branch and reminded softly.
"I know, but it doesn't make any sense for us to rush down like this." Wei Ba looked at the Wei army camp in the distance and said faintly: "Ziwang, have you noticed that there is no one in the camp facing us?
According to the scale, there should be about two to three thousand people. As long as we rush down, we will face two to three times the number of enemies. If we want to come back, it will not be that easy."
Zhang Jiao sniffed. The night wind was very cold. Although he could see far from this height, it made his whole body cold and uncomfortable. He took out a handkerchief from his arms, wiped his nose, and put it back.
, chewing his nose and said: "But if we sit back and ignore it, it won't be long before the people in the city become desperate."
"Yes, we have to give them a little hope." Wei Ba took another look at the battlefield at the bottom of the mountain and slid down the tree trunk. Zhou Yu had been waiting below with his head raised. When he saw Wei Ba and the others coming down, he roared anxiously.
asked: "How is it? Is the fight intense?"
Wei Ba nodded, walked quickly back to his tent, and spread out the map. His eyes roamed back and forth on the map, trying to find a weak point that could be attacked. His eyes slowly turned to Mulansai again.
After thinking for a long time, he shook his head. Mulansai is more than 400 miles away from here, and water from far away cannot quench the thirst nearby. Besides, eldest brother Wei Feng has already taken more than 4,000 people there. Without him, there will be no big impact on the more than 1,000 people.
. Even if Mulan Fortress is captured, it will still take three or four days to get here. Whether we can make it in time is still doubtful.
Wei Ba poked Mulan's plug with his finger and sighed regretfully.
"Young Master, do you want to find other reinforcements?" Dunwu asked softly.
"Well, with just a thousand of us, it's okay to bluff, but if we really want to launch an attack, it's basically useless. I'm thinking that if there are a few thousand more people, maybe we can give it a try."
Dunwu hesitated for a moment: "Can Wu Jun do it?"
"Wu Jun?" Wei Ba was a little surprised: "Meng Da still has contact with the Wu people?"
Dunwu looked at him in surprise: "Young Master, don't you know?"
Wei Ba said with a dark face: "How do I know this? You never said anything."
Dunwu scratched his head and did not argue anymore. "Fangling is a very critical location. You can enter Nanyang to the east, Hanzhong to the west, and Zigui to the south. After he surrendered to Cao Wei, Fangling became the Three Kingdoms
The contact point between Cao Wei and Cao Wei, and I surrendered to Cao Wei, and even the envoys from both sides passed through Fangling. After the defeat of Guanhou, Zigui and Wu County were classified as Guling County by the Wu people, and Wu general Pan
Zhang is the governor of Guling and is stationed in Zigui. According to the information we have received, Mengda also has contacts with the Wu people. This time he rebels against Wei, he is likely to get in touch with the Wu people and request reinforcements."
Wei Ba let out a long breath. The matter was far more serious than he expected. Meng Da actually stepped on two boats. He didn't want to surrender to Shu Han at all. In other words, he didn't mean it at all. He just wanted to
Dominating the three eastern counties, wandering among the three kingdoms, and occupying the mountain as the king. No wonder Zhuge Liang has no sincerity to save him. Such an immature creature will die early and be reborn.
"Then...where will Wu Jun come for reinforcements?"
"Anqiao Fortress." Dunwu clicked not far from Fanglingnan.
Wei Ba's eyes suddenly lit up: "How far is it from here?"
"Less than a hundred miles."
"Do you know the way?"
Dunwu glanced at Wei Ba in confusion and laughed: "Of course I know him. I have entered Zigui through this road many times before to inquire about news about the Wu people."
Wei Ba also smiled and clapped his hands: "Call Zhang Jiao and Zhou Yu, I have a solution."
Dunwu saw that Wei Ba was happy, and he was also happy, so he turned around and went out. Not long after, Zhou Yu and Zhang Jiao came excitedly. As soon as they entered the tent, they asked impatiently: "Join the army, is there any way?"
"Well, I thought of a way." Wei Ba motioned them to sit down, pointed to the position of Anqiao Fort and said: "We don't have enough power, but there is a force, which is probably not far away."
"Wu Jun?" Zhang Jian glanced at him and screamed in surprise.
"Yes. If my guess is right, Wu Jun is probably on the way to help. Anqiao Fort is the best place to stop them. But it is impossible for Sima Yi not to notice this. He will definitely send people to guard it, just like Mulan Fort
Likewise, it will be difficult for Wu's army to break through from the front. If we attack Anqiao Fortress from behind and bring Wu's army in, we will have enough power to threaten Sima Yi."
"What a plan!" Zhou Yu praised.
Zhang Jiao was silent for a moment: "Joining the army and leading the Wu army into Fangling will lead to the wolf entering the house."
Wei Ba laughed. He was not worried about this. Since Meng Da wanted to ride on two boats, it would be impossible for Fangling to become part of the Shu Han. With the current situation, if the Wu army is not led into the new city, the new city will definitely remain.
It was taken away by Sima Yi. Instead of doing this, it is better to lead the Wu army in and muddy the water.
Only when the water is muddy can you fish in troubled waters. And attacking Anqiao Fortress with more than a thousand men is safer than going down the mountain to attack Sima Yi's camp.
Of course, these inside stories cannot be told to Zhang Jian and others, as long as they carry out the orders. Maintaining a sense of mystery is also a skill of being an official.
Seeing Wei Ba's insistence, Zhang Wei no longer objected. Wei Ba immediately ordered a few people to stay here to look after the signal lights, and he quietly left the mountain with his people and rushed to Anqiao Fortress overnight.
