"Ma Zongjun is right. The war is imminent, and I am not suitable to stay here." Xiahou Hui lowered his head, stroking the wrinkles that did not exist on his sleeves one after another.

Wei Ba frowned and said unhappily: "I can adopt his suggestion or not."

"But you should adopt this." Xiahou Hui raised his head, with an unnatural smile on his face, but his eyes were very firm. "Besides, I am here, not only difficult for you, but also for me. I heard that Zhongquan

We also arrived in Xiangyang. Once the war started, he would definitely lead by example. You have too many opportunities to play against each other, and I don’t want to see any of you die in the hands of the other party.”

Wei Ba frowned tighter and tighter. He also knew that Ma Su's suggestion was correct. During this war, Xiahou Hui should be avoided. But he heard another meaning from it. Zhuge Liang was using his position to

He had an influence and had already penetrated into his private affairs. This can not only show Zhuge Liang's concern for him, but also see Zhuge Liang attaches importance to him and wants to manipulate him in another way.

It all depends on what you think.

Wei Ba did not believe that he would become the successor in Zhuge Liang's mind and would be cultivated by Zhuge Liang. He was not so narcissistic. From Ma Su's words, Wei Ba knew that Zhuge Liang wrote a letter to the chief of the residence, praising Jiang Wei.

, The evaluation exceeded Ma Liang. He was called a sergeant in Liangzhou and was agile in military affairs. He wanted to lead 5,000 tiger infantrymen. This was a very sensitive signal. Jiang Wei was a surrendered general with no size, and he was suddenly

He was given 5,000 soldiers, and was the Hubu Camp among the Imperial Guards. His intention to promote Jiang Wei was already very obvious.

This is a favored encounter that Ma Su did not even dare to think about it. If he had asked him to guess, he could only say that if Zhuge Qiao's performance in the Fangling War satisfied Zhuge Liang, he might have had this special encounter.

The opportunity actually fell on Jiang Wei's head. No matter what, he thought that Zhuge Liang would treat himself as a successor.

Since this is the case, of course he could only think about Xiahou Hui's affairs. What's more, Zhuge Liang had no idea whether Xiahou Hui had anything to do with the leaked secrets of the warship, so he made this decision to replace the warship and could not let him go.

He was alert and resisted.

But Xiahou Hui's words made him relax. It was inhumane to make Xiahou Hui face such a dilemma.

"Besides, we are just apart for the time being." Xiahou Hui felt a little relieved when he saw Wei Ba in embarrassment. She smiled and comforted Wei Ba, saying, "You are coming to Chengdu soon, we are just together again."

”

When it comes to this matter, Wei Ba was even more troubled and unhappy. His father was promoted to the position of General Zhenbei and Guanzhong Commander, and he was a well-deserved general. This is a good thing, but on the other hand, it is also a bad thing.

Conventionally, the general of guarding one party needs to place his family in Chengdu as hostages. In the past, Wei Yan guarded Hanzhong and his family accompanied him, which was made by Liu Bei himself, and Zhuge Liang did not change after taking charge of the government. Now, taking advantage of this promotion opportunity, it is natural to do so.

The Wei family issued an order. There was no reason for refusal. The family members had to move to Chengdu. If Xiahou Hui went to the Wei family manor in Nanzheng, of course, he would also move there with him.

Wei Ba himself, following Xiang Lang's tip, must go to Chengdu. No matter in this era or in the future, it is difficult for anyone in the court to be an official. Even if you are a general in the country, if there is no one to speak for you in the court,

You can't be able to do it for a long time. Wei Yan used to be extremely popular and had almost no foundation in Chengdu. Among the Wei brothers, no one except him was competent for this task. So after the Battle of Xiangyang, no accident, he also

Will go to Chengdu.

"Okay, you go to Nanzheng first to meet your mother, and then go to Chengdu with them to meet Mrs. Xiahou." Wei Ba made the final decision.

"Yes." Xiahou Hui lowered his head.

At this time, the bell standing beside him suddenly asked: "Girl, can I...can I stay?"

Wei Ba asked in surprise: "You? What are you leaving behind?"

"I..." Lingling was a little nervous, and her hands kept touching the long sword around her waist. "I know martial arts, I can protect you." She looked at it, saw Wei Ba's strange expression, and then shook her hand and said: "You

Don't think wrongly, I don't mean that, I... I can stay away from your tent. Besides, I don't know how to read, so you don't have to worry about me."

Looking at the bell with red face and shaking its head like a rattle, Wei Ba was even more puzzled. "Then what do you want to do if you stay?"

Lingdang clenched her teeth and suddenly said, "I...I want to...kill someone."

Wei Ba was startled: "Who to kill?"

But Xiahou Hui suddenly thought of something: "Do you want to kill the Wu people?"

"Yeah." Lingling sniffed: "I know there is no chance, but I want to give it a try."

Wei Ba looked at the bell suspiciously, and then looked at Xiahou Hui, not understanding what this means.

"Husband, just leave the bell." Xiahou Hui laughed apologetically and said softly: "I have kept the bell from you. She is not a slave in my family. In fact, she is from Wu and escaped from Jiangdong.

”

"Then who are you?" Wei Ba was even more imposing. Xiahou Hui belonged to Wei, and this was already a big deal. Why did a Wu Kingdom appear? Who did Lingdang want to kill Wu Kingdom? What is it?

How could she be so jealous of the Wu people?

The bell gritted her teeth, tears poured out from her eyes and slid down her face. She did not answer Wei Ba's words, but reached into her arms, took out a bell, tied it silently to the hilt of the sword, and then raised her head,

He raised his tears and said: "Join the army, you should have heard Feng Jin and the others say this bell?"

Wei Ba was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but take a breath. He recently got very close to Feng Jin and others in order to transform the warship, and also heard a lot of stories about water thieves, many of which were indeed about one

It's a bell. However, this bell has long been a legend, how could it suddenly appear in front of me?

The breeze came, and the bell was as clear and pleasant as "Ding Dang", but to Wei Ba, the bell was like the tail of a rattlesnake, and every sound reminded the enemy: Please do not approach, the person blocking the way will die.

"You actually... are..."

"Yes, I am." Lingling lowered her head and knelt down on one leg: "Please also keep it secret with the girl."

Xiahou Hui looked at Wei Ba in surprise: "You... bell, who are you?"

Wei Ba smiled bitterly, touched Xiahou Hui's ear and whispered a few words. Xiahou Hui opened his eyes wide in surprise, and couldn't help but cover his mouth with his hands.

...

Wei Ba sent Xiahou Hui away and asked her and Huan'er to return to Nanzheng first. Then he started to get busy. Ma Su's arrival brought Zhuge Liang's expectations for Fangling's army, which was to acquiesce to their right to take the initiative to create fighter jets.

Although there is no news that people will be arranged to support him, this order is enough to make Wu Yi, Meng Da and others breathe a sigh of relief.

With the efforts of countless scouts, news from the Wei army continued to spread, and the deterioration of the relationship with the Wu Kingdom made Cao Wei feel more pressure. Cao Rui began to shift the focus of the battlefield to Xiangyang.

General Sima Yi has withdrawn from Wuguan to Nanyang and is currently stationed in Xinye. General Chen Quntong of the Fu Army urgently recruited 50,000 troops stationed in Xuchang, guarding the capital, and preparing to support Nanyang. General Man Chong of the East Expedition Army is approaching Lujiang and ready to cross the river at any time.

Attack Wu. What is even more worrying is that of the 50,000 troops led by Chen Qun, 10,000 of the 50,000 troops recruited from the northern border, led by Tian Yu, the general of the northern border of Weizhen. Once the war in Xiangyang begins, Tian Yu will be promoted to the general

You can lead the Ten Thousand Hu Cavalry to reinforce at any time.

Ten thousand Hu cavalry, plus nearly ten thousand cavalry from Wancheng and Xinye, Cao Rui gathered 20,000 cavalry to prepare for this war. It can be said that they went all out and prepared for the bloody battle to the end and would never give up.

Xiangyang.

Cao Wei directly participated in the war with more than 100,000 troops, and in Nanyang alone there were 60,000. With the 30,000 rammed crowds of Shu and the 50,000 main forces of Wu, both sides were guarding against each other. If they wanted to win the battle in Xiangyang, it was almost the same.

A kind of delusion.

Even Wu Yi and Meng Da, who were eager to fight, gave up after receiving the news of the Wei army's strength. In their opinion, the ally of Wu State was unreliable. It was commendable not to stab the knife in the back. I hope they would stand shoulder to shoulder.

In combat, this matter is not reliable. With 30,000 Shu troops as the main force and there are not enough warships, it is very difficult to achieve substantial results.

Everyone hopes to make meritorious service, but if the strength is too great and taking the initiative to attack is equivalent to dying, it will be boring.

Everyone's eyes fell on the two soldiers from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Wei Ba and Ma Su were under great pressure. They knew very well what Zhuge Liang expected of them, but the gap in strength between the two sides was there, and they could not find a way to defeat the enemy for a while. Wei Ba was talented in the military, but he was the most proud of it.

There is only one armored ship, and it is impossible to build it urgently. Neither this condition nor time can be used. Other weapons can make up for some gaps, but they cannot improve combat effectiveness without limit. After all, these machinery are not epoch-making technology, and their efficiency has been improved.

, but there is no absolute change in nature.

Wei Ba and Ma Su thought for a long time and decided to contact Zhuge Liang and Eastern Wu. If both sides could cooperate in the fight, there would be some hope of victory.

Just as they were about to report to the Prime Minister's Office, Fei Yi and Zhang Wen came together. They also brought the Prime Minister's Office's orders and Sun Quan's intention to cooperate, as well as the invitation letter from the General Lu Xun of the auxiliary state. Lu Xun invited Wei Ba to Xiling.

Let’s go and discuss a plan to cooperate in sending troops.

Zhang Wengang made this suggestion with a smile. Before Wei Ba answered, Ma Su interrupted him lukewarmly: "Ziyu is a military officer in the Prime Minister's Office of the Great Han Dynasty. Without the Prime Minister's order, he cannot meet with the General of the Assistant State.

, It's unreasonable for the General of the State to discuss the strategy, and he should discuss with General Wu and General Meng. How could he meet with a member of the army? The Lu family is known as one of the four surnames of Wu County, so how could he act in such an inappropriate manner?”
