Yin Fan was under house arrest in Linyuan.

Wei Ba arranged a few guards to him, saying that they were protecting him, but actually monitoring him. Every day, he not only walked around the city, looked at the ordinary scenery everywhere, saw the daily lives of ordinary people, and enjoyed the market.

The crowds were passing by, and merchants with local accents were selling all kinds of goods, and they couldn't do anything else. Those places where he was interested would be stopped by various excuses a hundred steps away, even looking at the shadows.

No.

Yin Fan wanted to protest to Wei Ba, but unfortunately this was even more impossible. If Wei Ba trained in the military camp, he could not even enter the military camp. If Wei Ba was in the mansion, it would be a rest time, please do not disturb. In short, a word

, Just play by yourself. I don’t have time to accompany you, so don’t bother me.

Yinfan was originally going to use the banner of General Cavalry to suppress Wei Ba, but he immediately found that Wei Ba did not seem to take Li Yan seriously at all. At least he was not nervous because Li Yan's official position was higher than him.

This reliance did not work, Yin Fan could only be at the mercy of Wei Ba and patiently waited for the day to leave Linyuan.

Like today, it is really rare for Yinfan to take the time to meet him. However, such a rare thing was disturbed by unexpected guests, and Yinfan couldn't help but ignore him.

Yinfan couldn't ask directly, but he could ask around.

"Why, General Zhennan wants to take me as a gift and send me back to Cao Wei?" Yinfan deliberately sneered: "General Zhennan is really a polite and polite person. Are you not afraid that General Cavalry will be unhappy?"

Fa Miao smiled and said, "Yuan Feng is worried too much, this guest has nothing to do with you."

"Is that true?" Yinfan laughed quietly: "That's to do shameful things, such as selling grain to Wei?"

Fa Miao frowned: "Where did you hear it? The rumors end with the wise man. Why do you believe these rumors like this? Don't guess, this guest has nothing to do with the State of Wei."

Yinfan felt aroused. Just as he was about to ask again, Fa Miao led him into a room, bowed his hand, hurriedly explained a few words, turned around and left. Yinfan was nervous, and he immediately thought about it. It was not from Wei, so

Where can it be? The important officials of Shu Han were not in Chengdu. Could it be the envoy of Emperor Liu Chan or the person from Eastern Wu? Although Yinfan didn't know what the transaction between Wei and Wu, he knew very well that in this case, Cao Rui

He will definitely appease Sun Quan first to avoid being attacked on both sides. Sun Quan will definitely watch the wall and wait for an opportunity to move. The agreement between them may break down at any time. All Cao Rui can do is to buy time as much as possible.

If it is from Chengdu, Yinfan doesn’t have to take it seriously, but if it is from Wuchang, the matter will be serious.

Yin Fan was anxious and became more nervous the more he thought about it.

...

Wei Ba and Zhuge Ke sat opposite each other, chatting and laughing, not at all like an opponent who had fought for life and death.

"Xiangyang is in a big battle. Why is General Zhennan still in Linyuan?" Zhuge Ke said with a smile: "Don't you go to Xiangyang to get a share of the pie?"

Wei Ba laughed: "Brother Yuan Xun, speaking of this, you and Bosong are brothers, but in terms of being a human being, you are not as kind as Bosong."

"How do you say this?"

"The General of the Cavalry attacked Xiangyang with 50,000 troops, with sufficient troops and sufficient food, and proper tactics, it is easy to take Xiangyang. I just need to be a grain transport officer with peace of mind, so why bother to follow him in a hurry? Do you think you are? Those who know

He said that I care about General Cavalry, and those who don’t know thought I was going to take credit. I became famous when I was young and had already slandered books and had rumors. Why bother to make this smell of fishy smell?"

"The general is so confident in the battle in Xiangyang? Xiangyang is not that easy to fight. The general of the auxiliary country got the help of the general and attacked for more than a month, but he still couldn't take Xiangyang." Zhuge Ke smiled and said with something in his words

: "Without the general's help, Li Yan could conquer Xiangyang? In this way, General Sui Guo failed to take Xiangyang back then, wouldn't he be implicated by the general?"

"This time, that time is also the time." Wei Ba said without changing his face: "Yuan Xun, you must have never been to Xiangyang."

Zhuge Ke was stunned: "How do you know?"

"Because if you have been to Xiangyang, you won't say that." Wei Ba roughly said the geographical situation around Xiangyang, and finally said: "The reason why Xiangyang City is easy to defend and difficult to attack is because it has Xian Mountain to the south.

The second is that the Han River is that the enemy cannot break through to the north and east, but he can obtain support through Fancheng. Now the Wei Navy has been completely wiped out by our Hanzhong Navy, and the Han River has been controlled by our army.

Fancheng sighed when he looked at the water. Even if the Wei army had thousands of iron cavalry and could not cross the Han River, Xiangyang was an isolated city. Since it was an isolated city, as long as there was enough time, it would definitely be able to conquer it, don't you?"

Zhuge Ke's eyes twitched slightly. The reason Wei Ba said was not complicated. He understood this principle. If it was true as Wei Ba said, the Hanzhong Navy controlled the Han River, making it impossible for the Wei army to cross the Han River to support it.

In Xiangyang, it was indeed only a matter of time before the fall of Xiangyang. When Guan Yu made an Northern Expedition, why did he take Fancheng first? He wanted to cut off the foreign aid from Xiangyang City and then trap Xiangyang to death. However, later the troops and military rations were too short to meet the requirements of the war, and he was ambushed by the Wu army.

This is the result of failure.

Now Li Yan has a large army of 60,000, and sufficient troops. Wei Ba is preparing food and grass for him. Without any worries, Li Yan is patient and chews one by one, and he will definitely be able to take down Xiangyang. If Xiangyang falls into Li Yan's hands, Shu Han will

Coming out of the mountains of Hanzhong and inserting a foot into this sensitive place will make the situation more complicated in the future.

Wu did not want to see this scene.

"As for the General of the Fuguo, hehe, I want to say a few rude words." Wei Ba turned a blind eye to Zhuge Ke's changing face and continued: "The General of the Fuguo uses military force, of course there is nothing to say, it is as meticulous as a slim and without any gaps.

But there is a bad thing about him, that is, he is too cautious and dare not fight to the death. If he dares to fight to the death, Xiangyang would have been able to conquer it back then. If he dares to fight to the death, I would probably have become his under Linhe City.

Captive. This marching and fighting is of course important, but it is very important to make decisions on the spot and dare to fight. Do you think this is the reason?"

Zhuge Ke nodded with the same feeling. On this point, he agreed with Wei Ba's statement very much because he is also a person who likes gambling and he also has a lot of complaints about Lu Xun's military use. Wei Ba criticized Lu Xun, so he naturally

I feel sorry for it.

"Actually, I think the general of the auxiliary country is not afraid to fight. He just values ​​those interests too much and dare not give it a try." Wei Ba continued to spare no effort to give Lu Xun eyes. He knew that Zhuge Ke and Lu Xun were not in harmony, and he also knew that Zhuge Ke also knew that Zhuge Ke was not in harmony with him, and also knew that Zhuge Ke

It is very popular in Sun Quan's eyes. It is also very interesting to be able to slander Lu Xun by Zhuge Ke's mouth and make things worse for Sun Quan. Anyway, it doesn't take any effort, so why not do it?

Zhuge Ke was very pleasant to hear, but he had not forgotten his purpose.

"The general really doesn't plan to join the war?"

"It's not that I don't plan, it's that I don't want to compete for merit with the General of the Cavalry." Wei Ba pondered for a moment, looked at Zhuge Ke, wanted to speak but stopped, and smiled concealedly: "Forget it, although we are allies, the King of Wu is the one who is the King of Wu.

It is already commendable to allow me to pass through Nanjun. If I make other requests, I will feel a little confused."

Zhuge Ke's heart moved and he quickly smiled and said, "Whether to succeed or not, we have to wait for the king to decide, but if you don't say it, how can you know that it won't work?"

Wei Ba avoided answering and asked with a serious face: "I made an appointment to leave Xiangyang and the King of Wu leaves Jianghuai. Now Xiangyang is already busy, why is there no movement in Jianghuai yet?"

Zhuge Ke faced Wei Ba's staring eyes and smiled unfathomablely: "Do you really don't know the reason?"

Wei Ba frowned: "How do I know what your king and minister of Wu are thinking again?"

"Because of you." Zhuge Ke smiled and raised his hand, pointing to Wei Ba: "With a tiger like a general, how can we not defend heavily? You won't be able to see that I, Da Wu, have at least three points.

Who are you guarding against?”

"Are you worried about me?" Wei Ba screamed exaggeratedly, laughing and crying: "You...we are allies."

"General, we are in tune with each other, so we won't say these lies." Zhuge Ke shook his hand very directly: "If you keep staying in Linyuan, we will never be able to launch the Jianghuai war. If you are willing, you will be willing to do so.

When we go to Xiangyang, we follow the existing agreement, you can go north through the agreed route. If you refuse to go to Xiangyang, then just go to Jiaozhou to spend the winter. If you don’t leave, we will never send troops.”

Wei Ba narrowed his eyes and pondered for a while: "If so, then I can go north, but I don't want to follow the route we agreed on at the beginning. I want you to be more generous and let my army pass through Jiangxia. Your king has this.

Are you brave enough?”

"What does the general mean?"

Wei Ba hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, made up his mind, stood up and waved to Zhuge Ke: "Follow me."

Zhuge Ke was inexplicably but his heart was involuntarily beat faster. Judging from the subtle changes in Wei Ba's expression, what Wei Ba wanted to tell him was obviously a very important plan. Being able to discuss combat plans with such a famous general is a very rare opportunity.

At least we can learn some of Wei Ba’s decision-making ideas, and fight with him in the future and be targeted.

Zhuge Ke followed Wei Ba into the study and was shocked when he saw the sand table marked with the terrain of various places. He rushed to the sand table and showed his greedy eyes uncontrollably.

"General, is this imitating Ma Fubo's rice-making mountain?"

Wei Ba's eyes flashed and he smiled, "Yuan Xun is indeed knowledgeable and has revealed his origin at a glance, and he doesn't even give me a chance to show off."

Zhuge Ke laughed and felt relieved. He not only opened his eyes, but also suppressed Wei Ba, and was naturally proud. However, when he saw the marching route passing through Jiangxia, all his pride was gone.

Instead, he took a breath and said for a long time: "General... is so brave."
