Chapter 277: Can Endure Lu Xun
After receiving the news from Wei Ba, Fei Yi pondered for a long time and finally said Wei Ba's words to Lu Xun intact.
When he received Lu Lan's report, Lu Xun disagreed. In his opinion, Wei Ba was holding on and trying to save face. As long as there were two more rounds, he would rush to Xiling half-heartedly. When Fei Yi presented the letter written by Wei Ba, especially the three-day period, he realized that Wei Ba was not a joke, not a ritual reserve, but a real dissatisfaction with the alliance.
"Three days?" Lu Xun, who has always been serious, smiled rare, but his laughter was very complicated, both unhappy and funny: "This letter only takes one day to get here from Anqiao. Even if I set out now, it will take two days to get to Anqiao. Is he asking me to enforce orders?"
Fei Yi smiled slightly: "Wei Ba is still young and has a good time in his work. He doesn't like to procrastinate. If the general doesn't mean to go, then just reply to him, and the fast horse can be delivered in just one day."
Lu Xun lowered his face: "Fei Wenwei, Wei Ba is young and ignorant, you are not sensible either? It is such an important matter for the two countries to form an alliance, but you actually listen to the arrangements of a young man?"
Fei Yi shrugged: "Prime Minister Zhuge can hand over this task to him, and the general also pointed out that he would be interviewed with him, which is enough to prove that he is very important. Since that is the case, what's wrong with my plan?"
Lu Xun snorted, and Lu Lan immediately said, "The general is busy with military affairs, how can he leave just by saying that?"
Fei Yi was also a little impatient and said indifferently: "Wei Ba said it very clearly. If the general really can't leave, it's better not to talk about it, everyone will fight their own. This will save you from being entangled in the future for the results of the battle."
"Without us, you can win?" Pan Zhang couldn't help but shouted sternly.
Fei Yi turned his head, looked at Pan Zhang up and down, and glanced at the corner of his mouth: "Before the Battle of Fangling, no one would believe that Wei Ba could repel Sima Yi. Before the Northern Expedition, no one would believe that Wei Ba could defend Guanzhong. You can't see the results of Guanzhong. General Pan should know clearly what Fangling saw with his own eyes."
As soon as he heard the word Fang Ling, Pan Zhang was so angry that his beard and his chest ached again.
Fei Yi ignored him, bowed his hand, turned around and left.
Seeing Fei Yi leaving, Lu Xun and others looked at each other. Pan Zhang felt very embarrassed and stood up to say goodbye in anger. The others also left one after another, and only Lu Xun and Lu Lan were left in the lobby.
Lu Xun pondered and said nothing. After a long time, he raised his hand, shaved his eyebrows with his little finger nails, and smiled and said, "I'm very curious about him. How could such an inequality young man make Zhuge Liang so difficult?"
Lu Lan said with some concern: "General, we... are really going?"
"Of course I have to go, but if I don't go, it will be too late." Lu Xun stood up and shook his big cloak: "He can be a little bitch, but I can't ignore the overall situation. Now, it's better to go there than if he leaves, right?"
Lu Lan shook her head in frustration, and wanted to speak but stopped. Lu Xun saw it and smiled slightly: "On the battlefield, what is fighting for is the victory or defeat, the interests, not the will. You must be able to endure what others cannot endure, so that you can achieve what others cannot achieve."
Lu Lan nodded relievedly: "Here."
I heard that Lu Xun really had to rush to Anqiao Pass immediately, Fei Yi came to his senses for a long time. To be honest, even he thought Wei Ba was a bit unreliable. Lu Xun would listen to him and take the initiative to rush to Anqiao Pass to meet? Now the Wu army has a 50,000 army, Shu Han only has 30,000, and the Wu army has a navy. In this battle, the Wu army is the undeserved main force. Lu Xun is also a famous general. Can he be condescending and take the initiative to join the army, a young Wei Ba who has just won the title?
However, this was the case. Lu Xun agreed and immediately rushed to Anqiao Pass. Fei Yi was surprised and immediately wrote the story into a report, rushed to Yong'an, and then set off with Lu Xun.
...
Wei Ba sat on the battlements of Anqiao, his legs hanging outside the city wall, looking at the black and deserted mountains in the distance. If I remember well, there should be a big river there shining with silver under the moonlight, but the silver light was a bit muted and dark red blood.
That was the blood of more than 100,000 soldiers who followed Liu Bei's eastern expedition.
At that time, Liu Bei, who had been cowardly for life, had just ascended the throne and became emperor. His lifelong opponent Cao Cao had passed away. He thought that he was invincible in the world, so despite the dissuasion of Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun and others, he conquered the elite Yizhou troops from the east, but unexpectedly he was defeated. The accumulated strength of Yizhou has also suffered heavy losses. Liu Bei was not so much a death from illness in the end, but he was pissed to death. His greatest chance of winning in his life was nothing more than a successor of a junior.
That person is Lu Xun.
That year, Lu Xun was just 39 years old. As the supreme commander of a war that concerns the life and death of the Wu Kingdom, he was still very young. If Zhou Yu, who had not defeated Cao Cao in Chibi at the age of 34, was good at beauty, if his opponent was Liu Bei, the lord of righteousness, promoted by Luo Guanzhong, his image would be radiant, rather than the poor man who returned in front of a pile of stones.
This is one of the two ministers who can be published separately in "The Three Kingdoms". In addition to him, the other one who has received such honor is Zhuge Liang.
However, today, he was going to confront Lu Xun face to face. Wei Ba had to do his best and make all preparations. The more he prepared now, the more calm he would be. He did not have a Dumai on hand, nor did the Three Kingdoms, but he had people around him who were familiar with Lu Xun's behavior, such as Fei Yi, Li Fu, and... the maid with a bell tied to the sword ring behind him.
These people may not have a comprehensive understanding of Lu Xun, but they are more direct.
Wei Ba sprinkled the stones in his hand on the battlements, confusing the stone formation he had just used to represent the strength of the three parties, and shouted: "Bell."
"Join the Army." The bell took a step forward, and the bell on the sword ring sounded softly in the night wind.
"How old were you when you left Jiangdong?"
"Eleven."
"Oh, so small." Wei Ba picked up the wine glass, and the bell immediately lifted the wine pot, filling him with it. Wei Ba leaned over to his mouth and took a sip: "Do you still have an impression of Lu Xun?"
"There is one thing, not much." Lingling curled her lips: "My father said he is a turtle."
"Turtle?" Wei Ba laughed: "Why is your father evading him like this?"
"Because he can tolerate it." Lingling's mouth turned even more powerful. "My father said that the Lu family was killed by the general who was seeking rebellion, and he could tolerate it. He also married the daughter of the general who seeks rebellion as his wife. In this world, only a turtle can do it."
Wei Ba tried a lot of effort to not spit out the wine in his mouth. Unexpectedly, the famous Lu Xun actually became a ninja turtle of the Three Kingdoms era. This is too nonsensical. However, thinking about the temper of the person who said this, it is not surprising that he made such an evaluation.
To be honest, this metaphor... is really appropriate. In front of Sun Quan, the strong monarch, Lu Xun, although he was very strong, he could only endure it and could not get over Sun Quan in the end. After their honeymoon period, Lu Xun was forced to death by Sun Quan by accident. His forbearance still broke his merit in front of the monarch's authority.
He was not as lucky as Zhuge Liang in this regard. He was almost as old as Sun Quan, but Zhuge Liang was twenty years younger than Liu Bei.
Fortunately, it is not difficult for Wei Ba to confront these strong opponents, at least in the short term. Because these people think too much and worry too much, but he can do the opposite and break their finger softness with the simplest and most direct attack.
It was precisely because of this idea that he believed that Lu Xun would take the initiative to come to Anqiao, just as he believed that Zhuge Liang would eventually enter Guanzhong.
"Ling, you should know that although I agree to you stay, your wish is almost impossible to realize." Wei Ba looked at the bell's face, which was very ordinary but had a little tough or even fierce. Thinking about the strength of the girl when she moved most of the bucket out of the tent that night, she couldn't help but feel excited. This girl's skill is so strong that if her legs are wrapped around, will she pinch her waist off?
"I know this." Lingdang said disapprovingly: "I just don't want to give up. Maybe God has eyes and will give me this opportunity."
"God... I don't usually have much eyes." Wei Ba smiled.
Lingling was a little confused, looked at Wei Ba with a bitter face, asking for help: "What should I do if I join the army?"
"If God doesn't have eyes, we can't put our hopes on him." Wei Ba was drinking happily, chatting without any problems. This girl Lingdang is good at skill, but her mind is not outstanding. She is far from being a talent like Peng Xiaoyu and Xiahou Hui. "We should help God open my eyes and teach those ungrateful people a lesson."
"Is it considered ungrateful to you that the governor is so kind to you, but you sold him?"
Wei Ba was stunned and then said annoyedly: "Have you listened to me? Do you know that I am in the same group as you now?"
The bell stuck out his tongue, lowered his head, and used his toes to tick a weed on the ground.
"I lied to Xiahou Mao because we were enemies. We had no loyalty to the enemy and could do everything we could. I have never done such a thing to our own people." Wei Ba paused for a moment and slowed down his tone. "What's more, I didn't kill him. I'm still creating opportunities for him to return to Luoyang as decently. I have a clear conscience when Yu Zhong and Yi."
"I was wrong when joining the army." Lingling raised her hand and patted her cheek gently: "I can't speak. Don't blame me for joining the army, I'll apologize to you."
Wei Ba smiled silently: "You can do it, you pretend to behave and you can't even lie. You are so light that you can't even beat mosquitoes to death, right?"
Lingling laughed and came over with excitement: "Do you even know this? No wonder the girl said that you have seven orifices in your heart, even more energetic than a fox."
Wei Ba raised his eyebrows: "What else do your girl say to me?"
"She..." Lingdang suddenly covered her face and laughed: "I won't tell you. When she mentioned you, she was always distracted, or she said something in a mess, and I couldn't figure out what she wanted to say."
