Chapter 282 Is it really the other way around?
Ding Fei is indeed quite unlucky.
Under Chang Diao's threat, he tried to explain the situation to Cao Pi many times, but Zhao Da was dead. He was unable to find any confidant in a hurry. He contacted the rear many times and was intercepted by Lu Hong, who was like a shadow. In desperation, he could only move west slowly.
Halfway through, he heard that Han Sui had already been in Longxi, and Xiahou Ba also advanced rapidly and rushed to Xiangwu, the source of the Wei River. It seemed that he was going to fight Han Sui there to prevent Han Sui from advancing east along the Wei River.
Liangzhou Governor Wei Kang sent his subordinate chief Yang Fu to visit Ding Fei, saying that Han Sui was powerful and that many Qiang and Hu leaders supported him, which was difficult to deal with. He asked Ding Fei to quickly support him to prevent the enemy from attacking Ji County along the Wei River after Xiangwu was captured.
Ding Fei hesitated for a while, and the boss was unhappy - of course he was unwilling to come to Xiahou Ba's side. If the subordinates of Yunshan took advantage of the fierce battle with Han Sui and cut his head and then blamed Han Sui, he would really die with peace of mind.
This possibility is really great - when he sent troops, Yang Qiu and Yan Xing also pulled the camp at the same time, and the two were eyeing each other with malicious looks. These two people only surrendered to Yunshan completely. When the war started, these people suddenly attacked Ding Fei, which would definitely be a big blow.
He thought for a long time, but decided to give it a break. He turned to Cheng Ji, who was in the north of Ji County under the pretext of defending against Ma Chao, and observed the situation carefully.
If Xiahou Ba and others win, he will immediately lead his army to approach Yuzhong and directly encircle Han Sui and Ma Chao's hometown.
If Xiahou Ba and others could not stop him, he would go back to Ji County and guard Ji County with Wei Kang. Finally, he could advance and retreat properly and get a war.
He only has more than 10,000 people in his hands, and he must be careful to make money to win the best interests of himself.
He introduced his tactics to Wei Kang with a serious face, but before Wei Kang could object, Chang Diao had sent someone to send a letter - Chang Diao clearly asked Ding Fei to meet with the generals as soon as possible and not to march alone, so as not to fall into the ambush of the enemy.
Although Wei Kang, a great calligrapher who came from a wealthy family, did not understand the small conflict between Chang Diao and Ding Fei, he knew that Ma Chao and Han Sui had turned against each other now. Although they sent troops one after another this time, they were fighting each other, concentrating their troops to defeat the other, and naturally they would not pose any threat. They would not support each other when they were attacked, but they just looked a little scary.
He explained his thoughts to Ding Fei carefully and said with great sincerity:
"General Chang said very well, it's better for General Ding to meet with General Xiahou first, I..."
"What are you talking about?" Ding Fei was in a very bad mood and immediately retorted, "The envoy also said that Ma Chao and Han Sui are not only going all the way now. Now Han Sui is fighting fiercely with our army in Longxi. If our army goes again, what should we do if the thieves come from the north to attack Ji County?
Ji County is the foundation of our army. Once Ji County is lost, how can we fight this battle?"
Wei Kang said with a wry smile:
"Ji County is strong and has sufficient military and armor. If they attack Longxi and then attack Ji County, I am still afraid of him. If they attack directly from the north, they will have poor food and grass. Why am I afraid of him?"
Ding Fei was dissatisfied and thought to himself that if I listened to Chang Diao's instructions, I would not win even if I won. Now he dares to order me in Wei Kang. If I really join forces with Xiahou Ba, wouldn't I seek death?
He snorted coldly and said calmly:
"I will be in charge of the military affairs of Yongzhou with Military Commander Chang. Now that I am on the expedition, I will naturally be able to make a decision on my own.
I expected Ma Chao to attack Ji County from Cheng Ji, so I will lead an army to garrison. I will ask you to raise more items for the baggage, food and grass."
Wei Kang had no choice but to nod his head slowly:
"Okay, then... then please take care of it, General."
The person who sent the letter to Wei Kang was not someone else, but Chang Diao's number one confidant, Lu Hong, who had previously forced Zhao Da to death.
This time, Lu Hong was ordered by Chang Diao to find an opportunity to kill Ding Fei.
Although he felt that it was a bit inappropriate to do such a thing during the war, what kind of person is Chang Junshi, whether in terms of knowledge or ability, he just needs to obey orders and make careful arrangements for Chang Junshi, so that he can gain the trust of Chang Junshi in the future.
The plan that Lu Hong had formulated before was to wait for Ding Fei to meet up with Xiahou Ba, and to encourage Yang Qiu to take advantage of the war, and let him die in the chaos.
Unexpectedly, Ding Fei completely ignored Chang Diao's orders and actually ran to Cheng Ji in the north.
Lu Hongsi thought about it and thought that his plan should not be revealed. It was only because Ding Fei was afraid and guilty that he wanted to leave. He was very dissatisfied and quickly found Wei Kang overnight and asked Wei Kang to ask Ding Fei not to leave Ji County as the governor of Liangzhou. He had to go forward in detail and meet Xiahou Ba in detail.
Wei Kang said with a wry smile:
"How can I, the governor of Liangzhou, be the leader of the General of the Central Army of the Qiang? General Ding is the confidant of the King of Wei and was ordered to take charge of the military affairs of Yongzhou with Military Commander Chang. It is unreasonable for me, a Confucian scholar, to randomly arrange his wars."
Lu Hong scratched his head and thought to himself that what he said was right, so he could only leave quickly and send someone to take a boat to Chang'an to report the matter to Chang Diao.
Chang Diao, who was in Chang'an, enjoyed the peace of time. He was waiting for the battle to start and Ding Fei was killed. Then he quickly submitted a complaint to Cao Pi, and he had accumulated a lot of wealth. At that time, he would be fine if he went to Luoyang to adjust his prefect.
But unexpectedly, Lu Hong disappointed him and failed to intercept Ding Fei. Ding Fei even ran to Cheng Ji and left the large army.
There are so many people around him, and assassination is already very difficult. Could it be that he has to run away?
As a senior master who works but does not work hard, Chang Diao put his heart in mind. He believed that Lu Hong's assassination plan was not exposed. It was just that Ding Fei was guilty of being a thief, so he chose to hide for a while and watch the changes.
In desperation, Chang Diao could only write a letter to Cao Pi, complaining that Ding Fei underestimated the enemy and was caught in a heavy siege. However, after writing the letter, Chang Diao was still unwilling to give up. While asking Lu Hong to prepare in Ji County, he wrote to Wei Kang again, asking him to cooperate with him to take Ding Fei.
Well, the reason for sculpting is also very good.
When Wei Kang saw Chang Diao saying in the letter that Ding Fei was about to collude with Ma Chao and almost couldn't help laughing out loud, and could only shake his head helplessly.
This military advisor Chang...
He should have something wrong with Ding Fei, but he wouldn't frame him like this, right? Ding Fei was born in Qiao County after all, and he wouldn't be able to rebel anyone. Chang Diao did this so much that he was a bit unreasonable.
Wei Kang's chief Yang Fu had a very bad impression of Ding Fei before. He hugged Chang Diao's letter and observed it carefully for a long time, frowned and said:
"Empress, I have heard before that Junshi Chang was a very capable military officer. He was a senior official who was entrusted by the former king. Maybe it was a bit mysterious..."
Wei Kang shook his head with a smile:
"Don't talk nonsense, why are you entrusting your orphans? If the King of Wei hears this, he will definitely blame him.
I didn't know before, but I heard from my family these days that although Mr. Chang is very good at hand and has extraordinary skills, I am worried about this...
He found many cattle and horses from somewhere before, and the cattle and horses were also taken aback by General Ding. The two of them have become enemies and have been attacking each other. I think Ding Fei was hiding in Cheng Ji before and was worried about being plotted against by the military commander Chang. This is human nature and nothing is true.”
"Uh, if what Junsen Chang said is true..."
"Haha, what can I do if what I said is true? I have told Ding Fei before that if Ma Chao and Han Sui join forces to fight from Longxi, I am still afraid that he will make three points, but what are he afraid of when he hits from the north?
The city of Ji County is strong, and the soldiers, armor and food are all in place. Ma Chao will definitely not be able to get enough food and food when he attacks. At that time, General Xiahou will return to the army and attack them, and he will definitely be killed. There is no need to say anything more."
"This..." Yang Fu saw that Wei Kang did not listen to the advice, so he could only nodded. He thought that although Chang Diao was greedy, he was an important official in the end. General Zhenxi could not make up such a reason simply to disgust Ding Fei. I still have to be careful and be careful.

A few more days passed like this.
During the days when Yunshan went to fight against Huo Jun, Xiahou Ba, Chen Qun, Kuai Yue, Shen Dan, and Wenpin had been confronting Cheng Gongying, the former army commander of Han Sui in Xiangwu. Cheng Gongying was not in a hurry to attack. The Yunshan army had a rear Ji County continuously provided military rations, and was not in a hurry.
Half a month passed, and both sides of the battle fell to a standstill. Everyone expected the battle to be fought for a while.
On this day, Wei Kang received another letter from Chang Diao - Chang Diao Zai Shuxiong was eager to accuse Wei Kang of not obeying his orders, and why he allowed Ding Fei to Chengji, which was clearly delaying major events! If there was any mistake in the battle, Wei Kang would bear all the responsibility.
Wei Kang shook his head and sneered, thinking that Chang Diao was really a mess and even threatened himself.
The battle has been stalemate for so long, and there has been no movement from Ma Chao around. Even if Ding Fei colludes with Ma Chao, can they still fly over?
He was considering the words and was about to write a letter to Chang Diao to calm him down, but now his subordinates reported that Ding Fei had led his army back.
"Here you back?" Wei Kang was a little surprised, "Why are you back? Ma Chao called?"
"This, this is not." Liangzhou Bian Yan Wen smiled bitterly, "Ding Fei is preparing to rest for a day or two, and then quickly move eastward to meet with General Xiahou."
Wei Kang:...
In the past half a month, Ji Feng was calm, and Ding Fei probably didn't get any battle. After blew the cool breeze for half a month, he couldn't help it anymore. He was afraid that Cao Pi would blame him, so he quickly turned around and prepared to reinforce Xiahou Yuan.
These two people...
Isn’t it good to work hard to cooperate well? It’s really hateful to argue over a small matter.
He spent food in vain and let Ding Fei stay in the north for half a month. Wei Kang really thanked him, but Ding Fei's identity was here, so Wei Kang couldn't be angry with him.
In desperation, he had to take people outside the city to greet Ding Fei.
·
Ding Fei's army had already set up camp outside the city. The army camp was as calm as usual, without a trace of solemnity, and all the soldiers were equipped with armor. It was obvious that they had good food and drink in Chengji in the past half month.
Wei Kang was quite angry. Seeing that Ding Fei did not come out to greet him, he just sent a few warriors, he felt even more unhappy.
He patiently stepped forward and rushed towards the Bushido who greeted him:
"Where is General Ding?"
"I'm still waiting for the envoy in the central army tent." The warrior said with a smile.
Yan Wen, who accompanied Wei Kang, snorted without any concealment, and suddenly felt that the warrior beside him seemed familiar:
"Zhuxia Gao's name? Have you seen Zhuxia from where?"
"It's not surprising that Mr. Yan has seen me."
