Sun Ce and Zhou Yubing divided into two routes, one to Jinling City and the other to Nanchang City.

According to Chen Deng's analysis, Sun Ce would either go all out to take Nanchang, or he would go all out to attack Jinling City, but Sun Ce actually divided his troops into two ways, which was beyond Chen Deng's expectations.

Only the potters really estimated that Sun Ce might do this.

It seems that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are very confident in their own strength, and they dare to divide their troops against themselves.

Sure enough, it is a master of art who is bold.

As soon as Sun Ce crossed the river, he was immediately detected by the spies of Jinling City.

At this time, Lu Su himself had already arrived in Jinling City, and at the same time, he was accompanied by several southern generals sent to him by the pottery merchants.

Among these fierce generals, Xu Sheng is the leader.

……

"How many soldiers and horses does Sun Ce have?" Lu Su asked the scout calmly.

The scout said quietly: "At least no less than thirty thousand." ”

"No less than 30,000." Lu Su carefully calculated: "In Jinling City, there should only be 20,000 horses, right?" ”

Han Hao said on the side: "What I said is that in order to fight against Cao Cao and the Sanliu coalition army, the prime minister requisitioned most of the soldiers and horses, and the 20,000 people in Jinling City are still new soldiers, compared with Sun Ce's soldiers and horses, I am afraid that there is still a little gap." ”

Lu Su stroked his beard and closed his eyes and pondered carefully.

When he was young, he suddenly saw Lu Su open his eyes and said: "Quickly send someone to find out the configuration of Sun Ce's army, including the deputy general, who are the people who joined the army, and who are the partial generals and captains. ”

"No."

The scout took the order, but saw Xu Sheng turn his head and ask him, "Mr. Zijing wants to inquire about Sun Ce's military deployment, could it be that he already has some plan?" ”

Lu Su nodded and said: "Yes, the overall strength of our army is not as good as Sun Ce's army, and most of them are new troops, if you don't use stratagems, I'm just afraid that it will be difficult to get it, I asked people to explore Sun Ce's situation, just to know whether Zhou Yu and other wise men have come." ”

Xu Sheng said with an understanding: "According to Zi Jinggong's statement, if Zhou Yu didn't come, you might still have a good way to break Sun Ce?" ”

Lu Su stood up, walked back and forth in the hall to think, and only after a while did he speak: "Since the prime minister asked me to come to Jinling City, then I naturally can't let the prime minister down...... Fraudulent surrender is probably the best course of action. ”

"Surrender?" Xu Sheng was shocked when he heard this: "Who is going?" ”

"Me." Lu Su said lightly.

Everyone is not calm at this time.

Han Hao was the first to object: "Zi Jinggong, you are also a close minister under the Prime Minister's seat, it is too risky to act like this, right?" Besides, if you go, how can Sun Ce believe it? ”

Lu Su smiled and said, "Because I am a close minister under the command of the prime minister, this matter has to be done by me." ”

"Huh?" Han Hao was a little unsure of what he meant.

Lu Su explained: "Although the prime minister values me, but in the past two or three years, I have not made much meritorious service, and among the many talents under the prime minister's command, my reputation is far from obvious, if I take advantage of this, I may deceive Sun Ce......

Speaking of this, Lu Su paused and said, "But I still need Han Gong to help me a lot." ”

Han Hao shook his head and said: "No, this matter is really too risky, I don't agree, although Sun Ce has 30,000 elite soldiers, but there are only 10,000 more than us, although the 20,000 recruits in our Jinling City are not helpful, but the city wall of our Jinling City is the most in the world!" Han Mou since he hit Jinling City, he and Zhang Zhao, Chen Qun, Zhang Hong and others worked hard to manage this piece of foundation, in the past ten years, Jinling City is not only rich in the world, but also the strength of the city wall is not inferior to Luoyang Chang'an, even if we are defending head-on, we are not afraid of his grandson! ”

Lu Su smiled bitterly and said, "Gong Han, it is precisely because Jinling City is the foundation and lifeblood of the prime minister that we can't let Sun Ce wreak havoc here. ”

Han Hao was stunned when he heard this.

But he saw Lu Su said: "Outside the city wall, is the prime minister and Han Gong have been operating for many years of 10,000 acres of fertile land, is the painting boat of Jinling City, the attached county, the people, the essence of the business district, if Sun Ce attacks the city, his heart is resentful and raging in the surrounding area, how much loss will be caused to the fertile land and commerce near Jinling, Han Gong wants to know better than me."

Han Hao was silent when he heard this.

But seeing Lu Su smiled and stretched out his hand to pat him on the shoulder, he said: "Sun Ce is far away, in order to win people's hearts, he will not wreak havoc next to Jinling City for the time being, but it may not be necessary after a long time, Han Gong should not be a little woman, let's make a plan, don't let the prime minister down, don't worry, I will be fine." ”

Han Hao didn't have much to do with Lu Su before, and now the potters sent him to Jinling to participate in military affairs, Han Hao was still a little unconvinced, but after a deep discussion with Lu Su, Han Hao understood why the potters used this person so much.

It's not just that Lu Su single-handedly established the Shanman camp for the potter, but he is indeed a great talent worth reusing!

This kind of mind is not a general, but also a talent.

……

A few days later, Sun Ce's soldiers and horses arrived at Jinling City.

Looking at the tall and majestic Jinling City, showing the majestic city, Sun Ce's eyes couldn't help but shine!

Looking at the world, in addition to Luoyang City back then, which city wall can compare with the city wall of Jinling City in this world?

Potter, potter, what virtue do you have, how can you have such a city as capital?

Why does God want to be so kind to you? It's infuriating.

Sun Ce did not slack off at all, and immediately commanded the officers and men of the three armies to launch a strong attack on Jinling City.

As expected, Han Hao had already ordered the soldiers and horses on the city wall to defend.

Although Han Hao's generals are all new recruits, the number is not as good as Sun Ce's, and he has little combat experience, but in addition to the city wall, he has another advantage!

That's what people want.

Over the years, the rich Jinling City has become a paradise for people all over the world, and the big clans and people in the south, as long as they are able, have migrated here, where they can escape the suffering of war and enjoy the prosperity and fun of the world.

Sun Ce's arrival was naturally not welcomed by them.

For them, this is a murderer who destroys their happy life, and it must not be tolerated!

There was almost no need to even say hello, all the big clans in the city sent all the domestic servants and provided goods and food to support the soldiers and generals on the front line.

Even the tools for defending the city did not need to be carried by the soldiers under Han Hao's command.

In this case, the pressure of the garrison of Jinling City can be imagined how easy it will be.

There was hardly any suspense, and Sun Ce's first siege plan was a complete failure.

Looking at the city, Sun Ce's soldiers and horses retreated like a tide, and Lu Su sighed with relief.

If you can't even hold on to this first formation, then the following plan will not be able to continue to be implemented.
