"Governor Lü, don't open the river, the Jingzhou army is full of beacons along the upstream river, once our army leads the people up the river, it will be discovered."

"According to Wen, it is still the strategy of Marquis Wu, first let General Lu rebel against Shiren of Gong'an City, and then lead the crowd to directly raid Jiangling."

"In this way, it is more guaranteed!"

After listening to Lu Meng's words, he thought slowly for a moment, and Zhang Wen couldn't help but persuade him.

Hearing this, Lu Meng glanced back at him, and then arched his hand and said loudly: "Lord, please believe Meng, this time Meng will definitely seize Jingzhou in one fell swoop and annihilate Guan Yu's department." ”

At this moment, his face was resolute and he resolutely asked to fight.

Seeing this, Sun Quan was slightly moved, and said slowly: "Ziming, what strategy do you have to make tens of thousands of troops go up the river without being discovered?" ”

When the words fell, Lu Meng's face was indifferent, and he said with a smile: "Lord, Meng plans to select more than a thousand elite sergeants from the army, all dressed in white, remotely controlling merchant ships, and serving as merchants. ”

"Then, Meng Zeqin led his troops to pretend to be merchants, went up the river, destroyed the beacon strongholds one by one, and eliminated the eyes and ears of the Jingzhou army, and the main force of our army followed closely to the north and entered Jiangling."

"In this way, the Jingzhou army that has lost the beacon tower to warn will inevitably be blinded in the dark and be vulnerable!"

"My lord, give an order quickly, the situation has changed now, and I think it is not appropriate to drag it out."

At this moment, Lu Meng once again showed an anxious look on his face and pleaded in a deep voice.

When the words fell, Sun Quan was stunned, stunned for a moment, and said after a while: "Pretending to be a merchant ship and going west?" ”

"Ziming, will this work?"

"Lord Qi, this strategy is at least eighty percent sure and can make contributions."

A word, Lu Meng said it first, in order to calm the hearts of everyone!

Immediately, looking at Sun Quan and the doubtful expressions of the others, he couldn't help but explain slowly: "My lord, generals, I know that you are still worried. ”

"However, there is no such thing as a certain success in marching and fighting, and now, due to Meng's deception and illness, I returned to Jingkou to recuperate, and Lu Xun took over my position and garrisoned Lukou."

"This move, with Lu Xun's reputation now, is not enough for Guan Yu to pay attention to, plus in the past few days, Lu Boyan has complimented Guan Yunchang with one letter every three days and one letter every five days."

"Meng is convinced, with Guan Yu's arrogant temperament, he must have thought in his heart that Lu Xun is just a weak scholar, so there is nothing to worry about!"

"Guan Yu despises our army, which is the first reason why the white-clothed merchant ships can succeed."

After a pause, he watched as everyone gathered their eyes around him, and while listening carefully, Lu Meng continued: "Second, although our army has now signed an alliance with Cao Cao, we will advance and retreat together. ”

"But this is just going on secretly, Guan Yu doesn't know, that is to say, nominally, our army and the Jingzhou army are still allies who depend on each other."

"In this way, the merchant ships going up the river from our Jiangdong territory will definitely not pay too much attention to the beacon towers along the river, and this time Meng's plan is to take advantage of this psychology of underestimating the enemy and take the opportunity to pull out these nails one by one."

After the words fell, Lu Meng analyzed his own strategy of "crossing the river in white clothes" with reasonable evidence, and most of the people in the palace were convinced.

"Lord, I don't know if you still have doubts?"

As soon as the words fell, Lu Meng looked directly at Sun Quan and asked loudly.

Hearing this, Sun Quan did not respond immediately, but looked at Zhang Zhao at the bottom of the stairs first, and asked, "Zibu, Ziming's strategy, what do you think?" ”

After hearing this, Zhang Zhao's mind also thought about it for a moment, and after half a ring, he slowly said: "Lord, the strategy of Governor Lu is a clever plan, it is indeed feasible!" ”

"It's just that, so far, the sneak attack has to be slowed down for the time being, and you can't lead the crowd now."

Muttering and thinking, Zhang Zhao was not in a hurry or panic, and said slowly.

When the words fell, Lu Meng's face turned anxious, and he immediately said in a loud voice: "Military advisor, tell me, why is our army still waiting?" ”

"It must be known that now Guan Ping has led the people to the Jiangxia area, and there is a possibility of breaking through the encirclement at any time, once his army returns to Jiangling first, the defense will be arranged."

"Then our army will lose the opportunity at that time, and we will have to storm Jingzhou, so the chances of victory are not good!"

"I also hope that the military division, the lord, and the generals will think about the consequences."

As soon as he spoke, Lu Meng also directly expressed his opinion.

"Huh!"

Hearing this, Zhang Zhao laughed a few times, and then said slowly: "Governor Lu, since you also know that the Jingzhou Army is still a nominal ally of our army for the time being. ”

"Then you should also know what will happen if our army leads the crowd to attack Jingzhou at this time?"

"If our army forcibly betrays the alliance for no reason, even if it captures the land of Jingxiang at that time, it will have an unstable foothold and will not be able to subdue the hearts of the people of Jingzhou at all."

"Once this is really the case, even if our army is all based on Jingxiang, but the people in the territory are unstable, so what is the use of our army seizing Jingzhou?"

After a while, Zhang Zhao looked calm and analyzed lightly.

When the words fell, on the main seat, Sun Quan thought for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "What Zibu said is true, our army really can't blindly send troops, we must have a reason to send troops, at least we need to be famous, so that we can be invincible!" ”

"Not only that, when Ben Hou signed an alliance with the envoy of the Cao army, he also agreed that both of our two armies would attack at the same time, and when Cao Cao, the king of Wei, led the main force to attack Guan Yu, our army was leading the people westward to seize Jingzhou in one fell swoop, and attacked from both sides to destroy Guan Yu."

"Therefore, Ben Hou decided, I order, Lu Meng, that you will go to Xunyang to replace Cheng Shi, and then secretly prepare merchant ships and merchant clothes."

"Benhou's order is issued, and you will lead the people westward and pull out the beacon towers along the river."

"No, the last general will obey!"

Hearing the order, Lu Meng did not hesitate and promised to do so.

Although he didn't agree with this approach, he could sense that Sun Quan had already made a decision with a resolute expression, and Lu Meng was not stubborn, so he was ordered to retreat!

Just after Lu Meng withdrew for a moment, a heavy sound of footsteps outside the mansion sounded instantly, and the footsteps were even more impatient.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the guards outside the mansion rushed into the mansion first, faced Sun Quan, knelt on the ground and saluted, and said: "Qiqi Wu Hou, just Xunyang scouts are coming, and there is an urgent military situation." ”

"Military situation, what is the situation in Xunyang, report it quickly?"

Hearing this, the guards didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly reported the military situation reported by the scouts just now.

"Marquis Wu, General Cheng sent someone to report that due to the serious conflict between the people who suffered from the victims in Jukou Zhou and the people of Jiangxia County, the two sides are already on the same page."

"Therefore, General Zhou Shao, who raised the mouth of the garrison, was extremely angry, so he led the troops to cross the river to Jiangxia, and now the Cao army and our army have confronted each other on the river."

"Cheng Tinghou said that he had already led Xunyang and Chaisang first, and Wuchang's soldiers rushed to Jukou to stabilize the situation, and hoped that Wu Hou could come up with a solution as soon as possible to quell the conflict, which would inevitably cause fighting and destroy the plan."

As the words fell, the guard bowed his head and remained silent.

"You stand down first!"

Immediately, Sun Quan's blue eyes condensed slightly, looked at the guards, and said.

The order was given, and the guard immediately surrendered.

Immediately, Sun Quan looked at the people under the stairs, smiled indifferently, and said, "Everyone, you have already heard this matter with your own ears, I don't know what you think?" ”

It's just that the words fell, and before the rest of the people could speak, Zhou Tai, who was burly and sturdy, stood up in an instant, and pleaded guilty: "Lord, Zhou Tai pleads guilty, and I hope to punish him!" ”
