Chapter 120: Attack on Hanjin (Fourth Update)
As Lu Xun asked, Lu Meng, who was on the throne, also showed doubts, although he did not speak, he also stared at Shiren with doubtful eyes.
Seeing this, Shiren Chang exhaled a breath of turbidity and arched his hand: "Governor of the Grand Du, General Lu, after Guan Ping led the crowd out of the Public Security City again, the last general secretly sent scouts to closely monitor it. β
"When they were halfway up the river heading to Jiangling, the Jingzhou army suddenly adjusted its direction and headed to the northeast."
"After thinking about it carefully, the last general realized that Guan Ping was leading the army into Hanjin Port."
"Hanjin Port?"
Hearing this, Lu Meng muttered, then waved his hand to interrupt Shiren's explanation, and suddenly looked down at the map laid out on the desk in front of him.
After staring at it for a while, he pondered again, and said secretly: "Hanjin is only more than 100 miles away from Xiakou, and now that Guan Ping has entered the port in advance, is he worried that our army will raid?" β
After thinking about it carefully, Lu Meng shook his head, then looked at Shiren and said with a smile: "General Shi, you go back to rest first." β
"I'll not bother you later."
When the words fell, Shiren also understood that this was a military discussion between the generals of the Wu army, but now that he was a general, it was pure common sense that he had no right to speak, so he also promised to retreat.
Seeing Shiren leaving, Lu Xun's face was worried, and he was suddenly shocked, and said loudly: "The governor ......"
It was only said that at this moment, Lu Meng, who was on the main throne, was a mouthful of dirty blood "poofing" out, spitting to the ground, and coughing violently again and again, with a trace of sweat on his face, and his face was as pale as paper.
After a long while, the cough stopped slightly, Lu Meng rested a little, wiped the sweat beads on his face, and then waved his hand: "Uncle... Bo Yan, don't make a noise about this matter for the time being, because I am worried that it will disturb the morale of the army and greatly damage the morale of the soldiers. β
"Don't tell the lord, now is the critical time to take Jingzhou, I am worried that after the lord learns of my condition, he will order me to return to Wuzhong to recuperate, but let Jingzhou fall short!"
"Our army has been waiting for this opportunity for more than ten years, and we must not give up easily, and this time we will definitely take control of the Yangtze River and the south of the Yangtze River."
At this moment, Lu Meng didn't care about his condition at all, his words were firm, and he spoke loudly.
Hearing this, Lu Xun, who was at the bottom, suddenly fell silent, slowly looked at Lu Meng's resolute expression, thinking that he was commanding the battle in the process of enduring the torture of illness, and he couldn't help but admire it in his heart.
"Lord, lord, the loyalty of the governor is visible every day, once Jingzhou is taken this time, you must call a famous doctor and make every effort to treat his condition!"
At this time, Lu Xun couldn't help but think secretly.
In the middle of the ring, Lu Meng forcibly supported the guards and ordered loudly: "You wait to go to the generals as soon as possible, and quickly come to the mansion to discuss the military affairs, and there is something important to announce." β
"No."
When the order was given, the two guards gave up their promise and went to give the order.
At this time, Lu Xun came back to his senses and muttered, "Dudu, are you planning to lead an army to raid Hanjin Port?" β
"Yes."
Hearing this, Lu Meng affirmed, and then said: "I also just heard Shiren's proclamation, and I came up with this strategy by chance, seizing Hanjin Port first, which may be more conducive to our army to pull out Jiangling City. β
"Bo Yan, think about it, Jiangling is a fortified city, and now Guan Ping has returned first, although he has not returned to defense, but Meng Xiang, I'm afraid that the city has already known the news of our army's attack now, right?"
"Meng thought that the plan we had formulated in advance to take advantage of the unpreparedness to attack Jingzhou should now be invalid, and the strong attack on Jiangling is inevitable."
"It's just that more than ten years ago, Meng was a general under the governor of Zhou, followed him to fight Cao Ren, and when he besieged Nanjun, he knew that Jiangling City was strong and it was extremely difficult to attack."
After a pause, Lu Meng laughed at himself, and then said: "In terms of the combat ability of the army, Meng is far inferior to the governor of Zhou, and even he spent a year in the case of Cao Ren being isolated and cut off from inside and outside, and it took him a year to fight his own hard-hit boundary to take Nanjun and possess Jingzhou. β
"Now, our army is facing a stronger Jingzhou army, and if we want to attack, I am afraid it will be more difficult."
"Therefore, Meng Xiang's plan to go up the river and conquer Jiangling is actually to secretly send troops to gallop and take the opportunity to take the empty Hanjin Port."
Hearing this, Lu Xun couldn't help but show doubts on his face, and arched his hand: "But, Governor, Shiren told me before, didn't you say that Guan Ping led the crowd to enter Hanjin Port first?" β
"Now, our army should take advantage of the fact that Guan Yu has not received the news to return to defense, take the opportunity to cross the river to the north of the river, and seize the empty Jiangling, which is the right way."
When the words fell, Lu Meng had a strange look in his eyes, staring at Lu Xun tightly, half a sound, Lu Xun was suspicious, and muttered: "Dudu, you ......"
"Hahaha."
Immediately, he retracted his gaze and said, "Bo Yan, you are really smart, and you are confused for a while!" β
"Guan Ping, although this kid is still young, he is resourceful and decisive, first broke Xiangyang in ten days, and then led the crowd to attack Xu alone, and also retreated."
"Subsequently, it caused mutual hostility between our army and Cao's army in terms of raising mouths, and took the opportunity to cross the border between the two armies and return to Jingzhou."
"Not only that, but also the total annihilation of General Jiang Qin's headquarters in the waters of the Sanjiang Estuary, this kind of wisdom must not be taken lightly!"
"Bo Yan, if you are facing Shangguan in the future, you must be extremely cautious, don't fall into his calculations, looking at the number of his big victories, without exception, it is not to seize the weakness of the enemy against him, and then take the opportunity to break it."
After a pause, Lu Meng chuckled: "So, now if I really believe that he is stationed in Hanjin Port, it is really a plan." β
When the words fell, Lu Xun pondered for a while, and suddenly realized, and muttered: "Dudu, you mean that Guan Ping pretended to go in the direction of Hanjin just to confuse Shiren and confuse us. β
"Actually, he had already diverted halfway along the road, taking the opportunity to abandon the boat and go ashore and return to Gangneung by land?"
Hearing this, Lu Meng thought about it, and said, "Not necessarily, with Guan Ping's cleverness, he must also know the importance of Hanjin Port." β
"After all, in addition to being adjacent to Xiakou, Hanjin Port is also the only place for Xiangyang to go south along the waterway, and it is the only port in Nanjun."
"Think about it, once Hanjin is lost, then the Jingzhou naval army will inevitably be useless, from now on, on the Yangtze River, wouldn't it be up to our army to gallop?"
"Therefore, Meng thought that Guan Ping would not completely abandon Hanjin, and he should send a partial army to Hanjin Port to meet Guan Yu's main army."
"And our army, the most important thing at the moment is to take a step ahead of Guan Yu, rush to Hanjin Port in advance, seize the port, and cut off the connection between the main force of the Jingzhou Army and Nanjun."
"Then, the main force of our army took the opportunity to cross the river, approached the city, pulled out the strongholds around Jiangling one by one, turned it into an isolated city, and used superior forces to besiege it one by one."
"In this way, only by seizing Jingzhou can there be a glimmer of life!"
When the words fell, Lu Xun couldn't help but admire at this time, Lu Meng's plan was indeed perfect.
In implementation, as long as the port of Hanjin can be held and Guan Yu is blocked outside the port, it will be convenient for him to arbitrarily besiege Jiangling.
"The Grand Duke, if you really have a high opinion, you might as well be inferior!"
After a half-loud groan, Lu Xun smiled bitterly and said sincerely.
It's just that Lu Meng didn't take credit, his face was indifferent, and he chuckled: "Bo Yan, you don't have to be so humble. β
"The reason why I was able to respond to the situation and think of new strategies is because of my understanding of Jingzhou's mountains and rivers over the past ten years."
"As early as when the lord borrowed Jingzhou from Liu Bei, Zhou Dudu held my hand tightly before his death, and begged bitterly that he would recapture Jingzhou."
Speaking of this, Lu Meng couldn't help but suddenly loosen his face, but his eyes were moist, tears were rolling in his eyes, his thoughts seemed to have drifted away, and he said softly: "Although more than ten years have passed, I still remember the Governor's extremely unwilling look, and I still remember the Governor's extremely unwilling look, and I ended up with hatred!" β
"Nanjun, it was the governor who tried his best to take it with his own life, originally to serve as an outpost of the westward expansion of Yizhou, but I didn't expect that the lord would lend Jingzhou to Liu Bei at that time, and directly cut off the governor's dream of seizing Shuzhong in order to divide the world into two."
"Therefore, since that moment, Meng has been quietly studying the mountains and rivers of Jingzhou, in order to one day, he can recapture Jingzhou with his own hands and complete the governor's will."
"Therefore, I have been looking forward to this battle for more than ten years, this time, even if Meng is broken to pieces, he is bound to seize Jingzhou, and he will use it to comfort the spirit of the governor in the sky!"
At this moment, Lu Meng couldn't help but look serious, often reminiscing about the past.
From the side, although Lu Xun is not a party to the party, he can also feel the heavy determination in his heart at the moment.
After a while, Lu Meng suddenly raised his head and looked at Lu Xun, and said slowly: "Bo Yan, you are smart and intelligent, but what you lack now is actual combat ability. β
"As long as I train in the army for a few years in the future, my achievements will definitely be above me!"
"You will definitely be able to enter and exit in the future, and be the pillar of the lord."
"If you ...... If one day you pass away, I hope you can do your best to assist the lord and keep the foundation of Jiangdong. β
At this moment, Lu Meng's eyes were extremely solemn, staring at him tightly, his words were firm and pleading.
The two talked for a while, and suddenly the footsteps sounded hurriedly, and then, the guard entered the mansion and said, "Governor, General Lu, the generals have gone to the outside of the mansion to ask for a meeting." β
"Then, quickly summon them into the house."
"No."
The guards bowed their hands and left, and in the middle of the ring, all the generals entered the palace in unison and bowed in unison.
"The Grand Governor."
Immediately, LΓΌ Meng no longer continued to play dumb riddles, and told them the news that the plan for attacking Jiangling had been changed in advance, and then that he would attack Hanjin Port on the spot.
Subsequently, the generals were informed of the reasons for the attack on Hanjin.
After half a ring, Gan Ning laughed and said loudly: "Hahaha, this policy is feasible!" β
"As long as our army can block Guan Yu's horse on the river, then Jiangling City will be able to go down overnight."
"Governor, the last general Gan Ning, I am willing to ask for a war to attack Hanjin and intercept Guan Yu."
Suddenly, Gan Ning, who was dressed in military uniform and had a serious face, took the lead in surrendering his hands to fight.
