Chapter Sixty-Seven: The Formation Is Not One
Another day, Lu Xun still led more than ten horsemen to inspect the terrain and road conditions.
But on this day, before he left the camp, he saw a large area of reeds, grass, and bushes in the east covered with fireworks.
All obstacles that could block the view of the two armies were burned, and the wildfires grew bigger and bigger, and thick smoke billowed everywhere.
The Wu army was on alert on the whole line, Sun Quan stood at the head of Maicheng City and looked at the vast flat land in the east, the military and Mintun strongholds in the line of sight had long been abandoned, and the battle flag of the Wu army was fluttering at this moment. The original tun people either withdrew to Linfu, or retreated to Dangyang to avoid the battle, or assisted the Wu army in building fortifications.
Zhuge Jin said: "Supreme, Guan Yu lacks food, and he has always been strong. I'm afraid that we won't wait for reinforcements to hold each other, and we will bring troops to fight. ”
Sun Quan was silent, and turned back to the humble city tower, where a map hung on the wall.
He raised his hand and tapped in Zigui: "I regret not listening to Lu Bo's words." ”
Zhuge Jin, Luo Tong, and Sun Huan stood beside Sun Quan and watched the map together, according to Lu Xun's previous proposal, they should avoid colliding with Guan Yu's main force.
Divide the western road to attack Zigui, and then take the old road of Mengda to attack Fangling, send elites over the mountains and mountains to conquer Fangling County, and harass Nanxiang County.
This partial army appeared in the upper reaches of the Han River, echoing the Eastern Route Army and Jiang Qin's Water Division in Hanjin, and would trap the Jingzhou Water Division.
When the Western Road was attacked, Sun Quan led the main force to blockade the Yangtze River to prevent the Jingzhou army on the north bank from rescuing Jingnan, and also blocked the supplies transported from Jingnan to the north bank.
According to Lu Xun's strategy, the hardest and most dangerous battles were fought by the Western Route Army led by Lu Xun.
But the problem is that from Sun Quan to other generals, I don't think Lu Xun can achieve the expected plan alone.
Lu Xun only began to lead the army to quell the rebellion after the Battle of Xiaoyaojin, and most of his achievements came from the rebels who did not enter the stream, and the results of the incorporation of Shanyue were the most dazzling.
The real record with the Cao army and the Han army is zero.
Even if Lu Xun successfully broke through Yiling City and killed Zhan Yan, the lieutenant of Yidu County...... In the eyes of many people, this has nothing to do with Lu Xun, it is entirely the credit of striker Li Yi.
Li Yi is Liu Zhang's old department, during the Battle of Chibi, Liu Zhang gave in to Cao Cao and sent troops to Jingzhou to participate in the war, but he was stationed in the Yiling area. Before they could make a move, these Yizhou troops were forced to land by Zhou Yu.
No one believes in Lu Xun's ability to command troops, and they don't think that Lu Xun can lead the Western Route Army to break through the gap and cross the mountains and mountains to break through Fangling and Nanxiang.
Lu Xun's proposal lacks room for maneuver, after all, it is too extreme, whether it is to fight Zigui, or to climb the mountains and fight Fangling, or to copy Nanxiang, almost one ring after another, and there is a problem in any link...... That's it.
No one knows whether Lu Xun was completely annihilated, Sun Quan led the main force to blockade the Yangtze River, and no matter how bad it was, he could return to Yangzhou with the main force.
Sun Jiao and Jiang Qin's partial army on the east road was really dangerous, Lu Xun's partial army went over the mountains and mountains to engage in roundabout plagiarism, and Sun Quan's main force was across the river...... The main force of the Jingzhou army is not clamped, if it turns around and fights Hanjin, Sun Jiao, 40,000 people on land and water, can stop it?
If it can't be stopped, Guan Yu has the possibility of taking advantage of the situation to occupy Xiakou, and Sun Quan's back road will be copied.
Lu Xun's strategy could not be implemented, so it was changed to the current strategic pattern of the main force, the division and the east and west, echoing each other from afar.
However, Guan Yu took the tired soldiers who had been fighting for three months, and dared to take the initiative to fight a decisive battle!
You must know that so many Wu army strongholds around Maicheng are initially occupied, and they have not yet been repaired and reinforced!
Without the expected system of strong fortifications, how many people in the Wu army dared to fight for their lives in the field with the Han army?
Is it time to withdraw troops?
The withdrawal was simple, the excess baggage was abandoned, and the sergeants got on the ship, which was enough to withdraw to the big ship before Guan Yu's main force arrived.
But with such an easy withdrawal of troops, where will you put your face?
The person who lost face is still in a high position, and his head is difficult to protect.
Sun Quan himself was reluctant to propose the withdrawal of troops, so who would dare to propose the withdrawal of troops?
Sun Jian and Sun Ce have profound military prestige, and they will withdraw when they say they will withdraw, and the whole army will also be convinced, and it is a big deal to find an opportunity to fight again in the future.
Zhuge Jin's cronies didn't dare to propose the withdrawal of the army, and Lu Xun would stand up and propose the withdrawal of the army?
Lu Xun is a taciturn person, even if he is cheerful by nature, after experiencing a series of disputes between the Sun family and the Lu family, Lu Xun has also learned to be silent.
Especially in the summer of this year, Yu Lin Taishou Lu Ji died of illness, and when he was dying, he made a proverb and cursed Sun Quan, 'From now on, sixty years away, the car is on the same track, the book is the same, and I can't wait to see it'.
Sending a person who is already sick to serve in the hot and humid Jiaozhou is no different from murder.
Lu Xun is six years older than his cousin Lu Ji, and Lu Xun almost pulled Lu Ji to grow up.
No one proposed to withdraw the troops, that could only be engaged.
There was no time to reinforce the strongholds, and the Wu army could only prepare for war with all its might.
Dangyang, the military camp of Guan Yu outside the city.
Guan Yu was holding a silk book and hesitated, this was the Mi Fang confession sent by Wang Fu.
Dealing with Mi Fang is a tricky problem, Guan Yu put down the silk book, a little tired: "Tell Jiangling, don't slack off the Mi family." Even if Mi Zifang commits a capital crime, he must not be humiliated. After the war, send Mizi Fang into Yizhou. ”
Liao Hua wrote an official document and asked: "Prince, do you want to reply to the matter of Huang Gongheng's defense of Jiangling?" ”
Jiangling was almost sold by Mi Fang, and the three counties of Jingnan either surrendered or fled, which made Guan Yu feel like he had just woken up from a big dream.
Since the Battle of Xiangyang and the flooding of the Seventh Army, most of the arrogance has dissipated, and the more it seems a little late: "Filial piety has the wisdom to know people, and I agree with it." I also invited Pan Chengming to Dangyang to protect the army for me. ”
Liao Hua was stunned for a moment, and picked up the pen to write on other bamboo slips.
Guan Yu's previous Dangkou Army, as well as the current former army composed of the Dangkou Army and the Longxiang Army, did not have a protective army, and it was Liaohua who actually did the work of protecting the army.
After doing this, Guan Yu walked out of the camp tent to bask in the noon sun, nearly a hundred miles away, he could also see the smoke and dust that were everywhere in the direction of Southwest Maicheng.
This was naturally Tian Shin's idea, and he sent the scattered cavalry to burn all obstacles that might obscure his vision.
Then the army pressed up and fought with Wu Jun in a dignified manner.
Tian Xin dared to fight like this, Guan Ping also dared to fight like this, why didn't Guan Yu dare?
He looked at the smoke and dust in the sky and asked, "Xiaoxian still hasn't had a master book?" ”
"Yes, there are only Luo Qiong, the protector, and Sima Xihong in the Huya Army. The rest of the main books and gongcao were not collected, and the lower officials were not dispatched. ”
Liao Hua added: "When filial piety pays homage to the general, Huang Gongheng has already made a suggestion. Xiaoxian may have noticed that there were Wu military spies in Jiangling City, and did not dare to recruit the military officials in the city as close staff. ”
After hearing this, Guan Yu gave up and instructed: "The Huya Army is subordinate to the Left Army, and Ma Mengqi has not arrived, and Huang Gongheng will take care of the Huya Army." ”
Liao Hua's face showed a look of relief, as Tian Xin guarded Jiangling and broke Lu Meng's tiger army, half of the reason for Lu Meng's defeat and death was on Tian Xin's head.
Now there are too many people who want to serve in the Huya Army, especially the position of the chief bookkeeper of the Huya Army, which is particularly eye-catching.
No one harassed Guan Yu, and this kind of human pressure fell on Liao Hua's shoulders.
Liao Hua is Guan Yu's main book, and he is already in charge of this kind of work, which can be said to be annoying.
After Pan Jun served as the former protector, this kind of offending people had nothing to do with Liao Hua.
Now all parts of the military camp are packing up, and if there is no big weather change tomorrow, Guan Yu will lead 5,000 Dangkou troops in his headquarters and 3,000 people in Nanyang Taishou Guo Mu to march to Maicheng.
Guan Ping and Tian Xin will also lead 4,000 each as the vanguard, and the other 2,000 troops in the forbidden hands can also participate in the war.
During the preparation for the war, Tian Messenger took a small boat to Wujun Jiangzhu Water Village, holding an apricot yellow flag and opening a bow and archery book, intending to invite Sun Ben to meet.
