Chapter 228: Crisis, but also Opportunity!
In just half a month, the news of Cao Cao's marriage spread almost all over the world.
Everyone's eyes were on Jingzhou.
Whether it's overt, dark, express, or what's in the heart.
They're all on the move...
Jiangdong, Wuchang.
Sun Quan came to the front line of Wuchang overnight, and scared Lu Xun in his sleep.
Lu Xun is the representative of the four major families in Jiangdong and the Lu family.
Since the death of LΓΌ Meng not long ago, the military power of Jiangdong and Sun Quan have been handed over to him.
It's not only his glory, it's also his pressure.
The relationship between Sun Quan and the Jiangdong Shi clan is very delicate.
Therefore, Lu Xun, who represents the Jiangdong Shi clan, has the same relationship with Sun Quan.
He needs a chance to prove his quality.
Otherwise, he himself would never have felt at ease.
"Meet the Lord!"
Lu Xun clasped his fists and bowed, facing Sun Quan and said.
"Bo Yan! Do you know why I'm here? β
"The lord is here for Jingzhou!"
"I want to hear what you mean!" Sun Quan got straight to the point.
Lu Xun's spirit was shocked, what he needed was Sun Quan's words.
As early as he learned that Xu Tian was going to greet his relatives, he was so excited that he made a series of plans.
Striding forward, Lu Xun took down a map from the wall.
In front of Sun Quan, it was spread out horizontally on the table.
"Lord, please look!" Lu Xun pointed with his hand on the map.
"Xu Tian went to greet his relatives, and he had to go to Xu Capital first.
Then the way he must go is Wancheng.
This is exactly what Cao Cao wants to see, according to my calculations.
Cao Cao will definitely try his best to drag Xu Tian in Wancheng.
In this way, he will drive straight to Xiangyang.
As for Xu Tian, he will definitely not give up.
He's not that stupid, his name is a trap, and he's going to die.
Therefore, there will definitely be a conflict between them, and it must be before Cao Cao arrives in Xiangyang!
In this way, our chance has come!
Judging from the intelligence ahead, Xu Tian's deployment of our defense is focused on Xiakou!
He's putting most of his forces here, and that's our chance! β
Speaking of this, Lu Xun clenched his right hand into a fist and smashed it on the map.
"Go on!" Sun Quan's eyes were thoughtful.
"What we have to do is to bypass Xiakou and go straight to Jiangling!
The current Jiangling was taken by Xu Tian from Cao Ren.
It was a time when they were disheartened and suspicious of each other.
That's the best time for us to attack.
Once we take Jiangling, it will be equivalent to taking half of Jingzhou! β
After Lu Xun finished speaking, his eyes flashed and he looked at Sun Quan.
He repeated this plan for a long time.
Either way, it's the best choice.
"Bo Yan! You forgot about someone! Sun Quan frowned and pointed to Yizhou on the map.
"Liu Bei!"
"I've thought of this a long time ago!" Lu Xun laughed, with a look of disdain.
Judging from the news coming out of Yizhou, Liu Bei did not have the slightest intention of taking Jingzhou.
Even his right-hand man, Zhuge Liang's words, he didn't listen.
It looks like it's real!
It's a pity, he, Liu Bei, has always been used to deceit.
Such an approach is not him at all.
It's safe to say that this is his calculation!
The more he does this, the bigger his movements become.
That's what he wants us to come to a conclusion.
Once we come to such a conclusion, we are timid.
Unwilling to rush into the army, the ship that comes out capsizes first, everyone understands this truth.
That way, he can take advantage of our hesitation and make a big fuss!
Hum! What a wishful thinking! β
After listening to Lu Xun's analysis silently, Sun Quan's eyes lit up.
He looked at the other person carefully, and his face showed a look of joy.
"No wonder Ziming admires you so much, Bo Yan, you are really extremely smart!
This time, I hand over all military power to you.
Just do it! Between Sun and Liu, there will be a battle sooner or later!
We must take the lead as soon as possible, so that the situation will be more favorable in the future! β
"Obey the order!"
Lu Xun clenched his fists and bowed deeply to Sun Quan again...
β¦β¦
The scorching sun is in the sky, the sky is cloudless, and the occasional breeze seems to carry a heat wave.
Xu Huang and Yu Ban have been waiting here for a long time with 3,000 elite soldiers.
After getting the news of Xu Tian's arrival today.
At Cheng Yu's insistence, the two of them led the army and went out of the city twenty miles to greet each other.
But what they didn't expect was that Xu Tian was delayed.
Yu Ban even thought that Xu Tian was deliberately playing tricks on them.
If Xu Huang hadn't tried his best to dissuade him, he would have led his army back long ago.
What they didn't know was that the man they were waiting for was still thirty miles away...
β¦
Xu Tian lazily leaned on the carriage pulled by four war horses.
With the "crunch" of the wheels, it walked forward very slowly.
Yes, extremely slowly, not even as fast as a donkey cart.
The 20,000 troops escorting him were even slower, according to Xu Tian's orders.
On this road, don't walk if you can rest.
If you can walk slowly, don't run, the slower the better.
As a result, there were only two days left to go, and one more day was left.
Shen Du rode on his horse, looking at the slowly marching team, he was a little uneasy.
He looked at the slow carriage that was swaying forward.
After a little hesitation, Shen Du still slapped his horse and walked side by side with the carriage.
"Lord!"
Shen Du looked at the sleepy Xu Tian, his face was a little strange.
Hearing Shen Du's voice, Xu Tian slowly raised his eyelids.
"Obey the rules? Is there something wrong? β
"Isn't it a little too slow for us to walk like this?
If they make a big fuss about it, we'll be passive! β
Shen Du's face was worried.
This time, only he followed Xu Tian with 20,000 people.
Along the way, he was wondering how to better avoid something.
"Don't worry! This time, whatever we do, they will choose to accept it silently.
Not only that, but they won't even have a word of complaint! β
Xu Tian's faint voice came, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.
"Why is that?"
"Think about it, what will happen if we go to Wancheng?
Naturally, we were well entertained, and then dragged us warmly in Wancheng.
In this way, the army of the king of Wei had the opportunity to go straight to Xiangyang and seize our back road.
Therefore, they will not solve it by force unless absolutely necessary.
Do you understand now? β
Xu Tian's words were very interesting.
"yes, I've been thinking about it all the way.
Today's Jingzhou has become a land of right and wrong, whether it is King Wei, Liu Bei, or Sun Quan, each of them can't wait to get it!
This is our very critical moment!
If we make any mistakes, we will be doomed! β
"So, we can't afford to have any mistakes!
Every step of the way must be done seamlessly.
Crises may bring failure and no return.
But at the same time, he also brought great opportunities! β
Xu Tian clenched his fists and grinned...
