Pan Jun's words seemed to inject a clear spring into Sun Deng's already withered body, and he suddenly felt that every pore on his body was very comfortable, and even the eyes of the whole person exuded bright colors.

"You tell me how to do it." Sun Deng's voice was a little hoarse.

"Sun Luban will kill himself if he commits many injustices, and when the time comes, the domestic gentlemen will gather to respond, and the prince will raise his arms and shout, and he will definitely be able to win."

Sun Deng thought that Pan Jun had some high opinion, it turned out to be a bowl of chicken soup for the soul, he was slightly unhappy, endured the evil fire in his heart, and said, "That's it?" ”

"Of course not." Pan Jun said confidently, "You wait and see what happens, and wait to ascend to the supreme position." ”

After Zhu Ran led the army to break through Qichun, he launched a fierce attack on Xiakou non-stop, trying to take advantage of the victory in the Battle of Qichun to completely drive Shibao out of the territory of Eastern Wu to reach the pre-war level. In the future, he will occupy some advantages at the negotiation table with Ji Han.

Zhu Ran knew in his heart that now that Ji Han had become bigger, if it weren't for Cao Wei's involvement, they would be able to destroy Eastern Wu with their hearts.

If the war between the two countries becomes a full-scale war, Dongwu, which has lost the two strategic places of Xiangyang and Jiangling, will have to pay huge losses even if it can withstand it.

But they think so, and the stone bud who retreated to Xiakou doesn't think so,

This young new generation of famous generals is now waiting for the moment of meritorious service, in the face of the governor of Soochow, Shi Bao is not afraid at all, in the first confrontation with the Soochow sailors, he took advantage of the upstream, boldly and quickly interspersed with the rear of the Soochow fleet, causing a huge blow to the Soochow sailors,

Fortunately, Lu Xun, who was in charge of guarding the rear, was calm and calm, and prepared a large number of sandbags early so that the Molotov cocktails of the Han army did not play a big role, otherwise if Shi Bud won a big victory, he could almost go down the river and go directly to Jianye.

"Damn, where did this kid named Shibud come from, it's so difficult to deal with."

In the cabin where only one lamp was lit, Zhu Ran, who was covered in sweat and smell, hammered his thigh, hating and resentful.

The wide cabin was filled with warriors and Wenchen who followed Zhu Ran on this expedition, and almost all the elites of the Wu military were dispatched, which shows that the Wu army attaches absolutely importance to this battle.

"Bo Yan, what do you think?" Zhu Ran had always admired Lu Xun's idea, and when he saw that everyone didn't speak, he asked Lu Xun to speak first.

Lu Xun was also sad, and said: "In this battle, our army is going against the current, it is difficult to take a trick, and now Shibao occupies an important place, and he has a posture of fighting to the death with us, unless he can go around his rear to attack, otherwise there is really no good opportunity." A strategy to break the enemy. ”

Xiakou is the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Han River, where the water flow is turbulent, and the advantage of fighting upstream and downstream is very obvious, so Shi Bao deliberately selected this place as the blocking location, even if the troops are small, it is enough to kill the Wu army dare not take the lead.

Zhu Ran sighed and said: "I don't know about this, but this time I am entrusted by the Son of Heaven, if I can't recapture Xiakou, how can I have the face to repay the great kindness of the Son of Heaven?" Even if it is difficult and dangerous, please fight hard in order to exchange for a glimmer of life for my Dongwu. ”

Everyone knew that what Zhu Ran said was right, so they all bowed their heads and silently calculated the solution, and after a long time, Lu Xun said: "Xun has a plan - now that Wenpin is stationed in Jiangbei, I might as well send an envoy to make a secret agreement with Wenpin, so that he can attack the rear of Shibao when the battle starts, which will definitely make the Shu army's formation chaotic, and then our army will have a chance to win." ”

Lu Xun has been fighting with this terrifying Han army for the longest time, and he knows that Zhao Hao's subordinates are all a group of mad dogs who are not afraid of death, and once they encounter the enemy, they will pounce on them like hungry wolves.

Everyone was still silent, and no one dared to preemptively express their attitude at this time.

There's no way, Wenpin really makes Soochow love and hate.

He has always been a fierce rival of Soochow before, and he has fallen in love with the Soochow sailors many times, and not long ago he kidnapped the prince of Soochow and forced Soochow to join the war group.

Except for Zhao Hao, he is almost the second hated person in Eastern Wu, even above Zhang Liao who is stationed in Hefei,

But now he is the closest and most effective reinforcement that Soochow can choose.

He was opposite Xiakou, and when Dongwu and Ji Han's sailors were fighting, as long as he attacked with the whole army, he would definitely be able to cause great trouble to Ji Han.

But......

"If so, aren't we making wedding dresses for others?" The smile on Zhu Ran's bronzed face became more and more bitter, "We have been fighting fiercely with Wenpin for many years, don't we know this guy?"

If Wen Ping takes advantage of the battle between us and Shu Kou to seize Xiakou, he will definitely take the opportunity to bite and not let go, and when the time comes, we will have to fight with Wen Ping, wouldn't it be lifting a stone to shoot myself in the foot! ”

"Is there any other way?" Lu Xun sighed, "The current Shu Kingdom is not what it used to be, their main force in Yizhou is not moving, and it is difficult for me to wait an inch only by relying on this Jingzhou alone.

If you can't beat Xiakou early, and wait for Zhao Hao's gang to clean up Cao Pi, maybe Shu will be able to go down the river and attack my Eastern Wu first.

The rank should know in his heart how Zhao Hao treats the gentlemen of the world, and in his heart, we are more hateful than Cao Weike. ”

Luo Tongyi, who was fighting with the army, did not speak, and only when he heard this did he nod and said: "What Bo Yan said is good, our army is attacking against the current, and it is already a taboo for soldiers, so it is better for me to meet with Wen Ping first, know the benefits, and then persuade him to participate in the war." ”

Zhu Ran took a deep breath and said, "It seems that there is only this way." ”

Luo Tong volunteered to go to Jiangbei to see Wen Ping, and when Wen Ping heard that Luo Tong was coming, he smiled even more in his heart.

He has secretly taken refuge in Zhao Hao for a long time, and is still stationed in Jiangbei as a general of the Wei army, he doesn't have to worry about the Han army crossing the river to beat him, he still drinks and eats meat every day, the years are quiet and good, and he is extraordinarily comfortable.

A few days ago, he cooperated with the Han army to attack and arrest Sun Deng, and he was even rewarded by the Han Military Academy, which made him even happier in his heart.

"Hehe, you said it was a coincidence, Wu Guo will have someone to take the initiative to send him to death, I'm embarrassed if I don't accept it."

Now that the Wei State is in turmoil, Wen Ping admires his choice even more at that time, he still doesn't know that Zhang Dang is the spy king of the Han army, and he is still thinking about seeing Zhao Hao in the future, and he wants a background for this good brother who was born and died.

Zhang Dang was always modest, and said: "General Zhongye, although this Luo Tong is famous, he is not an important figure in the Wu army. ”

"Hey, you don't know when I see that guy, I have my own opinions.

If I can capture the governor of Eastern Wu, it will be a great achievement, and when the time comes, I can also be regarded as the number one hero of the Han platoon. ”

Luo Tongyi was worried that Wen Ping would push back and say that he would not see himself, but he didn't expect Wen Ping's attitude to be so good, first asked someone to boil water and asked Luo Tong to wash it, and then asked someone to prepare a good dish for a long time.

During the banquet, Wen Ping, who had a magnificent amount of wine, couldn't help but persuade Luo Tong to drink, although Luo Tong was not strong enough to drink, but for the smooth progress of the work, he was very happy to drink one cup after another with Wen Ping.

During the banquet, Wen Ping humbly asked Luo Tong for advice on the principles of governing the country, Luo Tong did not hide his selfishness, and talked eloquently to Wen Ping about a lot of his own ideas of governance.

Wen Ping patiently wrote it down, thinking that when he saw Liu Chan in the future, he could also draw a gourd and brag about it, which made people look at him a little bit impressively.

After three rounds of drinking, the topic of the two finally returned to today's main topic.

"General Zhongye, Wei and Wu are allies, today our army is attacking Xiakou in a hurry, and the Shu army is strong, and the generals are here, but they are here to ask the general to send troops."

"Well...... this," Wen Ping wisped his beard and said, "Our army is a weak major general, and I have lost several battles with the Shu army before, and I can't hide it, but now the army is saying that the Shu army is invincible in water warfare, and our army does not dare to board the ship to meet the enemy." ”

Wen Ping and Zhang Dang thought about it again and again, and they both felt that if they agreed, it might attract the suspicion of those old foxes in Dongwu, so it was better to prevaricate first.

Luo Tong had already prepared for Wen Ping's prevarication, and he smiled indifferently and said: "General Zhongye's words are wrong, in the past, the general was an enemy of the Shu army and an army, and now my Eastern Wu Metropolitan Governor Zhu Ran is in command, and he has come from all over the country. ”

"If the general agrees, our army will choose a day to fight with the Shu army again, and when the general sees the fight on the river, he will lead the army to attack the rear of the Shu army, and he will be able to defeat the Shu Kou and avenge the previous arrow."

Wen Ping thought for a while and said, "Although we are allies, each is its own master, and it is all for Xia Kou,

If you defeat Shibao, who will own this Xiakou? ”

Here it comes!

Luo Tong had long known that Wen Ping wanted to ask such a question, and he said with a straight face: "Xiakou is the lifeblood of Eastern Wu, and it naturally belongs to Eastern Wu." ”

He didn't wait for Wen Ping to refute, raised his voice and said: "General, Wei and Wu are lips and teeth, and now Zhao Hao is in a hurry to attack Chang'an, if there is no war between our army and Shu, I am afraid that your country will be destroyed overnight."

The general is a loyal and good general, and naturally knows that what the commander said is true.

If Wei gets Xiakou, but it only adds one more land, it will block our Eastern Wu in Jiangdong, and it will not be able to fight with the Shu army.

His Shu army marched eastward, and the general couldn't hold Xiakou,

If our army occupies Xiakou, it will be able to use the generals as horns, so that the Shu army will not dare to embarrass the generals at will. ”

"When Zhao Hao is defeated in Chang'an, we can do our best, attack Jiangling and Xiangyang, and then break the Yizhou of Shu, with the Yangtze River as the boundary, and divide the world in two, isn't it beautiful?"

The big cake painted by Luo Tong was very attractive, Wen Ping was very moved, he nodded, thought for a long time, and said: "It's okay, since this is the case, I will personally lead the army and fight with your army in Xiakou."

It's just that if your army breaks through Xiakou, you need to fund our army with grain, grass and military supplies, and if the Shu army has a pawn, it also needs to return to my Jiangbei. ”

"Well...... Luo Tong pretended to think for a while, and said, "Okay, I will agree to this matter for the Governor of the Metropolitan and ask General Wen to keep his word." ”

Wen Ping smiled and said: "My Wen Ping has always been a man of his word, but your country has always been capricious.

Speaking of which, after all, it is for your army to fight, before the war, it is good to ask Governor Zhu Ran to meet me on the river? ”
