Chapter 1325: Lu Xun's plan to divide his troops
"General Right, Wei Kou's camp is burned down, do you need to inform the generals, prepare troops and horses, and then cover up the killing!?"
Lu Xun's face was calm, his eyes narrowed slightly, but he was silent. After a while, Lu Xun shook his head and said.
"Tonight our army rested in the city, and did not fight. If the Wei Kou camp caught fire for no reason, it must have self-destructed, trying to lure our army out of the city. Don't act rashly!! ”
The next day, the fire was slightly weaker, and the surrounding area of the Wei army's Dazhai was covered with black soil and smoke. The scorching temperature makes you feel like you're in a furnace. A group of Wu soldiers scouted on horseback, visited for a while, and then bypassed the camp and went to the rear to investigate. Until noon, the scouts reported that within a radius of dozens of miles, there were no Wei soldiers. At this time, Lu Xun was discussing with the generals in the county office, and he heard the scouts report like this. Zhu Ran's face froze, his eyes flashed, and he hurriedly walked out of the admonition.
"Wei Kou self-destructed the camp, most likely because he saw the arrival of our army's reinforcements, and the previous repeated defeats, which reduced the troops, so he was cowardly and withdrew his troops. General Right, now is a great time, why not immediately send troops to pursue, break the Xiahou Yuan army in one fell swoop, and then quickly look at Wu County to advance to solve the danger of Wu County!! ”
As soon as Zhu Ran's voice fell, Quan Cong's huge eyes widened like copper bells, and he shouted.
"What General Zhu said is very true!! Without further ado, please also ask the right general to give an order, and the last general is willing to be the vanguard!! ”
I only heard Quan Cong's big voice, like a bell ringing suddenly, shaking the hall as if shaking. However, Lu Xun was indifferent, his sharp eyes were as sharp as a sharp edge, he narrowed slightly, and there was an invisible power in his body, his eyes slowly turned to Zhuge Ke, and he asked unhurriedly.
"Does Yuan Xun have a different view on this matter?"
When Zhuge Ke heard this, he hurriedly shook his spirits, his eyes were like bursting light, brilliant people, and said in a deep voice.
"Returning to the right general, according to Ke's opinion, it is likely that Wei Kou is retreating as a plan to advance."
As soon as Zhuge Ke said this, the faces of all the generals in the hall changed, and Zhu Ran and Quan Cong glanced at each other, both of them at a loss. Lu Xun listened, but showed a smile, the corners of his mouth smiled, and he asked again.
"How to advance by retreating, Yuan Xun can say in detail."
Zhuge Ke saw the look of approval in Lu Xun's eyes, his expression was shocked, his heart was overjoyed, and his confidence immediately soared, as if he was strategizing, witty words, and eloquently.
"Xiahou Miaocai has always been brave and heroic, and he will never be easily defeated. At present, our army has 30,000 new troops, and the strength of the army has increased greatly. Xiahou Miaocai knew that it would be difficult to win a strong battle, but he expected that we were eager to fight in Wu County, but when he saw that his army was withdrawn, he would inevitably hope that the Wu army would march quickly. Therefore, Xiahou Miaocai took retreat as advance, first showed it weakly, and taught me to think that he was timid, so he was unprepared, but Xiahou Miaocai was ambushed on the back road! If our army fails to see through its plan, it will surely be defeated! ”
As soon as Zhuge Ke said this, there was a burst of exclamations in the hall. Zhu Ran and Quan Cong were all shocked, neither of them was ignorant, and after being reminded by Zhuge Ke like this, after thinking about it carefully, they couldn't help but shudder. When Lu Xun heard this, he laughed loudly, covered his palms and laughed, looked at Zhuge Ke, and even said yes.
"Good! Good!! Good!!! Yuan Xun has a unique vision, and he can see the depth at a glance, no wonder King Wu appreciates you so much!! ”
Zhuge Ke was overjoyed by Lu Xun's praise, but on the surface, he pretended to be modest, and hurriedly gave up.
"The right general is falsely praised. Ke is a shallow learner, presumably General Right has long seen Xiahou Yuan's plan, but he wants to ask Yu Ke. ”
Lu Xun smiled, seeing Zhuge Ke, after last night's words, his temperament was really a lot more restrained, and he was also relieved in his heart. Then, Lu Xun looked around at the generals, and after a deep groan, he said in a condensed voice.
"The war in Wu County is related to the rise and fall of our Eastern Wu, and it is urgent to wait, and now we have been delayed for nearly a month, and we must not be lazy. I want to divide the army into two routes, and I will set off on the same day. All the way, he quickly looked east and faced the river, and then rushed north to Wu County. All the way to Changsha, he first defeated Xiahou Yuan's army to ensure that the southwest was safe, and then rushed to Wu County to help. What do you think is the right thing to do? ”
After Lu Xun finished speaking, he slowly fixed his eyes on Zhuge Ke. Zhuge Ke realized in his heart and immediately bowed his hand.
"It is appropriate for the right general to make such a transfer. I am willing to lead the soldiers of the state to fight with the Xiahou Yuan army!! ”
When Lu Xun heard this, his eyes narrowed, and after looking at Zhuge Ke for a while, he said earnestly.
"Although Xiahou Miaocai is in his twilight years, he is still not old, and he is brave enough to win the three armies. According to the previous capture of the Wei army prisoners, Jiang Boyo did not lose his life, this son is not only brave, but also has a strategy, not an idle person. If Yuan Xun wants to fight against him, he must be cautious in everything, and he must not take it lightly and be careless to the enemy, otherwise he will be destroyed!! ”
Seeing that Lu Xun was so cautious, especially when he talked about Jiang Wei, Zhuge Ke's tone couldn't help but increase a little more, and a hint of strange color flashed in his eyes. Zhuge Ke saw it in his eyes, kept it in his heart, was respectful, and bowed his hands and bowed.
"I will not disappoint the high expectations of General Right!"
When Lu Xun heard this, he bowed his head heavily, shouted hello, and then gave orders to the generals, teaching them to prepare their troops and horses, pack their bags, and teach Zhu Ran to order Qi Qi to prepare for war. The generals retreated one after another. Lu Xun cast a look at Zhuge Ke, and then turned to the back hall. Zhuge Ke understood and followed. Suddenly, Zhuge Ke followed Lu Xun's steps to the back hall. Lu Xun's face was solemn, and Zhuge Ke said in a deep voice.
"You are still young, you have little experience in war, you don't know the cunning, and you are not the enemy of Xiahou Yuan and Jiang Wei. When you go this time, the main purpose is to entangle the Xiahou Yuan army, so as to wait for the opportunity, and you must not rush for quick success. ”
As soon as Lu Xun's words fell, the corners of Zhuge Ke's eyes couldn't help but touch slightly, and a trace of indignation flashed, but he pretended to be taught, and asked.
"I don't know when and when General Right said, but I also ask General Right for advice."
Lu Xun's expression was shocked, his eyes looked into the distance, and he said slowly.
"Your uncle, I'm rushing to Changsha with General Zhu. Presumably soon. With your uncle in charge, how can Xiahou Yuan and Jiang Wei be their opponents!? ”
When Zhuge Ke heard this, he suddenly woke up, but his eyes couldn't help but swell up a little doubt. At this time, Zhuge Ke's eyes were captured by Lu Xun. Lu Xun's face sank, and then he said again.
"Yuan Xun, your uncle is only eight buckets tall, rich and rich, has a heavenly mind, and has an unpredictable strategy of ghosts and gods in his belly. In the whole world, no one can compare. Thou shalt not have any contempt, thou art and he are uncles and nephews, each of whom is his own master, but now he and I are in the same boat, and if thou greets him humbly, he will pour out his teachings. If you can learn from him, one or two out of ten, you will be of infinite use in the future!! ”
Lu Xun's eyes were complicated, with admiration and jealousy, and there was even a bit of inexplicable regret.
Zhuge Ke's heart rippled, although Lu Xun told him so heartily, he was still half-convinced. As Lu Xun said, isn't his uncle like a fairy. Zhuge Ke has been known as a prodigy since he was a child, and he has been praised by others, and even Sun Quan, the king of Wu, appreciates him. Over time, he naturally had high eyes, and even thought that if he was intelligent, he would be the first person in the world. At this time, when Lu Xun said that there was a person whose intelligence and strategy were more than a hundred times higher than him, and this person was his uncle Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Ke was really unacceptable for a while.
It turned out that Zhuge Ke had been listening to the people around him secretly compare his father and uncle since he was a child, saying how his uncle was so good, that Wolong could win the world, but his father seemed worthless and brilliant in comparison. Zhuge Ke was naturally angry, and he was determined to surpass Zhuge Liang in the future and fight for his father! But when he saw that Lu Xun, who was known as the one with the highest strategy in Eastern Wu after Zhou Yu, he was also so admired by Zhuge Liang, and he was even a little jealous. Zhuge Ke suddenly, he felt that the comparable figure hidden in his heart suddenly became ten thousand feet high, pressing himself like a heavenly dome, out of reach.
Gradually, Zhuge Ke couldn't help clenching the fist in his sleeve, and his heart was like an angry wave, rolling and surging. Lu Xun didn't know the changes in Zhuge Ke's heart, and when he saw that he lost his mind all of a sudden, his brows furrowed, and he called out repeatedly. Zhuge Ke came back to his senses suddenly, saw Lu Xun's gaze, and hurriedly replied.
"The orders of the right general must be kept in mind!"
Lu Xun listened, bowed slightly, and then taught Zhuge Ke to prepare. Zhuge Ke received the order, and the moment he turned around, bursts of brilliant light burst out in his eyes, he was young and vigorous, how could he be willing to be left behind, let alone the character he had always wanted to surpass.
With Lu Xun's allocation, all the troops and horses in Linxiang City have prepared. The next day, Lu Xun ordered Zhu Ran to be the vanguard general, leading 8,000 soldiers and horses to attack first, while Lu Xun and Quan Cong and other generals led nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses to march later. The other line of soldiers and horses was led by Zhuge Ke, and after scouting, Xiahou Yuan's army withdrew to Changle City. So Zhuge Ke led 30,000 Jiaozhou soldiers to look at Changle City.
Let's say that Xiahou Yuan led the troops to withdraw to Changle, and after resting for a few days, suddenly one day, he made a report that the Eastern Wu army was divided into two routes, all the way to Changle and the other to Linchuan. Xiahou Yuan's face changed greatly when he heard the report, and Jiang Wei, who was beside him, also frowned. It turned out that Xiahou Yuan and Jiang Wei both thought that Lu Xun would gather a large army and go north directly, looking at Wu County, but neither of them expected that Lu Xun would divide his troops into two routes, and he did not hesitate to take a long detour along the way, turn to the east, bypass his own army, and then go north. Jiang Wei's brain was spinning, and he quickly saw the clues, and sighed and said to Xiahou Yuan.
"It seems that Wei is too contemptuous of that Lu Boyan. This must be Lu Boyan's strategy to see through Wei, but because he was anxious for the war in Wu County, he didn't want to be too entangled with our army, so he divided his troops into two ways. Those who went to Linchuan must be the reinforcements from Wangwu County. And this hope for Changle is to entangle our army, so that it is difficult for our army to catch up with the other way of soldiers and horses, so as to fight to the death again, so as to protect the southwest of Eastern Wu! ”
Xiahou Yuan's face changed when he heard this, his eyes widened, he withdrew his throat, and shouted loudly.
