Chapter 168: Pursuing Victory

After seeing the person clearly, Sun Quan's dull eyes moved, and he hurriedly stepped forward to hold Lu Xun's hand, as if a drowning man had grabbed a straw, and said with tears in his eyes:

"I regret not listening to the advice of my uncle, resulting in today's defeat, the loss of the army, and the lonely heart, how painful!"

Lu Xun sighed secretly in his heart.

It is rumored that Wu Hou is a cold person, and he can condescend to those who can use it or see it; For useless people or people who don't like it, they won't even look at it with a straight eye.

I don't realize it on weekdays, but I finally have learned something these days.

Before the war, Wu Hou was full of confidence and ambition, and he couldn't listen to persuasion no matter what; Now that the war has been defeated, the attitude has changed abruptly.

But Lu Xun thought to himself, is there any other choice than to help as much as possible?

The Lu family lives in Wu County, Jiangdong, and everything depends on Sun's breath; What's more, Wu Hou married his brother and daughter to him as his wife, and he also used him very much, both in public and private, and he had to serve him wholeheartedly.

However, compared with Yuan Shao's stubbornness and self-use, Wu Hou can finally change his mistakes, which can be called pragmatic.

I hope that Wu Hou will be able to grow wise after this trench.

Lu Xun helped Sun Quan back to the main seat and sat down, and said with relief:

"Don't worry, the lord has strengthened the defense of the camp and put people on strict guard, and the Shu army will not be able to attack for a while."

After Sun Quan heard this, his panic regained slightly, and he asked: "Have you ever informed Ziming (Lu Mengzi) that he sent reinforcements to come?" ”

Lu Xun shook his head and said, "Fang Caichen has sent the letter to Jiangling. However, Liu Bei is a person who knows the soldiers, and he will definitely occupy the Jiangjin ferry along the way. In a short period of time, Gangneung reinforcements will not be able to reach here. ”

Sun Quan's hope was disappointed, and he stood for a long time, Fang sighed: "I don't know what to do?" ”

When he thought of the scene where the Qinglong Glaive could pass in front of his neck, he couldn't help but feel a little afraid.

At this time, Lu Xun bowed down and hugged his fists and said: "The Shu army can't attack it, but our army can't attack it either." It will inevitably damage the body of the lord, and the minister proposed to negotiate peace with Liu Bei. ”

Sun Quan's heart moved, and he immediately shook his head and said, "Our army is defeated, what can I do to negotiate peace with Liu Bei?" ”

Lu Xun said: "The minister previously found out that Liu Bei's military rations were less than a month's expenses, and now he has added... Tens of thousands of captives ......"

When Lu Xun said this, he looked at Sun Quan sideways, and saw that there was no abnormality on his face, so he continued: "In this way, the military rations of the Shu army are even more stretched, if our side knows the benefits and gives enough benefits, Liu Bei may not agree." ”

Sun Quan was greatly moved, got up and paced left and right, he was afraid that Liu Bei would take the opportunity to open his mouth, and after thinking for a long time, Fang stopped and turned around:

"According to Bo's words, what does Liu Bei want?"

Lu Xun said in his heart: "Liu Bei naturally wants Jingzhou Nanjun ......" But he couldn't say it, so he had to say:

"The so-called price starts on the ground and pays back on the ground. The lord might as well send someone to find out the details of Liu Bei. ”

Sun Quan first bowed slightly, then shook his head again, and said:

"Ziyu's younger brother Zhuge Liang is an official in Shuzhong and is deeply trusted by Liu Bei, if he is here, he should be the best choice for the envoy. It's just that the other person is in Gangneung right now, and apart from him, he really can't think of anyone who can be the messenger. ”

Just as he was sighing, Lu Xun said, "Don't worry." After this battle, the morale of the Shu army was high, and it would definitely not easily agree to peace talks. In the past few days, the Shu army is scheduled to attack the camp now. And wait for the ministers to rub their sharpness, and then send envoys not too late. ”

When Sun Quan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He looked at Lu Xun and saw that his face was calm, his eyes were firm, as calm as usual, he did not panic at all, and he did not show resentment because of his previous coldness.

Sun Quan stepped forward to hold Lu Xun's hands, and sighed sincerely: "Bo Yan is loyal and sincere, and the minister of the true society is also." In this way, all the important things will be entrusted to you. ”

Lu Xun bowed and said, "This is all within the minister's responsibility." ”

******

However, it was said that on the Han army's side, except for the fact that Guan Yu was worried about running away from Sun Quan, this battle could be described as a complete victory, and the whole army was jubilant.

Liu Bei ordered to collect the horses killed in the field, make a pot of broth, and the whole army added food, and the camp suddenly thundered with joy.

Only Shamoko was not in a good mood.

Originally, he shot the fierce general Gan Ning with an arrow, made a great contribution, and was praised by the king of Hanzhong, and some ordinary generals began to take the initiative to greet him when they saw him.

This made his bones seem to lose three points, and from then on, he would even walk with a gust of wind.

The only thing that puzzled him was that for some reason, General Zhang ignored him, not only did he look at him very badly, but he was about to make a look of being eaten alive as soon as he got close.

I have no choice but to avoid it from afar.

In addition to Shamoke, Fa Zheng's mood was also very heavy.

What others see is the results of the battle, but he sees hidden worries.

The addition of these captives and horses meant that the mouth of food was doubled at once, and the military rations did not increase or decrease, how much and how much.

When he reported this concern to Liu Bei, Liu Bei was dining with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and the three of them were talking and laughing, and they were in a good mood.

But Wen Zhang Fei smiled: "If there is no food, go and grab it!" Sun Quan brought so many soldiers and horses, and there must be a large amount of grain and grass in the camp. Wu thief is newly defeated, and after a while the soldiers have eaten enough, they will attack the camp, isn't it a hundred? ”

Liu Bei also said with a smile: "What Yide said is very true, as the so-called iron should be struck while it is hot, the morale of the Wu army is low, and after our army has a full meal, it will attack the Wu army camp overnight, and we will definitely pull out this thorn in the eye!" ”

He looked at Guan Yu and said: "When Sun Quan Xiao'er is captured, our army will go down the river and recover Nanjun, which is to take Sun Quan's place in Yangzhou, and it is not impossible." ”

Guan Yu knew that his brother's words were intended to make him angry, and with gratitude, he gave it up again and again.

Zhang Fei didn't know what to do, and laughed and said: "Not bad, how can Sun Quan be a child, according to this fertile soil, we will take the land of Jiangdong first, and then fight to the death with Cao Cao!" ”

Fa Zheng wanted to accept it when he saw it, and forced Dongwu to vomit some blood and then collect his troops and return to Shuzhong, but when he saw that the three main generals had made up their minds to attack the Wu army camp, he was no longer bored with himself, and swallowed his words back into his stomach.

Now that the army is reborn and its morale is like a rainbow, it may not have a chance to break through the Wu army camp.

******

At the end of the day, the three armies of the Han army had dinner and lit huge bonfires around the camp of the Wu army, preparing to attack overnight

Liu Bei personally commanded in front of the formation.

Siege is no better than field warfare, and there is no trick to do it.

He first ordered the two trebuchets, two giant battering rams, and ten ladders to be carried to the front of the battle, unfolded them in turn, and ordered:

"Attack the city tonight, the first to break the camp, the reward is one million, and the official will be promoted to the third level!"

For a while, the crowd was excited, and everyone fought bravely.

Leaving aside the wounded soldiers and the soldiers used to guard the prisoners of the Wu army, there were only more than 15,000 people available in front of them.

Although there were more than 10,000 people in the Wu army camp, the morale of the Han army was high, and they did not take these defeated generals in their eyes at all.

The art of war has clouds, and there are three ques and one around.

The purpose of the vacant gate is to give the defenders the illusion that there is still a way back, and once the defenders are at a disadvantage, the defenders will be depressed and flee.

A few miles away from the east gate of the Wu army, Liu Bei had already ambushed Yu Linwei and the Tiger Cavalry Camp in the shadows, just waiting for Sun Quan to enter the alley.
