The red light on Lu Su's face flashed, and I picked up the seven copper coins one by one with my right hand into the palm of my left hand, and then put my right hand on top of my left hand. To be honest, after so much time, my English level has dropped a lot, and it is really difficult for me to recite a fluent English text for Lusu soothsayer like last time. So I decided to be simpler, and I shook the copper coin in my hand and sang him the English alphabet song: abcdefg, hijklmn.opq, rst.uvw, xyz.xyz?nowyouSee, everybodysingswithme!

I tried to keep my voice as low as possible, lest the English singing be too cheerful and lose the atmosphere of divination. Looking at Lu Su, an honest man, who was stunned again, I felt deeply refreshed again after singing the alphabet song. What's more, this time there is Lu Meng, who has seen me for the first time, and this guy's expression is even more exaggerated, as if he saw the sun falling from the sky.

After singing the last sentence, I threw the copper coin on the bed, and the copper coin scattered, one positive and six negative, and then the probability of a relatively small result. Lu Su's eyes were fixed on the seven copper coins, and then he immediately looked at me, although I could read the hope in his eyes, but how to connect this positive and six negative with my next words, I always have to think about it for a while, right?

Lu Su saw that I hadn't spoken for a long time, his face became more and more panicked, and he looked at me as if I was an immortal who could pronounce his life and death.

On the one hand, I have to try to convince Lu Su that he can't sneak attack our Jingzhou with the alliance, and on the other hand, I have to stick it with this so-called "hexagram".

Lu Su asked me strongly, "But will you die soon?" Life and death are fateful, but the general said that it was okay. Even though he said that, I could clearly hear the tremor in his voice.

Seeing that he was so nervous, I was so much easier. I decided not to make up too many stories with him, I shook my head, patted Lu Su's body with my right hand and said, "The governor is relieved, although this hexagram is dangerous, it is not impossible. ”

"What's the solution, you can say it quickly!" When it comes to Lu Su's life and death, Lu Meng looks obviously more anxious than Lu Su.

I smiled slightly, put the copper coins that I had thrown on Lu Su's bed one by one, and said to the two: "This hexagram is not good for sword soldiers, if you want the governor to be fine, within a year, the governor of the capital will not be able to lead the troops to battle." ”

"What? Just a few copper coins, you want me to take a one-year break from the army? "Lu Meng is really a belligerent, and when he heard that he hadn't fought for a year, he immediately questioned me.

I didn't bother to explain it to him, and I thought to myself, "Why are you asking me?" How can I explain it to you if I lie to you casually? It's just that he spread his hands out in a helpless state: "General Lu is angry, the heavenly machine must not be revealed, my method of divination is contained in ancient books, and I can only calculate the hexagram below, but not the hexagram, as for whether it works or not, most of your family governors know it in their hearts." ”

When Lu Su heard that he was actually saved, his spirit suddenly relaxed a lot, and he waved his hand at Lu Meng and said, "Ziming, don't be excited. General Zhuge also said just now, it's just that I can't lead the troops to fight within a year, and I have a lot of talents in Dongwu, and if I have a good fighter, I will naturally not miss it. After saying that, he gave me a meaningful look.

This glance made my heart sink, and I didn't know if Lu Su said this sentence intentionally, in order to hide the uneasiness in my heart, I had to say: "What the Metropolitan Governor said is extremely true, if General Guan captures Fancheng and Xuzhou's troops are transferred westward, why do you need the Metropolitan Governor to go out, look down, as long as General Lu leads the troops, Hefei will be at your fingertips!" ”

"The general is very right, Ziming's talent is enough to take on a big responsibility." Lu Su looked at Lu Meng with appreciation, and Lu Meng bowed his head and responded: "Most of the governors praise falsely, and the last general will be afraid!" In the land of Hefei, the army led by the lord and his father-in-law could not be conquered, let alone the last general. ”

"Hehe, Ziming, you are really becoming more and more modest, so good, so good! Ahem! After all, he was in poor health, and Lu Su coughed twice when he said this. I took my leave, declined Lu Su's offer to stay a few more days, and after informing him that the 50,000 arrows would be sent directly to the front line in Xiangyang, I returned to Jiangling by boat.

Returning to Jiangling and getting some favorable news about our army from Mi Fang, Guan Yu raised troops to attack Fancheng, Cao Ren's subordinate Niu Jin volunteered to fight against the enemy Guan Yu, Guan Yu made Guan Ping fight, the two fought for fifty rounds, did not distinguish between victory and defeat, and returned to the camp respectively. In the afternoon, Niu Jin asked Guan Yu to fight, Guan Yu was annoyed, only seven or eight together, Niu Jin was defeated and fled back to Fancheng. Guan Yu didn't chase after him, he just sneered, took advantage of the situation to surround Fancheng and attack day and night.

I don't know if the 5,000 soldiers that Shana took away are now outside Fancheng City, and now there are 5,000 people in Jiangling for me to mobilize, and Mi Fang's subordinates are only 3,000 people, if I transfer the generals and horses to Xiangyang to Jiangling, it will be a little empty, but if I give these 5,000 people to Mi Fang and only take my own soldiers to Xiangyang, but I am afraid that in case of a sneak attack on Nanjun by Eastern Wu, Mi Fang will surrender with my 5,000 people.

After thinking about it, I decided to put these 5,000 people under my control first, and then talk about the rest. After all, the 5,000 people that Shana took away are likely to have been incorporated into Guan Yu's command now, if I don't take these 5,000 people from Jiangling, then in case of a sneak attack on Jingzhou by Eastern Wu, I won't be able to use any more methods.

I took the 5,000 soldiers from Jiangling under the pretext that Guan Yu asked me to increase troops to the front line, Mi Fang did not say anything, stayed day and night, and after arriving in Xiangyang, I saw Shana and was pleasantly surprised to find that the 5,000 soldiers she brought to Xiangyang had not been transferred to Fancheng. It is not surprising that it is Ma Liang who was left behind in Xiangyang to lead things, after all, Guan Yu is besieging Fancheng in front, and all the generals who can fight have been transferred to the front line by him, behind the strong wall of Xiangyang City, and then in the rear, with Ma Liang's talent, plus the five thousand soldiers brought by Shana, there is no problem in guarding this big city and supplying grain and grass to the front line of Fancheng.

After meeting Ma Liang, he couldn't help but greet me, he asked me about the process of going to Lukou and his views on Eastern Wu, I gave Ma Liang a general description of Lu Su's condition, omitted to mention the matter of divination for Lu Su again, and told him that I was worried that Guan Yu would do his best to attack Fancheng, and it would be easy to cause Dongwu to sneak attack Jingzhou.

Ma Liang said to me with a smile: "This matter with the army Sima Wangfu has made a message to General Guan, General Guan has ordered him to lead people up and down the river or twenty miles, or thirty miles to choose a high place to build a beacon tower, each with 50 troops to defend it, if the Wu soldiers cross the river, the night will be open, and the day will be a smoke. In this way, there is no fear of a sneak attack by Wu Bing. ”

I couldn't help but sigh and thought: "This plan is a clever plan, but it has always been a strong one, the so-called clever plan is instantaneous, if it is still, after a long time, the enemy will always come up with a way to crack it." ”

Of course, it is impossible for me to point out this loophole to Ma Liang myself, not because I am afraid that Ma Liang will not understand the method of crossing the river in white clothes to Ma Liang, but because I Wang Fu did it, and I am afraid that it is also the best choice for our side to guard against Soochow, even if I can convince Ma Liang to convince him that the method of building the beacon tower is not safe, I have no other better way to replace it.

Although the process of history has advanced, the plot is still so similar, in fact, I have always had two plans to solve the crisis in Jingzhou, and each plan has its own advantages and disadvantages, which is why I am so hesitant, and I didn't let Shana take people to Maicheng so quickly, and open up a dangerous road to Shuzhong for our entire Jingzhou group.
