Let's say that Cao Cao's envoy saw Sun Quan, and Cao Cao promised to seal the land south of Jiangnan and Xiangyang. After the pen and the fun and the pavilion www.biquge.info Sun Quan finished reading, he convened the civil and military consultations.

Zhang Zhaojin said: "After Cao Cao was defeated in Hanzhong, although the army returned to Xuchang, but it was exhausted and needed to rest, and it was urgent to relieve the siege of Fancheng. ”

Before Sun Quan could speak, he overlooked the report that Lu Meng had come from Lukou and had something to do. Sun Quan asked him, and Lu Meng said: "Today, Guan Yu's army is in Fancheng, and there are only 6,000 soldiers in Nanjun and Gong'an. ”

Sun Quan's face was cloudy, and he glanced at Zhang Zhao, who had just spoken, and replied: "Now that Runan is empty, Hefei has lost foreign aid, I intend to lead the army to conquer Xuzhou, and correspond to Yunchang, is it better?" ”

Lu Meng said: "Now Cao Yuan is in Xuchang, there is no time to look east, Xuzhou has not many defenders, and it is good to conquer, but its terrain is conducive to land warfare, but our army's advantage is in the navy, even if it is obtained, it is difficult to keep it, it is better to take Jingzhou first, all according to the Yangtze River, the national strength is greatly boosted, and then make a good plan." ”

Zhang Zhao wanted to speak again, but Sun Quan raised his hand, ordered someone to summon Cao Cao's envoy, and said to Lu Meng in front of the envoy: "Now Cao Cao sent Xu Feng Jingzhou to the south of Xiangyang, I also want to take Jingzhou, and I have tolerated it again and again, but thinking of Sun Liu's intention to unite against Cao, now Liu Bei has Hanzhong, not only called the king, but still unwilling to return Xuzhou, since even Zijing, who is the main alliance, has agreed to send troops, there is nothing to be allowed, Qing can go back to Lukou and Zijing to plan for a good life, but there is progress, Lone immediately raised troops to respond! ”

Lu Meng was overjoyed and returned with his order. Sun Quan also repaired the book and sent it to Cao Cao's envoy in return, but Zhang Zhao shook his head and sighed, and said: "Today, one strong and two weak, self-destruction of the covenant, disaster is not far away!" The civil and military forces were all discolored, and Sun Quan was inconvenient because of Zhang Zhao's great popularity, so he could only say: "I have made up my mind, no need to say more!" After that, he brushed his sleeves away, and since then Zhang Zhao has closed the door to thank the guests, saying that he is not sick.

When Lü Meng returned to Lukou, he began to work out a plan with Lu Su on how to attack Nanjun. At this time, Lu Subing was no longer in the way, although he was a little hesitant to recall Zhuge Song's divination words before, but he did not hesitate at all in the face of national affairs, but he decided that this action was just a co-ordination, not to leave Lukou, and the matter of attacking Nanjun was to be decided, and full power could be handed over to Lu Meng, and Lu Meng could also be increased through this battle, so that he could be entrusted behind him.

Due to the small number of soldiers in Nanjun, judging from the current situation that 30,000 elite soldiers can be assembled in a short period of time at Lukou, as long as a surprise attack is taken, it should be able to be taken in one go. It's just that Zhuge Song's previous beacon tower built along the river is quite tricky, and through the spies for many days, that area will be along the river every night, without capturing the defenders of the beacon tower first, once the defenders find the ignition, can not achieve the effect of raiding Nanjun, Guan Yu is likely to quickly return to help, resulting in a failure.

Of course, the reason why Lu Meng dared to go to Sun Quan to face the army was that he and Lu Su had already had a preliminary plan for how to crack the beacon tower. On the second day after returning to Lukou, Lü Meng personally led a thousand elite soldiers as the pioneer, ambushed all the elite soldiers in the cabin, and the shipwrights who rocked and sailed on the deck all wore ordinary clothes instead of armor, disguised themselves as merchants, and marched along the Yangtze River to Jiangling. He stopped for the night in front of the first beacon tower, contacted the officers led here as merchants, pretended to be in a hurry, bribed the defenders with a lot of money, and sent wine and meat, and took the opportunity to sweep the defenders through here. The old trick was repeated in the next place, and no one was missed until the last beacon.

However, just when Lu Meng's army was ready and he wanted to continue to attack the public security before dawn, he suddenly found that in addition to his own warship, there was also a small boat parked in the center of the river. Interrogation of the defender generals here, it turned out that the general was only an adjutant, the main general here is named Jiang Xiaoyu, the water is very good, but he only likes to sleep on the river, usually just patrols the river during the day, and returns to the small boat in the center of the river to spend the night every time he arrives.

When Lü Meng hurriedly sent people to arrest him, the ship was already empty. Lu Meng secretly said that it was not good, but thinking that even if this person escaped smartly, he was eager and had no horses, and it would be difficult to report the news quickly, so he hurriedly urged the army to advance quickly, in order to attack Jiangling as soon as possible.

How Lü Meng urged the army to advance into Jiangling will not be mentioned for the time being. It is said that when Zhuge Song suddenly did not receive a letter from Nanjun for a day, he finally knew that he should have come or come.

Zhuge Song instructed Guan Ping to guard the camp here, and on the other hand, he got on his horse and rushed to Guan Yu's camp. Just as Guan Yu had just commanded the end of the first round of attacks on Fancheng, he saw Zhuge Song rushing over with an anxious look on his face, and thought that something had happened in Tuanshan Town.

Unexpectedly, Zhuge Song's first sentence when he saw him was: "Dongwu has sent troops, Junhou!" ”

Guan Yu's eyebrows furrowed, and he was quite dissatisfied: "I had already ordered it when I ordered someone to build the beacon tower that day, but when I saw the Wu army coming, I raised a fire at night and smoked at night, and there were two generals Mi Fang and Dr. Ren guarding Jiangling and public security, even if Wu Bing was really there, why didn't I, as a general, receive the news, but you know it first!" ”

Zhuge Song said: "At the beginning, I was ordered by the general to take 5,000 people to build a beacon tower, dozens of places along the river, each garrison of more than 100 people, regardless of the convenience of the merchants at night, even if the Wu army has 100,000, it cannot be stolen. But later the general ordered Guan Ping to come with the order to transfer troops, Song to the overall situation as the weight of the order to come, the people left along the river are only five hundred, each beacon tower soldiers only twenty or thirty people left, the end of the general when he first left, may still be able to be loyal to his duties, but now that the time has passed, the soldiers are inevitably slack, Dongwu covets the other half of Jingzhou day and night, although there is a barrage of the river, thinking about it day and night, it is inevitable that it will be broken by Dongwu to come up with a strategy! ”

"You haven't answered my question yet, why didn't General Ben know that Eastern Wu was coming, and you were far away in Tuanshan, but you knew before me?" Zhuge Song said a lot, but Guan Yu was still entangled in this kind of prophetic and later knowledge.

Zhuge Song took a breath and patiently explained: "There is a subordinate named Jiang Xiaoyu in the last general, when I left the river to listen to the tune, I secretly instructed him to send a messenger to send me a letter with no words on it every morning. Because I expected that if the Wu army wanted to smuggle out, it would be late at night, and I didn't receive any more letters today, thinking that there was already a situation over there, so I asked the prince to return to the army immediately! ”

"In other words, your subordinates have probably been captured alive, it's rare that he is so loyal! Otherwise, if Dongwu can learn the reason from his mouth, and still send a blank piece of paper, you and I will still be kept in the dark! At this time, Guan Yu already believed most of the matter of Dongwu's troops, and couldn't help but sigh for Jiang Xiaoyu.

"Faithful?" Zhuge Song thought that although he had the grace of knowing Jiang Xiaoyu, he didn't get along with Zheng Liang like he could, so he didn't hide it when he thought of this, and continued to say to Guan Yu: "No matter how loyal a person is on the outside, it is really difficult to guarantee that he will be reliable, just like Yu Ban, Rong Ma has followed Cao Cao for nearly thirty years in his life, but in the end, in order to survive, he still chose to betray. Although Jiang Xiaoyu and I get along well, but the stakes are very high, I don't dare to put the treasure on him alone, before leaving, in addition to the letter, I also told him to like to sleep on the river as the reason, every night to leave a small boat to sleep in the center of the river, but after the person who sent him on the boat left, secretly jumped down the river to find another place to sleep on the shore, slept until dawn and then secretly went back, it was hard for him! ”

"I see!" Guan Yu looked at Zhuge Song's gaze a little differently. But he didn't speak anymore, just stroked his long beard and fell into deep thought.

"Don't think about it, prince! Soochow has coveted Jingzhou for a long time, and since he has sent troops, he will definitely do his best! Jiangling and the public security are difficult to resist with few soldiers, please abandon Fancheng as soon as possible to help! If Gangneung is lost, our army will be lost and in a desperate situation! Zhuge Song knew that it was still difficult for Guan Yu to give up the good situation that Fancheng was about to break, and seeing Guan Yu pondering, he hurriedly spoke.

"Hahahaha!" Who knew that Zhuge Song didn't say anything, Guan Yu, who was still contemplative when he entered the words, suddenly relaxed, and said with a smile: "Song'er, you don't have to be nervous, although there is indeed a possibility that Dongwu betrays the alliance in this matter, but it is also possible that your subordinates were tired from being tossed by you for days, and forgot to send a letter after sleeping for a long time, and now Fancheng City is about to be broken, if the army withdraws, giving Cao Ren a chance to breathe, and then want to break through Fancheng, it will take a lot more time!" ”

"What if it really happened that Dongwu crossed the river?" Zhuge Song saw that Guan Yu was still lucky at this time, and his tone became even more eager.

"What if not? You just let me withdraw my troops for nothing! Guan Yu listened to Zhuge Song's excited tone, and suddenly remembered that Zhuge Song and Wang Fu had advised him to build beacon towers along the river before, and his strong self-esteem made him a little annoyed, so he simply said: "In this way, I will send someone back to Jiangling to inquire about the situation first." Although the two cities of Jiangling and Gong'an have few soldiers, they are guarded by two generals, Mi Fang and Bo Ren, and even if Dongwu comes to attack, it will not be able to conquer it for a while. If the report really confirms that the Eastern Wu is coming, it will not be too late for me to withdraw my troops and come back to help! ”

Zhuge Song knew that Guan Yu suddenly turned over the old accounts in his heart, and he still persuaded him to retreat, until Guan Yu was full of anger and ordered someone to forcibly bomb him out of the tent, Zhuge Song knew that he couldn't do anything, so he had to come out in embarrassment.

Back in his army, Zhuge Song called Guan Ping again to discuss. Guan Ping was also taken aback when he heard it at first, but after hearing it, he finally understood what Guan Yu was thinking better than Zhuge Song, so he was relieved, but he refused to go to Guan Yu to persuade Zhuge Song again, just said something innocuous and innocuous .

Zhuge Song knew that the situation was extremely critical at this time, and his own soldiers had already been transferred to Zheng Liang for use, so he immediately told Guan Ping that he had to go back to Nanjun to have a look, and asked him to temporarily act as the chief general here.

Guan Ping persuaded Zhuge Song to endure for a few more days, but Zhuge Song was willing to listen, and finally only took a few horses to Nanjun and left. Guan Ping had no choice but to order someone to go to Guan Yu's camp to report the matter, Guan Yu was furious, but the person had already gone away, and he could only think that the next time he saw him, he would be severely punished to extinguish the prestige of this arrogant scholar.
