Chapter 383: Two Paths
After Lu Su learned of this, he was already aware of the extraordinary nature of this matter, so he hurriedly invited Zhou Yu to his hall and told Zhou Yu about it.
Needless to say, most of the disappearance of the sergeant at the junction with Jiangxia was also done by the defenders in Jiangxia, and at this time, Zhou Yu's camp had just been set up here for a short time, even if Sun Quan and Cao Zhi intended to blame Zhuge Liang for this matter, they would never have done it so quickly on the enemy's territory.
After hearing this, Zhou Yu pondered for a while, and then looked at Lu Su and asked with some solemnity: "Zijing originally thought in his heart, how much credit has been made in this Jiangdong matter to be considered complete?" ”
Lu Su was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and he didn't know why Zhou Yu suddenly asked about it, but he still replied with a wry smile: "Gong Jin naturally knows me very well, and no fault is a great achievement, if you can take advantage of the war between Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan to take some counties in Jiangdong, it will be regarded as a great credit, since the lord has left this matter to me to deal with, I don't want to borrow my hand to take all the land of Jiangdong." ”
Obviously, Lu Su still has a very clear understanding of his ability, and he knows that he may not be able to take advantage of Lu Meng and Lu Xun even if he deals with Lu Meng and Lu Xun, and with a far-sighted Zhuge Liang, he probably can't have any great merit.
Zhou Yu knew that the biggest reason why Lu Su was so timid was that the main force of Jingzhou was only these naval armies, and there were almost no other troops except for the sergeants who were defending the city in the major towns, and like Xiangyang, Jiangling and other important towns, Wei was also keeping an eye on the guards in the city at all times, so it must not risk mobilizing the defenders in these cities to attack Jiangdong.
In addition to giving Lu Su the so-called right to act cheaply, Liu Feng did not send any generals to help Lu Su, which made Lu Su's actual mobilization of troops compared to Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan have no advantage at all, so it is no wonder that Lu Su does not have the confidence to make great achievements, after all, resources and wisdom are all limited, and he is powerless.
"In this case, this matter is easy to solve, the disappearance of our sergeant must have been done by the Jiangxia defenders, so far the battle of Jiangdong has fallen into a critical period, Zhuge Liang is so provocative to our army, it seems to be the next step, but in fact, it is not......"
After listening to Lu Su's unambitious words, Zhou Yu directly closed the coffin of the matter, and between the words, as if the matter was not a major issue, which made Lu Su not know what to say.
"Is this really Zhuge Liang's doing?" Lu Su, who had dealt with Zhuge Liang many times, still couldn't believe that Zhuge Liang would do such a thing at this time, he really couldn't think of what good it would do to Zhuge Liang once he angered himself in Jingzhou.
"Zijing should not be entangled in this, the key to this matter is to see why Zhuge Liang acted like this, Jiangxia, as an important town in Jingzhou, is the last unconquered place of our army, and it is surrounded by our army, Sun Quan and Cao Zhi, although Zhang Fei is guarding here, but he really should not cause trouble at will......"
"That's right, since I arrived in Jingzhou, although there are not many sergeants around Jiangxia, but Jiangxia's soldiers have always been conscientious in their duties, never daring to cross the thunder pool half a step, so as to ensure Jiangxia's tranquility, and now Zhuge Liang has transferred Liu Chan, who has always been regarded as the lord, to Jiangxia, so this matter is even more strange."
Before Lu Su could finish speaking, he shook his head and said his rebuttal, this matter was provoked by Zhuge Liang, and he didn't believe it after all.
Zhou Yu saw that Lu Su's thoughts were still quite stubborn, and he shook his head and asked again: "Zijing thinks that if the land of Jiangxia and the entire Jiangdong are placed in front of Zijing, how should they choose?" ”
Lu Su frowned when he heard this, and subconsciously replied: "Naturally, I chose the whole territory of Jiangdong, although the land of Jiangxia is good, but it is the place where the enemy is ...... back."
"In this matter, Zhuge Liang and Zijing's thoughts are the same, so there is this provocation." Zhou Yu saw that Lu Su's answer was not slow, and he couldn't help but say with a smile on his face.
"Zhuge Liang thinks the same as me? This ......" Lu Su thought at first that Zhou Yu was making fun of him, but after thinking about it, he finally found out what Zhou Yu wanted to express, so he stopped speaking at the moment, but pondered.
After a long time, Lu Su's face finally showed a hint of joy, he stood up directly, and said in front of Zhou Yu: "Isn't it that Zhuge Liang already has a plan in his heart on how to attack the land of Sun Quan Poyang and Wu County, but he is afraid that we will be in trouble at this time, so Zhang Fei harassed us in Jiangxia, and wanted to attract our attention to the land of Jiangxia, once we launched an offensive against Jiangxia, Zhuge Liang would take advantage of the lack of mobile troops in Jingzhou at this time, and at the same time launch an offensive with Sun Quan to seize the entire territory of Jiangdong?" ”
After saying his thoughts in one go, Lu Su found that Zhou Yu's slight bowing movement had already shown that his guess was correct, he couldn't help but sigh, and said to himself: "Once this move fails, Zhuge Liang will be a chicken-and-egg game, who gave him such courage to dare to use a heavy place like Jiangxia as a bait, just so that we don't get involved in the battle situation in Jiangdong." ”
Lu Su asked himself if it was him, he would never think of such a risky but definitely effective strategy, for Zhuge Liang, Lu Su couldn't help but secretly admire it again.
"If not, how can he afford the name of Wolong, Zijing doesn't care how huge the risk Zhuge Liang has to bear, in fact, the initiative in this matter is still in our hands, Zijing only needs to tell me, whether he wants to fight for the land in Jiangdong with all his might, or safely pocket the Jiangxia that Zhuge Liang gave to us for nothing, and then make plans."
Obviously, there are two roads in front of Lu Su and Zhou Yu now, Jingzhou's troops are not very sufficient, Zhuge Liang naturally knows, he did this, it is to show Lu Su that he knows the weakness of Jingzhou, if Lu Su takes this as an opportunity to launch a war against Jiangxia, Zhang Fei will probably give up Jiangxia and enter Jiangdong after resisting for a while, after the battle situation in Jiangdong is clear, in this way, almost all the entire territory of Jingzhou fell into the hands of Liu Feng, and Lu Su's cheap action is not a small credit.
If Lu Su doesn't care about this matter and insists on participating in the battle of Jiangdong, then what kind of strategy Zhuge Liang will use, naturally it is unknown, and if he does this, the risky one will become Lu Su, Zhuge Liang's bait is not small.
