Chapter 781: The Fish Takes the Bait
Three days later, Sun Jian's father and son's injuries were almost healed, and the army marched out again, from Jingzhou Jiangxia, all the way to the east, preparing to capture Yangzhou in one fell swoop.
In the past three days, Sun Quan has been waiting for news from Deng Zhan, but what disappointed him is that since he met Deng Zhan that day, Deng Zhan seems to have evaporated from the world and disappeared completely!
But Sun Quan has no choice, whether Deng Zhan appears or not depends entirely on his own mood, and on Sun Quan's side, there is no one who can compete with his strength, so he wants to find Deng Zhan? Isn't that wishful thinking?
So where is Deng Zhan at this time?
That day, after the assassination failed, Deng Zhan's heart was quite depressed, Sun Jian had already been saved, he wouldn't lie to Sun Quan now, right?
However, what puzzled him was that among the three senior brothers, his qualifications were the best, but in his opinion, it was not easy to break through to this realm, even with his qualifications, he also relied on external forces and the medicine given by his lord, otherwise, how could he be willing to surrender to the master of such a projectile land?
However, what I never expected was that Wang Yue, the one with the worst qualifications among the three senior brothers, also broke through, and because Wang Yue was more diligent than him, decades of hard training made Wang Yue faintly stronger than him!
What is going on, and how did Wang Yue do it?
If he could know about this matter and know the secret that Wang Yue had broken through, Deng Zhan could really do anything!
But what can Deng do now? In desperation, Deng Zhan had no choice but to leave, he had an arrogant personality, once the mission failed, he would definitely not do it for the second time!
"Forget it, when you should know, you will always know!" Deng Zhan sighed helplessly, then left Jingzhou and went all the way south.
Sun Quan was waiting for news, but what he was waiting for was the news that Sun Jian led his troops to attack Lujiang. The defender of Lujiang is Ding Feng, because of Sun Jian's appearance, some old soldiers in Liaodong have surrendered to the enemy, and the nearly 200,000 defenders in Lujiang have 50,000 to surrender!
Therefore, in desperation, Ding Feng had no choice but to ask for help, he knew that he could deal with 200,000 soldiers, but if it was 150,000...... That's a bit of a struggle!
After receiving Ding Feng's request for help, Sun Quan suddenly felt helpless, and sure enough, his father's majesty in Jiangdong still exists! Even if my father has been away from Koto for five or six years! Even if he has changed the generals of Jiangdong beyond recognition! That doesn't hinder my father's status in the hearts of Jiangdong soldiers!
"Hey!" Sun Quan sighed a little helplessly, suddenly, he had a thought of wanting to surrender, but if he wanted him to surrender, he was really unwilling! Jiangdong, which has worked hard for so many years, wants to change hands like this? Really......
So, Sun Quan shook his head and left all those bad emotions behind!
"Order Xu Sheng, order him to lead 100,000 soldiers and horses to Lujiang to aid Ding Feng!" Sun Quan ordered.
Xu Sheng, who received Sun Quan's order to garrison Poyang, immediately raised troops and rushed towards Lujiang in the starry night.
……
"Lord Qiqi, Poyang guard general Xu Sheng, led 100,000 soldiers and horses to rush towards the Lujiang River!" Wang Yue reported to Zhao Feng.
"Yo! The fish has taken the bait! Zhao Feng chuckled and looked at Zhuge Liang.
"Well, my lord, you can pass the order to Meng Qi!" Zhuge Liang nodded, and also smiled slightly.
In fact, if you want to capture the city of Lujiang, it is simply too simple for Zhao Feng! After all, those who followed Zhao Feng came, catapults, and explosives bags were all there, if they were bombarded indiscriminately, wouldn't they be able to open the door of this Lujiang River in minutes?
But Zhao Feng didn't do this, he just asked Sun Jian to call the battle every day, and feint to attack Lujiang City every day, just to make Sun Quan make a decision in a hurry due to chaos, and it was a decision that had to be made - rescue!
Unless Sun Quan is ruthless, he wants to give up these more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, as well as Ding Feng, a general!
Sure enough, as Zhao Feng and Zhuge Liang expected, Sun Quan really took the bait, and sure enough, he sent Xu Sheng to lead 100,000 soldiers and horses to the rescue!
In this way, Ma Chao, who has been waiting for an ambush, can really go to the ambush!
"Master Wang, give Meng Qi an order and let him go to the ambush!" Zhao Feng commanded.
"Yes!" After Wang Yue answered, he turned around and left.
"Kong Ming, you say, will we encounter any problems in this battle?" Zhao Feng frowned slightly and stared into the distance.
Since the expedition, Zhao Feng has always had an ominous premonition in his heart, but he doesn't know why, so he asked such a question.
"This ......" Zhuge Liang seemed to have insight into Zhao Feng's thoughts, but he didn't know how to reply, so he could only comfort: "Don't worry, my army is so much stronger than the Jiangdong army, there will be no problems, not to mention, our army still has Sun Jian, and there will be no problems!" ”
"I hope so!" Zhao Feng sighed and stopped talking.
Zhuge Liang also stood silently behind Zhao Feng and didn't say anything more.
……
Cao Cao's side is still recuperating on his own.
"Zhongda, you said that if Zhao Feng captures Jiangdong in this battle and his power increases again, do we still have a chance?" Cao Cao asked Sima Yi beside him.
"This ......" Sima Yi sighed and didn't answer anything, because anyone with a discerning eye could see that now Zhao Feng was in full swing, and his power was too great to speak. In comparison, Cao Cao's power may be insignificant!
"Hey!" Cao Cao naturally knew what Sima Yi meant, sighed, and shook his head.
In fact, he also knew in his heart that in the face of Zhao Feng, he basically had no chance of winning, and wanting to defeat Zhao Feng was tantamount to ascending to the sky. But he has no regrets, and even if he is defeated, he has nothing to regret.
Cao Cao in this life, the mentality is much better than in history, in this life, Cao Cao's heart is completely for the country and the people, as long as his people live a good life, there is nothing he can't do!
"Zhongda, you have an idea, do you think this is feasible?" Cao Cao said suddenly.
"I want to hear about it!" Sima Yi was slightly stunned, not knowing what Cao Cao meant by this.
"In this way, the plan ......" Cao Cao carefully said his plan.
"This !!" Listening to Cao Cao's words, Sima Yi was stunned, how could Cao Cao make such a decision? This...... Isn't that incredible?
Looking at Sima Yi's shocked expression, Cao Cao laughed, and then walked back to the house, making this decision, but Cao Cao felt extremely relaxed.
