Jiangxia, Xiakou, Lu Bu stood on the bank of the river, using a clairvoyant mirror to look at the boats cruising back and forth on the river, behind him, Wen Ping knelt on the ground with a ashamed face, and said hoarsely: "The last general is incompetent, please punish the king of Jin!" ”

Not long ago, in order to open up the passage for Lu Bu to go south, Wen Ping led the former Jingzhou Navy Division, wanting to cross the river at night and break through Chaisang, as long as Jiangxia and Chaisang were in hand, Lu Bu's army could cross the Yangtze River, avoid the shortcomings of the navy, and directly fight a land battle with Liu Bei and Jiangdong. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Originally, with Wenpin's ability, Liu Bei would never have an advantage on the water, otherwise Chen Zhi would not have been pressed and beaten by Lu Meng on the water, but Zhou Tai's water army suddenly appeared, which disrupted Wenpin's deployment, and after a melee with Zhou Tai on the water, he was finally defeated and had no choice but to retreat.

"You can't blame you for this." Lu Bu retracted the clairvoyant mirror, turned his head to look at Wen Ping, and said with a smile: "Zhongye has not governed the army for ten years, and it is inevitable that he will be rusty in the battle array. ”

As for Ling Cao, psychologically he was still unwilling to fight against the Jiangdong Sun clan, this is also human nature, Lu Bu did not blame, sitting on the chair brought by the two hussar guards, Lu Bu tapped the armrest with his fingers: "Jingzhou's warship is worse after all, let's wait for the arrival of Xingba's Henghai Division, and then discuss crossing the river." ”

Water warfare, he is not very familiar with, let alone proficient, if he forcibly crosses the river, if the Jiangdong sailors attack, Lu Bu really can't deal with it, this water war is a technical job, not a lot of people will work, and with the width of the Yangtze River, blocking the river is also a joke.

"My lord, the last general has remembered something." Behind Lu Bu, Wei Yan groped his chin and said.

"Oh?" Lu Bu turned his head and looked at Wei Yan.

"In the past, when General Gao Shun confronted the Yellow River with Yuan Shao's general Zhang He, in order to cross the river, hundreds of ships were connected together with iron cables and wooden planks, forcibly crossed the river, and landed on the north bank in one fell swoop. Wei Yan said with a smile.

"Iron Locks?" Lu Bu raised his eyebrows, looked at Wei Yan, thought about it, and finally shook his head and said, "This method has too many drawbacks, what if the enemy attacks with fire?" ”

"Now that the wind is blowing, even if the enemy attacks with fire, our army will have enough time to disassemble the planks, and if the enemy attacks with fire, I am afraid that it will be them who will burn themselves." Wei Yan said with a smile.

Indeed, in history, in the battle of Chibi, the iron lock boat is only one of the links, if there is no Huang Gai's bitter meat plan, it is impossible to win a big victory, and his eyes can't help but look at Jia Xu.

But seeing Jia Xu shook his head gently, obviously not in favor of this method, with Lu Bu's current military situation, there is no need to take risks at all, although the Jiangdong Navy can defeat the Jingzhou Navy on the river, but it can't beat it at all, a little closer, the bow and arrow of the Shooting Battalion are not vegetarian.

"Wen Chang, this is the last battle, we have an absolute chance of winning, we can't risk the lives of the soldiers, we can afford to wait!" Seeing this, Lu Bu shook his head and looked at Wei Yandao.

"Whoa!" When Wei Yan heard this, he had to nod, and Wen Ping stood aside with a little shame on his face.

"My lord, the minister has a plan, but he can break the Sun-Liu Alliance!" Jia Xu stood up and smiled.

"Oh?" Lu Bu looked at Jia Xu and said with a smile: "Wen He has any clever plan, tell me quickly." ”

"Liu Bei now, although he has 80,000 soldiers and horses, most of these soldiers and horses are from the land of Jingxiang, and the lord can find some family members of the Jingzhou army to send a letter to Liu Bei's military camp." Jia Xu smiled.

"I know!" Wei Yan said excitedly: "Tell them to make trouble, cholera army heart!" Or find a way to escape to Jingzhou. ”

Lu Bu looked at Jia Xu, if it was just these, there was no need to do it deliberately, the more time passed, the more dispersed Liu Bei's military spirit became, the family and the country were all over the world, how many people in this world could really ignore their families? Willing to leave home.

Jia Xu smiled and shook his head and said: "First, the lord can order those family members to send letters to the army, as long as they can bring a head of the Jiangdong Army, not only can they be exempted from their crimes, but they can also get official rewards, the more heads, the more generous the reward, if you can bring the heads of the other party's generals, you can even add officials to the knighthood." ”

"Wonderful!" Lu Bu clapped his hands, in this way, even if Sun Quan is willing to join forces with Liu Bei, but the soldiers below have been killed, I am afraid that the contradictions between the two sides that have not been erased will start from the grassroots level and be intensified step by step, and the most important thing is that the trust of the soldiers on both sides will be completely lost.

"Strategist, you're really poisonous!" Wei Yan, Hao Zhao, Xu Sheng, and Pang De looked at Jia Xu with deep horror, and put themselves in their shoes, what should they do if they stood in the position of the other party's generals? But after thinking about it for a long time, there is no solution at all, Jia Xu's strategy has always been based on the depths of human nature, it may not be subtle, but it can definitely hit the nail on the head, unless Liu Bei can take it back from Lu Bu's hands now, but is that possible?

"Huh?" Lu Bu glanced at a few people, shook his head, looked at Jia Xu and said, "Then leave this matter to Wenhe, and if necessary, let some family members come over." ”

"Whoa!" When Jia Xu heard this, he nodded with a smile, turned his head to look at Wen Ping, and said, "Zhongye, the defense of the water village will be handed over to you." ”

"The last general commands!" Wen hired a salute, he couldn't beat Zhou Tai on the water, but if it was just defense, he Zhou Tai wouldn't want to come in.

After returning to the Jiangxia camp, Lu Bu sent a team of hussar guards to protect Jia Xu's safety, Jia Xu left in a hurry with people, preparing to implement the plan and select candidates, in addition to the families of Liu Beijun on the opposite side, naturally there will be a large number of spies to follow in, although Lu Bu also arranged secret agents in Jiangdong, but most of those are nightingales who are responsible for collecting intelligence, and this time, there are also eagles who are mixed in.

A few days later, Zhou Tai was inspecting the river, and suddenly received a report that a large number of Jingzhou people had crossed the river overnight, as if they were going to Liu Bei's military camp opposite to join their relatives.

During the war, martial law on the river, the people generally do not risk crossing the river, but this time, there are too many people, there are thousands of people, scattered on the river, Zhou Tai is not easy to defend, stopped some people, but there are still many ships from other places to land, after all, the Yangtze River is so long, if it is an army, it is natural to choose some ferries, but only scattered people, there are too many choices, as long as the shore, there is always a way to go up.

Liu Bei is very painful these days, the army's heart is scattered, since before the New Year last year, Wei Yan led the army to capture Jingzhou with lightning speed, the military spirit on his side began to be chaotic, almost every day there are deserters, although Liu Bei made a timely countermeasure, but more than three months later, the former 80,000 army, now there are only more than 60,000 left, non-combat attrition makes Liu Bei desperate to find new forces to join.

It's a pity that Jiangdong is sparsely populated, and the people of Yuzhang have a strong sense of belonging to the Sun family, and for these outsiders, the rejection psychology is very strong, Liu Bei is in Jiangdong, and he can't stand firm at all, even if Zhuge Liang is facing such a situation, he can't return to the sky.

"My lord." Kou Feng came in from outside the tent and bowed his hand to Liu Bei: "There are suddenly a lot of people who have escaped from Jingzhou in the camp, and the military advisor feels that something is wrong, please come over." ”

"The people of Jingzhou?" Liu Bei frowned, stood up, and quickly ran towards the school with Kou Feng.

When I came to the school grounds, it was already a mess.

"I want to go back, I don't fight, I want to go back! My mother is still at home waiting for me to return, I can't fight anymore, if I fight again, my life will be gone! Although a small number of soldiers' families came over, it was gratifying to reunite with their families, but for other soldiers, watching other people's families reunite, they were lonely, and their families were still in Jingzhou, which inspired more soldiers to feel homesick, and the entire camp was filled with the voices of soldiers wanting to go home, even Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Huang Zhong could not stop them.

"Lord, something is wrong!" Zhuge Liang was a lot haggard at the moment, and when he saw Liu Bei coming, he hurriedly pulled Liu Bei and said with a wry smile: "Lu Bu is too hateful, and he can't cross the river head-on, so he made this decision, and this military heart is afraid that it will be chaotic." ”

Liu Bei glanced at it, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and said bitterly: "Our army has been fighting in the past two years, and the army is already tired, and now with the fall of Jingzhou, how can this be good?" ”

Zhuge Liang couldn't help but be silent when he heard this, he had a way to do other things, whether it was money or food, or territory, but only this military heart, once it was chaotic, he couldn't do anything, and at present, these Jingzhou troops were Liu Bei's last reliance, and they must not be lost, and the top priority was to try to appease them.

Liu Bei and a group of generals were in a hurry, and finally the general's heart was temporarily calmed, but everyone's hearts were heavy.

Zhuge Liang stood at the gate of the camp, looking at the starry sky, his face was heavy, and he did not feel relaxed because the military spirit was appeased, because he faintly felt that these family members were released at this time, it must be more than just a mess of the army's heart, otherwise how could it be so coincidental, all the families of the soldiers came? Although Lu Bu's army has not yet come, Lu Bu's invisible tentacles have already extended to Liu Bei's military camp with these released people, and he, as Liu Bei's military advisor, has no way at the moment, he doesn't even know what the other party has in mind.

"Strategist, something is not good!" Just as Zhuge Liang was looking at the sky and sighing, Huang Zhong suddenly hurried over with a detachment of men.

Zhuge Liang reluctantly showed a smile: "General Hansheng has something to do?" ”

"Just now, my soldiers came to report, and those family members brought a news that if anyone in our army can bring back the head of a Jiangdong soldier, not only can they be exempted from punishment, but they can also get a reward from the Jin Palace." Huang Zhong said in a deep voice.

A chill rushed up from Zhuge Liang's back and quickly spread to his whole body, Zhuge Liang's face suddenly turned pale and looked at Huang Zhong, his lips trembled a few times, and he suddenly said sharply: "Immediately the whole army is under martial law, and no one is allowed to leave the camp without permission, including those people!" ”
