The four hundred and thirty-second round
To be honest, Zhuge Liang is playing a trick that will cause trouble. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoBecause Liu Bei needs time at this time, and guiding Sun Quan's gaze elsewhere is to buy time for Liu Bei's next move.
Lu Su is a smart person, and he actually knows what kind of trick Zhuge Liang is playing. But from the perspective of strategic depth, Lu Ren's Yizhou and Huiji are across the sea, and Lu Ren has a naval battle strength that is difficult for them to imagine, so for Sun Wu, Lu Ren is simply a time bomb that may explode at any time, and Sun Wu wants to dismantle this time bomb as soon as possible.
Therefore, Lu Su also agreed with Sun Wu's proposal to KO Lu Ren: "What Mr. Zibu said is very true! And Su thought that the matter of using troops in Yizhou should be as soon as possible, and it was best to take Yizhou in one fell swoop with lightning speed, and kill Lu Ren directly without asking him what he said. And now, it is the best time to use troops against Yizhou. ”
Sun Quan narrowed his eyes: "Zi respects and compares one or two in detail." ”
Lu Su analyzed: "In terms of potential, the relationship between Lu Ren and my Jiangdong is very different from the relationship between Liu Yuzhou and my Jiangdong. Although Liu Yuzhou is currently forcibly occupying the land of Jingzhou, which should belong to my Dongwu, on the bright side, Liu Yuzhou and my Dongwu are allies of the coalition army. At this time, if our Jiangdong and Liu Yuzhou fight each other because of the Jingxiang incident, once this alliance is broken, Cao Pu will inevitably take the opportunity to go south again, and my Jiangdong will also be in danger.
"But Lu Ren and I Jiangdong don't have any alliance on the bright side, and when he fought in Chibi, he also helped Cao Xue on the bright side, so I Jiangdong has no worries about breaking the alliance with Yizhou. Even if Cao Pu knew that my Jiangdong was using troops against Yizhou, he would not have any opportunity to take advantage of.
"Secondly, compared to the time, now Liu Yuzhou forcibly occupied Jingzhou, Gongjin needs to recuperate because of the arrow wound, and can not lead the army to open up the land, and there is still Cao Gui in the north, I Jiangdong really can't have any military disputes with Liu Yuzhou, so it is better to simply sell personal favors to Liu Yuzhou first, and say that the land of Jingxiang will be temporarily lent to Liu Yuzhou to raise troops, so that the alliance between Jiangdong and Liu Yuzhou will show its closeness to the outside world, and Cao Xuan will not dare to act rashly, it is to Jiangbei and Jingchu are safe, I, Jiangdong, can completely free up my hand to deliver a thunderous blow to Yizhou. As for Lu Ren's side, at this time, most of them will be negligent because the county lord once sent an envoy to Yizhou to make peace with my Jiangdong, so if he doesn't attack at this time, when will he wait? ”
Sun Quan nodded again and again when he heard this: "Yes, yes, Zijing's words are so lonely." It's just that the art of war knows that the other side can survive a hundred battles, and my Jiangdong should be a blow to Yizhou, but although Shangxiang is returned from Yizhou, there will be a lot of things that cannot be seen, so I Jiangdong still knows very little about Yizhou today. I don't know what the other side is doing, so I use troops rashly, and it is easy to cause a big disaster! ”
Lu Meng picked up at this time: "This matter is easy to hear! The previous time the county lord went to Yizhou to secretly get along with Yizhou, and the county lord was a woman, so he was afraid that he would not be able to achieve his intentions. The lord can order Lu Ren's senior brother Gu Gong (Gu Yong) to be the envoy, and then go to Yizhou with heavy gifts to show his alliance with Lu Ren. Although Meng is not talented, he is willing to pretend to be an attendant and secretly spy in Yizhou. ”
Sun Quan frowned: "Ziming, do you want to go to Yizhou to spy on the truth of Yizhou?" No, it's too dangerous......"
"I have received great favors from the lord many times, although I will die, I can't repay the lord in case!"
"......" Sun Quan was silent for a long time before he asked very uncertainly: "Ziming, how sure are you?" ”
Lu Meng smiled: "Please be relieved, in fact, Meng's trip to Yizhou is not dangerous, but there are two things that have to be done according to Meng's plan." ”
"Ziming, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
Lu Meng said: "One of them, although the previous lord of the county went to Yizhou to get along with Lu Ren, but at that time, the Cao army pressed the border, and the lord was forced to tie the knot because of the situation. And now that the lord has sent Gu Gong as an envoy, Lu Ren must think that the lord really has the intention of forming a friendship with him and is even more negligent in taking precautions, which will also be of great benefit to the lord to suddenly raise the thunder division. However, the lord must not send envoys in a big way on the surface, because compared to Lu Ren's previous actions, he only secretly helped the lord during the battle of Chibi, but on the surface, he was still currying favor with Cao Gong, and his intention was nothing more than not daring to offend Cao Gong, so as to damage the trade routes in the north.
If the lord openly sent envoys to befriend him, it was easy for him to think that the lord was deliberately severing his dealings with Cao Gong, so as to force him to submit to the lord. Therefore, the matter of the lord's envoy should still be carried out in secret, so that Lu Ren thinks that the lord cares about him and is negligent. Moreover, if the lord pretends to make friends, it is really careless, but if the good thing is shown to the world, the people in the two family leaders will think that the lord has made an alliance with Lu Ren, and when he raises troops, the lord is betraying the alliance, which is not conducive to the prestige of the lord.
"The two, although Gu Gong is loyal and righteous, Gu Gong has the same friendship with Lu Ren after all. If the lord Ming informed Gu Gong of this plan, Gu Gong was loyal and righteous, although he would not say it to Lu Ren, but Gu Gong was loyal and upright, and it was inevitable that he would reveal something in his words and demeanor with Lu Ren. Lu Renneng has been obscure for many years and outsiders don't know it, which shows how treacherous this person is, once he finds out that Gu Gong's expression is different, he will definitely have a sense of vigilance in his heart, and he will lose if he is so tricked. Therefore, although the lord sent Gu Gong as an envoy, he must not tell Gu Gong the truth and the matter of being confused in the attendants. ”
After Lu Meng's plan was finished, Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao, and Lu Su nodded their heads together......
――――――――――――――――――――
In Jiangling City at the other end, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were discussing the map on the table, and at this time, there was already an extra map of Yizhou on this map.
"The lord and forgive Liang bluntly, although the lord is new to the Jingnan counties, but one is that the lord has a shortage of soldiers, and the two sides of the war are not long after, and the people's hearts are still stable, so the lord's current priority is to visit the wise men and talents in Jingxiang and show them great kindness, so as to make the people in Jingxiang stable. When the people's hearts are stabilized, and the lord has the help of these local virtuous people in Jingxiang, it will not be difficult to recruit soldiers and accumulate food. ”
Liu Bei nodded after hearing this, but looking at the large piece of Sun Quan on the map, he couldn't help frowning and said worriedly: "Kong Ming, this Jingzhou was forcibly seized from Sun Wu by our tricks. This is in the Ming Dynasty, Sun Quan will send people to ask for it from time to time; In the dark, Sun Quan will definitely step up his troops, and once a good opportunity appears, they will definitely send troops to capture Jingzhou. Kong Ming, what is your best way to deal with this? ”
Zhuge Liang smiled, and the feather fan shook a few times on Sun Quan's ground: "My lord, rest assured." In fact, after the battle of Chibi, although the Cao thief was defeated and returned to the north, it is still a fact that the Sun and Liu families are weak, if you want to protect yourself, you can only protect this alliance, so that you can protect yourself under the tiger eye of the Cao thief. In addition, in fact, in addition to Cao Thief in the north, there is actually another person who can help the lord contain Sun Quan. ”
Liu Beiqi said: "Is there anyone else who can contain Sun Quan? Sun Quan owns the six counties of Jiangdong, and in addition to Cao Thief, we are the only ones around him who can compete with him, and who else can balance him? ”
Zhuge Liang laughed again, and the handle of the feather fan was a little heavier on the ground in Yizhou: "He can help the lord to contain Sun Quan." ”
Liu Bei said again: "Lu Ren? He is a businessman, although he was given the opportunity to be named the shepherd of the powerful Xinzhou by Cao Thief, but he has no elite soldiers and no unscrupulous generals, how can he contain Sun Quan? ”
Zhuge Liang shook his head: "Everyone in the world doesn't know the truth of Yizhou, so they will think that he Lu Ren is just a useless businessman. But don't forget that Liang has been to Yizhou for half a year. In the past six months of playing, even though Liang can't exhaust the details of Yizhou, Lu Ren can't hide many things from Liang's eyes. ”
After a pause, Zhuge Liang continued: "I remember that in those six months, Liang had a deep feeling for Yizhou. Let's put it this way, Lu Ren may not have the ability to command the army, but his ability to enrich the country and strengthen the people is also deeply embarrassed by Liang Zi. Under his rule, Yizhou's wealth is definitely far beyond what the lord can imagine. In addition, Lu Ren seems to have expected that a battle of life and death between him and Eastern Wu would inevitably be inevitable, so although there were very few battles in the land of Yizhou, its armament and military had never relaxed in the slightest.
"The Yizhou army is small and fine, and the naval warships under its command can be called unparalleled in the world. In terms of generals, the army has Gao Shun to train soldiers and horses for Lu Ren...... The lord should still remember this brave general who once commanded the 700 camps under Lu Wen's tent, right? ”
It's okay not to mention it, Zhuge Liang mentioned Gao Shun, Liu Bei's head was a little big. There is a record of this in historical materials, that is, when Lu Bu attacked Liu Bei's Xiaopei, Liu Bei originally brought thousands of people to the battle, but when he saw that the other party was coming to Gao Shun and the Seven Hundred Trap camp, he threw down these thousands of people without saying a word and turned around and ran.
But seeing Zhuge Liang, he continued: "In addition to Gao Shun, there is also a veteran Huang Zhong in Yizhou. This person was originally a subordinate of Liu Pan, and although he was over sixty years old, he still had the courage to be unstoppable. It's just that Liang doesn't know how Huang Zhong went to Yizhou. The Yizhou land battle has these two generals and elite soldiers, which is already insufficient to attack but more than enough to defend. In terms of naval warfare, the former Jinfan thief Gan Ning Gan Xingba served as the commander of the navy, although he had not yet returned to Yizhou in the unknown sea area during the Battle of Chibi, but Liang expected that it would not be long before Gan Ning would return to Yizhou to preside over the naval defense. With this person in the Battle of Yizhou, coupled with the excellent naval warfare ships in Yizhou, Sun Quan's sailors will not be able to please him either.
"The brave general should be supplemented by a wise man, but the lord must not forget that Yuan Zhi is now under Lu Ren's command. If it is really against Shang Yuanzhi, the victory or defeat between Liang and him is only five or five, so even if Sun Quan sends Zhou Yu to go in person, the victory or defeat is still unpredictable.
