When Lu Fan saw that Yu Fan had agreed to submit to Liu Qi like this, he sighed secretly in his heart, and at the same time deeply despised Yu Tuo's personality. He knew that since Yu had surrendered, it had become meaningless for him to stay here, so he said goodbye to Liu Qi: "Since Yu Zhongxiang has defected. It is no longer interesting for the last general to stay here, and the last general is ready to say goodbye to the general now, leave Nanchang, and ask the general for permission. ”

Unexpectedly, Liu Qi laughed and said: "Lu Ziheng, how far is your current lord Sun Ce's army from Chaisang City?" ”

Liu Qi asked very abruptly, and Lu Fan replied instinctively: "There are probably three ....... left."

Immediately, Lu Fan came back to his senses, and then covered up: "What does the general's sentence mean?" How can the last general not understand? ”

"Hey, hey. Lu Fan, you don't have to pretend to be confused, Mr. Xu has already seen through Zhou Gongjin's plan. Liu Qi just glanced at Lu Fan, and said with a light smile: "You want to use the negotiation with me to paralyze the general, and then lead the army to attack our army's important place Chaisang, so as to cut off the connection between our army and Jiangxia, I don't know if what the general said is right?" ”

"What? Unexpectedly, this Liu Qi really saw through Gong Jin's plan, and also knew Gong Jin's name, it seems that he is really a difficult opponent, I should return immediately and inform the lord of the news. ”

Lu Fan was shocked in his heart, but he was still calm on the surface, and slowly shook his head and said, "The last general doesn't know what the general is talking about?" The last general is gone, General, and I hope we have a chance to meet again. ”

After Lu Fan finished speaking, he said goodbye to Liu Qi and prepared to leave Nanchang City immediately, reporting to Sun Ce the news that the other party had seen through his plan, but when he saw Liu Qi, he smiled and said, "Why is Ziheng in a hurry to leave? It's better to stay in my Nanchang for a few days, so that the official can do his best to be a landlord. ”

After Liu Qi finished speaking, he waved his hand, and saw that several strong soldiers immediately surrounded him, blocking Lu Fan's way and "invited" Lu Fan to the guest room where he lived before.

"Damn, this Liu Qi is so arrogant and forcibly left me in Nanchang, which is really infuriating." Lu Fan scolded a few words angrily, but still sighed helplessly, after all, he is now under house arrest by the other party, and it is really difficult to escape, it seems that he can only hope that the lord will do his best to defeat Liu Qi and save himself.

"But since Liu Qi has seen through Gong Jin's plan, how can he not take precautions? If they do what they do, and instead set an ambush for us, will not the Lord be in danger? ”

Thinking of this, Lu Fan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, like an ant on a hot pot, and he couldn't wait to escape from Nanchang City immediately and tell Sun Ce the news that Liu Qi had prepared.

However, Liu Qi's personal soldiers took turns to monitor his every move, so that he could not have any chance to escape at all, which made Lu Fan a little desperate.

In the end, Lu Fan, who really had no choice, had no choice but to take the risk, and after the lights went out, under the cover of night, he carved on a piece of wooden tablets that had already been prepared, "Liu Qi knows the plan of the lord, the situation has changed, please change the plan quickly." A few small words, I gave it to the only entourage I left here, and explained a few words to him, ordering him to dig tunnels at night and be sure to send the news to the lord Sun Ce as soon as possible.

Three days later, the tunnel had been dug, and Lu Fan solemnly explained a few words to his entourage, and then ordered him to leave the place immediately.

The entourage was very loyal, and offered to stay and let Lu Fan take the opportunity to escape, but unexpectedly, Lu Fan said softly: "No need, I can take the opportunity to paralyze Liu Qi by staying here this time, so that he thinks that our army is five times larger, which is conducive to the victory of our army." ”

The attendant admired Lu Fan's heroic dedication, so he had to solemnly say to Lu Fan to take care, and then said goodbye to his master in tears, fled outside the palace through the guò tunnel, and then quietly left under the cover of night.

The attendant thought that he had done a seamless job, but he did not realize that he had already attracted the attention of the guards outside the door as early as the first day he was digging the tunnel.

Because they always saw that the attendant was sleeping in the daytime, and his shoes were always stained with some new soil, they had already expected that this person was secretly digging tunnels in the house, so they immediately reported their inferences to Liu Shi, the central protector, and Liu Shi did not dare to slack off, and immediately reported the news to Liu Qi.

After Liu Qi learned the news, he immediately ordered people to install eyeliner inside and outside the city, but he promised that not even a single fly could fly out of Nanchang City.

So as soon as the attendant walked out of the tunnel, he was immediately targeted, and they quickly caught the attendant, but after some searching, they found that there was nothing suspicious, so they released him half a day later.

The entourage was very happy in his heart, and at the same time secretly laughed at the stupidity of the other soldier, because the wooden tablet was hidden in the mezzanine of the robe sleeves, and the soldiers didn't even find it, so after receiving the order of the other party to let him go, he quickly left Nanchang City, seized a carriage in a wealthy family, and quickly went in the direction of Chaisang.

But the entourage never knew that those who were ordered to inspect were Liu Qi's own soldiers, and almost instantly judged that the sleeves of his robe were abnormal, but they did not startle the snake, but took the robe outside on the grounds of bad light, quickly dismantled the sleeves of the robe, and saw the wooden tablets inside.

At this time, Wang Cang, who was in charge of this matter, was already waiting here, and after he saw the wooden tablet, he did not hesitate to destroy the wooden tablet, and then took out an identical wooden tablet, imitating Lu Fan's handwriting and wrote on it: "Yu turned the shameless apostasy, Liu Qi detained the last general, the general only took action, and the last general and politician paralyzed the other party, and he had his own plan to get out in the future." ”

After that, Wang Cang unknowingly put the wooden slip in the sleeve of the robe, and ordered the skilled craftsman to quickly restore the sleeves of the robe, and deliberately delayed for a long time before letting the entourage leave.

Wang Cang's work was so seamless and so fast that the attendant didn't realize that the information he sent was actually a fake one.

When the entourage caught up with Sun Ce, he found that Sun Ce's army had come to a place less than fifty miles away from Chaisang City and quietly stationed there, so he hurriedly handed over Lu Fan's wooden tablet to Sun Ce.

After Sun Ce finished reading the wooden Jane, he handed it to Zhou Yu and snorted coldly: "Liu Qi's thief is too hateful, he actually detained the general's envoy twice, and after the general pacifies Huainan, he will definitely return the color to let you know that it is powerful." ”

Zhou Yu said with a smile: "The last general has received the news, Gan Ning really did his best, and competed with the two generals' water army in Pengze Lake, the two generals insisted on not fighting, Gan Ning sent people to scold the battle every day, but there was still nothing to be done, now the morale of Gan Ning's army has been frustrated, and our army is attacking the city overnight and taking Chaisang in one fell swoop, so as to realize the plan of breaking the Lujiang River." ”

Sun Ce nodded and said: "Gong Jin's words are exactly what I want, after dark today, our army will march all the way, quickly rush to the city of Chaisang, attack the city overnight, and will definitely capture Chaisang in this night." ”

"Okay, let's do it." Zhou Yu smiled and clapped his hands and said.

That night, Sun Ce ordered the army to bury the pot and cook early, and when the time of the second watch changed, he ordered the army to set off immediately and galloped all the way to Chaisang.

The Danyang soldiers under Sun Ce deserved to be the best soldiers in the world, and it only took more than an hour to reach the city of Chaisang.

After coming to the city of Chaisang, Sun Ce immediately ordered the siege of the city. So the 40,000 army filled the river with soil, and soon came to the city wall, erected a ladder and bravely attacked the city.

There were only a few hundred garrisons in the city of Chaisang, at this time I heard the sound of war drums under the city, looked around, and saw that there were tens of thousands of people holding torches in the night, bravely attacking the city, I couldn't help but be frightened, and hurriedly set up a white flag at the head of the city, and opened the city gate, indicating surrender.

Seeing that the other party's guard general was so knowledgeable, Sun Ce couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, sealed the official position of the guard general as a military horse, and asked him to stay in the guard, ostensibly to attach importance to him, but in fact he was afraid that he would not be able to control him.

Early the next morning, Sun Ce immediately ordered the people to be pacified, and promulgated strict military discipline, and anyone who stole and robbed the people would be killed, so that the city would soon be restored to life.

At the same time, Sun Ce led an army of 20,000 to Xunyang Port, and together with Sun Ben, he flanked Gan Ning, the defender of Xunyang Port, and released the news that Chaisang had been occupied, and at the same time persuaded Gan Ning to surrender.

Gan Ning couldn't help but scold, but in view of the enemy on his back, he had no choice but to lead the army to retreat to Xia Pheasant to garrison, and at the same time urgently asked Jiangxia Taishou Huang Zu for help.

When Sun Ce saw Gan Ning fleeing, although he felt a little regretful in his heart, he had to leave it at that, because he had more important things to do next, and he had to take Lujiang in the shortest possible time to avoid a change in the situation.

"Hehe, Gong Jin, now that we have successfully taken Chaisang, Shun Lì has achieved the first step, and then it is time to deal with Liu Xun of Lujiang, I heard that Yuan Shu vomited blood and died in the first two days, and his brother Yuan Yin led the remnants of the remnants of the horses to defect to Liu Xun, and now Liu Xun has an army of seventy or eighty thousand, and it is difficult for us to beat him. You said before that you have a clever plan to deal with Liu Xun, I wonder if the clever plan you mentioned before is still useful now? ”

Zhou Yu said with a smile: "The lord can rest assured that although Liu Xun is a large number of people, but there is no food in Lujiang, so now he must continue to rob others of food, and the lord only needs to write a letter to him to persuade him to do so, then Anhui County will be empty, and our army will take the opportunity to cross the river and attack Anhui County, and it will definitely have Lujiang." ”

Sun Ce was overjoyed when he heard this, patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder and said: "Gong Jin's clever plan, it is really wonderful, so that Lujiang will enter my pocket, and my Lujiang Taishou has also done a good job, as long as there is Lujiang, I am taking advantage of the chaos to recover Jiujiang, so that the entire Yangzhou will only have Yuzhang in the hands of Liu Qi, I have already occupied Chaisang, and then use the power of the entire Yangzhou to capture Nanchang, it will inevitably be devastating, like a bamboo." At that time, I will raise a large army under my command, march into Jiangxia, kill Huang Zu, and avenge my father. ”

Happy New Year's Day and I wish you all all the best in the new year!
