Lu Su's movements were fast, and when he arrived at Shouchun, Gan Ning had not yet arrived in Jiangling, and Sun Quan was not slow to deliver the news, and the Jiangling Shou General received the news on the third day. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info really doesn't know the news of Jiangdong, how can it be faster than Gan Ning's boat. However, Jiangling was prepared, Liu Zhang was naturally prepared, and Lu Xun commanded the army down the river.

Although Liu Zhang's navy was not established as long as the navy of Jiangdong and Jingzhou, it was better than their foundation. The navy army with Gan Ning's 800 brocade sail thieves as the backbone has now expanded to 100,000, and these 100,000 people are all proficient in the water surname, and the worst can hide in the water for three days! Of course, the premise is that there are enough military rations, and Liu Zhang doesn't want his navy to become an underwater white dragon that eats fish, shrimp and crabs raw!

Lu Xun and Gan Ning were converging, but Lu Su was waiting very anxiously in Shouchun. How can it be said that Cao Ying has already been called a public official, and he can be regarded as a person with status, if he easily meets Lu Su, wouldn't it be very faceless? Cao Ying wanted to save face, so Lu Su turned white in a hurry. In the end, Lu Su, who was forced to be helpless, was about to leave, and Cao Ying met him that night.

"I've seen Wei Gong!" Although Cao Ying was called the Duke in Shouchun, he was born in Qian County, so he is still known as the Duke of Wei!

"Zijing, what happened, you can't even wait for a day?" Regarding Lu Su's behavior, Cao Ying was still a little unhappy in his heart, after all, he was threatened. If it weren't for Liu Zhang's great power, he wouldn't have ignored Lu Su!

"Duke Wei, if you are not rude, you are really in a hurry!" Lu Su said: "If you delay for a while, maybe our army will fight with Liu Zhang!" ”

"What?" Cao Ying was shocked: "Is Sun Zhongmou crazy? The difference in strength between Jiangdong and Liu Zhang was too far, and they barely fought, and there was only one way to defeat. Doesn't he want Koto anymore? ”

"It's not my lord's problem, it's Liu Zhang's attack!" Lu Su told Cao Ying about Jiangdong, and Cao Ying, who listened, was shocked.

"Are you saying that Zhong Mou used his sister to obtain information about Liu Zhangjun's army, and was retaliated against by Liu Zhang?" Lu Su nodded when he heard this, and Cao Ying's eyes flashed, he also wanted to get information from his daughter, but his daughter sternly refused!

"Duke Wei, now that our army is in danger, please help, otherwise it will be a cold mouth!" Lu Su bowed down and bowed, in his heart, only Lian Cao could resist Liu!

"My father will naturally help!" Cao Ying smiled bitterly: "Don't hide it from Zijing, in fact, what Zhongmou did, my father also did!" ”

"What?" Lu Su asked in surprise, "Then what did Liu Zhang do to you?" ”

"It's just that I didn't do anything to surprise my father!" Cao Ying shrugged his shoulders and said: "According to what happened to Jiangdong, Liu Zhang should not let go of his father-in-law easily, but Liu Zhang has not moved, which is even more worrying!" ”

"Gong Wei, the first strike is stronger, and the second strike suffers, since Liu Zhang didn't do it, it's better for us to do it first!" A cold light flashed in Lu Su's eyes, he didn't want Cao Ying to retreat, because he knew that Cao Ying had always been very jealous of Liu Zhang.

"My father wants to do it too, but is it time now?" Cao Ying was a little hesitant, although he had accumulated a lot of money and food, and the army had nearly 500,000, he was too jealous of Liu Zhang.

"Gong Wei, the longer we wait, the less chance we have to win!" Lu Su sighed: "You don't know that Liu Zhang's people and territory have surpassed us, and Liu Zhang's power is stronger day by day. The distance between us and him will grow wider and wider. If we let him develop steadily for ten years, we will have to be caught! ”

"Zijing's words are not bad!" Although he knew that Lu Su was a lobbyist in Jiangdong, it was undeniable that what he said made sense, and Cao Ying was almost persuaded by him. However, Cao Ying is not an arbitrary person, he said with a smile: "Zijing, such a big matter, this prince still needs to discuss with the strategists, are you..."

"Alas..."Lu Su sighed and said, "I know the difficulties of Duke Wei, so I won't say more." Please also ask Wei Gong to decide as soon as possible, I am waiting for your news in the pavilion, I just hope that you will be as soon as possible, even if it is the middle of the night, you can send someone to inform me, I will wait for you at any time! ”

"Okay, Ben Gong knows!" Cao Ying smiled and said: "Come on, send Zijing to the pavilion to rest, and order the ministers to come to the mansion for a meeting!" ”

Lu Su was sent away, and everyone under Cao Ying's command arrived one after another. With his own ability, Sima Yi has already mixed into the position of the second strategist under Cao Ying. Of course, he is no worse than the first strategist Cheng Yu, but his qualifications are too shallow, and Cao Ying trusts Cheng Yu more.

"Princess, Lu Su came to ask for help, what do you think?" After carefully explaining Lu Su's intention and what happened in Jiangdong, Cao Ying leaned back in his chair and waited for everyone to speak.

"Duke Wei, if there is no Jiangdong, our army will definitely not be Liu Zhang's opponent, this favor must be helped!" Cheng Yu twisted his beard and frowned: "The problem is how to help, you can't help unconditionally!" ”

"We are allies with Jiangdong, if we make a request, what if we have something to do in the future, and they also make a request?" Cao Ying shook his head, he was more credible than Sun Quan.

"It's easy to hear!" Sima Yi said with a smile: "Sun Quan asked us to help, and he must not let us get out of the tiger prison." Not to mention that the Tiger Prison Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, let's just say that the terrain in front of the pass is not suitable for large-scale wars. We demanded that we cross the Wuguan from Wancheng to attack Chang'an, let the Jiangdong Army join forces with us, and obey the dispatch of our army. ”

"This..."Cao Ying hesitated: "Will Sun Quan agree?" ”

"Of course!" Sima Yidao; "We didn't let Sun Quan listen to us, but we just let the Jiangdong Army in Jingzhou listen to us. Sun Quan is not stupid, of course he knows the benefits of the unified order! ”

"You can talk to Zijing when you go back!" Cao Ying nodded, he could tell what was beneficial and what could not be done.

"Lord, you can also buy some grain and grass from Sun Quan!" Sima Yi said with a smile: "As we all know, Jiangdong lacks horses and more food, and although there are not many horses in our army, there are many more than Jiangdong. We can exchange some medium war horses with Sun Quan for some food, and let Lu Su know that our army does not have much food. If Lu Su knows and is interested, he will also send some grain and grass to our army! ”

"That means our army sent troops?" Cao Ying glanced at everyone, his eyes full of inquiry. Several major strategists nodded in unison, and Cao Ying immediately ordered someone to invite Lu Su here.

"Gong Wei, have you decided?" Lu Su couldn't wait to ask questions after saluting, he knew that Jiangdong could start a war with Liu Zhang at any time.

"Bengong has decided to send troops!" Cao Ying said in a deep voice: "But this duke is short of military rations now, so he wants to do some business with Jiangdong, I don't know what you think?" ”

"Now is the time for business!" Lu Su has always been arrogant, he smiled and said: "The soldiers of Wei are short of food, Jiangdong will send you 100,000 stones, how about it?" ”

"No!" Sima Yi said: "Zijing, you and my army are allies, since Jiangdong is in trouble, how can our army sit idly by?" If you ask Jiangdong for money and food at this time, it will inevitably take advantage of the danger of others, and it is better to do business! ”

"I know Wei Gong's sincerity, but how can I have time for us to do business now!" Lu Su took a deep breath and said, "Why don't you let Jiangdong provide some military rations first, and then talk about business after defeating Liu Zhang?" ”

"After defeating Liu Zhang, who still talks about business with Jiangdong? At that time, it must have been a war of arms! Sima Yi smiled secretly in his heart, but he said with a very serious face: "The business I said is also good for Jiangdong!" Our army still has more than 1,000 war horses, all of which are of medium quality, and Jiangdong is short of horses, so our army will exchange these medium war horses for 100,000 stones of grain and grass, how about it? ”

"Uh..." Listening to Sima Yi's words, Lu Su reacted instantly, it turned out that Cao Ying wanted food, but also didn't want to be discredited with betraying the alliance and taking advantage of the fire to rob, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "In this case, I agreed on behalf of my lord, I only hope that Duke Wei will send troops as soon as possible, so as not to defeat our army." ”

"Don't worry, my father will not sit idly by and watch the defeat of Jiangdong!" Cao Ying smiled and said: "Zijing, you go back to Jiangdong first, and my father will immediately rush to Wuguan with the whole army!" ”

After sending Lu Su away, Cao Ying immediately ordered the army to be reorganized. This time, he brought Lu Bu with him! Facing the fierce Liu Zhang, he is ready to use the most powerful lineup. Of course, the Tiger Pass had to be defended, and Cao Ying ordered Xun Yu to take Li Dian and Li Tong to guard Xuchang to prevent Liu Zhang's army from attacking Yanzhou! Just when Cao Ying ordered the whole army, a farmer walked out of the north gate of Shouchun City, who was in a hurry and rushed straight to the Yellow River. At the same time, several pigeons rushed into the sky and flew west without outsiders noticing.

Lu Su left Shouchun and did not return to Moling, knowing that Sun Quan had led the army in the direction of Wuling, preparing to intercept Ganning in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. So, he went upriver and rushed from the waterway to Gangneung. At this time, the Jiangdong Navy stationed in Jiangling had already blocked the Yangtze River and was waiting for it!

"Brother Gan, the front is blocked!" Sun Lang became Gan Ning's subordinate, but Gan Ning was not polite and directly let him enter the scout camp. Not to mention, Sun Lang's skills are really good, except that his temper is a little short-tempered, and his surname is a little reckless!

"Don't worry, the lord has expected it a long time ago, let's wait first, and then launch an attack when the Jiangdong army is in chaos!" Stopping the boat at a river fork, Gan Ning leaned on the bow of the boat without any image, with a piece of grass in his mouth!

"Brother Gan, you said that Gong Qin had already expected it?" Sun Lang was a little unconvinced, he shook Gan Ning's arm and asked, "Tell me quickly, what are the plans of Duke Qin?" ”

"How do I know!" Gan Ning smiled: "Gong Jin is the boss, ask him if he has a question!" ”

"Don't ask, I'll tell you!" Zhou Yu, who was sitting in the cabin, heard the conversation between Gan Ning and Sun Lang, slowly paced out, and said with a smile: "The lord has asked Lu Xun to command 50,000 sailors to come to support, including nearly 100 huge ships and more than 1,000 large and small warships!" ”

"This..."Sun Lang asked, "Is the Duke of Qin going to war with Jiangdong?" ”

"We don't know yet!" Gan Ning and Zhou Yu looked at each other and smiled, they knew Liu Zhang's plan, but they couldn't say it.

Seeing that the two of them were actually keeping it secret, Sun Lang threw a stone into the water with some dissatisfaction. Suddenly, he heard a shout of killing from upstream, and was about to remind the two, but saw that the two had already stood up, their faces full of seriousness...
