Chapter 53 Lu Ziming will plan Pang Shiyuan carelessly underestimated the enemy

"Derun, what's the situation?" Seeing Kan Ze coming back, Sun Quan hurriedly asked. Kan Ze shook his head and said, "Lord, Zhao Botao is Liu Bei's loyal minister, Ze is incompetent and failed to persuade him to surrender. ”

"Our power is weak now, and it is normal for Zhao Botao to be reluctant to come, and Derun does not need to blame himself." Sun Quan thought about it. In fact, this matter is indeed too unreliable, you just replaced Su Qin and Zhang Yi to come over and turn over the fish in the river, I am afraid that Zhao Feng will not take refuge in Sun Quan.

"Lord, but according to what Ze has seen, Zhang Fei will not be able to escape this catastrophe." Kan Ze said another news at this time that was not too bad for Sun Quan, and the latter hurriedly asked for the details when he heard the words, and then Kan Ze said carefully: "When I talked to Zhao Botao, I saw that he was panting, and there was a faint anger between his eyebrows, and finally he claimed to take revenge under the agitation of the mood, and it is estimated that Zhang Fei was hit by General Taishi's magic arrow, and his life was not long. ”

"That's great!" Sun Quan was also overjoyed when he heard this, and at this moment someone came to report: Shicai Tanma saw that white flags began to hang out in Zhang Fei's military camp, and he could faintly hear the sound of mourning, as if some important person was hanging.

"Come with me!" When Sun Quan heard this, he hurriedly climbed to the head of Wu County to check the clues. The Xuzhou military camp is not far from here, but it gets dark early in winter, it is evening at this time, and the visibility is not very good. At that moment, Sun Quan and the generals of Tai Shi Ci hurriedly climbed to the top of the city, looking at the brightly lit Xuzhou military camp from a distance, and indeed faintly heard the sound of mourning music.

"Zhang Fei is really dead?" Pan Zhang said with a hint of excitement, and the rest of the generals also began to discuss. Tai Shi Ci saw that Sun Quan's brows were tightly locked, knowing that he was not too sure, and he also took the initiative to speak: "Don't worry, my arrows are smeared with poison that seals my throat with blood, and it will be difficult for Zhang Fei to escape this catastrophe!" ”

"That's it!" Sun Quan also breathed a sigh of relief. How did the two of them know that there is now a Zhao Feng in the Xuzhou army whose medical skills are almost not inferior to Hua Tuo, so they forcibly pulled the third master back from the ghost gate. After drinking the medicine, I was sleeping soundly.

"Lord, Zhang Fei is a powerful general under Liu Bei, if he dies, the army will inevitably be unstable. Why not take the opportunity to attack the camp at night, or you can crush the enemy army in one fell swoop! Not long after the excitement, the most belligerent Pan Zhang couldn't wait to ask for his life.

"Huh?" Sun Quan was also thrilled when he heard this, this proposal was indeed very tempting. Although he now reoccupies several counties in Jiangdong, Sun Quan also knows his own affairs. First of all, a few years after he left Jiangdong, the hearts of the people in these four counties have been more inclined to Liu Bei, and their sense of identity with him, who has just returned to the old master, is not too strong; secondly, his army claims to have ** thousand, but this combat effectiveness is relatively pitiful, and a large part of them are newly recruited recruits; Moreover, there is a lack of talents under his command at present, and there are only these few generals who are full of battles, and the rest are all children of their own clans, and they don't even have a decent civil official; In the end, in the face of Zhao Feng's protagonist aura, it is extremely difficult to win! Sun Quan really hopes that he can have half a year or a few months, so that he can calmly reorganize his armaments, and then fight with Liu Bei, but Liu Bei obviously doesn't want to give him this opportunity. So at the moment, whether he can quickly defeat Zhang Fei's army is the key to Sun Quan's success or failure. In case it drags on to a siege battle like last time, Sun Quan doesn't dare to guarantee what will happen to this not too elite team under his command. Therefore, now Pan Zhang's proposal to rob the camp, Sun Quan is really very moved.

Looking at the generals, most of them also agreed with Pan Zhang's proposal, but Lu Meng bowed his head and remained silent. Sun Quan was slightly stunned and asked Lu Meng, "Ziming, what do you think?" ”

Lu Meng looked up at Sun Quan and the rest of the people, and then slowly spoke: "Lord, the last general feels that if we raise an army to sneak attack, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky." ”

"How can Ziming see it?" Sun Quan hurriedly motioned for him to continue. At the moment, Sun Quan has no strategists around him, so Lu Meng can still come up with some ideas. In the past three years, Sun Quan has relied more and more on him.

"Zhao Botao is a generation of famous generals, even if he is mourning for Zhang Fei, how can he be defenseless? Maybe the Xuzhou army is waiting for us to fall into a desperate situation right now. Lu Meng said slowly. This is a bit appalling, and many people say that they don't believe it.

"Makes sense." Unlike the generals' half-belief and suspicion, Sun Quan agreed with Lu Meng's words. There is no other reason, it is really this Zhao Feng, who single-handedly destroyed his Jiangdong foundation, and the shadow left on his psychology is too heavy. Even people like Sun Quan have to be cautious about him.

"But at the moment, the Xuzhou army is unstable, wouldn't it be a pity if such a great opportunity was let go?" Pan Zhang, who offered the plan, was a little unwilling, but saw Lu Meng smile slightly: "It's okay to rob the camp, but I need to plan carefully." ”

"What is Ziming's opinion?" Seeing Lu Meng smiling, Sun Quan knew that he was confident, so he hurriedly asked.

"Even if the Xuzhou army is prepared, it is also to prevent us and other defenders of Wu County from going to rob the camp. If it is other military horses, it is inevitable to be caught off guard. The lord can inform General Shubi of Xindu County with a carrier pigeon, and let him lead the cavalry to break through overnight and attack the rear camp of the Xuzhou army. When General Shubi enters the Xuzhou army formation and the ambush is exhausted, I will lead the army to kill again, and the Xuzhou army will be broken under the combination of the inside and the outside! Lu Meng said with confidence.

"Brilliant plan!" Sun Quan thought about it for a while, and then praised it loudly. patted Lu Meng on the shoulder, Sun Quan said with some emotion: "Zi Ming used to be just brave and ruthless, since he went to Jiaozhou to study the art of war, and now his strategy is far-reaching, and it is not the same as at the beginning. I have Ziming, such as Qi Zhitian Dan, why be afraid of Zhao Feng? ”

"The lord has won the award!" Lu Meng hurriedly said humbly, and then remembered something, and Lu Meng said again: "Lord, Zhao Feng is likely to attack Wu County while my army is robbing the camp, and the lord needs to take precautions as soon as possible." Sun Quan was on the rise at this time, and he didn't have the words to agree when he was in a good mood. At that moment, Sun Quan hurriedly wrote a letter and used the flying pigeon to pass it to Sun Yi who was in Xindu County. It is estimated that the pigeon will fly for two hours to reach the new county of Xindu County, Sun Yi received the letter and then dispatched the cavalry, and he will definitely be able to catch up with the camp before dawn.

To say that Sun Quan's efficiency in doing things is indeed very high now, it has been less than two months since he returned to Jiangdong, and he has already carved out several counties from the original Wu County and Danyang County to form a new capital county, facing the guard of Poyang County. At present, Sun Yi is in charge of the infantry army in Xindu County, and Sun Jiao is in Poyang Lake to lead the water division, confronting Chen Zhi in Chaisang City on the west bank of the lake. Since Xindu County sent troops to attack Zhao Feng, the cavalry could not arrive in half a day. Sun Yi sent his troops before midnight and could definitely arrive before dawn.

"My lord, I led the army to ambush on the left side, and Chengyuan ambushed on the right. But when the Xuzhou army comes, you can be surprised! After Pan Zhang arranged the ambush, he said to Sun Quan. Sun Quan nodded when he heard this, looked at the right-hand man in front of him who had been following him for many years, and sighed lightly.

"It's a pity that there are not enough people at the moment." Pan Zhang seemed to know why Sun Quan sighed, and said with some righteous indignation: "The three old generals live in seclusion in Baqiu, and Yifeng and the others are not in Jiangdong. Except for Mr. Ziheng and General Taishi, none of the colleagues back then came to help. The lord had never treated them badly when he was there, but now he was so quick to be respectful to Liu Bei one by one, it was really a cold world. ”

"It is normal for people to seek blessings and avoid disasters, so it's no wonder they are." Sun Quan was more open-minded, and said with a slight smile. Not to mention Sun Quan and Pan Zhang's respective calculations, in the Xuzhou military camp at this time, although Zhao Feng and Pang Liang had a long discussion, they still had some doubts in their hearts. For no other reason, this battle reminded him of the first battle nine years ago when he made a name for himself.

"When Cao Ying wanted to lure our army to rob the camp, he was defeated by my design. Shi Yuan, we don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past! Zhao Feng was a little not optimistic.

"The general can rest assured, although Sun Quan and his people have a plan, they can't see through this plan. If Zhou Yu is here, how dare I hold it up like this? It's just Sun Quan right now, and it's okay. Pang Tong smiled confidently.

"That being said, it's too risky. If Sun Quan concocted it in the same way, and also avoided the truth and made it false, then wouldn't the general Gao who raided Wu County be more auspicious? Zhao Feng frowned. At the beginning, Lao Cao's battle was miserable by himself, and he lost tens of thousands of horses.

"The battle that the general said was different from what it is today." Pang Tong touched his short beard and continued to smile: "The general should say that he set up an ambush on Jiulishan Avenue to burn Cao Ying. At present, General Gao went from Shenting Ridge to take Wu County, the journey was only twenty miles, and there was no place where plants and trees flourished such as Jiuli Mountain, even if he was ambushed, he could get out. Moreover, when General Zilong asked General Zilong to lead the cavalry to raid the enemy camp to confuse Cao Ying, where did Sun Quan get so many cavalry at the moment? Therefore, at most, this plan will not be successful, but it will never suffer, and the general does not need to worry too much. ”

"That's the best!" Zhao Feng nodded, a little uncertain. As the saying goes, people are not as good as heaven, with a resourceful person like Pang Tong, it is difficult to believe that Sun Quan's subordinates can see through his strategy, and they also magically make a cavalry. What's even worse is that they use flying pigeons to communicate, and the convenience of intelligence is far from being comparable to that of the Xuzhou army. This battle also made Pang Tong, who has always been arrogant, really learn a lesson, of course, these are all later stories.

In the middle of the night, Sun Yi, who was in Shixin County, received an urgent military information sent by his second brother, and immediately picked up 5,000 cavalry after reading it, and rushed to Wu County with all his might. At the same time, the Xuzhou army camp has also arranged everything properly, Zhao Feng and Huang Zhong led 60,000 horses to ambush around the camp, Gao Ran led the remaining 20,000 horses to hide behind Shenting Ling, just waiting for the Wu County army to come out, and then took advantage of the weakness to enter the city.

"General, why haven't the defenders of Wu County come yet?" The one who spoke was his personal guard Shi Chang Niu Jin who was ambushing beside Zhao Feng, since dinner, the army was almost out of the nest, and it had been three or four hours in this wilderness, but the defenders of Wu County didn't even see a single figure, which made Niu Jin, who had never had experience in setting up ambushes, a little confused.

"Don't get distracted, keep an eye on it." Zhao Feng reprimanded, and then patiently taught: "The stealing camp is generally carried out before dawn, and at this time, the people sleep the deepest, and the stealing camp can get twice the result with half the effort!" ”

"Little one got it!" Niu Jin hurriedly nodded in response. The Xuzhou army continued to lie in ambush for about two hours, and when Zhao Feng arrived at about three or four o'clock in the morning, he suddenly felt a vibration from the earth, and then the vibration became more and more obvious.

"It's coming!" Niu Jin picked up his big knife quite excitedly, and prepared to fight, as did most of the Xuzhou sergeants who stayed up in the middle of the night. Zhao Feng listened to the roar that was getting closer and closer, but his brows were furrowed.

At the same time, the gate of Wujun suddenly opened, and a group of men and horses went out of the door, rushing towards Zhao Feng's camp tent.
