"In the Great Qin State in the west, there is a marshal nicknamed Peanut, he is a well-known general, he has hardly won any battles in his life, let alone any glorious records, but in a large river battle with a weak enemy, he created a water war tactic to defeat the strong with the weak, although this tactic was betrayed by a man named Huang Jun, and was not able to be completely successful, but he also repelled the attack of the enemy's strong water army, I think this tactic is worth our reference and learning, You may wish to listen to me introduce this tactical ...... first. ”

For the sake of prudence, when Deputy Director Tao convened this top-secret meeting, he only summoned Lu Su, Jia Xu, Liu Ye, Xun Chen, and Zhang Zhao, five important ministers of Xuzhou, to attend the meeting, and introduced to them the tactics of destroying the enemy in water warfare that he had inadvertently thought, and asked several important lackeys to brainstorm and discuss the feasibility of this tactic and how to implement it.

After listening to Marshal Peanut's crazy water war tactics, Jia Lao Poison, Liu Ye and others all gasped, in addition to appreciating Peanut's ruthlessness, they also admired the ordinary people who voluntarily sacrificed for this tactic, and they were speechless for a while. Only Zhang Zhao Zhang Zibu, who gradually established a stubborn reputation in the Xuzhou army, opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Lord, you're not joking, are you? The Yangtze River is so wide, how can we ......? ”

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Zhao himself closed his mouth first, because Zhang Zhao suddenly thought that this tactic would definitely not be able to be used in the Yangtze River - at least the technology and productivity of this era could not complete the tactic, but in another place, the Xuzhou army could hope to complete this crazy tactic!

"Absolutely!" Liu Ye opened his mouth and said categorically: "And there is still room for improvement, so that our army does not have to pay huge sacrifices like that peanut marshal to achieve tactical results!" ”

"I can't imagine that there are such water war tactics in the world, Su really has a long experience." Lu Su first sighed, and then said: "Lord, this plan is worth a try, even if it is to lose all our Chaohu Lake water division, as long as we can annihilate Yuan Shu's main force of water division, our Poyang Lake water division can take the opportunity to dominate the lower reaches of the Yangtze River!" ”

"Of course, the tactics are brilliant, but the key is to lure the enemy." Jia Lao Poison finally spoke, and said slowly: "How to make Yuan Shushui Master desperately pursue our Chaohu Water Master, this is the key to tactical success." ”

After thinking about it again, Xun Chen, who had just joined the decision-making level in Xuzhou, said: "The hope of luring the enemy should also be great, our army's Chaohu Water Division only needs to go down the water in advance, and then deliberately show some flaws, Yuan Shu will inevitably have the intention of breaking through, taking advantage of the opportunity that our army's Poyang Lake Water Division has not yet arrived at the Weixukou battlefield, let the main force of his water division pour out the nest, first annihilate our Chaohu Water Division, and then turn around to deal with our army's Poyang Lake Water Division. ”

Deputy Director Tao, an old friend of Little Yuan Sangong, smiled bitterly with Lu Su, and then Deputy Director Tao smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Youruo, your hand used to deal with Cao Thief may be effective, but Yuan Shu ......, if Yuan Shu had such wisdom and courage, then four years ago, Yuan Shu would definitely not have been driven across the Yangtze River by our army, which was still relatively weak at that time." ”

"What the lord means by this, could it be that Yuan Shu doesn't even have such a little knowledge?" Xun Chen asked.

"If Yuan Shu had this insight, he wouldn't have offended all the neighbors around him." Deputy Director Tao smiled even more bitterly and said: "Not to mention offending Liu Biao, Cao Thief and Liu Miao at the same time, even our Xuzhou army that once formed an alliance with him, he also proclaimed himself Xuzhou Bo, and forced our Xuzhou army to the opposite side of him, so that no one was willing to really lend a helping hand when he was in trouble." This kind of fool who started with just his family background, isn't it more difficult for you to figure out various tactics to break by yourself than to kill him? ”

Xun Chen Wan'er smiled, and couldn't help but think of his previous boss Yuan Shao - that was not much better than Yuan Shu. After laughing, Xun Chen asked again: "Lord, since Yuan Shu has no such knowledge, it is impossible for his advisers and generals to not see this opportunity, right?" As long as someone analyzes the pros and cons for Yuan Shu and proposes this plan to break each one, Yuan Shu may not be impossible to adopt. ”

"There is such a possibility, but whether Yuan Shupifu will make this suggestion, we may not be sure." Deputy Director Tao nodded and shook his head, and after a little calculation, Deputy Director Tao ordered: "In this way, since all the princes think that the tactics of peanuts are feasible, let's arrange the layout around this tactic as the core, and the princes will seize the time to explore the terrain these days, find the ideal ambush location, and then discuss in detail how to arrange the ambush, how to effectively cut off the enemy's way back, and when everything is ready, we will not be too late to act." As for how to lure the enemy, you can discuss it slowly, and I will also think carefully to see if I can find a way to lure the enemy to the death. ”

Lu Su and the others agreed, and quickly went their separate ways, and Deputy Director Tao went back to the inner hall alone, and Cao Hong learned about the intelligence collection against Yuan Shu, especially paying attention to understanding who the current celebrities in front of Xiao Yuan Sangong were, but what disappointed Deputy Director Tao was that in addition to continuing to trust Yan Xiang and other old Huainan departments, only Sun Quan and Xue Li, the old enemy of the Xuzhou army, were trusted by Xiao Yuan Sangong, and there was no good person like Yang Changshi who was favored and reused by Xiao Yuan Sangong. If Deputy Director Tao wants to start from within Yuan Shujun, he can't find a loophole to exploit.

"Do you really want to take a risk and use Sun Quan's kid?" Thinking in his heart, Deputy Director Tao asked Cao Hong without giving up: "What about Sun Ben and Wu Jing?" How are they doing in front of Yuan Shupifu? ”

"It's not very favored, Yuan Shu's puppet is obviously both used and guarded against them, every time Sun Ben and Wu Jing lead the army to fight, either Yuan Shu's prison army is staring at it, or Yuan Shu's descendants are guarding behind." Cao Hong replied truthfully, and introduced: "In addition, the internal guards under the command of the last general also heard some rumors, saying that although Yuan Shu had accepted Sun Quan as his righteous son, some people said in front of Yuan Shu that Sun Quan had the image of an eagle looking at a wolf, and warned Yuan Shu not to entrust Sun Quan with military power, so until now, Yuan Shu has never let Sun Quan lead soldiers and horses alone. ”

"Who is this suggestion on the premise of Yuan Shu?" Deputy Director Tao hurriedly asked.

"The Lord forgives the sin, but it has not yet been ascertained." Cao Hong apologized and said, "If the lord needs it, the last general can immediately arrange for a detailed investigation." ”

Deputy Director Tao was a little worried that it was too late, but after a little thought, Deputy Director Tao still decided to try his luck, nodded and said: "Go and arrange it, tell the internal guards in Jiangnan, if you can find out about this matter before our army's naval division arrives at the mouth of the water, you will be rewarded!" ”

Cao Hong hugged his fists and agreed, hurriedly resigned to make arrangements, Deputy Director Tao was about to go to other official business, but there was a voice of Sun Shangxiang's little girl asking to see outside the door, after getting permission, Sun Shangxiang's little girl hurriedly came in from outside the door, pulled Deputy Director Tao's sleeve and asked: "Big brother, is there any news about my uncle and brother?" ”

Deputy Director Tao shook his head with a wry smile, Sun Shangxiang couldn't help but be anxious, choked up and said, "Why is there no news yet?" Did my mother and uncle forget me? It's been a few years, and you still won't write me a letter? ”

Deputy Director Tao is actually very strange about this matter, but because the Xuzhou spies can't penetrate the Sun Wu family and can't grasp the truth, Deputy Director Tao can only stroke the little girl's hair and comfort softly: "Don't worry, the river is blocked, the message is inconvenient, or your family's letter is already on the way, wait a few days, wait a few more days and there will be news." ”

Sun Shangxiang nodded with tears in her eyes, took out an unsealed envelope from her arms, choked up and begged: "Big brother, can you send someone to send my letter to my mother and kiss them?" Don't worry, big brother, I won't say what I shouldn't say, so I'll ask them, I have written nine letters to them before, why didn't they even reply to me, did they forget me? Big brother, you can check the content first. ”

Deputy Director Tao smiled and nodded, and took the letter in his hand, Sun Shangxiang was overjoyed, and took the initiative to hug Deputy Director Tao and kiss Deputy Director Tao on the face, and then ran out a little shyly. It's a pity that what the little girl didn't know was that her relatives had forgotten her, but because someone was afraid of exposing her ambush in Jiangnan, so the little girl's previous nine letters were not only not delivered to her relatives, but they had already been burned before she even left Xuzhou...... "Is it burned?" Or send it out? In front of the tenth letter, Deputy Director Tao was a little hesitant, but after thinking about it, Deputy Director Tao smiled a little dumbly, and said secretly: "What is there to hesitate about? Isn't it just for this day that I've endured it for so long? Sun Quan's fuzi is not available, if you don't give it a try, how can you know? ”

Thinking of this, Deputy Director Tao called Cao Hong again, asking Cao Hong to arrange reliable manpower, be sure to send Sun Shangxiang's letter to Sun Quan, and then bring back Sun Quan's reply, at the same time, Deputy Director Tao also explained that the messenger should be bright and dark, and the envoy should bring a book to see Sun Quan, and not let the envoy know the existence of the envoy, the envoy is responsible for observing the situation of the envoy, so as not to even have a person to report after the envoy is killed or disappeared. Cao Hong carefully remembered Deputy Director Tao's instructions, and once again arranged for reliable people to send the letter.

……………… Because it was confirmed that the Xuzhou Southern Expedition army was the first to arrive in Hefei, in order to prevent the Xuzhou army from launching a rush from the mouth of the Xuzhou, and to prevent the Xuzhou army from suddenly rushing down the river from Niuzhu, Xiao Yuan Sangong listened to the advice of the lord Bo Yanxiang and the righteous Sun Quan, and immediately led the army from Wuhu to Chungu in order to support the naval division at any time. As a result, it was also convenient for Xuzhou Xizuo to send a letter to Sun Quan, taking advantage of the undecided chaos of Yuan Shu's military camp, at night, Xuzhou Xizuo, who was lurking in Yuan Shu's army, stole to Sun Quan's account, and took the opportunity to send Sun Shangxiang's letter to Sun Quan under the pretext of having something to report.

Although Xuzhou Xizuo sent only an ordinary family letter from Sun Shangxiang, the letter was full of thoughts for his relatives, and there was no other mention of military affairs, but after seeing this letter, Sun Quan, who was a thief, suddenly had a face like earth, sweating like pulp, knowing that the thing that should come finally came, Deputy Director Tao, whose heart was darker than coal, was finally ready to use his own volt.

As soon as he thought of gambling his surname and future for others under the coercion of Deputy Director Tao, Sun Quan, who was currently mixed in Jiangdong and was quite proud, opened his mouth and wanted to let the guards outside the tent come in and cut down the Xuzhou messenger, but when the words came to his mouth, Sun Quan suddenly stopped, because Sun Quan knew very well that once he killed this Xuzhou fine worker, then his wonderful performance in the last Chaisang smuggling battle would inevitably be made public by Deputy Director Tao. Even his uncle Wu Jing and cousin Sun Ben can't spare themselves!

Thinking of this, Sun Quan finally dispelled his previous thoughts, trembling slightly and whispered to Xuzhou Xizuo: "Your lord, what else do you have to explain?" ”

"The lord only asked the villain to bring a message to the general." Xuzhou replied softly: "If the general wants more glory, wealth, and power, then the general can ask the villain to bring a return letter and send it." ”

Sun Quan's blue eyes dimmed, knowing that Deputy Director Tao was forcing himself to make a statement, either he acted as an internal response to the Xuzhou army and betrayed Yuan Shu's team, or Deputy Director Tao exposed his ugly deeds and killed himself with Yuan Shu's knife. After thinking about it and hesitating again and again, Sun Quan finally wrote a letter of loyalty to Deputy Director Tao, and was very cautious in personally sending the Xuzhou messenger out of the camp and to the riverside the next day, and then handed over the letter of allegiance to the Xuzhou messenger, and asked the Xuzhou messenger to send it across the Yangtze River to Deputy Director Tao.

It is also the luck of Deputy Director Tao and Sun Quan, when Xuzhou Xizuo sent the letter across the Yangtze River, the ferry was once intercepted and searched by Yuan Shujun's sailor sentry boat, but fortunately, Xuzhou Xiaozuo, who pretended to be a fisherman, hid the letter in his own bun, which luckily escaped the search of Yuan Shujun's sentinel and was able to send the letter to Jiangbei, but it was also a thousand moments and thrilling.

Two days later, in the evening, Sun Quan's letter of allegiance was sent into Hefei City by a fast horse, and Deputy Director Tao, who had just finalized the tactics of breaking the enemy with the strategists, was overjoyed to see the letter, but he did not dare to believe it, so he did not immediately reply to the letter, but carefully asked the details of the process of contacting Sun Quan, and then let the details of the process of contacting Sun Quan go down to rest, preparing to make a decision after discussing with the strategists the next day, and by the way, let himself think carefully for another night.

As soon as he left, Sun Shangxiang pulled Guo Huan and ran to Deputy Director Tao to inquire about the news of his relatives, Deputy Director Tao originally wanted to keep it secret, but seeing Sun Shangxiang's pitiful expectation, his heart softened, and finally told Sun Shangxiang that Sun Quan had sent a letter here, and when Sun Shangxiang was overjoyed and asked to see the letter, he was categorically rejected by Deputy Director Tao, explaining that it was a major event in the military aircraft that Sun Shangxiang could not know, and the little girl was also very sensible, just begging Deputy Director Tao to see her brother's handwriting, Then he wept with joy.

Finally persuaded Sun Shangxiang to stop crying, and the worried Deputy Director Tao drove the little girl out of the room again, and sat alone under the lamp to calculate and analyze, but not long after Sun Shangxiang and Guo Huan went, Guo Huan went and asked to meet outside the door to serve tea, Deputy Director Tao, who was thinking about a big matter, reluctantly agreed to Guo Huan to enter the room, and then instructed: "Put the tea on the table, and then you can go to rest You don't have to come to wait again tonight." ”

Guo Huan agreed softly, but refused to leave after putting down the tea, and asked cautiously: "Is the lord hesitant?" Hesitation related to Xiang'er's brother? ”

"How do you know?" Deputy Director Tao looked up in surprise.

"When the lord was talking to Xiang'er just now, his brows were always unfurled, especially when the lord told Xiang'er that he would have the opportunity to meet his family soon, the lord's tone was still a little hesitant." Guo Huan replied softly: "So the slave and maid dare to speculate that there must be hesitation in the master's heart, and it is likely to be related to Xiang'er's brother." ”

Deputy Director Tao, whose acting skills were exposed for the first time, was a little surprised, and reluctantly smiled: "I didn't expect Huan'er to have this ability, no wonder your sister Fang'er often praises you for being naturally smart and really smart." ”

"Thank you, lord, for your praise." Guo Huan said modestly, and suddenly knelt down on his knees to Deputy Director Tao, and said in a low voice: "Please forgive the lord, slave and maid, remind the lord, Xiang'er's brother Sun Quan, must not be gullible!" It is not to be entrusted with a heavy responsibility! ”

"What do you mean by that?" Deputy Director Tao was shocked, stood up and asked in a low voice, "How much do you know about me and Sun Quan?" ”

"The slave knows it all." Guo Huan replied truthfully: "When the slave and maid accompanied the lord and maid on the expedition, the lady told the slave and maid to secretly monitor Xiang'er, and also told the slave and maid about the lord and Sun Quan, and asked the slave and maid to keep an eye on Xiang'er for the lord, so the slave and maid all knew. ”

"This Fang'er." It was the first time that Deputy Director Tao discovered that his eldest wife actually had the potential to be a long-tongued woman - although Yuan Fang did this for her own good, but it was also very troublesome if she leaked the news.

"Lord, Sun Quan is not credible." Guo Huan raised her beautiful little face and said solemnly: "Please think about it, the lord can even betray his own sister, who else can't betray?" I also hope that the lord will think twice. ”

Deputy Director Tao stared at Guo Huan without any thoughts for the first time, and found that in the little girl's clear eyes, in addition to firmness and solemnity, there was incomparable confidence. Surprised, Deputy Director Tao first picked up Guo Huan, then pulled the little girl to sit next to him, and said in a low voice: "Of course I understand what you said, otherwise, I wouldn't be so hesitant, but there is no way, I have a big thing I have to do with him now, so I can only be fully prepared to gamble." ”

"Lord, you don't have to take any chances." Guo Huan shook her head, and asked cautiously: "Slave maid, please ask the lord again, what does the lord say about Sun Quan?" Would it be of great use? ”

"Despicable villain, sinister rat generation." Deputy Director Tao rarely said something in his heart, and whispered next to Guo Huanzhurun's ear: "This sentence, I will also tell you - even if Sun Quan is really loyal to me, I will not be of great use, and I dare not use it, this person's ambition and scheming will never be under the sworn enemy of our army Cao Thief, and I will never raise tigers for a long time." ”

"In that case, why don't you kill two birds with one stone?" Guo Huan's words were amazing, and she said seriously in a beautiful voice: "The slave dares to suggest that the lord does not have to worry about whether Sun Quan should be true or false, just do the opposite!" first deliberately leaked the fact that Sun Quan was the inside line of our army, so that Yuan Shu was vigilant and secretly monitored Sun Quan, and then told Sun Quan the wrong strategy by letter, luring Yuan Shu to take advantage of the plan! In this way, whether Sun Quan is reliable or not, he will inevitably fall into the trap of the lord! ”

Deputy Director Tao's triangular eyes widened, stunned and looked at the beautiful woman beside him, and didn't dare to make a sound for a long time, Guo Huan was seen by Deputy Director Tao and began to be shy, lowered her exquisite little face, and asked in a low voice: "Master, the slave is foolish and clumsy, if there is something wrong, please forgive the lord." ”

"Huan'er, if you are also stupid and clumsy, then there will be no high opinion in the world." With a wry smile, Deputy Director Tao's claws skillfully reached into Guo Huan's clothes, grabbed a slippery and tender poached egg and gently twisted it, Guo Huan's face was hot with shame, but she didn't dodge or dodge, and sighed, and took the initiative to snuggle into Deputy Director Tao's arms............
