"What is the matter with Ziming?"

Seeing Lu Meng enter the house, Wei Tao couldn't help but smile, Wei Tao still had a little liking for Lu Meng, a young general.

The previous attack on Xiangyang relied on Lu Meng's shrewdness, so when he attacked Jiangxia this time, Wei Tao also brought it with him in the army.

may not be outstanding compared to martial arts under Wei Tao, but with his resourcefulness and changeability, he is a rare handsome talent under Wei Tao's account, enough to be in charge.

But at this time, Lu Meng's opening still made Wei Tao slightly startled, and he saw Lu Meng arch his hand.

"Dare to ask the lord if he wants to attack Jiangdong directly and destroy Sun Quan in one fell swoop?"

Wei Tao and Zhou Yu couldn't help but glance at each other, both of them were surprised by Lu Meng's opening, Wei Tao couldn't help but hurriedly asked.

"Where did Ziming know?"

This matter was brewing in the hearts of Wei Tao and Zhou Yu, and it could also be said to be a military secret, and it was not even known to the generals under Wei Tao's account.

"The lord has always had great ambitions, how could he be willing to let these complicated things tie his hands and feet? What's more, the lord has now dispatched General Gan Ning again, and others think that the lord is guarding against Sun Quan, but just look at the lord did not immediately rebuild Jiangxia, but even transported various weapons to build a water village, which can be guessed. ”

Lu Meng was not surprised when he heard Wei Tao ask this, and immediately said so.

"And it's not just that, before that Sun Quan and the lord competed, with the strength of our army, even if it was damaged, it could break the Jiangdong army, but the lord never made a move. And if the lord didn't mean to go down to Jiangdong, I'm afraid he wouldn't have transferred Generals Zhang Liao and Xu Huang to Jingzhou, and even at this time, I don't see how the two generals relaxed! ”

Naturally, there is a lot of news that Lu Meng guessed. But to be able to see this. And then get inferences. Lu Meng's own ability is needless to say.

"Ziming's guess is not bad."

Wei Tao nodded slightly, since Lu Meng already knew, Wei Tao naturally did not continue to hide it from him, and said directly.

"However, Ziming also knows that there is a moat in the east of the river, if I can't cross the river and go down, I'm afraid it will take time to spend time on this big river, but then it will be in vain to waste time, it is not my original intention. Now Gongjin and I don't have a good plan for a while. I don't know if Ziming has something in mind? ”

"Enlighten the lord, but Lu Meng is thoughtful."

Hearing Wei Tao's question, Lu Meng naturally wouldn't sell Guan Zi, and the reason why he came to ask for a meeting was naturally to offer advice.

"It is naturally not difficult for our army to go down to Jiangdong, but if Sun Quan is prepared, sends ships to patrol, and then blocks it with the method of crossing the river with iron cables, then our army can only fight hard with it. In this way, it is not that Lu Meng is discouraged, but that our army is indeed relatively difficult to defeat! ”

Wei Tao nodded slightly. He is not a person who shy away from illness and medical treatment, so naturally he will not be angry with Lu Mengyan for saying that he is inferior to Sun Quan. After hearing what Lu Meng said, he just asked directly.

"Ziming, what do you want?"

"Lord, now you should do a trick to hide from the sky and cross the sea."

Lu Meng nodded slightly, and then said slowly.

"The lord has clearly said that he will attack Jiangdong, but this offensive does not need to be violent. At this time, as long as this is the case, then Sun Quan will definitely not think that the lord has the heart to go straight to Jiangdong, but will only say that he thinks that the lord has the intention of attacking instead of defending! ”

Hearing this, Wei Tao thought about it carefully, and after a long time, he finally nodded slightly, this is indeed the case, and in this way, he can still sit in Jiangxia Water Village and command the water army, but it will not arouse suspicion.

"This method of 'concealing the sky' is indeed feasible, and I can also dispatch our army and navy with Gong Jin to fight with him on the river, as long as the two sides have dealings and comings, then Sun Quan will definitely take it lightly."

Wei Tao's words are from the past, when Jiangxia was still in the hands of Huang Zu, there were also several attacks on Jiangdong, although there was no result, but it was also a method of attacking instead of defending.

Zhou Yu on the side also nodded slightly, approving this method, but still asked.

"'Hiding from the sky' is good, but what about 'crossing the sea'?"

"I have heard that the lord has said that there are mountains and seas in Penglai overseas, so that an army can be sent to make a detour and stop in Penglai, and then attack the back of Jiangdong along the river."

Wei Tao frowned slightly, he naturally knew the general outline of the map in his two lives, but at this time, the navy army was mostly the army of the rivers, and it was not impossible to sail on the sea, but relatively speaking, there were many few.

If it's just a solo boat, it's easy to say, this is to move a large army, not to mention that it will be discovered by the other party, just to say that Wei Tao's navy is weaker than Jiangdong, and it is even more difficult to say if it is divided into a part.

Seeing that Wei Tao did not respond immediately, Lu Meng naturally understood Wei Tao's scruples in his heart, smiled slightly, and then said.

"My lord, Jiangdong is vast, if this is the case, it can cause internal turmoil in Sun Quan, but to break Sun Quan, you still need to defeat his naval army head-on."

Wei Tao realized that Lu Meng obviously had another plan, and he couldn't help but smile at the moment.

"What's the calculation of Ziming like this?"

"Crossing the Yangtze River at night, as long as the lord can hide the law from the sky, let Jiangdong relax his vigilance, every day during the day, and our ships fight on the river, and then our army takes advantage of its unpreparedness, and stays at night until there is a northwest wind, that is, it goes down the water, and attacks the Jiangdong water village overnight, and then burns it. As for the other armies in Jiangdong, the lord only needs to send a general to defeat it. ”

Wei Tao frowned slightly, carefully considering the pros and cons.

After a long while, Zhou Yu nodded slightly at Lu Meng, and then looked at Wei Tao and said.

"My lord, General Ziming's plan is very good! And the lord can go further, although General Lu is now famous, but after all, he is young, and he has no military exploits, if the lord can let him be the deputy governor, in the eyes of others, doesn't it show that the lord has no intention of encroaching on Jiangdong? And let General Ziming be the deputy governor, or secretly send a navy to quietly cross it. ”

Although Wei Tao is not as resourceful as Zhou Yu, he actually understands it in his heart at this time, but after hearing what Zhou Yu said, he couldn't help but feel a little worried, and said after a slight hesitation.

"I already know the meaning of Gongjin, and I am also preparing to use Ziming's plan, which can be filmed after the forbidden army to bypass Jiangdong, and let Xingba fight Jiangdong with me, but this deputy governor, Ziming's merit, is enough to be competent, but ......"

Wei Tao's words were a little hesitant, but Zhou Yu and Lu Meng in the tent actually understood.

Now Wei Tao's navy is naturally Zhou Yu, but Zhou Yu is often beside Wei Tao to plan the world's plans for Wei Tao, so it is naturally impossible to control the navy from time to time.

So in fact, in today's navy, Gan Ning holds the power, and Wei Tao appointed the post of deputy governor in order to make him better managed.

With Gan Ning's step-by-step training of the navy from scratch, it is just a deputy governor, if it is just Zhou Yu, after all, Zhou Yu can be Wei Tao's confidant, and Zhou Yu's ability, then Gan Ning is also admired.

But if you arbitrarily arrange a nameless junior to be on the same level as Gan Ning, I'm afraid that Gan Ning's heart will also be uncomfortable.

Lu Meng naturally knew the trick, but at this time, it was inconvenient for Lu Meng to speak, but fortunately, Zhou Yu had already thought about this problem when he made this suggestion, and immediately gave it up.

"The lord doesn't have to worry, I know Xingba this person, he has a sense of the overall situation, if the lord can say it well, he will definitely not object, and Ziming and Xingba are not at odds, as long as the lord is fateful, then I can say it to the lord."

Wei Tao nodded slightly, but he always understood that this was not good after all, and after thinking for a while, Wei Tao just opened his mouth and said to Zhou Yu.

"When the time comes, Gong Jin will tell Xingba for me, after this battle, with his merits, a marquis is indispensable."

Hearing this, Lu Meng's eyes showed envy.

There are rules in the Han Dynasty, different surnames cannot be crowned kings, this marquis is already very heavy, and according to Wei Tao's words, it is only 'the least', just this is enough to appease Gan Ning.

You must know that with Gan Ning's merits now, it is really worse to be a feudal marquis, but if Jiangdong is taken, then it is not impossible to be a feudal prince.

As for Zhou Yu, he must be able to seal something, so he is naturally not in a hurry, but after hearing what Wei Tao said, he couldn't help but nod secretly, this is the style of the Ming master.

"The lord has such a reward, Xingba is naturally unconvinced, and he must be grateful to Dade for his efforts!"

Wei Tao smiled slightly, no longer mentioning, although the determination in his heart has been decided, but at this time Wei Tao is still a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, and it is still a little inappropriate to talk like this.

The two people in the tent were not ordinary people, so they naturally understood in their hearts, and then turned to talk about the current war.

"Lord, since you want to hide from the sky and cross the sea, then you can bluff first! In this way, it can not only deter Jiangdong, but also cover what the Lord really plans. ”

Although Lu Meng's resourcefulness is not bad, he still has shortcomings compared to Zhou Yu, and after Zhou Yu was reminded by him, he thought about it and said.

"Oh? Will the plan be settled? ”

Not only Wei Tao, but also Lu Meng on the side looked at Zhou Yu curiously, and Lu Meng still admired Zhou Yu's ability.

"Huh...... The lord sent troops to help the two generals Zhang Liao and Xu Huang to guard against the Cao and Liu armies, and then asked the lord to spread the word to the world. ”

Zhou Yu smiled slightly, and said with a suggestion to Wei Tao.

"Just say that the lord will not lead a million army straight down to Jiangdong, and the 200,000 naval army is already the vanguard to Jiangxia, if the people in Jiangdong can immediately surrender, then the official position will remain unchanged, if not, wait until the other day my army will go down, but if there are those who do not follow, I am afraid that only the jade will be burned!"

Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Wei Tao was stunned for a moment, but soon Wei Tao understood what Zhou Yu meant, and then stroked his palm and smiled.

"Sure enough, it's worthy of Gongjin, this plan is very clever!" (To be continued......)
