Chapter 494: Battle of Wisdom
Lu Lan hurriedly walked into the big tent, her voice trembling a little: "General......"
Lu Xun was lying on the quilt, his eyes were half-open and half-closed, and he didn't respond to Lu Lan for a long time, Lu Lan stood there, not even daring to come out. But he couldn't hold his breath, and the wheezing sound of the bellows was clearly audible.
"Is there a corpse coming down?"
Lu Lan nodded.
"How many, have you counted them?"
"The count has been counted, since the beginning of the war yesterday, there are now a total of six hundred and fifty-one people."
"That's a lot." Lu Xun sighed softly, held on to the edge of the couch, and slowly sat up. Lu Lan hurriedly stepped forward to help him. Lu Xun's leg injury has not yet healed, and his walking may be affected in the future.
"Have you checked for injuries?" Lu Xun slowly walked to the side of the desk and sat down, and when he sat down, the wound on his thigh seemed to crack open again, and the heart-rending pain made his forehead break out in a cold sweat.
"General, you don't have to sit so hard, just lie down."
"It's okay, the pain helps with wakefulness." Lu Xun gritted his teeth and sat down, and asked again: "Have you checked the wounds of the corpse?" ”
"Checked, most of them were drowned, and some were killed by arrows and hit by hard objects."
"Have you ever had your throat cut by a sharp blade?" Lu Xun grinned, and the joints of his hand holding the edge of the case turned white.
Lu Lan shook his head: "I haven't found it yet." He paused, and then said, "General, the two sides have not yet fought hand-to-hand, how can it be possible to cut the throat with a sharp blade and die?" ”
Lu Xun tilted his head and glanced at him. After being silent for a moment, he said slowly: "Although Wei Ba robbed the grain of Lipu, he also has a large number of people to eat. I don't think he'll be kind enough to keep the captives and increase his consumption. Zhongshan, you send someone to contact Pan Jun to see how many people he lost yesterday. ”
Lu Lan gasped: "Kill the prisoner? No way? ”
Lu Xun didn't understand his surprise, and greeted calmly: "Arrange for washing, and then invite Fei Yi to play chess." ”
Lu Lan glanced at him and bowed down to receive the order.
Fei Yi clasped his hands in front of his stomach and stood quietly on the shore. Look at the neatly lined corpses on the shore. The face is expressionless. He glanced at it roughly, and the corpses were about five or six hundred. If we add to this the captured and missing, then yesterday the losses of the Wu army were at least more than a thousand.
There were a thousand casualties in one day. As long as Wei Ba can hold out for ten days. Then the army of Pan Jun and Lu Dai will be completely annihilated. Judging by the data he has so far. The results of this war have far exceeded the prime minister's most optimistic estimate. After this battle, Wu's control over Jingzhou would be greatly weakened, and it would be impossible to have the strength to launch an attack on Yizhou in two or three years.
Wei Ba is indeed a very sharp combat knife. This knife slashed Wu Ren's body with scaly wounds, and his flesh and blood were blurred. It seems that it was right to decide to let him complete this task in the first place, and Ma Jian really knows Wei Ba very well.
Thinking of Ma Yan, Fei Yi couldn't help but laugh and shook his head. Ma Yan's vision is unique, but he may not have any good results when he goes to Guanzhong. Wei Yan is not a person who knows how to forbear, if he wants to share part of the rights and finally give up control of Guanzhong, Ma Yan is facing a lot of difficulties. He still has a long way to go if he wants to become the first heavy general of the Han Dynasty. Fei Yi didn't quite understand Zhuge Liang's arrangement, and he felt that it was far more feasible to arrange Ma Jian to Yong'an to replace Chen Zhi than to let Ma Yan replace Wei Yan.
Could it be that the prime minister hopes that Ma Tan will make meritorious contributions in Guan Zhong in order to be promoted?
"Fei Jun, are you free?" Lu Lan walked over calmly and arched his hand at Fei Yi.
"What can I do?" Fei Yi smiled noncommittally: "The general wants to see me?" ”
"Yes, the general said that if Fei Jun is fine, he wants to talk to Fei Jun for a game." Lu Lan laughed, but he smiled a little reluctantly, he hadn't slept well all night, and there were still hundreds of corpses lying around him waiting to be put into the coffin, he really couldn't be really relaxed.
"Okay." Fei Yi rubbed his hands and said with some excitement: "I happened to have realized some new chess moves recently, and I happened to learn from General Lu. ”
"That couldn't be better." Lu Lan invited sideways: "Please come with me." ”
"Please!"
Fei Yi followed Lu Lan to Lu Xun's big tent, Lu Xun had already finished eating, although his face was still a little pale, his eyes were very calm. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he put down the book in his hand and beckoned to Fei Yi. Fei Yi sat down opposite him, and the two of them started to play chess.
The chess game was played for a whole day, and the two seemed to have a good heart, and neither of them mentioned the battle outside, but just concentrated on playing chess. There was peace in the big tent, and no one could imagine that just five miles away, a vicious battle was taking place that was related to the life and death of tens of thousands of people.
When the guards lit the lamp, Lu Xun threw the chess pieces in his hand on the chessboard, and smiled helplessly: "Fei Jun is smart, I lost." ”
Fei Yi glanced at him lightly: "The general's chess move is not bad, but he is a little anxious." ”
Lu Xun laughed silently, crossed his hands, held them in front of his abdomen, and looked at Fei Yi calmly. Fei Yi remained silent, unhurriedly picked up the chess pieces on the case, and picked up his white pieces one by one, and then invited with his eyes: "Another game?" ”
"No, I said it, I'm not Fei Jun's opponent, I lost eight out of ten games, so why humiliate myself again."
"The way of chess is self-cultivation, so why should the general care too much about winning or losing."
"You are a winner, of course you can be generous, I am a loser, it is inevitable that I will be a little short of breath." Lu Xun asked people to put away the chess, washed their hands, brought wine and food, and raised the wine glass in his hand at Fei Yi: "Fei Jun, please drink this cup full, and then take a good rest, we will talk tomorrow." ”
Fei Yi's face was still calm, but he bowed slightly, picked up the wine glass, and took a shallow sip. He came here because Sun Quan made concessions to Zhuge Liang and was willing to agree to Zhuge Liang's conditions, reaffirm the alliance, and ensure the interests of Shu, but he asked Zhuge Liang to withdraw Wei Ba from Wuxi. Fei Yi rushed here to carry out Zhuge Liang's order to end the war. Now that Shu Han has the advantage and Wu is embarrassed, of course he can face Lu Xun calmly. Lu Xun wanted to fight for more benefits for the subsequent negotiations through psychological interference, how could Fei Yi let him get his wish.
The two finished drinking. Fei Yi stood up, said goodbye, and walked away. As soon as he went out, Lu Xun's face sank, and the hand holding the wine glass almost crushed the wine glass. Lu Lan walked in and looked at him with a pale face.
"How many died today?"
"So far, one thousand one hundred and twenty-one, and it is estimated that there will be some more at night, and the total number is about fifteen hundred." Lu Lan lowered her head, "Pan Jun sent a message over there." Yesterday's total casualties were 1,173. ”
Lu Xun couldn't hold back any longer. With a "bang", all the cups and plates on the case were swept to the ground, his face was swollen, and he scolded loudly: "Is Pan Chengming crazy?" Three thousand men were killed in two days. How many more people can die? ”
Lu Lan bit her lip. Not a word. This result also shocked him very much. Up to now. Wei Ba's position on the cliff was still intact, and there was no sign of being impacted at all, Pan Jun was so brutal. In a few days, his army will be completely wiped out, and there is no need to save him.
Lu Xun gritted his teeth in anger, he stood up suddenly, and his thighs suddenly hurt his heart and lungs, making him scream involuntarily. Lu Lan hurriedly stepped forward to help him. Lu Xun grabbed his sleeve and said word by word: "Let people tell Pan Jun, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, you must drag it out as much as possible, the longer it is delayed, the more beneficial it will be for us." He didn't have much to spare, and Wei Ba wasn't much better. Hold on to ......"
He stretched out a hand and shook it vigorously in front of Lu Lan: "Five days, hold on for another five days, and we will be able to win a little capital for negotiation." ”
"But ......"
"I know, I know." Lu Xun's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat: "You let people tell him that in five days, I will definitely deliver the grain to him." I'll figure it out. I begged him, I begged him, don't fight like this again, when people finish fighting, we will lose. ”
"But how can we get the food in?"
"Don't care, you just say this to Pan Jun." Lu Xun was panting, as if he might lose his breath at any time: "Fighting, not only on the battlefield, but also in the court, let him look farther, see farther." ”
Lu Lan nodded: "Well, I'll send someone to see him." ”
"Go, go!" Lu Xun pushed Lu Lan and said hurriedly: "Be sure to bring my words." ”
……
Pan Jun paced back and forth in the cabin, stopping from time to time to glance at the bridge in the distance. Torches were planted on the bridge, swaying in the night wind, like stars in the sky. The bridge was like a sky bridge full of stars, a bridge in the sky.
Didn't Pan Jun know that Wei Ba Weishenme wanted to build this bridge just to connect the two sides of the strait? He didn't know, he only knew that this bridge was like a battle flag, showing Wei Ba's strength all the time. Only such an incredible overpass can be worthy of his great name. If it weren't for the gods, who could build a bridge from that height?
Man cannot fight with God. Pan Jun knew that after two days of fierce fighting, the morale of the Wu army, which had suffered heavy losses, had fallen to a low point. In addition to the threat of food shortages, rumors that Wei Ba was the reincarnation of the gods began to spread among the military. The concept of reincarnation and rebirth is the barbarian belief on the Tianzhu side, and many people in the southwest also believe in it, especially those barbarians from the mountains, and those Jiaozhou people under Lu Dai.
Pan Jun was very uneasy, he was worried that if this continued, he might not be able to run out of food and collapse. The rumors of the god general are like that overpass, condescending, lying in everyone's heart, and also blocking Pan Jun's heart.
How can you destroy that flyover? Pan Jun narrowed his eyes and was silent for a moment: "Come on, invite Lu Gong." ”
"Whoa." The guards turned and left. Pan Jun paced back in the cabin. After a while, heavy footsteps sounded outside, and Lu Dai, who was described as withered, appeared in front of Pan Jun. In the past two days, the people responsible for clearing the wrecker mainly entered Lu Dai's subordinates, and the loss was very large, and Lu Dai only had more than 1,000 people left, as a heavy general who had been dominant, and as a veteran in Sun Quan's shogunate, he was in a very bad mood when he fell to this step.
"General Pan, what's wrong?"
Pan Jun greeted him with a smile on his face: "Gong Lu, please take a seat." It's been hard for the past two days, okay? (To be continued......)
