Hearing that Zhuge Liang's army had not returned from the south, Sun Quan felt that the opportunity was rare, and appointed Lu Xun as the governor of the marching army, Zhuge Jin as the military advisor, and led Xu Sheng, Han Dang and other generals and 200,000 troops.

Lu Xun was well aware of the importance of Heqi, and adopted the strategy and tactics of attacking and attacking quickly, and every time the army surrounded a city, he did not camp and fight, but immediately launched a siege.

The losses caused by the siege were replenished by local rectification, and then the momentum went to the next target. Under the strong offensive of Jiangdong soldiers and horses, the Wei territories of Lujiang, Wuwei, Xianxi, Shiting and other places were lost one after another, and Sun Quan received good news again and again, and he was overjoyed.

The two armies marched in the opposite direction, and Sima Yi and the general Xu Huang also led the army to Hehuai without stopping, and finally intercepted the Jiangdong soldiers and horses at the mouth of the water.

At the same time, Zhang He, the general who had been stationed in Hexi, also led his troops to come, and the two armies converged into one place, totaling 200,000, but they were evenly matched with the soldiers and horses in Jiangdong.

Lu Xun won one after another, proud in his heart, and just wanted to order to bypass the waters of the wet beard and start a big battle with Sima Yi, but was stopped by the cautious Zhuge Jin.

"Metropolitan Governor, Sima Yi is unfathomable, and he must not be underestimated." Zhuge Jin said.

"I think he is a general, otherwise how could he have repeatedly lost to Wang Baoyu."

"The battle between Sima Yi and Wang Baoyu was a small defeat, and the strength was not damaged, while the rest of the people were all defeated and defeated, which shows that Sima Yi dealt with it on the spot, and was resourceful and decisive."

"Defeat is defeat, how can there be a big or small? The strength of the two sides is equal, and if you work hard, there is always a chance of winning. Lu Xun frowned slightly disapprovingly, the battle had not yet been fought, but he was desperately trying to speak for the other party, Zhuge Jin was really too cautious. The soldiers are fast, so they should go all out and confront Sima Yi head-on.

"Alas, Wang Baoyu is comparable to ordinary people, the governor of the capital, please stop the soldiers and horses, judge the situation, and it is not too late to attack again." Zhuge Jin still insisted on his opinion.

Lu Xun pondered for a long time, considering that the army was tired from fighting for days, and it was not undesirable to take a little rest, so he instructed Xu Sheng: "General Xu, you can personally lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to explore the reality of the Wei army, do not seek victory, go and return quickly." ”

Xu Sheng happily accepted the order, immediately led the team to set off, and quietly touched the Wei army while it was night.

Although Xu Sheng took a very cautious way of marching and tried not to make a sound, he was still discovered in advance by the treacherous and cunning Sima Yi.

"Sima Dudu, I haven't fought for a long time, and the last general is willing to lead the army to meet the enemy and capture that Xu Shengsheng." Xu Huang laughed and took the initiative to ask for help.

"No!" Sima Yi waved his hand and said, "Xu Sheng only brought 3,000 soldiers and horses, and he must have come to visit the camp and retreat as soon as he fought." ”

"Because of this, you can block the way behind him, so that he has no way back!"

"Capturing Xu Sheng alive will only anger Lu Xun, the army is tired, and it needs to be rectified, this move is not beneficial."

"Is it okay for him to come and go?" Zhang He was a little unhappy and asked.

"Hehe, don't worry, general, it's better to plan it." Sima Yi said with a smile, and then ordered to go down, and immediately divided the marching camp into eight parts, arranged in the formation of the Bagua diagram.

When Xu Sheng came all the time, it was already dawn, he stood on a hill and looked down, and saw that the camp of the Wei army was divided into eight parts, which he felt quite special.

Under Sima Yi's instructions, the soldiers who had just come out of the account all looked very lazy, stretching their waists, yawning, dragging their legs and walking, completely looking arrogant and fearless.

Xu Sheng is also a general who has experienced many wars, and the more he knows this, the more deceitful he often is, and he does not know the whereabouts of the other party. With only 3,000 soldiers and horses, the camp will definitely not be able to win, Xu Sheng did not dare to delay, and immediately returned in a hurry with his troops.

Xu Sheng reported the situation to Lu Xun as soon as possible, and deliberately emphasized that Sima Yi's way of distributing the camp was extremely special, and the order of the soldiers was unsatisfactory and very lazy.

After Lu Xun heard this, he said disapprerovitively: "Sima Yi must have known that you were going to visit the camp and deliberately made such an arrangement. ”

"The Metropolitan Governor is high!" Xu Sheng arched his hand and said, he himself thought so, but Zhuge Jin saw the other side, and asked thoughtfully: "Since Sima Yi has found out, but he doesn't need an ambush strategy, I don't know what it means?" ”

"Hehe, he wants General Xu to deliver the news, he is good at marching and arranging formations, which makes us afraid and retreat without a fight." Lu Xun said with a smile.

"Sima Yi is thoughtful, and the formation is so peculiar, it is necessary to guard against it." Zhuge Jin said.

Lu Xun thought for a moment, waved his hand and said: "Ziyu, in my opinion, Sima Yi and his people are too conceited, and doing this is just to be afraid of our army, and it is a bluff. ”

"What the Metropolitan Governor said is extremely true, since our army crossed the river, it has been invincible and invincible, and it is possible to defeat Sima Yi and seize Hehuai in one go." Han Dang was ready to fight.

"General Han can lead an army of 50,000 to cross the water from Xianxi and attack the left flank of the Wei army." Lu Xun ordered.

"The last general obeys!"

"General Xu, together with me, led an army of 100,000 troops from the west side of Chaohu Lake to face Sima Yi head-on." Lu Xun continued to arrange.

"The last general obeys!"

"Governor, you still need to be cautious." Zhuge Jin added cautiously.

"Our troops are abundant, there is no need to be afraid, this battle will be won." Lu Xun said confidently.

Lu Xun is not a blind and arrogant person, strategy is important, but Lu Xun's army is in a time of great morale, Sima Yi was passively beaten, and he came from afar, it is indeed a good time to fight.

Lu Xun arranged troops on his side, and Sima Yi was not idle, and quickly launched a series of actions. Sima Yi concluded that Lu Xun would look down on his model of arranging the camp into a gossip map, and would definitely attack.

"Sima Dudu is really a god, Lu Xun is conceited, and he really raised troops to attack." Zhang He said with a smile.

"General Zhang, you can lead an army of 50,000 people, walk in a roundabout way, and set up a defense in Shushan, fifty miles behind, and you will definitely block Lu Xun's attack." Sima Yi said.

As soon as he heard that he was going to retreat, Zhang He was not happy and asked: "Lu Xun'er, with his tricks to burn Liu Bei's hundred-mile camp, he thinks that he has a strategy, in my opinion, it is insignificant, why should the metropolitan governor make a fearful move to boost the arrogance of the other party?" ”

"In terms of tactics, don't despise the enemy, Lu Xun is a scholar, and he is not incapable of being able to have today." Sima Yi corrected.

"The governor is really promoting this person, otherwise how could he be helpless with Wang Baoyu?" Zhang He said disdainfully.

At the mention of Wang Baoyu, Sima Yi's backbone was also cold, his face was gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "Just do it, I have my own arrangements." ”

Although Zhang He was dissatisfied, the military power was in the hands of Sima Yi, so he had to lead 50,000 horses to retreat immediately, and at the same time, according to Sima Yi's arrangement, he walked in a roundabout way, making it look like there were many soldiers and horses.
