Chapter 504: Lu Meng's Aggressiveness
Now under Sun Quan, the only one who can be trusted, talented, and "innocent" is Lu Meng. The so-called resume innocence, it doesn't mean that Lu Meng has not committed anything in the past, just kidding, petty theft, this kid is estimated to have done a lot, here in Sun Quan, the resume is innocent means that he has no past, Lu Meng has never held an official and a half position in the army, no matter where he is put and what kind of Bai Xiaosheng he meets, no one will know him. Therefore, this time, the task is entrusted to Lu Meng, which is very suitable.
Sun Quan also hoped to take this opportunity to let Lu Meng make a meritorious contribution and perform well, so that he could be promoted quickly and logically, otherwise, how could others be easily convinced? Seriously, few people have the courage to do such a lonely and dangerous thing, and this alone can make many people speechless in the future.
In fact, at this point, the task given to Lu Meng by Sun Quan has been completed. Although there was a reason for Xu Gong's help, no matter what, Lu Meng had successfully deceived Yan Baihu into sending troops. Not only that, but this letter also pulled two other large bandits in the west into the water by the way, and found enough excuses for Sun Ce's next westward expansion strategy.
Moreover, on the way back from being rescued by the bandit soldiers, Lü Meng also secretly left a specific mark, which provided an effective route for Sun Quan to lead the army into the mountains to find Yan Baihu's base in the future. Otherwise, in this barren mountain and wild mountains, if he knew where Yan Baihu was determined, Sun Ce would have led his troops to fight a long time ago.
However, after completing all this, Lu Meng was not satisfied, and he wanted to accomplish more.
In the room, the unkempt Lu Meng only had a pair of eyes that were extremely smart, and there were bursts of fine light in between. Now that you have penetrated deep into the enemy camp, why not take the opportunity to assassinate the enemy general! As long as Yan Baihu dies, the bandits here will be leaderless, won't they be able to capture them? When the army presses the border, maybe you don't have to fight, and you just surrender.
Thinking like this, Lu Meng took advantage of the fact that there was no one in the room, sneaked out of the room, and then, following his memory, quickly rushed to the main hall just now. At that time, if someone finds out, Lu Meng only needs to use Chen Yu's envoy as the name to easily approach Yan Baihu, as long as he gets close to Yan Baihu, he can wait for the opportunity to kill!
It's a pity that when Lu Meng arrived at the main hall, Yan Baihu had already gone out to dispatch people, and it was Xu Gong who was bumped into by Lu Meng.
······
At the same time,
In the rear of the barren mountain where Yan Baihu was located, Sun Quanzheng led 5,000 elites to ambush Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin here, and the other 5,000 ordinary soldiers, led by Dong Xi and Ling Cao, guarded in the barracks, practicing as usual.
Sun Quan is good at strategy and strong personal force, but seriously, he doesn't know how to lead an army at all. To put it mildly, when the real fight started, Sun Quan could probably only shout orders such as 'attack' and 'retreat'. In contrast, Zhou Tai has some experience in leading troops, but Zhou Tai has only led a small team of 100 people, and he is better at being a personal guard and protecting Sun Quan's side. Therefore, Sun Quan had to bring Jiang Qin with him. Although Jiang Qin is also a young man, he has played many battles with Sun Ce this time, and he has accumulated a lot of experience. With these two people by his side, and the opponent is Yan Baihu, who is an irregular army, there must be no problems.
At this time, the ambush place of Sun Quan and others was on the side of this barren mountain leading to the direction of Wu County. If Yan Baihu's team went directly to Wu County after leaving the mountain, they would definitely not be able to find them. Once there is a good enough opportunity, whether Sun Quan is a sneak attack, or waiting for the enemy to pass before attacking back and forth, or directly rushing to Yan Baihu's base camp to take advantage of the situation, it can be called a good way. At that time, Sun Quan can completely make a choice based on the results in the illusion of thinking twice. Therefore, Sun Quan is not too worried about the situation on his side. In contrast, Sun Quan was still more worried about Lu Meng's safety.
However, Sun Quan also knows that if you don't throw the eagle off the cliff, it won't be able to fly. If Sun Quan wants a useful Lu Meng, he must train the other party and let him grow step by step. If it has been cultivated in a greenhouse, Lu Meng is still Lu Meng, but he is no longer the Lu Meng in history who can deceive Guan Yu and seize Jingzhou!
Waiting is tormenting, before coming, Sun Quan had expected in his heart, even if he waited for a day, Yan Baihu might not be able to appear, it depended on the speed of Yan Baihu's troops. But in fact, there is a premise for this, if Yan Baihu was not fooled, and he would not send troops at all, then Sun Quan would be in vain no matter how long he waited.
Fortunately, God did not play tricks on Sun Quan, Yan Baihu was fooled, and, at the instigation of Xu Gong, he sent troops as soon as possible. Of course, when Yan Baihu's troops really came out of the barren mountain, Sun Quan had been in place for most of the day.
When the spies reported that a large number of people came out of the mountains, Sun Quan immediately perked up and hurriedly asked Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin to reorganize the army. Even his Sun Quan was tired of waiting, let alone other ordinary soldiers? If you don't cheer up and find the state, even if you are surprised, it won't have a good effect.
Due to the large size of the barren mountain, Sun Quan was not sure where Yan Baihu and the others would go out of the mountain in advance, so for the sake of insurance, he found a more remote place to ambush. This led to the fact that now Yan Baihu has really come out of the mountain, but Sun Quan's troops are still not a short distance from the enemy.
So, Sun Quan asked Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin to stay where they were and continue to reorganize the army, and after the rectification was completed, he would lead the troops over, and he would take the lead and follow the spies, ready to take a closer look. Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin thought that this move was unsafe, so they naturally tried their best to stop it, but unfortunately, no one could convince Sun Quan. In this regard, Sun Quan is simply as stubborn as his eldest brother Sun Ce, or rather, the brothers are overconfident in their martial arts and think that nothing will go wrong with ease.
After Sun Quan left, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin did not dare to delay for fear of an accident, so they could only set off as soon as possible.
And Sun Quan and the others rode quickly, and soon arrived at the area where Yan Baihu's troops came out of the mountain.
Hidden in a forest, first of all, Sun Quan's first reaction was that there were many people on the other side, more than he imagined, and he didn't know if this Yan Baihu had gone out and poured out. Although intellectually, Sun Quan knew very well that the opposite side was just a rabble, and no matter how many people there were, they couldn't form much combat power. But I have to say that sometimes, a large number of people is a kind of deterrent, tens of thousands of people, just standing in front of you, there is a deep pressure.
This is a problem that Sun Quan, including many recruits, urgently needs to overcome. If you are intimidated as soon as you come, and you dare not step forward in the face of several times the enemy, then no matter how well-trained you are and how perfect your tactics of war are, if you charge down a few times, the first to collapse may be your own side.
You can't hope that the enemy will be more cowardly than you, you can only hone yourself again and again, so as to overcome your fear little by little.
At this moment, Sun Quan sighed again, fortunately, he had the skill to allow me to think twice.
