Volume 1, Magic Oasis Chapter 17, Victory in the First Battle

Yangzhou, Huiji County, a Shanyue tribe gathering place.

A young general wearing black armour, wearing a horned armor and a broken halberd, was standing on the top of the hill overlooking the team below. This person is Lu Meng, Lu Ziming, the governor of Pingbei. The campaign to conquer Yamatsu went unusually smoothly. The reason for this is that the elite of the Yue Kingdom recommended by Zhou Yu turned things around in action. Originally, Lu Meng did not have any expectations for this team of only 200 people. But it was the brilliant performance of these 200 people that shocked the young general.

This elite of the Yue Kingdom knew the terrain near the Shanyue gathering place well, and under their leadership, the Wu army easily bypassed the traps in the dense forest. They are all magical spies, and every time they are the first to discover the enemy's situation, and lead the Wu army to eliminate many Shanyue ambushes hiding in the shadows. All of them are highly skilled in martial arts, and in the harsh combat environment, there were no casualties.

However, the only drawback is that this elite team is not completely under their own command, they have an independent command system, and they only cooperate with their own actions. Once, when a mountain could not be attacked for a long time, Lü Meng ordered the elite of the Yue Kingdom to go into battle as a fortified battalion. As soon as the general order was issued, it was immediately rejected by the opposing generals, on the grounds that she did not want the elite of the Yue Kingdom to be consumed in such a meaningless battle.

At that moment, Lu Meng was angry. He thought to himself, could it be that the soldiers of the Yue Kingdom are people, and the soldiers of Dongwu are not people? But when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back. Because at that moment, he noticed the lifeless and indifferent eyes of the other general. This is definitely not the eyes that a normal person should have, and a chill that penetrates the bone marrow instantly rises from his back. The woman in front of me, called Ji Zhen, couldn't be angry.

Commanding a team of only 200 people, according to the military system of the Han Dynasty, his official position is not yet that of a military marquis, and he is naturally inferior to himself as a captain. What's more, Ji Zhen must also obey his own command in name. As a superior, he was in awe of a subordinate, and Lu Meng was very surprised by this.

"Those who are not of my race will have different hearts." Lu Meng remembered this sentence in "Zuo Biography". Although this elite of the Yue Kingdom is not completely obedient to their orders, they still play a huge role, and Lu Meng is not good to complain about this. And at this moment, there is something more important in front of Lu Meng, that is, to establish meritorious service in the battle of Shanyue, and Lu Meng does not want to think about the rest of the things.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Soon after the lord succeeded to the throne, the foundation was unstable, and the people he hoped to rely on were not those old generals, but newcomers. Because the newcomer is young and easy to control, this gives himself a chance to emerge. Because of the good management of the army, the lord increased the number of soldiers for himself; And because of Pingshan's meritorious service, he was also appointed as the governor of Pingbei. But these are not enough, Lü Meng hopes that one day he can become the governor of the capital commanding thousands of troops, destroy strong enemies for his lord, dominate the four seas, and achieve immortal feats like Wang Jian and Han Xin. Now he is working tirelessly for this lofty ideal.

This expedition to Shanyue is an opportunity for him to show his strength, and it is also an opportunity for him to make meritorious contributions, and he will never give up easily.

Looking at the newly captured cottage in front of him, Lu Meng's face crossed a smile. A win is a good start, and the next step is to achieve even more brilliant results.

At this time, thick smoke billowed from the cottage, and there were still remaining fires that had not been extinguished; Everywhere there are ruins and broken walls, and from time to time you can see the corpses that have fallen to the ground, and the air is full of the smell of burning, which shows the tragic situation of the battle.

As he went, Lu Meng's leather boots stepped on a charred object, and he couldn't tell whether it was wood or a severed human body. Lu Meng frowned, a disgusted expression quickly appeared on his face, and then rubbed the dirt off the sole of his boot on a stone.

At this time, a soldier strode towards Lu Meng, and then knelt down on one knee and reported to him:

"Report to Captain Lu, the entire cottage has been cleaned up."

Lu Meng took off the punch on his head, wiped the sweat on his head with his sleeve, and then asked casually:

"How many captives did you take this time?"

"Not a single one." The soldier replied.

"How is that possible?" Lu Meng frowned when he heard this, and asked.

"It may be that our soldiers have been disturbed by the Shanyue attack in the past few days, and they will kill people when they see them, so they have not been able to leave a living mouth." Soldier reports.

Lu Meng spat on the ground, waved his hand impatiently, and sighed:

"Well, you go down."

At this moment, Lu Meng recalled the experience of the past few days. Originally, their own side had already won the victory, but out of nowhere, a small detachment of Shanyue appeared, they disguised themselves and hid among the captured Shanyue people, constantly attacking and killing their own soldiers. made the soldiers panic, but failed to capture one of the opponents. All the soldiers were afraid of losing their lives, but whenever they bumped into Shanyue, they didn't catch it alive, they raised their knives and slashed, and their several prohibitions were to no avail.

That's it, if you win, it's okay, whether you catch the prisoner or not is secondary, as long as you win. Lu Meng thought secretly.

Looking at Shan Yue who fell in a pool of blood, Lu Meng had no pity in his heart. This is their own doing, and those who dare to resist Soochow will end up with only a dead end.

However, he was preoccupied with patrolling the battlefield, and he didn't notice the female general standing behind him with the pseudonym Ji Zhen, and a sneer flashed on his face at this time.

※※※※※※※※※

Soochow, Huiji County, Yue soldiers camp.

In order to prevent a sudden attack by the soldiers of Eastern Wu, General Junshen deliberately set up his camp in a dangerous place, about five miles away from the camp of the Wu army. Externally, it was declared that this move was to guard against foreign enemies and use each other as horns with the Wu army to dispel the other party's vigilance.

At this moment, General Junshen led the army back to the station.

After personally arranging the defense work in the camp, General Junshen and adjutant Zhen Huixian entered the camp together.

Huixian helped the general of the military god to take off his uniform, and asked:

"General, Huixian has something unclear, please ask the general for advice."

General Chao Huixian smiled slightly, and immediately responded:

"If you don't know what's going on, just ask."

Huixian has always been the most obedient follower next to the general of the military god. Although Huixian sometimes makes some small mistakes, the general of the military god always does not care about this. Whenever Huixian has something to understand, she also answers patiently. Of course, this time is no exception.

I saw Huixian take a dry towel, remove the coarse cloth Zen robe on the body of the General of the Military God, and then carefully wiped the sweat on her back while asking:

"Didn't the general say before that he would help Dongwu pacify Shanyue? Then why did you secretly order our people to pretend to be Shanyue captives and secretly attack the Wu army? ”

When the general of the military god heard this, his eyes lit up, and he replied truthfully:

"It's about increasing hatred."

"Increased hatred?" Hui Xian wondered.

At this time, Huixian had already wiped the back of the General of the Military God, and moved her little hand in front of her. The general snatched the towel from Huixian's hand and wiped the important parts in front of him by himself. After wiping it up, he returned the towel to Huixian's hand, and continued to explain:

"Our ultimate goal is not to make Eastern Wu strong, we are just using it to defend against Cao Cao. Therefore, we must create a contradiction between Soochow and Shanyue, and let this contradiction intensify at the appropriate time, and then the hatred accumulated by Shanyue will be like a floodgate that will drown the entire Soochow. ”

"It turns out that there is such a deep meaning, Huixian understands." Huixian patted her little head and said happily.

Looking at the clothes that the general of the military god had changed, Huixian wanted to take them for cleaning, but was stopped by the general of the military god.

I only listened to the general of the military god and said:

"Huixian, please send someone to contact Chu Yuxin, the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Military Region. Ordered her to immediately send people to infiltrate the mountains conquered by Eastern Wu. When he infiltrated, he pretended to be a survivor who escaped by chance, and spread the news of how Soochow was killed and surrendered, increasing the hatred of the descended Shanyue towards Soochow, and taking the opportunity to seize the leadership of this part of Shanyue. Keep in mind that the matter of the killing and surrender of Soochow can only be spread among the mountains that have been descended, and it must not be revealed to the mountains that have not descended. I don't want to provoke the undescended Shanyue and increase the casualties of the Wu army. After all, Soochow was still a useful pawn at this time, and there was no need to weaken its strength. ”

"Order, Huixian will arrange it immediately!" Huixian hurriedly put down the clothes in her hand and replied.

With that, Huixian strode out of the camp and immediately arranged for a messenger to carry out the orders of the general of the military god. The messenger did not hesitate for a moment, and then he took two horses out of the stable, turned over, and galloped away.
