Addendum:
Important omissions in the previous chapter (xvii) are as follows:
The scout has been decreed: "Order! β
The scout is out.
Sun Quan said solemnly: "Ladies and gentlemen, now we know that the current situation is very strange and sinister, and if we misjudge the situation, it will make the strength of the whole army of Dongwu fall into the quagmire, and we cannot extricate ourselves. Now I order: First, the Hefei army will be stationed in place, besieged but not attacked. Second, the follow-up troops must not advance, should be rectified on the spot, must not slacken, and be ready for action at any time. Third, Sun Jiao, you are responsible for organizing logistics grain and grass, and you must be very sufficient, three times more than the grain and grass for the same operation before. It's important to remember to be ready to go immediately and ready to go, three times more than before. β
Sun Jiao, Lu Meng, Lu Xun, and Quan Cong said in unison: "Get the order!" β
The following begins the main text of Chapter (XVIII).
Lu Xun said: "When I supervised Lukou on behalf of Lu Meng, facing Jingzhou, I investigated in detail and found that the Ma Chao Legion had never been stationed in Linfu, and had never even entered the surrounding areas. Only then did I know that Zhuge Liang had been planning this matter for a long time. Zhuge Liang is really well-intentioned. β
The water princess asked, "Why did Zhuge Liang do this?" β
Lu Xun looked at the water princess and said: "It seems that Sun Shangxiang will one day return to Jingzhou and reunite with Adou, after Liu Bei, the nightmare of Zhuge Liang has always lingered in Zhuge Liang's heart, and Zhuge Liang decided to end this matter completely." β
The water princess asked, "How is Zhuge Liang going to end this matter?" β
Lu Xun said with a smile: "If you want to end the marriage between Sun and Liu, you must completely destroy the Sun and Liu alliance." Only by completely destroying the Sun-Liu alliance can Sun Shangxiang never return to Jingzhou to reunite with Adou. β
The water princess asked, "There are many ways to destroy the Sun-Liu alliance, there are humiliation, abuse, misunderstanding, and conflict...... Why such a sacrificial approach? β
Lu Xun smiled and said: "The Sun-Liu Alliance involves the fundamental strategic interests of the Eastern Wu, Shu and Han countries, and those small actions will not shake the Sun-Liu Alliance." Back then, your second brother wanted to marry Guan Yu, Guan Yu said that a tiger girl is not worthy of a dog, how unreasonable, how humiliating, almost everyone in Dongwu was angry and wanted to fight to the death with Guan Yu. Your second brother just laughed it off. β
The water princess asked, "Zhuge Liang can also launch an attack on a certain place in Eastern Wu to achieve the goal of destroying the Sun-Liu Alliance." β
Lu Xun said with a smile: "Zhuge Liang, he doesn't want to bear the charge of tearing up the Sun-Liu Alliance first. At the same time, that kind of low-level provocation would be stopped by Liu Bei immediately, and in the end, Sun Liu shook hands and made peace, which made Sun Shangxiang return to Jingzhou faster. β
The water princess asked: "The Ma Chao army is stationed in Linfang, and that was arranged by Liu Da'er personally. How could Zhuge Liang change? β
Lu Xun said with a smile: "After Liu Bei made arrangements, Liu Bei hurriedly led the army to the front line to fight Cao Cao for Hanzhong. Zhuge Liang had a monopoly on power in Chengdu, and he sent Ma Chao, a tiger general who was happy to see the battle, to the Sword Pavilion, so that Ma Chao was useless. β
The water princess asked, "Why does the Grand Governor say that Zhuge Liang has good intentions for this matter?" β
Lu Xun said: "The most often, most effective, and easiest way to shirk responsibility is inaction. Zhuge Liang used the trick of inaction. Holding great power, he does not act himself, and he strictly prohibits others from doing anything. The main characteristic of the ministers is that they are outsiders in foreign wars and insiders in civil wars. It is very difficult to do it yourself and not let others do anything for a full seven months, and only the top wisdom of Zhuge Liang can do it. ββ
Zhao Yun said: "I would like to hear the Metropolitan Governor interpret Zhuge Liang's actions. β
Lu Xun said: "The first thing Zhuge Liang has to do is to pull Liu Bei, who is eager to achieve a greater victory, back to Chengdu from the Hanzhong front. Zhuge Liang did it. What Zhuge Liang said to Liu Bei, no one knows now. β
Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Exactly." β
Lu Xun said again: "Then he used both soft and hard, and used military law to strictly order Wei Yan, who was so happy, to obey the order that he was not allowed to go to war, and said some bold words. β
The water princess nodded, "That's right." β
Lu Xun said again: "At the same time, Liu Feng strictly ordered him not to fight. At this time, Shangyong and Guan Yu's army in Jingzhou had formed a strategic horn situation, and if Shangyong Liu Feng launched an attack on Wancheng, the blow to Cao Cao would be fatal. β
Zhao Yun nodded and said, "That's right." β
Lu Xun said: "Zhang Fei and Guan Yu's brothers and comrades-in-arms have lived and died together for decades. If Zhang Fei knew that Guan Yu was fighting bloodily, but he was sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, this would not have been possible. Therefore, Zhuge Liang borrowed Zhang Fei to seize Langzhong, and arranged for Zhang Fei to be stationed in Langzhong, a relatively remote place, and was not allowed to go out. Zhang Fei is a heavy drinker, and he forgets things after drinking. Did Zhuge Liang give Zhang Fei wine to drink? β
Zhao Yun nodded.
Lu Xun said: "The other is Ma Chao, who is happy to see the battle, if he really follows Liu Bei's decision to garrison Linfang, Guan Yu will definitely take the initiative to attack when he launches the Fanxiang War, then Guan Yu's Jingzhou army is like a tiger, and Cao Cao's defeat is a sure thing." β
The water princess said: "The result is that Zhuge Liang hid Ma Chao in the Sword Pavilion and consumed his life. β
Zhao Yun said: "I followed the first emperor to fight in Hanzhong, full of guts, Huang Zhong and the first emperor fought against Dingjun Mountain, and I was old and strong." But we were taken back to Chengdu by Zhuge Liang and were not allowed to go out. When Huang Zhong heard that Jingzhou had lost Guan Yu, Huang Zhong shook his head and sighed, and died of illness that year. Ma Chao was stuffy in the Sword Pavilion and soon died of illness. β
Lu Xun sighed: "In this way, a good game of chess carefully arranged by Liu Bei was resolved one by one by Zhuge Liang's inaction. β
The water princess said: "Dadu Governor, I heard that you wrote a letter to Guan Yu during your supervision of Lukou, and people said that you sang an ode to Guan Yu in your letter, which made Guan Yu get carried away and caused Jingzhou to lose his carelessness. β
Lu Xun said solemnly: "I have always thought that Guan Yu is the greatest hero of our time. I have always admired Guan Yu's battle, and I have always believed that if Guan Yu's battle, if there is no one behind his back, he will achieve a brilliant victory, so that the lifelong ideal of our generation: eradicate the **** and revitalize the Han can be realized. My praise for Guan Yu is sincere. But at that time, as a bystander, we had already seen that Guan Yu was in a state of fighting alone, and although he was victorious now, it was difficult to continue. And Cao Ren, although he is currently trapped, but reinforcements are coming in a steady stream, and the final victory of the Battle of Fan Xiang is Cao Cao's. So I reminded Guan Yu in my letter to Guan Yu: Wen Xu Huang and other young horsemen stationed in Jing and watched Lu Bao. Cao Qian is also angry, and he is afraid of increasing the crowd in order to get his heart. Although Master Yun is old, he is still fierce. And after the victory, he often suffers from the enemy. The ancients had the skill of sticks, and the army won the police. May the general make a wide range of plans and overcome them all. β
Zhao Yun said: "But it was Dongwu who attacked Jingzhou in the end. β
Lu Xun nodded and said, "At that time, we all sincerely hoped that Guan Yu's Fan Xiang battle would be victorious, and your second brother was the same. We are all waiting, waiting for Shu Han to suddenly wake up from a state of coma, as soon as the Shu Han army makes a move, Cao Cao will be immediately defeated, and the balance of victory will immediately fall to Guan Yu's side. But we didn't wait. Guan Yu suddenly opened the granary of Xiangguan in Eastern Wu to get grain, and we immediately knew that Guan Yu's military rations were gone. I immediately reported to Lord Wu. Your second brother was furious and scolded. β
Sun Quan's military account.
Sun Quan was pacing in thought.
Lu Xunyu reported: "My lord, Guan Yujun opened our army's Xiangguan granary to get grain without authorization. β
Sun Quan's face changed suddenly, and he turned around and asked, "Bo Yan, what did you say?" β
Lu Xun said: "Guan Yujun opened our army's Xiangguan granary to take grain without authorization. β
Sun Quan asked, "Is this serious?" β
Lu Xun nodded and said, "Seriously." β
Sun Quan asked repeatedly, "Exactly?" β
Lu Xun said: "Exactly! β
Sun Quan scolded: "Liu Bei, Liu Bei, you big bastard!" Are you blind? Deaf? The world calls you a hero, but where are you? Where is the male? You sent a text on the crusade against **** Cao Cao, and I, Dongwu, will immediately send troops to Hefei, can't you see it? Your second brother Guan Yu sent troops to Fancheng, don't you know? Guan Yu flooded Cao Cao's Seventh Army, don't you know? Huaxia is shaking, and the whole country is responding to your crusade against **** Cao Cao, can't you hear it? Now that your Guan Yu has been cut off from food and grass on the front line, can't you see it?
Do you want to sit back and watch your Jingzhou army sink into the sand and surrender Jingzhou to Cao Cao? I borrowed you Jingzhou to let you beat Cao Cao, not for you to give it to Cao Cao. I'm so blind, I've really wronged my little sister! β
Sun Quan looked back at Lu Xun and said: "Guan Yu has run out of food, Guan Yu and Cao Cao will decide whether they will win or lose, and Jingzhou must not fall into Cao Cao's hands." Bo Yan, we want to take Jingzhou now, can we? β
Lu Xun said: "Jingzhou is desirable now. β
Sun Quan ordered: "Immediately order LΓΌ Meng, and the white-clothed army will attack Jingzhou." β
Lu Xun said: "Yes! Immediately notify General LΓΌ Meng to attack Jingzhou. β
Sun Quan ordered: "Bo Yan, you immediately lead the Hefei army to go up the river and occupy Linfu, Yiling, and Yidu." β
Lu Xun said: "Yes! My lord, Guan Yu has exhausted the grain in Jingzhou in this battle, and after we occupy it, we must first solve the problem of the people's food and food, so as to quickly stabilize the situation in Jingzhou. β
Sun Quan laughed and said, "This Gu had expected it a long time ago, so he ordered Sun Jiao to prepare three times the grain." It's ready to go right now. β
Lu Xun said: "The lord is wise! β
