Chapter 51 Lu Mao contributes a plan

As mentioned last time, Bu Qi asked his two sons to escape and send a letter to Sun Quan, and at the same time left a little blood for the Bu family. However, the two sons were both filial sons, and they were unwilling to escape, saying that they would stay in front of their father and fulfill their filial piety.

In the end, Bu Qi had to use his status as the governor of a state to force the two brothers to leave, and each sent 500 soldiers to escort them away. At the same time, Buqi also sent a number of troops, pretending to be their own personal guards, to break out of the city, in an attempt to confuse the public.

Just as Bu Qi was dealing with these things, Lu Mao came to ask to see him.

"Master Bu, now that it has been raining heavily for several days, the river will inevitably surge, if we dig the embankment, the Shu army outside the city will become fish and turtles." Lu Mao was very excited about the clever plan he had come up with, and as soon as they met, he enthusiastically offered his plan to Bu Qi.

"Nephew Lu Xian, Guan Yu used this plan when he was in Fancheng a few days ago, with the shrewdness of the prince of Shu, will he not guard against us? If my prediction is correct, the Shu army must have moved to the high ground and set up camp. Bu Qi asked rhetorically.

"This ......" Lu Mao was speechless for a while, after all, he was too young, and he was not as amazing and brilliant as his brother Lu Xun, he took it for granted, and he underestimated the heroes of the world, and finally thought of a plan, thinking that it was the best plan in the world, thinking that everyone in the world was stupid and stupid, and he would inevitably fall for it.

"Besides, if you dig the embankment, both inside and outside the city will be flooded, how many people will be drowned, and how many people will lose their homes and be displaced, have you thought about it?" Although Lu Xun's tone was calm, the blame revealed in it was not concealed at all.

"This, this...... It's the little nephew who is not thoughtful, please forgive me. Lu Mao bowed down and bowed.

Lu Mao's family background is a big family in Jiangdong, and his elder brother Lu Xun is an important minister in Eastern Wu, he is also smart and knowledgeable since he was a child, such a young man seems to have unlimited future.

He came to Buqi to serve here, just with a mentality of temporary training, and planned to find his brother Lu Xun to help him get a magistrate to do, or return to the central department to serve, so that his future is no longer a dream.

In fact, Bu Qi has always been very good to him, caring about him like an uncle, and rarely saying anything serious to him, and now saying such reproachful words to him makes his face a little unbearable.

"Forget it, it's good that you know your mistakes, and in the future, you must consider the people more, and don't blindly just want to achieve your own goals, regardless of the people's suffering."

"Yes, the little nephew has been taught." Lu Mao replied respectfully.

"Alright, you can go back." Bu Qi waved his hand and motioned for Lu Mao to go down, he had just parted with his two sons, and it was likely to be life and death, and he was not in a very good mood.

"Yes, the little nephew is retiring." Lu Mao retreated, walked a few steps, and before he reached the door, he clenched his fists, as if he had made up his mind, turned around and returned to Buqi.

"Huh?" Buqi, who bowed his head in contemplation, looked up at him suspiciously, not knowing what he meant by his going and returning.

"Master Bu, if the Shu army really moves to the high ground and camps, the little nephew still has a plan." Lu Mao said.

"Oh? If you have any other plans, let's hear about them. ”

"Generally speaking, there is a lack of water sources on the highlands, as long as we surround the highlands and cut off the roads for drawing water, after a long time, the supply of the Shu army will be cut off, and there will be a shortage of water and food, and we will be in chaos.

Our army still has 100,000 soldiers, but we can urgently requisition the city's strong, and it is not a problem to expand the army to 120,000, and the Shu army looks like it is only 50,000 or 60,000, with twice the strength, our army can completely besiege them and trap them alive on the high ground. ”

Hearing Lu Mao's strategy, Bu Qi felt excited, waved his hand at Lu Mao, and said, "Well, I know, you go back first, I'll think about it." ”

When Buqi led the troops to Cangwu to refuse to meet the Shu army, this Lu Mao stayed in Panyu and did not see the terrifying attack power of the Shu army with his own eyes. Later, although he heard many soldiers who came back talk about it, he didn't think about it, thinking that after those people defeated the battle, they deliberately exaggerated the combat strength of the Shu army to cover up their incompetence.

And the Shu army has been attacking Panyu City before is the fish belly army led by Zhu Bao, besieging more than a month, no achievements at all, not only did not make achievements, but only used long-range strike means to harass the Eastern Wu army every day.

This gave Lu Mao an illusion, feeling that he had guessed correctly before, the Shu army was not enough, even if it was more powerful than the Eastern Wu army, it was just relying on those monsters flying in the world to frighten people, and there were many people on his side, and now he took advantage of the situation, and he may not be unable to win.

Lu Mao didn't know, but Bu Qi knew that the attack power of the Shu army was too terrifying, even if his troops really surrounded the Shu army on the high ground, the Shu army could crush its own troops with just one charge, and it would not take an hour to collapse its own troops.

In this case, it is just a joke to say that people will be cut off from water and trapped on the mountain. Bu Qi didn't want to hit Lu Mao again, so he only waved his hand and let him go.

Lu Mao saw that Bu Qi was noncommittal about his plan, but waved his hand to see off the guest, so he had to go back very unwillingly.

After Lu Mao left, he left Bu Qi alone to continue to meditate there. He is now almost in a desperate situation, and although he prides himself on being quick-witted, there is almost nothing he can do now.

Now I can only hope that Miss Zhou will succeed in assassinating the prince of Shu as much as possible, and when the time comes, taking advantage of the chaos of the Shu army, she will lead her troops to strike with all her might, maybe there will be a trace of vitality. Bu Qiu felt deep sadness that he could only pin his hopes on a young girl.

In fact, he is not in a dead place, the Shu army has not besieged the other three city gates from beginning to end, and now the wind and rain are coming, the Shu army is likely to relocate to the highlands, and the threat to Panyu City is much smaller.

If at this time, he led an army of 100,000 and desperately broke through the siege, it would not be difficult for him to escape from Lingnan and return to Eastern Wu (of course, this is his own opinion, he still doesn't know that the Nanling Ancient Road has been controlled by the Shu army).

However, he was unwilling to do so, he wanted to drag this strange prince of Shu to death in Lingnan, so that the lord in the north could free himself and try his best to recover Jingzhou, and even further plot Yizhou.

He was willing to pay a price to drag the Shu army to death in Lingnan, but he also knew that even if his 100,000 Eastern Wu soldiers were wiped out, it would be impossible to block the way of the Shu army's advance.

"Siege on the high ground, siege on the high ground." Bu Qi had words in his mouth, he was willing to trap the Shu army on the high ground, but how could he be trapped?

Bu Qi felt that the flesh and blood could not stop the strange weapons of the Shu army at all, even if 100,000 people were filled in, it would not be enough for the Shu army to kill in one day, maybe the Shu army deliberately ran to the high ground, it was simply a trap, specifically to lure themselves into being fooled.

Buqi's head was very painful, he was racking his brains to think, he wanted to find a way to trap the Shu army on the high ground, even if it was for a short time, and try to delay the time for the Shu army to leave Lingnan. Thinking about it, he couldn't help but think of Lu Mao's strategy.

"Dig the river and flood the Seventh Army......" Thinking about it, Bu Qi's eyes began to shine, yes, his troops can't stop the attack of the Shu army, but the flood is ruthless, what if the flood is used to besiege the Shu army?

No matter how magical that prince is, what can he do in the face of the monstrous flood? Although the flood can't besiege the Shu army forever, it can at least hinder them for a few more days, maybe it is these few days that can help the lord buy time to pacify Jingzhou.

Digging the river embankment only requires a small number of people, and even if it fails, it will not suffer a big loss, for the Eastern Wu army in the city, this is just a drop in the bucket, and the worst is to return to the original state, in this case, why not give it a try?

Thinking of this, he finally made up his mind, called someone to call Lu Mao, and said to Lu Mao with a pleasant face:

"Virtuous nephew, the old man has carefully considered your plan, and thinks that your plan is really a clever plan and is very feasible. It's better to let the virtuous nephew carry out this plan, and the people in the army are at your disposal, and you can ask for any tools, weapons, and money and food you need. ”

"Great, please rest assured, the little nephew will definitely be able to trap the Shu army on the high ground." Lu Mao was also very happy to see that Bu Qi had adopted his opinion, and he patted his chest on Bu Qi with a red face.

"The old man is talking about your previous plan." Steps.

"What? The ploy? Lu Mao didn't react for a while, and said in amazement.

"It's the ploy you started talking about to flood the Seventh Army." Bu Qi continued.

"What? Flood the Seventh Army, Master Bu, aren't you, don't you say, that will kill a lot of innocent people? Lu Mao looked at Bu Qi in astonishment, not understanding which of Bu Qi's inconsistent words was wrong and right.

"Pedanc, the big war together, most of the people outside the city fled to avoid the war, where are a few people left near Panyu City. As for the people in the city, as long as they are notified in advance and prepared, I believe there will be no major problems. ”

Bu Qi's nonsense is probably only believed by ghosts, but Lu Mao, a hairy boy, just believes it.

"Step is wise." Lu Mao said.

"Besides, Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army in Fancheng and drowned how many people, have you heard someone scold him for not caring for the lives of the people and disregarding people's lives? Those literati and writers didn't praise him yet, but also said that he was 'mighty in China'.

Hum! In this era, the king is defeated and the world only sees your merits, where will they mind this kind of subsection. If you let it go, maybe after this success, the world will also say that you are 'Megatron Huaxia', the most unfortunate, at least you can 'Megatron Xishu'. ”

Lu Mao was so fooled by him that he couldn't find the north, and he was also stimulated by his words of "Megatron Huaxia" as excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.

He came to Lingnan for the purpose of gilding and mixing qualifications, and now that he has the opportunity to make contributions, he will not be excited there, and he will not be excited there.

"Yes, the little nephew has been taught, the little nephew will go to prepare, and the little nephew promises that he will dig the river embankment and let the monstrous flood drown the Shu army."

After Lu Mao finished speaking, he resigned from the Assassin's Mansion and went to prepare for his career. He was so excited that he couldn't find the north, and he even forgot that if the Shu army moved to the high ground, who could this flood reach?

He didn't even understand the purpose of Buqi's plan at all, and it was impossible to know if Buqi had sinister intentions in letting him carry out this plan.

But said that the Shu army had moved to the high ground to avoid possible floods, Liu Hou got a report from his subordinates in anxiety, saying that there were ten squads running out of Panyu City in the rain, and the number of each team was only five hundred, and they were all under the banner of Buqi, I don't know if Buqi wanted to escape, and this suspicious plan was made.

According to Liu Hou's understanding of Buqi, Buqi will not escape, but what happened to the team headquarters that fled ten times?

Liu Hou wished that Buqi would flee, so that Panyu City could be at his fingertips, with the current situation of the entire Lingnan closing the door and fighting dogs, Buqi who lost the support of Jiancheng must have only a dead end.

Whether they escaped on foot or not, these small units were the ones who had to be attacked. Liu Hou immediately dispatched troops and sent many small troops to pursue these breakouts.

However, the bad weather finally had a great impact on the actions of the Shu army. Heavy rain, muddy roads, and even blocked roads and bridges make visibility extremely poor, and traces such as footprints and trampled grass and trees can easily be erased by heavy rain.

The Eastern Wu army set off first, and the small number of people was conducive to hiding, these factors made it difficult for the Shu army to track, and in the end only six teams were eliminated, and four were missing.
