Originally sitting on the ground, listening to it, Bai Mu's body couldn't help but approach Zhuang Wu, slowly moved over, after moving over, Bai Mu patted Zhuang Wu's back and said: "Brother Zhuang, I really didn't expect you to treat me so sincerely." ”

Zhuang Wu smiled and said, "We are doing things together for the lord, so I naturally have to be honest." ”

Bai Mu was greatly moved, and finally ascended to see his mother, went to Zhuang Wu's mansion to meet Zhuang Wu's mother, and became brothers with Zhuang Wu.

But brothers are brothers, and their political views are still inconsistent.

Although Zhuang Wu put forward a lot of ideas on how to deal with Ziyang's generals, Bai Mu kept it in mind and rotted in his stomach, neither saying it nor using it.

Because Bai Mu advocated maintaining the alliance between Ziyang and Lu Jing, Zhuang Wu's strategy was unfavorable to his claims, and he naturally would not implement it.

But Shiraki died soon after.

After Shiraki's death, Zhuangwu took Shiraki's place, and the situation was different.

After Zhuang Wu took Bai Mu's place, he presented a plan to Lu Jingmi.

Zhuang Wu asked three questions.

The first is to fight against Hu Lan, whether you have to rely on Ziyang's generals.

Before, Bai Mu thought that Hu Lan was a more vicious enemy, because of the existence of this more vicious enemy, so they were better to Ziyang's generals and had to rely on Ziyang's generals.

But Zhuang Wu thinks that this is not the case, he thinks that these people under Lu Jing's current command are enough to fight against Hu Lan, and Ziyang is not needed.

The second question is whether Ziyang's generals are reliable.

Zhuang Wu thinks it is unreliable, Zhuang Wu feels that Ziyang and his generals are ingenious and capricious, and they are not reliable at all, and they are definitely not the objects they can rely on, so they can't rely on Ziyang and Ziyang's generals.

Lu Jing thought that Zhuang Wu's words were very correct, but Lu Jing still had a question, Lu Jing said to Zhuang Wu: "Then do you think we should fight Xizhou first, or Haicheng first?" ”

Zhuang Wu said: "Xizhou is easy to fight, it is not a problem to take Xizhou, but it can't be defended, because this place in Xizhou is a flat river, it is a battlefield where the cavalry in the north gallops, we took Xizhou, take it today, and tomorrow Hu Lan will send people to take Xizhou, we don't have seventy or eighty thousand people, we can't hold Xizhou, so it's better to fight Haicheng, Haicheng can be taken, we can also defend it." ”

Lu Jing listened to Zhuang Wu's analysis and couldn't help but nodded.

So, such a strategic goal was set to take Xizhou.

Taking Xizhou is very important for Lu Jing, it can further extend Lu Jing's power, and after taking Xizhou, it can also remove the threat that Xizhou originally posed to him.

Lu Jing also sent people to ask Ziyang for Haicheng many times before, but Ziyang refused to return it.

Zhuang Wu's strategy is in Lu Jing's arms.

But if you want to take Haicheng, you must kill Yang Dao, the general who Ziyang left in Haicheng.

Yang Dao is also a bear and tiger general, a hero, not that he can take it down.

If you want to kill Yang Dao, you need an opportunity, and this opportunity will come.

After Ziyang captured Fengzhou, he proclaimed himself the king of Fengzhou, and in the same month, Yang Dao began to conquer the city.

Yang Dao's actions are also to cooperate with Ziyang's claim to be king.

In August, heavy rain fell from the sky, flash floods broke out, floods besieged the city, and the flood also stopped the army sent by Hu Lan to rescue.

And Yang Dao took advantage of the flood to drive a boat to fight Hu Lan's generals, captured Hu Lan's generals, and killed another brave general.

It can be said that it was a victory in the first battle.

Then Yang Dao began to enter the city, at this time, it was Hu Lan's son Hu Yuan who guarded the city, and Hu Yuan's decision was to defend it.

At the same time, Hu Lan also sent Ming Song to lead troops to rescue.

After August, the war began to be in a stalemate phase.

On the one hand, Hu Yuan's defenders, Ming Song's reinforcements, and on the other hand, Yang Dao's troops, were at a standstill.

In such a situation, Yang Dao is neither advanced nor retreated.

If Yang Dao wants to take it and enter the city, the only strength now is not enough, and he must send troops to reinforce it, but once it is reinforced, his rear will be empty again.

So Yang Dao was also hesitant at this time, not knowing what to do.

Zhuang Wu immediately wrote to Lu Jing, saying that the opportunity had come.

At this time, Yang Dao was already in a dilemma, if Yang Dao wanted to take it and enter the city, the strength was not enough, so he could only draw military reinforcements from his base area, and the military strength of the base camp was mainly to guard against Lu Jing's strength, once it was withdrawn, Yang Dao's rear would be empty.

Zhuang Wu said: "Lord, according to my speculation, Yang Dao is hesitant now, what we have to do now is to fool Yang Dao and ask him to transfer the troops remaining in Haicheng to the front line of entering the city." ”

Lu Jing thought for a while and said, "The question is, can you fool Yang Dao?" ”

Zhuang Wu said: "Yes." ”

Zhuang Wu did three things, the first thing was what he started to do as soon as he took over Bai Mu's position, that is, he pretended to have a friendly relationship with Ziyang, although he wanted to kill Yang Dao in his heart, but on the surface he did better than Bai Mu before.

Yang Dao also thought that Zhuang Wu had continued Baimu's policy, and he did not doubt it.

The second thing, Zhuang Wu pretended to be sick, he wrote to Lu Jing and said that the reason why Yang Dao was hesitant now and had not yet transferred Haicheng's troops to the front line of the city was because he was afraid that they would stick a knife in the rear, and as we all know, Zhuang Wu was a person who was not in good health and often got sick, so Zhuang Wu asked Lu Jing for approval for him to declare sick now and go back to his hometown to recuperate.

After Lu Jing read Zhuang Wu's letter, he immediately nodded, and then he sent an unsealed official letter to recall Zhuang Wu.

That is, it is equivalent to publicly announcing that Zhuang Wu's disease is important to return to Yunjiang for recuperation.

The third thing is that when Zhuang Wu went back to recuperate, he encountered the defense of the rainforest on the road, and the rainforest said: "Yang Dao and Ziyang are a great threat to us in Haicheng, how can the general go back to recuperate at this time." ”

Although Zhuang Wu is pretending to be sick, he is also secretly pretending to be sick, and he can't tell the truth about the rainforest.

So Zhuang Wu sighed and said, "I also know about this, but I'm too sick now, and I can't help it." ”

Yulin said: "Okay, the general really wants to go to recuperate, then he can only go to recuperate, but I hope that when the general sees the lord, he can tell the lord that now is the best time to kill Yang Dao, because Yang Dao has always been arrogant and domineering, he has just captured and killed Hu Lan's generals, and now is the time when he is most proud and complacent, we should stab him in the back at this time." ”

Zhuang Wu said: "I'm afraid this won't work." ”
