Chapter Seventy-Seven: Crossing the River in White
Kodong Kure gun.
Cao Cao had already sent people to let Jiangdong send troops as promised.
Looking at the news in front of him, Sun Quan decisively found his cronies. As for Zhang Zhao and other advisers, they didn't tell him, and he didn't really want to help Cao Cao work.
If you want to make trouble, you still have to rely on Zhou Yu and them.
Previously, he also asked Zhang Zhao and other advisers for their opinions, and persuaded him one by one that since he chose to surrender to Cao Cao, he should not sit idly by, and should send troops as soon as possible to gain Cao Cao's trust.
In this chamber, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, and even the generals of Lu Meng all appeared here.
During this time, Sun Quan has been waiting for news.
He looked at it and said:
"Lone Fang just got the news that Cao Cao has sent troops to Jingzhou, and now he is leading the elite to attack Xinye, and sent people to ask Lone to send troops, I don't know what you think?"
Now Zhou Yu, who is blindfolded on his right eye, no longer has the elegant temperament of the past, but is a little more ruthless.
Hearing Sun Quan's words, Zhou Yu said:
"Lord Qiqi, at this moment, Cao Cao sent people here because the situation has reached a stalemate. Now it is Liu Bei who is stationed in Xinye, and his subordinates are brave, so Cao Jun can't break Xinye lightly.
But in the final analysis, Cao Cao's strength must be far superior to Jingzhou, if at this moment I Jiangdong sent troops to attack the four counties of Jingnan, whether it can be captured is another matter, Jingzhou will definitely not be guaranteed.
It was the last general who still felt that our army should go north to plot against Xuzhou, so that Cao Cao could not take care of each other. β
Now no matter how disgusted Sun Quan is in Jingzhou, it is also Jiangdong's shield. If he goes up and dismantles the shield himself, won't the sharp arrow be shot to Jiangdong at that time?
The current Sun Quan is just for self-preservation.
It was Sun Quan who nodded:
"Gongjin's meaning is clear, then let's do it, but how should we go north to plot Xuzhou, this matter should not be reckless, do you have any suggestions?"
In the crowd, Lu Meng stood up.
Facing Sun Quan, he arched his hand and said:
"Lord Qi, the last general is willing to lead a strange army, take advantage of Cao's unpreparedness, and take Shouchun City directly."
Under Sun Quan, LΓΌ Meng has always been a brave general.
In the face of his proposal, Sun Quan muttered:
Cao Cao was very suspicious, and although he led a large army to attack Jingzhou, it was impossible for him to be unprepared.
If you rush to send troops, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve all the successes. β
Lu Meng smiled and said:
"Lord, the last general still has a plan, you can let the soldiers disguise themselves as white-clothed merchants, let the Cao army relax their vigilance along the way, break their guard, and then sneak into Shouchun City, attack inside and outside, and the city will break itself."
Hearing this, Sun Quan couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Because in his impression, although Lu Meng fought bravely, he was just a rough man, where did he have so much thought?
He couldn't help but be curious:
"Ziming, how did you come up with this plan?"
Lu Meng replied:
"Enlighten the lord, this is the art of war that the last general learned by the governor."
Looking at the serious Lu Meng, Sun Quan also smiled and said:
"I see, this plan is worth a try, if you can really win Shouchun, in the future, I Jiangdong will not have to be afraid of the Cao army's offensive, Ziming, you are a lot more careful.
But if you want to go further, you have to read more books after all, if you are just a martial artist, although you can fight on the battlefield, but if you want to be famous in the world, you will not be enough after all.
Ziming, you can say these words today, which shows that you have a good talent, don't live up to Lone's expectations of you. β
Lu Meng kept Sun Quan's words in mind and replied:
"The Admiral understands."
Zhou Yu didn't dwell on anything, considered the feasibility of the plan, and gave a reply:
"Enlighten the lord, the last general also thinks that this plan is feasible."
The rest of the crowd expressed their stance.
Although the large warships in Koto are now almost destroyed, there are still quite a few small ships.
It's just that thinking of the majesty of the treasure ship, the people in Jiangdong no longer have the will to fight.
Sun Quan groaned:
"Since this plan was proposed by Ziming, then this time you will be the main general and go to capture Shouchun City!
Gongjin, you are still sitting in Jiangdong, just in case of emergency.
β
Zhou Yu said yes.
Lu Meng was also excited, and immediately replied:
"The end will definitely live up to the trust of the lord."
After the discussion was completed, Sun Quan asked everyone to prepare.
The next step is to mobilize the troops.
Meantime.
Gan Ning also received Liu Qi's order.
It was to reorganize the troops and horses and prepare to attack the hinterland of Cao's army.
When the troops and horses are mobilized everywhere.
Xue Li came out of Fancheng and quickly chose his target.
He didn't go to Xinye City, there were too many Cao troops there, and his elite cavalry couldn't play a role.
If one is not caught by Cao Jun, the whole army may be wiped out.
Xue Li naturally understood what he was going to do.
Tong Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, his biggest advantage is speed, and he can march unexpectedly.
Instead of wasting time by going to Shinno.
It's better to go to Jingbei Yingzhai and find a way to help Huang Zhong solve the problem.
Now the situation in Jingbei is already familiar to Xue Li.
He makes his own judgment.
Everyone knows that Cao's army is strong in land warfare, so the key to breaking the situation is to break through Cao's other troops.
And at the moment.
Huang Zhong has taken Wuyin County without surprise.
Only then did he transfer his troops back to the defensive camp.
At this moment, Huo Jun was stationed in Jingbei Yingzhai.
Allowed Xiahou Yuan to attack, he still did not move.
At this time, Xiahou Yuan also realized that if he wanted to take down Jingbei Yingzhai now, his chances were slim.
With the loss of more than 1,000 soldiers, he resolutely evacuated.
He had already received Cao Cao's orders.
did not force the capture of Jingbei Yingzhai, as long as he managed to entangle Huang Zhong's side.
In this regard, Xiahou Yuan naturally had no objection.
After all, what Xiahou Yuan is best at is marching fast.
With the elite of his subordinates, it is impossible for the Jingzhou soldiers led by Huang Zhong to catch up, which is his greatest reliance.
If you choose to attack Jingbei Yingzhai, it is to attack the strong with weakness.
When Huang Zhong led the army back to Jingbei Yingzhai.
Seeing the camp that was damaged, but there was no major problem, I couldn't help but be a little surprised, and then I was happy:
"Zhong Miao guards the village, Cao Jun really has no chance to take advantage of it!"
Huo Jun arched his hand and said:
"General, the Cao army has not yet come by 10,000 people, and there are no siege equipment, so there is no problem with the final general's defense."
Hearing this reply, Huang Zhong suddenly moved his mind.
If Cao's army can't break through the Jingbei camp, can he bring people to support Xinye?
After all, it was the main force of Cao's army.
Xiahou Yuan, who had already retreated, Huang Zhong could even conclude that if he chose to catch up, people would definitely run away.
After thinking about it, Huang Zhong said:
"Zhong Miao, with your soldiers and horses, you still defend the previous Cao army, how long do you think you can defend it?"
Huo Jun replied seriously:
"As long as there is enough food and grass, the last general can keep it all the time."
These days, Xiahou Yuan's losses are much more than Huo Jun's, and the defensive ability of the camp is different from that of the field after all.
This remark strengthened Huang Zhong's thoughts, and he said solemnly:
"Okay, then the Jingbei camp will be handed over to you, I will give you a supplementary soldier, you just need to hold this road Cao Army, if there is still Cao Army killed, immediately send an urgent report."
Huo Jun quickly understood Huang Zhong's intentions, and said:
"General rest assured, the end will be in place, and the Jingbei camp will be fine."
