After tens of thousands of Han troops arrived outside the city, Cao Xiu asked the scouts to explore almost every day.

And the content of each scout's reply is: "The thief army is in full swing to build siege equipment."

After knowing what tens of thousands of Han troops were doing recently, Cao Xiu strengthened Wancheng's defenses a little.

Just when Cao Xiu was full of courage in his heart and wanted to deal with the impact of the Han army, the messenger from Yecheng was brought to Cao Xiu by Wang Ji.

Perhaps because of the lack of troops, or because he wanted to encircle the three missing one, Mi Yang did not let tens of thousands of Han troops surround Wancheng.

This keeps Wancheng from being completely cut off from the outside world.

The messenger sent by Cao Ei, after seeing Cao Xiu, immediately told Cao Xiu about Cao Ei's arrangement.

For Cao Ei's other arrangements, Cao Xiu had a plan in his heart, so he was not happy.

It was only after hearing the messenger say that Cao Ei had already asked Sun Quan for help that Cao Xiu's face showed joy.

Cao Xiu couldn't help but take the generals to the north and bow to the north:

"Your Majesty is wise!"

This news not only made Cao Xiu happy, but also made other Wei generals in Wancheng really ignite hope in their hearts.

As we all know, Mi Yang brought only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to Jing this time.

From the observation of the past few days, it can be seen that I am afraid that most of the tens of thousands of Tiance troops have been taken outside Wancheng by Mi Yang.

As a result, the defense of the rest of Jingzhou will be empty.

And the last time Sun Wu attacked Hefei, he pulled out nearly 100,000 troops.

If Sun Wu can send troops this time, as long as Sun Quan is sincere in helping, he will also be able to pull out 100,000 elite soldiers.

Lu Xun led 100,000 elite soldiers to attack Jingzhou, and in order to keep Jingzhou from losing, it was impossible for Mi Yang not to retreat.

What a wonderful logical closed loop!

After seeing the re-excited look on the faces of the generals, Cao Xiu was overjoyed.

There is a high probability that Wancheng can be saved.

...

Since Wancheng's internal and external communication channels have not been completely severed, the spies sent by Lu Xun to Wancheng will naturally be able to send the latest news of Wancheng back to Lu Xun's hands.

In late August of the sixth year of Han Zhangwu, Lu Xun immediately summoned the generals to discuss the matter after receiving the latest news from Wancheng.

In this council, Lu Xun announced the edict that Sun Quan had given him.

In order to prevent the secret from being leaked before, except for Yu Xuan, Lu Xun never told others about Sun Quan's order to attack Jingzhou while he was weak.

Therefore, the generals of Soochow who participated in the parliament today learned of this matter for the first time.

At the beginning, when the generals of Eastern Wu saw that Sun Quan ordered them to take the initiative to attack Jingzhou, a look of embarrassment appeared on their faces almost instantly.

The defeat of the public security makes my heart palpitate!

Lu Xun had long expected this, so he told the generals the latest news he received from the public security.

"I still had some suspicions before, and with Mi Yang's deceit, his target may not be in the north.

However, according to the report from the spies, tens of thousands of Jingzhou elites are gathering under Wancheng, and the flag of Tiance outside Wancheng is flying high, which is enough to prove how firm Mi Yang's heart is to seize Wancheng."

Throughout the ages, famous generals have made good use of suspicious tactics.

For example, outside Yong'an City before, Lu Xun used the suspicious tactic of all the grass and trees.

But this time the situation in Wancheng was different.

Tens of thousands of Han troops camped several miles away from Wancheng without any cover, and tens of thousands of Han troops also practiced in the barracks every day.

The spies sent by Lu Xun had personally climbed the high mountains to observe, and confirmed that the tens of thousands of Han troops outside Wancheng were all elite soldiers.

Because the elite kind of murderous atmosphere is something that ordinary soldiers can't play no matter how they act.

Lu Xun would not rashly believe Mi Yang, but Lu Xun couldn't either, turning a blind eye to the facts in his eyes.

"Tens of thousands of Tiance elites are outside Wancheng, and Mi Yang must also be outside Wancheng!"

Lu Xun quickly made this inference in front of the generals.

Lu Xun's inference did not make the generals present disagree.

Let's not talk about the normal commanders, basically they will not give up the military power in their hands.

Even if Mi Yang has this idea, I'm afraid he can't find a suitable candidate in Jingzhou at present.

Tens of thousands of Tiance elites are the biggest talisman in Jingzhou, and there is no room for mistakes.

In addition, tens of thousands of Tiance elites are all on the front line, and they will be attacked by the enemy at any time.

Looking at the generals of Jingzhou, there are those who are famous.

But if you want to find a general among them who can make Mi Yang completely reassured and ensure that after he leaves the army, tens of thousands of Tiance troops will not make mistakes, that is nothing.

Because such a thing requires that general to have very outstanding military talent.

And outstanding military talent often needs to be manifested by great achievements.

Unless Mi Yang can predict the prophet.

But how is this possible?

Lu Xun's judgment made the generals of Eastern Wu feel a lot more settled.

If Mi Yang is not in the public security, then this battle is not impossible to fight.

But among the generals here, there was still one who raised his own concerns.

This person is the veteran Lu Dai.

Lu Dai got up and bowed to Lu Xun and said:

"General, although this is a good opportunity for our army to attack Jingzhou, everything is not done, and it is the best strategy for the whole army to think about defeat first.

Our army regards the Yangtze River as a natural danger, so that the thieves dare not commit it easily.

Now, if our army wants to attack public security, then after most of our army goes ashore, our army will no longer have the Yangtze River to rely on.

I hope that the general will not be able to guard against this."

After hearing Lu Dai's concerns, a smile appeared on Lu Xun's face.

Lu Xun turned to Lu Dai and asked, "Are you worried about our army's rear path?"

Seeing that Lu Xun pointed out his worries sharply, Lu Dai nodded.

And Lu Dai's worries also caused all the generals to have a worried look on their faces.

But what Lu Dai could think of, how could Lu Xun not think of it?

Saying that, Lu Xun gestured with his eyes to Wu Cang, who was among the ranked Wu generals.

Wu Cangzi Kong Xiu, originally in Jiangdong was just a small county order.

Later, when Lu Xun was inspecting the border, Wu Cang offered Lu Xun a clever plan, which was valued by Lu Xun and gradually promoted.

And the clever plan that Wu Cang offered to Lu Xun before could relieve Lu Dai's worries.

After receiving Lu Xun's signal, Wu Cang ordered someone to bring in a map from outside the tent.

When the map was hung behind Lu Xun, General Wu quickly noticed that the map was depicting the junction of the two states of Jingyang.

And on the waters of the Yangtze River in the map, there are places highlighted with red pens.

Then Wu Cang stretched out his hand and pointed to the red pen marks on the map and said:

"These places are all dangerous places on the Yangtze River, and they are also the places where Jingzhou's naval army must pass through to attack eastward as it goes down the river."

"Last year, I suggested to the general that when the water in the Yangtze River is low in winter, I should order someone to build chains and put them into the river.

In addition, where the chains are placed, our army can place large iron vertebrae at the bottom of the river.

In this way, even if the Japanese thieves and sailors want to attack our country downstream, the enemy's warships will be blocked by chains and iron cones and will not be able to cross.

The iron lock across the river was originally used to protect the community, but today it can be used to protect the rear road of our army."

As soon as Wu Cang's words fell, all the generals present showed joyful smiles on their faces.

That's a great trick!

This trick is used well, even if the Jingzhou Navy is successful, it may not be able to pass the Yangtze River smoothly, not to mention that the current Jingzhou Navy is still a half-hanger?

After perceiving the smiles on the faces of the generals present, Lu Xun also asked with a smile:

"Do you think that the iron cable across the river can make our army's rear road worry-free?

And can we make our army recruit public security again?"

Lu Xun's words sounded like inquiry, but there was a strong confidence in his tone.

He took it all into account

, this is not a war?

That, of course, is impossible.

The response of the generals proves this point.

The next moment, dozens of Wu generals all got up, bowed deeply to Lu Xun and said in unison:

"I am willing to follow the general and fight the public security again!"

The voices of the Wu generals are magnificent, as if they can swallow mountains and rivers.

Seeing this scene, Lu Xun only felt very satisfied.

"Command the three armies, send troops to the public security!"
