Lu Kai's pressure is very great.

Over the years, as the status of the clan uncle Lu Xun in Eastern Wu has become higher and higher, and he has been more and more reused by Emperor Wu Sun Quan, the Lu family, one of the four great families in Jiangdong, has also successively sent the children of the clan to the office.

Lu Kai is one of them.

Don't look at Lu Kai's generation lower than Lu Xun, but in fact, Lu Kai is not young anymore, and now he is in his thirties, and in this era, he can be regarded as middle-aged.

And Lu Kai is still one of the children of the Lu family, it is rare to be the same as Lu Xun, although a person who is both civil and military is not as perverted as Lu Xun, but he is also a talent in the state and county, and now he still has the ability to guard a public security city.

Zhu Ran also recognized Lu Kai's ability very much, so he repeatedly appointed Lu Kai. Last time, it was used to ensure his own back road, but this time he was directly arranged to guard the public security.

But the problem is that no matter how strong Lu Kai's ability is, when he faces the siege of 30,000 Shu troops, he has no good way.

Not to mention, the one who led the army on the other side was only higher than Lu Kai in terms of ability, not lower than him, and in terms of fame. Although his reputation is a little worse, he is still only higher than Lu Kai.

Lu Kai only had 5,000 men in his hands, guarding a public security city that had just been repaired from the damage of the last war, facing the siege of 30,000 troops. It's too hard.

As for Shi Bao, he crossed the river with an army of 30,000 troops, traveled all the way, and soon arrived at the city of Gong'an.

After arriving at the public security city, Shi Bao was not in a hurry, and began to arrange siege tactics unhurriedly.

After the siege was completed, Shi Bao not only did not rush to attack the city, but left Zhou Tai and Li Qiu to preside over the attack on the public security, but he personally took 10,000 soldiers to the south of the public security city.

When Lu Kai saw that the Shu thieves had divided their troops and 10,000 soldiers went to the south, he suddenly chuckled in his heart.

This is a typical siege tactic for reinforcements, the appetite of Shu thieves, it seems that it is not limited to a public security city!

What made Lu Kai even more worried was that after seeing the battle between the two armies on the Yangtze River, Lu Kai took the initiative to gather his troops, retreated to Gong'an City, and at the same time sent a letter for help in the direction of Wuling County.

In other words, Wuling County, south of the public security, will really send reinforcements to help.

This is if the leading generals are a little careless. This is not a threat to the public security, and Wuling County will also be threatened by the Shu army's soldiers.

Now Lu Kai can only pray that the general who led the troops to the rescue from Wuling County is not a reckless man with only muscles in his head.

Taishou of Wuling County is the son of Lu Fan, a famous minister of Eastern Wu. Although Lu Kai didn't know much about the ability of this son of a famous minister, if he had half the ability of his father, he probably wouldn't send a simple-minded guy to help him.

Lu Yi, who was nagged by Lu Kai, is indeed not low in ability, even if he is not as good as his father, but it is not too bad. After all, he was also one of the famous ministers in the late period of Eastern Wu.

But the problem is that at this time, Lu Ju was only in his early thirties, and he had never had any opportunity to train, and this time he was appointed as the Taishou of Wuling, or Sun Quan was promoted by Sun Quan in the face of his father Lu Fan, who died a few years ago.

Therefore, the current Lu Ju is not the later famous minister of Eastern Wu, and there are many barbarians in Wuling County and they are not subject to control, so Lu Ju does not dare to send too many reinforcements to support the public security.

Although he knew the importance of public security, Lu Ju scraped together for a long time before he could barely get together 5,000 soldiers and horses.

Because of the lack of actual combat experience, Lu Yi also had self-knowledge, in order not to miss things, he did not lead the troops to save the public security, but arranged for Ding Feng, the governor of Wuling County, to lead the army.

Ding Feng is Ding Feng's younger brother has a saying, it is hard to imagine that in their family, the parents call their names, and they can tell who they are.

All in all, although Ding Feng's ability is not as good as his brother's, his experience is similar to that of his brother, and he is also a general who has experienced battlefield battles and has risen step by step.

In this way, Lu Yi sent Ding Feng to lead 5,000 people to save the public security.

And then bar. was ambushed halfway by Shibud.

One thing to say, Ding Feng is not the kind of brainless reckless man, although the two brothers of the Ding family have not read much, they have their own set of understandings of the military formation.

But the problem is that Ding Feng really didn't expect that he would encounter an ambush by the enemy army before he left the boundary of Wuling County with his troops.

Yes, Shi Bao, a bold man, directly took 10,000 soldiers and ran to the vicinity of Lingyang County in Wuling County to set up an ambush, and he did not alarm any defenders of Wuling County.

Although this thing sounds incredible, it is extremely normal in the current Wuling County.

Wuling County has always been restless, and only when Xi Hong was in charge of Wuling County, because of his good personal relationship with the leader of the Wuxi Barbarians, Shamoke, the barbarians were separated for a few years, and no matter who came to be the home of this Wuling County, it was not very stable.

Even Li Qiu only relied on the connections left by Xi Hong in his early years and his own excellent military strength to barely suppress Wulingman.

Now that the Eastern Wu army hastily occupied Wuling County, although Lu Ju's personal ability is good, he has no connections in this area, and Wuling County is a place where there are more mountains than land, and the Eastern Wu soldiers brought by Wuxi Man are busy watching the Wuxi Barbarians in various places to prevent them from rioting, I really didn't think that there would be enemies coming over from the public security side.

Therefore, Ding Feng was not wronged at all when he was ambushed.

Shi Bao grasped the current predicament of Wuling County, and boldly went deep into the ambush, and directly beat a handful of Eastern Wu reinforcements inside Wuling County, and less than 2,000 of the 5,000 reinforcements fled back.

The absence of reinforcements from the public security is not the most troublesome thing, and now the most troublesome thing in front of Wuling County has come - Shu thieves may penetrate into the interior of Wuling County at any time, and Lingyang is less than eighty miles away from Wuling County and Wuling County.

Lu Ju no longer has the heart to think about how to suppress the Wuling barbarians, if he lets Shi Bao continue to go deeper, he will directly attack Wuling County, the county seat where he is located, Wuling County may be lost at any time.

For this reason, while drawing troops from various places to come back to consolidate the defense, Lu Ju sent a letter of request for help to Lingling and Changsha counties, hoping that the two places would come to help quickly.

At this time, Shibud also fell into indecision.

The purpose of going to the public security is actually very clear.

Don't look at Shi Bao in Jiangling over the years, the only reputation that has spread is still a womanizer, but with a strategic vision, Shi Bao has always been very high.

Although there is no sense of existence in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, in history, this figure is on a par with Deng Ai, if Deng Ai did not make great achievements in destroying the country later, the gap between the two has never been too big.

Therefore, Shi Bao is very clear about the strategic purpose that Dahan wants to achieve now.

Zhang Xi's dispatch of troops to the public security was on the one hand in the hope of regaining a foothold on the south bank of the Yangtze River and preparing for a future counterattack on Jingnan, and on the other hand, it was also to put enough pressure on Soochow and gain more bargaining chips for the future negotiations between the two companies.

However, this does not include the direct capture of Wuling County.

The meaning of attacking a public security city and directly capturing the entire Wuling County is completely different.

Capturing Gong'an City and taking the stronghold of Gangneung's defense was not an unacceptable thing for Soochow.

However, if the entire Wuling County was captured, and Bingfeng directly threatened Lingling and Changsha, it would trigger a chain reaction, leading to the resumption of war between Eastern Wu and the Han Dynasty.

This is a move that may affect the balance of power between the two countries, and no matter how bold Shi Bao is, he will not dare to touch it easily.

After all, Shi Bao also knew that the current Han and Eastern Wu were not ready to fight a big battle.

But right? One thing to say, the current Wuling County is really easy to capture.

As long as Shi Bao sends another 10,000 people from the public security side, and by the way, he will contact Wuxi Man again, promising some benefits and letting them start a riot, and this Wuling County will be at his fingertips.

Even, if Lingling County concocts it in the same way, it is not impossible to take it.

It's not that hard.

After all, over the years, the Han Dynasty has been in Wuling, and the foundation of human governance in the two counties of Lingling is really good, whether it is the local Han people or the Wuxi barbarian race, they are quite obedient to the rule of the Han Dynasty.

In comparison, the turtles in Soochow really want connections but no connections, no policies, and the governance time is not long, and the people's hearts are not attached.

Once the two counties of Wuling and Lingling are really captured. Whether or not it will cause a war between the two countries, at least his official position of Shibao will definitely be mentioned again.

It is not even impossible to be crowned a marquis by merit.

So the stone bud is really tangled.

If you fight to defeat the two counties and recover the credit of the lost land, Shibao Fenghou is a possible high-ranking official at your fingertips.

But it will offend Zhang Xi and even Zhuge Liang because of this, and even affect the national policy, I am afraid that in the future, Shi Bao will not have greater development within the Han Dynasty.

If Zhang Xi's strategy is implemented and the army returns to capture the public security, there is no risk, and his career will be protected by Zhang Xi in the future, but it is too slow to do it in one step.

In the end, it is for the sake of his high-ranking officials, or is it to implement Zhang Xi's strategy and think about his own future.

Shibud is an ambitious person, but equally, he will also be a smart person.

Compared with one step in place, and then not an inch of progress, Shi Bud thinks that it is better to use the smallest risk to exchange himself for the greatest benefit.

Therefore, Shi Bao ordered the whole army to occupy Lingyang and coerce Wuling County to govern Wuling County.

Lao Tzu is not leaving at the border of Wuling County.
