"Report!"

At this time, a soldier suddenly came to report outside the door: "Eldest son, General Shen, Zhou Yu has sent someone to deliver a letter again." ”

"Bring it in."

Shen Chen sat cross-legged on the seat and did not move.

When the soldier came in, he handed the letter to Liu Qi, who was sitting on the main seat, and Liu Qi hurriedly read it and immediately handed it to Shen Chen: "It's Sun Quan and Zhou Yu's letter." ”

Shen Chen took it and took a look.

Sun Quan said in the letter that Zhang Hong was his teacher and hoped that Shen Chen would not hurt him, and then told him that they had captured Huang Zu, and if he could, he was willing to give up his father's revenge and exchange Huang Zu for Zhang Hong.

Zhou Yu's letter was still full of threats, telling him that if it were not for Wu Hou to save the lives of Zhang Hong's father and son, he would never let him go, and now if he agreed to their conditions and exchanged Zhang Hong's father and son for Huang Zu, he could not attack for fifteen days.

"Huh."

Shen Chen smiled and said: "It seems that this Zhang Hong still has a lot of weight in Sun Quan's heart, in order to save Zhang Hong, he can not even avenge the murder of his father." But presumably it is also a move to buy people's hearts, if he really succeeds, the Jiangdong scholars will definitely serve him to the death. ”

"yes."

Liu Qi sighed: "This Sun Quan is still very courageous, and he is also the appearance of a bright master." When the people of Jiangdong heard that he could temporarily put aside the revenge of killing his father like General Huang for his subordinates, I am afraid they would be grateful to Dade for him. ”

Shen Chen muttered: "It's not bad for Sun Quan to intervene in it, so that it can buy us enough time and make it more convenient for me to make plans." ”

Liu Qi asked, "Ah Chen, what do you want to do?" ”

Shen Chen pointed to the north side of the map on the table and said: "It's very simple, I want to make Zhou Yu suspect that I plan to cross Jingxi, kill Ben'an Wu, Jing County, Xuancheng, kill all the way to Wuhu, and then go from Wuhu to Zhongjiang to Zhenze, so that he thinks I want to attack Qian Tang!" ”

"This"

Liu Qi was dumbfounded, only feeling that this plan was simply fanciful and completely unexpected.

You must know that although Qingshui connects Jinghu Lake, Jinghu Lake can go all the way to Wuhu County through Jingshui, and at the same time enter Zhenze from Zhongjiang, another tributary of the river, and finally flow into the East China Sea.

But this plan is to go deep into the hinterland of Jiangdong and run to Sun Quan's lair, which is too risky!

How can this work?

However, Shen Chen's face remained unchanged, he didn't feel anything wrong at all because of the boldness of this plan, and he was still secretly thinking about it in his heart.

The geographical environment of the Han Dynasty was somewhat different from that of later generations, for example, the Qingyi River originated in Yixian County, flowed into Taiping Lake from Yixian County, and then went north to the northwest through Wuhu City and finally into the Yangtze River.

But in the Han Dynasty, the river flowed into the Zhongjiang River, a tributary of the Yangtze River.

The Zhongjiang River originates from the Yangtze River, and according to the "Water Jing Note", this river is a very large medium-sized river, which flows from the Wuhu section of the Yangtze River to the east, through Yongping and Yangxian, and flows into Zhenze.

Therefore, in other words, the Qingyi River did not go northwest after going north at that time, but went east.

Later, due to some reasons, the Yangtze River no longer poured into the Zhongjiang River, the Zhongjiang River water system was cut off, and the Qingyi River entered the Yangtze River along the original Zhongjiang River.

With this basic condition, the waterway that could not be taken by future generations could be realized in the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, the whole route arranged by Shen Chen was also simple, following the Qingtong River in later generations, going south to the Taiping Lake, then going north and then entering the Zhongjiang River along the Qingyi River, and finally going east from the Zhongjiang River to the Taihu Lake Basin, rushing to Qiantang.

This plan sounds very bold and unrealistic, but it can be implemented in the Han Dynasty because the Han Dynasty has one more Zhongjiang than later generations!

It's just that Liu Qi still felt risky and persuaded: "Ah Chen, this plan is too dangerous, isn't this sending you to death?" ”

Shen Chen said with a smile: "So I plan to send someone to tell General Liu Pan and ask him to send an army from Yixian County to Haiyang immediately and go east along the Zhejiang River." ”

"Report!"

As he was talking, someone from outside the door came in and said, "Eldest son, General Shen, there are Shanyue people outside the county government who want to see you." ”

"Let them in."

Shen Chen said.

"Yui."

The soldier immediately went out again.

After a while, two Shanyue people dressed in black linen cloth and completely different from the Central Plains robes came in.

When Shen Chen saw one of them, he got up and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Chen Zongshuai." ”

This Chen Zongshuai's name is Chen Dang, and he is the younger brother of Chen Fu, the leader of the Lin Lishan Shanyue in the south of Yi County.

The leader of Shanyue is called handsome, handsome, zongshuai, and great, so to call the leader of Shanyue, you can call a certain handsome or a certain zongshuai.

Chen Dang said in fluent Chinese: "General Shen, I came here this time to tell you something. ”

"Could it be Yunxi?"

Shen Chen asked.

Yunxi is the Qiupu River in Chizhou, Anhui Province in later generations, connecting the Yangtze River and Yixian County.

He had this conjecture as early as when Chen Servant Chen Dang's brother took him to find Yunxi in the northwest of Yixian.

Chen Dang nodded and said: "Yes, these days we have sent people to guard the banks of Yunxi, and sure enough, we found that Jiangdong's ships were coming along Yunxi to Yixian, and my eldest brother asked me to inform General Shen immediately." ”

"Hmm"

Shen Chen muttered: "As I expected, Zong Shuai, I have more than 200,000 stone grain and grass in Lingyang City, I want to use this grain and grass to hire you, and the ancestor Zong Shuai They do something, maybe they can do it?" ”

Chen Dang's face was suddenly happy, but then he waved his hand again and again: "It's not okay for us to help deal with Jiangdong, they are strong, and we don't dare to provoke them easily." ”

Shen Chen smiled: "It's not so troublesome, you just need to do something, this matter should be very simple for you." ”

"Really?"

Chen Dang hurriedly asked, "Isn't it a war with the Jiangdong people?" ”

"Absolutely not."

"Well, I promise you."

"So, so, so, so, so."

"Okay."

"Thank you, Zongshuai Chen."

"You're welcome."

"Zong Shuai will go to rest first, and then I will arrange for someone to go to Yixian with you."

"Okay."

Chen Dang clenched his fists and left.

Shen Chen arranged for someone to leave them a place to stay.

After he left, Liu Qi hurriedly came up and said, "Oh no, Ah Chen, the back road has been cut off." ”

"It doesn't matter."

Shen Chen smiled and waved his hand: "Everything is being planned." ”

"What the hell is your plan?"

Liu Qi was about to die, jumped to his feet and said, "Tell me first." ”

Shen Chen pointed to the map and said, "Didn't I say it just now?" I plan to make Zhou Yu suspect that I have attacked Jiangdong by surprise. ”

"And then?"

Liu Qi asked.

Shen Chen said: "If the eldest son is Zhou Yu and suspects that I am going to attack Jiangdong, then what will you do?" ”

"This."

Liu Qi hesitated and scratched his head: "I will send someone to chase after me?" ”

Shen Chen shook his head and said, "No, Zhou Yu is not so. Uh."

"Nothing?"

Liu Qi looked at him suspiciously, he seriously doubted that what Shen Chen was going to say was not so stupid.

"Not that smart!"

Shen Chen changed his words and said: "Zhou Yu and Lu Su must suspect that I have another purpose, so they will definitely move forward slowly with the main force first, and at the same time order the army of Yixian County to go north along the river to search for our footprints." ”

Liu Qi thought for a while and said, "Since they have cut off our retreat in Yixian, why do they want to go north?" Wouldn't it be nice to chase the main force directly? ”

"Because General Liu Pan's army is here."

Shen Chen said with a smile: "The art of war has clouds, and the virtual is real. There can never be many troops in Yixian, and when General Liu Pan's army comes, they will also be afraid that I will pretend to go north, but in fact go south, so that the army in Yixian County will be attacked by us, so the best way is to move to the middle at the same time with the combined force of the north and south, and attack our department! ”

Now the situation of the entire battlefield is that everyone is active in the Huangshan Mountain Range in the eastern hills, and the army from north to south is the position of Zhou Yu's department, Shen Chen's department, Lü Meng's department, and Liu Pan's department.

And Shen Chen's troops were the most changeable troops, because his rear was Taiping Lake, and he could run directly from Taiping Lake to the north from another waterway to Jiangdong.

So the question Zhou Yu has to consider now is, what kind of way will Shen Chen choose to leave Lingyang?

Two roads.

One goes south to Yixian, and then goes to Nanchang.

The other was to go north to Wuhu and attack Qiantang in Jiangdong.

If Zhou Yu guessed that Shen Chen was going north, then he would inevitably mobilize Lu Meng's troops.

Because he guessed that if Shen Chen went north, he would definitely mobilize an army to chase him north, and if Shen Chen chose to go south, Lu Meng's troops would be very dangerous, and they would face a two-sided attack from Shen Chen and Liu Pan.

Therefore, it is not as steady as Zhou Yu and Lu Meng attacking Shen Chenlai on both sides.

But there's a problem.

That is, what if Zhou Yu didn't guess that Shen Chen would go north, but thought he would go south?

Liu Qi also thought of this and asked the key to this question, he said: "But where are we going?" Is it to the south? ”

"Yes, once the army in Yixian is transferred to the north, we can take advantage of the weakness and go south to Yixian."

"Then what if Zhou Yu sees through our plan and chases south?"

"That's why we're going to lie to him with suspicion."

Shen Chen said in a deep voice: "This is the ultimate goal of the whole strategy, if he sees through the strategy, then there is no way." ”

"And what are we going to do then?"

Liu Qi said in shock.

Shen Chen said with a smile: "It's okay, even if we are recognized, we have a way to retreat, and we have the help of the Shanyue people, once the Jiangdong Army of Yixian County is not mobilized, but continues to garrison Yixian, Zhou Yu will chase, and then we can abandon the big boat and go south to Shexian to join General Liu Pan." ”

"That's right."

Liu Qi breathed a sigh of relief, it was good to have a way out.

Shen Chen said again: "Now we have to start thinking of ways to arrange suspicious soldiers and deceive Zhou Yu." ”

Liu Qi asked, "Then how can we fool Zhou Yu?" ”

Shen Chen laughed and said, "Tomorrow, I will send Qu Dang north to attack Anwu, Jingxian, and Xuancheng." If the plan succeeds and the Jiangdong army in Yixian is transferred north, the prince will immediately urge the Shanyue people to do this."

Liu Qi nodded again and again when he heard this: "Okay, good, good." ”

"Ask Childe to do it."

Shen Chen arched his hand and said: "Whether this time I can fight to raise my Jingzhou divine power depends on whether the eldest son can complete it within the time limit." ”

"Leave it to me!"

Liu Qi got up seriously and saluted Shen Chen, "I will definitely not let down Ah Chen!" ”

"Thank you, Childe."

Shen Chen bent down and saluted.

"I'm leaving."

Liu Qi got up and went out without hesitation.

When he stepped out of the hall, Shen Chen got up and turned his head to look at his back as he left.

It was only at this moment that he sat down on the table with a sigh of relief.

This strategy can be described as quite energy-consuming, and it took more than 10 days to wander around Taiping Lake, Yixian, Jing County and other places.

The design was made by observing the topography, changes in waterways, the width of the river and the current speed of the water.

So now the whole person is very tired, and the spirit is also consumed a lot.

But it's all worth it.

Because of his plan, it can be said that the time and place are favorable.

The day was two months of heavy rain, and light rain was still falling in the Huangshan area, causing the water level of the rivers to soar everywhere, making it easier for boats.

The geographical advantage is that the mountainous terrain of Huangshan Mountain is steep and easy to ambush, and they are the team that withdraws the troops, so it is better to ambush and pursue the troops.

People and nature are the local Shanyue people who have a grudge against Jiangdong and choose to help them instead of Jiangdong.

So in such a situation, the plan designed is absolutely seamless, with almost no flaws, and it will definitely give Zhou Yu a huge surprise.

It's just that Zhou Yu and Lu Su are by no means good, Lu Su is already difficult to deal with, and Zhou Yu, who is a little stronger than him, can he see through it?

Shen Chen sat cross-legged on the seat, raised his head and looked at the ceiling and thought carefully.

According to his guess, the person who could see through this terrible scheme was either extremely stupid or extremely clever.

It's stupid to the extreme, it's easy to understand, it's what kind of B gram master, don't play cards according to the routine, let your plan change, I will be reckless to the end, forcing Shen Chen to take the trail.

It is much more complicated to be extremely smart, and both sides need to see each other and fight wits and courage to show the supreme wisdom of human beings.

So Zhou Yu and Lu Su, are they stupid to the extreme or smart to the extreme?

I think it's the latter.

But are they really that smart?

Shen Chen couldn't help but guess.

His own strategy can be described as a chain of chains, one life two two give birth to three, three give birth to all things.

It's nothing to see through the first strategy, because there's still to come.

And the second strategy is seen through and it is nothing, because there is a third strategy later.

So interlocking, it can be called a chain plan!

If Zhou Yu could see through all the strategies, he wouldn't know what to do.

Thinking that when the time comes, if they really reach that point, he can only sigh "Both Shengchen, He Shengyu".

But fortunately, he is already invincible.

Even if the plan is discovered, the two sides will only fight to a draw at most, and there will be no losses.

Shen Chen thought to himself.

Yes.

In his opinion, whether the other party is extremely stupid or extremely smart, the two sides will end up with a tie at most, and no one will suffer.

Because he has a way out.

Once it is recognized, just take the trail back to Nanchang, there is no need to entangle with Zhou Yu.

There are many tributaries of Taiping Lake.

The two largest rivers are Qingshui and Jingshui, that is, the Qingtong River and the Qingyi River in later generations.

The Jiangxia Navy has four large ships and four ships, which can sail in medium-sized rivers such as Qingshui and Jingshui.

But the river can't.

So if his strategy was discovered by Zhou Yu, the worst result would be that they would give up taking the big river and choose other small rivers to go south.

What's more important is that the relationship between the Shanyue people, who inhabit the mountains and forests, and Jiangdong is extremely poor, and the two sides fight every day.

With the support of the people of Yamagoe, it is natural to be able to know all the terrain around you.

According to his leadership of the local Shanyue guide, it has been ascertained that in addition to the largest Qingyi River, there are seven or eight rivers of all sizes such as Yangxi River, Puxi River, Machuan River, and Wuxi River in the south of Taiping Lake.

These rivers can all go south to one place - Taiping County.

Although there was no Taiping County in the Han Dynasty, this place was the territory of the Shanyue people, and you can go to She County from here.

In this way, with the help of the Shanyue people, even if his strategy fails, he can retreat calmly and without any losses.

It's just that.

It took him so long to lay out the series of tricks, and it was designed under the right time, place and people, if he was really recognized, then his young and handsome little face didn't know where to put it.

And more importantly, Zhou Yu, who has seen through this kind of strategy, is probably far from what humans can imagine, even if he is wise and close to the demon, it is nothing more than that.

So Shen Chen kept thinking about this question in his heart.

Will he really be able to see through it?

Will I win this battle or will you win this battle?

Presumably, that time is the time when the wisdom of the human stars shines!

Shen Chen's deep gaze looked to the north.

Zhou Yu, Lu Su!

I'm looking forward to your show.

With such a big advantage, will you be able to take my last resort?

Recommend good brother Luo Xiaoming, the wind rises at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Hair like a leek, cut back to life, head like a chicken, cut and resonant!

Officials don't have to be fearful, and small people are never to be taken lightly!

In troubled times, people are like ants, and life is like mustard.

The torrent of the times carries the fate of individuals.

The fate of being held hostage by the times can only rise and fall with the times.

The situation in the world has collapsed, and the once powerful Ming Empire is now in the twilight of the West Mountain.

Border soldier Chen Wang raised his head and stared at the shattered Shenzhou, and clenched the Yanling knife on his waist.
