In October of the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, Guan Yu, a general under the command of the king of Hanzhong, mobilized elite troops to besiege Fancheng, which was in danger and was frightened dozens of times a day.

Cao Cao, the king of Wei, sent twelve battalions of elite soldiers to defend Fancheng overnight.

All the trump cards that can be used in his hand, such as Xu Huang, Jiang Ji, Sima Yi, Man Chong, Cao Ren and other masters, are all used.

Even his brave and warlike yellow-bearded Cao Zhang was sent.

This is going to fight to the end with Guan Yu.

Lü Meng, the governor of Eastern Wu, took advantage of this opportunity to select elite soldiers to hide in the boats, and made the swayers travel day and night as white-clothed (1) merchants, pointing directly to the southern county of Jingzhou.

It is absolutely impossible to make people know about such a large military operation without camouflage.

So Lü Meng must take the risk!

If you want to surprise him, you can't let the enemy be on guard against him.

Since a large number of merchant ships are used as a disguise, then the people on this merchant ship cannot be equipped with heavy armor, if they can evade the enemy and successfully occupy the beacon tower, so that they can not send a signal to Guan Yu, then Lu Meng is lucky.

In case the other party detects his plot and shoots indiscriminately, the soldiers without armor will all become live targets.

He has always adhered to the life creed of "don't enter the tiger's den, get the tiger's son" and dare to take risks. Moreover, their people were in contact with Fu Shiren, and the other party's housekeeper was still collecting money.

It's just that the housekeeper said that the more he collects, the more General Fu Shiren will dare not come forward, for fear that the matter will be exposed.

This statement seems to be very reasonable.

Lu Meng looked at the torches on the beacon tower in front of him, and then looked at his own soldiers who were shivering from the cold, and encouraged the soldiers:

"Sons! Wealth and danger are sought! If my plan is successful, the last wish of the Metropolitan Governor of Zhou Gongjin can be realized in the hands of my generation! The Lord's reward is indispensable! ”

He didn't dare to say the following words, if we failed, we were destined to be an expedition with no way back.

"Report! The villain has something to convey to the big shopkeeper! ”

This is the seventh group of messengers who have come in small boats to report back.

Their code is that Lu Meng is the big treasurer. Wu Fan, Pan Zhang, Ma Zhong and others also have their own titles.

The men on the merchant ships did not wear armor alone, and they could not achieve the goal of confusing the enemy.

It is also necessary to take action in batches to make this commercial action appear reasonable.

However, such a division of troops increases the danger of the operation.

"Come up! Speak! ”

Lü Meng ordered someone to build a long log and connect the sampan.

The seventh group of envoys was happy: "The big shopkeeper, although all the sentry posts opposite are not allowed to increase troops and stop, but all the brothers follow the big shopkeeper's clever plan, and the lights of the seven beacon towers are extinguished......"

Wu Fan blew his hand with the hot air in his mouth, rubbed it a few times, stroked his palm and said happily: "I think it's a success!" The genius of the big shopkeeper, according to a certain opinion, compared to Zhou Gongjin, Lu Zijing is not far behind! ”

Lu Meng looked ahead lightly: "Don't be proud first, when all of us successfully land on the shore, it's not too late to be happy!" ”

He said in his heart, it seems that Guan Yu's guards who stayed in the beacon tower are quite alert.

All the sentry posts of the beacon tower are allowed to enter by merchant ships, but they are not allowed to exceed the rated number, otherwise it is forbidden to dock.

The other party is particularly strict.

But he still laughed in his heart: "So what? Wouldn't I, Lu Meng, still be able to use the division of troops to abolish your beacon tower so that it could not report the news to Guan Yu? ”

He even thought that when all my army landed, I would meet the beacon guard.

He will probably be tied up by us, haha.

Lü Meng's plan was to restrain all the guards set up by Guan Yu on the beacon tower in batches.

His people are all elites out of a hundred, as long as they can go to the beacon tower, with their martial arts, it doesn't matter if they don't have armor, they will definitely be able to solve the battle as quickly as possible.

Guan Suo thought that it was too troublesome to "collect all the restraints", and when these "merchants" of Eastern Wu, who had no long weapons and no armor, and only had short blades, endured the cold wind and entered the encirclement, they directly beheaded them.

The Guan Suo faction is also full of elite soldiers.

Jingzhou elite soldiers and Cao Wei's elite soldiers descended from a hundred battles.

He didn't say anything about the inspiring chicken soup.

Just one sentence: "Those who have killed thieves and have merit, all the money on their ships will be divided equally among the brothers." ”

Lu Meng does a full set of acts, since it is a merchant ship, if there is no goods and no money on it, it will be too.

So every ship has a lot of possessions.

Guan Suo laughed all.

Lu Meng thought that all of Guan Yu's actions were under his control.

In fact, every step of his actions is also under the control of Guan Suo.

All the people in each boat must be bare, otherwise the Jingzhou garrison will rush down and not let them stay on the shore.

Every beacon tower, kill all the Wu soldiers, immediately extinguish the fire, and divide the money on the spot.

The enthusiasm of the elite soldiers in Guan Suo's hands is high.

While dividing the money, he said: "It would be good if I could stay with the third prince in the future." ”

"Nonsense, who doesn't like the third son?"

"That's, follow him, eat fragrant and drink spicy, who doesn't want to?"

Lü Meng's reconnaissance ship could not approach the shore, but could only be judged from a distance by looking at the way the beacon tower extinguished the fire.

All the results were fake.

Everything they saw was just what Guan Suo wanted them to see.

The big names of Dongwu were full of confidence on the ship, and wanted to seize Jingzhou and attack Guan Yu.

No one knew that none of them could get a ticket back for this day trip to hell, not a single one.

Fortunately, Lu Xun didn't come with him this time.

When the beacon fires along the river were extinguished, Lu Meng's heart was pounding, and he ordered to move forward quickly!

His soldiers were so excited that although they didn't dare to make a noise, they all looked happy!

The cold wind blows to the bones in the middle of the night.

Some of Wu's soldiers are about to freeze wood.

When they were still a hundred meters away from the shore, thinking that victory was in sight, they suddenly heard countless roars that were enough to tear through the boundless night:

"Shoot the arrows!"

Arrows like locusts are shooting towards the Soochow fleet!

Some are rockets, and some arrows are highly poisonous.

I was afraid that Wu Bing would not be able to penetrate.

Lu Meng was shocked that one Buddha was born, and two Buddhas were nirvana!

Some of the hulls quickly caught fire, and Wu soldiers were burned to death, shot to death, and fell into the water and died.

Who knows, the big surprise that Guan Suo prepared for Lu Meng is not over yet!

In an instant, the beacon tower was lit up, and eighteen wolf smoke flew into the sky one after another.

The wolf smoke shines brighter in the night, and it is easier for Guan Yu to see it than during the day!

Lu Meng was so shocked that he beat his chest: "Oh my God! I'm in the middle of it! Since Jingzhou has been prepared, Guan Yu saw the wolf smoke and rushed back to help, which is worth it! ”

His risky plan is a time difference, if he occupies Jingzhou before Guan Yu returns to help, even if Guan Yu has the ability to reach the sky, it will definitely be a dead end.

Then all the families of his soldiers will fall, and it will be impossible to fight to the death for him.

As soon as the army's heart collapsed, Guan Yu's life was at the end.

But now the beacon is burning with wolf smoke!

This is what Lu Meng is most afraid of!

Yes!

Woo!

Belch!

……

Countless heart-rending screams and wails, mixed with the bitter cold wind, their own soldiers because they had no armor to protect themselves, were hit by rockets and poisoned arrows, and one was killed!

I wanted to catch the beacon guard and humiliate it!

Now it seems that people have been prepared for a long time, and they may have been waiting for this day for a long time!

Otherwise, where else would you find so many ready-made rockets and poison arrows?

"Retreat, or fight to the death?"

Now Lu Meng, the commander-in-chief of the whole army, is stuck in his thinking.

At the most critical moment of war, the competition is the willpower and judgment of the coach.

Retreat, the enemy will pursue to the death, and the elite soldiers of Soochow will suffer heavy casualties!

So if you take the beacon tower at all costs, and then persuade Fu Shiren, a miscellaneous person with poor character, will there be a chance to turn the tables?

Lu Meng suddenly had a terrible headache.

It's a hard decision.

Guan Suo was determined to make his thinking more confused, hiding in the shadows, smiling and asking questions to Lu Meng's urging system.

It doesn't matter if you can't recognize which one is him, as long as it's in sight anyway.

Just when Lu Meng's head was already a mess, he suddenly heard a voice coming from the sky:

"Answer the question! After the plan to cross the river in white was cracked, who did Lu Meng die at? ”

"A, Guan Suo."

"B, Sun Quan."

"C, Lu Xun."

"D, Cao Ren."

"E, dusk."
