When Sun Quan heard that Lu Su had a plan, he clenched his fists and said, "I would like to hear about it." ”

Lu Su said: "Although Liu Qi collected troops to settle the people, but Guan Yu's army is in Xuchang, the Central Plains Cao army will not dare to act rashly, but the Fourth Route Army can be sent out to take Xuzhou: the lord led the army out of Hefei to besiege Shouchun, Guangling and then divided an army to the north along the coast, and the navy army responded from Huaishui to the east and west, which can make the Cao army tired of running around to deal with it, and then send Lujiang soldiers from Shiting to attack Shouchun. Just break the enemy all the way to the Central Plains! ”

"That's a great plan!" Sun Quan was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Xiahoudun went north, and Cao Ren was the only one in the Cao army, and it was enough to fight alone!" Huang Gongfu and Ziming led an army to Guangling, and my brothers Sun Yu and Sun Jiaotong led the army to Shiting and designed to attack Xuzhou. ”

Lu Xun frowned and said: "Since the governor crossed the sea to the north, Cao's army has strengthened the coastal defense, and it is difficult for the soldiers and horses of Guangling to go north. ”

Sun Quan was displeased and said: "Sima Yi is just a yellow-mouthed son, can An see through my plan?" ”

Lu Meng groaned slightly, hugged his fists and said: "Although Lu Dudu's plan is wonderful, it is not enough to win by surprise. ”

After Sun Quan persuaded himself to learn from Lu Meng, he found that he had grown up very fast and was deeply recognized by Lu Su, and his eyes were immediately full of expectations: "Ziming is okay!" ”

Lu Meng said: "If you can't hold on to the Cao army today, the lord can pretend to be angry, forcibly recruit the people into the army, and make a decisive battle, which can not only win the trust of the Cao army, but also arouse public resentment." Secretly selected a thousand sailors to pretend to be merchants and ordinary people, all dressed in white clothes to cross the sea to the north to avoid chaos, but hid the elite soldiers in the ship and attacked Donghai County. To the north can meet with the governor, to the west can be planned to respond to the army of the lord to attack Shouchun, if the Lujiang soldiers and horses march smoothly, it is easy to take Xuzhou. ”

Lu Su praised his head and said: "This is a plan to secretly cross Chen Cang!" The four-way army, virtual and real, forgive Sima Yi has the ability to reach the sky, and it is difficult to predict this plan. ”

Lu Xun frowned on the side, this plan looks really exquisite, even if Cao Jun saw through the Lujiang soldiers and horses, he didn't expect that there would be a strange army, but he always felt that something was wrong, and he didn't know where to start for a while, seeing that Sun Quan was already dissatisfied with himself, he had to bow his head and remain silent.

Sun Quan stood up excitedly, stroked his palms and laughed: "The people are really my sons!" ”

Lu Meng said: "Guangling soldiers and horses are strange soldiers, if you use a respected person, Cao Ren must be vigilant, the last general is willing to choose a young general, to go to Guangling on the grounds of reorganizing the army and caring for the people, you can be safe." ”

Sun Quan was extremely satisfied with Lu Meng, nodded and said: "Gongjin has crossed the sea to the north, and Cao Jun will not expect my old tricks to be repeated. ”

Lu Meng thanked him, Sun Quan ordered Lu Su to pass the order, three days later, the army was dispatched, land and water and attacked Shouchun, Lu Xun levied money and grain from all over Huainan, and made a decisive battle.

Hefei Wu army dispatched, Tanma had already reported Shouchun, Cao Ren hurriedly gathered the crowd to discuss countermeasures: "Sun Quan since he arrived in Hefei, he has been afraid for several months, this time the army is coming, there must be a plan, what do you think?" ”

Jiang Jiyan said: "This must be because Sun Quan heard that Zhou Yu was attacking Qingzhou, and he was eager to go north to rendezvous, and the morale of the thief army was high, so there was no need to attack, only to arm." ”

Cao Ren frowned, and sighed lightly: "Today, the Central Plains is in chaos, fighting everywhere, and in the long run, it is tantamount to sitting still?" Do you have a good plan to defeat the enemy? ”

Sima Yi's eyes were deep, and he said slowly: "Sun Quan has not moved for several months, and he suddenly sent troops, I am afraid that it is not for the war in Qingzhou, I expect that there must be tricks." ”

In the past two months, Sima Yi saw through Wu Jun's plan several times, won Cao Ren's trust, and hurriedly asked, "Zhong Da can see what's strange?" ”

Sima Yi's sharp gaze swept over the map, and said: "The Wu army is advancing by land and water, with the intention of containing the army of the governor, there must be a surprise army to respond, looking at the situation in Jiangdong today, only the soldiers and horses of Lujiang can be mobilized, and I expect that after the attack on Shouchun from Shiting." ”

"Oh?" Cao Ren's eyes were slightly cold, and he said in a deep voice: "The blue eyes want to cut off a certain way back?" ”

Jiang Ji exclaimed: "Shouchun soldiers and horses have no time to divide the troops, isn't it dangerous?" ”

Sima Yi said with a smile: "The terrain in the Qianshan area is complicated, and the two places of rocks and trailers are extremely dangerous. ”

Cao Ren said: "This is going to ambush, the generals who are not ready to respond will not be competent, Sun Quan is attacking in a big way, all the generals need to work together to defend the city, Wen Lie wants to take charge of the water army to garrison Huaishui, who else can take this big task?" ”

Sima Yi hugged his fists and said: "If your subordinates recommend one person, you can keep the stone pavilion safe." ”

Cao Ren hurriedly asked, "Who?" ”

Sima Yi said: "This person's surname is Wang Mingji, the word Boyu, is a native of Donglai Qucheng, although he is in his early twenties, he has both civil and military skills, and he is talented and virtuous. Half a month ago, the grain was transported to Shouchun, and I saw that its accounts were clear, the troops were well deployed, and there was the talent of a general, which could be of great use. ”

Cao Ren immediately ordered someone to send Wang Ji to come, seeing that the face of the person who came was immature, but his demeanor was calm, and he asked some military affairs and tactics, all of them answered like a stream, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and was immediately promoted to General Anping, and led 5,000 elite soldiers to Shiting to deploy defense.

Sima Yi and Wang Ji went to the camp to order troops, and told them about the deployment of troops, although they were arranged one by one, they were still a little uneasy in their hearts, and they always felt that there was something missing, so they went to the city alone to inspect and relax.

All the generals went to prepare, Cao Ren sat alone in the hall, and the empty hall was just like his state of mind at the moment, depressed and deserted.

Looking at the sunshine gradually slanting westward, he sighed loudly: "Liu Qi ......"

Thinking about the destruction of Yuan Shao and Dinghebei back then, half of the country was in hand, what a beautiful scenery the Cao family was, there were many talents under his command, and there were countless civil and military forces, but since he was preparing to take Jingzhou, when he met Liu Qi, he took a sharp turn, and he was simply the nemesis of the Cao family.

In the first battle of Nanyang, not only did Cao's army lose his troops and lose his generals, his vitality was greatly damaged, and he and Xiahoudun were even more humiliated by being captured.

Cao Pi is young, not enough to convince the government and the opposition, Cao Cao went away to Mobei, there is no news so far, the hearts of the people in the DPRK and China are fluctuating, the morale of the army is low, who has the ability to turn the tide?

Liu Qi is unstoppable, Sun Quan took advantage of the fire to rob, and the current situation even Cao Ren feels powerless, not to mention Cao Pi, who was in charge of the government for the first time?

If Zhang Liao is exchanged for Shouchun, it may have a miraculous effect!

A thought just flashed in his mind, and suddenly the defenders came in to tell him that the vanguard soldiers and horses of Eastern Wu had arrived at the city and were calling for battle.

Cao Ren was neatly draped, went to the city to watch, and saw that it was the veteran Huang Gai, and scolded: "Jiangdong rats, capricious, and so on repeatedly against their fate, why don't you be ashamed?" ”

Huang Gai said angrily: "Cao's anti-thief, the world will be punished, the old man will take your dog's life today!" ”

Before the words fell, he took a bow and arrow on his back and shot an arrow at the head of the city, like a meteor catching the moon, almost hitting Cao Ren's face, startling the defenders to hurriedly raise their shields to protect them.

Cao Xiu was furious, opened his bow and shot arrows, and shouted: "Lao Er Hugh is rampant, eat me and shoot me." ”
