Wu Jing observed Sun Quan's expression, stroked his beard and thought about it, and admonished again: "Zhongmou doesn't have to be too pessimistic, the city of Anhui County is relatively strong, and Bohai is also a cautious person, I think Cao Cao is eager to overcome it, and he appeared in Lujiang quietly, it must be a light army to cover the lack of logistics, once the war drags on to the stalemate stage, we may not be able to defeat him." ”

"Oh? Does my uncle have a way to deal with it? Tell me about it. ”

Although Sun Quan did not know how to use soldiers, he heard hope from Wu Jing's words.

Wu Jing bent down and pulled out his sword for Sun Quan, put it in his hand and said unhurriedly: "Light troops cover the attack, lack of food and materials, Cao Cao has no equipment, it is not easy to conquer the city, when Bo Fu and Gong Jin attacked Hefei, but also because they did not prepare equipment in a hurry, let Long Xiang defend it with thousands of people, I believe Bohai can also defend it;

In addition, Cao Cao took the line of Lu'an and Zipeng Mountain to the south, and did not dare to take the waterway of Weishui and Shishui, one is that they have no confidence in the Central Plains warships, and the other is that Hefei is still entrenched in Longxiang, so Cao's grain road is also a military road, we can try to cut off Cao Cao's grain road, then Cao Cao is likely to be trapped in the Lujiang River. ”

"Wonderful." Sun Quan stroked his palm and smiled, and echoed: "Lujiang has been in war for many years, a large number of people have been lost, and the fields are barren, Cao Cao has nowhere to go even if he wants to grab grain. ”

Wu Jing continued to add: "If you want to take it by surprise, you have to take advantage of the waterway, the fleet docked on the Yangtze River is too conspicuous, I suggest that you drive into the Weisu to dock in Chaohu Lake, enter the north to cut off the Cao Army's grain road, and retreat to cross the river through the Weixu River and return to Jiangdong." ”

"Chaohu? Close to Long Yunqi's territory." Sun Quan raised his eyes and said to himself: "Cao Cao's soldiers are pressing the border, I don't know what the soldiers and horses of Hefei are doing at this time?" Since he chose to rely on my Jiangdong, should Long Xiang do something? ”

Wu Jing was silent after hearing this, and said in his heart that Long Xiang only had the power of one city, and he did not necessarily have the courage to fight against Cao Cao, and the so-called backing Jiangdong was just an expedient measure, and Zhongmou was still younger.

At this moment, Huang Yi threw out a question.

"Lord, if the fleet is moved to Chaohu Lake, if Cao Cao blocks the mouth of the water, we will lose ground at that time, won't we be a turtle in the urn?"

As soon as Sun Quan heard that he was a good guy, this brother-in-law didn't know anything about using soldiers, no wonder Yuan Shu didn't entrust him with a heavy task, he didn't wait for Wu Jing to answer and then took over.

"Cao Cao has nothing, what does he use to block my way? Sending troops to the water to throw sand and gravel? Isn't this Jingwei reclamation? ”

Wu Jing then explained: "The so-called flowing water is ruthless, whether Cao Bing throws stones to cut off the stream, or sends people to build a dam to block the water, it is impossible, Chaohu Lake is so close to Weisu, if Cao Bing really does such a stupid thing, we will attack from the waterway in a warship, and there are Zhou Lang's reinforcements." ”

"yes, I was negligent." Huang Yi was not embarrassed when he said something wrong, he stood in place and scratched his head and smirked.

Sun Quan saw Huang Yi's stupid appearance, thinking that he had been in Hefei before, and he was a candidate for a messenger at this time, so he called him aside to teach him face-to-face.

Huang Yi nodded after hearing this, and then asked Sun Quan and Wu Jing to resign.

Wu Jing then arranged for the soldiers to board the ship and prepare to leave the north bank of the Yangtze River as soon as possible, knowing that Cao's army was watching not far away, and leaving early could confuse the opponent.

Huang Yi received Sun Quan's task, took the boat to leave the brigade first, and soon disappeared in front.

After the Jiangdong soldiers finished boarding, they also collectively turned around in the afternoon and headed along the north bank of the Yangtze River to the mouth of the water.

Before dusk, it sailed into the mouth of the water, and the fleet did not stop sailing even after nightfall, but followed the pilot ship slowly towards Chaohu Lake.

It is difficult to march at night, and it is even more difficult to sail at night.

In order to give Cao Cao a 'surprise', Wu Jing deliberately 'disappeared' from Cao Jun's field of vision with the help of night, which was highly praised by Sun Quan.

During the night voyage in the waters of the wet waters, Sun Quan sent scouts to the northeast Liyang to investigate, he wanted to find out whether Chen Lan was going to join Guangling, if it was under the guise of the city of Kouluo Jiangdong, it would be meaningless to take in such a team.

Seeing that Sun Quan was worried about Chen Lan, Wu Jing relieved and said: "Although Chen Lan is cowardly and left, he is not going to do a tricky thing, and he will not choose Liyang if he is really desperate, but will fight the idea of Fuling and Quanjiao." ”

"Fuling, Quanjiao?"

Sun Quan said meaningfully: "I promised it to Long Xiang at the beginning, but unfortunately he didn't like it and pushed it off, and now Gongjin has become the Taishou of Guangling, I don't know if he will take it by the way."

Wu Jingshu analyzed: "I think it should be, after all, these two counties border Guangling, and Zhou Langduo and two counties supplement the source of money, food and soldiers, and it will be easier to deal with Chen Deng." ”

"Hmm" Sun Quan bowed his head slightly in affirmation, and then put forward an incredible hypothesis to Wu Jing: "Uncle, do you say that there is a possibility that Chen Lan went to Gongjin from the beginning?" ”

Wu Jing was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Why did Zhongmou say this?" ”

Sun Quan sneered: "Chen Lan knew that my army was coming, and he and Huang Yi were waiting in the wet room but went to vote for Gongjin, isn't it very revealing?" ”

Wu Jing shook his head and analyzed: "According to what General Huang said, Chen Lan was afraid of participating in the war, worried that his troops would be wiped out by Cao Cao, and then he had no right to speak in Jiangdong, so he borrowed Zhou Lang to escape, and I estimate that he may not go to Guangling."

"Uncle, don't talk too much." Sun Quan insisted on his own opinion, and also took out his own analysis, and said: "Chen Lan is a veteran of Yuan Shu, and Gongjin is a fellow villager in Lujiang, the two may have known each other in Shouchun, and it is reasonable to vote at this time." ”

After listening to Sun Quan's radical theory, Wu Jing secretly thought that this nephew was too capable of thinking wildly, if Zhou Yu really had the intention to accumulate his own strength, he would not have led troops back to King Wu Qin in the first place, and you, the lord of Jiangdong, might not be able to sit so firmly.

Wu Jing knew that Sun Quan was very important, and he couldn't point it out clearly, so he reminded him from the side: "Zhou Lang is a famous family, Chen Lan is from a humble background, even if they meet in Shouchun, it is impossible to have the slightest friendship, this uncle can be sure;

In addition, now that the enemy is present, we have to put our minds on dealing with Cao Cao, all the forces that can be used are used, and everything that can be reunited must also be united. ”

"Long Xiang has some skills in defending the city, how do you say you can lead Cao Bing to Hefei?"

Sun Quan's unintentional complaint directly provided inspiration to Wu Jing, and he said excitedly: "No matter whether Huang Yi can invite Long Xiang to send troops, we will all send troops to attack Cao's grain road, so why not use an army to pretend to be Hefei people, and then give Cao Cao a voice to attack the west?" ”

"That's right, Hefei is so close to Chaohu Lake, and our fleet is hiding in the lake, sending a group of soldiers and horses to land on the south side, and then attacking Shucheng and other places, maybe we can really confuse Cao Thief."

Sun Quan looked excited after speaking, but Wu Jing's next reminder ruined the good mood he had just obtained.

"Pretending to be Hefei soldiers and horses to feint, the existing soldiers are not good, it is better to wait for Zhou Lang to come and then try, the old department of my father and brother is stronger in combat effectiveness."
