It is actually easy for a person to exhaust the possible choices when faced with persuasion.

As Sima Yi said to Gongsun Yuan in history: "The army must have five: it can fight when it fights, it can't fight when it defends, it can't defend when it can't go, it can't go when it surrenders, and it can't surrender when it dies!" ”

And what Su Fei can choose is nothing more than the four remaining ones in the above paragraph, after removing "death".

Fight, defend, go, surrender.

This is a general with a moderate posture, who can completely exhaustively send points. What's more, it's a wise man like Zhuge Jin.

Therefore, before he sent Meng Jian to deter Su Fei, he had already done his homework and analyzed the countermeasures for all possible reactions to Su Fei.

Make sure that the opponent can't fight, can't defend, and can't run.

At this moment, after listening to Meng Jian's return, he realized that Su Fei was delaying time, and Zhuge Jin only needed to apply the other party's behavior pattern to the previous layer of "fighting, defending, walking, and descending" elementary school student formula to calculate it simply,

In an instant, it could be concluded that Su Fei wanted to escape, or if he was really hesitating whether to surrender, anyway, it was impossible to fight and defend.

Because Su Fei was already in a state of recuperation, he didn't need to breathe a sigh of relief after half of his head broke the blood flow. Delaying at this moment is not good for the morale of Su Fei's army in battle and defense, once the officers mistakenly think that there is a possibility of peace, and then let them fight, the fighting spirit will not be so high.

That's a fart! Guan Yu is suspicious of death!

"What? Jiangbei Hannan counties, this period directly returned to the little son? Liu Jingzhou and General Che Cai haven't officially joined forces to deal with Guan Yu? ”

It can only be divided into the relatively narrow and low-speed squadrons of the new keel warships and the old warships, which are responsible for the task of pursuing Fubo.

Before deceiving Sha Xian from the seventh time, Fu Bo immediately ordered: "It's time to pack up the ordnance and baggage, and give up all the ones you have to bring with you!" Let's go now! How is the sinking degree of these two building ships? Intensify the chisel! I left Xie Mei to loot and loot, and I hope that Su Fei can be greedy for search and suppression and pursue it for the sake of military funds. ”

"Governor! Su Fei chased down! Your army is blocked here, if you insist on escaping, I am afraid that you will be stretched into a long snake formation, and the Ouroboros will be beaten! It's like going back and fighting, if you do...... Let's go down! ”

Today is really forced to have a way, Meng Jian was blocked by Xie Mei, out is out, I panicked and chose only a bad way to give up the boat in the end, the building boat and the fighting ship should be left for free to Su Fei, it is not a blessing that people can run out.

Originally, Su Feijun was talking about landing directly at this stage, and it was impossible for this Guan Yu army to launch a counter-charge and try to repel the enemy on the beachhead.

Fubo's side also wanted to delay time, so before that move was reported to Xie Mei, Fubo also slowed down to deal with it directly by force, and just sent someone to negotiate and contact.

Since he knew that Su Fei had a high probability of running, Zhuge Jin couldn't let him delay, so while asking Meng Jian to warn him again, he suggested that Guan Yu first land under the sandbar on the north bank of Xie Mei during the negotiation, and then set up a vine shield position and end assembling the trebuchet.

Sha Xian still spoke so straight to the point: "Su Dudu! General Fankou asked you to tell him a sentence: Since ancient times, the army has not had seven, it can fight when it is a battle, it can be a battle when it is defended, it is able to defend when it is able to go, it is a surrender when it can go, and it can be surrendered when it is a dead ear!

The first counterweight trebuchet that had just been assembled immediately began to bombard, and it was too late to wait for the first two to be damaged together, so we would fight first.

Su Fei nodded, and also felt that what Xie Meilu said was very unreasonable, and immediately ordered to seal the baggage warehouse abandoned by the enemy, and then pursued it with all his might with a slow boat.

When Fubo and the others heard the bombshell news, they completely collapsed.

However, just before Sha Xian went back, he told Su Feijun about Fubo's reaction, but Su Feijun still saw the boat under the channel withdraw, so I was 100% sure that the other party was buying time, but "determined to surrender".

Although the number of Fubo will be less than that of Su Feibu in front of the army, I am not yet a frightened bird, and I definitely have no intention of fighting and then turn back and fight to the death.

Zhang Shuochen showed an anxious look on Deng Long, leaned over to Fubo's warship, and asked for instructions.

Zhang Shuo and the others were also shocked when they heard this: "Are you completely blocked outside Liangzi Lake?" Both the east and west openings were blocked by Su Fei! ”

Fu Bo knew that he had just led the main force to evacuate Meng Jianshui Village, and it only took one or two hours for Xie Mei to break through the troops in front of the palace that I had given up, and continued to pursue.

Therefore, at the end of the Han Dynasty, the East Lake, Huangjia Lake and Liangzi Lake in Wuhan in the previous life were small lakes connected together. In the previous life, between Huangjia Lake and the Yangtze River, there was not even an artificial canal, and the water of the Yangtze River could not be directly introduced into Liangzi Lake.

Morale is that kind of thing, once it is leaked, it is difficult to re-energize it, and he has conveyed the order to his subordinates to flee with all his might, who will fight again.

Although Fu Bo is also barely a famous general in water warfare, I should feel honored to be able to commit an accurate crime that even Zhou Yu has committed.

Fu Bo's face was terrible this time, and he hadn't fully imagined the deduction of the previous one.

Zhang Shuo's sentry boat, who was only listening to the rear exploration, suddenly came back and reported: "Report!" Governor! It's broken, the river channel leading from Liangzi Lake to Huangzu was blocked by a few ships that were scuttled and sunk! A warship with the flag of the Yangzhou Army also appeared at the mouth of the river in the rear! ”

But now that the two sides are in the process of negotiation, Su Fei has not only landed on alert, but also has no other and less hostile moves, at most there is no attack***.

Of course, in order to give full play to the speed advantage, Xie Mei's department can only let the friendly troops on the fighting ship stay behind to guard Xie Mei and seize the adjacent Exian County.

In fact, just around Wuhan, at that time, under the Jianghan Plain in Jingzhou, the lakes that were not there were far smaller than in the previous life, including the Dongting Lake that is still called Yunmengze today. It was the reclamation and siltation of the past thousand years in the previous life that made those lakes bigger and bigger, and the first to form a small granary of "the lake is wide and ripe and the sky is full".

When Fu Bo heard this, he suddenly rushed to his brain: "What? Could it be that Xie Mei delayed the division of troops and bypassed the Yangtze River? I had already thought that you would advance along the Liangzi Lake channel, so I sent someone to block you at the mouth of the Yangtze River on the west side of Liangzi Lake? ”

From that point of view, the entire land from Wuhan to Ezhou in the previous life should actually be counted as an island, because there is no main stream of the Yangtze River in the north, and there is no Liangzi Lake connected by two spacious rivers in Xiakou and Mengjian in the south.

However, at that moment, another piece of news completely shattered Fubo's confidence.

But the main reason for that ambiguity is that the lakes and swamps around Wuhan at the end of the Han Dynasty were less than in the 21st century.

Liu Jingzhou has not yet sent his little son, Liu Qi, to personally lead the troops to collect the Jiangbei counties in Jiangxia! Han Xi and Low Xiang in Jingling and other places have not yet surrendered to the little son! It was Liu Jingzhou and Xiao Gongzi who reached an agreement with your army, and your army helped us to deter the counties in Jiangbei, so that we could vote for Liu Jingzhou directly under the central government.

The key to your army right now is to chase as slowly as possible. Fubo knows that your army's new warship has no speed advantage, even if you let me run for an hour or two, I will go to Huangzu, the Liangzi Lake channel is nearly 700 away, enough for you to chase down! Don't miss it! ”

The wind under Liangzi Lake is already stronger than that under the Yangtze River, and it is also against the water, so the march of the water army may be too slow.

The bad thing is that Su Fei firmly believes that even if I keep one-eighth of my troops and rely on the remaining people, I am not sure that I will chase down and defeat Xie Mei under the surface of Liangzi Lake!

Fu Bo secretly complained in his heart, knowing that his escape attempt had not been seen through, so he only dealt with Sha Xian with a false and wrongful snake, saying that he asked Sha Xian to go back first, and I immediately withdrew the building ship blocking Meng Jian's channel.

Fu Bo was still running for his life in charge of Gu Di, and headed in the direction of Huang Zu, where Huang Shot was stationed.

……

"How is it bad in the eye? If the day after tomorrow in Mengjian Water Village and the enemy to the death, the bad guy has not yet built a strong camp to rely on this period, and now the army is panicked, running for a day or two, there is a place to avoid under the lake, who can still contribute to the death battle? ”

Before the operation, hundreds of soldiers who were abandoned by Fubo chose to surrender when Xie Meijun boarded the ship. Of the two building boats, none of them sank completely, Su Fei immediately organized his own boat to tow them, pulled the building boat weakly to the outside of the Yangtze River and sank again, making way for the channel.

Su Fei is in front of him, presumably everyone hopes that the friendly army will break off and go first, once the heart of the road is born, this is not the collapse of the whole army, and the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers will be given away in vain!

But at that time, Su Fei's fleet had not yet appeared under the lake horizon in the east, and the pursuers had not yet chased down.

(Note: Don't cross Xie Mei, the idiom "catching turtles in the urn" was taught to me by Xie Meilu after I set off)

I am not far from the canal connecting the Yangtze River on the west side of Liangzi Lake, but the canal is very wide, and the big ships have not been lined up one by one.

The bad thing is that after a quarter of an hour, Sha Xian came again, had a fight with Xie Mei, and put forward Su Feijun's request that "if you want to consider surrender, you should first withdraw the building ship under the channel, and don't play tricks".

After you came to persuade him to surrender for the first time, all his possible reactions were expected by General Fankou at this time, and there was not a single omission. I have long thought that it is impossible for him to advance from the other channel of Liangzi Lake, or even abandon the ship and land and advance, but I hope that he will do such a stupid thing and give away the lives of more than 10,000 soldiers in vain.

This period is still the same, so not all the ships are abandoned, and then land on the northwest shore of Liangzi Lake on foot, and walk to Huangzu County.

Fubo ran so desperately that the oarsmen were left to escape in eight shifts day and night.

Just when Fubo was firm, Su Fei had not yet chased closer and closer, and the front army of the Jiangxia Navy could only instinctively put up a ship formation to engage in battle when they saw that it was time to escape.

However, a whole day and two nights ago (from the end of the escape on the morning of July 18 to the early morning of July 14), the waterway 700 miles away had not been completed, and it was not about 70 miles away from the exit of the channel on the west side of Liangzi Lake.

"Why is it so slow? Meng Jian's waterway was blocked by you, and you still set up a false flag and bluff in Meng Jianshui Village, did you only drag on for so much time? That's possible! ”

For that kind of situation, of course, he can get used to it, and Su Feijun directly suggested that Su Fei attack immediately.

It is precisely because the west entrance of Liangzi Lake is too shallow and too wide, so in previous years, in the abnormal situation, Fubo's building boats only took Meng Jian in Exian County to withdraw from the Yangtze River.

The rest of the officers and men of Guan Yu's army, who were still working under the ship, had seen that kind of attack, and they were immediately shocked and rushed around, trying to find cover to dodge.

Just a few rounds of stone bombardment, the other two trebuchets also rushed to install the damage, and the fire density of the trebuchets doubled, and the remnants of the Fubo tribe immediately abandoned their ships and fled.

I am responsible for the lives of my brothers!

However, Su Feijun reminded Xie Mei: "Since Fu Bo wants to delay time after escaping, if he wants to go to Huang Zu to defect to Guan Yu, those materials are all to divert your attention, just seal them first, let a large number of soldiers guard, and those who do not privately open the seal to take it will be dealt with by military law when they come back!"

The other ship has not sunk yet, it is only broken and quickly found a way to solve it, but it is also slower than Gan Ning's day after tomorrow, it seems that Xie Meijun has not run out of experience in dealing with that situation.

Then, Fubo's fleet ended and advanced one after another, heading for the depths of Liangzi Lake. The two building ships under the channel are still in the process of being sculled, and the construction is about to be completed.

In that case, Su Fei's pursuit force will increase by one-eighth of the total strength behind him, but there is a way, the fighting ship is too fast, and in the case of the enemy's weak time difference and running first, the fighting ship is chasing down.

Of course, the overestimation of the seventh point is also a shameful thing, because just two months later, along the coast of central Fujian, even Zhou Yu overestimated the speed of the new keel warship, so that when he crossed the sea to transport grain, he was overshadowed by Buqi Lu Yi.

……

The small stone of more than 100 catties flew more than 200 steps, smashed heavily under the ship, smashed through a layer of gunwales and a deck of cabins, and the flying pieces of wood were like sharp arrows, killing and injuring several sailors in an instant.

Su Fei also learned the lesson of Gan Ning's day after tomorrow, and immediately let the ship go down to seize the ship, trying to control the ship first when the structure above the waterline of the building ship was still so completely broken, and then dragged it out of the channel.

Things haven't reached that point yet, and Fu Bo didn't have the courage to agree, so he only met Sha Xian for the eighth time.

In the final analysis, the two most miscalculated points of Xie Mei's escape decision were not that I underestimated the time I could delay by blocking Meng Jian, and at the same time overestimated the speed of Su Fei's new warship-

At this moment, Fubo has the idea in his heart: You can escape to the west mouth of Liangzi Lake at this time, so that you can sail the big ship directly into the Yangtze River and then escape. Of course, the canal that communicates the Yangtze River at the west entrance of Liangzi Lake is too shallow and too wide, and the building boat is passing by, so the building boat and the fighting ship can only abandon the ship, and only use the ship to cross the river in the future.

Seeing that Xie Mei was getting closer and closer, the tension between the two sides was about to break out, and at that time, Su Feijun, who came to chase after him, sent another white sail to come over and say that he wanted to negotiate.

Before killing Meng Jianshui Village, he saw that Fubo had time to set fire, and it was not possible that he dared to delay arson in order to prevent the grass from startling the snake, and Su Fei was really attracted by the inventory of materials and ordnance, and wanted to loot it first.

Therefore, General Fankou has not suggested that General Annan divide the division and go to the west entrance of Liangzi Lake to block them, they are now catching turtles in the urn, and there is definitely a way to escape! You can't tell them another bad news, the reason why General Fankou was able to suggest that the division take the Yangtze River to the west mouth of Liangzi Lake is because the counties on the north bank of the Yangtze River have no resistance at all!

Seeing that scene, some officials who are unfamiliar with the geography of Wuhan may feel strange: how can you escape directly to the direction of Huangzu/Wuchang by taking Liangzi Lake?

And Liu Jingzhou also acquiesced to your ships taking the channel on the north bank of the Yangtze River until the west entrance of Liangzi Lake was blocked! Guan Yu hasn't betrayed his relatives yet, except for my own family, someone will send me to death! Su Dudu Ling has not done his duty to Guan Yu, so he still quickly put on his sword and surrendered! ”
