South County, Public Security.

It was nearly dusk, the sun was setting, and the sunset was dyeing the sky red.

On the upper floor of the public security city, Lu Meng leaned on the city wall and tasted "The Biography of the Zuo Family in the Spring and Autumn Period".

"In the spring of the tenth year, Qi Shi attacked me. Gong general battle, Cao Di, please see. The villagers said: 'What is the point of the meat eaters?' He said: "Meat eaters are despicable, and they cannot plan far." …… The husband is a big country, unpredictable, and afraid of ambush. I regard it as chaotic and hope that it will be unstoppable, so I will chase it away. ”

"In the summer of June, Qi Shi and Song Shi were second to Lang. Gongzi Yan said: "If the Song teacher is not organized, he can be defeated." Song is defeated, Qi will return, please hit it. 'Gong Fu Xu. ……”

Lü Meng recited in a low voice the events that had occurred during the ten years of Duke Lu Zhuang, namely the case of Cao Di's polemic and Ji Yan's defeat of the Song Dynasty and his retreat from Qi.

Since Lü Meng followed Guan Yu to fight, Lü Meng was admonished by Guan Yu a lot because he was illiterate. After Lü Meng was promoted to general, Guan Yu persuaded him many times to study, saying that his husband must not study, otherwise how could he govern the army, and then said that he was willing to teach "Zuo Chuan" and Lü Meng.

Seeing Guan Yu's persuasion, Lu Meng was deeply ashamed, so he followed Guan Yu to read "Zuo Chuan". Gradually, over the years, Lu Meng knew a lot of words, and he also knew a lot about the stories in "Zuo Biography".

Putting down the bamboo slips, Lu Meng sighed: "Cao Di knows the soldiers, Zhuang Gong is the British lord. If there is no Zhuang Gong and Cao Di, the Lu State will be humiliated by the Qi State. ”

In Lu Meng's sigh, Guan Yu came with a sword in his hand and said: "The death of Ranlu can also be traced back to Zhuang Gong. ”

Seeing the burly and majestic body, Lu Meng hurriedly saluted and said, "The prince is well! ”

"No need to be polite!"

Guan Yu helped Lu Meng up and said with a smile: "When the world reads Cao Di's polemics, it is often said that Zhuang Gong has no strategy, and Cao Di is wise. Ziming can see Zhuang Gongzhiying, which shows that he has read "Zuo Chuan" deeply! ”

"Hey, hey!"

Lu Meng laughed a few times and said, "Thanks to the teachings of the prince, Meng was able to study the "Zuo Chuan". ”

Guan Yu was thoughtful and asked: "Ziming said that Lu Zhuang Gong is the hero, I don't know how to say this?" ”

Lu Meng pondered for a while and said: "Zhuang's mother, Wen Jiang, had an affair with her brother Qi Xianggong, causing her father Huan Gong to be killed by Qi Gong. Zhuang Gong succeeded to the throne at a young age, forbearance, and obeyed the Qi country. When Qi Xianggong died, he sent troops to commit Qi. ”

"However, it is a pity that Qi has a son, Xiaobai, who can dominate the Spring and Autumn Period. After the longitudinal pipe entered Qi, it was able to let Qi dominate the Central Plains. Lu has his master, but Zhuang Gong is not timely. ”

"Cao Di's polemic is clearly a polemic, but it is actually a polemic. Although Zhuang Gong is an ordinary ruler, he has won the hearts of the people. And can appreciate Cao Di, non-British masters can't do it! ”

Duke Lu Zhuang belongs to a rare British lord in Lu State, forbears adulthood, and takes revenge with one blow. However, at the same time, Qi Huan Gong was born, and he missed the great talent Guan Zhong, which caused the distance between Qi and Lu to become larger and larger.

Fortunately, Lu Zhuang was knowledgeable and interested, and was convinced by the overlord Qi Huan Gong and joined the Qi family, and Qilu entered the honeymoon period.

As for the words of Lu Guo who died in Lu Zhuanggong, it was that Lu Zhuanggong did not handle the palace relations well at the end of the period, and the rise of the domestic Sanhuan forces was finally wiped by the Duke of Qi Huan. After such an operation, the successor Lu Xigong was no longer able to curb the Sanhuan forces.

"Color!"

Guan Yu's eyes showed appreciation, and he said jokingly: "With Ziming's talent, it is not a matter of recovering Chu and going down to Ameng!" ”

Lü Meng, a native of Runan. In the land of Wu, he can be called Wuxia Ameng; If it is in Chu, it can be called Ameng under Chu.

Lu Meng puffed up his chest and said: "Shibei for three days, that is, he will be more impressed, how late can the prince see things!" ”

Guan Yu patted Lu Meng's shoulder and said with a smile: "See it now, why don't you say it late!" ”

"Hey, hey!"

Lu Meng bowed his hand to Guan Yu and said gratefully: "The prince did not abandon Meng rudeness, and awarded the "Zuo Biography", Meng should be grateful. ”

Guan Yu stroked his long beard and said: "Teach Ziming "Zuo Chuan", and cherish Ziming's qualifications. Jun has a lot of strategy, and if he doesn't learn to read military books, why will he be heavy? ”

"Thank you for your teachings!"

Between the words, Lu Meng saw Guan Yu's eyebrows unfurled, and asked, "Could it be that the prince is worried?" But the king's northern expedition is not good? ”

"Hmm!"

Guan Yu has a close relationship with Lu Meng, and he will not hide it now, saying: "Don't hide it from Ziming, the king has withdrawn from Shouchun due to the plague in the army, and camped in Hefei, and Zhong Miao will supervise the treatment of the epidemic. ”

"What about General Zhang?" Lu Meng asked.

Guan Yu sighed slightly and said, "Yide doesn't have many troops, and it is difficult to compete with Cao Hong, Ma Chao, and Zhang He. Previously, the Japanese Yide saw that the battle had been fruitless for a long time, and despite the advice of the uncle, he looked for an opportunity to fight. Unexpectedly, he was defeated by Cao Hong and Cao Xiu, but fortunately Boyan led the army to respond, and he retreated. ”

"The king's soldiers retreated, the Yide soldiers and horses were frustrated, our army sat back and watched the southern county, except for the partial army commanded by Zhong Miao, the northern expedition of this battle was fruitless. After three years of trying to rule, he only got a hundred miles of land in Huaidong, and there were too few victories. If the Northern Expedition is like this, I don't know when the Northern Expedition will succeed? ”

As he spoke, Guan Yu lightly pounded the city wall and said with annoyance: "Since a certain person has been sitting in Nanjun, he has confronted Cao Ren for many years. It stubbornly does not fight, and every year only knows how to repair the city barriers, expand the city, and build three small cities outside that Xiangyang, which has the benefit of mountains and rivers, which is really hateful. ”

The battle of Gai or Chrysostom was defeated miserably, and Nanjun had a large population, plus a new public security city. The situation of today's Han water is not that Cao Qiang and Liu are weak in history, but that Liu Qiang and Cao are weak.

In such a situation, Cao Cao was worried that Cao Ren's brain would be stupid, and he kept emphasizing the importance of Xiangfan to Cao Ren, and let him stick to Xiangfan City, and not attack Nanjun without the benefit of the water master.

Cao Renzhen listened to Cao Cao's words, and sat in Xiangfan for nearly ten years, and his daily activities every year were to repair the city wall, store grain and grass, and accumulate armor soldiers.

20,000 or 30,000 people guard Xiangfan, in addition to farming every year, they build a city outside Xiangfan City, and Guan Yu's scalp is numb.

Such a fortification cannot be gnawed by people alone. 2. 30,000 people guarded Xiangfan, and Liu Bei led more than 100,000 soldiers from all over the country to fight Xiangfan, even if more than half of them were killed or wounded, it was estimated that they could not beat Xiangfan.

This is also the core reason why Liu Bei did not want to fight Xiangfan in this Northern Expedition. Being in a narrow area, it was also an offensive and defensive battle, and Cao Wei, as the defender, was greatly conducive to their operations.

Lu Meng frowned and said: "Xiangfan has been run by Cao Ren for many years, the city is high and the ditch is deep, the city is in danger, the armor is abundant, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it cannot be fought lightly. ”

As he spoke, Lu Meng lightly pounded the city wall and said, "Unless Cao Ren takes the initiative to fight, it will be difficult for our army to defeat Xiangfan!" ”

Guan Yu stroked his long beard and said, "Luring Cao Ren to fight, there were many attempts in the past. However, Cao Ren knew the benefits of our army's sailors, and did not dare to go deep into the Han River. ”

After a pause, Guan Yu said emphatically: "If you want to take Xiangfan, you must lure Cao Ren to fight, defeat his army, overthrow his division, and capture his city." In the past, the strategy of luring the enemy was very shallow and easy to be understood by others. ”

Lu Meng pondered for a long time and said: "Ban Chao said, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you can't be a tiger." If you want to take the city now, you need to enter the tiger's den to get the city. Meng thought that in the past, it was not that Cao Ren did not dare to fight, but that he could not fight. ”

"The public security city is strong, and the water division is convenient. Cao Ren went out to fight, but he was defeated by many soldiers, so he could only defend the city and could not fight with our army. ”

Guan Yu looked at the Han Shui outside the city and said, "In the past, Cao Ren was lured to fight, and he gained little profit. If he is tempted by heavy profits now, Cao Ren may be willing to fight. ”

"Heavy profit?"

"Yes!"

Guan Yu patted the city wall and said: "In the past, Cao Ren was reluctant to fight, if he gave up huge profits with him, Cao Ren should be willing to fight!" ”

Lu Meng pondered for a while and said, "Dare to ask the prince, what is the heavy profit?" ”

After thinking about it, Guan Yu asked, "Pretending to be invincible, can you lure Cao Ren into battle?" ”

Lu Meng shook his head and said, "Xi Cao Di said: 'Little faith is not fu, and God is blessed. 'With Xiaohui today, why lure Cao Ren to fight? ”

"Does Ziming have an opinion?" Guan Yu rarely asked Lu Meng for advice and asked.

Lu Meng stroked his short beard and said: "Since the prince and the marquis are willing to speak, why not order someone to descend to Cao, so that Cao Ren can take advantage of it." ”

"Cao Ren has courage and no strategy, but I am afraid that Cao Cao will know the truth." Guan Yu said.

"Hmm!"

Lu Meng thought about it again and again, and said: "Nanjun is rich, with tens of thousands of household registrations. Cao Ren will be happy when he gets it. If Cao Ren can be lured to lead the army deep now, he may have a chance to defeat him. ”

Guan Yu narrowed Danfeng's eyes and said, "Ziming wants to make people subjugate Cao Ren and lure him to advance lightly, and then seek an opportunity to defeat him?" ”

"Yes!"

Lu Meng nodded and said, "Use Nanjun as bait to make people secretly communicate with Cao Ren." Perform a false surrender strategy to lure Cao Ren into battle. ”

Saying that, Lu Meng emphatically said: "Cao Cao is cunning and cunning, if he makes a false surrender strategy, he needs to use the fake to confuse the truth." ”

Guan Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Luring Cao Ren to fight and seeking an opportunity to defeat him is a feasible strategy." However, I thought that between Nanyang, there might be thieves and disobedient people, if they could send someone to secretly communicate with them. The inside echoes the surface, Xiangfan or can go down in one fell swoop! ”

"Yes!"

Lu Meng said excitedly: "The prince has ruled Nanjun for many years, and he has been enviing Jianghan. Cao Ren perennially sent a conscription to repair the city, and the people either complained, and the prince sent someone to secretly communicate with him, or he could find a righteous man to serve my Han. ”

Guan Yu bowed slightly, and said in approval: "Jingzhou Thorn Shi Hu Xiu is rude under the rule, Nanxiang is too arrogant and arrogant, and the people of Jingbei are difficult to say peaceful. ”

"Who does the prince want to send to Cao Ren?" Lu Meng asked.

Guan Yu pondered for a while and said: "Wuhan is the center of our country, and Nanjun is the place of barriers. This can only be done with the king's permission. If you easily mobilize troops and cause a shock in Wuhan, you and I will be at fault! ”

At present, the capital of the Southern Han Dynasty is in Wuhan, and the Nanjun where Guan Yu sits, as the barrier of Wuhan, almost does not dare to move lightly. Out of responsibility, Guan Yu will ask for instructions every time he uses troops.

Of course, it is not up to Guan Yu to decide to win Xiangfan, and Liu Bei must agree. Moreover, Guan Yu's battle against Xiangfan must be another confrontation between the Southern Han and the Northern Wei.

"The prince is wise!" Lu Meng praised.

"Han Ji Huanglu Wang Lu Biography": At the beginning, Guan Yu said: "The husband is in the world, you must learn!" "Meng Ci is a lot of work in the army, Yu is not pleased, and he is willing to teach "Zuo Chuan" in person, and Meng Nai began to learn.

and Yuzhi Public Security, and Meng discussed learning, and said with a smile: "The king is only a little bit now, not Ameng!" Meng said: "Shibei for three days, that is, more impressive, how late can the prince see things!" ”
