"Brother, long time no see." Ma Yan's face was calm, and there was no trace of surprise in his eyes, as if he was looking at a stranger.

Ma Tong didn't care about this, and was even a little satisfied. It's enough for my brother to grow up like this. Under his leadership, the Yicheng Ma family will inevitably not decline.

Anyway, the Ma family has investments in the three, no matter who wins, the Yicheng Ma family has a bloodline from the dragon.

However, satisfaction is satisfaction, and Ma Tong still faithfully fulfills his responsibilities as the envoy of Eastern Wu. After a few polite words with Ma Tan, Ma Tong said what he meant.

"King Wu sent someone to ...... this time"

"It's Wu Hou, brother." Ma Jian interrupted Ma Tong's words and reminded him intimately,

"Two days ago, because King Sun Quan of Wu was arrogantly called the emperor, he was demoted to Marquis Wu."

"Ahem...... Well, the Marquis of Wu of the Han Dynasty hopes to unite with the Han Heavenly Army and join the Northern Expedition against the pseudo-Wei. Ma Tong shrugged his shoulders and said disapprehantly.

He doesn't care about such a thing, that's Sun Quan's face, and he doesn't care what he does. Now that Sun Quan's prestige in Soochow has been severely hit, many families have looked at Sun Quan and muttered in their hearts.

If Sun Quan hadn't been proficient in the way of checks and balances, so that these families were unable to rebel, Eastern Wu would have been in chaos a long time ago.

"The pseudo-Wei usurped the mandate of heaven, people and gods were angry, and all the heroes in the world wanted to eat their flesh raw. Marquis Wu is now sitting in the southeast, with 200,000 troops, and he also has the heart to beg thieves......"

"Brother doesn't have to say these scenes, just say it directly." Ma Jian interrupted Ma Tong's words again, and said a little speechlessly.

"Let's just say it, what does Sun Quan want to do?"

Ma Tong was silent for a while, and only after a long time did he speak,

"Wu Hou wants to cut down Hefei again."

Really!

Ma Jian held his forehead with his hand and shook his head helplessly, and had to sigh at Sun Quan's perseverance.

From the thirteenth year of Jian'an to the tenth autumn of Jianxing, Soochow has not stopped its plan to attack Hefei. Sun Quan fought several battles of Hefei, but all of them ended in failure, and none of them were successful.

It's just such a city, and it was only built after five years of Jian'an. As a result, Soochow mobilized more than 100,000 troops and fought for 20 years.

Until now, Sun Quan has not given up this city. Even Ma Jian had to admit that Sun Quan did have enough perseverance.

But......

"Since Wu Hou wants to attack Hefei, then send troops to fight, what are you looking for me for?" Ma Jian put down his hand, looked at his second brother with some suspicion and asked.

Hefei City is located in Jiujiang County, two large counties separated from Runan Lujiang by Ma Tan. I can't hit the eight poles at such a long distance, so why did I come to Ma Jian to discuss countermeasures?

Does he still want Ma Tan to give up Kunyang and cross the two large counties of Cao Wei to the south to help him fight Hefei?

Are you kidding!

However, Ma Tong just waved his hand lightly and carefully explained his intention.

"Although Wu Hou intends to fight in Hefei this time, he does not want to fight only in Hefei. Instead, he planned to divide his troops into three routes, attack in the three directions of Jiujiang, Lujiang and Xiangfan at the same time, and send 150,000 troops to cooperate with the northern expedition of the Han army. ”

At that time, Marquis Wu will personally lead the main force to surround Hefei and stumble the Wei army in Huainan. At the same time, he ordered the general Ding Feng to lead troops from Xiakou to the north along the Han River and attack Xiangfan with the Han army. ”

"The third way is the governor of Lu Xun, who will march to the Lujiang River, converge with the Kou of Guishan, and intercept the reinforcements of Hefei."

Therefore, Marquis Wu hoped that the general would lead his troops south to fight the Wei army in the direction of Runan. In this way, the Wei army did not dare to attack Kunyang with all its might, but also could fight side by side with the Ludu governor of Lujiang. ”

"If this is feasible, then the land from Hefei to Nanyang will no longer be owned by Wei. At that time, the generals of Marquis Wu attacked Qingxu, and Prime Minister Zhuge led the army out of Qinchuan and attacked from both sides, and the defeat of the puppet Wei was just around the corner. ”

Ma Tong quickly laid out all the plans of the Eastern Wu side, and vigorously described the strategic blueprint of the Eastern Wu to Ma Yan. Judging from their strategic thinking, it seems that Cao Wei is not the dominant side now, but a lamb to the slaughter.

In this regard, Ma Jian just rolled his eyes, a little speechless, and the daydream on the side of Dongwu was a little too big.

At present, Cao Wei's strength is at least nearly 400,000 troops. Moreover, Cao Wei is sitting on the size of the Central Plains, and if he really mobilizes his forces at full speed, his strength can be greatly expanded.

In terms of the combat effectiveness of Dongwu, he can't even defeat Hefei, and he still considers generals to Qingxu?

A few dishes, drink like this.

Especially when I heard Ma Tong say that this time Sun Quan planned to go out in person again, he knew that there was no hope this time. As soon as this master appears, in addition to adding debuffs to himself, it is to boost the morale of the other side.

After all, there is a little hope that Lu Xun will fight Lujiang County. However, the Lujiang water network is not large, most of them are land battles, and with the level of Wu Army's land warfare, Ma Jian estimates that there is no need to pin too much hope.

However, Ma Jian did not immediately refuse the other party's request, but subconsciously began to think about how to use it to make profits.

Now Shu Han has mobilized a large number of forces into battle, and will fight with the main force of the Wei army in the next few years. If Dongwu can't play a role at all, then the situation of Shu Han is really troublesome.

No matter what, I have to let Soochow play a little role, and contain it appropriately.

At the very least, the next time Cao Wei transfers the Huainan Wei army to the west, don't think about the threat of Eastern Wu so simply!

"The strategy is not bad, if there is enough feasibility, it is not impossible for me to go south to cooperate with you, but ......" Ma Tan narrowed his eyes, and after thinking about it, he already had an idea in his mind.

Since Soochow wants Hefei so much, it is better to give them a chance. It was just the opportunity to distract the Wei army and reduce the military pressure on Kunyang.

Otherwise, once the nearly 200,000 troops in the entire Kanto region are assembled, it will be impossible for Ma Tan to win unless he summons a meteorite as a great mage.

"But Xiangfan will be spared all the way, General Han Xiang is enough to deal with the Xiangfan Wei army, you should still put your troops into the eastern battlefield."

"Eh, a little more troops, more strength, wouldn't it be faster to conquer Xiangfan as soon as possible to provide assistance to Kunyang?" Ma Tong immediately opened his mouth and said, planning to fight for it. After all, if the Wu army participated in the Xiangfan battlefield, it would always be able to share a little red in the Jingzhou battlefield in the end.

Although the main goal of Eastern Wu was to bring troops into Huai, Sun Quan of Jingzhou still did not want to give up. Otherwise, if Nanyang was completely occupied by the Han army, Sun Quan basically wouldn't want to gain a foothold in Jingzhou.

However, before Ma Tong finished speaking, Ma Jian interrupted with a faint wave of his hand, and said calmly,

"If there is a Dongwu soldier who crosses Dangyang, I will personally go to the Xiangfan battlefield and clean up the Wei army along with your Dongwu!"

"Anyway, it won't take long, I'll go back to Kunyang to continue to defend the city after I finish packing, and let Wu Hou take care of it."
