Chapter 494: Eastern Wu takes the initiative
"What? Bo Yan, are you going to take the initiative to attack? Ding Feng was stupid after hearing Lu Xun's words, as if he had reacquainted Lu Xun with Lu Xun.
"Bo Yan, don't take the rumors outside too seriously, the Supreme still trusts you very much. Don't worry about those juniors in Jingzhou who don't obey management, I'll help you deal with it, let's not be impulsive......"
"Cheng Yuan! Am I so spirited in your eyes? Lu Xun shook his head with a wry smile, looked at Ding Feng and asked calmly.
Ding Feng didn't say anything about this, but looked at him with a look of "aren't you".
In this regard, Lu Xun immediately understood that although Ding Feng trusted him, he was still more or less affected by rumors. So Lu Xun shook his head gently, and then said,
"Cheng Yuan don't have to worry, I, Lu Xun, haven't been angry like that yet. And even if I am willful, I will not risk it with the supreme family. ”
"My intention to do something about Xishu is well thought out, and I have already specified a perfect plan."
As he spoke, Lu Xun spread out the map and showed Ding Feng the strategic deployment he had already made.
Lu Xun's plan was not to attack Xiangfan in the north, and everyone knew that it was difficult to bite in the south. In particular, the crotch pulling of the army of Soochow is obvious to all, so Lu Xun will not touch this moldy head.
His purpose is Wuling, or the entire Yangtze River defense line that Xiang Pet is responsible for. Moreover, Lu Xun's goal this time was very clear, using 40,000 soldiers and horses plus 20,000 sailors in one go, preparing to storm the main Yangtze River defense line of Shu Han.
At the same time, Lu Xun also planned to involve the troops of Jiaozhou in the south and mobilize troops from Jiaozhou to Nanzhong. At this moment when both Wei and Shu were planning to recuperate, Lu Xun was ready to have a big battle with Xishu.
Ding Feng was a little puzzled by this, and he couldn't understand what Lu Xun was planning to do.
"Bo Yan, Wuling is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Xishu has been operating here for several years. The various passes of the Yangtze River are extremely difficult to fight, especially Ma Tan himself is now in Chengdu, even if it is defeated, we can't hold it! ”
"I'm not going to take it down." Lu Xun's words were amazing, and Ding Feng was shocked.
"Then you ......"
"My goal was originally to mobilize the Shu army, so that it would not be able to recuperate with peace of mind. Through this method, Xishu was forced to send troops to meet the battle at this time. Lu Xun said slowly, with a little more helplessness on his face.
"Although the Northern Expedition of Western Shu made rapid progress in the eight years, it was already too reckless. Ma Tan is currently implementing tax reduction and exemption in Yizhou, and the policy of recuperation and recuperation is because of this. ”
"If we let Xishu recuperate for a year or two, we will face great pressure when they attack. Therefore, we must find a way to mobilize their forces so that the Shu army is tired of fighting and unable to recuperate. ”
As he spoke, Lu Xun drew all the lines of Wuling, and his expression was already full of seriousness.
"Wuling is already sparsely populated, and it can't feed too many soldiers. If we launch a large-scale attack, if Xishu wants to confront each other, it will inevitably have to requisition grain and troops from Yizhou. ”
"And Ma Jian himself is notoriously belligerent, and he will certainly not sit idly by. As long as the war starts, Ma Jian will definitely come to the front line in person, and Yizhou's strategy of recuperation will be affected. ”
Of course, Lu Xun still had a more important plan and did not say. He planned to take advantage of this battle to let the generals below who had never seen the world see with their own eyes how capable Ma Jian was.
Only by letting them see with their own eyes how obvious it is that they will honestly obey his orders. And Wuling has a dense water network, with the Dongwu water army behind it, even if it is defeated, it will not lose a battle.
It can not only strike the opponent to recuperate, but also use this to train troops to enhance his prestige. Lu Xun's plan is already the best solution at the moment.
Otherwise, if he waited for Ji Han to ease up, he would have to face Ma Jian who had no worries. Whether Jingzhou can stop it at that time, Lu Xun is really hard to say.
Under Lu Xun's explanation, Ding Feng basically understood what Lu Xun meant. However, he still frowned, and asked Lu Xun another question.
"Since you already had this plan, why don't you make this suggestion to the Supreme?"
He remembered that the reason why Lu Xun asked Sun Quan for troops was that Jingzhou faced Xishu and had huge military pressure, and it was not a foreign war at all.
Regarding this question, Lu Xun fell into a long silence, and had no intention of answering at all.
With his reputation, if he told the truth, would the scholars of Yangzhou agree? If the families in Yangzhou began to obstruct it from the beginning, he would most likely not come from Yangzhou.
This is why they are all tactics to spread rumors and slander, but they are especially easy to use in Soochow. After all, Sun Quan was not the actual controller of Soochow, and most of Soochow's decisions needed to listen to the opinions of the family.
As soon as there are more people who make this decision, the power of rumors is revealed. Especially Lu Xun has made a lot of enemies in Yangzhou, and when those big clans attack him, they don't care about the truth of the rumors.
Therefore, for the sake of Jingzhou's grand strategy, Lu Xun also had to make this decision. He believed that Sun Quan could understand his suffering.
As for the family, as long as the raw rice is cooked and cooked, they have no way to object.
Regarding Lu Xun's plan, Ding Feng was not clear. But he keenly felt that Lu Xun had begun to hide it from Sun Quan.
Although this is a last resort, it ...... Is there really no problem?

After Lu Xun prepared three months in advance, after all the pre-war preparations were made. In November, Lu Xun sent a letter to Sun Quan to ask for Xishu, and said that all preparations had been made, just waiting for the Supreme to give an order.
As Lu Xun expected, many families in Jianye fiercely opposed. But in the face of being prepared over there, Sun Quan still nodded and agreed under pressure.
But after agreeing with Lu Xun, Sun Quan's eyes were a little more inexplicable.
Regardless of the setbacks along the way, Lu Xun did complete his deployment. After Sun Quan's order arrived, the 60,000 Wu army, under Lu Xun's personal command, launched a large-scale offensive against Ji Han's Wuling front.
At the same time, the entire Hanshui defense line was on high alert, blocking the northern road and blocking the Shu army in Nanyang.
In this battle, Lu Xun's plan is very big.
After detecting the large-scale invasion of the Soochow naval army, Xiang Pet quickly sent someone to report to Chengdu. At the same time, he quickly ordered the Han army on the front line of the Yangtze River in Wuling to prepare for a death battle with Eastern Wu.
When the battle report of the front line was delivered to Ma Jian in Chengdu, Ma Jian was shocked by this battle report.
"Lu Xun took the initiative to attack with the soldiers and horses of Eastern Wu? This 10,000-year-old king doesn't shrink his head today? ”
