Chapter 741,742 Sun Wu falsely attacked Cai(1/2)
After Li Ran opened the silk book and took a look, he finally understood it!
It turns out that Sun Wu also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make everyone in the world mistakenly think that Wu State was planning to do evil to Lu State.
But in fact, he had already led 30,000 land and sea troops upstream from the Huaihe River, approaching the State of Cai, intending to raid the State of Chu!
And this time, not only Sun Wu, but also Wu Yuan and King Wu Helu are also in the formation, and they must want to attack the capital of Chu State Ying in one fell swoop!
Therefore, the Wu army that stayed behind in the Lu State was simply a ruse to deceive their troops!
When Li Ran saw this letter, he couldn't help but secretly praise him. He felt that Sun Wu's move was really clever!
You must know that although Wu Yuan and Sun Wu jointly designed the "Tired Chu Strategy", it has been in the past for several years now. The Chu State has also waxed and waned with the Wu State.
However, after all, the Chu State has a deep family background. How easy is it to destroy it in one fell swoop?
As Wu Yuan was eager for revenge, King Wu Helu didn't want to delay it any longer.
Therefore, after Sun Wu received Li Ran's letter from the State of Lu, he decisively came up with such a strategy to risk his life and survive!
Li Ran closed the letter, raised his hands to the adjutant in front of him and said:
"I see, I already know this. In this case, after I return, I will order the Ji family to lead troops to confront the general. In this way, I can repay Master Wu for his help!"
Obviously, since Sun Wu helped Li Ran, Li Ran would naturally help Sun Wu again.
Li Ran's suggestion of "letting the Ji family lead the troops to confront the Wu division" was undoubtedly to cooperate with Sun Wu and to prepare this great drama for him at the gate of the Lu country.
After Li Ran finished speaking, he bowed his hands and prepared to leave.
When Sun Wu's adjutant saw him, he stepped forward and said:
"But I wonder if sir, if you have anything to say, would you like to convey it to me?"
When Li Ran heard this, he suddenly stopped, turned around and thought about it again, and decided to write a letter to Sun Wu.
The adjutant ordered someone to bring inkstones and pens immediately, while he retreated for the time being.
Li Ran picked up the pen, hesitated for a while, then put it down immediately. He asked Fan Li to take out a few stones and roughly set up a sand table. After taking a look, he said:
"In the past, when I ran from Qianxi to Zheng, I took this road. Sun Changqing was with me at that time, so he was very familiar with this path."
"Although this road can avoid most of the passes in Chu State, if you want to cross Fangcheng Mountain and go straight to the capital of Ying, you still cannot avoid the Big Tunnel, Zhiyuan, and Ming'e. And these three big passes, if
It’s well defended, but it’s not easy to capture!”
After all, Fan Li was from Chu, so he was deeply impressed by the terrain there. Although the sand table was simple, he could still roughly imagine it. So, he nodded immediately:
"Although it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, there are no wars in these three places all year round, and they are located deep in the hinterland of the Chu Kingdom. If they really take advantage of their unpreparedness, there is no chance!"
Li Ran nodded and smiled:
"Of course! It's just that I don't know if there are people in Chu who know how to fight and can prevent this from happening and guard these three passes. Or..."
For some reason, Li Ran suddenly thought of Ye Xu, whom he had not seen for a long time.
This little boy who was closely related to Sun Wu at that time is said to have grown up to be a general of the Chu State. He was named Shen Yin Zuo Sima and guarded the outside of Fangcheng Mountain.
Although Li Ran didn't know where Ye Xu was now, whether he was in Ye Yi or Shen Yi, he was not far from the raid route set by Sun Wu.
So, in other words, there is a high probability that they will meet.
Moreover, what is even more interesting is that this Ye Xu was originally from the state of Wu. When he was young, he fought with King Zhufan of Wu in the battle against Chaoyi, but in the end he was taken in by Sun Wu. From then on, Ye Xu also regarded Sun Wu as his eldest brother.
But now, Sun Wu has become the commander-in-chief of the Wu army, and as a Wu man, he wants to be loyal to Chu.
I have to say, this is really a blessing in disguise!
But it seemed that the two of them were destined to meet each other at war.
However, Fan Li didn't know this and just said from the side:
"Since these three passes are not easy to break, I think Brother Changqing must have already thought of a way to defeat the enemy."
"After all, Chang Qing is very meticulous in his military use, and he would never be so careless!"
Hearing this, Li Ran also glanced at Fan Li approvingly.
"Hmm... It seems that Chang Qing must have a plan, so why should I bother myself here? Let him just give it a try!"
So, Li Ran immediately wrote, not mentioning anything about leading the troops, but all he wrote was his longing for Sun Wu.
After all, the two of them have been together for more than twenty years, and their relationship is like master and apprentice, like friends, and like brothers. After all these years of separation, Li Ran is really not used to it, and it is still the same today.
After Li Ran sealed the brocade and silk and handed it over to the adjutant, Li Ran and his party left Wu Camp.
…
But it’s Sun Wu’s side.
When he received that Li Ran wanted him to lead an army to attack the state of Lu, Sun Wu naturally did not refuse immediately.
However, when he was about to report to King Wu Helu, he suddenly had a sudden idea. He immediately found the Wu members and told him about his plan to attack the Chu Kingdom.
Wu Yuan originally wanted to destroy Chu, so after hearing Sun Wu's plan, they naturally hit it off.
The two men immediately went to King Helu of Wu and said that the current situation in the world has changed drastically, which is a good opportunity to destroy Chu!
King Wu Helu had been waiting for this moment for too long.
Since his grandfather, King Shoumeng of Wu, there have been three generations of the Wu Kingdom, a total of six kings of Wu, and all of them have regarded the Chu Kingdom as their imaginary enemy.
Especially King Helu of Wu. His father, King Zhufan of Wu, died directly in Chaoyi in battle.
And now that he had the opportunity to avenge his father's murder, why wouldn't he agree?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Therefore, he immediately decided to fight in person. And he was preparing to mobilize the strength of the whole country, with a total of 30,000 land and water divisions, and his brothers Wang Zichen and Dazai Bo Pei
Sitting in command, Sun Wu is Sima, ready to accomplish his feats in one battle!
Therefore, the army of Wu State first went upstream. After arriving at Lu State, they only left the camp and an army as suspects.
Sun Wu, on the other hand, also had great military skills and great speed. He directly led his troops to attack Cai State over a long distance!
After arriving at Shangcai, the king of Cai State voted directly without saying a word!
Sun Wu then integrated the troops from Cai State and the support from Tang State. The number of troops reached 60,000. They continued to march westward. When they arrived at Huairui, Sun Wu suddenly issued an order, asking everyone to directly
Shezhou landed and headed south instead of west!
In this regard, Wu Yuan was greatly puzzled:
"Wu's army was already good at water warfare, so why did they want to march by land instead?"
Sun Wu confidently said:
"The most important thing in fighting with soldiers is speed. Only speed can catch them by surprise! Only in this way can we catch them off guard! We have now planted a suspicious army in the Lu State, and we have used this to distract the attention of the people in the world. The world
Everyone thought that the king was planning to take advantage of the civil strife in Lu and plot against the state of Lu. In fact, we traveled thousands of miles to attack the state of Cai."
"Now that Cai Guo has taken it, if we continue to go upstream, we must go through Yeyi! Although the terrain is flat, not only will we have to take a long way, but Chu State will also take precautions! Our Wu army's
The advantages will also be gone!"
When the soldiers heard this, they were also convinced. They immediately selected four thousand elite soldiers as the vanguard, and quickly passed through the three passes of the Big Tunnel, Zhiyuan, and Ming'e.
Moreover, just as Sun Wu said, these three passes were easily captured by the soldiers before they even had time to set up defenses!
From this, the Wu army successfully crossed Fangcheng Mountain and approached the Han River, only a hundred miles away from the capital of Chu State Ying!
And this time, it was really beyond Chu Ren’s expectation!
They originally had a tip that Master Wu was on his way to the State of Lu, and it seemed that he wanted to take advantage of the civil strife in Lu to come over and get a share of the pie.
However, what everyone didn't expect was that they were suddenly going to make a "secret attack on Chen Cang".
After successfully capturing Cai Guo! Master Wu actually appeared on the other side of the Han River in the blink of an eye!
King Zhen of Chu could not help but be horrified after hearing this, and hurriedly ordered the Chu State to order Yin Nangwa to lead the army to resist. However, Nangwa was frightened when he learned that the Wu army had invaded the hinterland of Chu State.
At this time, he received a letter from Shen Yin, Zuo Sima and Ye Xu who were stationed outside Fangcheng Mountain.
It turned out that Ye Xu had also noticed Master Wu's intention. And after learning that Master Wu had passed through three passes and climbed over Fangcheng Mountain, he suddenly had a plan in mind.
He immediately wrote to Ling Yin Nangwa, asking him to make sure to maneuver with Wu Division up and down the Han River. After he led his army to cut off Wu Division's retreat and destroy Wu Division's boats, he could hold the tunnel.
Zhiyuan and Ming'e are blocked by three dangerous passes. The Wu army cannot look at each other from the beginning to the end. It will definitely teach the Wu army that there will be no return!
When Nangwa saw this letter, he fell into deep thought. He handed the letter to Wucheng Hei beside him to read.
After reading it, Wucheng Hei sneered.
"It's ridiculous, Shen Yinxu actually wants us to deal with Wu Division from the front?! Wu Division is now unsteady and it's time for a quick battle. Wu's chariots are made of wood, while ours are
It's covered with leather, and it's the rainy season now. If it lasts for a long time, we will definitely suffer!"
The doctor Shi Huang on the side also took a look at the content of the letter and curled his lips and said:
"It is said that... this Shen Yinxu has a close relationship with Wu Shi's general Sun Wu! Moreover, he is originally from Wu. He may have ulterior motives for saying this! Maybe he is just delaying time for Wu Shi.
It’s unknown!”
"As far as I know, even if Wu Division includes the troops of Cai and Tang, they only have 60,000 troops at best, which is nothing to worry about!"
"On the contrary, if the opportunity to fight is delayed because of this, the guilt will be huge!"
