Chapter 131 Lu Xun recommends himself and civil strife is about to begin(1/2)
In the original history, after Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor, he was angered by the death of Guan Yu and the loss of Jingzhou. He ignored the dissuasion of his ministers and resolutely launched the Eastern Expedition.
Faced with the situation when Liu Bei led tens of thousands of troops to march eastward, Sun Quan appointed Lu Xun as the commander-in-chief of the Jiangdong army to resist Liu Bei's army.
As a result, a historically famous battle of Yiling took place in Yidu County.
In that battle, Yiling was filled with flames, and the Jiangdong army represented by Lu Xun achieved a complete victory.
In that battle, Ji Han lost all his elite troops, Liu Bei was beaten to the point where his entire army was nearly wiped out, and he died in depression.
Lu Xun became famous for this battle. With this battle, Lu Xun gradually became the leading general of the Jiangdong army, and he also became a stabilizing force in maintaining the stability of the Wu Kingdom.
The Lu Xun that Mi Yang faced now was in his heyday.
The Battle of Yiling occurred in history in 221 AD, and now it is at the end of 219 AD, less than a year and a half apart.
Compared with him in history, Lu Xun now should be almost the same in terms of his talents in strategy and formation.
Among the four major governors in Jiangdong, Lu Su was good at strategy, Lu Meng was good at tactics, and only Zhou Yu and Lu Xun were all-rounders.
Combining military and political affairs with both military and political skills, how could Mi Yang not be worried about such an enemy?
Mi Yang was thinking rapidly in his mind about what he should do next.
According to previous intelligence, during Lu Meng's sneak attack on Jingzhou, Lu Xun was used by the Jiangdong side as a pawn to confuse Guan Yu and led his troops to garrison at Lukou.
But as Mi Yang changes history, many things have changed in unpredictable directions.
Perhaps it was because of Lu Meng's defeat that Lu Xun had the opportunity to lead his troops to the front line.
According to Lu Xun's ability, Lu Meng had no choice but to retreat, but that doesn't mean he had no choice.
Mi Yang couldn't guess what Lu Xun's strategy would be for a moment.
Therefore, Mi Yang had no choice but to make arrangements in advance to achieve a great victory like he did against Lu Meng.
While Mi Yang was deep in thought, Wang Hong saw a look of worry on Mi Yang's face since he heard that more than 10,000 enemy reinforcements were coming, led by a general named Lu.
So he asked Mi Yang, "Does the chief secretary know who the general named Lu is?"
Mi Yang thought about it and replied, "If my prediction is correct, it should be Lu Xun and Lu Boyan."
Hearing Mi Yang say that it would be Lu Xun, Wang Hong's face showed curiosity.
Who is this person?
Because Jiangdong is close to Jingzhou, Wang Hong thinks he knows a lot about the famous generals in Jiangdong, but he has never heard of Lu Xun.
Wang Hong believed that since Lu Xun was not very famous, it should not be the reason why Mi Yang looked worried now.
I think Mi Yang might be worried about the newly arrived Jiangdong army of more than 10,000 people.
Therefore, Wang Hong said to Mi Yang, "Why should the chief secretary be worried?"
"After successive great victories, the Lord's reputation is far-reaching. Now everyone in the city is united. It doesn't matter if the enemy army increases its troops by more than ten thousand."
"Under the fortified city, they will only be defeated."
Mi Yang's two great victories had already convinced Wang Hong.
And even if Sun Quan's new army has more than 10,000 troops, won't it only be restored to the original 100,000 troops at most?
Mi Yang was not afraid before, so why should Mi Yang be too worried now?
Hearing what Wang Hong said, Mi Yang couldn't help but feel a little funny.
He was not worried about the tens of thousands of new troops outside the city, he was worried about Lu Xun.
Mi Yang was about to correct Wang Hong's point of view, but because of Wang Hong's persuasion, he instantly came to his senses.
Nowadays, Lu Xun's reputation is not great.
Because Lu Xun's voice was silent, Wang Hong would mistakenly think that he was worried about the tens of thousands of new Jiangdong soldiers.
Because Lu Xun was not well-known, Lu Meng had suggested to Sun Quan that Lu Xun should take his place and lead troops to garrison Lukou to paralyze Guan Yu.
And according to the content in the book "Baodian of Fighting Sun", although Xu Xiang recorded Lu Xun in detail, among the records of Jiangdong generals, Lu Xun was only ranked in the middle, neither above nor below.
Xu Xiangnai was a native of Jiangdong and a close official of Sun Quan.
The order of his ranking is based on the current status of Jiangdong generals in Jiangdong.
In other words, in this world, he is the only one who knows that Lu Xun will be a famous general in the future, and he is the only one who knows that Lu Xun will be the pinnacle of Jiangdong in the future.
At present, Sun Quan does not know this.
The current Jiangdong general is no longer Lu Meng, who respected Lu Xun, but the suspicious Sun Quan.
Sun Quan doesn't think highly of Lu Xun now, and since he is suspicious, there is a lot Mi Yang can do.
After thinking about this, Mi Yang couldn't help but show joy on his face.
When he was in Chengdu, Mi Yang once asked Fa Zhengdao: If one day the enemy's army is stronger than our army, how will our army win?
Fa Zheng's answer: If there are many soldiers, attack the generals; if there are many generals, disturb their minds.
When the enemy's troops are strong, go against their generals.
If the enemy general has many talents, then use his character to disturb his heart and defeat him.
Famous teachers may not necessarily produce great disciples, but because there is a famous teacher, his teachings can save Mi Yang from many detours.
Mi Yang ordered Wang Hong to come forward and immediately summon the city's sergeants. The more the better!
...
Sun Quan looked at Lu Xun in front of him, and he expressed the last concern in his heart.
"If our army rashly divides its forces, we will go behind the police.
With our troops scattered, what can we do if the thieves lead their troops to cover up from behind and cut off our army's food route?"
"The thieves are good at fighting, this cannot be ignored."
At the beginning, Mi Yang took the initiative to go out of the city to fight Sun Huan in order to prevent Lu Meng from dividing his troops and attacking the remaining counties in Jingzhou.
After winning a great victory, Lü Meng gave up the method of dividing his troops to advance because he was worried about losing his retreat.
Although Lu Xun's current strategy seems good, if there is no way to ensure the stability of the back road, then it is all empty talk.
Sun Quan's doubts were related to the safety of Jiangdong's army and he could not ignore them.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But since Lu Xun dared to offer such a strategy, he had naturally thought of everything.
A confident smile appeared on Lu Xun's face and he smiled: "It's not difficult to guard against this."
He continued to point his sword at the map on the wall and said, "Yidu County controls the Three Gorges and has waterways crisscrossing the territory."
"The Supreme Being does not need to send troops by land. He can order the navy to go upstream and attack Yidu."
"Everyone knows that there are two powerful naval forces today."
"One is my Jiangdong Navy, and the other is the Jingzhou Navy under Guan Yu."
"The Jingzhou navy is now outside the Han River to block the Wei army from going south.
Now there is no other navy in the hinterland of Jingzhou that can stop our Jiangdong navy from crossing the Yangtze River."
"The Supreme Lord sends troops to the capital. Whether he is marching or transporting food and grass, he can use waterways to go there."
"Although the bandits are good at fighting, there are not many boats in the public security city.
Even if he can break out of the siege, facing the mighty Yangtze River, how can he disrupt our army's food route with infantry?"
When he heard what Lu Xun said, Sun Quan's eyes lit up.
No matter how poor his military skills are, he still knows that the only way to defeat the navy army is the navy army.
Then Lu Xun said, "The Supreme Being can order soldiers to dig trenches outside the city and build horses to surround the city, and then guard the rear with a large army camp."
"No matter how good the Mi Thief is in fighting, it will be extremely difficult for him to break through the siege under the heavy guard of our army."
"Since the thieves can rely on the strength of the public security city to withstand our army's offensive."
"Of course our army can also rely on the strength of the camp and the superiority of the troops to stop the bandits from breaking through the siege!"
After Lu Xun finished explaining all his plans, he bowed deeply to Sun Quan.
At this time, Sun Quan's face suddenly became enlightened after learning all of Lu Xun's plans.
Lu Xun's strategy can be said to be interlocking, and every step that Jiangdong's army will take next is carefully planned.
Moreover, every step Lu Xun took was based on reality.
And giving full play to his own advantages made Sun Quan feel like he was clearing the clouds and seeing the blue sky.
Although there was the humiliation of Mi Yang today, Sun Quan was able to get two great talents, Sima Yi and Lu Xun, to offer suggestions one after another. This made all the humiliation in Sun Quan's heart disappear.
Sun Quan, who was beaming with joy, immediately stood up and came to Lu Xun, held his hand and said, "If we follow Boyan's plan, Boyan will be almost certain to win Jingzhou for Gu."
Facing Sun Quan's question, Lu Xun confidently replied, "If everything is planned properly and no mistakes are made, Jingzhou Xun will definitely be captured by the Supreme Being."
Ten percent!
When Lu Meng presented the timetable to Sun Quan, it was just that under his plan, Jingzhou was 80% sure to be won.
