Lu Meng's forehead also had sweat stains.
He waved his hand: "You guys go down first."
Seeing that the two generals looked wrong, the messengers hurriedly left the account.
Then Lu Meng heard the entourages outside the tent whispering. The entourages were all warriors who had been experienced and knowledgeable, but the current situation was really shocking and they couldn't help but feel confused.
Lu Meng stepped out and shouted, "Who dares to rumor and kill immediately!"
So the outside of the tent became quiet again.
Lu Meng returned to the tent and was silent for a while before saying, "I had a real and undoubted tip earlier. I knew that when Lei Yuan went to Chengdu, he only brought a small number of entourages. In other words, the thousands of people in his hands were just temporary gatherings after entering Jingzhou."
"Even if this person has wings on his body, he flew from Bajun to Yidu... How many days can he have? How can he temporarily gather such elite troops in these days? How can this person command the temporary army and march straight in?" Ling Tong smiled bitterly: "How is this possible? This is simply unreasonable!"
In fact, Lei Yuan's troops had both infantry and cavalry, and even if they were purely marching, they had a limit on their speed. However, they kept approaching Jiangling, causing the urgent messengers to get closer and closer to the central army. Therefore, several groups of messengers arrived in a row, creating a great shock.
When Ling Tong calmed down a little and thought about it, he immediately thought of more, which almost made him feel a little scared.
Four years ago, on the battlefield of Jianghuai, Wu Hou was attacked by Zhang Liao's cavalry under the city of Hefei. Many outstanding generals were killed and injured. After this battle, Wu Hou lost confidence in expanding the direction of Jianghuai from his bones and tried to find another way.
Of course, the new direction is in Jingzhou.
Ling Tong himself had never fought with the Jingzhou army, and he had no way to clearly judge the strength of the Jingzhou army before. But he had been hesitating: Will Liu Bei's strength be weaker than Cao Cao? Is Liu Bei's generals not as brave as Zhang Liao?
At this moment, a general like Ling Tong, who had experienced many battles, knew deeply what Lei Yuan's use of troops and such a long-distance marching and continuous combat represented.
This represents the soldiers' trust in the coach beyond imagination.
This means that the soldiers have undergone rigorous training and are tough and good at fighting elite soldiers.
This means that Lei Yuan did not take the numerical advantage of the Jiangdong Army seriously at all. He just gathered the power of a county and had the courage to face tens of thousands of Jiangdong Army!
Of course he is not seeking death. If he dares to do this, it proves that he is confident and capable of getting out of it!
To put it another way, it is not about Xie Jing's troops, but the three camps in the eastern part of Nanjun and the three lieutenants led a total of 7,000 people. In just three hours, they were beaten to collapse. How could Lei Yuan not have the intention to sweep away the troops around Jiangling?
For a moment, Ling Tong's hands and feet were a little chilled, as if he was about to see a tragedy reenactment under Hefei City.
Such a powerful enemy is really better than Zhang Liao?
Why bother provoking such a powerful enemy?
Lei Yuan is already like this, so what about Guan Yu, who is known as the enemy of ten thousand people?
This time, Jiangdong dispatched a army that was full of power; it was right to attack the public security first, and to establish important towns such as Tang, and cut off the traffic of Jingzhou waterways; it was right to encircle the Yidao, Jiangling and other important towns such as Jingzhou, and it was right to strangle Jingzhou's throat. But when all plans came to an end, the problem that could not be avoided is:
Who can match Guan Yu and Lei Yuan’s troops?
Ling Tong couldn't control his inner suspicion and fear. He asked in a deep voice: "The current situation is the situation we set for Lei Yuan?"
Lu Meng was still pondering, and Ling Tong raised his voice: "This person broke the situation with his strength, and he was about to smash the chess piece and overturn the case!"
"We have considered the situation where Lei Yuan will be in Jingzhou! According to expectations, even if this person arrives, he can only organize troops temporarily, and it is far from being compared with his headquarters in Jiaozhou. As long as he is slightly entangled with Xie Jing, Xu Ling, Zhai Dan and Shende troops arranged in the rear can follow up one after another to use their military strength to destroy their aura. The mainland adviser can also send a small number of elite troops to intercept Yiling's direction in time, so that Lei Yuan's advance and retreat will be lost... Tomorrow, the troops of Wu Hou will be large, and even if they use their lives to fill it, it will be enough to crush this guy to death. But I really didn't expect..."
Lu Meng was obviously upset.
He just tried his best to control his emotions, but he couldn't help but talk for a long time as if he was explaining, and finally let out a breath of turbid air: "I really didn't expect this man to be brave enough to approach Jiangling directly!"
"Zi Ming, the headquarters of Wu Hou will not arrive tonight. We have a total of 30,000 troops under Jiangling City. It is not considered the loss of the siege. Only Lei Yuan will defeat one-quarter of the army when he comes! This is a sign of our great defeat!" Ling Tong was the subordinate of Wu Hou's favorite, so he spoke without any scruples. He grabbed the map and looked at it: "Now the south is your central army, and the east is me. Since Lei Yuan is heading straight to Ji Nancheng, he is the first to be He Gongmiao."
"He Gongmiao cannot stop Lei Yuan. If he is defeated, Lei Yuan's momentum will be even more unstoppable. All of us will become a joke and shame our ancestors! Even if we pay for our lives, we cannot bear the consequences of losing control of the overall situation!" Ling Tong praised and criticized the robe without hesitation, and patted the long knife on his waist: "Zi Ming, you have to send someone to urge Wu Hou to launch reinforcements as soon as possible. I will lead the troops immediately and fight against Lei Yuan to the death!"
Lu Meng frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Don't expect to encircle and annihilate Lei Yuan's troops now. You must block their way first!" Ling Tong said impatiently: "Jinan City is not far from Tuo Water. During our time of hesitation, Lei Yuan has already led his troops to approach! Even if this person retreated in the end, as long as they are allowed to approach Jiangling City, they can shout twice... The morale of the defenders will definitely be greatly boosted, and there will be big trouble! The soldiers who died in battle in the past two days will be in vain!"
"Public record." Lu Meng suddenly called out.
Ling Tong was excited and took a step forward: "At."
"The main body of the whole family was lost in the city of Hefei several years ago. Are you willing to bear such losses for the second time?"
"For the great cause of Wu Hou, I can't even hesitate to this body, let alone the troops and children?"
"Then you go." Lu Meng said in a deep voice: "But not only do you block Lei Yuan, but you also want you to do your best to entangle Lei Yuan's troops at all costs. As long as you can entangle them, at the right time, I have the means to defeat this person."
This plan to capture Jingzhou has clearly been deduced countless times, and Lu Meng was confident that there were no loopholes. But Lei Yuan drove forward and forced the loopholes... What if he did it?
Then you can only use special means.
Ling Tong was slightly stunned, and a gleam in his eyes flashed. When he was about to speak, Lu Meng said heavily: "This is all for the great cause of Wu Hou!"
Ling Tong gave a deep gift and turned around and left.
Lu Meng stood at the door of the central army tent, watching Ling Tong wave whips and galloping past the village burned by the army.
Behind Lu Meng, the curtain behind the central army's tent was lifted up. As the armor sounded, a person walked out.
The man said in a deep voice: "Ling Tong Ling Gongji, I remember him."
"oh?"
"On that day, our two armies fought. This king was in the enemy and killed dozens of my subordinates. He is worthy of the tiger minister in Jiangdong, and is worthy of being a loyal and brave man under Sun Cheqi's command. He is worthy of his reputation."
Regarding such a topic, Lu Meng really didn't know what to say, so he could only say "hey".
This person in the camp was an important foreign aid for the Jiangdong Army to raid Jingzhou this time.
Jiangdong's raid on Jingzhou this time was indeed a defeat to the alliance, and the premise of defeating the alliance was that Wu Hou had new allies and found a more beneficial path to his side.
The so-called anti-Cao Xinghan Alliance formed after the Battle of Chibi was maintained for four or five years with the Sun-Liu Alliance as the core.
In four or five years, Liu Bei, with the cover of this alliance, successively annexed the territory of Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu and Shi Xie, and infiltrated his influence into Liangzhou where Ma Chao was located, expanding his strength by more than multiples. However, Jiangdong was always trapped in a corner, either hitting a wall in the Jianghuai River or being blocked by Jiaozhou.
From this perspective, Liu Bei's ally is actually as hateful as Cao Cao's enemy. An ally who has always focused on suppressing Jiangdong's strength is completely harmful to Jiangdong. Even if Liu Bei is Wu Hou's brother-in-law.
After all, in this chaotic world, only strength can be relied on!
So, some kind of transformation went smoothly.
That's why Sima Yi went to Jianye that day to ask for the Marquis of Wu, and on behalf of Duke Cao and Duke Wu reached a secret agreement to work together to fight against Liu Bei.
But who can trust others easily by Cao and Sun?
When and under what conditions should we work together against the enemy? To what extent should we work together? How should the strengths and weaknesses of both sides complement each other? What can both sides gain from cooperation? How should both sides ensure the authenticity and reliability of this cooperation? How can we ensure that the other party in cooperation does not stab the deadly sharp blade at our side?
Countless clauses cannot be expressed in words, but countless clauses must be finalized by the heads of both parties. Sima Yi, who represents Cao's family, and Yu Fan, who represents Sun's family, secretly traveled between Yecheng and Jianye dozens of times in the past period. It was not until not long ago that the final consensus was reached.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of this cooperation, just ten days ago, Wu Hou sent Yu Fan to Hefei. There was a young man among the people who accompanied him, the eldest son of Wu Hou Deng.
Although Sun Deng did not enter Hefei, he worked with his guests to boat on the Feishui River and discussed Confucianism with Wen Hui, the governor of Yangzhou who met with light chariots from the city.
If such a situation is spread, it will cause Wu Hou to bear huge political pressure; and if this move itself cannot win enough benefits on the battlefield, it will inevitably bring about a huge backlash that Wu Hou can't bear. But Wu Hou has decided.
Since you are in troubled times, you will retreat if you don’t advance. If you want to gain something, you must be prepared to pay the price.
With this as a guarantee, Wu Hou successfully invited foreign players, and then he could leave many sons on Jingxiang's chess floor at any time.
Lu Meng sighed.
Unfortunately, this son is so critical that he shouldn't have fallen behind so early. With Lu Meng's original intention, he didn't want to use this son; even if he uses it, this shouldn't be prepared for Lei Yuan.
But now it seems that the development of the situation is beyond expectations, and this son has to be left behind.
He turned sideways and nodded slightly to the man beside him: "The powerful enemy suddenly arrives and has to deal with it. I hope you can help me."
