Chapter 281 Put the pressure on Soochow and Cao Wei!
Chapter 282: Put pressure on Soochow and Cao Wei!
The government office in Guangxin City, the Cangwu County Government Office, is not only spacious, but also very gorgeous. It can be said to be splendid with carved beams and painted buildings.
The four corners of the temple are raised high, as graceful as four swallows spreading their wings and about to fly.
At this moment, Lu Xun was standing in the corridor of the government office, strolling as if deep in thought, but his determined eyes were always looking toward the northeast.
It was like passing through all these carved beams and painted buildings, famous mountains and rivers, passing through cities and towns, and finally the eyes stopped at Wujun, the heart of Soochow.
Since the capital of Soochow was moved and established, Wu County has broken away from its original mission as a political center and become a brand new economic center of Soochow.
But in Lu Xun's view, Wu County has extraordinary significance. There are more than 100,000 "family members" there who are inextricably linked to the Lu family!
He couldn't help but murmur:
——"Are they okay?"
——"Will Sun Quan embarrass them?"
It is true that Lu Xun may not be an aboveboard person, and he will be ruthless in order to achieve a certain goal.
He could compromise with his enemies, humiliate him, or plot against his uncle Lu Ji, but ever since the third brother of the Lu family came to power and became the patriarch of this generation, he, Lu Xun, valued his clan members extremely.
He has long since deeply tied the rise and fall, honor and disgrace of the Lu family in Wu County to his own person.
In this corridor, besides Lu Xun, there were also Sun Ru and Han Xuan.
Sun Ru's high fever had gone away, but her body was still a little weak. She walked to Lu Xun's side and noticed that her husband was looking northward. She asked softly: "Do you plan to continue going north? If you go north...that's Longchuan."
The city' is 'Luling County'. After that, you can go to Chaisang, or you can go to Yuzhang, Yuhang, Wujun... Jianye!"
Sun Ru had already helped Lu Xun sort out the route to the north.
Now, in Sun Ru's view, Sun Quan... is no longer his uncle. After learning a series of unknown information from "Hongyan", Sun Quan has become the opposite of Sun Ru.
Going north to conquer him was to avenge his father, but also to eliminate harm for the people!
But...when Sun Ru's words came out, Lu Xun shook his head, as if he had no intention of going north...
Han Xuan also spoke at the right time: "Master Yunqi doesn't advocate that General Lu should go north at this time!"
With this sentence…
Lu Xun turned his head and met Han Xuan's gaze. He was at a loss. He was confused, "What is the purpose of Guan Yunqi? Isn't it to go north to destroy Soochow? Could it be that he...does he have any other plans?"
"No!" Han Xuan replied calmly: "What Mr. Yunqi wants is to help General Lu and help the entire Lu family in Wu County escape from Soochow, a place of right and wrong! Get rid of the situation where trapped beasts are still fighting!"
"Hahaha...Escape from Soochow? Easier said than done?" Lu Xun laughed, "Back then, there was a nursery rhyme in Yizhou, saying that an emperor would be born there, and then there was news that Wu Yi's sister would be the queen in the future. From then on
, Zhou Gongjin wanted to escape from Soochow with his troops, what kind of strategy to divide the world, haha, that was just to hide his purpose of escaping from Soochow, but in the end, his end was not good!"
Speaking of this, Lu Xun paused.
He continued to ponder: "He, Zhou Yu, is like this. The Lu family has deep roots in Wu County. Although I, Lu Xun, have escaped from Soochow, my clan number is more than 100,000. How can so many people escape?"
this…
Hearing this, Han Xuan also raised his eyebrows and said: "One hundred thousand tribesmen, haha, if it were someone else, it would be really difficult... But if it were Master Yunqi, he would definitely have a way. We might as well wait and see what happens, and wait, and wait!"
"
at this time…
A female soldier walked quickly and whispered something in Sun Ru's ear.
Sun Ru's eyes lit up, "Bo Yan, two important people came to Cangwu specially to see you!"
"Two important people?" Lu Xun was startled.
Sun Ru continued, "One is my younger brother Sun Shao, and the other is Taishi Xiang, the only son of General Taishi Ci!"
"Is it them?" These two names made Lu Xun think of something in an instant, and also associated the purpose of their coming here. He solemnly asked: "Where are they? Take me to see them quickly!"
During the conversation between Lu Xun, Sun Ru and Han Xuan.
The gloomy clouds in the sky are getting lower and lower, as if it is about to snow at the winter solstice, and it seems that there is a strong wind in the evening.
At the end of the corridor, Sun Shao and Taishi Xiang were eagerly waiting for something.
Against the backdrop of the foggy and dark clouds in the sky, the two of them stood tall and straight, and their firm eyes seemed expressionless, but they could not contain the excitement in their hearts.
The calm before the storm is always short-lived. After just a moment, they both took a deep breath at the same time, their eyes were like blazing flames, and they looked straight at Lu Xun, and their tone of voice was extremely sincere.
Sun Shao grabbed Lu Xun's hand, "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law... you must know best, how did my father die? How did General Xu Kun die? How did General Tai Shici die? How did the Governor of Zhou die? Brother-in-law.
, you tell us, you tell Hongyan...Hongyan wants to overthrow that thief - Sun Quan!"
Hearing this, Lu Xun smiled miserably, his face as white as snow.
Sure enough, it was exactly what he thought.
He took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.
He knew that ever since he and Sun Quan stood on opposite sides, the secret of the leader of Soochow could no longer be hidden.
——"Hongyan? Is it Hongyan?"
——"The wild geese are flying south!"
…
…
The defeated Soochow soldiers fled back to Feicheng exhausted, groaning and sighing endlessly.
Gan Ning muttered bitterly: "We showed the bronze mirror first, but we were suppressed and beaten by others who showed it later. We lost our troops and generals. We are really useless!"
Xu Sheng, Jiang Qin, Ling Tong, and a group of lieutenants were also disheveled, wiping the ink from their faces and complaining: "Cao Cao can think of bronze mirrors on both sides, why didn't we think of it?"
Ling Tong calmed down and said: "Actually, it's very simple. The bronze mirror on the enemy's shield relies on the light returned by the bronze mirror on our army's armor. In this way, there is no need to escape on the battlefield. Our army only needs to quickly solve the problem."
If you lower the bronze mirror, the beam of the opponent's shield array will be broken, and you won't be killed by random arrows..."
Ling Tong is telling the truth...
In fact, the method to crack it is very simple, but he can propose it because he is a rear-guard soldier. Looking at the entire battlefield, he is a clear bystander.
It can be said that the authorities are obsessed with it.
When the two armies actually fight, the requirements for the commander before the battle are too high.
It seems... when it comes to command, Xu Sheng and Gan Ning are still weaker than Zhang Liao. As for Han Dang, maybe... he can think of this based on his many years of experience and experience.
But unfortunately... he was shot dead in the first round of arrows!
At this moment, Ling Tong mentioned it afterwards, which inevitably made Gan Ning feel uncomfortable, "Ling Tong, what do you mean? Do you want to say that if you commanded the vanguard army, it wouldn't be in such a mess? Wouldn't it be so defeated?"
"
"You Gan Ning said so yourself, I didn't say that!"
Facing the enemy who killed his father, Ling Tong showed cold eyes, tit for tat, and refused to give in.
"Hmph..." Gan Ning snorted coldly and was about to get angry, but when he saw Zhou Tai and others walking past them, and Sun Quan being carried, they immediately stopped talking...
I muttered in my heart, it was just a defeat, Wu Hou fainted? Isn't it?
Several people followed Zhou Tai to the government office anxiously.
Everyone didn't even take off their armor, their hair was unkempt, and after a long while, Sun Quan slowly stood up...
"What are the battle losses?" A soldier on the side reported: "Forty thousand people went out to fight, but only 20,000 people came back..."
"You lost 20,000 yuan in a single battle?" Sun Quan felt sad.
He is not like Cao Cao. Nine mines can replenish troops by saying that they can replenish troops. Considering the population of Soochow, the total number of troops is only over 100,000 or 20,000... This is enough to cause Sun Quan to suffer a huge trauma!
However, that's not all.
What made Sun Quan feel even more sad was not here, but behind him, behind him——
"Lord, the army was defeated today..." Xu Sheng said hesitantly.
"You all get out -" Sun Quan gave the order directly without waiting for Xu Sheng to open his mouth.
Ah... Now, all the generals looked at each other and retreated... Everyone could see that it was best not to mess with Sun Quan at this time.
After everyone retreated, only Gu Yong who was left behind opened his mouth: "My lord, after this battle was defeated, the spirit of Zhang Liao was greatly reduced. Zhang Liao's reputation for bravery will be followed by resourcefulness. I am afraid that in the future, our Soochow soldiers will
I will be even more afraid of him..."
Sun Quan lamented sadly: "Originally I thought that by capturing Hefei, Soochow would get rid of the situation of trapped beasts still fighting. Now we know that Hefei is just a city without joy, anger, and emotion. To get rid of Soochow, we have to survive.
Not Hefei, but Zhang Wenyuan!"
Sun Quan had a sullen face...
Gu Yong advised: "Lord, we are here to fight, not to fight for courage. This is not a fight between children on the street, a fight for the courage of an ordinary man. In troubled times, the battle is never a matter of victory or defeat!"
"Zhang Liao is a famous general who has never been born in the world. When fighting against Zhang Liao, the first thing you need to learn is not how to win? But how to lose well! Only when you lose without shame, and lose without being hurt, can you be better than those who only think about competing on the battlefield.
People, live longer! The generals of Soochow are not good at defeat, but my lord wants to be good at defeat, so he can only be good at defeat!"
Gu Yong's enlightenment made Sun Quan feel better, and he changed the subject: "Where is Ziyu? Let him in!"
Not long after...
Zhuge Jin walked in quickly, bowed his hands to Sun Quan.
Sun Quan asked him to describe the chaos in Jiaozhou in detail. Zhuge Jin summoned Lu Meng's third son, Lu Mu, and recounted the ups and downs in Jiaozhou.
Including how Lu Meng mixed firelighters into the grain;
How come the military stronghold including the Lu Family Army was suddenly ignited;
Including when we thought we were done, Lu Jiajun suddenly fell from the sky;
Including the Lu Jiajun colluded with Jiaozhou to capture Cangwu, and even Nanhai County surrendered.
Lu Mu narrated these things eloquently, and Zhuge Jin added in time, and painted a picture for Sun Quan of Lu Xun's chosen man, who survived the catastrophe... and was now stationed with the Lu family army on the border of Soochow, and could go north at any time.
——As the saying goes, survival is at stake.
call…
Sun Quan let out a long breath. For the first time, he felt a severe trance in his head, as if he had been hit by something heavy. He was so dizzy.
"Lu Xun...Lu Xun, haha, what a catastrophic survivor. He chose the right time to counterattack after escaping from the catastrophe!" Sun Quan pondered deeply.
"Indeed..." Zhuge Jin's face was not good-looking, "Hefei is confronting Cao's army, and Lu Xun is sending troops to the border between Jiaozhou and Soochow. At this time, the lord can't do it even if he divides his troops, or not. This is a dilemma..."
"That's right!" Sun Quan nodded heavily and let out a long sigh, "I don't believe it. He, Lu Xun, was in a desperate situation and escaped the disaster by luck... Huh, there must be someone expert behind him to help him!"
this…
Sun Quan's words put forward a brand new idea.
However, the top priority is not to consider whether there is an expert behind Lu Xun, but to resolve this precarious situation.
"Hmph..." Sun Quan snorted again, "Lu Xun has an expert to help him, but he doesn't have an expert to help him? Ziyu, please send an envoy to Jiangxia immediately to see Zijing. If it's Zijing, he must have something to do.
Can help an orphan survive such a crisis!"
——"The Governor of Lu?"
Zhuge Jin suddenly realized.
Yes, there is still Governor Lu in Soochow, and he is Soochow’s last resort...
If it were him, he would definitely be able to stabilize Soochow's precarious situation!
He...must have a way!
…
…
In Jiangxia, Yu Jin is sharpening his sword.
A messenger hurried in and handed him a letter without saying a word.
The messenger was wearing the uniform of a Huben sergeant. Seeing him, Yu Jin guessed that the letter must be from Prime Minister Cao.
The letter described the great victory of the battle between Feishui and the Soochow Army. Cao Cao's praise and appreciation for Zhang Liao could not be escaped from every word, but he never mentioned the defeat of the war at Jin.
After reading the letter, Yu Jin personally sent the messenger of the tiger warrior out of the tent, and then quickly sat back at the head of the Chinese army's tent.
"What do you mean, lord?" Dong Chao was puzzled. "You want to blame General Yu but you don't have a cold word, but every word is praising General Zhang Liao? This... what does this mean?"
"This is the Prime Minister's brilliant intention..." Yu Jin sighed with emotion: "The Prime Minister is reminding me that Zhang Liao has made great contributions. If I don't do anything, the position of the leader of the five good generals will probably have to be replaced..."
ah…
If it weren't for Yu Jin's reminder, how could Dong Chao have thought of this and quickly asked: "The Prime Minister urged General Yu to fight..."
Hu... Yu Jin breathed out softly and said with emotion: "The Prime Minister sent Le Jin and 30,000 troops to my aid because he hoped that Jiangxia would open up the situation... Jiangxia faces Shouchun in the east and Xiangfan in the west... This is the front line this time.
What’s the core of it! If I were the Prime Minister, I’d probably be impatient!”
"Then attack the city..." Dong Chao suggested, "just in time to avenge my elder brother."
"Attack the city? What should we use to attack it?" Yu Jin stood up slowly, squinting his eyes, "A bronze mirror killed more than 10,000 of our troops. Can we attack the city with today's morale? The more times like this, the more Prime Minister Cao
Urge, we must also focus on stability..."
"But... Prime Minister Cao..." Dong Chao was a little worried.
"The general is outside, and your orders are not accepted..." Yu Jin said firmly, "What's more, I, Yu Jin, commander of the army, have always only done the right things and never done things that are honorable!"
At this point, Yu Jin changed the topic: "Is everything going well with General Zhu Ling?"
"Good luck!" Dong Chao was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Good luck, in recent days there have indeed been unknown Xiaoqi quietly exploring several of our army's camps, including Bishan, Hengshan, and Jiming Mountain.
A place to store food..."
"Let them check-"
Yu Jin squinted his eyes and muttered softly: "Now the pressure is on General Zhu Ling!"
yes…
Yu Jin and Zhu Ling weaved a large net, tying up the entire Jiangxia, Bishan, Xiangfan, and Hengshan one by one... gathering the situation of the entire Jiangxia into a star-studded chessboard.
Yu Jin did not forget to add another question: "Have General Le Jin's 30,000 troops arrived?"
Outside the Anlu City Government Office, tight guards stood.
A famous scout filed in, reporting their latest discovery.
Liao Hua, Zhuge Ke, Zhang Xingcai, Shi Wu, Mi Lu, all the generals standing in the main hall of the government office looked thoughtful.
Guan Lin's face looked a little complicated. He nodded and shook his head from time to time as he listened to the report of a famous scout, as if he had a complicated mind...
At this moment the first scout is reporting.
"According to the route ordered by the prefect, the enemy's grain storage place was indeed found in Jiming Mountain. It is located in a valley...the grain and grass stored there are at least more than 300,000 dan."
"There are cockcrows everywhere in Cockcrow Mountain? How did you sneak in?" Guan Lin asked directly after hearing the scout's report.
The scout told the truth: "According to the order of the prefect, a note was dug out under the tallest tree at the entrance of Jiming Mountain with the 'secret code' written on it. We put on Cao Jun's uniforms and followed the code."
, unobstructed!”
Just like the Battle of Guandu, after Xu You surrendered to Cao Cao, what he brought to Cao Cao... In addition to the important news about Wuchao's grain harvesting, what was even more critical was the secret code Xu You brought to Wuchao.
This allowed Cao Cao to lead 5,000 elite cavalry, put on Yuan Jun's uniforms, and be able to sneak into the center of Wuchao and attack suddenly.
If there was no secret signal, Cao Cao and these five thousand cavalry would have been exposed early in the morning.
The fire in Wuchao cannot be lit at all!
In the Battle of Guandu, Wuchao’s secret code is this...
Today, the battle between Jiangxia and Jiming Mountain is the same!
As for the note under the tree, the code in the note was told by Zhu Ling to Guan Lin.
It was that night three days ago that Zhu Ling asked Guan Lin to enter the account alone.
(Ps: Zhu Ling and his son need to confiscate their weapons after surrendering, so it is not dangerous to enter the account alone!)
According to Zhu Ling's words, he brought a thousand soldiers to surrender... and brought the defense plans of the entire three military villages, but these were not enough. In order to perform meritorious service, he specially hid another thousand reliable confidants in Jiming Mountain.
.
The secret code under the tree was placed by them. If necessary, they could even put the time when "Cao Jun" was on duty and the time when he changed defenses there...
Now it seems that this information is accurate.
What the scout reported was exactly the same as what Zhu Ling mentioned, and there was no mistake at all.
In other words, according to this piece of information, as long as Guan Lin wants to...he can invade the interior of Jiming Mountain and even burn Yu Jin's food and grass with a fire.
"continue…"
Guan Lin didn't show any emotion or anger on his face, he just held his chin and muttered occasionally.
The second scout reported: "Cao Jun's Bishan Camp, Hengshan Camp... Tanma's hastily drawn defense plan is exactly the same as the prefect's defense plan... The enemy's food and grass transportation route is also not bad at all!"
As he spoke, the scout asked his subordinates to unfold two defense drawings, one of which was provided by Zhu Ling and was very detailed...
In one picture, Tan Ma is drawn on the outside, which is a bit rough...
But there is no problem with the strength of several iconic defense points!
Deduced from this...
Obviously, the defense plans of various military villages provided by Zhu Ling are also true...
This undoubtedly made most people in the entire big tent have more faith in Zhu Ling and his son.
"Anymore?"
Guan Lin then asked...
Next, the third, fourth, and fifth scouts reported one after another. What they reported was the route, so Yu Jin quietly cleared all the roadblocks and made the journey smooth.
In other words, once Jiming Mountain is stormed, Bishan Camp and Hengshan Camp can support Jiming Mountain within half an hour.
The establishment of the entire defense line is extremely consistent with Yu Jin's consistent combat style.
Rigorous thinking, impregnable!
In addition, the entire defense is very real, not the kind that is full of flaws and makes people feel fake at first glance... ridiculously fake!
Even Guan Lin was emotional.
——"This is ten times more real than "Zhou Yu hits the yellow cover"!"
Even Guan Lin murmured in his heart...
Could it be that he is overthinking it? The surrender of Zhu Ling and his son is true!
On the contrary, he, Guan Lin, judged the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!
As the scouts all retreated after reporting, only the most core people under Guan Lin were left in the main hall of the government office.
Guan Lin also stood up from his seat and sighed.
"Now that I have heard this, you all understand the situation. Come on, let's talk about it... Can the food and grass in Jiming Mountain be burned?"
