Han Dang said to Zhou Tai: "The King of Wu appointed such a boy as the commander. I think the Eastern Wu will definitely fail. What do you think of him?"
Zhou Tai said: "Yes, I used words to test today and found that he had no plans at all. How could he resist the Shu army?"
On the second day, Lu Xun sent an order to let all the generals guard their territory and not underestimate the enemy. Everyone thought he was very cowardly and refused to stick to it.
Another day, Lu Xun raised his tent, summoned all the generals, and said, "I am appointed by the King of Wu, and the governor of all the troops. Yesterday, he had ordered many orders and was not allowed to attack. He could only stick to his own fields. Why don't you obey me
The order?”
Han Dang said: "I followed General Sun to pacify Jiangnan. The wars of all sizes and sizes have gone through hundreds of times. Some of the other generals have followed the thieves, and some have followed the kings. They are all extremely brave and some people who have lived and died. Now the lord
Appointing you as the commander of the three armies to resist the Shu army, you should make some moves earlier, allocate troops, engage in decisive battles, and plan major events, but you just ordered that you could not stand. Are you planning to go to heaven to destroy the Shu army for you? I am not
Why do those who are greedy for life and fear of death have degenerated our sharpness and sharpness like this?”
Everyone was dissatisfied, and the other generals under the camp responded and said, "General Han Dang is right. We are willing to fight to the death!"
After hearing this, Lu Xun held the King of Wu's sword in his hand and shouted: "I was originally a scholar. Now I am thanking the king's love and entrust me with such a heavy responsibility. This is because there are some things that I can take on, and I can endure humiliation and bear the burden. You guys are fine.
Keep the pass and keep the dangerous places. Don’t act rashly. Those who disobey orders should beheaded immediately!”
At this moment, the defeated soldiers in Jingzhou arrived and reported the situation to Lu Xun. Everyone was even more disappointed when they saw Lu Xun lost Jingzhou. They all left in resentment when they saw that Lu Xun had lost even Jingzhou.
But the first lord came from the pylon, and the troops were arranged to Chuankou. The joint camp was more than 700 miles away, and there were more than 40 camps in front and behind. During the day, they used flags to block the sun, and at night they used to illuminate with torches. Suddenly, a visit to the horse came to report:
"The Eastern Wu used Lu Xun as the commander-in-chief and the commander-in-chief. Lu Xun sent people from all over the place to guard the danger, so don't come out easily!"
The first lord asked: "Who is that Lu Xun?"
Ma Liang came out to the ban and said: "Lu Xun is a scholar in the Eastern Wu, and is very young and has great strategy. The previous attack on Jingzhou was not Lu Meng's idea, but Lu Xun's trick."
The first lord was furious after hearing this and said, "The trick of such a boy is to harm my second brother. Now we must capture him!" So he sent an order to speed up the marching.
Ma Liang advised: "Lu Xun's talent is no less than Zhou Yu, and you can't underestimate the enemy!"
The first master smiled and said, "How many years have I used? How could I be worse than a boy who just came out?" After saying that, he took the front army to attack various passes without caring about dissuasion.
Speaking of the expressions when Lu Xun saw everyone leaving, he knew that he had any objections to him. He summoned the defeated soldiers in Jingzhou to the camp and asked about the situation carefully. When he learned about the specific process of Xiangyang City being captured, he was very surprised and sighed: "If it is just
Liu Bei, then the Eastern Wu can defeat him. If Yu Yi is added, this person has many tricks and I am not an opponent, then the situation will be complicated." So he pardoned the defeated soldier and asked him to closely investigate Yu Yi's next attack trend.
In Fancheng, Sima Yi was ready to work and repaired the fortifications. When Yu Yi occupied Xiangyang, he was also surprised. While sending people to find Emperor Cao Pi of Wei to continue asking for troops, he also sent people to the Han River day and night on the banks of the Han River.
Patrol, build some fortifications in the city, specifically targeting things in the sky.
On the east side of Jingshan, Yu Daye led a large army down the river, with a huge momentum. It soon reached the vicinity of Maicheng. Maicheng was a small city with not many soldiers. When he heard that Yu Daye was attacking, he hurriedly led the soldiers out to surrender.
So Yu Daye took down Maicheng without any blood.
Xiaoli and Huang Mochou's soldiers arrived soon. The three of them gathered the soldiers and reported the battle situation to Yuyi. At this time, Yuyi was also marching with his troops. He was very happy when he knew the battle situation.
He ordered Huang Mochou to lead 5,000 troops to guard Maicheng, and the other troops suspended their attack on the Eastern Wu, attacked the west, and seized Changbanpo, Dangyang and other places as soon as possible to meet with the army and horses of the first lord.
In this way, the Shu army divided into two groups of troops, one by 550,000 troops led by the first lord, came out of Baidi City, and went southeast along the river, and the other by Yuyi and two hundred thousand.
The troops crossed Jingshan, took down Xiangyang City, and then went down the Han River, forming a parallel strategic geographic area.
On the other side, Lu Xun was sighing at Yu Yi, a difficult opponent, when someone suddenly reported that the first lord came to challenge with his troops.
Lu Xun was afraid that Han Dang would be too impulsive and disrupted his deployment. He hurriedly came over to watch. He saw Han Dang riding a horse on the mountain and watching. From a distance, he saw the Shu army coming from all directions. There was a yellow Luogai in the army.
The umbrella appeared and disappeared. When Han Dang saw Lu Xun coming, he invited him to watch it. He pointed to the direction of the Shu army and said, "There must be Liu Bei in the army. Let me attack and capture him alive."
Lu Xun said: "Liu Bei has won more than a dozen games with his troops. The spirit is the time to stand out. Now we should guard the high and not attack easily, otherwise it will not go smoothly, but we should also reward soldiers.
, to publicize the benefits of guards and observe the situation. Now they are walking in the plains and wilderness. It is the time to be proud. As long as I can't stand, he has no way to duel with me. He will definitely garrison the soldiers among the mountains, forests and trees.
I can use mysteries to win.”
Although Han Dang agreed verbally, he was still unwilling to accept it. The first lord sent the front team to challenge him and scolded him in various ways. Lu Xun ordered the soldiers to stuff their ears, not to listen, and not to go to fight, and personally inspected the guards.
At the gate, comfort the soldiers and ask them to stay unavailable.
The first emperor saw that Wu Jun would not leave, and he was very anxious. Ma Liang said: "Lu Xun is a very strategic person. Now His Majesty leads the army to attack, and has moved from winter to summer. He does not leave the station, but is preparing to wait until our army is in chaos. I hope
Your Majesty can be aware of it.”
The first Lord said, "What strategy can he have? He is just afraid. He has been failing before, so how dare they come out again."
Pioneer Feng Xi said: "If the air is very hot today, the soldiers are all in the flames, so it is inconvenient to drink water."
The first lord asked all camps to move to places with lush mountains and forests, close to the streams. When summer passed, he would send all his troops. Feng Xi was ordered to move all camps to places with shade of trees.
Ma Liang came out and advised: "If our army moves in this way, what should we do if the Wu army attacks?"
The first lord said: "I sent Wu Ban to camp with five thousand weak soldiers to camp near the Wu army camp. I personally selected eight thousand elite soldiers to camp in the valley. If Lu Xun knew that I was going to transfer the camp, he would definitely take advantage of the situation to attack.
You can let Wu Ban pretend to fail. If Lu Xun chases me, I will come out with my troops and cut off his retreat, and then I can capture him."
