At that time, Sun Quan was playing chess with his retainers. When he saw Lu Xun coming, he was very happy and said, "Come and see, how is my move?" Lu Xun looked at the chess game and found that the situation on Sun Quan's side was severe and had been ruthless by the other party.
The blacksword surrounded him. If he couldn't find the breath, the entire army would be destroyed. He reminded him: "The north is strong, why don't the king plan to go west?"
Reply: "I have a layout in the west, no need to worry!"
Lu Xun had no choice but to wait for King Wu to finish the chess game. The final outcome was a draw. Because Sun Quan found a way out by connecting the west, he finally smashed the plan to siege the blacksword in the north.
When the game ended, Sun Quan realized that Lu Xun had been waiting for a while, and quickly sent someone to bring a seat to express his apology, saying, "Look at my attention, I have been waiting for the Grand Governor for a long time. I don't know what the Grand Governor is doing here.
?”
Reply: "I heard recently that the Prime Minister of Western Shu Zhuge Liang led a large army to attack the north and had captured Tianshui and Anding and other three counties. Now he is stationed in Qishan and is preparing to attack the Central Plains. The Wei Lord Cao Rui personally descended to Luoyang to command."
Sun Quan nodded and said, "I know all this. Western Shu wants to support the Han Dynasty, and it is normal for the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains."
Lu Xun said again: "So Your Majesty still knows that Xiangyang City has mobilized all the troops and is preparing to attack Fancheng and insert it into the Central Plains?"
After hearing this, Sun Quan was a little surprised and said, "Two troops were sent, it seems that Western Shu is strong under the rule of the new emperor!"
Lu Xun bowed and handed Sima Yi's letter over, saying, "I received a letter from Sima Yi on the way here, and asked the king to take a look."
Sun Quan's result letter, read it separately, the content is: Three-legged tripods stand together, the people are stable, now Western Shu has developed an unknown army, and two groups of attacks and captures the Central Plains. If the thieves succeed, then Western Shu's next goal will be to go south, what will the King of Wu at that time
Self-protection? In the early stage, the misunderstanding between the Wei State and the Wu State was all because the ministers slandered the Wei lord Cao Pi. Now that Cao Rui has ascended the throne, he is willing to form an alliance with Eastern Wu Yong, hoping that Eastern Wu can lead his troops to Xiangyang and balance his abilities.
After seeing it, a trace of solemnity flashed on Sun Quan's face and asked, "How do you think about the Grand Governor?"
Reply: "I pay attention to political affairs in Nanjun, Jingzhou every day. Now the soldiers and horses in Xiangyang City have left the city. It is said that the new emperor Yuyi was even under house arrest by the lord of Xiangyang City. Western Shu will soon be in chaos. We can take the opportunity to seize some land.
It’s also good for future generations.”
After hearing this, Sun Quan hesitated and said, "In the past, we attacked Jingzhou and killed Guan Yu and his son, which led to Guan Yu's death with hatred and revenge. Now that we are reincarnated, is it inappropriate? Deng Zhi has formed an alliance with us and betrayed me so much.
, Are you laughed at by the people of the world?”
Lu Xun said: "Now it is forced by the situation. Just imagine that if the two groups of Western Shu have sent troops, if they seized a large tract of territory in the Central Plains, they would not care about the alliance. They would definitely find excuses to send troops to the Eastern Wu. At that time, it would be too late.
, Please think twice about the King of Wu!”
Sun Quan nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then do what you said."
Lu Xun bowed and left. He returned to Jingzhou Nanjun overnight, summoned the prefect of the city and the generals to discuss, and determined the time for the reprimand. Three days later, he set out from Jingzhou Nanjun, arrived at the entrance of Hulugu and sent troops to Maicheng.
As the front was the general of the Wu army, Pan Yang. He brought a capacity of 20,000 Wu troops and soon came to the bottom of Maicheng and found that the Shu army was guarding the city wall. However, the military discipline was not very good. Many soldiers were drinking on the city wall.
He also took off his clothes.
Pan Yang smiled and said, "The Xiangyang City Army is so incompetent. The Grand Governor is worried too much. He should order an attack as soon as possible. Let us recover the lost territory in Jingzhou." After saying that, he ordered the soldiers to attack the entire line, but he did not accept the force of the sow and attacked Mai.
city.
When Huang Da, the prefect of Maicheng, saw the enemy attacking, was so scared that his butt was urinated. He put on his clothes and prepared to escape to Xiangyang, but was caught by Pan Yang and captured alive.
After Huang Da was arrested, he cried and said, "General, don't kill me. I say everything. I am willing to surrender!"
So Pan Yang came to interrogate himself, and Huang Da quickly took everything. It turned out that in Xiangyang City, Huang Shumin sent someone to put Yu Yi under house arrest, and at the same time ordered Xiaoli and Huang Mochou to be the front, and he had already over-rewarded the troops.
Chunze guarded Xiangyang, and as for Maicheng, Huang Da was asked to guard it, and there were not many soldiers left.
Pan Yang felt strange and asked, "Isn't Huang Shumin afraid of the Eastern Wu attacking?"
He replied: "The new emperor went to Xiangyang City to stop Huang Shumin, saying that the Eastern Wu might have a sneak attack, but Huang Shumin just refused to listen and even put the new emperor under house arrest."
In this way, Pan Yang completely understood the whole story, and he sent someone to report to the Central Army Lu Xun overnight.
After receiving the notice, Lu Xun immediately led a large army into Maicheng and summoned Pan Yang to discuss and said, "It seems that the wise people have the same knowledge. Zhuge Liang and Yu Yi's ideas are correct. Yu Yi even came to inform him in person. Unfortunately,
It was because the Western Shu court had too weak control over Xiangyang City, and Yu Yi did not realize that Huang Shumin had such ambition, and he did not expect that now it was God to bless me, Dongwu." After saying that, he ordered Pan Yang to continue moving forward and agreed to whom
Whoever gets it to Xiangyang is the first priority.
Maicheng is the gateway to the southeast of Xiangyang City. Once Maicheng is broken, Xiangyang City will lose its barrier and follow a small road and go up the river without any obstacles.
To be on the safe side, Lu Xun also mobilized the navy of the Eastern Wu and went upstream along the Yangtze River to echo the troops on the land, making complete preparations.
In Xiangyang City, Yu Yi was under house arrest. After Zhuge Shan was teased by Yu Yi, she never went to see him again. She could only help Lei Chunze guard Xiangyang City. As for the other soldiers, they were all transferred away.
Until a dark and windy night a month later, the female soldier suddenly came to report that Yu Yi had escaped and didn't know where he went.
Lei Chunze hurriedly took Zhuge Shan to see, only to see that the female soldier guarding outside the door had already lying on the ground, as if he was in a coma. When the doctor woke up and asked about the situation, the female soldier replied: "I just felt a headache."
I was about to break up, and then I was unconscious."
Lei Chunze sent soldiers to search in the inner room, found some drugs, took them to the prescription for identification, and then realized that it was a drug. He sighed and said to Zhuge Shan: "This is a big deal. You can send someone to inform you overnight as soon as possible.
Marquis of Jingzhou, what to do?”
When Zhuge Shan got the order, he sent someone to implement it. Suddenly a spy came to report that many warships appeared on the river and a group of people appeared under the city of Xiangyang.
Lei Chunze was very surprised after hearing this, and hurriedly brought Zhuge Shan to the city wall again. He saw that the city was full of Eastern Wu troops. Pan Yang sat on the war horse and pointed the gun at Lei Chunze and said, "Our governor has already predicted it."
When you attack Fancheng, Xiangyang City is now empty, I specially sent me to attack, quickly open the city gate and surrender, otherwise you will be killed without leaving any armor."
After hearing this, Lei Chunze was furious and said, "The shameless thief actually betrayed the alliance and attacked secretly!"
After hearing this, Pan Yang laughed and said, "Grandmaster Weiming. If you allow you two to attack the Central Plains, after the Central Plains is captured, the next step is our Jingzhou Nanjun, so we have to start first!"
