When Cao Zhi heard Lu Kang mention Jiang Xiaman, he was immediately surprised and understood part of Lu Kang's plan. Cao Zhi rolled his eyes and continued after Lu Kang's words: "The governor's plan is to use this snow to trap people."
Are you going to encircle and annihilate the Jiangxia barbarians in one fell swoop?"
Lu Kang listened to Cao Zhi's words, walked a few steps on the snow, supported a pine branch, and said: "Haha... The captain is worthy of being a young man. He can understand everything. Yes, although I am the governor,
He is the governor of this county, but the territory currently controlled by the government is very limited. The barbarians, Zheng Bao and his like are all hidden dangers in Lujiang. Look at the many places around Wancheng that have been conquered by barbarians. I can't see how powerful the thieves are.
This time, the opportunity came. God had mercy on our Lujiang soldiers and civilians. It finally really snowed. As a result, the tens of thousands of enemy invaders besieging Wancheng lost their backup. In addition, there was a shortage of food and grass supplies. There was no need to wait until the snow stopped.
At this time, they will definitely give up the siege temporarily, and wait until they flee to other places to loot and replenish their supply of food, grass and soldiers before they can come back again."
Lu Kang circled around on the snow in the courtyard, looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh of relief, as if he had integrated into his great plan, and said slowly and with concentration: "I will not give them a chance.
This time I will completely solve the hidden pain in Lujiang, Jingfu, Zheng Bao and other rats will all die!"
When he said these words, Lu Kang was so resolute and ruthless, and seemed full of confidence. Cao Zhi had to secretly admire Li Ru's accuracy in adjusting the situation. If Li Ru hadn't said the last words before, Cao Zhi would have been so surprised at this time.
Mouth. At the same time, Cao Zhi felt a dull pain in his heart. Lu Kang was only thinking about his own great cause. He had never considered the life and death of the poor people in Lujiang in this snow disaster.
While Cao Zhi was thinking wildly, he suddenly said: "In this disaster, the heavy snow will kill many thieves invisible, but what about the people who were affected by the disaster? There will also be countless casualties, right?"
Lu Kang was stunned. He didn't expect Cao Zhi to say this. Lu Kang seemed to be polite on the surface, full of benevolence and morality, but in fact he was ruthless. As a feudal ruler, he only wanted to make great achievements, so how could the lives and deaths of the poor people be affected.
He laughed, his face immediately dropped like cooling noodles, and said: "Captain has a kind heart, and Lu Kang also cares about the people, and also wants to save the people who are now suffering from hunger and cold, but Captain, you see
Look at the people of Lujiang. They have been plundered by Jiangxia barbarians all year round, and there is no day of peace. If you want more people to live in peace, you can only harden your heart now. After all, the matter at hand is more important, and it involves thousands of people.
In the future life of millions of people, sometimes they have no choice but to bear the pain and give up their love."
Cao Zhi actually understood the principle of a strong man breaking his arm, but he was not as impassioned as what Lu Kang said.
When Lu Kang faced the expressionless Cao Zhi, he thought that Cao Zhi was moved by his wise words. He continued proudly: "If you are dissatisfied with the captain, I have already contacted all the ministries in Yangzhou. The governor Chen Wen and the governor of Jiujiang Qiao Xuan are here."
After Wancheng was besieged for half a month, the city began to mobilize troops and horses from the periphery to move closer to Wancheng to encircle and annihilate the enemy. The troops and horses I deliberately left in Lujiang counties had quietly moved to the vicinity of Qianshan as soon as the battle in Wancheng began, just waiting for
As soon as the reinforcements arrive, we can launch a general offensive, and then I will create a myth in this Lujiang County."
When Cao Zhi heard that the state capital was also involved, he immediately asked: "How many soldiers and horses can the state capital plus Jiujiang County have? How can it be possible to encircle and annihilate these tens of thousands of troops?"
Lu Kang kept saying "Huh!" and said: "The captain is still too young. There are still counties and states that are abiding by the military system. You captured Danyang for Chen Wen just for Zhou Xin. In this year, he only
Danyang has recruited more than 10,000 troops, and now the state's military strength is no less than 20,000, which is completely different from when you left."
Cao Zhi's expression changed continuously, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Yes! Didn't Cao Cao recruit many soldiers and horses in Danyang? How could Chen Wen be able to take advantage of others before he was full? He also had food and grass sent by himself, and the military pay was just in the previous period.
It was delivered on time, which was exactly what Chen Wen wanted. No wonder Chen Wen praised him so vigorously. When Cao Zhi sent someone to send back the batch of things, it probably solved Chen Wen's urgent need. Alas! Lu Kang, your heart has blossomed.
If the plan is really going to succeed, I, Cao Zhi, will be of great help to you! Of course, you cannot explain this to Lu Kang, only he and Chen Wen know it."
Lu Kang had been secretly observing Cao Zhi's reaction. After seeing Cao Zhi's expression change several times, he continued: "Actually, Lieutenant, don't be offended. Governor Chen and I have been hiding many things from you. It's not that we can't trust you, but that we haven't arrived yet."
At that time, I had rarely interfered with county affairs in the past few days, I was just busy with these contacts and arrangements."
Cao Zhi chuckled to himself and said: "No wonder the Wancheng Chuanshe is so busy, and the prefect often fails to see the end of the dragon. Cao Zhi understands that this matter is serious. Before the plan is implemented, the prefect and the governor strengthen
Confidentiality is the way to go."
Lu Kang said "Yes!", and Mimi said with a smile: "The captain can understand the general outline. Governor Chen and I are both pleased, but now there is a slight problem with the whole plan!"
Cao Zhi frowned and said "Oh!" and thought to himself: "Finally the topic is here. Lu Kang has told me so much for no reason. There must be something that needs me. Otherwise, why bother with so much trouble."
Cao Zhi said "Oh!" After finishing, he leaned forward and said: "I wonder what problems there are with such a clever plan by the prefect?"
Lu Kang said: "It depends on the situation that the blizzard will lighten up in a day or two in two days. I am observing the situation and am worried that Zheng Bao will be supported by his water thieves on the waterway and escape in advance. At present, the roads all around are damaged by snow. If you want to
There is still a way to go by water. The rivers in the south have never been frozen, but so many rebels want to retreat. They can only go through Ruxuwu in the northeast, and Zheng Bao can escape back to Chaohu. Originally, I had a Sima, so
It is Yu Sima who is your defender in Dongcheng. He was originally a water pirate. He has a group of people who are very brave and good at fighting. They charge into battle and are not afraid of death. It would be most suitable for him to lead the team to ambush Zheng Bao, but Wa
If the tank is broken without leaving the well, the general will inevitably die before the battle. He was killed by an enemy arrow in the brain during the bloody battle to defend the city the day before yesterday, so now he can't find a suitable replacement, so the captain is here for this purpose.
"
It's obvious enough that Lu Kang wants Cao Zhi to replace Yu Sima and lead a team out of the city to ambush the remnants of the enemy who may be escaping. Reminiscent of the dispute between Lu Kang and Lu Jun just now, this is probably what he was talking about.
.Lu Kang would naturally not let his son go on such a dangerous mission.
Cao Zhi took a step forward and said, "Do you want Cao Zhi to go, the governor?" Cao Zhi was not a three-year-old boy, so how could he agree to Lu Kang's offer in one fell swoop?
