Wu Jing got up early, had breakfast, and inspected the soldiers' drills in the camp. However, Wu Jing could not control what Wu Jing could control, namely the soldiers under his command, Sun Ben, and Sun Ce, and Wu Jun's troops.
To mobilize Wu Jun's army, we also need to negotiate with the other party.
This time when the war started, Wu Jing came with his troops. Liu Yao took charge of the county seat to ensure the stability of the rear.
While Wu Jing was on patrol, a soldier came flying over and reported: "Master Fu, the sentinel is reporting urgently."
Wu Jingcheng nodded, returned to the Chinese army tent, looked at the sentinel, and said, "What's going on?"
The sentry detective said: "Reporting to the Lord, our spies found that Lu Xuan's army was divided. Lu Xuan led his people towards Pingshan Mountain, intending to bypass Luogao Mountain and attack Danyang County. Lu Xuan's troops were large in number and powerful.
There are at least 13,400 people."
Wu Jingdao: "Are you sure?"
The sentry said firmly: "I am sure, because Lu Xuan's camp did not have Lu Xuan's handsome flag and banner. Since Lu Xuan dared to use the banner, it is naturally impossible for him to cheat."
Wu Jing waved his hand and said: "Go down."
"Here!"
The sentry turned and retreated.
Wu Jing ordered: "If anyone comes, inform Sun Ce and Sun Ben will come to discuss matters."
The soldiers went to inform him, but not long after, brothers Sun Ce and Sun Ben entered hand in hand and bowed to Wu Jing.
Wu Jing said: "Don't worry about these false gifts. The news just came back from the sentry. Lu Xuan took 13,400 soldiers and took the direction of Pingshan. He wanted to bypass Luogao Mountain and attack Danyang County. What's left of Lu Xuan
Troops, continue marching towards Luo Gaoshan. What do you two brothers think of this matter?"
Sun Ce's eyes flashed and he said: "Uncle, Lu Xuan's intention is to force us to divide our troops. I think there is nothing to consider, just attack all the way. If Lu Xuan doesn't divide his troops, that's it. Now that Lu Xuan divides his troops, it's time to
This is the best time for us to eliminate Lu Xuan. Leave a few people to guard Luo Gaoshan, and we will go straight to the direction of Pingshan and completely wipe out Lu Xuan."
Sun Ben nodded and said: "Master Fu, I agree with Bo Fu's suggestion. At this time, the focus is on taking care of Lu Xuan. After destroying Lu Xuan, even if Lu Xuan still has troops along the way, there is nothing to fear. Even if Luo Gaoshan
Even if we lose, we also win.”
With a smile on his face, Wu Jing asked: "How to divide the troops and how many people should be left to guard?"
Sun Ce thought for a while and said, "Two thousand people are enough."
Wu Jing looked at Sun Bi and asked, "What about you?"
Sun Ben said: "In my opinion, leaving more than a thousand people is enough. Although the terrain of Luogao Mountain is not steep, the defenses we have built are sufficient. We only need to hold back Lu Xuan's people. If we delay for a little time, we will
I can defeat Lu Xuan in one battle. As long as Lu Xuan is defeated, everything will be solved."
Wu Jing shook his head and said without any doubt: "All of Wu County's troops will be left behind."
"ah!"
Sun Ce and Sun Ben were both a little surprised.
The two looked at Wu Jing, and for a moment they didn't understand why they did this?
Wu Jing was not in a hurry to explain.
Sun Ce thought quickly, and suddenly, he suddenly realized, and said quickly: "I understand, uncle is worried that these soldiers from Wu County went to the battlefield and did not obey orders. Once they followed us to attack Lu Xuan, they were defeated by Lu Xuan.
, a rout could easily affect our military morale."
"So, just leave them behind."
"We have 18,000 people, and our strength is still greater than Lu Xuan's. We have enough troops under a fierce frontal attack."
Sun Ce asked: "Is this what you mean?"
Wu Jing laughed and said with approval: "You are right."
Sun Ce also had a smile on his face, and he continued: "Because the people are not unified, and they are trying to make arrangements together, these people cannot help, and may also affect our offensive, so we might as well stay here. On the other hand,
Wu Jun's troops staying behind will also help Luo Gaoshan's defense. After all, Lu Xuan's troops are not weak. If Lu Xuan stays and attacks Luo Gaoshan, all of them are elite, and Wu Jun's 10,000 troops can defend it."
Wu Jing praised: "You can teach me."
"Uncle is wise!"
Sun Ce said sincerely.
Sun Ben also nodded and said: "I understand."
Wu Jing stroked his beard under his chin and said: "You all should study hard. My brother-in-law taught me these. You have never been on your own before. Even if you followed your brother-in-law, you didn't learn much. Now you should practice hard. When you defeat Lu in this battle,
Xuan, we capture Lujiang County. Next, you can all leave the town."
Sun Ce and Sun Ben nodded.
Sun Ce felt a little disappointed in his heart.
Although his uncle supports him and guides him, in fact, if his father, or Cheng Pu and others were here, he might not be like this now, and he should have more initiative.
Sun Ce's thoughts changed in a flash.
What we have to consider now is revenge against Lu Xuan.
After Wu Jing discussed with his own people, he immediately arranged for Lu Meng, Gu Xi and Xu Chang to be invited.
Lu Meng is the person sent by the Lu family this time, Gu Xi is the general who leads the Gu family, and Xu Chang is the younger brother of Xu Gong. The three of them each lead their own troops.
When the three people entered the camp, they all looked a little arrogant. They saluted Wu Jing perfunctorily and stood aside.
Wu Jing didn't care, and directly talked about Lu Xuan's division of troops, and said in a deep voice: "In this battle, I plan to ask three people to stay in Luo Gaoshan. I will lead the 18,000 troops under my command to rob and kill Lu Xuan in the direction of Pingshan.
Xuan, I wonder what you guys think?"
Lu Meng said: "I have no objection."
Gu Xi said: "I agree too."
Xu Chang smiled slightly, nodded and said: "This attack is all thanks to Governor Wu. With Governor Wu's strength, we can easily capture it. The three of us are in Luo Gaoshan, waiting for the good news from Governor Wu."
Wu Jing cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your hard work, you three."
Lu Meng, Gu Xi and Xu Chang saluted and left.
Sun Ce said in a deep voice: "Uncle, these three people are very arrogant and rude. If I were running the army, if there were such people, I would immediately execute them."
Wu Jing said with a smile: "They are not my people, so there is nothing I can do about it. After all, it is good that Wu County can arrange troops to help. At least Luo Gaoshan, with ten thousand of them, can still hold it."
"We ourselves will go all out to attack Lu Xuan. Without these people, Luo Gaoshan will always have to leave troops to guard. We will have fewer troops to fight against Lu Xuan, and we may not be able to win the battle."
Sun Ce nodded and said, "I understand."
Wu Jing waved his hand and said: "Go and mobilize your troops. Immediately divide your troops to stop Lu Xuan. The end of this battle begins with Lu Xuan."
"Here!"
Sun Ce and Sun Ben left the Chinese army's tent to mobilize their troops.
In less than two-quarters of an hour, Wu Jing left Luo Gaoshan with 18,000 elite troops in the direction of Pingshan.
The army was rushing forward in a mighty and fast way. When it was approaching Pingshan, the sentinel sent out by Wu Jing early discovered the whereabouts of Lu Xuan's army. Wu Jing did not hesitate and directly ordered to kill them.
