Lu Xuan returned to the camp and waited for some time, but did not see any action from Cao Cao's side, and did not evacuate Nanzheng in a hurry.
In Lu Xuan's view, Cao Cao was prepared to fight to the death.
Lu Xuan was not in a hurry, he was very patient, and Lu Xuan stayed in Nanzheng, which not only trapped Cao Cao, but also relied on Zhang Lu's influence to continuously win over the people in the surrounding areas of Nanzheng County.
Zhang Lu had sufficient influence in Hanzhong.
Because the people in Hanzhong are religious and believers in the Five Dou Rice Way, Zhang Lu, the Heavenly Master of the Five Dou Rice Way, stood on Lu Xuan's side. Zhang Lu constantly called on the people to submit, making all parts of Hanzhong submit to Lu Xuan, and everything developed in the direction of Lu Xuan's good.
The longer the time, the more beneficial it is to Lu Xuan.
While Lu Xuan was waiting, Jiqiu County of Langya Kingdom in the north of Xuzhou was the southernmost county of Langya Kingdom and bordered Xuzhou Donghai County.
Once upon a time, Donghai County was massacred by Cao Cao. Kuai Liang took charge of Xuzhou and took back Donghai County. On the one hand, he stationed troops in Donghai County to stabilize the place. On the other hand, he governed Donghai County and restored prosperity to Donghai County.
This time Kuai Liang attacked Yuan Tan in the north, and together with Huang Zhong, personally led troops into the southern border of Jiqiu County, and then stationed themselves there, without taking any action.
In the military camp, the Chinese army tent.
Kuai Liang was looking through the documents. Although he arrived at the southern border of Jiqiu County, Xuzhou's government affairs were still sent to him, and Kuai Liang personally reviewed them.
While Kuai Liang was looking through the autumn harvest information, the tent curtain was lifted, and a middle-aged man named Lu Dai, nearly forty years old, walked in.
Lu Dai was a few years younger than Kuai Liang, and faced Kuai Liang with a respectful expression.
When he saw Kuai Liang, he bowed and said, "Your Majesty."
Kuai Liang smiled and waved, and said: "Ding Gong is here, sit down quickly."
Dinggong is Lu Dai's cousin.
Lu Dai was from Hailing County, Guangling County, and came from a local wealthy family. Although the Lu family could not compare with the Zhou family and Lu family in Yangzhou, it was enough to ensure that Lu Dai would become an official and serve as an assistant official in Hailing County.
Historically, when Xuzhou was in chaos, Lü Dai traveled south to Yangzhou, was appreciated by Sun Quan, and gradually became an important minister of the Wu State.
This man is the epitome of a late bloomer.
At the age of forty, Lu Dai came into Sun Quan's sight, and was appointed as the county magistrate of Wu County by Sun Quan. Because of his meritorious service, he was transferred to the post of prefect of Luling.
This year, Lu Dai was fifty-four years old.
When Lu Dai was fifty-nine years old, Bu Zhao transferred him from Jiaozhou as the governor, and Sun Quan appointed Lu Dai as the governor of Jiaozhou. In the eleven years that Lu Dai was in Jiaozhou, he solved the threat of the most powerful scholar family in Jiaozhou, disintegrated the local power of Jiaozhou, and made Lu Dai the governor of Jiaozhou.
Jiaozhou fell into the hands of Sun Quan.
Lu Dai was not only able to fight, but also to govern the local area, and was also a leader in external affairs.
During Lu Dai's administration of Jiaozhou, Southeast Asian countries such as Funan and Linyi in the south paid tribute to Soochow one after another.
Lu Dai completed the governance of Jiaozhou and was already in his early seventies. He was transferred back to Changsha by Sun Quan, where he swept away the Wuxi barbarians, pacified the place, and made great achievements. When Lu Dai was seventy-eight years old, he was arranged by Sun Quan to serve in Jingzhou and became Sun Quan's successor.
Dinghai Shenzhen in Jingzhou.
When Lu Dai was eighty-four years old, he was appointed as the Great General by Sun Quan. When Lu Dai was ninety-three years old, Sun Liang ascended the throne and was appointed as the Grand Sima. He died at the age of ninety-six.
This person was not prominent in the early stage.
In the later period, Lu Dai became a very important figure in the Wu Kingdom.
Compared with Zhou Yu, Lu Xun and Gu Yong, Lv Dai's influence is much lower, but Lv Dai works diligently and has almost no failures. He is down-to-earth, good at practice, and never talks about mystery, which makes Lv Dai become the leader of Soochow.
famous general.
Kuai Liang was governing the place, and Lu Dai was discovered by Kuai Liang and served as the governor of Donghai County. This time, Kuai Liang and Huang Zhong led their troops northward, and Lu Dai followed Kuai Liang to the north.
Lu Dai and Shiyi were both talents discovered by Kuai Liang. One stayed with Kuai Liang as the chief secretary, and the other stayed in Donghai County to manage and guard.
In this battle, Yi stayed in Xiapi and took charge of the overall situation.
Lu Dai sat down and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I have just received news from Yuzhou that Governor Zhou Yu, together with Tai Shici, defeated Xiahou Dun in Chen County and captured Yingchuan County, Chen State and Liang State. The army of Governor Zhou
, had already entered Yanzhou, Xiahou Dun retreated into Chenliu County of Yanzhou, and the two sides confronted each other in Chenliu County."
Kuai Liang smiled lightly, not affected at all.
He shook his robe and said slowly: "Zhou Yu is a god in military warfare, and he is both civil and military. In addition, Zhou Yu has been dormant in Yuzhou for several years. If Zhou Yu is blocked in Yuzhou, wouldn't it be a shame?"
Lu Dai looked a little anxious.
He stared at Kuai Liang and said solemnly: "Your Majesty has made progress in Yizhou, killing Xia Houyuan, destroying Cao Ren, and trapping Cao Cao. Your Majesty has made progress, and Zhou Yu has captured the lost places in Yuzhou and entered Yanzhou."
"Now, we are the only ones left without any results. The commander has been guarding the southern border of Jiqiu County for more than a month. Why didn't he further attack Zang Ba of Langya Kingdom, instead of staying here?"
Kuai Liang looked at Lu Dai and asked without directly answering: "Why do you think I don't move forward?"
Lu Dai shook his head and said: "You are humble and stupid."
Kuai Liang smiled and said: "If you have a good meal, don't be afraid of being late, and you can't be in a hurry. When we fight, we must have our own rhythm and advance step by step. We cannot watch Zhou Yu take the Yuzhou area, and the king take the Yizhou area, and hear people making noises
, so we took action eagerly.”
"If you want to take action, then you must complete your efforts in one battle, and the decision will be made in one battle."
"Kill Yuan Tan and seize Qingzhou."
Kuai Liang said loudly: "In this battle, we must show our Xuzhou style."
Lu Dai listened to Kuai Liang's words and thought about it for a while. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he said: "The only arrangement you have during this period is to arrange for people to pretend to rebel against Zang Ba."
"I followed the envoy, but I found that your plan to rebel against Zang Ba did not actually advance."
"Otherwise, I have no other arrangements."
"I believe that the reason why you are not in a hurry is because you have already instigated Zang Ba's rebellion. This time, you deliberately instigated Zang Ba's rebellion. This time, you asked Yuan Tan to also instigate Zang Ba's rebellion, and further let Zang Ba act as our internal agent."
Lu Dai said: "Because Yuan Tan is wary, Zang Ba cannot kill Yuan Tan. But on the battlefield, Zang Ba can lead his army to counterattack and defeat Yuan Tan in one go. Only in this way can it be decided in a battle. Otherwise,
If Zang Ba does not surrender, he will never succeed."
"Hahaha……"
Kuai Liang laughed after hearing this.
With deep approval in his eyes, he said: "Ding Gong's analysis is not bad at all. Zang Ba has indeed surrendered long ago, but he kept it secret and did not publicize it to the outside world."
Kuai Liang stayed in Xuzhou for several years and took over Donghai County, but never took action against Zang Ba.
This is an introduction left.
Kuai Liang has been contacting Zang Ba, and he instigated Zang Ba's rebellion the year before last, but kept Zang Ba in Langya State as a backbone for Wu State. This time, Zang Ba is the most important link for Kuai Liang in plotting against Yuan Tan.
Otherwise, with Kuai Liang's ability and Huang Zhong's strength, he would have wiped out Zang Ba long ago, and it would be impossible to allow Zang Ba to occupy Langya Kingdom.
Lu Dai said: "I will make you wise!"
Lu Dai admired Kuai Liang from the bottom of his heart. Kuai Liang was very capable in governing the place and had enough patience to solve Xuzhou's problems through spring breeze and rain.
The same goes for Kuai Liang when it comes to using troops.
"Report!"
A soldier entered and reported: "Envoy, General Huang wants to see you."
"please!"
Kuai Liang gave an order.
The soldiers went to convey the order, and followed Huang Zhong into the camp with big strides.
Huang Zhong is almost fifty years old, but over the years, he has become more energetic and younger. He does not look old at all. He does not look like a man who is almost fifty years old at all. He looks like he is around forty.
middle-aged people.
Huang Zhong cupped his fists and said, "The general will pay homage to the envoy."
Kuai Liang looked expectantly and asked: "General Han Sheng, is there any news about Yuan Tan?"
Huang Zhong reported: "The sentinel just received the news that Yuan Tan and Zang Ba reunited and led the troops southward from Kaiyang County."
Speaking of this, Huang Zhong became more and more excited and reported: "In order to get Yuan Tan to win over Zang Ba, we have been pretending to win over him. After more than a month of delay, Yuan Tan finally believed in Zang Ba. The armies of both sides will move south, and soon they will
Arrive at Jiqiu County."
"War is coming."
Huang Zhong's eyes sparkled and he said loudly: "The day Yuan Tan arrives at the border of Jiqiu County and fights us will be the day when Yuan Tan will be destroyed."
Although Kuai Liang's expression was calm, there was a fire in his eyes, and he ordered: "Send the order and prepare the entire army for war."
"Here!"
Huang Zhong immediately went to make arrangements.
Lu Dai followed him and was busy with many logistics matters. This time, he was responsible for the war, logistics and other matters.
Kuai Liang was sitting alone in the tent and stood up. He looked at a small wooden sign in front of him with the word Yuan Tan written on it. He picked up the brush and drew a cross on Yuan Tan's name, his eyes became expectant.
