Chapter 621 Although the alliance is also calculated
Chapter 621: Even though they are in alliance, they are also plotting against each other
After discussing Cheng Yu's funeral, Cao Cao led his men to send Cheng Yu's coffin out of Runan City. As the lord, Cao Cao personally carried Cheng Yu's coffin, which moved Cao Jun very much. Even the officers and soldiers of the Qin army were full of admiration! Liu Zhang
The carriage has been prepared long ago. When Cheng Yu's coffin leaves the city, five hundred tiger soldiers will immediately transport it to Dong'a County, East County, Yanzhou for burial! A loyal minister should be treated as a loyal minister, even if he is not loyal to himself.
Looking at the carriage going away, Cao Cao's eyes were moist again. There was no pretense from Liu Bei, and there was no show off from Sun Quan. He just watched quietly until the carriage disappeared into the sky. He thanked Liu Zhang again, and Cao Cao returned to Runan City.
On this day, the Qin army made an exception and did not attack Cao Jun, which was a sign of respect for a loyal minister! However, some things are just such a coincidence. Just when the Qin army stopped attacking, a large army came from outside Runan City and attacked Wu.
The word banner! Of course, this is just the vanguard of Jiangdong Army!
In Runan City, Cao Cao had just sent Cheng Yu away, and he was still in a low mood. He was sitting in the meeting hall, listening to the ministers reporting on military affairs and government affairs. Suddenly, a small school came to report that an envoy from Jiangdong was coming, and he would not neglect it.
Then he invited the people into the city. Not long after, I saw a big man with a heavy back and a heavy back, striding in!
"General Lu Meng, please see the King of Wei!" The big man handed over his hand, but Cao Cao was a little confused. How could he send a general as an envoy?
Cao Cao smiled and asked: "Zhongmou sent you here, what do you want?"
Lu Meng replied: "To inform the king of Wei, my king learned that the Qin army was surrounding Runan, and he led a large army to help. In order to avoid misunderstanding, he asked me to be the vanguard and came to report!"
"Oh? Zhongmou actually led an army to come to the rescue. Aren't he afraid of the Qin army's sneak attack on Jiangdong?" Sun Quan has always been unprofitable, and Cao Cao doesn't believe that he has any good intentions!
"If Liu Zhang can be defeated in Runan, what do my lord have to worry about?" Being able to become Sun Quan's confidant, Lu Meng is no ordinary person. He understood what Cao Cao meant and immediately told Sun Quan's thoughts!
"That's it!" Cao Cao nodded. He immediately understood what Sun Quan was thinking. He was just borrowing a place to fight Liu Zhang. After thinking for a long time, Cao Cao felt that Jiangdong could not take advantage of him too much. He smiled and said, "I want to fight Liu Zhang."
In the decisive battle, the most important thing is to protect Runan City. Since Zhongmou wants to help, he will guard Runan together with Gu. I wonder what the general wants?"
"This is natural!" Lu Meng nodded without hesitation. If Runan is lost, Cao Jun will have no choice but to retreat to Shouchun. At that time, with the remote areas of three states, how can they compete with Liu Zhang who has ten states?
Compete?
"General, how heroic!" Cao Cao said with a smile: "Our army's military advisor Sima Yi has thought of a way to protect Runan City. This method is to surround the city with a military stronghold. I ask the Jiangdong Army to guard the two southwestern strongholds. I wonder if the general is willing?"
"This..." Lu Meng hesitated and asked: "King Wei, if our army guards the two southwestern villages, where should my lord live?"
Cao Cao said seriously: "Of course it's in Runan City! Since the two armies have formed an alliance, they should trust each other. Doesn't Zhongmou even have the guts to enter Runan?"
Seeing Cao Cao inviting Sun Quan to come to Runan, Lu Meng did not dare to agree casually. He smiled bitterly and said: "King Wei, I am not the one who can decide this matter. I need to ask my king!"
"Then you go back and ask Zhongmou!" Of course Cao Cao knew that Lu Meng could not make the decision. He made such a request because he wanted to see Sun Quan's courage!
Lu Meng did not dare to delay and immediately returned to the camp. In the evening, Jiangdong Army finally arrived, and Lu Meng immediately conveyed Cao Cao's wishes to Sun Quan. Sun Quan thought for a long time and decided not to show weakness to Cao Cao. Since Cao Cao wanted him to enter Runan, he Ask Cao Cao for the right to guard half of Runan! In Sun Quan's opinion, as long as there are Jiangdong troops in Runan City, he will be safe. Who knows, with the strength of Cao Cao's generals, when he is alone, it will be easy to kill him !
Entering the city again to negotiate, Cao Cao and Sun Quan reached an agreement. Jiangdong Army stationed in Runan and guarded the second southwest village. Sun Quan took Pan Zhang and Lu Meng into Runan City, and Cao Cao was greeting him at the city gate! Seeing Sun Quan, Cao Cao immediately stepped forward She took his hand and said, "Zhongmou, it's so comforting for you to come and help me!"
"King Wei, Liu Zhang not only threatens you, but also threatens Gu. How can I just sit back and watch? Gu still understands the meaning of death and coldness!" Sun Quan was not modest, speaking one Gu at a time, and even walked side by side with Cao Cao, completely putting himself at risk. Being placed on an equal footing with Cao Cao made Cao Cao's generals very angry. However, Cao Cao did not speak, and others did not dare to say anything.
"What Zhongmou said is true!" Cao Cao didn't seem to feel Sun Quan's rudeness. He took his hand and said: "Now our two armies are both prosperous and destructive. Let's put aside any grudges we had before and wait until Liu Zhang is defeated." !”
"What King Wei said is exactly what Gu Xin thought!" Sun Quan nodded. He would not engage in internal fighting at such a critical moment! However, he did not expect that Cao Cao had already tricked him. Southwest of Runan The second village was the place where the Qin army attacked the most intensively, and it was also the place where the soldiers suffered the most serious damage!
In the Runan Council Hall, Cao Cao prepared a banquet to welcome the wind and cleanse the dust. He and Sun Quan had a drink until midnight, and then they went back to their rooms. Early the next morning, Sun Quan was awakened by a loud rumbling noise. Although he and Qin The Qin army had fought against each other before, but he had never seen the Qin army’s new equipment. The roar of the boulders hitting the ground woke him up from his sweet dream!
"What's going on?" Sun Quan shouted loudly before he could stand up.
A Cao soldier walked into the wing and said: "King Wu, this is the Qin army using weapons to attack the stronghold outside the city. You don't have to worry, this is what the Qin army must do every day!"
"Does this happen every day?" Sun Quan rubbed the door, shook his head and asked, "Didn't King Wei think of a way?"
"Of course I have thought about it, but the Qin army is very capable and the King of Wei has failed several times, so I have to let him do whatever he wants!" The faces of Cao Cao's soldiers all turned red, as if they were ashamed that they could not defeat the enemy!
After looking at the pawn, Sun Quan smiled and asked, "Is King Wei up?"
"I've gotten up early!" said the soldier: "The King of Wei gets up every day before the Qin army launches an attack. Because the Qin army's attacks often produce a large number of wounded soldiers, the King of Wei needs to inspect each camp to avoid mistakes. However, now, The King of Wei is waiting for you in the council hall and wants to discuss with you how to defeat the Qin army!"
"Go now!" Hearing that there would be a large number of wounded soldiers, Sun Quan couldn't sit still. After washing, he went to the meeting hall!
"Zhongmou, take a seat!" A seat has been added next to the head of the meeting hall, and Cao Cao acquiesced that Sun Quan would sit on an equal footing with him.
After Sun Quan sat down, he immediately asked: "King Wei, I heard that the Qin army is attacking and there will be a large number of wounded soldiers. I wonder if you can stop the Qin army?"
"Zhongmou, I have been guarding Runan for more than a few months. If there is a way, will I still let the Qin army show its power?" Cao Cao shook his head. Although Sima Yi has come up with countermeasures, he must not propose it.
.Otherwise, Sergeant Cao's soldiers will become cannon fodder.
"This..." Sun Quan's scalp was numb. He really didn't expect the situation in Runan to be so difficult. After thinking for a long time, he frowned and said: "King Wei, although we are in a stalemate with Liu Zhang, if this continues, the one who will suffer is still the one who will suffer.
We. We need to find a way out of this predicament!"
"Why don't I want to get out of the predicament? But if our army attacks, the Qin army will all come out. In the field battle, how can our army stop the Qin army's cavalry? If our army does not go out, this will be the current situation..." Cao Cao shrugged
He shrugged his shoulders and made a very helpless expression, but secretly glanced at Sima Yi.
Sima Yi was so smart. With just one look, he understood what Cao Cao meant. He immediately stood up and said: "King Wu, you don't know something. When we were under the city of Xuchang, our army sent troops with the intention of destroying the Qin army's equipment.
Twenty thousand cavalry were assembled, but they were ambushed by the Qin army. Even General Lu Bu was almost killed..."
After listening to Sima Yi's account of the initial battle, Sun Quan fell into deep thought, and even the Jiangdong officials he brought with him were also thoughtful. After a while, Lu Meng's eyes lit up and he said, "Cavalry can't do it, you can use infantry!"
"Huh?" Sun Quan was quite proud to see that Lu Mengruo had realized something, but Cao Cao pretended to be surprised and laughed secretly in his heart. The two of them asked in unison: "What did you think of? Can you tell me?"
"Reporting to the King of Wu and the King of Wei, through Mr. Sima's narration, I found that the battle was only defeated by the cavalry. If we used infantry to attack, we would not be ambushed by the Qin army. Even the big pit at the end was not
What a big problem!" Lu Meng smiled confidently. He had never thought about the problem that he could see, why Sima Yi, who was known as the Tomb Tiger, couldn't see it!
"Ziming, tell me carefully!" Seeing Lu Meng talking eloquently in front of Cao Cao, the problems that had troubled Cao Cao's army for several months seemed to be solved. Sun Quan was deeply proud that he had a capable subordinate.
"Yes!" Lu Meng was also very proud to be able to solve the problem that Cao Jun could not solve. He smiled and said: "The weapons of the Qin army are indeed powerful. No matter whether they are infantry or cavalry, they can't resist it. The King of Wei lost the battle because he didn't expect it.
The Qin army will dig horse pits. However, horse pits are only effective for cavalry and cannot stop the infantry from advancing. The infantry is slower and suffers greater losses during the march than the cavalry! As long as the Qin army can withstand the attack, let the infantry advance.
The infantry can rush to the side of the equipment and destroy the Qin army's equipment."
Sun Quan smiled and asked, "What if there are Qin soldiers protecting us?"
"Your Majesty, the soldiers of the Qin Army cannot protect all the equipment. As long as we damage the Qin Army's equipment as much as possible, we will be invincible!" It seems that countless soldiers from Jiangdong have rushed into the Qin Army and defeated the Qin Army.
The instrument was smashed away, and Lu Meng's face was filled with a proud smile!
"King Wei, what do you think?" Sun Quan was extremely proud and immediately looked at Cao Cao, hoping to get his approval.
"This..." Cao Cao hesitated and said, "If we do this, we will lose a lot of soldiers..."
"How can there be no casualties in a war?" Sun Quan slapped the table and said, "King Wei, let's organize our troops and attack the Qin army!"
