Chapter 696: Intuition
Lu Lan walked into the big tent of the Chinese army, and before he could speak, Lu Xun saw the result from his face.
"Zhao Tong still refuses?"
"Well, another trip for nothing." Lu Lan smiled bitterly: "I finally know where his father's and son's undefeated reputation comes from, it's just a drop of water, and he doesn't dare to take any risks." ”
Lu Xun shook his head: "You are wrong. If Zhao Yun didn't dare to take risks, where would there be today's Liu Chan. I heard Fei Yi say that during the Battle of Hanzhong, Zhao Yun also forced Cao's army back with an empty camp. It's not that Zhao Tong doesn't dare to take risks, but he is wary of us, and the more you say, the more he suspects us of ulterior motives. With such a mentality, how could he take any more risks. ”
Lu Lan sighed lightly: "That's right, then what should we do next?" ”
"There's no hurry." Lu Xun knocked on the military report on the case: "Zhao Tong will soon be unable to be so calm." ”
Lu Lan looked at Lu Xun in surprise, picked up the military newspaper and read it. This is a military report sent by Sun Quan, Ma Jian and Wei Ba have joined forces to capture Wuguan, and they are currently in Chen Bingli County, intending to enter Wancheng eastward. However, Sun Quan doubted whether they could conquer Wancheng, and asked Lu Xun to stand still and see the progress of the Shu Han army first.
Lu Lan put down the military report and thought for a moment: "General, this order of the king...... Something isn't right. ”
Lu Xun looked at Lu Lan quietly.
"If you continue to cooperate with Shu Han, then at this moment, you can either attack north, further attract the attention of the Wei army, and share the pressure for the Shu Han army. Either to the west, first with the king and force to take Jiangxia, and then with the Shu Han army to attack Sima Yi. But what is this? ”
"Nothing. It's just a bargain. Lu Xun pondered for a moment: "In my opinion, it is not the transformation of the warship jishu, or the stone bullet made of the thunderbolt car." ”
Lu Lan suddenly realized. He also heard about the fact that the supply of stone bullets in the thunderbolt could not keep up with the consumption.
"Standing still is also the most haode method at present. Although the full pet is not to be seen, Zhang He's elite riders are fierce opponents. Before he leaves Lu'an, we should not act rashly. Keeping him in Yuzhou is the greatest help to Shu Han. ”
Lu Lan looked at Lu Xun in surprise, Lu Xun obviously had the intention of misinterpreting Sun Quan, Sun Quan was asking him to stand still. Waiting to bargain with Wei Ba. Lu Xun himself knows this very well, but he still extends Sun Quan's meaning to be on standby, and the difference seems to be subtle, but it is actually very serious.
Lu Xun weishenme would have such an idea? Lu Lan's heart was beating for a while. But he didn't dare to think deeply.
Lu Xun looked at Lu Lan's puzzled eyes in his eyes. But it didn't break. just said lightly: "Tighten your guard, don't let Zhang He have a chance." In addition, you go and talk to Zhao Tong and Chen Zhi. Idle is also idle, it is better to have a keju competition, so that the soldiers can move their bodies. I think the princess will love it. ”
Lu Lan didn't object to this, and soon went to tell Zhao Tong again. As Lu Xun expected, Sun Luban was already almost idle, and when he heard that the Han and Wu armies jointly played a juju competition, he was immediately overjoyed, and his perception of Lu Xun was greatly improved.
The two armies began to get busy, alarming Zhang He and Man Chong. They did not dare to be careless, and on the one hand, they strengthened their vigilance, and on the other hand, they sent people to inquire about the situation. When they knew that the Han and Wu armies were preparing to compete in Keju, they still couldn't believe it. The two armies are facing each other, and they are still in the mood to compete, isn't it Lu Xun's plan?
Zhang He was very anxious. Lu Xun and Zhao Tong guarded the camp tightly, and did not give him any chance at all, he could not attack and break, and he could not defend it, so he was in a dilemma. The war in Nanyang was tense, Nanxiang was lost, Wuguandao would soon fall into the hands of Wei Ba, and Cao Rui, the son of heaven, was forced to retreat to Wancheng, but he was restrained by Lu Xun and couldn't move here, which was really embarrassing.
However, Zhang He soon became unaggrieved.
Taking the opportunity of the Keju competition, Lu Xun, who has always lived in a simple place, had a rare meeting with Zhao Tong and Chen Zhi, and also met Sun Luban. Because of the fierce and exciting Keju competition, Sun Luban was in a good mood and his attitude towards Lu Xun was much better. When Lu Xun said that at this time, the main force of the Wei army was pinned down in Nanyang and Yuzhou and could not move, and it was a good time for the Wu army to attack from Yangzhou, Sun Luban nodded in agreement again and again, and immediately gave Sun Quan a "suggestion", hoping that he would send Sun Shao to attack Yangzhou to assassinate Shi Wang Ling in Huaiyin, and put forward a plan of land and water.
When Sun Quan received this suggestion, he couldn't help but be moved. On the one hand, he was surprised that Sun Luban had such a vision, and on the other hand, he also felt that this was indeed a good opportunity. Sun Shao is Sun Ce's righteous son, who has guarded Yangzhou for many years and is a trustworthy general. However, the sailor had already prepared, originally preparing to go to sea to find Yizhou and Bozhou, but it was only because of the strong opposition of the ministers that he could not make the trip. It would be a good idea to arrange for them to cooperate with Sun Shao in attacking Yangzhou.
Sun Quan immediately sent someone to consult Lu Xun. He didn't know that this idea was originally Lu Xun's, but Lu Xun mentioned it through Sun Luban's mouth, how could he disagree. So, Sun Quan quickly gave an order to Sun Shao and asked him to prepare to launch an offensive.
Sun Shao had been preparing for a long time, just waiting to set off, and as soon as he received Sun Quan's order, he immediately waved his army north, approaching Huaiyin. At the same time, the 10,000 sailors stationed at Jingkou also set sail north.
Suddenly, Yangzhou was in an emergency. Facing the menacing Sun Shao and others, Wang Ling immediately sent six hundred miles to rush to Cao Rui for help.
Cao Rui is also anxious. Wei Ba and Ma Jian are preparing to attack Lixian, Sima Yi is still struggling in Fancheng, and now that something has happened in Yangzhou again, he is really anxious. Sometimes I think that I should simply give up Nanyang and move the capital to Yecheng. The battle line is stretched so long and held on so hard, who knows if Zuihou's victory is his own?
Thinking that despite this, Cao Rui still sent someone to send a message to Zhang He, asking him to go east and prepare to deal with Wang Ling, so as not to prevent the Wu army from going deep into Qingxu.
Zhang He received the order and immediately pulled out the camp and went east.
At this time, Lu Lan found Zhao Tong again. General Zhao, let's discuss the next battle, shall we?
Zhao Tong readily agreed.
……
Turbulent water, thirty miles upstream of Lixian.
Guan Feng wore his armor and sat on a fiery red horse, Nanhu and Han Zhenying guarded left and right, and four fierce dogs like calves stuck out their tongues and followed behind, which made people feel chills at first sight.
However, the soldiers of the baggage battalion were no strangers to this scene, and although they were a little afraid of the four fierce dogs, they would not mess up. They know very well that these four fierce dogs are Mrs. Guan's guards who can't speak, but they are obedient, as long as you have no ill will towards Mrs. Guan, they will not hurt you.
But who would have malicious intent towards Mrs. Guan? Not to mention that most of them are Heavenly Master Daoists from Guanzhong, and Mrs. Guan's husband Wei Ba is the Heavenly Master Dao Guanzhong District Zhitou Sacrifice Wine, Mrs. Guan is also a very gentle lady, she cares about them very much, shushh
Everywhere Guan Feng went, she was greeted with heartfelt smiles and greetings. She looked at the busy construction site and walked up to an old carpenter with gray hair: "Uncle, how is it going?" ”
The old carpenter hurriedly put down the tools in his hand, wiped his hands on his apron, bowed down and said: "Mrs. Hui, it is going well, you are well fed, you have slept well, everyone is very energetic, and in half a day, the parts required for the pontoon bridge can be completed, and you will never miss Madame's major event." ”
Guan Feng stroked the parts that had just been formed, and nodded with satisfaction: "That's great, the dimensions are all according to the drawings, right?" ”
"That's that, that's." The old carpenter smiled with a smug smile: "Don't dare to say anything else, if you want to talk about mapping, we Guanzhong craftsmen are probably the first batch." When General Zhennan set up a workshop in Chang'an to improve the thunderbolt and crossbow car, the old man gave him a beating, and over the years, we have been used to working according to the drawings, the size or something, and someone checks it every day to ensure that there will be no mistakes. ”
Guan Feng smiled slightly: "My husband has worked hard, when these pontoons are completed, you can rest." ”
"It's okay." The old carpenter patted his sturdy chest: "Although the old man is older, he is sturdy, no worse than the young man." ”
Nanhu and the other barbarian girls laughed, attracting the warm eyes of the young craftsmen around them.
Guan Feng was very satisfied, Ma Jian didn't deal with her, and the craftsmen sent were all skilled craftsmen, which greatly ensured the progress of the work. She looked into the distance, and out of sight, several Wei scouts were peering across the river. From the moment she arrived, such a scene was not unfamiliar, and everyone was accustomed to it. Through the turbulent water, everyone peeked at each other, waiting for the start of the big war.
Ma Tan attacked the city head-on, and Guan Feng went upstream to look for opportunities to cross the water to attack, which seemed to be a very conventional attack tactic, and Guan Feng also wanted to use this seemingly conventional tactic to attract the attention of the Wei army, so as to create some opportunities for Wei Ba. But she didn't know Weishenme, she was still faintly uneasy, and always felt that Wei Jun's reaction was too ordinary.
Seeing Guan Feng's brows frowning slightly, Han Zhenying, who felt the same way, took a step closer and comforted softly: "Madam, the young master is a cautious person, and the person who can fight him in ambush is probably not born yet." ”
Guan Fengqiang laughed and nodded, but his eyebrows were still a little tight.
"Madam, it's not good for the child if you do this." Han Zhenying said worriedly: "You should keep your mood comfortable." ”
Guan Feng lowered his head, looking at his lower abdomen that had not changed, and the corners of his mouth finally showed a smile. After a while, she raised her head and said calmly to Han Zhenying: "Send someone to inform Ma Changshi and General Dangkou that our army is ready, and they can attack the city." ”
"Whoa." Han Zhenying answered, turned around and went to make arrangements.
"Nanhu, send a few capable people to cross the water with the divine dog to check the situation within fifty miles, I always feel that Wei Jun's reaction is a little abnormal. Although there are no mountains here, there are many hills, and if you want to hide, the scouts who are hurrying by may not be able to find out. ”
Nanhu nodded: "Don't worry, madam, I will pick some people and run in person." ”
"That couldn't be better." Guan Feng paused, and then said: "Find some guides in the martial arts, they are from Nanyang, and they are more familiar with the terrain of Nanyang than you." ”…… (To be continued......)
