Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Page 134

In order to defuse the atmosphere in front of him, Fu Shiren recounted Jiang Dong's victory.

He added with a smile: "I think Liao Taishou's remarks in the Yangtze River News are a bit biased, so Lu Meng is clearly a master of military use..."

Gan Ning looked at Fu Shiren speechlessly, "Expert in military use? This is all experience gained from beatings, basically copying the battle in Jiaozhou..."

Fu Shiren:? ? ?

Chapter 2 Seventy Sun Quan: I have an idea

All the tactics used by Lu Meng in Ruxukou can be found in the Moon Bay of Jiaozhou. The only thing that can be used is the water battle.

Although Gan Ning disdained Jiangdong's victory, he still admired Lu Meng's comprehension ability.

Fu Shiren didn't know much about Jiaozhou, so Gan Ning didn't explain too much. Instead of staying at Ruxuwu and doing nothing, Gan Ning already had the idea of ​​retreating.

Since Jiang Dong was so powerful, it seemed that he didn't need to help, Gan Ning thought that the other party would come to the army next time, so he asked Fu Shiren to resign.

After losing two consecutive battles, Cao Cao was slapped in the face like he woke up from a dream. The soldiers and horses in Jiangdong are not all soft-headed. Looking at Lu Meng recorded in the Yangtze River News, there is a burning feeling on his face.

The contents of the Yangtze River Review and the actual encounter are ironic. Jiangdong soldiers can't beat the little-known Lai Gong, but they bully themselves.

Cao Cao sat in the camp and carefully hammered his forehead. Whenever he was upset and angry, he would have a headache.

Han Hao walked into the main tent and reported carefully: "My lord, the enemy general Ling Tong came to fight and insult again today, and just before he left, he even shot an arrow book..."

"Wenhe take a look for me..." Cao Cao covered his head.

The arrow book was written by Lu Meng, and the content is generally to insult Cao Jun's incompetence, but he has become a shrinking turtle when he came to conquer from afar.

Jia Xu has a strong mental quality. After reading it carefully, he folded his hands and replied: "The words in the letter are extremely vulgar. It was Lu Meng who urged us to fight. You don't need to pay attention..."

"Degui, how is the repair of the warships in the village?" Cao Cao asked.

Cai Mao shook his head and sighed: "It was a mess when we retreated, most of the damaged ships have not been repaired, and the most important thing is that the morale of the army is currently weak..."

Cao Cao patted his thigh: "I didn't expect to prepare for such a long time, but I was still no match for Sun Zhongmou's navy..."

Adviser Cheng Yu comforted: "Since Sun Wentai has been training the navy, and now it has been 20 years. In terms of the elite level of the navy, it is second to none in the world. We still have to find a way to fight land warfare..."

"But Sun Quan guarded the mouth of Ruxu, and the infantry and cavalry couldn't get through if the water couldn't beat it. In addition, there was no possibility of smuggling across the East Gate on Ruxu Mountain..." Cao Cao was very depressed.

Seeing this, Jia Xu said: "Actually, our army's losses in the first two battles were limited, and the overall strength advantage is still very large. Why don't we wait for the time being and survey the terrain in detail, and when Sun Quan can't breathe, we will recover morale through two victories. As for Lu Meng's Provocative behavior is out of the question."

Cao Cao nodded, "Wen He's words are very kind, but he was insulted by Lu Meng's children, and he was unwilling to be alone..."

Jia Xu continued: "Lu Meng can shoot arrows and books to mess up his mind, we might as well use his own way to treat his body."

Cao Cao was curious, he crossed his legs and asked suspiciously: "Come quickly."

"I guess Sun Quan has never seen such a good thing as the Yangtze River News. The prime minister might as well give it to him to know the world's affairs. I believe that after reading Liao Li's comments, Sun Quan may not have other ideas. Even if the separation fails, he can insult him in reverse... Jia Xu smiled darkly.

Cao Cao was delighted to hear this, and praised: "Wen Hezhen is a long-term planner. Although Sun Zhongmou is not as stupid as Ma Chao, he is cunning and suspicious. It is a clever plan to use the Yangtze River to repay his mind."

Cao Cao's camp was backed by Qibao Mountain and faced Chaohu Lake. Sun Quan could not replicate the fire attack in such a geographical location. The strength of Cao's army was more than three times that of Jiangdong's. Method.

During the confrontation between the two armies, Sun Quan kept sending warships to fight, but it was a pity that Cao Cao was as stable as an old dog, and there was nothing they could do about each other.

In the first month of the 18th year of Jian'an, Sun Quan received the Yangtze River News in Ruxuwu. The novel layout and typesetting made him curious. When he saw the comments of Liao Li, the prefect of Changsha, his face suddenly became dark.

"My lord, what did Cao Cao say in the letter?" The ancients wrote concise and concise letters, and Zhang Zhao was very curious when he saw the size of the paper.

"This is not a letter from Cao Mengde, take it and see for yourself." Sun Quan handed over the Yangtze River News.

Zhang Zhao was very puzzled after reading it: "This thing seems to come from Jingzhou, and the whole story is about the past. What does Cao Cao mean by this?"

"Zibu carefully looked at the Yangtze River Review on the lower left." Sun Quan reminded.

Zhang Zhao stroked his beard and said, "Prefect Liao is right. We are occupying the territory to restrain Cao Jun. Could it be that Cao Cao wants to use this to mock him for not being able to hold on?"

"Zibu didn't realize that Liao Li was mocking Ziming?" Sun Quan reminded again.

Zhang Zhao was taken aback and explained with a smile: "Liu Bei and us are allies. I think Liao Li is just explaining the facts and has no meaning of irony. What's the advantage of satirizing Ziming? But I didn't understand the Yangtze River News. What's the point of remembering the past?"

Sun Quan pinched the bridge of his nose, "The Yangtze River Daily is produced by the Lingling Book and Newspaper Office. Don't forget that the prefect of Lingling is Lantian. That guy is an insidious villain. He shouldn't play silly tricks. Please go to Jiangxia to help the army." Ask there, Fu Shiren should be familiar with this thing, understand the situation..."

"What's the excuse this time?"

"Send me some more drinks, the twenty jugs should be gone last time."

"only."

Zhang Zhao used Jiangdong's light wine to lead the way, and told Fu Shiren to get back the words, only to know that the Changjiang Daily was still published, the purpose was to let the people of Jingzhou understand the world's affairs, and he focused on the role similar to "Yuedan Review".

After Sun Quan learned the truth, he fell into deep thought. Could it be that Lantian really wanted to make a "Yuedan Review"?

"Why did Cao Cao get the Yangtze River News? But our allies didn't?" Sun Quan was very puzzled.

Zhang Zhao said embarrassingly, "My lord, Cao Cao and Liu Bei are mortal enemies. He has arranged a lot of secret operations in Jingzhou. We don't have time to inquire about Jingzhou's affairs. Besides, you haven't contacted Miss for a long time, so regarding the matter over there... ..."

Sun Quan stared blankly, Zhang Zhao hastily stopped talking.

Sun Quanxin said that the old guy alluded to my disregard of family affection?How can I have the energy to pay attention to the water splashed by the married daughter?

"Zibu, how do you say the Yangtze River News selects news? Will the Ruxu battle with Cao Cao be recorded?" Sun Quan asked curiously.

"Uh... It's not easy to say. It stands to reason. I heard that the previous issues were basically related to Cao Cao's victory or defeat..." Zhang Zhao analyzed.

Sun Quan nodded affirmatively, then stood up and carried his back, wondering if he could make a name for himself?The [-] copies per issue is very strong. We can't let Cao Cao show off his prestige all the time and promote himself as an ally.

After Sun Quan made up his mind, he immediately called Lu Su and Lu Meng, threatening to visit Cao Ying himself.

Lu Su quickly advised: "My lord, although Cao Cao has a small defeat, he must not go into danger personally."

"Father and brother can kiss Shishishi, why should I be afraid to take a boat to explore the camp? Zijing, don't try to persuade me any more." Sun Quan was resolute.

Chapter 271 Accidentally Borrowing an Arrow

Lu Su and Lu Meng tried to persuade Sun Quan not to listen, but the two had to delay because of the bad weather.

During this period of time, the rain continued, and the sky was gloomy every day, and no ships were even dispatched to fight.

One morning, it was just raining, and the Qibao Mountain and Ruxu Mountain were filled with thick fog.

After finally waiting for the rain to stop, Sun Quan called Lu Su and Lu Meng, saying that he was going to visit the camp now.

Lu Meng advised: "My lord, the mountains are not visible in the fog in the distance, we should wait a little longer until the weather clears up..."

Sun Quan looked up at the sky, "It's been like this for several days. I don't know when it will clear up. I'm going to take advantage of the fog to explore the camp. I've made up my mind and I can't persuade you anymore."

Seeing that Lu Meng couldn't persuade him, he looked at Lu Su. Lu Su thought for a while: "That's fine, we can go by light boat, and the communication is more convenient. Now that there is a thick fog to cover, Cao Cao will not dare to go out..."

"But what if..." Lu Meng was still worried.

"Ziming, you can't stop him forever, let's accompany him, it will be fine." Lu Su shook his head and said.

Sun Quan nodded affirmatively, and then teased Lu Meng: "It's still the governor Zhouquan, Ziming, you still have room to grow."

Lu Meng had no choice but to choose the best ship, and then accompanied Sun Quan to explore the camp with Lu Su.

The fog on the mountain gradually sank, and when the boat reached the mouth of the gorge, there was a vast expanse of whiteness, and only two or three feet in the lake on the river could be seen.

Lu Meng drove the boat to Cao Jun's water village, where the sentry towers and pontoon bridges were like shadows.

"My lord, there is already Cao Jun's water village ahead, we can't move forward anymore, now that we know the location of Cao Ying, can we go back?" Lu Meng asked with a smile.

Sun Quan stood at the bow of the boat, stroking his purple beard and meditating alone. Was it for nothing that he was so quiet?You have to make some noise before you leave.

"The return journey is smooth, so it should be faster?" Sun Quan asked again.

"My lord is right, shall we return?" Lu Su asked for instructions.

Sun Quan shook his head and said, "Move the boat a little further, and let people beat the gongs and drums, and tell the bandits Cao that I have come to visit the camp."

Lu Su and Lu Meng were dumbfounded when they heard this, and they thought to themselves that the always cautious lord would go by car even when shooting a tiger, why would he dare to take such a risk today?

"Zi Ming hurry up and make arrangements, I just want to surprise the old thief." Sun Quan said seriously.

"Wei." Lu Meng reluctantly accepted the order.

During this period of drizzle, it was not suitable for both water and land battles. Cao Cao, who suffered two defeats, gradually calmed down because the scouts braved the rain to survey the terrain and found something.

Sun Quan's Xijiang camp was stationed at the southern foot of Qibao Mountain, and there were about ten thousand Jiangdong soldiers here.

At the beginning, he helped Lu Meng ambush Zhu Ling. The terrain here is also dangerous, but it is a little far away from Ruxuwu, where Sun Quan was stationed, and Cao Cao's land troops can reach it.

In the water battle, Cao Jun lost to Jiangdong, but the land battle was a tyrannical existence. Coupled with the absolute advantage in military strength, he could surround the Xijiang camp to fight for reinforcements and attract Sun Quan's main force to the shore, so that they lost the water. Advantage.

To attract Sun Quan's main force around the Xijiang camp, it is necessary to let the opponent know Cao Jun's intentions, so the lookout point of Ruxushan Pass is very important.

It was raining in Dongguan, and it was difficult to find the enemy situation in the Xijiang camp, so all the generals in the Cao camp were waiting for the weather to clear.

It was cold and foggy outside, and Cao Cao was in a good mood because he had already formulated a battle strategy, drinking and chatting with all the civil and military men in the big tent.

"I still remember that before the Chibi War, on the Bronze Sparrow Terrace, the orphans sang songs and sang with the princes. Although there is poetry now, but for the sake of auspiciousness, I will bear it for now..." Cao Cao raised his glass and laughed at himself.

Seeing what Cao Cao said, everyone didn't know whether to agree or compliment, and it seemed inappropriate to say anything, so the tent became very quiet.

Suddenly there was a commotion outside the tent, and the sound of drums could be heard vaguely.

When Cao Cao and the others were wondering, Xu Chu led Cai Mao into the big tent in a hurry.

"Prime Minister, Jiangdong warships provoked in front of the stronghold and played drums. May I ask if they will go to war?" Cai Mao asked for instructions.

"How many ships are there?" Cao Cao asked curiously.

"Because of the fog in the lake, there is only one boat in the shadow, but it is very close to the water village." Cai Mao reported truthfully.

Cao Cao sneered and said, "Sun Quan must be trying to lure the enemy. What's the point of such a small trick? The Jiangdong warships must be hidden in the lake by the thick fog. You stick to the gate of the village and don't go out to fight. You can use random arrows to drive back the enemy."

"Wei." Cai Mao took the order and left.

"Zhongde, Sun Zhongmou is very active this time. He has improved a lot from the last time he played Hefei." Cao Cao said calmly.

Cheng Yu analyzed: "The Prime Minister led hundreds of thousands of troops to suppress the border, and Sun Quan had to resist passively. Now he is bringing the elite from all over Jiangdong, and there must be some capable people among them."

"Wen Yuan, you also bring five hundred crossbowmen to assist in shooting." Cao Cao continued to order.

"Wei." Zhang Liao got up and walked out.

Sun Quan played drums and played provocatively in front of the stronghold for a while, and when he was about to leave, he heard ding ding dong dong outside the cabin, like hailstones beating non-stop.

"We are too close, Cao Jun is shooting with bows and arrows." Lu Su quickly reminded.

"The boards on the boat are very thick, even if the arrows are raining like rain outside, what can I do? Haha... ah..."

Sun Quan was sitting in the cabin drinking, when suddenly the table tilted to the left, and he fell down on the deck, and the wine vessel fell on the ground, soaking Sun Quan's robe.

The sudden change caused Sun Quan to panic, and his smiling face instantly turned earthy.

"The arrows on the left side of the cabin are too heavy, and the whole hull has already started to tilt. If we don't deal with it, it may capsize." Lu Su put his hands on the ground and shouted loudly.

"Turn the rudder, turn the ship around." Lu Meng, who has rich experience in sailing, shouted decisively to the sailors.

The warship was circling in front of the water fortress. At this moment, Zhang Liao's five hundred crossbowmen arrived at the pontoon bridge, and their arrows flew like locusts into the lake. The intensive shooting caused Sun Quan's ship to slowly return to its right position.

"The arrows are evenly received on both sides of the cabin, let's retreat quickly." Lu Su urged.

Sun Quan was frightened just now, and now he will have lingering fears. Seeing him nodding, Lu Meng asked the sailors to return to sail.

After the bow turned, Lu Meng went to the deck and saw that the entire hull was filled with arrows, like a hedgehog in the water.

Lu Meng smiled and said to Sun Quan: "My lord, Cao Cao has sent hundreds of arrows, and we don't need to make arrows for many times."

"Oh?" Sun Quan also poked his head out, and then told the sailors: "Everyone, don't stop drumming, and shout 'Thank you, Prime Minister Cao, for the arrow'..."

Lu Su was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he took advantage of it and left silently. If such a big fanfare really attracted Cao Jun, it would be troublesome.

Zhang Liao and Cai Mao's faces turned pale when they heard this, and wondered if the prime minister would laugh at the meeting, right?That was really frightening to hear.

Lu Su cautiously looked at the stern of the boat, seeing that Cao Jun’s water fortress had never been chased by a boat, Sun Quan was in a good mood, and laughed: “Zijing doesn’t need to look any more, Cao Mengde is afraid of ambush and will not dare to chase, shouldn’t this wooden boat borrow arrows? Special book? It can be published in the Yangtze River News later.”

Lu Meng and Lu Su were puzzled, Changjiang News?What Changjiang Daily?

Just as the two were guessing, Sun Quan's voice came from behind: "Zi Ming was right just now, it needs to come a few more times. Cao Cao's family has a big business, so we should send some out."

Lu Su and Lu Meng didn't know how to respond, I hope Sun Quan's words were unintentional.

Chapter 272 You should be like Sun Zhongmou when you have a child

Lu Su and Lu Meng never imagined that Sun Quan, who had tasted the sweetness, really wanted to go. The warship they took returned to Ruxuwu, and they pulled out a total of more than 600 spike arrows.

In the early morning of the next day, the two mountains were shrouded in mist again, and the visibility was slightly better than yesterday.
