Han Xiang

Chapter 344 Heroes See the Same Thing

Although Sun Quan had a problem with Zhou Yu, he had no problem with his father and brother's old ministry.

Lu Mian died before leaving the army. At this time, Wu Jing was the only general under Sun Quan's command. He was going to let Wu Jing attack Cao Jun's Liangdao, so Zhou Yu could only entrust Zhou Yu with the feint attack.

Since Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, he has not led an army with Zhou Yu. The main reason is that his prestige in the army is not as good as that of Zhou Yu.

Sun Quan urgently needs a big victory to prove himself, and Zhou Yu will not be given the opportunity to cut off the food. After all, Wu Jing came up with the strategy, so it is natural for Wu Jing to implement it, and Wu Jing's success is his own success.

As for the old army under Zhou Yu's command, it can just use its combat expertise to contain Cao's army, and finally achieve the effect of defeating the east and the west.

Thinking of this level, Sun Quan thought it was perfect.

Huang Yi led the troops to fight against outsiders, and he was not good at playing tricks when he was an envoy. When he arrived in Hefei, he asked Lu Su and Long Xiang to see him successively. If Jiangdong can provide armor and weapons, Hefei can provide help within its capacity.

The war has already begun, and Huang Yi knows that he cannot meet Hefei's requirements, and the armor rate of Jiangdong soldiers is not high. No one is willing to sacrifice themselves to provide armor. too late.

Sun Quan gave Huang Yi an order, asking him to try his best to get Long Xiang to send troops, so after running into obstacles, Huang Yi changed his strategy and planned to stalk Huang Yi, but Long Xiang seemed to have a premonition and used various excuses to prevaricate Huang Yi Do not meet, and send Mi Heng as a representative with full authority to receive.

While Mi Heng was stranded in Jiangdong, Huang Yi was stranded in Hefei, and the two exchanged positions almost at the same time.

Huang Yi had heard of Mi Heng's name, but he didn't know how capable the other party was, so he couldn't stand it after getting along for half a day, so he had to resign and leave Hefei in embarrassment.

Back at Sun Quan in Chaohu Lake, Huang Yi didn't dare to mention that he was forced to retreat by Mi Heng, but only added salt and vinegar to help Hefei find a reason, saying that Long Xiang was indeed in difficulty and could not send troops.

Sun Quan didn't expect Huang Yi to succeed, because he had already received news of Ruxu waters, and Zhou Yu was leading the troops of Guangling to arrive.

Long Xiang's 'stand-in' is already on the scene, just wait for Wu Jing to inquire about Cao Jun's food road in the north, and then he can implement the plan of attacking the west.

Zhou Yu could barely mobilize 4 soldiers and horses, but Chen Deng suddenly moved in the north of Guangling, and Zhou Yu had to divide his troops to guard various places.

That would not only destroy Guangling, but also threaten the rear of Wu County.

After some adjustments, Zhou Yu left Lu Fan, Cheng Pu and Chen Deng to deal with it, and he picked out [-] elite soldiers to help Sun Quan.

Sun Quan didn't know that Chen Deng was invading, and thought that Zhou Yu would bring all the soldiers and horses from Guangling. He was disappointed when he learned that there were only 2 troops, but he didn't show any displeasure.

Zhou Yu led the fleet to join Chaohu Lake, and boarded the island in the middle of the lake with the generals to meet Sun Quan.

Sun Quan feigned enthusiasm and went to the shore to greet him, and pulled him shoulder to shoulder to the temporary camp on the island, with an expression like a little fanboy, giving Zhou Yu enough face, and introduced the situation of Lujiang while walking.

After a while, everyone took their seats in order in the big tent.

Sun Quan looked at Zhou Yu expectantly, leaned forward and asked humbly: "Cao's bandits are attacking menacingly, now except Wan County is still resisting, and the rest of Lujiang River has fallen. To break through this crisis?"

"It's not difficult."

Zhou Yu's words were concise and to the point, and the first sentence he spoke was cruel.

As a general, you must have confidence in whether you have a clever plan, otherwise it will easily affect the morale of the army.

Sun Quan thought that Zhou Yu was pretending, so he smiled awkwardly and turned his head to meet Wu Jing's eyes, as if to say: Was Zhou Lang also this crazy before?Or is it just in front of me?

Wu Jing understood Sun Quan's eyes, but he didn't know how to respond to this nephew, so he reminded Zhou Yu in a deep voice: "The governor should not be careless. Cao Cao not only has a lot of troops, but also the combat effectiveness of the soldiers. The five thousand pieces under Lu Mian's command , was defeated by Zhang Liao and Cao Chun Sanqian, so this is a tough battle."

Sun Quan repeatedly echoed: "That's right, these two people supported Shouchun last year. The tiger and leopard cavalry they brought are well-equipped and powerful in combat. Not to mention one can be used as ten, one can be used as five. I don't know how the commander-in-chief can solve it?"

Zhou Yu smiled and replied calmly: "Cao Cao started to raise troops from the eradication of the Yellow Turban. Most of his troops are veterans who were killed in the sea of ​​corpses and blood. It is undeniable that they are strong in combat, but those who are good at using soldiers make use of their strengths and avoid their weaknesses. Cao's army is powerful on land. We don't need to fight with it, but we can find ways to lead it to fight on the water, or use tricks and tricks to fight, such as cutting off its food supply, or "

"Ah"

Sun Quan interrupted with a laugh, and then pointed to Wu Jing: "It's really a hero who sees the same thing. General Wu once said that Cao's troops marched lightly, and the food and grass they carried must be insufficient. In gathering intelligence, see where it is most appropriate to run out of food."

"In fact, cutting off food is only one of the strategies, but Cao Cao likes to cut off other people's food very much, so he must guard the food road closely, and this strategy may not succeed."

Zhou Yu didn't consider Sun Quan's mood, and poured cold water in front of the generals, and continued the topic just now: "Chen Lan used an ambush to defeat Xiahou Dun in Zipeng Mountain. This kind of strategy of using terrain can be emulated. Jiangdong has absolute advantages in waterways. Advantages, you can use the characteristics of fast and easy movement of warships to mobilize troops or disperse the opponent's troops, and then find the opportunity to find the weak points of the troops, and finally concentrate the troops to attack them, and only need two or three successes to retreat the enemy."

Sun Quan confronted him tit for tat: "What if Cao Cao doesn't divide his forces?"

Zhou Yu was very sure: "In such a large area as Lujiang, Cao Cao will not only attack Wan County, but also divide his troops to protect the food roads, and also prevent our army from sneaking attacks. He will definitely divide his troops."

"Divide the troops and divide them. Weakness is not necessarily weak." Sun Quan reminded: "We must know that Zhang Liao and Cao Chun can easily defeat Lu Mian's five thousand with only 3000 men. If we are not careful in scheduling, we will lose our troops and generals. Jiangdong's foundation is too weak. , but can’t stand such consumption.”

Zhou Yu nodded in affirmation, and said to him: "My lord's words are not bad, so it is very important to look for opportunities. If we can't find opportunities, we can only stick to it. Cao Cao suddenly used troops against Huainan this year, and Yuan Shao will definitely not miss the opportunity. As long as we can hold on for a while, Cao Jun will be able to retreat without attacking."

Sun Quan frowned, and said in a deep voice, "We can hold on for as long as we want, even if we retreat to the other side of the Yangtze River, but don't forget that Bohai (Sun He) is still holding on in Wan County."

"Well, the situation is forcing, there is no way."

Zhou Yu let out a long sigh, and was about to give up on Sun He on the way to Chaohu Lake. Reason told him that he couldn't drag the entire Jiangdong into the water for just one person.

Seeing Zhou Yu's lonely expression, Sun Quan felt inexplicably refreshed.

He glanced at Wu Jing first, and then said playfully to Zhou Yu: "Commander, I have thought of a plan in the past two days, which may solve the crisis in Lujiang."
