Three Kingdoms: At the beginning, Lu Bu was mistaken for his father-in-law

Chapter 314 Chapter 313 Conspiracy, impeccable

Recently, rumors have been flying all over the Huainan area.

Some people are saying that Lu Su avenged his personal revenge in public and used foreign enemies to weaken the Huainan faction.

This statement is really not completely unfounded.

First of all, Liu Ye, the leader of the Huainan Gang, has already written an emergency letter asking for help, but Anfeng City with 4 people is indifferent. In their view, even if Guan Yu comes with 3 to [-] people, you can divide your troops to come to the rescue.

Liu Ye, who knew the general situation, had explained many times that Lu Su didn't want to come, but he didn't dare to come. There were troops in Anfeng city, but the elites were limited. Once the troops were divided, they were worried about being ambushed by Jiangdong soldiers and horses along the way, and they were also afraid of Guan Yu. Start from behind.

At first, some people were willing to believe it, but after Lu Su defeated Guan Yu twice, he still did not choose to come to the rescue. Instead, he tried to pin Guan Yu to death and suffered a big loss. Now Liu Ye said nothing.

What's more, some people think that Lu Su's move is a conspiracy.

If he doesn't come to rescue, those people who are loyal to Lu Lin will inevitably suffer from Sun Ce's violent temper. But if you obey Jiangdong and go back to regain the lost territory, you will settle the score later.

Lu Su is going to put us Huainan Gang people on the fire.

Now, the only good news is that Sun Ce did not launch a large-scale attack on Jiujiang. In terms of settling down Lujiang, he was still somewhat humane and did not repeat the Lujiang tragedy of the past.

What's even more outrageous is that he took the betrothal gift to Qiao's house in Wan County to propose marriage.

Lu Bu was so prosperous back then, but Qiao Gong didn't even give him a good look. What's more, at this stage, Sun Ce's footing was still unstable.

Of course, the reason why Duke Qiao refused did not directly mention the betrothal to Lin Mo. He just said that he wanted to consider it and asked Wu Hou to go back first.

"Sister, do you think Sun Ce will give up?" Under the pavilion in the backyard of Qiao's family, there is still the same Xiao Qiao in white. She is already slim and slim, and even her figure that was a little underweight in the past two years has caught up, as if she is otherworldly. Fairy.

"You just want to ask, will the Marquis come back to fight off the enemy?" Da Qiao, who was also wearing a white one-piece dress, smiled bitterly.

If it was a year ago, when Liu Ye talked about marrying Lin Mo for the Qiao family, she would have said the word "yes" firmly.

But now.

She didn't dare to hope anymore.

Some things, if you don’t expect them, you won’t be disappointed.

When he was in Pengcheng, he said he would arrive in Anhui County within a year, and she believed him.

When he was in the Northern Kingdom, he said that there were frequent wars, but he would not forget the promise made in the past, and she believed him.

But now, year after year, she doesn't like to make such assumptions anymore.

What to expect?

"Maybe the Marquis will be like the young general in the story, riding a white horse, leading all the troops, retreating the enemy in times of danger, and then taking the initiative to propose marriage to his father?" Xiao Qiao's head was resting on his jade arm. On the stone table, he said boredly.

She is not as pessimistic as Da Qiao, but she also feels that this kind of thing will only appear in story books. The stories in story books always depict a story of a hero saving a beauty, turning the tide, finally becoming famous, and harvesting love. ending.

But even a girl like Xiao Qiao, who loves fantasy, understands that the reason why the storybook is a storybook is because it is nothing more than people's longing for good things that they can't put down.

In the real world, such a thing does not exist at all.

"Even if there is such a day, he is only doing it for the great cause, and definitely not for you and me." The early autumn wind swept over her face, and the green silk caressed the hibiscus-like skin, and also outlined her heart.

"Then if there really comes a day, will sister forgive him?" Xiao Qiao raised her head and smiled, the kind of innocent smile with unlimited expectations for a better future.

At the beginning, Da Qiao would respond with a smile, "What's the point of forgiving or not forgiving? We can't force him to do anything."

Later, Da Qiao smiled a little reluctantly and said that as long as he could come, all the waiting would be worth it.

But now, she just looked at the girl with bright eyes, shook her head, and murmured: "He won't come."

"If father thinks the same way as you do, if Sun Ce makes a few more trips, he might agree." Xiao Qiao was a little discouraged.

The two parties have never met, but Sun Ce's name has been heard for some years.

He is a brave and skilled general with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, which is in line with the current thoughts of the young girl Huaichun.

But whether it was because of Mu Qiang's heart or because of the irresponsible oath, in their hearts they were waiting for the energetic and talented man from the Pengcheng Poetry Festival to come back and marry them.

"Old man, any consideration is just an excuse!" After leaving Qiao Mansion, Sun Ce suppressed his anger with half-narrowed eyes.

"There is no need to be angry, Bo Fu. The situation is still unclear at the moment. In the eyes of the Huainan scholars, we are just staying here temporarily. When they realize that Yangzhou will eventually be unified, I think Duke Qiao will be much calmer." Zhou Yu was relieved. many.

"I'm not angry with the old man, but if this doesn't happen, our plan will have to be shelved."

Sun Ce, who was riding a gale horse, raised his head and sighed, "Do we have to let Jiangdong's sons fight with their lives?"

Now that there is a war, it sounds ridiculous to come here to propose marriage.

Sun Ce is not a hot-tempered person, nor is he a ridiculous person. This matter must start with Zhou Yu's plan.

After taking Lujiang, they did not rush to attack Jiujiang, nor did they attack Anfeng. They just wanted them to fight and reap the benefits.

However, during this process, Zhou Yu discovered a very interesting thing, that is, the Huainan scholars were more eager for Anfeng reinforcements than the Xuzhou side.

In addition to the distance issue, it turns out that the Huainan faction is also involved.

After several battles in Anfeng, there were not many Xuzhou veterans left in the early years. A large part of the new recruits later came from the three counties of Huainan.

This incident made Zhou Yu start to have new thoughts.

That is, to instigate rebellion against the Huainan faction.

The leader of the Huainan faction is Liu Ye. Liu Ye has tried it but it has no effect, but he has a deep friendship with the Qiao family. At the same time, the Qiao family's influence among the Huainan scholars is still second in line, even if it is not as good as Liu Ye. .

Therefore, they thought about getting married to the Qiao family. In such a community of interests, Mr. Qiao would have to stand up and speak out.

It is of course the best if Liu Ye can be dealt with. Even if he cannot be dealt with, the Huainan Army in Anfeng City may be shaken.

After all, the general, deputy general, and supervisor of an army can be your direct descendants, Lu Lin, but the captain, captain, and army commander may all be yours, so you have to give up some positions.

Of course, it is impossible to say that it is a collective rebellion, but as long as a group of people agrees, the strong city of Anfeng will have loopholes.

How was Shouchun City breached in the first place?Isn’t it because Lu Su was an insider?

Now that the marriage plan failed, Sun Ce was naturally angry.

"Report! Lord, a letter from Guan Yu." A sergeant rode up and handed a bundle of bamboo slips into Sun Ce's hands.

After reading the contents above, Sun Ce's expression lit up at first, then his eyes darkened, and finally he angrily smashed the bamboo slips to the ground and cursed: "How dare you be so frivolous after losing two battles!"

Zhou Yu glanced at the bamboo slips on the ground and chuckled: "In the night attack, relying on his control of the timing, he defeated the many with less and wiped out more than ten thousand enemies. Guan Yu was inevitably arrogant, but he urged his lord to go to Anfeng quickly. ?”

Sun Ce snorted coldly and nodded.

You said you, Cui urged, and even insulted people, whether the soldiers and horses of Jiangdong are too weak, and they can't take Jiujiang for so long, they can't come, or they don't dare to come. If they really don't dare to come, he will take it himself. It's safe, don't ask him for it then.

"I'm worried that this guy will retreat when the time comes. Without the support of other troops, we will have no choice but to attack Anfeng." Sun Ce sighed and said helplessly.

"Since the plan doesn't work, let's fall into the plan." Zhou Yu smiled.

"What's the trick?" Sun Ce frowned.

"A large-scale attack on Jiujiang, laying siege to many cities along the way, not rushing to break through, in order to build momentum and put pressure on Lu Su. Even if he can't bear it and doesn't come to rescue, the Huainan army under him will not be able to bear it.

At that time, even if we cannot provoke a mutiny, we take Jiujiang. Firstly, the Huainan scholars will not resist us to the end. Secondly, when they besiege Anfeng, their military morale is already shaky, and they even have some bounties. Opportunity to incite rebellion against them. "

After Zhou Yu finished speaking, Sun Ce laughed loudly, "Wonderful, wonderful!"

This can be regarded as a conspiracy.

Now, Sun Ce is afraid that Lu Su will defend Anfeng. God knows when Lu Lin's reinforcements will arrive and he must be forced out of the city.In this way, the Huainan Gang headed by Liu Ye will definitely put enough pressure on Lu Su to send troops for rescue.

not help?

It doesn't matter, it will be natural for us to surrender when the time comes.

As long as the main force of the Huainan faction surrenders, it will not be a problem to instigate the Huainan army in Anfeng City.

He did what he said. On the same day, Sun Ce summoned Taishi Ci, Cheng Pu, Han Dang and others to discuss the military plan.

The army, which was already in a state of war preparation, did not need to waste too much time. After only one day of preparation, the [-]-strong army began to move towards Jiujiang.

According to normal circumstances, even the governor of Shouchun now only has more than 4000 troops, let alone other counties. Of course, Jiangdong soldiers and horses should besiege the city in one go.

But Sun Ce chose the method of loud thunder and small rain, taking one city after another, and making the momentum loud enough. There was no other way, I had to give them time to ask for help, and I also had to give them the heart to decide that even if I rebelled, it was reasonable. Prepare.

Who is Liu Ye? How can he be deceived by such tricks?

He knew it, but he really had nothing to do.

The Huainan faction has long disliked the Xuzhou family, and the delay in sending troops to rescue has only added fuel to the fire. Now, they are all calling, what can he do, even if he is the boss of the Huainan gang? , you also have to consider the thoughts of the following group of people.

You know, in a faction, it may be this group of scholars who stand up and speak out, but the real background includes the generals in the army.

He had to worry about what everyone thought. Even if he knew that Lu Su had his own reasons, he could only join everyone in scolding Lu Su for not being a son of a man, reading the sage's book in vain, and even directly stated that he wanted to complain to Lu Bu and Lin Mo.

"What the hell are you doing? Soldiers are admonishing you. If we don't send troops to rescue you, you can surrender to Jiangdong Sun Ce with peace of mind. Is that what you mean?" Yan Liang was furious and glared at the scout who came to deliver the message.

On a normal day, there is no reason why the scouts would not be afraid of the general, but today, the team was afraid of the general, but they still had the courage to ask: "In the battle of Lujiang, our brothers suffered heavy casualties. Even General Gan Ning of Guangling led the navy. Come and defeat the enemy.

However, there were 4 to [-] people in Anfeng City, but the generals and supervisors were unwilling to send troops to rescue them. The generals and others just wanted to know. "

"you"

"What are you doing!"

Yan Liang was at a loss for words when asked and wanted to take action. Wen Chou quickly stopped and then looked at Lu Su with a frown.

The situation is a bit bad.

In the past, messages were delivered by one person, but this time, twenty riders were sent. The purpose was already clear.

In other words, they couldn't hide the content of this letter even if they wanted to, because the others had already gone to the military camp, and now they couldn't tell what was going on in the camp.

The thing I was most worried about finally happened.

"Reply to Ziyang and ask him to hold on for ten days. Within ten days, Anfeng reinforcements will be seen." Lu Su did not dare to gamble and had to relent.

He knew very well that with these 3 people and the food, grass and weapons in the city, he could indeed hold on for half a year until reinforcements arrived.

The question is, will the people below answer?

Judging from the content of this letter, it is no longer limited to the dispute between the Xuzhou faction and the Huainan faction, but is going to induce a mutiny. He has to agree if he agrees, and if he doesn't agree, he has to agree.

Otherwise, once Jiujiang falls, that group of people will surrender to Sun Ce. What will happen to the Huainan Army in the city?Kill them all?
Even if you change the captains, captains, commanders, and even marquises and centurions, will the sergeants still listen to you?

This is the influence of a faction. It is definitely not purely political, but can spread to every corner, including the military. One aristocratic family is painful, let alone an alliance of a group of aristocratic families.

"Okay, the general believes in the supervisory army. If we go back this time, we will wait for Anfeng's reinforcements even if we risk our lives." The scout surrendered and retreated.

In the hall, Lu Su, Wen Chou, Yan Liang and Hao Zhao were silent.

It must be given, but how to give it is a headache.

There are [-] soldiers and horses in Jiangdong, and they are led by the lord himself. In addition, with the great victory over Lujiang, the morale will be as high as a rainbow.

The entire Anfeng City now has only 3 people. The night attack battle has led to low military morale. This can be resolved by the soldiers' feelings of guarding the Douban family.

But once you leave 3 people, what will Anfeng do?
If they can't go so far, then it's easy to say that the frontline wins, but if they lose, those who stay in Anfeng will die. Jinyang City is the best example.

If it's Stud, what should Guan Yu do if he attacks behind his back?
These problems are all real, and one wrong step could lead to total annihilation.

Lu Su actually had no experience in leading an army. In fact, after joining Lu Lin, let alone commanding an army alone, he had very few opportunities to go into battle with the army. Most of the time he was doing logistics work.

It was not easy to be able to deal with Guan Yu for so long.

After using troops one after another, it is difficult to have to issue a proposition like this.

He even regretted it a little. If he had known it earlier, it would be better to listen to Lin Mo. Perhaps, people had already seen this level at the beginning.

Not everyone who has this kind of burden falls on their shoulders will have the high hopes of turning the tide.

Lu Su felt very tired. Not everyone was willing to gamble on such a choice.

Moreover, it is an indisputable fact that Lu Su is better at strategic vision than military skills, and he himself has a clear understanding of it.

Let him go to arm-wrestle with Zhou Yu. Even without the Chibi Halo around him, Lu Su still knows this high-spirited contemporary. His fame is far less than that of Lin Mo and Jia Xu, and he is not even as famous as Zhuge Liang, but he is definitely the best in the world. The existence of wizards.

I'm afraid I won't be able to fight in a head-on battle.

"Hey, what are you doing? We have enough troops and food on hand. If we attack Sun Ce, we can attack Sun Ce. What's so great about Jiangdong's soldiers and horses? Wenyuan's eight hundred personal guards defeated tens of thousands of them and left the ground full of teeth. We can't be afraid of them.

Why don't my brother stay in Anfeng City, and I'll take Bo Dao and lead [-] troops there, and let them go back wherever they came from? "Yan Liang couldn't stand this depressing atmosphere, so he held it in for a moment and then exploded.

Wen Chou did not refute Yan Liang this time, but looked at Lu Su with solicitous eyes. It was obvious that he agreed.

The soldiers and horses in Jiangdong cannot be defeated without fighting, but Guan Yu cannot help but be on guard.

In addition to worrying about him attacking the city, the biggest consideration was fearing that he would suddenly attack from behind.

Although the alliance between the two parties seems to be full of unstable factors from the front, the two sides are fighting to the death. Who knows if this red-faced thief will be motivated?
When everyone was extremely serious, Lu Su smiled bitterly.

He thought of Lin Mo, who was only 17 years old when he followed his father-in-law to conquer the world, and he had the courage to make various choices;

I also thought of the old scumbag who kept a low profile and acted as an inconspicuous staff member, but once he led the army, he had the courage to make decisions.

I also think of Zhuge Liang. He seemed to be only twenty when he came out of the mountain.

I even thought of Chen Deng. If he were still in this position, he would have the courage to use troops without hesitation.

In fact, this has nothing to do with Lu Su's courage, but due to his character.

He is always willing to make compromises to seek stability. He can use military skills to determine the fate of life and death in an instant. There is no foolproof strategy.

He tightened his fists, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Bo Dao, you lead five thousand troops to stay in Anfeng to contain Guan Yu. Please ask two generals to lead twenty-five thousand troops to attack Sun Ce. I will go with you." !”

After the three of them looked at each other, they all nodded in agreement.

This battle will be very dangerous.

Jiangdong's army has been waiting for him on the other side for a long time. In addition, now and in the past, the other party can not only set up ambushes in various places calmly, but also wait for work in leisure, which is difficult.

However, no matter how difficult the road is, when the time comes to make a decision, you still have to do it.

When things have developed to this point, there is no way out.

To be honest, Lu Su only regretted why he failed to succeed in the night attack, which ruined his plan of two thousand cattle.

In the end, Anfeng was forced into such a dilemma.
