Chapter 349 The Conspiracy of Lu Xun in the Central Plains

Looking at Sun Can's questioning eyes, Lu Xun was full of pride in his heart, and said to himself: "If you want to break Sun Ce, you must first conquer Moling. Moling was originally a fortified city, and now Sun Ce has built countless defensive devices on the city wall. It is not easy to attack. A strong attack on it may cause immeasurable casualties."

Sun Can thought for a while, and said: "This is the point of worry. Strong attack is not enough, only outsmart. But the opponent's defense is impeccable, and there is Pang Tong, who is extremely resourceful. It is difficult to hide ordinary tricks from his eyes. "

Lu Xun smiled lightly and said, "So we can only attack from the inside!"

"Inner attack!" Sun Can nodded thoughtfully, "You're right, Sun Ce's tactics are to confront our army from the front, because Sun Ce's army in the front is like a big shield as hard as iron, no matter how we attack, we can't attack it." Break this large shield. However, even a solid shield cannot resist the attack from the rear."

Lu Xun said, "Exactly."

Liu Hua shook his head, "Although this is the case, it is not easy to implement it. Pang Tong is good at planning, as long as he reveals a flaw, he is in danger of being used by him."

Lu Xun smiled all over his face and said, "Zijing thinks too much of Pang Tong. No matter how capable he is, he can't concentrate on everything. Mr. Don't hear it. Chief of staff? It is indeed difficult to deceive Pang Tong with ordinary tactics, but how many talents can Pang Tong take care of under the general's command?"

Sun Can said: "The many talents under Can's command are not inferior to Pang Tong's plan separately, and Pang Tong should be able to care about the front and not the future."

Lu Xun said coldly: "There are many resourceful men under Sun Ce's command, but most of them are proficient in the way of governance, and only a few of them understand the art of war and strategy. If Sun Ce is the soul of Jiangdong's army, then Pang Tong is his winged brother. Since Sun Ce is not to be taken lightly If you want to fight, then we will break his wings first, and break his limbs.

The general can divide the army into three and guard the east, west and north gates of Moling respectively.The two generals Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun can stand alone and stationed at the east and north gates respectively, and let Mr. Feng Xiao and Mr. Wen He assist while the general personally sits at the north gate.The three armies completely cut off contact, and each showed their magical powers to break through.At that time, the three armies will use several different strategies and methods to attack the city.This is like Pang Tong's brain power, and the three in a row are not weaker than his head.At the same time, the three-way army can also use the strategy of exhausting the enemy, so that the people in Moling City are panicked, and the soldiers cannot sleep peacefully.In this way, the soldiers are exhausted, the generals are exhausted, and the plot is exhausted.Within a month, even with an iron body, I will feel haggard physically and mentally, and my thoughts will not be as good as before. "

"This is a good way!" Sun Can agreed. Although this plan is troublesome, it can indeed achieve the effect Lu Xun wants.

Lu Xun said again: "This is just the beginning. As long as Pang Tong feels tired, it will be much easier to hide it from him. The way of siege is ever-changing, but it is inseparable from it. You gentlemen have learned how to shock the sky, and you must know how to attack the city. No effort."

Jia Xu's expression changed, and he asked tentatively, "Could it be that there is no food or no water?"

Lu Xun said: "Of course! As long as the time is right, the general can order people to cut off several waterways leading to Moling City, and then use manpower to connect these rivers, build embankments with sandbags, and gather water for later."

Sun Can said in a deep voice: "Inappropriate! Cutting off the water source of Moling City will not help. Moling City relies on the Yangtze River, and the underground water source is sufficient. It only needs to dig three feet to have a steady stream of water resources. Cutting off the water is absolutely not feasible. As for flooding, you can try it, but I'm afraid you won't be able to hide it from Pang Tong."

Liu Hua laughed and said, "Mr. Lu should have a plan, if it is not bad. This flooding should be a fake plan, not really implemented, just to confuse Pang Tong, you should have a plan That's right!" He said with certainty that Lu Xun, as the Jade Pillar of Optimizing Heaven in the late Jiangdong period, would definitely not be so simple.

Sure enough, Lu Xun saluted Liu Hua and said, "Just as Liu Yafu said, the plan of flooding is just a false shot. I have secretly sent two hundred dead men from the clan to stand by in Moling, ready to burn the other party's food and grass at any time. The opponent's food and grass have been burned, even though Moling is still strong, the opponent has no choice but to abandon the city and fight to the death with our army."

Guo Jia said solemnly: "Food and grass are related to Sun Ce's life and death, how can Sun Ce not know. The food and grass are heavily guarded, and it is just a dream to burn the opponent's food and grass with two hundred dead men."

Sun Can also frowned, and looked at Lu Xun with suspicion. Is this Lu Xun talented or not? If he is not talented, how did he get such admiration from Yafu? If he is talented, why did he come up with such a ridiculous plan.Not to mention only two hundred, even five hundred, or even one thousand, it would be difficult to burn Sun Ce's food, right?

Liu Hua was also muttering to himself, looking at Lu Xun with unbelievable eyes, and whispered to himself: "Is he really the Lu Xun in history who deceived Guan Yu and set fire to Liu Bei's [-]-mile camp??? "

When Lu Xun saw that everyone looked at him differently, he knew it well, and said with a smile without changing his face: "You must think that Xun's strategy is ridiculous, right?"

Sun Can said without concealment: "It is indeed a bit ridiculous."

Lu Xun continued: "It's normal for the general to have this idea, but it's not."

Sun Can was a little confused, and asked curiously, "Why?"

Lu Xun said with a smile: "The general has never been to Moling, so he doesn't know the terrain there. The city of Moling is high in the north and low in the south, and slopes to the south. In this way, water attack will be the Achilles' heel of Moling. As long as we destroy them Since they are familiar with the terrain, they will definitely be sensitive to the fact that we are going to attack with water. They will take precautions at the first time and move the grain and grass to the high ground. However, the terrain in Moling City is not good. If you want to store tens of thousands of grains and grass Easy. So, they have only two options. One, store all the grain separately. Two, store the grain in the watchtower."

"What is Wangjinglou, where did you hear it?" Sun Can asked curiously, as if he had read it in a book in his memory.

"There is a record in the Spring and Autumn Annals, and it only appeared once. It was created by Fu Chai, the concubine of the king of Wu." Guo Jia replied casually. In terms of cultural level, he is not a little bit higher than Sun Can.

Lu Xun smiled softly and said: "Mr. Feng Xiao is really knowledgeable. This Wangjing Tower is a tall building standing in the south of the city. It is said that this building was built in the Spring and Autumn Period. Dachi, and the Wangjing Tower built in Moling, this building has five floors, is five feet high, and the battlefield is huge and magnificent. Therefore, it is enough to hold ten thousand cups of grain and grass."

Sun Can analyzed: "Food and grass are the lifeblood of the army, and they are related to the lives of the three armies. If they are stored separately, it will be difficult to defend. If I were Sun Ce, I would store them in the Wangjing Tower, and then send heavy troops to garrison them to be sure. .”

Lu Xun said: "Sun Ce has no reason to be ignorant of such a simple truth. The key to this strategy lies in the Wangjing Tower. The Wangjing Tower can hold tens of thousands of grains and grass, but it can't hold thousands of people. Besides, the Wangjing Tower has a long history. It is easy to escape the fire. The guard soldiers can only be distributed outside the watchtower. If someone sets fire in the watchtower at this time, what will happen?"

Sun Can, Liu Hua, Guo Jia, and Jia Xu all had a flash of excitement in their eyes.

Sun Can was overwhelmed, he was proficient in the way of battle, and Lu Xun had already spoken so clearly at this moment, there was a reason why he didn't understand.

In fact, Lu Xun's strategy is very simple, just a common fire attack.But he complicates the game.In addition to using different methods to lure the enemy into the trap, it also quietly hides the real purpose so that no one will notice.After being manipulated by him like this, the original ordinary strategy became very clever.Whether Pang Tong will fall into this trick, he does not know.But he knew that if he was Sun Ce, then he would definitely fall into the trap.

Sun Can returned to the reality from the excitement. Lu Xun's strategy still had an obvious loophole, that is how to set fire to the food. Only by solving this problem can this strategy be truly formed.At this moment, he was full of confidence in Lu Xun, knowing that he must have someone behind him to solve this problem, so he asked: "How to set fire, how to solve this problem? Only two hundred dead men want to burn down the grain and grass in Wangjinglou. It's never going to be easy."

Lu Xun had already planned everything, and said: "This plan will not work by force, but it can be taken wisely. The extremely extravagant Wangjing Tower has eight corners on the roof that tilt in eight directions, and these eight corners are enough to hide eight people. We only need to advance The condemned people climbed to the top of the tower and hid in the corner of the building, so they would not be noticed by the other party. When they acted in the future, the other dead men would set fire around Moling City, causing chaos. The dead men lurking in the corner of the building could also take the opportunity to sneak into the building set fire."

"Miaozai, Miaozai, Miaozai!!!" Sun Can said three "Miaozai" in one breath. Lu Xun's strategy seems to be chaotic, but in fact there is a connection in the dark.Once the Wangjing Tower catches fire, Sun Ce is bound to send an army to put out the fire.However, the river has been cut off at this moment, and they only have to dig well water to put out the fire.As a result, the water from the small well mouth could not keep up with the spread of the fire.What's more, grain and grass are the most direct flammable items.

Guo Jia also exclaimed joyfully: "This plan is really wonderful. Before the plan is implemented, they can gather their troops in one place first, and attract most of the soldiers with a strong attack, so that they can defend and fight the fire at the same time, exhausted."

Liu Hua continued: "Before the action, let the dead man pour oil into the mouth of the surrounding wells, and the oil will float when it meets the water. When the other party comes to fetch water, throw the fire into the well. The well will inevitably catch fire, and this can delay the other party's time to fight the fire. . If the other party is a moment late, the fire will be even bigger."

Jia Xu also said with a sinister smile, "The water attack can also be used by us. After the fire, Sun Ce's army must be exhausted. If we open the gates and release the water at this moment, we will definitely have a miraculous effect. At that time, the opponent's food and grass will be burned first, and they will be flooded." After the attack, there is no reason to be invincible."

With the support of Liu Hua, Guo Jia, and Jia Xu, Lu Xun's strategy became more practical, and Sun Can suddenly felt that the day of unifying Jiangdong was not far away.
