After a while, the soldier was brought to Sun Quan.
"Meet Wu Hou, the last general is a subordinate of the right governor."
The man first announced his home address, and then said in a hurried tone,
"Cao's army suddenly raided Jiangxia County. The right commander could not stop him and retreated from Fankou."
"What? How is this possible?"
Upon hearing the news, Sun Quan stood up in shock, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
Fankou and Jiangling are separated by the Yangtze River and the large Yunmengze area. Jiangdong's warships are on the Yangtze River.
How did Cao Jun do it and attack Fankou silently?
"What Marquis Wu doesn't know is that Cao's army first built a pontoon bridge and went south from Jiangling to attack the police, and then sent cavalry to attack Fankou thousands of miles away!"
The soldier explained.
"What about Liu Bei? Didn't he stop Cao Jun? Didn't he send someone to inform the right commander?"
Sun Quan asked with his eyes widened.
"According to the inference of the right commander, Liu Bei was defeated by Cao's army, but he did not go south, but went west into Shu!"
"Liu Bei, this big-eared thief, is so shameless that he ran away without saying a word!"
Sun Quan immediately became furious!
Previously, when the two of them joined forces to fight against Cao Cao, Jiangdong provided Liu Bei with a large amount of food, grass and baggage.
When the territory was divided after the war, although Sun Quan was reluctant, he still gave Nanjun, Wuling and other places to Liu Bei to let him develop his power.
Even if you have a dog, it will bark a few times!
However, when Cao's army attacked, Liu Bei didn't even say hello, he just rubbed oil on his feet and ran away!
Such a bastard still wants to marry his own sister? Even the tip of the wheel can't reach him!
At this moment, Lu Xun on the side suddenly wanted to understand something and said with a wry smile,
"This Yang Ling is really awesome!"
"What does Bo Yan mean by this?"
Lu Meng looked at Lu Xun with some confusion.
"Yang Ling first built a dock in Jiangling and made it look like he was going to fight a protracted war with us."
"Following me, he quietly left Jiangling, went straight to Hefei, captured Ruxukou with thunderous force, sneaked into Jianye, and captured Mrs. Wu and the eldest lady."
"But after he succeeded, he deliberately refused to leave. The purpose was to attract Wu Hou and the main force of our army back to Jianye."
"At the same time, Cao's army who stayed in Jiangling also crossed the river and launched an attack on Liu Bei!"
"Yang Ling plays with us all while chatting and laughing. Isn't it amazing?"
After figuring out Yang Ling's series of operations, Lu Xun couldn't help but feel extremely emotional!
Everyone was silent.
They had to admit that Lu Xun's praise of Yang Ling was not excessive at all.
Originally, after Sima Yi defeated Jiangxia, the situation in Jingzhou and even the entire war situation, even if it was not biased in favor of the Sun-Liu coalition, was evenly divided between the two sides.
But after Yang Ling's coquettish operation, he not only kidnapped three Jiangdong beauties, Pan Shu, Bu Lianshi, and Qiao Ying, making Sun Quan lose face, he also drove Liu Bei away and broke up the Sun-Liu coalition.
More importantly, Cao Wei has strategically completed the encirclement of Jiangdong!
"If Governor Zuo was still here, he might be able to fight with this person. It's just a pity..."
Lu Xun sighed.
Although he prides himself on his quick thinking, he has no confidence when facing Yang Ling.
Hearing Lu Xun mention Zhou Yu, a trace of gloom flashed across Sun Quan's face.
"Bo Yan, do you have any good ideas now?"
Lu Xun pondered for a moment and said softly,
"My subordinates think that Marquis Wu should do three things!"
"What three things?"
"The first thing is to build a defense line along the border between Yangzhou and Jingzhou and be prepared to stop Cao's army."
Lu Xun said slowly,
"It will take at least a year and a half for Cao Jun to reorganize his navy. Therefore, it is unlikely that they will attack from the water. We only need to prepare a good defense on land."
Sun Quan nodded,
"You are absolutely right! What about the second thing?"
"My lord must find a way to contact Liu Zhang and Liu Bei in Sichuan and ask them to provide support from the west."
Cao Wei occupied Jingzhou, and direct communication between Sichuan, Shu and Jiangdong was cut off.
Fortunately, Sun Quan could still send people to detour to Jiaozhou and go north from Yulin County in the west into Sichuan and Shu.
Although he was quite angry at Liu Bei's behavior of running away without telling him, Sun Quan also understood that the overall situation was the most important thing.
If when Cao Jun attacks Jiangdong, Liu Zhang and Liu Bei can go east along the Yangtze River and attack Cao Jun from behind, then Jiangdong's situation will be much better.
Therefore, he did not hesitate and immediately ordered,
"Mr. Zijing, Mr. Ziyu (Zhuge Jin's courtesy name), please two of you come over."
In order to successfully persuade Liu Bei, Sun Quan sent Lu Su and Zhuge Liang's brother Zhuge Jin out.
"Subordinates take orders!"
The situation was urgent and the journey was long, so the two set off immediately after receiving the order.
After Lu Su and Zhuge Jin left, Sun Quan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lu Xun again.
"What was the third thing Boyan said?"
"Please also ask Wu Hou to send an envoy to win over Yang Ling."
Although Lu Xun’s voice was soft, it surprised everyone!
They were mortal enemies with Yang Ling, so Lu Xun would actually suggest trying to win over him?
Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, Lu Xun explained calmly,
"Wu Hou and you guys, don't be impatient and just listen to me slowly."
"Although Yang Ling is a high-ranking general of the imperial court, his situation is actually extremely bad."
"Even though he is Cao Pi's brother-in-law, he holds military power and is extremely prestigious. He has already made the Cao family fearful!"
"Otherwise, Cao Ah'an would not have married several daughters to Yang Ling one after another while he was still alive."
"But despite this, Cao's suspicion of Yang Ling has not been dispelled."
"When Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty and established his own country, why did he transfer Yang Ling back and replace him with Sima Yi?"
"To put it bluntly, it's because Yang Ling's achievements are so impressive that Cao Pi can't let go."
"It's just that the war turned against him and Cao Pi was forced to bow his head, so Yang Ling returned to Jingzhou."
"The cunning rabbit dies, and the good dog is cooked. The tall bird is gone, but the good bow is hidden. The enemy's country is destroyed, and the adviser is dead."
"Han Xin can be regarded as a god in military skills, so he can't be inferior to Yang Ling, so what?"
"After Han Gaozu unified the world, didn't he still kill him?"
"Yang Ling is a smart man. He should understand that once he destroys our Jiangdong, his fate will be similar to that of Han Xin!"
Lu Xun's eloquent remarks made Sun Quan and others in Jiangdong nod their heads.
"Then according to Boyan, how should we win over him?"
Sun Quan asked.
"On the one hand, Xiao uses the example of Han Xin to persuade Yang Ling."
Lu Xun said calmly,
"On the other hand, it is natural to win over him through benefits."
"But this man is a high-ranking general of the imperial court, so what can we do to impress him?"
Lu Meng said doubtfully.
Lu Xun smiled slightly and uttered three words:
"Miss!"
Everyone was stunned and subconsciously looked at Sun Shangxiang beside them.
