Now under Sun Quan, the only one who can be trusted, talented, and has a "clean resume" is Lu Meng. The so-called clean resume does not mean that Lu Meng has not committed any crimes in the past. Just kidding, this kid has probably done a lot of petty theft. In Sun Quan's case, a clean resume means that he has no past. Lu Meng has never served in the military. No matter where he is, no matter what kind of Bai Xiaosheng he meets, no one will recognize him. Therefore, it is most suitable for Lu Meng to handle this task.
Sun Quan also hopes to take this opportunity to let Lu Meng make a contribution and perform well, so that he can be promoted quickly and logically. Otherwise, how can others be easily convinced? To be honest, not many people have the guts to do such a dangerous thing alone. This alone will make many people speechless in the future.
In fact, at this point, the task assigned to Lu Meng by Sun Quan has been completed. Although by some mistake, there was a reason for Xu Gong to help, no matter what, Lu Meng had successfully tricked Yan Baihu into sending troops. Not only that, this letter also brought down two other large bandits in the west, which provided enough excuses for Sun Ce's subsequent westward expansion strategy.
Moreover, on the way back after being rescued by the bandits and soldiers, Lu Meng also secretly left specific marks, which provided an effective route for Sun Quan to lead his army into the mountains to find Yan Baihu's base. Otherwise, if Sun Ce knew where Yan Baihu was in this barren mountain, he would have led his troops to attack him long ago.
However, after completing all this, Lu Meng was not satisfied yet, he wanted to accomplish more.
In the room, the disheveled Lu Meng only had a pair of extremely smart eyes, with bursts of light shining in them. Now that we have penetrated deep into the enemy camp, why not take the opportunity to assassinate the enemy general as well! As long as Yan Baihu dies, the bandits here will be leaderless, won't they be easily captured? When the army reaches the border, they might just surrender without having to fight.
Thinking like this, Lu Meng sneaked out of the room while no one was there, and then, following his memory, hurried to the main hall just now. At that time, if someone discovers him, Lu Meng only needs to use the name of Messenger Chen to get close to Yan Baihu easily. As long as he gets close to Yan Baihu, he can wait for an opportunity to kill!
Unfortunately, by the time Lu Meng arrived at the main hall, Yan Baihu had already gone out to dispatch troops, and it was Xu Gong and the others who were bumped into by Lu Meng.
······
at the same time,
Behind the barren mountain where Yan Baihu is located, Sun Quan is leading 5,000 elites, Zhou Tai, and Jiang Qin to ambush here. Another 5,000 ordinary soldiers, led by Dong Xi and Ling Cao, are guarding the barracks. Practice as usual.
Sun Quan was good at strategy and had strong personal force, but to be honest, he had no idea how to lead an army. To put it bluntly, if there was a real fight, Sun Quan would probably only be able to shout orders like 'attack' and 'retreat'. In comparison, Zhou Tai had some experience in leading troops, but Zhou Tai had only led a small team of a hundred or ten people. He was better at being a personal guard and protecting Sun Quan. Therefore, Sun Quan had to bring Jiang Qin with him. Although Jiang Qin is also a young man, he has accumulated a lot of experience by following Sun Ce in many battles this time. With these two people by his side, and the opponent being Yan Baihu, who is an irregular army, there must be no problems.
At this time, Sun Quan and others' ambush was on the side of the barren mountain leading to Wu Commandery. If Yan Baihu's team rushed directly to Wu County after leaving the mountain, they would definitely not be able to find them. Once there is a good enough opportunity, it is a good idea for Sun Quan to make a sneak attack, wait for the enemy to pass before attacking from both sides, or directly rush to Yan Baihu's base camp to take advantage of the opportunity. At that time, Sun Quan can make a decision based on the results in the fantasy of Let Me Think Again. Therefore, Sun Quan is not too worried about the situation on his side. In contrast, Sun Quan was still more worried about Lu Meng's safety.
However, Sun Quan also knew that if you don't throw the young eagle off the cliff, it will not learn to fly. If Sun Quan wants a useful Lu Meng, he must train him and let him grow step by step. If it had been cultivated in a greenhouse, Lü Meng would still be Lü Meng, but he would no longer be the Lü Meng who could deceive Guan Yu and seize Jingzhou in history!
Waiting is painful. Before coming, Sun Quan had expectations in his heart. Even if he waits for a day, Yan Baihu may not show up. It depends on the speed of Yan Baihu's dispatch of troops. But in fact, there is a premise for this. If Yan Baihu is not fooled and he does not send troops at all, then Sun Quan's energy will be in vain no matter how long he waits.
Fortunately, God did not play tricks on Sun Quan. Yan Baihu was fooled, and with Xu Gong's instigation, he immediately sent troops. Of course, by the time Yan Baihu's troops actually walked out of the barren mountains, Sun Quan had already stayed there for most of the day.
When the spies reported that a large number of men came out of the mountains, Sun Quan immediately became energetic and quickly asked Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin to assemble the army. Even Sun Quan is tired of waiting, let alone other ordinary soldiers? If you don't cheer up and find your state, even if you are caught by surprise, it won't produce very good results.
Because the barren mountain was so large, Sun Quan was not sure where Yan Baihu and others would go out of the mountain in advance. To be on the safe side, he found a more remote place to ambush. As a result, now that Yan Baihu has really come out of the mountain, Sun Quan's troops are still far away from the enemy.
Therefore, Sun Quan asked Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin to stay where they were and continue to reorganize the army. After the reorganization was completed, he would lead his troops and rush over. He would go ahead and follow the spies, preparing to take a closer look at the situation. Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin believed that this move was unsafe, so they naturally tried their best to stop it. Unfortunately, no one could convince Sun Quan. In this regard, Sun Quan is almost as stubborn as his eldest brother Sun Ce. In other words, both brothers are overconfident in their martial arts and think that nothing will go wrong easily.
After Sun Quan left, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were afraid of something happening and did not dare to delay. They could only assemble their troops and set off as soon as possible.
Sun Quan and others quickly arrived at the area where Yan Baihu's troops came out of the mountain.
Hidden in a forest, Sun Quan's first reaction was that there were many people on the opposite side, more than he imagined, and he didn't know if Yan Baihu was willing to risk everything and rush out. Although rationally, Sun Quan knew very well that the opponent was just a mob, and no matter how many people there were, they could not form much fighting power. But I have to say that sometimes, the large number of people is a kind of shock. There are tens of thousands of people, just standing in front of you, there is a deep pressure.
This is a problem that Sun Quan, including many new recruits, urgently need to overcome. If you get cold feet as soon as you come in and don't dare to step forward when faced with multiple enemies, then no matter how well-trained you are or how perfect your military strategy is, if you charge several times, your own side may be the first to be defeated.
You can't hope that your enemy will be more cowardly than you. You can only hone yourself over and over again to overcome your fear bit by bit.
At this moment, Sun Quan sighed again, fortunately he allowed me to think twice about his magical skills.
