Chapter 514: The Heart of the Ancestor is Unpredictable
There will be hundreds of battles in Guanzhong to help Zhongxing. It is expected that the enemy's masters will be as clever as gods. ----------Southern Song Dynasty. Xu Jun's "Li Guangbi"
Speaking of the Yellow Crane Tower, a group of people pointed out the country. Although these people are young, they are all people who would make the Yangtze River tremble when they stamp their feet. Zhuge Liang seemed to have millions of heroes in his chest. He waved his goose feather fan and analyzed the situation calmly, which made Sun Quan put aside his worries and feel relieved. Sun Quan couldn't help but let out a heavy breath, and suddenly realized that the young Zhuge military advisor next to him had the talent to dominate the world.
Sun Quan's heart trembled. Talents are rare these days, let alone military talents, but the tall young man next to him is the enemy's talent. If it cannot be used by me, it should be killed and eradicated. If Cao Mengde hadn't insisted on going south, the enemy Jiangdong Army feared most would be the Qinglong Army. When Cao Mengde decided on the direction of the war, he did not choose to cross the Yellow River north but chose to go south to the Yangtze River. This was probably because the Yellow River was controlled by the Qinglong Army, and Cao Cao did not have the determination to win northward.
The murderous intention flashed in Sun Quan's heart, but Zhuge Liang seemed to be completely clueless and turned to look at Lu Meng behind him. Surprisingly, Lu Meng was standing next to Mengxue, and the two of them were gesticulating, not knowing what they were talking about. Ruoxue and Gan Ning walked to the other side of the Yellow Crane Tower to see the scenery, where they could see the entire newly built Xiakou City. Only Lu Su stood silently next to Ling Tong. The old one was steady and self-possessed, while the younger one had an unruly look on his face. They were both as cold as ice and silent.
Zhuge Liang took in the expressions of everyone behind him at a glance, and was only slightly surprised by the pair of Lu Meng and Mengxue. The first time Zhuge Liang saw Lu Meng, he felt a sense of danger, a thousand times more dangerous than the frosty Ling Tong. This person doesn't do things without purpose. Why did he go to talk to Mengxue, who was as still as water?
Zhuge Liang only glanced at it, then immediately turned back to Sun Quan and said: "I have said so much, whether it is a sneak attack on Hefei or the capture of Jiangxia, Zhongmou needs to lead the troops to cooperate. But I don't know the deployment of your Jiangdong Army. , can you disclose it to our Qinglong Army?"
Sun Quan shook his head slightly and said: "Of course, since we are allies and we are fighting jointly, we should be open and honest. However, now military matters must be agreed by my elder brother and Governor Zhou. I will ask for instructions as soon as I return to Lujiang."
Zhuge Liang knew that Sun Quan was just a special envoy to welcome him and Lu Su, and had no power to say anything militarily. However, Sun Quan is cultivating his own team among lower-level officers, and Lu Meng is an example. After thinking for a while, he changed the topic and said, "Where are Cao Cao's five armies located now?"
Sun Quan knew this, so he organized his speech and said: "Cao Ren, the commander of Cao's army, led 50,000 troops and set up a camp at Luqi Mountain in Shuzhou, which was only seventy miles away from the north gate of Lujiang City. Xia Houyuan, the commander of the left army, led 50,000 troops. Wan, marched along the shore of Chaohu Lake and set up a camp at Donggu Mountain east of the Lujiang River, which was only a hundred miles away from the east gate of Lujiang City. The deputy general on the left, Le Jin, led an army of 30,000 to flank Xiahou Yuan, located on the shore of Chaohu Lake Somewhere, it echoes Xiahou Yuan's camp. The right commander, General Jin, leads 50,000 Qingzhou soldiers. It is located at Yemaoling to the west of Lujiang River. The camp is only fifty miles away from the west gate of Lujiang City. The deputy general on the right, Li Dian, leads 30,000 soldiers and is stationed there. Shijiajian, southwest of Lujiang, is only a hundred miles away from the west gate of Lujiang. Today's Hefei City has become the most important supply base for Cao's army. Military supplies and grain and grass are constantly transported from Shouchun. If Hefei City is broken, Cao Cao's five routes The soldiers will be trapped in this circular area between the Dabie Mountains and Chaohu Lake. If they cannot break through the Lujiang River, they will starve to death."
These words fully demonstrated Sun Quan's military ability. Zhuge Liang nodded slightly and said: "Surrounding three and missing one? It seems to be Cao Cao's usual trick. The only way to safely enter and exit the Lujiang River is through the bank of the southern foot of the Lujiang River."
Sun Quan nodded and said, "Exactly. Currently, all the way in and out of the Lujiang River is through the river banks in Chungu County, Nghe An County, and Lingyang County. Troops and supplies also pass through the temporary military port."
Zhuge Liang continued: "According to what you said, Cao Cao's total military strength is 210,000. Will there be any more troops entering Hefei City in the future?"
Sun Quan shook his head and said: "I really don't know this yet. Next, Kong Ming and Zijing can follow me to Lujiang to meet with my eldest brother and Governor Zhou Yu to study the next military deployment. As for Queyue City opposite..." Sun Quan hesitated. After a moment, he did not continue.
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "Just now, there were a few boats with Huang Zu's flag on the river. When they saw the Qinglong Navy entering Huanghe Military Port, they must have gone back and reported to Huang Zu. Now, the strength of Cao Cao's army and Jiangdong's army are clearly visible. , only our Qinglong Army can be regarded as a surprise force, and the matter of Sun Long's alliance is still a secret for the time being. Huang Zu doesn't know who is behind it. If it weren't for being close to Jiangdong, our secret would not be a secret at all. The Qinglong Army made a surprise attack through Lu'an Hefei is just a joke. And if we don't make a decisive decision, I'm afraid the entire Lujiang defense battle will end in failure."
Sun Quan felt a chill run down his spine, and he took a deep breath and said, "You're saying that Cao Cao might be behind Huang Zu!" Zhuge Liang said calmly, "What do you think?"
The more Sun Quan thought about it, the more he became afraid. If Cao Jun persuaded Huang Zu to surrender, it would be equivalent to establishing a breakthrough along the Yangtze River. All major cities in the east of the Yangtze River, including the new capital Jiankang and the old capital Jingkou, were all sailed down the river overnight by Jiangxia warships. Within the range. The temporary military port on the bank of the Lujiang River may be captured by Cao's soldiers at any time, cutting off the retreat of the entire Jiangdong Army; the entire Sun family's foundation and family members, as well as hundreds of thousands of people in Jiangdong, will all be lost in Cao's warships and No sleep under the iron hoof.
Zhuge Liang watched Sun Quan pace around anxiously, shook his feather fan and glanced at Lu Meng and Mengxue lightly. The eldest sister doesn't seem to hate Lu Meng, but she seems to have endless things to say.
At this time Ruoxue and Gan Ning came towards them. Ling Tong reached out to stop them, but Gan Ning knocked him away. Lu Su quickly grabbed Gan Ning and said, "General Ling Tong means well. The military advisor and General Zhongmou are talking about business, so don't come near them." Ling Tong was caught off guard just now. He turned around and glared at Gan Ning angrily. If Lu Su hadn't been in the middle, the two of them would have drawn their fists at each other. Ling Tong said in a deep voice: "General Gan has great skills. If there is an opportunity in the future, I must learn from him."
Just as Gan Ning was about to retort, Ruoxue pinched his ears and said, "Now is the Sun Long Alliance, please don't fight and kill at every turn." Gan Ning saw that Ruoxue was angry, so he quickly turned to Lu Su and said, "Master Zijing, When will the war begin?”
Lu Su shook his head and said: "Hurry up. I have never seen anyone looking forward to a war like General Gan." As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Quan's voice suddenly came: "Xiaoxue is here? Come here quickly. Public achievements! Please come over, everyone!”
In an instant, the corner of the Yellow Crane Tower near the Yangtze River was filled with high-ranking officials and special envoys from both armies, and of course the two beauties Mengxue and Ruoxue. Sun Quan said without hesitation: "Everyone, Zhuge Military Advisor and I have agreed that we will rush to Lujiang tomorrow to meet Brother Bo Fu and Governor Gong Jin." Ruoxue heard about it and cheered: "Great, we will go there tomorrow. Can we meet Sister Erqiao?"
Sun Quan said in astonishment: "Who said you can go together? It's too dangerous there, so I, Kong Ming, Zijing and others went there." Seeing Xiaoxue's disappointed face, he quickly said kindly: "Xiaoxue, didn't I promise you? Really? I will let my eldest brother give the order to move all Qiao’s hometown back first, and then we can meet at the Sheshan Military Port."
At this moment, Lu Meng's voice suddenly sounded, which was quite unexpected: "General Sun, I just promised Sister Daxue to take them across the river to Qiao's hometown. Qiao's hometown is near the ferry, far away from the battlefield. I I will personally lead troops to protect her. Once General Bofu agrees, it will be fine to move back here with the Erqiao sisters. General, let the sisters go to Lujiang together."
