While Lu Su was shocked, Lu Meng in the room still had doubts: "I went to Dongguan yesterday to observe in person. Cao's army on the west bank of Ruxu River may have numbered 100,000. Gan Ning, even if he is brave, will die. This person surrendered to Liu Bei. If it doesn't last long, you will die, but Guan Ping is Guan Yu's eldest son. If he is defeated here, how can he explain to him?"
Then Sun Quan's laughter came: "Ziming, you are so confused. If Guan Ping is killed in the hands of Cao thieves, Guan Yunchang will definitely work hard to attack the Central Plains. If the situation is declining, Cao thieves can still care about us?"
Lu Meng said worriedly: "Gan Ning and the others are not stupid. You must know that with such a large number of Cao's troops, they will never participate in the war..."
Sun Quan meaningfully explained: "Why let Jiangxia face Cao Cao alone? We can form a coalition to coordinate the landing operation and place the Jiangxia army in the forward position. If even they can't defeat the Cao Cao thieves, it would be wise for us to retreat in time. , I will personally write to Liu Xuande later to explain."
Lu Meng complimented: "I used Gan Ning to test the strength of Cao Cao's army, eliminate the impact of the recent avoidance of war on the morale of our army, remove Liu Xuande as a general, avenge the public achievement, and make Guan Yu hate Cao Cao. My lord, you are killing two birds with one stone." This is a great plan..."
Sun Quan sneered: "Haha, Ziming, don't forget that my name is Zhongmou..."
Lu Meng continued to ask: "But how can we get Gan Ning to join the battle? We can't order him directly."
Sun Quan replied: "I already have a messenger in my mind. As long as he is famous enough, behaves harmlessly, and even has some humility, Gan Ning will definitely fall into the trap."
Lu Meng suddenly realized: "You mean..."
Sun Quan: "I'll call him here tomorrow morning."
Lu Meng: "But he is committed to the Sun-Liu Alliance, so he will definitely not agree to do this..."
Sun Quan: "As long as you and I don't tell the truth, we will wait until Gan Ning gets into the trap and then tell the truth."
Lu Meng: "My lord is wise, do you still want to eat this dinner?"
Sun Quan: "Eat, I have a great appetite now."
Lu Su outside the door felt his scalp numb. While other things were being discussed in the house, he quietly left Sun Quan's house. It seemed that the conversation with Cao Cao had affected his lord. Perhaps he could not forget the shame of Baiqi's robbery of the camp, but no matter what Trapping Gan Ning or Guan Ping will have a bad impact on the Sun-Liu alliance.
Lu Su hoped that the person Sun Quan was talking about was not him. Unfortunately, as soon as he woke up the next day, a waiter knocked on his door.
Sun Quan invites you.
Sun Quan summoned the ministers at Ruxuwu to discuss strategies. When Lu Su arrived, he found that Lu Meng, Ling Tong, Jiang Qin, Zhang Zhao had already arrived, as well as Chen Wu, who had come from Jianye to replace Cheng Pu.
Lu Su noticed that Sun Quan looked good today. When he sat down, Sun Quan asked: "We have been at a stalemate with Cao Cao for nearly two months. It is unwise to compete with Cao Cao for national power with the output of one county in Yangzhou. We still have to find a way to retreat from the enemy. I don't know. Does the Grand Governor have any clever ideas?"
"Cao Cao is now fighting together on land and water, and their troops are three times larger than mine. It is really difficult to defeat them head-on. For now, it is best to stick to it..." Lu Su shook his head. This time tia Nla iX * Zhang Si
Sun Quan held his tongue slightly: "I know that's the case, but the morale of the entire army has been low recently, so we have to go out and compete, otherwise the morale and morale of the army will be lost. Cao Cao attacks regardless of the cost, and Ruxuwu may not be able to defend it."
Lu Su knew that Sun Quan was laying the groundwork and thought that what was supposed to come would come, so he smiled and did not answer.
"Zijing once said that Jiangxia's naval forces are well-trained, and their commander Gan Ning is a brave man. They have been stationed here for more than a month. Why not invite them to fight with us?" Sun Quan suggested.
"What a brave man, I am the first to refuse to accept it." Before Lu Su could answer, Ling Tong was the first to jump out.
Seeing this, Lu Meng hurriedly reminded: "The Lord is discussing military and political affairs, please don't talk nonsense."
Ling Tong was more convinced by Lu Meng now. He wanted to say a few more words but saw Sun Quan's face turned pale, so he retreated to his seat and stopped talking.
"I'll just make a trip to Zijing and bring the Jiangxia warship back to the dock." Sun Quan ordered with a smile.
"Uh...I'll go right away." Lu Su was slightly startled, then returned the favor and stood up to leave.
Watching Lu Su's leaving figure, Sun Quan tapped the desk gently and thought deeply. He didn't know if this honest man's appearance could "invite" Gan Ning back.
Chen Wu suddenly raised his hand and said: "My lord, why do we need external force to defeat Cao's army? Yesterday I escorted the grain ship passing by. Jiangxia's navy only had three to four thousand men. It is impossible to influence the situation of the battle."
"Zi Lie (Chen Wu) cannot underestimate the enemy. Jiangxia soldiers and horses are trained by Guan Yunchang. Although there are only four thousand people, they cannot be underestimated." Sun Quan said casually.
"My lord, if you want to defeat Cao Cao's army, you only need to wait for some time. In two months, the spring rain will fall and the water in Chao Lake will rise. Cao Cao's camp will be submerged, and hundreds of thousands of Cao Cao's troops will be nothing more than fish and shrimps." Chen Wu said loudly.
Sun Quan was pleasantly surprised and asked, "Is what Zilie said true?"
"The last generals dare not deceive each other." Chen Wu replied sonorously.
At this time, Zhang Zhao stood up and said: "Zi Lie is from Lujiang. He is particularly familiar with the geographical environment of this area. My lord can rest assured."
Chen Wu added: "My lord, you can see the clues when you stand in Dongguan and look out. Both sides of the Ruxu River are fertile fields, but why are there no people planting rice here? That's because the lake water surges in spring and all the farmland will be submerged... "
Sun Quan nodded immediately, stroking his purple beard and leaning back. This is the best news he has heard recently. If he can deceive the Jiangxia reinforcements and defeat Cao Cao, what a perfect ending. Now we are waiting for Lu Su Good news.
Lu Su went to see Gan Ning with a heavy heart. He was speechless about Sun Quan's reckless decision.
The weather was finally sunny, and the station of Jiangxia Navy remained as before. Guan Ping was training troops, Fu Shiren was fishing, and Gan Ning was still practicing Wuqinxi.
Lu Su landed on the shore and walked straight to Gan Ning. After the two sides greeted each other, Lu Su looked around and said carefully: "General Gan is really at ease. Can you take a step to speak?"
Although Gan Ning was confused, he still walked a few feet away from the shore with Lu Su.
"What are the orders from the Grand Governor?" Gan Ning asked curiously.
Lu Su struggled for a long time, and finally said with difficulty: "General Gan has been here to help for nearly two months, but unfortunately he has not yet been able to fight Cao Cao. Do you feel disappointed?"
"Disappointed? No. After all, you also know that there are not many troops..." Gan Ning smiled and shook his head.
"If this continues, what are General Gan's plans?" Lu Su asked.
"To be honest, if there is no war, I am preparing to resign to Sun Cheqi. There are still things to deal with in Jingzhou..." Gan Ning didn't know the purpose of Lu Su's question, but he still expressed his thoughts.
After hearing this, Lu Su was actually a little happy. He asked doubtfully: "I wonder if there is anything urgent in Jingzhou?"
Gan Ning answered truthfully: "My lord is currently trapped in Yizhou. The military advisor decided to send troops to Xichuan next month last year. Now that February is approaching, I have to go back to help count the army rations and supplies..." Zhi Da Zhi Xiao
Lu Suzhi nodded, "The security of Xuande Public Security Bureau is very important. General Gan can return to Jingzhou as soon as possible. The confrontation between us should continue..."
"Uh... should I leave now?" Gan Ning asked again.
Lu Su cupped his hands and affirmed: "Well, Su will report back to the lord immediately. General, have a good trip."
