"What's Ziming's clever plan?" Sun Quan looked at Lu Meng meaningfully after saying this, thinking that there must be a way to deal with what you said.
Lu Meng asked, "How do you want to divide Jingzhou, my lord?"
Sun Quan stroked his purple beard and hesitated, "Well... naturally it would be better to share more... rich places like Nanjun and Changsha..."
"Ahem, do you want to know what the lord wants? I'm afraid this is difficult. Even if Liu Xuande can agree, Guan Yu and the others will not obey the order..." Lu Mengxin said that this appetite was too much.
Sun Quan smiled awkwardly: "What suggestions does Ziming have? Otherwise, we need to go to Nanjun, Jiangxia, Changsha, and Wuling first? Then we can occupy the entire Yangtze River."
Lu Meng frowned and said: "The main force in Jingzhou is concentrated in the hands of Guan Yu in Jiangling. Even a sneak attack is difficult to succeed, but it is easy to take Jiangxia. In addition, according to the Yangtze River News, the four counties in Jingnan are now relatively wealthy, and Guiyang County has There is a considerable amount of mineral deposits. It is better to find a way to get Jiangxia, Changsha, Guiyang, and Lingling. We can just use the Xiang River to delimit Liu Xuande."
Sun Quan nodded solemnly, "The Yangtze River Newspaper painted Jingnan like a painting, and we don't know what the real situation is. It's just our wishful thinking. Neither Liu Bei nor Guan Yu can agree, right?"
"It is rumored that Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang entered Sichuan one after another and took away most of Jingzhou's troops. Now there are only a small number of troops stationed in Jingzhou, especially in each county in Jingnan. There are only three to four thousand people. As long as we can send troops to capture it with thunderous momentum, Liu Bei will not Even if you don't want to, unless you break up with us and attack, Cao Cao in the north will not miss this opportunity, and he may not be able to keep his newly acquired Yizhou." Lu Meng sneered.
Sun Quan leaned back and said happily: "Ziming makes it clearer. How do we send troops with thunder? Guan Yu's attack power cannot be underestimated."
Lu Meng walked to the map hanging in the commander's tent, first pointed at Jiangxia, an important town in the east of Jingzhou, and said: "Fu Shiren has been very close to the lord recently. If we use the false plan to attack Guo, we can easily capture Jiangxia. Then I, the warship from Jiangdong, Shuo Chang, will attack Jiangxi to attack the public security forces." , if Guan Yu discovers it, they will stand near the police station; if they are not discovered, they will seize the police station and go straight to Jiangling."
"Ziming, please wait a moment. Didn't you say we were going to take Changsha, Guiyang, and Lingling? Why do you want to go to Jiangling to provoke Guan Yu?" Sun Quan asked curiously.
Lu Meng smiled and said: "The purpose of attacking Jiangling is to attract Guan Yu's attention. My lord can send land troops and horses out of Jianchang and Haihun, take Changsha first and then attack Guiyang and Lingling. By then Guan Yu will not be able to look at both ends. Maybe Even Wuling can be included in it.”
Sun Quan was stunned for a long time, and then said happily: "It's true that I asked you to study more. This strategy of attacking the east and attacking the west is really well used. Ziming will definitely surpass Zhou Gongjin in the future and become our number one general in Jiangdong."
"Thank you, my lord." Lu Meng clasped his fists in thanks.
Sun Quan suddenly frowned again, "Changsha and Guiyang are no problem, but the prefect of Lingling is the shameless Lantian. Gao Shun's army is in his hands. It will not be easy to capture Lingling..."
Lu Meng believed that he had a chance to win, and said nonchalantly: "How many years has it been since Lu Bu's death? The fall into the camp should be touted. Why don't my lord send people to Jiaozhou and ask Ziheng and Ziqi to send troops to Guiyang? Haopu's defenders are too The young master will definitely ask Lingling for help..."
"Tune the tiger away from the mountain? I'm very pleased that Ziming can focus on the overall situation." Sun Quan couldn't hide his joy.
"My lord has taught me well. This matter must be deployed as soon as possible before it changes. It must be kept secret, otherwise the governor..." Lu Meng reminded.
Sun Quan nodded, "How about you hurry up and prepare for Jiangxia? I will send people to Jiaozhou and ask them to send troops in March?"
Lü Meng calculated that there was still a month to go, which would be enough time to deliver the message on the road. He said goodbye to Sun Quan and went to Ling Tong's camp.
Jiangdong generals prepared supplies and warships. By the end of January, Sun Quan had not yet sent troops. Lu Su thought to himself, "Soldiers are so valuable and so fast. Why bother?"
"Lord, now that the warships are ready and the armor is sufficient, when should we cross the river to attack Wancheng?" Lu Su went to Sun Quan and asked for instructions.
Sun Quan knew that Lu Su was coming, and he saw him leaning on the table, rubbing his forehead with one hand, and said with some pain: "It's still winter, and I'm already infected with the wind and cold. I'd better put the health of the soldiers first, and wait until the spring comes and the flowers bloom." It’s not too late to start again.”
"Lord, we have been gathering for a few days, why are you just waiting like this?" Lu Su thought to himself that if it were any later, everyone would have to harvest rice.
Sun Quan nodded and said: "Zijing is training his soldiers now. Only when he goes to the battlefield can he be invincible."
"only."
Lu Su did not have as independent military power as Zhou Yu. He had to get Sun Quan's consent to lead troops on an expedition, so he could only obey Sun Quan's orders at this time.
One morning in early March, Lu Su was inspecting the dock and found that hundreds of warships were missing. Thousands of soldiers under Lu Meng and Ling Tong were also missing. The scout at the dock told them to sail to the west. Lu Su urgently He rushed to the city to meet Sun Quan.
"My lord, the camps of Ziming and Gongji are empty, and there are hundreds of warships missing on the dock. They did not report their whereabouts to me. Now they are going to Jingzhou privately. Did something happen?" Lu Su asked doubtfully. .
Sun Quan nodded slightly, "There is news from Jingzhou in the west. Cao's army in Xiangyang seems to have made some changes, so I asked Ziming and Gongji to find out the news."
Fu Shiren had been at war with Jiangdong in recent months because of the Yangtze River News. Lu Su immediately guessed the source of the news was Jiangxia, and then asked doubtfully: "But while Cao Jun's attention is on Jingzhou, we will immediately send troops to capture Wancheng, and then we can It’s not too late to rescue General Guan.”
"Zijing goes and prepares. We will send out troops in the next two days." Sun Quan waved his hand and said.
"Wei." Lu Su nodded in agreement. He didn't understand why Sun Quan sent two generals out to find out the news when a war was about to begin.
Lu Meng and Ling led their troops to the west. One day later, the warship docked at Jiangxia Pier and proactively notified Fu Shiren to come and work for the army.
Because of the Yangtze River News, Fu Shiren had a harmonious relationship with Jiang Dong, so he went to the dock with wine and meat to express his condolences. When he arrived, Lu Meng and Ling Tong had already disembarked and were waiting at the Linjiang Pavilion where Guan Yu, Lu Su and Lantian gathered in the past.
Guan Yu asked Fu Shiren to guard Jiangxia, and he could mobilize warships and report to Jiangling in time. Lu Meng didn't have many warships at this time, so Fu Shiren didn't take it to heart.
Fu Shiren followed Guan Yu's example and hosted a banquet for Lu Meng in Linjiang Pavilion. He set the table with Jiangxia's fine wines and dishes, and recalled that Lu Su had also been here.
After a few glasses of wine, Fu Shiren asked curiously: "Where is General Lu going?"
"I have nothing to do and I am sailing around. I heard that Cao Ren in Xiangyang has made some changes. I plan to use the Han River to find out." Lu Meng replied.
Fu Shiren said with a smile: "General Lu must have wrong information. General Guan has a patrol boat in the Han River and has not heard of any trouble in Xiangyang."
"My lord has a destiny and cannot control himself." Lu Meng gestured to Ling Tong to propose a toast as he spoke.
