Lu Xun's expression remained unchanged: "Believe it or not, this is the truth."
Seeing that Lu Xun was still pretending to be dumbfounded, Lan Tian frowned and said sarcastically: "I think it's not Jiangdong who lost his ship, but Jiangdong and your lord Sun Quan who lost their integrity."
"Lan Ziyu, you have repeatedly teased your allies, do you think I, Jiangdong, are really easy to mess with?" Lu Xun's expression suddenly changed.
Lan Tian looked up to the sky and laughed: "You took advantage of General Guan's Northern Expedition and the fierce battle in Fancheng to sneak attack on Jingzhou. Sun Quan sent more than just your group, right?"
"What do you mean?" Lu Xun pretended to be calm.
Lan Tian stroked his beard and analyzed: "Let me think about it, the governor is stationed at the mouth of Dongting, it should be to prevent my support, right? Block the reinforcements from Jingnan and Jiaozhou, and cut off General Guan's food route, Hanshui and Jiangling should also He’s gone, I wonder if this was your idea or Lu Meng’s?”
Lu Xun was horrified when he heard that Lan Tian guessed that the four-pronged army proposed by Lu Meng would be three-pronged, but he remained calm and pretended not to know.
"What do you mean by General Lan's nonsense? Do you really want to destroy the Sun-Liu alliance?" Lu Xun frowned.
"There is no need to pretend, Commander-in-Chief. All those surrendered soldiers have been accounted for. What if you take Nanjun? Yizhou and Jingnan sent troops at the same time. Can such a long front be defended? Hefei in the east has not yet been captured. Don't go too high. You're overestimating yourself." Lan Tian sneered.
The consequences mentioned by Lan Tian were discussed in detail by Lu Xun and Lu Meng. If he successfully occupied Nanjun and wanted to prevent Liu Bei from counterattacking, he could only deploy the Jiangdong navy to set up defenses on the Yangtze River to prevent the troops from Yizhou, Jingnan and Jiaozhou from passing by. He ordered the generals on the land route Just hold on to the dangerous pass.
If Guan Yu's main force in Jingzhou can be eliminated, and Cao Cao puts pressure on Hanzhong from Yongliang, Sun Quan, the Jingzhou herder, will be secure.
"Hmph, there's no point in talking more." Lu Xun couldn't help but prepared to leave.
Lan Tian stopped him in time and said, "Grand Governor, think about it carefully. There is no end to the sea of suffering and there is no end. I will give you one day to evacuate from here, otherwise those mountains will be your fate."
"I don't know what it means. Anyway, I'm going to keep waiting. If you want to destroy the Sun-Liu alliance, come and seize the camp." After Lu Xun said that, he turned around and left.
"Stop being stubborn, Lu Meng and the others may not be able to succeed..."
After Lan Tian finished speaking loudly, Lu Xun's heart trembled, and he sighed that this mysterious owl was so powerful. It confused him with just a few words. How could Jiang Dong's clever arrangement fail?
After Lu Xun returned to the camp, he immediately declared full alert. No one was allowed to leave the camp to fight without his order.
Lan Tian understood that the hard nut in front of him was not easy to crack, so he asked Gao Shun to set up camp two miles to the east, and then gathered everyone to discuss how to defeat the enemy.
Zhang Fei muttered: "Ziyu, why did you talk so much just now? Gao Boping's enemy troops are so powerful, so they should rush over and seize Lu Xun's camp."
Fazheng shook his head when he heard this, "I just observed from behind the formation. Lu Xun's camp layout is very well-planned. If the troops trapped in the formation are allowed to attack by force, the damage will be too great. Moreover, his dry stronghold is connected to the water stronghold. If he really can't defend it, he can still retreat." If we go to Dongting Lake, we still can’t cross the river.”
"Then what should we do? You and Ziyu have a bright mind and must find a way to solve it quickly." Zhang Fei urged.
"Military advisor, what do you think?" Lan Tian asked.
Fa Zheng twirled his beard and frowned as he replied: "According to Shan Yue's confession, Lu Xun has nearly 30,000 land and sea troops. We, including General Li Yi, have less than 20,000 water troops. We must lure them out."
"Then send someone to insult him. This is how I dealt with him before." Zhang Fei suggested.
Lan Tianxin said that the opponent you provoked might not be able to compare with the Lu Xun in front of him, but before running out of solutions, he still told Pang De: "Ling Ming, starting from tomorrow, you will fight sooner or later, even if the opponent Without sending troops, it would be good to be able to kill a few generals in formation."
"Wei." Pang De stood up and clasped his fists.
The outcome of Pang De's battle was just as Lan Tian had expected. The camp in Jiangdong was as silent as death. Although the soldiers were ready, no one paid attention to the shouts and curses outside the camp. Except for Lu Xun's strict order not to go to battle, no generals dared to Go and fight Pound.
After two consecutive days of yelling and scolding, Lan Tian and Fazheng decided to lure the snake out of its hole. They deliberately let people drive grain trucks passing by from the south, actively exposing their weaknesses to Lu Xun's eyes, but the other party seemed not to notice and remained unmoved.
The two armies were facing off for four days. Zhang Fei was a little impatient. He said angrily: "I think Ling Ming's scolding doesn't work. Ziyu, why don't you let me try?"
"You? Ling Ming and the others don't dare to fight, and they don't even dare to know your name." Lan Tian smiled bitterly.
Just when Zhang Fei was about to refute, Gao Shun walked into the tent and reported to Lan Tian: "Sir, Lao Xu's tens of thousands of new soldiers have arrived."
"Very good, let them settle down first. If that doesn't work, we can only attack by force." Lan Tian replied with a frown.
Fazheng suddenly had an inspiration. He stood up and said: "The troops trapped in the formation are famous and have wiped out five thousand mountains and rivers. Therefore, Lu Xun will not go into battle easily. If the new soldiers are displayed in front of the formation, the opponent may come out to test them. Can we How many are eliminated?"
"The military advisor is right, leave it to me to scold the formation this time. I have more experience than Lingming." Zhang Fei asked for help again.
Lan Tian nodded, turned to Gao Shun and said, "Let General Xu cooperate with Yide to invite the battle."
"Wei." Gao Shun clasped his fists.
"Ling Ming, prepare your cavalry immediately and be ready to respond to Yide at any time." Lan Tian continued to give instructions.
"Wei." Pound responded sonorously.
After receiving the order, Xu Shuang settled most of the soldiers in the camp and sent two thousand old and weak men to form the formation as requested by Zhang Fei.
Although Lu Xun held firm in the camp, he still sent out scouts to gather information. The news on the other side made him look heavy, and he thought that Lantian was indeed determined to win.
"General, that black guy is fighting outside the camp, and there are a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people behind him. I can't help but come out of the camp to fight." Wu Qi hurried over to report.
"Really want to go?" Lu Xun asked.
"Well... the general should send a strong general. Samoko is quite strong. I'm worried that I won't be able to defeat him..." Wu Qi lowered his head and gave up instantly.
"Let the general give it a try so that he can avenge General Huang." Xie Jing cupped his fists and asked for help.
"I'll wait until I get out of the account to check." Lu Xun was noncommittal.
Several generals followed Lu Xun to the camp gate. They saw Zhang Fei and his entourage still yelling and cursing, and behind them were the two thousand "old, weak, sick and disabled" recruits.
"These soldiers outside the camp are in the sky and the ground with the trapped troops. It seems that they have never experienced war. Lantian sent these new soldiers to invite them to fight. They are really bullying me. I have to let him have a longer memory." Lu Xun frowned.
"General, could it be Lan Tian who was tricking someone?" Cheng Zi asked doubtfully.
Lu Xun shook his head and waved, "The camps of both sides are only two miles apart. It's clear whether the other side has an ambush. Thank you, General, for leaving the camp first to fight. While he is fighting Samoko, General Cheng has dispatched three thousand elites to ambush here secretly. Once General Xie wins, he will take advantage of the situation and kill him. If Lantian sends troops to rescue him, he must return it in time. In short, how many people can be killed, have you all written it down?"
"Wei." Cheng Zi and Xie Jing replied in unison.
