The wars are raging in every state in the world, and bloody battles are breaking out in Jizhou, Jingzhou, and Yangzhou.
Cao Cao in Jizhou fought to the death with Yuan Shao, and Liu Zhang in Jingzhou fought with Xu Shu in a battle of wits and courage.
Only Yangzhou seems a bit out of place at the moment.
As a large county connecting Yangzhou and Jingzhou, Yuzhang County covers a vast area and has a huge population base.
After being captured by Liu Bei in a surprise attack, Sun Quan immediately organized military forces to conquer.
Under the operation of the Jiangdong family, the position of commander of the army in the western expedition to Yuzhang County successfully fell to the Lu family.
However, Lu Xun, as the president and commander of the attacking side. The performance during this period can only be described as mediocre.
Although the troops marched in three directions in advance, the extension of the war was always limited to the city of Chaisang.
It has to be suspected that Lu Xun did not seem to have as strong a desire to take back Yuzhang County as Sun Quan did.
Is this really the case?
the answer is negative!
Ever since the news of Lu Xun's dispatch of troops came, Liu Bei's army had to shrink its troops.
Zhuge Liang moved his troops and horses as far away from rivers and lakes as possible, and forcibly dragged Jiangdong's troops and horses to land to fight for them. The advantage of Jiangdong's navy was limited to the greatest extent.
Seeing this, Lu Xun was not in a hurry to compete with Liu Bei's army for the ownership of the city, and deployed most of his troops on the Gan River in Yuzhang County.
Due to the geographical characteristics of Yuzhang County, Yichun and Xingan occupied by Liu Bei's army, including Nanchang where Liu Bei was personally stationed, were always under threat from Lu Xun's troops.
Chaisang is an important town on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and Liu Bei sent his first general Guan Yu to personally garrison it.
In order to show respect, Lu Xun personally commanded the troops to siege.
In the entire Yuzhang County, only Haihun, where Zhuge Liang was stationed, was calm because it was close to the mountains and far away from the river.
Lu Xun's methods were extremely clever, but the results achieved were minimal.
It has been more than two months since the war started. Except for the city that Liu Beijun voluntarily abandoned, Jiangdong soldiers and horses have not captured a single city!
Even Chaisang, who Lu Xun besieged personally, made no progress because his soldiers were too mixed.
The battle for Chaisang sounds like a fight, but in fact it is a confrontation.
Lu Xun set up a very secure camp and stationed himself next to Chaisang City.
The strength of this camp is completely staggering. Those who didn't know it thought it was Lu Xun resisting Guan Yu's attack!
Even Lu Xun, Liu Beijun's food convoy, ignored him!
The grain truck was transported casually into Chaisang City, but Lu Xun ignored it at all.
All I have to do is shout to Guan Yu, and I, Lu Xun, will lose after just one glance!
Actions with offensive intentions such as siege and siege would not appear in Lu Xun's plan.
Lu Xun has made it clear to Liu Bei that Zhuge Liang wants me to attack the city, and wants me to use my own shortcomings to attack your strong points, but there is no way!
I will station my troops at the edge of the city and keep an eye on you!
As long as you don't attack me, you can do whatever you want.
I'll just spend it with you, let's see who of us can outshine the other!
At present, not only Chaisang in the entire Yuzhang County, but all cities except Haihun are treated in this way.
Jiangdong's 50,000-strong army deeply implements the thoughts of Commander-in-Chief Lu Xun, let's live in peace!
Liu Bei was naturally extremely disdainful of Lu Xun at first, thinking that there was no one left in Jiangdong, so he actually used this young scholar as his commander.
Later, after Lu Xun made a posture of not attacking at all, Liu Bei's nostrils turned up in triumph.
He declared in public that Lu Xun was afraid of Liu Bei's reputation and was too frightened to fight against the Jingzhou army!
As the attacker, Lu Xun was not in a hurry, and Liu Bei was even less anxious.
Playing music and dancing all day long, admiring the beauties of Yangzhou, it was so beautiful!
But this happiness only lasted for a month. By the second month, Liu Bei immediately began to become irritable.
All waterways were occupied by Lu Xun, so Liu Beijun had to cross mountains and ridges if he wanted to transport food!
It's just that the grain road is rugged and difficult to navigate, and it is always threatened by the Jiangdong navy in the river.
If it weren't for the huge amount of food in Yuzhang County itself, Liu Bei's army would have been in danger of running out of food!
Now Liu Bei completely understood Lu Xun's intention. They were not afraid of him, but wanted to consume him alive!
This was a naked conspiracy that Liu Bei could not resolve.
The cities occupied by Liu Bei's army in Yuzhang County are as stable as Mount Tai, and there is no risk of being breached, but they look like people are panicking.
Liu Bei spent the whole day worrying about logistical supplies. He couldn't think about food or tea, and he couldn't sleep every night.
I even lost interest in my favorite music, dancing.
As a last resort, Liu Bei could only transfer back Zhuge Liang, the commander-in-chief of Haihun, who posed no threat.
After seeing Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei immediately stepped forward, held his hands tightly, and began to pour out his grievances.
"Kong Ming, you're here, I've been having trouble sleeping and eating these days!"
Zhuge Liang could also tell from Liu Bei's thin face that this was not a lie.
"My lord, I never thought that Lu Xun would be so troublesome..."
Zhuge Liang was talented and had a high level of ambition, so he didn't pay much attention to Lu Xun, who was still two years younger than him.
Especially after ambushing Pang Tong, it was inevitable that he would underestimate the world's talents.
This time Lu Xun appeared out of nowhere and his naked conspiracy also opened Zhuge Liang's eyes.
Koto is not all trash!
"Kong Ming, if we continue to waste time like this, I'm afraid the situation will not be conducive to us..."
Zhuge Liang's eyes were deep and he didn't answer Liu Bei's words, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Not only is it disadvantageous now, it seems that Lu Xun is about to be forced into a desperate situation!
Seeing that Zhuge Liang did not answer, Liu Bei already knew that he had no solution.
However, this situation does not have to be solved without any solution.
If this continues, I'm afraid I'm going to die in Yuzhang!
"Kong Ming, how do you want to handle this matter?"
Zhuge Liang was the military advisor and the mastermind, so Liu Bei could only ask Zhuge Liang for advice.
"Lord, please think about it..."
Zhuge Liang couldn't bluntly say that he had no solution, he had to think about it if he couldn't figure it out!
Everything in this sneak attack on Yuzhang County was within Zhuge Liang's expectations, except for the variable Lu Xun.
Zhuge Liang knew that Sun Quan would definitely send people to rob the city, but he didn't expect to send such a person!
Lu Xun's performance this time was too brilliant. He was so brilliant that even Zhuge Liang was helpless.
While constantly amplifying our own advantages, we are also constantly tearing apart the enemy's disadvantages.
Step by step, seize all the advantages in your hands and push the enemy into a desperate situation!
