Yizhou, Nanzheng!
Boom!
Thunder rolled and rain poured down.
Summer rains come and go quickly. In the past few days, thunderstorms have occurred from time to time, taking away the scorching heat, and then quickly clearing up. It’s just that the sun was very scorching after the rain, and it got hot again in an instant.
The good thing is that the thunderstorms come and go, and the temperature drops from time to time, making it bearable.
The only thing that made Lu Xuan regretful was that heavy rain fell from time to time, which did not cause much hidden danger. However, the climate was unstable, which prevented the hot air balloon from taking off and flying into Nanzheng City.
In the military camp, the Chinese army has a large tent.
Lu Xuan and Fa are playing Go.
Lu Xuan's chess skills were not good, but he was very addicted to playing chess. After searching around, he only found Fazheng to play chess with. While the two were playing chess, Gan Ning entered the camp and reported: "Your Majesty."
Lu Xuan looked at the unfavorable chess game and randomly dropped a chess piece. Then he looked at Gan Ning and asked, "What's wrong with Xingba?"
Gan Ning replied: "We already have a hundred hot-air balloons including those we made before. But at this point, we don't have any more materials."
Lu Xuan said: "One hundred hot-air balloons are quite a lot, enough to carry a thousand people. Since there are not enough materials, we will not make hot-air balloons for the time being. We will deploy a thousand people to get familiar with the hot-air balloons and check the situation at the same time to avoid mistakes."
"Here!"
Gan Ning answered with cupped fists.
At least, no more hot air balloons.
Although this is a powerful tool for making meritorious deeds, it is a waste of energy for a man to do this.
Gan Ning changed the topic and said: "Your Majesty, we have surrounded Nanzheng for a while. Although Zhang Lu kept announcing to the people of Hanzhong and calling on the people of Hanzhong to submit to Wu, the hearts of the people turned to us. However, Nanzheng was never captured. , it would be better for the general to lead a surprise attack on a rainy night and try to get into the city."
Lu Xuan shook his head and smiled, and said: "It has rained continuously recently, and the moat in Nanzheng has swollen and the water flow is fierce. If we attack at this time, the soldiers will suffer great losses. Such losses are completely uneconomical."
"Moreover, we have a strategy to defeat Nanzheng, and we have enough food and grass, so there is no need to rush into action. On the contrary, Cao Cao is trapped in Nanzheng and is desperate. I want to see who can defeat whom?"
Gan Ning nodded reluctantly and said nothing more.
Xu Chu entered at this time and reported: "Your Majesty, the Governor of Zhou Dynasty is reporting urgently."
"Bring it here quickly."
Lu Xuan glanced at the decayed chessboard situation, stretched out his hand, stopped playing chess, and took the letter from Xu Chu's hand with a smile to read.
Fazheng looked at him with resentment, as if he were his own king.
Every time the king plays chess with him, once something happens, he will erase the unfavorable chess game.
Lu Xuan looked down ten lines at a time, and quickly finished reading them all. His eyes were filled with excitement, and he praised: "As expected of Gong Jin, if he doesn't move, he will stop, and if he moves like thunder."
Gan Ning asked: "Did the Governor win?"
Lu Xuan explained: "Gong Jin united with Tai Shi Ci who was guarding Jingzhou, and asked Gao Shun to lead troops to Pei State. Tai Shi Ci invaded Yingchuan County, captured Fucheng, Jiaxian and other places, and was about to capture Yingchuan. The administrative seat is Yangzhai County."
"Gao Shun, on the other hand, led troops to attack Liang State and almost captured Liang State."
"The two armies worked together to sandwich Xiahou Dun of Chen State in the middle. Zhou Yu attacked decisively and defeated Xiahou Dun who was guarding Chen County. Now he is heading north to Chen State and almost captured Chen State."
"Xiahou Dun has retreated to Chenliu. Zhou Yu has joined forces with Gao Shun and Taishi Ci. The next goal is Chenliu, Dongjun and Jiyin counties to completely cut off the connection between Guanzhong and eastern Yanzhou."
"Gong Jin's final goal is to annex the entire Yanzhou. I am worthy of being the governor of Zhou. He has great courage and great plans. He will show off his power in one battle and destroy Cao Cao's home base of Yanzhou."
Lu Xuan made no secret of his admiration for Zhou Yu.
Compared with Yan Xiang in Jingzhou and Kuai Liang in Xuzhou, Zhou Yu in Yuzhou was in the most difficult situation.
Jingzhou is stable and Xuzhou is prosperous. However, Yuzhou is neither stable nor prosperous and is a desolate place. In just a few years in Yuzhou, Zhou Yu developed Yuzhou abruptly. The population increased year by year, and the place became more stable and prosperous year by year.
After Zhou Yu wiped out the bandits in Yuzhou, he further penetrated into the north and continued to make plans.
Everything is due to Zhou Yu.
Now Zhou Yu took action and regained the lost Chen and Liang states in Yuzhou, plus he had control of Yingchuan. When Zhou Yu and Taishi Ci captured Yanzhou, the pattern and territory of the world would further change.
After Gan Ning heard this, he was extremely excited and said quickly: "Your Majesty, the news of the Governor's victory will definitely have a great impact on Cao Cao. Let's just mobilize troops and attack Nanzheng. Although we don't need hot air balloons, it will be enough. win."
Lu Xuan still shook his head and said: "Boiling a frog in warm water will kill Cao Cao's fighting spirit little by little, so that Cao Cao can be completely defeated. Now we will suffer the greatest loss by attacking by force, which is not cost-effective. When the heavy rain stops, I will go to Nanzheng City and attack Tell Cao Cao this good news."
Thinking that Cao Cao had heard the bad news again and was worried about Yanzhou, Lu Xuan was looking forward to it in his heart.
Gan Ning agreed and turned around to get busy.
Lu Xuan and Fazheng started playing chess again. The two games were over, the thunder had disappeared, and the heavy rain had ended. Lu Xuan took Xu Chu and Fazheng, as well as the personal guards around him to protect him, and went to Nanzheng City.
It rained during this period and the roads were muddy. The horses could not run. Lu Xuan could not run fast on the horse and could only walk slowly.
When the group of people arrived outside Nanzheng City, the sky had cleared up, and the bright and dazzling sunlight was shining on the mottled Nanzheng City Towers, making Nanzheng City a little more solemn and solemn.
Lu Xuan took a breath and said loudly: "His Royal Highness King Qin, Lu Xuan is here to visit you again."
The sound reached the city tower, and the guarding soldiers quickly reported it, and the news reached Cao Cao's ears.
Cao Cao was talking to Guo Jia about the current situation. Because it was raining these days, Cao Cao was on full alert and worried about Lu Xuanshui's attack. Unexpectedly, Lu Xuan stood still and guarded the area honestly.
As a result, Cao Cao was worried for nothing.
Cao Cao stood up and said, "Feng Xiao, Lu Xuan is here again. Come with me and listen to what he has to say."
Guo Jia frowned slightly and said: "Your Majesty, I think Lu Xuan has a venomous mouth, and he can live or die even if he is dead. Why don't I go instead of Your Majesty and see what tricks Lu Xuan is going to play this time?"
Cao Cao flicked his sleeves and said confidently: "I have fought with Lu Xuan so many times, and I have long since honed my courage. I am not afraid of verbal ridicule. This time, I just want to see what he can do?"
Guo Jia advised: "Your Majesty, there is no need to go in person."
Cao Cao looked confident and said: "If I don't go, doesn't it mean that I am afraid of Lu Xuan, so I want to go. A mere Lu Xuan scares me so much that I have to avoid his edge. In such a situation, it is still How to control the court?"
Guo Jia was very worried, but couldn't persuade him, so he could only follow Cao Cao to the tower.
