Chapter 509 Design
Sun Ben defended Nanchang to the death, closed his door, and formed a corner with the East Lake camp.

The army led by Zhuge Liang was no more than 2, while Sun Ben had more than [-] troops. Although his strength was slightly inferior to Zhuge Liang's, the difference was not far behind.

Such a comparison of strength is obviously not enough for Zhuge Liang to attack Nanchang freely, and Sun Ben must be drawn out from Nanchang.

The most direct way is to attack the Donghu Bieying. After all, once the Donghu Bieying is broken, Nanchang will become an isolated city, and Sun Ben dare not not save it.

In the next two days, Zhuge Liang ordered people to go into the forest to cut wood and build attack equipment.

"Military division, Xingan county magistrate Zhou Feng, please see me." Zhuge Liang, who was discussing military affairs with Xu Shu, Yang Yi and others in the big tent, was startled slightly when he heard the report from the guards.

"Why don't Zhou Feng stay in Xingan well?" Zhuge Liang wondered in his heart.He did not break his promise to Zhou Feng, and after capturing the counties of Hanping and Xingan in the process of advancing eastward, he immediately went to Zhou Feng to try to defend the county magistrate of Xingan.

"Bring him in." Zhuge Liang said.

"promise."

Zhou Feng was led into the tent by the guards, facing Zhuge Liang who was sitting on the main seat respectfully and respectfully said: "Villain Zhou Feng, I pay my respects to the military advisor."

Zhuge Liang looked at Xu Shu and Yang Yi and smiled, and couldn't help but remind Zhou Fengdao: "Your foot is now the lord of a county. How can you call yourself a villain if you guard the border of a hundred miles for the country's herdsmen?"

"Little..." Zhou Feng hurriedly changed his words: "In the countryside, you are a vulgar person who doesn't know etiquette. The military adviser and all the lords will laugh at you."

Zhuge Liang invited Zhou Feng to sit down, and asked straight to the point: "You have abandoned the county temple, and came to see me. I don't know why?"

Zhou Feng replied: "I am entrusted with the post of county magistrate by the military division. I am very grateful. I just wish I could not follow the left and right and kill the enemy to make meritorious deeds. Knowing that the military division is dedicated to Nanchang and has no time to look east for a while, I made my own decision and sent troops to take Linru in the east. .”

"Huh?" Zhuge Liang looked slightly surprised. Linru County is located to the east of Xingan County. Because it is not on the marching route, Zhuge Liang did not send troops to occupy it.Zhou Fengkou was born as a pirate, and he was never a peaceful person. Zhuge Liang was not too surprised that he sent troops to occupy Linru privately.

"After conquering Linru, the envoy of Luling prefect Sun Fu was captured in the city, and the letter written by Sun Fu to Sun Ben was found on him." Speaking of this, Zhou Feng took the letter out of his arms and handed it to Zhuge Liang , with a look of complacency on his face.

The envoy Sun Fu was also unlucky. There are two main roads between Luling and Nanchang, passing through Xingan and Linru respectively. Envoy Sun Fu knew that Xingan had changed hands, so he changed to Linru, but he still failed to escape. doomed.

Zhuge Liang opened the letter and glanced at it, and couldn't help but laugh. He also asked why Sun Ben didn't resist and let him drive all the way to Nanchang. It turned out that he wanted Sun Fu to attack Yichun from behind and cut off his retreat.

It's a pity that no matter how smart Sun Ben's calculations were, he would never have guessed that the Jingzhou army still had a force to attack Luling from the south.

Sun Fu's letter was to tell Sun Ben that the southern part of Luling was attacked by the Jingzhou army, and the situation in Luling was very bad now. He wanted to protect himself first, and was unable to attack Yichun for the time being.

"Yuanzhi, take a look too..." Zhuge Liang handed the letter to Xu Shu beside him.

"Does the military commander want to use this letter to make a big fuss?" Xu Shu scanned it quickly, then handed the letter to Yang Yi who was seated next to him.

Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "That's right, we can pretend that Yichun was attacked, make the soldiers in the battalion clamor, and send troops back to help. Sun Ben will definitely not be able to bear it when he finds out about this, and will come out in all likelihood. Fight me."

Xu Shu nodded secretly, thinking that this strategy is feasible, and the probability of Sun Ben being fooled is extremely high.

Originally their plan was to attack the East Lake Camp to lure Sun Ben out, but although the East Lake Camp was newly built and unprepared, it was still a heavily guarded camp. In the end, it is easy to lose sight of the other.

In contrast, Zhuge Liang's strategy was much better, luring Sun Ben to take the initiative to fight.

Yang Yi also thinks this plan is feasible.

Zhuge Liang said to Xu Shu and Yang Yi, "Yuan Zhi and Wei Gong, you two are responsible for this matter."

"Promise." Xu Shu and Yang Yi got up to accept the order.

Zhuge Liang turned his eyes back to Zhou Feng, and praised: "In the next ten days, he has made great achievements. He is really a lucky general of our army. I don't think it will be long before he has a chance to be awarded the two thousand stones. Please continue." effort."

The two thousand stones that Zhuge Liang said, of course, did not refer to the captains and generals who were more than two thousand stones, but the prefect of a county.Of course, Zhuge Liang's words were just to encourage Zhou Feng, he was still far from being the prefect.

Zhou Feng believed it was true, and said with a grin: "With the auspicious words of the military master, if I can get two thousand shi, my family will definitely be among the famous surnames in Yichun."

"Encourage it." Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

After a few days of calm and calm, counting the time, it was almost time to "receive" the "news" from Yichun. Under the personal auspices of Xu Shu and Yang Yi, the soldiers of the Jingzhou Army started clamoring one after another, and all the battalions were in an uproar.

Naturally, the scouts of the Jiangdong Army noticed such a big commotion here, and the news quickly spread back to Nanchang.Sun Ben was overjoyed when he heard this, and thought to himself, "Could it be that Guoyi (Sun Fu) has sent troops to capture Yichun? Even if he hasn't captured Yichun yet, he must attack very urgently. Otherwise, why are the Chu thieves in such a panic?"

Most of Yuzhang's civil and military officials were at a loss. Sun Ben was afraid of leaking the news, which would cause the plan to fail, so he didn't tell anyone. The only people who knew about it were a few cronies around him.

Although the two are his right-hand men in governing Yuzhang, but at this critical moment, he really doesn't have the slightest confidence in them.

When Liu Yi was able to persuade Hua Xin to give up resistance and go out to meet Sun Ce, wouldn't he betray him?Xu Zong, brother of Xu Ping clan, has surrendered to Liu Jing, who knows if Xu Ping has the same thought in his heart?

These scholars who were born in the Yuzhang clan first considered the family, and then the monarch. If submitting to Liu Jing was beneficial to the family, they would not hesitate to abandon Sun Ben and fall into Liu Jing's arms at critical moments.

Sun Ben did not explain much, and called all the civil and military personnel to rush to the Songyang Gate Tower to observe the enemy's situation.

The Jingzhou military camp was stationed a few miles south of Nanchang. The distance between the two sides was quite far, and it was hard to see clearly. Fortunately, the scouts kept sending back news, and the Jingzhou military camps were in an uproar. However, the situation did not get out of control. Under the appeasement of the enemy general , the battalions have settled down one after another.

Although Yuzhang Wenwu didn't know what happened to the Jingzhou army, and was disappointed to see that there was no battalion roar, Sun Ben was confident.

At night, the scouts came to report that the Jingzhou army was secretly mobilizing troops and horses, and the situation was unknown.
