Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 269 Ruxu wins the first battle
Han Hao clasped his fists and replied: "In the evening, some people from the navy also came to discuss. Governor Cai arrived at the scheduled location two days ago. Now a water village has been set up by the Chaohu Lake on the north side of Qibao Mountain. We are currently waiting for the Lord's order."

Cao Cao said gratifiedly: "At the beginning when I went to Jingzhou alone, there were only [-] sailors from Xiangyang, and there were only a few hundred warships, so I was forced to fight Zhou Yu in Wulin, and the epidemic was rampant, so I was defeated. After several years, I can finally avenge my shame, hahaha"

Chang Shi Dong Zhao offered compliments: "My lord defeated Sun Quan in this battle, and took advantage of the situation to take Jiangdong, not to mention becoming the Duke of Wei, even being called the King of Wei. If it weren't for your conquests from south to north, this Han Zuo would have been over long ago. .”

"Duke Wei deserves his name." Jiang Ji followed suit.

"It deserves its name." All the ministers shouted in unison.

Cao Cao waved his hand: "After the war, please play the emperor, you will be rewarded for your hard work."

"Thank you, Duke Wei."

"However, the emperor has not issued an edict, so there should be no more presumptuous words. How many people are there to harass the enemy tonight? Who is the general?" Cao Cao asked suspiciously.

Zhang Liao clasped his fists out of the squadron and said, "There are probably several hundred cavalrymen who have been monitoring near the Wenbo Front Army for the past few days, and their leader will be Jiangdong's famous general Lu Meng."

"Lu Meng? A famous Jiangdong general? Hahaha, why did Wenyuan make me laugh?" Cao Cao laughed.

Zhang Liao has been stationed in Hefei for the past two years, and he doesn't know the military situation of the Yangtze River News and Jiaozhou, so when he heard Cao Cao say this, he was like Monk Zhang Er who couldn't figure it out. Did I say something wrong?
Seeing this, Cheng Yu explained: "Lü Meng wanted to capture Jiaozhou last year and brought [-] Jiangdong elite soldiers, but was stopped by Lai Gong with thousands of people for half a year. In the end, he withdrew his troops because of the shortage of food and grass. Now this person can't hold his head high in the Jiangdong court. , it is inappropriate for General Zhang to call him a famous general."

"Is that so?" Zhang Liao didn't know how to reply.

The smiling faces of everyone in the big tent were reddened by the heat from the brazier. They seemed to be waiting for Lu Meng's joke. Forward Zhu Ling is a famous general under Cao Cao's command. He should win a big victory against such an idiot.

Just when everyone was enjoying themselves, Xu Chu led the messengers from the front barracks from outside.

The man looked tense and was covered in dust. When he saw Cao Cao bowed his head, he bowed, "I want to tell the prime minister, my troops fell down during the pursuit tonight, and two thousand pacers strayed into the swamp. General Zhu asked me to come and report to you."

As soon as the messenger finished speaking, there was a sudden silence in the tent.

Just now Lu Meng was demoted to nothing, but now there is a sudden reversal.

"Where is Zhu Ling now?" Cao Cao said with a serious expression.

Cao Cao's body was stretched straight, and the quilt wrapped around him collapsed, and he didn't feel cold at the moment.

The messenger replied: "General Zhu is leading [-] elite soldiers to rescue."

"You man." Cao Cao threw two words out of his mouth, but he didn't know whether he was scolding Lu Meng or Zhu Ling.

Although Cheng Yu looked down on Sun Quan, he made a very precise suggestion: "My lord, our army is not familiar with the environment of this place, and it is very easy to get caught in a rash pursuit at night. Why is it so unwise to go through the battlefield?"

Cao Cao knew that Zhu Ling was not a reckless person, there must be a reason for him to lose his mind, Cao Cao made a decisive decision: "The hundreds of people in Lu Meng should be bait, Wen Yuan, Xuan Gao, you take your troops and horses to meet them, remember to light more torches With a strong voice."

"Wei." Zhang Liao (Zang Ba) embraced the order.

After experiencing such a small episode, the people in the big tent lost all sleepiness. This is Sun Quan's disarming authority, and it really looks like a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.

Cao Cao took out the newspaper in his arms to read it again, and the look in his eyes became more complicated. He said to himself, "Could this really be a conspiracy by Sun Liu? It is used to disturb our army's morale?"

Jia Xu comforted: "Prime Minister, don't worry, even if Lu Meng plays a little deceit, it won't help. In the face of absolute superiority in military strength, these small tricks can't play a decisive role."

"Lv Meng is scratching his boots, how can Gu care?" Cao Cao snorted coldly.

"Now the main force of our army is too far away from the navy, so why not move our army to camp at the northern foot of Qibao Mountain, so that it can be integrated with Cai Dudu's water village, so that we can cooperate well both in offense and defense." Jia Xu suggested.

Cao Cao nodded, then looked at Han Hao, the leader of the army, and said, "Yuansi, order all battalions to move to the northern foot of Qibao Mountain tomorrow morning."

"Wei." Han Hao cupped his fists and accepted the order.

After dawn, each camp buried pots to make rice, and then moved to the northern foot of Qibao Mountain.

Last night, Zhu Ling's troops were lured to the swamp by Lu Meng, and then joined forces with Gongsun Yang and others in Xijiang Daying to prepare to attack and eat all Zhu Ling's soldiers and horses, but because of Zhang Liao and Zang Ba's timely rescue, Lu Meng only got a small After the victory, he retreated at night.

In Sun Cao's first battle at Ruxukou, Lu Meng's troops beheaded 500 ranks and captured more than [-] horses, winning a good start.

Lu Meng returned to Ruxuwu to report his victory, and presented the [-] captured war horses. Lu Meng swept away the haze when he returned from Jiaozhou. Sun Quan was overjoyed when he learned about it.

Jiangdong does not produce war horses, and horses are very precious there. He kept [-] horses for his own use, and donated the remaining [-] horses to Lu Meng and Pan Zhang.

Lv Meng's impressive performance in the first battle, all Jiangdong generals in Ruxuwu came to congratulate him, even the veteran Han Dang who had praised him was no exception.

After everyone left, Sun Quan left Lv Meng alone to encourage him: "Did you feel deeply these days? This is the world with all kinds of conditions, and the world is cold and cold. No one will respect the weak, so you must always be strong."

"The final general is willing to die to repay the lord." Lu Meng bowed down on one knee.

Sun Quan helped him up, "Wen Gui has told me the history of the war, and I can no longer take the risk of charging forward. What I lack is a handsome man who can command thousands of troops, not like Ling Gongji (Ling Tong) and Dong Yuandai (Dong Xi)." Those who fall into the battle are the first generals."

"Thank you, my lord, for your kindness." Lu Meng burst into tears of gratitude.

"Do you have the confidence to help me defeat Cao thief?" Sun Quan asked.

Lu Meng said solemnly: "Although the last general had a small victory last night, he lost more than a thousand troops. Cao's army is indeed powerful on land. To defeat him, we have to rely on our Jiangdong navy."

Sun Quan nodded in agreement, and when he mentioned the navy, he immediately became confident.

As soon as Cao Cao arrived, he lost thousands of soldiers and horses, and Lv Meng's morale was greatly depressed. After setting up camp at the northern foot of Qibao Mountain, he planned to take the initiative to attack Ruxukou.

Sun Quan's main forces were all at the foot of the mountain to the east of Ruxushui, and it was quite difficult to attack Ruxuwu head-on. After discussing with several advisers, Cao Cao let the navy go out of the gorge of the two mountains, and landed at night on the north side of Ruxushan Pass .

It is planned to follow Xu Huang's method of crossing Pubanjin, and gradually advance southward after landing in the north. At that time, Sun Quan's Ruxuwu will not be effective. After all, Cao Jun's combat effectiveness on land is very strong.

A few days later, just after nightfall, Cai Mao led the warship and sneaked out of the water village, preparing to cross the river twenty miles north of Ruxukou.

Ruxu Mountain is located on the East Gate where the wind is expected, and the top of the mountain can overlook the entire Ruxu Waterway. Cao Jun’s ships can be seen in and out of the two mountain gorge. Not long after Cai Mao’s warship sailed out of the water village, Sun Quan received the news at Ruxuwu. The firelight is very conspicuous.

That night, Sun Quan hurriedly sent the governor Lu Su to defend against the enemy in a warship. Lu Meng, Ling Tong, Han Dang, Jiang Qin and others accompanied the army, and he and the veteran Cheng Pu sat in Ruxuwu.

At the same time, Sun Quan sent Zhang Zhao to Gan Ning to work there, but Ruxuwu was relatively empty because he sent a large number of troops. Sun Quan was afraid that this man who could rob the camp with a hundred horses would be too dangerous if he played backstab with him.

　Thanks to Baoyanzi Xiaomeng, Yeyang Retrograde, and Khan of the World for their rewards, and thanks to the handsome men and women who voted.
