Who is not Cao Cao?

Chapter 141 Wrong Calculation
Tianzhu Mountain.

In the magnificent lobby of the cottage, Chen Lan leaned in the arms of a woman, carelessly playing with a piece of gold cake in her hand.

"Li Shu."

"Lu Su."

"Liu Ye."

"He Yan..."

"This Lujiang County is also troubled now."

Chen Lan casually stuffed the gold cake on the chest of the woman behind her, walked out of the lobby with lazy steps, and went to the door to have a look.

Tianzhu Mountain is more than twenty feet high, with smooth walls, difficult for apes to climb, and difficult for wild geese to cross.There is only a path that seems to be uncannily crafted to connect to the outside, it is definitely a treasure that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

It is now that Huainan is dilapidated, and there is not much food to grab.Otherwise, as long as tens of thousands of stones of grain are deposited in the middle of Tianzhu Mountain, even if soldiers and immortals are alive, they will not be able to break through this natural camp.

It stands to reason that Chen Lan has occupied this place for a long time, so he should be aware of the danger of this place, and will not have any restless thoughts.

But today... No, or after Lu Su left, Chen Lan has always felt a sense of depression about to come.

This sense of depression is Chen Lan's unique talent.

It was by virtue of this talent that Chen Lan escaped the battle of Qiyang between Yuan Shu and Cao Cao, and avoided being beheaded by Cao Cao like Qiao Rui, Li Feng, Liang Gang, and Le Jiu.

It was also based on this feeling that Chen Lan finally abandoned Yuan Shu and chose to come to Tianzhu Mountain to become a bandit.

But today, this feeling came to my heart like a tide again, making Chen Lan extremely uneasy.

"Mei Cheng."

Chen Lan called out her lieutenant general and called him to her side.

"You bring 1000 people down the mountain and keep an eye on Wan County!"

"Whatever they did, all must be recorded and reported to me!"

"Remember, it's all! Don't miss a single detail!"

Chen Lan is different from Lei Xu and Mei Gan.

He is a regular military commander, and he has to pay attention to far more than ordinary thieves.

After following Yuan Shu for so many years, Chen Lan has long understood that war is not only about swords and swords on the battlefield, but also about conspiracy and tricks that cannot be seen in private.

Among other things, the previous Chen Wang Liu Chong and Chen Guoxiang Luo Jun were killed by assassins sent by Yuan Shu.

Working with such a boss, if Chen Lan doesn't have a mind, it can only be said that he is too stupid.

Although Tianzhu Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but after all, it does not have enough resources to be self-sufficient.

If the outside world changes, and Chen Lan does not lose in the frontal battle, but falls in other places, then it will be really aggrieved.

After Mei Cheng received Chen Lan's military order, he also set off from Tianzhu Mountain very quickly and arrived near Wan County.

The soldiers in Wan County were not blind either, and they soon informed Lu Xun who was left in Wan County by He Yan of Mei Cheng's whereabouts.

"Chen Lan's soldiers?"

Although Lu Xun was new here, He Yan had already made him his confidant, so he was naturally aware of Lu Su's plan.

When he learned that Chen Lan had sent troops, Lu Xun immediately knew that Chen Lan had noticed something.

"Don't be in a hurry to send a letter to Marquis Shen, lest you startle the snake."

Lu Xun seemed like a born military strategist, he made a decisive decision to drag this gang of thieves by himself.

"Tianzhu Mountain is close to Wanxian County but far from Chaohu Lake. Even if Chen Lan became suspicious, she must have sent someone to Wanxian County to look for clues."

"So we need to make some noise in Wan County to attract Chen Lan's attention and buy time for Marquis Shen."

If Chen Lan knew that He Yan and the others had gone to attack Lei Xu and Mei Gan, she would definitely go to rescue them at all costs.

As the most powerful of the three parties, as long as Chen Lan is off, it is almost a winner-take-all.

Without hesitation, Lu Xun directly wrote a letter and handed it to the soldiers in the city, asking them to take it to Mei Cheng.

In the letter, Lu Xun burst into tears, showing a look of grievance——

"General Chen Lan's reputation has always been admired by us."

"In order not to let the general suspect that we underestimated him. Marquis Shen specially sent Lu Zijing to present more than a hundred gold cakes to General Chen Lan to show his respect to the general, but why do you still send troops down to rob the people?"

"Now that the Lujiang counties are in ruins, even if the general goes down the mountain, he won't get any good things. Why don't you send troops back for now. When the people have a good harvest next year, I'll send fresh rice for the general to enjoy. Do you think it's okay?"

Lu Xun's showing weakness can be regarded as a traditional craft.

In history, on the eve of Soochow's surprise attack on Jingzhou, Lu Xun also wrote a letter to Guan Erye.

In the letter, Lu Xun strongly praised Guan Yu, expressing his admiration for him like the waters of the Yangtze River, and promised that Soochow would never be an enemy of Guan Yu...

Then Guan Yu died.

Later, when Lu Xun and Liu Bei fought in Yiling, it was the same, all kinds of "Liu Xuande's army is strong, we can't fight against him".

Then Liu Bei also died.

……

When Lu Xun thought that his "pretending to be a grandson" would shine a few years in advance, the stick of reality hit Lu Xun hard.

After Mei Cheng received the letter, he immediately forwarded it to Chen Lan in Tianzhu Mountain.

And Chen Lan made a decisive decision after reading the letter: "The whole army is ready to attack!"

A lieutenant came to ask questions in confusion, Chen Lan took the letter and cursed directly: "How can He Yan say such a thing?"

Even if Chen Lan doesn't know about Da Qiao, he can guarantee that He Yan is not someone to befriend.

If He Yanruo is really so weak, what happened to the Battle of Guandu?What happened to Li Shu's death?

Especially Li Shu!
Now Li Shu's bones are still cold!No matter how much He Yan pretends to be a pig, he can't hide the fact that he ate a tiger!
Lu Xun's later generations were able to deceive Guan Yu and Liu Bei because Sun Quan was the leader of Soochow at that time.

Guan Yu and Liu Bei dared to look down on Sun Quan, but Chen Lan dared not look down on He Yan!
It was because Lu Xun didn't take this into consideration, his first test paper after fledgling undoubtedly seemed a bit unqualified.

After Lu Xun heard that Chen Lan's tribe had come out of Tianzhu Mountain in a large scale, he couldn't keep calm, and decisively asked for help from He Yan, hoping that He Yan would lead his troops back to defend immediately!
After He Yan received this information, his brows frowned instantly, and a dilemma appeared in his heart.

If the troops are withdrawn, it will be impossible to quell the chaos, and peace in Huainan may be difficult to win in a short time.

Not only is there no way to calm down the chaos, Lu Su who is still with the enemy may have to be folded in, losing a talent in vain.

But if the troops are not withdrawn, if Chen Lan's leader steals his ass, Cao Cao's power in Yangzhou will probably be accounted for here.

After much deliberation, He Yan finally issued a military order——

"The former army has changed to the latter! Heading towards Tianzhu Mountain at full speed!"

At this moment Lu Meng came up and asked, "Marquis Shen, do you want to inform Taishou Liu and them?"

"Need not!"

He Yan fixed his eyes on the two hundred horses that Cao Ren gave him: "Let them act according to Lu Zijing's original plan."

"As for Chen Lan...we'll take care of it ourselves!"
