I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 254 The problem is left to Lu Xun

"Zhou Yang! What do you want to do!" Zhuge Rong cursed, "Let me go!"

Zhou Yang said: "Captain, please don't deceive yourself. Jiangling City has been destroyed. Those who understand the current affairs are heroes."

He saw Li Zhao's severed head with his own eyes, and he knew Li Heng's murderous tactics.

Not long after, Yang Zong was woken up.

Yang Zong went to call Du Yu again: "Du Changshi, the gate of Public Security City is open."

Du Yu ran to the bow and saw that it was really sailing.

Not long after, they took the people ashore.

Zhou Yang and others kidnapped Zhuge Rong.

Zhuge Rong stopped struggling: "Li Jian has a good plan!"

"How to say?" Du Yu asked.

"You lied to us and said that Jiangling City was destroyed. At dawn, did you go to Jiangling City and lie to Jiangling City that our Public Security City was destroyed?"

Du Yu did not explain. He asked Yang Zong to take over the police while he took Zhuge Rong to Jiangling.

At dawn, Du Yu arrived at Jiangling and saw the gap being repaired outside Jiangling City. Zhuge Rong was stunned.

Soon, Li Heng met Zhuge Rong.

Li Heng smiled very politely and said, "Old friend, we meet again."

"General, you are well." Zhuge Rong no longer had the arrogance he had before, and smiled dejectedly.

I think the last time the two of them met was when they were discussing the sale of blue and white porcelain.

He remembered that Li Heng was still the minister of the Ministry of Industry at that time, and the conversation between the two parties was very harmonious. Li Heng gave him some blue and white porcelain.

But now, Li Heng was already General Ji Han, and an army of 100,000 conquered Jiangling.

"Everything is fine with me. Uncle seems to have something on his mind?"

"You captured Jiangling, didn't I worry about it?"

"You no longer rely on Lu Boyan?"

"The general can destroy Jiangling City, so what's the use of Lu Boyan's coming?"

Li Heng said: "You can't say that. I can attack the city, but Lu Boyan is like a god with his troops. I may not be his opponent."

"Looking at the general's composure, he already has a good plan after all."

"It's not a good idea. I ordered Ganchang to summon local celebrities to meet me today, but I think Ganchang's knowledge must be limited, and I need my uncle to help me."

"What did the general do when he saw them?"

"Of course I make friends with them. I hope they can help me deal with Wu and Wei together."

"I'm afraid I can't do this favor to the general."

"I'm afraid I have no choice but to kill my uncle."

"My father, Zhuge Ziyu."

"It'll be less painful."

"Uncle Kong Ming."

"With a few more axes, it won't hurt if my head is split open."

"How many people does the general want to see?"

"There are as many as there are."

"Ok, no problem."

After Sun Quan captured Hefei, Li Heng officially captured Jiangling and Gong'an.

Not only that, Lu Xun and Zhuge Jin's West Route Army also achieved amazing results in Jiangxia County.

On March 20, the day Li Heng captured Jiangling City, Lu Xun defeated Lu Shi, the prefect of Jiangxia in Cao Wei.

It stands to reason that as long as Lu Shi defends the city, even if Lu Xun sends people to bite and bite, he will not be able to bite off Shiyang City, let alone defeat the Wei army.

But Lu Xun was no ordinary person in terms of tactical operations.

The siege of Shiyang City has been going on for a long time. No matter how Wu Jun yelled and cursed, Lu Shi refused to send troops.

At the same time, he also wrote a letter to Xiangyang, saying that he would hold off Wu Jun first. When Wu Jun was almost out of food and grass and his morale was low, Xiangyang would send reinforcements.

The Lu style strategy is also excellent.

Unfortunately, Lu Xun predicted his prediction.

Ten days later, on March 18, Lu Xun sent people to curse outside the city, and then left Shiyang City with his main troops.

Lu Shi sent people out of the city to confirm again and again that the main force of the Wu army had indeed left Shiyang City, leaving only about 8,000 people to besiege Shiyang City. Lu Shi knew immediately that Lu Xun wanted to hold back Shiyang City while leading the main force to attack Xiangyang.

Isn't this obvious?

Look at me, I immediately saw through Lu Xun’s plan.

So Lu Shi immediately wrote a letter to Xiangyang, saying that Lu Xun's main force was coming and that you were ready to wait for work.

And me?

I have an army of 20,000 in my hands, and I am fighting against Lu Xun’s 8,000. It’s home court again.

No matter what, the advantage is mine!

Then, on March 19, Lu Shi personally led about 15,000 troops out of the city and formed a formation to face the Wu army.

At noon that day, Wu's army collapsed at the first touch and retreated one after another.

Lu Shi immediately ordered the pursuit. He joined the army and said to Lu Shi: General, Lu Xun is not a human being! He must have set up an ambush!

Lu Shi: You fart! Lu Xun's main force has already traveled two hundred miles away. Do you think my scouts are blind? Guys, go! I'll give you credit today...oh no, it's time to take credit!

So the Wei army began to rush forward boldly.

Chase after chase, join the army and take a look, Huh? Wu Jun seems to have really been defeated, and there really seems to be no main force of Wu Jun around!

Huh? Why did Wu Jun come back to fight again?

Huh? Why does our army seem to be defeated?

Huh? General, why did you run away?

In the end, Lu Shi led the defeated Wei army and fled back to Shiyang City in embarrassment, saving his life.

Lu Xun defeated 15,000 Wei troops in a battle at Shiyang City and captured 10,000!

How did Lu Xun do it?

Is he a magic master?

Wu Jun did go to Xiangyang, and most of them went to Xiangyang.

But the vast majority of them are not the main force, most of them are support troops.

The ones who are truly most capable of fighting remain outside the city.

According to conventional thinking, if we go to attack Xiangyang at this time, we must bring elites and most of the troops.

But Lu Xun did the opposite.

The so-called "main force" is actually for Lu Shi to see.

When Lu Shi chased out, the Wu army pretended to be defeated and the Wei army pursued.

When the Wei army was pursuing, it was not in a formation state. In its offensive state at this time, its defensive power was extremely weak.

Weaknesses are most easily exposed.

So in ancient wars, what does it mean to catch someone unawares and attack them unprepared?

This is!

Lu Xun is an excellent tactical instructor. What he is best at is finding the enemy's weakest point, delivering a fatal blow, and then quickly expanding the results.

He personally selected eight hundred of the most elite armored warriors, took a detour and attacked the marching Wei army.

Nearly a thousand years later, during the Battle of Song and Jin Dynasties, Wu Jie and Han Shizhong both used this tactic of mobilizing the enemy, using their most elite group of people to quickly attack the enemy's weak points.

This is one of the typical essences of mobile warfare.

After winning, the so-called main force of Wu Army also began to retreat.

There is no way to attack Xiangyang.

It's not that Lu Xun really didn't go to Xiangyang, but that after defeating Shi Yang, he reorganized his army and then deployed a small number of troops to trap Shi Yang City.

At this time, Shiyang City was a sick cat that had lost two-thirds of its health and could not afford to turn over a large amount of food.

Lu Xun could attack Xiangyang with confidence and boldness without worrying about being flanked by the Wei army on both sides.

Therefore, on March 21st, Lu Xun, who had already begun to reorganize his troops, calmly commanded the "main force" who had just returned yesterday, preparing to rest for a whole morning before sending the main force to Xiangyang.

Everyone in the Wu army was filled with joy after the victory.

The generals of the Wu army all praised Lu Xun.

"The Governor's military skills are like a god. The news of success came from Hefei yesterday. His Majesty has taken control of Hefei!" Zhu Ran laughed and said, "This time we have a double-front victory, the Wei thieves must have been frightened out of their wits!"

"All the soldiers fought bravely to kill the enemy. I just used a little trick." Lu Xun said.

Zhuge Jin said: "Grand Governor, what are your instructions?"

"Your Majesty said that the Wei army has been weakened by Kong Ming in recent years, so there is nothing to worry about." Lu Xun sighed.

Obviously, he did not agree with Sun Quan's unrestrained statement.

"Having said that, Kong Ming is indeed very good in Guanzhong. He was able to stay in Guanzhong for three years. The Wei army continued to increase its troops, but it was really unable to repel the Shu army." Zhu Ran also sighed with emotion, "But I heard that Li Jian also came up with many strategies. I also heard that he has gone north to Guanzhong, it seems that the Shu Kingdom is going to invade the country this time!"

"The main forces of the Shu army and the Wei army fought hard in Guanzhong, and in the end, I, Da Wu, took the bait!" Zhu Ran continued, "Grand Governor, taking advantage of the high morale, I will set off for Xiangyang at noon!"

Lu Xun was about to nod when a voice suddenly came from outside the camp.

"Report! An urgent military report came from Jiangling!"
