The Three Kingdoms: A vicious plan was offered, and Liu Bei was stunned!

Chapter 419: The Grand Commander dispatches troops to Lucheng Town, Han Xuan uses Zhao Zilong
Zhou Yu felt happy when he thought about how Luo Yuan must be so angry when he occupied Changsha.

I have been bullied by Luo Yuan several times, and this time I finally got the chance.

Huang Gai was still worried. Is Luo Yuan an ordinary person?
"General, have you ever thought about why Luo Yuan did not send troops to Linxiang?" Huang Gai said, "Lord Luo is a famous scholar in the world, and he is very wise. Since he sent troops to attack Changsha, why didn't he defend Linxiang?"

Zhou Yu said: "Luo Yuan may not have enough troops. Han Xuan has 200,000 troops stationed on the south bank of the Yuan River. How dare Luo Yuan divide his troops? The land of Linxiang is now empty, which is just right for our army to occupy."

Huang Gai became anxious when he saw that he could not persuade Zhou Yu.

The fact that no generals are seen in Linxiang area might be intentional on Luo Yuan's part.

It's not impossible. Luo Yuan is a very strange person. He can do things that you think are impossible, but he won't do things that you think are possible.

"Grand Commander, don't underestimate Luo Yuan. The emperor is in Jiangling now. What if the emperor is dissatisfied?" Huang Gai hurriedly looked at Zhou Yu.

Don't mess around.

Don't cause big trouble just for a little immediate benefit.

The emperor is in Jiangling, and Luo Yuan can use the emperor to control the princes at any time.

Zhou Yu thought for a moment and said angrily: "Luo Gongqi is just a bastard, and he wants to learn from Cao Cao? Shameless?
After scolding Luo Yuan, Zhou Yu felt much better. Looking at the simple map on his desk, he still couldn't help but be moved.

Linxiang is now a piece of fat meat, and it would be a pity not to eat it.

He felt that he had occupied Linxiang and Luo Yuan was powerless. But when he thought of the emperor's words, Zhou Yu still had some concerns. After all, Jiangdong and the entire world were still nominally the Han Dynasty.

Later, the emperor was deceived by Luo Yuan and accused you of rebellion. How would you explain this to the emperor?
Zhou Yu judged that Luo Yuan did not send troops to attack the Linxiang area because he did not have enough troops.

Zhou Yu said: "If we don't take Linxiang now, it will belong to Luo Yuan in the future. If I take Linxiang now, I can take Changsha. Even if I can't take Changsha, I can still intimidate Changsha, so that Luo Yuan will not dare to act recklessly in the future."

The benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

Not only can we open up a new piece of land, but we can also station troops in Linxiang to intimidate Changsha.

The only downside is that it makes Luo Yuan angry.

Does Luo Yuan’s anger have anything to do with me?

Zhou Yu decided to send troops to Linxiang. Since Han Xuan was now busy dealing with Luo Yuan and there were not many Changsha troops in Linxiang, Zhou Yu sent 20,000 people.

Ding Feng and others were appointed as generals to assist Cheng Pu.

Huang Gai saw that Zhou Yu had made up his mind and said nothing more.

The Jiangdong navy set out from Lukou and soon attacked the small town of Lucheng. When the local people saw the Jiangdong flag, they ran away immediately. Within a few days, the news reached Changsha.

Han Xuan was also annoyed when he received the military report. Luo Yuan put a lot of pressure on him. He finally breathed a sigh of relief after confronting the Jiangling army on the Yuan River, but Zhou Yu came to take advantage of him again.

"Linxiang is very important. Zhou Yu appointed Cheng Pu as a general. Now I need a general to defend Jiangdong."

Han Xuan was not a fool. After Linxiang was lost, Changsha was directly threatened. Before Luo Yuan arrived, he was killed by the people of Jiangdong.

Han Xuan knew that he could not defeat Luo Yuan, and it was understandable. But why did Jiangdong look down on him? Was it just because of Zhou Yu?

Han Xuan and Zhao Yun said, "Zilong once promised to fight for me. Now is the time to fulfill his promise."

Zhao Yun didn't say anything and nodded slightly. Han Xuan gave Zhao Yun 40,000 troops to defend Linxiang.

Luo Yuan soon learned the news.

"Zhao Yun is on the move!"

Luo Yuan and Xu Shu looked at the map. Xu Shu smiled and said, "The Lord deliberately did not move Linxiang, but he calculated that Zhou Lang would be tempted!"

Luo Yuan thought to himself that he was not sure either, he was only half sure, and Zhou Yu would probably be tempted when he saw Linxiang.

He would definitely like to disgust himself if he could capture Changsha before himself. This was Zhou Yu's goal.

Luo Yuan thought for a moment and called Liu Pan over: "You take 5,000 infantry across the river and enter the vicinity of Linxiang. Wait for Cheng Pu to retreat and then take over Linxiang." Liu Pan received the military order and turned around to leave.

Xu Shu was surprised: "My lord, can our army take Linxiang?"

Luo Yuan smiled and said, "Now that Zhou Lang has made his move, Han Xuan will let Zilong lead the troops. Do you think Zilong will fight for Han Xuan for free? I think Kong Ming will have a backup plan, and Zhao Yun will definitely take away the troops Han Xuan gave him."

"Now Han Xuan's army is controlling the Yuan River, and Changsha doesn't have many troops. If Zhao Yun takes some away, Changsha's troops will be empty." Luo Yuan's eyes flashed.

Well, Han Xuan is dying soon.

By now Luo Yuan had clearly seen Zhuge Liang's arrangement. Zhao Yun came to Han Xuan to recruit people. After Zhao Yun defeated Cheng Pu, he would definitely bring his army back to Jiangxia.

Luo Yuan and Xu Shu said, "Perhaps Zhao Yun will not fight with Cheng Pu."

Xu Shu was confused: "If Zhao Yun doesn't fight, wouldn't that be a betrayal?"

"He used a pseudonym when he was with Han Xuan." Luo Yuan felt that it was very likely that if this was the case, the army Liu Pan brought would be reduced and the troops defending the Linxiang area would face Zhou Lang's military pressure!
At least 30,000 troops are needed.

Luo Yuan was afraid that the army was too dispersed, so he deliberately did not move Linxiang, waiting for Zhou Yu to fall into the trap.

But if Jiangling sends out another 30,000 troops, Jiangling will be left empty.

As soon as the war started, it felt like the army was not enough. No wonder Cao Cao led hundreds of thousands of people south.

You can arrange it however you like if there are many people.

But Luo Yuan did not plan to send reinforcements to Liu Pan. With 5,000 men, they would fight if they could, and run away if they couldn't.

He then issued a military order to Liu Pan.

If Zhou Lang wants Linxiang, just give it to him, and he can take it back later.

People in Jiangling could not see the cruelty of the war outside, so they were more relaxed.

Luo Yuan did not make public the intelligence on military operations, so the people of Jiangling did not discuss it much. The most discussed topics recently were newspapers and reading.

It was very simple to run a newspaper, with one issue published every ten days. The first issue talked about Jiang Ling's studies.

The General Military Office issued an order that all the people in Jiangling had to go to school from the age of six to fifteen, both boys and girls.

In order to improve the literacy rate and cultural level of the people, Luo Yuan simply stopped teaching military tactics.

This made the gentry very uncomfortable.

Reading and writing are such noble things, how can ordinary people just read and write?
If you can read and write, you will become a scholar.

How can the common people of Qian be qualified to become scholars?

For a time, many members of the Jiangling gentry opposed it, thinking that Luo Yuan's actions were really against the rules.

There has been no such thing since ancient times.

Of course the gentry were not satisfied, but they would never say that it was wrong to let the common people go to school. What they opposed was that girls should also go to school.

As soon as the newspapers appeared, people from all walks of life began to take action, and countless letters were sent to the Military Headquarters.

"It is really unethical for male and female classmates to be in the same class..."

"A woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent. She only needs to take good care of her husband and raise her children. Why should she be well-read in poetry and books..."

"It has never been heard since ancient times that women still need to study..."

"To punish those who don't study is a tyranny..."
