The last three kingdoms

Chapter 243
Apparently, Zhong Hui has a penchant for showing off his calligraphy and literary talents. A single letter contains thousands of words, with strong pen force, simple and mellow.Zhong Hui's calligraphy comes from a family biography. His father, Zhong Yao, was a great calligrapher of his generation. Zhong Yao was quite accomplished in calligraphy and was the founder of regular script. king".Zhong Hui's calligraphy is outstanding. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, he was called a master, and the world called his father and son "big and small bells".

Zhong Hui's calligraphy is good, and his literary talent is also very good. He has six strokes and four parallel strokes.Fortunately, Lu Kang was more patient than Jiang Wei, and read Zhong Hui's letter from beginning to end.There is a lot of nonsense, but there is only one central meaning, that is, Wei and Wu will stop their troops and rest, and share the land of Yizhou.

Lu Kang smiled indifferently. Others would salute first and then soldiers, but Zhong Hui would fight first and then salute. He did not write a letter before the siege. It is estimated that Zhong Hui had great confidence in his own strength and thought that taking Fucheng would be easy, but after the first battle, He felt that the war was not so easy to fight, so he proposed a peace.It's all right to negotiate a peace. What Zhong Hui proposed was that the two sides take Chengdu together. Obviously, the drunkard's intention is not to drink. Chengdu is in the south of Fucheng. If they take Chengdu and divide Yizhou equally, wouldn't Wu Fang give up Fucheng first? How could tricks fool Lu Kang?

"Bring the pen and ink." Lu Kang ordered, and his servants brought the pen and ink. Lu Kang didn't take any other paper, so he wrote a line in the last blank space of Zhong Hui's letter and folded it. When he came back, he stuffed it into the original envelope, handed it to Wei Guolai, and said: "Please pass it on to Zhong Zhenxi, I have already stated my intention in the letter."

Wei Guolai bowed his promise and left.

The generals were puzzled, and Liu Ping asked, "After fighting for a day, Zhong Hui came to write a letter. What's the meaning of this?"

Lu Kang chuckled and said, "Zhong Hui thought he could take Fucheng lightly because of his strong troops. After a day of fierce fighting, he realized that Dong Wucheng was not easy to deceive, so he wrote a letter to deceive us, intending to let our army surrender Fucheng. Take Chengdu together."

Liu Ping spat, and said: "Bah! This Wei man is very treacherous, and he can use such indiscriminate tricks. It is a lie to take Chengdu together, but it is true to take the opportunity to seize Fucheng."

Lu Kang said indifferently: "Zhong Hui thought that my army would not be able to take Chengdu, so I want to show him that I can't take it!"

While talking, the Chinese army came to report that reinforcements from Soochow had arrived by water.

Lu Kangteng stood up, clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "It's just in time, I've made it!"

The generals were puzzled, Lu Kang said with a smile: "When I entered Sichuan with an army of 6, I had to stay in another area after I captured Fucheng. There are only 2 to 3 people attacking Chengdu, and the defenders of the Shu State have limited troops, but with only [-] to [-] people, they can't take Chengdu anyway. That's why I asked Your Majesty for help, and now [-] reinforcements are rushing Arrived at the right time, blocked the Wei people to the north of Fucheng, and our army went straight to Chengdu, and the big thing was settled."

All the generals suddenly realized that they all called Lu Kang's clever plan.Lu Kang then ordered [-] of the reinforcements to enter the city to change defenses, and [-] field soldiers went directly to the south of the city to set up camp, waiting for the army to gather.Lu Kang defended Fucheng with [-] garrisons plus the original [-] troops, and the remaining [-] troops were preparing to join the [-] reinforcements in the south of the city, and attack Chengdu in the south with [-] troops.

Fucheng is a dangerous city. With [-] defenders holding the city, it should not be a problem to block the [-] Wei army for a period of time. As long as Lu Kang takes Chengdu and eliminates Shu, it will be a breeze to deal with Zhonghui again.

The envoy of the State of Wei left Fucheng, returned to the camp of the Wei Army, and met Zhong Hui.

Zhong Hui said, "Has Lu Kang ever read my letter?"

The envoy reported: "Back to the governor, Lu Kang read the letter in front of his humble official."

"Has Lu Kang replied?"

The envoy submitted the letter and said: "Lu Kang wrote a reply after the original book, please check with the supervisor."

Zhong Hui let out a slight snort, took the letter in his hand, and opened it. After he spewed thousands of words, Lu Kang only appended eight words: "Who wins the deer, each depends on his ability."

Zhong Hui laughed loudly and said, "Lu Kang's writing skills are more than vigorous, but lacking mellowness. I heard that Lu Kang studied under Gu Yong, and Gu Yong was Cai Bojie's favorite student. His calligraphy skills are extraordinary. It seems that Lu Kang only learned a few superficial calligraphy That's all."

The generals looked at each other in blank dismay, Zhong Hui didn't talk about the content of Lu Kang's reply letter, but only talked about calligraphy, which seemed a bit irrelevant.

Zhong Hui said seriously: "People are like their characters, and their characters are like their people. A person's character can be fully expressed from his handwriting. Lu Kang is more than straightforward, but lacks tact. Lu Kang left a message after my letter, it seems His ambition to fight for the throne is undiminished, but it's a pity that he doesn't know the truth that toughness is easy to break, and softness lasts forever, this governor concluded that Lu Kang will definitely be defeated in the future, and there is no place for him to die."

At this time, the scout officer came in and reported: "Report to the governor, a large number of Wu army warships were found at the Fushui ferry, and the Eastern Wu reinforcements have rushed to Fucheng."

All the generals were shocked, now that Lu Kang refuses to defend Fucheng, this battle is not easy to fight, and if reinforcements from the Wu army arrive, it will be even more difficult to fight.

"How many reinforcements are there from the Wu army? Can they all enter Fucheng?" Zhong Hui asked in a deep voice.

"There were about 5 reinforcements from the Wu army, but not all of them entered Fucheng. Thirty thousand of them entered the city, and [-] were stationed in the south of the city. Another battalion was set up."

"Stationed in the south of the city? What kind of tricks does this Lu Kang want to play?" Tian Xu muttered, quite puzzled.

Not only Tian Xu, but almost all the Wei generals present were a little baffled. The defense line of the Wu army was in Fucheng. It stands to reason that if the reinforcements arrived, even if not all of them entered the city, they should be deployed on the east and west lines of the city, facing the defenders of Fucheng. It's right to echo each other from afar, now Lu Kang simply put the 2 people behind his back, he really doesn't understand Lu Kang's way of deploying troops.

Zhong Hui pondered for a moment, suddenly a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he lost his voice: "No, Lu Kang dispatched troops this time, there must be an attempt to resist our army from the north of the city, and the Wu army brigade to attack Chengdu."

The generals were terrified. Now Fucheng is like a mountain in front of Wei Jun, which cannot be crossed. If they want to open up the road to Chengdu, they must first take down Fucheng. But now Wu Jun has assembled a large number of troops in Fu Fucheng, the strength of the troops at this moment is almost the same as that of the Wei army, and the difficulty of taking Fucheng has suddenly doubled.If they can't take Fucheng, they can only watch Lu Kang divide his troops to take Chengdu.

Chengdu is the most important thing. Whoever wins Chengdu wins Yizhou. Sit back and watch the Wu people attack Chengdu and be powerless. Wouldn't it make a group of Wei generals die of depression.

At this time, Wei Guan, the superintendent of the army, laughed and said, "Going to Chengdu is not only a road to Fucheng, but also to Wenshan County to the west. You can go straight to Luocheng by way of Wenshan. The governor can lead his troops to take Wenshan Road. , take Chengdu directly, it is not yet known who will win the battle."

Wenshan Road is an ancient road in the west of Chengdu, along the Minjiang River Valley, turning from Jiangyou to the west, passing through Wenjiang and Wenshan, and reaching Luocheng, only one step away from Chengdu, but because of the long distance and difficult road, so From Jiange to Chengdu, almost no one took this road. Now that the Wei army was blocked under Fucheng and wanted to attack Chengdu in a detour, Wenshan Road was the best choice.

Zhong Hui was overjoyed, Liuqiu Jianwang Mai led [-] troops to camp north of Fushui, and confronted the Wei army in Fucheng. He personally led [-] troops, transferred to Wenshan, and took Chengdu directly.
