Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 631 Planning is not as fast as change

When Lu Xun arrived, the map of Yuzhou had already been hung up, and Zhou Cang and others were meditating around the map.Deng Ai explained the ins and outs to Lu Xun in a low voice.

Lu Xun thought for a while and said: "If Lu Zijing is still alive, he will definitely dissuade Duke Wu. Unfortunately, the governor of Jiangdong is now Lu Meng. He is aggressive, so instead of dissuading him, he will try his best to promote it. I have a plan, please refer to it, my lord. .”

Sun Quan was the uncle of Lu Xun's wife, so Lu Xun would not call him by his first name.

"Let's talk about the best policy first." Zhou Cang would not start with a bad sound.

"The so-called best policy is to ask Duke Wu to send troops to Hefei, and Gongming to return to Xuzhou, and give Shouchun to Lord Wu."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was the boss's unwillingness. After so much effort in co-authoring, it was Sun Quan who got the cheapest in the end?I'm afraid Xu Huang would rather work hard than agree.

Lu Xun went on to say: "The medium strategy is to increase troops to Fengyang. As long as the connection between Shouchun and Xuzhou is unblocked, Shouchun will have no worries. The so-called bad strategy is that once Lord Wu is really an enemy of Huainan, then Yu Wen will attack Kuaiji across the sea. Force Sun Quan to return to the army."

Zhou Cang shook his head straight: "Taizhou is not prepared enough, and the time is not right now." He pinched his fingers, there were still three months before Xu Shu sent troops to merge the state, time waits for no one.

How could Zhou Cang be willing to give up Shouchun, a major north-south traffic route and an important military town?It seems that the only way to do this is to increase Xu Huang's troops.

"In order, Huang Zhong led the three thousand Lightning Battalion to go south to patrol between Shouchun and Fengyang." The Lightning Battalion has increased to 5000 people, and Zhou Cang dared not transfer all of them out, and left two thousand for Qingzhou.

"Reorder, Chen Da leads [-] sailors to settle in Guangling."

"Three Orders, secret agent Simunan, but if there is any information from Jiangdong, Hefei, and Cao Cao, please report immediately; Su Yang, the chamber of commerce, has only been able to trade with Jiangdong recently, and the people sent to Jiangdong will send the goods back as soon as possible, and the key personnel will evacuate. "

Three orders were issued in succession, only the last one was for Xu Huang.Zhou Cang sighed slightly: "Ling Gongming continues to hoard food and grass..."

There was only a thunderclap, and it rained cats and dogs.Zhou Cang walked to the door immediately, laughed and said: "God help me, Huainan is raining heavily, how will Cao Cao and Sun Quan attack the city? Let Xu Huang be prepared to defend the isolated city for at least half a year, no, at least nine months!"

Three months or four months, everything will change after the rainy season.At that time, Xu Shu sent troops to merge the state, disrupting Cao Cao's deployment; it was originally expected that Liu Bei would attack in the spring, but judging from Cao Cao's performance, either Liu Bei did not send troops, or the dispatch of troops was not smooth, maybe Liu Bei would raise troops again by then, and Cao Cao would be powerless Taking Qing Xu into consideration, Sun Quan would not send troops foolishly alone.

Zhou Wen said: "The last time Xu Yuan came to Xuzhou directly, he once said that Hao Zhao is capable of defending the city. Why don't you transfer him to Shouchun?"

Zhou Cang was overjoyed: "Okay! Write a letter to Yuan Zhi immediately and call Hao Bodao." Hao Zhao is a character who can stop Zhuge Liang, and Shou Shouchun has a little more confidence.

Deng Ai hesitated and said: "General Xu sent a letter saying that he transferred Qingzhou soldiers back to Xiapi and handed them over to General Wei Xu..."

Zhou Cang thought for a while and said: "Frequently changing the general's Qingzhou soldiers is not good for the army, so Wei Xu led Qingzhou soldiers to Fengyang to exchange with Cao Xing."

The leaders of the South Third and South Fourth Battalions were exchanged, but the South Fourth Battalion added Qingzhou soldiers.With [-] Qingzhou soldiers and Huang Zhong's [-] Lightning Battalion, Zhou Cang was sure that the roads would be clear, and Xu Huang's chances of defending the isolated city would be reduced by two points.

Jiang Ji arrived in Hefei and conveyed Cao Cao's order to Wen Hu and Li Dian. Even if they were extremely reluctant, Jiang Ji had no choice but to return to Chendu.Ten days later, General Zhu Ran led his army to take over Hefei. Jiang Ji and Li Dian led the crowd to take a detour through the Lujiang River to return to Chendu in the rain. All the way to monitor and send out of Lujiang.

After all the hard work, he didn't eat the fat in his mouth, and he took the initiative to send it to his mouth. On the second day of July in the 21st year of Jian'an, Sun Quan, the Lord of Wu, finally got his dream of Hefei.

On July [-]th, Zhuge Jin arrived in Jinan and expressed Sun Quan's respect to Zhou Cang. He did not conceal Cao Cao's excuse at all, and explained that Sun Quan wanted to play Zhou Cang as King of Liao.

Zhou Cang was stunned, how could this be?Cao Cao is just an excuse?Sun Quan wanted to please at the same time.Be king?Sun Quan clearly wanted to put himself on the stove to roast. "I would like to ask Mr. Ziyu to repay Mr. Wu. Thank you for your kindness. It's just that I, Zhou Weiguo, have no virtue. Now that the world is in chaos, I would like to work with Mr. Wu to help the Han Dynasty, eliminate traitors, revive the majesty of the great man, and return the common people to a happy land." .”

Inspector Mi Fang and Honglu Division Chief Wang Can arranged for Zhuge Jin to rest and host a banquet.Zhou Cang called Zhou Wen, Lu Xun, and Deng Ai to discuss countermeasures urgently.

"Why did my lord decline the kindness of Duke Wu?" Zhou Wen twisted his beard and smiled, hoping that Zhou Cang would become king and emperor, which is Zhou Wen's eternal dream.

"Don't talk about it anymore. I came here to analyze what kind of medicine Cao Cao and Sun Quan sold in the gourd?" Zhou Cang felt that it was a bit messy and needed to be sorted out.

"If what Zhuge Jin said is true, it must be that Shouchun is too important, so Cao Cao did not want to give up Shouchun easily. Sun Quan wanted Shouchun and did not want to offend his teacher, so he sent Zhugejin to show his favor. "Deng Ai said.

Lu Xun nodded in agreement.Zhou Wen worried: "What if what Zhuge Jin said is not true? Is this a trick by Sun Quan to slow down the army? Although Zhuge Ziyu said that it was Zhu Ran, not Lu Meng, who settled in Hefei, how could it be concluded that this was not a trick? Back then, we You can use this trick to fool Cao Xiu."

Lu Xun shook his head: "If Mr. Wu has the intention of being deceived, he only needs to deceive Gongming. Why send Zhuge Jin to see the lord? Mr. Wu treats Zhuge Jin very kindly, so why would he put him in danger? In order to separate our two families, Duke Wu saw through Cao Cao's tricks."

Zhou Wen frowned. It is not a good thing for Lu Xun to protect Sun Quan so much. He should remind the lord when he finds an opportunity.

"Is it just Cao Cao's alienation plan?" Zhou Cang reasoned his thoughts. Cao Cao is very likely to abandon Hefei, which is as weak as it is, under the situation of being attacked on three sides. , so that Cao Cao can free up his hands to deal with himself and Liu Bei, which seems reasonable.

"Since Lord Wu has seen through Cao Cao's tricks, I can't be stingy." Zhou Cang chuckled, "Let Wang Can send Zhuge Jin back to Jiangdong, and meet Sun Quan to thank him for his kindness, and congratulate him on obtaining Hefei!"

"Uncle, Mu Nan asks to see you."

"Call him in."

Mu Nan hurried in, slightly out of breath, with an extremely bad complexion. "Reporting to the lord, news from Hefei, Wu general Zhu Ran settled in Hefei, Yangzhou governor Wen Hu and Li Dian borrowed Lujiang..."

Zhuge Jin started to set off before collecting Hefei, so the news from Mu Nan will be later.

"I already know about it."

Mu Nan continued: "Just received the Fengyang battle report, Zhang Wenyuan sent troops out of Qiaojun, General Huang was defeated, and General Wei Xu was killed!"
