Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 638
Jianye, Sun Quan is furious.Guan Yu's flooding of the Seventh Army shocked him greatly, and Guan Yu's momentum became more and more disturbing to him.Xiangshui was originally the dividing line between the two armies determined in the last peace talks with Liu Bei. Fu Shiren led a surprise attack and took away all the food stored in various places. Not only that, Fu Shiren also robbed money and women. This is a blatant provocation!Guan Yu first scolded himself as a dog, and then sent people to rob his home. How could the majestic Lord Wu have any face?

Sun Quan not only summoned Jianye Wenwu, but also Lu Meng, the captain of the navy. "Guan Yu broke his promise, what should we do?" Sun Quan's face sank.

There was no sound in the hall, and everyone was very clear in their hearts. Sun Quan took advantage of Guan Yu to grab food, and the root cause was his desire for Jingzhou and his fear of Guan Yu.Not only Sun Quan, how many people in Jiangdong and even the Central Plains are not intimidated by Guan Yu's prestige?Sun Quan's fear was not that he was afraid of Guan Yu, but that he was afraid that Guan Yu would continue to grow bigger and stronger and threaten Jiangdong.Jiangdong Wenwu's fear is because Guan Yu's reputation is too strong now, and he feels that he is not Guan Yu's opponent.

Could it be said that Zhou Yu and Lu Su died of illness one after another, so there is no one in Jiangdong?of course not!Governor Lu Meng came out and said, "My lord, although Guan Yu is brave, he is arrogant and conceited. This is the harbinger of defeat! You only need to use a little trick to capture Jingzhou."

Sun Quan raised his eyebrows with joy: "Zi Ming has a clever plan? Why don't you say it?"

Lu Meng hesitated for a moment: "This plan is amazing..."

There are two explanations for Lu Meng's hesitation. The first is that Lu Meng actually didn't have any good strategy, which was just to comfort Sun Quan.No matter what kind of explanation, it caused everyone's unhappiness.

Yu Fan said with an unhappy expression: "Here are all the ministers of the lord's humerus, can't Ziming still believe it?"

Sun Quan stared at Lu Meng with wide eyes, waiting for Lu Meng's answer.Lu Meng smiled slightly and said, "Why can't I trust you guys? What I worry about is not whether I can capture Jingzhou, but Cao Cao!"

Why did you bring out Cao Cao again?
Lu Meng went on to say: "If I take Jingzhou, Guan Yu will definitely return to the army to rescue him. If Cao Cao takes advantage of the battle between our two families to take Jingzhou at this time, wouldn't it be easier for him?"

Sun Quan suddenly realized, nodded and said, "Zi Ming's worries are very true, so what should we do?"

"Guan Yu flooded Cao Cao's Seventh Army, and Xudu was shaken, so what Cao Cao was most worried about was that Guan Yu would take Fancheng and advance to Wancheng, thereby threatening Xudu!" Lu Meng looked around at the thoughtful crowd. "Therefore, if I don't expect it, Cao Cao will definitely send someone to see the lord if he is worried about this, and ask the lord to attack Guan Yu from behind to break the siege of Fancheng."

Zhang Zhao nodded and said, "Could it be that Ziming meant that we can propose conditions to Cao Cao at that time?"

"That's right! That's exactly what it means."

Zhang Zhao shook his head, "Cao Cao has never kept his word, even if he promised, he would go back on his word."

"One moment and another moment. Don't forget that Shouchun is still in Xu Huang's hands, how dare Cao Cao go back on his word?"

Sending troops directly and sending troops at the request of Cao Cao are similar in results, but there is still an essential difference: directly sending troops, Jingzhou is disputed in terms of ownership, Sun Quan can take it, and Cao Cao can also take it, then the two will eventually have disputes and friction.Sending troops at Cao Cao's request will be equivalent to determining the ownership of Jingzhou in advance. Only when Sun Quan loses can Cao Cao fight for it again, otherwise it will be a breach of contract.Having offended Liu Bei and having a delicate relationship with Zhou Cang, Sun Quan could no longer tear himself apart with Cao Cao.

"Ziming, you should go back to Chaisang immediately to prepare. All the armies are under your control. Act carefully and don't disturb Guan Yu." Since Lu Meng didn't tell the trick, Sun Quan didn't intend to ask any more.

"Before I came to Jianye this time, I declared that I was sick and entrusted the general affairs to Ling Tong. My lord can continue to say that I will stay in Jianye to recover from my illness, so as to paralyze Guan Yu. In addition, my lord can send envoys to Jingzhou to congratulate Guan Yu..."

When Zhou Yu attacked Jiang Ling, Ling Tong served as the temporary governor, so there was no big problem in terms of ability.Sun Quan was a little worried: "Then Han Dang will be the commander of the water army temporarily. You are operating in secret. As for congratulating Guan Yu, Han Dang can figure it out."

Sending a 70-year-old veteran is enough to paralyze Guan Yu and congratulate Guan Yu?Sun Quan was not in the mood.

Ten days later, Jiang Ji came to Jianye to see Sun Quan and asked Sun Quan to send troops.

Sun Quan shook his head like a rattle. "Guan Yunchang is a famous general, and he is more likely to win a big victory. I may be disadvantaged if I send troops easily."

"Mr. Wu is on a mission. Guan Yu has always held grudges against you. He is deeply concerned about Duke Wu's capture of the three counties in southern Jing. King Wei has sent an army to rescue Fancheng. Seeing that Fancheng is impossible, Guan Yu will definitely go south to retake the three counties, and even threaten Jiangdong. "

"What you said is reasonable, but besides understanding the crisis in Fancheng, what good is it for me to send troops? Besides, I have already negotiated peace with Liu Bei..."

"Hehehe, as far as I know, Duke Wu originally lent Jingzhou to Liu Bei, but Liu Bei has been holding on to it and never repaying it. How can it be considered a breach of trust if Duke Wu takes it now?"

"Huh? So the king of Wei let me take Jingzhou?" Sun Quan chuckled.

Jiang Ji shook his head: "Jingzhou was acquired by King Wei from Liu Biao, how can Duke Wu take it for himself?"

Sun Quan was a little angry: "What do you mean?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Wu. The intention of the King of Wei is that each of the two families will take Jingzhou. Whoever occupies it first will return it. If Mr. Wu takes Xiangyang first, he will be the master of Xiangyang. The King of Wei has no other words."

Does it belong to whoever grabs it first?Sun Quan is sure to grab Jiangling first, but Xiangyang is hard to say. "What if the two armies arrive at the same time?"

"At the same time, Duke Wu will take it first, within one month. If Duke Wu can't get it, King Wei will go to battle. If it is still not available within a month, Duke Wu will go to battle again, and so on."

It was fair, Sun Quan didn't expect Cao Cao to make more concessions, he could only hope that Lu Meng's attack speed would be fast enough.This is different from the original idea, can Lu Meng do it?

In Xiangyang, Ma Liang is also losing his temper. Ma Liang, who has always been gentle, is severely reprimanding Fu Shiren. General Guan asked you to cross the river to grab food without dissuading him or reporting him. Isn't this a passive situation in Jingzhou?It's nothing more than robbing food, but he even made his own decisions, plundering and plundering to enrich his own pockets. Isn't this bringing hatred to Jingzhou!
Fu Shiren refuses to accept, Jiangdong Wugou, what's the big deal if you just rob it?If you don't grab food, what will the army eat.

Ma Liang didn't have the right to dispose of Fu Shiren yet, so he had to drive him back to the police, ordering him to be careful not to make any mistakes.

A few days ago, Guan Yu sent people to escort Zhu Ling and Dongli Gun, and Ma Liang personally interrogated them. Dongli Gun confessed that Hou Yin's rebellion had been put down.Now that there was another incident of grabbing food, Ma Liang felt more and more uneasy.After thinking about it, he left Zhao Lei to guard Xiangyang, and personally escorted 5000 people to transport grain and grass to Fancheng, and he wanted to discuss it with Guan Yu.
