Since there are great interests at the forefront, Sun Quan's actions have always been very fast.
Within a few days, an edict written by Sun Quan himself was delivered to Lu Xun.
Lu Xun was overjoyed after reading the contents of the edict.
Yu Fan, who was standing by, saw Lu Xun's face was happy and asked, "Why is the general so happy?"
Seeing Yu Fan's curious look, Lu Xun was in a good mood and directly handed Sun Quan's edict into Yu Fan's hands.
After reading the contents of the edict, Yu Fan had a look of surprise on his face.
Yu Fan was delighted that Lu Xun's plan was approved by Sun Quan, but was surprised that Lu Xun seemed to have the ability to predict the future.
"I didn't expect that before I could write to His Majesty to request troops, Mi Yang would silently help me."
Although Sun Quan was in the main hall before, he gave Lu Xun great autonomy in using troops.
But in war, defense and offense are two different things.
Especially if he wanted to attack Jingzhou where Mi Yang was in charge, Lu Xun must get Sun Quan's permission for such a major event.
Lu Xun had been worried about this before.
Lu Xun's words made Yu Fan's face even brighter.
At the same time, there was some teasing look on his face.
"I have to admit that Mi Thieves are indeed good at using surprise troops. If there is no definite news, Fan will not believe that Mi Thieves can actually come up with a tactic of switching from defense to attack to attack Bowang by surprise.
But things in this world have advantages and disadvantages.
Bowang was captured by the Mi thieves, which allowed the thieves to gain the initiative in the Jingbei area.
But as His Majesty said in the edict, Bowang will become a useless piece of land to contain the thieves.
There is only one bandit, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Jingzhou. When both parties are contained in the north of Jingzhou, it is the best time for our army to attack Jingzhou in a large scale."
Although Yu Fan's words are a bit hindsight, at least his analysis is still very reasonable.
Seeing that Yu Fan was quite insightful, Lu Xun planned to give Yu Fan another surprise.
After Lu Xun signaled with his eyes, a servant soon delivered a piece of information to Yu Fan.
Yu Fan realized that this message might contain important information.
So he opened the information in his hand and read it as quickly as possible.
As Yu Fan expected, the content of the intelligence did surprise him a little more.
"A few days ago, the thieves secretly transferred the public security guards to Jingbei?"
After realizing this great joy, Yu Fan stood up excitedly.
A few days ago!
It seems that the reason why Mi Yang mobilized the public security garrison was to prepare for the next attack on Xuchang.
Taking precautions for everything is indeed in line with Mi Yang's style.
Mi Yang's move invisibly helped Wu Jun a great favor.
Because the news was so unexpected, Yu Fan asked suspiciously:
"General, is this news absolutely true?"
The reason why Yu Fan was suspicious was that he had a fear of Mi Yang in his heart.
Fear leads to lack of confidence.
But Lu Xun didn't have this problem.
Facing Yu Fan's inquiry, Lu Xun smiled and said:
"Although Public Security Guard Guan Ping has been trying his best to conceal the news, some things become more suspicious the more they are concealed.
Besides, Guan Ping has a loyal character. Without Mi Yang's orders, how could he have rashly done such a dangerous thing?"
Although Lu Xun was saying that Guan Ping had a loyal character, he was actually saying that Guan Ping was not good at resourcefulness.
It is unlikely that a person who is not good at resourcefulness would use such deceitful tactics.
Lu Xun's words made Yu Fan put aside his doubts.
Soon, Yu Fan's mood became excited.
"If this news is true, then our army should dispatch troops as soon as possible!"
But Yu Fan's suggestion did not get Lu Xun's approval.
"Not urgent."
"Most of Mi Yang's troops are still in Yiyang. His next move has not yet been made clear. Our army cannot act rashly.
The best time for our army to send troops is when the Han army and the Wei army are at war."
Lu Xun's words made Yu Fan thoughtful.
But there was one thing Yu Fan still didn't understand.
"Although a fierce battle with the Wei army will take up most of the Mi thieves' energy.
But if the bandit hears that Jingzhou is in danger, given his character, it is not impossible for him to take a decisive action of abandoning his soldiers to save his chariot."
Yu Fan's concerns are justified.
Although the current situation is somewhat similar to that of Guan Yu's first battle with Xiangfan, there is one huge difference.
The biggest difference in this point is that the Wei army at that time was unparalleled in momentum. They had no lack of heroism and were able to hold Guan Yu's army firmly on the frontal battlefield.
Only in this way, even if Guan Yu later learned that the public security was about to be attacked, he was still unable to decisively withdraw his troops because he was worried about the safety of Jingbei, so Mi Yang finally had the opportunity to appear.
But today is different from the past.
Even though there were no folk songs circulating in Cao Wei that were afraid of Mi Yang, Yu Fan could tell through common sense that the Wei army, which had experienced several defeats, had long lost the courage it had in previous years in front of Mi Yang.
Otherwise, why would Cao Xiu be hiding in Wancheng with his army?
With this difference, once Mi Yang decisively withdraws his troops from Jingbei, will Cao Xiu be concerned about the friendship of the alliance and not hesitate to take risks to attack Mi Yang from the front?
Most likely not.
And if Cao Xiu did not lead his army to respond in Jingbei, then Mi Yang, who had no worries, would be able to lead his army back in time before Lu Xun captured Gong'an.
Lu Xun was very satisfied when he saw that Yu Fan could think of this.
It was just something Yu Fan could think of, so how could he not think of it?
"Zhongxiang, you may have misunderstood my intention.
I want to attack Jingzhou and regain the lost territory.
But I never thought that I could capture the Public Security City in a short time.
What I think is that as long as Mi Yang can lead his army to block the main road between Jingnan and Jingbei before he can return to defense.
If this can be done, it will only be a matter of time before the public security forces are surrounded by our army and they can be captured."
Hearing what Lu Xun said, Yu Fan understood instantly.
If Lu Xun had this purpose, then whether Mi Yang would return to the defense would indeed pose little threat to the Wu army.
Because even if Mi Yang can return to defense in time after receiving the news, this move will definitely take some time.
During that period of time, as long as the Wu army was prepared, they would have been able to block the major arteries in time before Mi Yang led his army back to defend the police.
Wu's navy was too powerful, and it was the flood season. Wu's mobility in Jingzhou was no worse than that of the cavalry on the plains.
But soon another doubt arose in Yu Fan's mind.
"If this is the general's purpose, why doesn't he send troops now?"
Yu Fan's doubt made Lu Xun burst into laughter.
"I'm waiting for news.
I'm guessing whether Mi Yang is really in Yiyang County now!
Mi Yang is too cunning, I must be on guard against him.
And if Mi Yang is really in Yiyang..."
Having said this, Lu Xun stood up with his hands behind his back and said firmly:
"The opportunity for our army to wash away the shame of the past public security has come!"
Either don't move, or a movement will be a fatal blow.
Only in this way can we defeat Mi Yang, a powerful enemy.
