Sun Lu's face turned white and white. He touched the knife ring several times and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. He just looked at Lu Xun with a gaze. Lu Xun was very calm, even though Wei Ba looked at everyone several times in front of everyone.

He provoked, his eyes didn't fluctuate, and it was as deep as a pool of water at this moment.

"Zhongshan, take the map."

Lu Lan responded, took the map and spread it on the table. Lu Xun glanced at Sun Lu: "Prince, what do you think you should fight?"

Seeing Lu Lan get the map, Sun Lu was secretly happy. At this moment, he heard Lu Xun ask him how to fight, but he became a little nervous. He bowed and said, "Wu doesn't know about military affairs, and everything is only given by the general."

Lu Xun's face was calm, and he could not see any joy or any unhappiness. He just said lightly: "The king asked the prince to come to the army, so he naturally wanted to train the prince. With such a practical opportunity, why not express his opinions directly?"

Sun Lu blushed and didn't know what to do. He was determined to fight, but he knew better that he had never been in the battle and would never be able to make any suggestions to make Lu Xun praise him. Lu Xun must say more meaning

It is a warning to let him know himself.

Lu Xun is not like those martial artists who draw their swords and scream at all times. He never intimidates anyone, but if you think he is a good-tempered person, you are wrong. The better he is to treat you, the more you should be careful. Back then,

He led a large army to fight against Liu Bei for the first time. He endured many generals disrespectful to him, but who later was not ruled by him?

Looking at Lu Xun's calm gaze, Sun Lu felt that his shoulders seemed to be pressing against a mountain, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his rosy face turned pale. Lu Xun saw it and then he turned it on

He moved his eyes to one side, stretched out the Yu Ruyi in his hand, and drew a line along the Han River.

"From Xiangyang to Xiakou, three or four hundred miles long, there are places where the Wei army can cross the water. Although the Wei Navy was broken, it was easy to build one or two floating bridges." Lu Xun held his hands behind his back and was in the tent.

Slowly paced and softly explained the current battle situation. Although he did not look at the map, the direction he mentioned was accurate, as if the map had been engraved in his mind. "The main force of the Wei army is in Nanyang, and Sima Yi belongs to

The 30,000 troops are the 30,000 imperial guards beside the Emperor of Wei. In addition, there are 50,000 troops on standby at any time in Xuchang. If we add the 50,000 troops outside Tongguan, the troops in Longyou, and the Yangzhou Man Chong belongs to

In the Southeast War Zone, the total force of the Wei State mobilized more than 200,000. Prince, do you know what this means?"

Sun Lu thought carefully: "Has the Wei State almost mobilized all its troops in the 200,000 army?"

"Although it's not all, it's not far from each other." Lu Xun continued: "Our army is 50,000 and the Shu army is 30,000. It can last for half a year or even a year, and it won't have much impact. However, the Wei State can't hold on for too long.

,They consume too much, so I hope they will fight quickly, not us."

Sun Lu's eyes flashed and he didn't say anything.

"From the current situation, the best way is to wait." Lu Xun turned around and looked at Sun Lu, saying every word very clearly: "The longer you wait, the more beneficial it is to us,

Our Wu Kingdom is beneficial."

Sun Lu nodded slowly. He understood what Lu Xun meant. The whole country of Wei State mobilized, and the 200,000 troops were gathered to prepare for war, which would inevitably affect farming, and the longer the delay, the more unfavorable it would be. The troops used by Wu and Shu

Although it is not small, it will not affect farming and can last longer. The longer the delay, the more unfavorable it is to Wei State, and the more obvious the advantages of Wu and Shu will be. Among them, Wu State has the most benefits.

Lu Xun meant to wait. He didn't need to convince others, and of course he didn't need to convince him. There was only one person he wanted to convince: his father, Sun Quan. The reason why he said these words to him was that he hoped he could

His meaning was conveyed to his father.

"But Wei Ba couldn't see this, or he saw it, so he didn't want to wait." Lu Xun changed his tone and seemed a little helpless. "Prince, do you know what he was thinking?"

Sun Lu shook his head.

"His target is not Xiangyang. Because he knows that he is unable to compete for Xiangyang, and he cannot even occupy Fancheng. The battle in Xiangyang is of no benefit to him." Lu Xun chuckled and stared at Sun Lu and asked:

"But why did he fight?"

Sun Lu seemed to understand something, but was not sure.

"His purpose is to drag the Wei army to Xiangyang and let us fight another fierce battle. No matter who wins or loses, the Wei State is temporarily unable to attack Guanzhong. In this way, they will have more time to manage Guanzhong."

Lu Xun sneered: "He didn't want to help us seize Xiangyang, he wanted us to fight against the snipe and clam, and he would be the fisherman. As long as Wu and Wei fight, no matter who wins and loses in the end, it will only benefit him."

Sun Lu looked shy, and then he understood why Wei Ba was so passionate. It turned out that his intention was here. So, wouldn’t he be used by them?

"But, he said nothing wrong." Lu Xun sighed lightly, feeling helpless: "This time, it is indeed the best opportunity for us to seize Xiangyang. If we miss this opportunity, I think there may not be any more in the future.

Now.”

"General, what do you mean?" Lu Lan asked in surprise. Lu Xun explained Wei Ba's intention in detail. He thought Lu Xun didn't want to fight, so he wanted Sun Lu to understand the truth. However, after Lu Xun's words, it seemed that Lu Xun would also like to say Lu Xun.

I don't want to miss this opportunity.

Lu Xun waved his hand and told Lu Lan not to be nervous. "Wu, Wei, Han and the Three Kingdoms, whether it is an allies or enemies, there are always more conflicts than interests. Wu, Han and Han wars have also had many battles, and Shu Han suffered a lot of losses. The reason why they did not send troops now

Attacking us is just a lack of strength. The conflict between the previous two days is just the beginning, and one day we will really start a war."

"From the safety of our Great Wu, it is of great significance to seize Xiangyang." Lu Xun finally concluded: "So, even though we know that Shu Han was not good at it, we could only try it out. This may... was the last time Wu and Shu cooperated.

”

Lu Lan sighed and said nothing. Sun Lu stuttered and said nothing. He understood that Lu Xun originally wanted to slowly draw it, but unfortunately Wei Ba did not give him this opportunity at all. If Lu Xun was still there tomorrow

Without launching an attack on Xiangyang, he withdrew his troops. Lu Xun did not want to give up this great opportunity, so he could only follow Wei Ba's plan.

"If we want to take Xiangyang, we must ensure the safety of the Han River. If the reinforcements of the Wei army arrive when the army attacks Xiangyang, we must return without success." Lu Xun narrowed his eyes slightly: "Shu Han is not trustworthy,

We must put this task on our shoulders. Prince, I would like to ask you to go back to Jiangling and report the situation here to the king. Please make sure to arrange troops to control the Han River, otherwise, Xiangyang will definitely not be able to conquer it in the end. Instead,

Why not give up now."

Sun Lu understood and quickly got up to accept the order. Lu Xun immediately wrote a letter, which Sun Lu brought to Sun Quan. Sun Lu immediately left the camp and rushed to Jiangling to meet Sun Quan. After seeing Sun Lu away, Lu Lan refused.

He asked with an explanation: "General, do you really want to attack Xiangyang?"

"You have to fight. As for the extent of the fight, it depends on the situation." Lu Xun snorted: "Wei Ba wants to hold the Wei people, but I also want to hold him back. Whoever uses who will still use each other in the end will still be with each other.

It depends on their own means.”

Lu Lan laughed: "He is just a slutty boy, a little clever, and has made some military achievements. How could he be the general's opponent?"

Lu Xun glanced at him: "Zhongshan, if you think so, it would be very dangerous. This person is very skillful in changing conspiracies and plots, and it is definitely not something that a reckless young man can do. His superficial actions

Py, it’s just what he wants you to think.” He sighed: “As a young age, I know that I am showing weakness to others and not fighting for superficial intentions. Such an opponent is very terrible, we must be vigilant. If possible…

"He paused: "It would be best to kill him before he could achieve great success, so as not to develop a major problem."

...

Wei Ba returned to the camp and received a report from the scout the next morning. Lu Xun did not delay any further this time, rushed to the city of Xiangyang, set up a camp, and set up a siege. Although he did not launch an attack immediately

, but all kinds of preparations were in an orderly manner. He also sent people to cross the Han River to discuss various cooperation matters with Wu Yi.

Although Wei Ba was not completely relieved when he saw this scene, he breathed some relief. No matter whether Lu Xun was true or false, as long as he arrived at the city of Xiangyang, Sima Yi would probably not be indifferent. The approach of the Wei army would further suppress him.

When the Wu army started a war, it was not so easy for Lu Xun to withdraw.

Facing Lu Lan, Wu Yi's chest slapped loudly. Don't worry, we will cooperate with you in the battle. To the west of Fancheng, we promise that there will be no Wei army breaking through the Han River. If you have any problems, we can also help.

To make up for the last misunderstanding.

After some politeness, Lu Lan expressed his real purpose: he hoped that the Shu army could conquer Fancheng and defend the city to ensure that Sima Yi's reinforcements could not quickly cross the Han River and interfere with the Wu army's actions to attack Xiangyang.

Wu Yi hesitated. After Lu Lan's persuasion, he discussed with Meng Da and Wei Ba for a long time before finally reluctantly agreeing.

Lu Lan returned with satisfaction.

As soon as Lu Lan left, Wu Yi tore off the disguise and cursed Lu Xun for being insidious. Meng Da also smiled bitterly and shook his head repeatedly. However, Wei Ba was prepared for it, and he knew that Lu Xun would not be so happy. He looked at Meng Da and smiled:

"General Meng, the siege tactics you have practiced hard can finally come in handy."

Meng Da curled his lips: "It's a pity that if we attacked Xiangyang, how great it would be."

"General Meng, don't worry, we will have a chance to attack Xiangyang. Now, let's practice with Fancheng first." Wei Ba smiled and said, "Fancheng is better than Xiangyang. I want to see, we took Fancheng, Lu Xun

Can you retract your head?"

Wu Yi and Meng Da smiled knowingly after hearing this.
