Chapter 784: No Longer Guan Yun in the North Road
"This... is actually so mysterious..." Song Chen was shocked.
Lan Tian stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Your mouth is so powerful now. You made him believe that Lu Xun was a traitor so quickly, and you even wanted to pass it on to Jiangdong."
"Then this letter..." Song Chen asked.
"Let's talk about it two months later. Sun Quanzheng and Cao Ren are having a heated fight. Let's try not to affect him." Lan Tian nodded and analyzed.
Song Chen asked again: "What should we do with Sun Bu? Kill him or exile him to the island, or send him to hard labor?"
Lan Tian stroked his beard and pondered, and finally his eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Since this man is convinced that Lu Xun has rebelled, if he is lucky enough to return to Jiangdong, or can do something similar to Han Zong, you can temporarily imprison him in the dungeon of the Chamber of Commerce. I want to think about it."
When I think about how to reasonably let him escape..."
"Wei." Song Chen knew very well about Lucky Escape. It was he who tricked Han Dang's "fake followers" into escaping in Wuchang back then.
"Sir, the night is deep, shall we go back?" Gao Yuan reminded.
"That's fine." Lan Tian turned around and told Song Chen: "Everywhere is not peaceful this winter. I don't know how long the fighting in the north will last. Things in Jiaozhi must be accelerated. Find a few people to disguise themselves as Sun Bu and his servants and send them as soon as possible."
When we go to Hepu to meet up with Shi Zhi, we can release the news in advance and test the reaction of Shi Zhi’s family.”
"Don't worry, sir, I'll send some new faces over." Song Chen replied with his fists clasped.
Lantian then left the Jiaozhou Chamber of Commerce. The street was so quiet that there was only the sound of chirping insects. It was already past Haishi when he returned to the Prefecture's Mansion.
Lantian walked through the gate and headed straight to the back house from the road on the right side of the courtyard. On the way, he unexpectedly saw a faint light in the war room.
Who could it be at this hour? Lan Tian strode over, and the guard at the door was still standing guard.
"Who's in there?" Gao Yuandai Lantian asked.
The guard clasped his fists and replied: "Reporting to the commander, it is General Gao and the two young masters..."
Gao Yuan wanted to say something else, but Lan Tian waved his hand and said, "It's getting late. You should go back and rest. I'll go in and take a look."
"Wei." Gao Yuan watched Lan Tian enter, but still stayed outside without leaving. He asked the guard in a low voice: "When did they come? What time is it?"
The guard lowered his head in embarrassment and replied in a low voice: "They may have forgotten the time, but the general will not dare to rush..."
"Uh...you're right..." Gao Yuan patted the other party's shoulder, thinking that he didn't dare to urge him.
From the moment Lan Tian entered the house, Gao Shun, Lan Yuan, and Lan Ji all looked at the door. People who practice martial arts and lead troops are extremely alert.
"gentlemen..."
"Father..."
Lan Tian saw that Gao Shun was talking about tactics based on the sand table, so he smiled and joked: "Bo Ping, you didn't have enough fun at Huben Martial Arts Hall during the day, so you came to the war room at night to replenish your strength?"
Gao Shun smiled awkwardly: "Sir, you know that I don't teach in the martial arts hall at all. As for why I came to the war room tonight, sir, I have probably guessed it. This kid Zhong Ling has so much energy. He gets very excited when he hears about the war.
.”
"Father, Uncle Gao didn't explain something clearly. Can you tell us about the connection between these battlefields? How about giving us a small tutorial to make up for it?" Lan Ji laughed with a smile on his face.
"Ordinarily, Zhong Ling, you are still a student, so you should not be qualified to participate in the discussion of the ongoing military campaign, but as a father, you can make an exception for your son..." Lan Tian frowned at first, and then smiled when he mentioned his father.
"That's great." Lan Ji clapped his hands and almost jumped.
Lan Tian walked to the sand table, pointed at three places with a wooden stick and said: "Cao Wei occupies the nine states in the north. The terrain is flat, transportation is convenient, and the military and economic strength are strong. There is no way to counterattack the Central Plains with a small fight. If you want to
To break this situation, we must attack at multiple points. On the surface, the three battlefields of Qishan, Xiangyang, and Huainan started fighting at the same time. Cao Pi also deployed corresponding defenders to resist at the same time, but he didn't know where our focus was..."
"The rats from Jiangdong are all trash. Even if we don't mention the Huainan battlefield, Sun Quan will definitely be defeated by Cao Ren in the end." Lan Ji said disdainfully.
"Zhong Ling, don't interrupt. No matter how useless it is, it's better than nothing. Let's listen to father and continue talking." Lan Yuan frowned and reminded.
Lan Tian nodded affirmatively upon seeing this, "Boyang is right, the soldiers of Soochow are indeed inferior to Cao's soldiers, but if Sun Quan hadn't provoked trouble in Huainan this time, we wouldn't have been able to follow the trend and launch an attack. Sun Quan had restrained Cao Ren at this time.
, Zang Ba, fully favors 100,000 soldiers and horses, plus Jiangdong’s own 100,000 soldiers, which reduces the pressure of 200,000 soldiers for us. "
"Is it possible to settle accounts like this..." Lan Yuan felt incredible.
Lan Tian solemnly replied: "Don't forget that Sun Quan is also an enemy. He is only temporarily allied with us. If we make a breakthrough in the two directions, Sun Quan may 'relapse' again..."
"You still dare to come? You can't, right?" Lan Ji scratched his head and was speechless.
"You all listen to Sir, he knows Sun Quan better than anyone else." Gao Shun interrupted Lan Ji, and then asked Lan Tian: "From the battle reports obtained, Man Chong's troops are now wavering and have stopped their troops in Runan.
, at the junction of Yangzhou, he neither rushed to support Cao Ren nor returned to Shi Pingyu to garrison. What on earth was he thinking?"
Lan Tian analyzed, "No matter which battlefield you join, you cannot withdraw at any time. Man Chong should be waiting for orders. Whichever side is more dangerous, Huainan or Nanyang, Cao Pi will let him join..."
"After Zhuge Ziyu went to Xiangyang, General Guan personally led the main force of Xiangyang to the north to capture Rangxian County. The champion now seemed to be intending to move to the northwest, and seemed to cooperate with Meng Zidu (Meng Da) to attack Nanxiang, causing Zhang Wenyuan (Zhang Liao) to
"I'm in a bit of a dilemma now. Isn't this Sir's strategy?" Gao Shun asked tentatively.
Lan Tian smiled slightly: "It's beyond my reach. Not long ago I wrote to Yunchang last time. I heard that the king had also written to entrust him. Yunchang should know his mission, plus Yuan Zhi (Xu Shu) is in Xiangyang, Jingbei
They don't need to ask anyone for advice on all military deployments, they can handle them properly themselves."
Gao Shun nodded: "If Zhang Wenyuan does not send troops to help Xu Huang, Xu Huang will definitely ask Luoyang for help. General Guan pretends to invade the Central Plains. Cao Pi in Luoyang must be nervous. He may put pressure on Zhang Wenyuan.
But once Wancheng mobilizes troops to Nanxiang, Jiyang, Juiyang, and Nieyang in the south are not well defended, and they are likely to be attacked by Guanping and Pangde. I guess it is more likely that Manchong will return to the battlefield in Jingzhou..."
"Whether he comes back or not depends on Sun Quan's ability. In the past, General Guan blocked the northern route around Nanyang, which also delayed Cao Cao's subsequent reinforcements from going south. I didn't expect that it would be the same after so many years. I hope he can buy time for the king." Lan Tian frowned.
Lock.
"The three generals have marched out of Qishan. The King of Hanzhong and his companions should be arriving in Hanzhong soon..." Gao Shun murmured to himself.
