Others respected Liu Dun like a god, but Liu Dun knew his own family affairs. There was nothing magical about his divination skills. It was just that he was familiar with astronomy, geography, and good at reading people's hearts, so he could always be one step ahead and detect disasters. Even if his judgment was wrong,
Being able to excuse yourself by saying "the way of heaven is impermanent" all depends on your mouth anyway.
Liu Jing led the army of Jingchu State, attacked Yuzhang by land and water at the same time, and fought and won consecutive battles. It was unstoppable. It was impossible for one county or two counties to compete. Liu Dun was naturally not optimistic about Sun Fu's sending troops to the north, and he was using divination as a bad omen.
.
"..." Upon hearing that it was an ominous hexagram, Sun Fu's face suddenly became very ugly.
He lost his parents when he was young, but was single-handedly raised by his brother Sun Ben. The two brothers had a deep relationship. Now that his brother Sun Ben was forced by Chu thieves and was in danger, he would send troops to help no matter whether the divination was good or bad.
The reason why Liu Dun was asked to perform a divination was because he wanted to seek good fortune for this expedition, but unexpectedly, the divination revealed bad luck, which was really unlucky.
Sun Fuqiang laughed and said: "King Wu of Zhou attacked Zhou and predicted great disaster; Duke Wen of Jin also predicted disaster when he attacked Chu. However, both of them were able to defeat the enemy in the end. From this we can see that divination can be trusted but cannot be trusted at all."
Liu Dun knew what Sun Fu was thinking, so he followed his words and said: "Confucius said: 'What does the sky say? How do the four seasons move and how do all things come into being?' God does not say anything. The so-called divination is just using spiritual things to peek into the will of God.
, but how can one know everything about God's will? Good things can turn into bad things, bad things can also turn into good things, it all depends on the human heart."
Sun Fu stood up and said to Liu Dun: "My brother is in trouble and must be rescued. I plan to send three thousand troops to the north to attack Yichun. I also ask the military adviser not to tell the soldiers about the hexagrams, so as not to shake the morale of the army."
Sun Fu is Liu Dun's bread and butter, so naturally he will not undermine him. "Don't worry, Mingfu, I know what to do..."
The next day, Sun Fu immediately sent three thousand elite soldiers to the north. Of course, before sending out the army, he deliberately deceived the soldiers and said that the military division's divination was auspicious. This time the army was sent out, they would definitely win. The soldiers were all overjoyed when they heard this, and they all geared up and vowed to capture Yichun.
Sun Fucai sent off his troops, and the next day he received an urgent report from the south: Jingzhou troops were attacking along the Yuzhang River, with hundreds of ships and tens of thousands of soldiers. Nanye and Ganxian County were watching the wind and descending...
Sun Fu and Liu Dun were all dumbfounded for a moment. Why did another Jingzhou army appear in the south? Where did Liu Jing get so many soldiers and horses?!
The southern part of Luling is located in a remote area. There are few Han people but many powerful people in the mountains. They are disobedient to the government and prone to riots. It has always been a weak area for rule.
Sun Fu basically let the southern area of Luling go as he pleased, as long as there was no rebellion. There were only one or two thousand troops stationed there. Facing ten times the invading enemy, what could be done to resist it? It was foreseeable that it was only a matter of time before the southern part of Luling fell.
When Liu Dun thought that there were only two thousand soldiers left to fight in Luling, he felt his scalp numb.
It was because of the war that he fled his home plain. He fought in many places along the way and endured many hardships before finally settling down in Luling. He didn't want to be homeless again.
Liu Dun was so anxious that he hurriedly said to Sun Fu: "Ming Mansion, tens of thousands of Chu troops are attacking from the south. Luling has few soldiers and is not strong enough to defend itself. Ming Mansion quickly recalls the troops and horses heading north."
"This..." Sun Fu hesitated.
"Why should the Ming government hesitate?" Liu Dun couldn't help but stamp his feet and said, "Although Sun Yuzhang was at a disadvantage in the battle with the Chu army, he still had more than ten thousand soldiers under his command, and Nanchang was so strong that it would be difficult for the Chu army to capture Nanchang in a hurry.
, when Sun Tulu's reinforcements arrived, the siege of Nanchang was immediately lifted.
Liu Dun further analyzed: "On the contrary, the current situation in Luling is extremely dangerous. If the Ming Dynasty does not recall the troops heading north, when the Chu army sweeps across the south and comes along the Gan River, Luling will not be safe!"
After hearing this, Sun Fu's expression couldn't help changing. For a long time, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "If I don't help my brother, I really have too much time to take care of myself..." Then he sent people to chase back the army heading north overnight.
…………
Nanchang, which means "prosperous southern frontier", is said to have been built by Guan Ying, a famous general in the early Han Dynasty, so Nanchang is also known as "Guancheng".
The city wall of Nanchang is tall and strong, with a circumference of more than ten miles. It has six gates: South Gate, East Gate, North Gate, Gaomen, Changmen and Songyang Gate. It borders the Gan River to the west and the Great Lake to the east. The Great Lake is ten miles wide to the south.
Turning into Nantang, Nanchang is surrounded by water on three sides, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Since Sun Ben had secretly written to his brother Sun Fu, asking him to send troops to raid Yichun from behind, he did not block the enemy along the way, but allowed Zhuge Liang's army to reach Nanchang City unimpeded.
At this time, soldiers from all directions had arrived in Nanchang one after another. Sun Ben himself had ten thousand people to defend Nanchang, while Han Dang and Jiang Qin led four thousand troops. They were on the east side of the lake on the east side of Bietun, and they were at the horns of each other with Nanchang.
Sun Ben and Yu Zhang Wenwu stood on the Songyang Gate Tower in the south. Looking out of the city, they saw an army with bright flags and armor, many chariots and horses, and a prosperous army coming along the east bank of the Gan River. The sky was covered with smoke and dust, and the head and tail of the procession could not be seen.
.
Sun Ben observed for a long time, withdrew his gaze, and sighed to his left and right sides: "A partial army in Jingchu still has such strength. It is hard to imagine how elite the army led by Liu Jing himself must be. Taishi Ziyi used thousands of soldiers to fight against
Liu Jing had tens of thousands of elites, so it is not unjust to be defeated at his hands."
"Why should the Ming government have other people's ambitions? I don't think there is anything surprising about the Chu thieves. Why not take advantage of the Chu thieves' new arrival and their unsteady foothold to recruit daredevils to open the door and attack them in order to frustrate them?" The person who spoke began to speak.
It was Pan Zhang, the magistrate of Jianchang County, who said, "Zhang is willing to take the lead and risk his own life to raid the bandit army!"
Pan Zhang was born in Dongjun, Yanzhou. He was born in poverty, had a voluptuous temperament, was addicted to alcohol, and was extremely brave. He followed Sun Quan when he was just starting out at the age of fifteen. He could be said to be Sun Quan's "submissive minister". Therefore, after Sun Quan succeeded to the throne of Jiangdong, Pan Zhang
He immediately followed his rapid rise and served successively as Sima of other departments, assassinated traitors in Wu City, and then transferred to guard various counties.
"I've often heard that Pan Jianchang was licentious and boastful. When I saw him today, he certainly lived up to his reputation." Xu Ping, a man with five senses, said sarcastically from the side.
Pan Zhang was a rough man. He believed that he was Sun Quan's confidant. He often did his own thing and did not respect the laws. Xu Ping couldn't stand it. He accused him in front of Sun Ben several times, and the two became enmity.
Pan Zhang was furious when he heard this. He pressed the hilt of his sword with his eyes wide open. Xu Ping ignored him. He was from the Xu family in Yuzhang. How could he be afraid of Pan Zhang, a soldier? He said to Sun Ben: "The Chu army is holding an army outside the city.
Neat and well-disciplined, the Ming Dynasty is a man who knows the military. He should know that if he attacks rashly, he will be defeated but not victorious, which will seriously damage the morale of our army..."
Pan Zhang couldn't listen anymore, so he interrupted Xu Ping and asked: "You are so afraid of the enemy, do you want to imitate Xu Zong?"
When Xu Ping saw Pan Zhang teasing him about Xu Zong, his clan brother who had surrendered to Liu Jing, he was also furious. When he was about to fight back, Sun Ben hurriedly stopped him. The enemy was in front of him and there was a rift between civil and military forces. How could this be done?
Sun Ben comforted them respectively, and then took one of them by the hand and said solemnly: "Now the Chu thieves have arrived at the city, and Nanchang is in danger of overthrow. I hope that you can put aside your personal grudges for the time being, and unite to fight against the enemy."
"Nuo." Not only Pan Zhang but also Xu Ping, all civil and military officials on the left and right responded in unison.
Pan Zhang agreed, but there was still a sense of dissatisfaction on his face. Being so disturbed by Xu Ping, the proposal to attack naturally fell into disuse.
"Shu Ru! I will kill him sooner or later!" Pan Zhang said bitterly in his heart.
Zhuge Liang took a plain carriage and arrived outside Songyang Gate. Looking at Nanchang, where he had lived for several months in his youth, he felt filled with emotion.
When Zhuge Liang fled Nanchang with his uncle Zhuge Xuan, he only had a few servants, chariots, and oxen and horses. Today, when he returns to Nanchang, he has tens of thousands of people, thousands of boats and chariots, and thousands of horses.
"It's a pity that Nanchang is not his hometown..." Zhuge Liang sighed in his heart. Langya was the hometown that he always dreamed of. He didn't know when he would be able to truly return to his hometown in glory and glory.
Even though Zhuge Liang firmly believed that Liu Jing was the man who destined the world and had the appearance of dominating the world, he did not think that he could win back Xuzhou Langya in the short term.
Zhuge Liang murmured to himself: "First take Yuzhang and Luling, then take Jiangdong, and then we can plan for Xu and Yu, step by step..."
Zhuge Liang used himself as bait to ambush his elite troops. They stayed under the city of Xuchang for a long time, waiting and waiting, but never saw the enemy coming to attack.
Zhuge Liang smiled and immediately turned around and returned, digging a trench and building a camp in an open area near a water source a few miles south of Nanchang.
