Sun Ben defended Nanchang to the death and stayed behind closed doors, forming a fierce rivalry with the Donghu camp.
Zhuge Liang led an army of only 20,000 men, while Sun Ben had more than 10,000 men. Although his strength was slightly inferior to Zhuge Liang's, it was not far behind.
Such a comparison of strength was obviously not enough to allow Zhuge Liang to freely attack Nanchang. Sun Ben had to be lured out of Nanchang.
The most direct way is to attack the East Lake Camp. After all, once the East Lake Camp is destroyed, Nanchang will become an isolated city. Sun Ben dare not not save it.
In the next two days, Zhuge Liang ordered people to go into the mountains and forests to harvest wood and build offensive equipment.
"Military advisor, Xingan County Magistrate Zhou Feng asks for an audience." Zhuge Liang, who was discussing military affairs with Xu Shu, Yang Yi and others in the tent, suddenly heard the guard's report and couldn't help but be slightly startled.
"If Zhou Feng doesn't stay well in Xingan, why did he come to me?" Zhuge Liang wondered in his heart. He did not break his promise to Zhou Feng. He captured Hanping during the eastward march, and after conquering the counties in Xingan, he immediately reported to Zhou Feng
Try to guard Xingan County Magistrate.
"Bring him in." Zhuge Liang said.
"promise."
Zhou Feng was led into the tent by the guards. Facing Zhuge Liang who was sitting on the main seat, he respectfully worshiped: "Young man Zhou Feng, I would like to pay my respects to the military advisor."
Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, and Yang Yi looked at each other and smiled, and couldn't help but remind Zhou Fengdao: "I am now the lord of a county, guarding a territory of hundreds of miles for the country's shepherd, how can I call myself a villain anymore?"
"Little..." Zhou Feng hurriedly changed his words and said: "In the countryside, there are vulgar people who don't know etiquette and make the military advisors and other gentlemen laugh."
Zhuge Liang invited Zhou Feng to sit down and asked straight to the point: "You abandoned the county and the temple and came to see me without knowing why?"
Zhou Feng replied: "I am entrusted with the post of county magistrate by the military advisor. I am very grateful. I just wish I could follow you around and kill the enemy and make achievements. Knowing that the military advisor was focused on Nanchang and had no time to look eastward, I made my own decision and sent troops eastward to capture Linru.
."
"Huh?" Zhuge Liang looked slightly surprised. Linru County is located to the east of Xingan County. Because it is not on the march route, Zhuge Liang did not send troops to occupy it. Zhou Feng was a bandit and was never a peaceful person. He sent troops to occupy Linru privately.
You, Zhuge Liang are not too surprised.
"After I conquered Linru, I captured the envoy of Sun Fu, the governor of Luling, in the city, and found a letter written by Sun Fu to Sun Ben on his body." Having said this, Zhou Feng took the letter out of his arms and handed it to Zhuge Liang.
, with a look of pride on his face.
It seems that the envoy Sun Fu was also unlucky. There were two main roads between Luling and Nanchang, passing through Xingan and Linru respectively. When the envoy Sun Fu knew that Xingan had changed hands, he changed his route to Linru, but he still could not escape.
One calamity.
Zhuge Liang opened the letter and took a quick look at it, and couldn't help but laugh. He also asked why Sun Ben did not resist and allowed him to drive all the way to Nanchang. It turned out that he wanted to let Sun Fu sneak attack Yichun from behind and cut off his retreat.
Unfortunately, no matter how good his calculations were, Sun Ben could not guess that the Jingzhou army still had a force to attack Luling from the south.
This letter from Sun Fu was intended to tell Sun Bi that the southern part of Luling was attacked by the Jingzhou Army. The situation in Luling was very bad at the moment. He had to protect himself first and was temporarily unable to attack Yichun.
"Yuan Zhi, take a look..." Zhuge Liang handed the letter to Xu Shu who was beside him.
"Could it be that the military advisor wants to use this letter to make a big fuss?" Xu Shu scanned it quickly and handed the letter to Yang Yi, who was sitting next to him.
Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "Yes, we can pretend to be attacked in Yichun, make the soldiers in the camp clamor, and mobilize a large number of troops to come back for reinforcements. When Sun Ben finds out about this, he will definitely not be able to bear it, and there is a high probability that he will come out in full force.
Fight with me."
Xu Shu nodded secretly, thinking that this strategy was feasible, and the probability of Sun Ben being fooled was extremely high.
Their original plan was to attack the East Lake Camp to lure out Sun Ben. However, although the East Lake Camp was newly built and poorly prepared, it was still a heavily defended camp. If they attacked it by force, the losses would not be small. Sun Ben would then send troops to attack it.
Later, it is easy to focus on one thing and lose sight of the other.
In comparison, Zhuge Liang's strategy was much better, luring Sun Ben to take the initiative to fight.
Yang Yi also believed that this plan was feasible.
Zhuge Liang said to Xu Shu and Yang Yi: "Yuanzhi, Wei Gong, you two are responsible for this matter." Xu Shu is careful in his thinking and has no confusion in his dealings; Yang Yi is quick-witted and courageous in doing things. Only by leaving it to them can Zhuge Liang feel at ease.
"No." Xu Shu and Yang Yi stood up to accept the order.
Zhuge Liang turned his eyes back to Zhou Feng and praised: "In just ten days, he has made great achievements in succession. He is truly a blessed general of our army. I think it won't be long before I have the opportunity to achieve the title of Two Thousand Stones. Please continue."
effort."
When Zhuge Liang said two thousand stones, he was of course not referring to captains, generals and the like who were more powerful than two thousand stones, but to the governor of a county. Of course, Zhuge Liang said this just to encourage Zhou Feng, who was still far from the position of governor.
Woolen cloth.
But Zhou Feng believed it and said with a grin: "With the good advice of the military advisor, if I can get two thousand dan, my family will be among the famous surnames in Yichun."
"Encourage it." Zhuge Liang smiled.
The next few days passed calmly, and counting the time, it was almost time to "receive" the "news" from Yichun. Under the personal supervision of Xu Shu and Yang Yi, the officers and soldiers of the Jingzhou Army started to make noises one after another, and all the camps were in uproar.
There was such a big commotion here, and naturally it was immediately noticed by Jiangdong Army scouts, and the news was quickly spread back to Nanchang. After hearing this, Sun Bi was overjoyed and thought to himself: "Could it be that Guoyi (Sun Fu) has already sent troops to capture Yichun?
Even if they haven't attacked yet, they must be attacking very urgently, otherwise why would the Chu thieves be in such a panic?"
Most of the civil and military officials in Yuzhang were at a loss. Sun Ben was afraid that the news would be leaked and the plan would fail, so he did not tell anyone. The only people who knew about it were a few close confidants. Even the meritorious Cao Liu Yi and the facial features Xu Ping were not disclosed.
Although the two of them are his right-hand men in governing Yuzhang, at this critical moment, he really has no confidence in them.
If Liu Yi could persuade Hua Xin to give up resistance and come out to welcome Sun Ce, wouldn't he betray him? Xu Zong, Xu Ping's elder brother, had surrendered to Liu Jing. Who knows if Xu Ping had the same idea?
These scholars who came from Yuzhang's wealthy family would consider their family first and the monarch secondly. If submitting to Liu Jing would be beneficial to their family, they would not hesitate to abandon Sun Bi and fall into the arms of Liu Jing at the critical moment.
Sun Ben did not explain much and called all the civil and military personnel to rush to Songyang Gate Tower to observe the enemy's situation.
The Jingzhou Army camp was stationed several miles south of Nanchang. The distance between the two sides was quite far, so it was difficult to see clearly. Fortunately, the scouts kept sending back news, and the Jingzhou Army camps started to be in an uproar one after another. However, the situation did not get out of control. Under the comfort of the enemy generals,
, the camps have gradually settled down.
Although the civil and military officials in Yuzhang did not know what happened to the Jingzhou army and were disappointed when they saw that there was no camp roar, Sun Ben was confident.
At night, the scouts suddenly came to report that the Jingzhou army was secretly mobilizing troops and horses, and the situation was unknown.
