Ma Di didn't care about Lu Xun's attitude. He stepped forward and ordered the four major generals to bring the two thousand surrendered troops into the camp. After a round of screening, only five hundred of them were dispersed and incorporated into the army.
The other 1,500 people will be under the sole control of Yang Wanwan. Under Yang Wanwan's leadership, they will undergo a month of devil training and brainwashing in order to achieve the goal of being completely loyal to the Lu family.
Since the structure of the Wu army is composed of the national army and the generals' private armed forces, the ratio of soldiers on both sides is about nine to one. Therefore, among the 50,000 soldiers under Pan Jun's command, there are only 5,000 personal soldiers belonging to Pan Jun, and the other 40,000
Five thousand soldiers were transferred by Sun Quan.
The number of personal soldiers is the core and foundation of whether a Wu general can control an army. If there are more personal soldiers, the general's control over the army will naturally be higher, and vice versa.
Of course, this is not the point. The point is to capture Pan Zhu first, and then make Pan Jun surrender and sit down and talk calmly.
Today's Pan Jun is no longer the loyal Shu minister he was back then, but Taichang, an important minister of Wu State. Ma Di is not really sure that he can convince him.
Since Pan Jun surrendered to Sun Quan, he has been one of the highest-ranking officials of the Wu Kingdom stationed in Jingzhou. The two core areas of Soochow are Jingzhou and Yangzhou. Because of the long distance, Jingzhou was handed over to Lu Xun, and Pan Jun was in charge of military and administrative affairs.
The two governed Jingzhou together.
Now, Lu Xun has been incited to rebel, and his position has been replaced by Zhuge Jin. Therefore, Ma Di also had the idea of inciting Pan Jun to rebel.
This is just a way to repay Lu Mengce for his rebellion against Mi Fang and Fu Shiren.
From the perspective of Shu Han, how could he not say this? How could he not avenge Jingzhou?
However, Pan Jun brought a lot of troops this time, a full 50,000, and they were all infantry. If there was a fight, the Lu Army had little chance of winning.
Even if we win, I'm afraid it will be a miserable victory.
Therefore, the best policy is to subjugate the enemy without fighting.
In the afternoon, when the detailed steps of the sneak attack plan were being arranged, Lu Xun looked at Axiu with a particularly solemn expression, but he did not raise any objections. Instead, he suggested that the sneak attack originally scheduled for tomorrow night be rescheduled to tonight.
Lu Xun had heard of Axiu's name and ability, and also knew that the latter was one of Ma Su's wives. Now he was the master of the Xiqiang, with hundreds of thousands of Xiqiang people under his command, and his power should not be underestimated.
Ma Su was willing to send his wife to offer advice, obviously determined to win.
This is also the reason why Lu Xun did not refuse the unified army and went to the Wu army's west camp for a sneak attack.
Even his wife was willing to send him as an undercover agent, so he naturally had nothing to fear.
Ma Di agreed to Lu Xun's proposal.
First, he gave instructions to Axiu Yinyin, and then explained to Huang Xi, Li Sheng, and Zhang Xiu. Then, he watched Axiu lead four soldiers, riding their horses towards the northeast, and quickly disappeared into the mountains and forests.
between.
When the sky darkened, Lu Xun led three generals and 1,500 soldiers and set off to attack the west mountain pass.
Xishankou is where the Wu Army’s Xizhai camp is located.
At this time, the torches in Wu Jun's camp were brightly lit.
General Pan Zhu was sitting boredly in the tent, drinking some wine and watching the fiery dance of the dancers accompanying the army, feeling a little bored.
The women in front of me were too ordinary, with average looks and average figures, so their dancing postures were also very average.
But there is nothing he can do, this is already the best quality artist he can find.
When I was depressed, a soldier suddenly came to report: "A pretty girl came from outside the camp. According to the escorting soldiers, she was dedicated to the general on the order of General Pan Mi."
"Oh? My second brother really understands what I mean. How wonderful! How wonderful! Come and invite me soon!" Pan Zhu felt refreshed, sat upright, and looked out expectantly.
The young general is full of energy, and it is really difficult for him to march and fight.
After a while, Axiu Yingying, dressed in a gorgeous dress, came forward, bowed and saluted: "Axiu, a civilian girl, has met the general."
Just by looking at her figure, Pan Zhu's eyes lit up. He knew that this girl must be beautiful and the best in the world. He immediately stretched out his hand and said softly: "Raise your head."
Axiu raised her head shyly, half-covering her face with her sleeves, and turned her side to Pan Zhu, showing off her charm to the fullest.
Pan Zhu stared straight at him on the spot.
This was the first time in his life that he saw such a mature woman, her every frown and smile showed her charming nature.
Axiu smiled, swung her long sleeves, and started dancing in the tent. The other dancers stood behind her intuitively, keeping up with the rhythm and swaying together.
Pan Zhu gradually came back to his senses and began to appreciate it with relish.
a long time.
Axiu stopped her movements, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and waited quietly in the hall, serving something that made people's index fingers move.
Pan Zhu waved his hand to dismiss the girls, stood up and came to Axiu's side. Just as he was about to take action, he suddenly heard Axiu whisper: "I can also dance with a sword. Can I borrow the general's sword?"
"Oh? You can also dance with a sword. The general needs to show it to you." Pan Zhu took off his sword and handed it over, not afraid of the hidden dangers of this move.
Axiu drew out her sword and danced twice, showing a sneer at Pan Zhu, then turned over lightly and put the sword blade on the latter's neck.
Pan Zhu flicked the blade with his finger, turned sideways and shrank his neck to avoid the blade. Just as he was about to distance himself and launch a counterattack, the long sword was raised again like a shadow.
At the same time, Axiu shouted coldly: "If you dare to act rashly again, you will be killed on the spot!"
The movement in the camp attracted all three thousand soldiers in the camp. When they saw a woman holding the general Pan Zhu hostage and walking out of the camp, they heard exclamations one after another.
Only Pan Zhu's face was ashen.
Soon, the two lieutenants were also attracted. They passed through the layers of soldiers and saw the situation outside the commander's tent at a glance. As veterans, they immediately realized that this was not a joke.
General Pan Zhu was captured alive by spies.
The two lieutenants were only nervous for a moment and then calmed down quickly.
They immediately ordered the soldiers to form a fan shape and surrounded A Xiu and Pan Zhu three levels inside and three levels outside. The deputy general on the left shouted sternly: "That female assassin, you have been surrounded. It is difficult to fly today. Put down your weapons quickly and let go of my family."
General, maybe we can spare your life. Otherwise, you will be turned into powder in a matter of seconds."
The right lieutenant general echoed loudly: "Yes, you are only one person, how can you come and go freely among my three thousand troops? Those who know the truth, quickly abandon your sword and restrain your hands!"
A Xiu ignored the two lieutenants, tightened the sword in his hand, and shouted to Pan Zhu: "Tell them to put down their weapons!"
Pan Zhu hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said: "No, if you want to kill me, kill me. I, Pan Zhu, am by no means a coward who is afraid of death. If I fall into your hands today, I have nothing to say. Let's do it."
"good!"
"General, be tough!"
"If she dares to touch a hair of the general's body, I will tear him into pieces!"
Ula Ula Ula——
There was a huge crowd and the military camp was noisy.
Axiu tightened her sword again, and the sharp blade cut Pan Zhu's skin. A drop of blood rolled down the blade and dropped to the ground with a "pop" sound.
The two lieutenants quickly raised their hands to stop the angry soldiers, and began to discuss among themselves.
"Brother, what should I do? If you force her like this, the general's life will be in danger."
"Well, just ask me casually. Why does she come here? What are her conditions?"
The right deputy general turned his head, looked at Axiu seriously, and asked: "Madam, what do you want to do to let my general go?"
Axiu said briefly: "Everyone put down their weapons and surrender."
The veins on Pan Zhu's forehead visibly popped out. The two lieutenants looked at each other with a dark look on their faces.
Even if they put down their weapons, this woman will not be able to leave the camp.
Moreover, soldiers regard weapons as their second life. It is absolutely impossible for three thousand people to lay down their weapons and surrender to a woman.
If this kind of thing spreads, how can everyone still have the dignity to walk in the world? Just buy a piece of tofu and get killed.
What a shame!
"Impossible, don't think that you can do whatever you want by holding my general hostage! Our Dawu Military Camp is not a place where you can come and leave whenever you want!"
Axiu's eyes suddenly lit up, she looked behind everyone, and said with a smile: "I can't do it alone, so let's add them."
Hearing this, everyone quickly turned around to look.
At first glance, the faces of the two lieutenants turned green.
In the camp, a dense group of soldiers poured in from unknown time, forming a larger fan shape and surrounding all the Wu troops.
The leader, a man in Confucian shirts and turbans, was none other than the number one man in Soochow, the great general Lu Xun.
Behind Lu Xun, three mighty-looking rough ore generals were looking at him fiercely.
Oops, I'm surrounded by people in the camp!
Everyone who saw this scene felt heavy in their hearts.
Ever since they went on an expedition with General Pan Jun, they had always used their superior force to surround others. How had they ever encountered someone trapped in a camp and surrounded?
The two lieutenants said nothing and looked at Pan Zhu without saying a word.
Pan Zhu had no choice, his life was still in Axiu's hands.
Lu Xun cleared his throat and looked around at the crowd. He was a little puzzled. It seemed that the effect was not particularly good. After all, this group of Wu soldiers bowed without bowing?
Maybe it's because I haven't fought in three years and haven't shown the scene of beating people to the point of annihilation, so they no longer have any respect for me.
Lu Xun sighed.
"Everyone, who am I? No introduction is needed, right? Everyone recognizes this old face, right?"
The crowd was silent for a moment, and then the Wu soldiers burst into laughter.
Of course they knew Lu Xun, not only did they know him, Lu Xun was also their idol, or someone they admired.
But that was before.
Now that Lu Xun has left Soochow, he is no longer the God of War in their hearts.
Unless Lu Xun has enough reasons to convince them, I'm afraid there will still be a battle today.
Lu Xun naturally knew this, so he turned around and climbed up to the high platform, looked down at the surroundings, and said in a deep voice: "It has been twelve years since the traitor Cao Wei forced the Han Dynasty to take the throne in the 25th year of Jian'an in the Han Dynasty. Fortunately, God's will never stops.
Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty inherited the great rule in Xichuan and made the glory of the Han Dynasty immortal."
"We have been paid by the Han people for generations, and we have never betrayed the Han people. How can we do such treacherous and unethical things as helping thieves and separatizing Jiangdong? How will we show up to the Lieutenant in the future?
Ancestors?"
"In the past, I had lost my way and helped the thieves to severely damage the Han Dynasty. Later I found out that destiny was still in the Yan Han Dynasty, and I often regretted it. Fortunately, the heir of the Han Dynasty ignored the past and issued an order to send me an army to fight against the thieves. Lu Xun is extremely grateful.
I also hope that you will work with me to support the Han Dynasty, first pacify Jiangdong, and then attack Cao Wei, and help the Han Dynasty unify, and our name will go down in history!"
"With the strength of several counties in Jiangdong District, how can we hold one place for a long time? In a few years, we will eventually be at the mercy of the Han. You must not persist in your persistence and regret, which will affect your family and live with regrets for the rest of your life."
After listening to this sensible analysis, everyone present fell silent.
Lu Xun was right at least in one thing. With the current national strength of Soochow, it would be difficult to stop Wei from the north and Han from the west. It would eventually be annexed by one of the two countries.
In other words, judging from the current world situation, Soochow has become a dangerous ship.
What's more, even the most capable general Lu Xun ran away, so the soldiers naturally had no pressure to defect to the Han.
After a moment's hesitation, everyone dropped their weapons, bowed down from the stage, and shouted that they were willing to surrender.
Lu Xun looked up to the sky and laughed, suddenly having some enlightenment in his heart.
These words were something he had been brewing for a long time and did not come from Ma Di's instructions.
Although the two families secretly agreed that "horses and land share the world," Lu Xun knew that such rhetoric could not be put on the table.
Because there is no righteousness.
Even if we bring out Sun Quan's personal grudge for killing his grandfather, we cannot legally refute the legitimacy of Sun Quan's proclaimed emperor. Only by bringing out the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty can we fundamentally deny the Sun family's regime and give justice to his behavior of rebelling against Wu and "returning to the Han"
and rationality.
Of course, Lu Xun also realized that after returning, he had to talk to Ma Di again to show that the Lu family only obeyed the Shu Han in name. In return for obeying the Shu Han in name, the Shu Han would not be allowed to deal with the three continents of Jing, Jiao, and Yang.
To intervene, you must also provide certain assistance when necessary.
Lu Xun collected his thoughts, commanded the Lu family army to take over the camp, counted the number of people, and re-appointed the commanders of various ministries.
At this point, Wu Jun's west stronghold was lost, three thousand soldiers changed their ways, and Pan Zhu was made a prisoner out of frustration.
On the third day, before the news had spread, Lu Xun followed suit and captured Pan Zhu's younger brother who was stationed in the south alive, and successfully persuaded his five thousand soldiers to abandon Wu and return to Han.
(land).
With one operation, in just three days, the two southwestern villages of the Wu Army were eliminated, the siege of Wuling Man was broken, and the Lu family's troops increased from 1,000 to 11,000.
When the news reached Beijun Dazhai, Pan Jun was shocked.
The news that his two sons were wiped out and captured was so shocking that he could not calm down for a long time.
But things that shocked him even more happened one after another.
Another day later, news came that Lu Xun had successfully controlled the Wuling barbarians and subdued 30,000 barbarian soldiers.
As a result, Lu Xun's troops reached more than 40,000, while Pan Jun's troops were only more than 30,000.
Moreover, the two sons are still in each other's hands as hostages.
At the same time, Lu Xun sent a letter.
This letter is signed by Zhuge Liang, and it is stamped with the large jade seal of the Shu Han Dynasty (not a traditional jade seal).
In the letter, Zhuge Liang listed all the past events when the two were together under Liu Bei's account, and also wrote down the current national power of Shu Han in it, compared it with the national power of Soochow and even Cao Wei, and sincerely persuaded him to abandon the dark side and return to Ji.
Chinese.
After reading this letter, Pan Jun burst into tears.
Liu Bei treated him well back then. If it weren't for the rift with Guan Yu, he would never have surrendered to Wu.
But he didn't expect that after surrendering to Wu, Sun Quan treated him well and entrusted him with high-ranking officials and generous salaries, as well as important responsibilities including money, food, soldiers and horses.
Now, on one side is the call of the old master and the lives of his two sons, as well as the earnest invitation of his cousin Jiang Wan; on the other side is the "heart-to-heart support" of the new master Sun Quan.
