Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 316
"What clever plan does Ziming have?" Sun Quan looked at Lu Meng meaningfully after speaking, thinking that there must be a way to deal with what you said.

Lu Meng asked, "How does my lord want to divide Jingzhou?"

Sun Quan stroked his purple beard and was stunned, "Uh, of course it would be better to share more. Such rich places as Nanjun and Changsha."

"Ahem, I want everything my lord wants? I'm afraid it will be more difficult. Even if Liu Xuande can agree, Guan Yu and the others will not follow orders." Lu Mengxin said that this appetite is too great.

Sun Quan smiled awkwardly: "What suggestion does Ziming have? Otherwise, we should go to Nanjun, Jiangxia, Changsha, and Wuling first? Then we can all occupy the Yangtze River."

Lu Meng frowned and said: "The main force of Jingzhou is concentrated in the hands of Guan Yu in Jiangling. Even if it is a sneak attack, it is very difficult to succeed, but Jiangxia is easy to take. In addition, according to the Changjiang News, the four counties in Jingnan are relatively prosperous now. For a considerable amount of mineral deposits, it is better to find a way to get Jiangxia, Changsha, Guiyang, and Lingling, and we can just use the Xiangshui River to demarcate Liu Xuande."

Sun Quan nodded solemnly, "The Yangtze River News portrays Jingnan as a painting, and we don't know what the real situation is. It's just our wishful thinking. Neither Liu Bei nor Guan Yu can agree?"

"It is rumored that Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang entered Sichuan one after another and took away most of Jingzhou's troops. Now Jingzhou only has a small number of garrisons, especially Jingnan counties only have 4000 to [-] people. As long as we can send troops to capture with thunder, Liu Bei was not willing at that time. It’s no good, unless we break up with us and attack, Cao Cao in the north will not miss his chance, and he might not be able to keep his newly acquired Yizhou.” Lu Meng sneered.

Sun Quan leaned back and said happily, "Zi Ming made it clearer, how can we attack with thunder? Guan Yu's attack power should not be underestimated."

Lu Meng went to the map hanging in the commander's tent, pointed to Jiangxia, an important town in the east of Jingzhou, and said: "Fu Shiren has become very close to the lord recently. If we use the strategy of attacking Guo, we can take Jiangxia lightly, and then our Jiangdong warship Shuojiangxi will attack the police. If Guan Yu finds out, they will fight near the police, if they are not found, they will take down the police and go straight to Jiangling."

"Ziming, wait a minute. Didn't you mean to take Changsha, Guiyang, and Lingling? Why do you want to go to Jiangling to provoke Guan Yu?" Sun Quan asked curiously.

Lu Meng smiled and said: "The purpose of attacking Jiangling is to attract Guan Yu's attention. My lord can send land troops out of Jianchang and Haihun, take Changsha first, and then attack Guiyang and Lingling. At that time, Guan Yu will not be able to look at both sides. Wuling can be included in the bag."

Sun Quan was stunned for a while, and then said with relief: "It is indeed true that you should study more. This strategy of attacking east and west is really well used. Ziming will definitely surpass Zhou Gongjin in the future and become my No. 1 general in Jiangdong."

"My lord, thank you." Lu Meng clasped his fists in thanks.

Sun Quan frowned suddenly again, "Then Changsha and Guiyang are fine. The prefect of Lingling is a brazen Lantian. Gao Shun's army is in his hands. It may not be easy to take down Lingling."

Lu Meng believed that he had the chance to win, and said nonchalantly, "How many years has Lu Bu been dead? It should be flattered to fall into the camp. My lord, why don't you send someone to Jiaozhou to ask Ziheng (Lu Fan) and Ziqi (Wei Jing) to send troops to Guizhou?" Yang, Hao Pu's defenders are too few and he will definitely ask Lingling for help."

"Tune the tiger away from the mountain? I am very pleased that Ziming can focus on the overall situation." Sun Quan couldn't hide his joy.

"It's all about the lord's good teaching. This matter has to be deployed as soon as possible, and it must be kept secret, otherwise the governor will go there," Lu Meng reminded.

Sun Quan nodded, "Hurry up and prepare for Jiangxia's affairs, I'll send people to Jiaozhou right away, how about asking them to send troops in March?"

Lu Meng calculated that there was still a month to go, and there should be enough time to deliver the letter on the road. He bid farewell to Sun Quan and then went to Ling Tong's camp.

General Jiangdong prepared supplies and warships. By the end of January, Sun Quan had not yet sent troops. Lu Su thought that soldiers are expensive and fast, so what is the delay?
"My lord, now that the warships are ready and the armor is sufficient, when shall we cross the river and attack Wancheng?" Lu Su approached Sun Quan for instructions.

Knowing that Lu Su was coming, Sun Quan saw him leaning on the table and rubbing his forehead with one hand, and said with some pain: "It is still winter, and I have been infected with the wind and cold. I should put the soldiers' health first, and wait for the spring to bloom." It’s not too late to leave.”

"My lord, it's been a few days since everyone gathered, so why wait like this?" Lu Su thought in his heart that if it was delayed, everyone would have to harvest rice.

Sun Quan nodded and said, "Zijing is now training his soldiers, and he will be invincible when he is on the battlefield."

"only."

Lu Su did not have independent military power like Zhou Yu, and he had to get Sun Quan's consent to lead troops, so he could only obey Sun Quan's orders at this time.

One morning in early March, Lu Su inspected the pier and found that hundreds of warships were missing, and thousands of soldiers under Lu Meng and Ling Tong were also missing. The scouts at the pier told them to sail west. Rush to the city to meet Sun Quan.

"My lord, the camps of Ziming and Gongji are empty, and there are hundreds of warships missing from the pier. They haven't reported their whereabouts to me. Now they are going to Jingzhou without permission. Did something happen?" Lu Su asked suspiciously. .

Sun Quan nodded slightly, "There is news from Jingzhou in the west that there seems to be a change in Cao's army in Xiangyang, so I asked Ziming and Gongji to inquire about the news."

Because of the Yangtze River News, Fu Shiren had had a heated fight with Jiangdong in recent months. Lu Su immediately guessed the source of the news, Jiang Xia, and then asked suspiciously: "But while Cao Jun's attention is in Jingzhou, we will immediately send troops to capture Wancheng, and then It won't be too late to rescue General Guan."

"Zijing go get ready, we will send troops in two days." Sun Quan waved his hand.

"Wei." Lu Su nodded in response, not understanding why Sun Quan sent two generals out to inquire about the news when the battle was imminent.

Lu Meng and Ling commanded a few troops westward, and a day later the warship docked at Jiangxia Wharf and notified Fu Shiren to come to the army.

Because of the Yangtze River News, Fu Shiren had a good relationship with Jiangdong, so he took wine and meat to the pier to express condolences. When he arrived, Lu Meng and Ling Tong had already disembarked and were waiting at the Linjiang Pavilion where Guan Yu, Lu Su, and Lantian used to meet.

Guan Yu asked Fu Shiren to guard Jiangxia, and he could report to Jiangling in time when the warships were mobilized. At this time, Lu Meng's warships were not many, so Fu Shiren didn't take it seriously.

Following Guan Yu's example, Fu Shiren held a banquet for Lu Meng at the Linjiang Pavilion, and set Jiangxia's best food and wine on the table. He also mentioned that Lu Su had also been here.

After several glasses of wine, Fu Shiren asked curiously: "Where is General Lu going?"

"I have nothing to do when traveling on boats and horses. I heard that Cao Ren in Xiangyang has changed. I plan to use the Han River to find out." Lu Meng replied.

Fu Shiren laughed and said: "General Lu must have misinformation. General Guan has a patrol boat in Hanshui River. I haven't heard of any disturbance in Xiangyang."

"My lord has a life, I can't help myself." Lu Meng signaled Ling Tong to toast while speaking.
