Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 536

Lv Meng's succession as governor was full of twists and turns. Because of Sun Quan's reason, he didn't get enough prestige, so he wanted to do something earth-shattering to make his name.

Lu Su's previous defense area was in Jiangxia County, and he was responsible for maintaining the relationship with Guan Yu in Jingzhou. He also paid attention to the movements of Cao Jun in Xiangyang and Fancheng, mainly to contain Sun Quan's main force.

Lu Meng wanted to do great things in Jiangxia. In addition to following Zhou Yu's example and defeating Cao Ren and Lu Chang to capture Xiangyang, he also defeated Guan Yu to capture Jingzhou for Jiangdong.

When I took office, I was also in Chaisang, and I also met Lu Xun who went to Poyang Pingshanyue.

Lu Meng knew that Lu Xun was not easy, so he put aside the suspicion of factional antagonism and asked Lu Xun for advice on how to break Guan Yu.

Lu Xun then offered a strategy of arrogant soldiers, and asked Lu Meng to deliberately show weakness to Guan Yu, so that he could take advantage of the situation when there was a change in Jingzhou.

When they met again in Chaisang, Lu Xun boarded Lu Meng's boat, and spoke first, "I see the look of the governor, and he seems to be in a hurry. If you don't guard Jiangxia, is there something important going on in Jingzhou?"

"There is indeed a major event in Jingzhou. Guan Yu defeated Wenpin's navy not long ago, and now he has completely occupied the Han River. He is leading troops north to attack Xiangyang and Fancheng. I was still waiting for the opportunity, but the lord suddenly sent someone to call me secretly to Ruxu. Wu, could it be that something happened in Hefei?" Lu Meng was puzzled.

Lu Xun frowned and stroked his beard: "Based on what I know about my lord, even if the war in Hefei is unfavorable, it is impossible to call the governor there. Maybe it will have something to do with Jingzhou."

"How come?" Lu Meng asked back.

Lu Xun smiled slightly: "I'm just guessing, I won't know what's going on until I go."

"Where does Boyan want to go now?" Lu Meng changed the topic.

"Poyang Shanyue has all been pacified, and the [-] Shanyue tribes have also been tamed. I'm going to go back to Jianye to rest and return to my lord by the way." They answered one after another.

"My lord is now in Ruxuwu, why don't Bo Yan go with me?" Lu Meng suggested.

"My lord hasn't summoned me, so it's inappropriate to go rashly?" Lu Xun hesitated.

Lv Meng smiled and said: "The left and right are all returning orders, and the same is true for going to Ruxuwu. Maybe something big happens, and I can still find you as a staff officer."

"Uh, okay." Lu Xun finally agreed.

The two rested overnight at Chaisang Wharf, and went to Ruxuwu together the next morning.

When Lu Meng and Lu Xun arrived at Ruxuwu, they found that all the warships and soldiers attacking Hefei had assembled in the dock.

"Hasn't my lord sent troops for a long time? Why is it as if there was no war?" Lu Meng frowned.

Lu Xun shook his head and guessed, "Maybe there is something new in Hefei."

The two walked along the springboard to the shore with doubts. Lu Fan already knew that Lu Meng was coming through the scouts, so he had been waiting on the shore for a while.

"General Ziheng." Lu Xun clasped his fists and saluted Lu Fan.

Lu Fan looked at Lu Xun and just nodded slightly, then grabbed Lu Meng's hand and walked towards the dock, "Why did Ziming come so slowly? My lord has been waiting in a hurry these days?"

"What's the matter?" Lu Meng was confused.

"After seeing the lord, the governor will naturally understand."

Because Sun Quan did not authorize it to be disclosed, Lu Fan is still keeping the secret at this time.

Lu Meng broke away from Lu Fan and reminded: "General Lu also wants to return to the Lord."

"General Lu find a place to rest first, the lord will call you when he is free." Lu Fan turned around and instructed.

"Uh, I see." Lu Xun nodded.

Seeing that Lu Fan was so solemn, Lu Meng knew that Sun Quan had something serious to talk to him about. He hurried to Sun Quan's room, and finally knew the purpose of Sun Quan's summoning him, which was what he dreamed of doing.

After Sun Quan's brief introduction, Lu Meng patted his chest and said: "Jiang Ji's words are correct. This time is really an excellent time for us to take Jingzhou. Guan Yu doesn't have many garrisons in Jiangling. The main purpose should be to guard against the last general. The opportunity is also very great, even if Cao Cao does not give exact benefits, we should not give up the opportunity."

"Ziming, don't get too excited. Our Jiangdong is mainly dominated by naval forces. Now Changsha is guarded by Gan Ning, and the police are defended by Su Fei. It is not easy to raid Jiangling. Don't forget that Xuan of Jiaozhou Mr. Owl." Lu Fan reminded.

Lu Meng argued excitedly: "Originally the world was divided into three, Cao Cao was strong, Jiangdong was second, and Liu Bei was the weakest, but now that Liu Bei is the king, we have become the weakest side. If Guan Yu is allowed to attack Xiangfan again, Jiang Xia will be a thorn in Guan Yu's side When the time comes, the Jingzhou navy will sail down the river, and the entire Jiangdong may be hard to resist, so it's better to strike first."

"I'm also worried that it will develop like this. How sure is Ziming if he wants to attack Jingzhou?" Sun Quan asked.

Lu Meng thought for a while, and then replied: "Liu Bei has just experienced the battle of Hanzhong, if we can dispatch troops quickly, and Yizhou soldiers and horses cannot support in a hurry, what we have to face is only a small number of defenders, and Lantianyuan's army in Jiaozhou. "

Seeing Lu Meng pause, Sun Quan raised his hand to signal, "Continue talking."

Lu Meng pointed to the map hanging on the wall and analyzed: "If you want to fight a battle, you need to go all out. The first route is to block Guan Yu's grain road in the Han River with water troops; Stationed to block the reinforcements from Jingnan and Jiaozhou; the third infantry and cavalry landed from Wulin in those days, followed Huarong Road to the north to capture Dangyang first, and then went south to encircle Jiangling according to the situation, or went north to intercept Guan Yu's remnants. Army; the fourth route goes west along the Yangtze River to attack Zhanyiling, intercept possible reinforcements in the direction of Yizhou, and then return to the army to encircle the isolated city of Jiangling."

"Ziming, how many people from Jiangdong do you want to use?" Sun Quan frowned.

"Eight to 10 people." Lu Meng nodded.

Sun Quan gasped, and said to himself, do you really dare to ask me to bet most of Jiangdong's family fortune?
Lu Fan thought about it carefully, and asked: "The police have Su Fei's navy stationed there, how did the governor pass through his defense area smoothly? Needless to say, Gan Ning, the prefect of Changsha and the bandit, who will stop the entrapment army in Lantian, Jiaozhou?"

"Su Fei doesn't have many sailors. They can destroy the beacon towers by the river. Once they are lost, there is nothing to be afraid of. In addition, although the army in the formation is strong, it only has [-] people. As long as we firmly occupy the waterway, Lantian can't wear it." Armor to swim across the Yangtze River?"

In the past few years, Lu Meng has kept a low voice on the surface, but he has deduced the plan to take Jingzhou many times in his heart. If Lu Fan asks any questions, he basically has the skills to answer them.

Seeing Lu Meng's elated expression, Sun Quan felt a little more confident. He immediately echoed and said, "Ziming is indeed right about the army that fell into the formation. In the past few years, Lantian has been vigorously promoting schools and frantically encouraging folk trade, and there has not been much recruitment and training. For the new soldiers, the garrison in Jiaozhou is about 2 people."

"This guy from Lan Tian is very good at hiding, why is my lord so clear about his details?" Lu Meng was a little surprised.

"Jiaozhou is not a piece of iron barrels. No matter how cunning the black owl is, there are things that it can't see."

Sun Quan showed a cunning and cunning smile. In addition to Hu Ke's caravans often providing information, Sun Quan has sent hundreds of spies to Guangzhou City in recent years. The old city of Panyu settled down.

Sun Quan's inner monologue: Dare to blackmail me?I want to use his way to give back to him.
