Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 537

When Lu Fan heard that Lan Tian was engaged in trade, he instantly remembered that he had been cheated by him, so he added with contempt: "This guy in Lan Tian is greedy, and his business is nothing more than making money. He is now guarding the side and must want to seal his wife's shadow." Son, how can you still think of contributing to Liu Bei?"

"It can't be said that way. Lantian built a lot of granaries in Jiaozhou, maybe it's just to supply grain to Jingzhou." Sun Quan interrupted Lu Fan. After so many failures, his pride somewhat subsided.

"It doesn't matter whether he supplies food or soldiers, as long as he can guard the mouth of Dongting, the food and grass hoarded by Lantian are for us." Lu Meng showed a sly look in his eyes.

Sun Quan stroked his beard and nodded, "Zi Ming's plan is very thorough, but Dongting Shuikou's first line of troops is unstoppable. Gan Ning in Changsha is brave and good at water warfare. I have seen that all the generals in the battalion do not have this ability."

"Is it really not possible for me to go?"

Lantian "extorted bribes" before driving him out of Jiaozhou. Lu Fan regarded him as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh, so he took the initiative to invite Ying.

Sun Quan looked at Lu Fan, then shook his head and said, "This sneak attack on Jingzhou is tantamount to breaking with Liu Bei. I want to go to Jiangxia to dispatch troops from all walks of life. Ziheng, you have to go back to Jianye to stabilize the rear for me. You can't let those gentry Hold back the front line."

"How about Old General Han?" Lu Fan pushed Han Dang out again.

"Old General Han is commendable for his loyalty and bravery, but he is still a little weaker than Cheng Gong (Cheng Pu) in commanding the army alone. In fact, Ziming should have no problem defending Dongting, but he also needs a good general to take Jiangling." Sun Quansilai Want to go, still feel no one available.

Lu Meng thought about it for a while, then bit the bullet and bowed and said, "The last general can hold one person for a great job."

"Oh? Who is Qingju?" Sun Quan became interested in an instant, and Lu Fan also showed anticipation in his eyes.

"My lord, the right-hand governor and side-general Lu Boyan." Lu Meng's tone was firm, and he looked directly at Sun Quan with clear eyes, as if telling him that I did this out of public interest.

"Bo Yan is indeed a great talent, but he is currently in Poyang to suppress the rebellion against Shanyue."

"My lord, Lu Boyan has finished suppressing the rebellion and recruited [-] Shanyue rebels. He met me at Chaisang Wharf and is currently waiting to return to you at Ruxuwu."

Seeing Sun Quan's hesitation in his words, Lu Meng interrupted him regardless of etiquette.

Sun Quan was taken aback after hearing this, and forgot about Lu Meng's rude behavior, so he turned his head and looked at Lu Fan for confirmation.

Lu Fan nodded and replied: "General Lu did arrive at the same time as the governor, and is currently resting in the dock, waiting for the lord to summon him."

Sun Quan stared at Lu Meng, thinking how did you get mixed up?His frown is still tangled.

These years, Huaisi military generals and Jiangdong gentry, Sun Quan asked himself that the balance is very good, if you hook up together, where will I be placed?
Just when Sun Quan was hesitating, his confidant Hu Zong suddenly opened the door and walked in. It turned out that Jiang Ji had ordered the post soldiers to stay around the clock, and now he had returned from Xudu to send the emperor's edict. He also led the Jingzhou animal husbandry and was granted the title of Marquis of Nanchang.

The emperor's edict of awarding rewards was Cao Cao's sincerity. Sun Quan was determined to turn against Liu Bei and seize Jingzhou. He rolled up the edict and told Lu Fan in a deep voice, "Ziheng, let Bo Yan come to see me."

"Wei." Lu Fan cupped his fists and retreated.

"Weize (Hu Zong), send a letter to Jiang Ji on my behalf, saying that Jiang Dong is willing to help, but let them keep it secret, and don't let Guan Yu get wind of it and run away." Sun Quan said again.

"Wei." After Hu Zong answered, he turned and left.

After a while, Lu Fan led Lu Xun to see Sun Quan.

The two sides exchanged greetings, Sun Quan went straight to the point, asked Lu Meng to explain his plan, and asked Lu Xun to talk about his views. The purpose was to test the teacher on the spot.

Lu Xun pondered for a long time in front of the wall map, and then slowly said: "The general governor's plan is fine as a whole, as long as it is improved a little, we can be sure of victory. This time is indeed a good opportunity for us."

"Since Bo Yan made such a statement, there must be a perfect method. Please try to say it." Sun Quan asked.

Lu Xun nodded, "Lantian in Jiaozhou is very strategic, and if he is not handled properly, he will easily cause serious problems. His existence was ignored in the last battle of Changsha, so the second army has a heavy responsibility, and we must find a way to distract him. "

"How to disperse?"

This time it was Lu Meng's turn to be anxious. Although he said that he was not afraid of falling into the army, in fact he had no confidence at all, like the kind of intangible enemy who didn't know how to deal with it.

Lu Xun pointed to a place on the map, which was the area bordering Jiaozhou and Yangzhou.

"The south of Yangzhou is as desolate as Jiaozhou. One of the lords can let Lu Dinggong (Lv Dai) send troops to Luling, and then let people pretend to be Shanyue bandits, and wait for the opportunity to invade Longchuan County in Jiaozhou to make trouble. Lantian will definitely send troops to conscript If there are few troops from Lantian, they will be eaten directly, and if there are many troops, they will use the advantage of the mountains to avoid fighting; secondly, they can send people to pretend to be businessmen to sneak into Guangzhou City in advance, and after Lantian sends troops to help Jingzhou, they will immediately cause chaos in the city.” Lu Xun smiled and told his plan.

"Wonderful, let Lv Dinggong's suspicious soldiers restrain him, and cause chaos in Guangzhou city. Even if Lantian can deal with them one by one, he will definitely miss the opportunity to rescue Jingzhou." Lu Meng was overjoyed.

Sun Quan and Lu Fan were also amazed when they heard this, Lu Xun is really extraordinary.

Just when the few people were happy, Lu Xun continued to throw out his own thoughts: "Although Jiangling is the seat of Jingzhou, after the Battle of Chibi, the population there has been greatly reduced. I really want to find a way to transfer the Changsha defenders away, it is more stable for us to take Changsha directly than to hold Dongting."

Lu Meng frowned and shook his head: "Although I have been showing weakness, Guan Yu still keeps Gan Ning on guard. How easy is it to transfer the defenders from Changsha?"

"That's because Guan Yu is still wary. If the opponent's wariness is completely eliminated, let alone Gan Ning's Changsha garrison, the remaining garrison in Jiangling may be transferred away." Lu Xun smiled slightly.

"Ziming is so humble, it doesn't work, Bo Yan really has a way to 'tune the tiger away from the mountain'?" Sun Quan couldn't sit still, he, Lu Fan and Lu Meng all gathered in front of the map.

Lu Xun twitched his beard and replied: "Although the governor has been showing weakness, I personally think it is not enough. Isn't the governor now claiming to be sick and returning to Jianye? My lord, why don't you just pretend to replace him? Choose another person who Guan Yu will despise to succeed, At that time, only a few flattering letters are needed, and Guan Yu, who has an arrogant personality, will definitely fall into the trap."

"Wonderful, Bo Yan's plan of deceiving the world and crossing the sea, Guan Yu will definitely be difficult to resist, the lord can adopt it." Lu Fan agreed.

"The successor needs to be more alert, and the lord needs to choose the general carefully." Lu Xun reminded.

Sun Quan and Lu Meng looked at each other, and then said solemnly: "Bo Yan has a well-thought-out plan, and the governor is naturally none other than you."
