Three Kingdoms: I, Liu Feng, do not want to die

Chapter 80 The sky cleared and the rain stopped. Sun Quan thought I could win.
There is no constant situation in war.

Water has no permanent shape.

The situation in Jingzhou is not static.

Although the battlefield is changing rapidly, the essence remains the same. As long as the timing is right, it may be possible to seize the opportunity to deal a fatal blow to Sun Quan.

Liu Feng did not reveal his thoughts to others.

The battlefield is not a turn-based strategy game where you can use tricks to counter each other's tricks.

In order to successfully use the strategy of deceiving the city, timing is also needed.

Ancient and modern.

There are many people who died because of failed deception plans. Don't use tricks lightly when the time is not right.

While Liu Feng was advancing towards Jiangling City, he spread rumors widely.

Some soldiers were selected and sent to Jiangling City ahead of others in the name of "visiting relatives" or "deserting soldiers".

When the news reached Jiangling City, Sun Quan's already fair and handsome face turned even paler because of anger.

"Yu Jin, the thief, actually stopped fighting and made peace with Liu Feng!"

"The boy is treacherous. If he is not eliminated, he will become a great threat to Jiangdong in the future."

Before sending Yu Jin to Maicheng, some people advised Sun Quan to send a military supervisor, but Sun Quan ultimately rejected the idea.

In Sun Quan's view.

If Yu Jin is unwilling to try his best, the military supervisor sent by Yu Jin will be killed by him.

If Yu Jin was willing to do his best, the military supervisor sent over would easily arouse Yu Jin's suspicion.

Sun Quan wanted to use his personal charm to dispel Yu Jin's concerns, and use three days of dry food to restrain Yu Jin's double-mindedness.

In terms of planning, Sun Quan's considerations were actually very comprehensive.

That's the bad part.

Sun Quan underestimated Liu Feng's courage.

Even when food and grass were insufficient, they still dared to allocate military rations to Yu Jin, and they firmly believed that Yu Jin would obediently go to Fancheng after taking the military rations.

If Sun Quan were in Liu Feng's position, he would never dare to act like this!
Pan Jun, who offered the suggestion, blushed with embarrassment.

He was confident in his plan, but the result was a waste of time.

Pan Jun felt ashamed and confused at the same time: When did Liu Feng become so resourceful?

Pan Jun was proud of his talent and always looked down on Liu Feng.

In Pan Jun's eyes, Liu Feng was strong but lacked wisdom and strategy, and at best he had some cleverness that was not worthy of being shown on the stage.

And in fact.

If Liu Feng had not awakened his memories of his past life, Pan Jun's judgment would be correct.

But there are no ifs in the world.

Liu Feng, whose memories of his past life were awakened, had completely changed in his behavioral logic.

Pan Jun used his preconceived impression of Liu Feng to carry out his plan. Knowing himself but not the enemy, it would be strange if he could predict success.

"Your Majesty, this is my fault." Pan Jun bowed his head and apologized to Sun Quan.

Sun Quan did not blame Pan Jun.

When Sun Quan adopted Pan Jun's strategy, he also considered it carefully.

It was also beyond Sun Quan's expectations that Yu Jin would stop fighting and make peace with Liu Feng.

"Chengming, don't blame yourself. This is not your responsibility. It's just that Liu Feng was too cunning." Sun Quan comforted him with kind words.

At present, the people's hearts in the city have not yet stabilized, and Sun Quan still needs Pan Jun to serve wholeheartedly. Naturally, he will not be harsh on Pan Jun just because Pan Jun's advice was wrong at the moment.

Before Sun Quan and Pan Jun could come up with a plan, Yu Fan arrived again and said, "Your Majesty, rumors are spreading again in the city, saying that Liu Feng's army came to Jiangling to denounce Your Majesty's cruelty and to show the righteousness of Commander Lu."

Sun Quan was stunned: "Liu Feng, you little brat, are you scolding me for being unkind? What tricks are you playing again, Liu Feng, you little brat?"

Sun Quan's intuition told him that Liu Feng's coming to Jiangling must have some other conspiracy.

Yu Fan then informed Sun Quan of all the information the scouts had obtained.

Rumors such as "Lü Meng is Guan Yu's old friend", "Lü Meng suffered from a serious illness and stopped Sun Quan from looting Jiangling", "Lü Meng did not harm the people of Jiangling", "Lü Meng treated the families of the people well", "Sun Quan was suspicious of Lu Meng", "Sun Quan let Lu Meng patrol the city in the cold wind despite his illness" and so on were circulated in the city.

For example, old rumors such as "Lü Meng is seriously ill and about to die", "Guan Yu's army broke through Lukou", "Liu Bei's army arrived at Zigui", and "Sun Quan wants to plunder Jiangling and force the people of Jiangling to flee to Jiangdong" were revived in Jiangling City.

After listening to Yu Fan's statement, Sun Quan was so angry that he clenched his fists and his nails dug into his palms.

"Little Liu Feng, I will kill you!"

Sun Quan is not stupid.

Liu Feng obviously wanted to force Lu Meng to show up again to dispel the rumors, but due to Lu Meng's current condition, he would die if he showed up!
For Sun Quan, Lu Meng cannot die now.

If Lu Meng died, the rumors in the city would become as fierce as a tiger, and even with Pan Jun, he would not be able to calm the people's hearts.

Jiangling City is indeed easy to defend but difficult to attack.

However, no matter how strong a city is, once it collapses from within, it will become fragile.

"Zhong Xiang, tell the soldiers in the Governor's Office not to let Ziming hear the rumors. If anyone dares to leak the secret, he will be executed immediately!" Sun Quan was murderous.

The sound of gnashing teeth made Yu Fan and Pan Jun's scalps tingle.

Yu Fan did not dare to be careless and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will personally go to the Governor's Mansion to pass on the order."

Sun Quan became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He ordered Pan Jun, "Chengming, I'll leave it to you to quell the rumors in the city. I'm going to send troops to capture Liu Feng's child alive, only then can I vent my hatred!"

Pan Jun was worried that Sun Quan, who was furious, would fall into his trap, so he advised: "Your Majesty, rumors are spreading again in Jiangling City, and the people are uneasy. We must be careful that Liu Feng will collude with the traitors to seize the city."

"I think that before the rumors die down, we can temporarily close all the gates, impose martial law throughout the city, and deploy soldiers to patrol the city and investigate the traitors. Liu Feng doesn't have much food and grass, and now we have divided some food and grass with Yu Jin. At most, Liu Feng's food and grass will be exhausted in a month."

"When their food supplies run out and their morale is disrupted, Your Majesty will send troops out of the city and we will surely be able to capture them alive."

Sun Quan was still furious: "I have 30,000 troops in Jiangling, why should I be afraid of Liu Feng? Maicheng is too far away and I dare not send troops to seize it, but now Liu Feng is seeking death to seize Jiangling. This is a godsend opportunity!"

"If I don't even dare to go out of the city to fight, how can I reassure the people of Jiangling? Chengming, there is no need to persuade me anymore. You stay in the city to appease the people. I swear to capture Liu Feng's child."

Sun Quan hated Liu Feng deeply. Now in Jiangling City, in addition to Sun Quan's 30,000 Wu soldiers, there were also more than 30,000 Wei prisoners of war, Mi Fang's surrendered soldiers, and the surrendered soldiers from Maicheng.

Therefore.

If he divided his troops to attack Maicheng, which was a hundred miles away, Sun Quan did not have the courage to do so.

But if he had to fight Liu Feng outside Jiangling City, Sun Quan was full of confidence.

Pan Jun wanted to say something but stopped.

If Pan Jun had not anticipated Yu Jin's mistake, he would have urged Sun Quan to stay in the city and defend the city.

Pan Jun, who made a mistake in his calculations, has no right to make irresponsible comments on victory or defeat.

Sighing secretly, Pan Jun stopped trying to dissuade him.

Inwardly, Pan Jun was worried: [I was too hasty to surrender to Sun Quan before the situation was clear. Although it was forced by the situation, it was also due to my unclear planning. Now I have captured an old colleague who was loyal to Liu Bei to show his loyalty. I can no longer turn back. I must find a way to keep Jiangling, otherwise the Pan family will be in danger.]

Sun Quan didn't know what Pan Jun was thinking.

At this moment, Sun Quan had no intention of guessing what Pan Jun was thinking.

Drums sound.

Han Dang, Zhu Ran, Zhou Tai, Xu Sheng, Ding Feng, Ma Zhong, Quan Cong and other officers and soldiers arrived upon hearing the drum beat.

I heard that Liu Feng was leading his troops here.

Han Dang, Zhu Ran, Zhou Tai, Ding Feng, Quan Cong and other officers who had never fought with Liu Feng all requested for orders.

Xu Sheng and Ma Zhong lowered their heads and remained silent.

Xu Sheng was nearly killed by an arrow from Liu Feng, and he even dropped his weapon in order to escape.

Ma Zhong was teased by Liu Feng like walking a dog, and he didn't dare to fight Liu Feng again.

Sun Quan glanced at Xu Sheng and Ma Zhong who were keeping their heads down and saying nothing, with a hint of dissatisfaction.

However, Sun Quan could not rebuke the two men for being cowardly because of the presence of all the generals. He decided to appoint Quan Cong as the main general, Ding Feng, Xu Sheng and Ma Zhong as deputy generals, and the veteran general Han Dang as the reinforcement, and lead a total of 20,000 troops out of the city.

Quan Cong was the son of Quan Rou, an old subordinate of Sun Ce, and also a direct descendant of Sun Quan.

When Guan Yu besieged Cao Ren in Fancheng, Quan Cong also submitted a memorial to the emperor proposing a plan to attack Guan Yu.

Now Lu Meng is critically ill, Lu Xun is in Zigui, Pan Zhang is on his way to attack Linju, Sun Jiao is in Lukou, Jiang Qin is in Miankou, Gan Ning is recuperating in Chaisang, and people like Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Chen Wu, Dong Xi, and Ling Tong have already passed away.

Sun Quan did not have many capable generals and officers at his disposal.

The direct line of officers and soldiers died out, leaving a lack of successors.

Therefore, this time Sun Quan appointed Quan Cong as the main general, Ding Feng, Xu Sheng and Ma Zhong as deputy generals, and let the veteran Han Dang lead the battle, hoping that Quan Cong could make great contributions so that he could be promoted in the future.

Quan Cong has another identity recorded in history. After Zhou Yu's son Zhou Xun died, Quan Cong married Sun Quan's daughter Sun Luban and became Sun Quan's second son-in-law.

Quan Cong was also excited about Sun Quan's respect and trust, and immediately vowed to capture Liu Feng alive.

Sun Quan also encouraged his words and personally poured wine for Quan Cong to show his favor. He also gave Quan Cong a military staff to help him lead the troops.

After assigning military duties to the generals.

Sun Quan left Quan Cong alone again and warned him, "Zi Huang, Liu Feng is a treacherous boy. You have little experience in battle. You should consult with General Han more often. Don't take advantage of your favor and ruin my plans."

Quan Cong swore: "Your Majesty, please be at ease. I have been familiar with the art of war since I was young, and I have led troops to wipe out the Shanyue."

outside the city.

Liu Feng's army camped on a flat area twenty miles away from the city.

Dong Hui carefully surveyed the terrain of the camp and went into the commander's tent to advise: "General, the terrain here is wide and flat and easy to walk on, which is a taboo for camping. It is better to go three miles to the left and camp in the mountains and forests. This will not only hide the troops but also prevent the enemy from raiding the camp."

All the officers in the tent laughed.

Dong Hui glanced at the officers in confusion and asked, "I have been with you for a long time. You always explained the key points to me when we set up camp, and I have some experience in camping. Now I see that the general is setting up camp differently from what you said and different from the previous camps, so I am confused. Why are you all laughing?"

Guard General Li Ping said: "I don't mean to mock you. We also asked you something just now. This is a trick by the general to show weakness and test the enemy's skills."

Dong Hui was even more suspicious: "Although Lü Meng is critically ill, Sun Quan still has capable generals under his command. If we show weakness like this, I'm afraid it may not work."

Liu Feng stared at the map on the table and said without raising his head: "If the enemy general believes it, he will take advantage of the opportunity to attack the camp, and I can see his ability to dispatch troops; if he does not believe it, I will not suffer any loss."

"Although Sun Quan sent his generals out of the city, the flags concealed him, and the scouts could not find out who the commander was. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and knowing your enemy ensures victory in every battle. Showing weakness to the enemy and testing their tactics will allow you to respond accordingly."

"If my army is too powerful and the Wu generals are frightened after one battle, Sun Quan will not dare to send his generals out of the city again; Jiangling is a strong city, if Sun Quan chooses to defend it, even if you come, you can only sigh at the city."

"Our army is short of food and fodder. We cannot delay for too long. If we do, our army will collapse and Jingzhou will be completely taken over by Sun Quan."

Dong Hui suddenly realized.

Jiangling City was built under the supervision of Guan Yu. The city is high and the water is deep, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even if Guan Yu came, he would have to look at the city and run away.

It so happened that Sun Quan relied on his large number of soldiers and sent many generals out of the city. If the generals sent out of the city by Sun Quan were frightened in one battle, Jiangling City would become a tortoise shell.

This was not the result Liu Feng wanted.

We have to give Sun Quan some confidence and let him have the illusion that "I can win" so that we can take advantage of the opportunity.

After carefully studying the map on the table.

Liu Feng issued military orders one by one:

For example, order Li Ping and Kou Anguo to lead their troops to hide in the woods three miles to the left after dark, and rush out when they hear shouts of killing in the camp. If they do not see any ambushes from the enemy, they will withdraw their troops back to the camp.

For example, if Fang Yue, Pan Feng, Yu She and Mu Shun were ordered to wait in the ambush camp, they would charge out when they heard the drum sound, and if they saw the enemy's ambush, they would withdraw their troops back to the camp.

For example, ordering the grain officer to move the grain and fodder to another place.

For example, he ordered the lieutenant to dig several large pits around the general's tent, cover them with brittle twigs and soap cloth, and cover them with mud as a concealment, and then arranged a team of soldiers to lurk on both sides with hemp ropes.

And so on.

All the officers and soldiers under his command were responsible for arranging military affairs.

It's dark.

The lights around the general's tent were as bright as day, casting a shadow inside the tent. There was also a large flag standing against the wind, as if afraid that no one knew the location of the general's tent.
