"I miscalculated again." At the Luling Prefecture, Sun Yi took the information sent by the spies. He was stunned and sighed. Unexpectedly, he fell into Lu Rui's plan. It turned out that Lu Rui was not a trap at all. He set a trap at the crocodile's mouth, but he didn't have enough troops at the crocodile's mouth. In order to delay time, he just set up a suspicious formation. Originally, Sun Yi had a chance to retake Crocodile Kou, then destroy Crocodile Kou and prevent Lu Rui's army from stationing. However, now Lu Rui not only occupied Crocodile Kou, but also camped on the high ground northwest of Crocodile Kou. As long as Lu Rui is willing, The army can go north at any time to capture An County. As long as An County is defeated, Lu Rui's army can go straight to Chaisang County. "Brother, don't worry. The terrain from An County to Chaisang County is rugged. Even if Lu Rui's army marches, it will probably take more than a month to arrive. As long as our army persists for three months, our advantage will be obvious in summer." On the side, he comforted Sun Yi, saying that summer is Sun's army's weapon. As long as summer comes, Cao Cao will not have many soldiers and horses at his disposal. Northerners are not good at water warfare, and only Jingzhou soldiers can be used. "Well, that's all we have now. It won't be so easy for Lu Rui to capture An County. After all, the old general Cheng Pu is stationed in An County. We should discuss how to unite with Shi Xie to expel the Wumanxi army back to Wumanxi. This This army is always a big problem for us." Sun Yi nodded. Now his main task is to contain Lu Rui's 50,000 troops and reduce the pressure on Sun Quan in Chaisang. In the Crocodile Kou military camp, in the commander's tent, Lu Rui sat on the main seat, looking at the secret message sent by Shi Xie, and smiled slightly. It seems that God really helped Lu Rui this time to kill Sun. Shi Xie told Lu Rui that Sun Quan planned to escort all his relatives to Luling in exchange for Shi Xie sending troops. After defeating Lu Rui, Hui returned Shi Xie's eldest son. Shi Xie decided to take advantage of his plan and sent troops to Luling to raid Luling City. "Zihuan, Cangshu, look, this is Shi Xie's plan!" Lu Rui handed over Shi Xie's confession to Cao Pi and Cao Chong. Shi Xie's plan is very simple. As long as Shi Xie leads his troops into Luling, Shi Xie will launch a surprise attack. By then Luling will be within easy reach. "Brother Rui, it seems that Shi Xie is really a good person. He has plans on how to seize Luling City in his words. He has no intention of saving his relatives. It seems that Shi Xie has decided to regard his son and brothers as A victim." Cao Chong shook his head. Animals can be ruthless and unjust, but people cannot be too ruthless and unjust. "The princes on each side all have their own difficulties. We cannot judge the actions of the princes based on human friendship. Since Shi Xie has decided to raid Luling City, we must cooperate with Shi Xie. Samoko, how is our boat doing? ?" Lu Rui glanced at Shamoke and saw that Shamoke had nothing to do with Lu Rui and others discussing political affairs, but had been chewing a big pork leg next to him. "Don't worry, brother-in-law, there are many rivers in our Wuman River. Building bamboo boats is a skill that every man in Wuman River must know. Five people can build a bamboo boat in ten days. After half a month, five people can build a bamboo boat. Wan Dajun's bamboo boat will be built!" Samoko gnawed on the big pig leg. While answering Lu Rui. "How is the situation at the crocodile mouth? Do you have any way to deal with those crocodiles?" If Wumanxi's army wants to attack Luling from the water, they must deal with the crocodiles near the crocodile mouth, which are big things that can eat people. "Brother-in-law, don't worry. Our Wuman River has a poison designed to drive away crocodiles. As long as it is put into the water, the crocodiles will not dare to approach our ship easily. As long as it sails beyond three miles, it will be out of the crocodile's territory." Sha Moko confidently answered Lu Rui that he had his own way of dealing with crocodiles. "Yes." Lu Rui nodded and controlled the wild beasts in the mountains. The evil dragons in the water are the specialty of the foreign tribes in Lingnan, just like the Mulu King in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The animals controlled in different places are different, and Samoko is like this Feeling confident, there must be no big problem. In the water village of Poyang Lake, Lu Rui's notice of attacking the crocodile mouth also arrived at Zhou Yu's military tent. At the same time, there was another notice on the table. This notice was Sun Quan's decision to threaten Shi Xie with Shi Xie's tribe. Table of contents. "Grand Governor, everything is ready, we can set off at any time." Just as Zhou Yu was deep in thought, Taishi Ci entered the military camp and reported to Zhou Yu that everything was ready and Zhou Yu could send troops. "Well, how's it going with Boyan?" Zhou Yu nodded. Taishi Ci always made himself feel at ease when doing things. "Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, General Lu has agreed to the Commander-in-Chief's suggestion and led five thousand sergeants to stay in Poyang Lake to contain Lu Dai's navy." "Okay, I knew Boyan would not refuse. Bo Fu has got a good son-in-law. Ah!" Zhou Yu looked at the sword on the table and thought of his sworn brother, Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong! "Grand Governor, we are acting without authorization. Where is the Lord?" "Ziyi is afraid?" Zhou Yu said slightly.He smiled, took out a piece of Baijuan from his arms, and wiped the sword in his hand. "The general is never a person who is afraid of death, but if the governor does this, I'm afraid there will be resentment in the lord's heart. In fact, the governor and the lord can live in peace" Taishi Ci is also a doctor. A politically savvy military commander, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu's deadlock lies in military power. As long as Zhou Yu hands over military power and only acts as a counselor, he will play a greater role beside Sun Quan. "Ziyi, do you still remember this sword?" Zhou Yu polished the sword in his hand and handed it to Taishi Ci. "Of course I remember, this is Bo Fu's sword, and Bo Fu used this sword to defeat me that day!" Tai Shici took the sword, as if meeting an old friend, and carefully touched the sword with his hand. , cherished it very much, and recalled the days with Sun Ce in my heart. "My lord has different ideas from mine, and different from Bo Fu's ideas. I just want to fulfill Bo Fu's wish. As for life and reputation, I no longer care about it. Ziyi, let us do one thing for our old friends." Come on!" Zhou Yu patted Tai Shici and smiled slightly. "I understand, I am willing to do something for my old friend!" Tai Shici and Zhou Yu looked at each other and laughed. Time flies so fast, itĄŻs been more than half a month in a blink of an eye. "Report to the general, the reinforcements from Prefect Shi Xie have arrived!" One morning, Sun Yi and Sun Shao were discussing major military affairs in the conference hall. Since these days, Lu Rui's 50,000-strong army has no intention of heading north. Every day they intensify patrols and build boats near the crocodile mouth. According to the progress, Lu Rui's boat should be built. "Brother, Shi Xie's army is coming. Should we let them station outside the city and not enter the city?" Sun Shao heard that Shi Xie was coming and asked how to place Shi Xie's army. "This?" Sun Yi was hesitant after hearing Sun Shao's words. Sun Yi received a secret letter from Zhou Yu a few days ago. In the letter, Zhou Yu reminded Sun Yi to pay attention to people's hearts and be on guard against others. In fact, it is an allusion to Shi Xie. However, Shi Xie's current identity is always an ally, and he is still an ally dependent on Sun Quan. If Shi Xie's army is not allowed to enter the city, it will easily cause misunderstandings. After all, they are sending troops to help. You let people live outside the city? "General, I have a suggestion at the end. It can be provided for the general's reference." Just when Sun Yi was hesitating. Sun Yi's military governor Gui Lan stood up. "What good idea do you have?" "The general is worried that Shi Xie has second thoughts and entering the city will cause a crisis in the city's defense. The general suggested that Shi Xie enter the city with his personal guards, and the rest of the army can be placed in the old city of Luling . This will calm Shi Xie's heart, and secondly, it will allow Shi Xie to meet his family and serve our army better." Gui Lan proposed a two-pronged strategy to Sun Yi, and Luling was divided into a new city and an old city. city. The new city is the city where Sun Yi is currently stationed. This is a defensive place selected by Zhou Yu, connecting the north and south passages. The old city of Luling is on a high ground to the east of the new city, and the city is not large. Accommodating tens of thousands of troops is still no problem, and the facilities in the old city are still there, so there is no need to worry about supply issues. "Okay, it is indeed a good idea. I will leave this matter to you. You go and arrange all the matters in the old city, and let Shi Xie's army move into the old city tonight." Sun Yi nodded, Gui Lan What he proposed was a good idea, so that even if Shi Xie was in Luling City, there wouldn't be any big disturbance. After Shi Xie listened to Sun Yi's arrangements outside the city, he did not raise any objections. He asked his lieutenant to lead the army and followed Gui Lan into the old city. He entered Luling City with his personal guards. Sun Yi gave Shi Xie A grand dinner was held to thank Shi Xie for bringing his troops to support Sun Yi. "Brother Rui, it seems that Shi Xie has arrived. The lights in Luling City are brightly lit, which should be welcoming Shi Xie's arrival." On the high slope of Crocodile Kou, Cao Chong and Lu Rui were drinking wine on the hillside. Cao Chong has been here to observe the situation in Luling City these days. Usually at midnight, Luling City is already completely dark. Now you can still see lights in Luling City, indicating that there is a grand banquet. Except for Shi Xie, there will be no other People. "Yes, it seems that Shi Xie's envoy is coming. Let's go back to the military camp!" Lu Rui stayed up on purpose tonight, just waiting for Shi Xie's envoy. "Okay, Brother Rui!" Cao Chong tidied up and followed Lu Rui down the mountain. As soon as he returned to the military camp, Cao Pi told Lu Rui that Shi Xie's envoy had arrived. "Are you Shi Xie's envoy?" Walking into the military tent, Lu Rui saw a scribe dressed as a Han scholar, a scribe wearing a robe that did not fit his body shape. "Yes, the villain's name is Gui Nu, and he is the commander of the personal guards around Prefect Shi Xie." "Gui Nu?" Lu Rui was stunned for a moment. He looked like he was clearly a scholar. How could he choose such a name? "Isn't it that Mr. Hou is curious about the villain's life? The villain is from Jiaozhou??Wizards can transform into all kinds of ordinary people! "After saying that, the ghost slave waved his hand and turned into a naked warrior. "It turns out it's Zuo Ci again! "Lu Rui snorted disdainfully. The Cao family has seen a lot of ancient magic. "It seems that the Marquis and all the young masters are all capable people, and the villain has made a fool of himself. "The ghost slave had just finished concealing his magic. When he saw that Lu Rui and others were not surprised, he knew that he had made a mistake. It seems that these tricks cannot fool people. "You must also have the ability to show off your ugliness. This skill cannot fool us. You can still get it by fooling ordinary people. By the way, what's going on with Prefect Shixie? " "Reporting to the Marquis, the governor has moved into the new city of Luling, while the army has been arranged in the old city of Luling. " Subsequently, the ghost slave told Lu Rui about Shi Xie's arrangement. Shi Xie was separated from the army, which was obviously a plan for Sun Yi to be on guard. Shi Xie decided to use the plan and let Lu Rui send troops to attack Luling in three days. At that time, Shi Xie would plan to let Sun Yi Yi brought out his sergeants to fight. When the time came, the city was empty. Shi Xie had his own way to deceive Luling's gates and invade Luling. "Let me go, let me go. I'm not a spy." I'm here to surrender. "While Lu Rui and Shi Xie's envoy were discussing the details of the attack on Luling, Shamoko led several soldiers and escorted a spy into the commander's camp. "Shamoko, what's going on? " "Hey, brother-in-law, I caught a sneaky man, he should be an enemy spy, but he said he came to surrender. I don't know the truth or not, so I brought him over. "After saying that, Shamoko threw the spy away. On the ground. "The little man Gui Lan has met the Marquis. Unexpectedly, he has not seen him for many years. The Marquis is still the same. He played chess with Xu Taishou on the Wangjiang Tower in Xuzhou. The villain still remembers things clearly. "The spy was thrown away by Samoko. He fell to the ground, his eyes constantly scanning the people in the tent. Then he saluted Lu Rui. "Are you? "Originally, Lu Rui had no intention of understanding the spy captured by Shamoko. But he told the story about Wangjiang Tower, which made Lu Rui curious. Does this person know him? "The little man Gui Lan is He was from Danyang. He originally served as a member of the army under the command of Governor Sheng. Later, the Sun family invaded Danyang. The villain and his fellow countryman Dai Yuan were forced to surrender to the Sun family. They are now the commander-in-chief of Sun Yi's army. Hearing that the Marquis's army was here, they came here to surrender. Offer a plan to destroy the city and avenge the old master! "When the spy saw Lu Rui asking him, he quickly told Lu Rui his life story. He came here to avenge his old master. "Gui Lan? Dai Yuan? Lu Rui thought of these two names in his heart, and suddenly remembered, this is In history, the person who planned to kill Sun Yi turned out to be a retainer of the governor of Danyang. After Sun Ce pacified Danyang, he asked Sun Yi to garrison Danyang. Sun Yi reused Gui Lan in order to win people's hearts. However, Lu Rui's time travel caused some changes in history. Change, at that time, in order to show goodwill to Cao Cao, Sun Yi had just taken office, and the defenders of Danyang were transferred back to Chaisang by Sun Quan in order to show goodwill to Cao Cao. For this reason, Sun Yi was not killed by Gui Lan. " I see! What evidence is there that you are from Danyang, and that you want to join our army? How can you convince me with just one strategy? "Although Lu Rui was already very sure in his heart that this person was Gui Lan, he still needed to test it. Gui Lan intended to surrender to Cao Jun, so he was naturally well prepared. Gui Lan first transferred the household registration documents from the Luling Prefect's Mansion. He presented the book to Lu Rui, and then presented the defense map of Luling City to Lu Rui to express his loyalty. Gui Lan then suggested that Lu Rui take Shi Xie's army to Lu Ling, and Gui Lan would arrange for Sun Yi and Shi Xie to arrive. When the time comes, Lu Rui will be able to reap the benefits. "My lord, you are really clever, but do you know the relationship between Shi Xie and the Marquis? " Gui Lan kept talking on the side about how to drive a wedge between Sun Yi and Shi Xie. At the same time, she also used many dirty tricks to hurt people, using Shi Xie's family to cause Shi Xie's dissatisfaction. Cao Chong and Cao Pi knew the identity of Gui Nu. , all sat aside calmly, watching Gui Lan talk about his plan like a fool, but the ghost slave beside him couldn't bear it, and used Shi Xie's family as chess pieces. Doesn't this mean he looks down on the people of Jiaozhou? My lord, are you? "Gui Lan was talking loudly, but was interrupted by Gui Nu. Gui Lan glanced at Gui Nu. Someone who could speak like this in the commander's tent must be an expert. "The villain's nickname is Gui Nu, he is not an adult. He is the personal guard commander of Lord Shixie, the prefect of Jiaozhou! "The ghost slave glared at Gui Lan displeasedly. Any loyal person would be unhappy if he heard someone plotting against his lord and plotting against his lord's family. "Huh? "Gui Lan was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized it. It turned out that Shi Xie was not here to rescue Sun Yi, but joined forces with Lu Rui to plan Luling. "It turns out that he was the commander of Lord Shi Xie's bodyguard, and Lan was rash. , if you have offended me, please ask the ghost commander to forgive me. The Sun family used soldiers to repair the house of the prefect.?Threats are truly an unkind person. Lan is willing to rescue Lord Shixie's family to show his loyalty! "Gui Lan was very good at observing words and emotions, and quickly made a decision to show her loyalty. "Do you know where Lord Shi Xie's family members are imprisoned? "Lu Rui was stunned for a moment. The information in Luling City is unknown now, and it is difficult to rescue Shi Xie's family. But with Gui Lan's information, it is different. "Master Hou, all the family members of Master Shi Xie are being detained in Sun City. In Yi's backyard, in order to guard Master Shi Xie's family, Sun Yi and Sun Shao both sent their trusted generals to guard it. Villains are not talented, and it is the villains who are responsible for guarding the perimeter. "Gui Lan looked at Lu Rui with a smile. As the Governor and Supervisor of the Army, he was responsible for the perimeter security of the Governor's Mansion. "Oh? Then are you sure of rescuing your family? "When Lu Rui heard Gui Lan's description, he was overjoyed. He really couldn't find anything after running through iron shoes, and it took no effort to get him. Gui Lan had been lurking around Sun Yi for a long time, and he must have been a confidant. He rescued Shi Xie's family. The certainty is even greater. "Don't worry, Lord Marquis, as long as there is chaos in the city, I am sure to rescue Lord Shi Xie's family. " "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. As for the raid on Luling, we have to make new plans. When the time comes, Gui Lan will cooperate with Master Shi Xie to launch a sneak attack on Luling. " "Thank you, Lord Marquis! " At this time, in Luling City, Sun Yi opened a bag of tips given to him by Zhou Yu. This was opened after Zhou Yu ordered him to open it after Shi Xie arrived. " Dear brother, do you know what you should do? "Sun Yi handed Zhou Yu's tips bag to Sun Shao. Sun Shao took a look at it and suggested that Shi Xie's son be imprisoned separately from his brothers. If Shi Xie changes his mind, use counterintuitive tactics! "The Governor is really powerful. This plan can be used. Guaranteed against any loss. Brother, IĄŻll go arrange it right away! "Sun Shao bowed his hands and left the study. (To be continued) ps: Thank you for your great support!!!!
