"Your Majesty, don't hesitate anymore!" Lu Xun, who was already over 50 years old in the royal court, looked at Sun Quan and said in a deep voice: "If Cao Wei is defeated, how can I escape from Jiangdong?"

Sun Quan hesitated: "But Bo Yan also said that Pang Tong deliberately walked along Lujiang to lure our troops. If he wanted to send troops now, wouldn't it be exactly what Pang Tong wants?"

Sun Quan's hesitation naturally makes sense. Now Jiangdong has only three counties left, and it cannot withstand the trouble. If the troops are really sent, it would be good to win this time, but if they are defeated, Jiangdong will never have any peace.

"We may not be enemies of the Han army for the time being, but we must send troops!" Lu Xun looked at Sun Quan and said, "Our army can station troops in Guangling and threaten the rear of the Han army from the flanks. However, if the Han Dynasty is defeated in the future, the king will have room for maneuver!"

"But Guangling is also belonging to Cao Wei!" Sun Quan frowned.

"You can ask Sima Zhao as an envoy to ask Guangling to be surrendered!" Lu Xun said in a deep voice.

Now that Cao Shuang's army is attacked by Pang Tong and Liu Cheng, Xuzhou has no choice but to defend, and Pang Tong has never dealt with Xuzhou. Although there is a reason why he does not want to disperse his troops, why did he use Xuzhou to lure Jiangdong to send troops? At this time, he asked Cao Wei for Guangling. Lu Xun believed that Sima Yi would definitely give it. This way, he could seize Guangling without any effort, and at the same time, he could restrain Pang Tong's troops, giving Cao Shuang a chance to breathe. If he had the chance, he would attack Pang Tong. If he had no chance, he would take advantage of the opportunity to seize Xuzhou.

Just like Liu Bei seized Jingzhou back then, Dongwu has not had a head-on conflict with the Han Dynasty. No matter how he counts, he will take advantage of it. After taking Xuzhou, he can also join forces with Cao Wei to attack and fight against the Han Dynasty.

However, with the terrain of Xuzhou, I am afraid that I can't defend it. Lu Xun's plan is to obtain its population, but not occupy its territory. With the population of Xuzhou, it can enrich the three counties in Jiangdong. At the same time, it can further develop the newly obtained Yizhou. If you really lose your opponent, you can retreat to Yizhou.

"King!" Zhuge Ke stepped out and bowed and said, "Yizhou is alone overseas. Our army has a way of retreat. If we give it a try now, although the Han army is strong, it may not be able to win if it is an enemy of our dynasty and Cao Wei. Even if we fail, our army has a way of retreat. The Battle of Neihuang is enough to prove that the Han army is not invincible. As long as we make good use of the land and the weather, we may not be able to turn the world around!"

After a moment of silence, Sun Quan looked at the civil and military officials in the court, and suddenly smiled bitterly, "But I don't know who can be a general?"

In recent years, the Eastern Wu has been defeated twice in the hands of the Han Dynasty. The first time, he lost the grand prizes such as Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai. The veteran generals Huang Gai, Gan Ning, Cheng Pu and others also left one after another. When Guan Yu led his army downstream, not only did it cost Jiangdong most of the land, but also a group of generals such as Zhu Ran, Ling Tong, Ding Feng, Pan Zhang and other generals died. Even if they want to fight, the fierce generals back then were basically gone. Who else can do it now?

"Xu Sheng, He Qi, and Zhu Yi can all be generals!" Lu Xun bowed and said.

These three people are the only remaining generals who can fight in Jiangdong.

"Well!" Sun Quan sighed. In fact, Sun Quan, who is nearly 60 years old, has lost the fighting spirit of his youth, especially now that the Han Dynasty is becoming increasingly powerful, which makes Sun Quan feel a little discouraged. But now the ministers are fighting. During this period in Jiangdong, Sima Zhao ran among the famous scholars in Jiangdong every day, and has convinced a large number of famous scholars in Jiangdong, which is considered to be united.

"Since this is the case, Lu Xun has become the governor, Xu Sheng, He Qi and Zhu Yi are the generals, leading 30,000 troops out of Guangling!" Sun Quan finally made the decision.

Thirty thousand soldiers were already the ones he could take out for Sun Quan. Since he was beaten by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and threw away the three counties, he still paid compensation to the Han Dynasty for several years. Jiangdong has all had a decline in both economic and people's livelihood. It is not easy to be able to take out 30,000 troops to join the war. If there are more, Sun Quan can't take out at all.

...

Shouchun, Pang Tong's camp.

Now Cao Shuang is attacked by Pang Tong and Liu Cheng on both sides, and Wei Yan in the rear continues to harass the food channels in elusive ways. Cao Shuang controls 200,000 oil-controlled troops, but is now forced by Pang Tong and Liu Cheng to hide in Ruyin and dare not fight. Seeing Pang Tong and Liu Cheng constantly compressing his living space, there is no way.

"Governor!" Guan Ping walked in and said to Pang Tongyi: "There was news from behind that Sun Quan appointed Lu Xun as the Grand Governor of the Eastern Wu and led 30,000 troops from the waterway in Guangling, but did not attack our army."

"Guangling?" Pang Tong looked at the sand table after hearing this, shook his head and sneered: "It's so scheming!"

"What does the governor mean?" Guan Ping looked at Pang Tong in confusion.

"Now Lu Xun is stationed in the rear of our army, I have to be careful not to strangle Cao Shuang with all my strength. It is considered to be aiding Cao Shuang. If our army is defeated in the future, he will naturally be able to take advantage of the situation. But even if our army wins, Jiangdong can take this opportunity to occupy Xuzhou. They have not taken action against our army. Our army is now mainly energetic to destroy Cao Wei and is powerless to distract him." Pang Tong explained with a smile.

Advance can attack and retreat and defend, Lu Xun's move has already been invincible!

"Then what should our army do?" Guan Ping looked at Pang Tong and said.

"How?" Pang Tong smacked his lips and said, "This is the most difficult thing. If Eastern Wu directly attacked Cao Shuang and attacked each other, Jiangxia and Yuzhang's troops would immediately attack Wujun, Danyang and Kuaiji, but now... the army is unknown!"

Since Pang Tong dared to reveal the rear to Dongwu, he naturally made a complete plan. As long as Dongwu takes action, Jiangxia's navy and Yuzhang's army will immediately launch an attack. However, although the people are attacking, they are attacking Cao Wei's territory. At least on the surface, they have no conflict with the Han army, and they still help them in name. If they take action as planned, even if they capture Wu, they will not be able to conquer the hearts of the people.

But what is uncomfortable is that even if Lu Xun has no intention of attacking here, Pang Tong could not ignore it. No wonder Lu Xun could still block the offensive of the Han under such circumstances. It was indeed some means.

Guan Ping frowned, and for a moment he was a little helpless about this situation.

"In this way, you immediately send someone to find Wei Yan and notify Wei Yan to wait for an opportunity to capture Qiao County. If what I expected was, the Wei army's food and grass might be there." Pang Tong sneered.

Since there is nothing to do with Dongwu, let’s destroy Cao Shuang with all his might.

"How did the governor know?" Guan Ping said in surprise.

"Wen Chang has been plaguing the grain roads in the rear for so long, and intercepting and burning food and grass is insignificant, but Cao Shuang is not in a hurry at all. The food and grass must be not far away. Although Cao Shuang used a trick, the most suitable place for garrisoning grain is probably Qiao County!" Pang Tong smiled.

"I'll go here!" Guan Ping's eyes lit up, bowed to Pang Tong, and turned around and left.

Looking at Guan Ping's departure back, Pang Tong groped his chin and smiled, "I'm afraid that little guy Zixin has calculated it, right? Come on, General Zhang Bao is here!"

...

Qiutou, Liu Chengdaying.

"Zi Xin, are you looking for me?" Guan Xing came in from outside the door and smiled at Liu Cheng.

"Yes." Liu Cheng nodded and said, "Lu Xun has sent troops, and the governor will find it difficult to fight the enemy with all his strength. If he delays it, there may be variables. I want to resolve the war as soon as possible."

Guan Xing nodded, then smiled bitterly, "Cao Shuang is not an incompetent person. Our army is not as powerful as the other party. If we attack for a strong attack, it will be difficult to take Cao Shuang alone without the cooperation of the governor!"

They fought along the way, and all the troops were stationed in various places. With the loss of war, they now have only about 50,000 troops. It is not easy to eat Cao Shuang's 200,000 troops alone.

"No need to attack!" Liu Cheng shook his head and looked at the map and said, "This is the route map of Cao Shuang's transportation volume over the past few days!"

I saw many lines on the map. In order to prevent the grain robbery, Cao Shuang set up a suspicion array, which made people not know that the grain transport team was real. Guan Xing looked at the dense lines and saw that it was a bit too big. He didn't understand why Liu Cheng wanted to draw these things. Is there any pattern to follow?

"What can I see?" Guan Xing didn't want to reveal the fact that he couldn't understand, so he could only ask.

"Yes." Liu Cheng marked the city and said, "Although the routes are different every time, and General Wei Yan was attacked by him in the rear, Cao Shuang's food and grass have never been short of food and grass, which means that there should be sufficient food and grass supply not far away. These lines are obviously the old suspicious array. The remaining lines are basically from Chen State and Qiao County. If we are in Chen State, we can take them away. Although the most dangerous place is the safest place, Cao Shuang should not have such courage, so I decided that the food and grass should be in Qiao County!"

Guan Xing looked at Guan Xing in amazement, and this shows that it is obvious? Should we think carefully?

"Among these routes in Qiao County, these are all fake. The detours are too far away. And according to the ruts measured by the scout, there is no real thing, only here..." Liu Cheng pointed to a place and said, "It is most suitable, and the ruts are far deeper than other routes."

Guan Xing looked at Liu Cheng speechlessly. After saying so much, the most fundamental thing is the rut, right?

"Father Cheng?" Looking at the place, Guan Xing nodded and said, "What should I do if I believe me?"

"I want my brother to lead the troops personally to burn the Wei army's food and grass!" Liu Cheng looked at Guan Xingsurong and said, "If it can be achieved, Cao Shuang's 200,000 troops will be destroyed every once in a while!"

"The last general will take the order!" Guan Xing flashed a look of excitement.
