"Da Sima has Zhou bream in front to support him, and Jia Kui from Yuzhou behind to protect his flanks. What's the worry?" Cao Rui then refused to listen to Jiang Ji's words and ordered Sima Yi to attack Jingzhou, while Jia Kui set off for Wuchang, Dongguan.

(Note: During the three generations of the Cao family, Dongguan was located in the area of ​​Wuchang and Xiakou, the capital of Soochow. This can be mutually verified from the remarks in the history books and the maps of the Three Kingdoms. By the end of the Cao Wei Dynasty, Dongguan was located in the Ruxuwu area that everyone is familiar with.

.)

When the edict was sent to Yangzhou, former general Man Chong learned that the emperor had agreed to Cao Xiu's plan. He was very anxious and quickly wrote a letter: "If Da Sima leads the army into Anhui, there will be a big lake at his back and a river beside him. It will be easy to advance and difficult to retreat."

"This is a dangerous place. If a large army enters without a stronghold, you must be extremely careful."

Man Chong's memorial had just been sent out, and Cao Xiu had already led the army to set off, and at the same time asked Man Chong to divide his troops into Xiakou.

At this time, Lu Xun had already brought 60,000 troops to Wancheng to prepare for the upcoming war.

Along the Yangtze River in autumn, the weather is no longer as hot as it was a month ago.

Lu Xun, dressed in Confucian uniform, led his generals to stand outside Wancheng, preparing to welcome the arrival of Wu Lord Sun Quan.

I saw smoke and dust rising in the distance, indicating that there were men and horses galloping towards this direction.

Sun Quan did not ride in a chariot, but rode a horse, wearing armor, and ran in front of the Wu soldiers, and then he stopped.

"Meet the King!"

All the generals saluted in unison.

"Get up!" Sun Quan, who was sitting on a tall horse with a riding whip in his hand, looked at everyone and said, "The thief Cao is stupid, and now he has fallen into my trap!"

"Ten years ago, Cao Cao personally came with hundreds of thousands of troops, but I was defeated at Chibi. Now this Cao thief, who is just a kid with a yellow beard, dares to let Cao Xiu come with only 100,000 troops. What should I fear?

?”

"I only hope that all your beloved generals can work hard to kill the enemy, boost our power in Soochow, and let Cao Rui experience the humiliation of his great father!"

After Sun Quan finished speaking, everyone in Soochow laughed.

Zhu Huanyue came out and saluted Sun Quan and said, "Cao Xiu was given the important position of Emperor Wei just because his surname was Cao. He is not a wise and brave general!"

"Now that he has come a long way and is exhausted, if he fights me again, he will definitely be defeated! If he is defeated, he should take two roads with rocks and trailers. Both roads are dangerous. It only takes more than ten thousand soldiers to block the road.

, then we can completely wipe out Cao's thieves and make Cao Xiu a prisoner."

"The last general asked us to go and cut off the road. If by God's grace, Cao Xiu surrenders, then we can take advantage of the victory and advance to capture Shouchun to occupy Huainan. In this way, we can have a glimpse of Xuchang and Luoyang."

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, don't miss it!"

When Sun Quan heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He looked at Lu Xun and asked, "What do you think of Boyan?"

Lu Xun looked calm and shook his head slightly, "This strategy is too dangerous and must not be used."

When Zhu Huan heard this, he was immediately dissatisfied. Just as he was about to say more, Sun Quan said, "I am only here to see, not to speak. All matters will be decided by Boyan."

Having said that, he appointed Lu Xun as the Commander-in-Chief of Wu State on the spot, pretending to be Huang Yue.

After the incident was over, everyone retreated, except Lu Xun.

Sun Quan then got off his horse and said to Lu Xun, "I think Zhu Huan's words have some merits. Why don't you use Bo Yan?"

Lu Xun replied: "Your Majesty, before the Cao thief arrives, we have sent more than ten thousand elite soldiers to ambush. If Cao Xiu discovers it, the thief will be alerted prematurely. We must show our weakness so that he can come in with confidence."

"Second, even if General Zhu can really avoid being discovered and cut off the road behind Cao Xiu, he will definitely be attacked from both front and rear by Cao Xiu's thieves."

"If Cao Xiu is defeated, he will have to return to the army. If he returns to the army, don't stop him, otherwise he will be eaten by him. Moreover, if there are rocks, Cao's thieves will definitely come to the north of the trailer to meet him. At that time, General Zhu will be afraid that he will not be able to break the road.

Instead, you are in danger.”

"As for the third one, General Zhu is a great general. I need to use his strength to defeat Cao Xiu. How can I let him go so easily?"

Sun Quan listened and nodded, "That's it."

"However, the plan mentioned by General Zhu is not completely useless. In fact, I have sent five thousand people to hide not far from Wuqiang Mouth."

"As soon as Cao Xiu is defeated, these five thousand people can try to cut off his retreat. If Cao Xiu and I are at loggerheads, these five thousand people can act as surprise troops from the rear and flank."

"So wonderful!" Sun Quan was overjoyed, then reached into his arms, took out a letter, and said with a slight sigh, "This is a letter sent by the Lord of Shu. It is called a greeting, but it is really a big announcement about the Battle of Longyou and the promotion of Shu.

The power of the army."

As he spoke, he looked towards the north with a sharp cold light in his eyes, "Bo Yan, do you ever remember that you promised me something?"

How could Lu Xun not know what Sun Quan was thinking at this moment, he bowed and said in salute, "After this battle, I will definitely let the name of the king shock the world. How can my master, such a talented man, let Liu Chan be the first to beat him?"

"Okay!" Sun Quan said excitedly, "You still know your intentions, then I will watch you from the top of Wancheng City. You must not let me down!"

Lu Xun stood up straight and smiled confidently, "I have wanted the king's reputation to spread throughout the world for a long time, and I will definitely be able to do so today!"

Sun Quan also smiled knowingly.

Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor, and it was the Emperor of Han who abdicated in person.

Liu Bei also proclaimed himself emperor, saying that he would continue to rise and fall and revive the Han Dynasty.

Only Soochow, if the name is not correct, the words will not be correct.

The two countries Wei and Shu obviously stand on a tripartite footing, but they can only claim the title of king.

This not only made Sun Quan feel aggrieved, but the Jiangdong aristocratic family also felt that he would be inferior to the Central Plains aristocratic family, so everyone in Soochow desperately needed a status.

Therefore, this battle was a battle fought by the Wu Kingdom with concerted efforts.
