Chapter 180 Chapter 27 Wei Wu Ru Qiyong (4)

Lu Meng first agreed, and then added: "The third point is that Cao Cao wants to march into Hanzhong, and he uses the new '400,000' army to contain our army, especially Liu Bei." Speaking of this, Sun Quan couldn't help but lose his voice: "Liu Bei is beginning to enter Xichuan these few days and become an enemy of Liu Zhang. If Cao Mengde comes here soon, defending the western front, who can rest assured?" "Therefore, no matter what Cao Cao's real intentions are this time," Lu Meng said, "we should make preparations in all aspects. Zhang Zigang said that Moling is quite suitable for our Eastern Wu capital, and it is indeed a rare place with a state of affairs. However, in order to As a precaution, build a new stone city wall to make it impregnable, so as to defend against enemies that may invade at any time."

Sun Quan agreed one by one.Seeing that Zhang Hong started to attack again, with a very painful expression, he immediately called the imperial physician.Zhang Hong didn't want it, he just asked to go back to his camp.Therefore, Sun Quan ordered Lu Meng to escort him personally. Unexpectedly, at noon the next day, Zhang Hong's soldiers came to cry and report that Zhang Hong suffered from insomnia due to chest pain last night and did not fall asleep until dawn. Sun Quan burst into tears when he heard the news, and rushed to Zhang Hong's camp to mourn.Then Lu Meng, Ling Tong, Xu Sheng, Han Dang, Zhou Tai, Chen Wu, Pan Zhang, Gan Ning, Lu Xun and other generals and officers who were nearby also came.Sun Quan wept bitterly, and said to the officials: "Zigang's last words advised me to move the capital to Moling and change my name to Jianye. Unexpectedly, today I will be separated from Yin and Yang forever! How can I not follow Zigang's words!"

Therefore, he immediately ordered to move the capital to Jianye, which is now Nanjing.He also recruited craftsmen to build good stones in Zhongshan, build a large-scale construction project, and build a stone city to make it as solid as gold and live up to Zhang Hong's wish during his lifetime. One month later in 180, one day Lu Meng rode alone, went out to relax, and galloped the horse.Before I knew it, I arrived at Ruxukou. Ruxu water comes from Chaohu Lake and flows into the Yangtze River in the southeast, at the junction of Hanshan and Chaoxian County.Here is the only way for Cao Cao to commit crimes.Lu Meng stayed on his horse to observe the terrain, and found that there was no danger to rely on, and Cao Cao was about to attack, so he couldn't help feeling worried.

After returning to Xunyang, Lu Meng didn't sleep well all night. The next day, he finally thought of a way to achieve both water and land, so he came to Chaisang again to meet Sun Quan. Seeing that it was Lu Meng, Sun Quan was very happy and said, "Jianye City is under construction, and I believe it will be completed soon." Lu Meng smiled and said, "I came here today to suggest to Duke Ming that we should also make a big construction project in Ruxukou!" "Fix what?" Sun Quan and the other generals present at the time were all surprised. "I rode alone to Ruxukou yesterday. Judging by the terrain, there was no danger to rely on. Therefore, I wanted to build wharves and city walls on both sides of Ruxushuikou."

Many people objected that it was superfluous.Someone said: "As a navy, your behavior is to attack the enemy, and when you leave the shore, you board a warship. Why do you build a city?" Lu Meng explained: "The situation in the battle is ever-changing, especially for the Cao army who is good at field warfare. It is even more important to be careless. Besides, there are two situations in the war that are disadvantageous and favorable. If it is favorable, let it go. But if the enemy's powerful cavalry suddenly appears How can we board a ship when we have no time to escape to the water? Or, if the soldiers on the ship have to go ashore and ride horses into battle, and there is no barrier on the shore, is it not impossible to go ashore? Therefore, Building docks and city walls at Ruxushuikou, where there is no natural danger to rely on, is precisely to deal with possible emergencies.”

Sun Quan thought that Lu Meng's words were very reasonable, and immediately ordered the completion of Ruxuwu, also known as Yanyuewu, in a short period of time.In this way, the two places stepped up their construction, and then they were all completed in November. Soon after 181, Cao Cao completed the reorganization of the Southern Expedition Army and was about to leave the army.In terms of strategy, Cao Cao still maintains the traditional east and west fronts.Between Fancheng, Xiangyang and Jiangling is the old battle line in the 13th year of Jian'an (208 A.D.) when Jingzhou was conquered south.After the failure of Chibi and Wulin, Zhou Yu seized important military towns such as Yiling and Jiangling.When Cao Cao transferred his army to attack Ma Chao, he sent Cao Ren to station troops in the Xiang and Fan areas to confront Zhou Yu for a long time.

The focus of the eastern line is in Juchao, Hefei and Ruxukou.Cao Cao stationed his troops here under the command of Zhang Liao, who was famous for his bravery. Now, Cao Cao is marching south again, and there is another hostile force like Liu Bei on the western front.Therefore, according to the actual situation, when he reorganized the Southern Expedition Army, he made some new changes to the configuration of the troops.Its two-line layout is as follows: Eastern Front: Commander in Chief: Cao Cao Main Battle Corps: Zhang Liao Department, Li Dian Department, Le Jin Department. Western Front:

Commander: Cao Ren Main battle armies: Cao Ren Department, Xu Huang Department, Lu Rou Department, Cao Hong Department. On Sun Quan's side, after ascertaining Cao Cao's military situation, he also formulated a new layout accordingly: Eastern Front: Commander in Chief: Sun Quan Conductor: Lu Meng Main battle armies: Gan Ning Department, Ling Tong Department, Xu Sheng Department. Western Front: Commander in Chief: Lu Su Main battle armies: Pan Zhang's Department, Zhu Ran's Department, and Lu Xun's Department.
