Chapter 8 Three, clever victory over Wu Jun

At the turn of the Haizi, the stars and the moon lost their brilliance, and there was darkness between the sky and the earth.On the Hanshui River where you can't see your fingers, you can only faintly hear the sound of paddling and breaking the waves-big boats and small boats are speeding, with dark red lanterns hanging on their bows. Like long whales and short sharks, they swam towards Xiakou City swiftly and fiercely. On the podium of the flagship of the Chinese army, Sima Yi was dressed in bright armor, sitting proudly on a mustard bed covered with tiger skins, staring at the front of the river with stern eyes. Like a cluster of dancing flames!

Liang Ji, who joined the army in the south, and "Ma Si", Sima Yi's eldest son, Sima Shi, who is currently the commander-in-chief of the army, stood solemnly holding swords on both sides of his beard bed. "Report to the Commander-in-Chief, our army's water scouts have come to report one after another. There are no Wu thieves guarding the line along the Hanshui River. Our army will drive more than 20 miles forward, and we will safely reach the south bank of the upper reaches of Xiakou City, Jinkou! "A soldier ran up quickly and knelt in front of Sima Yi and said.

"Oh! Zhuge Jin is not as cautious as his younger brother Zhuge Liang in using troops. He only knows how to abandon his boats and take cavalry to attack Mianyang, but he doesn't even send a single scout on both sides of the Han River. What a shame! Careless? How can we prevent our army from diving eastward at night?" Sima Yi's expression relaxed, and a gleam of joy appeared between his brows, "Thanks to your majesty's great blessing, this governor's eastward expedition to Xiakou City is already a success. More than half of it!" "Father, since that's the case, you can rest assured that you don't have to brave the cold wind to wait for the army. The river wind outside is too strong, you'd better go back to the cabin and take a good rest!" Sima Shi untied him. He took off the large black cloak he was wearing, and lifted it up to cover Sima Yi's chest and abdomen.

"Master! How can such a little wind and waves disturb Weifu's body?" Sima Yi waved his hand to block him, and said slowly, "You should put it on yourself, don't catch a cold! This In the past two or three years, you started as a personal bodyguard under your father-in-law, and relying on your own hard work, you have reached the position of today's "Chief Commander"—what do you think?" Sima Shi did not answer his words directly, but cast his eyes deeply into the river in front of the bow, pondered for a moment, and then said solemnly: "My lord, since I served my country with my father-in-law, my son has been in the heart for a long time. What I always linger on is a poem written by Cao Zhi, the king of Dong'a... Hai'er thinks that his poem completely expresses the generosity and enthusiasm of Hai'er who is willing to devote his blood to serve the country! Hai'er is exactly the same Inspired by this poem of his, he continued to fight the enemy bravely, and finally achieved the position of today's 'Chief Commander' with his solid achievements!"

"A poem by King Dong'a?" Sima Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, but the expression on his face remained calm, "Let Weifu guess—the wonderful poem that haunts your heart all the time must be his. That's "White Horse Chapter"." "That's right! Father, how did you guess it?" "Why didn't my father guess it? When I heard this poem by King Dong'a, I couldn't help my father's blood and pride!" Sima Yi slowly raised his voice and said, "'White horse decorated with gold, Lian Pian gallops northwest. May I ask who is the son, and you are a knight-errant. When you are young, you go to the village, and you raise your voice in the desert. In the past, you used a good bow, and the arrows are different. Control the string to the left, and the right one to destroy the moon branch. Raise your hands To meet the flying cats, bend down and scatter the horseshoes. Cunning over the monkeys and apes, brave like a leopard. There are many policemen in the border towns, and the number of Hulus migrates. Yuxi comes from the north, and the horse climbs the high embankment. Long drives the Xiongnu, left Guling Xianbei Abandoning the edge of the body, life is safe and secure? Parents don't care, what about the son and wife? The name of the strong man is not allowed to be self-serving. Dedicated to go to the country, and see death as home.'Master, this is so good Poetry, don't say that you are a young man who is near the weak crown this year, even if you are a father who has reached the age of destiny, you should resonate with it after hearing it! Only good poems, good writing and good articles can inspire people's ambition and inspire Forge ahead—you should take advantage of your youth to read more majestic chapters to cultivate the arrogance in your chest!"

"Father's advice is correct, the child must keep it in mind." Master Sima bowed his head respectfully and replied. Sima Yi narrowed his gaze, and stared at him suddenly: "A successful scholar must first establish his ambition and then cultivate his talent. But I don't know what ambition you have in your heart at the moment, sir?" "I tell my lord father that the child's ambition at this moment is to take the example of Han Xin, Marquis of Huaiyin and Wu Han, Marquis of Guangping, and the example of Zhang Liao, Marquis of Gang, and Cao Zhang, the former King of Rencheng, to make a grand and earth-shattering feat. Come out!" Sima Shi leaned forward and clasped his fists, his brows and eyes were full of righteousness and heroism!

"Very good! Very good! Since you have such great ambitions to make contributions, I am very pleased with you! How about this? Tonight, Father will give you a great opportunity to make contributions and become famous all over the world..." Sima Yi smiled slightly Nodding his head, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed forward, "After another twenty miles of waterway, my father will lead a large team to stop and land at Jinkou on the south bank of the Han River about fifty miles away from Xiakou City. But you need to go with Liang Canjun Continue to dive eastward, and go to surprise the Wu thief's Hanjiangkou water village—do you have the guts to take on this important task?"

"Han River Estuary Water Village?" Master Sima was stunned, "Could it be that Wu thief set up an eighteen-mile Hengjiang 'Iron Chain Array' at the intersection of the Han River and the Yangtze River to protect the Han River Estuary Water Village?" "That's right. If you are able to win by surprise and capture the water village at the mouth of the Han River in one fell swoop, then you will be the first to repel Wu!" Sima Yi looked directly at him and said deeply. "My child will take over this important task." Sima Shi was also straightforward, agreeing immediately.At the same time, he frowned, and asked in a low voice: "However, my child still doesn't understand enough, why don't you quickly dispatch troops to encircle Xiakou City quickly, and catch the Wu thief first by surprise, but instead send me to wait around?" What about going forward and diving down to get the water village at the mouth of the Han River?"

"Master, what you should have thought of - only by attacking the water stronghold at the mouth of the Han River and transferring the 'Iron Chain Formation' set up by Wu Thieves to our army, can our army forcefully strangle the entrance of the Han River, Intercept the enemy ships outside the Han River, so as to ensure the safety and smoothness of the 40,000 strong force of my army to transport food on the water! Otherwise, how can I afford to spend with them at Xiakou City for my father's 800-mile expedition?" "Ah! My lord father's move is really clever!" Master Sima immediately came to his senses when he heard this, and couldn't help admiring his father's decision.

It turned out that since Lu Meng attacked and killed Guan Yu and captured Xiakou City by "crossing the river in white clothes" at the end of Jian'an, Soochow built a cross-river water fortress at the junction of the Han River and the Yangtze River in the north of Xiakou City. Two hundred and eight iron chains as thick as the mouth of a barrel were stretched across the river and locked, and spread out to be eighteen miles long and three miles wide, which almost cut off the eastward movement of Wei's medium-sized warships and warships. The coming of the Han River from the Yangtze River protected the safety of Wuchang City, the capital of Soochow.However, as Sima Yi said, if the Wei army robbed the water village at the mouth of the Han River, they could also use this "iron chain array" to prevent Soochow's fleet from going deep into the Han River and going northward to cut off the waters of the 40,000 elite soldiers of Wei State. The waterway for food transportation!As long as this water village at the mouth of the Han River is captured, the 40,000 army led by Sima Yi will completely "advance and attack, and retreat and defend", firmly surround Xiakou City and fight a protracted war with the Wu army!

Sima Yi looked at the pitch-black river in front of the bow, and his deep and far-sighted gaze seemed to be fixed on the water village at the mouth of the Han River, which was nearly a hundred miles away: "My father has already received a report from a spy: there are only five thousand people in the water village at the mouth of the Han River. The Wu thief stayed behind—Zhuge Jin was not good at water warfare, so he took most of his troops from it and joined his cavalry team to attack Mianyang! He probably didn't expect that we would take the night by the Hanshui waterway He quickly walked around behind him and gave him a 'backhand attack'! So, master, you don't have to worry too much about this surprise attack on the water village at the mouth of the Han River. In fact, our army is quite sure of winning! You and Liang Ji led three Thousands of people who dared to die will attack downstream by boat, and the prefect Niu Jin who came all the way from the north bank will also lead 5,000 tiger and leopard riders to gallop with you, and cooperate with you to launch a sniper attack on the water village at the mouth of the Han River! Under the double-sided attack, Wu Thief's water village at the mouth of the Han River will definitely fall into the hands of our army!" The gate wall of the south camp of Wu Jun's Hanjiangkou Shuizhai towered high, and six or seven soldiers stood on the sentry towers on both sides, looking around from left to right under the bright red torch.Sima Shi and Liang Ji led a Wei army advance death squad of more than 800 people, all dressed in tight-fitting uniforms, under the cover of the thick black night, with their mouths shut, they sneaked towards the base of the fence. There are quite a number of dead soldiers in the Wei army, and they are well-trained veterans at first glance. All of them are very agile in their actions. They sneaked all the way in the dark, and they could only hear their cotton-soled combat boots on the grass. There was a slight sound of rustling, and there was no other strange movement.Unknowingly, they were already close to the corner of the fence wall, and the laughter and laughter of the Dongwu guards on the sentry tower and the sound of "creaking, creaking" footsteps on the floor could be vaguely heard above their heads——Master Sima snorted. Gathering his breath, he raised his hand as a signal, and the death squads behind him immediately slowed down, arched their upper bodies and slowly moved towards the gate of the gate. Looking up at the sentry towers on both sides, Master Sima waved back vigorously, and four dead soldiers of the Wei army with excellent lightness skills jumped out of the queue knowingly, jumped to the bottom of the sentry tower with the dexterity and speed of civet cats, and then moved like a gecko. They also stuck to the fence wall and climbed up quickly with their limbs! Only a few screams of "ahhhh" were heard, and at the moment when the figures of the Eastern Wu sentry disappeared, Sima Shi jumped up excitedly, let out a soft whistle, and directed the death squads to catch the Wei army in the sentry tower above. The ropes thrown down by the dead soldiers rushed up one by one, and quickly climbed into the fence wall! Finally, the gate of the Nanying Gate of the Shuizhai Village, which was more than seven feet high, slowly opened "creakingly"—Master Sima was overjoyed when he saw it, and wanted to rush in ahead of the gate first!At this time, Liang Ji, who had been silent all this time, pulled him from behind, pressed his shoulders, and whispered to his ear: "Chief Commander, have you forgotten the order of the governor before you leave?" ?” When Master Sima heard this, the excitement on his face froze.It turned out that before their night attack on the Eastern Wu Water Village, his father had specially told him: "If the enemy camp gates are captured, Liang Ji will lead the advance team of dead soldiers to rush into the camp. On the one hand, bluff and spread suspicious soldiers, and on the other hand, seize the time to set fire and surprise attack - tonight is the second day of July, which is the season of early autumn, and it is also the night when the northwest wind is blowing. Let us also learn from Zhou Yu's burning of Chibi , Lu Xun's ability to set fire to Yiling, give them Wu Thief a "return the body in his own way"! At that time, Master Sima, you will stay at the gate of the village and take care of the follow-up 2,000 dead men and Niu Taishou The cavalry who came from Hengjiang on the Lianzhou pontoon bridge took advantage of the situation to seize the southern camp fortress of the Wu thief Hanjiangkou Water Village in one fell swoop!" He thought of his father's words, and couldn't help hesitating: Do he really want to stay outside this gate and watch other death squads bathe in blood and kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds?Will others laugh at me for wandering around the gate of the village and not entering, a coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death?But Liang Ji stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Chief Commander! You have gone into the tiger's den and broken the camp in person. You have been brave enough to make your subordinates admire you! Now, it is You stay in the rear and command Ruoding, and you have a great opportunity to show your talents by defeating the remaining bandits! You just wait outside and wait for the victory news of our victory over the Wu bandits!" After saying that, he jumped forward, threw a long and loud whistle, raised his knife in his hand, and led the eight hundred death squads to shout in unison, and walked through the suddenly opened gate of the South Camp. Li rushed in like a wolf like a tiger! "Lieutenant Hu! Captain Hu! Something is wrong! Something is wrong!" Hu Lang, the captain of Beiying School in Shuizhai, Hanjiangkou, Eastern Wu, was dragged out of the warm blanket by a series of nervous calls.He lifted the quilt at once, sat up on the bed and shouted to the door: "What's the matter?" "Lieutenant Hu, there seems to be a fire on the side of Yanan camp, I'm afraid it's not good!" "Ah! It's just that the soldiers caught fire at night! Send down the order to send 500 brothers from our northern camp to fight the fire!" Hu Lang rubbed his eyes, yawned, and fell asleep again. "Lieutenant Hu! Captain Hu! The people in the southern camp shouted horses and screamed loudly. It was the Wei thief who came to attack at night!" Suddenly there was another panicked voice from outside the room door. sound. "Fuck you! Have your mother's spring and autumn dream! Where is Wei thief? Wei thief is still in Mianyang, surrounded by General Zhuge Jin, and he is going to be 'one pot'!" Hu Lang threw off the quilt angrily. , jumped up, didn't even take the armor hanging on the bedside to put on, slammed the door with a big black belly, and slammed the door with an angry face, rushed to the corridor and wanted to give it to the guards outside. A few slaps in the face! "I can't sleep peacefully, can I?" As soon as he rushed out of the door, he saw a gray shadow flashing in the air, and heard a sharp "whoosh" in his ears, and a gust of wind blew past his face--then, behind his head was the sound of "du" As soon as the sound sounded, he looked back in shock: a crossbow arrow was deeply nailed into the wall panel of the dormitory doorway behind him, and the body of the arrow had penetrated more than half of it, leaving only the bright red tail feathers still trembling there. Endless! This is Wei Jun's most powerful "Spike Crossbow Arrow"! Hu Lang immediately rolled down with his head in his arms, and at the same time he yelled like a slaughtered pig: "Quick! Quick! Quick! There is a sneak attack by Wei soldiers! Immediately light the beacon fire and call for help from General Zhu Huan in Xiakou City!" !" While howling, he was lying on the floor looking towards the south bank, and suddenly froze, his hands and feet were suddenly cold!In the direction of Xiakou City, there is also a column of flames rushing into the night!Needless to say, General Zhu Huan who stayed behind at Xiakou was also attacked! He couldn't help buzzing in his ear drums: "It's over! It's over! The Wei thief unexpectedly descended from the sky and came to Xiakou City!" After winning the water village at the mouth of Han River in Eastern Wu, Sima Yi finally let go of a big stone in his heart.From then on, the Wei army completely seized control of the river channel from Xiangyang City to the mouth of the Han River for eight or nine hundred miles.This means that all the soldiers, food and equipment in Xiangyang City can be continuously supplied to the tens of thousands of Wei troops who are encircled outside Xiakou City through this channel. It can be attacked and defended" on the best strategic position! After besieging Xiakou City, he deliberately left a gap in the south gate, claiming that he was "a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, let the net be lenient", and let Wu Jun escape through the gap in the south gate.At the same time, he allocated 15,000 tiger and leopard riders to Niu Jin, and set up an ambush at the "Heilinyu", a necessary fortress between Xiakou City and Mianyang City, to wait for an opportunity to wipe out the enemy. Under the dark night, on the Mianyang post road, Zhang Ba and his younger brother Zhang Xianzheng led Zhang Ba and his younger brother Zhang Xianzheng to rush back to Xiakou City to rescue Xiakou City. Wei Jun actually copied his own back route and surrounded Xiakou City!This surprised Zhuge Jin and Zhang Ba who were attacking vigorously under Mianyang City!Zhang Ba had previously suggested to Zhuge Jin that only 30,000 cavalry were needed to attack Mianyang City this time, and 20,000 cavalry should be left to garrison Xiakou just in case.Unexpectedly, Zhuge Jin replied: "Now that the governor of Lu Xun has already ignited the flames of war in the west, the Wei bandits are too busy to protect themselves. Do they still have the energy to dare to threaten the rear of Soochow? The 50,000 troops under my command are to Let's go out together, pull out Mianyang with one drum, and then take advantage of the momentum to go north and flatten Xiangyang City!" He said so vigorously, Zhang Ba had no choice but to follow him.However, who would have thought that the Wei army would actually come up with a plan to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao in a roundabout way, and within a few days, they would occupy the water village at the mouth of the Han River and besiege Xiakou City!This time, Zhuge Jin couldn't sit still anymore, and hurriedly sent Brother Zhang Ba to ride back to the east with 20,000 steps to help! When he rushed all the way to Heilinyu, which was 160 miles away from Xiakou City, Zhang Ba knew that as long as he crossed this valley, everything would be fine.He turned his head and told his younger brother and lieutenant Zhang Xiandao: "Pass the order! Let everyone cheer up, as long as we rush through this valley in one go, we will relax—" At this moment, there was a long and long sound of "woo woo" horns, interrupting his words out of thin air! Following the sound of the horn, a row of iron cavalry in black armor came crashing down like a landslide, firmly blocking Wu Bing's way.I saw a burly middle-aged general straddling a war horse in front of him, holding a long lance of one foot and two feet high in his hand, where the iron tower usually stood on the shore! "Wei thief! Take your life!" When Zhang Xian saw it, he didn't have time to greet Zhang Ba. He yelled angrily, slapped his mount, and straightened his steel spear to meet him like an arrow off a string! "Be careful, brother—" Zhang Ba hastily shouted. However, General Wei always had a stern expression on his face, staring at the front with no one in his eyes, and his brows remained unmoved. When Zhang Xian gradually approached, he swung his long spear and stabbed at Zhang Xian. Gently flick the steel spear out! There was a crisp sound of "Zheng", and the spears intersected. Zhang Xian only felt an invisible force rushing towards his chest like a stormy sea, and then his whole body went numb. The saddle flew up, fell down two feet away, fell to the dust with a "click", and couldn't get up for a long time. He flew away, but the horse was still running straight forward, bumping into General Wei's arms!That General Wei was really good at tricks, he still sat on his horse without any haste, let go of the rein with his left hand, and slammed forward——Zhang Xian's mount let out a long hiss, but he tilted its head and rushed forward Go diagonally!Then, General Wei galloped to the front with the guards behind him, grabbed the two reins with one hand, and tidied up Zhang Xian's mount. My God, this horse Zhang Xian is no ordinary colt!That is a fierce cavalry bought with a lot of money from the chief of Xiqiang!Seeing this, Zhang Ba was so startled that his eyes widened!How wild this horse is. When I first bought it, this horse refused to obey. It kicked when it saw the same kind, and bit when it saw the different kind. Even Zhang Xian tamed it for more than half a month. I surrendered it after my butt almost fell apart. With one spear, Zhang Xian could be knocked into the air, and with the other hand, he could trap a fierce horse. This guy is so skilled!I'm afraid it's more ominous for me to forcefully break into Heilinyu this time!Thinking of this, Zhang Ba's legs holding the horse's belly under his crotch felt weak for a while. In his horrified and inexplicable gaze, the general of Wei raised his lance high, and said in a calm voice as calm as a pool of still water: "Niu Jin, the prefect of Xiangyang in the Great Wei Dynasty, is here, wait for Wu Dog to abandon his weapons and surrender quickly." ?!" ... After this volley battle, the two Zhang Ba brothers were picked off by Niu Jin Yizhang Erchangqiang one after another, and died of exhaustion.And the 20,000 pacers from Soochow they brought with them finally escaped the danger, and only about 14,000 people fled back to Zhuge Jin's place. Zhuge Jin was shocked when he heard the news. He no longer wanted to fight at the foot of Mianyang City, so he hurriedly pulled out his battalion and rode 40,000 paces to ride back eastward. At this time, Cao Zhao also got Sima Yi's order, and led 13,000 cavalry to chase out from Mianyang City immediately, and followed Zhuge Jin's army not far or near to guerrilla. In this way, Zhuge Jin's 40,000 troops were attacked by "intercepts in front and pursuers in the back", stumbling all the way, leaving countless luggage and thousands of carts of food and grass, and finally fled outside Xiakou City. Ants escape through the gap in the door. At this moment, Sima Yi gathered his men and horses, gathered together with Cao Zhao's troops, and calmly surrounded Xiakou City from the north, west, and south, leaving only the east facing the river and the water. Fankou on the opposite bank faces each other from a distance. Only then did Zhuge Jin realize that she had fallen into Sima Yi's trick of "catching a turtle in a urn". In a panic, she repeatedly sent letters to Sun Quan in Wuchang asking for help. Sun Quan reacted immediately, and quickly ordered Quan Cong, who was stationed at Fankou, to lead 10,000 sailors to enter the Linjiang sluice on the east wall of Xiakou City for reinforcements.Unexpectedly, Sima Yi's 2,000 warships rushed out of the water village at the mouth of the Han River, and intercepted Quan Cong and the others on the vast river.Since the most powerful water weapon of Soochow, the "Wuyalou Ship", was taken away by Lu Xun to besiege Jiangling City, Quan Cong could only rely on those warships to break the siege—however, they were different from the Wei army's medium-sized battleship fleet. After four days and four nights of confrontation on the river, they were still unable to break through the Wei army's boat formation and kill Zhuge Jin who was on the other side to support Xiakou City. In this way, Xiakou City of Dongwu has completely become an "isolated city" tightly trapped by the Wei Army regiment, and the internal and external situation has become more and more critical!While Sun Quan received thirteen emergency help forms from Zhuge Jin, he also sent seven "Gold Medal King Orders" to Lu Xun who was besieging Jiangling, mobilizing 35,000 elite sailors under his command to quickly Back to aid Xiakou City. Lu Xun never expected that the situation of this game would be turned into such a situation overnight.If he stayed on the west wing and continued to attack Jiangling blindly, then the day when Jiangling got his hands might be the time when the city of Xiakou on the east wing of the Wu Kingdom fell—either capture Jiangling and abandon Xiakou, or return to aid Xiakou and withdraw troops from Jiangling.This was a dilemma before him and he had to make a final choice right away. In the end, the important strategic position of Xiakou City among the towns of Fanping in the east of Wu Kingdom and the "Gold Medal King Order" that came one after another from King Wu and Sun Quan forced him to turn around sadly and give up continuing to besiege Jiangling City. Help Xiakou City! After Sima Yi learned the exact news that Lu Xun had dispatched his troops to the east to reinforce Zhuge Jin, he calmly gathered his troops to form a formation, turned the rear army into the front army, and the rear army into the forwards, and retreated to Mianyang City in an orderly manner. go back.Before leaving, he asked Sima Shi to burn down all the camps in the water village at the mouth of the Han River, and cut off the eighteen-mile "iron chain formation" in Shenjiang. The outcome of this fierce confrontation between Wei and Wu was as follows: Wu State lost a total of more than 16,000 cavalry, and Zhang Ba, the general who conquered Beizhonglang, was beheaded by the Wei army; Wei State lost a total of more than 9,700 soldiers and horses. Among them, Pei Qian in Jiangling City suffered the most casualties. Comparing the two, under the correct command of Sima Yi, Wei Jun finally won a "small victory" of substantive significance in the history of conquering Wu for the first time. Sun Quan’s East Tour Palace is set up on Fangding Peak near Fankou. Outside the carved wooden windows is the vast river, and the Han River in the distance is like a clear and quiet snow field, flowing gracefully and slowly into the grand picture scroll. The big river—and who would have expected that a few days ago, the river here was full of boats and boats, arrows coming and going, and the sound of killing? The mid-autumn season has already arrived in a flash, the rustling cool wind blows past, pieces of dead leaves fluttering up and down, like yellow butterflies, hovering and dancing around the window. Sun Quan leaned against the wooden window and looked west, a few yellow leaves whirled and fell gently on his shoulders - but he didn't realize it. He is forty-eight years old this year, and his angular face is as dignified as cast steel. His light yellow and slightly curly beard and hair make him look like a lion when he looks forward to it—there are faint wolf eyes in his light brown pupils. The general emerald luster is somewhat similar to the appearance of the barbarians in the Western Regions.Anyone who is familiar with his temperament knows that the more serious and serious his expression is at the moment, it proves that the pressure he is under is greater and heavier. "Thump, thud, thump," a crisp sound of footsteps sounded from the pine and cypress wood floor behind him. Sun Quan had already heard who it was, but he didn't turn his head right away. Originally, according to the etiquette of emperors and ministers, any of his subordinates who came to see him in the palace room should be exempted from shoes and hats, and they must be named in praise, but In order to show the love between the emperor and his ministers, Sun Quan clearly stipulated that, except for the court meeting, the ministers must be exempt from shoes and shoes, and they must pay respects and names, and they are not required to be formal on all other occasions.Sun Quan likes to use this kind of relaxed etiquette to shorten the distance between himself and his subordinates, and to harmonize the relationship between himself and his subordinates. In this way, he can not only establish an image of a "wise lord" for himself, but also cleverly spy on them from his subordinates. Treat various manifestations of different issues on different occasions, so that you can make better decisions about state affairs.The majesty and solemn atmosphere above the main hall, everyone is pretending to be serious, but how credible are the high-sounding words they said at that time and that situation?I'm afraid only God knows! In this way, until the sound of footsteps sounded two feet behind him and stood still, Sun Quan asked lazily: "Wei Jun has really retreated? They won't suddenly kill another 'returning carbine'?" Zhuge Jin replied in a timid but dignified voice: "My lord, the Wei army has really retreated. The scouts sent out by the old minister saw with their own eyes that their large force entered Mianyang City." Sun Quan "huh" suddenly turned around like a black panther, and stared at Lu Xun who was standing quietly beside Zhuge Jin with a pair of faint green eyes: "Bo Yan (Lu Xun's The word is "Bo Yan"), do you know who is the commander-in-chief of the Wei army this time? His tactics of "avoiding the truth and pretending to be false", "surrounding Wei and saving Zhao" and "walking with the sword" are really elusive and ever-changing. Ling Gu Wang is also on the brink of death!" Lu Xun stood there quietly, his white robe was always as clean as snow, as if even the dust in the air could not stain the corner of his robe.Sun Quan's sharp gaze like a sword has no effect on him - he is always like a faint white cloud, although he looks unusually soft, but his inner flexibility is enough to tolerate all the sharpness and hardness in this world! Finally, under Sun Quan's focused and almost sharp gaze, he said leisurely: "I heard that his name seems to be Sima Yi..." "Sima Yi..." When Sun Quan heard this name, his heartstrings twitched slightly—as if in the deepest part of his memory, some past events were gradually awakened. The corners of Zhugejin's eyes were full of deep shame: "The old minister underestimated the enemy for a while. When he was pouring his troops into attacking Mianyang, he didn't expect that the thief would not defend but counterattack like a desperate gambler, and instead of retreating, he would instead advance. Going down the Han River to the east and outflanking our important town of Xiakou... The old minister has no command, I implore the king to come down!" "Ziyu (Zhuge Jin's character is "Ziyu"), although you did not expect Sima Yi to have such an 'extraordinary act', how did the lonely king expect it in advance? Forget it! Forget it! Now is it the blame? Time to be held accountable? It should be a good time for us to reflect on ourselves, sum up experience, and learn lessons!" Sun Quan stopped him with a wave of his hand, and said with emotion, "In these years, we have rejected Cao Pi's million boats in Hefei in the east, and the West in Hefei. The anti-Xiahou is still like a mountain armored soldier in Jiangling, with bows from left to right, the battle is not disadvantageous, and the fight is really smooth-fortunately, Sima Yi came today with a "black tiger out of the heart", which poured a slap in our pockets. The basin of cold water made us sober up a lot! Speaking of which, the lonely king is somewhat grateful to Sima Yi!" "Your Majesty is really ashamed to kill the veteran!" Hearing this, Zhuge Jin couldn't help panicking, "The veteran defeated the teacher and humiliated the country, and is willing to accept the punishment!" "Punishment? Tzuyu, what punishment are you receiving?" Sun Quan hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hands to pull him up, his face full of earnestness, "If you want to talk about punishment, the first one who should be punished is the lonely king! As he spoke, he raised his eyes and looked at Lu Xun, "Bo Yan, you suggested that the lonely king send you 60,000 boatmen to take down Jiangling City in one go. If Gu Wang had followed your suggestion, how could there be the loss of the water village at the mouth of the Han River and the defeat of Heilinyu today? Gu Wang asked Ziyu to divide his troops to attack Mianyang with 50,000 cavalry for Gu Wanquan. Now it seems that it is a serious matter Regardless of whether it is true or not—the solitary king made such a big mistake, he must bear the brunt of it and deserve a heavy punishment! The solitary king must destroy his own clothes and food in the palace. "Your Majesty, don't—" Hearing Sun Quan's words, Lu Xun did not dare to remain silent. With a slight emotion, he knelt down and kowtowed, "This time, the battle of 'east and west attack, two-sided attack', the king plans to It is not a big mistake, and it is not our loss in the battle. According to the view of my minister, it is indeed Sima Yi who used his troops with many tricks and tricks, and our army was unable to respond quickly when we encountered a strong enemy, which caused this small loss. Also! Your Majesty, don’t blame yourself too much!” "Bo Yan's words are very protective of the Gu Wang's mistakes. The Gu Wang is really ashamed." Sun Quan smiled shyly, and raised his eyes to the west sky outside the window. No stranger. Zijing (Lu Su's word is "Zijing") also solemnly mentioned it to the lonely king... Wasn't he the official minister in Wei before? The lonely king also thought he was only Sun Shao, Gu Yong is as talented as Jingguo, but he didn't expect that he actually possesses the ability of Han Xin... Sigh! Or the lonely king was negligent in advance and failed to remind you in time..." "Oh? Brother Zijing, have you ever seen Sima Yi's tricks before?" Lu Xun's eyes showed a little surprise, "How did he evaluate this person?" "That's right. Zijing also met Sima Yi back then. But how he got to know Sima Yi, Gu Wang didn't know very well. He told Gu Wang that there are three great heroes in the world today, each with their own names. They are Zhuge Liang, 'Nanyang Wolong' , "Jingchu Fengchu" Pang Tong—the last one is "Central Plains Tomb Tiger" Sima Yi!

Now it seems that, What Zijing said is true: this thief is in charge of Jingzhou for the first time, and he is so cunning and ruthless as soon as he strikes, it is really difficult to deal with!" Speaking of this, Sun Quan suddenly raised his tone, and said solemnly: "Bo Yan, Ziyu, our Jiangdong country is not as powerful as their puppet Wei, and now we have a strong enemy, you must act carefully and think about it to protect the country. Based on this, if there is a 70% chance of winning, you can't act rashly!" "I'll obey you!" Lu Xun and Zhuge Jin bowed in unison, their hearts trembled. After Sun Quan had finished his orders, he stretched out his hand and lightly brushed the few dead leaves falling on his shoulders, relaxed his expression, and said leisurely: "Now that the puppet Wei has Sima Yi in charge of Xiangyang and sitting in Jingzhou, it is bound to grow stronger and stronger. I'm afraid that the strength of our Eastern Wu side will not be easily shaken. No matter—an old saying goes, 'The weak must seek foreign help'. The lonely king has always known himself. When the enemy is overwhelming, he can only follow the example of Duke Huan of Qi's "Nine Heroes" The feudal lords, together resisting the barbarians and Di's move. Ziyu, write a letter to your brother Zhuge Prime Minister of the Shu Han, saying that the lonely king has long cherished the sincerity of negotiating peace and forming an alliance with him, and asked him to send an envoy to negotiate..."
