Chapter 18 Fighting Jiangling

Although Lu Zheng has a reputation, he has never been to the battlefield, let alone any military talents. He said that he would listen to Guan Ping's command this time, and Guan Ping would go wherever he said he would go.

Xu Sheng carefully placed the map he collected in front of the two of them and slowly opened it, saying proudly:

"When Huang Zu's son Huang She came, there were only five hundred in my city. Huang She was arrogant and boasted about his skills under the city. He seized the opportunity to lead the crowd out of the city to fight, and severely injured Huang She and seized this picture."

He tapped his fingers on it and said with a smile:

"I thought that the young general and Bo Yan would lead the people north from Xiakou to attack Shiyang, Jiangbei. The small city of Shiyang must be without precautions. If the young general breaks the city, Liu Envoy can also send troops to respond to it, which will greatly slash the spirit of Cao's army."

Although Shi Yang is in Jiangbei, he is far away from the current main force of Cao's army and is very close to the current station of Liu Bei's army. In Xu Sheng's opinion, Guan Ping has not experienced much training, so he just bluffs and makes a fuss. Choosing Shi Yang's soft persimmon is the safest and most efficient method.

Lu Yi held his arms and thought, and nodded slowly.

It is already considered successful that the troops that were temporarily pieced together could be mobilized to reach the destination without a mutiny.

Shi Yang is not a big deal (the current situation seems to be like this). Maybe Cao's army is not stationed there, and occupying it will be considered as completing the mission.

Now it depends on Guan Ping’s choice.

Guan Ping stared at the map straight, but his thoughts floated to the time he parted with Zhuge Liang by the river.

At that time, Lu Su and Xu Sheng were by his side. Zhuge Liang said a lot of polite words to the people of Eastern Wu in a sincere manner, and then whispered a name in his ear.

Zhang Yun.

Zhang Yun had always been in a bad relationship with Liu Bei, so he joined forces with Cai Mao to try his best to stumbling to Liu Bei, but he was Liu Biao's nephew, and it was difficult for Liu Bei's army to greet his family, which was very uncomfortable.

He surrendered voluntarily that day, and it was logical that he should have been brought to Xiakou together, forcing him to reflect on his previous sins and encourage Liu Bei's army to fight from the upper and lower levels.

But unexpectedly, when Guan Ping went to the future, Zhuge Liang secretly released Zhang Yun - this means that Zhuge Liang was deeply trusted by Liu Bei's army, otherwise he would have to fight on the spot.

When Zhuge Liang separated from Guan Ping, he specifically talked about Zhang Yun in a low voice. Although Guan Ping was extremely confused, he could guess that there must be something wrong with this.

Could it be...

Guan Ping's heart was pounding, he felt that he had guessed something.

Could it be that the military advisor had reached some agreement with Zhang Yun before, or...

In other words, Zhang Yun has turned to us since a long time ago! This is very likely. Cao Cao occupied Jingxiang, and to use Cai Mao and other Jingxiang wealthy families. Zhang Yun like this, who has a relative relationship with Liu Bei must stand aside.

The more Guan Ping thinks, the more he feels it makes sense.

He dragged the map and studied it slowly. When Xu Sheng saw that his eyes began to slowly approach upstream, he began to frown little by little.

"Brother Xu, Bo Yan, it is easy to attack Shiyang, but if so, how can we intimidate Cao's army? Mr. Zhang, Mr. Lu has given me a lot of hope. If he only attacked Shiyang's small city, wouldn't it disappoint Mr. Zhang?"

Xu Shengshen agreed and nodded:

"That's right, the young general thought..."

"How about Jiangling?"

Xu Sheng: Clams?

·

"What did you say?"

In a mansion by the Chaisang River, after hearing Lu Yi’s return, Lu Ji couldn’t help but get up and widen his eyes.

Lu Yi looked tired and said with a wry smile:

"Yes, Guan Ping said that beating Shi Yang might be ridiculed by the people of the world. He asked me if I dare to lead my army to fight Jiangling with him?"

Lu Ji dragged across the map suspiciously, confirming that there was no other place in this generation called Jiangling. His handsome face was suddenly covered with clouds.

"Impossible, there must be something strange about it." He said firmly.

"Is it because Guan Ping is brave but not wise?" Lu Yi asked.

Lu Ji, five years younger than Lu Yi, has long been a famous scholar in Jiangdong. He waved his sleeves and sneered: "How is it possible? To fight Jiangling, you must go to Xiakou. Even if Guan Ping is brave but not scheming, is it that Liu Bei's army is brave but not scheming? You lead your army through Xiakou and tell Guan Yu that you are going to fight Jiangling. See if Guan Yu will immediately come down to arrest you and others!"

Lu Yi nodded silently and did not continue to argue with the uncle.

Lu Ji sat down heavily, pressing his hands tightly on the table. His face, which was always gentle and smiling, looked particularly ferocious and crazy. He didn't look like a handsome scholar, but like a crazy wild beast ready to choose people to eat.

Lu Yi knows his uncle very well.

This elegant scholar who was famous in Jiangdong was burdened with deep hatred, and his goal was to make the Sun Quan family go to pieces and never get rid of it. For this goal, he immersed himself in conspiracy and calculations from the day he took over as the head of the family.

In recent years, Lu Ji has frequently used conspiracy, secretly provoking internal struggles from Sun Quan's family, while attracting Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong's attention with a righteous argument. Gradually, the argument of surrendering to the court in the Qing Dynasty in Jiangdong was formed.

It’s a pity that Sun Quan still has an elite soldier. Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu and others who are commanding the troops are extremely difficult to penetrate.

After a few years of hard work, Lu Ji finally realized that if he wanted to eliminate Sun Quan, he could only rely on Cao Cao's elite troops. If the Sun-Liu alliance was successful, it would bring considerable pressure to the Northern Army, which was not good at water battles.

According to Lu Ji's previous plan, whether Guan Ping attacked Shiyang or Jingcheng or Xunkou would be dead. Lu Jie attacked him and tied him up and gave him to Cao's army.

But Guan Ping actually wanted to fight Jiangling...

Jiangling and Chaisang are far away, with Xiakou in the middle. Liu Bei is more controllable than these Jiangdong soldiers on the Yangtze River for thousands of miles.

If there are any mistakes, all previous efforts will be wasted, and some people will be lost. It would be a big problem to make Liu Bei and Sun Quan deepen the alliance in turn.

Reminding Zhuge Liang's strange whereabouts, the young Lu family head was even more undecided.

Now that Zhang Zhao is standing with Lu Ji, he naturally feels that something is wrong with this.

Cao Cao himself is probably in Jiangling now, so what is wrong with Guan Ping's plan?

"Xu Sheng said, Zhuge Kongming and Guan Ping had whispered something in his ear when they parted. Liu Bei lived in Jingzhou for a long time, and maybe he had any arrangements in Jiangling." Lu Yi reminded.

Lu Ji was excited and asked:

"Why not ask Xu Wenxiang to ask carefully?"

Lu Yi shook his head:

"No, Xu Sheng said this was a major military event. He was afraid of making a mistake after drinking, so he did not dare to ask."

Lu Ji vaguely felt that there must be something wrong with this, and he didn't know what to do for the moment.

Zhang Zhao pondered for a moment:

"Xu Sheng is simple and cannot hide his worries. I will send a few people from Xuzhou to his army to investigate carefully and will definitely gain something."

"Then I'll have to work for Mr. Zhang." Lu Ji breathed a little relieved and waved his hand to let Lu Yi retreat.

Lu Yi nodded and was about to bow and retreat, but Lu Ji called him again, with some concern in his words:

"Boyan, why are you so tired today? It seems that you have sorrow in your heart."

Lu Yi smiled humbly:

"I am worried about my uncle. When my nephew heard that he wanted to do big things, he was quite frightened and couldn't sleep day and night, so he made his uncle laugh."

"So that's it." Lu Ji smiled, "Please be relieved. If Mr. Zhang is planning with me, don't worry. Wait... Humph, no matter what tricks he has, he will capture this person alive after Xiakou. I think he has any tricks."

Lu Yi looked grateful and saluted again, and respectfully left the house.
