Lu Xun was startled when he heard this, and thought that the Huainan troops of the Wei State had moved to Luoyang, Jingzhou and Guanzhong should have fought more fiercely, why did Liu Bei still have time to proclaim himself emperor in Chang'an?Then Cao Pi just watched like this?In addition, Lu Fan's prestige in Jiangdong was very high, and his death now is very embarrassing.
"Uh... Maybe the news is slow to pass. I don't know about Guanzhong, but the king sent Ziyu (Zhuge Jin) to Chang'an a few days ago to have an audience. I believe Han... I believe His Majesty will agree to a truce..." Situation Bi Renqiang had to bow his head. It was really difficult to tell His Majesty from Lu Xun's mouth, but he still had to admit it.
"The governor is very smart, since His Majesty named me Yangzhou Shepherd, isn't his meaning clear enough?" Lan Tian asked meaningfully.
"General Lan's generation of talents, I thought you would be better than others, but why did you have to start a war? Can't the two families, Sun and Liu, resolve it through peace talks? How innocent are the millions of people in Jiangdong?" Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor and made Jiangdong legal Unable to gain a foothold in politics and at a disadvantage militarily, Lu Xun chose to use morality to kidnap Lantian.
Lan Tian was very surprised when he heard this. In the past, moral kidnapping was very common in the world. In this era, he is used to the jungle. When did Jiang Dong love to be reasonable?Don't Sun Jian and Sun Ce both talk about fists?
"I don't want to hurt innocent people. I want to shepherd the people of Yangzhou for Your Majesty. Now that Your Majesty is the Lord of the World, Cao Pi's puppet regime will be destroyed sooner or later. The governor can go back and persuade Sun Quan to surrender. In this way, the people of Yangzhou will not be ashamed." It will be a disaster, and Boyan and Sun's family members will also be preserved, this should be the best way."
Lan Tian was condescending, and the loudspeaker sounded loud, and the Jiangdong warship not far away could also hear his bold words, which made Lu Xun's face look particularly ugly below.
"The general said that? There's nothing to talk about? Why do you have to be so martial?" Lu Xun looked distressed. Even though he was full of talents and learning, he couldn't convince Lan Tian.
"I admire Boyan's talent and character. Sun Zhongmou is not a wise master. At this time, Mount Tai is overwhelmed. Why should the governor still stand at the foot of the mountain? Why don't we join hands to make Jiangdong rich? The generals under Lu Fan, basically Return to Han with all the parts, don’t be obsessed with it any longer.” Seeing that Lu Xun was at a loss for words, Lan Tian resolutely activated his surrender skill.
Lu Xun was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly looked at Master Sima next to him, thinking that you, a sinister black owl, actually alienated me in person?So he replied angrily: "Lan Ziyu, don't try to seduce me in front of the battle. How can a real man bow his knees and surrender? If you want to kill me, you can use cold arrows."
Lan Tian laughed loudly, and then continued with a loudspeaker: "The two armies are at war. If you don't kill the envoy, the governor should go back quickly. Sun Quan loves to shoot cold arrows. We will see the truth on the battlefield later. If you want to preserve your so-called Soochow, you can learn from Zhou Lang to win more with less."
Lu Xun was so angry that he didn't fight one place, he won the war with less, and he paid attention to the right time, place and people. The situation he was facing now was much worse than that of Zhou Yu. Even if Zhou Lang was resurrected, he couldn't help it, right?
"General Governor, let's go. The opponent's force is superior, and it is difficult to make the opponent retreat." Sima Shi sighed, and then offered advice in a low voice: "I think there should be a lot of water from the east of the Yangtze River mixed in with such a huge fleet in Lantian. Army, we can try to show our feelings later, if the soldiers defect, we should have hope of winning."
"It makes sense." Lu Xun looked at Master Sima with admiration, then clasped his fists and saluted Lan Tian: "Since General Lan insists on going his own way, we'll see you on the battlefield later."
Lan Tian picked up the loudspeaker and replied loudly: "Go to Dudu Hurry up, remember to think about Jianye's wife and children, and think about your family members for Buqu. Surrender is your destination..."
Lu Xun almost fell off the boat after hearing this, and his wife and children were controlled by the opponent. This was the biggest difficulty Wu Jun faced, and he hoped that he could overcome it after the war started.
The two returned to the Wu army fleet by fast boat, and Lu Xun boarded the "Feiyun" to report to Sun Quan dejectedly, briefly explained the efforts he had made just now, and shared Sima Shi's strategy.
Just now, the loudspeaker in Lantian was loud, and the soldiers of Soochow heard it very well, so Sun Quan was mentally prepared, and he nodded slightly to comfort: "Since the governor approves of Master's plan, let's mobilize warships to fight against Lantian." , this time is a battle for the survival of Soochow, Boyan must be careful."
"Your servant will go all out." After saying that, Lu Xun turned around quickly. He went to the deck to summon the generals to deploy the battle, and then went to the top of the building where Sun Quan was, and ordered the warship to attack with colorful flags.
Combat with cold weapons in the water is compared to the superiority of warships and the ability of soldiers to fight in bumps. The Lantian side has all the advantages that the Soochow navy has at this time, so there is no suspense in conventional combat.
Lu Xun pinned all his hopes on incitement. Soochow's warships are now mainly small boats and fast boats. It is easier for soldiers of the Wu army to intersperse on the battlefield and find Jiangdong's comrades among the enemy's warships. Lu Xun believes that as long as one ship turns against , the rest of the ships will follow suit, but the result is not satisfactory.
Those Wu troops who interspersed and incited were recruited and surrendered by Gan Ning's soldiers. After all, those "hostages" in Jianye were much more practical than the so-called loyalty and comrades.
In addition, Gan Ning brought plenty of arrows from Chaisang, and the feathered arrows on the river were like locusts. Lan Ji led the youth battalion to organize shooting on the deck. Use a unified and standard technique to hold the bow and set the arrow.
Because of the high accuracy, Lan Ji even asked the young soldiers to compete in archery, and rewarded the top ten hits.
Gan Ning looked at the hot-blooded young people below, recalled when he was a Jinfan thief when he was young, and thought that this is what a young man in fresh clothes and angry horse should look like.
"Your Majesty, I didn't expect the Second Young Master's arrow skills to be so good..." Gan Ning cupped his fists and sighed.
"Hehe, I probably learned it from General Guan." Lan Tian smiled and nodded, then turned to ask Lan Yuan, "Is Boyang's archery comparable to Zhongling's?"
"We have competed a few times in Guangzhou before. We both won and lost each other. You know that the siege army has a special bow and crossbow battalion. If the child's archery skills are ordinary, it is impossible to convince the crowd." Lan Yuan replied with his fists clasped.
Chapter 872 The Heavenly Horse and the Space Sima Master
Gan Ning stroked his beard and sighed: "A real general..."
"Xingba don't want to joke with me, our Lan family started from Qingping, what kind of general is there..." Lan Tian shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Haha, it will be in the future." Gan Ning responded with a smile.
Lan Tian looked at the river noncommittally. Fighting on water was different from fighting on land. After the rain of arrows was suppressed, it was a hand-to-hand fight to seize the ship. Because there was no land, they would dive into the water. Therefore, people with quick hands and feet had the greatest advantage, but heavy armored soldiers were not suitable.
Gan Ning's direct descendants came from Jinfan bandits. They are all strong and agile, wearing light leather armor and holding a variety of weapons. They don't look like regular soldiers, but they are very eye-catching when robbing ships. Fix Wu Jun's ships, and then climb and jump like apes.
As time went by, the Wu army was persuaded to surrender on the way, but was persuaded to surrender. Gan Ning commanded battleships to form formations during the battle, like cavalry on land, forcibly cutting Wu's ships. Prevent Lu Xun's orders from reaching the front line.
An hour after the battle started on the river, the sun slowly sank into the river west of the Yangtze River, and the battlefield situation gradually became one-sided.
"Governor, the situation doesn't seem to be good." Sun Quan came to Lu Xun with a serious face.
Lu Xun, sweating profusely, clasped his fists and replied, "Jingzhou's navy is not comparable to Wei's navy. Although our soldiers are fighting hard, the gap between the ships is quite obvious."
Sun Quan looked at the sky and reminded: "The sky is about to darken. Gu just asked Hu Zong to send a boat to the south bank. The Jianye garrison also saw the battle on the Yangtze River. There are already troops waiting by the river. We seem to be at a disadvantage."
"But if we give in now, Jianye will be taken over by Lantian, and we can only fight for one soldier, hoping that the enemy army is not used to it at night..."
Lu Xun knew that there was no way out now, and the worst outcome would be to die with Lu Fan, but retreating was tantamount to admitting defeat to Lantian, and he would never be able to regain his morale again.
Sun Quan stroked his purple beard and remained silent. Master Sima reminded him: "The situation may get worse at night. Jianye has already sent people to the riverside to meet him. If all the remaining soldiers in the east of the river are buried in the Yangtze River, the king will have nothing. Why don't we take advantage of the small losses to survive? The reinforcements from Wujun and Kuaiji have not arrived yet."
Lu Xun smiled bitterly and said, "My son-in-law doesn't know that Jiangdong's ships are almost all here. Wujun and Kuaiji are basically infantry. How can they defeat the enemy army? If they can't stop the opponent at this time, Wuhui and other places will sooner or later If it falls, we will no longer have a foothold..."
"Actually..." Sima Shi wanted to speak, but quickly shut up.
Sun Quan looked at the two of them, and said that Lu Xun was worried about Jianye's family members. At this time, the situation was in chaos, and it would be dangerous to continue to command, but Sima Shi seemed to have a good opinion.
"There are more than tens of thousands of officials in Jianye? If Lan Tian takes over this, how long does the governor think it will take him to stabilize? How many soldiers and horses do he need to stay to garrison? The orders of the lonely King Qin have been sent to various places. I believe that Danyang, Wu, Will wait and send troops as soon as possible, when the county soldiers take time off and the mountains are in chaos, can Lantian, the Yangzhou shepherd, be able to sit still?" Sun Quan implied that he wanted to retreat, saying that you Jiangdong gentry are difficult enough to deal with, and I don't believe that Lantian can straighten things out quickly.
"This will cause chaos in Yangzhou, which is not good for us. What will the people of Jiangdong think of us in the future?" Lu Xun still regarded himself as the master of Yangzhou.
Sun Quan clenched his fists and reprimanded him coldly: "Governor, you are confused. If Lantian hadn't blatantly invaded, would there have been such a big mess in Yangzhou? All this is the fault of Liu Xuande and Lantian. Besides, Liu Bei had been displaced for the first half of his life. Like Cao Pi, who ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, Gu will not easily admit defeat."
"Then now..." Lu Xun was speechless. The first half of Liu Bei's life was in turmoil, so he had the opportunity to accumulate strength. Now that the three-legged confrontation is about to be broken, why not give up easily?Without Jiangdong, where can we gain a foothold?
"As Marquis Wen said, I cut off my tail to survive. Try to retreat to Jiangcheng with large ships, and use small ships to hold back Gan Ning's main force. Fortunately, the sky is already dark, and Lantian should not continue to pursue. Let's go smoothly. It can be withdrawn quickly," Sun Quan urged.
"Wei." Lu Xun could only accept the order.
"Marquis Wen, go back to the cabin with Gu." Sun Quan ordered Sima Shi.
"Yes, adoptive father." Master Sima nodded and clasped his fists.
Lu Xun followed the commanding ship to retreat, and the Yangtze River water battle, which lasted for more than an hour, ended anticlimactically.
Master Sima followed Sun Quan back to the cabin, Sun Quan motioned for him to sit down, and then asked meaningfully: "I was outside just now, I saw that Marquis Wen seemed to have something to say, can you tell your adoptive father?"
"Ahem...Father, my child has an immature idea. If Jiangdong really can't keep it, why don't we go north to Liaodong?" Sima Shi proposed a bold idea.
"Liaodong? It's too far from south to north, isn't it? Besides, Gongsun's family has lived there for many years, and you let your adoptive father live under the fence?" Sun Quan looked at Master Sima in disbelief.
Master Sima shook his head and said: "A few days ago, the horse dealers in the north came back, and my son had learned about the situation in Liaodong. The garrison there was actually only [-] to [-] troops. Wei Guo did not send troops to conquer for a long time. The first reason is that it is inconvenient to supply supplies due to the long distance. , The second is because Sun Liu continued to fight Wei in the Central Plains.
If we take the remaining elite soldiers from Jiangdong to the north, bypass Liaodong by sea and land directly, the Gongsun family may not be able to stop it. At that time, we will swallow Liaodong first, then gather the surrounding aliens, and then recharge our batteries and wait for Liu Bei and Cao Pi to fight each other. The vitality of the two families was seriously injured, and the adoptive father led an army of water and land to go south to clean up the mess, and at the last time he was able to occupy half of the country. "
Although Sima Shi's idea was bold, it rekindled Sun Quan's passion that had been dormant for a long time. He said in his heart that Marquis Wu really deserved his reputation.
"Gongsun Gong has a cowardly character, and he also made good friends with me by writing books. In addition, the north is rich in horses and single-minded cavalry. It should be possible to form a large number of cavalry, but the climate in Liaodong is colder..." Sun Quan hesitated.
"The so-called heaven will send a great mission to the people, first..." Sima Shi stopped in the middle of speaking, because he found that Sun Quan's gaze gradually became firm.
"Gu is in his prime, and he is not the one who seeks pleasure. Father-in-law should think about it..." Although Sun Quan loves to play tricks, he is a descendant of Sun Jian after all, and the wildness in his blood always exists. He said in his heart that he is younger than Lan Tian At the age of two or three, he still has tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, so he might not be able to make a name for himself in Liaodong.
The reason why Sima Shi was able to think wildly was mainly because he had nothing now, so he could go to Wu Jun and take Sun Luban with him for a "go and go trip". It was not easy for Sun Quan to give up the wealth in front of him, but at this moment Facing the tremendous pressure from Lantian, instead of being defeated and humiliated, it is better to go to Liaodong and start again.
The building boat Feiyun was originally lying across the river, leaving a five-story wide attack surface, but suddenly turned the rudder and turned the bow, which caught Lan Tian and Gan Ning unexpectedly. Following Feiyun's sails and sailing away to the east, the Yangtze River water battle began. Slowly start to finish.
Gan Ning left some of the ships to finish off, and the rest of the warships approached the south bank one after another. An old man stood by the torch and waited at the pier. When he saw the Soochow warship retreating in disgrace, his suspended heart finally calmed down. .
Jiangdong is settled.
Chapter 873 Zhang Zhao Offers a Plan to Conquer Lu Xun
The old man was Zhang Zhao, and Hu Ke asked him to go out of the city as a representative to work in the army because Hu Ke wanted to build a business in the city, so as to deepen his impression in front of Lantian by the way.
Zhang Zhao was overjoyed after hearing this. Hu Ke was the biggest pusher in controlling Jianye. He thought that Hu Ke would take the credit, but in the end he gave the credit to himself. Zhang Zhaoxin said that Yu Xiu is really a good friend, and he has a kind of hatred Feeling late.
Zhang Zhao mobilized the aristocratic families in the city, asked them to prepare a lot of melons, fruits, wine and meat, and sent them to the wharf to welcome Wang Shi into the city. When Zhang Zhao was standing by the Yangtze River blowing, he felt a sense of relief. Sun Quan can only find a big tree to shelter his descendants.
The officers and men on board disembarked one after another, and Lan Tian was wondering who would welcome him, when suddenly Zhang Cheng behind him was very excited.
"Father, why do you..."
"Zhong Si?" When Zhang Zhao saw Zhang Cheng, he also saw the Lan Tian surrounded by stars, so he ignored his son and rushed to meet him, "Veteran Zhang Zhao pays homage to General Lan."
"Mr. Zibu, please hurry up. This time, Jiangdong was able to return to the Han Dynasty. You, the old man, have contributed a lot. I will reward your majesty for your merits later." Lan Tian helped Zhang Zhao up with both hands.
Under the light of the fire, the two looked at each other in a short period of time. Although Zhang Zhao was not young, he was still hale and hearty.
"If it wasn't for General Lan leading the Master Wang, the land of Jiangdong would hardly see the blue sky again. Zhang Zhaowei's last contribution is not worth mentioning, but Zhongsi (Zhang Cheng) followed the general, so he shouldn't have caused you any trouble, right?" Zhang Zhao acted very modesty.
Lan Tian said to everyone: "Zhong Si has done a lot of merit this time. Before the army left Chaisang, he even sent his followers to Ai County to cooperate with my people to recruit Zhu Ran. At this time, the whole territory of Yuzhang and Luling should be dead. Pingding, Your Majesty will not forget you father and son, and the big man will remember your contributions."
"The general's reputation is too high, these soldiers of yours..."
Zhang Zhao found that some of the soldiers in Lantian were gathering in line, and some were looking for a place to set up tents. The Damen Wharf was only a few miles away from Jianye. Don't they go to the city to rest?
Lan Tian turned his head slightly, and then explained with a smile: "The rest on the boat is very shaking. Many soldiers are used to sleeping on land, so they simply set up camp."
"Uh...that's how it is." Zhang Zhao nodded, and then said with a smile: "The ministers have prepared a banquet in Jianye, and I invite General Lan and the other generals to enter the city to have the banquet first. Drinks come to the pier."
After hearing this, Lan Tian quickly waved his hands: "It's too late now, if you enter the city at this time, you might disturb the people, so you should just rest at the pier overnight, and it won't be too late to enter the city tomorrow morning."
"The general is really kind. This is the blessing of the common people and the luck of Jiangdong." Zhang Zhao complimented him with a smile.
Zhang Cheng quickly reminded: "Father, General Lan is His Majesty's new Yangzhou Shepherd."
"The ruler of Fu is a capable minister who governs the world, and Yangzhou will not have to worry about food and clothing from now on." Zhang Zhao's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood that Liu Bei was bound to win Jiangdong, and he basically would not leave any chance for Sun Quan.
"Tian Fu came to Jiangdong, and he is not familiar with the place where he lives, so he will have to rely on his husband in the future." Lan Tian was very polite to Zhang Zhao.
"If the place of the old minister can be used, I am willing to go through fire and water." Zhang Zhao first responded with cupped fists, and suddenly asked in a soft voice: "The officials and people in the city are still waiting. If the general does not enter the city tonight, can you let the dog go back? Go to the city to report? The old man stays with his attendants."
"Uh...you can go back together." Lan Tian mistakenly thought that Zhang Zhao wanted to keep the hostages, so he readily agreed, and called Lan Yuan to tell him, "Quickly ask Xiu Mu (Zhu Huan) and others, Let's make a count to see if anyone else wants to go home, and go back with Mr. Zibu and his son."
"Wei." Lan Yuan cupped his fists and left.
Zhang Zhaoxin said that Yu Xiu gave up the opportunity to deepen his impression, how could the old man let it go so easily?So he hurriedly waved his hands and explained: "I heard that Jiaozhou's administration is novel and effective. The veteran stayed here to ask you for advice. Zhongsi can go back alone."
"Uh... I'll follow the general's arrangement." Zhang Cheng looked at the two of them, and finally gave Zhang Zhao a satisfactory answer.
"Listen to your father." Lan Tian nodded speechlessly, thinking to himself, why are you father and son singing oboe here?
But what Lan Tian didn't expect was that Lan Yuan asked almost all the surrendered generals, no one wanted to enter the city at this time and go home, and they were all willing to enter the city with the army tomorrow.
While Lan Tian was exchanging greetings with Zhang Zhao on the shore, the simple tent by the pier had already been set up, so Lan Tian invited the generals to enter the tent to shelter from the wind, while Zhang Zhao sent people to send wine and meat into the tent.
The seats in the big tent are in order, if any general from Jiangdong breaks in by accident, he will mistakenly think that he has entered Sun Quan’s main tent. On the left side, Zhang Zhao is headed, seated according to the original official position, all of them are Jiangdong generals, and on the right Headed by Gan Ning, they are all the generals under the command of Lan Tian, and the Lan brothers are ranked second and third.
"Chengyuan, come and introduce Mr. Zibu." Lan Tian pointed to Ding Feng directly. Now he is still a school lieutenant in Jiangdong, so he is at the bottom on the left.
"Wei." Ding Feng clasped his fists and stood up.
Zhang Zhao twirled his beard and nodded lightly, thinking that you can run faster than me, and it seems that Lan Tian is more serious about it, so I'm afraid this person's achievements will not be very low.
When he heard Ding Feng introduce the brothers of the Lan family, Zhang Zhao's old eyes lit up and he felt emotional. He said that these two brothers really deserved their reputation. I'm afraid that if they are not under Guan Zhang, the eldest son Zhang Cheng will not be able to associate with the brothers of the Lan family. The second son Zhang Xiu and Lan Yuan were born in the same year, so they should be able to get in touch with each other more.
Seeing Zhang Zhao nodding his head frequently, after Ding Feng's introduction, Lan Tian asked Zhang Zhao earnestly, "Sun Quan's navy retreated suddenly just now, and it seems that he intends to preserve his strength to resist, but I don't want to use more weapons in Yangzhou. Mister has always been very wise, can you help me pacify Jiangdong?"
"The general's words are enough to show kindness. Zhao just looked around all the generals in the tent. The only person available to Sun Quan is Lu Boyan. Although the two are related by marriage, Sun Quan has always guarded against Lu Xun. As long as the general tries to persuade Lu Xun to surrender, the mediocre people will be left. It will come down with the wind." Zhang Zhao answered with cupped hands.
"Today I tried to persuade him to surrender before the battle, but the governor didn't appreciate it." Lan Tian shook his head.
Zhang Zhao replied: "Lu Boyan is cautious and steady by nature. It is not feasible to recruit him in a few words. We can only send more people to understand his righteousness. He is also the patriarch of the Lu family. The general can use his family as a threat."
"Lu Xun has learned a lot from others. He used hostages to threaten non-gentlemen. It's better to listen to Mr.'s advice and send more people to persuade him to surrender. I heard that Sun Quan's navy berthed at Jiangcheng, and General Gan will bring his warships to overwhelm him tomorrow. I don't know who is in the camp. Would you like to persuade them to surrender?" Lan Tian glanced at the crowd and asked.
"The last general is willing to go." The two people on the left stood up and clasped their fists at the same time.
Chapter 874 There Is No Difference Between Early Voting and Late Voting
The two were located at the back, and Lan Tian found out that it was Luo Tong and Lu Ju, two young generals.
It is no surprise that Luo Tong surrendered earlier. Lu Ju had just experienced the pain of losing his father. Lu Fan was buried by the river where he killed himself. His bones are still fresh. Not to mention that Lan Tian can't understand, even the Jiangdong generals don't understand. Don't you want to save your face for your life?
In fact, everyone didn't understand Lu Ju's difficulties and the huge pressure on him. Although Lu Fan was an important minister in Jiangdong, his status had been inferior to Sun Quan for a long time.
The Huaisi faction was jealous of his high position and power, and the Jiangdong faction cared that he was too close to Sun Quan. On the surface, he was friendly and respectful, but secretly no one had a heart-to-heart relationship with him.
Soochow was shaken at this time, and Lu Fan's army was defeated and committed suicide. Lu Ju endured the grief of losing his father and stood up to ask Ying, in order to dispel Lan Tian's suspicion, so that the Lu family, who had no friends to help, could transition smoothly when the powers changed, so He didn't care about the contemptuous eyes of others.
Soochow's descendant used to be in awe of the Lu family, but now he despises Lu Ju when he sees Lu Ju, and the cycle of karma is vividly reflected here.
"Very good." Lan Tian nodded slightly, and followed his instructions: "Let's not fight unprepared battles. Let General Gan send patrol boats to investigate first tomorrow. If Sun Quan is determined to defend along the river, we have to think of other ways. If the time comes to persuade you to surrender, the two of you can go together."
"Wei." Luo Tong and Lu Ju clasped their fists at the same time.
During the interval of speaking, Lan Yuan clasped his fists and said, "Father, my son has seen the topographic map of Yangzhou on the boat, and the road from Jianye to Jiangcheng is not too far away. If Sun Quan still wants to resist, my son can lead an army to attack him by land." Rear."
"Brother is right, we are advancing by land and water, I am sorry that Sun Quan can't stop it, my boy is willing to be the pioneer of the land route." Lan Ji also became excited.
