Everyone believed that Lu Xun's method not only made it impossible to attack Jingzhou, but also made morale fall into the abyss.

At this time, a scout came to report: "Report to the Marquis of Wu, there are traces of Jingzhou soldiers in the Luoxiao Mountains."

Sun Quan asked: "Who will lead the army?"

The scout said: "Jie... Deng Ai."

Sun Quan said: "This must be headed for Xichang."

Kan Ze said: "Xichang is the seat of Luling County. Haven't we already had troops deployed?"

Xu Sheng said: "This is not difficult for the enemy to detect, but if they insist on attacking Xichang, they must have made sufficient preparations. Xichang has thousands of fertile fields, so we must save them."

Lu Xun shook his head slightly.

When Sun Quan saw this, he asked, "What do you think, Bo Yan?"

Lu Xun asked: "Deng Ai sneaked into Yinshan before, did you notice it?"

When it comes to this matter, Sun Quan has one head and two heads.

Because of Deng Ai's sudden appearance, Sun Quan almost died.

Xu Sheng said: "I admit that we were negligent before. Because of this, we sent out more scouts to carefully inspect the enemy's situation. Boyan also said just now that since Yu Jin and Zhao Yun's troops are short of food, they will definitely find a way to capture Xichang.

Harvesting the fertile fields, now that they are here, why does Boyan hesitate?"

The implication is, you didn't even know that the Jingzhou soldiers would attack Xichang, so now that they have really gone, you can't even do anything about it.

Lu Xun said: "Based on Xun's knowledge of the previous battle situation, Deng Ai marched decisively and cunningly. It cannot be ruled out that he deliberately let our scouts find out the news. Of course, this cannot be established in isolation, but based on this, it is still possible

It cannot be said that Deng Ai did it intentionally. But think about it, when crossing the Luoxiao Mountains, it is only advisable to travel lightly. The prefect of Luling, He Qihe Gongmiao, is smart and good at fighting. It is more than enough to deal with a lightly armed partial army; okay, even if

Deng Ai was lucky enough to capture Xichang. Can he hold on until the rice is ripe? Even if he holds on and lets him harvest the rice, can he safely cross Luoxiao Mountain and transport the grain back? Since there are so many uncertain factors, Deng Ai

Why bother taking this risk?"

This series of questions made the generals in the tent speechless.

Lu Xun continued: "In my estimation, Deng Ai is just a suspicious army. Their real purpose is to lure us south to rescue Xichang, disperse our forces, and then take the opportunity to attack Pingdu."

Sun Quan's expression gradually changed from doubt to relief.

At first, he still doubted Lu Xun's ability. After all, Lu Xun did not have rich combat experience except for dealing with a small number of Shanyue rebels, and he was also very puzzled by the persistence strategy he just proposed. However, after listening to Lu Xun's explanation of the suspected troops in Xichang

After analysis, Sun Quan thinks it is reasonable and well-founded.

Sun Quan asked Lu Xun: "Why resist the enemy?"

Lu Xun said: "You can send a general to lead the army south, but the march should not be too fast. Once Jingzhou soldiers enter the capital of Kou Ping, they can quickly return to support and outflank them."
