When He Qi's troops arrived at Jishui, they learned that Xichang had been captured by Deng Ai, and they couldn't help but sigh.

The last time he fought with Deng Ai, Deng Ai only existed as a suspect, so he reserved both offense and defense. Therefore, He Qi did not have a deep understanding of Deng Ai's ability to unite the army. Only today did he know that although this person is unknown,

, but it should not be underestimated.

Originally, He Qi only went to support Xichang, so he did not have many troops and horses, and he did not have any equipment. Now that Xichang has been captured by Deng Ai, it will be difficult to recapture it with just the troops at hand.

Therefore, He Qi stationed where he was and passed the news to Pingdu, waiting for Sun Quan's next instructions.

Pingdu, who was under Sun Quan, was shocked to hear that Xichang had been captured. Only then did he realize that he had wrongly blamed Lu Xun, so he went to Lu Xun's residence to apologize.

At this moment, Lu Xun was sitting on the bench. When he saw Sun Quan arriving in person, he immediately stood up to greet him.

Sun Quan held his hand and said, "Bo Yan is a great talent, and he knows Li Qi's intentions very well. It's Bo Yan's fault."

Sun Quan was originally a proud man. He took charge of Jiangdong's political power at a young age and had a strong sense of superiority in his heart. However, once the situation forced him, he was able to weigh the importance of face and country.

Regardless of whether it was true or false, at least the last people who were held by Sun Quan and talked to were people like Zhou Yu and Lu Su.

Lu Xun was flattered and said hurriedly: "Marquis Wu made a serious statement. It is our duty to protect Jiangdong's foundation."

Sun Quan sighed: "Xichang is where the granary of Luling County is located, and thousands of hectares of fertile fields are about to be harvested. I want to raise an army to recapture Xichang, but I am afraid that Li Qi will take advantage of it, occupy Pingdu, and point directly at Yuzhang County. Alas!

"

Speaking of this, the past events of when Li Qi led his army to sweep through Yuzhang County and forced Sun Quan and his relatives to pay compensation are still vivid in our minds.

Lu Xun said: "Don't worry, Marquis Wu. Xun insists that Li Qi's goal is always the Xichang granary and will not attack Yuzhang in a large scale. The only current solution is to abandon Pingdu and fight in Luling County."

As he said this, Lu Xun asked the boy to spread out the map of Yangzhou and point to the Yuzhang County Road: "In the past, Li Qi captured Yuzhang County, but he proposed to marry Wu Hou and pay compensation. Why? From Yi Xun's point of view, the north of Yuzhang County,

The east and south sides are all under the jurisdiction of our army. If Li Qi takes possession of Yuzhang County, he will be able to penetrate deep alone and be surrounded by enemies on three sides, making it extremely difficult to defend. Therefore, Li Qi then retreated as soon as he saw the opportunity..."

This ellipsis originally meant to talk about what "good" Li Qi saw, which was nothing more than compensation for marriage. After Lu Xun considered it, he decided not to talk about it.

Sun Quan nodded frequently, looking open-minded and eager to learn.

Lu Xun continued: "If Li Qi captures Luling County, the situation will be much better for him. Please take a look, Marquis Wu..."

"The troops in Jintun were stationed in the city, which not only protected Jingnan, but also contained the military strength of Yuzhang County, so the northern part of Luling County would have no worries; the south of Luling County was under the jurisdiction of Jiaozhou Shigong, and Li Qi and Shixie had always been on good terms, so

There is no need to guard heavily. Only the east side can be guarded by a general. If you retreat, you can protect Luling. If you advance, you can take Linchuan and Jian'an. In addition, there are thousands of hectares of fertile land in Xichang that are about to be harvested. As Li Qi intended, Luling must be there.

County. Now, although Li Qi has sent Deng Ai to occupy Xichang, Deng Ai is just a lone army. As long as Wu Hou sends his troops south, it will not be difficult to defeat Deng Ai. Then he will stick to Luling County, making it impossible for Li Qi to implement his plan, and he will naturally withdraw his troops."

Sun Quan was overjoyed and said: "I am alone with Lu Boyan, so I have no worries."

Sun Quan originally planned to promote Lu Xun to the rank of governor, but he was afraid of losing Xu Sheng's heart. Fortunately, he was on the front line, so he could take more of Lu Xun's opinions and make other arrangements after the war here was over.

So Sun Quan mobilized all his troops from Pingdu and went south, intending to recapture Xichang.

Lu Xun also suggested: "In order to save Xichang, Li Qi is very likely to pursue our army. He can set up an ambush along the way to dampen his spirit."

Sun Quan followed.

But Li Qi was discussing matters with Pang Tong, and suddenly he heard that spies came to report: "Sun Quan has raised an army of 30,000 and marched south to Luling."

Li Qi felt puzzled and said, "In this case, wouldn't Pingdu be empty?"

Pang Tong waved the small fan in his hand and said: "This is not a good thing. Obviously, Sun Quan has seen through our plan. Deng Ai is alone in Xichang and is in danger."

Li Qi nodded and said: "If we lose Xichang and gain only a level, what's the point? We can raise troops to pursue Sun Quan and move the battlefield to Luling County."

Pang Tong was silent for a while and said: "Since Sun Quan saw through our plan to occupy Luling, he might have expected that we would follow closely. How could he not set up an ambush along the way?"

Li Qidao: "But Deng Ai is alone in Xichang, how can he resist Sun Quan's army? After finally winning Xichang, we can't let him withdraw his troops, right?"

Pang Tong stroked his short beard under his chin, but could not think of a way. He shook the small fan in his hand and said: "Our army can first capture Pingdu, and at the same time let the two generals Guan and Zhang go south to attack Ai County, causing Sun Quan a disaster.

Create the illusion that we are going to encircle Yuzhang County. In this way, Sun Quan may return his troops to Yuzhang County and the siege of Xichang will be relieved. Even if Sun Quan fails to fall into the trap, seeing that Yuzhang County is in danger, he must rush to attack

Xichang, in order to avoid being attacked from both sides. In this way, the ambush troops along the way will be withdrawn, and our army can speed down the Jishui River to rescue Xichang. However..."

Li Qi asked: "But what?"

Pang Tong sighed: "But this puts higher demands on Deng Ai's defense capabilities. He must defend the city when Sun Quan attacks more urgently. If he is not careful, the city may be destroyed.

Death."

Li Qi was silent.

Deng Ai and Hao Zhao of Deng Ai's tribe are both famous generals of the younger generation, and they are also the figures he has finally prepared for the later period. Liao Hua is an old buddy who followed him from Xicheng. How can he put them in danger? This is related to the group.

The battery life.

But if you give up the opportunity to attack Pingdu and directly pursue Sun Quan south, you will most likely be ambushed, and you still don’t know where they will set up an ambush and what kind of ambush they will set up. Maybe the entire main army will be trapped.

On the way, Sun Quan fell into his trap.

Pang Tong stood up, took a few steps, and said, "Actually, creating the illusion that we are encircling Yuzhang County has another advantage."

Li Qi looked up at Pang Tong without speaking.

Pang Tong said: "Sun Quan decisively mobilized all the troops in Pingdu to rescue Luling County, which was completely opposite to his original strategy of protecting Pingdu. Tong guessed that Deng Ai's capture of Xichang made Sun Quan realize that Lu Xun's previous suggestion was right, and he was very

It is possible that Lu Xun was re-elected. If we encircle Yuzhang County, it is equivalent to telling him: What Lu Xun said is wrong, we have never thought about Luling County at all, what we want is Yuzhang County."

Li Qidao: "Send two messengers to give instructions to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's troops. One messenger is in the light and the other is in the dark."

Li Qi's move was in the hope that Sun Quan's people could intercept the messenger from the Ming Dynasty, and know his "intention" to encircle Yuzhang County in advance before Guan Yu and Zhang Fei actually went south, so they could withdraw their troops early, and at this time
Chapter completed!
