Previous page Return to Catalog Next page
- Yuan Shang succeeded to the throne of Wei King, Yuan Tan must be busy competing with his good brother for the throne, and he must not have the intention to look south.
As for Guanzhong, now that Ma Teng and Han Sui have ceased fighting and the two have reconciled, Cao Cao has to guard against the Xiliang army and wants to advance eastward to gain the benefits of Yuan Shao's death, so naturally he has no intention of taking care of Yan Liang.
As for Soochow, Sun Quan is busy putting down the Shanyue Rebellion, Zhou Yu has also returned to Wuzhong to recuperate, Chai Sang's Wu army has been reduced to less than 10,000, and the governor is Lu Su, the peacemaker, and the Wu people pose a threat to Jiangxia , has also been reduced to a minimum.
The external environment that Yan Liang is facing now has never been so comfortable. If he doesn't take the opportunity to take Jiangling at this time, how long will it take?
That day, Yan Liang and his advisers made a plan to take Jiangling south, and began to quickly assemble troops and horses, allocate grain and grass, and only waited for the end of spring plowing in half a month before sending troops south immediately.
As for the plan to capture Jiangling, it is not that complicated. Naturally, the troops will be divided into two groups, one going south from Xiangyang, and taking Dangyang Avenue directly to Jiangling.
The other way is naturally to use the navy to go west from Xiakou and march to Jiangling by water.
After deciding on the general strategy, Yan Liang suddenly discovered that he still faced a big problem, that is, he lacked a capable navy general.
To attack Xiakou by both land and water, Gan Ning would naturally be needed to lead the navy. As for Xiakou, with Manchu staying behind, the city could also be secured.
However, there are still 10,000 Wu people on Chai Sang's side. For safety reasons, Yan Liang must keep some naval forces on guard.
Yan Liang is not afraid that the Wu people will take the opportunity to attack Xiakou. What he was afraid of was that the Wu people would block the Han River and cut off his food route south.
Although Manchong defended the city, he was not good at commanding the navy. It was obviously inappropriate for him to command the remaining navy to ensure the smooth flow of water transportation.
This means that in addition to Gan Ning, Yan Liang also needs a good fighter who is proficient in water warfare.
It¡¯s a pity that except Gan Ning. However, there is no one under Yan Liang who is good at water combat.
Just when he was worried about the person to stay in Xiakou, Yan Liang's eyes lit up and he suddenly thought of someone.
"Grandma, I've been busy taking concubines these days, but I forgot that I still have such a treasure. Come here, prepare your horse."
Yan Liang suddenly realized. After leaving the military mansion, he rode his horse straight to the military camp in the south of the city.
This camp in the south of the city is different from other camps. A prison camp to be precise. Those imprisoned here include the Xiliang Army, Yuan Army, Jingzhou Army, and Wu Army.
These prisoners who had not yet made up their minds to surrender to Yan Liang were placed here and received ideological education every day.
In order to persuade these prisoners to surrender, Xu You, under Yan Liang's instruction, specially selected some eloquent people from the surrendered new army. Then the prisoners from the same hometown were divided among them according to their place of origin. Let him use the closeness of his fellow villagers to persuade and educate the captives from all over the world.
Yan Liang entered this camp. Go straight to the gathering area where Wu prisoners are gathered.
Stepping into the clean barracks, I saw that the young general was boringly teasing ants on the ground with tree branches.
Yan Liang has also seen many captives. Many of his generals were born as captives.
When they were prisoners, all of them were either sad or generous. It was the first time that Yan Liang encountered a prisoner who was so bored that he played with ants.
The same prisoner, this person is indeed a little different from ordinary people.
Yan Liang moved the corner of his mouth slightly and said loudly: "Lu Ziming, are ants fun?"
Lu Meng was stunned for a moment, and when he raised his head, he realized that Yan Liang had come in.
He stood up, threw the branch away, cupped his hands and said with a wry smile: "It turns out to be General Yan, you locked Lu up here and had to eat and sleep all day long. If you don't have some fun, wouldn't you be bored and die of suffocation? "
There was a bit of sarcasm in Lu Meng's words. His relaxed and calm attitude was very much like that of a general, and Yan Liang admired it quite a lot.
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to be bored, I will give you a great pleasure now." Yan Liang said and sat down.
Lu Meng¡¯s eyes moved slightly, apparently hearing the mysterious sound from Yan Liang¡¯s words.
He rolled his eyes, but said calmly: "I wonder what kind of fun Yan Liang wants to give Lu Meng?"
"It's very simple, surrender to me and help me to conquer Jiangling. How about this? This thing should be more interesting than teasing ants. ()( "
Yan Liang didn¡¯t mince words and simply stated his purpose.
"General Yan, you want Lu to betray Wu Hou." Lu Meng smiled bitterly and did not refuse on the spot, but he also did not agree.
Lu Meng's clear attitude made Yan Liang confirm that Lu Meng's loyalty to the Sun family was not high at the moment. After this period of imprisonment, his remaining loyalty had been shaken.
Yan Liang did not force him, but asked: "Lu Ziming, I would like to ask you, where do you rank among the generals in Soochow?"
Lu Meng was startled again, a trace of confusion flashed across his eyes.
"Wu Hou has many good generals under his command, but Lu is just a newcomer with little qualifications. How can he be ranked high?" Lu Meng said silently.
Yan Liang smiled and said, "Then let me ask you another question. Lu Ziming, where do you think you should be ranked among the generals of Soochow?"
Hearing these words, Lu Meng's originally silent face quickly flashed a strange look.
That is a look of confidence.
After a moment of silence, Lu Meng said: "When it comes to martial arts, Meng feels inferior to him, but when it comes to his military strength, Lu Meng can confidently say that looking at the generals in Wuzhong, except for the governor of Zhou, there are not many who can." Above Lu Meng.¡±
Lu Meng¡¯s words and gestures all expressed confidence and even a bit of arrogance.
Yan Liang thought that he was right. Lu Meng was indeed a little arrogant, and arrogant people often have great ambitions.
This ambition of Lu Meng is exactly where Yan Liang starts.
"Okay, then I will let you do the math. You, Lu Ziming, are confident that you are extremely talented, but among the generals in Jiangdong, you are not even ranked. If you submit to me, if nothing else, I will be able to do it right away. Let you become the second most popular person in my navy. Think carefully about who you can follow to get ahead."
Yan Liang has already offered a price. As long as you surrender, he will make you the second navy general.
Of course, with Lu Meng's qualifications and abilities, Yan Liang believes that given time, he will be able to surpass Gan Ning, but right now he has not made any achievements. If Yan Liang lets him surpass Gan Ning like this, wouldn't it chill Gan Ning, a general who has repeatedly made military exploits? .
Hearing the word "two", Lu Meng's heart jolted, and a hint of surprise clearly flashed in his eyes.
He had to admit that Yan Liang's words spoke to his heart, and the conditions Yan Liang offered were so tempting.
"With his current strength, it will be a matter of time before he defeats Liu Qi and completely conquers Jingzhou. If he wants to gain a foothold in Jingzhou by then, he will have to make great efforts to expand the naval army, and he doesn't have many good naval generals under his command. If I submit to him Didn¡¯t he suddenly become a minister of Yuan Gong"
Lu Meng's thoughts were rolling like a tide, and he was weighing the pros and cons in his heart.
Yan Liang looked at his expression and realized that Lu Meng was quite shaken.
At that moment, he sneered and said: "The God-given opportunity is right in front of you. Whether you can seize it depends on you, Lu Ziming. Of course, if I can't get such gold as you, I will never let others get it. "
After all the good words were said, Yan Liang added a threat at the end. The meaning was very clear. If you, Lu Meng, do not submit to me, Yan Liang, you will only die.
Lu Meng's expression was shocked, and he clearly felt the killing intent emanating from Yan Liang. He also knew very well that the hero in front of him would definitely do what he said. If he did not agree to submit, he would turn against him and kill someone in the blink of an eye.
"With both kindness and power, this Yan Ziyi is really a master of attacking the heart"
Lu Meng sighed secretly in his heart, weighed for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh, cupped his hands and said: "Thanks to the general for not giving up, he values ??this unknown person like Lu Meng so much. If Lu Meng doesn't know how to praise him, won't he make the world laugh at him, and he is willing to serve the general as a dog and a horse. labor."
In history, one of the four commanders of Soochow finally surrendered to Yan Liang.
Yan Liang was so proud and excited that he couldn't help laughing, stroking his shoulders and saying: "Very good, I like smart people like you who know the current affairs. If I can get a good general like Ziming who is both wise and brave, I will not worry about not being able to win him." Just a Jiangling.¡±
Lu Meng was very happy to receive such a high evaluation from Yan Liang, and he also felt a sense of happiness to meet Bole.
Overjoyed, Lu Meng suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said: "My lord just said that he wanted to capture Jiangling. I have been bored these days, so I did some research in private. I have some ideas about capturing Jiangling. I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ¡±
"This Lu Meng has actually been thinking about how to capture Jiangling for a long time. It seems that he has long wanted to surrender, and he is just waiting to propose his plan to me today"
Yan Liang knew clearly what Lu Meng was thinking, but he looked overjoyed, "It turns out that I have a good plan tomorrow morning, but it doesn't matter."
Lu Meng was so excited that his mood immediately became high. He drew circles on the ground with tree branches and drew a simple topographic map.
"The general estimates that the total number of lord's soldiers and horses should be around 50,000, of which at least 5,000 must be left behind.To defend Nanyang, Xiakou will probably have about 10,000 troops left. This means that the lord's troops that can be used to attack Jiangling should be about 35,000. "
What Lu Meng said was similar to the troop deployment decided by Yan Liang and his advisers. This wise general really lived up to his reputation.
When Yan Liang secretly praised, Lu Meng continued: "As for Liu Qi's Jiangling Army, the total number of troops should be around 25,000, including about 10,000 naval troops. The general guessed that the lord's plan is to use the naval army to counterattack To advance from Jiangxi, we must first defeat Huang Zu¡¯s 10,000 naval troops, and then advance by land and water together to encircle Jiangling. I wonder if this is the case?¡±
Yan Liang nodded and said: "What you said is right. Jiangling is adjacent to the Yangtze River to the south. If Huang Zu's navy is not annihilated, how can we complete the siege of Jiangling."
At this time, Lu Meng showed a somewhat confident smile, "Although Jiangling is also close to the water, it is quite different from Xiangyang. Huang Zu's navy will naturally be annihilated, but the general thinks that there is something wrong with this sequence. ¡±
This Lu Meng is really confident, and he directly dares to deny the plan made by Yan Liang's wise men.
"Interesting" Yan Liang raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing his strong interest. (Welcome, your support is my biggest motivation.) - Didn't finish reading?
