Zhao Tong knew very well that Lu Meng was Sun Quan's confidant and would never surrender even if he was on the verge of death.

What you are doing now is just to shake the morale of the Wu army!

But when he looked at the guards on both sides of Lu Meng's side, and their expressions did not change at all, he already knew that the will between them was beyond the comparison of ordinary soldiers.

"Lu Ziming, since you insist on not surrendering, then just wait quietly to be my prisoner."

"Hmph, you are not ashamed to speak loudly."

"Then come on, I will stay with you until the end!"

The threatening words did not frighten Lu Meng at all, and he still responded extremely forcefully.

The two faced each other tit for tat, full of gunpowder, and no one was willing to admit defeat in terms of momentum.

Say it.

Zhao Tong knew that his plan failed, so he turned around and boarded the ship to return.

"General, are the Jingzhou Army planning to encircle and annihilate our army next?"

After the two sides separated, the atmosphere on the warship suddenly became slightly dull for a while.

With the help of the Wuxi barbarians, You County is now under attack again.

Everyone already knows what it means.

They are now completely locked up in Guiyang County.

If the Jingzhou Army launches a full-scale siege later, the entire army will have no way out except being wiped out.

After saying this, Lu Meng looked at the guard general standing next to him with a resolute face and an extremely complicated expression.

After listening to his inquiry, he pondered for a long time before a smile appeared on his face.

"Don't think too much, just stick to the defensive line."

"You have to believe that Marquis Wu will definitely not abandon us!"

Now, Lu Meng could only comfort the soldiers with a forced smile.

But the results were minimal...

In this way, with the successive defeats, the battle situation became more and more corrupt, and the fighting spirit and fighting spirit among the soldiers in each unit had long since disappeared.

Returning to the camp, Lumen made a special inspection, and then he could only sigh helplessly.

In this battle, our side really lost both his wife and his troops.

With the current low morale of the entire army, even someone as confident as him does not have the confidence to withstand it for long.

the other side.

Waiting for the recovery of the important town of You County.

Not only did it cut off the connection with Lu Meng's troops, it also created a gap in the Leishui defense line.

Next, if you want to forcefully cross the Lei River and conquer Guiyang County, you don't have to face the Wu army head-on.

All of this, the situation seems to be developing in a good direction.

Lukou.

In the camp.

Sun Quan, who was supervising the battle here, also received the recent battle reports in a timely manner.

After discovering that the situation of Lu Meng's troops was becoming more and more critical.

He could no longer hold his breath.

The scouts were immediately called back and asked loudly: "How is Cao's army's current offensive? Has it broken through the defense lines in the north of Nanjun?"

As soon as this statement came out, the scouts did not dare to be negligent and handed over their hands to report the truth.

"Reporting to my lord, the Jingzhou army has suppressed Cao's offensive."

"Since Guan Yu, the commander-in-chief of Jingzhou, is personally in charge of Jiangling, Cao's troops from all directions coming from Xiangyang and Jiangxia are only on the outer defense line and cannot advance!"

"It cannot threaten the hinterland of Gangneung at all."

The words fell slowly one after another.

Sun Quan fell into deep thought.

Anxiety was gradually growing in his heart.

If the front line in Jingbei is still unable to break through, then the Jingzhou Army can continue to gather heavy troops in several counties in southern Jingzhou.

The situation faced by Lü Meng's troops became more and more critical.

What should we do now?

When he was in danger, he suddenly thought of someone.

So he immediately sent someone to invite him.

It took quite a while to wait.

Lu Su, who was dressed in military uniform, slowly walked into the camp, bowing his hands in salute.

"I'm sorry!"

Seeing this, Sun Quan immediately waved his hand, and then said with a hint of asking for advice on his face: "Zijing, I think you already have a very clear understanding of the current battle situation in Jingzhou."

"I wonder if Zijing has any strategies to break the situation? Can you teach me?"

He spoke quickly, and his words were said with utmost sincerity.

That’s it!

Lu Su's expression became calm, and he responded leisurely: "My lord, if you want to deal with the unfavorable situation in the current war situation, Su has three strategies, but I don't know how you will choose?"

"Oh, if Zijing has any good ideas, please tell me quickly!"

As soon as these words came out, they immediately gave Sun Quan a shot in the arm, causing his face to be filled with a smile, and he asked relaxedly.

"This first policy is the best policy. If you want to calm down the incident, your lord should immediately send envoys to Jiangling to stabilize Guan Yu, so that the Jingzhou army will not launch a large-scale attack to encircle and suppress the main force of Lu Ziming's troops for the time being."

"Then, send people to Chengdu to meet with Liu Bei and persuade the two families to resume their alliance and fight against Cao's thieves together!"

"Liu Bei has always taken it as his own duty to support the Han Dynasty, and now Cao and Liu are fighting for Hanzhong County. If the war is about to begin again, he certainly does not want to fight our army to the death!"

"As long as the two families can make peace again, the lord can immediately strengthen his troops and wait for the opportunity to seize Hefei and open up the channel for the navy to enter the Huaihe River."

"As soon as the Huaihe River reaches the east of the Yangtze River, we will have the capital to compete in the Central Plains and move forward and retreat freely."

Let some words be spoken first.

After hearing this, Sun Quan's face was not at all troubled.

When he saw Lu Su's situation and still suggested that the two families unite to fight against Cao, he felt a little bit more resentful in his heart.

Since the counties in Jingnan had not yet been taken, he was already worried about the Jingzhou Army.

Now that Lu Su suggested this, he naturally felt extremely uncomfortable.

but.

He still forcibly suppressed the impatience in his heart and asked with a smile on his face: "Zijing, what are the last two strategies?"

One word fell.

Lu Su paused for a moment and wanted to continue replying, but a trace of disappointment appeared on his face unconsciously.

"My lord, these two strategies are the middle ones. My lord still sends people to stabilize Liu Bei. Guan Yu and his ministers can just wait for the changes after the Hanzhong War and look for opportunities to compete for the counties in Jingzhou again."

"The last strategy is the last one. The lord can continue to submit the alliance letter to Cao Cao, who is supervising the army in Chang'an, agreeing to divide Jingzhou equally between the two families, and order him to send a large number of troops south to conquer Jingzhou."

"This will put pressure on Jingbei's defense line and create opportunities for our army to attack Jingzhou with all its strength."

After a lot of words, Lu Su's face was calm and expressionless when he described the final two strategies.

Only when he mentioned the best strategy, he became slightly happy.

He advocated an alliance between Sun and Liu to fight against Cao's army. This strategic plan was a plan he had already formulated for Sun Quan before the Chibi War.

Just because the world structure is dominated by Cao Cao's family.

Only in this way can the two families maintain the situation of equally dividing Jiangnan.

Otherwise, once the two families fight due to internal strife, it will only be a lose-lose situation for both parties.

That would only make Cao reap the benefits.

The world structure has not changed significantly now.

He still hopes that the two families can join hands to fight against Cao, at least to weaken the strength of the Cao family, so that after the three families are balanced, it will not be too late to break with the Liu family.

But now looking at the expression on Sun Quan's face, Lu Su knew very well in his heart that he still couldn't let go of capturing Jingzhou.
Chapter completed!
