Chapter 732: Three Questions and Three Answers to Find the Secret

Since there are great interests ahead, Sun Quan always acts quickly.

Just a few days later, an imperial edict written by Sun Quan himself was delivered to Lu Xun.

After reading the contents of the imperial edict, Lu Xun couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Yu Fan, who was standing by, saw that Lu Xun looked happy, so he asked, "Why are you so happy, General?"

Seeing Yu Fan's curious look, Lu Xun, in a good mood, directly handed Sun Quan's edict to Yu Fan.

After reading the contents of the edict, Yu Fan showed a look of surprise on his face.

Yu Fan was happy that Lu Xun's plan was recognized by Sun Quan, but he was surprised that Lu Xun seemed to have the ability to predict the future.

"I didn't expect that before I wrote to His Majesty to request troops, Mi Yang would quietly help me once."

Although Sun Quan had given Lu Xun great autonomy in the use of troops in the hall before.

But in war, defense and offense are two different things.

Especially if he wanted to attack Jingzhou where Mi Yang was stationed, Lu Xun had to get Sun Quan's permission for such a major event.

Lu Xun had been worried about this before.

Lu Xun's words made Yu Fan's face even happier.

At the same time, there was a teasing look on his face.

"I have to admit that the Mi bandits are indeed good at using surprise troops. If there hadn't been any accurate information, I wouldn't have believed that the Mi bandits could actually come up with the tactic of turning defense into offense and launching a surprise attack on Bowang.

But everything in this world has its pros and cons.

The capture of Bowang by the Mi bandits gave the bandits the initiative in the northern Jing area.

But as Your Majesty said in the imperial edict, Bowang will become a useless piece of wood to hold back the bandits.

There is only one Mi bandit, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Jingzhou. When both sides are pinned down in northern Jingzhou, it is the best time for our army to launch a large-scale attack on Jingzhou."

Although Yu Fan's words were a bit hindsight, at least his analysis was very reasonable.

Seeing that Yu Fan was quite insightful, Lu Xun planned to give Yu Fan another surprise.

After Lu Xun signaled with his eyes, a servant soon delivered a letter of intelligence to Yu Fan.

Yu Fan realized that this letter might contain important information.

So he opened the information in his hand and started reading it as quickly as possible.

As Yu Fan expected, the content of the intelligence did surprise him even more.

"The bandits secretly transferred the Public Security garrison to northern Jing a few days ago?"

After realizing this great event, Yu Fan stood up excitedly.

A few days ago!

I think the reason why Mi Yang mobilized the public security garrison was to prepare for the next attack on Xuchang.

Being prepared for everything is indeed in line with Mi Yang's style.

However, Mi Yang's action actually helped Wu Jun a lot invisibly.

Because this news was too unexpected, Yu Fan asked with some doubt the next moment:

"General, is this news absolutely true?"

The reason why Yu Fan had doubts was that he had a fear of Mi Yang in his heart.

Fear leads to lack of confidence.

But Lu Xun did not have this problem.

Facing Yu Fan's question, Lu Xun smiled and said:

“Although Public Security Commander Guan Ping has been trying his best to conceal this news, some things become more suspicious the more they are concealed.

Besides, Guan Ping has a loyal character. Without Mi Yang's order, why would he rashly do such a dangerous thing?"

Although Lu Xun was saying that Guan Ping was honest, he was actually saying that Guan Ping was not good at strategy.

A person who is not good at strategy is unlikely to use such a cunning trick.

Lu Xun's words made Yu Fan put aside his doubts.

Soon, Yu Fan became excited.

"If this news is true, then our army should march out as soon as possible!"

However, Yu Fan's suggestion did not get Lu Xun's approval.

"Not urgent."

"Most of Mi Yang's troops are still in Yiyang, and his next move is still unclear. Our army must not act rashly.

The best time for our army to send out troops is when the Han army and the Wei army are in a stalemate."

Lu Xun’s words made Yu Fan think deeply.

But there was one thing that Yu Fan still didn't understand.

“Although a fierce battle with the Wei army would consume most of the bandits’ energy.

But if Mi Ze heard that Jingzhou was in danger, given his character, he would make the decisive move of sacrificing pawns to save the chariot. "

Yu Fan’s concerns are justified.

Although the current situation is somewhat similar to that of Guan Yu's first Battle of Xiangfan, there is one huge difference.

The biggest difference is that the Wei army at that time was unparalleled in momentum. They were not lacking in heroism and were able to hold back Guan Yu's army on the front battlefield.

Only in this way, even if Guan Yu later learned that Gong'an was about to be attacked, he was worried about the safety of Jingbei and could not withdraw his troops decisively, which led to Mi Yang's opportunity to appear in the end.

But today is different from the past.

Although there were no folk rumors about fear of Mi Yang in Cao Wei, Yu Fan could infer through common sense that the Wei army, which had experienced several defeats, had long lost the courage it had in previous years in front of Mi Yang.

Otherwise, why did Cao Xiu lead his troops to hide in Wancheng?

Given this difference, if Mi Yang decisively withdrew his troops from northern Jing, would Cao Xiu still care about the friendship of the alliance and risk a frontal attack on Mi Yang?

Most likely not.

If Cao Xiu had not led his troops to respond in northern Jing, Mi Yang, who would have had no worries, would have been able to lead his troops back in time to provide support before Lu Xun captured Gong'an.

Lu Xun was very satisfied to see that Yu Fan could think of this.

But if Yu Fan could think of it, how could he not think of it?

"Zhong Xiang, you may have misunderstood my intention.

I want to attack Jingzhou and recover the lost territory.

But I never thought that I could take over Gong'an City in such a short time.

What I thought was that as long as I could lead my army to block the main roads between southern and northern Jing before Mi Yang led his troops to defend the city.

If we can do this, the public security will be trapped in the siege of our army, and it will only be a matter of time before we capture them. "

When Yu Fan heard Lu Xun say this, he immediately understood.

If this was Lu Xun's purpose, then whether Mi Yang would return to defend the city would not pose much of a threat to the Wu army.

Because even if Mi Yang could return to defend in time after receiving the news, this action would definitely take some time.

During that period of time, as long as the Wu army was prepared, they would be able to block all the important roads in time before Mi Yang led his troops back to defend Gong'an.

The Wu army's navy is too powerful, and it is now the flood season. The Wu army's mobility in Jingzhou is no worse than the cavalry's mobility on the plains.

But soon another doubt arose in Yu Fan's mind.

"If this is the general's intention, why doesn't he send troops now?"

Yu Fan's doubt made Lu Xun burst into laughter.

“I’m waiting for news.

I'm wondering if Mi Yang is really in Yiyang County now!

Mi Yang is too cunning, I must be on guard against him.

And if Mi Yang is really in Yiyang..."

At this point, Lu Xun stood up with his hands behind his back and said firmly:

"Our army has a chance to wash away the shame of the past public security!"

Either you don't move, or if you move it will be a fatal blow.

Only in this way can we defeat the powerful enemy Mi Yang.
