Chapter 1988 The old trick repeats itself

After the fall of Wu, the local forces in Jingzhou, composed of Lu Kang, Shi Ji and Bu Xie, were in charge of the local military and political affairs of Jingzhou. With the fall of Sun Hao's small court, Jingzhou has become the last world of the remnant Wu forces.

Among the three giants, General Lu Kang naturally became the chief minister, with the second highest minister in Jingzhou Mu Shi, and the governor of Xiling Bu Xie again. Both of them followed Lu Kang's horse.

The three of them were originally divided into three places. Lu Kang was in charge of Wuchang. Wuchang was the capital of Wu. Sun Quan proclaimed himself emperor here and later moved the capital to Jianye. However, Wuchang was still a very important existence to Wu. In fact, after the fall of Jianye, Wuchang had become the new political center of Wu.

The capital of Jingzhou is in Jiangling, Nanjun. Shi Ji has always been the governor of Jiangling, and the governor of Xiling Bu Xie is naturally also in charge of Xiling.

Xiling is the western gate of the Wu Kingdom and the border between the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu. Its strategic location is particularly important. Since the Battle of Yiling, Wu Kingdom has used Xiling as a defensive fortress and has been sending heavy troops to garrison.

The three giants, which had no intersection, were each in the same place and were in peace, but with the fall of Jianye, the situation in Jingzhou had undergone subtle changes. Jiangling and Xiling, which were originally at the forefront of the strategy, had relatively little change. The originally safest situation in Wuchang became dangerous. In view of this, Lu Kang specially invited Shi Ji and the Bu Xie to lead troops to support Wuchang and discuss major plans.

In the Lu Anti-Lu Anti-Japanese plan, the defense battle of Jingzhou will be organized with Wuchang as the center. Wuchang will occupy the Yangtze River in the north, connect to Chaisang in the east, connect to Jiangling in the west, and Baqiu in the south. If these four barriers can be defended well, Wuchang will be as stable as a mountain.

Among these four passes, Chaisang Pass became the top priority, because after the Wei army captured Jianye, it would inevitably advance westward to Chaisang, and Chaisang naturally became the first target of the Wei army.

Lu Kang used to serve as the governor of Chaisang, and no one knew better than him that Chaisang's danger was not in Chaisang Pass, but Pengze Lake. Only by guarding Pengze Lake and the dangers of the mountains and rivers of Chaisang Pass were effective.

Therefore, Lu Kang specially allocated most of the Wuchang naval army to Bu Chan, and he led the fleet eastward to Chaisang Pass and fought a decisive battle with the Wei army at Pengze Lake. As long as Bu Chan's naval army could curb the offensive momentum of the Wei army, it could ensure that Chaisang was not lost.

In the first few months, Bu Chan confronted the Wei Navy many times, maintaining an invincible momentum and steadily defending Chaisang, which reassured Lu Kang and took a reassurance.

But no one expected that after a few months of peace, a bad news suddenly came, the navy was defeated, the fall of Chaisang, and the east gate of Wuchang was lost. This was the heaviest blow to Lu Kang, who was determined to build a plan for the Wuchang defense war.

Especially the navy led by Bu Chan was almost the pillar of the Wu army in Jingzhou, and Lu Kang did not expect that they would be defeated so miserably.

According to the mainland, the main reason why Buchan's navy failed was that the Wei army used a catapult to fire fierce oil fire bombs and stone bombs. Buchan did not make any defense in advance and fought with a dense formation, so he encountered a devastating blow.

Cast car? Fierce oil fire bomb?

Lu Kang couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. After the defeat of the Jianye Battle, Lu Kang strictly prevented the Wei army's catapult carts based on the information he had. He even ordered all warships of the Wu army to be within two miles of the shore unless necessary, especially in areas with unknown enemy situations, to maintain a sufficient safe distance from the shore.

But Lu Kang was still unable to defend himself day and night, so Cao Liang actually installed the catapult car on the warship. This kind of creation beyond imagination is enough to subvert anyone's views.

If the Wei army's catapult car was on the shore, they still had a chance to guard against it, but if the Wei army installed the catapult car on the ship, then the Wu army would really have no chance.

Wu has been governed by the natural danger of the Yangtze River for many years and has been in a row with the Wei State. The biggest reliance comes from the navy. But now that this reliance is gone, the entire Wu State has become ruined, and Lu Kang is also frowning and looks helpless.

At this time, Shi Ji, who had been silent, suddenly said that he had a solution. Lu Kang couldn't help but look happy and said hurriedly: "What's your opinion with Brother Shi? Why should I say it bluntly."

Shi Ji glanced at Lu Kang and then at Bu Xie, who was still immersed in the sorrow of losing his brother.

Shi Ji said slowly: "Now that the navy has been destroyed and Chaisang has fallen, the situation in Jingzhou is already in danger. Once the Wei army advances to Wuchang from both land and sea, with the strength we have in our hands at this time, it is simply not enough to resist the Wei army, and Jingzhou is in danger. According to my opinion, it is better to raise Jingzhou and surrender to resolve the crisis."

Bu Xie was heartbroken when he heard about his brother's death, and was constantly mourning. He was also absent-minded about today's discussions. But at this moment, he was shocked when he heard Shi Ji's words that wanted to surrender and said angrily: "I killed my brother against Wei, and I am irreconcilable with him. How could I surrender?"

Lu Kang also looked a little displeased and said, "Why did Brother Shi say this? He rebelled against Wei and violated our Jiangdong territory and harmed the two emperors' orders. As ministers, we should be loyal to our death and serve the country. How can we surrender because of the strong enemy's power and be ridiculed by the people of the world?"

Shi Ji said calmly: "Brother Lu, Brother Bu, don't veto it. The one who surrendered in a certain dialect was not to surrender Wei, but to surrender Shu. Shu was an alliance with our country. If Shu sent troops to help, you can get peace in Jingzhou."

Lu Kang showed a contemplative look on his face and said, "Does Brother Shi want to use the power of Shu to fight against Wei?"

Shi Ji smiled slightly and said, "Yes. Now the situation in Jingzhou is in danger. Our troops alone are not enough to fight against the Wei army. Therefore, we must rely on the power of Shu to have the opportunity to defend Jingzhou. However, if Shu is not good, it will not send troops easily. Therefore, someone has the intention to surrender to Shu. The Shu people have been coveting Jingzhou for a long time. If we promise Jingzhou, the Shu people will be moved."

Shi Ji's plan was not what he thought of now. When Sun Chen was in power, he harmed loyal and kind-hearted people, killed the royal family, and made the entire Jiangdong chaotic. The situation was critical. At that time, Shi Ji had secretly contacted Shu and offered Jingzhou to Shu, hoping to use Shu's troops to kill Sun Chen, clear the monarch and maintain the overall situation of Wu.

However, later, Zhang Puding successfully killed Sun Feng by Lu and others, and Shi Ji's plan was not implemented. Now Shi Ji proposed this plan, which is equivalent to a repeat of the same trick.
