After the imperial court was over, Jiang Ji and Liu Ye fell to the end and slowly walked down the steps.

When the person ahead walked away, Jiang Ji asked Liu Ye: "Brother Ziyang, do you really think there is no problem with the Grand Sima going alone?"

Liu Ye shook his head slightly: "There is certainly a risk in advancing like this, but if he can quickly occupy Wancheng, it is still worth taking this risk.

However, what I am most worried about now is whether Zhou Ju is really reliable. If the internal and external strategies are bait, then our army will be in danger."

"Since that's the case, why didn't the Duke tell you bluntly before His Majesty? If Zhou Feng had surrendered to our dynasty, then the army might be in danger of overthrowing.

When Emperor Wu was defeated by Huang Gai's bitter plan, he was defeated by the Sun and Liu coalition in the Red Cliff. How could he know that this time, Eastern Wu was not using the same trick again?"

Liu Ye smiled bitterly and said, "The Grand Sima Ye has been investigating Zhou Bingju County for several months. The whole process is reasonable and without real evidence, how can you tell Your Majesty?

At present, there are still too few messages sent back from the front line, so it is difficult to make further judgments. Now we can only believe that Zhou Rui is sincerely here."

"Oh, this is the only way. I hope the decision of Grand Sima is right."

Jiang Ji felt a little powerless. Seeing that he had already walked to the palace gate, he bowed to Liu Ye and said goodbye, each getting on the carriage and leaving separately.

Wuchang, Wugong.

At this moment, Sun Quan was standing in front of the military map hanging on the wall thinking about the current situation. Although he handed over the command power to Lu Xun, he could not completely let go. After all, this was a battle of hundreds of thousands of people, which was related to the future and destiny of the Eastern Wu and his personal honor and disgrace. He could not help but relax at all.

"Where has Cao Xiu gone now?"

Zhuge Jin, who was serving on the left and right, was in charge of military counselors and quickly stepped forward and pointed at the place name on the map with a wooden stick, and replied: "According to the latest battle report from Wancheng, Cao Xiu's army is currently in Shu County."

"Hmph, he came very quickly. It seems that Zhou Feng was very successful in pretending. Cao Xiu has gone deeper in order to make great contributions." Sun Quan sneered.

Zhuge Jin echoed: "What the Supreme One said is that Cao Xiu's army is now less than two hundred miles away from Jia Kui's troops. As long as he takes a step forward, he will enter the ambush circle of our army, and the Wei army will be defeated by that time."

Sun Quan was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately laughed: "If this battle can be won completely, it will not be inferior to the Jieting victory in Western Shu. The Wei army will not dare to underestimate the land combat ability of our Eastern Wu again in the future. Cao Rui's son may no longer dare to invade our Eastern Wu as his father."

After saying that, he thought to himself: "Once a great victory is achieved in this battle, our Eastern Wu will be intimidating all directions, and by then our reputation may be further."

Thinking of this, Sun Quan was even more excited and excited, and he didn't even hear Zhuge Jin's compliment.

"Ziyu, how about you tell me that we will send another army to kill Jiangxia?" After being excited, Sun Quan suddenly came up with an idea.

Zhuge Jin asked in confusion: "The Supreme One's move is..."

"There are three goals to advance to Jiangxia. First, it is normal for our army to deal with the Wei army's invasion to be the case. It is impossible for us to only defend but not attack. If there is no counterattack, Cao Rui and others may see through the plan of surrender. Therefore, we must act more realistically.

Second, the advance of Jiangxia can also mobilize some Wei troops to return to the rescue, which can relieve the pressure on Bo Yan and the others.

You should know that Cao Xiu has 100,000 infantry and cavalry, and there is also Jia Kui's 30,000 army nearby. Even though our army is ready for an ambush, there is still a risk of defeat when fighting. It is better to have fewer enemy troops on the eastern front.

Finally, the main forces of the Wei army have now gone south, and Jiangxia County has become an empty place. At this time, there is a possibility of taking the opportunity to seize the troops." Sun Quan explained confidently.

Although Zhuge Jin felt that his lord had some truth, he still felt that something was wrong. However, he couldn't say what was wrong. So he said: "The Supreme is quite clever, but the Supreme has given the order to command the Grand Commander with full authority to command the battle. Should I send someone to Jiangxia first ask about the Grand Commander's meaning?"

"Hey, soldiers are very fast, and there is no time to seek Bo Yan's opinions. It will take a lot of time to advance to Jiangxia. When the envoy comes back with Bo Yan's opinions, I'm afraid that the fight in Wancheng will have already started, and it will be meaningless to send Jiangxia to the point.

Besides, there are not too many troops attacking Jiangxia. The main reason is to bluff the attention of Cao Rui and others from Lujiang. This is just a small plan, we can make the decision," Sun Quan waved his sleeves and said indifferently.

Seeing that his lord was so confident, Zhuge Jin stopped talking and asked, "Supreme, who should be the general to lead the troops to attack Jiangxia?"

Sun Quan thought for a while and said, "Let Wengui go. Ziyu, you will go and send an order now to lead the troops of Wengui to attack Jiangxia, so that he can make the bigger the momentum, the better."

"promise."

Zhuge Jin took Sun Quan's talisman and left the hall, intending to find Pan Zhang immediately. He walked out of the palace and saw the servants and guards who had been waiting outside the palace gate to greet him. He suddenly felt a thought.

After thinking about it, he still felt that he should inform Lu Xun of Sun Quan's order to send troops to Jiangxia, so he immediately gave a few instructions to a confidant and asked him to rush to Wancheng immediately to tell Lu Xun about the matter.

A few days later, Cao Rui and the ministers received news that the Wu army was invaded in Anlu County, Jiangxia County. According to the Jiangxia prefect Wenpin, the number of Wu soldiers was large, with tens of thousands of people. They attacked along the way and covered the sky with flags and a huge momentum. He is now shrinking his troops and defending the county seat Shiyang and will not come out.

"All the Lords, the Wu bandits suddenly head north to invade Jiangxia, and they must have an ulterior motive. I wonder how all the Lords think our army should deal with it?" Cao Rui once again summoned Hua Xin, Chen Qun and other important officials to discuss matters.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Ji immediately came out to report: "Your Majesty, I think the Wu bandits must have been a fraud. Now our eastern army has penetrated into the hinterland of Lujiang. It is too late for the Eastern Wu to mobilize troops to defend. How could Sun Quan and Lu Xun divide their troops to attack Jiangxia at this time?

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! This must be Sun Quan's suspicious plan. The Wu army wanted to show it to the west, attract our army's attention to Jiangxia, and then secretly mobilized troops to advance eastward to encircle our main army.

Your Majesty, from the perspective of me, the Grand Sima and the others are now in a critical moment. Please send troops to rescue quickly, otherwise the army on the east side will be in danger!"

Cao Rui was shocked when he heard this. He couldn't believe that the situation on the Eastern Front had reached a time of life and death. He felt that Jiang Ji was a little alarmist.

"Your Majesty, I also agree with Shangshu Jiang's inference. The people of Wu must have ghosts in the Wancheng area, otherwise they would not be bluffing in Jiangxia at this moment. Therefore, I asked Your Majesty to quickly order the envoy Jia and the others to speed up their advance to join forces with the Grand Sima." At this time, Liu Ye also expressed his words to echo Jiang Ji.

Seeing Liu Ye say this, Cao Rui finally realized the seriousness of the matter, nodded solemnly, and finally asked Hua Xin, Chen Qun, Sun Zi and others: "What do you think?"

Although Hua Xin and others were not proficient in military affairs, they saw that Liu Ye and Jiang Ji were very well-known, and they thought they would rather believe it than not. Be careful of fighting in battle formations without any big mistakes. Anyway, it is a matter of asking Jia Kui to speed up the march, and it is safe to meet with the Eastern Army earlier.

After understanding this section, Hua Xin and others said in unison: "I will discuss it."

"Okay, according to your wishes, you can draw an order to order the middle army to advance eastward quickly and join the east army."

Liu Ye replied again: "Your Majesty, since the current situation has changed, it will be meaningless for General Cavalry and others to rush to Jiangling. It is better to order General Cavalry to suspend the advance and wait until the situation in Jiangxia and Lujiang are clear before becoming a district office. In this way, the troops and horses of Jingzhou can also be used as a backup plan to prevent the situation from changing again."
