Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

Ma Su expressed high recognition for Lu Xun's defense deployment.

It was obvious that Lu Xun was a sensible person and knew what was wrong with him. Therefore, relying on the superiority of the Soochow navy, the Han army's land warfare advantage was almost unlimitedly reduced.

If we really want to scare Soochow into being unable to escape, it will really be troublesome to go from city to city. If you want to capture Jiangling City, it will take until the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse, which is not cost-effective at all.

So Ma Su and Prince Liu Xuan began to provoke all Soochow fronts on the Han River defense line. Moreover, Ma Su relied on his small number of troops and little need for flank security, so he swaggered back and forth on Jingxiang North Road.

In this regard, some generals in Soochow chose to play it safe and refused to leave. However, not all Soochow generals were rational young men, and some generals were so angry that they directly disobeyed Lu Xun's orders and went to war.

In response to this, Ma Su adopted the strategy of hitting, but not hitting hard. All the Soochow soldiers and horses who came out of the city to fight were attacked head-on, and they quickly defeated the opponent with fewer troops than the opponent.

But at the same time, Ma Di also tried his best to suppress the Han army and prevent the offensive from being too fierce. Most of the Soochow generals who fought against Ma Su fled, but they were not very convinced.

Ma Su is indeed ridiculously strong, but he doesn't seem to be that scary. If I bring more steps, I can definitely kill Ma Su!

This is Ma Su's real purpose. Only in this way can he deceive people.

Otherwise, you, a famous general who has been in the northwest for several years and defeated Cao Wei and abandoned his armor, will suddenly become a weakling when you come to Jingzhou. If this wasn't a bit of a conspiracy, even the dogs wouldn't believe it.

Only by giving Soochow the illusion that I admit you are strong, but not invincible, could Ma Di be able to draw out the enemy's large forces.

Ma Di's trick was successful, at least most of the generals had this illusion, including Gan Gui who fled all the way back to Jiangling.

"Grand Governor! Ma Su is indeed very strong, but he is not invincible! In my opinion, only 30,000 troops are enough to keep Ma Su and the Prince of Xishu in Jingzhou!"

Gan Gui fled back to Jiangling. After seeing Lu Xun, she immediately suggested to him with confidence.

"Thirty thousand people! Only thirty thousand people are needed! Someone can arrest Ma Su and the prince of Xishu together! Then we can use them as hostages to force Xishu to abandon Yizhou, so..."

"Shut up!" Lu Xun's face was extremely ugly, and he drew his sword and put it on Gan Gui's neck.

"Disobeying orders on the battlefield, losing territory, losing troops and generals... These crimes of yours are enough to be dealt with by military law! Do you still have the nerve to give me advice like this? Why don't you go tell Mr. Taishan Mansion!"

"Push it out from left to right and kill it!"

Lu Xun decisively ordered Gan Gui's execution, which made Gan Gui look horrified.

"You want to kill me! Didn't you give me the order that the loss of Yicheng is not my fault? Sure enough, there is no integrity at all. It turns out that the rumors are true..."

Gan Gui didn't curse twice before he was picked up by the attendants and dragged out. The curses soon stopped.

"You can only blame yourself for committing suicide. You can't blame me." Lu Xun sat back down with an ugly expression. At this moment, he also noticed Ma Su's plan.

He knew very well that Ma Su had definitely let go, otherwise Gan Gui would not be able to come back intact. When Ma Su did this, he obviously realized that there was something wrong within them and planned to divide them with arrogant soldiers.

But Lu Xun guessed Ma Di's plan, but he was a little helpless. Because this was also his biggest headache, the generals below began to take him less and less seriously.

"Grand Governor! Smoke and dust are rising in the north! A group of Shu troops are swarming in!" At this time, soldiers were urgently sent from the city to report to Lu Xun. Hearing the news, Lu Xun frowned and subconsciously planned to order the city to be guarded and not to fight.

But before Lu Xun could give the order, soldiers from Guan Yu City in Jiangling came to report urgently.

"Grand Governor! General Xu Kai has led his troops out of the city to fight!"

"What!!" Lu Xun's eyes suddenly widened, and his expression suddenly changed.

When Lu Xun rushed to the top of the city to take a look, he saw that Xu Sheng's son Xu Kai had already led the Soochow soldiers and horses to engage the Shu army a few miles outside the city.

Xu Kai brought out 8,000 troops in one breath, and Ma Di directly invested all 3,000 Han troops. After a chaotic fight between the two sides, Ma Su began to gain the upper hand and suppressed Soochow Fang.

When Jian saw this situation, Lu Xun's face became more and more serious, and there was a hint of panic in his eyes.

Ma Su was letting off steam, but only Lu Xun could see it. It was precisely because of this that Lu Xun felt scared, because he had guessed Ma Su's plan.

"Grand Governor! General Xu is at a disadvantage! We must send troops to rescue him!" When a general saw Lu Xun coming, he quickly asked Lu Xun for help.

"The Shu army is powerful, and Ma Di is even more talented in the world. General Xu's few people can't stop them. We must send people to respond, otherwise the troops outside the city will be completely annihilated!"

"Commander! Now the Shu army has been delayed by General Xu Kai. If we send a few soldiers to attack behind it, we will inevitably..."

"Okay! Everyone be quiet!" Lu Xun suddenly turned around and looked at the generals with a stern face and said,

"Pass my order! No one is allowed to go out to fight! But those who plan to go out of the city to rescue can be killed first and then reported!"

"Everyone is staying in the city, no one can leave the city!"

As he spoke, Lu Xun personally took out the sword Sun Quan gave him and struck it on the city in front of everyone to warn everyone.

At this moment, the last image of Lu Xun in the hearts of the generals completely collapsed. Even Lu Xun's confidants looked at Lu Xun with a bit of bad meaning.

"Captain, you really fear Shu as you fear your father! How well done!" A general praised Lu Xun directly to his face.

Lu Xun said nothing about this, but reiterated that no one was allowed to leave the city.

Lu Xun bets that as soon as Jiangling City opens, Ma Su will rush in, and Wengcheng cannot stop it. So no matter what, he has to be a bastard who refuses to save his life.

"Is the person on top of the city the commander-in-chief of Eastern Wu, Sun Boyan?"

At this time, a joking shout suddenly came from the city. Lu Xun suddenly turned around and saw Ma Di escorting Xu Kai at the gate of the city.

But more than 8,000 Soochow soldiers and horses were completely defeated and scattered one after another. In response, the Han army did not capture prisoners, but lined up to protect Prince Liu Xuan.

"Sun... no, it should be called Lu Boyan. After all, you are Lu Ji's half-brother. Except that you don't have the blood of the Lu family, you are completely a member of the Lu family." Ma Su looked happily at Lu Xun on the top of the city. Lu Xun said with a strange look in his eyes, as if he wanted to eat someone.

"I would like to thank Governor Sun for such a generous gift! If it weren't for the Governor's help, I might not have been able to achieve this great feat while protecting the crown prince!"

"It's just like Tong Yao, who is sung by children in Sichuan. He made a clever plan to bring peace to the world, but he lost his generals and his troops!"
