Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

"What? Boyan, are you going to take the initiative to attack?" Ding Feng was stunned after hearing Lu Xun's words, as if he had gotten to know Lu Xun all over again.

"Bo Yan, don't take the rumors outside too seriously. The Supreme One still trusts you. Don't worry about those juniors in Jingzhou who don't obey the management. I will help you deal with it. Don't be impulsive..."

"Chengyuan! Do you think I'm so motivated?" Lu Xun smiled bitterly and shook his head, looking at Ding Feng and asking calmly.

Ding Feng didn't say anything to this, but looked at him with a "don't you" look on his face.

In this regard, Lu Xun immediately understood that although Ding Feng trusted him, he was still more or less affected by the rumors. So Lu Xun shook his head gently, then got serious and said,

"Chengyuan, don't worry, I, Lu Xun, haven't been so angry yet. And even if I act on my own initiative, I won't risk the Supreme family's wealth."

"My plan to attack Xishu has been well thought out and I have already made a complete plan."

With that said, Lu Xun spread out the map and showed Ding Feng the strategic deployment he had already made.

Lu Xun's plan was not to attack Xiangfan to the north. Everyone knew that the south was difficult to attack. In particular, it was obvious to all that Soochow's army was pulling its hips, and Lu Xun would not touch this bad luck.

His goal was Wuling, or in other words, the entire Yangtze River defense line that Xiang Chong was responsible for. Moreover, Lu Xun's goal this time was very clear. He mobilized 40,000 troops and 20,000 naval troops at one go, preparing to storm the Shu Han's Yangtze River defense line.

At the same time, Lu Xun also planned to involve troops from Jiaozhou in the south and launch troops from Jiaozhou against Nanzhong. At this moment when both Wei and Shu were planning to recuperate, Lu Xun was preparing for a big battle with Xi Shu.

Ding Feng was a little confused about this and couldn't figure out what Lu Xun was planning to do.

"Bo Yan, Wuling is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and Xishu has been operating here for several years. The passes of the Yangtze River are extremely difficult to attack, especially since Ma Di himself is in Chengdu now. Even if we attack it, we can't hold it. !”

"I don't intend to fight him down either." Lu Xun said so shockingly that he shocked Ding Feng.

"and you……"

"My goal was to mobilize the Shu army so that they could not rest in peace. Through this method, I forced Xi Shu to send troops to fight at this time." Lu Xun said slowly, with a hint of helplessness on his face.

"Although the Northern Expedition in Western Shu made rapid progress in the eighth year, it was already too militaristic. This is why Ma Su is promoting tax reduction and recuperation policies in Yizhou."

"If we allow Western Shu to rest and recuperate smoothly for a year or two, we will be under great pressure when they attack. So we must find a way to mobilize their troops so that the Shu army is exhausted from fighting and unable to rest and recuperate."

As he spoke, Lu Xun drew all the lines of Wuling, his expression already full of seriousness.

"Wuling is already sparsely populated and cannot support many troops. If we launch a large-scale attack, Xi Shu will have to recruit grain and troops from Yizhou if they want to confront each other."

"And Ma Di himself is famous for being warlike. He will definitely not sit idly by. As soon as the war starts, Ma Di will definitely come to the front line in person, and Yizhou's strategy of recuperating will be affected."

Of course, Lu Xun still had a more important plan that he didn't say. He planned to take advantage of this battle to let the generals below, who had never seen the world, see with their own eyes how capable Ma Su was.

Only if they see with their own eyes how obvious Ma Su's betrayal is, will they obey his orders honestly. Wuling's water network is densely covered, and the Soochow Navy has the backing. Even if it is a big defeat, they will not lose everything in one battle.

Not only can it attack the opponent to recuperate, but it can also be used to train troops to enhance one's own prestige. Lu Xun's plan is already considered the optimal solution at the moment.

Otherwise, if Ji Han calms down, he will have to face Ma Su who has no worries. It's hard to say whether Lu Xun can stop Jingzhou at that time.

After Lu Xun explained, Ding Feng basically understood what Lu Xun meant. However, he still frowned and asked Lu Xun another question.

"Since you have this plan for a long time, why don't you make this suggestion to the Supreme?"

He remembered that the reason why Lu Xun asked Sun Quan for troops was that Jingzhou faced huge military pressure from Western Shu, and it was not at all that he wanted to fight an outsider.

Regarding this question, Lu Xun fell into a long silence and had no intention of answering.

With his reputation, if he told the truth, would the nobles in Yangzhou agree? If the aristocratic families in Yangzhou had started to obstruct him from the beginning, he would most likely not have been able to get even a single soldier from Yangzhou.

This is why they are all strategies to spread rumors and slander, but they work particularly well in Soochow. After all, Sun Quan is not the actual controller of Soochow, and most of Soochow's decisions require the opinions of the aristocratic families.

Once there are more people making decisions, the power of rumors becomes apparent. In particular, Lu Xun had many enemies in Yangzhou, and those wealthy people did not care whether the rumors were true or false when they attacked him.

Therefore, for Jingzhou's grand strategy, Lu Xun had to make this move. He believed that Sun Quan could understand his difficulties.

As for the aristocratic family, as long as the rice is cooked, they can't object.

Ding Feng was not clear about Lu Xun's plan. But he keenly felt that Lu Xun had begun to hide something from Sun Quan.

Although this is a last resort,...is there really no problem?

After Lu Xun prepared for three months in advance, all pre-war preparations were completed. In November, Lu Xun sent a letter to Sun Quan asking him to attack Western Shu, and said that all preparations were in place and he was just waiting for the supreme order.

As Lu Xun expected, many aristocratic families in Jianye fiercely opposed it. But facing the other side who was already prepared, Sun Quan still nodded and agreed despite the pressure.

But after agreeing with Lu Xun, Sun Quan's eyes became more inexplicable.

Regardless of the setbacks along the way, Lu Xun had indeed completed his deployment. After Sun Quan's order arrived, 60,000 Wu troops, under the personal command of Lu Xun, launched a massive offensive against Ji Han's Wuling front.

At the same time, the entire Han River defense line was on high alert, blocking the North Road to stop the Shu army in Nanyang.

Lu Xun had big plans for this battle.

After detecting the large-scale invasion of the Soochow navy, Xiang Chong quickly sent a report to Chengdu. At the same time, he quickly ordered the Han army on the Yangtze River line in Wuling to prepare for a deadly battle with Soochow.

When the battle report from the front line was delivered to Ma Su in Chengdu, Ma Su was completely shocked by the battle report.

"Lu Xun led the troops of Soochow to take the initiative? Is this ten thousand-year-old bastard going to stop shrinking today?"
