Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

Chapter 668: Perfectly Avoiding the Correct Answer

Ruxuwu, as the only foothold of the Eastern Wu in Jiangbei, was very solid after being repaired by Sun Quan.

No matter it was Cao Cao at the beginning or Cao Pi later, the army could only defend the city honestly after arriving at Ruxuwu. So according to the Eastern Wu’s idea, this time it should be another long-lasting confrontation with the Northern Army.

But who knew that Ma Su would not play by the normal routine at all this time. Less than half a month after the siege, the siege equipment was not yet complete before the fierce attack on Ruxuwu was launched.

The Han army’s successive attacks made the Eastern Wu side confused and dizzy. Lu Kang, who was defending the city, had to personally supervise the battle on the top of the city wall, which barely stabilized the situation.

This was when Ma Su himself did not participate in the battle. If Ma Su led the troops, who knows whether the Eastern Wu could hold on.

"Crazy! Completely crazy! Doesn't Xishu care about the loss of its troops at all?" After repelling the Han army's offensive for the seventeenth time, Lu Kang muttered with blood all over his body, looking at the Han army retreating like a tide.

"Is it Ma Su who is crazy, or the entire Xishu high-level officials who are crazy! They are attacking so hard, even if they take down Ruxuwu, they will not get it, right?"

After a month of fierce fighting, the Eastern Wu side had as many as 6,000 casualties. As the attacking party, the Han army probably lost tens of thousands.

Such a fierce battle is the first time Lu Kang has seen it since he entered the government. If the battle continues like this, even if Ruxuwu is defended, the Eastern Wu troops will suffer heavy losses!

At this time, Lu Kang could not understand Ma Su's idea.

After repelling the Han army's offensive, Lu Kang dragged his tired body back to the city to report to Sun Quan. However, when he met his own emperor, he found that Sun Quan's face was gloomy at the moment.

"Your Majesty!"

"Yuanxun, what is the reason for an enemy who has always been extremely cunning suddenly becoming extremely reckless?"

Sun Quan did not look at Lu Kang, but kept his eyes on the map. While his eyes kept flashing with the brilliance of thinking, he suddenly asked Lu Kang.

Lu Kang was slightly startled by Sun Quan's question, and then answered subconsciously.

"If so, then we should consider whether the opponent has other calculations. After all, there must be something wrong when things are abnormal. If..."

"That's the problem!" Sun Quan slapped the table that had lost three corners fiercely, and his face was gloomy as if water was about to drip.

"Ma Su has become famous since he started in Longyou, and his achievements are all traceable, and they are basically all risky moves. Such a person, even if he hates me deeply because of personal grudges, would never make such an impulsive move!"

"Now the Shu army has suddenly changed its normal state, and there must be other calculations!"

As the overlord of the southeast who came to power at the age of sixteen, Sun Quan's military talent is indeed almost zero, but his political level is absolutely beyond reproach. During the half-month battle, Sun Quan was very sensitive to the smell of conspiracy.

It's not like he had never fought against Ma Su before. This was a bastard who liked to take risks. When he wanted to attack Gong'an, he was cut off by him, and lost tens of thousands of people in one battle...

So now the Shu army suddenly attacked recklessly, and Sun Quan could feel something was wrong even if he was slow.

Ma Su definitely had other calculations, but he didn't know it yet!

In this regard, Lu Kang also fell into deep thought and began to think with his mind. After Lu Kang looked at the map again and again, he finally set his sights on Jianye.

"Could it be that Ma Su is planning to use the same trick again, using a small force to sneak across the river in a small boat and attack Jianye?" Lu Kang guessed uncertainly.

As soon as this was said, Lu Kang didn't do anything, but he found that his supreme suddenly changed his face.

Don't say, this is really something Ma Su can do!

You know, although the Dongwu navy is strong, it can't stand the width of the Yangtze River. What's more, the main force of the navy is now blocked in Xiakou, and the troops used to guard the Jiujiang Danyang line are even smaller.

If Ma Su took a small force to cross the Yangtze River in a small boat and attacked Jianye. Based on Sun Quan's understanding of the combat power of his own troops, Jianye will fall without suspense!

And the most important thing is that the person in charge of Jianye now is Zhuge Ke, the son of Zhuge Jin!

Although this nephew of the prime minister of Ji Han is a tough war faction, people's hearts are separated from the belly, who can really be sure? Sun Quan thought of the unsuccessful mutiny at the beginning of the year, but Zhuge Ke told him that he had no discovery at all...

"Quickly dispatch Luo Tong to help! I personally led 20,000 troops back to Jianye, and I must not let the rear be lost!"

Sun Quan was also decisive. After thinking about all this, he quickly made arrangements.

Since it has been determined that the frontal attack of the Han army is a diversion, there is no need to block all the troops here. Sun Quan immediately mobilized 20,000 troops to return to Jianye to guard against possible enemies from Yangzhou.

At the same time, he ordered Luo Tong to lead troops back as soon as possible and divide the troops to cooperate in blocking the river.

After Sun Quan completed the deployment, he did not even take a break, and began to return south with part of the troops on the same day. A series of edicts he issued were also issued, and the whole of Jiangdong began to respond.

Sun Quan's series of decisive deployments could have saved Jiangdong's life under normal circumstances. However, his operation this time was not very appropriate.

Because in the Han army camp outside Ruxuwu City, Ma Su was sitting leisurely in the military tent watching the battle report from the front line.

"Tsk... you'd better say it, the level of Dongwu's defense is really good. My 70,000 troops took turns to fight for a month, and lost more than 13,000 people, but there was no splash at all."

Ma Su looked at the battle report and was amazed, but he didn't feel distressed at the huge loss.

This time, he recruited the local soldiers from the three states of Guandong, that is, the private soldiers of the wealthy families. These troops were almost branded with the attributes of the wealthy families. For Ma Su, the greater the loss, the better.

Although this is a bit cruel, no one has a choice in the face of the dynasty's major events.

This time, Ma Su's purpose is very simple, which is to simply borrow flowers to offer Buddha. Through a reckless attack, the power of the Guandong and Jiangdong gentry will be consumed at the same time.

As for destroying Wu... Lianghuai's farming has not been perfected yet, and Ma Su has not actually made any preparations for the time being.

However, just when Ma Su was sighing at the strong resistance of Jiangdong, Liu Yin suddenly walked in and said to Ma Su helplessly.

"Sir, our reckless attack may have angered the generals in Guandong. Seven officers have come to me to advise us to stop the offensive and find another opportunity."

"Find another opportunity? Where can I find one? Can I listen to them?" Ma Su shrugged, not caring at all.

"Let them get out of here and just accept the military orders."

But at this point, Ma Su felt that he should not make his purpose so obvious. After a pause, Ma Su changed his words and added,

"Go tell them that it is impossible to stop the offensive, and the previous troops cannot be lost in vain."

"But in order to boost morale, I will lead the troops in the next siege and personally lead the troops to attack Ruxuwu!"
