Chapter 514 Seeking Death Again
"Outwit? How to outwit?" Sun Quan looked at Lu Dai calmly and asked.
Lu Dai can also be regarded as a veteran of Soochow. He has outstanding achievements and can be regarded as a veteran of Soochow. Therefore, Sun Quan listened patiently to his opinions and hoped to get some suggestions.
In response, Lu Dai said with an unchanging expression,
"Supreme! Although the Shu army currently has few troops, it is full of vigor. If we rush across the river to attack, we may suffer heavy losses."
"But judging from the intelligence sent back by Xiaoshi before, the Shu army lacked not only troops, but also extremely short of food and supplies. When the Lu Governor attacked Yidao, Yizhou could only send out thousands of reinforcements, which is enough to prove this. It’s true.”
"At present, the Shu army dares to enter Jingnan rashly and persists in retreating, all because they captured the public security. Relying on Jingnan's money and food, they can barely maintain their armaments."
"But this also means that all the food and fodder for the Shu army must be allocated from the public security, not from the rear food road."
"Now the Shu army has formed more than a dozen camps and defended them for more than ten miles in a row. The gaps are not small. Our army can board a small group of naval forces on the west bank and harass its food routes so that the southern camps cannot obtain public security. grain."
"In less than a month, the Shu army will have to shrink its forces and return to the public security. At that time, the Supreme Leader will lead the army to cross the Xiangjiang River in many places, so that the end cannot be taken into account. Recovering Jingnan will be like trying to retrieve something from a bag!"
Lu Dai's suggestion was relatively pertinent. He sent troops to harass and confront him. The two sides are competing on the territory of Soochow, and the Han army has few soldiers. As long as the confrontation continues slowly, the advantage will always be with them.
However, Sun Quan was not satisfied with this, not because he was impatient, but because he was worried about what the Shu army would do if there were reinforcements later.
Don't forget, there are indeed not many Shu troops so far, but this is because they have just fought out of Yizhou. But now that the police have been lost, they have no shortage of food and grass. What if Ma Su transfers troops from Jingbei again?
According to previous reports from Jingzhou, it often takes more than twice the number of troops to defeat the Shu army. If Ma Di transferred tens of thousands of people from northern Jing to southern Jing, Sun Quan would probably not be able to get back the lost territory.
So after pondering for a while, Sun Quan finally rejected Lu Dai's suggestion.
"This plan is good, but it is too slow. If the time is prolonged, I'm afraid the nights will be long and we will have many dreams." Sun Quan shook his head and said.
Lu Dai had no choice but to retreat honestly. But at this time, Luo Tong also stood up and supported Lu Daidao.
"Your Majesty, the troops of Western Shu are in great power and there is no need to rush. This is the best way at the moment. If we act too hastily, we may risk defeat!"
Sun Quan was silent for a long time and still refused to accept it.
"Bo Yan, do you have any suggestions?"
"Your Majesty, Governor Lu suggests that you move to Xiakou to supervise the battle. As for Ma Su and the Shu army, he can calm them down for you soon."
"That's a nice thing to say, so why is Ma Su in the police now?" Sun Quan snorted coldly, waved his hand and said,
"If I hadn't arrived in time, I might have seen the Shu army in Xiakou by then... Go back and tell Boyan to take strict precautions against the Shu army in Nanyang and defend Jingxiang North Road. He must never let the Shu army alone. One soldier arrived at the edge of the Yangtze River."
"only!"
"As for Ma Su..." Sun Quan touched his chin and hesitated, worried that the situation in Xiaoyaojin would happen again.
But when he thought that this was Jingzhou, with the Xiangjiang River in front of him, and the confidence given by the Soochow Navy, Sun Quan finally gave the order.
"The soldiers of each department rested for more than ten days, and then prepared to forcefully cross the Xiangjiang River! We must drive Ma Di out of Jingzhou before the reinforcements of the Shu army arrive!"
…………

Sun Quan's concerns are indeed justified. At this time, the news that Ma Di had recaptured the public security had spread back to Guanzhong, and the court immediately approved Ma Di's petition for war.
In the Nanyang War Zone, Li Hui and Wang Ping also prepared their troops, sent troops southward into Nanjun, and began to attack Soochow counties in northern Jingzhou.
If it takes too long and waits for the support of the Han army to arrive, it will be impossible for him to get Jingzhou back.
But, if you want to be anxious, you have to be strong enough. Even with the support of the navy, can your Soochow strength really compete with the Han army?
When Sun Quan made the decision to send out the main force to forcefully cross the Xiangjiang River and cross the river to attack Ma Su, the Han army's military tents were also discussing strategies to defeat the enemy.
"The general's surprise attack in this battle recreates the scene of Zhang Liao's pursuit of Sun Quan in the past. I'm afraid that when Yangzhou hears the name of the general in the future, the children will not dare to cry." Xiang Chong laughed and teased Ma Su. The victory in the first battle made the Han army very happy. .
"I'll just say that Sun Quan can't do it. General Xiang is still worried." Chen Ying said with the same smile.
"With the general here, Sun Quan will have another title, Sun Gong'an!"
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and get down to business." Ma Di shook his head helplessly, then interrupted everyone's laughter at Sun Quan and started talking about business.
"Although Sun Quan has lost face this time, the loss should not be huge. At present, Soochow's military strength is still superior, and it is not easy to defeat the enemy."
"Do you have any good strategies? Speak out boldly. Don't worry about taking risks. The riskier the strategy, the greater the benefits!"
When Ma Su said this, Xiang Chong and the others all fell silent.
If Zhuge Liang asked about this, everyone would probably speak enthusiastically. After all, the Prime Minister's tactics are very stable, and risky strategies are generally not adopted.
But Ma Su was different. Everyone knew that the cavalry general liked to take risks the most. What if you give him a risky plan and it is adopted?
When the time comes and something happens to the general, who will bear the responsibility?
"Hey, hey, you guys, you brag and make each one more cruel than the other, but in the end, you are all mute!" Seeing that no one was fooled, Ma Su couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied.
You guys have no vision at all, and you don't know how to share your leaders' worries. In the end, I had to use my own brain to figure out how to commit suicide.
There is no one in the group who can do anything, so Ma Di can only think of how to commit suicide. After studying the map repeatedly, Ma Di's eyes suddenly lit up.
Because he discovered that in addition to the main force brought by Sun Quan in Soochow, there was also a Soochow army stationed in Guiyang and Cangwu in the south. The commander-in-chief of this Soochow tribe is still an old acquaintance, Wu general Wei Wen.
Wei Wen also had a lot of troops, more than 10,000 people, and they were far away from the mouth of Youjiang River. If we can quickly go south and defeat Wei Wen, we can involve a lot of power in Soochow.
This move was very risky. After all, normally as long as Sun Quan kept guard, Ma Su could easily cross the river and be supervised by the Soochow navy on the east bank. When the time comes, 70,000 to 80,000 Wu troops will surround and intercept them, and there will probably be great risks.
Therefore, Ma Su thinks this strategy is very suitable!
