    Because of the busy family affairs and marriage, Fatty Lu was not at the scene when news of the unfavorable war in Jingzhou came back to the decision-makers of Wu Jun, but it didn't take long for the news to reach Fatty Lu's ears¡ªbut not Hu Guozhu and Fang Guangchen  The biography of the two was not passed on by Liu Xuanchu, a good teacher picked by Fatty Lu, but by Wang Shirong, the only decision-maker in the Wu army who was at odds with Fatty Lu.

    Obviously, when Wang Shirong told the news to Fatty Lu, he typically had no good intentions¡ªbecause Wang Shirong came here to laugh at Fatty Lu on purpose. When the old traitor Wu decided to send Xia Guoxiang as his general to attack Jingzhou, even Fang Guangchen said that  Against it, Fatty Lu, who had been handpicked by the old traitor Wu as the chief general, didn't even dare to give a fart¡ªthis led to the defeat of Wu Jun's Jingzhou.  At the end, Wang Shirong asked Fatty Lu in a mocking tone, what pessimism does Fatty Lu, the chief culprit, have about the bleak prospects of the war in Jingzhou?

    Fatty Lu understood Wang Shirong's arrogant character very well, so Fatty Lu was not angry, but carefully read the Jingzhou battle report brought by Wang Shirong¡ªthe Jingzhou battle report that Wang Shirong wrote verbatim after reading it!  And after reading the battle report, Fatty Lu quickly took the case and said: "Second uncle and father-in-law did not lose unfairly. They were too anxious this time, and they also met their opponents. Although Xu Zhidu, the general soldier of Yiling, is not well-known,  Loud, but bold and cautious, courageous and resourceful, he is indeed a difficult dog traitor!"

    "Lord Lu is really a filial and virtuous son-in-law, and he can indeed make excuses for his elders." Wang Shirong continued to sneer: "When crossing the river, I hurried across the river without guarding against the enemy boat coming from upstream, and was attacked by the enemy, and then rushed towards the enemy  Putting gold on your face? But this is indeed a good way, putting gold on the enemy's face is indeed much better than scolding yourself for being incompetent."

    "Mr. Liangchen misunderstood. The student is definitely not putting money on the enemy's face, let alone giving money to his father-in-law." Fatty Lu was not angry at Wang Shirong's sarcasm, but just shook his head, disapproving.

    "Then tell me the reason." Wang Shirong finally showed some eagerness.

    "Mr. Liangchen, please pay attention to the time." Fatty Lu pointed to the battle report and said: "Mr. Liangchen, please see that the second uncle and the others launched three sieges in five days, and on the fifth day, that is, yesterday morning, they were attacked by the traitor Xu Zhidu.  However, the Second Uncle and the others have only spent ten days since they set off¡ªthat is to say, the Second Uncle and the others have traveled more than 400 miles from Yuezhou to Jingzhou in just over four days.  ! Such a high-intensity rapid march, and then launched such a high-intensity siege, what does this mean?"

    Wang Shirong was silent, and only after a while did he say, "General Xia Guoxiang is too anxious, and he is eager to make meritorious service, so Mangou took advantage of the loophole."

    "That's right!" Fatty Lu clapped the battle report, and said categorically: "Second uncle is not the only sign of anxiety. Before our Songzi army had time to cross the Yangtze River, he couldn't wait to launch three sieges, full of dogs.  No matter how stupid you are, you can understand that the second uncle is eager to break the city. The traitor Xu Zhidu also seized on the anxiety of the second uncle, pretending to retreat timidly, and inducing the second uncle to rush the Songzi army to cross the river for reinforcements. As a result, the second uncle was killed  Let Xu Zhi take advantage of this loophole.¡±

    Wang Shirong was silent again, and Fatty Lu added: "And what I can be sure of is that this Xu Zhidu is definitely a courageous and courageous traitor, because after he withdrew from Yidu to Yiling, he could indeed be in Yiling with smooth sailing.  I rushed to the Jingzhou battlefield overnight, but if the news of the Jingzhou battlefield is to be sent back to Yiling, it is difficult for even a carrier pigeon to arrive overnight, let alone Xu Zhidu¡¯s marching time and preparation time. So I can  Certainly, when Xu Zhidu withdrew to Yiling on the seventh day of the lunar new year, he must have expected that our army's Songzi army would cross the river in the early morning of the eighth day of the new year, so he set off on the evening of the seventh day of the seventh day and arrived in Jingzhou in the early morning of the eighth day of the new year, killing our army by surprise  !"

    "So, this Xu Zhidu's military style is very similar to yours." Wang Shirong said in a deep voice, "Both of them like to take the edge of the sword and are good at capturing the enemy's psychological weaknesses. When they see the opportunity, they all bet on it. If they win, they will win big."  Yes, if you lose"

    "If you lose, Xu Zhi will not lose at all." Fatty Lu spread his hands and said, "Unless the second uncle or my father-in-law sees through his tricks and arranges an ambush in advance to wait for work, otherwise, even if our army does not cross the river on the morning of the eighth day, Xu  To rule the capital to the top is to expose the plan, and not a single soldier will be lost."

    Wang Shirong stopped talking again, and after a while, Wang Shirong suddenly exclaimed again, "No! The enemy is so cunning and tough, General Xia is so eager to advance, and the prince is now ordering General Xia to take revenge as soon as possible to save face.  General Xia is afraid that he will suffer a lot!"

    "Grandpa, did he ask the second uncle to take revenge as soon as possible?" Fatty Lu was also taken aback. When Wang Shirong quickly introduced the old traitor Wu's order to Xia Guoxiang, Fatty Lu immediately cried out, got up and said.One soldier at a time, break through the strong city of Jingzhou!  "

    "Stinky boy, what are you bragging about?" The future son-in-law doesn't need to kowtow when meeting him, but he dares to brag about it in front of himself who just suffered a defeat in the city of Jingzhou.  Talk big to Lao Tzu! You think you are a god if you broke Jingzhou City without a single soldier?"

    "Guogui, don't be angry, your son-in-law is not bragging." Old Han Wu said calmly.

    "Father, how do you know?" Wu Guogui was taken aback, Fatty Lu also raised his fat head in surprise, and looked carefully at Old Traitor Wu.

    The old man Wu smiled treacherously, and asked, "Yifeng, you want me to dig up the embankment of thousands of people and flood Jingzhou City, right?"

    "Grandfather, how did you know?" Fatty Lu was even more shocked.

    "I don't know your temper yet? You only seek the end when you do things, and don't use any means." The old man Wu said calmly: "Since you left us to go to the Wandi to patrol alone, the old man has already guessed, you  It must have been discovered that Jingzhou City is low-lying and the Ten Thousand Dykes are high, as long as the Ten Thousand Dykes are dug up and the Yangtze River water is used to irrigate Jingzhou City, no matter how many dogs there are in Jingzhou City, it will be full of fish and turtles."

    "Ah!" Wu Guogui and Xia Guoxiang exclaimed in unison, looked at each other again, and exclaimed in unison again: "Why didn't we think of this trick?"

    "What a great idea!" Ma Bao, who was next to him, also shook his fist and roared, "Dig the embankment of thousands of people, and without a single soldier, you can kill the dogs in the city!"

    "Then what about the people in Jingzhou City? What about the people in Jingzhou Mansion?" The old man Wu was treacherous, and asked Lu Fatty and other generals of the Wu army: "In order to break through a city, we dug up the people and gathered tens of thousands of people.  What about the hundreds of thousands of people in Jingzhou Prefecture? What about the millions of people in the downstream? Don¡¯t forget, this is a grain-producing area.  After leaving the fertile land, what do the people around them eat?"

    All the generals of the Wu army were speechless, while Fatty Lu looked up and down the old traitor Wu as if he didn't know him, almost suspecting that there was something wrong with his ears.  But the old traitor Wu shouted again in a deep voice: "Propagate the decree of the orphan, for the sake of thousands of lives, no one is allowed to touch a single brick or stone of the Thousand Thousand Dykes! Jingzhou City, I must be defeated in an upright manner!"

    Note: During the Jingzhou War during the San Francisco Rebellion, the old traitor Wu still cared for the people with hypocrisy and righteousness, and refused to dig the embankment, even though the battle was fierce and the casualties were heavy. It is by no means a fiction.  It really happened in history, and it is contained in pages 179-180 and 204 of the fourth volume of "Guangyang Miscellaneous Notes".  In this regard, the historical materials of the Qing Dynasty commented: The old age is already deep!  Later generations Baoyi Teng commented: Strategically conservative!  (To be continued.
