Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

In Lu Yan's opinion, this battle may not even be considered a small test of the sword, at best it is just bullying the children in the kindergarten.

It was already midnight, and Lu Yan stood at the bow of the boat, looking far away at the south bank of the Yangtze River where he couldn't see anything at all.

Sima Yi had already counted the results of the battle, and he came to Lu Yan to report to him: "Teacher, we have sunk more than 200 warships of the Jiangdong Army and captured 380 people in total. number."

Speaking of this, Sima Yi paused for a while and continued to read: "Our army also has six wounded, all due to accidental injuries caused by excessive tension and improper operation during combat."

After listening to the report, Lu Yan nodded to Sima Yi and said, "Very well, thank you for your hard work."

Upon hearing this, Sima Yi immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Students should do everything."

"Let's rest tonight and rest on the north bank for a night, and tomorrow morning, we will start attacking the Wuhu water village.

After destroying the Wuhu water village, we will destroy the fortifications of the Soochow navy along the way to the west, and we must attract the navy of Sun Quan and Zhou Yu to return. "

"Um... these strategic deployments, teacher, should you tell General Gan and the others?" Sima Yi was a little puzzled. Lu Yan should tell the commander of the navy Gan Ning and Su Fei about these things, and tell him a Sima who accompanied the army. What's the use.

Lu Yan turned his head, looked into Sima Yi's eyes and said, "I know that you are unwilling to be lonely, and you also have talents that match your ambition."

Lu Yan's words immediately made Sima Yi's hair stand on end, and his back was instantly soaked in cold sweat!

Sima Yi was terrified in his heart, and said anxiously, "Why...why would he know the thoughts I buried deepest in my heart?"

Lu Yan saw the flash of panic in Sima Yi's eyes, so he asked with a half-smile: "You must be very strange, why you have always been humble and never competed with others for fame and wealth, but I suddenly Did you say that?"

"Students don't dare!" Sima Yi quickly lowered his head and bowed in salute, using this to cover up his panic.

Lu Yan shook his head, helped Sima Yi up, and said again: "Actually, in my opinion, it's not a bad thing for a person to be ambitious."

"?" Sima Yi was stunned for a moment, and then the alarm bells rang in his heart: "I believe you! You old thief Lu must be trying to trick me!"

Seeing that Sima Yi didn't express anything, Lu Yan knew that he didn't believe what he said.

But Lu Yan didn't explain much, just said: "As long as your ambition is beneficial to the big man and the people of the big man... so why not be more ambitious?"

Sima Yi understood now.

What Lu Yan meant was: You can have ambitions, or you can have great ambitions... But as long as you don't endanger the country and the people of Dahan, he won't have any objection.

Sima Yi has a natural desire for power, because only with absolute power can he make full use of his abilities; only with absolute power can he bring himself enough security.

At this moment, Sima Yi suddenly had an impulse...

He really wanted to tell Lu Yan that he had ambitions!

He wants to become an invincible commander who is admired by everyone!

I also want to be like him, a ruler who can be loved by all the people in the world!

It was also at this moment that Sima Yi suddenly realized that the person he most wanted to be was actually standing in front of him like this!

In Sima Yi's eyes, Lu Yan's slender and tall figure became incomparably majestic, and there was even a sacred and gentle halo around him!

In Sima Yi's eyes looking at Lu Yan, he couldn't help showing a trace of fanaticism!

When Lu Yan turned around, Sima Yi immediately lowered his head to hide his emotions.

After helping Sima Yi up, Lu Yan turned around and faced the south bank of the Yangtze River. He didn't notice the emotion change on Sima Yi's face and eyes just now.

Sima Yi's ambition is a double-edged sword. If he uses it, he can kill the enemy and be invincible; but if he uses it incorrectly, he may also bring about his own destruction.

For Lu Yan, Sima Yi's ambition has both his own reasons and the reason of making a hero out of facts.If it weren't for the weakness of the monarchs in the late Cao Wei Dynasty, Sima Yi would not have been given a chance to seize power.

Therefore, in addition to cultivating Zhuge Liang as the greatest restraint for Sima Yi, Lu Yan also specially brought him by his side, instilling his thoughts and values ​​from time to time.

"Zhongda, you are one of my most proud students. I hope you can also inherit my will and do your part to protect the Han nation and the people of Daha."

When Sima Yi heard this, his body trembled uncontrollably, "Student, please follow the teacher's teachings, until death!"

"Huh?" Lu Yan looked back at Sima Yi with some surprise, and thought, "Why do you sound like Zhuge Liang?"

But Lu Yan didn't care too much, he replied: "We Dahan people are the kindest and most hardworking people in the world... But there are many barbarian people who are not yet fully civilized around the Dahan.

Therefore, when it's time to be tough, you can't blindly be kind, because for those people, only fists are the real truth. "

"The teacher means..."

"Some ministers in the court read themselves as fools. They thought that the wild people were as docile and kind as the common people. Some even tried to sell their country's interests for the sake of appearance..."

Sima Yi felt that Lu Yan's words were reasonable, but a little unreasonable.So he just kept silent, so as not to say anything that would cause trouble...

"Since you came out with me, I hope you can take a good look at it and learn what I did to those foreign nations."

love reading

"Um... may I ask the teacher, how do you plan to treat those foreigners?" Sima Yi asked curiously.

Lu Yan glanced at Sima Yi, and said as a matter of course: "Of course I convince people with 'reason'!"

Convincing people with reasoning, yes!

Because the truth is within the range of the cannon!

Chapter 482 Pingyu is in danger, cavalry come to help

Runan County, Pingyu County, the fighting has been very fierce.

Zhou Yu's tens of thousands of troops continued to attack the city. After more than a month, the effect has gradually begun to show.

More than two-thirds of the [-] defenders who are full of favors have already been killed. Now the defenders on the top of the city are basically the guards of the aristocratic families in the city, the local braves, and even the prisoners in the prison. out of the battlefield.

But even so, when the defense supplies were exhausted, the defense of Pingyu City became more and more difficult.

Before dawn today, Zhou Yu began to send troops to attack the city again.

But when the siege battle was in full swing, suddenly a defeated army from the direction of Zhaoling City fled back and brought news of the arrival of Zhao Yun's troops to Zhou Yu.

The appearance of the dragon cavalry army led by Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan, and the news that the three generals Ling Tong, Dong Xi, and Zhu Ran were captured caused some panic and worry among the other generals of the Jiangdong Army.

But Zhou Yu was still very calm, he said: "Everyone, the cavalry is not terrible; Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan are nothing but brave men."

Zhou Yu's calm voice calmed down the generals in the large tent of the Chinese army quickly from their panic.

At this time, Lu Meng said: "The governor is right, in fact, Lu Yan has already told us how to deal with the cavalry!"

Zhou Yu smiled slightly and said, "In order to deal with Cao Jun's cavalry, we have already prepared countless caltrops, large shields and long spears...Old General Cheng, Ziming, I will entrust you with the task of arranging fortifications!"

"The last general takes the order!" Cheng Pu and Lu Meng took the order with their hands clasped together.

Zhou Yu continued to order: "Chen Wu, Zhu Heng, Ding Feng, Zhu Yi!"

"The end is here!"

"Let you lead the army to continue to attack Pingyu County, and you must take Pingyu within today!"

......

When Zhao Yun led the Dragon Cavalry Army to the outside of Pingyu City, the Jiangdong Army had already climbed the city wall from all sides.

Li Tong, the only general in the city, has suffered more than a dozen wounds, but he is still fighting on the front line of the city wall, trying to defend Pingyu City with his last drop of blood.

Even Man Chong, the prefect of Runan, also went to the battlefield. He is now carrying a long sword that has been gapped, fighting on the front line with his personal guards.Although Man Chong studied literature, he was not a weak scholar, and he killed several enemies on the front line.

Just when Man Chong felt that he might not be able to survive today, suddenly a guard next to him shouted loudly: "Look, Fujun! They are our reinforcements!!!"

"It's the Dragon Riding Battalion! It's General Zhao Zilong coming!"

"General Zilong is here! We are saved!"

The appearance of Zhao Yun and the dragon cavalry army miraculously stabilized the precarious defense line of Pingyu City, and the morale of the soldiers and the people defending the city suddenly rose to the extreme.

The cavalry lined up [-] steps outside the Jiangdong Army's line, and at this time Xia Houlan, who had always been sharp-eyed, also noticed that the Jiangdong Army had formed a familiar formation.

"The shield soldiers are in the front, and the pikemen are in the rear... There are barbed wire and horse pits within a hundred steps in front of the army formation, and there are even three layers of repelling horses on the flanks of the army formation..." Xia Houlan tut tsk Twice, and continued: "This group of water bandits from the east of the Yangtze River, they have learned well."

After Zhao Yun heard this, he couldn't help laughing and commented: "If they encounter wolf cavalry camps, Xiao cavalry camps, tiger and leopard cavalry, or even Iron Buddha, these defenses may still play a good role..."

Xia Houlan laughed loudly when she heard the words: "Unfortunately, what they encountered was our Dragoon Army!"

Zhao Yun raised his gentian silver spear and shouted loudly: "Dragon Cavalry, let these Jiangdong people see what real riding is!"

"Dragon Cavalry, invincible!"

The slogan of the Dragoons sounded, and they took the lead in launching the attack!

"Boom!"

The sound of horseshoes was like a heavy drum, beating hard on the hearts of the Jiangdong soldiers on the front line!

"Don't panic, hold on to me, be sure to hold on!!!"

Lu Meng rode a horse to patrol the army formation, and comforted the soldiers.

"Take the bow!"

"Ride and shoot!"

This time, Zhao Yun did not order the cavalry to use the Liannu, because although the Liannu is good, it has a defect of short killing range...

However, the opponent has set up a horse pit at a distance of one hundred steps, and the lethality of the crossbow arrows will drop sharply if it exceeds eighty steps. Therefore, it is better to use a longbow than a continuous crossbow now.

As a light cavalry built around the core of the White Horse Yi Cong, the Dragon Cavalry, riding and archery is their compulsory course and one of their iconic abilities.

Before saddles and stirrups appeared, riding and shooting had very high requirements on the rider's ability.It was also because of this that the number of dragon cavalry troops could not increase for a long time. The door frame of the dragon cavalry battalion was indeed a bit too high.

It's not that Lu Yan doesn't want to take out the three treasures of the horse.

Just because saddles, stirrups and horseshoes are too easy to imitate, and the cavalry of the enemy and the grassland nation in the past is much more than that of Lao Cao, taking them out too early is tantamount to improving the strength of others and making it more difficult for yourself...so Lu Yan has been hiding them in the snow.

However, with the destruction of Yuan Shao, Wuhuan, and Xianbei, these things that can greatly enhance the strength of the cavalry should not be far away from their appearance.

The dragon cavalry charged towards the army commanded by Lu Meng!

Lu Meng was nervous but also a little excited, he thought to himself: "If I can defeat the cavalry led by Zhao Yun, then I, Lu Meng, will become famous in one fell swoop, and the world will know it!!" He even thought of stepping on Zhao Yun's success to become famous!

There are 110 steps left!

The soldiers of the Dragon Cavalry Army suddenly turned their heads and galloped away in another direction when they were only 110 steps away from the large shield formation of the Jiangdong Army!

At the moment when they turned their heads, they stretched their bows and arrows and threw the spiked arrows in their hands into the Jiangdong Army's formation!

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!!!"

"what!"

When Lu Meng saw the black arrows coming from the sky, he immediately jumped off his horse and hid under the big shield of his personal guards.

The rain of arrows bypassed the large shield formation and fell from the sky, and there were screams and wailing in Lu Meng's army formation.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"

Hearing the sound of the arrow hitting the big shield above his head, Lu Meng couldn't help gnashing his teeth and cursed: "How cunning Zhao Yun!!!"

After running in an arc, the dragon cavalry army crossed the front of Lu Meng's army.

Then, they left the direction of the city wall, preparing to launch a surprise attack on the Jiangdong soldiers who were attacking Pingyu City from another direction!

However, the Jiangdong Army is obviously ready.

Every time the dragon cavalry army came under a city wall, the Jiangdong army set up their formations. They also waited for the arrival of the dragon cavalry army with large shields, trapping horses in pits, and rejecting horses.

"The enemy's defense is very tight, what should we do?" Xia Houlan asked with a frown.

Neither Zhao Yun nor Xia Houlan was willing to risk the lives of the soldiers of the Dragon Riding Battalion.

Although they couldn't defeat the soldiers who attacked the city, at least they could prevent them from attacking the city with all their strength, which can be regarded as buying time for the Pingyu defenders.

After observing the situation, Zhao Yun said, "Contain the enemy first, and support where it is more critical."

There is no good way, Xia Houlan can only nod and said: "That's the only way, let's take a step and see."

Chapter 483 Breaking the grain road, we are good at this

Huainan County, Hefei.

Sun Quan has been besieging Hefei for more than two months, but every time he sieges the city, he hardly makes an inch except for throwing down a thousand or two thousand corpses.

However, Sun Quan is not in a hurry, because his current task is not to capture Hefei, but to keep the Hefei defenders and Shou Chunxia Hou Dun in check.

Sun Quan received news from Zhou Yu today.

Sun Quan was very unhappy about Zhou Yu's delay in taking Pingyu County, and the capture of his confidant generals Zhu Ran, Ling Tong, and Dong Xi.

But Zhou Yu was the commander he relied on the most, and Zhou Yu had a high prestige in the army, and it was not easy for Sun Quan to directly lose his temper with Zhou Yu.
