拐了这么一个大弯，总算是说到了正点上，鲁肃终于知道，陈震此来的根本目的，乃是为了江陵被曹仁进攻之事。
鲁肃这个西线的都督，主要责任之一就是警戒襄阳的曹仁所部动向，而今曹仁两万多大军倾巢而出趁机南攻江陵，鲁肃又岂有不知之理。
“刘将军谋划周密，把堂堂美髯公都打得溃不成军，几乎已是无敌，我又能帮得上什么忙呢。”鲁肃话中的讽意依然不旧。
陈震干笑了几声，“鲁都督真是过奖了，我家将军虽然智勇双全，但比起都督来，还相差甚远。都督也知道，如今曹仁趁着我军和关羽周旋之际，突然兴兵围攻江陵，我家将军一时半刻抽不出身来，所以才想请鲁都督出手相助。”
果然不出所料。
“这个嘛……你也知道，眼下我东吴之兵，都在东南和曹艹对峙，根本抽不出多余的兵力来，刘将军的这个帮，只怕我很难帮到呢。”
鲁肃这明显是想推拒，谁都知道孙权对荆州的二刘一直不放心，尽管现在以弱势兵力跟曹艹在东南交战，但荆州一线，却仍然留有两万左右的兵马由鲁肃统帅。
“曹艹留给曹仁驻守襄阳的军队，也不过两到三万左右，鲁都督若能出手，虽说兵力上尚处弱势，但凭借水军优势，逼退曹仁当不成问题。”陈震进一步道。
鲁肃面露几分为难，“其实我也很想帮刘将军，只是这般用兵大事，我还要派人去扬州向吴侯请示，这一来一回之间所需时间甚多，只怕来不及帮到刘将军什么。”
鲁肃依旧在借口推脱。
陈震却一点不着急，叹道：“如此看来，江陵是必要落入曹贼之手了。到时候我家将军只有退保江南四郡，四郡地处偏僻，想来曹艹也没兴趣兴兵急夺，多半又会如当年一样，由江陵举兵东下进攻东吴，有了上一次的教训，曹艹必然会倍加小心，只是不知这一次，鲁都督是否还能再演周公瑾当年赤壁的辉煌呢？”
这一番话，如同一瓢冷水，当头泼在了鲁肃的身上，让他全身上下狠狠的打了一个冷战，心头更是涌起一股恶寒。
鲁肃先前因刘封之举而感到愤慨，故是思路一时被怨气所蒙蔽，此时被陈震委婉的这么一提醒，顿时恍然惊醒。
当年赤壁之战后，周瑜舍生忘死，费尽九牛二虎之力，差点还陪上一条姓命才拿下江陵，为的是什么，不就是拱卫东吴的上游吗？
而今，若是让曹仁再得江陵，重演当年之事，难道东吴又要再打一次赤壁之战吗？
也许周瑜有打赢的信心，但鲁肃却没有。
几番权衡之下，鲁肃不得不做出不情愿的抉择。
陈震见鲁肃已然动摇，忙进一步道：“其实吴侯将荆州大权尽数托付于都督之手，都督自有便宜行事之权。何况都督想逼退曹仁大军，根本无需费多手段，只消派一支水军，由夏口北上，佯作趁虚攻打襄阳之势，曹仁畏惧之下自然就会不战而退。”
陈震这计策，正是庞统为鲁肃想好的退敌之计，庞统很清楚，鲁肃即使出兵相助，也决计不会冒牺牲东吴士卒钱粮风险去和曹仁正面交锋，而这围魏救赵之计，却足以逼退兵马数量并不足以攻守兼备的曹仁。
此时鲁肃的心思，已然由原先坐视不管彻底的逆转，但在陈震面前又不好转变的太快，只得思虑重重道：“这件事事关重大，还容我谨慎思考一下吧。”
听到鲁肃这番话，陈震悬而未定的一颗心，悄然落定。
