The empty lobby was filled with famous ministers and generals from Jiangdong.

Looking at the faces of old and young people, Sun Quan couldn't help but feel proud.

Most of the dozens of important ministers in the hall are either Jiangdong ministers who survived the era of his father and brother, or young talents he has promoted in the past ten years.

Sun Quan, who was well versed in employing people, certainly knew that Jiangdong's most valuable asset was the large group of important officials sitting below him.

They are the greatest confidence in their struggle for world domination.

After lying dormant for several years, today is the time for the Jiangdong Sun family to once again show off its power in the world!

Thinking of this, Sun Quan's expression darkened, and he looked down at a general sitting in the front row.

This general is surprisingly Lu Xun, who has been continuously promoted by Sun Quan in recent years.

I remember that during the Public Security War, Lu Xun was just a partial general and right-wing governor of Jiangdong.

But today, after several years of continuous promotion, Lu Xun is now the right guard of Jiangdong, the general of Zhenbei, and was promoted to the title of Louhou.

It stands to reason that even though Lu Xun was a rare general in the world, there have been very few wars in Jiangdong in recent years. No matter how good Lu Xun was at fighting, he should not have been promoted so quickly.

But I can't help but think that Lu Xun has a good life.

When Sun Quan was defeated miserably in the first battle with the Public Security Bureau and several people fled outside the Public Security City, Lu Xun was the only one beside him to protect him and help him cross the river.

Without Lu Xun, Sun Quan might have died at the hands of Mi Yang.

This is not only the speculation in the minds of Jiangdong's ministers, but also the thoughts in Sun Quan's own mind.

Therefore, after that battle, Sun Quan treated Lu Xun, who had saved his life, very differently.

Sun Quan has a very distinct personality, somewhat similar to Cao Pi.

Sun Quan would scold people he disliked and would even go to great lengths to humiliate them.

But for those he loved, Sun Quan would continue to show favor to him, as if he treated him as a treasure.

What's more, Sun Quan already knew that Lu Xun was as talented as Zhou Yu back then.

Seeing Sun Quan looking at him, Lu Xun, who had been notified in advance, stood up from his seat and went to the middle of the hall to bow to Sun Quan:

"Supreme!"

After hearing Lu Xun's respectful greeting, Sun Quan had a smile on his face.

Boyan, the more I watch it, the more I like it.

When he looked at Zhou Yu before, Lu Meng also looked at him like this.

But I like it anyway, but Sun Quan did not waste time.

He took out a tiger talisman with a cold light from the wooden plate held by the waiter on the side.

Then he motioned Lu Xun to come forward with his eyes.

After seeing Sun Quan's actions, even though he had expected it, this scene still made Lu Xun extremely excited.

Since Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, the military power in Jiangdong has been tightly controlled by him.

Over the years, the only generals who have been valued by Sun Quan and led the main force of Jiangdong to fight alone are Zhou Yu and Lu Meng.

Now that he is about to become the third person, how can he not make Lu Xun excited?

No general with a strategic mind would dislike the taste of military power, even Lu Xun, who had always had a calm personality.

The excitement in Lu Xun's eyes could not be hidden from Sun Quan.

After seeing the excitement in Lu Xun's eyes, Sun Quan felt satisfied but also sighed.

He was satisfied with Lu Xun's high fighting spirit, but lamented that he could not conquer it himself this time.

The reason why Sun Quan did not personally conquer Hefei was not because he really trusted Lu Xun to the point of no return. The main reason was that most of the important officials in Jiangdong did not approve of him personally conquering Hefei again.

Everyone understands the reason.

After the First World War, Sun Quan's reputation was greatly damaged. Therefore, in the face of the dissuasion of most of his important ministers, Sun Quan had to think carefully even though he was reluctant to give up military power.

But what really made Sun Quan determined was that he was bound to win this battle.

In fact, with Sun Quan's ability to recognize people, he certainly knew that his military strategy could not be compared with that of his father and brother, but in order to better control Jiangdong, Sun Quan could only continue to conquer personally.

Even if I win one game, I just want to win one game.

It is a pity that, except for the victory in the battle against Lujiang, Sun Quan had almost no major military exploits in the past decades.

He even lost miserably several times.

On the contrary, this made Sun Quan develop an obsession. The more he lost, the more he had to prove himself with a big victory.

But the current situation is different from the past.

Sun Quan knew that his prestige had been damaged after the First World War. At this time, the Northern Expedition to Hefei could not go wrong.

So Sun Quan naturally thought of letting Lu Xun replace him as the coach of the Northern Expedition.

This is what Sun Quan did in history.

As soon as the wind blows smoothly, he wants to conquer it himself.

When the wind is against him or he is unsure, Sun Quan will be extremely keen to find talents that can turn the tide.

Even though Lu Xun had no great military exploits at the moment, even though his qualifications were not convincing to everyone, and many Jiangdong ministers had objections to Lu Xun's command of the army, Sun Quan still chose his own vision in the end.

Sun Quan never missed the point when to choose which general. This was something that even the two British masters Liu Bei and Cao Cao could not do.

And this is the biggest reason why Sun Quan is ranked among the three greatest heroes in the world.

Well, as for Lu Meng, who was sent by the Public Security Bureau to meet Mi Yang in the first battle, it was purely an accident.

This was the only mistake he made in his life.

After making up his mind, Sun Quan personally handed the tiger talisman to Lu Xun. At the same time, Sun Quan said in a deep voice:

"I rebelled against Wei, and now I have raised 70,000 troops to conquer Huainan in the name of the Emperor of Han Dynasty.

The teacher of a true king should be able to defeat the people and attack their sins, and should be invincible.

Now I worship you as the general who conquers the north and conquers Huainan on my behalf. I hope you will not disappoint me and the people of the world!"

Sun Quan's words were calm and firm. When his words fell into Lu Xun's ears, Lu Xun's face became even more joyful.

What made Lu Xun happy was not that he had been promoted, but that Sun Quan had mentioned the word "personal expedition" in his words.

These two words represent that in this battle, he will have the same power as Sun Quan.

Lu Xun knelt down on one knee and respectfully took the cold tiger talisman from Sun Quan's hand. Then he kowtowed and said:

"I will live up to my Majesty!"

Lu Xun's promise brought joy to Sun Quan's face.

Sun Quan took off his sword Qingming Sword and handed it to Lu Xun. Then he said to Lu Xun and the Jiangdong ministers present:

"Now you go into battle with the Gu Qingming sword. If anyone dares to violate your moral code during the battle, from the clan members to the elders, you can kill them all with the Gu Qingming sword."

When Sun Quan's words fell into the ears of the Jiangdong ministers in the hall, their faces all straightened up.

The Qingming Sword is the sword that Sun Quan has never left his body for many years. With the support of Sun Quan's authority, the Qingming Sword has already become a symbol of the Lord of Jiangdong.

What's more, Sun Quan not only handed the Qingming Sword into Lu Xun's hands, but also specifically said this in front of all the ministers.

With the blessing of the two factors, the Jiangdong ministers gradually put away their contempt for Lu Xun, especially those generals who were going to accompany the army this time.

But as time goes on, we don’t know how long this status quo will remain.

After all, Lu Xun looks gentle and weak, and seems to be easy to bully.

After using his authority to gild Lu Xun, Sun Quan finally said to Lu Xun with peace of mind:

"Go ahead.

The opportunity to become famous in the world is waiting for you."

Sun Quan's words were like magic, raising Lu Xun's fighting spirit to the highest level.

At this moment, the young figure outside Xiakou City appeared in his mind.

To this day, Lu Xun still believes that if Sun Quan had used his strategy, Mi Yang would not have won the battle of Public Security in the end.

But the past will eventually become a fact. Lu Xun only has one thought in his mind now, and that is to continuously improve himself.

In this way, when I face him one day in the future, I will have full confidence in my heart.

Thinking of this, Lu Xun stood up with a determined look on his face, and then walked out with his head held high.

As Lu Xun left, the generals in the hall also formed two columns and followed Lu Xun towards the hall, heading towards the distant Huainan.

Seeing the departing figures of Lu Xun and other generals, Sun Quan thought to himself:

From now on, the general trend of the world, whether it can be a true tripartite confrontation, all depends on this battle!
