While Mi Yang was waiting for Jiang Wei at the street pavilion, Yu Fan returned to Jianye City with Lu Xun's handwritten letter.

Sun Quan heard that Yu Fan had returned as Lu Xun's envoy, so he held a grand welcome ceremony for Yu Fan.

Long before Yu Fan returned to Jianye City, the news that Hefei had been captured by the Wu army had reached Jianye.

This is not surprising, Xu Sheng was a general promoted by Sun Quan.

Therefore, even if Sun Quan did not say it explicitly, if there was any disturbance on the front line, Xu Sheng would still consciously write a report and send it to Jianye.

So what if there was trouble, let alone such a great victory as the capture of Hefei?

When he learned that Cao Xiu burned Hefei and fled, Sun Quan was a little unbelievable at first.

Even if Sun Quan knew what consequences Cao Xiu's burning of Hefei would bring to the Wu army, it is an indisputable fact that the area around Hefei City is now completely under the control of the Wu army.

In the past years when he was in power, he raised hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Hefei several times, but was repelled by the Wei army several times in disgrace.

Since then, it has become the greatest humiliation and heartache in Sun Quan's heart.

Because of his own record, Sun Quan almost thought that Hefei was an impossible city to attack.

Now, less than half a year after Lu Xun sent out troops, Hefei was captured for him. This was certainly unbelievable to Sun Quan.

But not long after, Sun Quan's disbelief turned into ecstasy.

Even cried with joy.

What kind of strategic significance Hefei has to Jiangdong has been widely discussed by Jiangdong's heroes in the past few decades.

In a nutshell: If Sun Quan wants to dominate China, Hefei must be captured first.

This kind of strategic significance is not unimportant, and it is hidden in the priority of capturing Jingzhou.

Precisely because Hefei has such great strategic significance, as the ruler Sun Quan, how could he not cry with joy when he learned that Wu Jun had captured Hefei?

Not only Sun Quan was like this, when the news spread in Jianye City, the entire Jianye City also fell into a carnival.

Winning Hefei is a great victory for Jiangdong that can greatly boost people's hearts.

The result of taking Hefei also made many ministers who originally opposed the attack on Hefei shut their mouths.

In just one day, all the Jiangdong ministers in Jianye City changed their tune - Hefei is so delicious! The Northern Expedition is so delicious!

The excitement among the people in Jianye City made Sun Quan even more satisfied.

Sun Quan felt that under this kind of carnival, it seemed that the dark clouds shaped like elk that had been hanging over Jianye in the past had been dispersed a lot.

Jiangdong needs a big victory now!

The overjoyed Sun Quan, after calming down a little, thought of sending an envoy to Hefei to reward Lu Xun.

However, Sun Quan's envoy had not yet arrived, but Lu Xun's envoy Yu Fan returned to Jianye first.

And Sun Quan, who is currently in love with Wu and Wu, will naturally not be too careless about Yu Fan's return.

After welcoming Yu Fan into the Taiwei's mansion with a grand ceremony, Sun Quan excitedly held Yu Fan's hand and said: "Rang Gu is the most noble person in the world now, Boyan!"

Xuande has Mi Yang, but Gu has Bo Yan, which is enough to rival him!"

Sun Quan was a powerful ruler, but at the same time he also had a very distinct personality.

His distinctive character is that when he encounters great joy or anger, Sun Quan will often subconsciously say something without thinking.

Just like the two sentences he said to Yu Fan at the moment.

Although Jiangdong achieved a great victory in taking over Hefei, Jiangdong is still nominally a vassal state of the Han Dynasty, and Sun Quan is the Taiwei of the Han Dynasty.

In this position, how could Sun Quan rashly say that "the world is noble" and "enemies Xuande"?

This is considered extremely disrespectful.

After hearing these two sentences, Sun Quan's close minister Shi Yi coughed a few times at the right time to remind Sun Quan.

After being reminded by Shiyi, Sun Quan realized belatedly that he had made a mistake just now.

How can you rashly say what's in your heart like this?

However, Sun Quan didn't pay too much attention. Everyone present was his confidant, so Sun Quan wasn't too worried that what he said today would spread.

Excited, Sun Quan took Yu Fan's hand and pulled him to the seat closest to him, and then he returned to the main seat and sat down.

After sitting down, Sun Quan quickly asked Shi Yi to hand the document he had just drafted into Yu Fan's hands for him to read.

This document was the reward document prepared by Sun Quan for Lu Xun.

In this document of awarding Lu Xun, Sun Quan worshiped Lu Xun as the general of the auxiliary country, granted him the title of Marquis of Liyang, and gave him a reward of 100 million yuan and 500 catties of gold.

At first glance, the status of the general of the auxiliary country is not high, and he is not a general with a heavy title.

But currently Sun Quan is nominally the Grand Lieutenant of the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty's most important generals have already been selected.

Therefore, Sun Quan could only grant Lu Xun the title of General Miscellaneous within the scope of his authority.

Among all the miscellaneous generals in Jiangdong, the status of General Fuguo can be regarded as the first.

And when the three governors of Zhou Yu, Lu Su, and Lu Meng all died, Lu Xun, who had the title of General Auxiliary, had actually become the fourth governor of Jiangdong.

Being able to become the second person in charge of the military power in Jiangdong, Sun Quan's reward to Lu Xun was not unimportant, not to mention other huge rewards in terms of titles, gold and silver.

After Yu Fan read the contents of the reward document, Sun Quan looked at Yu Fan expectantly and asked:

"Does Zhongxiang think Boyan will be satisfied with Gu's consecration?"

Sun Quan would never be stingy with his tenderness towards ministers who could make great achievements for him.

Sun Quan asked Yu Fan if there was any other meaning in this sentence. If Yu Fan thought that Lu Xun would be dissatisfied, he could directly report to Liu Bei and fight for the title of heavy general for Lu Xun.

After hearing Sun Quan's gentle inquiry, Yu Fan, who had always been disliked by Sun Quan, asked himself that he had never seen Sun Quan treat him like this.

But Yu Fan also knew that Sun Quan's gentleness was not for him.

Yu Fan stood up and bowed slightly to Sun Quan and replied: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the general is not a person who is greedy for fame. The general will know how much your Majesty loves the general."

Yu Fan's answer made Sun Quan laugh.

"Yes and that's right."

After laughing, Sun Quan came to his senses and asked Yu Fan again: "Bo Yan suddenly asked you to turn back, but what difficulties does Boyan have on the front line?

If there is someone who can tell me everything, I will make the decision for Boyan!"

Sun Quan was overjoyed, but he also knew that if Lu Xun had not encountered difficulties, he would not have suddenly sent Yu Fan back.

At that moment, Sun Quan thought that the difficulty Lu Xun encountered was because some of his clan members or generals did not obey Lu Xun's instructions.

So Sun Quan made a guarantee for Yu Fan with dignity.

After Hefei was captured by Wu Jun, Wu Jun's next consideration should of course be to pursue the victory.

Under this prospect, Sun Quan would certainly be wary of anyone influencing Lu Xun's command authority.

Facing Sun Quan's assurance, Yu Fan felt at ease.

The Supreme is still wise.

Yu Fan didn't delay. He quickly took out Lu Xun's autographed letter from his arms, and then Shiyi forwarded it to Sun Quan.

Upon seeing this, Sun Quan took the letter written by Lu Xun and read it with a cautious expression.

The content of the letter was not long, and Sun Quan read it quickly.

After reading it, Sun Quan on the one hand felt that Lu Xun's request was very important, on the other hand the joy in his heart increased a bit.

This sentence, "The Supreme Being rises up to fight and knows the military strategy well" can be said to have touched the heart of Sun Quan.

And it was like turning into a few catkins, tickling Sun Quan's heart.

But in front of Yu Fan, Sun Quan did not show any abnormality.

Sun Quan immediately turned to Yu Fan and said, "You can rest assured.

You can return to the front line immediately and inform Boyan that I will mobilize all the manpower and material resources from Jiangdong to the front line to support Boyan in continuing the Northern Expedition."

When Sun Quan said this promise, his tone was very firm.

Although Sun Quan knew that doing so would cause some turmoil within Jiangdong, Sun Quan also knew that what Lu Xun said in the letter was right.

For the bright future of the Sun family, Sun Quan does not lack the courage to stud.

After getting Sun Quan's promise, Yu Fan stood up and resigned to Sun Quan.

Lu Xun originally asked Yu Fan to stay and persuade Sun Quan to agree to his request, but it can be seen from Sun Quan's current attitude that Sun Quan knew what to do without any persuasion.

Under such circumstances, it was meaningless for Yu Fan to continue to stay in Jianye City.

And after waiting for Yu Fan to leave, Sun Quan did not intend to break his promise.

He immediately issued a series of stern orders as the Lord of Jiangdong.

These orders all urged all parties to transport the manpower and material resources Lu Xun needed to Hefei.

However, no matter how strict Sun Quan's order was, transferring a large number of manpower and material resources from various places was a time-consuming matter.

Therefore, in the next half month, the entire Jiangdong has been in a busy state.
