Not long ago, Zhang Zhao, an important official in Jiangdong, was dismissed from all official positions by Sun Quan on the grounds of "disrespect".

After Zhang Zhao, the veteran leader, lost all his positions due to being a lonely and important minister, Lu Xun, who came from behind and became the leader of Jiangdong ministers today.

But since the beginning of the great court meeting, Lu Xun, who was ranked first among the ministers, had not said a word.

Lu Xun, who was standing at the front, was not far away from Sun Quan, and Sun Quan could clearly see the look on his face.

Just now, Sun Quan had also been observing Lu Xun's expression.

Sun Quan had high hopes for Lu Xun, and he did not want Lu Xun to be timid before fighting like most of the other courtiers.

What comforted Sun Quan was that Lu Xun did not live up to his high expectations.

It's just that Sun Quan never saw any other strange expression on Lu Xun's face, such as the excitement of meeting an opponent in chess?

Calm, Lu Xun looked as calm as a clear water from beginning to end.

Sun Quan was puzzled by this.

Now is the time for Sun Quan to solve the doubts in his heart.

Because at this moment, everyone in the hall, because of Sun Quan's words, all looked at Lu Xun.

Lu Xun had no choice but to accept this heavy hope, nor could he continue to act indifferent.

Under the expectant eyes of everyone, Lu Xun slowly walked to the center of the hall with a fluorene board in hand.

Facing Sun Quan's expectant gaze, Lu Xun said loudly:

"I thought that Mi Yang came here for the Eastern Expedition."

Lu Xun's first words directly set the tone for Mi Yang's eastward journey.

And his words also made the hearts of everyone in the hall rise to their throats.

As the current leader of Soochow's military, Lu Xun was also the first contributor to Soochow's ability to capture Hefei. His judgment of the situation had an extraordinary impact on the courtiers.

For a moment, the nervousness in the hearts of the courtiers in the palace was infinitely amplified, as if Mi Yang's military front would touch their heads at the next moment.

However, Sun Quan's mood calmed down at this time.

Because Sun Quan noticed that Lu Xun's face remained calm when he said this.

Sun Quan knew that Lu Xun was not an arrogant person. He could still remain calm when he thought that Mi Yang came for the Eastern Campaign, which showed that he had a plan in mind.

As expected, Lu Xun then said:

"Ran Chen thought that Mi Yang would not be in a hurry to use weapons."

When Lu Xun's words spread throughout the hall, everyone in the hall, including Sun Quan, had a look of surprise on their faces.

Soon a minister came out of the train and asked:

"What does Bo Yan mean by this?

Since Boyan thinks that the bandit came with wolfish ambitions, and based on the bandit's past behavior, how can he lead 60,000 elites to live in peace, and stop fighting in Jingxiang, a territory thousands of miles away?"

The minister who came out to express his confusion was Bu Zhao.

Bu Zhi, whose courtesy name was Zishan, was a native of Linhuai, Xuzhou.

In his early years, Bu Zhi moved to Jiangdong to avoid chaos and served as Sun Quan's chief secretary, and later as the chief of Haiyan.

Since he was a close confidant of Sun Quan, Bu Zhi's promotion process was quite fast.

In addition, Bu Zhi himself was very talented and had made many contributions in suppressing Fujiaozhou and quelling rebellions in various places. Therefore, after Sun Quan proclaimed himself emperor, he made Bu Zhi the right general.

Judging from Bu Zhao's past, he is undoubtedly a man who knows military skills.

And since the 24th year of Jian'an, who among the people who know military skills in the world has not studied Mi Yang in depth?

Bu Zhi is one of the famous "Mi Yangtong" in the Soochow Dynasty.

Based on Bu Zhi's understanding of Mi Yang, Bu Zhi believed that Mi Yang had the obvious energy of a young man.

Thinking back to the 24th year of Jian'an until now, only about seven years have passed, but Mi Yang has successively fought famous battles such as the Battle of Public Security, the Battle of Xicheng, the Battle of Xiangfan, the Battle of Liangzhou, and the Battle of Guanzhong.

This shows that Mi Yang is definitely a restless person.

For such a spirited man, Lu Xun said that he would not launch an attack on Jiangdong immediately after leading his army to Jingzhou.

Bu Zhi naturally didn't believe it.

Not only did Zhao not believe it, it was obvious that many people in the court also doubted Lu Xun's views.

Facing Bu Zhi's doubts, Lu Xun bowed to Sun Quan on the throne, then turned to face the ministers and said:

"Soldiers have to make a sound first and then take action. According to common sense, now that Mi Yang is taking advantage of Wu due to the Northern Expedition, it is easy for people to be frightened, and it is at the moment when he is sweeping across the country.

However, after the Northern Expedition, the Han soldiers were tired and could not be used easily;

In addition, Jingzhou has been in ruins for a long time, and the naval army has not been able to control it. Mi Yang has 60,000 soldiers, most of whom are Liang Yijin's soldiers. The soldiers are exhausted and they are not hesitant to fight on land. How about fighting on water?"

After Lu Xun finished speaking the above words, he saw that many of the courtiers had uneasy expressions on their faces, so he continued:

"The Battle of Guanzhong was no small battle. Although Mi Yang won, he defeated the army and killed the generals, leaving the warehouses empty and the people displaced. It would be difficult to recover for several years.

On the other hand, our army has been recuperating for several years. In the battle of Hefei, it suffered very little damage and expanded its territory thousands of miles away. This is the time when the military spirit is at its peak.

Therefore, he has the potential to take advantage of victory, but I have the advantage of time and opportunity to win.

Furthermore:

He innovated the military system. Although the five soldiers were successful, the generals were replaced by new ones. The military strength was not restored, and the two victories were won.

He is good at land warfare, I am good at water navigation, and the great rivers are swaying to protect my territory, which is the three victories.

Luoyang, Huanghe, Yiyang, and Jiangling should each be defended, and their forces are divided into four. If our army is dedicated to one, we can win four.

From Kuaiji to Wujun, there are ten thousand acres of rice fields. If there are thousands of hectares of rice in Qijiangxia, after me, I can sustain it for several years and win five victories."

"Our army has achieved these five victories. With Mi Yang's talent, how could he suddenly raise an army due to a moment of vigour?"

Zong Mi Yang is like Cao Cao who was arrogant and insisted on marching eastward.

Our army has these five victories, and I have the confidence to make Mi Yang follow in the footsteps of Cao Cao!"

After Lu Xun eloquently explained his strategy, all the officials in the palace had shocked expressions on their faces.

Even Sun Quan could not conceal his surprise and stood up on the throne unconsciously.

"Although Cao Cao is known as a Han prime minister, he is actually a Han traitor...

Kuang Cao is willing to die, but he can welcome the evil...

Today is the best time for generals to exercise their power over animals!"

Somehow, after listening to Lu Xun's advice, Sun Quan's thoughts couldn't help but drift back to that afternoon more than ten years ago.

That year, Cao Cao led 200,000 elite soldiers to march south. On that day, the atmosphere in the palace was as heavy and uneasy as it is today.

He was just like Lu Xun today, with a calm face analyzing the current situation and identifying the pros and cons for Sun Quan and the ministers in the palace.

"Only 30,000 elite soldiers are invited, and I am willing to defeat it for the general!"

In the end, the man even set the tone of resistance for hundreds of Jiangdong monarchs and ministers with one heroic words.

"Gong Jin..."

Sun Quan couldn't control himself and murmured the man's name.

At the same time, Sun Quan's eyes towards Lu Xun became more and more eager.

Not only Sun Quan, but also the ministers who had participated in the meeting that decided Jiangdong's life and death, now they all looked at Lu Xun with nostalgia and surprise.

Could Lu Boyan really be comparable to Gong Jin?!

When this idea emerged in their minds, the uneasiness in the hearts of the ministers was instantly dissipated.

I don’t know how long it took, but when Sun Quan recovered from the shock and nostalgia, he asked Lu Xun in the palace:

"Bo Yan thinks what will happen if the bandits don't fight quickly after they arrive in Jingzhou?"

Regarding this, Lu Xun had already thought of the answer in his mind.

After a moment, Lu Xun raised his hands and replied:

"I believe that with Mi Yang's talent, after arriving in Jingzhou, he will adopt royal strategies and focus on accumulating national strength.

One is to boil salt and smelt it for use by the army and farmers, and to make boats, train the navy, and move along the river.

The second is to send envoys to report the interests and harms, to seduce our people's hearts and disrupt our foundation.

The third is to treat Sun Deng favorably, to show his benevolent attitude, and to comfort the people by being close to those who are far away.

With the three actions taken together, Jia Miyang led a large number of troops to station at the border. As time goes by, it is inevitable that some people in the border will become rebellious and want to defect to the other side!"

"I suggest that your Majesty should choose a close man to serve as a border general, and make all the border generals belong to one person, and then give that person the power of life and death.

In this way, no matter how urgent the matter is, it will not lead to serious disaster!"

After explaining all the countermeasures in his mind, Lu Xun bowed deeply to Sun Quan.
