Although Lu Xun knew that something would make Sun Quan dislike when he said it, it was related to the entire situation of the war and he had to say it.

"Weichen came this time to fight the Jiaozhou army. Weichen hopes to fight the Jiaozhou army as soon as possible. If we drag it down, on the one hand, there will be insufficient food and grass, and on the other hand, morale will become increasingly sluggish. Zhuge Liang has always been cunning.

, If he sees the clues, it may be unfavorable to the overall situation."

Sun Quan sighed, "I want to fight as soon as possible! An unimaginable thing happened in Jiangdong, and I am ten times more worried than Boyan."

"What happened in Jiangdong...?" Lu Xun asked carefully.

Sun Quan took out a piece of information, and the name on it made him extremely disgusted. He handed it to Lu Xun, "You can take a look!"

Lu Xun took the information and looked at it. He was shocked. Someone found that Sun Ben appeared in Kuaiji County. He was extremely surprised. Didn’t Sun Ben be killed by pirates? Why did it appear again? Sun Quan sneered and said, “Sun Ben is inexplicable.

I disappeared. The so-called killing of pirates was just because I ordered people to make up rumors. It should be his supporters who secretly rescued him. I endured it for so many years and took advantage of my opportunity to send troops to Yuzhang and Jingnan to plot against him. Humph!

It's pretty good to think about it."

Lu Xun was in a mess. He was very worried that his family would be involved. Before going to war, the patriarch talked to him and said that the Lu family was very disappointed with Sun Quan. If Sun Ben took the opportunity to win over his family, would the Lu family be?

Will you change your position?

Sun Quan glanced at Lu Xun with a sharp look. Seeing that Lu Xun was restless, he asked, "What are Bo Yan thinking?"

"Weichen is thinking, who will support him?"

"Hmph!" Sun Quan snorted coldly, "Do you still need to ask? He appeared in Kuaiji County, who did you say is supporting him."

Lu Xun immediately understood that Sun Quan was referring to He Qi. He sighed in his heart, who was this blame? He Qi appeared on Sun Ben's list. Wu Hou did not eliminate him in time, but instead raised a tiger to cause trouble. This was him Sun Quan

My own problem!

Although thinking this way, Lu Xun did not dare to show any of his expression on his face. He lowered his head and said without saying a word. Sun Quan held his hands and walked back and forth in the big tent, and said angrily: "For so many years, people in Shanyue have been suppressing each other, and it is clearly this He Qi

When I was working on the article, if I hadn't been afraid of forcing him to force him into rebelling, I would have destroyed him long ago. Now he is ungrateful, but he has become more and more powerful and wants to support rebellion. I can't tolerate him anymore, not only him, but originally supported him.

None of the traitors can be let go."

When Lu Xun knew that Sun Quan was referring to Han Dang, Zhu Ran, and Cheng Pu, he couldn't help but persuade: "The army of Wu Hou is outside, so you can't act rashly for the time being, so as not to alarm the snake. You can monitor it secretly first."

Sun Quan nodded, "Of course I know that it's too late for them, which is not good for me. But what should I do in this battle? Do Bo Yan have any suggestions?"

Lu Xun pondered for a moment and asked, "Can Wu Hou give up Yuzhang County and Poyang County for the time being?"

"cannot!"

Sun Quan answered decisively, paused for a moment, and added: "If you give up Yuzhang County and Poyang County, the people in Jiangdong will be resentful and the soldiers will be discontinued. My foundation will be unstable, and those traitors will definitely use the excuse to raise troops."

"Since that's the case, please ask the Marquis of Wu to order us to concentrate our troops to attack Xinwu County and defeat the Jiaozhou army with our superior forces."

Sun Quan took a few steps behind his hands and finally made up his mind. He turned around and ordered: "Okay, I will give you another 10,000 direct troops. You have the full authority to command these 60,000 troops. You must defeat the Jiaozhou army within ten days.

”

This order was long-awaited by Lu Xun, but it also put heavy pressure on him. They had already been half a month later than the original plan to advance, and their morale was low and their morale was low. The Jiaozhou Army was very morale because of the battle in Yuxian County.

, one high and one low, there was a huge gap in morale and combat power between the two sides. Even if Jiangdong has twice the enemy's strength, they may not be able to win the championship. However, Lu Xun had no way out. He immediately bowed and said:

"I obey the order!"

....

Time has gradually entered August. Although autumn has begun, the heat has not dissipated. The Yangtze River is still as hot as a steamer, which is unbearable. At this time, a Han army of more than 10,000 people has quietly arrived in Chaisang, the commander of the army.

Of course, it was Liu Jing, who also received information from Jiangdong. Sun Ben was extremely active in Jiangdong. He contacted officials and won over the generals. He no longer concealed his identity and began to openly engage in activities.

Of course, Liu Jing did not give him the order to open the activities. This was Sun Ben's unauthorized act, but Liu Jing was sensitively aware that there might be Cao Cao's figure here, which is easy to understand. Sun Ben and Cao Cao

He is the in-laws, and his daughter is Cao Zhang's wife. At this critical moment, how could Sun Ben not contact Cao Cao? More importantly, Sun Ben expressed his unwillingness to be his puppet from the beginning.

However, for Liu Jing, it doesn’t matter what Sun Ben has or what he wants to do. Liu Jing cares about Jiangdong. It is his purpose to completely weaken and split Jiangdong. It is estimated that Cao Cao also has the same idea, as long as Sun

Ben will achieve this goal for him, and then Sun Ben's utilization value will be completed.

Of course, if Cao Cao's purpose was to annex Jiangdong, that would be another matter. If he was just to split Jiangdong, Liu Jing would also like to see it.

On the wall of Chaisang City, Liu Jing looked at the surging river with his hands behind his back, which made him think of a scene ten years ago. At that time, he was the general of Chaisang Town and began to rise in Chaisang. The river water back then was the same as today, and the river water was still there.

But the world is no longer the same, which makes Liu Jing feel infinitely.

At this time, the aide Liao Li hurried over and bent behind Liu Jing and said, "Report to Your Highness, there is news about Military Advisor Pang."

Liao Li was the prefect of Changsha County. Because Jingzhou gave Changsha County to Jiangdong, Liao Li left Changsha and temporarily served as Liu Jing's chief of staff, which was the original position of Yin Jing, who was fully responsible for the compilation of documents. Liao Li was also quite good.

With his strategy and his cautiousness, Liu Jing was deeply trusted by Liu Jing. Liu Jing told him several times that he would not have to go back to Changsha County in the future, but that he wanted to keep him by his side.

Liu Jing turned around and asked with a smile: "Where is Military Advisor Pang now?"

"Military Pang brought more than 10,000 prisoners of war on the way to Yangxin County north. The spy he sent said that the journey was difficult and it would take five days to arrive in Yangxin County. However, the prisoners of war were in a stable mood and there was no large-scale escape."

Liu Jing knew that there were roads to go north from Xinwu County to Jiangxia, but it was very difficult to cross a few mountains, so it was difficult for Pang Tong. Liu Jing nodded and asked again: "Is there news in Nanchang?"

"Report to Your Highness, Lu Xun has led an army of 50,000 to fight westward and is currently on his way to Xinwu County. No new news?"

"Where is Sun Quan now? Is he still in Pengze?" Liu Jing asked again.

"I heard that Sun Quan's five thousand stones also appeared in Nanchang on a boat, but I don't know whether Sun Quan himself has gone there yet."

"When he goes by boat, people will go naturally."

Liu Jing walked a few steps on the city with his hands behind his back, turned around and asked Liao Li meaningfully, "Why did Gong Yuan think Sun Quan appear in Nanchang?"

Liao Li understood what Liu Jing meant, and he thought for a while and said, "I thought that Sun Quan handed over 10,000 direct troops to Lu Xun on the surface, but he actually did not trust Lu Xun, so he went to Nanchang to supervise the battle himself, but...

.Weichen was a little puzzled. Lu Xun was Sun Ce's son-in-law. Sun Quan should believe him. During the Battle of Hefei, he could see Sun Quan's trust in Lu Xun. How could this time...?"

"I'll tell Gong Yuan the reason!"

Liu Jing smiled faintly and said, "Now the people in Jiangdong are in a state of resentment. More than half of the public opinion hope that Sun Quan will step down. There are currently two kinds of anti-Sun Quan remarks. One is that the officialdom of Kuaiji County proposed that Sun Ben replace Sun Quan be replaced, and the other remarks are:

Sun Ce's eldest son Sun Shao inherited his father's business and replaced Sun Quan. This concept is very popular in Wujun. Although it is because Wujun is the ancestral home of the Sun family, I heard that several Wujun clans also stood on the side of supporting Sun Shao, among which

Including the Lu family, Lu Xun is exactly Sun Ce's son-in-law. So, can Sun Quan not have any doubts?"

Liao Li suddenly realized that Sun Quan was afraid that Lu Xun would support Sun Shao. He nodded, "I understand, no wonder Sun Quan rushed to Nanchang. He must have heard some rumors."

"It's not a rumor, it's a secret report!"

Liu Jing said with certainty: "After Sun Quan overthrew his brother Sun Lang and his clan brother Sun Ben, he has been secretly monitoring the Sun family. Sun Quan must have received a secret report from the surveillance."

"What Your Highness means is, do we want to take advantage of this situation?"

Liu Jing nodded slowly and smiled: "I think I can help Zhuge Liang with one arm."

....

Nanchang County is about 180 miles away from Xinwu County. The road is difficult and the march is not easy. It takes at least three days to reach Xinwu County. Lu Xun left 10,000 troops to guard Nanchang County. He personally led a 50,000 army all the way west. Lu Xun was very cautious.

, instead of keeping the baggage away from the main force, he walked in the middle of the team. He knew the importance of logistics. If he lost food and grass, they would undoubtedly lose.

It is precisely because of this that the Jiangdong army was not fast and moved slowly. Not only that, Lu Xun also sent a hundred scouts to investigate in front and around to prevent them from being ambushed by Zhuge Liang. Three days later, they were still far from Xinwu County.

Thirty miles away, Lu Xun ordered the team to stop and rest.

At this time, Ding Feng urged him to come forward and whisper: "Governor, there are many hills and ravines in this area, which are very easy to ambush. We must be careful."

"I know that we have 50,000 troops. If the enemy wants to ambush us, it will take at least 10,000 troops. It is easy to find that if you are a little cautious, the ambush of the Jiaozhou army will not succeed. However, I have an ominous kind of

I have a premonition that Zhuge Liang is probably not going to fight us in the wild."

"What does the governor mean?"

"It's very simple. Why did Zhuge Liang not defend the taller and more solid Nanchang City, but he had to retreat to the remote and difficult Xinwu County. It is obvious that Xinwu County is conducive to defense, and there will be logistical supply difficulties for the attacking side, which is easy

Create opportunities to defeat us, so Zhuge Liang will definitely stick to Xinwu County. When we cannot continue our food and grass, we will naturally withdraw our troops."

Ding Feng nodded, "The Governor said it well, but how long can our food last?"
