Sun Quan decided to marry his niece Sun Xiaoyun to Lu Xun.

Sun Xiaoyun is the daughter of Sun Ce. In this way, Sun Quan becomes uncle Lu Xun's father-in-law.

Sun Quan only recruited Lu Xun as an adviser. Lu Xun had always been courteous and courteous in front of Sun Quan. He would be even more respectful when he got married.

In addition, Lu Xun was mature by nature, smart, always consistent in doing things, and very reliable. Sun Quan relied more and more on him.

It turned out that Sun Quan saw that the situation in Soochow was unsustainable, so he planned to move the capital to Jianye. But moving the capital was a big deal. There were many things that needed to be dealt with urgently. The officials saw that the situation in Soochow was over and they planned their own way out. So they all divided Internal affairs were delayed, causing Sun Quan to have difficulties in handling the matter of moving the capital.[

In desperation, Sun Quan had no choice but to transfer his prospective niece-in-law Lu Xun back from his post at Haichang and entrust him with an important task.

Another point is that in order to consolidate power, Sun Quan is busy promoting cronies. For this reason, he also wants to seize the time to arrange the marriage for his niece Sun Xiaoyun and Lu Xun.

When Lu Xun returned to Chaisang, he immediately went straight to the Yamen to meet Sun Quan as soon as he entered the city.

Sun Quan briefly introduced the situation in Soochow to him. Then he said: "You and Yun'er have been engaged for two years. The current situation is like this. I want to seize the time to arrange the marriage for you. Well, do you have any requirements? Although Tell me and listen."

When Lu Xun heard this, he thought for a while. He stood up, clasped his fists and saluted, saying: "My lord, I consider everything for Boyan's sake. Boyan is very grateful. Of course, the wedding is what Boyan wants. But Boyan has his own ideas. I don't know." Should I report it to my lord?"

When Sun Quan heard this, he comforted him repeatedly: "Haha. If you have something to say, let it be in the future. Let it be in the future."

Lu Xun said: "The situation in Soochow is urgent now. According to Boyan's wishes, it would be better to postpone the wedding until the capital is moved to Jianye before making a decision. I don't know what my lord will do."

When Sun Quan heard this, he praised him repeatedly: "Hehehehe. Boyan, this is a man who wholeheartedly serves the country. Well, since you are willing, I will agree. Besides, the situation at hand is urgent, and there must be some imperfections in getting married in a hurry. Yes. .I am afraid that I will have lifelong regrets. This is something I don’t want to do. I am also afraid of being sorry for my elder brother who left early.

In this case, very good, very good. It’s settled like this. You go home and have a rest for the night. There will be an important meeting here tomorrow morning. I hope you can come over in time to attend."

After hearing this, Lu Xun said goodbye to Sun Quan and walked around the city. He visited several old friends and colleagues in the officialdom and learned more about the situation in Chaisang. Then he went home to rest for the night.

At this time, Lu Xun stood up and asked to speak. It was at the meeting the next day.

At this time, Sun Quan saw that all the officials were in a twilight mood. He felt very disappointed and sad. He was about to make up his mind and issue an order to move the capital. Suddenly he saw Lu Xun stand up and speak. He felt a surprise in his heart. It was as if he suddenly met an enlightened person when he was lost. He said repeatedly: "If Bo Yan has something to say, no matter what happens in the future, we are all our own people. What should I say and what shouldn't be said?"

Lu Xun spoke very loudly. He said: "My subordinates believe that although the situation is critical, it is not out of control."

Having said this, he looked at everyone and saw that Sun Quan and everyone were surprised. Liu Cong continued: "After my subordinates came back yesterday, they listened to the Lord's teachings and went to the city to understand the situation. They have a preliminary understanding of the situation between the enemy and ourselves. .So I feel that there is no need to move the capital for the time being.

As long as we work together, Liu Cong is not invincible. As long as we defeat Liu Cong, the situation will naturally settle down.

Besides, moving the capital is a national event. Once action is taken, the government and the public will be shaken, and the situation in Soochow will be difficult to stabilize for a while.

Also, if we move the capital, we will definitely be able to get Liu Cong to withdraw his troops.

My subordinates believe that with a powerful enemy facing us, it is a bad idea to avoid and retreat; only to stand up and resist is the only way to protect ourselves."

After hearing this, Sun Quan felt as if he had been injected with a shot of cardiotonic by Liu Cong. His confidence immediately increased. He hurriedly urged Liu Cong to continue: "Does Boyan have a clever plan to save the people from danger? Tell me quickly."[

At this time, Lu Xun became silent. He just looked at Sun Quan for a while and then said: "I have a preliminary plan, but it is not mature yet. I just want to report it to the lord privately and ask the lord to make a decision."

Sun Quan understood immediately and quickly dismissed the meeting. Lu Xun, Cheng Puhan, Zhou Tailu Meng and several close generals were left to listen to Lu Xun's plan to save Soochow.

So everyone started over and listened to Lu Xun's analysis of the current situation and the military situation in Soochow and Jingzhou. When Lu Xun finished introducing his determined battle plan in detail, Sun Quan and the generals clapped and cheered.

So Sun Quan immediately ordered Lu Xun to be the commander-in-chief of the three armies. He immediately set out to fight with Liu Cong's troops in Jingzhou.

The next day, Lu Xun ordered Ding Feng Xu Sheng to be the vanguard on the left and right. He also ordered Xu Sheng to lead 10,000 troops to set up camp at Niujiao Pass: "The camp will be stationed here at Niujiao Pass. Two thousand troops will be sent to guard the pass. In this way, Jingzhou soldiers Even if there are 100,000 troops, it will be difficult for them to cross Niujiao Pass."

Then he ordered Ding Feng to lead his troops to Yuzhang. On the way, Ding Feng asked Lu Xun: "Grand Governor, Liu Cong is in a hurry to attack Jiujiang City at the moment. Why didn't our army go to rescue Zhu Ran of Jiujiang? Instead, we chose the distance instead of the near. I fought with Wei Yan."

He stayed silent for a while before asking Ding Feng: "General Ding should know the plan of 'surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao'. I have a good plan. This trip will defeat Liu Cong's 40,000 Jingzhou troops in one fell swoop."

Ding Feng saw that Lu Xun no longer spoke clearly, so he stopped asking further questions.

To make a long story short, that's it. Lu Xun took 20,000 troops and stayed outside Yuzhang City to hide. He and Ding Feng observed the situation from a high altitude. Then he sent a scout to bring a secret letter, disguised as a mountain man, to the other side of Jiujiang City and flew the secret letter. The arrow shot into the city. The city guard Wu Fan acted like this.

The next day, Wei Yan led his troops and fought with Wu Fan outside Jiujiang City. After fighting for a while, Wu Fan escaped back to the city as planned. Wei Yan fell into the trap and pursued him into the city.

After Lu Xun found out on the mountain, he said happily: "Wei Yan has fallen into the trap. Hahahahaha. Follow my order and fight into the city."

After shouting, he took 20,000 horses with him. Shouting, he rushed down the mountain and rushed into the city. He drove Wei Yan's 10,000 horses out of Jiujiang City. Then he ordered hundreds of Wu soldiers to change into Jingzhou soldiers' ambush clothes, and did not pursue Wei Yan's deserters. Braving the heavy rain, we took a detour to Pingdingshan Jingzhou Military Camp for a surprise attack.

To be honest, fortunately it rained heavily and it was dark and the road was slippery, which was not conducive to marching and fighting. Otherwise, Yuan Ying and Pang Zihui led 20,000 Jingzhou soldiers, and they really didn't dare not to be defeated by Lu Xun.

Although the night attack on the Pingdingshan camp did not achieve full success, Lu Xun's move did temporarily block the offensive of Liu Cong's Jingzhou soldiers.

Lu Xun led his troops overnight and returned to Niujiao Pass to garrison. He also sent Ding Feng and five thousand troops to Yuzhang to help Wu Fan defend the city.
