Lu Xun looked at the map and said excitedly, "Your Majesty has really profound plans. With this map, the army can save a lot of trouble."
After Lu Xun finished studying the map, Lu Su asked again, "Does Boyan have any questions or needs?"
Lu Xun raised his head and said seriously, "It's nothing, but the general believes that the army should not set off from the Huaihe River. Although the distance from the Huaihe River to the sea can be shortened, it is easy for Wei to find out the news. Although it is farther by the Yangtze River, it is better to be hidden."
"Hahaha……"
Lu Su laughed loudly and said, "Your Majesty has thought of this a long time ago. Now all the troops and supplies going to sea are in Wu County. Everything is ready and waiting for you, the coach!"

Lu Xun hesitated for a moment, then asked, "One last thing, General. Liaodong and the Korean Peninsula are far away from our homeland of Dachu. If...if there is anything I need to ask for advice..."
"The king allows you to act cheaply! If you encounter any undecided matters, you don't have to repay. You have the right to kill first and report later!"
Before Lu Xun finished speaking, Lu Su interrupted him. After that, he patted Lu Xun on the shoulder and said, "Bo Yan, the king has high hopes for you. Don't let him down."
Lu Xun stood up and kowtowed in the direction of Xiangyang, saying, "I will fight to the death and spare no effort for my great Chu!"
Three days later, in the military camp outside Wu County, Lu Xun was sitting on the commander's seat, looking around at Xu Sheng and Chen Wu and the generals and said, "Generals! Your Majesty, with this general as your commander, ordered our army to expedition to Korea.
, since I am the commander-in-chief, I must govern the army according to military laws. Anyone who dares to violate military orders or disobey orders will be punished by military law!"
"I will obey the general's orders!"
Lu Xun is right to say so. In Sun Quan's time, Xu Sheng and Chen Wu had much higher official positions than him. Now, Liu Cong rules the south, and after Lu Xun has been reused, his status is already above that of Xu and Chen.
.
The once inconspicuous young general was now above them, and the two of them were inevitably a little dissatisfied. Lu Xun's words were spoken first, which was regarded as a vaccine for everyone. In the future, there would be no disagreement between the generals.
, then don’t blame him for being ruthless.
"Xu Sheng listens to the order!"
"The end is here!"

"Call the army immediately and prepare to board the ship!"
"I will obey your orders!"
"Chen Wu obeys the order!"
"The end is here!"
"I order you to lead five thousand troops and two hundred ships to be the vanguard of our army!"
"I will obey your orders!"
The evening wind blew on the Yangtze River. On the Yangtze River, there were countless boats going back and forth. Farther away, there were many fishermen casting nets in the river to catch fish.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
…
Suddenly there was the sound of drums upstream, and then what came into view were dozens of naval warships, with the Chu-character flag fluttering in the wind and making a hunting sound!

"All ships should give way, all ships should dock!"
"All ships should give way, all ships should dock!"
The flag bearer stood on the bow of the ship, constantly waving the flag and issuing flag messages. The soldiers on the ship gathered everywhere and shouted to the surrounding merchant ships and fishing boats.
Not long after, the river was vacated, and all the boats were rowed to the ferries on both sides of the river and the shore. Many people stood on the shore and watched.
"Woo! Woo!"
A heavy horn sounded, and two hundred naval warships came slowly. The ships rowed across the river, and the turbulent river water rushed to both sides. Seeing such a scene, people immediately started talking.
"We, the Chu State, are going to send troops again? Who are we going to fight?"
"Who else can I fight? They must be fighting Cao Cao. Your Majesty has defeated Cao Cao not once or twice. Chu's army is invincible in the world!"
"That's right. With such a strong army, we can fish with peace of mind. If your Majesty can destroy Cao Cao's thieves and unify the world, then our peaceful life will be even better."
To this day, the people in the Jiangdong area of Chu State have long since turned their hearts to the Liu family due to Liu Cong's new policies and the dual actions of defeating Shanyue.

It has been six years since Liu Cong pacified Jiangdong. During these six years, the people of Jiangdong have been living a stable life. Under the influence of the New Deal, the people's lives are not only stable, but also becoming more prosperous.
In the external military confrontation with the Wei State, the Chu State also won many times, and many people in Jiangdong actively joined the army. What is even more unexpected is that the people of the entire Chu State no longer resisted the war.
Even, there is even some support!
In Liu Cong's foreign wars, he was almost always victorious. From the army to the people of Chu, no one thought that Chu's army had an unbeatable enemy!
More importantly, Liu Cong's ruthless treatment of the barbarians and the resumption of the slavery system reduced the Chu State's reliance on the power of the people. Since the annihilation of Shanyue, the entire Chu State rarely used civilians to build large-scale construction projects.
The most massive battle in Huainan, because of the transportation route of the Yangtze River waterway, only about 200,000 civilian slaves were used.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Chu people, the more Liu Cong won externally, the better off their lives would be. Whether the scholar-bureaucrats supported Liu Cong's cruelty to the outside world is unknown to the people, but the people were very supportive.
Dead Taoist friends are not dead Taoists, there are barbarians doing the hard work for them, why not do it?
While people were talking, a larger fleet of ships moved down the river from the upstream, its sails were blown bulging. It was not until sunset that the entire fleet disappeared from people's sight.
There were more than 2,000 warships heading north this time. In addition to the 40,000 troops, all the ordnance and food were stored on board. The scale was not small.

The last time Zhou Yu crossed the sea to go north to Xuzhou, he only used 60 large ships, and the other warships totaled only more than 800.
But Zhou Yu's goal was relatively close, and he could plunder grain and grass in Xuzhou, so there was no need for such a large-scale war.
Lu Xun's trip north this time is different. Not to mention the distance, various problems may occur at sea at any time. Although Lu Xun has experience in leading troops to sea, he must make sufficient preparations for these things.
In addition to food, grass and ordnance, Liu Cong even equipped the Northern Expedition army with more than 300 doctors, as well as all kinds of medicinal materials and daily necessities.
The most important thing is fresh water. After the Yangtze River went out to sea, it was impossible for Lu Xun to contact the land. Before reaching the destination, if it didn't rain, the Chu army heading north would even have a water source.
However, Lu Xun has experience with these things, and generally speaking, he should not make any mistakes. If he really memorizes some of them, the Chu army will be blown away by the storm like the Yuan army in history. Then Liu Cong can only admit that he is unlucky.
He couldn't bear such a result. With an army of 40,000 and a rare commander, it was a considerable loss even for the Chu State.
The risks are high, and the rewards are naturally high. If Lu Xun can successfully land on the Korean Peninsula, then all the previous ideas of Liu Cong, Lu Su and others can be realized.
The benefits and benefits of this result to Chu State are obvious.
"What are you looking at?"

On the building ship, Xu Sheng stood on the deck, looking at the black ocean in the distance. Lu Xun's voice suddenly came from behind.
Xu Sheng turned around and looked, and Lu Xun came from the cabin with a few soldiers. With a somewhat different emotion, Xu Sheng cupped his hands to Lu Xun and said, "I will pay my respects to the general."
