Lu Xuan looked at Qiu Yu and ordered: "Go back and rest for a while. Have a good rest. Then, go directly to the Ministry of War, collect the corresponding armor and weapons, and return to Dashi County, Liaodong with all the supplies. Tell Gan Ning and Pang Tong
, let them prepare food and troops, and I will arrange people to coordinate and capture Liaodong."
"Here!"
Qiu Yu became excited.
As long as the King of Wu arranges people to support him, the capture of Liaodong will be just around the corner.
Qiu Yu clasped his fists and saluted, then left in a hurry.
Gu Yong's expression suddenly became serious, and he said: "The king wants to arrange for people to respond. Are you planning to go to Liaodong himself?"
Lu Xuan laughed and said, "How does brother-in-law know?"
Gu Yong curled his lips and said angrily: "In these years, when has your Majesty not visited the front line in person like this? This time it involves Liaodong, and you said you would provide support. My first thought was that I am afraid that Your Majesty will go there in person."
Lu Xuan said: "If you don't go there in person, how can you make the best use of the Liaodong chess piece?"
Gu Yong looked worried and patiently advised: "Your Majesty is a man of ten thousand gold. He is responsible for the life and death of the people of Wu. There is no need to put himself in danger. There are generals in the army, such as Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, who are from the north. Zhang Liao can lead him."
Soldiers go. It’s too dangerous for the king to go in person."
Lu Xuan shook his head and said: "No, I have other arrangements for my trip north this time. Anyone who comes, please inform Jia Xu, Lu Su, and Zhang Zhao to come and discuss matters."
Lu Xun arranged for someone to inform him.
After a while, Jia Xu, Lu Su and Zhang Zhao entered hand in hand, bowed and sat aside.
Lu Xuan said directly: "Gan Ning and Pang Tong have captured a county in Liaodong and have established a foothold. However, they are now unable to expand. If they want to further capture Liaodong and expand the results of Liaodong, they will need more investment."
"At this stage, they have sent back a thousand war horses. We claim to have purchased these thousand war horses to avoid Cao Cao and Yuan Shao discovering our arrangements in Liaodong."
"In addition, in order to expand the results of Liaodong's victory, I plan to go there myself."
Lu Xuan made arrangements.
Lu Su and Zhang Zhao looked at each other, with some bitter expressions on their faces.
Their king is too adventurous and likes to go to the front line.
Lu Su advised: "Your Majesty, there is actually no need for you to go there in person. The country of Wu is rich in talents and there are enough people to arrange it. If you go to the north, if you encounter any danger, the consequences will be disastrous."
Zhang Zhao agreed: "I agree, especially going to the sea to the north. Although it is a mature trade route, natural disasters are unpredictable. No one can predict that there will be problems on the sea. Once there is a storm, there will be no way to go to the village or store on the sea."
,How can the king save himself?"
Lu Xuan shook his head and said: "I am going north this time, not by sea, but by land. I will hide my whereabouts with my people and will not be discovered."
Zhang Zhao's cheeks twitched when he heard this.
Very helpless.
Zhang Zhao said sincerely again: "Your Majesty, please think twice before you act."
Lu Xuan said: "I have carefully considered it. This time I go north to Jizhou to make important arrangements. We have had our own intelligence network and people in Jizhou over the years, so there will be no problems.
"
"The key is that I want to see Gongsun Zan in person. The enemy of our enemy is our friend. Gongsun Zan can operate here. If it were other people, I wouldn't be able to do it myself."
Zhang Zhao thought about it carefully, and there was no doubt that Yuan Shao was determined to destroy Gongsun Zan.
It should be possible to win over Gongsun Zan.
There won't be any big problem.
Zhang Zhao looked at Lu Xuan's expression again and knew that Lu Xuan was determined to go to Liaodong. He couldn't stop him, so he said: "I will obey the king's arrangement. However, when going north this time, the king must be cautious and take Xu Chu with him to ensure safety."
Lu Xuanxiao said: "Don't worry Zibu, with Xu Chu here, my safety is not a problem. What's more, you are all unanimously opposed to my going north. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao couldn't guess that I would leave. So this time, I pretended to be a merchant and went north.
No one will find out."
Zhang Zhao said: "In short, your Majesty must be cautious and cautious."
Lu Xuan nodded and said: "This time when I go north, Jia Xu will give me some advice. Zijing, you will sit in the palace and be responsible for the military dispatch of Wu State."
"I obey."
Lu Su immediately answered with clasped fists.
He knew that Lu Xuan's arrangement was to let him control the army as the last pillar.
This is the king's trust.
Lu Xuan nodded, looked at Zhang Zhao, and ordered: "Zibu, you are responsible for the government affairs of the State of Wu."
"I obey."
Zhang Zhao also answered immediately.
Zhang Zhao has no objection to Lu Su's command of the army. Lu Xuan's subordinates have always separated military and political affairs. When Zhou Yu was there before, Zhou Yu was in charge of the army. Now that Zhou Yu has gone to Yuzhou, Lu Su, as Lu Xuan's best confidant,
It is normal to stay behind and control the army.
Lu Xuan looked at Gu Yong again and ordered: "Brother-in-law, you also sit in the rear and arrange intelligence personnel to accompany me. At the same time, pay close attention to the movements of all parties. If there is any trouble, notify me through intelligence."
"I understand."
Gu Yong nodded and answered.
Lu Xuan finally said: "The news of my departure must be hidden and cannot be leaked."
"I obey."
Zhang Zhao, Lu Su and Gu Yong answered in unison.
Lu Xuan waved his hand and everyone retreated.
Lu Xuan called Lu Xun again and asked Lu Xun to take charge of all the affairs of the royal palace. This time Lu Xuan did not bring Lu Xun, Yang Xiu, Zhuge Jin and others because there was no need. Lu Xuan arranged things for Lu Xun and others, and arranged people
Notify Chen Deng and instruct Chen Deng to keep an eye on the rear to ensure the safety of the rear.
Lu Xuan made arrangements in all aspects.
Finally, Lu Xuan returned to the backyard, told Da Qiao about his departure, and asked Da Qiao to take care of everything at home.
After everything was arranged, Lu Xuan took Jia Xu, Xu Chu, and thirty personal guards and quietly left Shu County and headed north. When Lu Xuan set out, he had already arranged for spies to go to Jizhou to inquire about Zhao Yun through the intelligence network under Gu Yong's command.
.
The news that Lu Xuan could remember was that Zhao Yun was working under Gongsun Zan. Because his brother died of illness, Zhao Yun returned to Zhending County of Changshan State to observe mourning.
Since then, Zhao Yun disappeared for a long time.
As the Battle of Guandu approached, Zhao Yuncai appeared again.
According to the time, Zhao Yun should still be in Jizhou, so Lu Xuan asked Gu Yong's people to closely inquire about the information so that he could go north to find someone.
This time when going to Liaodong, Lu Xuan would pass through Jizhou. Although there was a slight risk, compared with the risk, once Zhao Yun could be accepted, for Lu Xuan, the power of the entire general system would be further enhanced.
Even though Lu Xuan's territory of Wu State became more and more vast and many generals were assigned to local areas, there were still tiger generals around him.
Lu Xuan's route to the north did not go north through Yanzhou. If he went north through Yanzhou, he would easily encounter dangers through the Yanzhou area, so Lu Xuan took Xuzhou. He went along the Yangtze River to Xuzhou, and then transferred from Xuzhou to Qingzhou.
The northern area of Xuzhou is occupied by Taishan bandits.
It would be easier for Lu Xuan to travel through such a chaotic area, as no one would pay attention to Lu Xuan and others.
After Lu Xuan passed through Xuzhou, he entered Bohai County in Jizhou from Qingzhou, walked southwest of Bohai County, entered Anping Kingdom in Jizhou, entered Zhongshan Kingdom, and finally entered Changshan Kingdom and went straight to Zhending County.
Such an arrangement can avoid Wei County, the hinterland where Yuan Shao is located.
The route planned by Lu Xuan avoided easily exposed areas, so the journey went smoothly. When it was close to May, Lu Xuan, Xu Chu, Jia Xu and his party had entered Zhending County of Changshan Kingdom.
