Jin Dongliu looked at his husband and said nothing, but there was clearly a bit of disdain in his eyes. Although he was not from a famous family, he had read books about saints, and he usually got along with mostly people of high status, and he didn't have much dealings with barbarians.
Naturally, he didn't think highly of a tattooed barbarian like his prime minister. However, he knew that his prime minister had some status in front of Wei Ba, so he didn't show his disdain.
"Jingfu...why did you choose Wuyang?" Jin Dongliu has never been used to the title Jingfu and feels it is too awkward.
"Because we know more about it." The prime minister said politely. He turned to Wei Ba and bowed deeply: "Sir, Lu Dai came out in force, and there are not many people left in Wuyang. Let's break through Wuyang's
The chances are better.”
Wei Ba took a breath and exhaled slowly. The Xiangfu's proposal was very attractive. Under his arrangement, the Xiangfu did not rush to regain control of Xiongxi, but instead obtained it with people who were loyal to him.
They were very excited when they learned that their husband was alive and had been replaced by Princess Sun by Wei Ba. They were full of gratitude to Wei Ba and agreed to the request of their husband. The situation of Lu Dai’s army, Wuyang
Even the situation of the Xuefeng Mountain camp was constantly sent to Wei Ba's desk.
Lu Dai's base camp was in Xuefeng Mountain. He built a fortress there and left some guards there. After capturing Wuyang, he used Wuyang as a transit station for baggage transportation and left some troops behind. Lu Dai was not too fond of the barbarians of the Xiongxi tribe.
He trusted them, so he took them all with him. There were no people from the Xiongxi tribe in Wuyang, only people from other small tribes to help guard them.
However, Lu Dai didn't know that Xiongxi Xiangfu was also a hero who gave orders back then. The people who supported him were not only people from his own tribe, but also many people from other small tribes who benefited from him. And there happened to be such a person in Wuyang.
people.
"This can be considered. If we can capture Wuyang, not only can we get some supplies, but we may also be able to replenish some troops." Wei Ba bowed, exchanged a knowing look with his husband, and waved to Jin Dongliu: "
Zhaoming, let’s make a plan for a surprise attack on Wuyang.”
"Here." Seeing that Wei Ba had made a decision, Jin Dongliu no longer had any objections and immediately adjusted the plan and everyone discussed it together.
…
Wuchang. Fuguo General Mansion.
Lu Xun held little Lu Kang's hand and slowly circled around the pool. Little Lu Kang took square steps like a little adult and recited "Spring and Autumn" in a clear childish voice. Sun Shucheng sat on the porch, watching from time to time.
A glance at her husband and son, with a happy and peaceful smile on her lips.
If possible, she hopes that everything in front of her can be maintained forever, no matter how windy and rainy it is outside.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Lu Lan hurriedly walked in from the outside and went straight to Lu Xun by the pool. When Lu Kang saw him, he raised his head. He glanced at Lu Xun disappointedly, bowed obediently, and walked away silently.
.
Lu Xun frowned: "What's the matter, so urgent?"
Lu Lan raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. He leaned forward and said hurriedly: "General, I just found out about the army's arrangements..."
Lu Xun stopped and looked back at Lu Lan. He raised his head and glanced at Sun Shucheng again. He hesitated for a long time and then said, "How?"
"It's very bad." Lu Lan told what he had learned. Although Lu Xun was idle at home, he had always been concerned about the war in Wuling. After Sun Luban came back, he originally thought that the war had improved, so he asked Lu Lan to go
Ask around. Unexpectedly, what Lu Lan found out was exactly the opposite of what he expected. Sun Quan not only did not order the withdrawal of troops, but instead asked Pan Jun and others to speed up the advance of troops. Lu Xun was worried about this, so he asked Lu Lan to find connections to understand the army.
Action details.
Although Lu Xun is unemployed now, he was once an indispensable general. After hard work, Lu Lan got the general action plan of the three-pronged army. With his many years of experience in the army, he could immediately see the plan.
In danger, he hurriedly came to see Lu Xun.
After listening to Lu Lan's narration, Lu Xun was dumbfounded. He stood by the pool, staring straight at the calm water, and said nothing for a long time.
"Where did the princess go?"
"I don't know, no one in the palace has seen her in the past two days."
"So, the princess has suffered a lot and the king is angry." Lu Xun slowly exhaled a long breath with a lonely expression. "The king... his mood has been fluctuating too much recently, and he is not as calm as before."
Lu Lan didn't say anything. He had great opinions on Sun Quan, but Lu Xun couldn't bear to hear that he was disrespectful to Sun Quan, so he didn't dare to say it in front of Lu Xun.
Lu Xun turned around and walked towards the study, his steps a bit hurried and a little rude. Lu Lan looked at it, her nose felt sore and she almost cried. When Sun Shucheng saw it, he hesitated, got up and chased towards the study. When she caught up to the door of the study,
Lu Xun was studying ink. When he felt the figure at the door, he said without raising his head: "Zhongshan, study ink!"
"Husband, do you want to submit another letter?" Sun Shucheng asked breathlessly, holding on to the door frame, his eyes full of pain. Lu Xun's previous petitions made Sun Quan very unhappy, and once he even threw Lu Xun's petition on the ground and used
Foot trampling. When the news reached the house, Lu Xun sat alone in the study all night, as if he had lost his soul. It took a long time for him to recover. She did not want Lu Xun to suffer such a blow again, and she also knew that,
Now that Lu Xun has written a letter, it is very likely that he will anger Sun Quan again.
When Lu Xun heard Sun Shucheng's voice, he raised his head in surprise. He hesitated and waved: "Madam, come here."
Sun Shucheng was stunned for a moment and then walked into the study. Lu Lan arrived at the door just in time. Seeing this scene, he was greatly surprised, then he stopped and quietly retreated out.
"You help me grind the ink, and I will write to the king."
"Husband, if you do this, it will only anger him and will not help."
"I know." Lu Xun's eyebrows twitched uncontrollably, "But the military situation is urgent, so I have to do this."
Sun Shucheng became anxious and raised his voice: "Husband, Pan Bulu and the others still can't defeat a Wei Ba, do you have to give me some advice?"
Lu Xun shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Madam, how can I be so proud? These three people are all capable generals. If any one of them is allowed to command the army, even if they cannot win, at least they will not lose too badly. But now
They are working independently and cannot cooperate with each other. This is the problem. The king does not know why, but he forces them to quickly deal with Wei Ba. Don't you know that this is exactly what Wei Ba wants. If you want to capture Wei Ba, you should surround him with heavy troops and slowly attack him.
The more anxious you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes. I'm worried that after this battle is over, we will have no troops left."
"Is it that serious?" Sun Shucheng took a breath and couldn't help covering his mouth.
"Think about Guanzhong." Lu Xun spread out the paper and looked at Sun Shucheng: "Madam, do you think I can just sit back and ignore it?"
Sun Shucheng hesitated for a long time, rolled up her sleeves, picked up an inkstone, and started to grind the ink. After a while, she finished grinding the ink, and Lu Xun also prepared a pen, and started writing one stroke at a time.
…
Sun Quan looked at Sun Shucheng who was walking up to the hall step by step, frowned, and waved his sleeves impatiently.
"Shu Cheng, why are you here?"
Sun Shucheng prostrated to the ground, touched his forehead to the ground, and kowtowed three times. Hearing the sound of his forehead hitting the floor, Sun Quan's brows furrowed even more tightly. As the eldest of his brother Sun Ce's children, Sun Shucheng treated him favorably.
She also had the biggest opinion. She accepted all his arrangements and never resisted, but her disgust was never concealed. This was the first time she gave him such a big gift like today.
Sun Quan couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
"Shucheng, what happened? Why are you doing this great gift?"
Sun Shucheng fell on the ground and said word by word: "Shucheng would like to ask uncle to show mercy and allow Shucheng to finish reading my husband's memorial."
Sun Quan's brows jumped, anger looming, but when he saw Sun Shucheng lying on the ground, he sighed for no reason: "Although Boyan lives in seclusion, he still seems to be well-informed. I wonder what his high opinions are?
"
Sun Shucheng said in a deep voice: "Shu Cheng has a despicable nature and does not know his superiority. But I ask my uncle to be merciful and allow Shu Cheng to read my husband's memorial. As for the superiority and inferiority, my uncle can naturally discern clearly and it is not something Shucheng can control."
Sun Quan's eyes twitched. He was very angry at Lu Xun's use of Sun Shucheng, but he couldn't bear to reject Sun Shucheng. For so many years, Sun Shucheng never called him uncle. He sighed and said helplessly: "Okay, get up.
, read it to me.”
"Thank you, uncle." Sun Shucheng straightened up, took out the memorial from his arms, cleared his throat, and read it slowly.
Sun Shucheng only read a few sentences before Sun Quan became angry and flushed on his face. He could only hold it back and didn't rush to snatch the memorial from Sun Shucheng's hand. When Sun Shucheng read halfway through, Sun Quan's face suddenly changed and the flushing faded.
pale.
"Shucheng, give it to me quickly." Sun Quan stepped in front of Sun Shucheng in two steps and stretched out his hand hurriedly. Sun Shucheng was startled and quickly hugged Zuoshu in his arms. Sun Quan was anxious and reached out to grab it, but Sun Shucheng stepped back.
Taking a step forward, Gu Li quickly walked over, stopped in front of Sun Quan, and bowed deeply to Sun Shucheng: "Madam, do you believe me?"
Sun Shucheng looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and handed over the memorial in his hand. Gu Li turned and handed it to Sun Quan, who took it, strode to the back of the case, sat down, and looked at it seriously. Under Sun Shucheng's nervous gaze,
After Sun Quan finished reading the memorial, before Sun Shucheng could ask anything, he quickly turned to the beginning and read it again.
He read it three times in succession, and then slowly put down the memorial. He held the edge of the case with one hand and his forehead with the other. His body was as stiff as a stone. A big drop of sweat came out from his forehead and slid across his pale face.
On the face, along the purple beard, drips fell on the snow-white silk. A word was spread, slowly became blurred, and turned into a black flower.
