Mi Han

Chapter 529

Chapter 529

The empty lobby was filled with famous ministers and generals from Jiangdong.

Looking at the old and young faces, Sun Quan couldn't help feeling proud.

The dozens of important ministers in the hall are either Jiang Dongzhu ministers who survived from the era of his father and brother, or young talents he has promoted in the past ten years.

Sun Quan, who is well versed in the way of employing people, of course knows that Jiang Dong's most precious wealth is the large group of important ministers sitting under him in front of him.

They are the greatest confidence in their struggle to dominate the world.

After several years of dormancy, today is the time for the Jiangdong Sun family to show off their might again in the world!

Thinking of this, Sun Quan's face darkened, and he looked down at a general sitting in the front row.

This general is none other than Lu Xun who has been continuously promoted by Sun Quan in recent years.

I think Lu Xun was just a partial general and right governor in Jiangdong during the First World War of Public Security.

But today, after several years of continuous promotion, Lu Xun is now the right guard of Jiangdong, the general of Zhenbei, and has been named Louhou.

It stands to reason that even though Lu Xun is a rare general in this world, there have been very few wars in Jiangdong in recent years, no matter how good Lu Xun is at fighting, he shouldn't be promoted so quickly.

But I can't help that Lu Xun's life is good.

When Sun Quan was defeated in the first battle of Gong'an and fled outside the city of Gong'an, Lu Xun was the only one guarding him at that time, supporting him across the river.

Without Lu Xun, Sun Quan might have died in the hands of Mi Yang that year.

This is not only the guess in Jiangdong's important minister's mind, but also the thought in Sun Quan's own mind.

Therefore, since that battle, Sun Quan has treated Lu Xun very differently for his life-saving grace.

Sun Quan has a very distinct personality, somewhat similar to Cao Pi.

For those who dislike him, Sun Quan will scold them endlessly, and even try their best to humiliate them.

But for the person he loves, Sun Quan will continue to bestow favor on him, as if treating him like a treasure.

What's more, Sun Quan already knew that Lu Xun's talent was no less than that of Zhou Yu back then.

Seeing Sun Quan looking at him, Lu Xun, who had been informed in advance, got up from his seat and came to the center of the hall to pay respects to Sun Quan:

"Supreme!"

After hearing Lu Xun's respectful address, Sun Quan showed a smile on his face.

Boyan, the more I watch it, the more I like it.

He looked at Zhou Yu and Lu Meng in the same way before.

But if you like it, you like it, but Sun Quan didn't waste time.

He took a tiger talisman shining with cold light from the wooden plate held by the waiter at the side.

Then he signaled Lu Xun to come forward with his eyes.

After seeing Sun Quan's actions, even though he had expected it in his heart, this scene still made Lu Xun very excited.

Since Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, Jiangdong's military power has been tightly controlled in his hands.

And for so many years, the only generals who have been valued by Sun Quan to lead Jiangdong's main force to go out to fight alone are Zhou Yu and Lu Meng.

Now that he is about to become the third person, how can he not make Lu Xun feel excited?

No general with a strategic mind would not like the taste of military power, even Lu Xun, who has always been calm.

The excitement in Lu Xun's eyes could not be concealed from Sun Quan.

After seeing the excited look in Lu Xun's eyes, Sun Quan felt both satisfied and sighed.

He was satisfied with Lu Xun's high fighting spirit, and sighed that he could not fight this time himself.

The reason why Sun Quan did not personally conquer Hefei was not because he really trusted Lu Xun to the point of no return. The main reason was that most of the important officials in Jiangdong did not approve of him personally conquering Hefei again.

Anyone who understands the internal reasons understands.

After the First World War of Gong'an, Sun Quan's prestige was damaged a lot, so in the face of the persuasion of most important officials, Sun Quan had to think carefully even if he was reluctant to give up his military power.

But what really made Sun Quan determined was that he was certain to win this battle.

In fact, with Sun Quan's ability to know people, he certainly knew that his martial arts could not be compared with his father and brother, but in order to better control Jiangdong, Sun Quan could only continue to conquer himself.

Thinking that even if you win one game, as long as you win one game.

It is a pity that for decades, except for the victory in the battle against Lujiang, Sun Quan has hardly achieved any major military exploits.

Even lost several games.

On the contrary, Sun Quan formed an obsession, the more he lost, the more he had to prove himself with a big victory.

But the current situation is different from the past.

Sun Quan knew that his prestige had been damaged after the First World War of Public Security. At this time, the Northern Expedition to Hefei was absolutely impossible to make mistakes.

So Sun Quan naturally thought of letting Lu Xun replace him as the coach of the Northern Expedition.

Sun Quan has done this in history.

As soon as the wind blows, he wants to conquest himself.

Whenever there is a headwind or uncertainty, Sun Quan will be extremely keen to find that talented people can turn the tide.

And even though Lu Xun didn't have any great military exploits at the moment, even if his qualifications were not convincing, and many Jiangdong ministers had objections to Lu Xun's command of the army, Sun Quan still chose his own vision in the end.

Sun Quan has never missed the matter of when to choose which general, and this is something that Liu Bei and Cao Cao, the two heroes, cannot do.

And this is also the biggest reason why Sun Quan can be ranked among the top three heroes in the world.

Well, as for Lu Meng, who was sent by the first battle of the Public Security Bureau, to meet Mi Yang, it was purely an accident.

He made a mistake just once in his life.

After making up his mind, Sun Quan handed the tiger talisman to Lu Xun himself, and at the same time Sun Quan said in a deep voice:

"I don't know how to go against Wei, and now I am alone in the name of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and [-] troops are sent to conquer Huainan.

The teacher of the righteous king, he will be invincible in punishing the people and punishing crimes.

Today I beg you to be the general who conquers the North, and conquer Huainan on behalf of my relatives. I also hope that you will not let Gu down, and don't let the people of the world down! "

Sun Quan's words were calm and firm, and when his words fell into Lu Xun's ears, the joy on Lu Xun's face became even stronger.

What Lu Xun was happy about was not that he was promoted, but that Sun Quan had the word "personal enlistment" in Sun Quan's words.

These two characters represent that in this battle, he will have the same power as Sun Quan.

Lu Xun knelt down on one knee, respectfully took the cold tiger talisman from Sun Quan's hand, and then kowtowed:

"The subject must live up to the Supreme!"

Lu Xun's promise brought joy to Sun Quan's face.

But in order to ensure the victory of this battle, Sun Quan made a more direct move next.

Sun Quan untied his own sword, Qingming Sword, and handed it to Lu Xun, and then said to Lu Xun, and even to the Jiangdong ministers present:

"Today you go to battle with Gu Qingming, if anyone dares to violate your integrity during the battle, from clan relatives down to elders, you can kill them all with Gu Qingming sword."

When Sun Quan's words fell into the ears of the Jiangdong ministers in the hall, their expressions all straightened up.

The Qingming sword is the sword that Sun Quan has never left his body for many years. With the blessing of Sun Quanquan's prestige, the Qingming sword has already become the symbol of the Lord of Jiangdong.

What's more, Sun Quan not only handed the Qingming Sword into Lu Xun's hands, but also said this sentence in front of all the officials.

Under the blessing of the two, the Jiangdong ministers gradually put away their contempt for Lu Xun, especially those generals who will join the army this time.

However, as time goes by, how long this status quo will last is unknown.

After all, Lu Xun looks weak and weak, and seems to be easy to bully.

After using his own authority to coat Lu Xun with a layer of gold, Sun Quan finally said to Lu Xun with peace of mind:

"Go.

The opportunity to achieve world-wide fame is waiting for you. "

Sun Quan's words were like magic, raising Lu Xun's fighting spirit to the highest level.

At this moment, the young figure outside Xiakou City appeared in his mind.

To this day, Lu Xun still believes that if Sun Quan had used his strategy back then, Mi Yang would not have won the battle for public security in the end.

But the past has finally become a fact. Lu Xun has only one thought in his mind now, and that is to constantly improve himself.

In this way, when I face him in the future, I will have full confidence in my heart.

Thinking of this, Lu Xun stood up with a firm face, and then walked out with his head held high.

Following Lu Xun's departure, the generals in the hall formed into two rows, followed Lu Xun and walked towards the hall, toward the distant Huainan.

Looking at the backs of Lu Xun and the generals leaving, Sun Quan thought to himself:

From then on, the general trend of the world, whether it can be a true three-legged confrontation, depends on this battle!

Since Sun Quan had prepared everything for the expedition long ago, after Lu Xun walked out of Taiwei's Mansion, he took a group of generals and took a boat to quickly head towards Lujiang County.

Huainan is actually an empty regional concept, and if divided according to that regional concept, part of Lujiang County also belongs to the Huainan area.

Because of this, Lujiang County's status in Jiangdong has always been no less than that of Jiangxia County.

As long as Lujiang County is firmly in your hands, not only can you defend Jiangdong's Yangtze River defense line, but also allow Jiangdong's army to have a base north of the Yangtze River to enter Huainan.

Under the order of Sun Quan, the troops, food and grass mobilized from all over Jiangdong were hoarded in Wancheng, the government office of Lujiang County.

Due to the convenience of water transportation, Lu Xun and the Jiangdong generals arrived in Wancheng within two days.

After arriving in Wancheng, Lu Xun didn't care about rest, so he convened a council before the army.

What Lu Xun wanted to discuss was the specific battle plan for this attack on Hefei.

Hefei will not be an unfamiliar city to any Jiangdong general.

Because as early as this year, Sun Quan personally commanded troops to attack Hefei City three times.

Except for the time when Sun Quan was absent-minded in the 24th year of Jian'an, the other two times Sun Quan was determined to win Hefei and shocked the world.

Then, let's not mention the process.

Although they attacked Hefei three times, they all returned without success, but after sending troops three times, Jiangdong's generals were already familiar with the terrain around Hefei city.

However, there are no less than a dozen plans for the corresponding attack on Hefei.

Logically speaking, Lu Xun didn't need to convene another parliament, he just had to choose one of the dozens of plans.

But it is obvious that among the dozens of plans conceived by Sun Quan, none of them caught Lu Xun's eyes.

This can also be seen from Lu Xun's choice to send troops from Wancheng.

When Sun Quan conquered Hefei three times in person, he always took the same route of attacking troops - he led his troops to Ruxuwu not far from Jianye City, and from here took advantage of Ruxuwu's water transportation to go directly to Chaohu Lake outside Hefei City. in the waters.

There are three advantages to this approach.

One advantage is that the convenience of water transportation can be used to greatly reduce the logistical pressure on Wu Jun.

Another advantage is that due to the advanced Jiangdong warships, this can also greatly speed up the marching speed of the Wu army, achieving the effect of speedy soldiers.

The last advantage is that with the existence of boats, as long as Wu Jun does not fall into heavy siege, then Wu Jun's retreat has always been very stable.

Judging from these three benefits, it cannot be said that Sun Quan chose the wrong route to enter the army.

But in Lu Xun's view, this route has the most terrible problem. This problem is that no matter how good this route is, you can't always choose this route!

Cao Wei's governors in Huainan changed quite frequently, but no matter which governor was in office, they would subconsciously strengthen defenses on this route.

It is true that Wu Jun, who has the advantage of boats, can finally reach outside Hefei safely even if Wei Jun stops him.

But if you want to attack Hefei City, you can't rely on boats and navy.

When the Wu army's infantry disembarked, the Wei army, which already had more cavalry, would definitely use various methods to harass the Wu army.

Under such circumstances, Wu Jun fell into a situation where although he had a retreat, he was unable to protect himself.

In this way, how can Wu Jun not be panicked, and how can he achieve great results?

Just because he knew that the route Sun Quan had chosen before was no longer in line with the actual situation, Lu Xun decisively transferred the army to Wancheng.

And even though Lu Xun let the generals speak freely in order to brainstorm, but after a long discussion, all the Jiangdong veterans did not give Lu Xun any good suggestions.

Seeing this, Lu Xun could only express his own opinion in the end.

"Cao Wei's Yangzhou pastor is now Cao Xiu, and I see him fighting very bravely, and he is best at fast-attack tactics.

That being the case, our army will definitely not be able to show any flaws and be taken advantage of by the enemy.

I think our army should be divided into two groups.

All the way was led by Han Gong, who was a suspicious soldier, and went west to find Yang with a bluff.

On the other side, the main force of our army was led by me personally, and I took advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to surprise the three counties of Shuxian, Linhu, and Xiang'an.

After these three counties fall into our army, the entire Lujiang River will be under our army's control. At that time, our army will be invincible! "

After hearing Lu Xun's thoughts, the generals couldn't help but looked at each other.

Xunyang is the westernmost county in Lujiang County. Most importantly, Xunyang County is close to Weijiangxia County where Wenpin is stationed.

And if Han Dang led the army to Xunyang with great fanfare, it would be easy for the enemy to mistakenly believe that the real purpose of the Wu army was in Jiangxia County.

After all, Jiangxia County is no less important than Huainan.

It is understandable for Lu Xun to arrange the generals at this point, but Lu Xun's idea of ​​regaining the entire Lujiang River puzzles the generals.

As the saying goes, soldiers are expensive and fast, and you have sent suspicious soldiers to Xunyang, why not take advantage of the enemy's paralysis and rush all the way to the city of Hefei?

Wouldn't it be more unexpected?

But you chose to recover the three counties of Lujiang.

Although the three counties of Lujiang are under the control of the Wei army, they have never affected the Wu army's marching route. If so, what is the use of capturing them?

Because of their confusion, the generals saw this as an expression of Lu Xun's cowardice, and this expression was unacceptable to them.

They didn't know that this was an important part of Lu Xun's capture of Hefei.
