"Old minister, I obey."

Zhang Zhao lowered his head and bowed in salute. He wondered if Sun Quan was finally going to rectify the situation? With the successive decline of Huaisi generals, the power of the Jiangdong gentry is indeed too great. I am willing to hand you the sword.

Lu Fan's words in the letter were urgent, and he was particularly worried that the rear would take too long. If Guan Yu knew the news and sent reinforcements, the Soochow invasion would not be able to achieve the best effect.

Sun Quan was not lazy in the face of interests. After settling everything in Jianye, he left the city in military uniform and rushed to Ruxuwu with Hu Zong's right wing of Jiefanwei.

The reason why Sun Quan brought his private soldiers to see Lu Xun was, on the one hand, for his own safety, and on the other hand, he was worried that Lu Xun would not cooperate and even a slight delay would delay the opportunity to fight.

For a monarch in this era, the greatest reliance could only be on the ruthless army. Sun Quan vaguely remembered that when he succeeded to the throne, Zhou Yu always brought an army back to attend the funeral, so the other party took away Zhang Zhao's auxiliary power.

After Sun Quan left, Hu Ke immediately became a powerful figure in Jianye. He controlled the port in the name of supervising the transportation of military grain, and used Yu's trading company's cargo ships to help transport grain to the front line. News about the Yangtze River waterway was blocked.

Everything in Jianye seems to be in order, the public security is good, and the people are happy, but a drastic change is brewing.

While waiting for news about Ru Xu and Chai Sang, Hu Ke was counting the names of the nobles and nobles in Jianye City. As long as the situation ahead changed, he would be able to turn his hands into clouds and rain.

Sun Quan raised an army to seize Jiaozhou and Jingnan, and the news finally reached Lu Xun's ears. The moment Lu Xun heard it, he felt as if his soul was out of his body.

Lu Xun had learned about Lan Tian's abilities in Dongting. The current situation in Jiangdong was already very bad, and he couldn't figure out why Sun Quan wanted to die.

The last time Ruxuwu and Chaisang changed defenses, Lu Xun wrote to Jianye to inquire about the reason. In the end, Sun Quan wrote back and scolded him for not knowing the seriousness of the situation, so he was too hesitant to speak up.

When he learned that Sun Quan was coming to Ruxuwu, Lu Xun made up his mind to give him some advice and let Lu Fan withdraw his army to recuperate before he made a big mistake.

When Sun Quan arrived, his expression was serious. He nodded slightly to Lu Xun and asked him to summon all the future officials in the dock to meet him.

Not long after, Sun Song, Zhu Huan, Quan Cong and other generals all came to see them. Sun Quan looked at everyone and nodded slightly, and then solemnly said: "I went to attack Lantian with an army of overwhelming strength. Guangzhou was not well guarded and was captured by Dai Liang. Take it."

The whole of Jiaozhou is just around the corner. Lantian has raised troops in Changsha to resist, but his strength is at the end. Ziheng is now holding him in Pingxiang, and Gu wants to send troops from Ruxuwu to reinforce."

"Your Majesty, Ruxuwu..." Lu Xun stopped talking.

Sun Quan said calmly: "We won't transfer all of them. We only need half of the troops in the dock. I believe Lantian will not be able to resist."

"Half? A few days ago, the envoy was attacked in Huainan. The Wei people thought it was from us. I heard that Cao Pi paid special attention to Sima Wuhou. I was worried that he would use this as an excuse to let Jiang Ji send troops..."

When Lu Xun was talking, he glanced at Master Sima next to him and said to himself that although I was using your brother as an excuse, what I said was indeed the truth.

Sun Quan could feel that Master Sima was breathing rapidly, but the other party was very calm and did not ask questions rashly. This made Sun Quan very happy, and he was the person in the prophecy after all.

"How many people does Jiang Ji have in Huainan?" Sun Quan asked with a frown.

Lu Xun replied in a low voice: "About 30,000 to 40,000 troops."

"That's not much. If the Governor is worried, I will stay alone in Ruxu and guard with you." Sun Quan gave the other party a cold face.

"Uh... no..." Lu Xun looked confused. He had no idea how he had offended Sun Quan. Couldn't the ministers give him advice?

Sun Quan ignored Lu Xun, turned around and started to order the generals directly: "Zi Qiao (Sun Song), Xiu Mu (Zhu Huan), Zi Fan (Zhu Ju), Zi Huang (Quan Cong), your troops total more than 20,000, lead them immediately.

Send troops to help Zi Heng, wait until Lantian is wiped out and Jingnan counties are captured, and I will grant you all the title of marquis."

"I will obey your orders." The four generals clasped their fists in unison and answered in unison.

Sun Quan drew such a big cake, and the four generals could not suppress their joy. Lu Xun saw that things had come to this and could no longer persuade him, so he could only stand aside and watch with open eyes.

"But one thing you must remember is that the second son of Lantian, Lan Jiyong, is superior to others. You should not fight with him rashly. Just follow Zi Heng's orders when you arrive in Pingxiang." Sun Quan continued to warn.

"Wei." The four of them clasped their fists again.

Sun Quan then waved his hand gently, "Now you go to assemble the army and set off immediately when you are ready. If you go late, you may be afraid that Lan Tian will run away."

After hearing this, Zhu Huan and the other four people started to move. They said goodbye to Sun Quan, and Lu Xun went back to camp to prepare, and then traveled day and night to Pingxiang to find a marquis.

"Your Majesty, this move is too risky. You have staked everything in Jiangdong. If something happens along the way, wouldn't it be possible to save the day? Don't forget Lantian Xuan Owl, his ingenuity is unparalleled..." Lu Xun walked to Sun Quan's side.

Shaking his head and sighing.

Sun Quanxin said that you were the biggest change. If it weren't for the purpose of stabilizing the military morale of Ruxuwu and the influence of the Gu and Lu families in Jianye, and he had just relieved you of military power, how could he still hear the strange yin and yang?

"Ahem, what could happen? Dai Liang has conquered Guangzhou a few days ago, and his old nest in Lantian is gone. Now that he is at the end of his rope, his plans are short-sighted, and there is nothing to worry about." Sun Quan continued to sarcastically, and he found that he was confronting him.

Lu Xun felt a sense of relief.

"Isn't there Gao Shun in Guangzhou? This man is also a rare good general in the world. With Dai Liang's usual abilities, he may not be his opponent. Will the news ahead be wrong? Your Majesty should do more screening...

"

Lu Xun resisted the pressure and continued to raise his questions. Unexpectedly, Sun Quan still responded coldly.

"Both Gao Shun and Lan Tian relied on the trapped troops. Now that the trapped troops have been sent to Guan Yu, Gao Shun is also a veteran who is over sixty years old. How much strength is left? Furthermore, the Guangzhou city wall had not been properly built before, and Dai Liang had to rely on his numbers.

There's nothing wrong with winning. It's just Lan Tian trapping himself. As for the Governor, who is worried that the news is wrong? I don't believe that Zi Heng will spread the news falsely."

"Uh..." Lu Xun was speechless for a moment.

"Hmph... I'm feeling a little tired now. I'm sorry to have you arrange a dormitory for me to rest. I have to stay in Ruxuwu for a while." Sun Quan was very good at saying this today, giving Lu Xun no chance to refute.

"I don't dare, I will go and make arrangements immediately." Lu Xun bowed and clasped his fists in fear.

The fourth general Zhu Huan was about to go on an expedition, and their single dormitory became vacant. Lu Xun immediately sent someone to clean it, and then invited Sun Quan, Zhuge Jin and other entourage to rest.

After Lu Xun had settled in, he said goodbye to Sun Quan and closed the door. Upon seeing this, Master Sima immediately asked for instructions: "Father, the governor seems to know the news about Zhaodi. I want to go out with him and ask him. Can I come back to serve you later?"

"It's human nature, go ahead..." Sun Quan's eyes were full of kindness.
