Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 872

"Father, thanks to you, I have fresh fish to eat tonight." Master Sima put the fish into the bucket and congratulated Sun Quan with a smile.

Sun Quan nodded gratifiedly: "Marquis Wen is filial, now the sky is getting dark, so let's take a rest earlier."

"That's exactly what I mean." Master Sima said and went to pack his fishing rods.

Sun Quan turned around and returned to the cabin, thinking that he should cheer up, Sima Shi's family has not given up yet, and he has not completely lost yet.

The Sun family has been operating in Jiangdong for more than [-] years, and it is impossible to be overthrown by Lantian so quickly. I have to correct my mentality like this child, and Sun Quan then walked up the steps with steady steps.

After waiting in Jiangcheng for two days, Sun Quan was the first to receive the news from Sun Shao, the guard of Dantu.

After Sun Quan established his capital, most of the gentry and dignitaries in Jiangdong moved away. There were many descendants of the clan in Wujun and Kuaiji. Among them, the lineage of his uncle Sun Jing was the main one. Sun Ce's descendants were placed under Jianye's eyes.

On the evening of the third day, Jiang came with hundreds of warships from the west, and Hu Zong told Sun Quan that Lu Xun had brought people here.

Ruxuwu was farther away from Jiangcheng than Dantu. Sun Quan was surprised to see that Lu Xun arrived first, so he got off the boat and went to the pier to greet him.

"Bo Yan came so fast, I didn't expect it to turn out like this. I regret that I didn't listen to your advice at the time. It should be more prudent to send troops to attack Lantian. Now the situation is critical, and the governor must do his best to turn the tide." Sun Quan was a little embarrassed when he saw Lu Xun.

Lu Xun clasped his fists in salute, with a trace of helplessness on his face, he said in his heart that if he could listen to half of his honest words, he would not end up in such a situation.

"General Wei has already told you about the situation. I think this is all Lan Tian's trap, but the matter has come to an end and we can only try our best to recover."

"I can only rely on the governor, how many soldiers Bo Yan brought back?" Sun Quan held Lu Xun's hand and walked back, making others look very close.

"There are only 5000 defenders in Ruxuwu, and the minister left [-] bluffing, and the rest of the warships and soldiers are brought." Lu Xun replied truthfully.

Sun Quan suddenly stopped in his tracks, thinking that Lu Xun's motives were wrong, and asked with a frown, "Jiangdong is at a time of life and death, why does the governor still want to stay in the Huai River? Everyone should be brought here."

Lu Xun explained: "Since ancient times, we must defend the Huaihe River to defend the river. If we completely abandon Ruxu Shuikou, even if we take back Jianye, Cao's army will be unstoppable when they go south. Let alone [-] sailors left to guard Ruxu, it will not affect our attack on the city. "

"Because of the fall of Jianye, Ruxuwu lost its source of supplies. The rice in Xiang'an and other places that Cao Pi negotiated and surrendered should not be ripe yet. The governor left them behind. Where can the food for the defenders be found?" Sun Quan scorned to ask back.

Lu Xun pointed at Wei Wen and smiled slightly: "When I left, I asked the soldiers left behind to save money. The food in Ruxuwu can last at least a month. General Wei was there at the time."

"Uh, that's right." Wei Wen was called out by Lu Xun and had no choice but to stand up and testify.

"Very good." Sun Quanqiang expressed his affirmation with a smile on his face, saying to himself that you left all the food in Ruxuwu, and you just brought your mouth with these [-] soldiers?
Soochow was worried that they would not be able to defend the Huai River, so they strengthened Jianye's city defense several times. At this time, going to attack would be tantamount to self-defense, so Lu Xun put forward his own idea.

"Your Majesty, Jianye City is rich in materials and easy to defend but difficult to attack. If Zhang Zibu resists in a corner, it will be extremely disadvantageous to me. Even if we can finally attack and regain the city, the price paid may be immeasurable, and if Liu Bei does not agree And, isn't all this useless work?" Lu Xun asked himself.

"What suggestion does the governor have?" Sun Quan rolled his eyes.

"I think there must be a reason for Zhang Zibu's sudden rebellion. I want to go to Jianye personally to persuade him to return from his lost path. I don't know my lord."

Lu Xun was interrupted by Sun Quan before he finished speaking, "Don't waste your energy, Governor, that old thief is now as hard as a stone, and he and everyone personally persuaded him, but the result is hum."

"Uh, I'm just..." Lu Xun wanted to continue to fight, but saw Sun Quan's face was ugly, so he didn't continue.

Seeing this, Hu Zong clenched his fists and added: "Your Majesty is right. That Zhang Zibu is brazen and ungrateful. The governor should prepare well. It will be useful for us to use force to fight for it."

"Okay, just use force." Lu Xun shook his head lightly.

Sun Quan would not let Lu Xun go back. If he brought his trilogy back to Jianye, he might have no hope of getting back to the capital. The scene by the river became silent and embarrassing for a while.

The Sima division on the side suddenly spoke up: "In fact, it may not be necessary to use force, so there is no need to worry about compromising the existing troops. As long as we gather enough soldiers and horses, we may be able to defeat others without fighting."

"The son-in-law has such insights? It's really gratifying." Lu Xun nodded unexpectedly.

Sima Shi clasped his fists and saluted: "The governor Miao Zan, I have been with my adoptive father for a long time, and I just got some infection."

"Marquis Wen himself is very thoughtful, and the governor is the wisest man in Jiangdong, so I will ask him more in the future." Master Sima made Sun Quan elated, and Sun Quan deliberately said that Lu Xun was the smartest, but he didn't have any good intentions.

Since ancient times, literature has no first place and martial arts has no second, Sun Quan suddenly pushed Lu Xun to the forefront, and he didn't know how many people would be hostile, so Lu Xun hurriedly waved his hands and said modestly: "Your Majesty is too famous, I am just an ordinary scholar in Jiangdong, or a son-in-law. Calm and intelligent, we can communicate more in the future.”

Sima Shi chose to respond with humility and humility, using Sun Quan's rhetoric to praise Lu Xun high, so that the other party could not stand down in the flattery.

Seeing Lu Xun's embarrassment, Sun Quan secretly thought that it is true that you are not as good as you alone in commanding troops and fighting alone, but you, Lu Boyan, are still far behind in terms of political tactics and controlling people's hearts.

After the exchange of greetings at the pier, Lu Xun set up camp by the river. Grain and grass from Jiangcheng County continued to arrive, supporting the [-]-odd troops who arrived temporarily.

When it was almost dark, Sun Shao led dozens of warships to join him. He brought four thousand songs from Dantu Water Village. In a short time, Jiangcheng gathered 4000 people. Sun Quan saw this situation. He was very satisfied, except for the county magistrate Jiang Cheng who was following him, wiping the sweat from his forehead from time to time. He was worried that the number of soldiers would continue to increase, and the county treasury would soon be exhausted.

The county magistrate Jiang Cheng's worries were soon relieved, and just after the fourth day of September, Lu Xun rushed to find Sun Quan.

"The patrol boats in the Ruxu waters are urgently reporting that thousands of warships are sailing eastward, heading towards Jianye. They are expected to arrive in Jianye waters this afternoon. Your Majesty, Lantian didn't give us any time, nor did Zhuge Ziyu." Lu Xun gasped heavily.

Sun Quan turned pale with fright, and his words were flustered: "How could Lantian be so fast? Lu Ziheng lost a hundred thousand soldiers? What should we do?"

"If the Lantian army is allowed to enter Jianye, our family members in the city will completely fall into the enemy's hands. All efforts now will be in vain. The most urgent thing is to board the ship and go west. We must defeat the enemy in Jianye waters, otherwise Jiangdong will never have peace." Lu Xun frowned. Frown.

"However, reinforcements from Wu Jun and Kuaiji have not yet arrived, and Jiang Cheng now only has more than 2 soldiers, and the [-] warships clearly outnumber them." Sun Quan was completely panicked at this time.

Lu Xun said in a deep voice: "It's too late to wait for the reinforcements to arrive. The main reason is that Lantian didn't give us time. However, Gan Ning's navy is not many. We have an advantage in water warfare, and maybe we can stop it."

"Okay, according to the arrangement of the governor, immediately send troops to build a business." Sun Quan finally made a final decision.
