Mi Han

Chapter 163
Summoned by Sun Quan, Lu Xun, who was appointed by Sun Quan to be responsible for the defense of Yong'an, came to the county mansion in military uniform soon after.

After Lu Xun arrived, he immediately bowed to Sun Quan, and said in his mouth: "I pay homage to the Supreme."

Seeing Lu Xun coming, Sun Quan, who was still in shock, felt a sense of stability in his heart.

That night, it was under Lu Xun's protection that he escaped unharmed.

Without Lu Xun, there would be no him today.

After he escaped from the police on a raft with Lu Xun, he originally wanted to return to Jianye immediately.

But Lu Xun suggested that he not go back to Jianye, but go north to Jiangxia County.

Lu Xun made this suggestion because he was worried that Mi Yang would take advantage of the big victory to attack Jiang Xia.

Jiangxia is the hub of the two prefectures of Jing and Yang. If Jiangxia is lost, Jiangdong's door will be wide open from now on, which will be extremely unfavorable to Jiangdong.

Although Sun Quan caused Jiangdong to suffer major defeats several times, he has been in charge of Jiangdong for nearly 20 years, and he is still very prestigious in Jiangdong.

With Sun Quan in Jiangxia, it is enough to initially stabilize Jiangxia's hearts.

And compared to Jianye, Jiangxia County is closer to the police.

When the news of Sun Quan's presence in Jiangxia gradually spread, those Wu troops who had fled during the First World War under the leadership of their respective generals would naturally return to Jiangxia County to join Sun Quan.

The subsequent development of the situation was as expected by Lu Xun.

After Sun Quan came to Jiangxia, although Wu Jun in Jiangxia heard the news of his own police's defeat, it caused a huge riot.

But because Sun Quan was here, these huge riots did not lead to mutiny or large-scale flight of soldiers and officials.

Moreover, during this period of time, as Lu Xun spread the news of Sun Quan, the soldiers and generals of the Wu army who had been scattered around the police all tried their best to come to Yong'an City to join Sun Quan.

Among them, Quan Cong and Zhu Huan had the most troops.

Although Jiangdong's private army system has many disadvantages, one advantage is obvious.

That is, as long as the leader of the first army does not die, then the private soldiers under his command, as long as they are not captured, even if they escape in all directions, they will try their best to join their leader in the end.

For Wu Jun, their chief general is not only their boss, but also their parents.

After many days of recruiting deserters, the Wu army in Yong'an City, not counting the original defenders, already numbered nearly [-].

Moreover, Lu Xun also suggested that Sun Quan dispatch some of the soldiers originally arranged by Lu Meng to guard Lujiang to guard Yong'an City.

After successively strengthening the troops in Yong'an City, the current strength in the city is close to [-].

It's just that most of the soldiers in Yong'an City were demoralized because of the public security battle.

In this case, Sun Quan worshiped Lu Xun as the right guard, the general of Zhenxi, and named Huating Marquis because of Lu Xun's merits in escorting him, and took charge of the defense of Yong'an City instead of him.

With Lu Xun in charge of military affairs and preparing the city defenses, Wu Jun's morale is gradually stabilizing.

All these positive developments fell into Sun Quan's eyes, so he attached more and more importance to Lu Xun.

If he had insisted on fleeing back to Jianye, then Jiang Xia might not be safe now.

Sun Quan quickly got up and came to Lu Xun, helped him up, and said with a gentle smile, "Bo Yan has been working hard lately."

Lu Xun, who heard Sun Quan's words, showed no pride on his face. He calmly replied to Sun Quan: "Sharing the worries for the Supreme, there is no such thing as hard work."

Sun Quan then asked Lu Xun about an incident that had been circulating in the world recently.

"Now the two armies of Han and Wei are exchanging population in Hanshui, and there seems to be an agreement for a truce."

"If Liu Bei waits for King Wei to retreat and raises a large army to attack Jiangxia, how should our army respond?"

Faced with Sun Quan's worry, Lu Xun had a thoughtful look on his face.

After thinking about it, Lu Xun replied to Sun Quan: "Liu Bei claims to be the king of Han, but Cao Cao is a traitor."

"Since the day Liu Bei raised his army, he used the title of helping the Han Dynasty and punishing Cao thieves, and Cao Cao also regarded Liu Bei as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh."

"The two are in the same situation."

"Today, the two of you have proposed a truce. It's not because they want to unite, but because of the situation."

"The two armies of Han and Wei faced each other on both sides of the Han River for several months, and this is bound to not last long."

"Since last year, Liu Bei and Cao Cao have fought repeatedly, and food and manpower have been greatly depleted.

If they continue to confront each other on the Han River, the national power of Han and Wei will be greatly damaged. "

"This year's spring plowing is approaching. For this year's grain harvest, if the two families can't win quickly, they have no choice but to stop fighting."

"And even if the two families stop fighting, Liu Bei will not take it lightly with Cao Cao's deceitfulness, and will definitely send heavy troops to guard the south bank of the Han River."

"The Jingzhou Navy will definitely not withdraw from the front line of the Han River."

"The city of Yong'an is strong and built on the water. Liu Bei lacks a navy, so it is not easy to attack the city."

"Since Supreme came to Yong'an City, although people in Jiangxia County fluctuated at the beginning, they gradually stabilized after all."

"Furthermore, there are quite a lot of troops in Yong'an City, and there are strong enemies like Cao Cao in the north.

Liu Bei lacks food and grass, and if he sends few troops, Yong'an will not be easy to fall. If he sends more troops, the Hanshui defense line will be empty, so Liu Bei will not rashly send troops to the east. "

I don't know how many times Sun Quan has asked Lu Xun similar questions recently.

Before Sun Quan asked whether Mi Yang would attack Jiangxia in order to expand the results of the war, after Liu Bei arrived, Sun Quan asked Liu Bei if he would.

After hearing what Lu Xun said, Sun Quan, who had just had a nightmare, felt more at ease.

Sun Quan looked at this niece and son-in-law who he didn't pay much attention to before, and he felt more and more that Lu Xun was a rare talent.

Not only is he calm and calm, but he also has a very unique insight into the current situation.

With this virtuous minister, Jiangdong will never perish!

After Sun Quan listened to Lu Xun's analysis, he ordered Lu Xun to sit down, and then he also sat down on the chief seat, and continued to discuss the current situation with Lu Xun.

Just when Sun Quan and Lu Xun were confronting each other, soldiers from outside the mansion came to report that Yu Fan had returned.

Hearing this news, Sun Quan turned pale with shock, and blurted out: "Hey! I'm blinded to death!"

When the police were defeated, the seriously ill Lu Meng was guarded by Yu Fan and lay in his big tent.

The battle was critical that night, Sun Quan fled before he could take Lv Meng with him, and after Lu Xun recruited scattered soldiers, Lv Meng and Yu Fan did not return to Jiangxia City.

It can be seen that both Lu Meng and Yu Fan were probably captured by Mi Yang.

Later, Jiangdong's spies detected the news that Mi Yang went north to receive the reward.

The spies also found out that Lu Meng and Yu Fan had been escorted by Mi Yang to Jiangling to offer confirmation to Liu Bei.

Today, Lu Meng did not come back, but only Yu Fan was released by Liu Bei, which may mean that Lu Meng was already dead.

Sun Quan hurriedly ordered someone to summon Yu Fan to come in. Not long after, Yu Fan came to the hall with a sad look on his face, holding a wooden box, and knelt down in front of Sun Quan.

Seeing the wooden box in Yu Fan's hand, Sun Quan stood up unconsciously.

Yu Fan, who was kneeling on the ground, raised the wooden box in his hands, and said to Sun Quan, "I have brought the governor back!"

After Yu Fan finished speaking, he was already sobbing.

Yu Fan cried not only for Lu Meng's death, but also for his own future.

Since Sun Quan took power in Jiangdong, his official career has been bumpy and he was relegated by Sun Quan several times. Finally, Lu Meng didn't care about his character and was willing to promote him.

But now that Lu Meng has died in Jiangling, what will happen to Yu Fan in Jiangdong in the future?
After Sun Quan listened to Yu Fan's words, great grief appeared on his face.

Although he blamed Lu Meng for his defeat before.

But after all, Lu Meng is a direct descendant who was single-handedly cultivated by him, and he is also the current pillar of Jiangdong Huaisi generals.

Although Sun Quan had already prepared in his heart that Lu Meng was seriously ill and would never recover, when he really learned the news of Lu Meng's death, he was still very heartbroken.

Sun Quan staggered up to Yu Fan, and then he stretched out his trembling hand to open the wooden box in Yu Fan's hand.

After opening the wooden box, Sun Quan saw a face he was all too familiar with.

The incense ash covering the bottom made Lv Meng's head pale, but at this moment, his eyes were wide open on Lv Meng's head, as if he was enduring great unwillingness and anger before he died.

Seeing this scene, Sun Quan couldn't bear to close the lid of the wooden box, and he couldn't help taking a few steps back.

Then he asked Yu Fan in a sad and angry tone, "Where is Ziming's body?"

"Why don't you bring them back together!"

Death is a very scary thing.

But it is unacceptable for the people of the world to be decapitated and have nowhere to rest the soul after death.

Facing Sun Quan's angry question, Yu Fan kowtowed and replied, "It's the Mi Thief. After the Mi Thief fell ill and died of vomiting blood in the governor of the capital, he suggested that Liu Bei leave Lu Meng in Jingzhou and return to Jiangdong for the first time."

Hearing that Yu Fan said that it was Mi Yang who suggested Liu Bei to do this, Sun Quan's anger froze immediately.

The fear and fear of Mi Yang began to linger in his heart slowly again.

How much does Mi Yang hate Lu Meng, to treat him like this?

His head was in a different place and he couldn't sleep forever.

But what Sun Quan didn't know was that the reason why Mi Yang suggested Liu Bei to do this was because Sun Quan had treated Guan Yu like this in history.

A great hero, after being attacked to death by his allies, ended up with an extremely sad and tragic end with his head in the north and his body in the south.

Until Liu Bei died, he had no chance to see his second brother's body.

He couldn't even express his thoughts in front of his second brother's grave.

How could this kind of grief be comprehensible to ordinary people.

Since Sun Quan wanted to break his promise and Lu Meng wanted to rely on deceit to seize Jingzhou, then Mi Yang retaliated with retaliation, repaying him in his own way.

Sun Quan looked at the wooden box in Yu Fan's hand, and he couldn't bear to open it again.

He suppressed the grief in his heart and ordered people to go to build a body for Lu Meng with fragrant wood.

After Lv Meng's fragrant wood body was built, Sun Quan would order someone to sew Lv Meng's head on the fragrant wood body, and transport it back to Jianye for burial.

After giving this order, Sun Quan asked Yu Fan, "What happened after that night!"

From Yu Fan's words just now, we can know that Lu Meng was separated by Liu Bei's corpse after his death, so Sun Quan wanted to know the ins and outs of everything that happened after that night.

Facing Sun Quan's question, Yu Fan wept and replied: "After that night, I wanted to protect the governor and escape, but before I could leave the tent with the governor, I was searched in my barracks Captured by the Han army in the tent."

"Since that night, the governor has been unconscious."

"Later, Mi Thief was summoned by Liu Bei to go to Jiangling to receive a reward, so he escorted me, the governor and a group of captives to the north."

"On the day he arrived in Jiangling, the governor woke up from a coma."

"After the governor woke up, he found that he had become a prisoner of Mi Yang, and our army suffered a great defeat. He was suddenly overwhelmed with anger, and died of vomiting blood in Jiangling City."

"Before he died, the chief governor pulled the curtain with his hands and kept shouting: How sad! How sad!"

After Yu Fan finished speaking, Sun Quan unconsciously covered his chest. His Jiangdong governor was actually pissed to death.

It's ridiculous, it's terribly sad.

No wonder Lu Meng had his eyes wide open before he died.

At this time, Lu Xun hurried forward to support Sun Quan, who was already a little bit tottering.

After hearing Lu Meng's tragic death, his face was also full of grief, but he knew that this was not the time to just focus on sadness.

Lu Xun asked Yu Fan, "In addition to asking you to bring back the head of the governor, what other message did Liu Bei ask you to pass?"

Hearing Lu Xun's question, Sun Quan reacted.

That's right, since Liu Bei was willing to let Yu Fan back, he definitely didn't just ask him to bring Lu Meng's head back to Wu, he must have other intentions.

Under Lu Xun's questioning, Sun Quan looked at Yu Fan, and at this time Yu Fan took out a letter written by Liu Bei to Sun Quan from his bosom.

Sun Quan quickly took the letter and read it. There was only a short sentence in the letter.

"The northern army is about to retreat. I want to bring Yang and the general to hunt Jiangxia. Does the general think it is possible?"

Sun Quan looked at the big characters written by Liu Bei, "The general said he could but not", and fear appeared on his face instantly.

Liu Bei asked him if he could do it now?

Sun Quan immediately showed Liu Bei's letter to Lu Xun, and then he asked Lu Xun, "Now Liu Bei wants to go east, what should I do?"

Sun Quan's face was full of anxiety.

But after Lu Xun read Liu Bei's letter, his face was not as flustered as Sun Quan's.

He thought that his analysis just now was correct.

Besides, if Liu Bei really wanted to enter Jiangxia, why bother to write a letter to remind him?

After quick thinking, Lu Xun said to Sun Quan: "Liu Bei should be writing this letter to test Zhizun, and Zhizun must not mess with himself."

Lu Xun's relief did not calm Sun Quan down completely.

He paced around the hall with his hands behind his back, thinking about what to do next.

According to Lu Xun's analysis, even if Liu Bei led an army to attack Jiangxia at this time, according to the current situation, Liu Bei would not be able to defeat Jiangxia easily.

Sun Quan agrees with Lu Xun's analysis.

But the threat in Liu Bei's words made him unable to ignore it.

Seeing Sun Quan's helpless look, Lu Xun finally suggested: "If the Supreme Being is worried that Liu Bei will send troops to attack Jiangxia, it is better to send an envoy to Jingzhou to test Liu Bei's words."

After hearing what Lu Xun said, Sun Quan's eyes lit up, and finally he agreed to Lu Xun's request.

　In fact, the battle of public security in this book is like the battle of Yiling in Jihan in history.
