My Ji Han Dynasty was prosperous in martial arts, but I have always convinced people with virtue

Chapter 22 Shuzi is Shuzi after all

Jiangxia City, Habayashi Pavilion.

In the newly built Nancheng Fortress, Liu Chan held a reception ceremony for Sun Shangxiang who returned in triumph.

Five thousand elite soldiers in heavy armor and three arrows hanging from their waists stood on the school field with a murderous aura.

Sun Shangxiang was standing beside Liu Chan with a hundred female guards, introducing the team he brought out with a proud face.

In two times of experience in the secret realm, Sun Shangxiang not only led the original [-] miscellaneous elites to be promoted to heavy armor, but she also obtained the golden attribute of a sharpshooter.

In addition to improving Sun Shangxiang's shooting skills, this attribute can also improve the training level and morale of the soldiers in ordinary training.

Jiangxia City has almost been built, and the basic defense system has also been completed.

In Liu Chan's vision, 1 troops will be stationed in Jiangxia City in the future.

Among them, the [-] Jingzhoulou sailors hired by the Chinese are the core of the defense.

To control a city like Jiangxia City, it is impossible without a powerful navy.

Without this naval army, the enemy could divide and encircle, cut off the waterways, and isolate Jiangxia City from north to south, thereby paralyzing the city's defenses.

There are still 6000 people who will be arranged in the Habayashi Pavilion in the North City and the South City. As long as these two places are not destroyed, the city will be safe.

When entering Sichuan in the future, Liu Chan will take away more than 1000 riders from Lu Lingqi, the two Xiliang righteous men from Ma Xiu and Ma Tie, and the [-] heavy armor.

In Shuzhong, there is a double secret realm for upgrading heavy armor soldiers to elite feather forests, and in Hanzhong, there is a secret realm for upgrading cavalry soldiers to silver rank.

If Liu Chan wants to strengthen his strength, he must go to these two places.

Before that, Liu Chan still has a problem to solve.

After the reception ceremony, Liu Chan asked Sun Shangxiang.

"Mom, do you know Lu Xun?"

Sun Shangxiang shook her head.

Lu Xun rarely appeared in Wudu, and Sun Shangxiang didn't have much impression of him.

In my memory, Sun Shangxiang had a good impression of this gentle and refined scholar during the few occasional meetings.

"I haven't seen each other much, what's the matter?"

"He is the guard of Xiling now, and he has five thousand floor boatmen under his command."

After Sun Shangxiang heard about it, she was a little puzzled.

"Why did my brother give Lu Xun so many elite troops?"

In Sun Shangxiang's view, the one who can lead such an army should be a veteran general of the Eastern Wu generals, not an unknown person like Lu Xun.

Looking at Sun Shangxiang's appearance, Liu Chan already had an idea in his mind.
-
Xiling.

The night wind blew past, Lu Xun stood on the city gate, looking at the scenery on the river.

Nearly [-] years old, he is still only the governor of a county at this time.

Recently, Lu Xun felt that he was taken seriously.

Marquis Wu not only sealed Lu's family, but also secretly sent him two thousand elites and twenty warships.

But all this is not because of Lu Xun himself, but because of others.

With Soochow losing Xiakou, Xiling, which was originally in a remote area, suddenly became a strategic location.

This is the first line of defense, and also the forward base for counterattacking Jiangxia City in the future.

At this time, the whole state of Wu attached great importance to Xiling, and a large amount of reinforcements were sent here.

Lu Xun was not proud of it.

From the mouths of many merchants on the Yangtze River, we can know that after Liu Beijun got Xiakou, he built a strategic city in this water and land hub where the east and west flow.

Everyone in the world thinks that Liu Chan's sitting in Zhenjiang Xia City is only symbolic.

Wenpin and Ma Liang are really in charge.

But Lu Xun didn't see it that way.

Wenpin and Ma Liang, one Wu and one Wen, complement each other.

However, they finally listened to Liu Chan.

The development plan of this city comes from Liu Chan's intention.

For Soochow, it may not be a good thing.

Liu Chan is very cautious about Soochow.

Lu Xun also felt that Liu Chan's ambition would not only be satisfied with Xiakou.

In order to obtain sufficient strategic buffer, Liu Chan may have set his sights on Xiling or even E County.

These lands that originally belonged to Jiangxia County were lost to Soochow in the later period of Liu Biao's administration, following Huang Zu's defeat in battle.

This Mr. Liu Chan may want to come back.

Facing the aggressive Liu Chan, Lu Xun was not in a hurry.

He knew very well that Liu Beijun's aggression in front of him was just a superficial appearance.

Their goal is Yizhou.

After all, there will be a moment of emptiness in Jingzhou.

Liu Chan wants to take back the land in the eastern part of Jiangxia County, at least not at this moment.

As soon as Lu Xun's thoughts came to him, he was startled by a loud noise, and flames suddenly appeared on the distant river.

Enemy attack!

Lu Xun's brain exploded.

how come? ——
In the 17th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao took advantage of the high morale of Cao's army after he had just defeated Ma Chao, so he issued an order to conquer Sun Quan.

In the seven states of the Central Plains, armies from all walks of life began to gather and headed towards Hefei.

Sun Quan also organized his army to prepare for war in Jingkou, and set up a series of docks in Ruxukou as a military defense belt.

Sun Quan was under a lot of pressure.

After all, after Zhou Yu's death, he faced a war that could destroy the country alone.

He couldn't bear the price of failure.

But at this moment, Sun Quan got a piece of news.

Unable to restrain himself, Liu Chan dispatched an army to attack Xiling at night.

As a result, Lu Xun quickly dealt with the army's attack, captured the main general alive, and killed the deputy general.

This is the good news Sun Quan has heard for so long.

For a moment, Sun Quan's inner depression was relieved.

"That Zhuzi thinks who Gu is, and who is Lu Xun? Are you still trying to reproduce Xiakou's incident?"

Lu Su was on the side, smiling all over his face.

"My lord, I heard that these soldiers and horses are all old men who followed Liu Bei in the South and North Wars. Now, they are all buried by Liu Chan. That is, Liu Bei is in Yizhou at this time, otherwise Liu Chan will suffer a lot."

Sun Quan nodded.

"Zhuzi is a Zhuzi after all. Although he has little wisdom, he doesn't have great wisdom. He can only get away with it for a while. Take the captives in our hands and go to Jiangxia City to negotiate with Liu Chan."

"What does my lord want?"

Lu Su knew that Liu Beifang in Jiangxia City would not give it, so the rest was nothing more than money, food and war preparations.

"Now that the war is tense, tell Jiang Xia that if they want to return the prisoners, they will first support fifty warships and [-] shi of food."

"My lord, who is better to let go?"

Sun Quan thought about it.

"Bu Zhi is in Jiangxia City now, let him go."

Just as Lu Su was about to leave, Sun Quan stopped him and asked again.

"Who is the general who commands this army?"

Lu Su turned around, he had already memorized the frontline military situation, and then replied.

"Master Mi Fang, Deputy General Fu Shiren. I heard that Liu Chan valued these two people very much, and specially transferred them from Jiangling to Jiangxia."

Sun Quan smacked his mouth, always feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.

Finally, an order was given.

"Tell Bu Zhi, this matter must be done well, and I don't want to see Jiaozhou again."
