The Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms: The Evil God Arrives

Chapter 311 The Lu Family Begins
"In other words, the enemy has some unknown means of detection. Except for me and Bo Fu, no one else at the scene can sense this detection." Zhou Yu said in a low voice.

Until now, Zhou Yu still hasn't figured out how to block the Taishan Army's detection methods.

Because of the urgency of time, Zhou Yu no longer requires a solution that can permanently solve the problem of Taishan Army's reconnaissance technology. He only requires a solution that can temporarily block the beyond-visual-range detection that Taishan Army uses from time to time.

This is a generational crushing defeat on the technological level. Zhou Yu simply couldn't imagine what kind of detection methods the enemy was using because he had never seen them before.

Until now, Zhou Yu's impression of battlefield reconnaissance still remains in the field of scout reconnaissance, and he has never thought about the reconnaissance technology such as beyond-visual-range observation.

Although scout reconnaissance remained the mainstream method of battlefield reconnaissance until the era of technological explosion, the reconnaissance technology used by scouts was no longer the same.

Although Zhou Yu and Sun Ce received some military information from Yuan Shu, information is just information, and since it is already information, there is a certain information lag.

However, although there is a certain information lag in the data, it can still be used as a reference.

In the information given by Yuan Shu, Zhou Yu had seen a description of the Shesheng Camp, an archer corps that could conduct beyond-visual-range combat more than ten or twenty miles away.

Combined with the data description that the Shesheng Battalion can conduct beyond-visual-range combat, let’s take a look at the situation they are facing now.

Zhou Yu wondered whether the Taishan Army had analyzed an elite talent specifically for beyond-visual-range reconnaissance from the beyond-visual-range combat of the Shesheng Camp.

After all, the Shesheng Battalion can conduct beyond-visual-range combat, which means that the Shesheng Battalion has the ability to observe beyond visual range.

As for whether the Taishan Army can analyze the beyond-visual-range observation talent from the beyond-visual-range combat capability of the Shesheng Battalion and install it in the scout troops.

Anyway, Zhou Yu had no doubts. After all, they had already encountered this beyond-visual-range observation capability.

I just don’t know whether the beyond-visual-range observation capability used by the Taishan Army is an elite talent or something else.

If it was the effect of some elite talent, Zhou Yu would have to find a way to copy it. If it was some kind of technology, Zhou Yu would have to find a way to deal with this kind of beyond-visual-range detection.

Zhou Yu could still find a way to copy elite talents, but if it was some kind of beyond-visual-range observation technology, Zhou Yu would have no way.

"However, you don't have to worry. If you just want to block the enemy's observation, I still have a way to do it." Zhou Yu said calmly when he saw the crowd getting a little agitated.

After hearing Zhou Yu's words, Cheng Pu and others felt a little relieved. After all, Zhou Yu said that he had a way to solve this problem.

"Okay, let's leave the matter of the Lu family here. Anyway, the Han Dynasty has more than one shipyard." Zhou Yu revealed the matter of the Lu family and beyond-horizon observation.

"Next, please go back and get prepared. We may have to fight a battle with the Qingzhou fleet on the Yangtze River." Zhou Yu said to Cheng Puling Cao and others.

After the others left, Sun Ce said to Zhou Yu, "Gongjin, what is your purpose in fighting the Taishan Army on the Yangtze River?"

Under normal circumstances, Sun Ce would not use his brain, because he has Zhou Yu, the external brain, to do the thinking.

But now, Sun Ce's intuition told him that Zhou Yu not only wanted to get back his face, but must have other purposes.

"Bofu, do you think the Yangtze River is still a natural barrier?" Zhou Yu said to Sun Ce seriously.

"Which one is the strongest navy of the Han Dynasty, the Qingzhou fleet or our Jiangxia navy?" Zhou Yu asked Sun Ce again.

Now, apart from the Qingzhou fleet that was recently formed under Liu Bei, the Han Dynasty probably only has the Jiangxia navy under Sun Ce.

"This..." Sun Ce's head was buzzing and he had no idea how to answer Zhou Yu's question.

"So I want to try my hand with the Qingzhou fleet on the Yangtze River to see if the Yangtze River can serve as our natural line of defense." Zhou Yu stated his purpose.

"After Lord Yuan came back from Fenggao, he handed over the foundation to you, his adopted son, and left brother Yao in Taishan Academy. Why?" Zhou Yu asked again.

"We have been staying in the south of the Yangtze River for many years, and we know little about the changes in the strength of the northern princes." Zhou Yu shook his head and said.

Sun Ce was silent for a while, then said firmly: "Okay, Gongjin, as long as it is what you want to do, then go ahead and do it. I will always stand by your side."

"Yeah, I know." Zhou Yu's tone remained calm, without any further reaction, because this was the bond between him and Sun Ce.

-

"Zichuan, you said that we found the Lu family's hiding place so quickly. Will the Lu family have any other reaction?" Liu Bei asked Chen Xi beside him.

"Isn't what you said nonsense?" Chen Xi complained speechlessly. He didn't even need to think about it to know that the four people from the Lu family would definitely be suspicious.

"Then how should we deceive the Lu family... No, please go back to Fenggao?" Liu Bei almost stuttered.

“Don’t worry, Lord Xuande, after seeing us, the Lu family will take the initiative to go to Qingzhou with us.

After all, there is no place for the Lu family to stay in Jiangdong anymore." Chen Xi said casually.

The so-called four Jiangdong families are extremely united, but they are still scheming against each other in the interior.

When the Lu family was surrounded and the other three families did not make any movement, the apparent unity of the four families had in fact disappeared.

"Is that so?" Liu Bei still couldn't understand why the Lu family followed them back to Fenggao after meeting them.

However, since it was Chen Xi who said this, Liu Bei still believed what Chen Xi said.

"Do you need me to explain it to you?" Chen Xi asked subconsciously when he saw Liu Bei's frown.

"No need, it's enough for Zichuan to know what's going on. It's no different from me knowing it myself." Liu Bei shook his head and rejected Chen Xi's explanation.

For Liu Bei, it was enough for Chen Xi to know what was going on. It didn’t matter whether he knew it or not.

Chen Xi turned his head and looked at Liu Bei seriously, just smiled, and then continued to lead the way, taking Liu Bei to where he wanted.

"Father, why do I feel that Sun Bofu has given up searching for us?" Lu Jun said to Lu Kang, and at the same time calmly picked up a piece of fish and started eating, as if he were an ordinary small landlord.

After the four members of the Lu family and their retainers escaped from Shucheng, they moved to Liujiazhuang near Shucheng.

During this period, they did encounter soldiers searching for us, but facing the four grandparents and grandchildren of the Lu family, no one realized that they wanted to search the Lu family. "Sun Bofu and his men sent soldiers to search for us just for show. I guess they didn't even think about finding us."

"If they really wanted to find us, they wouldn't have sent only three waves of soldiers out to look for us." Lu Kang warmly greeted the neighbors who passed by their house.

"Maybe the war is intense and they can't spare more troops to search." Lu Jun guessed.

"It shouldn't be. Cao Mengde brought more than 10,000 cavalrymen. It would be difficult for Sun Bofu to win in a field battle with him." Lu Kang said in a slightly strange tone.

"Cao Mengde... It's hard to imagine that Lord Xuande would actually let him out." Lu Jun was surprised that Liu Bei would send Cao Cao over.

Moreover, the soldiers and generals led by Cao Cao were actually his former subordinates, and some of the generals were even members of Cao Cao's family.

Isn’t Liu Bei afraid that Cao Cao will take this opportunity to escape?
"So, sending Cao Mengde out is the smart move." After all, Lu Kang is seventy years old and has experienced everything. He immediately saw through why those smart people in Fenggao agreed to let Cao Cao out to fight.

"Father, what does this mean?" Lu Jun asked in confusion, and Lu Xun next to him also looked at his grandfather.

"Let me ask you, what was the basis for Liu Xuande to let Cao Mengde lead the troops to the battle?"

Lu Kang did not explain it immediately, but guided his son, or more accurately his grandson, to think step by step.

Compared to his useless son Lu Jun, Lu Kang is more optimistic about his grandson. If the Lu family is to make further progress in the future, it will definitely be due to Lu Xun.

"It's confidence." Lu Xun gave his answer without much thought.

Lu Kang first looked at his grandson with satisfaction, then looked at Lu Jun who was still thinking hard.

"Just like Xun'er said, the reason why Liu Xuande let Cao Mengde lead the troops to the battle was not only because he was confident in his own strength.

"And he has confidence in Cao Mengde himself, and is confident that Cao Mengde will not risk being cursed by the world and rebel against him," Lu Kang said slowly.

"So that's how it is." Lu Xun's eyes flashed, and he understood what his grandfather meant.

"Xun'er, tell me why this happened." Lu Kang said to Lu Xun kindly, then looked at Lu Jun expressionlessly, "By the way, explain to your father why those people in Fenggao did this."

"Uh..." Lu Jun glanced at his expressionless father, then turned to look at his son, and finally lowered his head to listen to his son's explanation.

"Lord Xuande allowed Cao Mengde to lead his troops into battle again because of his trustworthiness.

Therefore, if Cao Mengde takes advantage of this opportunity when there is no one to supervise him and rebels against Lord Xuande, he will be laughed at by the world." Lu Xun said.

"Being ridiculed by the world is not a big deal, but if Cao Mengde fails Liu Xuande's trust in him, it will not be as simple as being ridiculed." Lu Guo took over Lu Xun's words.

Trustworthiness and integrity have been highly respected by people since ancient times. A man without trustworthiness cannot stand. If you have no trustworthiness and integrity, how can people be willing to believe in you?

Although Cao Cao's character and integrity are questionable, having served under Liu Bei for so long, could he really not recognize the gap in strength between himself and Liu Bei?

With Cao Cao's ability and wisdom, he could certainly see it clearly. As for what to do, that was Cao Cao's own business. Anyway, the opportunity had been given to him.

"If Cao Mengde really betrays Liu Xuande's trust, in the future no one except his own family... maybe even his own family members will not trust him." Lu Kang sighed.

In fact, in addition to the issue of trust and loyalty, the reason why Chen Xi and others agreed to let Cao Cao lead the troops again was also an issue of strength.

If Liu Bei couldn't even defeat a general he had once been defeated, what was the point of supporting the Han Dynasty?

As a strong person, you should have such awareness that an enemy that has been defeated will fail again next time.

"Master, there is a group of soldiers outside heading towards the farm." A family guard ran over to report to Lu Kang.

"Is it the people over there?" Lu Kang frowned and asked. Could it be the people from Sun Ce's army again? But didn't Sun Ce's army just leave not long ago? Why are there another wave?
"The armor they wear is similar in style to that of the cavalrymen," the family general replied.

Lu Kang frowned and said, "How did the Taishan Army get here?"

Lu Jun thought for a moment and said, "Father, I have seen the Taishan Army. How about I go and take a look?"

"That's not a good idea. What if it's Sun Ce's army pretending to be us? Then we'll be exposed." Lu Kang shook his head and rejected Lu Jun's idea.

"Don't worry, if it's really the Taishan Army, they will come to us on their own initiative." Lu Kang sighed secretly and said.

Unexpectedly, the first to hear the noise were not the Gu, Zhu, and Zhang families, who are also one of the Four Families of Jiangdong, but the Taishan Army.

It seems that the friendship between the four Jiangdong families has come to an end, and it is time for the Lu family to find a new home.

"Hey, Ji Cai, long time no see, would you like to come in?" Chen Xi saw four people sitting in the yard and found that he only knew Lu Jun.

Lu Jun looked at the person who called him with some confusion, "Lord Chen!?" Then Lu Jun noticed the person next to Chen Xi, "Lord Xuande!?"

Lu Jun rubbed his eyes in disbelief, looked at Chen Xi and Liu Bei, and found that he was not seeing things.

Lu Jun was dumbfounded. Damn it, could it be that he was still asleep? Otherwise, how could he see Chen Xi and Liu Bei appear in front of him?
"Greetings to General Zhendong and Governor Chen." Lu Kang was stunned for a moment after hearing Lu Jun's voice, but he was Lu Kang after all, so he reacted quickly.

"Greetings, Governor Lu." Liu Bei and Chen Xi bowed to Lu Kang. After all, he was a seventy-year-old man.

"I think Governor Lu will agree to move to Donglai this time." Chen Xi asked Lu Kang straight to the point.

As for Lu Jun, who had met him and Liu Bei, he is still in a daze, so let the head of the Lu family decide.

"Since General Zhendong and Governor Chen have personally invited me, there is no reason for Lu Kang not to go." Lu Kang said with a wry smile.

Both Chen Xi and Liu Bei came to invite him personally, does he have any other choice?

Not to mention that he had originally planned to settle down in Donglai, Qingzhou. He stayed in Liujiazhuang just to recuperate and see if the Gu, Zhu and Zhang families would come.

Now that there is a better place to go, of course it will be to follow Liu Bei and Chen Xi to Qingzhou.
