late han empire

Lu Xun actually didn't want to come back, after all, Sun Quan's family had an enmity with their Lu family.

When Sun Ce attacked Lujiang, Lu Kang, the prefect of Lujiang at that time, refused to surrender, and Sun Ce killed him directly.From that time on, the Lu family began to decline in Jiangdong, and Lu Kang's second son was Lu Ji, and the eldest son was Lu Xun's father.

Let's not talk about the fact that Lu Xun, who is a nephew, is four years older than Lu Ji, who is an uncle.Just talking about the current Lu family, in fact, to a large extent, they can only rely on him and Lu Ji to support the stage.

Lu Ji is not an enterprising person, his personality tends to be peaceful and upright.Therefore, if I don't work hard, among the four major families in Jiangdong, the Lu family may decline, or even disappear.

It is said that the homeland is hard to leave, even if the Lu family did not live in Jiangdong, they still have a lot of ancestral property, not to mention that the ancestral graves and ancestral houses are here.As a child of the Lu family, it is naturally not easy to abandon these things and go to another place to serve as an official.Therefore, Lu Xun may have thought of joining Liu Ming, but for the sake of the Lu family's property in Jiangdong, he still had to give up the scientific research and return here.

In the first scientific examination, Lu Xun passed No.3 in the second list.Originally in the north, there was a bright future waiting for him, but he gave up these and returned to Jiangdong.After Sun Quan learned of this, he immediately visited in person and took the initiative to recruit. Lu Xun felt Sun Quan's sincerity, so he became an official under his command.

As for the enmity between the Sun family and the Lu family, Lu Xun could only comfort himself: the root of all evil is Sun Ce alone.Now that Sun Ce is dead, Sun Quan and the Sun family behind him are innocent.When is it time to repay the injustice? Is it true that because of hatred, I stubbornly refused to become an official and let the Lu family go down like this?

This is his first time leading troops, or leading troops on a large scale.Earlier, in order to practice his hands, he had been dedicated to suppressing bandits for a while.Those Shanyue people came back to fight for territory with Sun Quan after the Yue Kingdom perished, so Sun Quan spent a lot of effort to eliminate them.

These days, racial discrimination is not exclusive to Liu Ming alone.It's not xenophobic, it's just their own sense of superiority that makes even the poorest common people look down on nobles of other races.

Lu Xun had some experience in dealing with these remnants of Yue people, but when the target became Liu Mingjun who had become famous for a long time, not to mention Lu Xun himself, many other civil servants and military generals also doubted this young man's ability.

No matter how good his test scores are, it's useless. In this kind of war like betting on national luck, there is no room for mistakes.No one can afford that responsibility, so everyone likes to be on the safe side, and it is best not to take risks.

If Zhou Yu can, he himself wants to come back to lead the army.It's just that he is currently in charge of attacking the Huainan area, so even if he wants to come back, he won't be able to come back for the time being.And he made more trouble there, which is actually the biggest help here.

"Your old assistant, He Qi, will accompany you to wipe out those Liu Ming troops. I haven't completely dismissed Lu Su from his position. He will bring some troops to contain a group, and reduce some of the pressure for you. I believe, and I hope you don't let him I am disappointed!" When Lu Xun was entrusted with an important task, Sun Quan said to him seriously.

"Here!" Lu Xun had nothing to say, he wanted to repay Sun Quan's trust in him with practical actions.

So, he brought his troops to the front line and took over the command from Lu Su.As for the old man Lu Su, Lu Xun naturally couldn't command him. In fact, according to Sun Quan's intention, he was not under his command.

It's just that the original 3 soldiers who wiped out the enemy's army suddenly decreased to more than 1. Even if there were [-] veterans joining, the difficulty of asking for advice would not increase by a single bit.

There is obviously no way to attack by force. Lu Xun has understood that there is an obvious gap in strength between the two sides. The only result of a strong attack is to exchange lives for lives. Lu Xun will not use this kind of victory method that is not worth the candle.

In this way, it can only be outsmarted...

On the other hand, Ma Chao and others, who had already broken out of the ambush circle, had begun their guerrilla warfare on Sun Quan's territory according to the predetermined plan.And not long ago, they got a supply from the fleet along the Yangtze River. The grenades were replenished, and they also took a lot of dry food.

Following that, there was news of Sun Quan's change of general, and at the same time, he also learned that the new general was No. 3 in the second list of this scientific examination, and he was a rare talent.But since he can be in command, I'm afraid he is also the type with both civil and military skills.

It's a pity that such a talent cannot become a colleague.

Ma Chao sighed with emotion, and then continued their work.The more they made trouble here, they were so fierce that the aristocratic family was frightened, and they made a partnership to force Sun Quan to compromise and seek peace.No matter how bad it is, it is not bad to destroy the traffic, public security and economy under Sun Quan's rule.

In war, what is fought is national power. If one does not have the ability to continue fighting, then this side can only declare defeat.After all, you have no money to buy equipment, no money to recruit troops, no money to buy food and pay the army, how are you going to fight?

On this day, Ma Chao conquered another village.In this village, they captured more than 20 young village women.Compared with the women in the Central Plains, the village women here are naturally much shorter, and their skin is rougher and duller.

But what is certain is that none of the more than 20 village women are over 30 years old.Well, it seems that it is not completely unacceptable.More importantly, after running for so long, under the psychological pressure that the enemy would appear anywhere, many soldiers needed to vent.

Therefore, Ma Chao can be regarded as not seeing anything, and soldiers who need to vent will be dealt with in a special room.It's just that once the scouts find the enemy, everything must end, and the soldiers must return to the team as soon as possible.

Taking advantage of this gap, Ma Chao sat on the big rock by the side of the road, took out the water bag and took a sip of water.

"General, just received a regular communication signal, Ma Dai's army was ambushed!" A scout rushed over.

"Where was it ambushed?" Ma Chao stood up abruptly.

"It's on the plain fifty miles to the north of us! General Ma Dai's situation is not optimistic, and he sent back a coded signal hoping that we can go to the rescue." The scout handed over the coded letter.

This is a letter transmitted through a special channel with a special code.And this code is not fixed, each army has its own code, including this army that entered the enemy's rear.

Ma Chao confirmed the code on the letter, and his heart was a little messed up.Ma Dai is his younger brother, so if possible, he must go back to rescue, especially after his father died, the last thing he wanted to see was the death of his own people.

But what if the other party has already anticipated this, so they give themselves a spot to help?

Ma Chao was very hesitant, but at this moment, the scout sent back another secret letter.This was sent back by Hua Xiong, saying that he had received a message from Ma Dai, and he was going to check it out.

Ma Chao felt a little relieved, but he still ordered the soldiers to carefully bypass the plain and arrive at the rear to stand by.His intuition told him that something seemed wrong.

But at the plain where the secret message was sent, Lu Xun was already ready for an ambush.The scouts also reported that the three parties had received the letter they sent, and had begun to rush towards this side quickly.As for Ma Dai, the letter received was that Ma Chao was in an ambush.

"Using secret codes is certainly a good thing, but if you don't change them for too long, it's easy for the enemy to see through...Everyone Liu Mingjun, welcome to the trap I prepared for you!" Lu Xun murmured, looking up at the starry sky.

Beside him, there are a lot of letters, these are secret letters, many, many secret letters collected by him by various means.They were all used by Ma Chao's army, and he found and typed Ma Chao's password in this pile of secret letters, and used it in reverse.
