While Mi Yang was waiting for Jiang Wei at the street pavilion, Yu Fan returned to Jianye City with Lu Xun's handwritten letter.
Sun Quan heard that Yu Fan had returned as Lu Xun's envoy, so he held a grand welcome ceremony for Yu Fan.
Long before Yu Fan returned to Jianye City, the news that Hefei had been captured by the Wu army had reached Jianye.
This is not surprising, Xu Sheng was a general promoted by Sun Quan.
Therefore, even if Sun Quan did not say it explicitly, once there was any disturbance on the front line, Xu Sheng would still consciously write a report and send it to Jianye.
So what if there was trouble, let alone such a great victory as the capture of Hefei?
When he learned that Cao Xiu burned Hefei and fled, Sun Quan was a little unbelievable at first.
Even if Sun Quan knew what consequences Cao Xiu's burning of Hefei would bring to the Wu army, it is an indisputable fact that the area around Hefei City is now completely under the control of the Wu army.
In the past years when he was in power, he raised hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Hefei several times, but was repelled by the Wei army several times in disgrace.
Since then, it has become the biggest humiliation and heartache in Sun Quan's heart.
Due to his own record, Sun Quan almost thought that Hefei was an impossible city to attack.
Now, less than half a year after Lu Xun sent troops, he captured Hefei for him. This was certainly unbelievable to Sun Quan.
But not long after, Sun Quan's disbelief turned into ecstasy.
Even cried with joy.
What kind of strategic significance Hefei has to Jiangdong has been talked about by many heroes in Jiangdong in the past few decades.
In a nutshell: If Sun Quan wants to dominate China, Hefei must be captured first.
This kind of strategic significance is not unimportant, and it is hidden in the priority of capturing Jingzhou.
Precisely because Hefei has such great strategic significance, as the ruler Sun Quan, how could he not cry with joy when he learned that Wu Jun had captured Hefei?
Not only Sun Quan was like this, when the news spread in Jianye City, the entire Jianye City also fell into a carnival.
Winning Hefei is a big victory for Jiangdong that can greatly boost people's hearts.
The result of taking Hefei also made many ministers who originally opposed the attack on Hefei shut their mouths.
In just one day, all the Jiangdong ministers in Jianye City changed their tune - Hefei smells so good! The Northern Expedition is so delicious!
The excitement among the people in Jianye City made Sun Quan even more satisfied.
Sun Quan felt that under this kind of carnival, it seemed that the dark clouds shaped like elk that had been hanging over Jianye in the past had been dispersed a lot.
Jiangdong needs a big victory now!
The ecstatic Sun Quan, after calming down a little, thought about sending an envoy to Hefei to reward Lu Xun.
However, Sun Quan's envoy had not yet arrived, but Lu Xun's envoy Yu Fan returned to Jianye first.
And Sun Quan, who is currently in love with Wujiwu, will naturally not be too careless about Yu Fan's return.
After welcoming Yu Fan into the Taiwei's mansion with a grand ceremony, Sun Quan excitedly held Yu Fan's hand and said, "Rang Gu is the most noble person in the world right now, Boyan!"
Xuande has Mi Yang, and Gu has Bo Yan, which is enough to rival him! "
Sun Quan was a powerful ruler, but at the same time he also had a very distinct personality.
His distinctive character is that when he encounters great joy or anger, Sun Quan will often subconsciously say something without thinking.
Just like the two sentences he said to Yu Fan at the moment.
Although Jiangdong achieved a great victory in taking over Hefei, Jiangdong is still nominally a vassal state of the Han Dynasty, and Sun Quan is the Taiwei of the Han Dynasty.
In this position, how could Sun Quan rashly say that "the world is noble" and "enemies Xuande"?
This is considered disrespectful.
After hearing these two sentences, Sun Quan's close minister Shi Yi coughed a few times at the right time, hoping to remind Sun Quan.
After being reminded by Shiyi, Sun Quan realized belatedly that he had made a mistake just now.
How could you rashly say what's in your heart like this?
However, Sun Quan didn't pay too much attention. Everyone present was his confidant, and Sun Quan was not too worried that what he said today would spread.
The excited Sun Quan took Yu Fan's hand and pulled him to the seat closest to him, and then he returned to the main seat and sat down.
After sitting down, Sun Quan quickly asked Shi Yi to hand the document he had just drafted into Yu Fan's hands for him to read.
This document was the reward document prepared by Sun Quan for Lu Xun.
In this document of awarding Lu Xun, Sun Quan also worshiped Lu Xun as the general of the auxiliary country, granted him the title of Marquis of Liyang, and granted him 100 million yuan in money and 500 kilograms of gold.
At first glance, the status of the general of the auxiliary country is not high, and he is not a general with a heavy title.
But at present, Sun Quan is nominally the Taiwei of the Han Dynasty, and the important generals of the Han Dynasty have already been selected.
Therefore, Sun Quan could only grant Lu Xun the title of General Miscellaneous within the scope of his authority.
Among all the miscellaneous generals in Jiangdong, the status of General Fuguo can be regarded as the first.
When the three governors of Zhou Yu, Lu Su, and Lu Meng all passed away, Lu Xun, who had the title of General Auxiliary, had actually become the fourth governor of Jiangdong.
Being able to become the second person in charge of Jiangdong's military power, Sun Quan's reward to Lu Xun was not unimportant, not to mention other huge rewards in terms of titles, gold and silver.
After Yu Fan read the contents of the reward document, Sun Quan looked at Yu Fan expectantly and asked:
"Does Zhongxiang think Boyan will be satisfied with Gu's consecration?"
Sun Quan would never be stingy with his tenderness towards ministers who could make great contributions to him.
Sun Quan asked Yu Fan if there was no other meaning in this sentence. If Yu Fan thought that Lu Xun would be dissatisfied, he could directly report to Liu Bei and fight for the title of heavy general for Lu Xun.
After hearing Sun Quan's gentle inquiry, Yu Fan, who had always been disliked by Sun Quan, asked himself that he had never seen Sun Quan treat him like this.
But Yu Fan also knew that Sun Quan's gentleness was not for him.
Yu Fan stood up and bowed slightly to Sun Quan and replied: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the general is not a person who is greedy for fame. The general will know how much your Majesty loves the general."
Yu Fan's answer made Sun Quan laugh.
"Yes and that's right."
After laughing, Sun Quan came to his senses and asked Yu Fan again: "Bo Yan suddenly asked you to turn back, but what difficulties does Boyan have on the front line?
If there is someone who can tell you everything, I will make the decision for Boyan! "
Sun Quan was overjoyed, but he also knew that if Lu Xun had not encountered difficulties, he would not have suddenly sent Yu Fan back.
At the moment, Sun Quan thought that the difficulty Lu Xun encountered was that one of his clan members or generals did not obey Lu Xun's instructions.
So Sun Quan made a guarantee for Yu Fan with dignity.
After Hefei was captured by Wu Jun, Wu Jun's next consideration should of course be to pursue the victory.
Under this prospect, Sun Quan would certainly be wary of anyone influencing Lu Xun's command authority.
Faced with Sun Quan's assurance, Yu Fan felt reassured.
The Supreme is still wise.
Yu Fan did not delay, he quickly took out Lu Xun's autographed letter from his arms, and then forwarded it to Sun Quan by Shi Yi.
Upon seeing this, Sun Quan took the letter written by Lu Xun and read it with a cautious expression.
The content of the letter was not long, and Sun Quan read it quickly.
After reading it, Sun Quan on the one hand felt that Lu Xun's request was very important, and on the other hand, the joy in his heart increased a bit.
This sentence, "The Supreme Being rises up to fight and knows the military strategy well" can be said to have touched the heart of Sun Quan.
And it was like turning into a few catkins, tickling Sun Quan's heart.
But in front of Yu Fan, Sun Quan did not show any abnormality.
Sun Quan immediately turned to Yu Fan and said, "You can rest assured.
Qing Ke immediately returned to the front line to inform Boyan that Gu would then mobilize all the manpower and material resources from Jiangdong to the front line to support Boyan in continuing the Northern Expedition. "
When Sun Quan said this promise, his tone was very firm.
Although Sun Quan knew that doing so would cause some turmoil within Jiangdong, Sun Quan also knew that what Lu Xun said in the letter was right.
For the bright future of the Sun family, Sun Quan does not lack the courage to stud.
After getting Sun Quan's promise, Yu Fan stood up and resigned to Sun Quan.
Lu Xun originally asked Yu Fan to stay and persuade Sun Quan to agree to his request, but it can be seen from Sun Quan's current attitude that Sun Quan knew what to do without any persuasion.
Under this situation, it was meaningless for Yu Fan to stay in Jianye City.
And after waiting for Yu Fan to leave, Sun Quan did not intend to break his promise.
He immediately issued stern orders as the Lord of Jiangdong.
These orders all urged all parties to transport the manpower and material resources Lu Xun needed to Hefei.
However, no matter how strict Sun Quan's order was, transferring a large number of manpower and material resources from various places was a time-consuming matter.
Therefore, in the next half month, the entire Jiangdong has been busy.
Just busy, when several envoys from the West entered Jianye City, some new arguments suddenly appeared in the city.
These arguments are certainly not slanderous. Lu Xun, who is currently at the height of his power in Jiangdong, is not slanderous.
After all, Lu Xun is now Sun Quan's darling, and Sun Quan is not an ordinary monarch. Some baseless alienation is of no use to him.
The content of these arguments is to suggest that Sun Quan personally conquer.
At first, such arguments were just drunken remarks among a few low-status ministers in a wine shop, and could not be regarded as formal suggestions.
But gradually, this kind of argument also appeared at the banquets of major aristocratic families.
When this kind of argument comes to the banquets of major aristocratic families, it means that Sun Quan will also know about it.
After Sun Quan learned that some ministers wanted him to personally conquer the war, although he did not express any attitude towards this suggestion, his heart was tickled even more because of this argument.
Among the three entrepreneurial heroes of the three families, each hero has his own character weaknesses.
Cao Cao was too suspicious and obsessed with killing to stop killing.
Liu Bei is too emotional and will make wrong decisions because of this.
As for Sun Quan, his character weaknesses are more contradictory than those of the previous two heroes.
Once Jiangdong goes against the wind, Sun Quan is like a prophet, always making various correct predictions in difficult circumstances.
But once Jiangdong has favorable conditions, Sun Quan will be like a different person, unable to change his shortcomings of being both good at fighting and conquering by himself.
Under the exaggeration of Hefei's victory, it is obvious that Sun Quan's problem is beginning to show signs of onset again.
It's just that Sun Quan loves face, and he doesn't want to take the initiative to express his inner desires.
He used a method to give his inner desire a background for implementation.
Sun Quan ordered people to reward the ministers who suggested that he personally conquer without reason.
When Sun Quan made such a move, anyone who was not a fool could see Sun Quan's true thoughts.
Soon after, all kinds of enthusiastic speeches requesting Sun Quan to personally conquer appeared in the entire Jianye City.
In response to "increasingly intense" requests for Sun Quan to personally conquer the country, Sun Quan specially summoned a parliament on the matter.
It is self-evident what the outcome of this parliament will be.
It is not that there are no ministers in the parliament to dissuade Sun Quan from acting rashly. This group of ministers can also argue with those who support Sun Quan's personal expedition.
But the problem is that Sun Quan, as the arbiter, has a crooked butt.
Even Lu Xun boasted that he was "a soldier and well versed in military strategy." What did the other ministers have to say?
Besides, Sun Quan felt that he was just going to Hefei to see it, just for a look!
So at that meeting, Sun Quan fully considered the opinions of the ministers, and then "had to" make the decision to conquer Jiangdong in person for the sake of Jiangdong hegemony.
After everything settled, the news was sent out in all directions at an extremely fast speed.
The street pavilion was not close to Jianye, but because of Mi Yang's attention, the spies in Jianye City still sent the news of Sun Quan's upcoming personal expedition to Mi Yang as quickly as possible.
After learning that Sun Quan was really going to fight in person, Mi Yang couldn't help laughing.
As the saying goes, a slap can't make a difference, Mi Yang's plan was involved in this matter, but Mi Yang was thousands of miles away, and his plan could only serve as a primer at best.
If Sun Quan didn't want to, how could this mere introduction make Mi Yang get his wish?
The reason why Mi Yang couldn't help laughing was because Sun Quan personally conquered the country, which was equivalent to Jiangdong himself causing a big stumbling block for him.
Later generations will be an era of proliferation of self-media. In that era, there will be various views on many people or things during the Three Kingdoms period.
The resulting whitewashing and smearing efforts are too numerous to mention.
But no matter how many self-media people try to attract attention, Mi Yang has never seen anyone dare to whitewash Sun Quan's military strategy, unless he wants to be criticized and his account deleted.
Not to mention the self-media of later generations, in the more than a thousand years of later generations, countless famous ministers and generals have a special liking for the Three Kingdoms. But when those famous ministers and generals mentioned Sun Quan's military strategy, which one of them would not shake their heads?
Facts speak louder than words, and Sun Quan's military strategy is so poor that people can't understand it.
If Sun Quan like this goes to the front line, if Mi Yang dares to guarantee it, Lu Xun will cry.
And just when Mi Yang was happy that the "strategy of weakening the enemy" was successful, another piece of good news also reached his ears.
Captain Jiang Da Transportation is back!
After learning the news, Mi Yang quickly left the camp to welcome Jiang Wei's return.
When she saw Jiang Wei again, Mi Yang almost didn't recognize him.
At this time, Jiang Wei, who was standing in front of Mi Yang, looked completely disgraceful and had an unspeakable pungent odor on his body.
If it weren't for the vague sight of the armor on Jiang Wei's body, others might have thought that Jiang Wei was a refugee fleeing the disaster.
Not only Jiang Wei was like this, but the hundreds of Han troops who followed Jiang Wei to Yumen County were also like this.
Many Han soldiers were still wounded.
Even visible to the naked eye, the number of Han troops has decreased a lot.
All these prove the hardships faced by Jiang Wei and hundreds of Han troops in the past days.
But fortunately, Jiang Wei completed the task assigned to him by Mi Yang.
After seeing Mi Yang, Jiang Wei knelt down on one knee excitedly and reported to Mi Yang:
"My lord, you have fulfilled your mission!"
After hearing this, Mi Yang turned to look at the car behind Jiang Wei. The things on the car covered by wet cowhide made Mi Yang smile.
Since I have not disgraced my mission, as the Lord, it is naturally time for him to take action to turn the tide of the war.
