In Yongan City.
"Lu Xun wants to attack Xiangyang?" Chen Dao looked at the letter in his hand in disbelief.
Li Yan spoke out in the hall: "General, Lu Xun has come so quickly and has many tricks. Lu Xun invites our army to join forces to attack Xiangyang. It must be a trap. The general thought that he could pretend to agree, but he didn't actually send troops. It depends on what Lu Xun can do." If he can capture it, our army can take advantage of the opportunity to attack his camp and cut off his return route. Wouldn't this kill two birds with one stone?"
Chen Dao pinched his beard and nodded but still said with some doubts: "What Zhengfang said is reasonable, but Lu Xun is good at using soldiers. Couldn't he see such a simple trap himself?"
Li Yan was just silent, after all, he really didn't know what kind of medicine Lu Xun was selling in his gourd.
Inside the Jiangxia Assembly Hall in Jingzhou.
But I saw a man in white standing with a sword, his face was as warm as jade, and he softly chanted: "Winning fame both in life and in life... I never expected that Li Xianfei was not only a genius in military affairs, but also a world-class poet."
"Why should the governor have the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige? Li Xian has not fought against the governor yet, so how can he know how powerful the governor is? No matter how powerful Li Xian is, how is he better than Guan Yu, and how is he better than Liu Bei?" But he saw a general saying with his hands raised. .
"I heard that Li Xian was a deserter in the Battle of Yiling, and now he can be the governor. I think he must be the one who was burned by the governor in Shu, hahaha!" Another general laughed.
These words immediately caused the audience to burst into laughter, but the young man frowned, as if he was worried.
Finally, the general who was the first to speak couldn't help it anymore: "General, what are you worrying about?"
"I have something that is difficult to tell whether it is true or not. Can you make a decision for me?" the young man said.
The general immediately raised his hands and said: "The commander-in-chief only obeys orders! Pan Zhang does everything!"
The young man shook his head and said: "Now the city of Yong'an is full of banners with the word "Li", but the craftsman in the city said that Li Xian is not in Yong'an. I want to make sure whether the words of this craftsman can be believed."
After hearing this, all the generals in the tent looked at each other in shock and did not dare to say anything.
But a general came out and said: "Report to the Governor, the general thinks that our army can pretend to attack Xiangyang and lure Shu to send troops. If the response in Yong'an City is quick, it must be that Li Xian has not arrived. If the response is slow, it must be that Li Xian has already arrived." arrive."
The young man finally relaxed his brows, looked closely at the people in the hall, and said, "What's your name?"
"For the report to the Governor, I am Ding Feng from Lujiang." Ding Feng stepped forward and said with cupped hands.
"What do the generals think?" Lu Xun said with a smile.
Many people still didn't react, and even thought that Ding Feng was telling the truth. However, looking at Lu Xun's eyes and behavior, it seemed that they were completely inconsistent with what they were thinking. Even his general Pan Zhang, Ma Zhong, etc. Everyone looked at each other, not even understanding what was going on.
The young man did not explain, but still smiled and said: "That's it, Ma Zhong obeys the order!"
"The general is here!"
"You lead 10,000 elite troops to pretend to be on the Han River, pretending to attack Xiangyang, but be sure not to fight with them. The boat will stop when it reaches Fengling Ferry, abandon the boat, land on the slope of Changban."
"The last general takes command!"
"Pan Zhang obeys the order!"
"The general is here! You lead five thousand elite troops to gather on both sides of Shimen Mountain. If the Shu army comes, you can attack them."
"The last general takes command!"
"Generals Ding Feng and Chunyu Dan obey the order!"
"The general is here!"
"The two of you are the first and second vanguards respectively, and you will attack Yong'an together with the Commander-in-Chief!"
"The last general takes command!"
After Lu Xun finished dividing the general orders, he called out another person, it was Lu Ju, and said: "Mr. Lu, I have three questions for your Majesty. I hope you can come on my behalf."
"The Governor said it's okay."
"The first question is, does your Majesty want to take back Jingzhou and Yizhou? The second question is, does your Majesty want to defeat Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, and the third question is, does your Majesty want to unify the world and become the foundation of all generations." Lu Xun finished slowly.
Lu Ju had already heard everything and said bluntly: "Is it possible that the Governor is sure of winning this battle?"
Lu Xun said with a smile: "Victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists. How can we casually declare victory or defeat? Mr. Lu, please give me a hard time."
.......
In Bodao County.
The rushing river was occasionally accompanied by the roar of apes, but Li Xian stood with his sword on the Zhiyuan, frowning, staring at the flying swallows breaking through the sky in a daze.
"Father, what are you thinking about?" Wang Ruiyan asked.
Li Xian shook his head and sighed: "Ruier, do you like fighting?"
Wang Rui also shook his head and said: "Rui'er doesn't like it, but if we want to avenge my father, this battle must be fought!"
Li Xian also nodded and said: "I don't like fighting either, but behind me are countless soldiers who have left their homes and have been marching on the road without stopping for the great goal of reviving the Han Dynasty. Therefore, I cannot retreat."
Wang Rui nodded as if he understood, but said nothing. Then a crane chirped, "General, the last tanker has been launched! General, please give me its name."
Li Xian paused and said, "It's called Huang Hehao!"
"Yes, the Yellow Crane sets sail!"
"Ruier, do you miss home?" Li Xian asked again.
"Of course, Rui'er will not only miss my godfather who is still slaughtering pigs at home, but also want to make a delicious godmother for me." Wang Rui said.
Li Xian nodded when he heard this and said: "Rui'er, if we can't go back from this battle, what is the one thing you want to do most?"
Wang Rui said: "Of course I want to eat all the delicacies in Chengdu!"
"Okay, then my adoptive father will promise you that if we can all go back safely from this battle, my adoptive father will take you to eat every delicacy in Chengdu!" Li Xianyan said.
"General, there are two women outside the shipyard asking to meet, saying they are the general's wives."
Li Xian quickly ordered someone to put down the boat ladder and walked to the door. He saw Han's daughter and her maid at the door, holding a food box in their hands.
"Why are you here?" Li Xian was a little surprised.
Unexpectedly, the maid was the first to speak: "Sir, you also said that my young lady knew that you had not returned home in three months and had never communicated with your family. My parents-in-law were so anxious that they were sweating profusely. The young lady only found out after asking Tian Dali. You said that you were building a ship. The lady was worried that the young master would not eat well, so she prepared the snacks that the young master liked to eat. She originally planned to come over by water, but she didn’t know that the boatmen did not dare to sail due to the heavy rain for days, so they had to take a carriage and come overland. This way It lasted two and a half days, and the lady’s foot became sprained.”
The Han girl just said softly: "Okay, Xiaocui, stop talking."
Li Xian felt a little ashamed and said bluntly: "Madam, let's go to the back room to rest." He helped Han's daughter into the room where he slept and worked.
This kind of room was only temporarily made of thatch and mud, and because of the heavy rain for days, the room had long been filled with a damp smell.
Han's daughter and Xiaocui also waved their hands to try to prevent themselves from breathing less moisture: "Husband, have you been living in a place like this these past three months?"
Li Xian nodded and said, "Yes."
Han's daughter asked again: "Then what did you eat?"
Li Xian smiled awkwardly, took out two pieces of steamed buns from the drawer, and said, "I have to eat the same thing as the migrant workers, so that they will be motivated. You see, the construction period has been shortened a lot."
Han's daughter didn't care about what she said next, she just said in surprise: "Just eat steamed buns? How can you swallow it?"
Li Xian said: "Of course it's not a dry meal. We also stew some mutton soup and tear up the steamed buns to eat. However, mutton soup is not available every day. It comes about once every five days. Usually it is porridge, vegetables and steamed buns. .”
Unexpectedly, Han's daughter suddenly started sobbing: "My husband is eating like this, I'm afraid he will be in bad shape."
Li Xian scratched his head and said, "It's okay. In the past two months, we sometimes eat like this in ordinary military camps."
Then Han's daughter handed over the food box and said: "Husband, the first layer is the Fuling pastry made by me, the second layer is made by my mother, he said you have to leave half for Rui'er to eat, and the third layer is made by my mother. The layer is made by Xiaocui, husband, you must remember to eat it on time."
Li Xian nodded quickly and said, "You must remember your lady's instructions? Madam, are your feet feeling better?"
Only then did I see that the ankle joint of the Han girl was swollen, and it was obvious that the sprain was severe. I quickly asked my servants to go to the waterside to get a bag of water, barely put an ice pack on the swollen ankle joint, and then applied force myself. After resetting her, Han's daughter screamed in pain. After a while, the reset was restored, but the swelling had not subsided and she could no longer walk. Li Xian carried Han's daughter on his back and said: "Xiao Cui, you first go to Bodao County to find the best inn, and I'll send my wife to stay there."
Along the way, the two of them were relatively speechless, but Li Xian spoke first: "Madam, don't be so stupid next time. I also remember to write letters and send them home from time to time."
The Han girl hummed and asked, "Husband, are you going to fight again?"
Li Xian also hummed and said, "It's just that this time the opponent is unusual."
"I know this, it's Lu Xun."
"Are you sure of winning?" Han's daughter asked softly.
Li Xian felt a little silent, and just sighed and said: "No."
"Then why do you want to fight?" Han's daughter asked a little puzzled.
"Madam, what I said is true. I have no confidence in winning, and there is a high possibility that I will lose completely. If, what I mean is if, I won't be able to come back..."
"I don't allow you to say that! You will definitely come back, and you will definitely come back alive!" the Han girl said in a voice that was almost about to cry.
"Good boy, I'm telling the truth. If I can't come back, you must take care of your health. If I can come back alive, then we can take Rui'er to eat all the delicious food in Chengdu, okay? Then Let’s have another litter of big fat boys.” Li Xian said.
Unexpectedly, she suddenly felt a few drops of moisture on her shoulders. It was obvious that Han's daughter had started crying and said: "You must come back alive, and I will take you to Fuling to eat all the delicious food in my hometown."
Li Xian was silent. Maybe it was too cruel to tell her this now, but facing a top military genius like Lu Xun, no one could say that they could defeat him 100%. After all, the last person who looked down on him had sacrificed a lot. The price was 70,000, and he even paid for it.
Not long after, they arrived at the post house.
"Okay, I promise you, I will come back alive and remember to take good care of my parents!" After Li Xian finished speaking, he put Han's daughter down and told Xiaocui to take care of her before leaving.
"Miss, why are you crying? Look at how good the young master is, I will carry you back myself." Xiao Cui said confused.
However, Han's daughter was a little sad and said: "My husband said that his trip is very dangerous, and I am a little scared."
Xiaocui pouted and said: "Miss, what are you afraid of? I heard from the master that before he went to the street pavilion last time, he had already explained his funeral arrangements. Is it possible that this time it will be more dangerous than that time?" ? And how powerful the young master is, I heard someone say that the young master is the apprentice of the old general Zhao Zilong. He is so skilled with a spear that only he can kill the enemy."
The Han girl put away her tears and asked, "Is this true?"
"It's absolutely true, how can it be false?" Xiaocui said with a firm face. To be honest, she had only heard about it. As for whether people would die on this battlefield and whether they would win, how could she know? She was only responsible for Han's As long as the woman is happy.
