South of Yong'an City, two rivers converge, and the confluence is shaped like a circle, tightly surrounding a medium-sized hill. Further east along this hill is the world-famous Qutang Gorge, where Li Xian's navy Stopping at Lingmen Water Village, which is connected to the Baidi Palace in Qutang Gorge, following the autumn wind, there are waves of chill on the huge river surface, but in Yong'an City, the wheat ears are still golden, and many farmers He began to swing the sickle and hoe vigorously in the field. Although it was hard work, he still could not hide the smile on his face.
"Although Li Yan is selfish, he is indeed a genius in farming." Li Xian and Chen Dao were already patrolling along Yong'an City, from Huanhuaxi Town in the north to Lingmen Water Village in the south.
Chen Dao looked at the rugged river surface, feeling the cool autumn wind, and said slowly: "Han Xing, do you have any strategy to defeat the enemy now?"
Li Xian smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "To be honest, uncle, my nephew has been thinking hard for a long time, but he has never been able to find a way to defeat the enemy."
How could he not know that even though he was a time traveler, no matter who it was now, no one could say that they were sure of victory when facing Commander Lu Xun, who could almost be ranked among the top ten in the list of famous generals of all time.
Chen Dao also shook his head and said: "Han Xing, what you said to Li Yan the day before yesterday is definitely not a broad-minded person. If you don't do anything, he will impeach you with a memorial, saying that you support the army and respect yourself." What do you think?"
Hearing this, Li Xian was silent. He just sighed facing the tall autumn sky, then took a few steps forward and said: "Uncle, it's not that my nephew doesn't want to fight with that Lu Xun. My nephew is facing me." I think about it day and night, all the time, to avenge the seventy thousand brothers who were buried in Yiling, but I cannot be swayed by my hatred and lose my judgment."
Chen Dao paused when he heard the words. Suddenly, a gust of autumn wind blew, and he felt a sudden chill in his bones. He couldn't help but shuddered, but then he thought about it and said: "So you plan to stick to Yong'an to tire out the Wu army."
"My nephew plans to capture the entire Nanjun of Jingzhou." Li Xian replied immediately, even without explanation.
Chen Dao said doubtfully: "Then how do you get it? If you don't move, will all the southern counties of Jingzhou be delivered to us?"
"My nephew is waiting for someone." Li Xian turned to face the Yangtze River and stood with his hands behind his back. The river wind suddenly blew up Li Xian's red robe, and the green sword on his waist also clanged.
Chen Dao said bluntly: "Chen doesn't understand. Now that Lu Xun is under Chen Bing's command, if he doesn't go out to fight, why should he wait for him to retreat on his own?"
Li Xian's eyes suddenly lit up. Little did Chen know that his unintentional words were exactly what Li Xian was thinking...
In the Prince Wu's Mansion.
"Sir, Lu Xun not only confiscated the gold, silver and jewelry, but he also scolded my envoy. How audacious!" Sun He looked at Sun Chong angrily.
Sun Chong didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "Is Your Highness angry because he cannot win over Lu Xun? Or is he angry because the envoy was scolded?"
"Of course it's Lu Xun who doesn't know what's good and what's good!" Sun He just finished speaking, but was stopped by Sun Chong.
"Your Highness, please don't think so. If it's true that Lu Xun doesn't know what's good or bad, Your Highness shouldn't be resentful towards him. For this purpose, what Your Highness wants to give to Lu Xun is definitely not gold, silver and jewelry." Sun Chong said slowly.
Sun He looked puzzled and said: "Then what should I give? Sir, teach me?"
Sun Chong smiled and said: "What the prince wants to give is naturally something he can't refuse. How can it be valuable?"
"Can't refuse?" Sun He asked in confusion for a moment, "What can't be refused?"
Sun Chong said with a smile: "Your Highness, the ultimate ideal of any military commander on the battlefield is to be granted the title of Marquis. Li Guangqiong has never been able to be granted the title of Marquis in his entire life. It can be seen that the title of Marquis is the long-cherished wish of a military general, and what Lu Xun cannot refuse is naturally the current one. Your Majesty’s reward.”
Sun He suddenly realized: "Sir, what do you want me to do to ask my father to grant Lu Xun the title of Marquis? I understand. I will write to Your Majesty and request that Lu Xun be granted the title of Marquis of Jiangling! Thank you, Mr. Sir, for your advice!" So he was very happy. The courtiers were asked to start a joint letter requesting that Lu Xun be granted the title of Marquis.
The next day, in the Wu Kingdom Hall.
Sun Quan frowned as he looked at the memorial in front of him, but no one in the hall dared to speak.
But he heard Sun Quan suddenly speak: "Who is in charge of this Lu Boyan's decision to enfeoff a marquis?"
"Your Majesty, I am your son." Sun He raised his hand and said.
Sun Quan's face suddenly broke into a smile, and he said: "Okay! You are indeed my prince. He is really in the palace, and he knows how to care about military and national affairs. Reward!"
"Thank you, Father!" Sun He said quickly and immediately knelt down to thank him.
Sun Quan's expression suddenly changed, and he said calmly: "Where is Zhuge Jin?"
Zhuge Jin cupped his hands and walked out of the queue: "I'm here!"
"Draw up a decree for me, saying that the front line is hard and Yong'an City is too strong to be captured. I sympathize with the hard work of the front line soldiers, especially Governor Boyan. I miss him very much and ask him to return to Jianye to report on his work. I ordered Quan Cong to temporarily take charge of it. The position of deputy governor is to control the entire army from returning to defend Jiangxia."
"I accept the order." Zhuge Jin frowned slightly, but had no choice but to accept the order.
.....
In Chengdu city.
"Li Yan has already written a letter saying that Li Xian has been practicing in the city for almost a month. Lu Xun has already fought to the bottom of the city and still refuses to fight. Could it be that Li Xian is self-respecting because of his own strength?" Liu Chan said while talking. In the palace, he was playing with the house sparrow and asked Huang Hao casually.
Huang Hao never dared to speak out, so he could only stand silently beside him.
"Speak! You look like a mute. It's just you and me. Are you still afraid that they will say you interfere in government affairs?" Liu Chan lightly kicked Huang Hao in the calf.
Huang Hao seemed to have just come to his senses and quickly replied: "I thought this Li Xian would never support his troops and respect himself."
"How can I see it?"
"As for the Yong'an guards, Li Yan and Luo Xian are both Yizhou nobles, and most of the defenders are Yizhou soldiers, and most of their families are in Chengdu. If you support your troops and respect yourself, your majesty only needs to draw fuel from the bottom of the cauldron, so what are you worried about?" Huang Haoyan said.
"Yeah, the little thing is quite smart! Why didn't you notice it before?" Liu Chan said with a smile.
Huang Hao quickly said: "Your Majesty taught me well!"
"That's natural."
...
Wu Jun's camp, inside Lu Xun's tent.
"Retire the army? Who asked to withdraw the army? Kill this person quickly! He must be a spy!" Ding Feng said in confusion in the tent.
Lu Xun shook his head and said, "No need, the prince of the day is asking your majesty to make me the Marquis of Jiangling."
Pan Zhang, Ma Zhong and other generals were puzzled and said: "Is this a good thing? Why is the governor worried?"
Lu Xun gave a bitter smile and said: "Misfortune lies on the back of blessings, and misfortune lies on the back of blessings. How can there be a pie falling out of thin air in the world? I'm afraid that you and I are already in someone else's situation and don't know the situation. That's all. I am the governor." I'm going back to Jianye to report on my duties, but before I leave, I have one more general order from the Commander-in-Chief."
All the generals clasped their hands together and said: "We will obey the command of the Commander-in-Chief!"
"If our army retreats, then Li Xian and Chen will definitely come to pursue us. Pan Zhang listens to the order. You and Li Xian's front will fight. You can only lose but not win, and lure his troops into Shang'anping."
"Got the order!"
"Ding Feng, listen to the order! You lead an army to ambush on the left and right sides of Shang'anping. Wait for the front to pass by and attack halfway to disrupt their army's formation!"
"Got the order!"
"Okay, the rest of the tribe will follow me back to Jiangxia."
After Lu Xun had arranged everything, he slowly led his army back to Jiangxia by boat. Lu Xun took a distant look at Yong'an City on his warship, but felt that it was getting further and further away, and he still didn't know where he was. It's an indescribable feeling of being pinched by someone's throat.
.....
"Then Lu Xun withdrew?" Chen Dao looked at the main force of the Wu army on the map that was getting further away in disbelief. He was secretly surprised, but he immediately reacted and hurriedly said: "Captain! The general requests pursuit!"
Li Xian shook his head and said: "No, the fighter plane has not appeared, we must not pursue it at this moment!"
"General, look! That's the Zhiyuan!" Zhao Guang at the top of the city said in surprise.
Li Xian was shocked: "Where is Luo Xian? Why didn't he stop Wang Rui? How dare he send troops privately without the general's orders!"
"Then I will go and meet the young general!" Tian Dali said with his hands in hand.
"Go quickly! I will give you the rear in person. The other generals must not leave the city without my general order!" After Li Xian gave the order, he immediately ordered his troops and horses, hurried out of the city and shouted along the land: "Wang Rui! Come back!"
"Father! The murderer of my father is on that ship! I'm going to kill him!" Wang Rui replied while facing the wind on the ship.
"Obey! Come back!" Even Li Xianrao and Fei Hongju couldn't catch up with the speed of the Zhiyuan sailing down the wind.
Wang Rui was heard shouting loudly against the autumn wind: "Give me a trebuchet and let it go!"
Lu Xun saw it clearly and said with a smile: "You are really full of blood!"
"Ma Zhong, Ling Tong!"
"The general is here!"
"You two set up all the small boats in our headquarters and make detours to the left and right. You must sink this boat for me!" Lu Xun ordered.
"Got the order!"
But he saw Ling Tong flying onto the boat, and dozens of small boats began to weave left and right. The bows and arrows on the boat kept coming, which made Wang Rui hairy: "Give me a crossbow! Fire!"
Some sailors hurriedly set up their crossbows, but they still had trouble aiming at the boat that was like a dragon swimming in the river.
"General, you can't aim accurately!"
"If you're not aiming right, run over me!" Wang Rui gasped.
"They are too young and run too fast!" A farmer quickly reported.
Indeed, on this river, the stability of a large ship is much higher than that of a small ship, but the maneuverability of a small ship is not comparable to that of a large ship, especially these Soochow navy masters who are skilled in water skills. Now in their eyes, Wang Rui can be said to be the best in the world. Caught in a tight siege, he was just a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered. Li Xian never expected that the adopted son he brought would cause such a big trouble for him.
Many sergeants had already started to board the Zhiyuan's deck along the ropes. Li Xian tried his best to fire arrows from the shore, but he couldn't stop the Dongwu soldiers who boarded the ship. For a moment, he only felt itchy with hatred and worried about Wang Rui's safety. .
"Ah!" Then a scream came from the boat, and Li Xian felt a slight pain in his heart...
