"Captain! This Changsha was bought with the lives of thousands of our soldiers. Why can Soochow just go there just by talking about it? I, Zhao Guang, don't accept it!" Zhao Guang said in a menacing manner. It was obvious that he came to Li Xian to argue with this attitude. .
Li Xian did want to say something, but so far, all his plans must be hidden, because if the news is leaked by accident, it is very likely that everything will be lost.
"Junior brother, this is a big plan for the family and the country. How can you be resentful because of the gains and losses of one party? Besides, Soochow is accustomed to using negotiation methods. Junior brother should know that the national thief is Cao Wei now, and the war in the south should be based on safety." Li Xian He held the case with one hand and put the other hand on his waist to persuade him.
"Captain! The general just doesn't understand! Why did he fight in the first place if he knew he wanted to give it back?" Zhao Guang continued to ask.
Li Xian was helpless and had no choice but to say: "This is His Majesty's will. If we can get back the enemies who killed General Guan and General Zhang back then, and even return Yiling to Soochow, what's the objection?"
"Captain! Those are just four losers. Even if they are exchanged for these four losers, they may not be worth the land of these four cities?" Zhao Guang wanted to argue, but was stopped by Li Xian.
"Junior brother, I know what you are thinking. Who can blame Soochow now? I can only blame Dongwu for being cunning. He stabbed his allies in the back during the previous peace talks. This time he was beaten and begged for mercy. He can still earn back a city with his words. In the final analysis, it is the commander-in-chief's incompetence that has harmed the officers and soldiers of the three armies." Li Xian spoke slowly, then took off his helmet, but immediately said sonorously: "But! As long as our three armies share the same hatred today, let alone Changsha City today, it is I will also bring these four counties of Jingnan back to you! Remember, you must be patient and never ruin the plans of your family and country for the sake of temporary whim."
At this point, Zhao Guang still wanted to speak, but Fu Qian on the side gently tugged at the corner of his clothes. After understanding, he stopped talking.
After the generals dispersed, Zhao Guang asked Fu Qian: "Why did the young general pull the corner of my clothes? Does the young general have other ideas?"
"Uncle Zhao, I think the governor is a little strange. The cession of Changsha this time seems a bit intentional." Fu Qian also said with a hint of doubt.
Zhao Guang frowned slightly: "Little General, you mean that the Governor has other plans and is just hiding it from us?"
"It's possible." Fu Qian just nodded his little head.
"Then how can we hide it from Lu Xun? Is that a person that even the Prime Minister is afraid of? Doing this will only attract moths to the flame." Zhao Guang immediately stood on the spot.
"Perhaps the governor's plan can really be concealed from Lu Xun?" Fu Qian also looked at Zhao Guangdao helplessly.
"How about the young general go and persuade him?" Zhao Guang said again.
"No need, the Governor has made up his mind, and we cannot shake it." Fu Qian paused and said, "Actually, from the moment the Governor came to Yong'an, I knew that the Governor seemed to be more determined to attack Wu than the Northern Expedition. "
"What's the explanation?" Zhao Guang asked.
"Before the governor returned to Chengdu, he arranged for Sun Chong to enter Wu in order to reduce the power of the Soochow family and let Sun Quan control all the military power. Is Sun Quan the one in charge of the army? And he repeatedly provoked two people in the court. Even Lu Xun himself is not immune to the palace battle. Even if Lu Xun fights again, he will never be able to bear the battle of being surrounded by enemies from both sides." Fu Qian said eloquently.
"Why did the young general have such knowledge? Could it be that they were all taught by the governor?" Zhao Guang also asked curiously.
"It is true that the governor likes Wang Rui and I to teach the general trend of the world, but the relationship between Sun Quan and Lu Xun is indeed extremely delicate." Fu Qianyan said.
Zhao Guang became more and more interested and asked, "What kind of subtle method is it?"
"Lu Xun was born to be Lu Yi. He was the nephew of Lu Kang, the governor of Lujiang, and the son of Lu Jun of Wu County. Lu Jun died early and was adopted by Lu Kang. After Sun Ce conquered Lujiang and killed all the members of the Lu family, Lu Xun was one of the survivors. Sun Ce recruited him as his son-in-law to appease the Lu family, which is this subtle relationship," Fu Qian said.
Zhao Guang was also shocked when he heard this, and said: "So, these people in Soochow are all people who don't want their father? Ling Tong, Lu Xun, and even Sun Quan?"
Fu Qian also smiled when he heard this and said: "Uncle Zhao is right. However, the reason why the governor was able to arrange for Sun Chong to enter Soochow did have his own method. This strategy of killing the deer and the dragon to use civility and military force, This is the destructive trick that the governor came up with, but this trick is fine in the peaceful and prosperous times. If it can be used in Soochow, which is facing internal and external troubles, I'm afraid..." Fu Qian shook his head after finishing speaking.
"I would say that during the great rise of civil society in the Eastern Wu Dynasty, all the nobles praised Sun Quan and said that Sun Quan was an unparalleled wise king. There must be some clues to it. It turned out to be the governor's clever plan. In this way, Lu Xun could not use his troops like arms and fingers. It can be defeated in one blow! The Governor is truly a Governor, and his uncanny calculations are beyond our comparison."
Fu Qian also smiled and said: "The Governor is too stable. Sometimes, he is so stable that it makes people despair."
"Hahaha!" The two of them smiled at each other.
...
Wuling County Sheriff's Mansion.
"Li is the number one scholar in the new subjects appointed by His Majesty, and was ordered to come to supervise the army. This is Han Cong, your Majesty's imperial guard, the son of General Yi Gong, who has come with three thousand imperial tigers and tigers for the governor to mobilize." This white-faced scholar , obviously like he came out of a scroll, not only does he not have the aura of a warrior at all, but he also looks a bit dull.
"Are you the new top scholar?" Lu Xun looked at Li Huan who was standing in the hall suspiciously.
"Exactly." Li Huan also said with cupped hands.
"What are your Majesty's new subjects tested for?" Lu Xun asked casually.
"Your Majesty examines the strategies for governing the country and the ways of the classics." Li Huan also handed over his hands and said calmly.
This doctrine of scriptures is obviously correct, because it was only in the Southern Song Dynasty that Zhu Xi merged the Four Books and Five Classics into one piece, collectively called the Four Books and Five Classics.
"Did the scriptures teach you how to supervise the army?" Before Lu Xun could speak, Ling Tong, the leader of the hall, was the first to ask without hesitation.
"I am ashamed. The scriptures do not teach me how to supervise the army. However, the book does mention the word loyalty and righteousness. I was ordered to supervise the army. Naturally, I am familiar with the responsibility of supervising the army. If there is any disloyalty in the army, There are righteous people, and the subordinates have the right to act according to orders, but they have the right to kill first and report later." Li Huan did not give in at all, making an upward gesture.
The meaning behind these words is already very obvious. If you want to fight, just fight well. Don't think about trivial matters. After all, it is not your turn to worry about the prince's affairs. Your Majesty will naturally have His Majesty's arrangements. As for this, The arrival of the leader Han Cong is obviously to give Li Huan some encouragement. After all, the reform of using civil servants to control military forces in the court is in full swing. As for how to control military forces, it is natural to start with the largest weapon. Of course, traditionally speaking, This Lu Xun can no longer be regarded as a complete military general, and he even prefers the princes who can separate one side. If he were not loyal to Sun Quan in his heart, it would only take a minute for him to secede territory and become independent. Of course, the bad thing is that he is Lu Xun. He was neither the ambitious Sima Yi nor Zhao Kuangyin who wanted to seize the country while he was orphaned and widowed. He had only one word of loyalty in his life. In order for Sun Quan to seize Jingzhou, he would even give up morality and loyalty to Sun Quan, and he would definitely be criticized by the Confucianists. Filial censure.
There was only one word of loyalty, but he filled it with two things: filial piety and righteousness. This kind of loyalty did not win Sun Quan's complete trust. After all, what was he doing in his life? Did he ever go back to the day when Lujiang City was destroyed in his dream? Did he think about the relatives he had tried so hard to protect at night? No one knows, but his heart was always suffering, which was what Li Xian sent him. From the beginning of the first letter, something seemed to be aroused in his heart that had been missing.
"How dare you!" Lu Xun was still thinking, but was interrupted by Ding Feng, who immediately shouted angrily at Li Huan.
"Do you know who you are facing? Your Majesty has granted you the title of Marquis of Jiangling, the Grand Governor of Wu State, and the commander-in-chief of Jingzhou's military. This is not the place for you to run wild!" Ding Feng also shouted angrily.
Unexpectedly, Li Huan was not afraid at all, and did not even retreat to face the killing intent coming from these thrashing soldiers. He said loudly: "General Ding! Are you his Majesty's general or the governor's general? I I came here to supervise the army under the order, so I naturally have the right to patrol, do you want to resist the order?"
"Okay!" Lu Xun finally spoke. After being silent for a long time, Lu Xun seemed to be unable to embarrass the so-called new top pick this time, so he immediately stepped forward to smooth things over. Unexpectedly, Li Huan didn't seem to want to stop.
"What a Marquis of Jiangling. It turns out that the Marquis's soldiers only recognize the Commander-in-Chief and not His Majesty! Your Majesty is now enlightened!" Li Huan sneered coldly.
"You..." Ding Feng wanted to step forward to speak, but was stopped by Lu Xun.
"Mr. Li, you are the number one scholar in the new department. Don't get along with these big guys. They are accustomed to it in the military and it is difficult to correct them. Please forgive me!" Lu Xun obviously came here with Xiaomian in his arms.
Li Huan did not answer. Lu Xun had no choice but to say: "Come here, General Ding was drunk and bumped into the supervisor. As a punishment, he is not allowed to drink alcohol today and will be detained for half a day."
Ding Feng was a little stunned, and looked angrily at the sergeant who came up, "Don't touch me, I'll do it myself!" Then he walked out with his head held high, but he cursed: "Villain! Villain!"
"In that case, can Mr. Li rest assured?" Lu Xun asked cautiously.
Even though he was fighting outside, news from the capital could be conveyed. At least he knew that the status of the number one scholar in the capital was very high. After all, the remaining two hundred or so scholars were all officials, either delegated to foreign officials, or to Beijing officials, and the imperial power of the Zhang family, the Bu family, and the Gu family began to be gradually eliminated, but the Lu family remained silent, so they sent out the champion supervisory army.
"Report! Governor, Li Xian retreated from Changsha. He said that he was very happy after reading your reply. He said that he would follow the consensus and Changsha would be returned to the Governor. He also said that he and the Governor sympathized with each other and it was not easy to continue the fight. After all, the two countries still have to work together to defeat Cao."
Lu Xun nodded and said: "Go down, I know this."
"What was written in the Governor's letter?" Li Huan and Ling Tong asked curiously at the same time.
"Without him, what I wrote to General Guan in the past is now written to Li Xian in a different way." Lu Xun smiled slyly.
"Could it be that the Commander-in-Chief is using the arrogant soldier strategy again?" Li Huan and Ling Tong said almost at the same time.
"Exactly!" Lu Xun nodded.
This is also true. Are Li Xian's troops still using the arrogant tactics now? Is it useful? Ever since Changsha was defeated, Quan Cong surrendered, Sun Shao was captured, and it can even be said that after he came back from killing Zhang He from the north, everyone felt that their troops were the best in the world. Now, if another arrogant strategy is used, I'm afraid It was even harder to contain his arrogance. It had to be said that Lu Xun's sense of smell for fighter jets was absolutely sensitive and unique.
"Now that the Shu army has successfully negotiated peace, it will inevitably retreat. I predict that they are on their way home at this moment, and they are singing and dancing and have no intention of fighting. I will follow the old strategy of Han Xin to kill him in Yiling!" Lu Xun slammed the map on the table and stood up suddenly, his voice filled with irrefutable force.
Li Huan had never seen Lu Xun's tone and eyes before, but Ling Tong had seen it, Ding Feng had seen it before, and all the generals and lieutenants in the tent had seen it. It was so powerful that it was hard to imagine that such a jade-faced scholar was a top-notch soldier.
"No matter how brave Li Xian is, can he still be braver than King Xiang in the past?" Lu Xun asked noncommittally. Apparently, the soldiers inside and outside the tent burst out with an unprecedented fighting spirit from the bottom of their hearts, and they were just waiting for Lu Xun's military order.
