So Lu Xun was summoned. At that time, Lu Xun got the news that Yuyi's army was coming down the mountain, and was preparing to send troops to resist. He sent additional soldiers to add some flammable materials and prepared a fire that burned Yuyi until he never returned. As a result, as soon as he walked out of the gate, he received an order from Soochow. Lu Xun had no choice but to let others take his place and leave with the envoy. Lu Xun's real name was Lu Yi. Lu Xun later changed his name to Boyan. He was a native of Wu County. He was the grandson of Hancheng gate captain Lu Yu and the son of Jiujiang captain Lu Jun. He was eight feet tall and had a face as beautiful as jade. A very typical Confucian scholar. After taking Jingzhou, he was appointed by King Wu as General Zhenxi, responsible for guarding Jingzhou.
Soon Lu Xun arrived and met with Sun Quan. Sun Quan said: "Now that the Shu army has invaded the territory, I specially sent you as the governor to take charge of the troops of Soochow to resist Liu Bei."
Lu Xun bowed and said, "I'm afraid it's not just Liu Bei who has to resist now, but also Yu Yi!"
Sun Quan was very surprised after hearing this and said, "I heard that Yu Yi declared war on the Central Plains and was preparing to attack Fancheng. Why did he attack Soochow again?"
He replied: "When I was guarding Xiangyang, I got news that Yu Yi was leading the army to climb Jingshan Mountain. By the time I left, Yu Yi had already sent Xiaoli and Huang Mochou as the front troops to rush down the mountain."
Sun Quan shook his head and said: "Now Xiangyang is in danger!"
Lu Xun consoled him: "Before I left, I had ordered the Xiangyang garrison to guard the key road and prepared fire starters. Yu Yi led the soldiers down the mountain, which must have consumed a lot of energy. The Shu army came from a long way and was exhausted. It was just right. Destroy the enemy army."
After hearing this, Sun Quan felt relieved and sighed in his heart that his decision to appoint Lu Xun was extremely correct.
Lu Xun saw the joy on Sun Quan's face and continued: "Thanks to the trust of the King of Wu, however, the civil and military forces in Jiangdong are all the king's former ministers. I am still young, so I am afraid I cannot lead."
Sun Quan said: "Someone has vouched for you with the lives of his whole family. I also know you very well and know your talents, so I specially want to make you the governor, so don't refuse!"
Lu Xun was very happy after hearing this. He suppressed his inner joy and said, "But I don't agree, what should I do?"
Sun Quan personally handed his sword to Lu Xun and said: "If there is anyone who does not obey your orders, kill them first and then punish them!"
After hearing this, Lu Xun was very moved. He bowed and said, "Thanks to the great trust of King Wu, I will do my best. However, I have a request. I hope King Wu will wait until tomorrow to summon all the civil and military ministers and personally give me the sword. And let everyone know.”
Kan Ze said: "In ancient times, when appointing a general, you must build a high altar, hand over the military talisman, and then salute. The king should also follow this etiquette, choose a good day, build the high altar, worship Lu Xun as the governor, and hold the festival ax. Then Everyone will not be dissatisfied."
Sun Quan followed this suggestion and sent people to build the high altar overnight. On the second day, he summoned all civil and military officials and invited Lu Xun to ascend the altar. He was worshiped as the Grand Governor and the General of the Right Guard Army to Zhenxi. He was named the Marquis of Lou and was rewarded with a sword. He Yinshou took control of all the troops and horses in the 81 states of the six counties of Soochow and Jingzhou, and said: "I will make the decision on internal affairs, and the generals will decide on external operations."
Lu Xun received the order and came down from the altar, sent Xu Sheng and Ding Feng as guards, and immediately sent out troops. At the same time, he mobilized people and horses on the waterway to advance by water and land, preparing for a big fight.
As soon as Lu Xun left, dense flying kites appeared on Xiangyang City, covering most of the originally bright sky. People came out to watch one after another. Some even shouted: "The monster is coming, everyone run away!"
As a result, the soldiers who originally guarded Xiangyang were also very frightened. Many soldiers fled one after another, and the defense force weakened sharply. The city wall was the highest point in Xiangyang City, and it was basically possible to see clearly what was on the kite. Only one soldier was heard pointing to the sky. Another soldier said: "Look at the sky, there seems to be someone on that thing."
The soldier looked up and saw what seemed to be a human figure on the kite. When he took a closer look, a bow and arrow had already shot down from the sky, killing him.
Upon seeing this, other soldiers prepared to alert the people around them, but at a glance, all the surrounding soldiers were shot dead.
According to the wind speed, Huang Shumin took off with her soldiers and horses from the top of the Jingshan cliff. She quickly flew the kite to the sky above Xiangyang City. Then she fired arrows at the active forces on the ground, quickly defeating the defense force of Xiangyang City. Then she controlled the kite to suffer the wind resistance. Angle, slowly landed in Xiangyang City.
The sky became bright again, and the people could see the shape of the kite clearly. Huang Shumin was the last one to land. While hovering in the sky, she shouted: "Common soldiers in Xiangyang City, listen, as long as you are willing to surrender, our king will forget about it. If you resist, you will be dealt with severely!"
When the people saw Huang Shumin landing from the sky, she was extremely dashing, with long flowing hair, and extraordinary beauty. They all shouted: "The goddess has descended to earth!" while shouting and kneeling at the scene.
Huang Shumin ordered the soldiers to put away the kites and conduct a search of Xiangyang City to eliminate all the remaining forces. She then walked to the top of the city wall. As soon as they climbed onto the city wall, they saw a Dongwu soldier who had been shot in the back by a bow and arrow and was preparing to escape not far away. Huang Shumin shot an arrow and hit the soldier's head.
This battle was very spectacular. Rivers of blood flowed on the Xiangyang city wall. Of the five thousand soldiers and horses left behind, more than two thousand were captured. As for Huang Shumin, more than a thousand were sacrificed because some soldiers did not master the skills of using kites. There were only 19,000 people who actually entered Xiangyang City. While she assigned 9,000 people to guard Xiangyang, continue to maintain the order of Xiangyang City and appease the people, she personally led the remaining 10,000 soldiers and horses outside the city.
On the way, Huang Shumin caught some important figures among the prisoners for interrogation, and learned of Xiangyang's plan. A large number of soldiers were stationed on the only road from Jingshan to Xiangyang to ambush. Along the way, Huang Shumin found someone missing on the road. There were a lot of weeds and there was a faint smell of some alcohol.
Huang Shumin continued to interrogate, and it turned out that not only was it an ambush, but Xiangyang had also prepared some fire-starting materials, preparing to lure the Shu army to a designated location and then burn it all down.
Huang Shumin was very angry after hearing this. When the troops approached the ambush area, a pair of daggers slashed the prisoner's neck and killed him on the spot. She stopped the troops and looked into the distance. She only saw a long and narrow mountain road leading to the mountain. She also saw that it was surrounded by grass, and she had a plan in mind.
He immediately set up camp and rewarded one of the reliable prisoners, saying: "Go and tell them that the Shu army is about to come down the mountain, and ask them to take out all the fire-kindling materials and prepare to light the fire!"
After hearing this, the prisoner nodded repeatedly and walked quickly forward.
Xiangyang City had been stationed with ambush soldiers for several days, but there had been no movement. Just when I was feeling strange, I suddenly heard that an envoy was coming to the city, and I quickly welcomed him into the camp.
