Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 847
Lu Xun originally wanted to ask Zhuge Jin what he had done that was 'unreasonable', and why King Wu always spoke with a stick in his mouth.

Lu Xun had only walked a dozen steps when he heard hurried footsteps behind him. He turned around and found that it was Sima Shi, Sun Quan's adopted son.

"Great governor." Master Sima bowed in salute.

"What's the matter, Mr. Sima?" Lu Xun replied.

Master Sima cupped his hands and bowed again: "You should know that foster father and Lantian have a deep grievance. He is worried about the war ahead, so he is a little irritable. If there is any negligence just now, please don't take it to heart."

Lu Xun was startled when he heard this, and couldn't help but admire Master Sima, thinking that it was remarkable for him to say this sentence at such a young age, and then formally bowed in return.

Thinking back to how similar he was to this young man when he was young, his family also escaped disaster in Jiangdong, but unfortunately the foundation of the Lu family was not damaged, and the Sima family only had this root in front of them, what a miserable word.

"What did Mr. Sima say? Lu Xun is just a courtier, how dare he bear the reprimand of the king? Since ancient times, loyal ministers have violated Yan Zhizhi, but it is not a big deal. I just feel that Jiangdong is in decline and should not continue to take risks." Lu Xun shook his head and smiled wryly.

Sima Shi sighed, and then said softly: "The situation in Jiangdong is already like this, and the father-in-law wants to change it. I often talk with him until late at night, and I know all kinds of worries about the father-in-law. Now Cao Liu is strong and Jiangdong is weak. Liu Bei The rumors of proclaiming himself emperor are getting more and more intense, if it really develops into that kind of situation, there will be two emperors in this world, and the life of foster father will be even more difficult in the future."

Lu Xun frowned, and continued to shake his head: "Cao Pi let Liu Bei seize Guanzhong, and his hegemony has become irresistible. In fact, he should compromise and keep silent between the Cao and Liu families. Wouldn't it be safer to be a fisherman who fights with a snipe and a clam? Even if we can really occupy Jiaozhou and Jingnan, Liu Bei will definitely take it back after he recovers, and it will not hurt the opponent's foundation at all."

"It can hurt a little bit, right? At least Cao Pi will never sit idly by if Guan Yu's food supply is cut off. Does the governor have a better way?" Sima Shi asked suspiciously.

"It's done, what's the point?" Lu Xun said bitterly.

"My nephew sincerely asks for advice, and I hope the governor will sincerely teach me." Master Sima bowed again.

Lu Xun hurriedly supported the other party, and reminded him with a frown, "Mr. Sima is the son-in-law of the king, so don't mess with your seniority."

"Uh, I was rude, please give me your advice." Sima Shi smiled awkwardly. He remembered that Lu Xun had married Sun Ce's daughter, and he thought of Lu Xun's marriage to Sun Ce's daughter. He thought of Lu Xun's marriage with her.

Lu Xun replied indifferently: "I don't dare to take a good way, but I just suggest that the king wait for the right time. When Cao Cao was alive, the Wei State was strong. Unfortunately, after his death, the order was broken. Cao Pi not only wants to win over the hearts of the officials, but also guard against Cao Zhi. , Cao Zhang and other clans were covetous, so they were defeated by Liu Bei one after another.

On the contrary, Liu Bei's situation is similar. The fierce generals who fought against the world with Liu Bei are all old. If they can survive those heroes in troubled times, and their sons succeed to the throne, they will face the same problem as Cao Pi. How can the powerful officials not fight for power and profit?The king only made a move at that time, I don't think it's too late at all, and it will be much safer. "

"The chief governor's trick is forbearance?" Sima Shixin said this idea, why did I feel familiar.

"To be precise, it's waiting for the right time." Lu Xun corrected Master Sima.

Sima Shi nodded in agreement: "The meaning is the same, but now the deal is done, and according to the battle reports ahead, it seems to be developing in a good direction. The governor should not be too pessimistic. Think about how to prevent Liu Bei from retaliation."

"I'll think about it carefully, but Mr. Sima came to me, isn't it just to discuss the situation in Jiangdong?" Lu Xun didn't want to listen to Mr. Sima's 'teaching', so he changed the topic away.

Master Sima nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Just now I heard from the governor that the mission was attacked. This Ruxuwu is located in the key area of ​​Huainan. Now that Soochow and Wei have resumed trade, the information from Luoyang should pass through here. You May I know the current situation of my younger brother Zhao?"

"Although Brother Ling was injured, his life is not in serious danger. He was admitted to the Forbidden Palace when he returned to Luoyang. I heard that Cao Pi took good care of him."

Lu Xun's prevarication did not satisfy Master Sima, and he asked anxiously: "I also knew about this a long time ago, but I heard that Brother Zhao injured his lower body during the attack. I don't know if Cao Pi found him after he was sent back to Luoyang. A famous doctor cured him?"

"Uh, since life is not in serious danger, it should be fine to heal." Lu Xun deliberately avoided the serious.

"I want to ask if I can still have children?" Master Sima pointed out directly.

Shaking his head one after another, he replied: "It's hard to say, but according to the latest news I got, my younger brother was sent to the silkworm room to recuperate shortly after returning to Luoyang with the mission. After he recovered, he and Gao Miao accompanied him around. "(Jamsil, the environment in the room is airtight, and a fire is made to keep the room temperature. In ancient times, prisoners who were tortured in the palace were not allowed to blow the wind, so they had to enter the Jamsil for preservation.)
"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, for telling me, and I'm leaving." Master Sima clasped his fists in thanks, turned around with a grim expression on his face, he had originally hoped that there would be a famous doctor in Luoyang, but now there is no hope, if he wants to continue the Sima family's blood, he can only work hard and get married His wife and grandson Luban.

Sun Luban is the eldest daughter of Sun Quan, and she also went to Wu County with her father to pay homage to Wu Guotai. Just work harder every day.

Lu Xun looked at Master Sima's back, gently brushed his beard and said to himself: "I am very patient, this son is definitely not a fish in a pond, but unfortunately the burden is too heavy."

The four generals, Sun Song, Zhu Huan, Zhu Ju, and Quan Cong each carried their warships, representing the military strength of the Sun clan and the Jiangdong gentry, and rushed to Pingxiang to support Lu Fan's battle day and night.

Hundreds of warships sailed slowly into Ruxu and entered the west of the Yangtze River, and then went upstream from Penglize (Poyang Lake) against the Ganshui River. In the end, more than [-] people docked at Xingan. The Nanshui River leading to Yichun was not dredged. Warships are easy to run aground in it, which in turn affects the transport of grain by water transport boats to the front line.

On August [-]th, Ruxuwu's reinforcements arrived in Pingxiang City, and Lu Fan's army increased to more than [-], and his confidence instantly became sufficient.

The two armies confronted each other for nearly 20 days, and Lan Ji went to fight with the youth battalion every two days. There was no general on Lu Fan's side who dared to fight, so he could only mobilize soldiers with low morale to win quickly with numbers.

When Lan Ji encountered few soldiers, he fought for a while, and when there were many soldiers, he went back to the camp to rest. During this period, the Wu army in Pingxiang was restless, and their morale remained at a low level for a long time.

"Sir, Lu Fan's reinforcements have arrived today, and I believe an attack will be launched soon." Song Chen reported the latest military situation.

Lan Tian frowned and said, "Sun Quan's reinforcements are coming so quickly. The battalions are ordered to stick to Dazhai from now on. Without my general order, they are not allowed to fight. We only need to withstand Lu Fan's onslaught for a few rounds, and then we can slowly start to counterattack. "

"only."
