Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 141 Return to Jiangling, Left and Right Commanders

Zhou Yu died, Lu Meng died, and the two great generals of Eastern Wu both died in the Battle of Jiangling.

The key figure in the Battle of Jiangling was Xing Daorong!
Just as Zhang Liao was a deterrent to the Eastern Wu, Xing Daorong was even more intimidating to the Eastern Wu.

According to Zhuge Liang's opinion, the Eastern Wu should not have the leisure to launch another war against Jingzhou, but deterrence is still necessary.

Xing Daorong doesn't need to bring too many soldiers, just send them over.

Besides, by going to Jiangling, we can also support the war in Xiangfan at any time, which is killing two birds with one stone.

So when Liu Bei replied to Zhuge Jin and demanded the cession of the three counties of Jiaozhou, Xing Daorong returned to Jiangling with a large group of people.

The reason why it was said to be a huge group of people was because Fan Yufeng and Da Qiao were following Xing Daorong closely.

...

"Madam, Jiangling is also considered a front line. If a war breaks out, it will be very dangerous. Why don't you stay in Chengdu so that I can be at ease?"

On the way, Xing Daorong continued to persuade the two ladies.

However, Fan Yufeng and Da Qiao obviously had no intention of giving in. Fan Yufeng just glared and said, "No! Last time, my husband promised that as long as we were not on the battlefield, he would take the two of us with him."

"A real man's words are as good as his words!"

"My husband is a man of integrity. Maybe his words don't count?"

Looks very strong
Da Qiao on the side was not to be outdone and said coldly: "My husband wants to send me back to Chengdu, why not ask me to go back to Jiangdong, so that I can be closer to my husband."

Xing Daorong didn't react to this, but Zhuge Jin, who was listening on the bench, couldn't help but look over.

"If Da Qiao really returns to Jiangdong now, it will simply add fuel to the fire!"

While thinking this in his mind, Zhuge Jin also knew that this was just a joke between the couple and should not be taken seriously.

Unexpectedly, Xing Daorong suddenly said, "Come to think of it, you haven't been back since you came to Jingzhou. Do you want to go back and take a look?"

Da Qiao was stunned when she heard this, but was immediately moved.

It's rare to find someone who cares so much about his wife these days.

How could she pretend to be so cold? She said softly, "What are you talking about, my husband? Since I'm married, I naturally don't have to talk about my family."

When Fan Yufeng saw that Da Qiao was "disappointed" by her husband's words, she couldn't help rolling her eyes.

But she quickly stopped the "pink bubble" atmosphere between the two and said, "Anyway, my husband, don't try to cheat!"

Xing Daorong was helpless, but said to the two of them: "Yes, your husband will not cheat!"

Only then did Fan Yufeng and Da Qiao cheer and, on either side, gave Xing Daorong a sweet kiss.

Zhuge Jin felt uncomfortable watching this.

Especially Mrs. Qiao, who smiled sweetly, was hot and cold, and looked like a young girl.
When I was in Jiangdong, where had I ever seen Mrs. Qiao like this?

The difference is too big.

It's true. There are differences in every aspect.
Zhuge Jin sighed inwardly, but finally felt somewhat powerless.

...

All the way to Jiangling, Zhuge Jin and Zhou Tai naturally parted ways.

Since Xing Daorong was here, he naturally had to see them off.

It’s just that because of the difference in closeness, Xing Daorong naturally talked more with Zhou Tai.

After giving them a few more words of advice, he sent the two of them back to Jiangdong from the shore.

Wujun.

When Sun Quan heard from Zhuge Jin that Liu Bei demanded the cession of two counties in Jiaozhou, his head was buzzing.

I clenched my fists, but couldn't say no.

The current situation in Jiangdong is really bad, and the aristocratic families are putting a lot of pressure on him.

They even raised serious doubts about the candidates for several governors-general, and demanded that Lu Xun, who also came from a noble family, be nominated as the next governor-general!
Lu Xun.
It is said that he has some ability, but Sun Quan is unwilling to do so because of the pressure from his family members!
Besides, Lu Xun was only 28 years old, not yet old enough to take on such a big responsibility! Sun Quan wanted to re-employ Lu Su.

However, the pressure from the aristocratic families was too great, so Lu Meng's successor was never determined.

There's no point in dragging this matter on.

The news that Zhuge Jin brought back directly triggered the incident.

"Lord Wu, this is absolutely unacceptable!"

"Today I will cede one city, tomorrow I will cede ten cities, and then I can sleep peacefully for one night. I get up and look around, and the Jing army is here again!"

"We should raise troops to respond!"

"We recommend Lu Xun and Lu Boyan to lead the troops to resist the troops of Jingzhou!"

Upon hearing the news brought by Zhuge Jin, the Eastern Wu noble families such as Gu Yong, Zhu Huan, and Quan Cong demanded that Lu Xun be appointed as the commander-in-chief to lead the troops to resist.

However, the more the Jiangdong noble families pressed him, the more unwilling Sun Quan became.

He felt that if he gave up his military power, he would be completely sidelined.

He just shook his head and said, "Lu Xun is too young to be responsible for such a big task! Besides, if we continue to fight against Liu Bei, it would be a waste of time and effort, which is not appropriate."

"I want to renew my friendship with Liu Bei and make Lu Su the Grand Commander."

In fact, Lu Su's family was quite powerful, but after all, they were not from the same group as the traditional Jiangdong family.

Gu Yongshang did not send troops to Yuzhang this time, and was scolded by Xu Sheng and Dong Xi. Naturally, he was the one who opposed it most fiercely this time.

But he cried out: "No! Zhou Yu and Lu Meng were both defeated, and Lu Su succeeded them. How can we deal with Liu Bei again?"

"The correct approach is to appoint Lu Xun as the governor!"

Zhu Huan and Quan Cong on the side immediately reconsidered the matter.

Lu Ji and Gu Shao also stepped forward and said, "What the governor said is correct. Please think twice, Lord Wu!"

Speaking of which, Lu Ji, Gu Shao and Quan Cong did have friendship with Xing Daorong in the past, but the bond between them had long been severed due to, firstly, the breaking of the alliance between Sun Quan and Liu Bei, and, secondly, the death of Pang Tong.

But now seeing that Xing Daorong was becoming more and more powerful and had directly defeated Zhou Yu and Lu Meng, these people began to recall their friendship back then.

Some of them have even sent letters to reminisce about the past.

But Xing Daorong couldn't stay in a quiet place for a whole day, and he really didn't receive any letter.

Only Gu Yong, Zhu Huan, Quan Cong, Lu Ji, and Gu Shao.
Just facing so many people, it was really difficult for Sun Quan to say "no" again and again!
Although I was unwilling in my heart, I could only endure it.

To put it bluntly, without the support of the aristocratic families, there would be no money or food, and Sun Quan would not be able to do it alone.

After a moment's silence, Sun Quan finally compromised.

But he said: "As for the candidates for the governor, Lu Su and Lu Xun are both suitable. Since everyone has their own candidates in mind... I want to appoint left and right governors, with Lu Su as the left governor and Lu Xun as the right governor."

"Lu Su led troops to Jingzhou, and Lu Xun led troops to Hefei, respectively."

Left and right governors...

Isn’t this a mess!
Zhuge Jin became anxious upon hearing this and was about to persuade him again.

Unexpectedly, Sun Quan had already made up his mind and directly shouted: "The three counties of Jiaozhou are remote, so give them to Liu Bei!"

"This matter is settled. Lu Su and Lu Xun will be the left and right commanders. They will share my worries in the future!"

The Shi family was quite satisfied with this.

Left and right commanders?

For them, there is only one commander-in-chief, Lu Xun!
He immediately bowed and responded.

As for the other generals, seeing the situation, they could no longer persuade them and could only agree first...

PS: Thanks to boss Xue Yuhan for the reward, I became the first helmsman of this book. I sat up in shock from my dying illness, and I didn’t want to sleep anymore, I wrote a book!
