Chapter 205 Lu Xun was ordered in danger

"Who can stop Zhuge Liang?" Sun Quan said in despair.

He sent all the eight generals of the Wu State, as well as Lu Su, the current leader of civil officials. At the same time, the front line of the Wu State was not less than that of Zhuge Liang, and he was still in a defender with natural advantages. However, he was still defeated by the Chu army led by Zhuge Liang. He suffered numerous defeats.

How can we resist Zhuge Liang?

Sun Quan felt weak all over, his feet were weak, and he couldn't even stand up. In other words, he was young and had good physical fitness, and as a politician, his psychological quality was also good, otherwise he would have been vomited blood.

When the Guotai heard that Jiujiang County was defeated, Han Dang was killed in battle. He was shocked and staggered for a moment, his face turned pale and could no longer sit still. She hurriedly found Sun Quan and asked about the specific situation.

Knowing that the situation was extremely bad, Guo Tai hurriedly asked Sun Quan: "The King of Qin is strong, can't he send troops to force the Chu army to retreat and save my Wu Kingdom?" Since marrying his daughter to Liu Yu, Guo Tai has regarded Liu Yu as a junior. He only felt that Liu Yu, as the son-in-law of Wu Kingdom, had to help Wu Kingdom overcome difficulties no matter how he did.

Sun Quan sighed: "The Qin King was dragged down by the Yi people and Cao Cao, and he could only restrain Xiangyang. The 100,000 Chu troops on the front line of Yidu did not participate in the attack on our Wu Kingdom. To stop Zhuge Liang, he could only rely on our Wu Kingdom itself."

Guo Tai felt dizzy and after he calmed down, he said angrily: "My Wu Kingdom has been in the third generation. When Gongjin was there, Cao Cao had nearly one million troops and returned in vain. Now Gongjin has gone early, so he blames the generals for being useless. If Gongjin is still there, why would our Wu Kingdom fall into such a state? Could it be that there is no talent like Gongjin to stop Zhuge Liang?"

Sun Quan was silent for a while and said: "The King of Qin recommended Lu Xun, Yan could block Zhuge Liang, but..."

Guo Tai was shocked and immediately interrupted Sun Quan and said, "Why don't you use it since you have talents?"

Sun Quan said helplessly: "My mother doesn't know that Lu Xun is young and frivolous, and is extremely arrogant, and is just a scholar. Who knows if he is talking about Zhao Kuo on paper? How dare he use it indiscriminately!"

Guotai scolded: "I believe that the King of Qin would never want to see the demise of Wu and strengthen Liu Bei's strength. It should be reasonable for him to recommend Lu Xun. Now that the national crisis is coming, how can we hesitate? Lu Xun is young, when Gongjin first followed your brother? Then when Zhuge Liang first came out of Longzhong to follow Liu Bei? If you don't believe Lu Xun, you should also ask him to come and meet him. If you really learn something, it's not impossible to hire him to burn his boats and hire him. It's better than being at a loss now and being forced by Zhuge Liang step by step towards Jianye. The overturn of Wu is approaching."

Sun Quan's lips moved and he didn't say anything to refute. He should be brave enough to be in danger.

"Mother said it's right, that's all." Sun Quan sighed and suddenly made up his mind: "The child immediately called Lu Xun to meet him to see if he had the strategy to lead troops to fight against Zhuge Liang."

The country is temporarily at ease.

So Sun Quan asked Lu Xun to come to Jianye.

When Lu Xun arrived, Lu Su's calligraphy also arrived.

It turned out that after the great defeat, Lu Su felt deeply regretful that he did not let Lu Xun enter the tent in detail. As Lu Xun said, the camp outside the city was defeated by Zhuge Liang, and the soldiers and generals were severely damaged. Even Han Dang, a general who had become famous during the Sun Jian period, died in battle. After regretting that, he realized that Lu Xun should be truly talented and knowledgeable, so he asked Lu Xun to talk about it for several days.

As in the past, the two talked about Zhou Yu, the two talked about the world, the situation in the world, the situation in the Wu Kingdom, and the use of troops and strategies.

No matter what Lu Su proposed, Lu Xun could defend himself.

After a few days, Lu Su became more and more admiring Lu Xun's talent and knowledge. He only felt that Lu Xun had the style of Zhou Gongjin back then, and perhaps he could stand by Zhuge Liang, so he wrote to Jianye and Sun Quan to tell him.

Sun Quan did not see Lu Xun immediately, but first read Lu Su's letters. He saw that Lu Xun was praised in the letters, and also told Lu Xun that there were fatal flaws in the camp outside Jiujiang City. He expected that Zhuge Liang would attack from Han Dang's camp in advance. It was just that the generals were not new Lu Xun's frivolous words that led to the defeat of the camp outside Jiujiang City, and more than 35,000 soldiers were lost. Lu Su still guaranteed in the letter that Lu Xun's talent was no less than Zhou Yu in the past.

Sun Quan was shocked, angry and happy: "It was because of the generals who did not listen to Lu Xun's words that led to the defeat of the camp outside Jiujiang City. So Lu Xun is such a talent?" So he asked the attendant to summon Lu Xun in.

Lu Xun entered the country by the order, and cān    bài was finished.

Sun Quan didn't speak, but stared at Lu Xun with his eyes tightly for a long time before saying, "If Gu lets you be the commander-in-chief and command the troops, will you be sure to repel Zhuge Liang and protect Gu Wu from losing it?"

Lu Xun's heart thumped suddenly. It was indeed exciting. After all, he joined Sun Quan's staff office six years ago, hoping to be valued, show his talents and develop his talents and revitalize the Lu family. He was not allowed to be valued for the past six years, and he only had a position of just the same level as the county magistrate. This time, Sun Quan spoke out and wanted to be appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Wu army. He had been looking forward to it for many years, but it was impossible to say that it was not excited.

However, on the surface, Lu Xun did not show much emotional fluctuation, and he was calm, which made Sun Quan, who had been staring at him, look up a little more.

Lu Xun calmed down for a moment before suddenly laughing: "If the king trusts me, I am very sure to retreat Zhuge Liang to protect the Wu Kingdom." The tone habitually contained a lot of pride.

Sun Quan sighed secretly, maybe even those who are truly talented are proud. In the past, Liu Bei also visited Zhuge Liang three times to invite him to say he was arrogant. Zhuge Liang's arrogance was even more arrogant than Lu Xun. However, Zhuge Liang had real talents and knowledge, but he didn't know if Lu Xun also had real talents and knowledge. I just hope that there was not Zhao Kuo, Lu Xun could really protect the Wu Kingdom.

"In this way, I appointed you as the Grand Governor, commanding the troops of Wu, and repelling Zhuge Liang!" Sun Quan finally stopped hesitating and decided to appoint Lu Xun as the Grand Governor.

This is Sun Quan's helplessness and Sun Quan's courage. After all, Lu Xun was just an official position at the same level as the county magistrate. He was promoted to the Grand Commander and commanded the troops of the Wu Kingdom. The span was too large. In addition, Lu Xun had no experience in leading troops before, so he saw the flaws in Jiujiang County and predicted that Zhuge Liang's attack on the camp.

In short, Lu Xun's uncertainty is too great.

However, the Wu Kingdom was defeated continuously, and Zhuge Liang advanced step by step. The danger of national collapse was imminent. At present, the situation was only necessary to burn the boat and make a bet. If the bet wins, not only Wu Kingdom will be saved, but also can compete with Zhuge Liang's genius. Wu Kingdom will not have such an embarrassing situation in the future. Wu Kingdom, which dominates Jiangdong, is actually destroyed by Zhuge Liang's 100,000 troops. If he loses the bet, his foundation will naturally not exist for three lifetimes and Wu Kingdom will be destroyed.

"Thank you for your trust." Lu Xun thanked him and asked, "But all the generals are the ministers of the king's old and old, and I am afraid that they will not obey my orders. I want to retreat to Zhuge Liang, and I also ask the king to allow me to order all the generals to do."

Without saying a word, Sun Quan took off his sword and handed it to Lu Xun and said, "If this lonely sword does not obey the order, no matter who you are, you can kill first and then report."

Lu Xun took the sword and said: "I will live up to the king's trust!"

On that day, Sun Quan gathered all the officials and set up an altar in front of all the officials to ask Lu Xun to ascend the altar, and was appointed as the Grand Commander, and gave him a sword and seal, and ordered him to take charge of the troops of the Wu Kingdom, and to be fully responsible for fighting Zhuge Liang and defending the Wu Kingdom.

Most of the officials were frightened, and more opponents were opposed, but Sun Quan insisted on his own and tried his best to protect Lu Xun, but opponents were invalid.

Two days later, Sun Quan handed over all the more than 30,000 troops collected during this period to Lu Xun, and ordered Lu Xun to go to Jiujiang County to defend the enemy before.

Lu Xun was ordered to be in danger.

On the Jiujiang County, from Han Dang, Lu Meng and Cheng Pu, three of them, Zhuge Liang, were able to defeat Zhuge Liang's camp outside the city. Not only did Han Dang die in battle, but he also lost more than 35,000 troops. The Wu army shrank in Jiujiang County and did not dare to fight again, and just waited for Zhuge Liang to attack the city.

It is said that the Wu army initially lost more than 100,000 troops and horses, and lost a total of 60,000 troops. Now there are only more than 43,000 Wu troops left in Jiujiang County, while Zhuge Liang's Chu army is still more than 82,000, which is almost twice that of the Wu army. Even if he attacks Jiujiang County, Zhuge Liang has a great chance of breaking the city.

However, the casualties of the city were too great, and even if they could break the city, they did not have enough troops to continue to advance eastward to destroy Wu. Therefore, Zhuge Liang could not have been able to attack Jiujiang County City for any reason.

Zhuge Liang was a genius, and if he didn't attack forcefully, there would be no strategy to break the city? Of course not. Zhuge Liang had more strategies to break the city. He ordered Zhang Fei to lead 30,000 Chu troops to set up camp fifteen miles away from Jiujiang County, not to attack Jiujiang County, but only monitored the Wu army in the city. Zhuge Liang himself led the remaining 52,000 Chu troops to attack Jiujiang County, south of Jiujiang County, and prepared to bypass Jiujiang County and directly lead Jianye to destroy Wu.

This strategy is amazing. This puts the Wu army, who is hiding in Jiujiang County, into a dilemma. If he goes out of the city to intercept Zhuge Liang, he will fall into Zhuge Liang's plan and have to give up the city and fight in Zhuge Liang's field. If he doesn't leave the city, he will watch Zhuge Liang go straight to Jianye.

What can Lu Su, Huang Gai and other Wu generals do?

Why did we defend Jiujiang County? It was originally intended to prevent Zhuge Liang from destroying Wu. Now Zhuge Liang has to bypass Jiujiang County and directly penetrate Jianye. How could he remain indifferent? Even though he knew it was Zhuge Liang's plan, he had to go out of the city to intercept him.

Huang Gai said: "For generals, you can protect the country and the people, only death is the only way to die. How can you all do it?"

Just as Lu Su and the generals were preparing to leave the city to intercept Zhuge Liang, Sun Quan's document was ahead of Lu Xun to Jiujiang County, and the generals were not allowed to temporarily leave the city.

When the generals looked at the documents, they found that Sun Quan had a new commander-in-chief and would arrive in Jiujiang County soon, and be fully responsible for resisting Zhuge Liang.

"Lu Xun? Who is this?" Zhou Tai said in a daze.

The generals also looked at each other. When they knew who Lu Xun was exactly, the generals were shocked.

Lu Meng frowned and said, "Lu Xun is just a scholar who has no experience in commanding troops. Why did the king make this man the Grand Governor?" Hearing this tone, Lu Meng was obviously not convinced.

Not only Lu Meng, Huang Gai and Cheng Pu also frowned, but also Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Ling Tong, Chen Wu and other generals were also dissatisfied.

Lu Su came out at this time and said, "Everyone, although Lu Xun has no experience in commanding troops, Su thought his talent was not inferior to Gongjin in the past. Only he could stop Zhuge Liang and keep Wu State without losing it. This was Su's letter to the king for recommendation."

All the generals were shocked when they heard this.

"How can Zijing be like this? How dare the scholars and children lead troops as the chief commander."

Lu Su said: "Everyone, Su is willing to guarantee Lu Xun with his life. Moreover, the king now grants Lu Xun the order, which means that Lu Xun has already gained the trust of the king. When Wu is king, why don't you believe in the king and Su?"

The generals were still dissatisfied, but they stopped arguing, but waited for Lu Xun to arrive first.

In the afternoon, Lu Xun led his troops to Jiujiang County City, and the number of soldiers in the city reached 80,000, which was almost the same as the number of Chu troops. At the same time, Lu Xun was promoted to the tent to discuss matters, and Lu Su devoted his efforts to assist Lu Xun.

Although Huang Gai, Lu Meng, Zhou Tai and other generals were dissatisfied, the matter of Lu Xun being the Grand Governor was decided. He heard that he was wearing Sun Quan's sword, and all the generals came to congratulate him.

Lu Xun didn't talk nonsense, and held Sun Quan's sword and said, "The king ordered me to be the commander-in-chief and the commander-in-chief retreated Zhuge Liang. The army has military laws, and the public should abide by them and do not violate them. Otherwise, there will be no relatives in the military laws. The king ordered me to be executed first and then report."

All the generals were silent.

After a moment, Lu Meng said, "After a great king ordered him to be the Grand Governor, we should obey the order. Now Zhuge Liang does not attack the city, but leads most of the Chu army to attack the county town in the south, and wants to bypass Jiujiang County and take Jianye directly. Please ask the Grand Governor to use good strategies to solve this crisis."

"Please use good strategies to solve this crisis," Zhou Tai and other generals also said one after another.

This is forcing Lu Xun to come up with good strategies in person. Only real talents and knowledge can convince the generals.

Lu Xun knew this well. When Jianye came, he had already learned the situation and had a strategy and laughed and said, "It is not difficult to break this situation. Zhuge Liang divided two troops into two groups, attacking Zhuxian counties one by one, and bypassing the county seat, directly taking Jianye. He left Zhang Fei and other 30,000 Chu troops fifteen miles outside the city to monitor the soldiers in our city. At that time, our army went out of the city to attack Zhang Fei, and it would not be easy to break the village. If he went to intercept Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei would take the opportunity to seize the city, which was a dilemma!"

Jiang Qin frowned and said, "We know the dilemma, so we asked the Grand Governor how to break the deadlock. What are the nonsense about the Grand Governor?"

Lu Xun smiled and said, "To break this situation, you only need any one of you to lead three thousand troops and horses to take Chaisang directly. Zhuge Liang wanted to destroy our Wu Kingdom, and there would be very few troops and horses left behind. It would be not difficult to destroy Chaisang. At that time, Sanjiangkou will be recovered and the Chu army will become an isolated army with a broken rear. Zhuge Liang heard this news, how dare he continue to take Jianye directly? He would lead his troops back to the city of Jiujiang County. At that time, he only needed to tug-of-war with Zhuge Liang in Jiujiang County. There was no need for three months. If Zhuge Liang could not win, he would retreat."

In fact, the most wonderful thing about this strategy is to divide the troops around Zhang Fei and take Chaisang directly, and break the Chu army's retreat. The reason why Zhuge Liang divided the troops unscrupulously was to calculate the psychology of Lu Su and the generals of the Wu army, who did not dare to take the initiative to make progress in the face of losing consecutive battles in two battles, and could not have imagined this step.

After Lu Xun's words, Lu Su and the generals were enlightened. They were frightened by their previous defeat. It turned out that it was so easy to defeat Zhuge Liang's situation.

The generals followed Lu Xun's words and led 3,000 troops out of the city by Lu Meng, and bypassed Zhang Fei and took Chaisang directly.

Zhuge Liang had just easily captured three county towns and suddenly learned that a team of thousands of Wu troops left the city, but did not attack Zhang Fei's camp, but went westward. After pondering for a while, he couldn't help but sigh: "These thousands of Wu troops must be trying to take Chaisang, and my strategy is to break it!"
