Lu Meng held up his hand and said: "This is what the Fourth Young Master Guan said. I can't be sure of it in the end, but..."

"But what?"

"The Governor seems quite certain!"

"Why?" Sun Quan asked in rapid succession.

Lu Meng answered truthfully: "The Governor and the Fourth Young Master Guan hit it off immediately. The two only chatted in the awning for half a quarter of an hour, and the Governor believed everything the Fourth Young Master Guan said."

——"Is that so?"

Sun Quan's green eyes narrowed slightly. He slowly stood up from the throne, pacing, holding his chin, thinking carefully.

Lu Meng didn't dare to speak anymore and just let Sun Quan think about it.

Ten breaths, twenty breaths!

Fifty breaths, one hundred breaths!

After a long mental process, with a "clang" sound, Sun Quan pulled out his sword. This was one of the six swords he made, named "Meteor".

There is a poem in the early Tang Dynasty praising this sword - "Red Earth Meteor Sword, Bird-Horned Moon Bow!"

And as the "Meteor Sword" came out of its shell, Sun Quan seemed to have made a decision.

"Gu Xin Zijing..."

He immediately ordered: "Give me the order to summon all the generals immediately for the Northern Expedition to Hefei... I want to conquer it myself! What I lost before, I will take back all this time!"

Ah...ah...

As soon as he said this, Lu Meng was startled, his legs staggered, and he almost fell over.

——It was just as Guan Lin expected.

For a time, all Guan Lin's words echoed in Lu Meng's mind.

——"Secondly, this kind of battle can be won even with a dog tied up and in command. However, the person in charge last time was your lord, the Marquis of Wu... Let me tell you first, I, Guan Lin, am not targeting anyone, let alone bragging.

It’s not black. Let you, Marquis Wu, take command. In my opinion, it’s really better than tying up a dog!”

Well…

Lu Meng felt a little embarrassed.

He thought to himself:

——"Wu Hou, please, this time...just tie up the dog!"

With this thought in his mind, Lu Meng naturally did not dare to say so. He quickly replied in Lu Su's words: "My Lord... why not listen to the Governor's proposal first?"

Sun Quan raised his eyes and murmured in his mind, what is there to suggest?

He stretched out his hand to signal Lu Meng to speak.

Lu Mengze spoke eloquently: "The governor said that commanding troops is different from governing a country, and governing a country is different from strategy. Xiao He may not be able to win thousands of miles within a guard; Han Xin may not be able to cut off the supply of food; Zhang Liang may not be able to unite millions of people.

, The battle must be won, the attack must be captured! Although my lord is born in the Chu land, he can become a king and overlord. He should imitate the great ancestor, not the overlord of Chu!"

"--this…"

As Lu Meng recited these words from the Grand Governor Lu Su, Sun Quan's eyes suddenly narrowed. How could he not understand...the meaning of these words?

Although Zijing's words were subtle enough, Sun Quan also felt extremely heartbroken!

His eyebrows were raised, as if he was a little angry.

But Lu Meng lowered his head, not daring to take a breath.

"Is this what Zijing said?"

"yes…"

Following Lu Meng's response, Sun Quan shook his head helplessly, "Zijing is saying that I am not good at commanding troops, so I shouldn't be in command, and I shouldn't go on an expedition!"

"Perhaps... the Governor thinks there is no point in killing a chicken with a bull's knife?" Lu Meng advised...

It’s just that these words are false no matter how you hear them.

Sun Quan pondered for another moment, bit his lower lip, put the Meteor Sword back into its scabbard, and turned around.

"Gu Zhizijing has good intentions...but this time, Gu has decided to personally lead the Northern Expedition!"

"Gu's father is known as the Tiger of Jiangdong, and Gu's eldest brother is known as the Little Overlord of Jiangdong? But to Gu... If Gu can't personally lead the army to conquer Hefei, how will future generations evaluate Gu? I'm afraid Gu's head won't be able to lift it even if it takes a thousand years or even ten thousand years.

?What's more... Hefei is Gu's nightmare, and I want to tear this nightmare to pieces myself."

Sun Quan's tone was firm...

But the more determined he was, the more thick a layer of gloom cast over Lu Meng's mood.

He kept muttering in his mind.

——"Why is it so difficult to tie up a dog and go to Hefei?"

Maybe it was influenced by Guan Lin's words, maybe... Sun Quan's command had this image in Lu Meng's mind, and Lu Meng felt that he was so tired.

"There is no need for Ziming to say more. He passed the imperial edict of Gu and ordered Gan Ning, Ling Tong, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Dong Xi, Pan Zhang, Xu Sheng, and Zhu Huan to each take their own troops and set off for the expedition immediately! Order Zhang Zhao to raise funds.

forage!"

Uh...this...

Lu Meng suddenly felt like he was a loser again. He knew that... with this attitude, he probably couldn't persuade the lord anymore, so he simply changed the topic.

"Lord..."

"If Ziming is trying to persuade you, don't say anything more." Sun Quan turned his back, looking aloof.

"No..." Lu Meng said quickly: "The general wants to say, can... My lord orders troops, and the two generals Gan Ning and Ling Tong can only choose one."

"Why?" Sun Quan was completely unaware of the seriousness of the problem.

Lu Meng sighed inwardly.

——"My lord, my lord, I have already reminded you of this, but you still haven't thought about it, how can you lead the army?"

Immediately, Lu Meng continued, "The two generals Gan Ning and Ling Tong... have the hatred of killing their father, if..."

"Oh..." Sun Quan suddenly realized, "I was negligent."

He waved his hand, "Then just go with Gan Ning! Let Ling Tong stay in Jianye City."

"Here——"

Lu Meng accepted the order with his hand, turned around immediately, and planned to send a message and mobilize troops.

But suddenly he thought of something again, and immediately turned around again, slightly arching his hands.

"What's the matter? Does anyone else have a deep grudge?" Sun Quan stared at Lu Meng.

"No..." Lu Meng said quickly: "The general wants the lord to pay attention to a person and investigate a family..."

"who?"

"One of the four major families in Wu County, the Lu family, Lu Xun!" Lu Meng's eyes suddenly became gloomy, and he lowered his voice, "When the general was talking to Guan Yunqi, he actually blurted out that the general was building something for the lord."

The only people who know about Lu Cheng's matter are the general, the lord, and that..."

Don't wait for Lu Meng to say anything.

Sun Quan's green eyes suddenly showed a flash of awe-inspiring light.

"You mean, Lu Boyan has collusion with the Guan family?"

"If it's just collusion with the Guan family... that's fine." Lu Meng said lightly, "I'm afraid that the Lu family of Wu County has collusion with Guan Yunchang..."

this…

Sun Quan shivered violently all over.

You must know that Lu Xun holds the Shanyue Army, which is the most capable army in Jiangdong, and the Lu family has businesses and acres all over Jiangdong. If Lu Xun has evil intentions, and the Lu family has evil intentions... then...

"Ziming."

Sun Quan's words suddenly became serious, and he patted Lu Meng's shoulders with both hands, "This time you don't have to go to Hefei with Gu. I want you to investigate, so you can investigate the Lu family for Gu. Check."

This Lu Boyan, there is no sand in his eyes!"

"Here -" Lu Meng held up his hands, his eyes becoming more gloomy.

Almost at the same time…

Lu Xun, who was hundreds of miles away in Diplomatic State, suddenly sneezed.

"Ah sneeze——"

That familiar feeling came again.

Lu Xun felt as if there was a dark wind, quietly, quietly entering through the gaps in his clothes, and penetrated into his back, making him feel a chill.

It was so cold... it was like someone stabbed him in the back quietly!

And the knife is getting closer...
