Zhu Huan was famous in Jiangdong for his courage, but his personality was even more aloof and arrogant, and he was always ashamed of others.
According to common sense, with his personality, he should have shown excitement when he heard Lu Xun said that he wanted to go to war with Mi Yang.
As a general, if you have no military exploits, how can you win high-ranking officials and generous salaries?
However, Zhu Huan had a heroic temperament and was known as a famous general of Soochow in later generations. He was obviously not an irrational person.
Zhu Huan has a clear understanding of Soochow's current military strength.
When it comes to the world, the navy of Soochow is the best. This is why the generals of Soochow can confidently rely on the Yangtze River defense line to resist the Han army.
But this advantage can only be used on defense.
Lu Xun wanted to take the initiative to attack Jingzhou, so the Wu army would naturally land.
Thus......
It's not that Zhu Huan has no faith in Wu Jun's land combat capabilities, but Zhu Huan believes that no matter how strong Wu Jun's land combat capabilities are, they will never be able to surpass the Tiance Army trained by Mi Yang.
What's more, once the Wu army lands in Jingzhou, the Han army will firmly occupy the geographical advantage.
By then, neither the people nor the geographical advantages will be on our side, so why should we take this risk?
After thinking about it, Zhu Huan handed over his hands and admonished Lu Xun:
"The thieves are tyrannical. I hope the general will think twice."
The Han army can be evaluated as tyrannical by Zhu Huan, who always has an eye on the top, and the evaluation by other Wu generals will definitely be higher.
Zhu Huan's advice was sincere, but after listening to Zhu Huan's advice, Lu Xun still didn't want to change his mind.
"I have made up my mind, no need to remonstrate."
Lu Xun directly decided to fight the Han army.
Seeing that Lu Xun was so determined, Zhu Huan could not persuade him any more.
But what Lu Xun said next shocked Zhu Huan.
"I need you to go to Jingzhou and write a letter of war to Mi Yang for me."
Lu Xun's tone was calm, but when Zhu Huan heard these words, they were like a bolt from the blue.
Zhu Huan looked at Lu Xun with disbelief, and he murmured subconsciously:
"General, your two families have been friends for generations!"
Your aunt, or my aunt!
Zhu Huan couldn't believe that with such a close relationship, Lu Xun actually wanted to send him to die.
Is Zhu Huan too sensitive?
Thinking of Chidi Baili outside Gong'an City, and remembering that Mi Yang had publicly insulted Sun Quan several times, Zhu Huan felt that his suspicion was not groundless.
Based on Mi Yang's disgust for Jiang Dong and his provocative behavior in issuing a declaration of war, Zhu Huan believed that once he arrived in front of Mi Yang, he would probably throw him into a cauldron and cook him.
How could Zhu Huan not be nervous?
His life has just begun!
Zhu Huan looked at Lu Xun with pleading eyes, hoping that he would change his mind, but to his disappointment, Lu Xun did not change his mind.
"Don't worry, I promise Mi Yang will not hurt you."
"I also promise you that after you return safely, I will hand over the Jiefan Army to your hands."
The first half of Lu Xun's assurance did not really reassure Zhu Huan.
But the second half of Lu Xun's words successfully aroused Zhu Huan's interest.
Jie Fanjun?
Zhu Huan knew the origin of this army.
The predecessor of the Jiefan Army was the pro-army of the former Wu Hou Sun Ce. If Sun Ce could recruit him as a pro-army, its combat effectiveness must be extraordinary.
It can be said that the Jie Fan Army has always been a sharp blade for Jiangdong, and who among the generals would not want to master such a sharp blade?
If he could hold the Jie Fan Army in his own hands, Zhu Huan knew that his status in Soochow would be greatly improved.
When he thought of this, the uneasy look on Zhu Huan's face disappeared instantly.
Zhu Huan clasped his fists at Lu Xun again with a solemn expression:
"General, please don't worry. It's just a small area. What should I fear?"
Zhu Huan's rapid change of attitude was unexpected by Lu Xun.
Having an extraordinary personal relationship with Zhu Huan, he knew that Zhu Huan never lacked the spirit of adventure, but he just needed to give him some encouragement.
Then Lu Xun nodded and said:
"After I write the declaration of war, I will order someone to notify you."
...
Mi Yang didn't know yet that Lu Xun was about to issue a letter of war to him.
Having just dealt with Li Yan's matter, he turned his attention to another matter.
On the official road outside Xiangyang City, a heavily guarded team was driving.
And this team was protecting Mi Yang, who went out to inspect the spring plowing in person.
In the car in the middle of the team, Mi Yang leaned against the railing, looking at the people working in the fields below, and then said to a young man beside him:
"You have been in Jingzhou for a few years. In your opinion, how does the farmland in Jingzhou compare with that in Jiangdong?"
After hearing Mi Yang's question, the young man hesitated to speak.
Who is this young man and can he travel in the same car with Mi Yang?
He was none other than Sun Deng, who was sent to Jingzhou as a hostage by Sun Quan.
It's just that time has changed, and now Sun Deng is no longer Sun Quan's son. Instead, he has transformed into the Han Dynasty's Marquis of Wu.
I think only Sun Deng could understand the pain inside.
When Mi Yang saw that Sun Deng didn't answer him, he let out a light sigh and said:
"Um?"
Seeing that Mi Yang was not happy, Sun Dengcai slowly replied:
"Jiangdong has thousands of acres of fertile land. Although Jingzhou has a lot of fertile land, it is still inferior."
After hearing Sun Deng's answer, Mi Yang nodded thoughtfully.
He didn't think that Sun Deng was exaggerating Jiangdong's strength.
After all, although Mi Yang didn't know much about the agricultural conditions in various regions of China during the Three Kingdoms period in his previous life, he did know one fact:
"No matter how many troops are dispatched, Jiangdong will never retreat due to a shortage of food and grass."
This is probably unique even in the entire history of the Three Kingdoms.
If Zhuge Liang had such conditions in history, why would he be exhausted to death?
Then Mi Yang thought that Sun Quan had captured Huainan, and Huainan had been an important grain-producing area in China since ancient times.
With the combination of Huainan and Jiangdong, it seems that the strength of Sun Wu today is not much different from that of Sun Wu who occupied Jingzhou in history.
Thinking of this, Mi Yang continued to say to Sun Deng beside him:
"A few days ago, Gu Zeng asked you to write a letter to Mr. Zhang and send it to Jianye. I wonder how you have considered this matter?"
Seeing Mi Yang mention this matter again, Sun Deng's expression suddenly became solemn.
He was still a young man when he entered Jingzhou.
The several years of proton career not only allowed him to grow up into an adult, but his mind also received considerable experience.
This made it easy for Sun Deng to see what a series of consequences would happen when his letter was sent to Jianye.
"You, you will kill Mr. Zhang."
Even though he was afraid of Mi Yang, Sun Deng still expressed his concerns.
After hearing Sun Deng's concerns, Mi Yang couldn't help but laugh.
He was laughing at Sun Deng's naivety.
It is true that Sun Deng's mind has been greatly tempered over the past few years, but he still seems to have overlooked one thing.
He slowly turned around and looked at Sun Deng with deep eyes. Then he put one of his hands gently on Sun Deng's shoulder:
"I admire Duke Zhang very much.
But if Zhang Gong is not dead, why will there be chaos in Jiangdong?
Remember that you can survive to this day because you are a great man named Wuhou.
Gu Gu never likes to force others, but Gu hopes that you don’t think that Gu is discussing with you.”
