Chapter 709: Preemptive strike, Lu Xun breaks the situation

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Lu Xun's sudden anger startled Xu Sheng.

Xu Sheng had followed Lu Xun for several years. In his impression, Lu Xun had always been a commander with a gentle personality.

In the past, it was extremely rare for Lu Xun to speak harshly to others, let alone curse them.

So what happened to the general today?

Is it just because Zhu Huan didn't keep his mouth shut after drinking?

But if Zhu Huan had not falsely conveyed Lu Xun's order, then in Xu Sheng's view, Zhu Huan's drunken nonsense was nothing.

Jiangdong is located in the south, and its customs and customs are more open than those in the Central Plains, and there are not as many taboos.

Not to mention Zhu Huan, even Sun Quan, a monarch, often said some stupid things after drinking.

But over time, don’t everyone get used to it?

While Xu Sheng was shocked, a look of confusion also appeared on his face.

After seeing Xu Sheng's confused look, Lu Xun became even more angry.

"Do you think Zhu Huan's drunken remarks were a family affair?

He is harming the country!"

The angry Lu Xun directly accused Zhu Huan of harming the country.

Lu Xun's performance made Xu Sheng a little overwhelmed.

Seeing that Xu Sheng still couldn't understand the power inside, Lu Xun temporarily calmed down his anger and explained to Xu Sheng:

"Why should I plan to hand over the Jiefan soldiers to Zhu Huan's hands?"

After saying this, Lu Xun directly picked out a pile of documents from the pile of documents on the case.

He threw the pile of documents directly on the ground, and then continued to face Xu Sheng:

"These memorials are all written by officials from all over Jiangxia to impeach Han Zong!"

"What do these dozen memorials represent?

It means that the officials in Jiangxia have reached the upper limit of their tolerance for Han Zong, and it also means that Han Zong is indeed a person with sinister thoughts!"

"I have long wanted to win Han Zong.

But before Han Gongchu passed away, and Han Zong held the military power to relieve Fan Bing, I tolerated it so far in order not to cause unrest in people's hearts and give Mi Yang an opportunity.

The son of a hero who has done evil is not scary. What is scary is that he not only holds military power but also guards important places!

What I originally thought was that after Zhu Huan returned safely, he would use the pretext of declaring war on Mi Yang to summon Han Zong from Yong'an to Xiakou for military discussions.

Although Han Zong has ulterior motives, I have never shown any ill will toward him before, and since my name is reasonable, he will not fail to come.

And as long as he comes to Xiakou, I will have a way to take down his military power without any bloodshed.

But now, all my plans have been ruined by Zhu Huan’s words!"

As the saying goes, if the secret is not kept secret, it will lead to harm, so Lu Xun has never told anyone about his plan in the past.

Xu Sheng, who learned about Lu Xun's plan for the first time, realized the seriousness of the matter.

But in Xu Sheng's eyes, this matter was not without room for redemption.

Xu Sheng immediately raised his hands and said to Lu Xun:

"Although today's general cannot capture Han Zong without a bloody blow, the Jiefan soldiers in Han Zong's hands were split into two and their number was not large.

And the general has the best troops in the country. As long as the general gives a military order, tens of thousands of troops can march directly towards Yong'an.

What can Han Zong do by then?"

Xu Sheng originally thought that his suggestion would be adopted by Lu Xun, but unexpectedly, after listening to Xu Sheng's words, the worried look on Lu Xun's face did not fade at all.

Lu Xun sighed heavily and said to Xu Shengyan:

"Wen Xiang! If the situation can develop like this, why should I worry?"

"It's good that I have a lot of troops in my hands, but doesn't Mi Yang have a lot of troops in his hands?"

As soon as Lu Xun said this, Xu Sheng, who noticed the implication of Lu Xun's words, suddenly changed his expression.

The strong sense of surprise caused Xu Sheng to stutter on what he said next.

"You, you mean, Han Zong will treason and surrender to the enemy?"

"How can this be.

After all, Han Zong is the son of Duke Han, and he should know that with the legacy of Duke Han, no matter how big a mistake he makes, his life will still be spared by Your Majesty."

It wasn't that Xu Sheng was stupid and didn't think about it before, it was because Han Zong's identity was too special.

Han Dang was a patriarch of the three dynasties of Soochow, and his status was almost equivalent to that of a clan member.

Before things are certain to happen, who would unreasonably think that relatives from one country would defect to another country?

It's just that what Xu Sheng thought was too simple.

"For people like Han Zong, if all the power in his hands is lost, it will undoubtedly be more uncomfortable than killing him.

And in order not to lose the power in his hands, he will definitely do crazy things that are unimaginable to ordinary people."

"But I am not afraid of him surrendering to the enemy.

Even though Han Zong held military power, most of Jie Fanbing's family members were in Yong'an City.

And if he flees to the enemy country in a hurry, he will not be able to bring many family members with him, so there will not be many soldiers following him."

Lu Xun's words made Xu Sheng's mood calmer.

The general has considered the matter more comprehensively, and it seems that the matter is not too bad.

But before Xu Sheng's mood could stabilize, what Lu Xun said next made Xu Sheng's heart beat violently.

"What I'm worried about is that he will use Yong'an City as his capital as a gift for surrendering to the enemy!"

Lu Xun slowly said what was most worrying in his heart.

And this point directly made Xu Sheng stay where he was.

Yong'an City?

Yong'an City is the gateway to Jiangxia!

Once Yong'an City is captured by Mi Yang, Mi Yang's troops can sweep across the entire Jiangxia County at any time.

By then, the Yangtze River defense line they spent several years building will definitely be riddled with holes by Mi Yang!

Yongan City must not be lost!

But at this moment, Xu Sheng still couldn't help but murmur to himself:

"Han Zong has no talent, will he have the guts to go this far?"

Under Lu Xun's advice just now, Xu Sheng chose to believe Lu Xun's judgment that the Han Zonghui was treasonous.

There are many ways to commit treason.

Among the two methods of escaping to the enemy's country and marching to meet the enemy, the difficulty of the latter is undoubtedly incomparable to that of the former.

It was precisely because of knowing this that Xu Sheng thought that maybe the situation would not be so bad.

Seeing that Xu Sheng still had some unrealistic expectations, Lu Xun couldn't help but snap the case and wake Xu Sheng up and said:

"Wen Xiang, our enemy is Mi Yang!"

"I don't believe that Han Zong has the guts, but he doesn't. Will Mi Yang not?"

"Mi Yang has always been about killing with one strike. If Han Zong really wanted to surrender to him, how could his appetite stop at just a few thousand elite soldiers?

What he wants is the whole world of Wu!

What's more, facing an enemy like Mi Yang, we must prepare for the worst."

Lu Xun's reminder was effective. At this moment, Xu Sheng no longer had any doubts about Lu Xun's inference.

Xu Sheng plopped down and knelt down in front of Lu Xun, begging Lu Xun:

"I hope the general will quickly plan to save the country!"

What Xu Sheng wanted was not what Lu Xun wanted?

In fact, as early as just now, Lu Xun had been thinking about a strategy to save the country.

Now Lu Xun has gained something in his heart.

“The top priority is to immediately send people to Yong’an to remind Governor Hu to be careful of Han Zong’s rebellion!

As long as Governor Hu is on guard, it will not be easy for Han Zong to capture Yong'an City."

After saying this first point, Lu Xun immediately said:

"In addition, we need to send an envoy to Jianye and ask His Majesty to issue an edict to rebuke Han Zong.

The tougher the better!”

Xu Sheng was a little confused about this.

Since Lu Xun felt that Han Zong was about to rebel, what was the use of asking Sun Quan to issue an edict to reprimand him at this time?

It would be better to let Sun Quan issue an edict to treat Han Zong leniently, and maybe paralyze Han Zong.

Just when Xu Sheng was puzzled, Lu Xun told the reason why he did this.

"Mi Yang is good at using false surrender tactics. Those who make good use of this trick will definitely prevent others from following suit.

Although Han Zong surrendered out of fear of crime, on the surface he did have a reason for surrender.

But Mi Yang would not believe him rashly based on this. After all, Han Zong's father was Han Gong.

And when Mi Yang was suspicious, His Majesty did not reprimand him sooner or later. If he reprimanded Han Zong at this time, it would make Mi Yang feel that there was something deceitful inside.

In this way, we will buy time for our army!"

At this point, Lu Xun raised his head and looked at Xu Sheng, with a sparkle in his eyes.

"Yes, the key to breaking the situation lies in who can strike first!"

Rather than saying that Lu Xun was explaining to Xu Sheng, it would be better to say that he was talking to himself.

But are these two points alone safe enough?

Lu Xun lowered his head again and kept pacing in deep thought.

Lu Xun tried to put himself into Mi Yang's perspective, thinking about what kind of situation he least wanted to face at the moment.

What step is left?

As Lu Xun walked faster and faster, his brain was also running at high speed.

And not long after, Lu Xun suddenly stopped.

He thought of it!

"Cao Xiu!"
