He was originally the nephew of Zhu Zhi, an important entrepreneurial minister of the state of Wu, and was later adopted as his adopted son.
Because he was the same age as Sun Quan, he was sent by Sun Ce to study with Sun Quan, and they fell in love with each other at a young age. Therefore, after Sun Quan took control of Jiangdong, he was particularly talented and often entrusted him with important tasks.
Zhu Ran also lived up to the favor. He worked diligently since he took office, did not avoid hardships and dangers, and made many meritorious deeds.
Especially when Lü Meng was guarding Jiangling, the Wei State launched a massive attack. Cao Pi, Wen of Wei, went to Wancheng to take charge of the city. He sent Cao Zhen, Xia Houshang and Zhang He to besiege the city with multiple armies and attacked day and night. There were no reinforcements outside Jiangling, and the soldiers inside were prone to diseases and were in poor condition.
The battle was approaching, but Zhu Ran not only held on for six months without any losses, but also took advantage of the Wei army's unpreparedness to leave the city and attack two military camps. His reputation shocked Cao Wei, and he could be called a good general of the time.
The reason why he was revising the book and making a statement this time was because Sun Quan sent a private letter to ask about Zheng Pu's plan.
Because Zhu Ran and his son have served the third generation of the Sun family and are from Danyang, Jiangdong, his opinions can make at least half of the generals in charge follow them. In other words, if Jiangdong today is based on general planning,
Zhu Ran is not the best; but if he does not limit his family's selfishness and hopes that the Sun family will establish the Central Plains theory, if Zhu Ran claims to be second, no one can be better than him.
Naturally, the content of his work can be vaguely guessed.
Not only did he agree with the conspiracy to attack Huaiyou, but he also strongly claimed that Jiangdong should not miss the opportunity for Wei to gather the army in Guanzhong. Otherwise, when Wei Huaiyou has recovered from the trauma of the Battle of Shiting in the future, Jiangdong may not be able to advance.
It’s the day of the Central Plains.
At the end of the table, a sentence was added: "If your Majesty is lucky enough to be in Wuchang, I will gather all the soldiers to go to the front and die without asking to return!"
This was the reason that prompted Sun Quan to ask Lu Xun again if he was willing to bear the loss of tens of thousands of soldiers in Jingxiang and what was the chance of defeating Shouchun in Hefei.
Because of Zhu Ran's final request for orders, it can be seen that he also understood the prerequisites for carrying out this plan.
And he is willing to fight to the death to create opportunities for Jiangdong.
Sun Quan has ruled Jiangdong for thirty-five years. After many loyal ministers passed away, he became increasingly sad that his current ministers were unwilling to make progress.
With the three-legged confrontation, the Wei State almost occupied all the most precious land in the world!
The Wu State, with its dense mountains and swamps and mostly barbaric lands, saw its national power wax and wane. It was like a boat sailing against the current. It would perish if it did not make progress.
Therefore, he also began to have many sleepless nights.
He was worried that in the long run, after his generation passed away one after another, everyone in Jiangdong would be partial to a corner and indulge in pleasure, which would make the Sun family's foundation poor and weak, and eventually disappear in the torrent of history.
In fact, such signs have already appeared.
For example, Lu Xun, who was recalled by him to discuss matters, is now the best commander in Jiangdong, but he is not as enterprising as Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Lu Meng and others in the past!
Lu Xun just pointed out the advantages and disadvantages of the plan, which is the best evidence.
If he was also determined to make Jiangdong the center of the Central Plains, and with the strategies he had in mind, it would not be difficult to give advice on Zheng Pu's plan, or find another way to re-develop a plan that is more suitable for the situation in Jiangdong.
However, there are never ifs in the world.
well.
That's all, there's no point in thinking too much.
Sun Quan, who had put aside all the complicated thoughts, looked into Lu Xun's eyes and said earnestly, "Bo Yan, I know that this plot will cause great harm to our Jiangdong. However, today's general trend is to go against the Wei Dynasty and destroy Liaodong Gongsun, and to kill Xianbei Ke
Bi Neng stopped the war in the northern border; Bashu, which was originally trapped in Fanlong, also left Longyou and regained Liangzhou. Only I, Jiangdong, had no way to make progress and finally fell behind. And I also know that Jingxiang is related to the Wei Dynasty
If the capital of Luoyang is stable, we must use all the strength of the country to preserve it. If there is an opportunity to open up territory in the east of the Yangtze River, the only plan now is to Huaiyou! Furthermore."
At this point, Sun Quan's voice sounded a little sad.
"Furthermore, I and you are already in our fifties. The Wei Dynasty has occupied all the most precious lands in the world. The country is strong and the population is densely populated. If we cannot capture the land of Huaiyou in our lifetime, future generations will think of it as the barrier of Wu.
I'm afraid that Cao Pi's repeated attacks with large armies will happen again in the future. Even if we have a great river and a favorable geographical location in the east of the Yangtze River, it will be hard to avoid the flames of war going out year after year and the destruction of all living beings!"
As a monarch, Lu Xun would not continue to remain silent no matter what, because he spoke so frankly and heartily to his subjects, and because of the future survival of Jiangdong and the safety of Lu Xun's hometown.
"Your Majesty speaks from the bottom of his heart. How dare I die if I don't obey?"
Immediately, he left the banquet to pay homage and said with emotion, "If your Majesty carries out this plan, the day when the governor's army arrives in Wuchang will be the time when I lead the army to Xiangyang!"
"Great kindness!"
Sun Quan raised his palms and praised, laughing, "Hai Bo Yan said this, Huaiyou will definitely belong to me Jiangdong!"
After saying this, he quickly stood up and came over to help Lu Xun up.
When the two of them sat down again, Lu Xun smiled and said, "Your Majesty, according to this plan, the generals left to guard are also the ones who will shoulder the responsibility of attacking Hefei in the future. The only one in Jiangdong who can bear the important task and is in Wu now is
One person's ear! I believe your majesty has already promised it, so I won't say any more. Please spare some time for your majesty to allow me to think about it carefully and see if it can help Zheng Zijin to make up for the shortcomings in his plan."
"Bo Yan knows me!"
Sun Quan, who was delighted with his beauty, nodded and came over, "Okay. Please let me think about what you're saying. I won't disturb you or rush you."
Indeed, Sun Quan had already made up his mind about the people who stayed in the town to build a business and attacked Huaiyou in secret.
It was Zhu Huan, a former general from the fourth surname of Wu who guarded Dajiang Zhongzhou.
He was an outstanding general with many meritorious deeds. In the first year of Huang Wu, when he was the governor of Ruxu, he used 5,000 troops to resist Cao Ren, who was attacking tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry. He showed the enemy that he was weak and lured Cao Ren to divide his troops to attack. He defeated Cao Ren's son Cao Ren first.
Tai, the rear formation killed Wei generals Chang Diao and Zhuge Qian, captured Wang Shuang alive, and caused Cao Ren to return in defeat.
After that, there were also achievements in the Battle of Shiting.
Before the battle, he asserted that Cao Xiu would be defeated, and asked his troops to cut off Cao Xiu's return path first.
However, Lu Xun abandoned it because he could not take the risk, so Cao Xiu was rescued by Jia Kui and survived.
He is a man who cares little about wealth and righteousness, and is famous for taking good care of his soldiers. His salary and family property are shared with everyone;
Can call out names.
Therefore, all soldiers are willing to serve their orders and will not hesitate to die in battle.
He won the support of the soldiers, which was even greater than Gan Ning in the past.
When such a person is given the important task of undermining, there is no need to worry about the ineffective implementation of the strategy, nor does it need to be like Zheng Pu said, "follow the example of Rang Ju and kill Zhuang Jia, and Wei Jiang kill Yang Qian to demonstrate against the crowd." Moreover, Zhu Huan followed his younger brother Zhu Ju.
, his wife Sun Quan and infantry trainer's young daughter Sun Luyu were favored in Jiangdong, and there was no need to carry out Zheng Pu's implicit advice of "detaining the young soldiers and ordering them to fight to the death", which made the monarchs and ministers of Jiangdong suspicious.
After a while of silence.
Lu Xun, who was thinking to himself, opened his eyes, looked at Sun Quan and smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I secretly believe that since we are bound to attack Jingxiang, casualties are inevitable. If we don't do it first, we may be able to add more people to the country."
