If you don't eat the fruit, the gentleman will gain public support, but the villain will strip him of his hut.

The situation is developing in a turbulent way. The fruit of Jingzhou may be difficult to swallow. It is still unclear who will win. However, Jiangdong has actually lost Jiangxia.

'The villain peels off the hut.'

The more Sun Quan thought about these four words, the uglier he became. Last time Yu Fan mocked himself for being unpopular in Jiangdong, but he used the villain as a metaphor for me? Why didn't he calculate earlier if he was so good at divination?

"Although Yu Zhongxiang is not as good as Fu Xi, he is still comparable to Dongfang Shuo." Sun Quan left a word to everyone, turned around and walked into the cabin again.

When Sun Quan became angry, Yu Fan had just arrived at Lu Xun's camp. Counting the several envoys sent by Sun Quan before, he was the fifth person to arrive in Dongting within three days.

"Why did Zhongxiang come here?" Lu Xun asked curiously.

Yu Fan asked in surprise: "How could General Lu be so calm? Governor Hu (Hu Zong) didn't send anyone to ask for help?"

"Of course I have. This is Lantian's plan. I have sent people to Jiangxia to explain to the lord." Lu Xun replied.

Yu Fan reminded loudly: "The general is very smart. Even if it is really Lantian's plan, you must return to Jiangxia immediately. Zhang Fei, Pang De, and Fazheng have already laid siege to the city. The return of reinforcements is too slow to wait for the general."

"But now that the naval forces are being transferred, Lantian will inevitably return to Jiangling. Wouldn't the Governor fall short?" Lu Xun was still hesitating.

"Instead of asking Boyan to lead the navy back for reinforcements, the Shanyue cavalry must also return to Jiangxia to resume their duties. This is a strict order given to you by the lord. General, you must take care of yourself." Yu Fan persuaded him earnestly.

Lu Xun directly pulled out the sword from his waist, which scared Yu Fan to the point where he almost collapsed to the ground.

With a click, Lu Xun chopped off a corner of the case with his sword, and then stabbed the sword firmly on the ground.

"Alas, I still underestimated Lan Tian. Xuan Owl is indeed not an ordinary person. With this person as Guan Yu's backing, what else can we plan for Jingzhou? If we can hold Jiangdong, it will be good." Lu Xun replied dejectedly.

Yu Fan said happily: "General, are you ready to return reinforcements?"

Lu Xun nodded in affirmation, then summoned Wu Qi, Cheng Zi and other generals who were accompanying the army, and solemnly gave instructions: "Instruct the soldiers of each battalion to pack their bags in secret, and everyone will board the boat in an hour."

"General, where are we going?"

Cheng Zi and Wu Qi looked at each other. Lu Xun hid Sun Quan's previous orders from others in order not to affect his military morale.

Lu Xun's eyes were firm and he replied coldly: "My lord asked Captain Yu to send new orders. The general will naturally explain them when we get on board."

"What about our camp..." Cheng Zi asked.

"In order to prevent Lantian from taking advantage of the situation, all tents and other items were left in place. Everyone only brought light items on board. But anyone who leaks the news will be killed immediately." Lu Xun showed his domineering side.

"Wei." Cheng Zi and other generals took the order and left.

"You don't have to be in a hurry, you make decisions immediately, you are like a general." Yu Fan praised.

Lu Xun smiled bitterly: "It's a pity that the encounter with the Xuan Owl was in vain. If the governor's side cannot win, Liu Bei will use the people from Jingzhou, Yizhou, and Jiaozhou to go down the river, and the east of the river will be in danger..."

"This matter is not trivial. Does Boyan have any consequences?" Yu Fan exclaimed.

"Cao Cao is watching from the north. This possibility is extremely small. Liu Bei may not take the risk. Although I can see Guan Yu clearly, I have no confidence in Lan Tian..." Lu Xun shook his head.

"Is there nothing we can do?"

Yu Fanxin said that he really couldn't bear it, so he fled with his family as soon as possible after returning to Jiangdong. The Yu family was not as deep as Gu Lu, Zhu Zhang, and the boat was small and easy to turn around.

Just when Yu Fan was thinking about retreating, Lu Xun suddenly said: "I have thought of a way, but I will give it a try..."

From the moment Lantian divided his troops and played a conspiracy with Lu Xun, the camps of both sides were separated by two or three miles every day, and they only continued to send out scouts to monitor each other.

In order to increase the psychological pressure on Lu Xun, Lan Tian practiced Wu Qin Xi in front of the camp every day. Although he appeared confident, it was difficult to predict whether Sun Quan would fall into the trap.

Zhang Fei and Pang De have been sending troops for six or seven days. It stands to reason that there is some news about Lu Xun's camp, but the opposite side is as quiet as a cemetery every day. Lan Tian thinks that Sun Quan is still much better than Zhao Gou.

One afternoon, when Lantian returned to his tent to rest after practicing Wu Qin Xi, Gao Shun suddenly hurried in.

"Sir, the opposite side has suddenly become strange. Lu Xun's Hanzhai is even quieter than in the morning, and there are no sentries on the gate and archery tower." Gao Shun reported with cupped fists.

Lan Tian was shocked when he heard this. He subconsciously felt that encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao had worked. Could it be that Lu Xun ran away?

"Bo Ping, immediately send scouts to investigate closely, and then gather the soldiers of each battalion to prepare to seize the camp." Lan Tian urged.

"Are you going to attack by force?" Gao Shun asked puzzledly.

"I suspect that Sun Quan has fallen into the trap and Lu Xun has been forced to evacuate, but we still have to be careful of ambush and go and arrange it as soon as possible," Lan Tian ordered.

"only."

Half an hour later, the trapped troops broke into Lu Xun's dry camp. When they entered, they found that the camp was empty and many supplies of food, grass and baggage had been abandoned.

While Lan Tian and Gao Shun were searching in the camp, the scouts reported that the warships at Dongting Water Village had set sail, so the two of them rushed to the Yangtze River.

The war horses stopped at the riverside. Lan Tian looked at the departing warships and sighed: "Being able to retreat unscathed in front of the trapped troops, Lu Boyan really has some skills..."

While Lan Tian and Gao Shun were watching, a general walked out from the deck of the warship near the river. The elegantly dressed man was Lu Xun.

"General Lan's conspiracy is indeed powerful. Lu Xun is convinced of the defeat. However, the relationship between us is not over yet. Maybe it is too late for your reinforcements to arrive in Nanjun. We will see you later." Lu Xun bowed his hands and saluted.

"Well, we'll see you in Jiangdong tomorrow." Lan Tian raised his hand in return.

Lu Xun was startled when he heard this, then he walked into the cabin with his sleeves rolled up.

"What to do next?" Gao Shun asked.

"Immediately order General Li to come to the Dongting Water Village to meet up, and then send the scouts to quickly recall all the troops and horses in Jiangxia. Now that the navy in Jiangdong still has the advantage, we can only take advantage of Lu Xun's return to Jiangxia to transport the troops and horses to the Yangtze River.

North." Lan Tian replied with a frown.

"I remember that my husband deduced on the sand table that the area north of Dongting was densely covered with swamps and was where Yunmengze was in ancient times. Will there be any problems with landing from this direction?" Gao Shun asked.

Lan Tian shook his head, "Yun Mengze is absolutely not allowed to go ashore, so we can't be in a hurry now. We need to ask General Li to send a patrol boat to investigate and understand the invading police and where the navy in Jiangling is now. We must choose a safe location.

After landing, we will go back to camp to study the combat map, and there should be a suitable landing point."

"Yeah." Gao Shun nodded in agreement.

The two rode their horses south to the gate of Jiangdong Hanzhai. The searching soldiers handed over a letter saying that they had found it on the desk of Lu Xun's main account.

Lan Tian was greatly surprised. He took the letter to Shou Zhong and saw that there were five words on the cover, "Personally signed by General Lan".

"Lu Xun left me a letter? Bo Ping, what do you think it was?"

"War letter?"
