Sun Quan said meaningfully: "Zibu didn't want to let Zhongsi (Zhang Cheng) guard Ruxu, so I had to transfer Lu Boyan from Chaisang. The Zhang family has to contribute to Jiangdong, right?"

"Ah this..."

After Zhang Zhao heard this, he was speechless and said to himself that in order to force me to force him, there was no need for the King of Wu to mess with important national affairs, right? He had no idea that Sun Quan's thoughts were actually well thought out.

Although Sun Bu had no empirical evidence, his reasoning was logically rigorous and was recognized by Sun Quan.

The Lu family survived the disaster and finally revived in Jiangdong. Even if they took the risk of rebelling against Liu Bei, they would be cautious.

Based on Sun Quan's deep understanding of Lu Xun, Lu Xun should continue to pretend before he was fully prepared.

Jiangdong is now at the time of hiring people. If Lu Xun is dealt with on unfounded charges, it will not only directly force the tolerant governor to rebel, but also alienate the rest of the Jiangdong nobles. The Sun family will no longer be able to continue to gain a foothold in Jiangdong, so Sun Quan chose

A softer approach.

First, Lu Xun was transferred to Ruxu to artificially separate Lu Xun and Liu Bei's forces. Second, the other party's military power was slowly reduced, and when the time was right, he would be punished.

"Your Majesty, you have to think twice. How can I be Gan Ning's opponent..." Zhang Zhao came back to his senses and continued to beg. He really hoped that Sun Quan was joking with him, but the other party's serious face did not look like it.

Sun Quan stroked his purple beard and explained: "For many years, there have been constant internal struggles in Jiangdong, so in external wars, they are not as united as Cao and Liu. After the defeat in Huainan, I thought a lot. Instead of being together and not getting used to each other, it is better to separate and take responsibility."

In one place, it’s easy to hold accountable if something goes wrong.”

"What the king means is..." Zhang Zhao hesitated before speaking.

"The Huainan War that just passed made Soochow the weakest of the three families. Although the Cao and Liu families were fighting fiercely in the Central Plains and Guanzhong, there was no guarantee that they would not invade Jiangdong again. Gu decided to let Jiangdong generals guard Ruxu, leaving Huai

The generals from Si will lead their troops to guard Chaisang." Sun Quan nodded lightly.

"Isn't this an artificial separation? Although the Cao family has more soldiers than the Liu family, their navy is relatively weak, so they only need to stick to Ruxushui mouth. In contrast, Gan Ning's navy stationed in Wuchang is far from ours in the east.

Wu Shui's army did not hesitate to make more concessions, and the trapped army in Lantian, Jiaozhou was even more of a nightmare on land. Your Majesty should let Jiangdong generals guard Chaisang. Wouldn't it be a waste of talent for the governor to be in Rusu?" Seeing that Sun Quan was determined, Zhang Zhao began to pick and choose again.

stand up.

Sun Quan's face was serious and he said in a deep voice: "One step ahead of Ruxuwu is Huaisi's hometown. How big of an accident will it cause if Han Zong leads his troops to defect? ​​I have to deploy carefully. The generals from Jiangdong will guard Huaisi. It is impregnable. You can guard it for me."

Just the Western Front will do."

"this..."

Sun Quan interrupted Zhang Zhao and added: "Don't worry Zibu. I will let Nanchang Marquis (Lü Fan) command the Western Front Water Route Army. Zhong Si will be the left governor for him, and General Annan (Lü Dai) will be the right governor."

"With Zi Heng as the coach, I can rest assured. His qualifications and abilities are very strong." Zhang Zhao finally breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that Jiangdong's commander-in-chief was unlucky, and Zhang Cheng could survive as his deputy.

Sun Quan remained expressionless and did not answer. Lu Fan was his most trusted confidant. Even though he was not the governor of Jiangdong, his status in Jiangdong was higher than that of Lu Xun.

Lu Fan's administrative official position was Yangzhou Mu, and his military official position was former general Zhijie, which was equivalent to Guan Yu on Liu Bei's side. Although Lu Xun had the title of Grand Governor, his Yangzhou Biejia and the most talented people were recruited by Lu Fan.

The official position in the army is also the right general who is at the back.

After the failure of the battle for Jiaozhou, Lu Fan stayed in the rear area for a long time. Whether during Sun Quan's sneak attack on Jingzhou, or during the attack or defense of Ruxu, Lu Fan stayed behind Jianye. At this time, Sun Quan sent him to Chaisang.

The only big name available.

After Zhang Zhao said goodbye and left the Wu palace, Sun Quan urgently summoned Gu Yong, Zhang Wen and others, notifying Ruxu and Chaisang in advance to change their defenses, leaving them one night to adapt.

The next day, Sun Quan summoned the civil and military forces in Jiangdong and announced the order to mobilize troops and change defenses. The ministers in the court who did not understand the situation were in an uproar.

When King Wu's order was passed to Ruxuwu and Chaisang, many of the original garrison generals in the two places couldn't understand it. Xu Sheng, who had the ambition of being the governor of thousands of people, thought he could succeed Zhou Tai. However, he was still under Zhang Cheng after he was transferred there. He felt depressed.

Yu, the governor Lu Xun wrote to Jianye to inquire, but was reprimanded by Sun Quan.

The armies of Ruxu and Chaisang were composed of units under each general's command. The mobilization of the generals meant that the underground soldiers would also be mobilized. Soochow clearly suffered a huge defeat in Huainan, but at this time, it gave people the impression that Huainan was going to be attacked again.

Jiang Ji, the general guarding Hefei, not only sent out scouts to investigate every day, but also sent urgent information to Luoyang. However, Soochow's actions were limited to changing defenses, and things returned to calm after more than ten days.

At the end of April, the reply from Luoyang arrived in Hefei, and the spies from Soochow also sent back news from the Central Plains.

Hu Ke served as the governor of the left wing of Jiefanwei. He was usually in the military camp outside Jianye City, but he was still responsible for the intelligence work in Jiangdong.

As soon as the news from Luoyang was sent to Jianye, Hu Ke hurried to Wu Palace.

Hu Ke clasped his fists and asked: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Luoyang that the Wei State has withdrawn its troops from Huainan to the Central Plains. Because they were infected with the plague on the way back, many soldiers died. They are currently stationed in Mobei in Runan and are not allowed to go up."

Battle with Guan Yu on the front line..."

"Big-eared thief, red-faced thief, what kind of luck did they get? Cao Ren fought so hard against Jiangdong, but before he could fight against Guan Yu, the whole army was infected with the plague?" Sun Quan felt incredible.

A few months ago, Soochow defeated Huainan. Sun Quan promised that when Cao Ren returned to the battlefield in Jingbei, the Soochow army would attack Wuchang and Jiangxia. Although Sun Quan was an alliance under the city, he was not prepared to fulfill his promise, but he wanted to see it happen.

Until Guan Yu was consumed.

Only when the Jingzhou army was defeated by Wei, Jiangdong would have a chance to take revenge in the future. However, God failed to fulfill people's wishes. Is this considered an exaggeration?

"Your Majesty, Cao Ren also contracted the plague and died, and even Wen Hui, who went to Huainan to negotiate, also died..." Hu Ke reminded.

Sun Quan slapped his palm on the table, grinning and teasing: "If you die well, it seems that God is fair. He killed as many of my Jiangdong descendants in Huainan as many of his people should be buried with him..."

Hu Ke nodded and sighed: "If the plague is not properly controlled, the final number of deaths may range from hundreds to thousands to tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands..."

Is God avenging Jiangdong, or is he trying to fend off Guan Yu? Sun Quan hurriedly asked: "Didn't Liu Bei capture Chang'an in the first month of the first month? Now that several months have passed, how is the situation in Guanzhong? Cao Pi's troops transferred from Huainan did not dare to

Yes, can he spare the extra troops to go to Guanzhong?"

"Because Cao Ren did not dare to use his troops, Cao Pi only took 30,000 from the Jingbei battlefield to go to Tongguan. Guan Yu is currently shrinking his troops to attack Nanxiang. Cao Xiu is not Guan Yu's opponent at all, and there is bad news from Yongliang..."
