Tian Feng invited Lu Xun into Hanzhong and led him to the official mansion.

After everyone sat down, Tian Feng introduced Jiang Gan, Cao Hong, and Cao Xiu to Lu Xun.

Cao Hong said to Lu Xun: "I heard that General Boyan was under Sun Quan at the beginning, and if it wasn't for the general's strength in the first battle of Chibi, the lord would have captured Sun Quan. Dare to ask why the general refused to serve the lord at that time, but waited until now? ”

"Don't hide it, conquer the world, it is not important to gain or lose for a while, the important thing is to look at the long-term." Lu Xun replied: "Since the Sun family retreated to Jiaozhou, I often look forward to Sun Quan's achievements. But I waited so long, but I didn't wait for anything. Instead, he waited to obey the law and strategize, and sent troops with Liu Xuande to attack Shouchun. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Xun shook his head: "It was at that time that I suddenly understood. Jiaozhou is just a corner of the land, and it is impossible to regain Jiangdong from the lord and regain his strength. Instead of being trapped in Jiaozhou, it is better to serve the lord and establish meritorious deeds earlier. As for the Jiaozhou side, the lord may have promised that he would not let me lead the troops to fight. That's why I came to Hanzhong. ”

"Does General Bo Yan know which two generals Fa Zheng brought?" Cao Hong then asked.

"Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are only." Lu Xun replied with an understatement: "If he doesn't take these two people, I really don't have much confidence that I can beat him." With them, Fazheng has already lost half of it. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Lu Xun said this, Tian Feng immediately understood, but Cao Hong and Cao Xiu were confused, Cao Hong asked.

Lu Xun replied: "Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Liu Xuande have the righteousness of worship, and in the early years, Liu Xuande also relied on the two of them to swagger around, so that now they are entrenched in Yizhou. The two of them are close to Liu Xuande and have never taken anyone seriously. In the entire Yizhou, except for Liu Xuande, only Zhuge Kongming can control them. Although Fa Zheng contributed to Yizhou, the two of them never looked at him. If the main general's order can't be met, how can they have a chance of winning? ”

"I still understand it." Tian Feng nodded: "Fa Zheng led the army to Hanzhong, although I saw through it, but I have never been able to break him." Bo Yan has just arrived, and he can see that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are not Fa Zheng in the army, so why worry about him being undefeated? ”

"Tian Gong praised it." Although Lu Xun was humble, his face couldn't help but show a hint of pride.

Seeing the smugness on his face, Tian Feng didn't care.

After all, Lu Xun is still young.

Young people are too capable, and they will always be a little arrogant.

When he was young, even Yuan Shao dared to contradict him, compared to himself, Lu Xun was already low-key and introverted.

"Ziyi, take the roster of officers and soldiers in the army." After talking to Lu Xun for a few words, Tian Feng was almost sure that he could defeat Fazheng, so he instructed Jiang Gan to get the roster of soldiers.

"Do you still have a roster of officers and soldiers?" Lu Xun asked: "Do you have to register new soldiers?" ”

"In his early years, the lord once ordered that all officers and soldiers in the army should be registered." Tian Feng replied: "Not only that, everyone also has a waist card. When soldiers die on the battlefield, their bodies will be buried on the spot, but the waist cards will be brought back and returned to their families. All the families of the soldiers who died in the war will be taken care of by all localities, and food and copper coins will be allocated and sent every month. ”

"That's a lot of overhead." Lu Xun frowned and said: "Send food and copper coins every month, and there are not a few soldiers under the lord's command who have died in battle over the years......

"It's a lot of money." Tian Feng nodded: "But it's not to raise them to death." The women of the families of the soldiers who died in the war no longer enjoy the money and food distributed after they remarry. Children and adults also have to rely on themselves. As for the old father and mother, they are raised for them until they are in the soil. Unless there are special circumstances, brothers and sisters, the lord will not raise them for them. It can also save a lot of money. ”

"The lord is really benevolent!" Lu Xun nodded: "No wonder the morale of the soldiers and horses under the command of heroes from all over the world is always inferior to that of the lord's army on the battlefield. Without worries, how can the soldiers not do their best? ”

"Even if it is such an army, it is not an opponent of Fazheng in my hands." Tian Feng sighed: "When it comes to using soldiers, I am indeed inferior to Fazheng. ”

"If Tian Gong didn't stabilize Hanzhong, I'm afraid that this place would have fallen into the hands of Liu Xuande." Lu Xun replied: "After the delivery, Tian Gong can only rest assured that he will go on the road, with me, Fa Zheng will not only be difficult to advance an inch, he will even throw away some of the things he has already gotten and give Yizhou to us." ”

"Did the lord say what we should do?" Jiang Gan interjected.

Lu Xun looked at him: "Doesn't Jiang Gong plan to stay in Hanzhong and establish his merits?" ”

From Lu Xun's words, Jiang Gan heard that he had nothing to do with returning to Luoyang.

With a hint of loss on his face, Jiang Gan then said, "The lord thinks that I should stay here, and I will definitely do my best to help General Lu." ”

"With Jiang Gong's help, I have a few more chances of winning." Lu Xun smiled and arched his hand at him.

"General Lu just said that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have arrogant temperaments and have never taken Fa Zheng seriously." Cao Xiu, who never spoke, said to Lu Xun: "However, the two of them are fierce generals in the world after all. None of us would be their opponents if they were to go it alone. Did the lord say that he would send us a fierce general? ”

"The lord really doesn't plan to send a fierce general." Lu Xun said with a smile: "Although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are brave, they have reasons to lose. As long as the general is willing to work with me, it will not be difficult to capture Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. ”

Lu Xun said with confidence, Cao Xiu and Cao Hong glanced at each other.

"Neither of us is their opponent, and we can catch them?" Cao Hong also asked in disbelief.

"Absolutely!" Lu Xun didn't think about it, raised three little fingers and said to them: "As long as a few generals believe in me, we will definitely be able to capture one of the two without three battles." After capturing one of them, with the relationship between Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the other person will definitely come to help. It was only a matter of time before they were both captured and given to the lord. ”

Lu Xun said with confidence, Tian Feng smiled slightly, and there was not the slightest doubt on his face.

And Cao Hong and others have a somewhat conservative attitude towards Lu Xun's words.

Things didn't develop to that point, and they still couldn't believe that Lu Xun was really Fazheng's opponent.

Although Lu Xun has a good reputation and has been reused by Sun Quan, he is still too young after all.

Most young people are arrogant, but there are not too many who can fulfill their promises like Cao Shuo.

The only way for Lu Xun to win their trust is to convince them with practical results.

Tian Feng knew that the topic should end here, and he said to Lu Xun: "The list of soldiers has been given to Bo Yan, and there are still many things to be settled in Hanzhong. After picking up the wind for Bo Yan, we have to settle them one by one. ”
