Time into July, the situation in the world has undergone some changes, although Gongsun Chan built countless towers in Yijing, the entire Yijing defense is not leaky, but after all, he failed to hold his last territory, was attacked into the city by Yuan Shao by digging tunnels, and then Gongsun Chan burned himself to death in his own hall, which is regarded as preserving his last bit of dignity as a prince, and Yuan Shao is considered to have completely seized the four states of Hebei, and is recuperating at this time.

And the battle of the Central Plains at this time also reached a critical moment, although Cao Cao was stabbed by Liu Bei before, but the strength was not damaged, he relied on the advantage of troops and the endless tactics of the strategist Xun You slowly annexed Xuzhou and other places, and gradually forced Lu Bu to a dead end, at this time Lu Bu was left with a lonely city under Pi, can only be trapped and unable to escape.

At this time, Jiangdong was also ready to go on all expeditions, ready to attack Jingzhou again at any time.

On July 15th, the weather in Jiangdong was already a little hot, on this day last year, it was the day when Lu An reorganized the army to attack Jingzhou, this year, Lu An still had no intention of changing, on this day, he once again gathered 120,000 troops on the school field, and gathered all the generals to set sail, and ordered Wei Yan of Jingnan to lead 60,000 troops to cooperate, a total of 180,000 troops to prepare to attack Jiangxia again.

Such signs of heavy troops, naturally can not hide from Liu Biao, perhaps last year's battle gave Liu Biao some confidence, I heard that Lu An is known as 200,000 troops after attacking, this time Liu Biao is also ruthless, directly transferred all the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou to Jiangxia, gathered a full 200,000 soldiers and horses, with Cai Mao as the main commander, Wen hired Zhang Yun and others as deputy marshals, Kuai Yue as the military division, Liu Bei led an army to follow, and wanted to reject the Jiangdong army on the water, but it is worth mentioning that Cai Mao was appointed after being appointed, first found Sima Hui in Nanyang, and after inviting Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, he led the army to set off.

The Jiangdong army dispatched 180,000 horses, and Jingzhou dispatched 200,000, and it is clear that both sides are betting on their own fate this time, and the winner will get everything, and the loser will fall into hell forever.

On July 23, Lu An met with Wei Yan, who had been waiting here for a long time, in the Jiujiang area, and the 180,000-strong army joined forces and marched again.

On 29 July, when Lu An's army sailed to Jiangxia and could already see Liu Biaojun's building ship in the distance, Jiangdong's army also paused its advance and began to camp along the coast.

After the camp was set up, in order to let the soldiers get enough rest time before the battle, Lu An did not rush to attack, but rested in the camp for some time, during this time, Liu Biaojun sent some vanguard troops to test a few times, and saw that the camp of the Jiangdong army was flawless, so he retreated.

On the night of August 5th, the moonlight was particularly bright, and there were many stars on the side, making the night sky even more beautiful than usual.

Lu An finally planned to act, he planned to go to a decisive battle with the Jingzhou army tomorrow, so he summoned all the generals who went out this time and asked them to come to his own tent to discuss matters.

"Meet the Lord!" After a short time, a group of civil and military officers arrived one by one, and after each saluted Lu An, they each found a place to sit down.

The handsome tent is very large, and this row of seats is also a little exquisite, and the chief who is alone on the top is naturally only Lu An is qualified to sit, but many seats under the chief pay more attention to seniority and official positions, and the more people who are reused, the more advanced they are, for example, after Gan Ning came, he sat in the first row of seats on the left below Lu An, obviously thinking that he was qualified to sit here, of course, if it was about military merit and qualifications, he could indeed be said to be the best.

As for the seats in the first row on the right, no one dares to grab them, and everyone in Jiangdong knows that as long as Lu An personally goes out to fight, then the first seat below must definitely leave a place for Guo Jia, this is an unspoken rule set by Lu An, and it can be regarded as a kind of protection for Guo Jia, otherwise Guo Jia is willing to take an idle position without caring about anything on weekdays, and does not make friends with the lazy mentality, I am afraid that he will be excluded.

Among the crowd, Zhou Yu came a little late, and when he arrived, the seats in front were already occupied, and Zhou Yu didn't care, so he found a seat in the back and wanted to sit down.

"Gong Jin, you sit next to me!" When Zhou Yu wanted to sit down, Lu An suddenly spoke.

"Whoosh!" After Lu An spoke, everyone present glanced at Zhou Yu, some were surprised, some were envious, some were jealous, and there were countless scorching heats.

"Yes!" With the Jiangdong Army's southern and northern wars over the years, the generals of the Jiangdong Army are also well-known in the world, and Zhou Yu himself is still a nobody because he has not yet emerged, and he is stared at by a famous general with that kind of envy.

Although the civil and military forces present vaguely guessed what Lu An wanted to do next, although they were willing to oppose it, but no one dared to speak up, Lu An has always been dictatorial and prestigious in Jiangdong, especially in the army, he has always said the same, and Guo Jia and a few important ministers can persuade him, but Guo Jia has not arrived at this time, and Gan Ning, who is in the first seat, does not speak at this time, so naturally no one dares to come forward.

At this time, before everyone arrived, the council naturally hadn't started yet, Lu An's fingers were tapping rhythmically on the table, but he was looking at a scroll of documents in his hand, as if he had already fallen into a trance.

Zhou Yu on the side was not as calm as Lu An, he turned his head slightly to look at Lu An, and somehow there was some reverence in his heart, not only because Lu An gave him a platform to show his talents, but more importantly, he felt that Lu An was too crazy.

From a commoner to the current lord of Jiangdong, opening a new policy, the Juntian system, and building a academy, every step Lu An took looked like a madman to outsiders, but every step he took finally succeeded and reaped unprecedented fruits, and now, he is still so crazy and resolute in employing people, not only to let that Zhao Yun serve as the chief general of the conquest of Jiaozhou, but also to promote himself to the position of marshal of the navy.

Thinking that he is likely to command hundreds of thousands of people in the next battle, Zhou Yu's heart has countless pride and excitement, if he was still skeptical about the position of marshal of the navy promised to him by Lu An before he sat here, then now he is completely convinced, if there is no idea of promoting him to be handsome, how can he let him sit in the chief, this, not only Zhou Yu himself knows, but even the generals in the audience are afraid to guess it, so they will look at him with that complicated gaze.

"Lu Xuantong, if you really treat me Zhou Yu Rusi, then I, Zhou Gongjin, will do my best to win the world for you in this life!" Sitting next to Lu An, Zhou Yu's gaze became more firm than ever, not for himself, but for his confidant.
