After a while, a few more people arrived one after another, and then Guo Jia was late, Lu An glanced down, and saw that everyone had already arrived, so he put down the paperwork in his hand and started the meeting.

said that it was a meeting, but in fact, it was just that Lu An was going to give a military order, he glanced at everyone, and then slowly said: "Summoning everyone here, in fact, I want to tell you that this is our second northern expedition, and everyone knows what this time means, I, Lu Xuantong, must not fall in the same place twice, let alone not advance an inch when others are expanding aggressively, tomorrow, we will start marching again, this time, we will go down to Jingzhou!" ”

"You must go to Jingzhou, you must go to Jingzhou!" Everyone echoed in unison.

"Now Liu Biao's army on the river has 200,000, which is almost all his soldiers and horses, that is to say, as long as we defeat his 200,000 army, Jingzhou's defense line will completely collapse, and we will be driven in, so we must win a big victory in this battle!" Lu An said again.

"Don't worry, my lord, this time, we will fight to the death, and we will definitely defeat the enemy!" Gan Ning stood up and said.

"We will fight to the death and crush the enemy!" All the generals also said in unison.

"It's rare for you to have such determination, then I'll tell you directly, the inch is long, the ruler is short, Zhou Gongjin is proficient in water warfare, so this time in the big war, I will give Zhou Gongjin full command of the battle, and when we play, our whole army, including me, must listen to his command, and you must keep it in mind." Seeing that everyone's morale was high, Lu An nodded, and said word by word.

“、、、、！” As soon as Lu An's words came out, everyone froze there, although when Lu An summoned Zhou Yu to sit with him, all the civil and military forces had already faintly guessed, but when they really said it, they didn't know what to do, agree, isn't it child's play to hand over the life and death of the hundreds of thousands of troops to a person who has been taking refuge for less than a year? Don't agree with it, looking at the lord like that, he has obviously made up his mind.

Just when the atmosphere in the tent was congrozen, something unexpected happened.

Among the generals, Gan Ning, who was most disgusted with Zhou Yu before, was the first to stand up and agree with Lu An's decision at this time: "The lord has a decision, and he would rather have no objection!" ”

Gan Ning said, as if he felt that he was not sincere enough, and bowed his hand to Zhou Yu again: "General Zhou, from tomorrow, the lives of the 180,000 sons of my Jiangdong Army are in your hands, please be sure not to live up to the expectations of the lord and wash the shame of last year for our army!" ”

"Please General Zhou must wash the shame of last year for us!" Gan Ning, who was the most powerful among the people, spoke, and the generals in the audience had nothing to say, so they all bowed to Zhou Yu at the moment.

Although he is a Confucian general, Zhou Yu is also a proud person, seeing this scene, he felt a burst of blood boiling, he walked down from the seat, first bowed to Lu An, and then bowed to the generals in the audience, and then took out a short sword from the weapon rack on the side, and slashed directly from his wrist, after a burst of blood, Zhou Yu threw down the short sword in his hand and said loudly.

"Thanks to the trust and love of the lord, and the brothers who will not give up, I Zhou Yu can serve as the commander of the three armies, today I Zhou Gongjin swore with blood, if I can't defeat the Jingzhou army tomorrow, I will spill blood on the Yangtze River!"

Zhou Yu said this quite resolutely, and directly cut off his own back road, but his firm tone added some confidence to the generals present, and made everyone say: "Our army will definitely return triumphantly!" ”

"Okay, our army is united, we will be invincible, I hope you will go back today to rest well, tomorrow our army will sail up and attack the enemy!" Lu An finally stood up. At this moment, he is extremely looking forward to the arrival of tomorrow, when he can have a real decisive battle with Jingzhou.

、、、、

The next day, the early morning sun refracted on the river, showing a rainbow color, at this time the Jiangdong army had already marched on the river, and one after another buildings and boats almost covered the entire surface of the Yangtze River, and advanced at a rapid speed.

"Hey, our ships are so much faster than before!" Not long after the march, there were soldiers and generals on the side who were very surprised.

"You feel that way, huh? I thought I was the only one? ”

"Maybe the helmsmen who stepped on the boat in the past were lazy, and today they are going to fight, and it is estimated that they have become diligent!"

"It's possible, the big war is coming, let's not think about this, let's concentrate on waiting for the next battle!"

Listening to the discussion of the lieutenants and soldiers, a faint smile appeared on Gan Ning's face, among the people, except for the lord, I am afraid that only he who has suffered Zhou Yu's loss knows what is going on.

Gan Ning couldn't help but glance at Zhou Yu who was sitting in the middle of the boat, until now he still remembers the tragic day a few years ago, it was this guy at the beginning, in the water war in Jiangdong, he lost his calculations all at once, if it weren't for the old guy's might, there would be no Gan Xingba in the world, but from another point of view, if the water battle is commanded by this guy, then it does greatly increase the chances of victory for the side, after all, the other party's command of the water war, It is indeed that he has reached a height that ordinary people can't reach at all, and for this, he has to accept it.

While everyone was discussing the speed of the ship, Lu An was leaning on the deck of the building ship at this time, his face was calm, and he was thinking about whether there were still those flaws in his current march this time, but he thought about it, but he felt that he had taken all aspects into account, and there were many factors in the last defeat, such as underestimating the enemy, not letting the Jiangdong Army conduct regular water warfare training, and his own shortcomings in water warfare as a commander, etc., constituted his own defeat.

And this time, he invited Zhou Yu, the first general in water warfare, to do a year of water warfare training for the Jiangdong Army, and also noticed the existence of Liu Guanzhang and Wolong Phoenix Chicks on the other side.

A sea breeze blew, interrupting Lu An's thoughts, and also making Lu An, who had always been calm, a little nervous at this time, he couldn't help but say silently in his heart: "God, this time my Lu An's fate is betting on this, I have done my best, if I can't win, then it can only be said that I, Lu An, have lost my destiny!" ”

This is a battle that he can't afford to lose, Lu An is not nervous, Lu An never had these thoughts when he was a teenager before, that is because he had nothing at that time, and now he has entered the youth, has his own foundation, has the people he wants to protect, has the women he wants to protect, and has a son who is only two months old, all of this reminds Lu An all the time that in this battle, he must not lose again, and if he loses again, he will not have enough strength to protect the beloved women in his family, After all, in troubled times, there is a lot of life.
