Between the white emperor and the clouds, thousands of miles of Jiangling will be returned in one day. The sound of apes on both sides of the www.biquge.info can't be stopped, and the light boat has passed the ten thousand mountains.

The middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are much wider than the section from Baidi City to Jiangling, and the water flow is correspondingly much slower, but with the help of wind, manpower and animal power, the Jingzhou navy is still very fast.

When Guan Gong led the army to the city of Jianye, the palace of Dongwu had just received the news of the defeat of the naval army in front of him, and the ministers in the court were still arguing and arguing, and they had not yet discussed the appearance of an ugly man.

The hall was full of civil and military, and in addition to the surrender faction and the death faction as always, there was also one more escape faction. On the eve of the Battle of Chibi, the Eastern Wu court was only divided into surrender factions and death factions.

Many of the ministers were from large families rooted in the Soochow region, and they advocated surrender for the sake of the family's interests, so as not to suffer losses in the war.

The die-hard faction represented by Zhou Yu believed that the interests of these ministers would not be damaged after surrendering, and they could still continue to mix and flourish in the Cao Wei court, but for the Sun family, the end would definitely be miserable.

Cao Cao could tolerate those ministers who surrendered, but he certainly couldn't tolerate Sun Quan, who was also a prince. So, after listening to Zhou Yu's persuasion, Sun Quan resolutely decided to fight against Cao's army with all his might.

The current situation is more severe than the Battle of Chibi, although the Cao army at the time of the Battle of Chibi is strong, although it also gives people a feeling of being difficult to defeat, but after all, there is still a chance. The current comparison of the strength of the Eastern Wu army and the Han army is simply a difference between cloud and mud, giving people a feeling that it is impossible to defeat.

Thus, a third faction was born, that is, the escape faction. Moreover, this escape faction was not born today, but it has existed a long time ago, and the imperial court has made a lot of preparations for this, such as preparing some escaping ships, stockpiling some belongings, food and other materials, and so on.

Although everyone was mentally prepared, they didn't expect this day to come so early and so suddenly. Suddenly, everyone was at a loss, no, an emergency meeting was held overnight in the court to discuss what to do next.

The surrender faction has always been the majority, whether it was during the Battle of Chibi or now, most ministers first consider what to do to benefit their families, and there is no doubt that surrender is the best way to preserve the interests of the family.

During the Battle of Chibi, there were strong figures like Zhou Yu in charge of the army, and Sun Quan, one of the three great heroes in the world to make decisions, the key is that they still had a powerful naval army to rely on at that time, so they could force the majority of the surrender faction to suppress the majority of the people.

Now it's different, there is no strongman like Zhou Yu, and as soon as Sun Quan dies, the lord Shaoguo is suspicious, and the young Sun Deng can't control the government at all, let alone do what he says like Sun Quan. At such a critical moment, he did not have the right to make the final decision, which led to the court inevitably falling into endless quarrels.

The most important thing is that their naval army has been wiped out, and without the reliance of force, everything is empty talk, so the main battle faction has been unprecedentedly weak, the surrender faction has been unprecedentedly strong, and the escape faction has also been weakened to a certain extent.

While everyone was arguing, Lu Xun finally fled back to Jianye at the last moment with 10,000 or 20,000 sailors and horses who abandoned the ship. After coming back, he didn't say a word, entered the palace and robbed the young master Sun Deng, and then escaped from Jianye at the last moment when the Han army was encircled.

Lu Xun was originally a main battle faction, but now he has become an escape faction, in fact, the main battle faction and the escape faction have something in common, and they can be transformed into each other under certain conditions. Obviously, the condition for Lu Xun's transformation is that the Dongwu naval army has failed, and Dongwu has lost the strength to confront the Han, and at this time, there is no way to confront the Han.

Lu Xun was forced to transform into a fugitive, he led the troops to fight against Shu Han for a long time, and once came up with countless conspiracies to damage the interests of the Han Dynasty, he knew that there must be many people in the Han army who hated him very much, eager to drink his blood and eat his flesh.

If others don't say it, Guan Gong will not let him go first, but he made Guan Gong miserable back then. When he took advantage of Guan Gong's Northern Expedition, he came up with the idea of copying Guan Gong's back road, which not only made Guan Gong's army defeated, but the key was that Guan Gong's idea of shaking the world and achieving a meritorious career was ruined.

Guan Gong even looked down on Sun Quan and called his son a "dog", which shows how proud he is. But he was almost killed by one of Sun Quan's inconspicuous subordinates, which was the biggest shame in his life for the arrogant Guan Gong, and this kind of shame was worse than killing him.

Lu Xun is obviously also a person who knows Guan Gong very well, and knows that he has offended Guan Gong to death. And Guan Gong's status in the Han Dynasty is very important, even the little emperor respects him, if Guan Gong wants to kill himself, even if the little emperor values his talent and wants to save his life, he may not be able to offend Guan Gong for himself.

Therefore, Lu Xun is different from other ministers, he thinks that he has no way out, only one way to go to the dark. This is also why he can't surrender, even if he loses the battle, he can only change to become a fugitive.

Lu Xun took 10,000 or 20,000 horses, together with a small number of main battle factions and escape factions in the court, coerced Sun Deng, the young master of Eastern Wu, and escaped from Jianye on the sea ship that had been prepared long ago, escaped from the mouth of the Yangtze River, and escaped into the vast sea.

Before the war, Liu Hou and his think tank repeatedly analyzed the possible situations after the defeat of Eastern Wu, of which there were two most worrying situations, one was that after the defeat of the Eastern Wu naval army, they escaped into Yunmengze and became a water bandit in the vast Yunmengze.

The second is that the remnants of Eastern Wu fled to the sea, hid in Yizhou or any small island, and then waited for an opportunity to rise. Both of these conditions are headaches. After Sima Yi's ingenious design, the turtle in the urn broke the Dongwu naval army, hundreds of thousands of troops were wiped out, and the situation of escaping into Yunmengze and becoming a water bandit should not appear.

However, the second situation still inevitably appeared, although Guan Gong's actions were very fast, and he rushed over non-stop along the way, but he still failed to stop Sun Deng's escape.

Lu Xun played an important role in this, after all, Lu Xun is a top strategist, and he is still very able to anticipate the enemy's opportunities. He had long expected that Guan Gong would definitely rush to Jianye to deal with the Eastern Wu Dynasty as quickly as possible, so as soon as he saw the defeat in front of him, he decisively broke his tail to survive, and ordered the remnants of the navy to abandon the warship on which the navy relied to survive and escape.

At the same time, he led these remnants of the army to collect some civilian ships, and also rushed back to Jianye Qinwang as quickly as possible. After all, he took the opportunity to set off first, and finally let him return to Jianye a little earlier than Guan Gong, and coerced Sun Deng to escape from Jianye.
