As early as this year, after Sun Quan adopted Lü Mengqi's suggestion to attack Jingzhou, he ordered Lü Meng to secretly raise a large army.

There are two military points of Eastern Wu that are closest to Jingzhou under Guan Yu's rule, one is Lukou and the other is Xiakou.

These two strongholds were originally the two military towns built by Lu Su during his lifetime in order to guard against Jingzhou.

Originally, it was the most convenient to raise a large army to these two important military towns, and it was also the quickest to launch a surprise attack on Jingzhou.

But these two military towns in Jiangdong were too close to Jingzhou.

In order to be on the safe side, Lü Meng secretly placed the assembly place of the army in Xunyang City in Lujiang County.

Although Xunyang is far away from Jingzhou, its city site is also on the riverside.

Lü Meng had chosen this place as the starting point for the Jiangdong army, and at that time, he could also use the power of water transportation to make the army have a surprise attack.

Moreover, Xunyang City and Jianye City face each other across the river, and it is closer to the heart of Jiangdong, so it is more convenient and faster to gather an army in Xunyang City, and it is more able to hide people's eyes and ears.

Lu Meng knew very well the truth of the speed of soldiers, because of Mi Yang's strategy, they had wasted too much time in Jiangdong.

Therefore, in order to grasp the time, after receiving the order of Sun Quan appointing him as the governor of the capital, Lu Meng did not set off for Xunyang before he left.

He ordered Sun Huan, the commander of the military guard of Shizhen Jianye, to lead the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to be the vanguard of the army and set off for the public security in advance.

Most of the Sun clansmen have brave personalities and are good at fast attack and quick combat.

The appointment of Sun Huan as the vanguard of the army is enough to play a role in boosting the morale of his own side.

Moreover, according to Lu Meng's expectations, Mi Yang would never have many soldiers and horses in the public security city.

Under such conditions, he will most likely not choose to go out of the city to face the vanguard army led by Sun Huan.

Therefore, Lu Meng's appointment of Sun Huan as a pioneer also has the meaning of making Sun Huan meritorious in vain.

And after being appointed by Lu Meng, Sun Huan has always wanted to prove himself through meritorious service.

On the day that he was appointed as the vanguard by Lu Meng, Sun Huan urgently summoned hundreds of warships outside Jianye City, and then he led the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to drive these hundreds of warships towards Gong'an City.

Even though it is winter, the Yangtze River does not have much water.

However, due to the fact that most of the warships used by Sun Huan's army this time were shipwhelms, they were small in size and fast in speed.

Therefore, the scarcity of water in the Yangtze River did not have much impact on Sun Huan's marching speed.

And starting from Jianye all the way to the public security, along the way, you are bound to pass through the beacon tower set up by Guan Yu along the river.

When Sun Huan set off from Jianye, Lu Meng gave him advice:

"You can hide the elite soldiers in the ship, make the white clothes swing the oar, make the merchant clothes, and travel day and night, you can confuse the enemy army and take the beacon tower by surprise."

What Lu Meng thought was that although Guan Yu's side had long known that his side was going to attack Jingzhou.

But as long as those beacons can be successfully taken, not to mention the effect of making Guan Yu defenseless.

But at least it can also allow Guan Yu's side to greatly reduce the probability of knowing their specific date of dispatch, which is also conducive to his next expedition.

And when Sun Huan first heard Lu Meng's plan, he immediately praised Lu Meng as a heavenly man in his heart.

After he set off, at first he did honestly follow Lu Meng's strategy.

He ordered some of the pioneer troops in the army, dressed in civilian clothes and without armor.

They converted all the warships they piloted into merchant ships, and then ordered some of the soldiers to hide in their cabins.

It was going well at first.

But unexpectedly, after his pioneer troops entered the range of the beacon tower set up by Guan Yu, Guan Yu's soldiers in the beacon tower immediately ignited wolf smoke after seeing the costume of his pioneer troops.

And the soldiers in the beacon tower had already prepared to fire rockets at his pioneer troops.

Caught off guard, Sun Huan's pioneer troops suffered heavy losses.

When this change was reported to Sun Huan, he was instantly stunned.

Things have developed beyond his expectations, but at this point, he can only order his soldiers to storm the beacon.

Fortunately, Guan Yu did not have many soldiers in the beacon tower.

Although there were setbacks at the beginning, under the suppression of the number of people, Sun Huan was finally in danger on the way to the public security.

Along the way, the beacon towers set up by Guan Yu were also pulled out by him one by one.

After several days of rapid marching, Sun Huan was now standing in front of the last beacon tower set up by Guan Yu along the river.

Sun Huan inherited the excellent physiognomy genes of the Sun family, and he was just twenty years old, wearing fine armor and looking dignified.

At this time, he held a long sword and stared at Guan Yu's soldier who was pressed to his knees by his soldiers with a pair of narrow eyes.

He asked the soldier in a threatening tone, "Do you surrender or not!" ”

After asking this sentence, Sun Huan had already put his sword on the soldier's neck.

But unexpectedly, Sun Huan was asking this sentence, and the Jingzhou soldier actually laughed, and he scolded Sun Huan,

"Wu Gou, you invade my territory for no reason, I am Guan Gong's own soldier, how can I descend such a despicable villain as you."

This soldier not only spoke insults to Sun Huan, but his tone was also full of contempt and disdain for Sun Huan.

Sun Huan has been pampered since he was a child, and he has never been humiliated by a high-ranking person, not to mention that now a small soldier humiliates him with wild words.

Sun Huan was furious, and swung his sword and slashed at the Jingzhou pawn.

A stream of blue blood splattered and sprayed on Sun Huan's angry face.

The hot blood was reflected on the cold face, and it seemed that Sun Huan at this time was even more annoying.

After slashing and killing the Jingzhou pawn, Sun Huan raised the long sword in his hand and walked towards the next one.

He placed his sword on the head of another Jingzhou soldier and asked the same question.

But even in the face of the threat of this sword hanging from his neck, even in the face of the warning that his comrades had just died by his side, this Jingzhou soldier still expressed a clear refusal in the face of Sun Huan's persuasion.

But this time, Sun Huan didn't give the soldier a chance to insult him, and decisively cut him down.

Then Sun Huan ordered his own soldiers to take these captured Jingzhou soldiers into a column and tie their hands together.

Every time Sun Huan comes next, he will persuade one person to surrender.

But what he never expected was that until he killed more than a dozen Jingzhou soldiers, in the end, no one was willing to surrender.

What made Sun Huan even more incomprehensible was that he had captured at least hundreds of Jingzhou soldiers along the way to the public security.

Then the hundreds of Jingzhou soldiers were all like the people he beheaded today, and they would rather die than surrender!

This scene made even Sun Huan, who was in a hostile position, feel a little admiration in his heart.

Is this the charm of that Guan Gong?

It's just that although he has some admiration for Guan Yu, Sun Huan, who is from an extraordinary background, has no sympathy and guilt for these people at the bottom of the army lying on the ground.

Sun Huan took out a piece of cloth from his waist, and then carefully wiped his sword.

The lives of more than a dozen people who had just been ended by his own hands were not as important to him as to whether his sword was clean or not.

The reason why he personally persuaded him to surrender today was not because he valued these Jingzhou soldiers very much.

In his eyes, these people are just mud under his feet.

It's just that Sun Huan saw that he was about to arrive at the public security, and none of the people he had captured before had surrendered, so he thought about coming to persuade him to surrender in person, maybe it would be useful.
