Chapter 90: The Han Army Retreats

Lu Xun made it a condition to submit to Sun Yi, and contacted the military ministers of the court to force Sun Yi to remove Sima Yi. Otherwise, he said that he would rather return to Ji Han. Speaking of which, this can be regarded as a "military admonition". However, although this move was powerful, he knew that although Sun Xi was not a master, he was not a person who was willing to be threatened. There was still a lot of chaos in the city, but he really didn't expect Sun Yi to agree to his "unreasonable" request, easily remove Sima Yi from the post of Taifu, and agree to enter the city himself.

When the news came, the camp was in an uproar, and all the generals were elated, thinking that all the problems had been solved, and Dongwu could immediately unite together to fight against Ji Han. Lu Xun only felt powerlessness for a while.

He found Sima Yi too difficult to deal with.

During this time, he made a lot of trouble. As Sun Deng's party, he lightly left the ground, imprisoned Ding Feng, disobeyed Sun Wei's will, and met with the Han lord in private. Under normal circumstances, there is only one way to die in this kind of behavior, not only will he die, but he will also be beheaded all over the house, leaving no one. But Lu Xun knew that this was just under normal circumstances. At present, although Sun Wei is the emperor, he does not have such great strength. After all, he is a prince, he is highly capable, and his family is a big family in Eastern Wu, not to mention, there are thousands of private soldiers alone, and there are countless officials in various prefectures. Now that Ji Han is attacking, the epidemic has been eliminated in various places, rumors are spreading, and it is an eventful autumn, and Sun Wei does not dare to attack himself easily at this time. Not only that, but without full control of Eastern Wu, he will take good care of the Lu family and will not harm them. So he's not worried about himself. Moreover, at present, due to Ji Han's attack, Sun Shu can only defend in Jiangbei, otherwise he will ascend the throne. Returning from defeat, how can he see Jiangdong's fathers? Sun Quan's death is unclear, the people of Eastern Wu are in turmoil, although the crown prince Sun Deng was defeated, his prestige among the people is above Sun Wei, and his soft power in Jiangdong is not weaker than Sun Wei. This is the reason why Lu Xun let Sun Deng go to Jiangdong alone. As long as the prince can get the support of Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong, he will gain a firm foothold and stabilize Jiangnan. Then even if Jiangbei is defeated, Soochow still has the strength to recover. The battle with Sun Shu was not a failure.

And he stayed in the north for only two purposes: one was to use the power of Ji Han to deal with Sun Shu and Sima Yi, and the other was to use the power of Sun Wei to resist the army of Ji Han coming like a tide, so that Eastern Wu would not be defeated and lost because of this battle.

At present, although he and the Wuchen of Eastern Wu have different factions, they have a long history of cherishing each other. As long as they show that they are willing to take refuge in Sun Wei, they will persuade Sun Shu to absolve him of all responsibility and agree to join the court no matter what. Sima Yi first entered the court. will inevitably hold on to the power in hand. And at this time, Sima Yi will definitely object, because his threat to him is obvious, even if Sun Yi can tolerate himself, Sima Yi will not tolerate himself no matter what. At that time, the relationship between Sima Yi and the generals became more and more tense, and he could take the opportunity to design. Remove Sima Yi with the elite soldiers hidden in the lower billet.

But he didn't expect that his first move was to deal with Sima Yi with Wenchen, and before he could act, Sima Yi arrested Kan Ze, the head of Wenchen. His second move was to use martial arts to suppress him. But Sima Yi hadn't parried yet, so he "admitted defeat". Lu Xun only felt that he made two moves, and both times it seemed to hit the air, soft and weak, and almost flashed his arm.

It's a ploy! It's a strategy for Sima Yi and Sun Yi to partner against themselves! As soon as you enter the city and lose the protection of the army, you will have to die on your own. But. At the moment, on the surface, Sun Wei has made enough concessions to him, and if he doesn't enter the city again, he is afraid that he will lose the heart of the Eastern Wu generals, and if they don't come to attack him in a group, it will be troublesome at that time.

However, this kind of conspiracy only deals with others, and he is not afraid of him.

He immediately wrote to Sun Xun: "Your Majesty trusts Lu Xun. Lu Xun dared to disobey. However, since ancient times, all the birds have been flying and the bow has been hidden, although Lu Xun did not give up and died in state affairs. but he was not willing to die at the hands of his own people. "Directly singled out this conspiracy.

After a while, Sun Xi replied: "The general raised an army to rebel, I don't offend you, the general forced the palace to claim power, I don't offend you, the general held soldiers and horses, and asked for too much, do you really think that I have an army of 100,000 and can't govern you?" Aggressive, what is your own loyalty? ”

Lu Xun replied again: "If you want to enter the city, it is not difficult, as long as Sima Yi's head falls, Lu Xun will enter the city immediately." ”

Sun Wei refused: "The generals and soldiers forced the palace, let me kill the minister, take me as the Han Jing, and Yi as the wrong one?" If so, who is the general? ”

This time, it was Xu Sheng who delivered the message. Xu Sheng looked at Lu Xun with anger on his face: "Bo Yan, you have made enough trouble now, Sima Yi has been removed from office and imprisoned, and His Majesty has forgiven your sins, what else do you have to do?" ”

Lu Xun smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty is lying to me, can't Brother Wen Xiang see it?" ”

Xu Sheng said: "I only know that Your Majesty has lost face because of you, if you are no longer sincere, don't blame Xu Sheng for not recognizing you as a brother!" ”

"However," Xu Sheng said again, "you just have to enter the city, if there is any problem, everything is on Xu Sheng." ”

Lu Xun got Xu Sheng's promise and knew that it was not too much, if he continued to stalemate with Sun Wei, he was afraid that Sun Wei would really not care about the life or death of Dongwu and send a large army to deal with him, or risk that his entire army would be lost, and force himself to attack Ji Han, although he was completely sure that he would use false information to preserve his strength in the gap of the big war and calmly move between the two armies, but the danger to Dongwu would be greatly increased.

It's funny to say, during this period of time, although Ji Han came with great fanfare and was agitated day by day, he didn't really enter the army, and no one dared to take the initiative to provoke Ji Han, and even between his words, he rarely scolded Ji Han for his wolf ambitions, and as for Ji Han's words about killing Sun Quan, he didn't dare to mention it again.

This is the role of strength, Lu Xun knows that Ji Han is waiting for the internal changes in Dongwu at the moment, and Sun Xian, like himself, is waiting for the best opportunity to weaken the other party, before this opportunity appears, no one dares to act easily, lest the praying mantis catch cicadas and cheapen Ji Han's yellow bird in vain.

Between Sun Xun and Sun Xi, there is always one party that wants to back down, and since Sun Shu has resolutely refused to retreat, then Lu Xun will also act. However, despite Xu Sheng's promise, he still believes in his own strength. He first moved the barracks and moved closer to the billet. His unusual movement immediately caused Sun Wei's nervousness. Lu Xun said that in order to keep his own safety, he had to do this. As long as Your Majesty does not harm me after I enter the city, the army will definitely not commit any crimes. His actions like this made Sun Wei extremely angry, but there was nothing he could do. At present, Lu Xun has a lot of people, and if he really makes trouble, Dongwu is afraid that he will die in his hands.

Just when Lu Xun was about to enter the city to see Sun Xian, Ji Hanjun suddenly sent an urgent report, because the Empress Dowager Sun Shangxiang suddenly fell seriously ill, the Han lord Liu Chan led the army away!

This news stirred Soochow like a thunderbolt. No one thought that Ji Han would come with great fanfare, cover the flag and go away, coming like thunder and going like a breeze.

The ministers of Eastern Wu looked at each other, unable to believe and disbelief, and asked what was going on. The news came ashamedly, it turned out that the news of Sun Quan's death reached Chang'an, and Sun Shangxiang knew that Sun Shangxiang's health was not very good, and she fell ill all of a sudden, and the imperial doctor immediately spread the news that she was critically ill, saying that she only had a few months to live. When Sun Shangxiang was ill, he wrote to Liu Chan and told him that he hoped that he would read it on her land and not attack his nephew at the funeral.

Liu Chan cried when he got the news, and left the camp to the north that night. With his departure, the Han army also withdrew to the front line of Xutian County, and the pressure on Eastern Wu was greatly reduced.

"Is this news true? Will Liu Chan give up this opportunity to attack for the sake of the county lord? ”

"It should be true, Liu Chan went to Soochow when he was young, and it was the county lord who stabbed himself with a sword in front of the first emperor, and almost died before the first emperor let Liu Chan leave. Liu Chan established diplomatic relations with my Great Wu after the Great War of Weinan, and the first thing he did was to send my Great Wu back to the county lord. Now that the county lord is critically ill, he always claims to be a filial son, and he will definitely go back to Chang'an. ”

"I don't think so, although Liu Chan calls himself a filial son, but he is the queen of Liu Bei, he has a stoic temperament and a selfless heart, even if he has a deep relationship with the county lord's mother and son, let him give up the vested results, I am afraid that he will not either. This time he left, I was afraid that it was to see General Lu return to His Majesty, and Dongwu had become a monolith, and he could no longer attack, so he had no choice but to leave. ”

"Well, it makes sense."

When the news reached Lu Xun, Lu Xun couldn't help but be surprised. In fact, this was exactly what he personally arranged. The news of Sun Quan's death and Liu Chan's southward departure has always been highly confidential and must not be reported to Chang'an or the harem. Before Lu Xun attacked Shangyong in Wancheng, he had thought of Wuguan to attack Chang'an, but because Liu Chan prepared in advance, he failed to implement it, but he successfully established an intelligence network to Chang'an. When Sun Quan learned that this news was blocked after his death, he immediately realized that it could be exploited. At that moment, he asked Sun Deng to personally write a sincere blood letter and let his confidants take him to Chang'an. As long as Sun Shangxiang knows this news, she will definitely recall Liu Chan. This is also the reason why Lu Xun is confident that he can retreat from the Han army. It's just that he didn't expect that he hadn't completely solved the matter of the billet and didn't kill Sima Yi, and the Han army actually retreated.

However, the Han army retreated earlier than he expected!

Now that Ji Han's pressure was lost, the effect of the military advice was greatly reduced, and even if Sun Shu attacked him with a backhand, he couldn't stop it. Dangerous! Lu Xun immediately realized this, and he immediately ordered his troops, intending to retreat from the billet. But it was late, the two armies were too close, and Sun Wei, who had already been angry with him, was willing to let him leave easily, and with an order, the Eastern Wu men and horses were dispatched to surround Lu Xun on three sides.
