What is the courage of his own supreme, to be honest, Lu Fan is still very clear. Although the level of strategy and coordination is very strong, in general, compared to Sun Ce, he lacks courage and bravery.

But at this moment, Lu Fan was shocked by Sun Quan's timidity again.

It's all hit to this point, and the Supreme still wants to calm things down. And you are all called the emperor, the emperor and everything is done, why do you still want to back down?

So far, no one has ever heard of it being canceled after being called emperor.

When the time comes, how will this Jiangdong father look at you? Those Eastern Wu clans can't look down on you even more? Originally, it would have been difficult to suppress these scholars with your prestige, but now that you are so cowardly, the Jiangdong scholars will not be allowed to on your face after that?

In fact, at first, the Shizu clan in Koto was not strong enough to influence the regime. Back then, Sun Ce slaughtered all sides in Jiangdong, and those wealthy families still had to bow their heads honestly.

During the Battle of Chibi, as long as Sun Quan dared to fight hard, the Jiangdong Shi clan still had to listen to him.

In the final analysis, although it is difficult to play with the scholars, it is also difficult for you to be difficult for them. If you have the courage to flip the table, most of the time it is the nobles who will back down first.

It's a pity that Sun Quan's courage is a little worse after all, what he lacks most is courage. The Battle of Chibi was one of the few things he dared to fight for, and he could only be a dog in the future.

"Supreme, this matter is very important, you have to think about it!" Lu Fan took a deep breath, suppressed his disappointment for a long time, shook his head lightly and said.

"At this moment, Xishu Cao Wei has sent troops and vowed to drink the Yangtze River, even if you retreat now, I am afraid you will not get a response. It's better to fight hard, if you can successfully repel Wei Shu's army, this Eastern Wu will be completely Supreme from now on! ”

"In the past, Bo Fu was able to open up the foundation of Jiangdong with 2,000 soldiers and intimidate people all over the world. Now the Supreme has more than 100,000 soldiers, and Jing Yang has all returned to the Supreme, and An can be cowardly without fighting? ”

Lu Fan said very implicitly, and mentioned Sun Ce a little, which can be regarded as giving Sun Quan a little face. Otherwise, if you really start scolding, Lu Fan really wants to point at his nose and scold you for being a coward.

Lu Fan was an old minister in the Sun Ce period, and his words still carried a lot of weight. Sun Quan weighed the pros and cons, and finally gave up the idea of backing down for the time being.

Sun Quan appointed Lü Fan as the commander-in-chief of the Wet Dock and was responsible for guarding against Cao Xiu's offensive. At the same time, Sun Quan dispatched 30,000 Jiangdong soldiers to Jiangling to help, while he declared that he would personally go to Wuchang to supervise the battle.

The war in Jingzhou was destined to lead to a large-scale war.

…………

…………

…………

The Jiangdong side came to confront the Wei army of the Shu army with its main force, and the Shu army was also making preparations for the next step.

Zhuge Liang's original plan was to follow the path taken by the first emperor and conquer Yiling Yaoting. Then the land and water advanced to push the battle line to the line of Yiting, and sent the main force to attack Yidao and confront the Wu army.

However, Dongwu's crotch pulling was really beyond Wuhou's expectations, and Ma Yan's thousands of soldiers and horses conquered Yidao.

At this time, Lu Xun was still on the front line of Jiangling to reorganize his troops and horses, and he had to gather the Wu army before setting off. Therefore, there is no one to defend the west of Caiyi Road, and the Shu army can easily capture this place.

Since this is the case, Zhuge Liang also advanced further, and the navy and army marched together to station in the area of Yidao. Set up camp by the mountains and rivers, and build another camp in the north of the river against the Yi Road for defense.

Of course, in addition to advancing the front, Zhuge Liang also set his sights on the four counties of Jingnan.

The four counties of Jingnan were Liu Bei's earliest foundation and the first areas governed by Zhuge Liang. After these places were occupied by Soochow, they have been fished by the sustainable exhaustion, and the infrastructure that Zhuge Liang organized back then was all cheap Jiangdong scholars.

Therefore, the attitude of these places to be close to Shu Han is very obvious, and they are all dissatisfied with the rule of Eastern Wu. Moreover, the barbarians in the Wuling area also have blood feuds with Eastern Wu, and they are both objects that can be wooed.

However, there were differences on who to send to Jingnan to stir up various forces to oppose Wu.

"Prime Minister, send me anyway! Back then, my brother was able to persuade the Wuling barbarians to oppose Wu Zhuhan, and I can too! Ma Jian patted his chest and reassured, speaking that it was called a confidence.

Harassing behind enemy lines and persuading Jingnan's pro-Han forces to rebel is what Ma Tan yearns for the most. It's not just because of the high risk, it's also an obsession of the original owner, Ma Yan.

But for Ma Tan's invitation to fight, Zhuge Liang just glared at him and shook his head gently,

"You just honestly let me stay in the camp and reflect on it, don't think about leading the troops out."

"When will you understand the importance of military orders before you can go out!"

Every time after the war, Ma Jian was always the one who violated the military order. Although the extraneous operations he engaged in can always make things develop in a good direction, Zhuge Liang doesn't like this.

It's true that you've been winning and you've always been able to win, but who knows when you're going to lose? Now it's good to say that if a small group of troops led by Yi Ma Yan loses the battle, there will not be much loss.

But in the future, when Ma Jian began to be in charge of the operations of the large corps and began to be responsible for military operations in the general direction, this kind of adventure was fatal. It is likely that if he loses once, he will lose all the accumulation of more than ten years of Shu Han.

So Zhuge Liang's attitude is very clear this time, you Ma Jian will sit down honestly for me. When will you understand that military orders cannot be violated, and when will you understand the importance of stability?

"Prime Minister! Jing Nan can't do without me! ”

Ma Jian straightened his back and protested against Zhuge Liang's order. But it was ignored by Zhuge Liang,

"This Jingnan surrender, Wu Ban is in charge for the time being. Be sure to pay attention to safety, don't be plotted by Soochow children! ”

"Yui!" Wu Ban took over the task and replied with arched hands.

"Chen Shi, responsible for leading the troops to defend Jingnan, is ready to meet Wu Ban at any time. Ma Tan Liu Yin Gao Xiang was stationed in Jiangbei with me, preparing to fight head-on with the main force of Eastern Wu! Zhuge Liang then made a series of deployments, and perfectly locked Ma Jian firmly in the main camp.

This arrangement made Ma Jian very dissatisfied, and the prime minister didn't believe in our strength. I'm a dignified general, when have I ever sat on a cold bench!

The only good news is that Zhuge Liang did not take away the old Jingzhou troops who surrendered. He temporarily handed over these troops to Ma Tan, who commanded the battle.

After arranging all the work, Zhuge Liang turned his head and saw Ma Yan's constipated expression. Gently shaking the feather fan, Zhuge Liang nodded Ma Jian with his hand, with a bit of helplessness in his tone.

"Young Chang, don't be so reckless! You like to use soldiers so much, how can I trust the army to you in the future! ”

Although the words are reproachful, Zhuge Liang's meaning can be heard. Now Zhuge Liang has decided that Ma Jian is his heir, at least in the army.

According to Zhuge Liang's ideal situation, after him, Ma Tan was in charge of the Northern Expedition.

"Isn't that still you? If there is a prime minister, the sky will not fall in the Han! Ma Jian waved his hand and replied indifferently about the matter.

"In the future Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, there will be no big problems with you. By the time I take command of the army, I'm afraid that the whole world will be unified, and the Han will be revived! ”

"You kid, you know how to make sycophants!" Zhuge Liang shook his head speechlessly, and patted Ma Jian on the head with a feather fan.

"Of course, it's useless to pat yourself on the back, let me stay in the camp honestly! If you let me know that you kid is trying to sneak out, don't blame me for depriving you of your military power! ”
