"The Supreme has an order? At this time? Hearing this, Lu Xun's face changed suddenly as if he had heard the most terrifying ghost story in the world.

Any veteran of Eastern Wu is most worried about getting Sun Quan's instructions at a critical time. In many cases, under the blind command of Sun Quan, the battles that could barely be won could be directly defeated.

So Lu Xun has always been very afraid of this, for fear that Sun Quan would send him a warrant on a whim.

Fortunately, in the past few years, because the expansion of the territory was relatively smooth, in just a few years, Soochow swallowed the entire Jingzhou. Sun Quan was in a happy mood, and he concentrated on checks and balances, and basically stopped guiding in the war.

It's a pity that in the past few years, because Ma Tan was born, he and Zhuge Liang forcibly changed Shu Han's life against the sky. It was also because of Ma Tan that Soochow began to decline, while the poor neighbor next door stepped up to the top.

This made Sun Quan's heart rebalanced, and he was also anxious about the deteriorating war situation. So, Sun Quan's warrant reappeared on Wu Jiang's board, and he came back with the 100,000 Sun of the year.

Right now, Lu Xun encountered a scene that he didn't dare to dream of in his nightmares. At the moment when he was most needed to overcome public opinion, Sun Quan's warrant arrived, and he could basically guess the content.

Can you guess that the supreme of his own family has just been beaten by the Shu army, and the country has lost more than 50,000 soldiers and horses. Sun Quan is not a good-tempered person, how could he swallow his anger like this?

Ma Jian didn't dare to let the Wu army fight, and now that a lone army has appeared, Sun Quan naturally wants to find the field.

"What warrant does the Supreme have when I go back, now that the military affairs are busy, I can't take it." successively suppressed the panic in his heart, and pretended to be calm and played Tai Chi on Sun Quan's envoy.

"Wait for a certain to finish dealing with the current military affairs, and then take ...... next"

"Governor, the Supreme has instructed you to obey the military order this time." The envoy squinted his eyes, didn't give Lu Xun a chance to play Tai Chi at all, and said directly.

This posture basically shows Sun Quan's attitude. He had completely lost confidence in Lu Xun and made up his mind to intervene in this war.

In fact, Sun Quan trusted Lu Xun far more than all other generals. After all, as his son-in-law and governor, Sun Quan's patience and trust in him have reached the limit.

Even if Lu Xun was hurt by rumors for so many years, Sun Quan never lowered Lu Xun's trust. But in exchange for Lu Xun's cowardice again and again, and the situation of concealment and failure to report to him.

Under such circumstances, Sun Quan can still endure it until now, and he can be regarded as having a good temper to the extreme.

Seeing this situation, the generals of Eastern Wu probably guessed what Sun Quan meant. They all fell silent and looked at Lu Xun gloatingly.

You don't listen to our invitation, don't you listen to the Supreme Command?

Of course, there were also a few young generals whose faces froze, and they began to reflect on whether they were a little impulsive. Even the Supreme had the same idea as themselves, and they began to wonder if they were right.

But this is a minority after all, and most of the generals looked at Lu Xun and waited for him to take Sun Quan's warrant.

"Supreme...... Didn't he say that I was in charge of all military affairs? With the last glimmer of hope, Lu Xun looked at Sun Quan's envoy and asked almost pleadingly.

"Now, not anymore." The messenger was expressionless, calmly handed over the warrant, and extinguished Lu Xun's luck in the calmest tone.

"The Supreme asks you to go to war, eat this group of lonely Shu troops in depth, and raise the prestige of my Eastern Wu country!"

Hearing this, Lu Xun was completely desperate, tears slowly remained, and his face was gloomy.

"Supreme! I'm loyal to you......"

In the fourteenth year of Han Jianxing, Lu Xun was forced by Sun Quan to cry out of the city! Before leaving, Lu Xun personally wrote a suicide note, sent someone to send it back to Jianye, and walked out of Jiangling City with the belief of dying.

Since then, the main force of Dongwu that Ma Tan has been thinking about has finally come out of Jiancheng!

…………

…………

…………

"General Zhengnan, the 40,000 soldiers of the Wu army are divided into two routes, and they are dispatched from Jiangling and Xiakou respectively, and they are coming to our side!"

At this time, Liu Yin was leading more than 4,000 troops to camp north of Wulin, putting on an arrogant appearance to lure the Wu army. When the scout sent the latest movements of Soochow up, Liu Yin breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that there is no problem with my strategy, and the reckless men of Dongwu have finally been fooled." Liu Yin nodded slightly, let out a long breath, and ordered with a smile.

"Now that the other party has been brought out, the next step can be implemented. The whole army abandoned the baggage, only carried ten days' food, and made an embarrassed appearance, and it was necessary to lure the Wu army out of the riverbank! ”

The naval army of the Eastern Wu side is very strong, and the scale is not comparable to the Han army at all. Liu Yin feared that even if the Wu army was defeated on the banks of the Yangtze River, most of his troops would be able to escape under the cover of the navy.

If that is the case, it will be difficult for the Han army to settle the battle in one battle. If there are more soldiers and horses who escape, Gangneung will not be so easy to fight.

So now, Liu Yin's plan is to find a way to lead the Wu army to the north. It is best to lead it to the north of Qingni County, which is in the Great Plains, which is very suitable for the Han army to break the enemy.

So, under the command of Liu Yin, the Han army went all the way north along Huarong Road. Along the way, he frantically threw down baggage, grain, and even Xuanjia military flags, behaving very much like a weak brigade that had been recognized.

On the Eastern Wu side, Lu Xun seemed to have completely accepted his fate and directly gave up withdrawing his troops. After completing the round with the Wu army in the direction of Xiakou, the 40,000-strong army pursued all the way along the Jingxiang North Road.

Liu Yin chased from Wulin to the front line of Qingni, and Wu Jun also chased after him. Seeing this situation, Liu Yin was very satisfied, and while leading the troops to continue to retreat north, he mobilized his soldiers to prepare for a counterattack.

After the Han army arrived in Qingni, the defenders of Eastern Wu in Qingni suddenly opened the city to fight, trying to delay the Han army's northern retreat. As a result, the two sides fought under the city, and Liu Yin easily broke the defenders in the city, and then quickly entered the green mud, and burned the baggage of the Wu army before leaving.

This further aroused the indignation of the Wu generals, and they all screamed and pursued with all their might.

In this way, Liu Yin fought and walked, lost all his baggage along the way, and constantly looked for a decisive battlefield for the Han army. As a veteran, Liu Yin believed that as long as he found a suitable battlefield, he could defeat the Wu army for Ma Tan and recapture Jiangling.

As Ma Tan said, this time he plans to eat alone.

After several days of retreating north, Liu Yin finally stopped near Dangyang. He has always been intuitive, and the corners of his mouth finally showed a smile.

"Soldiers, this is it!"
