Zhuge Liang suggested that Qin Mi, a great talent in central Shu, be sent to carry out this task, and Liu Bei naturally agreed.

Next, is the arrangement of our own troops.

According to Longzhong's strategy, the Northern Expedition must go in two directions at the same time.

Go out of Hanzhong, attack Guanzhong, plus go out of Jingzhou, and go north to Wancheng and Luoyang.

Jingzhou is easy to talk about.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei happened to get together and let the two lead troops to attack together. No matter who Cao Wei was, his scalp would go numb with fright.

On the other side of Jiangling, with the team left behind by Liu Chan, Sun Quan must not make the same problem again.

The next step is to choose the leading general who will attack Guanzhong.

"Naturally, it's an orphanage." Liu Bei said in a deep voice.

In Liu Bei's view, there is no need to think too much about the candidates for attacking Guanzhong.

Definitely do it yourself.

In the last small-scale Northern Expedition, he didn't bring many soldiers and horses, and there was not enough food and grass. Seeing that Cao Zhen and Zhang He had already made sufficient preparations, they did not attack by force.

But this time is different.

Since he wanted to teach Cao Pi a lesson, he must not send too few troops. He was confident that he would have a good fight with Cao Zhen and Zhang He.

But this time, Zhuge Liang shook his head slightly.

"This time, it is not suitable for the king to conquest himself.

The minister recommended the son as a general, commanded the army, and sent troops to the Northern Expedition! "

"Why?!" Liu Bei wondered,

"Adou is currently working hard in Nanzhong, and he doesn't know when he will be able to return. Why does the military division choose Adou?"

Liu Chan's Southern Expedition made Liu Bei very concerned.

In his impression, Nanzhong is full of barbarians, ferocious beasts, miasma, diseases, and all kinds of witches and evil spirits.

In order to share his worries, Liu Chan directly led the army to go deep without saying a word, and it was not easy to settle Gao Ding who had rebelled before and Yong Kai and Zhu Bao who were about to make trouble.

Since he left Chengdu last year, he has been fighting,

Can't he let him take a good rest and let himself, the father, go into battle?

Zhuge Liang shook his head slowly, and said solemnly:

"In the past, it would be natural for the king to personally send troops to boost morale.

But this time it won't work, within this year, the king and his ministers must sit in Chengdu, and there must be no carelessness. "

"The rise and fall of a great man is all about this.

For the sake of the big man, he had no choice but to wrong the prince and work hard. "

Chapter 275 The Exiled Lu Xun

"It seems that Cao Pi really doesn't want to wait for a moment."

Sun Quan, who was in Jiangdong, also received news from Li Fu urging Cao Pi to proclaim himself emperor.

The atmosphere is different this time, and Xiangrui has come out. It seems that Cao Pi is determined to complete the final steps quickly, completely throwing off the puppet emperor and doing it alone.

Phew, he should have been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Thinking of this, Sun Quan was slightly envious.

He is five years older than Cao Pi. Cao Pi has already advanced frantically on the road to the Han Dynasty, and he is destined to leave a strong mark in history.

But Sun Quan is not necessarily so.

If the big man is gone, can I, the big man Hussar General and Marquis of Nanchang, still do it?

People in the court have been discussing a lot these days, and they all think that Liu Bei will never sit back and watch Cao Pi become emperor without doing anything.

Zhang Zhao believed that with Liu Bei's temperament, he would definitely launch a large-scale Northern Expedition, and he might even play tricks on the whole family. Sun Quan had to be prepared.

It's hard to say something like destiny, maybe this destiny will come to Sun Quan one day.

Sun Quan is also actively preparing.

Although the battle of Shiting did not wipe out the main force of Cao Wei, it still had great symbolic significance to Sun Quan.

This is Soochow's first complete victory since Jian'an's 20-year defeat in Hefei.

Cao Xiu, the general of Cao Wei's clan, shot an arrow in the face in this fierce battle (fortunately, Ma Di was not strong enough), and thousands of Wei troops died in this fierce battle.

This can be described as an extremely beautiful blocking battle.

After the war, both Luo Tong and Ma Di claimed that it was Sun Quan who commanded well. It was Sun Quan who detected the enemy's movements early and started to lay out the layout, which led to the victory in the Battle of Shiting.

Now Sun Quan's prestige has increased greatly, and he has almost returned to the level after the Battle of Chibi.

And God also gave me face, the spring plowing in Soochow was going well this year, and the work of grasping Shanyue was also going very smoothly.

Sun Quan's scars were almost licked, and he turned his eyes to the land to the north that made him dream about.

Hefei.

In history, Sun Quan's territory far exceeded that of Sun Ce,

But no matter how hard Sun Quan tried, he couldn't reach Sun Ce's height.

Because in history, in the fourth year of Jian'an, Sun Ce once occupied Hefei...

If it weren't for Sun Ce's assassination and death, Liu Fu, a bastard, took the opportunity to attack Hefei,

Later, it was Yu Fan guarding the house, and Sun Ce led Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu and others to besiege Shouchun.

Hefei!Hefei!

Only when he conquered Hefei, would Sun Quan surpass his elder brother's accomplishments completely.

Only by defeating Hefei can he end the nightmare that has lasted in his heart for five years.

It is an opportunity for Cao Pi to become emperor.

Perhaps it is Sun Quan's last chance to fight for world hegemony.

Sun Quan ordered Zhuge Jin, Bu Zhi, and Luo Tong to prepare for the Northern Expedition as soon as possible.

This battle is of great significance, and the Wujun family also changed their previous attitude of Xianyu, actively striving to be the first,

Zhu Ran took the initiative to ask Sun Quan for orders, and asked the commander-in-chief's headquarters to obey Luo Tong's dispatch.

In addition, Zhu Ran also actively recommended to Sun Quan a character who made Sun Quan quite entangled.

Lu Xun.

Sun Quan has no doubts about Lu Xun's ability.

But during last year's war, Lu Xun's suspicion of collaborating with the enemy was undoubtedly exposed.

He first indulged Ding Feng's attack on Changsha, then commanded indiscriminately and caused Song Qian's tragic death, and toasted Zhou Tai frequently, resulting in Zhou Tai's death from poison.

Not to mention that Liu Chan had anticipated that he would change his name long before leaving Yizhou...

This person must have fallen to Liu Chan early on, obviously to avenge Lu Kang.

Because of him, Sun Quan's long-term preparations fell through completely, and he fell into the predicament of almost destroying the country.

Wouldn't it be extremely stupid to use Sun Quan again?

He didn't dare to kill Lu Xun yet, so he could only pretend that there was no such person.

Now that Zhu Ran mentioned it, Sun Quan was really annoyed.

Okay, since you said it, I'll give Lu Xun a chance.

"I heard that the son of the world sent the great sage Pan Jun to Wuxi to comfort the barbarians. In just half a year, the barbarians in the mountains were convinced and Wuling became rich.

Take Boyan as the prefect of Yulin, and go to Jiaozhou to Fuyi! "

"This……"

Zhu Ran, who recommended Lu Xun, was dumbfounded on the spot.

Prefect Yu Lin.

This is Lu Ji's previous official position.

Wouldn't it be like exile to let Lu Xun go there?

Lu Ji was deeply infected with the miasma in Yu Lin, and then suffered repeated attacks, and finally died.

Supreme wants Lu Xun to die...

He wanted to refute, but he couldn't find any reason to refute for a while.

Jiaozhou is an important land under the rule of Soochow, and someone must be the prefect.

And you look next door—

Liu Chan joined Pan Jun, former Runan prefect Man Chong, former Liyi general Pang De, and current Fenwei general Ding Feng in Wuxi.

These four people cooperated tacitly in Wuxi, and made those barbarians in the mountains respect the might of God, and they went out to cultivate land, serve in the army, and volunteered to join the army to fight.

Pan Jun is now very well-known, and has been known as the best person in the world who caresses barbarians. He was awarded the high position of Governor-General and became an important minister under Liu Bei.

Those Wuxi barbarians even regarded Pan Jun as a reborn parent. When Pan Jun left Wuxi, many barbarians knelt by the roadside and begged the court not to let Pan Jun leave.

This made Sun Quan drool with envy a few days ago.

Why don't you have such capable ministers under your command?

Well, speaking of letting Pan Jun go to Fuyi, ordinary people really can't think of it.

Liu Chan's ability to know people and make good use of them is really amazing.

After Sun and Liu's two families resumed contacts, Sun Quan placed many spies in the business brigade to investigate various situations under Liu Chan's rule at any time.

I heard from the spies who returned that Liu Chan had set up a college in Wuling, and the barbarian children in the mountains who were willing to study could learn Chinese with food and lodging.

At most three generations, they will completely abandon the rough way of life in the mountains, wouldn't it be a million more people in one fell swoop.

This policy has achieved great results, and Liu Chan plans to replicate it in Nanzhong.

If it can be implemented properly in Nanzhong, even if it is half the level of Wuxi, it can completely shake off the worries of Nanzhong, and it can also select a large number of brave and skilled warriors to join the frontal battle.

Regarding the number of barbarians, Sun Quan was not afraid at all.

There is a large amount of undeveloped land in the south of Yuzhang, the south of Danyang, and the south of Kuaiji, and countless mountains are hidden in the mountains.

If all these people are moved out and all these lands are developed, the picture is so beautiful that I dare not look at it.

If you, Lu Xun, are really capable, you can comfort me like Pan Jun.

I will naturally reuse it when the time comes.

When Lu Xun heard this arrangement, he felt like a thunderbolt, which almost made him unable to stand up.

In order to help Pan Jun appease the barbarians, Liu Chan even arranged for General Fenwei Ding Feng to help Pan Jun, not to mention Man Chong and Pang De.

There are also Yu's translation, Liao Li's compilation of medical books,

Liu Chan's actions always look absurd when taken individually,

But these behaviors were softened together to form a set of very meticulous and rigorous combination punches from beginning to end, which convinced Lu Xun sincerely.

If the Supreme Master asks me to appease Yi, at least I will match these people with me...

Yu Lin.

Lu Xun didn't want to go to that land at all.

After entering that land, I don't know that there is no way to return to my homeland in the future.

But since last year's big defeat, he already had a vague premonition that he was about to usher in such an ending.

Sun Quan didn't dare to turn against the Lu family for the time being, and even if he was suspected, he didn't dare to kill himself directly.

Jiaozhou is the best place to settle Lu Xun.

Thinking of this, Lu Xun was really wronged in every possible way.
