Lu Xun was appointed as the prefect of Yidu by Sun Quan. It can be said that he was ordered to be in danger and shouldered the dual tasks of intercepting Guan Yu's entry into Sichuan and blocking Liu Bei's entry into Jingzhou.

Although he has a lot of troops, more than half of the soldiers have been captured and surrendered. If war begins now, a major defeat is likely to occur.

The only way is to reorganize and lead the new with the old.

After the reorganization was completed, Lu Xun was cautious every day and personally trained his soldiers.

After more than half a year of war, Guan Yu's army was at the end of its strength. According to the news from the spies, Guan Yu's army collapsed without fighting, and would definitely not escape Lu Meng's encirclement and interception.

Even if Guan Yu fled desperately, there were not many soldiers left, which was not enough to pose a threat to Lu Xun.

Lu Xun was frightened in Yidu and did not have any decent achievements. Naturally, he did not have the same glory as Lu Meng after he captured Guan Yu, but he took a lot of responsibility!

On the surface, Lu Xun was light and calm, but in the dark, he could only pray to heaven and not let Liu Bei enter Jingzhou quickly.

If Liu Bei came too quickly, given Liu Bei's prestige and the strong combat power of the Xichuan soldiers, once the two armies join forces, the situation of Lu Xun's army will not be much stronger than that of Guan Yu's army now.

Lu Xun made up his mind that after Liu Bei came, he would never go out of the city to fight. All he could do was collect food and grass, prepare to take advantage of the danger, and wait for Sun Quan to come and rescue the siege.

Fortunately, Lu Xun was lucky. Although Liu Bei's reinforcements gathered in Yong'an, Guan Yu was defeated too quickly and it was not useful. Lu Xun was just a false alarm.

After Lu Meng's death, Lu Xun became Sun Quan's support. He immediately appointed Lu Xun as the right guard, general of Zhenxi, and was granted the title of Marquis of Lou and pacified Jingzhou. His status was already above Lu Meng.

Sun Quan knew that Lu Xun had made great contributions, so he wanted to show his glory in order to commend him. Although Lu Xun was already a general and a marquis, Sun Quan still asked him to be the juren in this state.

So, Sun Quan asked the governor of Yangzhou, Lu Fan, to work as a different leader, to promote talents.

Lu Xun was still guarding Yidu to prevent Liu Bei's army from entering Jingzhou.

Now Lu Xun has completely controlled the army and guards it like an iron barrel.

Although Liu Bei assembled heavy troops in Yong'an, he did not act rashly in the face of Lu Xun's defense.

It seems that Liu Bei is still very rational and did not send troops to fight for Jingzhou according to the script designed by Cao Cao.

Sun Quan was guarding the police for several months, and his heart was relieved.

Sun Quan was originally afraid that Lu Meng's morale would be unstable after his death. Obviously, the most in this world is talent.

No matter who it is, it is not indispensable.

After Lu Meng died, Zhu Ran took over him to guard Jiangling City, the soldiers of the army cooperated very well, and Zhu Ran performed very well.

At the same time, good news came from Jingnan. Zhang Cheng defeated Shamoke's barbarians and occupied Lingling and Wuling counties, which was equivalent to taking Jingnan all of them, eliminating Sun Quan's worries.

Sun Quan successfully obtained Jingzhou. After calming down, he made a little thought, which was how to get more benefits from Cao Cao.

Although when Cao Cao sent people to form an alliance, he promised to hand over the entire Jingzhou to him, Sun Quan did not take it seriously.

For Sun Quan, who was used to betraying the alliance, he knew very well that the so-called keeping promises was based on strong strength!

Moreover, Sun Quan also hoped that Cao Cao would continue to occupy Xiangyang because he knew that sooner or later there would be a battle between him and Liu Bei. When Liu Bei counterattacked Jingzhou, he would not need to form an alliance with Cao Cao, and it would naturally form a situation of two to one in the local area.

Seeing Cao Cao staying in Luoyang and not returning, the first thing Sun Quan thought of was that Cao Cao was lying to pay!

Even if he was lying to the debt, Sun Quan had no choice and did not even dare to send someone to ask for benefits, so as not to give Cao Cao an excuse to turn against him.

He has offended Liu Bei to death now. If he gives him the courage, he will not dare to anger Cao Cao.

Sun Quan immediately summoned everyone to discuss countermeasures and specifically asked Zhuge Jin to come from Jianye.

Because Zhuge Jin was absent-minded when discussing how to deal with Liu Bei and could not play a big role, but when discussing how to deal with Cao Cao, he was not ruthless and was often able to make strange plans.

Sure enough, Zhuge Jin came up with a good idea again, suggesting that Sun Quan submit a letter to persuade Cao Cao to abolish Emperor Xian of Han to replace him.

Sun Quan was overjoyed and asked Zhuge Jin to draft a letter of advice and send an envoy to Luoyang.

...

...

Because Jia Xu also pleaded for mercy, Cao Cao was determined to pardon Hua Tuo, but who knew that Hua Tuo died in prison for no reason.

Other doctors were more careful and did not dare to take medicine casually. Cao Cao's condition worsened and he was worried about the affairs of Jiangdong and Xichuan.

Cao Cao was considering how to treat Jiangdong, but his close minister suddenly reported to Sun Quan to send an envoy to write a letter.

Cao Cao understood that Sun Quan was asking for benefits, so he snorted heavily with his nose and took the book and opened it to watch it.

Cao Cao was a little surprised. Sun Quan did not make any requests in the letter, just a few simple sentences:

"My name Sun Quan knew that the decree of heaven had returned to the king. He hoped that the King of Wei would be promoted to the throne as soon as possible and sent generals to wipe out Liu Bei and wipe out the two rivers. I immediately led the people to surrender."

After reading it, Cao Cao laughed and said to his ministers:

"This kid Sun Quan, I want to put me on the fire and roast me!" He also let the ministers circulate it.

After reading Sun Quan’s letter, the Shizhong Chen Qun decided to strike while the iron was hot and persuade Cao Cao to take office. Then he stood up and said:

"The Han Dynasty has declined for a long time, and the king has great merits and creatures look up to him. Now Sun Quan resigns to his ministers and gives his orders. This is the response of heaven and man, and the strange spirits are in unison. The king should respond to heaven and man and be in line with the great throne as soon as possible."

When Cao Cao saw Chen Qun start, he did not look dissatisfied. The ministers in the hall were unwilling to fall behind and stood up to agree, urging Cao Cao to usurp the Han Dynasty and establish himself.

Cao Cao enjoyed the feeling of being above ten thousand people very much. After everyone in the hall showed their loyalty, he smiled and shook his head and said:

"I have always regarded myself as a Han official. Although I have made contributions to the country, virtue and the people, my position as kings and titles have reached the extreme. I am not very old now, and I don't want to be unscrupulous in my later years. If the destiny is really on me, instead of letting me usurp the throne and become independent, I would rather lay the foundation for my descendants like King Wen of Zhou."

Cao Cao's meaning is very obvious. He was in his twilight years and did not want to mess with him anymore, so he left the opportunity to rise to the crown prince Cao Pi.

When I got this information, Sima Yi was the happiest person.

When Sima Yi was young, he wanted to learn from his teacher Hu Zhao to live in seclusion to support his fame, which delayed his career.

Later, he was forcibly recruited by Cao Cao because of his talent and reputation, but because of his appearance, he was afraid of Cao Cao and never received any respect from Cao Cao.

Fortunately, Sima Yi won Cao Pi's trust with his own talent. Because of Cao Pi's handling, Cao Cao gradually changed his view of Sima Yi and became more and more important. Of course, he would not give up the opportunity to please Cao Cao, so he said:

"Although the king had no intention of taking office, since Sun Quan had submitted his support, the king could grant him an official title and ask him to attack him."

Cao Cao had promised to grant Sun Quan an official title. Cao Cao would not have lost his trust in this kind of unfounded business, so he appointed Sun Quan as General of Cavalry, Marquis of Nanchang, and led the governor of Jingzhou. He also issued an edict to attack Liu Bei and sent envoys to Jiangdong to promulgate the imperial edict.
