It was heard that Sun Quan used Lu Xun as the governor, but Liu Bei knew Lu Xun quite well because he knew the causes and consequences of Guan Yu's loss of Jingzhou.

Liu Bei fought all his life, and although he had few achievements, he could escape unscathed every time, which was inseparable from his cautious use of military service.

Although his current opponent is Lu Xun, who has a poor reputation, he does not dare to be careless at all.

Lu Xun's reputation was not obvious. Liu Bei thought that not many soldiers knew about him, but when he announced the news, he looked at the soldiers around him and found a very strange phenomenon. They all looked like they were facing a great enemy.

Liu Bei was shocked, but he calmed down and ordered everyone to go back to reorganize the troops. He went back to the tent to rest first, and hurriedly sent his subordinates to investigate the reason.

Not long after, his subordinates brought the results of the investigation, which made Liu Bei's heart sink.

Because a few days ago, Lu Xun's story suddenly began to circulate throughout the Jingzhou area.

These stories are clearly spread by someone deliberately, but they are all consistent with the facts.

From Lu Xun's twentieth year of his twentieth year, he helped Lu Xun pacify Shanyue, and to take plans for Lu Meng and guard Lukou. He even sneaked into the police by Sun Quan's deeds, allowing Lu Meng to defeat Guan Yu head-on.

The most convincing thing was witnessed by the Jingzhou family with their own eyes. Lu Xun led more than 10,000 people to traverse the hinterland of Jingzhou, defeated Zhan Yan, Chen Feng, Wen Bu, Deng Kai and others, occupied Yidu, cut off Guan Yu's retreat to Xichuan, etc.

These stories may exaggerate Lu Xun's ability, but everything is absolutely true.

Guan Yu has a high status in Liu Bei's group, and is known as the first general and is like a god of war.

It is now rumored that Lu Xun is the master behind Lu Meng's defeat of Guan Yu, and he has a great reputation in the Xichuan Army.

At the beginning, the soldiers used these stories as topics of conversation in the army, which could pass the time, but it would not have much impact.

But when the news that Lu Xun was appointed as the Grand Commander by Sun Quan came, it seemed that Lu Xun's ability was confirmed, which made the soldiers in Liu Bei's army who were familiar with Lu Xun's story somewhat feel a little upset, and gradually aroused some timidity in their fight.

After Liu Bei guided the reasons, he summoned the generals to discuss strategies to defeat the enemy.

But overnight, Liu Bei's army's morale dropped seriously, lacking the spirit of moving forward in the past, showing a cowardly feeling.

Liu Bei wanted to increase his morale, but he had a sudden inspiration and pretended to be relaxed and said to his generals:

"When I was in Xudu, I and Cao Cao talked about heroes by cooking wine. Cao Cao once said that only the heroes in the world are envoys and Cao. Now Cao Cao is dead, only the envoys are left, but he has never heard of Lu Xun."

Ma Liang and Shamoko also participated in the military convention. Seeing the generals silent, Ma Liang saw Liu Bei's intention and echoed:

"Lu Xun is only twenty-six years old and is not famous. Even many Jiangdong Army soldiers don't know that there is such a person in the army. It's not a big deal. However, Sun Heng is famous in the army and is deeply loved by the soldiers. Now he retreats to Yiling City and wants to conquer it, it's quite difficult."

After hearing Ma Liang's words, Liu Bei nodded to show his affirmation, his face changed, and he said angrily:

"What did Sun Zhongmou say? I really despise me when I get a child who is still young and has no worries as the governor!"

Ma Liang belittled Lu Xun first, but he didn't dare to underestimate everyone. He immediately took Liu Bei's words and said:

"Although Lu Xun's reputation is not obvious, there is no wind in the gap. I think his talent is no less than Zhou Yu, so Your Majesty should not be underestimated. Guan Yu was successfully attacked by Lu Meng by Jingzhou, and he was hit by Lu Xun's arrogant soldier plan."

Liu Bei did not look down on Lu Xun, who was trying to defeat Guan Yu, but now he needs to arouse the fighting spirit of the generals. He can only raise himself and belittle Lu Xun. He pretended to be unhappy and said:

"I started with the fight against the Yellow Turbans and experienced hundreds of wars, and even Cao Cao was afraid of me. In the end, I was not as good as Lu Xun, a yellow-mouthed child?"

Ma Liang achieved his goal and stopped making a sound.

Liu Bei thought to himself that motivating morale, but it was useless to say that it was useless, and it still took several victories to motivate him.

After patrolling with his eyes, only Zhang Bao was the generals. Guan Xing saw that he was in a high spirit of fighting and ordered:

"Guan Xing, Zhang Bao obeyed the order: Starting tomorrow, you two will lead 5,000 troops as the vanguard army. When you encounter the city, you will attack the city and decapitate the vanguard. If you encounter the soldiers of Zhu Ran, Pan Zhang and Ma Zhong, I will not have one prisoner. I will kill all the soldiers who have been dead in Jingzhou for memorial service!"

...

...

After Sun Quan sent Lu Xun away, he had no confidence.

This time, the appointment of Lu Xun as the Grand Governor was a big bet, but Sun Quan suppressed his wealth and life!

Sun Quan actually has many ways to choose from. He decided to take the road to Lu Xun because the temptation of this road is the greatest. Once Lu Xun wins, Sun Quan can truly compete with Cao Pi and Liu Bei.

Kan Ze is not good at martial arts, but he has been familiar with military books since he was a child and is very interested in military planning.

In the Battle of Chibi, as a staff officer, he was the first to see through Zhou Yu and Huang Gai's plan to surrender, and successfully delivered a letter of surrender to Huang Gai. He was also famous in the Jiangdong Army. He was more obsessed with military affairs and cared more about the young heroes in the Jiangdong Army.

Not long after, young heroes such as Lu Xun and Zhu Ran came into his sight.

He took the initiative to make friends with these young heroes and had contact with them. After a long conversation, he was particularly optimistic about Lu Xun, and he had a close relationship with him, and often discussed military affairs together.

Kan Ze didn't want to participate in this battle in Jingzhou.

But when Lu Xun was far away in Yangzhou, he needed a battle situation. As Lu Xun's friend, he naturally had no choice but to do so.

After Sun Heng and Han Dang failed one after another, Kan Ze analyzed the reasons and believed that only Lu Xun, the generals of the Jiangdong Army, could block Liu Bei's attack.

But Lu Xun's reputation was not obvious and it was difficult to convince the public, and Sun Quan might not dare to use him.

After careful consideration, Kan Ze decided to plan in advance and build momentum in Jingzhou for Lu Xun.

He spread Lu Xun's deeds through the aristocratic families and some confidants in Jingzhou.

The results were achieved soon, and Lu Xun's reputation in Jingzhou became more and more popular. Only then did he dare to recommend Lu Xun and suppress his wealth and life.

Sun Quan did not dare to take risks, but when he saw Kan Ze recommending so much, he was fooled by Kan Ze after a long talk with Kan Ze. Only then did Sun Quan make up his mind.

Today is the day when the new Jiangdong Army's Grand Governor takes office.

In the Jiangdong Army Governor's tent outside Jiangling City, military generals and civil officials were gathered.

Everyone chattered and were full of dissatisfaction and doubts about the Grand Commander Lu Xun, who had not yet appeared, and they secretly discussed it.

Lu Xun, dressed in a scholarly outfit, suddenly entered the tent with Xu Sheng and Ding Feng, and the generals were silent.

Ding Feng, holding Sun Quan's sword in his hand, stood beside Lu Xun and shouted loudly:

General Lu Xun, the Grand Governor, was promoted to the tent—
Chapter completed!
