In the seventh year of Jian'an, in August of 202 A.D., Sun Quan worshiped Lu Xun as the lieutenant of chasing thieves, the governor of Yuzhang, and was fully responsible for attacking Yuzhang County.

As soon as this order came out, the four families headed by the four major families of Wujun, Gu Lu Zhu Zhang and Kuaiji, and Yu Wei Kong Xie rushed to respond.

Talented people from various clans came to serve one after another, and none of them came alone, and there were more or less hundreds of soldiers in their hands.

Zhu Heng, Zhu Zhi, He Qi, Dong Xi, etc. are countless civil servants and generals.

They all want to add meritorious service to the battle against Yuzhang and gain more benefits for the family.

In just a few days, 50,000 soldiers and horses were assembled, with countless food, grass and military equipment, and they were ready to conquer Liu Bei at any time.

However, problems still arose. Not only did Sun Quan have objections to Lu Xun, but even the talents of various families who came to serve him did not obey Lu Xun's management.

It is already the norm to arrange behind the scenes to obey the positive and violate the negative.

Lu Xun is so young, many people are even his elders!

If it weren't for the fact that Lu Xun represented the Wu County Lu family, everyone wouldn't even have superficial respect.

Lu Xun is very humble on the surface, and he doesn't care about all kinds of disrespectful behavior.

Just when everyone thought that Lu Xun was incompetent, Lu Xun suddenly announced the military order and personally announced that those who violated the order would be beheaded!

But there are still some descendants of the aristocratic family who ignore the military order and don't take Lu Xun seriously.

They absolutely did not believe that Lu Xun really dared to kill them!

But believe it or not, Lu Xun really dares!

Lu Xun personally captured the leaders of the troublemakers and cut off their heads.

This move shocked everyone immediately.

It turned out that this white-faced scholar really dared to kill people!

Everyone suddenly realized that no one dared to underestimate this young scholar.

At this moment, the eight major families of Gu Lu, Zhu Zhang, Yu Wei, Kong Xie spoke out at the same time, and wanted to fully support Lu Xun's western expedition.

With the open support of Jiangdong's top family, no one dared to offend Lu Xun's authority, let alone make trouble openly.

Lu Xun killed chickens to make an example to monkeys, and used the heads of a few insignificant small families to successfully establish his prestige.

Since there were no well-known generals in the army, Lu Xun took advantage of his prestige to gain control of the army.

After that, Lu Xun did not rush to attack Yuzhang, but sent a large number of scouts to Yuzhang.

There is only one purpose, to get all the information about Liu Beijun in Yuzhang County.

After more than ten days of investigation, all the information about Yuzhang County was placed on Lu Xun's handsome case.

Liu Bei did not wantonly occupy the land of Yuzhang County, but chose to take Nanchang as the center and gradually encroach on the plan.

Among them, Guan Yu occupied Chaisang in the north, Zhuge Liang occupied Yuhan in the east, and Yichun and Xingan were stationed in the south to ensure the connectivity between Changsha and Yuzhang County.

The five cities are at the corner of each other, and if any one of them is threatened, they can support each other.

This is the iron bucket defensive formation that Zhuge Liang put down for Sun Quan.

In fact, he was telling Sun Quan that you should never take it back in Yuzhang County!

This is only the strength of Liu Beijun in Yuzhang County, not including the mobilization of troops in Jingzhou counties.

Changsha is still gathering troops, and Nanjun, because Xu Shu occupied Xiangyang, drove the Jingzhou family to the south of Han River, and also intends to mobilize troops to support Chaisang from the Yangtze River.

At present, Liu Beijun's attitude is very obvious, and he will defend Yuzhang County no matter what.

Just when everyone's eyes were on Lu Xun, to see how embarrassing he was in the face of this situation.

Lu Xun proved with practical actions that age has nothing to do with strength.

After integrating the army, Lu Xun immediately divided into three groups.

Along the way, Zhu Heng, as the commander in chief, led 5,000 soldiers and horses to Shiyang, threatening Xingan, ready to cut off Liu Bei's retreat at any time.

As the commander-in-chief, Lu Buzhi led the 5,000 water army to Poyang.

Liu Bei's army did not have a navy, so Lu Xun gave in and cut off the connection between Yu Khan and Nanchang, preparing to trap Zhuge Liang to death.

On the last route, Lu Xun personally served as the commander-in-chief and led the remaining 40,000 troops to Pengze, pointing directly at Chaisang.

Lu Xun's orders were issued in an orderly manner, his thinking was clear, and his orders were rigorous. He did not look like an inexperienced teenager at all.

So far, no one in the army dares to underestimate this young man who has not reached the weak crown!

After the idea of ​​marching was clear, the 50,000 Western Expeditionary Army moved quickly and immediately went to the front line separately.

Before leaving, Lu Xun paid a personal visit to Sun Quan. He didn't make any promises, but only expressed that he would try his best to get Yuzhang back.

Sun Quan liked Lu Xun's humility very much.

No matter what Lu Xun's talent is, at least it proves that Lu Xun is not a person who likes to make great achievements.

In addition to calling on Sun Quan, Lu Xun also wrote to Zhou Yu himself.

In the letter, he expressed his respect for Zhou Yu and his admiration for his military talents.

Every word in the letter expresses his admiration for Zhou Yu and his desire to worship Zhou Yu as his teacher.

Finally, I hope that Zhou Yu will give more advice and teach him how to defeat Liu Bei and get back Yuzhang for the Sun family.

Zhou Yu did not reply to the letter in the end. It is said that after reading this letter, Zhou Yu was mixed with sorrow and joy, and his mood was extremely complicated.

A month later, Lu Xun's 50,000 troops were all in place.

Zhu Heng and Bu Zhi all followed Lu Xun's deployment, relying on warships to show off their might in the water.

Especially on the front line of Xingan and Yichun, Zhu Heng can cut off the naval passage between the two cities along the waterway.

It is absolutely impossible for Liu Bei to transport grain by water.

Zhuge Liang in the direction of Yu Khan was very cautious, and had already withdrawn his troops from Yu Khan before Bu Zhi led the army to arrive.

Zhuge Liang gave up a large area of ​​water and stationed his soldiers and horses in Haihun, which is far away from rivers and lakes, and can also support Nanchang and Chaisang by land at any time.

Lu Xun was not surprised by Zhuge Liang's retreat, as if he had expected it.

Lu Xun immediately ordered Bu Zhi to enter the Ganshui River, always harassing Liu Bei in Nanchang, making him restless.

At this time, the talents of the aristocratic families in the East and West expeditions really understood Lu Xun's brilliance.

The three groups of people in Jiangdong are all rampant in the water!

It was truly possible to advance, attack, retreat, and defend, making Liu Beijun helpless to fight back.

Two groups of troops harassed the rear, and Lu Xun personally led the main force to attack Chaisang, preparing to eliminate Liu Bei's forces in Yuzhang one by one.

The war has completely started, and the offensive and defensive battles outside Chaisang City are in full swing.

Guan Yu and Lu Xun played against each other 17 years earlier!

Historically, Lu Xun followed Lu Meng to cross the robbery in white clothes, occupied Zigui ahead of time, cut off Guan Yu's retreat, and indirectly led to Guan Yu's death.

Perhaps due to historical effects, the fight outside Chaisang City was in full swing.

However, Lu Xun, who had the advantage in numbers, failed to gain the advantage as promised.

After all, it is a miscellaneous army patched together by aristocratic families, there are strong and weak, there are elite soldiers, and there are recruits.

These soldiers and horses with uneven combat effectiveness were forcibly twisted together, unable to exert their combat effectiveness at all.

Moreover, Zhuge Liang, who was stationed in Haihun, did not sit still, but sent troops into the mountains, threatening Lu Xun's rear and sides at all times.

In order to deal with the ambush, Lu Xun did not dare to press the whole army, so he could only start a war of attrition with Guan Yu.

The battle between Liu Bei and Sun Quan for the ownership of Yuzhang County has officially started!
