Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

"Grand Governor, Your Majesty has a letter for you."

Just as Lu Xun was listlessly inspecting Jiangling City Defense, a personal guard sent him a letter. Lu Xun, who was extremely familiar with Sun Quan, immediately knew that the Supreme Commander was going to airdrop the warrant again.

Sun Quan was always like this. He was beaten many times and never learned well.

Lu Xun reluctantly took the letter from Sun Quan and when he opened it, his brows furrowed even more. In the letter, Sun Quan asked him to stop causing friction with Xi Shu. He had already sent Zhuge Jin to Xi Shu to negotiate peace.

At this moment? Supreme, are you kidding me?

Now they are all angry with Xishu, and the two sides are clearly at odds with each other. Especially since Xishu has even made arrangements for the governor of Jingzhou, can he reconcile with us at this time?

"Some of the Supreme's ideas are always elusive to us..." Lu Xun shook his head helplessly and smiled helplessly.

Originally, Soochow should not have interfered with Ji Han's Northern Expedition to Guanzhong. The two sides still maintain a fragile alliance, and Ji Han will not take action against Soochow in the short term.

In this way, Soochow still maintains its ally status with Ji Han, and Cao Wei can also ask for a higher price. Normally this should be done, but Sun Quan's approach always makes people's eyes dark.

That's all, why would a minister like me want to do this?

Lu Xun shrugged, and then sent someone to order all fronts in Soochow to stop attacking and return to Soochow. Among them, Lu Xun also transferred a large number of troops from Jingnan to Jiangling and divided his troops to guard the counties in Nanjun.

Recently, it is said that that bastard Ma Di from Xishu came to Nanyang with Ji Han's prince and settled directly in Xinye. Lu Xun, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, already felt a sense of crisis. He had even begun to prepare to build a beacon tower in Nanjun.

There is no way, Ma Su deserves this treatment, after all, he really can't beat him.

However, after Lu Xun issued his order, Wei Wen of Jingnan soon sent back the news. The opponent refused Lu Xun's timid order and insisted on continuing the attack on Wuling.

The garrison generals in Nanjun believed that Lu Xun's deployment was a fuss. In fact, many generals had begun to disobey Lu Xunyang a long time ago, and Lu Xun once returned to the spring before the Yiling war.

At that time, a large group of generals were also dissatisfied and disdainful of him. The young man was forced to draw his sword and roar, relying on Sun Quan's trust and intimidation to suppress the group of veterans.

After more than ten years, Lu Xun once again felt a familiar feeling. But the difference is that this time Lu Xun may not be able to draw his sword and roar again.

After all, even Sun Quan doesn't trust him...

Just when Lu Xun was helpless, he suddenly saw a messenger hurriedly coming on the north road. When he saw the messenger's attire clearly, Lu Xun's expression suddenly changed.

This courier is dressed in bright red and is an urgent courier arranged by Lu Xun on the front line of Yicheng. An urgent messenger was sent to Jiangling from the direction of Yicheng. There was only one possibility...

"Grand Governor! The Shu army is marching south! The commander's banner is Ma Di!"

"What!" Lu Xun's expression changed slightly, and then he quickly became serious.

"Quick! Order troops and horses from Nanjun to guard the county town tightly, and rely on the Han River as a supply line to hold on! But if the Shu army attacks the city, they can ask for help from Xiakou as soon as possible, and the reinforcements will arrive quickly!"

After being defeated head-on by Zhuge Liang last time, Lu Xun discovered that the gap between the armies of the two sides could no longer be made up by numbers. Especially coupled with the famous Xishu general Ma Di who swept across the northwest, Soochow's chances of winning in the wild were negative.

Therefore, Lu Xun began to deploy the Han River defense line a long time ago. That is to say, the counties and cities relying on the Han River were consolidated and occupied in order to occupy Jingxiang North Road.

Because Guan Yu has been dead for more than ten years, and Xi Shu has been on the Northern Expedition these years, it is absolutely impossible for the navy to compete with Soochow. Therefore, the logistics of each county town backed by the Han River and protected by the Soochow Navy was not a problem at all.

In this way, Soochow can stabilize the front line in Xiangyang for a long time, leaving enough strategic depth. In this way, once the war between Shu and Wu begins, Nanyang's threat can be buffered, and Jiangling can focus on guarding against the Yiling Shu army.

It can be said that Lu Xun has done everything he can. However, after Lu Xun issued the order, he saw that his personal guard who was responsible for delivering the order stood still with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Captain, I am afraid that the generals will not obey your orders. They have long been dissatisfied with you..."

Lu Xun was silent for a moment, and finally ordered through gritted teeth.

"If there is anyone who doesn't follow, behead him! I will explain it to you, Supreme One!"

At the same time, the Han army stationed in Xiangyang, led by Ma Di, had begun to march south.

However, although it was said that they were marching in troops, in fact, only more than 3,000 people were mobilized. Ma Su personally took command, and the prince, in charge of supervising the army, launched a tentative attack on Nanjun.

Originally, Ma Su planned to go south alone this time. After all, the original purpose was to explore Soochow's combat power over the years, so there was no need to bring anyone else with me.

As a result, when Prince Liu Xuan heard that Ma Su would not take him with him, he once again grabbed Ma Su's clothes and refused to let go. In the end, with the prince crying and making a fuss, Ma Su had no choice but to take Liu Xuan with him.

After many years, Ma Su once again encountered a friendly unit that troubled him. The last person who made Ma Su feel difficult was Li Mu, who had a gentlemanly acquaintance with Ma Su.

"It seems that we will have to invite Hua Fei out again for the next operation..." Ma Su touched his chin and caught a glimpse of Liu Xuan who was in high spirits because he was following the army on the expedition. His expression became more thoughtful.

Just as he was thinking about it, the Han army had arrived at Yicheng, the county seat of Nanjun, the closest to Xiangyang.

This is Ma Su's hometown, but as the Ma family moved to Sichuan a few years ago, the Ma family's control here has become much weaker. After Han and Wu completely fell out in the past two years, along with strategic contraction, Yicheng also fell into the hands of Soochow.

"I am the general of the Han Dynasty's chariots and cavalry, the prince's tutor, and the Marquis of Lueyang Township! Who do you think you are, and you dare to stand in front of the Han army?"

Ma Di personally led Ma Zhong and several other cavalrymen to the city, and shouted at the Wu army at the head of Dangyang City.

"Don't you know that Yicheng is my hometown, Ma Youchang? Leave as soon as possible and leave a path for yourself. Don't make the road narrow."

Just when Ma Su was talking and waiting for the other party to retaliate, he suddenly saw the gate of Yicheng suddenly opened wide.

"Ma Su is so brave! Only these people dare to come! I, Gan Gui, am here to fight with you!" A Soochow general led the Wu army and filed out, shouting and heading towards Ma Su.

Seeing Soochow's reaction, Ma Di showed a trace of doubt on his face.

Is Jingzhou already so closed off? Can't you even receive the news about me killing everyone in Guanzhong?
