Chapter 496 Ah Quan’s record is not very ideal
"So what you're saying is that you used all the power you had in Yizhou, and in the end, you helped Ma Su stabilize Yizhou?"
Sun Quan looked at the leader of Xiaoshi in front of him, Lu Meng's son Lu Ba, and asked with a gloomy face.
"At present... we probably caused a lot of trouble for Ma Su, at least his progress was not too smooth." In response to Sun Quan's anger, Lu Ba was sweating nervously and stammered in reply to Sun Quan.
"At least we burned Chengdu once, letting Ma Di know that Soochow is not someone to be trifled with..."
"Then let Ma Di set his sights on us and let the Shu army appear in Jingzhou earlier, right?" Sun Quan's face became increasingly unkind, and he looked at Lu Ba with a bit more disappointment.
His purpose at first was to disrupt Chengdu and give Lu Xun a chance to break through Xiang Chong's blockade. In the end, all the forces in Yizhou were used, and Ma Di was just given a showdown?
Even this show of power seemed more like a farce to Ma Su, and he didn't see the power at all.
"See for yourself, Xi Shu has built building ships in Yong'an and begun large-scale training of naval forces. The Shu army in Xiangyang even went south four times in three months and fought many times with Gu's army."
"What does this mean? I don't need to remind you, right?"
"Your Majesty, I will find a way to cause trouble for them right now, and try my best to find out the time when the Shu army invades!" Lu Ba quickly answered with his hands in hand.
In response, Sun Quan could only wave his hand and let Lu Ba leave. When he was the only one left in the room, Sun Quan looked at the table that was almost round again.
"This kid Ma Su is really bullying others... Oh, it would be great if I only had a Ma Su."
Sun Quan finally resisted the urge to continue cutting the corner of the table, but remained silent for a while, and finally let out a long sigh.
In the past few years, since Zhuge Liang's first eastern expedition, his life has become more and more difficult day by day. Watching the Shu Han Dynasty next door about to perish, they suddenly recovered. Not only did they regain their strength, they also made great progress in the Northern Expedition.
As for him, after so many years, Soochow's territory has not only not expanded but shrunk. There is only a small Hefei in the north, but his army of 100,000 cannot advance even an inch.
What exactly is this for? Regardless of his talent or his heart, he should not be as strong as the Adou next door. Why can he hold an SSR in his hand and smash it to become the master of the renaissance, but he can't even become emperor after working so hard.
Sun Quan, who is approaching his twilight years, really wants to exchange identities with Liu Chan, and he doesn't want to work hard to be promoted to the throne by his loyal ministers. but
The reality is that from the time he became the master of Yangzhou at the age of sixteen to now for more than thirty years, Ah Quan's record has been very unsatisfactory. Not only was Hefei in the north unable to be conquered, but Xishu in the west, which he had tricked several times, could now be conquered by him.
This is not the way to go. The Jiangdong foundation cannot be destroyed in his hands.
Just when Sun Quan had a headache, suddenly a close official came to report that an envoy had arrived from Jingzhou.
"I guess it's Boyan who's coming to ask for a story again... I'm afraid Boyan has been scared out of his wits by Ma Su these years. The war in Jingzhou is going well, but he still thinks it's unsafe." Sun Quan shook his head gently at this, and said to Lu Xun The requirements have been speculative.
Sure enough, when the messenger from Jingzhou arrived, he handed over Lu Xun's letter. In the letter, Lu Xun stated that the strength of the Shu army in Nanyang had increased and that Jingzhou was under heavy military pressure, and asked Sun Quan to send reinforcements.
Lu Xun had sent such letters to Sun Quan several times. Sun Quan was a little tired of this and couldn't understand what Lu Xun meant.
There are nearly 70,000 troops stationed in Jingzhou, and the Soochow Navy is also cooperating. In addition, Jiangling and the Public Security Bureau are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if it doesn't work, you can still hold on, right?
Especially during this period, except for Lu Xun, everyone in Jingzhou reported victories to Sun Quan. In a battle with the Shu army, as long as the number of troops is about twice the opponent's, it is enough to win the opponent's victory.
At this moment, the Shu army has a total of 20,000 people in Nanyang. Why are you, Lu Xun, so cowardly?
Fortunately, although Sun Quan was also affected by the rumors, he had some doubts about Lu Xun's courage. But so far, he still has trust in Lu Xun.
So after pondering for a while, Sun Quan still ordered Ding Feng to lead 20,000 troops to Jiangling to support Lu Xun. At the same time, he also sent Lu Fan's son Lu Zheng to lead the navy into Xiakou to provide support for Lu Xun.
Boyan, aren't you a coward? I will add a large wave of soldiers to you, so relax now.
After issuing this order, Sun Quan shook his head gently and couldn't help feeling that there was no one in Soochow who could share his worries. Even Lu Xun is currently not only infamous, but also frightened by the Shu army.
Look at my fate, I'm so unlucky!
"I hope Boyan can fulfill his original promise and stabilize Jingzhou."

After receiving Sun Quan's order, Ding Feng immediately led 10,000 troops from Chaisang and headed up the Yangtze River to Jiangling.
All the waterways along the way were under the control of the Soochow Navy, so Ding Feng arrived at Jiangling quickly.
But after entering Jiangling and seeing Lu Xun, Ding Feng was shocked by Lu Xun's condition. The Grand Governor in front of him, who was much younger than him, had gray hair and looked extremely haggard.
"Bo Yan! You..." Ding Feng was a little stunned and was speechless when he saw Lu Xun's condition.
"Chengyuan, you're here." Lu Xun felt a little more happy when he saw Ding Feng arriving. When he found Ding Feng's face full of surprise, Lu Xun laughed to himself and said,
"Don't worry, I just stayed up for two days, it's nothing serious."
"Bo Yan! What's wrong with you! Why are you so haggard?" Ding Feng asked after he sat down and suppressed the shock in his heart.
"You are the governor. If something happens to you, no one in Jingzhou can stop you!"
"Calm down? Look how many people here are willing to listen to my military orders." Lu Xun smiled bitterly and sighed lightly.
"Except for my generals, even Wei Wen thinks I am cowardly. No one is willing to obey any military order unless it is threatened with military law."
“Does Chengyuan think so too?”
"No, I believe in your ability and courage." Ding Feng shook his head and said very firmly.
"Although I don't know why you are so nervous, I believe that you definitely have your reasons for doing this. Just like you were in Yiling, you are definitely not the coward in the rumors."
"It's good to have your trust. At least my situation can be better." Lu Xun felt a little better and cheered up again.
"Chengyuan, let's prepare together, we are ready to attack Xishu."
"ah?"
