The ship that arrived was Yan Ji, the magistrate of Nanchang County. He was a native of Nanchang County. After the Jiaozhou Army occupied Nanchang County, he did not surrender to the Jiaozhou Army, but abandoned his official position and hid at home. When the Jiaozhou Army withdrew its troops, the major wealthy families in Nanchang County invited him back to maintain order in the county.

He bowed to Lu Xun and said, "Report to General Lu, the city is in good order now. The only regret is that the warehouse is empty, and all the money and food stored in the official warehouse have been moved away by the Jiaozhou army. I am afraid that the army will not be able to supply it."

This result was expected by Lu Xun. They also brought food and grass, which was enough to last for more than 20 days without the need for supplies in Nanchang County. He nodded and asked, "I want to know where there are garrisons in the Jiaozhou Army besides Xinwu County."

"Only Xinwu County, there are no garrisons in the other counties, and most of the Jiaozhou troops have not been there."

"Yang Shouke is here"

Yan Ji sighed and said, "Yang Shou was killed by Guan Yu when he was broken in the city. County Chief Li surrendered to the Jiaozhou Army, and the whereabouts of the rest of the officials were unknown."

Lu Xun pondered for a moment and said, "Now I need the cooperation of the entire county. Now you can take the role of the guard and understand the situation of each county for me. I will report to the Marquis of Wu to promote you to the guard and the official position."

Yan Ji was overjoyed and quickly bowed to salute, "The emperor is willing to serve General Lu."

The fleet slowly docked, and a group of Jiangdong troops ran down from the large ship and quickly gathered at the dock. Lu Xun also got off the dock. He turned around and ordered: "Let General Ding Feng come to see me."

After a moment, General Ding Feng quickly stepped forward and bowed to him, "See the Governor."

"General Ding, I will give you a thousand elite troops. You can rush to Xinwu County immediately, but be careful not to fight with the Jiaozhou Army. Try to understand the deployment and mobilization rules of the Jiaozhou Army. Come back in ten days to see me."

"Abide by the order"

Ding Feng took the order loudly and left. At this time, Xu Sheng stepped forward and asked in confusion: "Are we going to stay in Nanchang County for ten days?"

Lu Xun sighed and said, "The Marquis of Wu has strict orders. We must wait until Lu Meng's army enters Changsha County before we can launch an attack. The Marquis of Wu gives ten days."

"But this will delay the opportunity to fight and seem to be a little passive."

"I know too, but the order of the Marquis of Wu must be followed, he is the head coach."

"This is not right, after all, Mr. Wu doesn't understand the situation here."

Lu Xun smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I explained to Wu Hou what Wu Hou means, he will coordinate the overall combat, and the specific mobilization and deployment during the war are fully responsible. Therefore, when to advance, we must wait for the news of Wu Hou. In fact, it makes sense. Lu Meng entered Changsha County and attacked on both sides to the greatest chance of winning."

"But Zhuge Liang will never kill him. The so-called attack on both sides will be defeated by others if the coordination is not good. You and I know this principle, why does the governor no longer persuade Wu Hou."

Lu Xun said lightly: "There are less than 10,000 troops in Jiaozhou. Both me and Lu Meng can defeat them alone. We each cultivate their own troops. As long as we ensure that we are not defeated, as for Lu Meng, I believe he has his own strategy to use troops, so I don't have to worry about it."

Xu Sheng smiled bitterly. Lu Xun's words contained so much resentment towards Lu Meng. No wonder Wu Hou must separate them. No one can resolve the hatred of these two people.

Lu Su took a boat and arrived in Jiangling that afternoon. He set out in advance and had to meet Liu Jing before the Wuhou army arrived in Pengze.

He shouldered heavy responsibilities and wanted to persuade Liu Jing to stand in the middle and not to support the Jiaozhou Army. At the same time, he also wanted to borrow a way from Liu Jing so that the Jiangdong Navy could pass the Jiangxia County Waterway and enter Changsha County.

Lu Su is sure about the first point. At least Liu Jing would agree to be neutral on the surface, but he was really not sure about the second one. Will Liu Jing allow tens of thousands of Jiangdong troops to cross Jiangxia?

In addition, it is still the same whether Liu Jing is willing to see him, even though Lu Su knew that Liu Jing must be in Jiangling.

Lu Su got off the boat and came directly to the camp of the Jingzhou navy. He shouted loudly to the sentry: "Please report to your chief general, which is Lu Su, Jiangdong, for a visit."

At this time, Gan Ning and Liu Jing were discussing the transfer of the army to Wuchang in the big tent, but Pang Tong advocated continuing to stay in Jiangling. Pang Tong smiled and said, "The game of chess is not about the large number of soldiers, but about the large power. Chaisang is empty and Jiangxia is empty, and it has no effect on us at all. Perhaps it is a huge temptation for Jiangdong. If Sun Quan is really confused and feels that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, then the demise of Jiangdong will not be far away. However, I believe that Sun Quan will not even have this bottom line, so I suggest not to move the troops and wait and see what changes."

Liu Jing nodded happily and said, "Shi Yuan is right. The two countries are fighting each other, not soldiers. Even if Chaisang does not have a soldier, I would not dare to enter the country without my consent."

At this moment, soldiers outside the tent reported: "Report to Your Highness, Jiangdong Lusu asks for a visit."

Everyone laughed. As soon as they talked about Feng, Feng came. Liu Jing thought for a while and said to Gan Ning: "You can allow them to cross from Pengze Lake to the south, but it is not possible to borrow from Jiangxia. However, I don't want to turn against Jiangdong for the time being. Please leave a little face. You don't have to refuse openly, just say that you have no right to decide this matter and ask him to go to Xiangyang to find me."

"But what if the Jiangdong Army wants to forcibly transit the border?" Gan Ning asked again.

Liu Jing said coldly: "If the Jiangdong Army dares to force the border, then warn them once."

At this time, Pang Tong next to him smiled and suggested, "Your Highness, why not do things according to the alliance? Didn't the alliance say that Jiangdong's troops in Jingnan are not allowed to exceed 10,000, or they can go to Jingnan. If it exceeds 10,000, they must re-construct the treaty. In this way, General Gan can stand firm in his heart and Lu Su has nothing to say."

"The military advisor's words are reasonable," Liu Jing said to Gan Ning: "Just follow this article and go to Xiangyang to find me if you want to change the treaty."

"I understand it"

Gan Ning gave a gift and left the tent quickly. Liu Jing smiled at Pang Tong again and said, "Lu Jing is a kind person, and I really can't bear to deceive him, but it's related to the interests of both countries, so I have to feel wronged."

"I don't think Lu Su came entirely for the sake of his own affairs. Your Highness might as well make concessions on the other hand, so that Sun Quan has nothing to say."

Liu Jing understood what Pang Tong meant was to make a little concession in supporting the Jiaozhou army. He nodded, and he could consider this.

Lu Su was led into the camp and rested and waited in a guest account. Although Lu Su was named the governor of the Jiangdong Army, he was only the nominal commander of the military advisor. In fact, the military commander was Sun Quan. The two deputy commanders below, Lu Meng and Lu Xun, reported directly to Sun Quan, which undermined Lu Su.

This is also the result of Jiangdong's game for many years. With Zhou Yu's death, Sun Quan was finally able to control the military power. However, Sun Quan was not the only winner. He had to compromise with the faction forces he created and appointed Lu Meng, who represented the northern faction and Lu Xun, who represented the Wu Yue faction, as deputy commander.

The real loser is the Lujiang faction represented by Zhou Yu, Lu Su and Huang Gai. Zhou Yu died of illness and Lu Su was undermined, while Huang Gai was transferred from the main army and converted to the local militia chief in charge of militia training. In fact, he had no military power.

Although this was not Sun Quan's original intention, there were too many monks and too little porridge, and it was difficult for Sun Quan to seize military power from the other two factions. He could only take advantage of Zhou Yu's death to seize the military power of the Lujiang faction. Lu Su knew in his heart, but he had no choice but to do anything. Otherwise, why should he, a dignified military commander, be an envoy?

Lu Su waited for a quarter of an hour before Gan Ning arrived late. Gan Ning walked into the tent and bowed and apologized: "I was discussing supplies with the generals just now, but I couldn't get rid of it, so I had to wait for the governor of Lu for a long time."

"It was Lu Su who came abruptly and affected General Gan's military affairs. I'm sorry."

"No need to be polite, please sit down"

Gan Ning asked Lu Su to sit down and ordered the soldiers to change to new tea. Seeing that Gan Ning was always the only one, Lu Su felt a little uneasy, he asked tentatively: "I just heard from the school that His Highness the King of Han is also in the military camp, so let Lu Su go and pay a visit."

Gan Ning smiled and said, "It's really unfortunate that the King of Han passed through Jiangling yesterday and inspected the military camp. But he did not come to Jiangling, but inspected the militia and defense against the north. He had left Jiangling last night and headed for Xiangyang. If Lu Su went directly to Xiangyang, he might be able to catch up."

Lu Su showed a look of disappointment on his face. Gan Ning's meaning was very clear. Liu Jing didn't want to see him. Not to mention whether Liu Jing was in the military camp, even if he was in the military camp, he would not see him.

But the mission he shouldered did not allow Lu Su to complain too much, so he had to turn to Gan Ning, "I came here this time to discuss two things with the Jingzhou army by the order of the Marquis of Wu. I think General Gan should be able to make the decision as the chief general of Jingzhou."

Before Lu Su finished speaking, Gan Ning laughed, "Before talking about the main affairs, I need to briefly explain the division of military power to the governor of Lu. Now there are five generals in the Han Dynasty. Zhao Yun is the general of Zhenbei, Ma Chao is the general of Zhenxi, Huang Zhong is the general of Pingnan, I am the general of Jingdong, and I am the general of Jingdong. The five generals can only command military training, while recruiting troops, retirement, pension, and other military training are under the jurisdiction of Pingzhangtai. However, in combat and cross-regional dispatch, the King of Han must have the military talismans, otherwise it is a rebellion. I think the same should be given to Jiangdong."

Lu Su hurriedly said, "I can understand this. What I said should be within General Gan's authority."

"Please tell me, I'll listen carefully"

"The first thing is that we want to conquer the Jiaozhou army and march into Jingnan. We hope that General Gan can allow our naval warships to cross Jiangxia by taking the route."

Gan Ning said without saying a word: "Governor Lu may as well talk about the second thing."

"As for the second thing, I hope Jingzhou can remain neutral and not fund the Jiaozhou army. In fact, according to the alliance, Jingzhou should send troops to attack Jiaozhou army with us. But we no longer expect Jingzhou to send troops, but we only hope that Jingzhou will remain neutral, especially if it cannot support Jiaozhou army turbulence. Lu Su's honest and upright words, please forgive General Gan."

Gan Ning said slowly: "Whether it is His Highness the King of Han or I, Gan Ning, are people who are principled. We will strictly abide by the alliance between the two sides and will never support Jiaozhou military turtle oil. If Jiaozhou military uses turtle oil, then I will declare first that it must have nothing to do with Jingzhou. Perhaps it is the support of Cao's army. I can give the governor Lu a clear promise. We will not support Jiaozhou military any material, nor will they allow them to grow up."

Lu Su smiled, "Since General Gan is so sincere, then I believe the general's words. In addition, I hope General Gan can allow it by doing something."
