Chapter 1185 The ultimate purpose

   I heard that in the early years, Sun Quan asked Lu Xun to guard Wuchang, including half of the country west of Yuzhang County, and handed it over to Lu Xun.

   Even left one of his own seals for Lu Xun so that he could act on his behalf.

   As for the letters Sun Quan sent from Jianye to Shu, Lu Xun would often let Lu Xun read them first to see if there was anything wrong with them.

   It can be said that during the period of guarding Wuchang with the prince of Wu, Lu Xun reached the peak of Sun Quan's trust and power.

  But after the crown prince Sun Deng went to Jianye, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

  Perhaps the crown prince was not in Wuchang, so Sun Quan was a little worried about Lu Xun.

   It may also be that Lu Yi's greedy words are really useful.

  Anyway, according to the information collected by the big man from various channels, in recent years, although Sun Quan has not made any obvious expression on the surface.

   I don't know if I have taken back the seal I left with Lu Xun.

  But there are various signs that Sun Quan has indeed gradually lost trust in Lu Xun.

  Feng Duhu, who has been in Soochow for more than ten years, naturally knows this.

  So, if Lu Xun dared to send a secret envoy privately, it would be equivalent to handing over the handle of life and death to the big man.

  Looking at Lu Xun's personality, he would not have done such a thing.

  Feng Duhu had already flashed countless thoughts in an instant, and he asked:

   "Dare to ask the queen, who sent this secret envoy from the state of Wu? And what is it for?"

  The queen gave Feng Duhu a strange look:

   "The secret envoy of the State of Wu was naturally sent by Sun Quan."

   "Then why did it start from Jingzhou?"

   "I don't dare to speak lightly about this matter of Wu, so I came to see Zhongdu Huer."

  The queen shook her head and took out a letter at the same time:

   "As for what's going on, why don't you read this letter first, and then I'll talk to you in detail."

  Feng Duhu was even more strange. He took the letter from the queen and read it, and couldn't help but let out a "huh" in his mouth:

   "Why did Lu Xun write to me?"

  As soon as these words came out, the wives on the left and right turned their eyes subconsciously.

   Feng Duhu took out the letter paper and muttered in his heart:

   Could it be that it is because of himself that history has gone so far wrong that Lu Xun wanted to be a loyal minister?

  The beginning of this letter is extremely polite: "The right hussar general of the Han Dynasty, Feng Zhongdu protects the medal".

   "The central capital protects the text and spreads it to the world. Wu Zhen Huaxia is known to everyone in the world. His name is He Weiwei! Although he is located in the southeast corner, he is like thunder, and his heart has been admiring him for a long time."

   "As soon as the guardian of Zhongdu came out of the mountain, he planned to set up Nanman, and when he first came out of Qishan, he defeated Zhang Yun..."

  In the beginning of the letter, the words were humble, followed by a list of Feng Duhu's achievements over the years, with words of praise.

  Although he knew that this was Lu Xun's intentional flattery, Feng Duhu's face was a little hot, but at the same time, he had to admit that he was really a little smug.

  After all, what Lu Xun said is the truth.

   More importantly, this is Lu Xun.

   Lu Xun, a famous scholar in the Three Kingdoms period.

  After reading the letter, Feng Duhu raised his head, with an involuntary smile on his lips.

  He looked at the queen:

   "Does the queen know what Lu Xun said in the letter?"

   "This is a letter written by the great general of the Wu Kingdom to me, the right hussar general of the Han Dynasty. How dare I read it privately?"

  Feng Duhu showed the letter to the queen and the left and right wives, and said with a smile:

   "Lu Xun is already sixty years old, right? The words in this letter are too self-deprecating."

   "Not sixty, but close."

  After reading it, the queen also showed surprise on her face, then she seemed to think of something, and shook her head with a smile:

   "Although Lu Xun's move is a bit self-deprecating, as the protector of the Central Committee, he may not be unworthy of these words."

   Madam Zuo, on the other hand, after reading the letter, her face was a bit stern:

   "Lu Xun's letter reminded me of something."

  Madam You interjected: "But what happened in Jingzhou back then?"

  Mrs. Zuo's eyes flashed coldly, but she said nothing.

   But her look said it all.

  Back then, Lu Xun and Lu Meng conspired in Jingzhou, Lu Meng pretended to be sick, and Lu Xun wrote letters to paralyze the old prince of Guan. His words were extremely humble.

  Guan Laojunhou finally fell into the trick, thinking that Lu Xun was not worth worrying about, so he transferred the rear troops defending Soochow to the front line of Xiangfan.

  The following things are well known in the world, so there is no need to say more.

   "Now, no one knows that Lu Xun is the most powerful person in the Wu Kingdom. In my opinion, he wrote this letter with some sincerity."

  The queen disagreed with Mrs. Zuo's words, with a faint smile on her face:

   "In my opinion, his actions are more like judging others by himself. He is afraid that the big man will be like Wu Guo, who wants to take advantage of the struggle between Wu and Wei, break the covenant, and profit from it."

  Hearing this, Feng Duhu couldn't help but glance at the queen.

do not you?

   This time, we made an appointment to send troops together with the State of Wu to defeat the Wei thieves.

   Earlier, Wei Yan was asked to dispatch troops to Hedong on a large scale. When the appointed time was approaching, he was to mobilize the forbidden army to enter Hedong again.

  The commotion was so loud that veterans like Feng Duhu, who had led the army for many years, thought it was because the royal family was determined to let Wei Yan do a little trick.

  Who would have expected that Wei Yan would lead the army to set up camp at Gaodu Pass after the fighting had started for so long, and only let the engineering battalion throw stones up the mountain every day.

  Feng Duhu didn't know how many casualties the Wei army had on the pass, but the casualties of the Han army were basically less than a hundred.

   It is not right to say casualties, it should be only casualties but not deaths.

  Most of them were self-inflicted bruises due to various reasons, and the imperial army accidentally fell off their horses while running in the east of the river. As for the other half, someone in the army fell ill.

  So, isn't this an obvious way to make Sun Shiwan a fool?

  However, the law of heaven favors reincarnation, and Sun Wu's current situation is completely self-inflicted. It seems that the heavens have spared who?

  Feng Duhu naturally didn't dare to say these words in front of the queen.

   After all this matter, the royal family may not have other intentions in it.

  It’s hard to say anyway.

  Feng Duhu touched his chin:

   "So, Lu Xun sent a secret envoy to urge us to increase our troops?"

  Madam You nodded thoughtfully: "It should mean that..."

  Madam Zuo snorted coldly:

   "Based on such a letter, you want the two generals on the left and right of the big man to dispatch at the same time? This is Lu Xun's face!"

  Lu Xun's letter was not just to praise Feng Zhongduhu, but also made a request:

   Request Feng Zhongduhu to lead the troops out of Wuguan and threaten Wancheng.

  Knowing that Lu Xun is one of the enemies of the Guan family, the queen didn't mind Madam Zuo's fierce words.

  She just looked at Feng Zhongduhu:

   "I plan to agree to Lu Xun's request and ask the Central Guard to lead the army to Wuguan."

  Madam You was a little confused, so: "Why?"

  Feng Duhu didn't speak, he glanced at the queen in surprise.

  Madam Zuo frowned.

  The right lady looked at the queen, as if she was waiting for the queen's explanation.

   "Because the secret envoy of the State of Wu also brought a letter from Sun Quan, in which he promised one thing."

  Looking at the few people in the room, the queen said slowly:

   "Sun Quan intends to allocate the land of Youzhou to the big Han, and only asks the Central Guard to lead the army out of Wuguan."

   "Hiss!"

  Feng Duhu's eyes widened.

   "Are you serious?"

   "How dare you speak nonsense about such a big matter?"

  Han and Wu agreed to divide the world equally, and Yong, Liang, Bing, Ji, and Yan belonged to the Han.

  As for Youzhou, which belongs to Hebei Province, Wu State must hold it in his hand.

  Hearing the queen's words at this time, Madam You murmured:

   "In this way, A Lang leads the army to Wuguan, and it is worth one state? What is Wu Guo planning?"

  The queen exhaled, nodded and said:

   "That's right, the picture was drawn by the Wu people. I discussed it with His Majesty last night, and then I got a little clue, but I'm still not sure. That's why I came here today and wanted to discuss it with the Central Guard."

  The room suddenly became quiet.

  Yes, Lu Xun lowered his figure so much, and the Wu people made such a big concession, there must be a conspiracy, and it must be a very big conspiracy.

   Feng Duhu only felt that there was something wrong with this matter, but he couldn't figure it out for a while:

   "Queen, please try to say it."

   "With the prestige of the Protector of the Central Capital, if you lead the army out of Wuguan at this time, it must be the Wei thief in Wancheng..."

   "Xiangyang!" Before the queen finished speaking, Mrs. Zuo, who had the most military talent, exclaimed, "Lu Xun is planning to take Xiangyang!"

  The queen slapped the desk vigorously, then turned to look at Mrs. Zuo.

   There was a sense of sympathy in his eyes, and his tone was full of appreciation:

   "That's right! I think so too. Lu Xun's move must be to use the prestige of the Central Guard to mobilize the Wei army in Wancheng."

   "In this way, the Wei thief will have to weaken Xiangyang's defense, and then he can wait for the opportunity to attack Xiangyang."

  Lu Xun has never shown his face. If Feng Duhu personally leads the army out of Wuguan, the Wei thieves in Wancheng must prioritize the west and despise the south.

  Combined with the fact that the fighting in the middle of the south has not stopped, it has attracted most of the attention of the Wei army in Jingzhou.

   Not to mention that Sun Quan in the southeast led the army northward.

  Under such circumstances, Lu Xun led troops to attack Xiangyang by surprise, and there is indeed a great probability that he can take Xiangyang into his hands.

   "Can I just say that I am worthy of being Lu Xun?"

  Feng Duhu took a deep breath, his face could not help showing shock.

  Although he didn't know how the war in the Jianghuai area in the southeast was going, Feng Duhu had an intuition that Xiangyang might be the ultimate goal of Wu's battle.

   "So, this time, Wu Guo actually used the entire Southeast Jianghuai War as a feint attack?"

  What a big handwriting!

   "Take a state for a city?"

   What a boldness!

   Calculated the plan of the Wu people, but the queen was more open-minded:

   "Things have come to the present, with the power of the world, even if the Wu people don't want to change, I'm afraid they can't help them."

  When the two countries made an alliance, the national power of Wu State seemed to be stronger than that of Han.

  So according to the situation at that time, if the Han State can succeed in the Northern Expedition, there is no reason for the Wu State to fail.

  If the Han Kingdom can return to the old capital and obtain Guanzhong, then under normal circumstances, the Wu Kingdom should also be able to drink horses by the river.

  If the Han State further took Hebei, then the Wu State must have included the entire Central Plains.

   There is nothing wrong with exchanging Yanzhou for Youzhou at that time.

   But who would have expected that the world would become what it is today?

  The state of Han is ready to attack Hebei, but the state of Wu has not made any progress yet.

  What will I exchange for Youzhou?

   Empty and white teeth saying that this was agreed at the beginning?

  Even if Han Guo keeps its promise, Wu Guo has to be able to send people to receive it.

   "It's true, but it's not. This is Wu Guo's last game."

   "Their plan is that even if they can't march into the Central Plains in the future, they can still defend according to the river. Therefore, they are determined to win Xiangyang."

  The big man has the most knowledge, and at the same time, the top three women get together, and you can deduce the possible existence of Wu Guo with every word you say.

  Although it cannot be determined that it is completely correct, at least the general direction should be about the same.

  Finally, the queen looked at Feng Duhu:

   "So the Central Guard thinks, should we take soldiers to Wuguan?"

  Feng Duhu didn't answer immediately, but just said:

   "Queen, let Rong Chen think about it."

   It is related to the future changes of the Han, Wei and Wu Three Kingdoms, and it is indeed carefully weighed.

   "I always feel that Wu Guo wants to take advantage of the big man."

  Madam Zuo was a little upset, "They gave up Youzhou, which they couldn't get in the first place, but asked the big man to help them get the important place in Xiangyang."

   "You can't say that," the queen shook her head disapprovingly, "Fame is still very important."

   "We promised to give Youzhou to Wu State. At that time, it was the empress of the emperor and advertised to the world."

  The big man has taken the greatest initiative at this point.

   It is enough to just walk upright step by step.

   There is no need to learn from the people of Wu, and just bear the name of treachery and let the world criticize it.

   "And the land of Xiangyang is not easy for us to take."

   Between Wuguan and Xiangyang, after all, there is still a city of Wan.

  If the Han Dynasty sends troops to capture Wancheng in the future, then the Wu people will definitely take the opportunity to take Xiangyang.

  Feng Duhu finally sighed:

   "But if this is the case, let the Wu people take Xiangyang, then the big man may not be able to go to Wancheng to take Xuchang in the future."

   After all, Wancheng is located on a plain, and there is no danger to defend it.

  If not, Cao Cao would not be so frightened that he wanted to move the capital after he decided that Guan Laojunhou was going to conquer Xiangfan.

  In the future, if the big Han wants to attack Xuchang via Wancheng, it is equivalent to exposing the rear of the army to the Wu army again.

  Who knows, by that time, Wu people will not be able to resist another backstab?

   "If you want to take Wancheng, you have to control Xiangyang at the same time. If Xiangyang doesn't keep it, Wancheng will be in trouble."

  The queen's eyes lit up when she heard that Feng Duhu wanted to capture Xuchang from Wuguan, but she soon sighed:

  “Is there anything in the world where you can have your cake and eat it too?”

  Feng Duhu subconsciously glanced at the left and right wives.

   Who said no?

   Am I having both?

   "In this way, the Wu people's plan may not have been intentional, forcing us to lose a way to destroy Wei."

  Madam You doesn't know much about military affairs, but she understands people's hearts.

  After a little thought, she guessed another possible potential intention of Wu Guo to seize Xiangyang.

  If you can’t go south, you can only go north.

   In this way, not only will there be more time for Wu Guo, but also more choices.

   Controlled the way that the big Han conquered Wei from the south, and if the big Han took Hebei and crossed from the north to the south, Wu might take advantage of the opportunity from the south.

   "It makes sense." The queen nodded, "I didn't expect that."

  She looked at Feng Duhu:

   "The Secret Envoy of the State of Wu has been waiting for the news. There is not much time. The Central Commander still needs to make a decision as soon as possible."
