In the early morning, a fleet sailed from Lishui into Taihu Lake. The fleet consisted of more than 100 warships of 500 stone, carrying 3,000 elite Jingzhou naval troops, commanded by the naval commander Zhou Xin. However, following Lu Xun's order, Lu Xun stood on the first big ship with his hands behind his back, feeling quite complicated. In just over a month, his life was like walking in a triangle, from Sun Quan's governor to Liu Jing's aide, and then turned back to Eastern Wu.

When Bo Yan returns to Dongwu this time, Dongwu will definitely entrust it to pay attention to it. I hope Bo Yan puts the overall situation first, so don’t refuse.

Liu Jing's words seemed to be echoing in Lu Xun's ears, which made him feel an indescribable feeling in his heart. Perhaps Liu Jing also knew that he was going back to Jiangdong, so he did not appoint him in the end, but just used him as his aide, so he was still in vain.

But Lu Xun knew in his heart that it was actually different. He had already been loyal to Liu Jing. So whether he was in Jianye or Dongwu, his fundamental position should be to stand on the side of the Han Kingdom. This is the key. When he went back this time, he needed to conceal the fact that he had been loyal to Liu Jing. This was not something he was willing to do, which made Lu Xun feel embarrassed.

Taihu Lake has vast waves, and today the wind and waves are quite strong. The northwest blows hard, making the ships sail extremely fast. The sails of hundreds of warships are like white clouds floating on the water, breaking the waves and sailing towards Dongwucheng.

"See you, please see"

A soldier pointed ahead and shouted, "There are warships ahead."

Lu Xun's thoughts were pulled back. He stared forward and looked forward. Sure enough, there were more than a dozen warships in front of him, all of which were about 300 stones. The battle flag of Jiangdong floated on the mast. Lu Xun immediately realized that this was the Jiangdong army's sentry ship, which should have come from Piling County, north of Taihu Lake.

Lu Xun immediately ordered: "The fleet slows down and presents a font-shaped formation."

The signal soldiers waved the flags and the Han army warship immediately slowed down and began to form formations on the water surface, quickly forming a formation of one main and two wings. At this time, the typical surface combat formation was attacking head-on and encircled the two wings. At this time, the Jiangdong army sentry ship opposite also realized the threat of the opponent's warship and began to evacuate from afar, leaving only one ship. The ship slowly approached the Han army fleet with the flags of the armistice.

The hundred soldiers on Lu Xun's warship raised their crossbows and aimed at the other party. Lu Xun suddenly recognized the general on the bow of the other party and quickly ordered: "No arrows allowed."

His boat also came up. The two boats approached. Lu Xun held his fists and saluted, laughing loudly, "Is it General Huang?"

The Jiangdong general standing on the bow of the ship opposite was Huang Gai. He led 5,000 militia troops to station in Piling County. Piling County was also along Taihu Lake. It was normal to patrol the lake. Huang Gai had only more than ten ships under his command, and he was not the opponent of this Han army fleet at all. However, he did not want to evacuate. He wanted to ask the fleet's intention to enter Taihu Lake.

Huang Gai didn't expect it would be Lu Xun. He was shocked and also clasped his fists and asked, "How could it be Governor Lu?"

Lu Xun shook his head, "Don't you know that General Huang has been dismissed from Wu Hou in Yuzhang. I am no longer the governor of Jiangdong. I am just a white man now."

"Since that's the case, why didn't Bo Yan go back to Jianye, and what happened to these warships?" Huang Gai's tone was very stern and full of suspicion.

Lu Xun said lightly: "Three points in Jiangdong, as a native of Wujun, I naturally returned to Wujun. As for these warships and troops, the army was a prisoner of war in Jiangdong captured by the Jiaozhou army. I wanted to come from the Han army, and the warships were asked about what the Han army borrowed."

Huang Gai couldn't suppress the anger in his heart and shouted: "Did Bo Yan betray the Marquis of Wu?"

"Not"

Lu Xun also raised his voice and retorted in a confrontation: "It's not that I want to betray the Marquis of Wu, but that the Marquis of Wu cannot tolerate me. This time I returned to Wujun, not to fight with the Marquis of Wujun, but to defend the homes of the people of Wujun, especially the Kuaiji army. There are many mountainous people in their army. Once they attack Wujun, they will inevitably plunder the troops, and I will never allow it."

Huang Gai couldn't speak for a long time, and finally he sighed and said, "The internal strife in Jiangdong is divided into three parts. General Bo Fu's hard work is destroyed. Jiangdong no longer has the ability to compete with Cao Liu, and from then on he goes to decline. Bo Yan, Jiangdong has fallen to this point today, don't you feel heartbroken?"

"General Huang, I feel as sad as you, but I think the responsibility for the decline of Jiangdong lies with the Marquis of Wu. He indulged and even provoked factional struggles. From the officialdom to the army, there was chaos. Even Jiangdong veterans like General Huang were neglected because they were classified as Lujiang faction. He also intervened in commanding the military, resulting in Jiangdong's failure in foreign countries for several years, the morale of the army was defeated, and the people were overwhelmed, causing the people to be resentful. Such a lord of Jiangdong should abdicate. I think General Bo Fu will be the orthodox Jiangdong after he was named. Why didn't General Huang accompany me to assist the lord and revitalize the glory of Jiangdong in the past?"

Lu Xun was very eloquent, and Huang Gai was speechless after saying something. He sighed and said, "I can't tell you, but I won't be bewitched by you. The lord of Wu County is not Sun Shao. I believe you know that since you are stubborn, it's better for us to be the master of our own. Today we will be clear about our will."

Huang Gai turned around and said, "Let's go"

The ship sailed and quickly sailed northeastward. Lu Xun did not order to chase him. Instead, he watched Huang Gai's ship gradually fade away. He smiled bitterly, and he almost believed his righteous words. He was not loyal to Wujun, and he was clearly going back to be a spy. He didn't know what he would evaluate Lu Boyan in the future.

However, the history books were written by the winner, and Lu Xun knew better. If he helped the Han army unify the world, Lu Xun would not be classified as a treacherous person.

"Set out for Dongwu County."

With the order, Lu Xun re-straited and sailed towards Dongwu County.

In the evening, a hundred Han army warships arrived at the shore of Taihu Lake in Dongwu County. There were dozens of miles from Dongwu City and needed to go to the county town by the canal. However, Lu Xun did not order the ship to go to the county town, but was anchored on the military dock on the shore of Taihu Lake. The fleet did not have any Han army signs, and no one dared to make things difficult for him. Lu Xun ordered Zhou Xin to arrange the soldiers, and then took a small boat to go to the county town along the canal.

...

The night gradually became deeper, and at the first update, a carriage, under the escort of dozens of servants, slowly drove into the Lu Manor north of the county town, and stopped in front of the old house. The heads of the Lu family Lu Jun and Lu set off the carriage. The manor manager quickly came up and supported Lu Jun. Lu Jun asked in a low voice: "Is Bo Yan here?"

"He is waiting for the head of the family."

Lu Jun received news about the manor. When Lu Xun came back, he hurriedly came out of the city and rushed to the manor. The person he was with Lu Li. Lu Jun knew that Lu Xun's return must be related to Liu Jing.

Lu Jun and Lu Li walked into the old house and came to the inner hall. Lu Xun had already been waiting in the hall. He stepped forward and knelt down to salute, "My nephew Lu Xun greeted the head of the family and the third uncle."

Lu Xun belongs to the junior of the Lu family. Although he ranks at a high position, he still has to perform the rituals of juniors in the family. Lu Jun quickly helped him up, "Get up quickly, please."

The three of them greeted each other and entered the inner hall and drove out the servants. Only the three of them were left in the inner hall. Lu Jun then asked: "I heard that the Han army stationed in Wuhu, and his nephew came under the order of the King of Han."

The news that Lu Xun was in the Han army almost spread throughout Jiangdong, but the news that Lu Xun had already served Liu Jing was still confidential, and even the Lu family knew about it. Everyone thought that Lu Xun was handed over to the Han army like Bu Zhi and was released by the Han army. After all, there was no news that Lu Xun had been granted the title of official position by Liu Jing. However, Lu Jun suspected that his nephew had secretly surrendered to Liu Jing, so he first attacked indirectly.

Even when Lu Xun faced the head of the family, he did not want to admit that he had surrendered to Liu Jing. He heard that the head of the family was testing him, so he said, "My nephew did not serve the King of Han, so there was no way to be the order of the King of Han. However, I could talk to the King of Han and talk about friendship with friends. This time my nephew borrowed three thousand Han troops and hundreds of warships, hoping to help Wu Chenghou with his arm."

Lu Jun was overjoyed. If the Lu family had the support of the Han army, their status would be extraordinary. He hurriedly asked, "Where is the army?"

"Now the Taihu Army Wharf is anchored."

At this time, Lu Li next to him said, "Does Bo Yan want to hand over this army to Sun Yu, or do he be the commander himself?"

Lu Li's words were also very critical. If the army gave it to Sun Yu, the Lu family still had nothing. Lu Jun looked at his nephew with anticipation. Lu Xun smiled slightly, "Please rest assured that the head of the family and the third uncle. Before leaving, the King of Han had an order. This army was controlled by me and would not join the Wujun army, so it had nothing to do with Sun Yu."

Lu Jun let go of his heart, and he sighed again: "Wujun is nominally Sun Shao as his lord, but the military and political power is in Sun Yu's hands. Sun Shao is just a puppet. Sun Yu is cruel and ruthless and has great power. If his nephew doesn't give him the army, he may not let it go, so be careful."

Lu Xun sneered, "This is the Han army, not that he can afford to provoke. If he dares to plot against this army, the King of Han will be the first to let him go. I wish he didn't have the courage."

"With that being said, I'm afraid he will turn to the Lu family."

Lu Jun sighed and said, "To be honest, our Lu family originally supported Sun Shao, and so was the Gu family. Unexpectedly, Sun Yu was in power in the end, which was disappointing. When I talked about this with Gu Yong, I felt a little regretful when I talked about this, but now it's no use to regret it."

Lu Xun smiled and said, "Actually, the King of Han also supports Sun Shao."

Lu Jun was overjoyed. He was about to say something, but Lu Xun waved his hand and interrupted him, "Don't think too much for the time being. The top priority now is not who is in power, but who wants to survive. Sun Quan will not let Wu County go, and Kuaiji County will not let Wu County go. When we completely resist the attacks between the north and the south, we will consider who will take the decision."

Lu Jun nodded silently. He could understand Lu Xun's painstaking efforts. Lu Xun said again: "In addition, only the three of us know the true attitude of the King of Han, and it cannot be spread outside the world. Even Gu Yong cannot say it. Otherwise, the Lu family will have a catastrophe. I will visit Sun Yu tomorrow to express the King of Han's support for him."

Lu Jun and Lu Li looked at each other, and both felt that the situation was even more complicated than they thought. At this time, Lu Jun suddenly remembered something and said with a smile: "The nephew came back just in time. According to the prior agreement, the Gu family served as chief secretary and the Lu family served as military advisor, but Lu Ji was inconvenient in his legs and feet, so it was a bit difficult to make him serve as military advisor. The position of Wujun military advisor should be the nephew."
