    Sun Quan deplored Lu Su's death very much, so the funeral was held grandly.

    Originally, Sun Quan planned to let Lu Su's concubine be buried with him, but later he gave up when he discovered that Lu Su had made a will to be buried in the same cave as his first wife without anyone disturbing her.

    In fact, Lu Meng, Zhang Zhao and others understood that this was Lu Su's idea of ??saving his concubine before he died.

    The last time Sun Quan held a funeral for Chen Wu, he had Chen Wu¡¯s concubine buried with him.  Although the barbaric method of burial was abolished in the early Han Dynasty, there are still people who still use it, and Sun Quan is one of them.  Many ministers in Jiangdong suggested abolishing it, but Sun Quan refused.

    On the order of Cao Cao, King of Wei, Huan Jie came to Wu County with the edict from the Emperor of Yecheng to express his condolences to Lu Su. This gave Lu Su and Sun Quan great face.

    Therefore, Sun Quan and Jiangdong officials ceremoniously welcomed Huan Jie into the Wuhou Mansion.

    "Foreign officials have seen the Marquis of Wu!" Huan Jie saluted Sun Quan.

    "Mr. Boxu, no courtesy!" Sun Quan quickly bowed his hands to Huan Jie, "You are an elder, and you have been kind to me, the Sun family. You deserve it!"

    "Some trivial matters have already passed, and there is no need to mention them anymore, Marquis Wu."

    After Sun Jian was shot and killed by Huang Zu, Sun Ce sent people to ask for the body, but Huang Zu refused to return it.  It was Huan Jie who worked around it, first persuading Liu Biao, then Huang Zu, and finally returned Sun Jian's body to Jiangdong.  Therefore, Sun Ce and Sun Quan were very grateful for Huan Jie's kindness.

    Of course, this is also one of the reasons why Cao Cao sent Huan Jie.

    "Zijing was a great talent of the Han Dynasty, but he passed away at an early age. My lord, the King of Wei, deeply regrets it. His Majesty also often praised his great achievements, so he sent me to pay homage to him."

    The Jiangdong officials in Wuhou's mansion, including Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hu, Lu Meng, Lu Xun, Lu Fan, Gu Yong and others, did not take Huan Jie's words seriously.

    Cao Cao's Chibi was defeated, and Lu Su contributed a lot.  Although the Battle of Hefei was fought by Lu Meng and Lu Xun, Lu Su contained Wenpin's army in Guangling!  After Lu Su died, Cao Cao would probably be secretly happy and also regret it.  As for Your Majesty, who takes him seriously?

    "Thank you, King Wei, thank you Your Majesty!" Out of courtesy, Sun Quan waved a salute to the north.

    "Mr. Boxu came here. Apart from paying homage to Zijing, do you have anything else to do?" Zhang Zhao asked.

    "Marquis Wu, Duke Xuande sent Sun Gongyou here to discuss an alliance between the two families, and Marquis Wu has agreed. The King of Wei has been stationing troops at Guandu for several days, but he still hasn't seen Marquis Wu send troops, so he wants to know the reason." Huan Jie said.  This is the real purpose of coming here.

    This time, Cao Cao was not sure of victory in the Battle of Guandu, so he was unwilling to let Sun Quan sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

    "Mr. Boxu, it's not because my lord is unwilling to send troops. If Zijing goes now, I will break the pillars of Jiangdong!" Zhang Zhao said.

    "Zi Bu, there are many talented people in Jiangdong, L¨¹ Meng and Lu Xun are all handsome men, but Jingzhou is empty, how can they still not win it?" Huan Jie said disdainfully.

    "Jingzhou is empty, but there are 30,000 naval troops in Gansu and Ningxia. They are currently stationed at Chaisang. They can reach Yuzhang and Wujun in a short time along the river. There are not many soldiers and horses in the east of the river. If we go forward  Go and attack Jingzhou. If you do this, Jiangdong will be in danger." This issue has always been worried about Sun Quan.

    "Ha" After hearing this, Huan Jie burst into laughter, "Wu Hou, can this question make it difficult for talents from Jiangdong to live?"

    "Mr. Boxu, does he have a solution?" Sun Quan heard Huan Jie's words and asked hurriedly, "Sir, please give me some advice."

    "Jiangdong is rich in iron ore. As long as some iron chains are built to block the river near Yuzhang, Gan Ning's warships will not be able to go down the river."

    "Iron cable across the river?" Lu Meng's eyes suddenly lit up, "Lord, this is indeed a good idea!"

    "That's right, Lord!" Zhang Zhao and others also nodded in agreement.

    This method seems stupid, but it is actually very clever. A large ship traveling on the river is intercepted by an iron cable in the water. It is top-heavy and can easily roll over. Even if it can barely stabilize the ship, the ship behind it rushes over and the two ships collide.  If not turned over, it will be destroyed.

    These civil and military officials in Jiangdong have been dealing with ships for a long time, so the truth behind it is naturally clear.

    Huan Jie was very satisfied with the reaction of the civil and military officials in Jiangdong. At the same time, he kept praising Sima Yi in his heart.

    This method was told to him by Sima Yi before he left.  It can be seen that Sima Yi is definitely a great talent. He has already clearly seen the threat Gan Ning's stationed in Chaisang poses to Jiangdong, and he also thought of a way to solve the problem.  Therefore, Huanjie decided that after returning, he would definitelyHe advised his lord Cao Cao to reuse Sima Yi.

    "Mr. Boxu, please rest in the post house first. Rong Gu will discuss this matter with the civil and military officials and make an immediate reply."

    "I hope Wu Hou can make a decision as soon as possible. The chance of fighting is fleeting!" Huan Jie saluted Sun Quan and turned to leave.

    "What do you think Mr. Boxu said?" Sun Quan asked after Huan Jie left.

    "My lord, Huan Shizhong's strategy of crossing the river with iron ropes can indeed block Gan Ning's navy. The general thinks that he can send troops to Jingzhou!" Lu Meng said first.

    "Grand Governor, we can't hide our iron rope across the river from Gan Ning. He will definitely not choose to take the water route again. What should we do if we attack Jiangdong from the road?" Gu Yong asked.

    "Yuantan doesn't need to worry. Although Gan Ning has 30,000 soldiers and horses, if he attacks from the road, he has to attack city by city. There are county soldiers in each city, ranging from three to five thousand to one or two thousand. As long as  We strengthen the walls and clear the country, and defend the city. I am afraid that he has lost all his troops before he reaches Wu County." Lu Meng said with a smile.

    "The Governor is right, the siege will not only require the loss of many soldiers and horses, but also takes time. We don't have to worry at all!" Lu Fan said.

    "Lord, we can send troops to attack Jingzhou, but we must be on guard against Cao Cao!" Lu Xun stepped out and saluted Sun Quan, "If Cao Cao is sincere, he will definitely withdraw Xuzhou's heavy troops. Otherwise, his purpose is not  Yanzhou, but Huainan and Guangling!"

    "Didn't Wenpin evacuate to Guandu?"

    "But Zhang Liao, Li Dian, Yue Jin and others are still there, and Xuzhou still has 30,000 soldiers and horses!"

    "Bo Yan is right, my lord, while we are carrying out the iron cable crossing across the river, we should also pay close attention to Cao Cao's movements. If Cao Cao really withdraws Xuzhou's heavy troops, it will not be too late for us to send troops again!" Zhang Zhao said.

    "Okay!" Sun Quan stood up excitedly, "Zibu, Zigang, you are responsible for the iron cable crossing the river!"

    "No!"

    "Yuan Tan, please reply to Huan Jie immediately, we will definitely send troops!"

    "No!"

    "Ziming Boyan, you two are preparing to send troops!"

    "No!"

    "Report to my lord, Deng Zhi, the envoy of the King of Han, wants to see you!" At this moment, a soldier came in to report.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
