Chapter 204 The Nightmare of Hefei Is Here, You Dongwu Can Break It if You Want!
As the Yangtze River rolls eastwards, several awning boats are placed at the dock.
Because this is the Xiangjiang River and Liu Bei's territory, even if Lu Su is sent, it is impossible to send a warship or a building ship.
But Sun Quan specially asked Lu Meng to send it off, which showed how much he valued Lu Su, the governor, and... the importance he attached to the "fourth son of Guan Linguan".
"Tzuyu——"
Zhuge Jin was greeting Lu Meng when he heard Lu Su's hoarse voice coming from the cabin of the awning boat.
Lu Meng said quickly: "The Governor asked Ziyu to go to the cabin to talk..."
oh…
Zhuge Jin raised his eyes and saw Lu Meng's meaningful eyes. He looked back at Guan Lin and saw that he didn't seem to mind.
"Okay..." Zhuge Jin agreed and asked Lu Meng while getting on the boat.
"Is the Governor's illness getting better?"
"Still the same, coughing badly, this time... I hope Zhang Zhongjing can cure him!"
After hearing Lu Meng's words, Zhuge Jin sighed and said with emotion: "It was not Divine Doctor Zhongjing who cured him, but Fourth Young Master Guan allowed Divine Doctor Zhongjing to cure him..."
After saying that, Zhuge Jin looked back at Guan Lin and quickly got on the boat.
For a time, apart from a few servants of Soochow and Guan Lin's Bu Qu, Guan Lin and Lu Meng were the only two people left by the Laodao River.
Guan Lin, on the other hand, walked to Lu Meng's side with great interest.
Look to the left, look to the right...look up and down.
Lu Meng looked a little uncomfortable and said in a cold voice.
"Your Excellency is the Fourth Young Master Guan, right?"
Guan Lin didn't answer him.
At this moment, his mind had already gone to the sky.
What he was thinking of was...
Finally I met Lu Meng. He looked like a human, was in his thirties, had a handsome demeanor, and a handsome face. Why was he so indifferent?
What Guan Lin thought of was Lu Meng's white clothes crossing the river, Lu Meng's shamelessness, and Lu Meng's backstabbing!
Of course, Guan Lin can also understand that Lu Meng was born in the military, not an elite politician, nor a big clan. His strategic vision is still far from that of Lu Su, Xun Yu, and Zhuge Liang...
After all, he is just a dog of the Sun family, and he bites whoever he is told to bite?
Guan Lin continued to look, looking around in circles... as if he were looking at an "animal"!
Lu Meng became increasingly uncomfortable.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
Guan Lin opened his mouth and asked, "Is the general from Fubei County, Runan?"
Lu Meng replied coldly: "So what?"
Guan Lin just nodded and recalled that Lu Meng's hometown, the so-called "Fubei County in Runan", was later known as "Lujiagang, Wanghua Town, Funan County, Anhui Province"...
Of course, that's not the point.
The point is that Guan Lin has been there, and then heard from people here that in his hometown... all the stone statues of Lu Meng himself were smashed.
The reason is also very strange.
In the 1980s and 1990s, businessmen from the south came here to investigate investment.
And southern businessmen all worship the God of Wealth!
Who is the God of Wealth? It's Guan Gong!
But when I saw that there was a statue of Lu Meng here, could Guan Gong bless them and make them rich?
He immediately became very angry and did not want to invest. As a result, the local government had no choice but to demolish the Lü Meng statue, euphemistically saying it was because of "traffic problems"!
Of course, there are too many things like this. There is also the Lingling Martial Arts Temple in Yongzhou, which is known as the largest martial arts temple south of the Yangtze River. But the amazing thing is that this temple was originally Lu Meng's temple.
There is also the Wuhou Temple in Gong'an County, Jingzhou, which was originally also the Lü Meng Temple.
During the Ming Dynasty, a Jinshi came here and saw that the person worshiping was Lu Meng. He was very angry and said that a sinister villain like Lu Meng deserves to be worshiped for a thousand years? Smash it and serve Zhuge Liang instead!
Therefore, this place became Wuhou Temple.
"well--"
Thinking of this, Guan Lin let out a long sigh. He glanced at Lu Meng, said "Alas" and shook his head repeatedly.
Lu Meng quit now, he felt...
Guan Lin's expression, actions, demeanor...what is going on? This is looking down on him!
His majestic Soochow general was actually so despised!
"You kid..."
Immediately Lu Meng clenched his fist.
But Guan Lin opened his mouth and said: "I heard that Wu Hou shot a tiger, and where the tiger died, General Lu specially built a city called 'Lü City'? Is this true?"
As soon as these words came out, Lu Meng was startled, as if a nerve in his heart was suddenly touched, and he asked quickly.
"How do you know?"
"You are interested in building a city? I know you are not interested in it?" Guan Lin spread his hands and said earnestly: "From now on, General Lu will regard Lu City as his hometown...bring over ancestral halls, ancestral graves, etc..."
These words have profound meaning.
Lu Meng was immediately stunned.
It's not that he was surprised that Guan Lin asked him to move his tomb, but... the fact that he built 'Lü City' was a secret arrangement by Sun Quan, and he built it in secret... The purpose of building this city was simply to facilitate the Marquis of Wu. Sun Quan went to shoot the big tiger...
But here comes the problem!
——‘This boy? How do you know? 』
——"Is it possible... that he had eyes in Soochow?" 』
——"But about the construction of Lucheng...except for Wu Hou, only Lu Xun and Lu Boyan know about it...could it...been leaked by Lu Boyan?" Lu Boyan...he...he is this boy's eyes? 』
Lu Meng suddenly had a lot of thoughts.
Indeed, he, Sun Quan, and Lu Xun were the only three people who knew about the construction of "Lucheng".
He didn't say...how could Wu Hou say it?
Then...only Lu Xun is left.
Considering the complex relationship between the "Liu Yu Faction" and the "Local Clan" in the Jiangdong faction that is both cooperative and antagonistic... Lu Meng could not help but think too much...
But Guan Lin's original intention is actually very pure.
Your stone statue is not popular in your hometown, so why bother to humiliate yourself?
Thinking further, Guan Lin thought that as the situation develops, Lu Meng will probably have to stab him in the back... He must be careful, but Lu Meng's reputation will get bad sooner or later.
It was a warm reminder...
The crime is not as bad as the ancestral graves, and the crime is not as bad as the family members!
Lucheng was built by Lü Meng himself, so your descendants will be fine just guarding this one-third of the acre...
Lest the more than 30,000 Guandi temples around the world scare you Lu family to death!
And this Lucheng is the only place in the world for later generations where imperial temples are not allowed within a radius of fifty miles.
It is recorded in the Qing Dynasty book "Zi Buyu" that there are no temples within fifty miles of Lucheng. Once a Guan temple is built, there will be the sound of fighting and wrestling every night. Use drums as a warning and do not build a Guan temple.
The book also said that a fortune teller came from out of town and stayed overnight in Lu Meng's temple.
As a result, there was a thunderstorm at night, and the roof tiles were flying everywhere. The locals were very surprised. Finally, they discovered that this out-of-town fortune teller had a piece of cloth draped over his shoulders with a portrait of Guan Yu embroidered on it!
It can also be seen from this that when Lu Meng and Guan Yu were alive, they were obsessed with each other and had a deep hatred. Even if they died... they would not rest underground and there would be no peace!
This is Guan Lin's plan, but who knows...
His casual "well-intentioned" reminder was unintentional on the part of the speaker, but intentional on the part of the listener.
These words turned into Lu Xun's disloyalty in Lu Meng's mind!
——"Lücheng was built secretly by my subordinates, and it is still under construction. It is impossible to leak it. As expected, these powerful Soochow families are all a bunch of underfed wolves... accustomed to adapting to the wind. 』
——"I said, how did Lu Xun lose his halberd in the sand? Humph, that's how it is. I don't know how much Soochow information the Lu family sold to Jingzhou." 』
For a moment, Lu Meng's eyes narrowed, looking fierce.
Guan Lin trembled subconsciously...
I muttered in my heart, why is this person like this, changing his face as soon as he says it?
Immediately stay three steps away from him.
Don't play with him anymore.
——"I was worried that you would still fight with me after my father died, so I am so idle that I remind you..."
——"Ball count, do you like to smash the stone statue or not? It doesn't matter how you like it!" 』
Thoughts on this…
Guan Lin pinched his waist and looked like "a dog bites Lu Dongbin and doesn't know a good heart."
Lu Meng squinted his eyes and muttered in his heart about the leak of news about the construction of Lu City...
at this time.
"Fourth Young Master Guan——"
Zhuge Jin's voice came from the awning boat. Guan Lin turned to look at him. Zhuge Jin said: "The Grand Governor has invited... Fourth Young Master Guan."
"Invite me to get on the boat?" Guan Lin was startled and asked: "He can't get off the boat? Why bother?"
After saying this, Zhuge Jin quickly walked to Guan Lin's side. He lowered his voice and said, "The Governor is asking about the strategy of 'breaking Hefei'. I have just persuaded him. The Governor said that if the Fourth Young Master cannot inform him, Even if he dies on the Xiangjiang River, he will never set foot on Changsha land!"
Well…
These words immediately made Guan Lin startled.
Dare you beg me to save you, right?
His eyes narrowed slightly...
First he glanced at Lu Meng, then at the awning boat... he murmured in his heart.
——"Why are these Soochow people so interesting?" What do I, Guan Lin, owe you? 』
According to the past, Guan Lin's temperament, no matter how you like it, he is not willing to save him, but considering that this is Lu Su...
Guan Lin sighed "Alas" and spread his hands.
——"That's it, that's it...the auxiliary car is dependent on each other, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, harmony is the most precious, harmony is the most precious!" 』
With this in mind, Guan Lin stepped onto the boat.
When he arrived in front of the awning, his tone was respectful: "I have admired Lu Zi for a long time and respected my senior's name. This junior is being polite."
When his words came out, Lu Su's hoarse voice responded, "Ahem...yes...it's your name that I have long admired, Fourth Young Master Guan! It's my turn, Lu Su, to be polite!"
Guan Lin respectfully…
Who would have thought that Lu Su was more humble than him, and Guan Lin was shocked.
Over here, Guan Lin entered the wupeng.
Over there, after Zhuge Jin came ashore, Lu Meng walked to his side and said calmly: "I finally know why the Hefei gambling game happened, why Jingzhou was handed over, and why the Lu family army was defeated in Changsha again!"
Zhuge Jin was shocked by this sudden sentence.
Lu Meng's words continued.
"——We have Guan Yu's eyes in Soochow! Moreover, this eye has a valuable status and great power, and he has many soldiers and horses in his hands!"
Following Lu Meng's words, Zhuge Jin's eyes gradually widened, revealing a bit of disbelief.
"who is it?"
"I can't tell you until we find out!" Lu Meng showed his unique caution. "You must be careful during this period. If you have anything, report it directly to Marquis Wu. Don't lie to others!"
This is...
A very solemn reminder.
And Jiaozhou, which is five hundred miles away...
"Ah sneeze——"
Lu Xun, who was directing the siege, suddenly sneezed...
The deputy general of Lu Jiajun said quickly: "It's windy here, general, you might as well go to the tent and wait... The Jiaozhou soldiers in Cangwu County can't hold it anymore!"
"Ahem..."
Lu Xun coughed again and waved his hand to indicate to the deputy general that he should say nothing.
He looked at the Jiaozhou city that was about to be conquered and murmured in his heart.
——"Why do I suddenly feel a cold feeling on my back, as if someone... stabbed me in the back!" 』
——『Who will stab me, Lu Xun, in the back?』
…
…
Yizhou, Fuling County.
This city, which is famous for "pickled mustard" in later generations, is facing a new round of tests at this moment.
Dark clouds are pressing down on the city...
Under Xu Huang's orders, Cao's army is launching attacks on the city again and again.
The bloody setting sun fills the battlefield... Fuling County is already in a difficult situation.
Because most of the defenders are on leave and go home, less than a thousand people are temporarily recruited, and most importantly... because Liu Huangshu ordered that the defenses be removed in advance, the shortage of manpower caused a large number of arrows, battering rams, and stones to be moved back to the arsenal.
The enemy came in a hurry and had no time to move these weapons...
As a result, the few defenders could only dismantle everything they saw, the doors of the towers, the kitchen utensils for cooking, as long as it was hard, they smashed it all down!
Now, the garrison commander of Fuling is the surrendered general Yan Yan...
When Zhuge Liang entered Shu, he ordered Zhang Fei to conquer Jiangzhou. Yan Yan was defeated and captured, but he still shouted. "There are only beheaded generals in our state, no surrendered generals!"
Zhang Fei admired Yan Yan's courage and released Yan Yan...
Now, Yan Yan is valued by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang and is stationed in Fuling!
At this moment, he stood on the tower, watching the increasingly unfavorable battle situation, sweat beads on his forehead kept condensing, and he kept shouting-"Hold on, hold on!"
Xu Huang, the leader of the attacking party under the tower, held a big knife in his hand, and he stared at the gate of Fuling County with his eyes fixed.
The deputy general beside him sighed: "The enemy can no longer resist. It is expected that this city gate will be captured in less than an hour..."
These words reached Xu Huang's ears.
Xu Huang's mouth corners raised, he smiled: "It doesn't take an hour, the Shu army can't resist!"
Sure enough...
Many Cao soldiers have climbed up the tower along the ladder.
"Ah——"
Accompanied by roars, the pioneer warriors of the Cao army climbed up the tower and fought with the Shu army in the narrow corridor of the city wall.
Every time someone fell, someone else flew up. They quickly formed a battle formation and occupied a space, allowing more warriors who climbed up the tower first.
The first wave of people were Xu Huang's personal soldiers...It should be noted that Xu Huang is also from Shanxi. Like Zhang Liao, he is Guan Yu's fellow countryman!
His personal soldiers are also extremely brave.
For a while, countless spears, short knives, and sticks danced on the tower...
——Bloody setting sun!
"The city is about to be broken——" Xu Huang said lightly, and was about to raise the flag to let the central army launch the last round of sprint.
Who would have thought that at this moment,
A letter arrived on a fast horse.
A strong man with big shoulders and waist passed by the soldiers on the fast horse and walked in front of Xu Huang.
He shouted: "Gongming...Gongming..."
It was Xu Chu.
"General Xu?" Xu Huang thought that Jiangzhou, the capital of Bazhong, had been broken, and the prime minister sent Xu Chu to see the situation here. He hurriedly said: "General Xu, wait for another half an hour, it will be enough to capture Fuling!"
Xu Huang said this with his back straight, full of aura.
Who would have thought that Xu Chu's words would make his aura fall to the bottom all of a sudden.
"Don't attack, the prime minister has ordered... to withdraw!"
"Withdraw? Withdraw?" Xu Huang seemed not to understand, he hurriedly pointed at Fuling City, "Why withdraw? It will be... captured in less than half an hour!"
"How do I know why I withdraw? The prime minister ordered so..." Xu Chu handed the flag of withdrawal directly to Xu Huang's hand.
This…
Xu Huang clenched his fists, and could not help but fall into great hesitation and confusion.
Xu Chu continued, "The Prime Minister's order was quite firm. General Zhang He has already withdrawn, and Jiangzhou…the Prime Minister has given up. Even if Gongming takes Fuling, it will be useless. I advise Gongming not to disobey the Prime Minister's military order!"
Since Cao Cao sent Xu Chu, Xu Huang knew…this city might not be able to be fought again.
But…but he just couldn't figure it out, why did they…withdraw the troops for no reason?
"Alas…Alas…"
With a long sigh, Xu Huang waved his hand: "Send the order, sound the gong to withdraw the troops!"
The messenger seemed not to understand, and looked at Xu Huang with a blank face.
Xu Huang's voice became colder, "Didn't you hear what this general said?"
"——Sound the gong to withdraw the troops!"
It should be noted that during the siege.
The drum is made of cowhide, and the sound is deep, so…drums are often beaten during the attack to play a motivating role.
The sound of the gong is clear, penetrating, and can be transmitted over a long distance.
When fighting on the battlefield, soldiers can hear it clearly, which is convenient for command.
For a while, the sound of the gong "—— gong gong gong" resounded in Cao's army.
With this sound, the Cao army attacking the city quickly withdrew, just like the tide of the sea, coming fast and retreating fast, but the first soldiers who climbed the tower were silent one by one.
They...
Can they still retreat?
Sure enough, with the removal of the cloud ladder, the first soldiers on the tower had no support, their positions were quickly defeated, their fronts were compressed, and finally... this front cracked a gap, and then infinitely magnified... collapse!
When the last first soldier was thrown off the city wall, countless people on the tower cheered.
Especially Yan Yan, he seemed like a dream...
He was even more incredible.
"——Hold it? Actually...actually held it?"
Looking at Xu Huang below the city, he looked at a loss. He watched the soldiers retreat while watching the guards on the tower being thrown down.
The dust stirred up made Xu Huang feel miserable.
——"I have never fought such a ridiculous battle in my life!"
After reciting this sentence, Xu Huang took the lead, with an angry expression.
"——I am so angry, so angry!"
"I will ask Prime Minister Cao in person why he retreated?"
After all, Xu Huang could not hold back at this moment.
He had never felt so dissatisfied with his lord Cao Cao... before!
——『Absurd! 』
——『Prime Minister Cao is simply ridiculous! 』
Who would have thought.
In just such a battle, a seed of anger, accumulation, but powerful energy has been quietly planted!
…
…
Changsha County... Laodao River, next to Luohanzhuang.
In a black-sailed boat, facing the waves on the river, it swayed gently.
But a "bang" sound was heard inside the black sail...
It was Lu Su who arranged the table of the black sail.
Even though he was very weak, even though he was the Grand Commander of the Eastern Wu, at this moment... Lu Su was extremely excited.
As for the reason...
The words from Guan Lin's mouth, the method and possibility of "breaking Hefei", made the Grand Commander of the Eastern Wu extremely shocked and surprised!
At this moment, his trembling, trembling, and hoarse voice came out from the black-sailed boat.
"You mean... Zhang Wenyuan is not in Hefei City?"
Following Lu Su's voice, Guan Lin's answer was:
"I mean, the Eastern Wu has only this one chance to take Hefei. I, Guan Lin, have said all. Hefei is there, and the nightmare is there. You can break it or not, and take it or not!"
