Chapter 419 Lu Meng Was Sold



Chapter 419 Lu Meng Was Sold
Just as Sun Quan finished speaking, he suddenly heard a report from the general Jia Hua outside the door: "My lord, it's not good. According to the report from the spies, Liu He led the army from Jiangxia to Lujiang, and the vanguard was only fifty miles away from us. the journey..."

"What? This Liu He, is it really necessary to kill them all?" After hearing Jia Hua's words, Sun Quan couldn't help being shocked and said in a voiceless voice.

At this time, Zhang Zhao stepped forward and said, "My lord, what should we do now? Liu He's army is so powerful that it is far beyond our ability to resist. In my opinion, we might as well escape. If it's really too late, lord Compromise and be patient for the time being, surrender to him, as long as we can reach Jiangdong safely, we no longer need to be afraid, after all, Lieutenant General Liu Hejun is not good at water warfare, and there is nothing he can do when we arrive at Jiangdong."

"Mr. Zhang, how can you say such a thing?" Hearing Zhang Zhao's words, Sun Quan's Lu Meng couldn't help shouting: "The bandits are coming, we should fight with all our strength. Serve the country with death, but also cover the lord to return to Jiangdong calmly, now you let the lord pay the price of humiliation in exchange for the safety of everyone here, it is really not the behavior of a minister, it is contemptible."

When Zhang Zhao heard this, his face turned green with anger, and he pointed at Lu Meng and said, "How dare you speak to me like that, you really have the guts, let alone you, even your brother-in-law, Deng Dang, didn't do that back then. Dare to say this to me, not to mention that I say this not for myself, but for the safety of the lord. You said you have to fight hard, but let me ask you, why do you resist? Just rely on the strength of the troops in the city ? Even if you resist desperately, even if you die, you can protect the safety of workers?"

"Enough!" Watching Zhang Zhao and Lu Meng quarreling, Sun Quan suddenly felt annoyed for no reason, and shouted loudly: "Anyway, fleeing without fighting is not my style. If I really do this, don't I want to Let the people of the world laugh at me? Send me an order, and the whole city's soldiers will go to the top of the city to fight the enemy to the death. There is such a case of surrender!"

After Sun Quan finished speaking, he drew out the sword at his waist and cut off a corner of the table in front of him, which made Zhang Zhao tremble in fright.

"No!" Seeing that Sun Quan followed his advice, Lu Meng was immediately excited and agreed loudly. Then he glanced at Zhang Zhao proudly and prepared to defend the city.

When Lu Meng left, Sun Quan glanced at Zhang Zhao again, his face gradually softened, and finally he explained with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, you should know that I have just taken over as the Lord of Jiangdong for a short time now, and I am not on the same page. The people are not yet convinced, and Shanyue is also very noisy. In this case, if I surrender to Liu He directly, I guess I will never be able to gain a foothold in Jiangdong, so I must guard this Lujiang River, even if I can’t. You must also return to Jiangdong decently, this is the art of the emperor, and I have to do it for you."

Zhang Zhao's complexion was ugly at first, but after hearing Sun Quan's explanation, he could only choose to forgive, and said to Sun Quan: "The lower officials also understand this point, but my lord has to be careful, don't set yourself on fire. Since Liu He was able to capture Huang Gai alive and kill Han Dang this time, it proves that he has gathered enough strength, and it is by no means that we can resist the enemy. In fact, according to yesterday's strength, we should have enough strength to guard Lujiang. However, my lord insisted on transferring the most elite Tai Shici and General Zhou Tai's sergeants to Changsha overnight. This caused a serious shortage of our troops in Lujiang. Once the enemy cuts off our food supply, I'm afraid we even want to retreat It's impossible..."

"It seems that nothing can be hidden from Mr. Zhang..." Sun Quan sighed, and said slowly: "Actually, after Huang Gai was defeated, I knew that Jiangxia would not be able to keep it. Under such circumstances, it is meaningless to defend Lujiang. Now, it is better to use these two counties, especially Lujiang, as bait to cause Liu He and Cao Cao to compete, so as to ensure the temporary safety of Jiangdong, and as long as we capture the three counties of Jingnan, Jiaozhou and Nanjun during this period, The territory of Liu He will not be much worse than that of Liu He. At that time, we will enter Shuzhong again, so that we can rule the river with Liu He and divide the world. This is actually the strategic intention proposed by Gong Jin to me, but We can't be too obvious, everything must appear natural so that others can't see through it, and in order to achieve this goal, sometimes it is worth making some necessary sacrifices."

"I don't know what the lord's sacrifice means?" Zhang Zhao asked suspiciously.

Sun Quan smiled wryly and said: "In fact, Lu Meng is a very brave general. However, after all, he is young, has a reckless personality, and is not calm enough. It is not easy to cultivate an outstanding general in a short period of time. Yes, veteran generals like Cheng Pu, Zhou Yu, Ling Cao, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, and Dong Xi are all experienced fighters, even young generals like Chen Wu, Xu Sheng, Quan Cong, and Zhu Huan are more stable than him It is relatively labor-saving to train, but it is a pity that Huang Gai was captured and Han Dang was killed, otherwise these two people will also bring me a lot of help in calming Jiangdong."

Hearing what Sun Quan said, Zhang Zhao understood that Sun Quan wanted to "give" Lujiang City to Liu He by sacrificing Lu Meng, in order to obtain a temporary reconciliation with Liu He, and then provoke Liu He to compete with Cao Cao for Jiangxia peace. In the two counties of Lujiang, I took advantage of Liu Bei and Liu He's competition for Xiangfan and Bajun to attack Liu Bei, and obtained the vast territory of Nanjun, Jingnan and Jiaozhou, and realized my plan to divide the world into two.

Zhang Zhao, who had figured it all out, couldn't help but secretly rejoiced, thinking triumphantly, "Boy Lu Meng, you deserve it, who made you be so disrespectful to me? And before that, you proposed such a bad idea of ​​letting Sun Ce's daughter marry Guan Yu's son. You kid is still too tender."

At this time, Lu Meng's reputation and ability were not obvious, and the story of Sun Quan's persuasion to learn did not happen, and his life trajectory was very different from history. In history, Sun Ce was still alive at this time, and he should have been in Jian'an for five years Died, and at that time Lu Meng was already a Sima of another department, and was appointed by Sun Ce on the recommendation of Zhang Zhao, but now Zhang Zhao is respected by Sun Quan as an old minister of Gu Ming, how could he pay attention to such an ordinary Lu Meng? Marquis of the pro-barracks?In addition, Lv Meng has always regarded himself as brave, and even the general Jia Hua didn't pay much attention to him, so he was squeezed out by Jia Hua many times, and naturally he would not be reused.

In addition, Lu Meng violated the taboo in order to express himself, and even proposed the idea of ​​letting Sun Quan marry Sun Ce's daughter to Guan Yu, which made Sun Quan even more dissatisfied, so he chose to "give" Lujiang to Liu He by sacrificing Lu Meng. Strategy.

Afterwards, Sun Quan encouraged Lu Meng to stick to the city on the one hand, but on the other hand, he led Zhang Zhao, Jia Hua and others to quietly evacuate Jiangxia from the waterway...

Not only Liu He, but also Lu Meng didn't know what Sun Quan had done. It wasn't until Liu He's army came to the city and asked the hospital to attack the city that Lu Meng discovered that there was no one else in the city except himself. The general was guarding, and his heart suddenly became cold. He was frustrated and wanted to commit suicide, but Liu He's general Huang Zu shot an arrow into his arm. The sword fell to the ground. When he wanted to pick up the sword with another hand and committed suicide , but Chen Dao rushed up and captured him alive.
