Chapter 144: The Disaster of Annihilation
Guan Yu's death surprised many people and made many people sigh silently.
Especially Lu Meng, who came over in a hurry, after seeing the two headless corpses, his face was surprisingly bad.
"What about the warrant of the lord?" Lu Meng didn't say anything else for the first time, he first asked for Sun Quan's warrant, and he wanted to know that the lord, the lord who once trusted him so much, would now go over himself and give orders directly to his generals!
However, LΓΌ Meng still did not get any warrant documents from Sun Quan in the end.
Regarding Lu Meng's request, Pan Zhang just told him kindly that the main guild would give him an explanation for this matter.
It wasn't until Pan Zhang and the others left, looking at the two headless corpses that were still bleeding on the ground, Lu Meng also let out a long sigh, and ordered the bodies of Guan Yu's father and son to be collected and buried.
"Brother Yun, you're right, I'm still inferior to you after all!"
So far, Lu Meng can be said to have done everything he has to do, he successfully took half of Jingzhou in Guan Yu's hands without blood, successfully captured Yu Ban and 30,000 Cao troops again, and received the Jingzhou army in Guan Yu's hands almost completely.
He even killed Guan Yu and ended the life of a generation of famous generals, from today onwards, he himself will be a new legendary general, but he just can't be happy.
At this time, there was another person who was as unhappy as Lu Meng, that is, Liu Fu, who was far away in Changsha.
After several twists and turns, before Han Xuan's unlucky youngest son died, they successfully met Han Xuan, the Taishou of Changsha.
However, this meeting was not very smooth for them, not because of anything else, the main reason was that Han Xuan was already old, and he was so old that he couldn't talk about it.
"Sit!" Han Xuan didn't go out, but let his eldest son Han Xiao invite a few people into the mansion, looking at a few young people who were born like the sun, Han Xuan tried hard to sit up, and also trembled and let them sit opposite him.
Han Xuan was really old, and he had to ask his son to help him even with something as simple as kneeling down, but in the end, he insisted on kneeling and straightening his waist.
"It's... Ah Fu? Han Xuan tried his best to widen his old eyes, which had already dimmed, and looked in the direction of Liu Fu, "Ah Fu is back!" β
"Han.... Uncle Han! Before Liu Fu came, he swore that he would definitely point at Han Xuan's nose and angrily scold him for being a despicable villain, and let him tell himself why he wanted to kill his entire family.
But when he really came to Han Xuan, he was still so angry, and he still wanted to scold this old guy angrily, but looking at this face that was so old that he couldn't stand it, Liu Fu suddenly couldn't open his mouth and couldn't scold.
"Ah Fu, are you back to take revenge on the old man?" When Liu Fu was thinking about what to say, Han Xuan pulled the topic over first, "Old man, actually, I have long thought that there will be such a day, and the old man has been waiting, waiting for you!" β
Han Xuan is really old, just saying such a sentence, he is a little out of breath, and his son keeps soothing his back next to him to calm his breath.
Liu Fu has a lot of questions to ask him, but now he doesn't know how to speak, Liu Fu is not an indecisive person, but he really doesn't know how to treat this old man now.
In the end, Han Xiao saw that his father was really uncomfortable, so he opened his mouth and said to Han Xuan.
"Father, what you want to say and what Ah Fu wants to ask, the child also knows, if the father is relieved, the child is willing to answer on behalf of the father, if something is wrong, the father will add it?"
Han Xuan looked at his eldest son, and finally nodded and let Han Xiaodai speak by himself.
After Han Xiao got Han Xuan's approval, he bowed to Liu Fu and the others, "If you have anything you want to ask, you can ask me and wait, Han Xiao will definitely know everything, and he will say everything!" β
Seeing Han Xiao come forward instead of Han Xuan, the awkward feeling in Liu Fu's heart was finally much less.
"Someone told me that when my whole house was wiped out, I saw your younger brother, the second son of the Han family! I want to find out if it's true or not! β
After Han Xuan heard this, his head couldn't help lowering, and his expression became a little gray, Liu Fu didn't need to listen to Han Xiao's answer anymore when he saw Han Xuan's appearance, he already knew the answer.
And Han Xiao didn't intend to deceive them, he nodded directly and admitted, "The second brother was indeed present at the beginning, and it was my father who ordered the city gate that I personally opened for them, and Lu Meng led the second brother to be a guide, in order to raid and destroy the full gate of your Liu Mansion, but I never thought that General Liu Pan had already taken precautions and sent a few of you out!" β
"Why?" Liu Fu's eyes were already red, and his eyes stared at Han Xiao and Han Xuan behind him, "My father has been in retirement for many years, so many years, he has been closed and does not ask about the world, even when Uncle Huang Zhong asked him to go out of the mountain, he refused, for so many years, he has never asked anything about Changsha, never!" β
"I... I know! Before Han Xiao could speak, Han Xuan said in a hoarse voice, "I'm grateful, grateful to your father!" However, he had to die, sorry! β
Looking at Han Xuan, who was gasping for breath, as if he was about to turn his back on his breath at any time, Liu Fu clenched his fists, "You are grateful to my father, but then he has to die, Lord Han Xuan, Han Taishou, is the little nephew too young to understand the words of you people?" β
Han Xuan was anxious to explain, but when he was in a hurry, he was even more out of breath, and he kept coughing, and finally Han Xiaoyi grabbed Han Xuan's hand and said softly, "Father, don't be like this, father, I'll tell you, don't worry!" β
Han Xiao saluted Liu Fu, "Ah Fu, General Liu Pan is a rare good man in the world, the peaceful side that surrounded Changsha back then, not only did Jiangdong dare not enter the Kou, but also Jiangdong who has been beaten repeatedly does not dare to take the lead, this glory, all of us in Changsha remember in our hearts."
Since Ling Zun retired, he has been closed, whether it is his father or General Huang Zhong, or even the king of Hanzhong once asked Ling Zun to go out of the mountain, hoping that he can take charge of the military again, but he refused, I now remember what Ling Zun said, this era is no longer their era, he is willing to make way for others.
This open-mindedness and this spirit make Brother Wei very admired in his heart, but Ling Zun still has to die, just because, his surname is Liu, and his name is Liu Pan! β
Liu Fu glared at Han Xiao viciously, and said coldly, "There are many people surnamed Liu in the world, and there are also many relatives of the Han family, my father was just a slave back then, and he was not even a member of the Han family, so it is more appropriate for you to fool children with this nonsense."
Han Xiao only shook his head indifferently when he saw that Liu Fu didn't believe it, "The point is not whether Ling Zun is a member of the Han family, the point is who Ling Zun is!" Ah Fu, don't forget, you were able to crisscross Jingnan back then, not only because of your father, but also because of your grandfather! β
Liu Fu's clenched fists couldn't help but tremble, his grandfather was Liu Jingsheng, the lord of Jingzhou and one of the eight horses in the world!
"What does this have to do with my grandfather, who died a long time ago!" Liu Fu gritted his teeth and said, his face was still full of disbelief.
"Ah Fu, why should you be like this, your intelligence is no worse than anyone else!" Han Xiao smiled bitterly, "There are three people in the world, except for the King of Wei who coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, who doesn't want a righteous name?" The king of Hanzhong is the uncle of the Han Emperor who His Majesty recognized back then, and Liu Jingzhou had even had the act of entrusting the orphan before, so it is barely justified in this Jingzhou!
But Jiangdong and Jingzhou are feuds, even if the royal majesty is not obvious now, this state and county in the world are not something they can occupy at will, so if they want to take Changsha, the most important thing is not to let Jingzhou, let Changsha have a more suitable person in charge than them! β
"So you killed my father? Just to make way for Koto? Liu Fu sneered, glared at Han Xuan and Han Xiao's father and son, and said disdainfully, "Jiangdong is coming, and you don't want to think about how to defend Changsha, but you are thinking about how to sell land for glory?" Even at the cost of killing my father, you are truly a loyal and good general! β
Listening to Liu Fu's mocking words, Han Xiao's face turned gray, and at the same time, Han Xuan reached out and pulled his son.
"Bring it, by the bedside, letter, bring it!" Han Xuan's intermittent words made Liu Fu and the others hear in a fog, but Han Xiao immediately understood, and quickly ran to the inner room to take a rough little wooden box next to Han Xuan's bed.
It has been many years since they looked at the appearance of this small wooden box, and looking at the smooth and reflective surface, Liu Fu and they could also see that this small wooden box was not less touched by Han Xuan in his hand.
Han Xiao gently opened the wooden box and took out the only thing in it, a cloth that was already a little yellow.
"This, the letter from Lu Meng, you see!" Han Xuan took the cloth and handed it to Liu Fu, explaining it to him intermittently.
This time, Liu Fu understood, stretched out his hand to take the cloth, and then opened it and looked at it carefully.
"Changsha County Shou Han Xuan Cijian: I often hear that the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, now the Liu family is declining, the imperial uncle Liu Bei wants to take over the building in the general, after occupying Yizhou, not only did not return Changsha to Jiangdong, but even tried in vain to start a war with Hanzhong, and occupied Hanzhong to become a great ancestor.
Although this is a clever plan, but it is not the right way, Fancheng Cao Ren is eyeing Jingzhou, and the repeated expeditions make Guan Yu exhausted, and then the Hanzhong battle, not a few years can not win, at this time Jingnan where to go, all in the adult's thoughts.
Although I have heard of the loyalty of the adults, but the name of the benevolence of the adults is even more of our long-term heard, the people of Changsha are the people under the rule of the adults, how innocent they are, they have to suffer such a scourge of swords, my lord Sun Quan has long heard the name of Lord Han Xuan, and only hate to be with him every day.
Now Changsha is under our soldiers, my lord Sun Quan's famous words, if you don't swear to return to the army in Jingnan, if Han Xuan Taishou can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, it should be the luck of my Jiangdong, the luck of Changsha! β
This is a simple letter of persuasion, and even Liu Fu wants to say that the writing is really not good.
But in this way, it is not possible for Liu Fu to have any opinion on this letter, what shocked Liu Fu was that at the end, there was still a small line of words.
"My lord has heard that General Liu Pan, the tiger of Jingzhou, is living in seclusion in Changsha, my lord has a deep feeling for the people of Jingzhou back then, although most of the enemies of Jingzhou died back then, but the name of Liu Pan still makes it difficult for my lord to sleep and eat, if Lord Han Xuan figures it out, he also hopes to open the city gate, so that someone Lu can solve this big trouble for my lord!"
This sentence is red. nakedly showed who wanted to kill Liu Pan.
"Sun Quan is the lord of Jiangdong, Jingzhou Liu surnamed Zhong, Liu Jingzhou died early, passed on the throne to his son Liu Cong, but was taken to Xu Du's home by the King of Wei, and the eldest son Liu Qi was taken away by the King of Hanzhong and brought to Jiangxia, so they both have Jingzhou Liu's roots, and Jingzhou recognizes them more.
But Jiangdong is different, not to mention that Jiangdong does not have any Liu family disciples in his hands, just the great feud between Jiangdong and the Liu family at the beginning will not give them any buffer room, so in the eyes of those people in Jiangdong, if they want to occupy Jingzhou, the best premise is that all the people of the Liu family in Jingzhou are dead! β
Han Xiao's words were very straightforward, he did not deny that their father and son surrendered to Jiangdong back then, but he also made it clear why Lu Meng and the others were put in!
"Just because of a letter, you sent Changsha to Jiangdong, and then gave my father's life to Jiangdong?" Liu Fu still couldn't accept this, he couldn't believe that his father, who was such a famous general, was given to Jiangdong because of such a letter.
"Ah Fu, I understand your feelings, but there is no way to do some things!" Han Xiao's face was bitter, "Why don't our father and son want to keep Changsha, and why don't we want to keep the people of Jiangdong out of the city, but I can't wait!"
At that time, the king of Hanzhong was only Uncle Liu Huang, and in order to be able to fight with the king of Wei in Hanzhong, he brought almost all his net worth with him, not to mention General Huang Hansheng, who had followed him into Sichuan before, that is, Wei Wenchang and others did not stay, and all entered Yizhou.
The huge Jingzhou, the five counties in the hands of General Guan, are only guarded by more than 10,000 soldiers, and the generals, including General Guan's father and son, are only a few people, and Cao Ren is ready to move on Nanjun, General Guan has no time to care about Jingnan, at that time, there are no soldiers and no generals, how do you let me prevent it? β
"But...."Liu Fu still wanted to defend something, but after opening his mouth, he really couldn't find anything suitable to say, so he could only recover his gloomy face.
Han Xiao saw that Liu Fu was no longer silent, so he continued.
"Regarding the matter of Ling Zun, I don't think it was Jiangdong Sun Quan's idea, in this case, once it spreads, his reputation will be too stinky, it should be Lu Meng's own opinion, to never suffer in the future, after all, Ling Zun's prestige in Jiangdong was too strong, and there was such a person, at that time, it was really very unfavorable to Jiangdong."
Liu Fu didn't have any feelings about this sentence, in his opinion, whether it was Sun Quan's order, Lu Meng's execution, or simply Lu Meng's own opinion, it would be difficult for him to avenge this murder of his father.
One is the lord of Jiangdong, the other is the governor of Jiangdong, and in Liu Fu's eyes, both of them are unattainable.
However, just when Liu Fu was ready to give up again, Kuai Meng, who had been silent on the side, suddenly opened his mouth.
"Are Han Gongzi sure that this is Lu Meng's own assertion?"
Han Xiao glanced at Kuaimeng with some surprise, but quickly reacted, "How can I be sure of this kind of thing, it's just that General Liu Pan broke into the great name of Jiangdong at the beginning, but Sun Quan is also a hegemon, if it is really as he said in his heart, it is inevitable that he will have some small belly, which is different from Sun Zhongmou who I know." β
"At the beginning, Lu Meng personally led people to surround Liu Pan's legions, is Han Gongzi sure that Lu Meng did it himself?"
"That's for sure!" Han Xiao nodded solemnly, "I have been waiting in Changsha for many years, not to mention anything else, I still recognize those generals in Jiangdong, and it was a certain city gate that was personally opened to welcome Lu Meng in that night!" β
"In that case, then I don't have anything to ask, I'll take this letter with me!" Kuai Meng smiled slightly, and without waiting for Han Xiao to agree, he stuffed the yellowed letter into his arms.
After that, Kuaimeng directly pulled Li Li out and said to Liu Fu, "I won't care about the rest, but don't worry, no matter what you do, we will buy you enough time!" β
Li Wei didn't speak, but nodded silently, and took out the short knife in his hand directly, this time when he entered the city, he still didn't bring the broadsword he was carrying, only brought a short knife from Wancheng, but for Li Wei, this was enough.
The two of them walked out of the door, closed the door tightly again, and then looked at the servants and guards who had gathered outside, their expressions remained unchanged, especially Li Wei, who didn't even look at them much.
And there was no movement from inside.
After knowing that a quarter of an hour, the door suddenly opened again, and Liu Fu walked out of it with a gloomy face.
"Let's go, an old man in his last years, killing him will fall his father's prestige!" Liu Fu gritted his teeth and said, "Even if you can't kill Lu Meng to avenge your father, a certain family can't do this kind of thing to kill an old man who can't move!" β
After finishing speaking, Liu Fu walked out. And after Li Wei and Kuaimeng also looked at each other and smiled, they followed behind Liu Fu, whether it was the servants or the guards in front of them, for some reason, no one dared to stop them, one by one they got out of the way and let them leave.
It wasn't until they reached the city gate of Changsha and were about to leave that a fast horse chased after them from behind, and Han Xiao's shout also came from behind.
"Ah Fu wait, Ah Fu wait!"
Han Xiao ran to their side and said breathlessly, "Ah Fu, wait a minute, just now in the mansion, there is something I haven't been able to tell you, I hope you don't be too anxious." β
