In the territory of Matun, while Lü Meng led a light boat to the west, on the river leading to Jiangbei, the Jingzhou soldiers also galloped north by boat and marched towards Jiangling.

In the evening, there was silence and darkness on the riverbank, and as far as the eye could see, only the faint water illuminated by the dark moonlight could be observed.

"Whoa."

On the silent river, the crisp sound of the river water is endless, and it has been flowing and ticking.

On the deck of the traveling ship, Guan Ping looked at the river, his face was solemn, and he was speechless, lamenting and thinking deeply.

Ever since the rebellion of Gong'an Shiren, he has been in an extremely unsmooth mood and extremely depressed!

"Alas, if I had known this, I should have decided to return to Gangneung by land and take control of the situation."

"Now the situation is getting more and more difficult!"

Standing on the deck for a long time, Guan Ping was in a low mood and muttered secretly.

This time, it was indeed his mistake.

Originally, according to the original history, Shiren's surrender to the city was only when Lü Meng pulled out the beacon tower along the river, and the troops came to the city in an instant, and he surrendered.

But now, it is because Guan Ping led the crowd to the public security, wanting to enter the city to control the military power first, stabilize the situation, and prevent Shiren from defecting to Soochow as in history.

Who knows, it was self-defeating, which made Shiren fear deep in his heart, causing him to rebel in advance.

At this moment, Guan Ping had not yet arrived in Jiangling, but the public security had already been lost, and he knew that the next battle would become more and more difficult!

After all, the public security was lost, and the eastern gateway of Jiangling was opened, and the Wu army could threaten the city from the Yangtze River at any time, or go ashore to besiege it.

Every time he thinks of this, Guan Ping's heart is not good, he is more and more self-blaming at the moment, and he feels ashamed of his mistakes.

"Alas, it seems that even if we know the trend of history, there are pros and cons!"

After thinking for a moment, Guan Ping groaned secretly and sighed secretly.

Indeed, if he hadn't known that Shiren would move to Soochow in the original history, he would not have chosen to continue to go to the public security, but instead made Shiren afraid and rebelled in advance.

"If you had directly led the crowd to return to Jiangling by land along Huarong Road, and then gradually resolved the public security incident, then I am afraid that the situation would be a lot!"

For a moment, Guan Ping's mind surged and he thought secretly.

"Major General, are you still worried about Shiren's rebellion?"

At this moment, Deng Ai also slowly walked onto the deck, and when he saw Guan Ping, who looked iron-blue, he couldn't help but approach.

"Oh, Shizai."

Hearing this, he turned around and glanced at Deng Ai, and then continued to stare at the surging river without saying a word.

After thinking for a moment, Guan Ping came to his eyes, with a sigh in his eyes, and muttered: "Shizai, you say, am I too anxious this time?" ”

"If Ben had returned to Jiangling first and controlled the overall situation, Xu Shiren would not have defected to Soochow under fear."

At this time, if you think about it carefully, Shiren has long been in contact with Lu Xun, and when he saw the Jingzhou army approaching the city, he was naturally afraid, and he would think that this was Guan Ping's departure to Xingshi to ask for guilt!

Naturally, in a hurry, he directly moved the city to Dongwu.

At this moment, Guan Ping felt that if he had returned to Gangneung first, boiled frogs in warm water, and gradually reduced Shiren's troops, the situation might not have been like this.

Hearing this, Deng Ai pondered carefully from the side, and said half-loudly, comforting: "Actually, young general, don't blame yourself so much!" ”

"Under Yi Ai's observation, when our army first arrived in the city, it didn't take long for Shiren to lead the crowd to appear, and then when he heard the garrison captain's order to let our army into the city, he instantly turned his face and attacked and killed the sergeants who were unwilling to follow him to surrender."

"Shiren acted so decisively this time, and hundreds of elite veterans died out in a short period of time, from this point of view, he really did not rush to rebel, but premeditated!"

"The descendants of the soldiers he ambushed in advance to prevent hundreds of old soldiers had a plan."

When the words fell, Guan Ping listened, his eyes were still locked, and he muttered: "Shizai, you mean that Shiren has not only secretly contacted Dongwu recently?" ”

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Deng Ai definitely replied, so he analyzed: "Major General, from the first time Shiren saw our army, he immediately turned his face and rebelled, this determination is extremely decisive, which proves that Shiren has a ghost in his heart!" ”

"Just imagine, a guard general who has no problems, the young general leads the army forward, how can he act like this?"

"This just shows that a long time ago, Shiren and Soochow secretly reached a certain consensus, colluding with each other, seeking common interests, betraying our army's military intelligence, and so on."

"It's definitely not the recent time that he decided to defect."

After a pause, he continued to explain: "After all, if the conditions were not negotiated, Shiren would not have betrayed our army so decisively, as for what he said, as long as the city was surrendered, he would be appreciated by Sun Quan, become the general of the southern expedition, conquer the address, and then shepherd the party." ”

"According to Ai's opinion, this must be a bargaining chip given to Shiren after Wu Jun decided to attack Jingzhou."

"In fact, I'm afraid that as early as a few months ago, or even a few years ago, Shiren may have colluded with Soochow."

"Since Shiren is willing to collude with Jiangdong, it is definitely not something that can be impressed by the empty check of General Zhengnan, and there must be more attractive interests behind it."

"Secondly, coupled with the fact that he was already at odds with the prince and marquis, and was suspected by the young general, he was embarrassed and went to Dongwu, which is really commonsense!"

"Young General, you don't have to blame yourself anymore, Yi Ai guesses, even if Shiren doesn't defect now, when the Wu army attacks in a big way, he will inevitably sacrifice the city and surrender, this person is a timid mouse, greedy for life and afraid of death, the prince only guards the public security, it is really a mistake."

Muttering a word, Deng Ai slowly analyzed, and listened to Guan Ping from the side, although he did not fully agree with his statement, but most of the arguments, he still believed it!

"When I was young, I still remember that when the king of Hanzhong was stationed in Fancheng, Shiren relied on his strong qualifications to act wantonly, plundering the army, robbing the people's rations, not only that, but also abusing his power on a large scale, forming gangs in the army, looting people's wealth, and ruining the reputation of the Han king."

"If it weren't for the fear that the king of Hanzhong would kill him, it would lead to a bad reputation in the outside world, and rumors spread that he killed a senior veteran, I'm afraid that Shiren would have already fallen to the ground, which is also the reason why my father will not wait to see Shiren from now on."

"It's just that although his father doesn't want to see him, he still lets him guard one side, which can be regarded as being benevolent to him, but when it comes to the end, he not only does not repent, but instead intensifies and defects to Soochow."

"It can also be seen from this that Shiren is indeed selfish and has a very poor character, and it is the most wrong move for his father to reuse him."

For a while, Guan Ping slowly recalled the past and muttered.

After finishing speaking, he stopped talking, and looked carefully at the direction of Jiangbei, the cold wind blew on his robe, blowing whirring, staring for a long time.

After half a ring, Guan Ping seemed to think of something, his face changed instantly, he faced Deng Ai from the side, and chuckled: "Shizai, I just thought about a plan on the spot, as long as I plan properly, I will definitely be able to find out the many anti-bones buried in our army." ”

As soon as the words came out, his eyes couldn't help but brighten up instantly, and then the words also rose loudly.

Hearing this, Deng Ai was stunned, so he arched his hand and said, "Young General, what is the policy?" ”
