Chapter 119: Exchanging Cities for Sons (Part 3)

"Squeak, squeak."

The order was passed down, and the heavy public security gate was opened.

"Erlangmen, rush into the city with Ben and take control of the city."

At this moment, Gan Ning in the battle was holding a halberd in his hand, and the master of art was bold, so he led the troops of the headquarters first, and entered the city to investigate!

Although they all firmly believed that Shiren's surrender was true, it was a matter of vital importance to the lives of the whole army, and Lu Meng and Lu Xun did not dare to underestimate the enemy.

Therefore, the city had just been opened, and Gan Ning understood its meaning and went to explore the road first.

Waiting for half a ring, Gan Ning was alone, standing at the city gate with a halberd, and said loudly: "Governor, enter the city!" ”

With a loud shout, Lu Meng saw Gan Ning with a confident expression, and knew that he had ruled out the problem of ambush in the city, so he no longer hesitated, and waved his gun: "The whole army, enter the city." ”

The order was issued, and Xu Sheng, Pan Zhang, Zhu Ran and others would do their best to enter the headquarters step by step.

At this moment, seeing that the Wu army had entered in a big way, Shiren immediately rushed down to the city and stood at the city gate to respond.

At this moment, he has already opened the city and returned to Shun, and the only thing he can do now is to curry favor with Lu Meng and Lu Xun, so that they can recommend their own merits to Sun Quan.

Half a sound, far away, Lu Meng and Lu Xun walked towards him, Shiren hurriedly piled up a smile, stepped forward, and arched his hand: "Descend to Shiren to see the Metropolitan Governor, General Lu." ”

"Gong'an City is a barrier to Jiangling, and I hope that General Lu can abide by the agreement and affirm the merits of the last general to Marquis Wu."

As soon as the words fell, Lu Xun's face changed, knowing that Shiren still had a use for himself at this moment, so he smiled and said, "General Shi, please rest assured, Xun will naturally not break his word." ”

"After this battle, when you return to Beijing, Xun asked Marquis Wu to add an official to General Shi to become a knight, so as to correct your dedication to the city."

He said this very solemnly, and his expression was revealed, as if he was deeply affectionate.

However, Shiren is also nearly fifty years old, and he has experienced a wealth of human feelings and sophistication, so how could he be deceived by these words, so as soon as his voice fell, he arched his hand and said: "The Governor, the last general has moved the city to defect as promised, and I hope that the Governor can keep his promise." ”

Hearing this, Lu Mengleng paused, and before he could think of it for a while, Lu Xun reminded him softly from the side, and then reacted instantly, and laughed: "Of course, of course!" ”

"General Shi is a meritorious hero of our army, and we naturally can't treat them badly."

"Lingzi, the governor of Pontus has already brought it."

As the words fell, the spear was raised, and more than a hundred sergeants behind him escorted a young man about twenty or five years old, with tattered armor between his body and extremely messy sideburns.

After a moment, the young man immediately wept with joy and shouted excitedly, "Father, father. ”

Hearing this, Shiren's originally dead cheeks changed drastically, as if he had regained his vitality, his eyes turned, and he said in a loud voice: "Jun'er." ”

Immediately, Shiren was excited, but he ran directly over and hugged his son, and couldn't help but cry, and said sadly: "Fortunately, Jun'er, you are fine, otherwise how can you let your father live alone." ”

Shijun is Shiren's only son, and it is precisely because he has only one son, so from childhood to adulthood, he will be extremely pampered, and he is naturally extremely concerned about his safety.

It's just that as early as half a year ago, his son went out to play with the heirs of a number of wealthy families in the city, but he didn't know moderation and unfortunately went deep into the territory of Soochow, and then he was seized.

Later, after learning that Shijun was actually the son of Shiren, LΓΌ Meng reported to Sun Quan and reported the matter.

Therefore, as early as half a year ago, Shiren had an intersection with Jiangdong in private, and had been negotiating until the outbreak of the Xiangfan War, Guan Yu led the main force to the north, and LΓΌ Meng planned to attack Jingzhou.

asked Lu Xun to contact Shiren, let him secretly wait for the opportunity, and then at the critical moment, the city went to the city.

Otherwise, with Shiren's qualifications, how could he easily surrender until he was forced to do so?

In fact, the so-called discord with Guan Yu and jealousy of his high position were actually just an opportunity for Shiren to defect to the Wu army, and the real flashpoint was that his only son was captured and had no choice but to surrender the city.

After all, Shiren is now over fifty years old, but he only has one son, how can he bear the pain of losing a child?

Previously, Shiren confidently confided in Guan Ping that as long as he moved the city to Shun, he would be able to be like a fish in water in the Soochow camp and be crowned a general.

These are just Shiren's last shreds of face in order to cover up the fact that his son was captured.

After all, he is a dignified public security guard, but he can't even take care of his own son, and when he is rumored to be out, how will outsiders talk about it?

If you can't even look at people, how can you defend a city?

This is bound to be criticized by outsiders.

Seeing Shiren's father and son hugging each other and crying, Lu Meng's face was indifferent, and he ordered the guard: "When he is in a good mood, I will order him to go to the public security mansion." ”

"No."

The order was passed down, and Lu Meng ordered Lu Xun to take over the army and command the generals to enter the city, while he himself was alone and left quickly!

For a while, Lu Xun and the generals were all puzzled and suspicious.

"Governor, why did you leave in such a hurry?"

However, this thought was only fleeting, and the generals did not care.

It took half a ring of time, the Wu army finally entered the city, Lu Xun ordered the division of troops to garrison the arsenal and grain depot, arranged the garrison sergeants, continued to stabilize the city's defense and security, and repeatedly ordered that it was strictly forbidden to loot the people, and those who violated the order were beheaded.

For a while, the public security city was calm again, as if nothing had happened!

Liang Jiu, Public Security Office, lobby.

"General Lu, the last general has arrived, I don't know if the governor has something important?"

Hurriedly walking into the mansion, Shiren didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately bowed and said.

Hearing this, Lu Xun, who was in the main position, saw this, so he chuckled: "General Shi, don't be so formal!" ”

"You are a great hero of our army, hurry up and sit down."

"Now that the Metropolitan Governor has not yet come, I will wait for a while."

Seeing that Lu Xun was so gracious, Shiren was confused, but the matter had come to this point, he had to go to a few places on the side and kneel on the futon.

After waiting for about half an hour, Lu Meng was dressed in a military uniform, with a calm expression, and walked into the mansion with high steps.

Every step he takes, he shows his domineering posture.

It's just that Lu Xun's heart sank, but he found the clue, Lu Meng's face was vaguely pale and weak, as if he couldn't help it.

"Governor, what's going on?"

Thinking of Lu Meng's pretending to be nothing, Lu Xun knew that Shiren was now beside him, and it was inconvenient to ask carefully, so he got up quietly and arched his hand: "Governor, please sit down." ”

After the words fell, Lu Xun stepped down the steps, walked to a desk, knelt on the futon, waited for Lu Meng to sit in the main seat, and waited for him to speak.

After a half-loud groan, Lu Meng's face loosened, and he chuckled: "General Shi, you are stationed in the public security, have you ever found that a few days ago, Guan Ping led the people up the river, passed through the public security city, and went to Jiangling?" ”

Hearing this, Shiren thought for a moment and muttered, "Governor, two days ago, Guan Ping did lead about 5,000 soldiers to the city, intending to enter the city and control the city. ”

"At that time, he was already suspicious of the last general, but fortunately, I took the opportunity to eliminate the stubborn Jingzhou soldiers in the city by surprise and forbade Guan Ping to enter the city."

"This is how to keep the public security, otherwise, I am afraid that the last general will already become a headless corpse today, and it is impossible for the metropolitan governor to take this important town without blood."

After a pause, Shiren said again: "It's just that Guan Ping can't enter the city, and he didn't continue to go up the river and return to Jiangling. ”

"He didn't go back to Gangneung, so where did he go?"

When the words fell, before Lu Meng could speak, Lu Xun on the side asked eagerly.

ps: There are two more shifts in the evening.
