Chapter 131: Counterattack: Crossing the River in White Clothes

Zhang Shiping's name, Lu Meng has naturally heard of it, it is not only a wealthy businessman in Zhongshan, but also a famous horse dealer in the world... The war horse merchant is Liu Bei's great benefactor, and it can be said that Liu Bei was able to start a business almost entirely thanks to the help of him and Su Shuang.

It's just that such a businessman who has a great kindness to Liu Bei has slowly disappeared into the world, and the reason is that he made the wrong bet.

At that time, both wealthy businessmen and families were betting on their favorites, hoping that they could bring them different gains.

The most famous thing is that the Zhen family bet on Yuan Shao in Hebei, but it was given to the second son Yuan Xi, and the Hedong Wei family directly bet all their net worth on Cao Mengde, and Liu Bei is also valued by others, that is, these two wealthy businessmen in Zhongshan, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping.

It's just that these two people are more special, the Zhen family's investment failed, not to mention the second son of Yuan, that is, the Yuan family is gone, and in the end, they still relied on their beauty to catch the Cao family's chariot, but even so, the Zhen family is also declining more and more, which is the consequence of failure.

Compared with the Zhen family, the Wei family who invested in the Cao family can be said to be prosperous, not to mention others, offended the first-class Wei family of Confucianism and celebrities, not only did not damage their reputation, but grew stronger and stronger, and now it can barely be regarded as a first-class family, and Wei Guan in the younger generation has begun to emerge, and it is said that he is also inextricably linked with the Sima family.

These two are both a success and a failure, both of which belong to the normal category, but Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang are not normal.

Liu Bei, who they are optimistic about, is undoubtedly successful now, not to mention winning the entire Yizhou, but also defeating the prestige of the Cao clan in the Central Plains in Hanzhong, and Guan Yu, the second battlefield in Jingzhou, is also thriving, which makes people dare not look directly, but these have nothing to do with the two of them!

Because someone stole their limelight, that is the first wealthy family in Xuzhou, the Mi family.

A wealthy family with a net worth of hundreds of millions, there are 10,000 servants in the family and the clan alone, and the servants are not 10,000 subordinates, but 10,000 soldiers who can become an army with 10,000 armor, and this strength is the greatest confidence that Liu Bei dared to take Xuzhou back then.

The rest of Chen Deng, Chen Qun and the two of them are just icing on the cake!

After hearing the name "Zhang Shiping", Lu Meng, the governor of Jiangdong, couldn't help but nodded, when he reached his position, a lot of secrets were no longer secrets, and he was still very clear about the grievances and grievances between Zhang Shiping and Liu Bei.

"Where is Zhang Shiping?"

"People are already in Jingzhou!" Lu Xun smiled slightly, "Since you want to cooperate with him, then you naturally have to prepare in advance for these things to open up trade routes, Zhang Shiping is already doing some shady transactions, and he is naturally very clear about the things of setting up cards along the road." ”

"Are you sure?" Lu Meng was still a little uneasy, "Jingzhou is not Youzhou, and Guan Yu is not the same people from Youzhou at the beginning, don't capsize the boat here!" ”

"Don't worry, if you are not completely sure, the last general will not dare to find this person!" Lu Xun gave him a guarantee with great certainty.

When Lu Meng heard this, he couldn't continue to say anything, just nodded and kept admonishing; Lu Xun must be careful in everything.

Time is passing, and the Jiangdong Army is also proceeding in an orderly manner, one after another military orders are being issued, and the generals are replying one by one, Lu Meng actually feels that there are things that cannot be dealt with for a while, but even so, he still feels that it is not enough.

Jingzhou is important to Liu Bei, and even more important to Jiangdong, like Zhuge Liang, Jiangdong has also had a military advisor, and there has also been a "couch strategy".

At that time, Sun Quan, the lord of Jiangdong, asked Lu Su for advice, and Lu Su offered the "couch strategy", which was almost the same essentials and outline as Longzhongce, occupying Jiangdong, taking Jingzhou, and then uniting with Yizhou Liu, all the way out of Yangzhou to fight Hefei, all the way out of Jingzhou to break Xiangfan, and then Yizhou out of Hanzhong, counterattacking the Central Plains and fighting the world again.

So in this case, the ownership of Jingzhou is particularly important, if Liu Bei of Yizhou takes Jingzhou, then you can go south to Jiangdong anytime and anywhere, and the naval armies of Jingzhou and Yizhou can directly cross the river, making Jiangdong at a loss.

And in the same way, if Jiangdong takes Jingzhou, it can add a stable barrier to his base camp, and from then on, whoever wants to invade Jiangdong must first attack Jingzhou itself, and then fight the Yangtze River, so that Yizhou will not dare to be presumptuous to him.

It can be said that whoever takes Jingzhou will be able to occupy the leading position of the alliance, so Liu Bei will not give up Jingzhou, and Jiangdong will not give up.

Since Liu Bei entered Sichuan, for so many years, whether it is Lu Meng, Lu Su, or Sun Quan, the lord of Jiangdong, the idea of fighting Jingzhou has not been a day or two, but the lonely and arrogant Guan Yu is so difficult that they have no way to start.

For the sake of a Jingzhou, Cao Ren was about to lose the counties under his command, Lu Su was also dragged to death, and Lu Meng finally took down three counties, not to mention, he had to obediently send one back.

Whenever LΓΌ Meng remembered that he had sent Lingling County and its county guard Hao Pu back to Guan Yu in Jingzhou, his heart was full of anger.

Now, he has finally waited for a second chance, this time he will not give Guan Yu the slightest chance, and will leave him on the land of Jingzhou completely.

September in Jingzhou has begun to cool, and after the autumn harvest, it is also the time when the soldiers are full of food, and LΓΌ Meng at this time finally ushered in the order of the lord Sun Quan.

"Order Jiangdong Governor LΓΌ Meng to be the front, and the lord Sun Quan personally led the army as a backup, attacked Jingzhou, and joined forces with the King of Wei to defeat Guan Yu!"

"The last general commands!" Lu Meng received the order loudly, took Sun Quan's warrant, and then turned to the generals under his command and ordered.

"Generals obey orders!" "The last general!"

"Xu Xiang, where is Hu Zong!" The first to point out are the two leaders of the Liberation Army, who are the key to this time.

"The last general!" Hu Zong is brave, Xu Xiang is elegant, these two young people are the hope of Jiangdong.

"The two of you led the army to Jingzhou with the governor of Bendu, and you must take all the beacon towers along the way!"

"No!"

"Where is Lu Xun?" Next is Jiangdong's real rising star, Sun Ce's son-in-law Lu Xun.

"The end will be here." Lu Xun is a young man, I don't know when it started, the young people in Jiangdong have slowly grown up.

"You lead the generals to hold the camp, wait for my news, once the governor of Pontus succeeds, he will immediately lead the army to attack and enter Jiangling as soon as possible!"

"No!"

Lu Meng looked around again, and then continued to point.

"Where is Pan Zhang?"

"The last general!"

"Er is the deputy general, be an assistant to Boyan, don't make more trouble!"

Pan Zhang is also a veteran, and he is still Sun Quan's favorite general, even Lu Meng will be more tolerant of him, so as not to make Sun Quan dissatisfied, but at this time, it is different from the past, not to mention anything else, if Jingzhou fails for a while, then Lu Meng will have no future.

So he gave the order directly, and at the same time warned everyone to be honest, if someone wants something bad, before he dies, he must drag this guy to die together!

"The last general understands!" Pan Zhang can get Sun Quan's love, not only because he can fight habitually, but also because he has a set of behavior, he knows when to be reckless, because recklessness makes people feel harmless, but when, you must not be reckless, because it is called stupid.

After that, Lu Meng inspected the military camp again, and after explaining everything he could think of, he took 800 trouble-solving troops and 200,000 selected warriors to board the caravan brought by Zhang Shiping.

Jingzhou has a lot of water, in addition to the Han River that flooded before, there are also various tributaries not far from Guan Yu's current station, but in general, the whole Jingzhou is a criss-crossing water network.

And Guan Yu's important town Jiangling, that is, Nanjun, is next to the waterway, and because of this, Guan Yu set up a beacon tower every dozens of miles on the bank of the river, and this road can be described as a beacon fire everywhere and heavily guarded.

"Guan Yun is so big!" When Lu Meng saw this, he couldn't help but sigh, "Although Wuling has not belonged to Jiangdong, it is also full of barbarians, so he can't fully control it, just with a Lingling and a general, he actually raised tens of thousands of troops, not to mention, there is also a beacon tower along the way, a good Guan Yunchang!" ”

Xu Xiang and Hu Zong behind them were also shocked, what they saw and heard along the way, so that the two of them couldn't help but sigh that Jingzhou was rich, and the two places of Guiyang and Changsha that they recaptured from Jiangdong were like poor and remote places, Changsha was acceptable, and Guiyang and even the people were not fully civilized.

"Don't be envious of the governor, soon, this great Jingzhou will be the land of my Jiangdong, and at that time, the lord will definitely reward the general!" Hu Zong is a reckless man, he only thinks that this time they have calculated or not, and with a lot of preparation, they will definitely be able to take Jingzhou in one fell swoop.

"General Tohu is right, but now is not the time to say that." Lu Meng did not admit or even smile at all, and from the moment he stepped into the warship, he entered the state and thought about this surprise battle with all his heart.

"Governor!" A soldier ran in, "Just in front of me to deliver the message, we have entered the ground of Gangneung, and the first beacon tower is in front!" ”

"What about Zhang Shiping? What's wrong with him? ”

"Back to the governor, Mr. Zhang said that I will hide it later, and he will enter the beacon tower later, and then it will be the time for me to go to war!"

Lu Meng nodded, this is also a plan they have made a long time ago, Zhang Shiping has indeed cleared all the checkpoints and turned a blind eye to what he is doing, but it is still necessary to do a general inspection, which also gives Lu Meng an opportunity.

Soon, the merchant ship entered the inland river and came to the beacon tower, and Zhang Shiping, the owner of the caravan, walked down with enough money to meet the Jingzhou army who came to "check".

"Boss Zhang's business is really prosperous, in the past two months, your merchant ships have been coming and going." The person who guards this beacon tower is just a chief, but he is very happy to see Zhang Shiping, because he knows that this person will bring him enough money to make his life richer.

"Haha, isn't this a light from your lords!" Zhang Shiping looked like he was smiling, and he stretched out his hand and sent the money bag that had been prepared to Shi Chang's hand.

Shi Chang casually took this hand, and knew that the number was not bad, so he also smiled slightly, and waved his hand casually, "Go to a few people, check it!" ”

Soon the five smiling soldiers walked over to the docked merchant ship, which, as was customary, had their benefits.

However, after they got on the boat with a smile on their faces, what they got was extremely sharp knives, and a few ordinary Jingzhou soldiers did not even have a chance to struggle in front of the Jiangdong Liberation Army, so they were solved, and then the five Liberation Army quickly changed into their clothes and walked down with their heads down.

"How's it going?" Shi Chang said this to Zhang Shiping on the side, and asked the soldiers who got off the boat, "No problem." ”

"Hahaha, isn't it possible that the general still wants to find out what the problem is?" Zhang Shiping laughed loudly to attract Shi Chang's attention, and at the same time, the soldiers also walked to his side.

"Where, where..." Shi Chang wanted to say a few words, but before he finished speaking, he saw a bright light, and then someone covered his mouth, and at the same time, the two soldiers beside him also suffered the same treatment and were directly killed.

The rest was only the soldier guarding the beacon fire at the top, which was not a problem for them, Zhang Shiping suddenly shouted, "General, what's wrong with you, general?" ”

The panicked voice immediately attracted the soldiers above, and just as he rushed down to determine what was happening, the anticipation army that had been waiting for him directly stabbed him in the heart, and then covered his mouth and didn't let him make any movement.

At this point, all the soldiers of the entire beacon tower have been solved, but the beacon fire on the beacon tower has no chance to ignite, and Lu Meng and the others, who have been waiting for the result, finally breathed a big sigh of relief.

Although the process was a little thrilling, the result was still satisfactory, and the army quickly cleaned up the battlefield, hid all the corpses, and returned to the merchant ship, continuing to drive to a beacon below.

"Why is it a little late this time?" Although Zhang Shiping's appearance also made the people here very happy, they still had some doubts about Zhang Shiping coming so late.

"I'm talking about the general." Zhang Shiping shouted to the general when he saw people, and brought this eight-sided exquisite temperament to the extreme, "It's wartime now, and it's not so easy to get some good things." ”

Saying this, it was the same money bag that was sent to Shi Chang's hand.

A reasonable explanation, a heavy enough money bag, instantly made the chief forget all the problems and become smiling.

"Go check it out, hurry up!" Shi Chang took the money bag back into his arms and said with a smile, "Move fast, don't delay Boss Zhang's fortune!" ”

"Haha, thank you general, thank you general!" Zhang Shiping thanked him and greeted this Shi Chang, while on the merchant ship, he repeated the previous actions.

Killing, changing clothes, then raiding, killing again, changing clothes again, repeating almost the same technique as before, killing the soldiers of the second beacon clean.

"Go on," Lu Meng looked at the faster and faster killing of the trouble-relieving army, and rarely showed a smile, "If only the rest can go so smoothly." ”

Maybe God is on his side, there is really no danger along the way, each beacon tower was uprooted by Lu Meng and Zhang Shiping with almost the same method, one by one, every time it is a money bag to open the way, every time it is a quick killing.

"Whew!" The soldiers on the last beacon tower were finally killed, and looking at the public security city in the distance, Lu Meng finally let out a sigh, "Jiangling is going to fall into my Jiangdong bag." ”

"Congratulations to the Governor, opening up territory for Jiangdong!"

"Congratulations to the Governor!"

A group of people bowed to Lu Meng, and they followed Lu Meng to do such things, which can be described as honorable!

"Don't be too happy, there is Gong'an City behind, Jiangling, and the entire Nanjun, the entire Lingling, and even Guan Yu's army!"

"I'm willing to follow the Governor!"

"Command Lu Xun, the army will attack!" Lu Meng gave an order and completely started Jiangdong's conquest of Jingzhou, "Generals, follow me to the public security!" ”

"No!"

Under the public security city, the Jingzhou army, which should have been waiting for the battle, was fighting under the city at this time, and at the front of them was the guard of the public security, Fu Shiren!

The merchant ship went down the river and soon came to the outside of the public security city, looking at the Jingzhou army that was waiting for the battle, Xu Xiang and Hu Zong both clenched the blades in their hands and were ready to fight at any time.

"Don't panic!" Lu Meng waved his hand and reassured the generals, "Dock, get off the boat!" ”

Lu Meng gave an order, the Jiangdong army slowly walked ashore, Xu Xiang and Hu Zong took their own guards to get off the boat and stand in front of the front to prevent Fu Shiren from raiding, but Lu Meng led the rest of the Jiangdong soldiers to get off the ship and line up in formation, and Fu Shiren did not make any moves.

"Governor!" Xu Xiang saw Lu Meng who came forward, and said worriedly, "That Fu Shiren is a veteran of Youzhou, so be careful of deception!" ”

Lu Meng smiled and patted Xu Xiang's shoulder, "Don't worry, don't worry!" ”

After finishing speaking, he walked straight to the middle of the two armies, and said to Fu Shiren, "General, don't come unharmed!" ”

"Thanks to the Governor's concern, eat well, sleep well, and be in good health!"

"Haha, that's good, so Pontus Governor can rest assured, he is in good health, and he can enjoy the glory and wealth behind."

"Chengdu Governor Jiyan!" Fu Shiren laughed, then turned sideways, "Please enter the city!" ”

"No!" Hu Zong also rushed up at this time, and the big knife stopped in front of him, "This person is Liu Bei's confidant, the governor must not be, be careful of deception!" ”

"That's right, Governor." Xu Xiang also ran over with his soldiers, "The governor is an important minister of Jiangdong, you must not be in danger, if there is anything, let the last general do it for you." ”

Fu Shiren looked at the two of them, and suddenly laughed, "Didn't the governor tell them?" ”

"I haven't taken care of it yet."

"In that case..."Fu Shiren sneered and fell directly to his knees, "Shiren has seen the governor!" ”
