Chapter 330: The Battle Before the Battle

Papapa, pa, pa......" Lu Xin stroked his palms and smiled, and said: "The virtuous nephew knows the subtleties, if the eldest brother can know about your growth, he can rest in peace under the Nine Springs." ”

When Fu Tong heard Lu Xin's words, he hurriedly bowed: "Uncle has praised it, if it weren't for my uncle's cultivation and assistance for so many years, I wouldn't have my nephew today, and my nephew has thanked my uncle for his great kindness!" ”

Lu Xin stepped forward and pulled Fu Tong up and said, "Virtuous nephew is polite, this is also your own ability, otherwise even if I help you more, you will not grow to the point where you are now." Seeing this, the virtuous nephew must have guessed my intention to come to Yuancheng, right? I don't know what the virtuous nephew thinks? Can you wait for the opening of the city? ”

Fu Tong is loyal by nature, which can also be seen from history, Fu Tong was a general of Jingxiang at the beginning, although he later attached himself to Liu Bei, but at that time Liu Biao was already dead, Liu Bei was under the banner of Liu Qi, so Fu Tong surrendered to Liu Bei There is no problem, and there is no negative righteousness.

After Fu Tong joined Liu Bei, he has been following Liu Bei to fight in the south and the north, in the first year of Zhang Wu, he was appointed as a guard of the Chinese army, and after that, Fu Tong followed Liu Bei to crusade against Eastern Wu, but Liu Bei's army was burned by Lu Xun, and countless soldiers and horses turned into a torch, Fu Tong retreated to protect Liu Bei, personally led the army to break off, and finally died of exhaustion and vomiting blood.

It can be seen that Fu Tong's loyalty is the foundation!

Now Fu Tong is still a general in Jingzhou, and has been reused by Jin Xuan, so that he led the army to guard the former county rule Linyuan City, if he is allowed to surrender out of the city like this, Fu Tong is really a little unbearable in his heart, but if he does not listen to Lu Xin's words, he will be suspected of treachery; After all, he had received great favor from Lu Xin before, and now that Lu Xin came to the door, if he didn't do his best to help, he would be too unkind!

Fu Tong pondered for a moment and said, "Uncle followed the Yue Hou army here, presumably he has already joined the command of Yue Hou?" ”

Lu Xin nodded and said: "That's true, the four thousand soldiers and horses outside the city are the army of Yue Yun, the general under the command of Yue Hou, and my Yuanling City has raised troops to surrender, and now the grain and grass in General Yue's army are still taken from the treasury of my Yuanling City." ”

Fu Tong nodded slightly, and said: "Uncle and father have entered the city, if the nephew does not open the city to surrender, it is really a disgrace to the uncle, but after all, the golden envoy has the grace of knowing me, if I surrender like this, it will be too disloyal!" He also asked his uncle to go out of the city to tell General Yue, and his nephew was willing to fight with him in front of the city, if General Yue could defeat his nephew, then the nephew was not as good as others, and he voluntarily opened the city to surrender; But if the nephew is slightly better, then ask General Yue to garrison outside the city, and after I tell Gongzi Wei about this, then Gongzi will make a decision! ”

Seeing Fu Tong's resolute expression, Lu Xin also knew where Fu Tong's bottom line was at this time, and he also knew that Fu Tong was a person who was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and like his father, once he made a decision, he would not change it easily.

Seeing this, Lu Xin didn't continue to say more, after all, Fu Tong was able not to defend the city, but chose to go out of the city and fight with Yue Yun, which already gave him a lot of face, if he continued to force Fu Tong to open the city and surrender, it would inevitably be suspected of coercing him to repay the favor, so even if it succeeded, it would hurt the relationship between him and Fu Tong.

Fu Tong is one of Lu Xin's most optimistic juniors, this is the talisman he found for the Lu family, and he naturally doesn't want to do anything that hurts Fu Tong's feelings. Moreover, Fu Tong went out of the city to fight with Yue Yun, which is inevitably not a good thing, so that Yue Yun can also take a look at the ability of his own nephew, so that Yue Yun will not underestimate himself because he easily opened the city and surrendered.

Moreover, even if Fu Tong did not surrender, the army would not be able to capture Linyuan City for the time being.

Lu Xin was also confident that even if he and Yue Yun's army bypassed Linyuan City and did not take it, Fu Tong would not lead the army to copy the back path of himself and others, so he could also go to Hanshou City first to say that Gong Zhi would descend. As long as Hanshou City is taken, Fu Tong can come to surrender with only a piece of paper, and this can also increase Fu Tong's prestige and reputation.

Lu Xin smiled slightly, and said: "Since the virtuous nephew already has an idea, then I will go to tell General Yue before, I know that you are excellent in martial arts, but General Yue is also excellent in martial arts and has the courage of ten thousand people, if you go out of the city to face the battle, you must be careful!" ”

Fu Tong saw that Lu Xin was not embarrassed for himself, and he felt even more guilty in his heart, and hurriedly bowed: "My nephew is not filial, let my uncle bother, and I hope that my uncle will not be angry with my nephew!" ”

Lu Xin laughed and said: "Virtuous nephew thinks too much, you and I are a family, how can I be angry with you, besides, you can have your own ideas, it's too late for me to be happy, how can I be angry with you?" Don't think about it too much, let's prepare for war, I'll go out of the city to report to General Yue! ”

"No, my nephew will send you out of town!"

Fu Tong personally sent Lu Xin out of the city, and then climbed the city wall to watch the formation of Yue Yun's army, and see if Yue Yun would come to fight with him.

……

When Yue Yun saw Lu Xin coming out of the city, he hurriedly beat his horse to greet him, and said, "Lu Gong, I don't know what the situation in the city is?" ”

Lu Xin pretended to be ashamed, smiled bitterly, and said: "I'm ashamed, the guard general of Linyuan City is Fu Tong, the son of my friend, this person is loyal and righteous, although I have tried my best to persuade him, but he is still unwilling to go out of the city and surrender, please don't blame the general!" ”

When Yue Yun heard Lu Xin's words, he frowned slightly, and said secretly in his heart: Linyuan City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if you wave your army to storm the city, these four thousand soldiers and horses don't know how much they will lose, if so, I'm afraid it will be unfavorable for you to take Wuling County!

Lu Xin saw Yue Yun's expression change, so he continued: "Fortunately, the old man still has some face, although Fu Tong is unwilling to go out of the city to surrender, but he is willing to go out of the city to fight with the general, if the general wins, naturally needless to say, Fu Tong will open the city and surrender; But if the general misses for a while, he must no longer use troops against Linyuan City! ”

"But the general can rest assured, even if Fu Tong does not go out of the city to surrender, we can also go around the city, the old man guarantees that Fu Tong will not go out of the city to attack us and other back roads, as long as you reach the city of Hanshou, the old man can also say that Gong Zhi will surrender and take Hanshou City for the general!"

When Yue Yun heard Lu Xin's words, he was immediately overjoyed, he had never been afraid of fighting generals before the battle, as long as Fu Tong dared to go out of the city to face the battle, Yue Yun would have the certainty of defeating Fu Tong!

Yue Yun laughed and said, "This matter is up to Duke Lao Lu, as long as Fu Tong is willing to go out of the city to fight, I will definitely defeat him and take Linyuan City!" Lu Gong rest assured, I know that he is the son of Lu Gong's friend, and I will not hurt him! Please wait a while, I went to fight with Fu Tong before! ”

"Come on, beat the drums, challenge the !!"
