Chapter 158: Coalition Forces
"In my opinion, in today's situation, we should focus on defense!
And the main thing is to guard against Koto!
Xiakou, where we are located, is the gateway to Koto.
Originally, Sun Quan wanted us to be used as a barrier to block the enemy of Jingzhou for him.
But the last time the major general attacked Wu, he must have changed their minds.
So, now our main threat comes from Koto! β
Wang Rui tried his best to be as concise as possible, and said at a very fast speed.
Fingers tapped lightly on the table, Guan Yu raised his eyebrows, and squinted at Wang Rui.
"Then according to your wishes, we should huddle here and prepare for all beatings?"
"I mean, now Koto will do whatever it takes to take Xiakou.
We should prepare in advance, and we must not send troops, especially not against Jingzhou! Wang Rui hurriedly explained.
He believed that he had explained it so simply and clearly, Guan Yu only needed to understand the meaning. will recognize their own role.
He still has hope for Guan Yu, as long as he gives himself a chance, sooner or later he will become a big thing.
Unfortunately, he was wrong again.
When he said that he must not use troops against Jingzhou, Guan Yu's face changed drastically.
He slapped the table and stood up, and slowly came to Wang Rui, a trace of mockery flashed in his eyes.
"Ping'er said that you have any unique opinions, I thought you could say anything?
Sure enough, it is still the same, and the rats will always be the rats!
I'm Guan Yu's subordinates, and I never raise rats, get out! β
Guan Yu flicked his sleeves, turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait!" Wang Rui's expression was gloomy and he said loudly. "If the general insists on going his own way and is reckless, he will definitely kill himself in the end!"
Wang Rui was angry, as the saying goes, a soldier can be killed, but not humiliated. Guan Yu has repeatedly failed to speak, and now it has intensified.
He knew the consequences of his words, but he would rather die than be insulted like this.
Guan Yu paused, narrowed his eyes and turned to look at Wang Rui.
Guan Ping's face on the side also changed greatly, and he knew that this time it was a big trouble.
He regretted that he had brought Wang Rui here, if Guan Yu really killed him in a fit of rage.
I'm afraid that from now on, there will never be a talented person coming again.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to intercede for Wang Rui, Guan Yu spoke.
"You want to provoke me, and then kill you, and make your name famous? Haha..."
Guan Yu laughed, looking at Wang Rui's eyes full of mockery.
"Ping'er!" Guan Yu walked to the door again and said coldly. "Pass my general's order, and this thing will be heavily punished with twenty military sticks in front of the whole army on the grounds of insulting the officials!"
After speaking, without waiting for Guan Ping to speak, he turned around and left.
Only Guan Ping, who was standing helplessly, and Wang Rui, who was extremely sad and angry, were left in the room...
β¦β¦
Chaisang, inside the General's Palace.
Sun Quan came to the lobby, and a person who had already been standing in the hall hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his hand.
"Meet the Lord!"
The man was burly and dark-skinned. The broad face is lined with beards.
It looks like it's strong and brave.
"Ziming (Lu Meng's word Ziming), please get up quickly!" Sun Quan stepped forward and helped the other party up.
After a few polite greetings, the two sat down.
"Do you know why I transferred you back this time?" As soon as he sat down, Sun Quan smiled and spoke.
"Please let the Lord announce it!"
"Zijing strongly recommends you to take his place!"
Sun Quan's words shocked Lu Meng, and he quickly got up and bowed deeply with his fists again.
"The last general will not dare!"
"I've thought about it, now that Zijing is sick in bed, you will sit in the position of deputy governor!" Sun Quan said softly. "This time I will join forces with Guan Yu to attack Jingzhou, and you will lead the troops to go!"
As he spoke, Sun Quan picked up a square box from the side and came to Lu Meng's side.
Reaching out and handing the box to the other party, he patted his hand and said.
"Ziming, Ziming, I will hand over the seal and the army to you, I hope you will do it yourself!"
Lu Meng understood, he took the seal box and bowed to Sun Quan again.
"Lu Meng will never live up to the trust of his lord!"
Sun Quan smiled and nodded...
β¦
The midday sun was hot like a fire, and even the light breeze brought a heat wave.
Wang Wu walked quickly with a clay pot of water in his hand, and after respectfully greeting several chiefs, he finally returned to his house.
It was a small wooden house with three people living in a small room.
They were all scouts in the army, and they were assigned together, which was their scout's exclusive quarters.
Holding the crockpot, Wang Wu cautiously pushed the door open.
With a "squeak", the door was pushed open.
There are three beds in the small space, and at the moment, on one of the beds, there is a person lying on his stomach.
The man's face was bloodless, and his eyes were closed. The pants behind him were broken, and there were faint traces of dark red blood.
There was another man on the side of the bed, who was taking care of him at this time.
Just as he was about to pour the powder in his hand on the other party's wound, Wang Wu pushed the door and entered.
"Zhou Yi, how is Brother Wang?" Wang Wu looked at the person lying on his stomach and said softly.
The person known as Zhou Yi sighed secretly and shook his head with a wry smile.
"The major general also came here and gave me this." Zhou Yi raised the box containing the medicinal powder in his hand and said. "I said that I was on medicine and rested, and I was fine!
Alas! It's really unreasonable, it's nothing to be like this! In the eyes of these big guys, we're all ass! β
The more Zhou Yi spoke, the more excited he became, so anxious that Wang Wu hurriedly covered his mouth tightly.
"Brother, be careful of the trouble that comes out of your mouth!"
After speaking, Wang Wu also looked around nervously.
"I really don't understand, what Brother Wang is for. Nowadays, what could be more important than life! β
Zhou Yi pushed Wang Wu's hand away, shook his head and sighed.
"What do you know, Brother Wang is different from us. Do you know what it means to be a soldier but not to be disgraced?
Alas, but seeing Brother Wang like this, I'm really worried about our future days!
I knew that I would have dragged him to Jingzhou, and I heard that it was quite good..."
This time, it was Zhou Yi's turn to jump up and cover Wang Wu's mouth.
He whispered in Wang Wu's ear. "If you don't want to die, don't talk about it..."
The person lying on the bed is Wang Rui.
was beaten twenty military sticks in public, and it would be good to be alive.
This is still the result of Guan Ping's secret instructions, otherwise. With Wang Rui's physique, he was beaten to death with two sticks.
However, unexpectedly, in this way, Wang Rui's name was widely spread by the whole army.
With the identity of a scholar, it is a miracle that Guan Yu can survive if he offends him...
At this moment, Guan Yu no longer has the energy to care about this, and the 20,000 elite soldiers led by Zhang Fei have just entered the city.
LΓΌ Meng led a land and water army of more than 30,000 people and hundreds of warships, and came to Xiakou with great momentum.
Thus, after several polite exchanges, the two armies quickly integrated.
After the publication of the document against the thief, which had been prepared long ago, the two armies totaled more than 70,000 men, claiming to be 100,000.
Advancing by land and water, the momentum drove to Jingzhou.
