Chapter 379: Lu Lang surrenders
Chen Wu shouted: "Left and right, drag Huang Zhong out and report to him." ”
Huang Zhong also reprimanded angrily: "I have been following the Marquis of Chu in the southeast for more than 20 years, how can I get your turn to be the general?" ”
Chen Wu was furious and shouted the order: "Quickly push Huang Zhong out and behead him with me, don't disobey my order." ”
Gan Ning stepped forward and said: "Old General Huang is a general that the Marquis of Chu relies on, and I hope to forgive him." ”
Chen Wu shouted: "How dare you say more, mess with my law!" Left and right, hit Gan Ning with a stick. ”
Everyone knelt on the ground and begged for mercy for Huang Zhong: "Huang Zhong's crime is certainly punished, but it is not good for the army." I hope that the general will forgive, and the right to remember the guilt. After breaking Cao, it's not too late to cut it again. ”
Chen Wu's anger has not subsided, and the officials begged bitterly. Chen Wu shouted: "If you don't see the officials pleading for you, you must be beheaded!" Don't die now! ”
Chen Wu's order left and right: "Drag Huang Zhong down and beat a hundred military staff to correct his crime!" ”
The officials begged for mercy again: "Please be gracious to the general!" ”
Chen Wu was so angry that he overturned the desk, retreated from the generals, and shouted: "Hurry up and execute with a cane." ”
Left and right stripped Huang Zhong of his clothes, pressed him to the ground, and beat fifty military staffs. The officials begged Chen Wu again to spare the fifty military sticks. Chen Wu jumped up and pointed at Huang Zhong and said sharply: "Do you still dare to underestimate me!" Send fifty sticks! If there is negligence, both crimes will be punished! ”
For a while, the voice of resentment in the tent was endless, and the officials helped Huang Zhong up, and the fifty military sticks beat him so that his skin and flesh were open, and blood burst out.
Everyone helped him back to Benzhai, and Huang Zhong fainted several times. Those who came to inquire wept over it. Lu Su also went to Huang Zhong's mansion to inquire, and then came to Zhuge Liang's boat, and said to Zhuge Liang: "Today's Zilie angrily reprimands Huang Zhong, we are all his subordinates, and we dare not make a bitter admonition." Mr. is a guest, why do you stand by and don't say a word to save him? ”
Zhuge Liang smiled: "Zi Jing deceived me. ”
Lu Su raised his eyebrows and said: "Since Mr. Su came to Jiangxia, he has not been deceived by each other. Why do you say this today? ”
Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Didn't Zijing know that Zi Lie beat Huang Hansheng today, and it was his plan?" How do you want me to persuade him? ”
Lu Su only understood, Zhuge Liang said: "You don't need to be bitter, how can you hide it from Cao Cao?" Today, Huang Hansheng will be ordered to deceive and surrender, but he will teach him to secretly conniving Zhang Yun to return to report his affairs. It's just that I'm afraid this plan can't hide it from Guo Fengxiao. ”
Lu Su resigned and entered the big tent to see Chen Wu. After Chen Wu invited him into the account, Lu Su asked, "Why did you blame Huang Hansheng today?" ”
Chen Wu asked, "Do the generals complain?" ”
Lu Su nodded: "There are many people who are uneasy. ”
Chen Wu asked, "What does Kong Ming mean?" ”
Lu Su was afraid that Chen Wu would be jealous of Zhuge Liang's intelligence, so he replied: "He also complained about the general's poor affection. ”
Chen Wuxin said that this Zhuge Liang is not so amazing, since he can't see it, then Guo Jia may not be able to see it. Chen Wu told Lu Su: "You must hide it from him this time." ”
Lu Su asked, "Why?" ”
Chen Wu explained: "Beating Huang Zhong today is a plan. If I want him to surrender, I must first use bitter meat tricks to conceal Cao Cao and Guo Jia, and then attack him with fire, and I can win. ”
Lu Su secretly admired Zhuge Liang's foresight, but he didn't dare to say it to Chen Wu.
Huang Zhong was lying in the tent, and all the generals came to inquire. Huang Zhong didn't speak, just sighed for a long time, and suddenly someone reported to the staff officer Lu Ji to ask. Huang Zhong asked him to come to the bedroom and retreated.
Lu Ji asked, "Could it be that the general has a grudge against the general?" ”
Huang Zhong shook his head and said, "Definitely." ”
Lu Ji said: "Then the general's responsibility, is it a bitter plan? ”
Huang Zhong asked in surprise: "How do you know?" ”
Lu Ji said: "A certain Guan Zilie's move has been expected. ”
Huang Zhong said with emotion: "With the grace of the three invitations of the Marquis of Chu, my Huang family has become rich. I, Huang Zhong, have nothing to repay, so I offer this plan to break Cao Cao. Even though I suffer, I have nothing to hate. In my entire army, there is no one who can be a confidant. However, Lu Lang has always been loyal and dares to tell his confidants. ”
Lu Ji asked: "The general sued me, just to ask me to deceive and surrender the book." ”
Huang Zhong asked in a low voice, "That's what you mean." I don't know if I'm willing to do it? ”
Lu Ji readily agreed. He was originally the son of Lu Kang, the Taishou of the late Lujiang River, and before Lu Kang died, he entrusted him and Lu Xun to Han Xuan.
Let's talk about this Lu Ji, he is young and smart, no worse than Lu Xun in the future. When Lu Ji was six years old, he accompanied his father Lu Kang to visit Yuan Shu in Jiujiang, Yuan Shu took out oranges to entertain them, and Lu Ji hid two oranges in his arms.
Before leaving, the oranges rolled to the ground, and Yuan Shu sneered: "Lu Lang came to my house as a guest, do you still want to hide the master's oranges when you leave?" ”
Lu Ji replied: "My mother likes to eat oranges, and I want to take them back to my mother to taste." ”
Yuan Shu was very surprised to see that he knew how to be filial to his mother at a young age. Since then, Jiangdong scholars have called Lu Ji Huai Tang Lu Lang.
Now Lu Ji is in the year of the weak crown, and he has served as a staff officer under Han Xuanjun's account, but he has not made any contributions. He is eloquent and courageous, and he is a good friend with Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong also knew that he was eloquent and courageous, so he wanted him to offer a letter of deception. Lu Ji happily accepted and said: "The eldest husband is in the world, he can't make meritorious contributions, and he is almost rotten with the grass and trees!" General Huang not only sacrificed his life to repay the master, but also did he regret his achievements! ”
Huang Zhong got out of bed and thanked Lu Ji. Lu Ji said: "You can't delay it, just do it now." ”
Huang Zhong said: "I have already repaired it. ”
Lu Ji received the letter of surrender, and only that night he and an old boatman pretended to be the grandson of a fisherman, and drove a small boat to look at the north shore.
This night was full of cold stars, and at the time of the third watch, Lu Ji had already arrived at Cao Jun Water Village. The sergeant of Cao's army patrolling the river took him and reported to Cao Cao overnight. Cao Cao asked, "Could it be a spy?" ”
The sergeant replied: "There is only a pair of fishermen's grandchildren, claiming to be Jiangdong staff officer Lu Ji, and they have confidential matters to meet. ”
Cao Cao taught people to bring Lu Ji to see, and after the sergeant brought Lu Ji to come, he saw the lights and candles on the tent brilliant, Cao Cao leaned on the bed, looked at the young but majestic Lu Ji and asked: "You are the orange Lu Langhu?" ”
Lu Ji bowed his hand and said: "It's just a false name, why do you want to keep a record of Prime Minister Cao?" ”
Cao Cao rolled his eyes to look at Lu Ji, and asked, "Since you are a Jiangdong staff officer, why are you here?" ”
Lu Ji raised his head and sighed: "People say that Cao Cheng is thirsty for talent, but now looking at this question, it is very incompatible." Huang Hansheng, you are thinking about it wrongly! ”
Cao Cao said: "I have been fighting with Jiangdong day and night, and you are here for your private trip, why don't you ask?" ”
Lu Ji looked sorry, and said angrily: "Huang Hansheng is a Jiangdong general, and now he was beaten by Chen Wu for no reason before the generals, and he was very angry. Therefore, I want to surrender to the prime minister, and for the sake of revenge, I will conspire against me. Huang Hansheng and I, friends who are irreversible, came to offer secret books. I don't know if the prime minister is willing to accommodate it? ”
Cao Cao asked, "Where is the book?" ”
Lu Ji took out the letter and presented it, Cao Cao took it and opened it, and watched it under the lamp. It goes something like this:
Loyal to the grace of the Marquis of Chu, it should not be double-minded. However, in terms of today's situation: with the pawn of Jiangdong Weimo, the millions of divisions in the Central Plains are outnumbered, and they are seen in the sea. Jiangdong generals, no wisdom and foolishness, all know that they can't. Chen Wu boy, conceited his ability, wants to use eggs to fight stones; At the same time, he is good at Weifu, and he is punished without guilt, and he is not rewarded for his merits. Loyal to the old ministers, humiliated for no reason, hated it, heard that the prime minister was sincere, humble and nashi, loyal and willing to lead the people to surrender, in order to make meritorious contributions and shame. Grain and grass are offered to the army, and they are offered with the ship. Weep blood and worship white, don't be suspicious.
Cao Cao repeatedly read the book on the table more than ten times, and suddenly slapped the table and glared angrily: "Huang Zhong used a bitter trick to order you to deceive the book, and he took the matter, but he dared to insult me!" ”
Cao Cao taught Lu Ji to be beheaded, and the left and right guards escorted Lu Ji down. Lu Ji's face did not change, and he looked up to the sky and laughed.
Cao Cao was suspicious in his heart and taught the guards to take him back. Cao Cao said: "I have seen through the treacherous scheme, why are you laughing? ”
Lu Ji shook his head and said, "I don't laugh at you." I laughed at Huang Hansheng and didn't know people's ears. ”
Cao Cao asked rhetorically: "Why don't you know people?" ”
Lu Ji said proudly: "Kill and kill, why ask!" ”
Cao Cao snorted coldly: "I have been familiar with military books since I was a child, and I know the way of deceit. Thou shalt hide this from others, how can thou shalt hide it from me! ”
Lu Ji asked, "Which thing in the book do you say is a plan?" ”
Cao Cao smiled: "Look at me to tell me your flaws, teach you to die without complaint!" Since you are sincere in surrendering, how can you not know when you will surrender? What do you have to say now? ”
After hearing this, Lu Ji laughed and said: "You dare to boast of being familiar with military books!" It's not time to collect the troops and go back early! If there is a war, he will be captured by Chen Wu and Zhuge Liang! Uneducated, it's a pity that I succumbed to your hands! ”
Cao Cao suppressed his smile and asked, "What do you mean that I have no learning?" ”
