Chapter 480: What is Loyalty?
"Huang Quan?" Shi Yue heard this name and thought of this person. It is said that at that time, Liu Datou was defeated, the army was defeated, and many Shu generals and soldiers surrendered to the Wu army. Huang Quan happens to be one of them.
"Pan Junru said the same thing before." Shi Yue brought up the past again.
Li Hui: "These two things should not be confused. Huang Quan was surrendered as a last resort, not what he wanted. Now our country's soldiers and horses are here, threatening Wu State. It's the timing, and my letters, and my kind words of persuasion. He will return. Li Hui is full of confidence, and he was persuaded to defeat before, which seems to have damaged his face.
The truth is this, Shi Yue: "Go and try it." "Zhang Bao, you are the vanguard of the army, go to Jiujiang first, although Li Hui goes with him."
The two took the order and left.
Jiujiang
That year, there were not only Huang Quan who were defeated and surrendered to the enemy, but also a different number of generals. Among them, there are two generals named Du Lu and Liu Ning, and these two people also happen to be in this city.
"Brother Liu, have you heard? Buqi Chaisang was defeated and retreated to the sea. Now that the Shu army is going to capture Yuzhang, the next destination may be here. Du Lu and Liu Ningyan.
Liu Ning was worried, "How is this good, if we are caught, we will definitely die." ”
Du Lu smirked: "Eh, although this is a crisis, it is also an opportunity. Back then, Wu was forced to do so. Now is a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions. We can contact ...... secretly," Du Lu said not so much.
Liu Ning: "This? Can it be done? ”
Du Lu: "The commander is the general Pan Feng, and the general is benevolent, so it can be done." ”
Liu Ning thought about it again, "Huang Quan is also here, why don't you ask him for his opinion?" Let him take the initiative ......"
"Don't." Du Lu blocked him, "We don't know him well, and we don't know him." If he doesn't want to, but instead exposes the two of us, then it will be dangerous. ”
Liu Ning: "What I said is what I said, what I said was ......"
As they were walking, both of them entered the exchange.
At this time, Huang Quan and all Wu generals in the hall were discussing how to retreat from the enemy.
General Wu said: "What if you come, I will lead the troops to ambush them secretly and repel them!" ”
The words were refuted: "Bu Qi and General Ding Feng are not victorious, what is the use of you going, in my opinion, defend the city and wait for reinforcements." ”
"No, this city is difficult to defend, it doesn't take many days, in the face of the Shu army, it will be broken, and staying here is to sit and wait to die. In my opinion, it is better to abandon the city and retreat to the sea dusk. ”
Huang Quan saw the crowd arguing endlessly, and said: "Everyone listens to me, now that the country is in crisis, and if you lose a city, the enemy will go further." The national crisis is one point deeper. No city or place should be abandoned. ”
Everyone was silent when they heard this, and suddenly one person said: "Huang Quan, you were originally a general of Yizhou, and now that the Shu army is here, how do we know that you didn't deliberately face them, wait for them to break through, and then return to China." ”
Wu Jiangchen listened to it and thought about it carefully.
Huang Quan: "I have received the grace of King Wu, and in the land of Wu, I will do my best and will not surrender." ”
……
After deliberation, they chose to hold on without fighting. Liu Ning and Du Lu left and talked. "Is what Huang Quan said true or false? He's really not going back? Liu Ning was puzzled.
Du Luyan: "I don't know, the situation at that time, that kind of words, whether it is true or false. In short, the first strike is the strongest, we will contact the Shulai army first. ”
Zhang Bao and Li Hui marched to Jiujiang City.
On the way, he rushed out and presented a letter to make his intentions clear.
Li Hui: "Hand it over." ”
Li Hui took the letter and read it, and couldn't help but be happy, "I know that there must be such people." ”
Zhang Bao: "What's wrong?" ”
Li Hui: "First of all, congratulations to the general on his victory!" Liu Ning and Du Lu, two old generals of our country, wrote a letter and returned to the army, and they were willing to help them internally. ”
Zhang Bao was impressed when she heard the name, "Oh, I know the two of them, they fought with me that year." But what if it's fake? ”
"This can be assured, let the two of them open the city at night to show the truth." Li Hui explained, "Besides, I still have to talk to Shuhuang Quan to persuade him to surrender." Not bad for two. ”
Zhang Bao: "Troublesome, it's better for us to attack the city directly." ”
"That's not good, you can take it yourself, how can you damage the soldiers. Our army does not have many troops, and the general must not mess around. Li Hui reminded.
When Zhang Bao heard this, he remembered the general's solemn reminder before leaving, cherish the soldiers, and don't attack and fight indiscriminately. "Let's do what Li Gong said first."
Li Hui asked the fine works to bring the book back to Liu Ning and Du Lu, and to bring the book to Huang Quan.
Jiujiang City
Huang Quan received the letter, and found that it was the Shu army that came to persuade him to surrender, and said: "The general rebelled against my lord, and the first emperor is not to blame." Knowing that you are not willing, but is a last resort. The first emperor once said in his life that he couldn't live with you. Your family is in the country, and you still enjoy the position of general. Now that our army has attacked, I hope that the general will return to his homeland. ”
Huang Quan couldn't help crying when he saw it.
And Liu Ning and Du Lu were overjoyed when they received Li Hui's reply.
"Naruya! I know. Du Lu said: "When the time comes, we will kill the city defenders and steal the city gate, and at that time we will break through this place, which can be said to be a meritorious return." ”
Not far outside the city, the Shu army waited in the village
"The general is here!" Li Hui was overjoyed and came to report Zhang Bao.
Zhang Bao has been waiting for a long time, going back and forth, if he attacks the city for himself, maybe it will be broken early. "What? And what? ”
Li Hui said: "General Huang Quan came to write and was willing to return." Listen to the command. And Du Lu and Liu Ning have already agreed on a time to open the city to welcome in. ”
"I'll just wait for this! Which day! Zhang Bao was overjoyed and finally decided.
Li Hui considered other circumstances and said in a deep voice: "General, don't worry. I'm waiting, when the time comes, I'll go back to the book. ”
"Is there an end?" Zhang Bao said unhappily.
……
Stay until the agreed date, that night
Liu Ning and Du Lu are the guards of the city tonight, and they received a new reply this morning, which said that Huang Quan had also surrendered.
"Huang Quan has indeed surrendered, as expected." Du Lu said lightly, after all, there is a precedent for this kind of thing.
Liu Ning: "However, we are the first to act, and it is we who will open the city tonight." ”
Du Lu: "That's the work of the two of us, but there's no need to share." ”
While he was talking, Huang Quan walked up to the city.
"Someone is coming." Du Lu reminded.
Huang Quan walked over and asked softly, "Is it open tonight?" ”
Liu Ning: "What did the general say?" Are we just here to stay here? ”
Huang Quan looked into the distance, and suddenly said, "People are here." ”
The two looked at each other, and a team of men and horses came in the dark, leading Zhang Bao and Li Hui, until the city, and were discovered by Wu Jun.
Wu Bing panicked, "General, the enemy is coming!" ”
Du Lu said to Liu Ning: "Go to Kaecheng!" Fast! ”
"Wow!" The cold light flashed, and Du Lu's head fell to the ground.
Liu Ning was stunned by the scene in front of him, and stood still, "Huang ...... Huang Quan...... You"
Under the city
Zhang Bao asked Li Hui: "Will the city be opened tonight?" ”
Li Huisu looked at it and said lightly: "Wait and see." ”
Not long after, two corpses were thrown from the city, which were Du Lu and Liu Ning.
Huang Quan stood at the head of the wall, looked down at the Shu army below, and shouted: "I am favored by Lord Wu to defend the city to the death, and I will never make the previous mistake again!" ”
Li Hui sighed: "Tonight, it won't be opened." ”
Li Hui deliberately asked Xizuo to send the book back to Huang Quan and Liu Ning today, and both sides of the book have surrendered. Li Hui knows that Huang Quan is a person, so this loyal and righteous person will be lowered again? So judge by Liu Ning and the others. If the city is opened together, it will be true. That was wrong in judging him as a human being. If it is false, one of them will die. Huang Quan learned that the two were guarding the city tonight, so he had a guess and rushed over. When they saw that the two of them were going to open the city, they could judge and kill them immediately.
Villains can be discarded, and loyal ministers are hard to find.
