Chapter 11: Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas

Lu Chang bent his back, as if he was ten years old, he led the way in front, and Zhao Hao rode a high-headed horse, slowly following behind. Lu Luan helped his grandfather's stumbling grandfather, only to feel that he was about to pass out after being roasted by the scorching summer sun. She looked at Zhao Hao with resentful eyes, just met Zhao Hao's kind and innocent smile, couldn't help gritting her teeth, and said secretly: "I must find a way to kill this guy and avenge Bo Liang!" ”

Thinking about it, her bright eyes couldn't stop flowing.

Tens of thousands of people in Xiangyang City saw Zhao Hao riding into the city alone, and they all looked at him in fear through the crack in the door, and although the group of soldiers and generals were all fully armed, they also retreated as if they were being dressed in tuōguāng under Zhao Hao's warm gaze, for fear of being pierced by this man-eating monster.

Lu Chang invited Zhao Hao into the mansion, asked Zhao Hao to sit down, and sighed: "Lu is really old. The little general has a good way of governing the army, and he will be a famous general in the world one day, but Lu Mou can't see that day. ”

Zhao Hao smiled humbly and said: "Where, Duke Lu is a famous minister of my Han Dynasty, the king of Hanzhong often says that Duke Lu is brave and strategic, and he is the pillar of my Han Dynasty, but it is a pity that he has not been able to have much contact in Jingzhou back then-this matter has always been a great regret of the king of Hanzhong." With Lu Gong guarding the city, General Guan did not dare to attack, so General Guan Yinping volunteered, saying that Lu Gong was a righteous man of the Han Dynasty and was forced to be a thief, and he would definitely not stop the Han Dynasty, so we brought 30,000 prisoners to Xiangyang to visit Lu Gong. General Liu Feng of Shangyong City has always admired the name of Duke Lü, and now he is traveling day and night, and he will arrive in the city soon. ”

Zhao Hao said that the siege of the city was a visit, which made Lu Chang's face very face-saving. He is a native of Nanyang, Jingzhou, before the Battle of Chibi, he saw that Liu Biao had gone to follow Cao Cao, and he has been mixed until now, listening to Zhao Hao say that Liu Bei praised his reputation, he couldn't help but smile, and gently stroked a few inches of gray beard.

He also heard Zhao Hao say that Liu Feng had sent troops, and the idea of surrendering in his heart had prevailed - although Xiangyang City was high, this kid had a lot of soldiers, and there were powerful siege weapons, plus the support of Liu Feng's troops who came later, it was better to talk about the conditions than to be killed in the city.

Zhao Hao saw that Lu Chang took the bait, and hit the railway while it was hot: "When Lu Gong followed Cao Cao, Cao Cao sent troops in the name of the prime minister of the Han Dynasty in the name of the imperial court. But now, more than ten years later, what has Cao Cao done? ”

Lu Chang glared at Zhao Hao, and said in his heart that this kid is so eloquent, Guan Yu actually has such a capable person under his tent, no wonder he can achieve such results. This kid is a long year of weak crowns, but he wants to be the same age as Luan'er, if he marries Luan'er......

He was nominally Hanchen, not his Cao Cao's general. Liu Bei's banner is the king of Hanzhong, which has more legal basis than Cao Cao, the king with a different surname. He was only worried that if he voted for Liu Bei, the glory and wealth in Xiangyang would become a thing of the past in a blink of an eye - at least this Xiangyang is too guarded, and Liu Bei will not let him continue to do it.

Lu Chang was silent for a while, and sighed: "Back then, Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, and he also adhered to the ancestral motto of 'not being crowned king with a different surname', and only became a Duke of An Han, Meng De is good, he is not a Duke of Wei, but now he is the King of Wei." Hey, even Xun Lingjun can't persuade him, the old man is soft-spoken, and he is restrained by Cao Ren, he is really helpless! ”

Zhao Hao never mentioned Lu Chang's defeat today, just to give him a step down. Listening to him loosen his mouth a little and call Cao Cao "Mengde", I knew that it was time to talk about the conditions.

He knows too well the mentality of this kind of old cadre, and what they are obsessed with is the little power in their hands.

He showed a sincere smile and said, "The little nephew has a reluctant request, and I also ask Gong Lu for permission." ”

"Little general, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"We brought troops to take over Xiangyang this time, but I am afraid that Xiangyang's fathers and elders will be afraid when they see the sword soldiers, General Guan's meaning is to find an old and serious person to continue to serve as Xiangyang Taishou - not afraid of your jokes, General Guan is arrogant, and Mi Fang, Pan Jun, Hao Pu The relationship with several generals is not very good, General Liu Feng will return to Shangyong in the near future, we want to ask Lu Gong to work tirelessly, continue to serve as this Xiangyang Taishou after we enter the city, and support our Northern Expedition!"

Lu Chang's breathing began to become heavy.

And this good thing? This kid has 30,000 strong soldiers and terrifying siege weapons, and he is still willing to let himself be the Taishou of Xiangyang? Hey, yes, I have worked hard all these years, and I already have a great reputation, no matter who enters the city, for the sake of stability, it also depends on the thin noodles of our Lu family.

Thinking of this, the tension on Lu Chang's face swept away, he sat up straight, and said with a smile: "The old man is old, the little general is sharp, and the old man can only open the city and surrender for the sake of those children in the family, I just hope to be a farmer in the future, this is too thrilling, but I can't do it!" ”

Zhao Hao pretended to be shocked, quickly bowed to the ground, and said sincerely: "This Xiangyang City is indestructible under the management of Duke Lu, if the little nephew was not forced by General Guan, he would not dare to forcibly attack the city if he had the courage!" In addition to you, who can run this strong city, even if you don't look at the face of the king of Hanzhong, you have to look at the face of tens of thousands of fathers and elders in Xiangyang to continue to stay! ”

Lu Chang was ready to be threatened by Zhao Hao, but he didn't expect that although Zhao Hao was eloquent, he had such little courage. But what he said is also that even if Guan Yu breaks through Xiangyang, he doesn't dare to do anything to their Lu family, otherwise this Xiangyang will make trouble, and he will have to do his best to quell the chaos, how can he have any energy for the Northern Expedition?

"Okay, since the king of Hanzhong can afford to be old, the old man will reluctantly make it difficult and continue to stay. In the future, General Guan will be the pastor of Jingzhou, and the old man will also listen to his account. ”

Zhao Hao secretly scolded the old thing in his heart, but his face became more and more respectful and pious.

He grabbed Lu Chang and bragged fiercely, and boasted that Lu Chang was rare in the sky, Lu Chang laughed proudly, personally sent Zhao Hao out of the city, and said with a smile: "It's getting late today, and when the virtuous nephew enters the city tomorrow, I will have a good time with the virtuous nephew." ”

Zhao Hao Shi Ran left Xiangyang City, and Lu Luan walked out faintly, sighing: "Weng Weng, are you really going to surrender this kid?" ”

Lu Chang Lu Luan's face was bitter, and he said weakly: "Liu Bei is the uncle of the Han Emperor, and I am Han Chen, how can I say that I surrender or not?" ”

Lu Luan ignored his grandfather's sophistry and said word by word: "Weng Weng, you are really dazzled by that kid. He is just a Qu chief, how can he grant an official position on behalf of Liu Bei? Taking a step back, even if Liu Bei really intends to let Guan Yu be the pastor of Jingzhou and give up the position of Xiangyang Taishou to you, but Jingzhou's governance office will not leave Xiangyang, with Guan Yu's temper, can Weng Weng really live in peace with him under him? ”

Lu Chang was up and down in his heart, and he didn't know how to justify, so he simply hummed: "The junior's opinion, the junior's opinion......"

Old cadres like to blame others for their own faults, and Lu Chang is no exception. He said in his heart that if this granddaughter hadn't come up with an idea and misled Lao Tzu to attack, Lao Tzu would have evenly distributed 10,000 people on Xiangyang City, and it would be enough to talk to Guan Yu about the conditions for surrender.

He flicked his sleeves and was about to turn to leave, when he suddenly felt a chill behind him, and two long handfuls of cold qiāng were just against his throat.

"You, don't you dare!"

Lu Chang was shocked and angry, and a middle-aged man with a gloomy face gradually walked out of the dark shadow, who was looking sad and angry, glaring at him viciously.

"Kuai Wu, do you dare to commit it?"

Lu saw someone coming, and his heart suddenly became cold, and he retreated again and again, but the two soldiers holding qiāng followed suit, and the two qiāng edges were tightly pressed against his throat.

Kuai Wu is Kuaiyang's biological father. Of course, Lu Chang knew that he would not give up, and he still wanted to stabilize him and wait for Zhao Hao to lead the army into the city. In this troubled era, no one has ever died a few people, and the Kuai family is also a member of Jingzhou, and they will never risk being killed by the whole family because of the death of a clansman.

Lu Chang never expected that Kuai Wu would jump over the wall in a hurry, and directly lead the dead man to find him, he turned his head and looked at Lu Luan with an incredible face, only to see that Lu Luan's resentful eyes also happened to meet him, and said: "Weng Weng, Luan'er is also for your good." It is not yet at the end of the mountain, why should you surrender lightly. Please also give an order, organize troops to ambush on both sides of the city gate, kill him, you are the first hero of the King of Wei! ”

"Luan'er!" Lu Chang was angry and annoyed, and said, "You actually helped outsiders to deal with your grandfather!" You ...... You unfilial brute! ”

"Grandfather, I'm sure you'll understand my struggle."

With tears in his eyes, Lu Luan waved his hand vigorously and said, "Uncle Kuai, please go and send a letter to Guan Yinping, just say that there is a rebellion in the city, please Guan Yinping quickly send someone into the city to suppress it!" When he entered the city, he immediately fired ten thousand arrows to kill him, the thief army was arrogant, and he was definitely unprepared, I took it upon myself to kill that guy to avenge Bo Liang! ”

Thinking of the tired appearance of Zhao Hao's hippie smiling face, Lu Luan felt another panic in his heart for no reason.

However, Kuai Wu had always admired Lu Luan's idea, and hugged his fists and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it myself...... Mrs. Lu guards this side, and I will leave it to you. ”
