The sky was already white, and the soft morning light was gently sprinkled. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

40,000 main forces on the ship, through the Chaofei Canal - Feishui upstream, the remaining 10,000 along the river, the army by land and water, through the Dongguan, into the Chaohu Lake, along the water, water and land two straight to Hefei.

Sun Quan came ashore and saw that the Jiangdong Army battalion was hanging a free battle card, although the camp was strict and the walls were tight, but the soldiers were generally listless and demoralized.

Seeing this situation, Sun Quan couldn't help frowning and sulking, his face was full of frost, his eyes were flickering, and he turned a blind eye to Zhu Ran, Xu Sheng, Han Dang, Ding Feng, Jiang Qin and other generals who were kneeling on both sides.

Sun Quan flicked his red cloak, snorted coldly, and strode into the marshal hall from the Lu Meng flagship parked by the river.

Sun Quan sat in front of the couch, staring at Lu Meng who was lying on the sick collapse and moaning, his face was blue, his face was like frost, his blue eyes were cold, and he was full of pity, listening to the sound of the slowly flowing river waves, he was angry and pitiful, and his mood was very complicated.

Lü Meng was a native of Runan, and when he was a teenager, he crossed the Jiangdong to rely on his brother-in-law Deng Dang, and said with courage that Deng Dang was Sun Ce's general. After Deng Dang's death, Lü Meng brought a beautiful woman with a lot of money to beg Zhang Zhao and worship Zhang Zhao as his teacher, but Zhang Zhao couldn't stand Lü Meng's soft grinding and hard bubbles, so he reluctantly accepted it and recommended Sun Ce as Sima of other departments. However, due to the fact that he was not reused by Sun Ce, Lu Meng had a grudge against Sun Ce, and at Zhang Zhao's suggestion, he took the initiative to take refuge in Sun Quan, who had a noble appearance of "Fang Yi with a big mouth, blue eyes and purple hair, a burly body, a peculiar appearance and an extraordinary skeleton".

Lu Meng was born poor, but he was arrogant and dreamed of doing a great career, so he cultivated a deep heart, able to speak well, sloppy and patter, good at figuring out, and doing what he liked.

After Sun Ce's tragic death, Sun Quan took over the power of Jiangdong, and the first thing he did was to reorganize the army, eliminate dissidents, install cronies, and firmly control the military power. Sensing the crisis, Lü Meng was in a hurry to find ways to raise supplies on credit, put the soldiers in crimson uniforms and leggings, and stepped up the training of the soldiers. When Sun Quan inspected, Lü Meng's soldiers and horses were "displayed impressively, and the soldiers practiced", Sun Quan was overjoyed, thinking that he had managed the army well, and not only did not reduce his troops, but increased the number of soldiers for Lü Meng.

Lu Meng's family was poor and lonely, illiterate, and under the persuasion of Sun Quan, he began to read more history books and military books, and his knowledge gradually expanded. He was deeply admired by Lu Su and called him "knowledgeable and knowledgeable, not Fuwu Ameng". The allusions to "Wuxia Amun" and "Shibei three days, should be impressed" come from this.

Lü Meng personally planned and executed the top-secret operation arranged by Sun Quan, and made the first contribution to Sun Quan's seizure of power in Jiangdong. Lu Meng is very scheming, the best way to understand Sun Quan's intentions, to vote for Sun Quan's favor, to implement it to the letter, and to get the best results, so he has become the most trusted confidant of Sun Quan. The two have a deep relationship, use each other, rely on each other, and are like brothers, similar to Liu Guanzhang.

Sun Quan's heart was tumbling at the moment, and he couldn't calm down for a long time, thinking silently about his thoughts.

Hefei soldiers are outnumbered, the basic defenders of the city are county soldiers, the number of garrisons around the echo to assist in the defense is small, and the city wall is not as tall and firm as Jiangling City, compared to Jingzhou, it is relatively easy to break. Out of selfishness, Sun Quan sent his confidant Lü Meng to carry out this task, and he brought more soldiers than Lu Xun, originally wanting Lü Meng to take the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, so that he could take over the post of governor of the capital in the future.

It stands to reason that for Lu Meng, a famous general who once defeated Cao Ren, capturing the small city of Hefei should be an easy task. However, the result was very different from Lu Xun's, which greatly surprised Sun Quan. The soldiers were defeated, with more than 5,000 casualties, and Lu Meng and Zhou Tai were seriously injured, and they paid a heavy price but could not advance an inch.

On the other hand, Lu Xun, although he led 10,000 fewer troops than Lu Meng, he anticipated the enemy's opportunity and saw through Zhuge Liang's empty city plan, if it were not for Gan Ning and Pan Zhang's disobedience to the order, there would be almost no loss.

Lu Meng suffered this defeat, not only lost his own people, but also slapped Sun Quan with a powerful slap, making Sun Quan lose face and throw people home, because the decision was made by Sun Quan himself.

Thinking of this, Sun Quan angrily cast a hateful gaze at Lu Meng.

These days, Lu Meng was tormented by back pain, thinking about how to explain to Sun Quan all day long, so that he couldn't sleep at night and was in a trance. I just finally fell asleep in a daze, but I had a nightmare, dreaming that Sun Quan was chased and killed by a fierce white-fronted tiger, and he hurriedly sacrificed his life to save it, but he was pressed under the tiger, and opened his bloody mouth ......, which frightened Lu Meng and screamed fiercely, trembling all over, and broke out in a cold sweat.

Sun Quan was caught off guard, startled by Lu Meng's screams, his body shook, and he almost fell to the ground, he couldn't help but be extremely annoyed, and stared at Lu Meng angrily.

Lu Meng was so frightened that his mind was a little blurred, and he slowly opened his tearful eyes, only to know that he had a nightmare. He let out a long sigh of relief, his hanging heart had just settled down a little, and through the hazy tears, he found that there were a pair of big green eyes staring at him in front of him, with a hideous face.

"There really are tigers, help!" Lu Meng thought that it was the tiger that came to the front, and he was so shocked that his liver and gall were torn and his hair stood on end, and he screamed violently, and the instinct to survive made him suddenly roll over and roll to the ground, and now he could only use rolling, because he could no longer stand upright.

Sun Quan, who was concentrating on visiting Lu Meng, was frightened by Lu Meng's sudden screams and movements, and was about to get angry, but when he saw Lu Meng's appearance, he seemed to be having a nightmare, and shouted instead: "Zi Ming is panicking, I am Sun Quan!" ”

Hearing the familiar and majestic voice, Lu Meng was like a lightning strike, and finally came to his senses, he concentrated on it, and saw that Sun Quan, the master who was not angry and arrogant, couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly climbed and rolled, endured the severe pain and bowed, threw himself to the ground, shed tears, and screamed: "Lord, Lu Meng didn't know that the lord came to inspect, and he was seriously injured, so he couldn't go to the camp to greet him. The ministers deserve death, and I hope that the lord will forgive the sins! ”

"Let's be flat." Sun Quan looked at Lu Meng, who had messy hair and lost his soul, and he didn't have a good breath.

"Don't dare!" Lu Meng was prostrate on the floor, trembling with excitement, and did not dare to get up.

"Forgive you for your innocence! Get up, what a rambling thing! Sun Quan muttered impatiently, he personally went to help Lu Meng, but he couldn't help him.

"Go and help him up!" Sun Quan's eyes flickered with cold light, and he roared angrily at the guards next to him.

The two guards were frightened and hurriedly helped Lu Meng up.

The rough guards didn't seem to know that Lu Meng was seriously injured, and they didn't know the severity of their hands, and under the pulling, pulling and pulling, Lu Meng's teeth cracked and cold sweat broke out.

Seeing this, Sun Quan was furious, roared "Get out", kicked away the guards, personally helped Lu Meng to lie down on the couch, and gently helped him cover the quilt.

Sun Quan looked at Lu Meng's emaciated and decadent face, and said angrily and painfully in his heart: "Ziming, you are already seriously injured, just lie down and talk to me." ”

"Thank you, lord!" Lu Meng was so excited that his eyes were watering, and he bowed his head and bowed his hands.

"They are all their own brothers, so don't be verbose. Let's talk about the war. Sun Quan said with a smile, when he is usually with his henchmen and generals, he calls him brother and brother in private, this is Sun Quan's effective and extremely clever trick, and he has tried and failed, such as Lu Meng, Lu Fan, Zhu Huan, Gu Yong, Bu Qi, Sun Shao, Hu Zong, Zhu Ran, Zhou Tai, Sun Huan, etc. Being able to be on an equal footing with the monarch as brothers, they feel that their faces are flying gold, their ancestors are glorious, they are shocked by the past and the present, they are worth a hundred times, and they are very honored, so they are deeply affected by the grace of knowing and dying for Sun Quan.

"I was ordered by the lord to start from the wet dock, through the Chaofei Canal, Feishui, Chaohu Lake, and water, and arrived in Hefei by land and water. Taking advantage of the weakness of Hefei's troops and the arrival of reinforcements, he waved his army to besiege the city on all sides and attacked it day and night. Just when the pioneer Zhou Tai was about to succeed, Zhang Liao and Yu Ban suddenly appeared on my left and right wings, and the smoke and dust were loud, and the momentum was huge, and it was estimated that each had tens of thousands of elite soldiers. The two thieves were very brave, the morale of the Cao army was high, they were not afraid of death, and the battle was fierce, and our army was exhausted from the siege of the city in turns, although they resisted desperately, but Zhang Liao's army was strong and fierce, and we could not resist it, so we had to retreat. Lu Meng lowered his head, looked depressed, and said in a low voice.

"Were you unaware before they came?! Didn't you take precautions? Sun Quan rolled his blue eyes, made a nameless anger, and said excitedly.

"I released dozens of scouts far away before the war, but before Zhang Liao's attack, none of the scouts came to report, and I sent people to look for them afterwards, only to find that they were all sniped by Cao Jun. It's all my fault for being careless. Lu Meng said bitterly.

"What about the losses in this battle?" Sun Quan said in a deep voice, now he is most concerned about the casualties of his soldiers.

"This ......, this ......" Lu Meng hesitated and stopped.

"Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, what can't you say?! If you don't say it, no one will report it to me? Sun Quan's face changed abruptly, he was furious, and Huo Di stood up.

Lu Meng's face was as frightened as earth, and he said timidly: "According to incomplete statistics, our army has suffered more than 6,000 casualties. ”

"What? Six thousand losses in the first battle! Sun Quan was so angry that his hair stood on end, he was so angry that he went back and forth, and he was extremely angry, grabbed a cup on the countertop, and smashed it on the floor with all his might, and the poor precious celadon cup was instantly shattered into hundreds of pieces.

"Lu Meng is stupid, he has lived up to the high expectations of the lord, please punish the lord." Lu Meng was so frightened that he didn't dare to come out, his five bodies fell to the ground, cold sweat was like pulp, and he said in a trembling voice. This celadon cup from the Huijiyue kiln is Lu Meng's favorite treasure. He glanced at the porcelain pieces all over the ground with the peripheral vision of his eyes, his heart was like a knife, but he didn't dare to show it on his face.

"You! It's really not angry. Do you know? Lone arranged for you to lead the troops to capture the small city of Hefei, which was originally for you to make such a great contribution, show your face to me, and take over Zijing's class in the future. Who would have thought that people are not as good as heaven, not only do you not have an inch of land, but also lose an inch of land, and the 30,000 army is reduced by one-fifth, it is simply a loss of teachers and humiliation of the country, and I am ashamed to go home, even my Sun Quan has no face to see Jiangdong's father! Sun Quan's face was hideous, his heart was painful, his voice was fierce, and he pointed at Lu Meng and scolded bitterly.
