Volume 3 A Thousand Miles to Save Guan Gong Chapter 70 Lu Meng's suicide note recommends Lu Xun
General Taishi, it's not good, he is dead! "The scout horses that came this time,
"Nonsense! If you dare to disturb the morale of the army, you will not be forgiven! Tai Shi Xiang said angrily.
"General Taishi, what I said is true, I saw the corpse of Lu Dudu with my own eyes!"
"What?" Hearing the news, Tai Shi Ci stood there stupidly.
Could it be that Lu Meng is really dead? How is this possible, Lu Meng was still standing in front of him alive in the morning, how long has it been! And Lu Meng is leaving with tens of thousands of people, and there are tens of thousands of people guarding him, how could Lu Meng die?
After a long time, Tai Shixiang calmed down and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”
"General Hui, we don't know what's going on, I heard that it was Lu Dudu who encountered Guan Yu's ambush, what happened will not be known until the army comes back!" The scout leader said.
Hearing this, Tai Shixiang licked his lips lightly and said, "You follow me out of the city, let's go see what's going on?" ”
Finally, Tai Shixiang encountered the defeated Jiangdong Army. I saw a vast number of defeated troops walking slowly on the road, and there was no end in sight.
"What about Lutdu? Where is Governor Lüdu? Tai Shixiang grabbed a small soldier at random and asked.
Bing pointed to the back and said in a trembling voice: "General, Lu Dudu is behind." ”
Tai Shi Xiang patted the horse and galloped backwards. Walked for a moment. I saw a group of people carrying stretchers one by one in the distance. Tai Shixiang stepped forward. The discoverer was lying on the stretcher at the front, and it turned out to be Lu Meng!
"Governor!" Tai Shixiang rushed forward. Only to find that Lu Meng was no longer breathing!
This scene. made Tai Shixiang directly stunned. Then. The soldiers in the back walked over carrying Jiang Qindi's corpse......
Lü Meng died. Jiang Qin also died. It's happened to this point. It's out of your control!
Tai Shixiang exhaled slightly. He said to the people around him, "You guys go to Gangneung immediately." Tell the lord about this! ”
……
Gangneung.
Not long after the war began, Sun Quan took an important civil and military minister to Jingzhou in person and sat in Jiangling to supervise the war.
For Lu Meng, Sun Quan is still very relieved. Speaking of which, among the Jiangdong soldiers, Sun Quan's favorite is Lu Meng. Among the previous governors, Lu Meng also did the most satisfying to Sun Quan.
When Zhou Yu was the governor of the capital, although he burned Chibi and defeated Cao Cao, Zhou Yu was out of the limelight in that battle, but Sun Quan himself did not get any benefits, and Jingzhou let Liu Bei go in vain. ~~UC eBook~~
Later, Zhou Yu finally died, and Lu Su came to take over. But Lu Su was too loyal, although he also had to return to the three counties of Jingzhou, but Lu Su inherited Zhou Yu's strategic ideas and did something similar to Zhou Yu, which made Sun Quan really unhappy.
Sun Quan is somewhat happy, and in the unfavorable situation of attacking Hefei many times, Sun Quan hopes to make a breakthrough on the side of Jingzhou. But whether it is Zhou Yu or Lu Su, they are all under the calculation of Lian Liu Kangcao, how can this win Jingzhou!
It's still the current Lu Meng, who defeated Guan Yu with a simple strategy and won Jingzhou! Now Guan Yu is trapped in Maicheng, and he sees that the world's number one general is about to be captured by himself!
Thinking about Guan Yu flooding the Seventh Army, Cao Ren didn't even dare to go out, Sun Quan couldn't help but start fantasizing in his mind, if Guan Yu could surrender himself, he would directly send troops to Xiangyang, why worry about the big thing?
At this moment, Luo Tong hurriedly walked in from outside, and Sun Quan could faintly see the beads of sweat on Luo Tong's head.
"Gongxu, why are you so alarmed?" Sun Quan asked.
"Lord, something is wrong, there is an urgent report from Mai Cheng Taishi Xiang." Luo Tong didn't stand firm after entering the door, so he spoke.
"But Guan Yu ran away?" Sun Quan frowned, in Sun Quan's opinion, this Guan Yu's successful breakthrough was probably the worst outcome.
"Lord, not only Guan Yu ran away, but the two generals Lu Mengdu, Jiang Qin and Zhu Ran were also killed!" Luo Tong said.
"Lu Meng is dead?" Sun Quan suddenly exclaimed.
Luo Tong next to him was frightened by Sun Quan's call. Luo Tong has never seen Sun Quan lose his temper so much, even when Cao Cao's 830,000 army attacked Jiangdong, Sun Quan was still sitting firmly in Diaoyutai, but now, Sun Quan screamed without regard to his manners.
However, Sun Quan is worthy of being a prince, and after only a breath of time, Sun Quan calmed down, only to see Sun Quan gloomy, and asked: "What the hell is going on, tell me what happened!" ”
"Back to the lord, General Lü Meng originally sent Zhu Ran to ambush in the north of Maicheng City, but I don't know where a group of Shu troops came from and defeated General Zhu Ran, Guan Yu took this opportunity to break through to the north. Governor Lü Meng immediately went to pursue, but encountered Guan Yu's ambush, and Governor Lü Meng and General Jiang Qin were all killed! Luo Tong said briefly.
"Ambush? There are tens of thousands of troops around Lu Meng, could it be that the other party has hundreds of thousands of troops to ambush Lu Meng? ”
"This minister didn't know, but he heard that General Lü Meng led his troops to pursue, but the cavalry and infantry were disconnected, causing the lone army to go deeper, so he fell into an ambush. By the time the army behind felt it, General Lü Meng was already dead! ”
……
Lü Meng's death completely confused Sun Quan.
In fact, Sun Quan's attack on Jingzhou has always been very smooth. Whether it's just opened
The enemy is weak, let Guan Yu be careless, or cross the river in white clothes, occupy Jiangling and Gong 9] defeated Guan Yu, and trapped Guan Yu in Maicheng, all of this is very smooth, completely according to the previously designed script.
If being run away by Fang is a small flaw in this, then now that Guan Yu has run away, Lu Meng is still dead in battle, which is simply a stab in the sky.
Sun Quan trusted Lü Meng, and at the same time, Sun Quan also had confidence in Lü Meng, so Sun Quan named Lü Meng the governor of the capital, and also transferred Sun Jiao away, the purpose was to give Lü Meng more space to play, and all along, Lü Meng has done very well, with almost no flaws. It can be described as perfect.
But I didn't expect that Lu Meng was defeated this time, not only defeated, but also lost his life!
Sun Quan sighed and waved his hand at Luo Tong: "You go down first!" ”
Luo Tong nodded, he knew that what Sun Quan needed most now was to calm down alone. Luo Tong bowed to Sun Quan, then got up to leave.
Sun Quan sat there alone, staring blankly at the table.
I remember that when Sun Ce died, Sun Quan also sat at the table in such a daze, at a loss.
The soldiers consciously gathered outside the house, and everyone knew that Hou Sun Quan didn't want to be disturbed at this time, so no one dared to make a sound at this moment.
Sun Jing came to Sun Quan's courtyard.
Sun Jing was Sun Quan's uncle, and the guards naturally didn't dare to stop him, but Sun Jing still slowed down and came to Sun Quan's room gently.
Sun Quan heard the footsteps, frowned, now Sun Quan is just when he needs to be quiet, and there are still people who dare to come over to disturb him, Sun Quan can't help but feel a little angry, but Sun Quan looked up and saw that it was Sun Jing who came in, and the feeling of anger in his heart suddenly disappeared.
"Uncle, Lu Meng, he's dead!" Sun Quan said.
Sun Jing came to Sun Quan's side, patted Sun Quan's shoulder gently, then took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Sun Quan, and said, "Zhongmou, Ziming left a letter with me when he left." He said that if misfortune befell him, he would give you this letter! ”
Sun Quan snatched the letter and saw that the words "The Lord Opened Himself" on it were Lu Meng's handwriting.
Sun Quan hurriedly opened the letter and read it carefully.
I saw that the expression on Sun Quan's face was constantly changing, sometimes sad, sometimes thoughtful, and sometimes emotional.
Finally, Sun Quan saw the last few paragraphs.
"The minister is frightened, trusted by the lord, and the three armies are united, and the minister should be rewarded for his death...... Bo Yan and Shu Lang are both talented, but although Shu Lang is good at making friends, his strategy is not as good as Bo Yan, Lu Boyan's talent is ten times better than Meng, and it can be of great use, and the lord can make him defend Jingzhou, and he will be able to block Cao Cao in the south and Liu Bei in the west......"
Shu Lang in Lu Meng's letter is Sun Jiao, and Bo Yan is naturally Lu Xun. Speaking of Sun Jiao, he is an outstanding talent in the Sun family, when Lü Meng entered Jingzhou, Sun Quan once ordered Sun Jiao to be Lü Meng's deputy general, but Lü Meng said that if Lü Meng is used, Lü Meng will be used alone, and Sun Jiao will be used alone, so Sun Quan will transfer Sun Jiao back and be responsible for logistics, and the front-line army will be handed over to Lü Meng's commander.
Now that Lu Meng is dead, of course Sun Quan wants to find someone to replace Lu Meng, speaking of which, Sun Quan's favorite candidate is still Sun Jiao, after all, Sun Jiao is Sun Quan's cousin, and it is better to control the military power in his own hands, not to mention that there is no suitable candidate in Jiangdong to replace Lu Meng, but he didn't expect Lu Meng to recommend Lu Xun to himself.
Lu Xun is Sun Ce's son-in-law and Sun Quan's niece-in-law, but Sun Quan doesn't know Lu Xun very well. Speaking of which, Lu Xun is not very showy, so today's Lu Xun does not show too much talent.
Sun Quan handed the letter to Sun Jing next to him, and asked, "Uncle, what do you think of Ziming's final proposal?" ”
Sun Jing looked at the letter, and the so-called Lu Meng's last proposal was to let Lu Xun replace Lu Meng.
At this time, Sun Jing's heart was like a mirror, Jingzhou is a hot potato now, Jingzhou was originally a place of four wars, surrounded by enemies. Although Jiangdong now occupies Jingzhou, it has to face Cao Cao in the north and Liu Bei in the west. And now there is a Guan Yu in Jingzhou leading 10,000 horses to wander, when it comes to playing against Guan Yu, I am afraid that no one in this world can say that he will win.
Sun Jiao is his own son, if Sun Jiao is allowed to guard Jingzhou, it sounds very majestic, but since then, Sun Jiao has to face Guan Yu's 10,000 horses first, and he will have to face Liu Bei and Cao Cao's army in the future, even Lu Meng died in the hands of Guan Yu, although Sun Jiao has the ability, but when facing Guan Yu, the odds are not great, not to mention, maybe he will be killed by Guan Yu.
This Sun Jing has five sons, the eldest son Sun Wei once wanted to seize power when Sun Ce died, but failed, although Sun Quan did not kill him, but Sun Wei's life is over. The second son Sun Yu died of illness a few years ago, and the fourth son Sun Qian and the fifth son Sun Huan were mediocre, and the most capable of Sun Jing's sons was the third son Sun Jiao.
Sun Jiao is Sun Jing's greatest hope, so Sun Jing doesn't want Sun Jiao to miss anything. Now that there is such a dangerous errand as guarding Jingzhou, it is better to let his son stay away.
