The next day, into the night.

The camp of the Wei army, in the king's tent.

Su Zhe sat on the throne leisurely, leisurely sipping a glass of wine, his eagle-like sharp gaze, but staring at the man in black in front of him.

That man's name was Lu Xiu, who claimed to be Lu Meng's cronies, and was ordered by his general to go out of the city and come to see Su Zhe.

Su Zhe summoned him and didn't ask him what he meant, just stared at him coldly.

That look seemed to be able to see through Lu Xiu's thoughts, and he trembled when he saw him, and he didn't dare to look up.

"Are you saying that Lu Meng really intends to surrender to this king?" After a long time, Su Zhe asked.

Lu Xiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said busily: "After General Ling came to the city to persuade him before, my general was greatly touched, and after going back, he thought about it and finally figured it out, and decided to abandon the darkness and surrender to the King of Wei." ”

Su Zhe didn't show his joy or joy, but questioned: "Lu Meng is Sun Ce's hand, and he surrendered to this king so happily?" That doesn't seem like a stretch. ”

Lu Xiu hurriedly said: "Although my general was promoted by Sun Bofu, he was recommended by Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, and Sun Bofu did not fully trust my general, so he sent Pan Zhang as a deputy general, nominally to assist, but in fact it meant to monitor." ”

After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Lu Xiu said again: "After General Ling left the day before yesterday, that Pan Zhang rushed to the city, relying on Sun Ce's cronies, and was rude to my general. ”

Su Zhe stood up, paced in the tent, pondered Lu Xiu's words, and looked at Lu Meng's letter of surrender.

After a while, Su Zhe showed a smile on his face, and said happily: "Okay, this king really didn't misunderstand Lu Meng, he is really a handsome man who knows the current affairs, you go and tell Lu Meng, this king is still the same sentence, this king has reserved a seat for him in front of his tent, just wait for him to open the city and surrender." ”

Lu Xiu was overjoyed, and he was busy bowing to Su Zhe again and again.

Su Zhe rewarded Lu Xiu and ordered him to return to the city immediately to make an appointment with Lu Meng on the specific time for the surrender of the city.

"Lu Meng wants to surrender, what do you think?" Su Zhe looked at Pang Tong and Jia Xu, and the smile of joy was already on his face.

"Let's listen to Mr. Wenhe's opinion first." Pang Tong said with a smile, his starry eyes looked at Jia Xu, obviously he had a conclusion in his heart, but he wanted to see Jia Xu's strength.

Jia Xu stroked his white beard and said unhurriedly: "Lu Meng is a smart man, he should know what will happen if he is besieged by the King of Wei with his troops and the little grain and grass in Poyang City, if he chooses to surrender, it may not be a wise move." ”

As soon as the words changed, Jia Xu said again: "However, Lu Meng is a hand of Sun Ce, and there is always the grace of knowing the encounter, even if you know that you can't defend it, at least you have to defend it, at the moment, we haven't attacked the city once, he fell so happily, will it fall too fast." ”

Jia Xu just stroked his beard and smiled, but the meaning of the words was clear.

If you don't keep it, you will surrender quickly, "either you are a traitor or a thief"!

"Wen He's words are reasonable, come on, call Ling Gongji." Su Zhe nodded and shouted.

A moment later, Ling Tong came to the big tent.

Su Zhe asked: "Ling Gongji, you and that Lu Meng are also colleagues, this king wants to ask you, how loyal do you think Lu Meng is to Sun Ce?" ”

Ling Tongyi was stunned, he didn't expect Su Zhe to ask him these things.

After a moment of silence, Ling Tong said: "Lu Ziming's loyalty to Sun Bofu is a little bit that the last general doesn't dare to say, the last general only knows that Lu Ziming is recommended by Sun Bofu's second brother Sun Quan, and Sun Bofu didn't take it seriously before, it was Zhou Yu who followed the recommendation, and he decided to reuse Lu Meng. ”

It turned out to be Sun Quan.

Su Zhe couldn't help but think of the blue-eyed Sun Zhongmou who created the imperial cause of Wu in history.

If it weren't for him who changed history and didn't die early, Sun Quan at this time would have replaced his brother and stepped onto the stage of competing for the world.

It's a pity that history has changed, Sun Ce is not dead, Sun Quan can only continue to be obscure, if it wasn't for Ling Tong to mention it today, Su Zhe would almost forget about this person.

And he vaguely remembered that Sun Ce in history was excavated by Sun Quan, and the real world has not changed.

"From this point of view, this Lu Meng is not loyal to Sun Ce, and it seems that it is not impossible for him to open the city and surrender." Pang Tong said softly.

"Lao Yu just said a little bit of Lao Yu's opinion, whether this Lu Meng is really descending or false, it is up to King Wei to set the degree." Jia Xu didn't dare to pat his chest to ensure that his judgment was 100% correct.

Su Zhe got up and paced, and after a moment of silence, a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth: "It doesn't matter if he really surrenders or fakes, capturing Poyang City is our real goal, as long as we grasp this general policy, all doubts will naturally be solved." ”

At that moment, Su Zhe remained silent and continued to keep in touch with Lu Meng.

After several back-and-forth secret communications, Lü Meng claimed that Pan Zhang was a diehard loyalist of Sun Ce, and that half of the soldiers and horses in the city listened to Pan Zhang's orders and would not easily allow him to open the city and surrender.

Therefore, after some consideration, Lü Meng will steal open the south gate at night tomorrow, and ask Su Zhe to lead the army to meet outside the south gate, and then the Wei army will enter the city in a big way, so as to kill Pan Zhang and the army loyal to Sun Ce.

Su Zhe naturally did not show the slightest suspicion, and Lu Meng's request was agreed without hesitation.

Just after he responded to Lü Meng, he immediately ordered the main force to transfer the troops and horses to the front line of the east gate, but when the enemy could see it, he pretended to transfer the soldiers and horses to the front line of the south gate.

Poyang South Gate.

On the tower of the city, Lu Meng and Pan Zhang were stationed at the head of the city, inquiring about the situation in the direction of Wei Ying from a distance, and a trace of irony appeared on their faces.

"Lu Dudu's plan to surrender is really good, it seems that the Su thief has transferred his soldiers and horses to the south gate, waiting to meet you, in this way, the defenders of the east gate will definitely be weakened, and we can take the opportunity to break through from the east gate."

Pan Zhang looked at Lu Meng with a smile, and his words were full of compliments.

Lu Meng sneered, "That Su thief, he thought that everyone was as timid and shameless as Ling Cao Jiang Qin and others, and he had to surrender him in order to survive, and he also underestimated me Lu Meng too much." ”

Pan Zhang nodded heavily: "What Governor Lu said is that we will kill him by surprise tomorrow night, so that he will know how powerful our Jiangdong sons are." ”

The two had already made a decision, Pan Zhang went to arrange soldiers and horses, and Lü Meng sent Lü Xiu to contact Su Zhe again, confirming that the south gate would be opened tomorrow night to let the Wei army enter the city.

The next day, it was late at night.

The stars and the moon are dark, and the heavens and the earth are gloomy and dark.

In the direction of the east gate, 7,000 Jiangdong troops have gathered on the front line of the city gate, and the other three gates are empty, but they are full of flags, trees are full of straw men, and they pretend that there are still people guarding the city.

Lu Meng came to the edge of the city, looked down at the soldiers in the city condescendingly, and said loudly: "Brothers, that Su thief wants to trap us to death, I, Lu Meng, will take you out of the encirclement tonight, so that the Su thief knows how powerful our Jiangdong Erlang is." ”

Seven thousand Jiangdong soldiers, blood boiling, fighting spirit is raging, the originally low mood is back to shine again this time.

Lu Meng took a deep breath, waved his hand and shouted: "The city gate is opened, the drawbridge is lowered for me, and the whole army will go out of the city with me!" ”

The order was laid, the gates were opened, and the drawbridge was slowly lowered.

Lü Meng turned over his horse, went straight down to the city, and rushed out of the city gate first.

Pan Zhang gave an order, followed by 7,000 soldiers and horses, rushed out of Poyang City, and rushed to the dark side.
