It was late at night, and a waiter came in from outside the tent and added some small pieces of wood to the brazier. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info soon, the brazier burst into a beating flame, mixed with a crackling sound.
At this time, Lu Xun, who had been helpless for a long time, was looking at the flames and was distracted, and suddenly there was a heavy voice outside the tent: "Report-!" Let Lu Xun stir up, and he couldn't help but be a little annoyed.
However, the sentry who came in from outside the tent was happy, and only listened to him report to Lu Xun: "General, the convoy from Jiangling has finally arrived!" β
Lu Xun was overjoyed when he heard this, and he was about to stand up and go out of the tent to greet him. But as soon as he stood up halfway, he restrained his joy again, sat back slowly, and muttered to himself in contemplation: "Lu Meng and I have a general friendship, and there is really no possibility that the transport team will rush at night after seeing my letter, and besides, it is inconvenient to walk at night, and it is inevitable to rest during the day, and it may not be able to walk faster." As he spoke, he pinched his fingers and calculated the itinerary, but it was probably not much different from the speed of walking day and night every day, which was also reasonable. But he still ordered the whole battalion to be on guard, light more torches, and select 100 elite Wu soldiers to meet him in front of the gate.
In fact, Zhuge Song didn't know that if he went at night, it would definitely increase Lu Xun's suspicions. But he still realized an intractable problem after leading his troops to ambush and annihilating Wu Bing's convoy by surprise.
That is, because the barbarians always go over the mountains and mountains, their physical appearance is very different from that of Wu soldiers. If Zhuge Song now has thousands of Jingzhou troops in his hands, he may be able to hide from Lu Xun by changing into Wu Jun's clothes. But when these barbarians all changed into the clothes and armor of the Wu army, Zhuge Song still frowned, even though he walked away fifty steps away from them.
In desperation, Zhuge Song had no choice but to wait until late at night when he was twenty miles away from Lu Xun's camp, and then let the dozens of horsemen who followed him to Yidao dismount one after another, mixed with some temporary hard-pulled strong men, and forced hundreds of Han people to carry a torch in front, and the thousands of barbarians who escorted the siege equipment followed behind only one person for every ten people with torches barely enough to see the light of the road, as for the eight thousand barbarians who followed behind, they could only touch the dark, fortunately, the road was relatively flat. And the convoy itself was moving very slowly, so it was not distanced.
Less than 100 steps in front of Wu Zhai, Lu Xun's messenger, who had been captured by Zhuge Song, had to respond to Lu Xun loudly under the threat of being held up by a dagger in the back and Zhuge Song's promise of a heavy reward afterwards.
Lu Xun saw in the firelight that the messenger had indeed been sent by himself, and he said something that was in line with common sense when he went to Jiangling to see Lu Meng, so he no longer doubted it and made people open the gate of the wall.
When the convoy arrived at the door, the leader of the team was less than five steps away from Lu Xun, and saw that the person was quite young, but his expression was very indifferent, thinking that he was dissatisfied with the overnight journey. Thinking that he would use this person to command the soldiers to assemble siege equipment in the coming day, Lu Xun took the initiative to take two steps forward and saluted lightly and said with a smile: "I'm tired of rushing late at night, now tomorrow I can take Yidu, and send a message to General Lu to return to life!" β
Unexpectedly, the man smiled slightly but did not return the salute, and actually replied: "Why wait for tomorrow, tonight I can invite General Lu to enter the Yidu City to have a look!" β
Lu Xun's stunned expression had just formed, and before his brain had time to think about what the other party meant, the man had already pulled out his sword and shouted: "Kill!" β
For a while, hundreds of soldiers in the front row of the "transport team" flashed out of the gaps with torches according to the rehearsed formation, and what appeared from these dark gaps were a large number of barbarian soldiers with fierce faces!
Wuzhai is brightly lit at this time! Wuzhai is brightly lit at this time!
The barbarians who entered the Wu village no longer had the restraint of the invisible objects in the darkness at this time, and when they came, they were immediately released because of the careful suppression of the darkness!
With the light of swords and swords, the Wu soldiers in the village immediately became a mess under the attack that burst in. And the young general, who had just drawn his sword and gave an order, retreated into the darkness behind him with a smile at this time, directing the follow-up barbarians to which direction to reinforce in Wuzhai.
Although Lu Xun also practiced martial arts from time to time, compared to the wisdom in his mind that could dance the world, in the face of the brute soldiers who bore the brunt of the brute and his subordinates who had already been rushed to pieces, he had been subdued by those brute soldiers in less than the time to boil a pot of water.
This is still because Zhuge Song had a clear order in advance, and the generals led by Wu Jun could only be captured alive, so that Lu Xun could support him for such a period of time.
Seeing that Lu Xun had been captured, hundreds of Han soldiers armed with torches immediately shouted: "The main general has been captured, surrender and avoid death!" The Lord has been captured, surrender and avoid death! If it weren't for the reward that Zhuge Song promised to these barbarians before the war, catching the prisoners was higher than cutting off the captives, these barbarians would not have cared whether they laid down their weapons or cut them indiscriminately.
When everything was settled, no more than 300 Wu soldiers were killed in the battle, and the rest became prisoners. Not long ago, there was a big tent for Lu Xun to look at the flames and meditate, and the owner at this time has changed Zhuge Song.
Lu Xun was escorted up and refused to kneel, Zhuge Song, who was sitting on the main seat, looked proud, in the eyes of others, he just captured a general with little reputation in Eastern Wu, but for Zhuge Song at this time, the satisfaction in his heart was the same as that of capturing the governor of Eastern Wu.
Shamoke, who had won a great victory, sat on the side and was also happy, the reason why he agreed to lead his troops to occupy Yidao when he knew that LΓΌ Meng had captured Jiangling was entirely because of Zhuge Song's contribution to regaining the throne and the in-law relationship between the two, and he still had doubts about whether he could defeat LΓΌ Meng ideologically. At this time, seeing that Zhuge Song's previous plan was one ring after another, and as soon as he sent troops, Lu Xun's five thousand Wu soldiers were wiped out, and he couldn't help but increase his confidence, and wanted to continue to fight with Zhuge Song a few more battles to get more of the bounty promised by Zhuge Song.
Zhuge Song saw Lu Xun's dead face, and somehow he was a little unbearable. Thinking that he had taken advantage of the "Unknown Prophet" in the final analysis, and defeating Lu Xun this time could not be regarded as a fair contest, he also restrained his smile, and together with Shamoke, he led people to press Lu Xun to the city of Yidu to call the door, he didn't want to sleep in this tent tonight.
Shana in Yidu City had already been awakened by the earth-shattering shouts outside the city, but she remembered Zhuge Song's previous instructions and strictly guarded the city gate no matter what happened outside. At this time, it was Zhuge Song and his own brother who saw the door under the city, plus Lu Xun, who had been calling for war under the city these days, was tied up tightly, and finally no longer had any worries, opened the city gate, and let Zhuge Song and his party enter the city.
After Shana saw Zhuge Song, she was even more impressed by everything she expected, but because the two had been not on good terms before, she finally refused to speak first. However, Zhuge Song was in a good mood because he had just won the battle, and he had been running around for many days and saw all men, at this time such a beautiful woman witnessed his victory in front of him, although the relationship between the two has always been in name only, but when he thought of the heroic and pretty female general in front of him, he was already his concubine, and naturally he had not drunk the celebration wine, and the whole person was already drunk.
So that night, although Shana did not mean to sleep in the same room, but arranged another upper room in the same courtyard for him, in the face of Shamoke's questioning, and strong request, seeing that Shana did not have the same resolute look as before, Zhuge Song finally entered Shana's room with a cheeky face, and after the subordinates retreated, the two looked at each other a little embarrassed, and only let the red candles on the table dance slightly.
