Lü Meng, whose name is Ming, is the third governor of Eastern Wu after Zhou Yu and Lu Su in history.

It is recorded in "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms - The Biography of Lü Meng" that he was attached to his brother-in-law Deng Dang when he was a teenager and followed Sun Ce as a general. After Sun Quan became unified, he was gradually reused.

Lü Meng was originally a martial artist, and later inspired by Sun Quan, he began to study diligently, and became a representative of ancient Chinese generals who were diligent and clumsy, and devoted to mechanics.

After the death of Lu Su, Lü Meng succeeded him as the governor of Lukou, and later designed to attack Jingzhou, defeated Guan Yu, a famous general of the Shu Han Dynasty, and greatly increased the land area of Eastern Wu.

It can be said that the martial saint Guan Yu died at his hands!

Now, Lu Meng, who is the top name in history, is just a young man who has just lost a loved one. Yuan Yao didn't expect to meet him in this situation......

Looking at the young man in front of him with red eyes but a deliberately stiff face, Yuan Yao secretly sighed and said, "Your brother-in-law saved my life, you can mention any requests." ”

The young Lu Meng arched his hand and said: "Thank you for the general's love, my brother-in-law is just dutiful and did what he should do, and now that the pension has been issued, I dare not ask for anything." ”

"Hey......" After hearing what Lu Meng said, Yuan Yao still couldn't hold back his sigh, "I want to keep you by my side as an attendant, are you willing?" ”

Lu Meng was stunned, hesitated, and then gritted his teeth and replied: "Please forgive the general, I want to stay in the army and kill the enemy to take revenge." ”

Yuan Yao said with some annoyance when he heard this: "Stupid! You are just a pawn now, and you have no brother-in-law to take care of you, when will you have a chance to take revenge alone?

You stay with me now to have a chance to get ahead, will have more learning resources, I have a lot of military books and strategies for you to read, a lot of famous generals for you to consult, after learning a skill, I will give you soldiers and horses, let you lead the army, then it is the day of revenge, you understand! ”

At this point, Lu Meng finally understood the meaning of Yuan Yao's care, and hurriedly saluted: "The kid is stupid, he doesn't know what to do, and he almost failed the general's kindness, please forgive the general!" ”

Yuan Yao saw that Lu Meng was enlightened, so he nodded with satisfaction: "Get up, just follow your brother-in-law and call me my lord in the future." ”

"No, thank you for your support!" Lu Meng thanked him again before getting up again.

Looking at Lu Meng, who was still half an adult, standing beside him with a little restraint, Yuan Yao had mixed feelings in his heart......

Lu Meng is 100% a famous general of the Three Kingdoms, even if he is still a teenager. Under normal circumstances, being subdued will definitely make Yuan Yao excited, but this time, for him, it is no longer simply to satisfy the desire to collect, but a sense of responsibility to be entrusted.

Yuan Yao believed that the reason for Deng Dang's sacrifice was mainly due to his own carelessness, so he had the responsibility to take care of him and his subordinates' families, not to mention that his family was still the famous general Lu Meng.

Lu Meng was originally a military general whose ability was not too prominent, and he could not be compared with first-class generals such as Sun Ce and Tai Shici, but later because of Sun Quan's encouragement, he began to work hard, and suddenly became a top handsome talent, and achieved the eternal beauty of "Shibei for three days, when you look at each other", which made Yuan Yao have to be more cautious about this matter.

Yuan Yao didn't know how Sun Quan cultivated Lu Meng into a talent, and he didn't know if he had Sun Quan's ability, because the written record in the history books was just speculation and had no reference value.

Now Yuan Yao uses his brother-in-law's sacrifice as an incentive condition, and then keeps him by his side to supervise him all the time, hoping to replicate the historical miracle and reproduce the eternal beauty of "three days of Shibi, when you look at each other".

This is already the best way he can think of, for this reason, he will do his best to take care of Lu Meng, otherwise if he accidentally scraps this handsome talent, then Yuan Yao will regret it for the rest of his life.

In addition, Yuan Yao is planning to release Chen Wu to lead the troops, and Lu Meng's appearance just makes up for the vacancy around him.

The battleship that chose to be broken, in addition to the captain Deng Dang, there were 120 sailors, Yuan Yao couldn't favor one over the other, only arranged Lu Meng, but didn't care about the others.

The soldier who died in battle had a pension of 3,000 yuan, the value of more than a dozen grains, and the life and death of his family in the future was not within the scope of the government's consideration, which made Yuan Yao feel a little chilled, but he didn't dare to mess around like before.

Yuan Yao had changed the soldier's two meals a day to three meals before, thinking that it was good governance and could increase the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, but the result almost made the army unsustainable.

According to the existing pension system, after arranging the families of the sacrificed soldiers, Yuan Yao ordered people to record the soldiers who died in battle that could be counted from now on, and then make up for it after the pension system was improved in the future.

Although the 120 soldiers who died this time have not played any role in the progress of the system, they planted a seed called "martyr" in Yuan Yao's heart, waiting for the moment when it sprouts.

……

In the next few days, Yuan Yao still led the navy to gallop on the Yangtze River, and he did not hide in fear because of a mistake, because he knew that he would be abolished, especially in this troubled era, if he didn't have a heart to bear the blow, then he might as well obey history, as Xu Shao commented, to be a rich child who has been rich for a lifetime.

However, Yuan Yao still knew what it meant to "eat a trench and grow a wisdom", because Liu Xun had successfully brought the 15,000 people led by Chen Wu to the Lujiang River, so that the navy had enough manpower, so when he led 20 battleships to sail again, he also brought 10 three-oared warships led by Chen Wu; and all 80 ships were cruising in the waters of the Lujiang River, ready to respond at any time, so that when he encountered Jingzhou's red horse assault tactics, there would be a double guarantee.

The 10 three-oared warships are like heavy cavalry on the water, and the red horse clippers are like light infantry on the water, although the two ships have never faced each other in history, but you can imagine what the battle will be;

In addition, 80 traditional Chinese melee ships are in the rear, and they are not afraid of any Red Horse assault tactics, even if there are hundreds of Red Horses, they are no match, because each ship can carry 200-300 people; There are only about 10 people in the red horse, and they can only bully and bully ships like battleships that are not good at close combat.

Because of the merits of the battleships, the superiority of the Jingzhou warships has been leveled, and its number is also seventy or eighty ships. In addition, the current form of water warfare has been changed by battleships to speed first, so the building ships and fighting ships in Jingzhou are in an advantageous position, but they can't help for a while because of speed, so the two sides have slowly formed a state of confrontation.

Cai Mao also did not dare to pursue Yuan Yao's battleship, because Yuan Yao was on guard against his red horse assault tactics, and pursuing was tantamount to death;

And Yuan Yao's battleship did not dare to cross Peng Lize, because it was like a crossroads, and it was easy to be attacked by many parties when they entered.

Unless he is ready for a decisive battle with Cai Mao, he will be pressed by the whole army, but that is equivalent to attacking his own shortcomings and attacking the other's strengths, after all, the total amount of Jingzhou's naval army is still in an absolute advantage.

Now Yuan Yao handed over the key to the victory of the Battle of Yuzhang to Tai Shici, and his own task was to contain the Jingzhou naval army, so that Cai Mao could not support the war on land.

As long as Tai Shici defeats the combined forces of Zhuge Xuan and Zhenrong on land, and then he can attack Peng Lijin, the current garrison of Jingzhou Navy, and form a land and water flanking attack on Cai Mao with Yuan Yao, which will make up for the disadvantage of the Lujiang Navy, and there will be no problem in the decisive battle.

In that case, if you lose again, you can only say that you deserve it......
