Chapter 1204: Fraudulent Surrender

As the new generation of the governor of Eastern Wu, Jiang Gan convened the first military conference after taking office. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info he sat high in the position of the governor, looking at the generals of Eastern Wu under the hall, and he was proud in his heart.

"See the Metropolitan Governor......."

When the generals of Eastern Wu saw Jiang Gan's tail cocked to the sky, although they reluctantly bowed, the anger in their hearts was also blocked.

Jiang Gan waved his hand and said proudly: "Get up!" ”

The generals of Dongwu got up, stood left and right, no one spoke, and for a time there was a quiet place inside and outside the big tent.

As the saying goes, new officials take office with three fires, and Jiang Gan knows that these generals look down on him, and if he wants to be recognized by them, he can only show his ability and means.

So after Jiang Gan pondered for a while, he said: "It is an indisputable fact that the warships of the Tang State are huge, and our naval army is at a disadvantage. The Governor of Ben has a strategy that can turn disadvantages into advantages. ”

Jiang Gan's words really attracted the attention of the generals of Eastern Wu, and Huang Gai was the most loyal to Eastern Wu, and immediately asked: "I don't know what the strategy of the Grand Governor is?" ”

Jiang Gan said proudly: "Our Great Wu has built many ships over the years, but there are not enough manpower, and many are spare. Why not take out all these ships and merge them with the ships currently in service, or three, or five, and link them together with iron chains into one, wouldn't it be bigger than the battleships of the Tang Army? ”

It turned out that this was Jiang Gan's method of eavesdropping on Zhuge Liang's advice to Li Yi on that day, he only thought it was overheard, it was true, and he himself pondered it and felt that it was indeed a good way.

When the generals of Dongwu heard this, they reacted differently, some people felt that this method was really good, but some people thought that the hidden danger was not small.

Huang Gai was the oldest of the generals in Eastern Wu and had the most combat experience, he immediately saw the pros and cons, and stood up and said: "Governor Dadu, this method can indeed improve the combat effectiveness of warships and make small ships become big ships. However, what if the enemy is attacking? ”

Jiang Gan laughed, he also thought of this at the beginning, and therefore thought that this was also a deliberate ploy by Li Yi. Later, Jiang Gan figured it out and thought that this was not a ploy against him.

Jiang Gan said: "Our warships will be dispatched after the fire plan is successful. If the fire plan is unsuccessful...... Just take it apart again......"

The generals of Eastern Wu pondered that this also made sense.

Jiang Gan observed his words and continued: "After the success of the fire plan of the Grand Governor, the enemy was already completely chaotic at that time, who could still burn our warships? It is time to give full play to the combat effectiveness of the serial warship. ”

Lu Xun will surrender by fraud and send fireships to pretend to be warships and burn the Tang Army's water village. At that time, the warships of the Tang Army were blocked in the water village, and at this time, the serial ships rushed in to encircle and suppress them, so as to play the best role.

"The Governor is thoughtful, and we admire." The generals of Soochow said one after another.

Jiang Gan was very proud, so he asked Sun Quan about this matter, and Sun Quan also agreed to this matter. Subsequently, Jiang Gan recruited blacksmiths and carpenters across the country and began to secretly build a chain of warships.

In this way, another period of time passed, and the time quietly came to June of the fifth year of Tang Wude.

During this period of time, neither the Datang side nor the Dongwu side provoked any more wars, and the two sides were at peace.

Soochow nested in the water village day and night to build a chain of warships. The five small ships are connected together, the three middle ships are connected together, and the two building ships are connected together, and in terms of their size, they are not under the battleships of the Tang Dynasty. The soldiers walked like the wind on the more spacious deck. In this way, not only will you be able to avoid the enemy's bow and arrows, but you will also be able to maximize your own combat effectiveness.

On this day, Sun Quan summoned Jiang Gan with great satisfaction, and praised him as soon as he opened his mouth: "Aiqing, your idea of this serial warship is really good. If I had come up with it sooner, I would have won this battle a long time ago. ”

But Jiang Gan said modestly: "Your Majesty, the warships of the Tang Army also have strong combat effectiveness, especially battleships. In fact, the minister had already thought of this idea, but he was afraid that the enemy would be prepared to say it earlier. Now that there was that plan in front of him, the minister felt that it was the time to kill Li Yi by surprise. ”

Sun Quan nodded and said, "It's almost time at this time, and if you delay it for too long, you're afraid of changes." Who do you think it's better to send to Li Yi to deceive him? ”

In this regard, Jiang Gan had already had a candidate, and immediately said: "Let the former general Lu Fan go, Lu Fan has a good relationship with Lu Xun and is eloquent, let him say it, the chance of success is greater." ”

Originally, Jiang Gan originally belonged to Lu Su, he knew that his senior brother's wisdom was definitely second only to himself, Zhou Yu and Lu Xun, but Lu Su was too square and not good at lying, if he was asked to surrender, I am afraid that he would be easily recognized. Thinking about it, Jiang Gan finally chose the former general Lu Fan.

In this way, Sun Quan transferred Lu Fan from the rear.

When Lu Fan learned that Sun Quan, Jiang Gan, and Lu Xun were using bitter tricks to deceive Li Yi, he was shocked. Lu Fannai was an important minister of Eastern Wu, an official to a former general, loyal, and after learning the truth, he immediately patted his chest and took over the task of going to Li Yi to offer a letter of surrender.

………………

The Tang Army's central army camp outside Liyang City in Jiangbei, the central imperial tent.

When Li Yi learned that Lu Xun was sent to prison, he was embarrassed. Sun Quan's kid really explained to him what it means to be unpredictable. It's a pity that he really can't do such a thing.

However, this was an excellent thing for Datang, so he summoned several staff officers with the army to discuss a plan to break Wu.

Jia Xu came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, the Lu family is a wealthy family in Eastern Wu, and there are many henchmen. After his death, these people must be cold, and they can send someone to form a bond. See how many people can be convinced, and then study specific response strategies according to the position of these people in the Soochow army. I believe that with the cooperation of these people, we will definitely be able to destroy some trebuchet positions, and our army will be able to successfully attack the Dongwu Water Village. ”

Xu Maogong, Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others also nodded their heads, saying in their hearts that they were worthy of being old foxes, and they were the most thoughtful.

Li Yi also thought that this was a feasible plan, and said: "Once a son of heaven and a courtier, after Lu Xun's death, the people he promoted will have a towering position in Eastern Wu, and there will be a great possibility of becoming an internal response." ”

"What the emperor said is very true!" Several strategists said.

At this moment, Gao Zhong walked in, with a somewhat strange expression: "Your Majesty, Lu Fan, the former general of Eastern Wu, asks to see!" ”

"Oh!" Li Yi was stunned.

Pang Tong touched his nose and said with a smile: "Is it here to ask for peace?" ”

Everyone nodded in unison, and this was the only possibility.

But Gao Chong's sentence overturned this only reasonable explanation, and he said: "Lu Fan came in his personal capacity. ”

Li Yi was overjoyed, and said to Jia Xu with a smile: "It seems that someone has taken the initiative to surrender!" ”

So, Li Yi ordered several strategists to retire temporarily, and summoned Lu Fan, the former general of Eastern Wu, in the imperial tent.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" Lu Fan bowed respectfully.

Li Yi was very happy when he saw him pay homage to him, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Lu Fan, please hurry up, you are an important minister of Eastern Wu, I don't know what happened to me today?" ”

After Lu Fan got up, he said respectfully: "This time, I came here and brought a letter from Governor Lu Xun......

Hey? Li Yi was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Lu Boyan has been sent to the prison, how did you get in touch?" ”

Regarding Li Yi's question, Lu Fan had already prepared when he came. At this moment, he said unhurriedly: "The emperor Rongchen said in detail. The Lu family started from Lu Kang, the uncle of the governor of Lu Dadu, and operated in Soochow for decades, and there was no one under him? However, as the son-in-law of the eldest prince, the Metropolitan Governor grew up with Sun Quan since childhood, and was loyal to him, and finally could not escape death. The Metropolitan Governor is unwilling to die with the infamy of eternity like this, and the only person in the world who can accept the Metropolitan Governor is Emperor Wude. The minister knew that the emperor was eager to seek talent, and hoped that the emperor would accept the governor regardless of his previous suspicions. And we will also follow the Metropolitan Governor and lead the people to surrender. ”

Lu Fan said again: "We are the same flesh and blood as the governor of the capital, but it is not good to come together, let Lu Fan come first and present the secret book to the emperor." I just don't know...... Is the emperor willing to accept us? ”

Li Yi frowned and asked, "Where is the letter?" ”

When Lu Fan heard this, he hurriedly took out a sealed secret letter from his arms.

When Li Yi took it and looked at it, he saw that there were roughly three points written on the letter.

On the first point, Lu Xun explained that he was favored by the Sun family and should not have committed treason. However, Sun Quan first felt sorry for him and wanted to kill him, which led him to the idea of surrendering to the Tang Dynasty.

On the second point, Lu Xun made it clear that Sun Quan used the soldiers of Jiangdong to resist the millions of lions in the Tang Dynasty, which was obviously a mantis arm as a car. As long as Dongwu is a person with some brains, he knows that it is a dead end. So Lu Xun knew that in private, there were many people in Soochow who wanted to save their lives.

The third point is the most important, Lu Xun directly pointed out that he was killed by Jiang Gan, who only thought he had talent, but he fell for Li Yi's counter-plot. And Sun Quan was mediocre and did not listen to advice. At the same time, his maternal father Sun Ce and the old lord Sun Jian are now serving the Tang Dynasty, especially his wife Sun Shi misses his father very much, and since he can't continue to be loyal to Dongwu, it is better to surrender to the Tang Dynasty and fulfill his wife and his own filial piety.

Li Yi looked through it carefully again, and asked casually: "Who in Eastern Wu is willing to return to me?" ”

Lu Fan hurriedly said: "In Xia and the Metropolitan Governor, as well as Lu Meng, Jiang Qin, Ling Tong and others led their henchmen to surrender. ”

Suddenly, Li Yi's expression became cold, and he slapped Lu Xun's letter on the imperial book case, and sneered: "Lu Xun used a bitter trick to let you come to the book of fraud, do you think I can't see it?" ”

"Cangchang!"

"Cangchang!"

……

Dian Wei, who was on duty, saw Li Yi suddenly turn his face, and immediately led the Ouchi guards, unsheathed his sword, and surrounded Lu Fan. The fierce and vicious look was obviously that as soon as Li Yi gave an order, they would add swords and cut Lu Fan into meat sauce.
