Chapter 397 wants to take revenge on Uncle Yan and asks for his crimes, and hears that his father is in danger of being knighted

Let's say that Lu Meng wanted to take down Deng Qiang. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

was made to lead the troops back by a piece of news.

It turned out that the soldier told him that the battle in Linhuai was blocked, and Lu Xun led his troops to retreat towards Tuzhong.

This news was undoubtedly bad news for him Lu Meng.

He was shocked that all of these layouts were controlled by him, and now that he had made a series of mistakes.

Hurried back to Tuzhong, as soon as he entered the city, he met Chun Yushi, who had entered the city and settled the people.

"General Qiyu, the city is empty, all the houses are damaged, and all need to rest before they can live in. The southern wall has burned down and needs to be rested. Chun Yushi said.

"Huh!? What the? Empty city! Lu Meng was shocked when he heard this, and only then did he understand why those Han troops came and went in a hurry.

But who is Lu Meng? Soon adjusted his mentality, he instructed the generals: "No matter what, we will also take this city." You immediately arrange for the soldiers to rest and recuperate, Bo Yan was frustrated in Linhuai, and he will come here soon. ”

After speaking, he turned to Lu Kaiyan and said, "You return to Tu Tang immediately and prepare for reinforcements." The Han army left two empty cities, and they must have had their intentions. If I'm not mistaken, they must have laid down a heavy army at Chengdebu. ”

"Whoa!" Lu Kai agreed, and returned to Tu Tang with his personal guards.

Li Yi, Xie Jing and others hurriedly took the soldiers to tidy up the houses, or they would have to sleep on the streets at night!

These men were also really strong, and they were still tireless in the middle of the night, and when they came back from the battle, they hurriedly ate a little food, and then began to tidy up the house, and they were also in full swing.

In the evening, Lu Xun came to the outside of the city with thousands of soldiers and horses.

Lü Meng led the generals to wait outside the city. (Although Lu Xun is not as high as Lu Meng's position, Lu Xun's family is the largest family in Soochow, and the strength of the Lu family in Soochow is equivalent to the logistics of Soochow)

As soon as he saw Lu Meng, Lu Xun began to complain to Lu Meng: "Brother Ziming, I didn't expect that old man from Xiahou Yuan to see through your plan. He actually sent someone to burn my warship, and even wanted to kill my escort general Zhao Zhai. What's even worse is that after he occupied Linhuai, he didn't allow us to enter the city. ”

Lu Meng had no choice but to speak out to convince him: "Uncle Yan, Xiahou Miaocai is a figure of my father's generation. He is scheming and calculating, and he is indeed more knowledgeable than you and me. But that's okay, its Linhuai garrison should be less than 20,000, so what's there to fear? ”

Hearing this, Lu Xun was overjoyed and said: "This breath is not out, it is like a fish in the throat, and it is difficult to sleep and eat." Fortunately, my brother took care of it! The soldiers of Jiangdong have been blocked on the riverbank, and they will ask Brother Tai to send troops with a certain in the coming day. ”

"Bo Yanxiu wants to divide so clearly, you and I are fighting for Wu Hou, where is the difference between you and me?" While inviting Lu Xun into the city, Lu Meng said, "A certain garrison of 80,000 troops in Tutang, and today he is attacking Tuzhong and bringing 50,000 troops." Rao is Xuzhou soldiers and horses are only 50,000 people, how can Xiahou Miaocai come out? In the coming day, you and my brother will lead 50,000 troops to Linhuai, and I am not afraid that it will not fall! ”

50,000 soldiers and horses, plus his own nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, 60,000 people should be able to besiege the city! But the Han army is watching from the sidelines, so that people don't dare to mess around!

Lu Xun was very grateful to Lu Meng for such a heroic act, but it didn't mean that he agreed to do it!

He asked uneasily: "Brother Ziming, tens of thousands of Han soldiers are treating each other in Shouchun, if they fight with Xiahou Miaocai, wouldn't it give the Han army a profit?" ”

Lu Meng seems to have seen farther than Lu Xun, or maybe he saw more things than Lu Xun after entering the city.

He pointed to the houses on both sides of the road and said, "The Han army did not leave us a single grain and not a single resident. Then the same should be true of Linhuai! Our two armies are fighting for two empty cities abandoned by the Han army, just imagine that the Han army will not be so boring! Besides, I have already sent Lu Kai back to Tu Tang to prepare for reinforcements. The Han army has now entered a period of recuperation, and we just have to deal with Xiahou Miaocai! ”

Lu Meng really helped the boss of the Han Dynasty this time. As everyone knows, Liu Qian, the emperor of Hongwu of the Han Dynasty, who was far away in the capital Chang'an, knew what kind of expression should he have on his face?

Only then did Lu Xun notice that most of the houses in Tuzhong City had collapsed, only the middle part seemed to have just been repaired, and some soldiers were shuttling in and out.

Empty city? Why did the Han army leave the empty city? Where have the people gone? With such a big movement, how can no one know about the horses?

His mind was full of doubts.

Suddenly, he reined in his war horse and asked Lü Meng, "Why did the Han army withdraw the people?" Why is no one aware of such a big movement? ”

Although Lu Meng had this question in his heart, he thought that during the battlefield period, especially this kind of city as the front line, it was not a new thing to have no people.

He smiled slightly, and said to Lu Xun: "Han, Wei and our Jiangdong, who doesn't know the importance of the people? I think the reason why the Han army withdrew its troops was that they had already withdrawn the people to Shouchun, Chengde and other places with the transfer of soldiers and horses in the past. As the main battlefield of the battlefield a year ago, many of the people died tragically in the two armies. ”

Perhaps there is only one reason to explain this fact!

Lu Xun nodded suspiciously.

Coming to their temporary residence, Lu Xun asked Lu Meng about the grain and grass.

Lu Meng said: "Zhan Yan, the grain officer, will come tomorrow to escort the grain and grass. I wanted to take Tuzhong and get the food and grass of the Han army, but I didn't expect that there was nothing but a broken city. ”

As he spoke, he shook his head helplessly and laughed at himself.

At noon the next day, Zhan Yan escorted grain and grass into the city.

Lü Meng was overjoyed, so he said to the generals: "General Liu Ke and General Chun Yushi, you two lead 10,000 troops to garrison Tuzhong; The rest of the generals went to Linhuai with me and General Boyan to ask Xiahou Yuan for an explanation! ”

"Whoa!" The generals agreed together.

Lü Meng then ordered an army of 40,000 and more than 10,000 people under Lu Xun's department and marched towards Linhuai.

The vanguard officer was the fierce general Li Yi, with his cousin Li Tu as his deputy general, commanding 3,000 troops.

In Linhuai City, the old general Xiahou Yuan was also baffled by the emptiness of the city.

However, compared to the situation in Tu Zhongcheng, Linhuai City is not bad. After all, the houses did not collapse, the walls did not collapse. There are even good tables, chairs, cushions, bedding and other usable things in the palace. There is also some grain stored in the treasury, which can be eaten by more than 20,000 people under his command for about half a month.

He was relieved to see this!

It's just that how did he know that this was a ploy of the Han army. It's all about getting him, a veteran under Cao Cao.

When I woke up, I heard a report from Tanma that the Eastern Wu army of 40,000 or 50,000 people was attacking this side.

Damn, Lu Ziming, you really didn't have a good heart! burn my ships to cut off my way of retreat; Now raise up troops again to seek my city! It's so deceitful!

"Convene the generals and discuss the county hall!" He commanded while putting on his clothes.

After a short time, all the generals came to the county hall.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Xiahou Yuan said: "Yesterday, our army won Linhuai, and Lu Xun lost his troops and went to Tuzhong. Today, there are 40,000 or 50,000 reinforcements, and more than 3,000 of its vanguard soldiers and horses are rushing here! Do you have a solution? ”

Xiahou He stepped forward and said, "Father, my son is willing to lead three thousand soldiers to intercept the enemy's vanguard halfway!" ”

Xiahou Yuan looked at Xiahou He and nodded: "It's okay!" Thou shalt thou be careful, for if the enemy army appears in large numbers, thou shalt not wait for a fight. ”

"Whoa!" Xiahou He agreed, and then left with the deputy generals Zhang Wen and Zhang Shao.

Li Yi and Li Tu brothers walked halfway, but saw the dust in front of them, and a big flag loomed in the dust, and two big characters "Xiahou" could be seen embroidered on the banner vaguely.

Xiahou? Xiahou Yuan couldn't hold his breath and sent troops to intercept him.

Li Yi ordered: "Stop!" Array. ”

The army suddenly stopped advancing and formed a formation.

In an instant, the soldiers and horses on the opposite side came to the front, not others, but Xiahou and the department.

Xiahou and Yaoyao saw a group of soldiers and horses seeing them, and lined up from the formation, and then looked at the banner held high by the soldier embroidered with the huge word "Wu", and knew that this was the vanguard of the Wu army.

About fifty feet away, he lifted his spear and shouted: "Phew! He reined in his horses and motioned for the soldiers to line up.

Looking at Li Yi from afar, he shouted, "Who is on the other side?" ”

Hearing this, Li Yi said coldly: "Ask me? I am Jiangdong General Li Yi is also! Who are you? ”

"A certain Nai Xiahou and yes!"

"If it's really someone from the Xiahou family, since it's an enemy, don't talk about it, look at the knife!" After speaking, Li Yi swung his knife and slashed.

To say that Li Yi is a fierce general, it is not bad! It's a pity that Li Yi doesn't have a famous teacher to guide him, otherwise his achievements are more than that. His knife technique inherited the sword routine of the Han Dynasty military generals: cutting, chopping, chopping, and chopping.

Xiahou and Ben wanted to go out, but Zhang Wen rushed out first and took it for him.

Zhang Wen, Xiahou He's senior brother, is also good at martial arts.

saw Zhang Wen swing his spear, pick up Li Yi's big knife, and stab Li Yi's mount with a blunt blow from the back of the spear with his backhand.

Li Yi was not old with a knife, and seeing that his beloved horse was injured, he hurriedly waved his knife to block.

The two horses fought in a row, and they fought together.

Xiahou He knew that Lu Meng's army was not far away, so he turned his heart sideways, raised his gun and shouted: "Brothers, rush!" After speaking, he rode a horse to take Li Tu.

Zhang Shao held a gun and fought Li Yi with Zhang Wen.

Li Tu was originally a butcher and has been a deputy general under Li Yi. To put it bluntly, it was nepotism, cousin Li Yi was promoted to general because of his bravery, and he became Li Yi's personal adjutant.

It's a pity that he fell in love with the professionally trained Xiahou He, not two of them, one didn't take care of them, and was stabbed through by Xiahou He, screaming miserably, and dying with a whimper.

Li Yi originally dealt with Zhang Wen, and it was difficult to win; In the face of Zhang Shao's joining, he was forced to sweat (although the weather was very cold at this time).

Suddenly hearing Li Tu's screams, he was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly slashed twice, turned his horse and fled.

He took the lead in escaping, and where did those Wu troops still have the will to fight, they all fled in the wilderness regardless of life and death.

Zhang Shao and Zhang Wen wanted to lead troops to chase after them, but they were stopped by Xiahou He.

"Two senior brothers, poor Kou Mo chases. There is an enemy brigade of soldiers and horses ahead, and we should go back to the city to ask for merit! Xiahou and Haha laughed, and then led the troops back to the city.

Li Yi led the remnants of the defeated army to meet the army of Lü Meng and Lu Xun on the way.

"Zicha, why is it like this?" Seeing his appearance, Lu Meng was shocked.

You must know that Li Yi is a fierce general under his command! Waiting for two or three military generals to come closer.

Li Yi told him about the situation just now, knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty: "The last general will rush forward and damage the morale of the soldiers, and he should be punished, please deal with it with military law!" ”

Lu Meng laughed and said: "The two armies clash, how can victory or defeat be judged by victory!" Son, hurry up. When our army comes to the city, you will have a chance for revenge. When the time comes, if you cannot win, it is not too late to be condemned. ”

Xiahou Yuan was not complacent because of this small victory.

He told the generals to be prepared, and as soon as the enemy army arrived, he would immediately attack the city. He had been worried about whether the letter sent to Xuzhou would arrive.

In fact, this letter was not sent to Xuzhou, but to the capital of Guiyang, Jiaozhou.

Zhang Bao, the protector who received the letter, was shocked and secretly scolded Jia Xu in his heart.

Old fellow, aren't you a cheater? You've already arranged this trick and won't tell me in advance. In case my father-in-law is gone, I don't look for you to settle accounts.

Complaining is complaining, he still found his uncle Xiahou Heng and Xiahou Ba.

"Two brothers, my father-in-law is in trouble!" As he spoke, he handed the letter to the two of them.

This letter was written by Xiahou Yuan himself, and it was written to Xiahou Rong. It's just that Xia Hourong's name is not written clearly, and which of his sons is to see it is the kind that it is written for.

Xiahou Ba was shocked when he saw it.

Zhang Bao hurriedly supported him and said, "Don't worry. A certain wanted to go with the two of them, but the military affairs were too much to go. Here is a handwritten letter, please take it with the second brother to Yangzhou Shouchun to see the envoy Guan Suo. ”

"Brother-in-law, you ......" Xiahou Heng and Xiahou Ba grabbed Zhang Bao's hands tightly and called Zhang Bao like this for the first time, which shows the expression of family affection at this time.

Zhang Bao said with a smile on her face: "In the past, I sought an official position for my second brother, and the Son of Heaven once said: 'When the second brother returns, he should be granted. Now the second brother went to Yangzhou, and he should be awarded this official position. ”

Xiahou Heng knew that if he didn't accept it, how could he be embarrassed?

"I'm willing to take it!"

Zhang Bao then took out the official seal of the general.

The two kowtowed to the official, and shouted long live.
