Chapter 34: Undercurrents

As soon as Lu Mian returned to his tent, he ordered his cronies to guard the periphery.

After all, Lu Mian is the hussar general of the Zhongjia Dynasty, and his status is not inferior to Zhang Xun and Ji Ling, and among the remaining more than 8,000 remnants of the Yuan army, more than 2,000 are Lu Mian's troops, which can be regarded as a strong force.

Lifting the curtain of the tent, Lu Mian saw at a glance that there was a scribe sitting neatly in the big tent.

Of course, Lu Mian is no stranger to this scribe, in fact, most of the civil and military officials of the entire Zhongjia Dynasty will not be unfamiliar, because this person also used to be an official in the Zhongjia Dynasty, and his position is not low.

This person is Xiyang Lu Fan, a famous capable official.

Lu Fan is known for his thoughtfulness and courage.

When Sun Ce conquered Danyang, he had a bad relationship with the Xuzhou assassin Shi Taoqian who was from Danyang, which affected the old mother who settled in Jiangdu, Sun Ce urgently ordered Lu Fan to retrieve the old mother, Lu Fan sneaked into Jiangdu alone, and under the pressure of being wanted in the whole territory of the five counties of Xuzhou, he simply retrieved Mrs. Wu, and was leaned on by Sun Ce as a humerus.

"Sir, why are you?" Lu Mian couldn't help but be taken aback.

"Why can't it be?" Lu Fan said with a smile.

"Sir isn't afraid of being recognized?" Lu Mian whispered, "Among the remnants of the Yuan army, there are many people who recognize Mr., as long as one person recognizes Mr., wouldn't it be a bad thing?" ”

Lu Fan laughed and said: "The general only knows that there are many people in the Yuan army, but he doesn't know that there are also many people who are friendly with the people below, not to mention, the city that enters from the north gate guarded by the general is actually not dangerous." ”

"That's right." Lu Mian nodded and said, "As soon as Yuan Shu dies, this Zhong family dynasty is already disheartened. ”

"What did you say, General?" Lu Fan couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, and asked urgently, "Yuan Shu is dead?" ”

"Dead." Lu Mian said, "It's the incident of last night that Zhang Xun and Empress Feng were poisoned." ”

"Zhang Xun and Feng poisoned Yuan Shu?" Lu Fan cried out in a lost voice, "How is this possible? Zhang Xun may have a personal affair with Feng, but to say that he dared to poison Yuan Shu is unbelievable! ”

"But I can't help but believe it." Lu Mian said, "Ji Ling and dozens of Yu Lin Lang, who was in charge of the guards, saw Zhang Xun pour dove poison honey into Yuan Shu's mouth. ”

"So, it's true." Lu Fan said, "This is really unseemly. ”

"This matter should be true, although Ji Ling and Jin Shang are pedantic, they are also extremely upright, and they should not lie and deceive, not to mention that there is also Yuan Shu's handwritten edict to testify." Lu Mian waved his hand and asked Lu Fan again, "Sir, what did Sun Lang reply to the matter mentioned earlier?" ”

Although Lu Mian said that he was friendly with Sun Ce, he had not yet taken refuge in Sun Ce now, so he still called Sun Ce according to the title when the two were in a relationship before.

Lu Fan said: "The lord said, if the general can raise troops to match, then for Jiangdong there is no doubt that the drought will be sweet and rainy for a long time, and the lord will treat the general well, and from now on, the Lu family will always enjoy glory and wealth." ”

"Sun Lang is benevolent and righteous, and he dares not to kill himself to repay him." After Lu Mian finished speaking, he knelt down and kowtowed three times to the south.

After getting up, Lu Mian said to Lu Fan again: "Sir, please go out of the city as soon as possible, and immediately report two things to Sun Lang, one is that tonight, Yuan Wei will personally lead Yu Linwei and the Chinese army to rob the camp, and Sun Lang can take precautions as soon as possible; Second, Yuan Nuo has handed over the jade seal of the country to Jin Shang for temporary safekeeping, and after Yuan Nuo leads the army out of the city, he will personally take the jade seal of the country and present it to Sun Lang, in order to repay Sun Lang's kindness. ”

Lu Fan was overjoyed and said: "If the general can win the jade seal of the country, it will be a great achievement!" ”

Lu Mian got up and solemnly said, "Sir, please go out of the city quickly and inform Sun Lang, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”

"Good, get out of the city here." Lu Fan gave Lu Mian a long look, got up and walked away.

(Dividing Line)

Almost at the same time, Lei Bo, a partial general, also quietly came to Chen Lan's tent, who was also a partial general.

As soon as Lei Bo entered the account, he said to Chen Lan: "Brother Xian, the general just sent a message to someone, saying that he did not poison the honey water, and asked you and my brother to try to help him clear his suspicion no matter what." ”

"Help him clear his name?" Chen Lan smiled bitterly, "Brother, now that the wood has been completed, Yuan Wei Xiao'er has obviously received the support of most of the civil and military generals, you and I are a small soldier, how easy is it to turn the situation around?" ”

Lei Bo said: "If you can't turn it over, you have to turn it over, everyone knows that you and my brother have a very close relationship with the general, we are sincere to Yuan Nuo Xiao'er at this time, but follow Ji Ling and Jin Shang to pick up a few bones and gnaw on them, secretly thinking that instead of holding Yuan Nuo's stinky feet, it is better to work hard, once it is done, you and my brother will be the first to make a decision!" ”

Chen Lan said: "Brother, you and my brother add up to only 2,000 people, and the difference in strength is too great!" ”

To be honest, Chen Lan is really inclined to lose her sincerity to Yuan Nuo now, and in recent times, Yuan Nuo has shown amazing courage and courage, which can be called a rare master!

Chen Lan even felt that following Yuan Shu was much more promising than following Yuan Shu!

However, what made Chen Lan quite worried was that he and Lei Bo were usually too close to Zhang Xun, and the two of them had been deeply branded with Zhang Xun, in this case, would Yuan accept them sincerely?

Therefore, Chen Lan has been swaying from side to side, not knowing what to do.

Hearing Chen Lan say this, Lei Bo's face changed suddenly, and he said with a cold face: "Brother Xian, do you really plan to lose your sincerity to Yuan Wei'er?" ”

Chen Lan hurriedly said: "Brother, what are these words, the younger brother is naturally the only brother who is the first to look forward." ”

"That's fine." Lei Bo said, "Don't hesitate any longer, we'll do it tonight." ”

Chen Lan smiled bitterly: "But brother, the younger brother is still the same sentence, you and my brother are still too weak." ”

Lei Bo heard the words and said: "Brother Xian, you are right, you and my brother together are less than two thousand, but Yuan No Xiaoer and Ji Ling together have more than four thousand people, including the most elite two thousand Yu Lin Wei, if you fight head-on, you and my brother are indeed not Yuan No Xiao'er's opponents, but fortunately, Yuan No Xiao'er died by himself, and he had to take Yu Linwei and Ji Ling's Chinese army to rob the camp, which gave us a chance to turn the tables." ”

After a pause, Lei Bo said again: "After Yuan Wei Xiao'er led the army to leave, there were less than five hundred people left around Ji Ling, and we beat him with two thousand people and five hundred, can we still fight him and not win?" ”

"But brother, don't you think there's something out of the ordinary?" Chen Lan said quietly.

"Abnormal?" Lei Bo was stunned for a moment, and asked Chen Landao, "What is abnormal?" What's wrong? ”

Chen Lan said: "The Jiangdong army is sharp, it is by no means the enemy of our army, Sun Ce swept the four counties of Jiangdong with his own strength, and he is even more brave, but Yuan Que dares to go to rob the camp in a desperate way, don't you think it is abnormal?" ”

"What's so unusual about this?" Lei Bo said disappreciably, "Yuan Kui'er was lucky enough to win two battles, and he was a little unaware of the sky, so he thought that the heroes of the world were just local chickens and dogs, you see, this time Sun Ce can beat him back to his original form and let him know what a real hero is." ”

Chen Lan said: "But the little brother always feels that something is not right. ”

Lei Bo said: "Then brother Xian, tell me, what are you worried about?" ”

Chen Lan said: "The junior brother is worried that this is Yuan Wei's trick, maybe the camp robbery is fake, and it is his real intention to lure you and my brother to do it, so wouldn't we fall into his trap?" ”

Lei Bo said: "Tricks? Pitfall? Brother Xian, you think too much, how is this possible? ”

After a pause, Lei Bo said again: "Okay, let's take a step back, suppose this is Yuan Qixiao'er's trick, his purpose is to lure you and my brother to do it, and then destroy our brother in a grand manner, but isn't he afraid that Sun Ce's Jiangdong army will take the opportunity to attack the city?" This is obviously self-defeating, would he be so stupid? ”

Chen Lan said: "Perhaps, Yuan Wei thinks that Jiangdongjun will not react so quickly. ”

Lei Bo was a little impatient, and frowned: "Brother Xian, you are just suspicious, don't you hear suspicion and become secret?" ”

Chen Lan said a little helplessly: "Okay, then let's think that Yuan Wei is dying by himself, and the five hundred people he left in the city are indeed not the opponents of you and my brother, but my brother seems to have ignored another person." ”

"Another person?" Lei Bo's face changed when he heard this, and he frowned, "You mean Lu Mian?" ”

"That's right, Lu Mian." Chen Lan said, "Lu Mian has two thousand men and horses in his hands, once you and my brother launch it, who dares to guarantee that he will not fall to Ji Ling?" Once Lu Mian and Ji Ling join forces, you and my brother are not sure of victory. ”

"I really didn't expect this." Lei Bo frowned and said, "Brother Xian, do you think Lu Mian will really fall to Ji Ling?" ”

"Very likely." Chen Lan said, "Brother, you also know that Lu Mianping's relationship with the general is very bad, will he watch you and my brother rescue the general and help the prince ascend to the throne?" ”

Lei Bo said: "But now, you and my brother are already ready to fly, and we have to send it!" In this way, you and my brother divide the troops into two ways, Brother Xian, you lead the main force to attack and kill Ji Ling, rescue the general, the queen and the prince, and the foolish brother is responsible for monitoring Lu Mian, after your side succeeds, you need to come back as soon as possible to support the foolish brother. ”

Chen Lan said: "Brother, wouldn't this be too risky?" ”

Lei Bo said: "Brother Xian, do you have a better way?" ”

"Nope." Chen Lan shook her head and said, "Little brother, how can there be any good way." ”

"Then it's settled." Lei Bo smiled cruelly and said in a deep voice, "Whether you can rescue the general, the queen and the crown prince is up to you!" If you and my brother succeed, you and my brother will make the first contribution! ”

Chen Lan sighed faintly and said, "The loser loses all the games." ”

Lei Bo frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "Brother Xian said all the frustrating words. ”
