Chapter 446: Human Conspiracy and Providence

When Cao Zhen fainted, the Han army on the front line of Qingxu was boiling because of the fall of Jianye and the surrender of Wu. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The soldiers knew that the war was coming to an end, and the world was about to usher in the long-lost peace, and they could finally stop licking blood with knives, and they could finally live a peaceful life with their wives and children forever.
When Fang Shao heard this expected news, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, although all the strategies were carried out according to his plan, and the result was also what he expected, but when it was finally confirmed, Fang Shao couldn't help but be excited.
Since the beginning of Longzhong, it has been almost nearly 20 years, step by step, how many hardships, how many thrills, and now, it is finally about to complete this grand ambition.
Even though Fang Shaoping is as stable as Mount Tai, at this time, he can hardly suppress the excitement in his heart.
Fang Shao is still like this, not to mention Fei Yi, he has been worried about Fang Shao's refusal to aid Qingzhou, and he has an awkward feeling in his heart, but now that Jianye is trapped, the truth is revealed, Fei Yi Fang Shi was shocked, it turned out that all this was a huge net laid by Fang Shao, and his purpose was not just the land of Xuzhou, but to take the whole big fish of Wu in one fell swoop.
"Da Sima, you have such a peerless plan, why didn't you say it earlier, I have been worried for so long." Fei Yi expressed his complaint with a smile in a tone of admiration.
Fang Shao smiled: "I said a long time ago, the secret of heaven must not be revealed, this matter is very important, except for General Huang and myself, no one else knows." Even the 10,000 sailors who died were halfway through the sea before they knew what kind of mission they were undertaking. ”
Fei Yi was convinced, and then said: "Now that Sun Quan has surrendered, and the battle of Pingwu should be over, Da Sima is waiting to swagger into Jianye City." ”
Fang Shao shook his head and smiled a little weirdly: "It's too early to say that the war is over, don't you see that Cao Zhen still has 70,000 soldiers in his hands." ”
Fei Yi was stunned: "Da Sima is saying, Cao Zhen still wants to resist?" ”
Fang Shao sneered: "When the Wei State was destroyed, if this person accepted his fate, he would not have surrendered to Wu in Xuzhou, I expect that he just wants to take revenge by the hands of the Wu people, and now that Sun Quan has surrendered, I expect that this person will never give in easily." ”
Fei Yi's expression gradually cleared: "Since this is the case, then let's concentrate our forces and completely extinguish Cao Zhen." ”
The corners of Fang Shao's mouth raised slightly: "Don't worry, you don't need us to make a move, I have my own clever plan to solve Cao Zhen." ”
………… Three days later, Pengcheng.
In Lu Meng's marshal mansion, there was a deathly silence.
Since receiving Sun Quan's edict, Pengcheng has been shrouded in a tragic atmosphere, among the generals, some are angry, some are annoyed, and some are indifferent, but most of them are worried.
However, this anxiety gradually began to calm down after the Han army's offensive stopped and Fang Shao's announcement of the pacification policy of the surrendered former ministers of the Wu State to settle their old posts.
After all, Wu's private military system has its advantages and disadvantages.
When the enemy country attacked, the civil and military clans of Wu felt that their interests were threatened, so they were willing to fight the enemy, and when the country fell, the overall situation was decided, and the enemy country was willing to protect their existing interests, they would make a wise choice.
And now, the big boss Sun Quan has decided to surrender, and the new boss has made it clear that he will not move their positions and family property, so most of the old generals of the Wu State who are on the front line have decided to give up resistance and accept the reality.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have decided to obey the mandate of heaven and submit to the Great Han, I don't know what you think?" Lu Meng looked around at everyone and asked in a loud voice.
The generals responded with silence, after all, surrender is not a glorious thing, and there is always a trace of gloom in everyone's heart, although they are forced to plan to surrender to the enemy, but they will not shout happily.
Silence is acquiescence.
Lu Meng then said: "Since there is no objection, then I will assume that you all agree, and I will discuss the specific surrender with the Han army." Of course, if someone is unwilling, then I will not stop you, you can bring your own troops and horses back to Wu. ”
Everyone dispersed silently, and when no one was around, Lu Meng took out another letter and read it again, and he already had a plan in his heart.
………… On the way to Xiapi, a team of people and horses were galloping.
The first person was Cao Zhen, and his face was extremely bad, as if he had just experienced a serious illness and had not yet recovered.
"General, your body has not healed and you can't bump for a long time, so it's better to stop and rest for a while before you hurry." Xu Gai, who was behind him, quickly chased after him and persuaded loudly.
Cao Zhen shook his head and replied with difficulty: "The situation is extremely urgent, I must complete the layout before the army's morale is in chaos, I'm fine, hurry up." ”
Walking through the night, when the sky is bright, the outline of Xiapi City has been imprinted into view.
A few days ago, when Cao Zhen received Sun Quan's edict to surrender, he was attacked by blood and blood, and his spirit and body were severely damaged, and when all thoughts were lost, Cao Zhen was determined to refuse to obey his orders with the soldiers in his hands, and vowed to fight the Han State to the end.
At the same time, Cao Zhen received a secret letter from Lu Meng, in which he was also very indignant at Sun Quan's surrender, and was determined to refuse to obey his orders, and wanted to unite with him Cao Zhen.
After receiving Lü Meng's letter, Cao Zhen's spirits were lifted, and he immediately decided to come to Xiapi City to discuss the plan with Lü Meng as agreed.
After returning to Xiapi City, Cao Zhen waited for a whole day, but still did not see Lü Meng arrive, and when he was uneasy, he waited for a messenger sent by Lü Meng, saying that Lü Meng unfortunately fell from his horse during the march, and was injured on his foot and could not come as promised.
"General, Lu County is Lu Meng's territory, the general is going to go like this, what if Lu Meng has bad intentions?" Xu Gai expressed concern.
Cao Zhen pondered for a long time, and resolutely said: "We want to make a big deal according to Xuzhou, it is not possible without the support of Lu Meng, and this person is famous in Wuzhong, only with his help, we can try to order the army of the Wu people to help, I must go this time." ”
At this time, Cao Zhen couldn't take care of a lot, and in order to take revenge, Cao Zhen could only take this risk.
So, after staying in Xiapi for less than a day, Cao Zhen got up again and only led Xu Gai and other more than 100 horsemen to Lu County, west of Xiapi.
Entering the county seat, entering the lobby of the county government, Lu Meng, who was wrapped in bandages on his feet, hurriedly got up on crutches to greet him.
Cao Zhen hurriedly took a few steps forward to support Lu Meng, and said with concern: "Ziming has an injury on his foot, don't move lightly, sit down quickly." ”
After the two sat down, Cao Zhen asked again: "How is Ziming's foot injury?" Have you ever seen Lang Zhong? ”
Lu Meng sighed: "If we eat the food of being a soldier, we are not afraid of death, so what's the problem with this injury." It's just that the wound in my heart is really painful. ”
Cao Zhen could hear what Lu Meng was pointing about, and said ashamedly: "The enemy's ships passed through my defense area, and I didn't even notice it, causing the country to suffer such a catastrophe, I am really ashamed of Brother Ziming." ”
Lu Meng was relieved: "Fang Shao, this person is too slippery, it is really not Zidan's fault. What really hurts me is that Your Majesty is so bloodless and willing to give up thousands of miles of rivers and mountains to the enemy, which really disappoints our support for him. ”
Cao Zhen heard the indignation in his tone, and he had a little confidence in his heart, so he said: "There is no shortage of iron-blooded people in my Great Wu Kingdom, I believe that as long as I join forces with Brother Ziming, half of the people with lofty ideals in the south of the Yangtze River will rise up and respond, and my Great Wu Kingdom will never die in the hands of Han thieves." ”
Lu Meng nodded, as if he was infected by Cao Zhen's pride, but at the same time he was worried: "Although you and I have more than 100,000 male soldiers in our hands, there are also more than 100,000 Han troops in the north. ”
Cao Zhen said with a smile: "Among the generals in Wuzhong, the only one who can compete with us is Lu Boyan, but this person has just broken the Han army in Jingzhou before, and he will probably not surrender easily. As for the Han army in the north, we can pretend to plan a sneak attack to delay the time, but secretly send elite troops to the south to defeat Huang Zhong, destroy Jianye, and set up a new monarch, so as to stabilize the hearts of the people in the country in the shortest possible time. At that time, what was the Han army afraid of? ”
Lu Meng frowned and said: "Zidan's plan is a good plan, but it is a bit wishful thinking, does Zidan think that our delaying plan may have deceived Fang Shao?" Even if we deceive Fang Shao, can our soldiers and horses attack and destroy Huang Zhong in a short period of time? ”
The two points that Lu Meng said are precisely the most critical points, and there is no doubt that Cao Zhen is not 100% sure.
After a moment of silence, Cao Zhen said: "So, this battle is divided into seven points of human strategy and three points of providence, I am willing to gamble, but I don't know if Brother Ziming has the courage?" ”
It turns out that your so-called clever plan still depends on the will of God after all. It's a pity that all kinds of signs show that the current providence seems to be completely on the side of the Han Kingdom.
Lu Meng's heart turned a few times, and he said with a solemn expression: "Okay, then Lu Meng will take a gamble, and if he doesn't succeed, he will become benevolent." ”
Hearing Lu Meng's words, Cao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, and even carefully planned his plan.
The two talked for a while, and Lu Meng excused himself to go to the toilet and walked out of the hall on crutches.
Cao Zhen was alone in the hall, staring at the map and pondering for a long time, but he didn't see Lu Meng come back, and he gradually felt that something was not quite right in his heart.
Just when he was suspicious, suddenly there was a scream in the courtyard outside the hall.
Cao Zhen was alert when he heard this, and hurriedly got up and ran out of the door with his sword, but in the courtyard, a bloody human head was rolling, and the face of the human head was Xu Gai.
Cao Zhen was shocked, and at this moment, with the sound of a gong, dozens of crossbowmen on the roof, among the trees, and between the panes, suddenly launched.
At this moment, Cao Zhen understood everything, and his pale face burst out with incomparable anger, and he roared sharply: "Lu Meng, you treacherous abandonment—"
Before he could finish speaking, the arrow broke through the air like a flying locust, and in an instant, he shot the remnant of the famous general of the Wei State into a hedgehog.
