Chapter 13: Eloquence of Lummon

Last time, Liu Hou said that Lu Meng's official position was not right, and after hearing Liu Hou's words, Lu Meng was stunned, no one had thought about this problem, if it was when the prestige of the imperial court was still there, Liu Hou would not be wrong at all.

Such a first-rank military position as the governor of the capital can only be sealed by the imperial court, how can it be appointed by a miscellaneous general like Sun Quan. But now is a troubled time, the warlords are divided, the heroes are competing for hegemony, and the rewards and settings of official positions have long been chaotic, who cares about so many rules?

Eastern Wu and Western Shu still respect the imperial court in honor, but they are already no different from the two independent kingdoms, and the official position is not at the mercy of Sun Quan and Liu Bei, and they can be sealed as they like, and they can be set up like this. No one has ever asked any questions about this, and now that Liu Hou has raised this question, Lu Meng is really difficult to answer.

"This ......" Lu Meng was speechless.

"So, strictly speaking, you should be in the position of a protector, am I right?"

Lü Meng was speechless again, according to Sun Quan's official position filed with the Han Emperor, as Lu Meng, who was under Sun Quan, could really only do the position of a six-rank protector at most.

"Hmph, boy, do you mean anything? Hurry up and get someone out. Fortunately, Lu Meng was not stupid, he didn't lead Liu Hou by the nose, and still tightly held the theme.

"Da Dudu, you might as well join my father's command, my father is also a prince, a few levels higher than the marquis of Wu Hou, and my father is the emperor's uncle today, and he has a good relationship with the saint. When the time comes, let him go to the holy book, and beg him to really make you the governor of the capital, so that you will be justified, what do you think? ”

This is even more nonsense, it is Cao Cao who coerces the Son of Heaven to order the princes, not Liu Bei, so Liu Bei can seal whatever official he wants, not to mention the governor of the world. If you really make Lu Meng the governor of the capital, where will Cao Cao be placed?

Although Liu Hou made a statement to solicit, he also knew that it was impossible to recruit Lu Meng, who had left a great reputation in history, with his own words, he just wanted to take advantage of his tongue and delay time by the way. Yes, delay time, with his current strength in the city, he can't even stop a single charge of the Eastern Wu soldiers, and now he can only count on the more than 4,000 musketeers who are coming quickly.

"Hahahaha, ignorant child, I want to recruit General Ben, General Ben's loyalty to Wu Hou can be seen by the sun and the moon, and Wu Hou also trusts General Ben. Do you think that little trick you played would work? ”

Yes, the reason why Liu Hou said this solicitation was also to drive a wedge between Lu Meng and Sun Quan. Although the solicitation failed this time, Liu Hou's blatant words about this solicitation before the armies of both sides would inevitably reach the ears of his master, Sun Quan, and if he was a narrow-minded master, there was a certain chance that the master would be estranged and suspicious of the recruited person in the future.

It's a pity that as soon as Liu Hou said this, Lu Meng saw through it, and immediately showed his loyalty, saw the move, and turned Liu Hou's offensive into invisible.

Liu Hou couldn't help but be depressed, this is a personal essence, it's really not Wuxia Ameng.

"Da Dudu misunderstood, I really wanted it for your own good, you said that you can still have any interest under Wu Hou, at most it is a guard, and if you want to be promoted, you have to ride to Wu Hou's head. Besides, we are all courtiers of the Han Dynasty, you are right to be loyal to Wu Hou, but you should be loyal to His Majesty and the court, otherwise, wouldn't you become a chaotic minister and thief? ”

Liu Hou pretended to be stupid again, and he could only appoint Sun Quan to the post of protector to talk about things, and at the same time, he brought out the righteousness of the imperial court. Loyal to the imperial court and loyal to His Majesty, that being said, but how many people are still truly loyal to the Han family?

After a series of blows such as the Yellow Turban Rebellion and Dong Zhuo's Rebellion, Cao Cao has coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and the prestige of the Han family has been lost. Not to mention that it is in Soochow, which resembles an independent kingdom. However, it's good that everyone knows these things, but you can't take them out.

"Humph! Can your father be king, but my lord cannot be king? Maybe when my lord will also be called a king to play. When the time comes, what official your father can appoint, and what kind of official can my lord make. ”

"Shrimp? Thy lord will also be king? No way? Don't you know that Gaozu once said: 'Those with different surnames are not allowed to be crowned kings'? Does your lord want to rebel? Want to have a 'prince will have a kind of Xiangning'? Liu Hou pretended to be surprised.

When Lu Meng heard this, he chuckled in his heart, thinking to himself, something bad happened, he accidentally caught this kid's way. This kid was full of bad water, and he even set a trap for Lao Tzu to jump on. We have to find a way to remedy it.

It turned out that when Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was in power, he had made an alliance with the White Horse, and the content of the covenant was to ensure that only those with the surname Liu could be kings, that is, "the king is not Liu, and the world will fight together".

If he was careless, Lu Meng could hold it for Liu Hou, so Lu Meng gritted his teeth with hatred, and said angrily:

"Hmph, don't talk nonsense, my people saw with their own eyes that my 30,000 soldiers and horses of Dongwu entered Jingzhou City, why do you have to quibble, everyone understands people, there is no need to go around in circles anymore, you just say let go or not, if you don't let me go, I will immediately send troops to attack the city." Obviously, Lü Meng has now completely put Liu Hou on an equal footing and no longer treats him as a child.

"Da Dudu, don't be angry, it's easy to hurt your body when you're angry, calm down, calm down, say something slowly, don't shout and kill at every turn, that's not good, it's really not good. I'm a Sven, and I don't like to use force to solve problems, so if there is any problem, we can't talk about it, do you say it? ”

If the people in the "Ministry of Industry" heard Liu Hou say that he "does not like to use force to solve problems", they will definitely scoff, they don't like force, why are you building so many muskets and artillery? If you don't like force, why do you make so many gunpowder and thunderbolts? If you don't like force, what are you doing with more than 90 guns on a battleship? Is it used to hunt birds?

"Hmph, what else is there to talk about, do you still want to admit that you have detained my people? Whatever machinations you use to catch them, I warn you that if they suffer any damage, I will make you pay 10 times more. "Lu Meng is now sure that the 30,000 Eastern Wu soldiers who entered the city must have been captured, otherwise, they would not have been so silent, especially when he had already sent troops to respond, there was still no movement in the city.

If they were still free, the city should be full of murderous sounds and fires at this time, but the city is as quiet as a ghost domain, and this son of the world appeared in the city, and everyone wants to know what happened.

"Okay, okay, I remember, there are 30,000 Dongwu people in Jingzhou City. You see, I only arrived in Jingzhou yesterday, and my good uncle sent 30,000 people from Dongwu to come as guests to pick me up and wash the dust.

Although the gifts I brought were a little less, they were all swords, guns, swords, halberds, armor and the like, and I didn't like those things very much, I just said it, I'm a Sven, isn't it? How can you like these murder weapons that fight and kill, if you want to send them, you can send some gold, silver, treasures, beautiful women, brocade silks and the like, this uncle is really. But no matter how I said it, it was also my uncle's heart, so I laughed at it.

As for me, as a nephew, of course, I can't be rude, so I entertained them well, and they had a good time, so they didn't want to leave, saying that they would stay for a few more days before going back. That's the way it is, go back and talk to my good uncle, help them take a few days off, and let me, as a nephew, entertain them for a few more days as a landlord. ”

Lu Meng scolded in his heart, what kind of guest to wash the dust, what kind of hospitality to stay for a few more days, you just, even if you don't believe a three-year-old child, you dare to take it out and say, your skin is not ordinarily thick.

Although Liu Hou said shamelessly, since he had determined that his 30,000 horses and 7 generals had really fallen into the hands of the other party, Lu Meng also threw himself into a trap, of course, it is better not to turn his face, and if he can solve it peacefully, he can solve it peacefully, so Lu Meng also pretended to be confused and said:

"I see, let's go home quickly, Wu Hou has something urgent for them to do, and they can't stay here for any longer."

"Then I can't be the master, they eat and live here, they are happy to return, they don't want to go, they don't want to leave, I can't drive them away, how rude it is, give me the third mother of the Qiao family to know that I treat her family like this, and she will definitely beat me pp." Liu Hou continued to pretend to be crazy and stupid.

Lu Meng was so angry that his cheeks bulged out like a goldfish. I've never seen such a scoundrel. Obviously, you detained others and didn't let them go, but you still said it so beautifully, saying that people were happy and forgot to leave and didn't want to leave.

"Then please invite the prince to invite the seven generals out, and I will tell them."

"They're all drunk and asleep, and I'm afraid they won't be able to see you. Well, if you don't, you'll have to come into the city and meet them. I'm sure they'll listen to you when they see you. Liu Hou said while pretending to be harmless to humans and animals.

Lu Meng looked at Liu Hou's warm smile, but felt that he saw the devil's smile, this thief child, his heart is very bad, I really heard him say, go into the city, that is not mermaid meat?

"Then the governor of Pontus himself went and called them to open the gates, and I went into the city." Lu Meng is not a fuel-efficient lamp, aren't you trying to trick me into entering the city? Then I will lie to you to open the city gate, and see if you open it or not.

"Oh, it's really unfortunate, just now the little ones saw that the city gate hole was dirty, so they wanted to paint it, who knew that the city gate hole collapsed, you see, now the city gate hole is not full of earth and stones, I'm afraid you can't enter the city gate open. Alas, the tofu scum project killed people, I don't know which corrupt official was responsible for building this city gate hole, I must ask my father to check it when I go back, I don't know how much the project money has been embezzled, alas, the people's hearts are not ancient, the world is declining, and morality is declining. ”

Lu Meng heard that Liu Hou was talking nonsense again, and his heart became more and more indignant, you are making excuses, and you have to think of a better excuse, painting the walls can collapse the city gate hole, why don't you say that the person who painted the stone has refined the stone palm to open the monument, split the muscles and bones, and collapse the city gate hole with one palm, is there a more ridiculous reason?

"Why don't you do this, Da Dudu, I'll put a hanging basket down, you come and sit on the hanging basket, and I'll have someone pull you up? This idea is okay, it depends on your right and left hand of my uncle, so that you can enjoy the elevator of the Three Kingdoms period. ”

Lu Meng didn't understand what the elevator was during the Three Kingdoms period, but Liu Hou said that he understood what he said to let him go up in the hanging basket, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but feel a chill on his back, and the cold hairs on his body stood up.

If you are really stupid to go into the city in a hanging basket, you will really become a fish on the knife, and then this kid can knead himself how he wants, and his death is nothing, the key is that if this kid threatens the lord with himself, then Dongwu will inevitably suffer heavy losses. In that way, he will definitely become the biggest laughing stock in the history of the Three Kingdoms.
