Chapter 14: The Tradition of Vomiting Blood

Last time, it was said that Liu Hou "invited" Lu Meng into the city, but Lu Meng refused to enter the city alone in a hanging basket.

"Don't dare to bother the world, we bring our own tools. Since the son of the world is in trouble, let's go in and find someone by ourselves. As he spoke, Lu Meng turned around and pointed to some improvised ladders placed in front of the formation.

After speaking, Lu Meng raised his hand and was about to issue an order to attack, Liu Hou looked at it, he was anxious, he said so much in vain, and thought that he had the ability of Zhuge Liang's tongue to fight the Confucianism back then, and he could say that the dead were alive and the crooked ones were straight. It seems that this Lu Meng is not moved at all, and he is sober.

Liu Hou didn't know that the matter of his debate with Lü Meng this time would soon spread all over the land of China. Many people know that Liu Bei has a smart son who can defeat Lu Meng, a famous general and governor of Eastern Wu, in a polemic.

"Big beet and slow down!" Liu Hou shouted loudly, "My Jingzhou City is a small place, and I have already entertained 30,000 horses before, and the reception capacity has been saturated, and now you have brought tens of thousands of tour groups over, I can't afford to entertain them." Da Dudu, if you are interested in visiting Jingzhou City, please come again next time, next time I will personally give Da Dudu you a tour guide and take you through the streets and alleys of Jingzhou City. ”

"Huangkou Xiaoer, no matter how clever you are, it's useless, in short, if you don't let people go, I will break through Jingzhou City today and kill you without leaving a chicken dog!"

"Oh, Da Dudu, you are really murderous, this is not good, everyone is Sven, let's fight for a peaceful settlement. Then bring these soldiers and horses back first, and tell your lord, my uncle, to send a well-spoken counselor, and we will have a good talk.

If there is anything that can be resolved at the negotiation table, it is best to solve it at the negotiation table, so why bother with knives and guns. As long as my conditions are met, I will definitely eat and drink well and entertain your 30,000 soldiers and horses, and then it will be all over to Zhao, oh, no, to Wu, to Wu. ”

"What good results can you get from negotiating with you sinister and cunning boy, hmph, tell me what your conditions are first." Lü Meng stopped the task of issuing an attack, intending to listen to Liu Houti's conditions. If Liu Hou's conditions were not excessive, Lü Meng did not want to lose his troops to attack the city.

He is a general who cherishes the lives of his soldiers, and it is precisely because of this that he can be supported by the three armies and sit firmly in the position of the governor. If he could exchange some wealth for 30,000 troops and 7 strong generals, he would definitely agree without hesitation. After all, the matter has come to this point, and their sneak attack plan has failed, so it has become inevitable to bear losses, and being able to minimize losses is the most test of a general's ability.

"My request is not too much, your lord should fulfill his responsibility as an uncle, you see, he has never given me any gifts for my birthday for so many years, I just need to let him make up for my birthday gifts over the years." Liu Hou said with a harmless expression. Those who are familiar with him will know that this is a prelude to his attempt to trick people.

"Oh, that's simple, please let the prince go first, I'll go back and ask the lord to prepare a few gifts and send them to the prince. I don't know what gifts the prince likes, gold and silver treasures, silk brocades, jade antiques, and even beautiful BMWs, no problem. I miss Dongwu, the land of fish and rice, rich in products, and I will definitely be able to prepare a few gifts that will satisfy the prince. ”

When Lu Meng heard Liu Chan's words, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it turns out that if you want a gift, then it will be easy to do, it is nothing more than spending some money. It's really childish. I thought you were so scheming, but after all, you weren't just a hairy boy who didn't have any hair.

"Che, look, is there a shortage of money and women for a rich and handsome man like me? Whatever is in the world, my father will get it for me. The gift I want is also very simple, that is, the city, please ask my uncle to send me a city every year as a birthday gift, I am 12 years old this year, as long as my uncle gives me 12 cities. Liu Hou pretended to be innocent and said this.

"Poof......" Lu Meng was angry, this kid really dared to think, he had never seen such a greedy person, he had lived for so many years, and today he saw what a lion's big mouth is. This kid is more greedy than his son Liu Bei.

"Hehe, I don't know how thick the sky is. It seems that there is no need to say anything, it's just a waste of saliva, let's see the real chapter under our hands. With that, Lu Meng was about to raise his hand again to distribute the order to attack.

"Wait, wait!" Liu Hou shouted to stop again.

"Hmph, what other rhetoric do you have!" Lü Meng was unhappy with Liu Hou's repeated attempts to prevent him from issuing orders.

"Let's not talk about fiction this time, let's talk about something real." Liu Hou couldn't delay any longer, so he could only make one last move.

"As I said earlier, our Jingzhou City is small and has limited reception capacity, right? That's right, I also welcome your 30,000 Jingzhou soldiers to come as guests, and for this reason, I mobilized the whole city of soldiers and civilians, and everyone acted together to do a good job of resettlement for them. Liu Houdao.

"Getting to the point." Lu Meng was very impatient with Liu Hou's way of speaking.

"Since there are not so many inns, we can only spread some firewood and grass on the ground, so that the 30,000 Eastern Wu soldiers can sit on the ground."

"So what?" Lu Meng still didn't understand what Liu Hou wanted to express, after all, it was really nothing to make a bed with some straw in ancient times. The vast number of poor people do this, and Lu Meng is not a person who does not know the sufferings of the people, and of course he also understands this.

"In addition, we feared that they would have no oil to cook, so we collected all kinds of oil from all over the city, and piled up all vegetable oil, peanut oil, lard, and fire oil, and we generously took out thousands of spirits that we were going to sell to all parts of the city.

These wines and oils add up to a total of tens of thousands of cheng, and on average, they can get one for every three people, and they are all stacked around them, and they can get it as soon as they stretch out their hands. You see, how much we attach importance to the visitors to our uncle's house, and how hospitable our people in Jingzhou are. ”

Speaking of which, Lu Meng hadn't reacted to what Liu Hou was going to express. Just listen to Liu Hou continue:

"But Lu Dadudu, don't go into the city, these things are easy to use, but they are flammable, in case so many of you enter the city, it will not be good if you accidentally set off a fire candle and go out of the water."

"Silk ......" Lu Meng's pupils shrank when he heard this, and he gasped. Now he finally understands what this sinister kid has in mind, what kind of hospitality is this, this is obviously trying to burn his 30,000 elite soldiers to death.

"You, you, you ......" Lu Meng's heart ached, and he couldn't help but cover his chest with his right hand, "you" couldn't speak for a long time. He was worried about the safety of his 30,000 elite soldiers, blood rushed to his head, his ears "boomed", and he only felt dizzy, and his body shook and he almost couldn't stand on his feet. Now he finally experienced the feeling that Zhou Yu was so angry that he vomited blood.

"Da Dudu has to take care of his body, I heard that Zhou Da Dudu was so angry that Zhuge was so angry that he vomited blood and died. A lesson from the past, Da Dudu should not repeat the mistakes of Zhou Da Dudu. Otherwise, when it spreads out in the future, people will still think that it will be bad for our people in Xishu to vomit blood in your Dongwu, and then my reputation will be lost. ”

"Poof......" At this moment, Lu Meng couldn't hold back any longer, and a mouthful of hot blood surged up, and he squirted out. This kid really can't open a pot, it's okay if he doesn't mention Zhou Yu, just mentioning Zhou Yu makes Lu Meng even more depressed.

Back then, Zhou Yu was toyed with by Zhuge Liang in the palm of his hand, and finally vomited blood in anger, and on his deathbed, he also issued "Both Shengyu and He Shengliang." Since then, Soochow has lost a minister of the Pillar State. This incident made the whole of Dongwu full of resentment towards Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei Group, which was also a shame for Dongwu, at this time, Liu Houbian came to expose this scar, how could it not make Lu Meng angry?

(Archaeology believes that Zhou Yu was not killed by Zhuge Liang, and Zhou Yu was not a narrow-minded person.) The author believes that he may have had schistosomiasis, cirrhosis, portal hypertension, and rupture of the lower esophageal plexus veins and vomited blood. The above speculation is purely nonsense, and the author will not be responsible for any consequences if the reader listens to this conclusion. ）

The two soldiers in the back came up to support Lu Meng, one left and one right, but Lu Meng shook his hand to break free from their support and stood up by himself. After all, he is not a narrow-minded person, and after spitting out a mouthful of blood, he felt that the stone pressed on his chest was removed, and he felt a lot more relaxed.

"Good boy, it's really a good means, I warn you, if my 30,000 soldiers and horses have any damage, I, Lu Ziming, swear here, I will definitely swear to you, I will definitely let you repay tenfold!" Lu Meng gritted his teeth and said, now he didn't dare to issue an order to attack anymore, and now he was a rat trap, so he could only make cruel words and verbal threats.

Lu Meng's words were good, but Liu Hou saw his hesitation and weakness. With a hint of sneer in the corner of his eyes, he said:

"Why did Da Dudu say this, did Da Dudu bring so many people to my Jingzhou City as guests to maintain the stability of the Liu-Sun Alliance and promote good-neighborliness and friendship?"

At this time, Lu Meng was speechless again. In the final analysis, this time they attacked Jingzhou, they were the first to lose, and they were unkind first, so it is no wonder that Liu Hou was unjust. If you are allowed to sneak attack, will people not be allowed to set traps to catch you?

Occupy other people's important towns, annex large areas of other people's territory, and hunt down Liu Bei's sworn sworn to die on the same day, month and year (although it has not happened due to Liu Hou's interference, but it did happen in history, and it also proves that Lu Meng did have such a plan), didn't you think that people would swear to stand with you? But you did it without scruples, what did it matter if people captured your 7 generals and 30,000 soldiers and horses? It was so pale and funny to say such threatening words to himself.

However, Lu Meng is not a simple character after all, after he took a few deep breaths, he calmed down, rolled his eyes, and had an idea again.

"Hmph, boy, you will say that there are no soldiers and horses in Jingzhou City, and then you will say that there are, obviously you are a dishonest person. Well, in order to make sure that there really are 30,000 of our soldiers and horses in the city, I will send someone into the city to have a look, and say a few words to them, and ask about the situation. This way you can determine if you are lying. Lu Meng said.

As soon as Liu Hou heard this, he knew what Lu Meng's idea was, and he didn't want to send someone into the city to be a spy to find out the truth of Jingzhou. However, Liu Hou actually needs such an opportunity, in order to delay time and wait for the arrival of reinforcements.

In fact, what Liu Hou didn't know was that Lu Meng also had another meaning, in addition to letting the people who went in to find out the truth of Jingzhou and the real situation of the 30,000 horses, he also wanted to let the people sent out get in touch with the 30,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and if they could, they would quietly pass on the order to attack inside and outside, to see if they could find a glimmer of life through Guò in this way.
