Chapter 34: Moss's Dress
After listening to Liu Dou's self-introduction, although Yu Ban did not believe it all, he also believed seven or eight times out of ten.
First, this person looks similar to Liu Bei, and there is no doubt that Liu Bei is bloodline.
Second, the sword on this person's waist is definitely a valuable sword, which shows his noble status.
Third, the prison of the Guan family is not something that anyone can enter casually, he has been locked up for more than a month, except for Guan Yu's children and Nanjun Taishou Mi Fang, no one can take a step in, which shows that what Liu Dou said is basically true.
"It turned out to be the eldest son, but it was disrespectful. β
Yu Banzuo gave a salute, and secretly thought to himself in his heart, what is the purpose of this Liu Gongzi to come to see him?
Want to envelop yourself?
Or is it just to see yourself?
Or even to humiliate yourself?
But no matter why Liu Dou came, Yu Ban felt that he should say less and wait and see what happened, so as not to be humiliated like when he surrendered to Guan Yu.
"General Wen Ze doesn't have to be polite, he is here today just to see the general's demeanor. β
Liu Dou is not in a hurry to express his intentions, he came to see Yu Ban today just to get acquainted with his face, slowly figure out his mentality, and judge whether this person can be used by me, whether his surrender is sincere or has something else?
After all, it is a double-edged sword to use the Wei pawns who are forbidden to restrain the captives to carry the Wu army, the risks are huge, but the benefits are also huge!
If Yu Ban can surrender to the Han Dynasty with all his heart, and successfully restrain the 30,000 Wei army for my use, when the reinforcements led by Yan Yan and Zhang Yi arrive, not to mention holding the fortified city of Jiangling, he can even open the city gate and fight with the Wu army in formation.
Even if there are LΓΌ Meng, Gan Ning, Lu Xun, Jiang Qin, Ling Tong, Zhou Tai and others on the Wu army's side, Sun Quan's side effects can at least offset LΓΌ Meng, right?
And on this side, there are Zhang Fei, Yu Ban, Deng Ai, Zhang Yi, Yan Yan, Guan Suo, plus he has the advantage of being a prophet, and he seems to be not inferior to Sun Wu.
But if Yu Ban surrendered fakely, suddenly defected, and led the Wei army to join forces with the Wu army, then Jiangling City would be completely cold.
Therefore, as a last resort, Liu Dou did not want to make dangerous moves.
The use of the Wei army to control the capture of Yu Ban to defend against the Wu army was a last risky move, which could only be sacrificed when Jiangling was in a desperate situation, and Liu Dou would not take this risk for the time being.
After listening to Liu Dou's praise, Yu Ban showed a look of shame, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The general of the defeated army, the prisoner of the ranks, how dare you praise it like this? β
"Hey...... General Wen Ze's words are wrong!"
Liu Dou sincerely denied Yu Ban's words, "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, how can heroes be judged because of a war? Zhang Han is not an enemy of Xiang Yu, who has ever scolded Zhang Han for being incompetent? The overlord was defeated and killed himself in Wujiang, who dares to despise the overlord and not know how to use soldiers?"
Listening to Liu Dou's words, Yu Ban's heart couldn't help but feel warm, and a sense of pathos suddenly rose in his heart.
Since he was captured by Guan Yu in August, it has been a month and a half, and someone has finally been able to comfort his broken heart.
Yu Ban also thought about dying to show his will, but felt that if he surrendered and was rejected and then went to die, he would be even more nailed to the pillar of shame, so he was eager for Guan Yu to give him a chance to let Yu Ban prove himself again.
Liu Dou continued: "The soldiers are not tired of deceit, and they are full of tricks, in addition to the general's own ability, it is also related to the right time, place and people. β
"What Childe said...... Extremely, yes. β
Yu Ban deeply agreed with Liu Dou's words, because he was not familiar with the terrain of Xiangfan, he first suffered a geographical loss.
Then it rained heavily, and he suffered a loss again.
Pound didn't buy his own account, the main general, and went against himself everywhere, so he suffered the loss of others.
All kinds of reasons were superimposed, and only then was Guan Yunchang flooded the Seventh Army and the whole army was annihilated.
Becoming a king or defeating a villain, Yu Ban also admitted that Guan Yu's ability was far above himself, he saw more comprehensively and planned more thoughtfully, so he was convinced.
But Yu Ban didn't admit that he was weak, and he was defeated and captured, that was because Guan Yu was too strong!
In terms of the environment and climate in August, don't say that you can't beat Guan Yu, even if you change Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Zhang He, and Le to lead the three armies, they will inevitably end up the same.
The change in the expression on Yu Ban's face did not escape Liu Dou's eyes, and he asked with a smile: "What does General Wen Ze think my second uncle thinks will use soldiers?"
Yu Ban sighed and said abruptly: "The prince and the prince use soldiers like gods, and they have no last resort, and the ancient Han Xin and Xiang Yu are nothing more than that." β
"Haha......"
Liu Dou laughed loudly, "What General Wen Ze said is extremely true, my second uncle is the best in the world!"
Yu Ban's psychology is very understandable, I lost to the first in the world, so I am not ashamed, but I may be the second in the world.
But if the person he lost to can't beat Xu Huang, Cao Ren, or Zhang Liao, then he will be ashamed.
Therefore, in the heart of the ban, he even hoped that Guan Yu would take Fancheng and send Cao Ren, Man Zhong and others to Jiangling Prison in one go, and then everyone would be prisoners under the ranks, and no one would laugh at himself at that time, and the people of the world would only praise Guan Yu for being too strong.
Liu Dou continued: "Douguan, your Cao Wei general, although Xiahou Yuan is sick with soldiers, he is brave and unscrupulous, and he has already become a ghost under Huang Hansheng's sword. β
"Xiahou is a reckless man, and he can be called a defeated general. Zhang Liao's courage is just a pioneer talent. Xu Huang is steady, but indecisive. β
"Zhang He is only submissive, escorting grain and grass. Although Le Jin is brave in ascending the city, he has no talent to command the army, and others such as Xu Chu, Cao Hong, and Wen Ping are not worth mentioning......"
Since you want to persuade Yu Ban, you must first open his heart knot and gain his trust, so Liu Dou cheekily praised Yu Ban.
Therefore, the military general of Cao Wei is a leader in Yu Gong. The army was defeated and captured, just because my second uncle was too strong. β
Yu Ban admitted that these words were very useful, and the mood that had been suppressed for a long time could finally be relieved.
Although he agreed with what Liu Dou said in his heart, Yu Ban also knew that he couldn't admit it without shame, so he thanked him: "Gongzi praised Yu Ban falsely, and today he is a prisoner under the stairs, how dare he speak bravely." β
Liu Dou felt that the time was almost up, and said goodbye: "Dou still has important things to do today, so don't leave it at that, and come back to bother the general another day." β
"Uh......"
Liu Gongzi is just here for small talk?
This made Yu Ban a little stunned, and hugged his fists and sent him away: "Listening to Gongzi's words today, I am fortunate to have three lives, and I hope that I can talk with Gongzi again." β
"Huh...... In his spare time, Dou Hui came to visit General Wen Ze again. β
Liu Dou said goodbye and withdrew from the cell in a reluctant look.
Bathed in the warm winter sun, Liu Dou is in a good mood, and it seems that there is hope for subjugating the ban, so it depends on how to grasp his psychology.
"Someone. β
Liu Dou stood solemnly and summoned.
Shi Chang, who had been waiting outside the door, immediately clenched his fists: "Please show the eldest son." β
"To make General Wen Ze's diet richer, there must be wine every day, and it is better to add a stove. β
Liu Dou commanded with his hand, and the voice was very loud, deliberately letting Yu Ban in the prison room hear it.
"Whoa!"
Shi Chang clenched his fists and took his life.
"Which cell is Mi Fang locked in?"
Liu Dou aimed at Mi Fang again, preparing to execute the next plan.
Shi Chang immediately opened the one of the cells on the very edge, and when Liu Dou entered the door, he saw Mi Fang sitting cross-legged on the bed sulking.
Seeing Liu Dou coming to visit him, Mi Fang hurriedly jumped up from the bed and begged: "Eldest son, Fang has no intention of treason, and he is still begging for Mingjian." β
Liu Dou was noncommittal, and said in a deep voice: "If you want to prove your innocence, then you can lure the Wu army forward into the city." β
"Seduction?"
Mi Fang blinked her sly eyes, secretly thinking about the risk of this matter in her heart.
Liu Dou nodded and said: "Mi Envoy Jun claimed that he promised Fu Shiren to surrender by fraud, intending to ambush the Wu army when it entered the city and frustrate its spirit. Dou and the third uncle will act according to your plan, and if you bring Lu Mengyu into the city, it will be counted as your meritorious service. β
The matter has come to this point, Mi Fang has no other way, but nods: "Fang does his best, but Lu Meng has always acted steadily, and it is unknown whether he will be tricked." β
"In the evening, Dou Zi will send someone to ask the envoy to wait for Wu Jun at the gate of the city, as long as you do your best to lure the enemy, Dou and the third uncle will distinguish between right and wrong. β
Liu Dou's tone was cold and murderous, "If you make you play tricks, don't forget that your family members are all in Jiangling City, with the third uncle blocking the city gate, even if 100,000 Wu troops are difficult to cross the thunder pool!"
The voice outside the strings said very clearly, if you dare to collude with Lu Meng and try to let them take advantage of the chaos to enter the city, Zhang Fei can completely block the city gate by force, Jiangling will not be able to lose it for a while, and then it will be the end of your Mi family!
"Fang is willing to look forward to the eldest son's horse. β
Mi Fang hurriedly clenched her fists and swore to express her loyalty, "I will never dare to have two hearts!"
