April of the ninth year of Guangxi. The eastern and western armies attacking Jingzhou were still unable to effectively break through the defensive lines of the Changsha and Yiling defenders, so the people who had been waiting for Liu Biao to be abused became impatient and disappointed.

Today's Liu Biao has regarded Lu Meng as a savior, and he no longer has the original doubts and worries, and when he encounters something big, he will basically take the initiative to discuss with Lu Meng, and the effect turned out to be really good.

Although Lu Meng is not as good as Zhao Xingqian, Jia Xu, Tian Feng and other strategists, nor is he as resourceful as Guo Jia, Pang Tong, Xu Shu and others, he also has several very distinctive characteristics, or rare virtues and advantages.

History records that Lu Meng was filial to his mother, and the whole country knew that Lu Su and Gan Ning worshiped their mothers, because they all admired Lu Meng. He married his colleagues and helped Xu Gu and others to raise orphans, and he didn't care about the personal grievances with Cai Yi and Gan Ning, but instead made good words for him before the Lord. When he was in military service, he was still diligent in his studies and studies, and applied them to practical purposes, so that he could become a generation of famous generals. Bravely beheaded Chen Qi, broke Huang Zu and Zhu Guang, and outwitted Hao Pu and Guan Yu. He was loyal to Sun Wu and devoted himself to Sun Quan's planning.

Idioms related to Lü Meng are: "Shibei three days, when you look at each other", "Wuxia Ameng". Lü Meng, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, and Lu Xun were regarded as the "Four Governors of Eastern Wu" by fans of the Three Kingdoms in later generations. Lu Meng is a perfect general who combines the advantages of "filial piety, righteousness, diligence, loyalty, courage and wisdom"!

In this time and space, Lu Meng also began to gradually embody "filial piety, righteousness, diligence, loyalty, courage and wisdom". He was worried that his mother had no one to take care of him in Jiangdong, and he had not yet established himself in front of Zhao Xing's tent at that time, so he boldly asked Zhao Xing to ask the Jin Kingdom to take his mother to live in Crouching Tiger City. It is becoming more and more difficult to naturalize in Crouching Tiger City, and it is impossible to obtain it unless you have obtained great merits, and Lu Meng made this kind of request at this time, in the eyes of some people, it is that she does not know the way to advance and retreat.

But Zhao Xing was unequivocal about Lu Meng's request, not only agreed immediately, but also asked people to move Lu Meng's mother and all the clansmen to Shangdang as quickly as possible, and even Deng Dang, the brother-in-law who took in Lu Meng at the beginning, Zhao Xing also spent a lot of money to replace it from Sun Jian's hands.

Zhao Xing's practice of "buying horse bones with a thousand dollars" immediately convinced Lu Meng. Later, in the days when he followed Zhao Xing, he gradually revealed his characteristics of "righteousness, diligence, loyalty, courage and wisdom". Lü Meng was very benevolent to his colleagues and the people, diligent in learning all kinds of advanced ideas and knowledge, could be unswervingly loyal to Zhao Xing, and had the courage to go to Jingzhou with heavy responsibilities alone, and easily changed the situation in Jingzhou with his personal wisdom alone.

For Lu Meng's excellent performance, human trafficker Zhao Xing naturally sees it in his eyes and is happy in his heart. Such a comprehensive and comprehensive talent, even if there is a group more, Zhao Xing is not enough, what the future Han Empire needs most is a talent like Lu Meng who is "loyal, brave, wise and trustworthy", and "both civil and military"!

In order to dispel Liu Biao's worries about the war on the two fronts, Lü Meng suggested that Liu Biao recall Liu Qi, the eldest prince stationed in Wuling, to guard Xiangyang, and then he and Liu Pan accompanied Liu Biao to Yiling and Changsha with a thousand close guards to Yiling and Changsha for condolences and inspections.

Liu Biao has been staying in Xiangyang recently, and he has really been given a lot of support by the King of Xiangyang in Xinye and his wife Cai, and when he saw that he had the opportunity to go out for a walk, he naturally agreed. Lu Meng thought very well for him, not only would he continue to accompany Liu Biao, but also asked Liu Biao's nephew Liu Pan to protect Liu Biao with the trapping iron guard, and also summoned the eldest son Liu Qi back from Wuling, presumably he had already thought it out and made complete preparations.

Lu Meng did make full preparations, but it was not what Liu Biao imagined.

Xiangyang City is close to Nanyang and not far from Luoyang, and has always been the focus of attention and penetration of all forces. Liu Biao was able to quickly stabilize the chaotic situation in Jingzhou, and the local families in Xiangyang, such as Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, Huang Zu, Zhang Yun and others, all made great contributions. But with the change of the situation, the important helpers of the past are not necessarily the current hardcore subordinates, because the background of these people in the family determines that their actions are always marked not by the interests of Liu Biao as the highest principle, but by the interests of the family.

Lü Meng had no doubt that Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others had already begun to "rebel" against some of the big families in Jingzhou, because if he and Cao Liu were to get along, Lü Meng would do the same. Cao and Liu represented the imperial court and orthodoxy, and could make promises to Cai, Kuai, Huang Zu, Zhang Yun and others to be crowned officials and knights, and it is not difficult to say that some of them changed their positions and switched from supporting Liu Biao to Cao Cao and Liu Bei. The longer these families existed, the more they believed in the so-called orthodoxy, and the policies adopted by Zhao Xing in the north were obviously not very favorable to the wealthy families, so they had too many reasons to defect to the imperial court instead of Liu Biao, who now had an ambiguous attitude.

In fact, even if Liu Biao himself hadn't been forced into a corner, unwilling to let the family business he had worked hard for many years easily pick peaches, he really couldn't swallow this mouthful, and he might not have accepted the assistance of the Jin Kingdom and Zhao Xing's kindness. Liu Biao is not a fool, why can't he see that Lu Meng came to support Jingzhou because of the strategic considerations of the Jin State itself?

Not long ago, Zhao Xing sent a secret letter to Lü Meng, reminding Lü Meng to pay attention to ways and means, find a way to control the rhythm of Jingzhou's defensive battle, and never expose all the strength of Jingzhou prematurely, let alone reveal the determination of the Jin State to prepare to support Jingzhou unconditionally, so as not to alarm Sun Jian and Sima Yi, making it difficult to achieve Jingzhou's goal of attracting many troops.

Lu Meng thought about it again and again, and felt that it was really not easy to realize Zhao Xing's request. This is like playing with two opponents whose martial arts are weaker than you, you can't take it lightly, and you can't use a big killing move to scare the opponent into retreating.

Of course, Zhao Xing's request was not difficult for the smart and intelligent Lu Ziming, who saw a breakthrough in solving the problem from the undercurrent of Xiangyang City.

Liu Biao sits in Xiangyang, and all the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods are jealous, and those families who secretly want to take refuge in the imperial court also have to weigh the tens of thousands of troops in Liu Biao's hands and the two thousand iron guards who seem to be like wolves. But if Liu Biao leaves Xiangyang, and takes away half of the iron guards, and only lets the honest and honest eldest son Liu Qi sit in Xiangyang, the situation will be different.

Lü Meng believed that as soon as Liu Biao and himself left Xiangyang, all forces would immediately take action and want to create various opportunities in Xiangyang. As long as there is a situation in Xiangyang, which makes Sun Jian and Sima Yi feel that Liu Biao's nest has been lost, they will naturally not easily give up this excellent opportunity, not only will they not withdraw their troops, but they will also intensify their offensive against Jingzhou.

Lu Meng's trick is very risky, but it is also full of temptation/temptation, and it is extremely hidden, if it can really be realized, I am afraid that many people will be unlucky at that time!
