Today's Jiangdong is no longer like in Sun Ce's era, and heroes don't ask about their origins.

With the gradual cooperation with the Jiangdong family, with the withering of the important ministers of the Huaisi faction one by one, many middle-level positions in the Jiangdong army are now slowly replaced by children of the Jiangdong family.

And the captain in front of him is from the Zhu family of Wu County.

With an extraordinary background, he naturally knows Sun Huan, who was praised by Sun Quan as "Yan Yuan of the Clan" and had infinite scenery in the past.

At this time, a famous soldier from Jiangdong came to report to this Captain Zhu, saying that his trebuchet had been prepared and could release stone projectiles.

But it was his retribution that he wanted to ask for merit, but it attracted the anger of Captain Zhu.

Captain Zhu slapped the Jiangdong soldier hard.

"You can't die if you want to."

Captain Zhu's sudden roar and threat in his mouth frightened the unknown Jiangdong soldier.

After Captain Zhu finished beating and scolding this Jiangdong soldier, he immediately ordered all the soldiers present not to act rashly.

All the Jiangdong soldiers who were fixing the trebuchet immediately stopped all the movements in their hands, so as not to provoke the enemies on the city wall and make them make any unfavorable moves against Sun Huan.

After repeatedly ordering all the Jiangdong soldiers present not to act rashly, this Captain Zhu immediately ran back to the camp tent and reported what happened on the city wall to his brother Zhu Huan in the military camp.

...

Lu Meng, who was in the tent of the commander of the army, was studying "Ouyang Shangshu".

Since being admonished by Sun Quan to read more in his early years, Lü Meng has developed a habit of studying various classics from time to time in his spare time in the army.

The Book of Shang is one of the most famous Confucian classics.

Later, because of the different circulation, each Confucian had a different understanding of the "Book of Shang", and gradually formed different schools of learning the "Book of Shang".

Among these many schools, the "Ouyang Shangshu" handed down by the great Confucian Ouyang Sheng is undoubtedly the most mainstream school.

For example, the Hongnong Yang family of the fourth and third princes was fortunate enough to be taught the "Ouyang Shangshu" by the ancestors, because of the inheritance of scriptures as the foundation of governing the family, the family gradually began to prosper.

In order to make the family a top family in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the most basic and important condition is that the family must have the right to interpret a scripture, such as the "Meng's Yi" of the Yuan family in Runan.

The study of scriptures is the first step for contemporary scholars to formally enter the ranks.

This is the reason why many top families can endure and continue to produce protégés.

But such a family is only a handful in the world.

This is the unique politics of scripture in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Although Lü Meng was smart and studious, he studied a lot of classics and historical classics through his own efforts in his early years, so that his knowledge was not lower than that of ordinary Confucians.

But when he faced the mainstream schools of thought in the world, because of the obscure words in them, Lu Meng could not learn the essence of them.

It's like the book "Ouyang Shangshu".

Although Lu Meng got this book, he didn't know the gist of it at all.

Recently, Lu Meng saw Sima Yi in the tent, and the Sima clan in Hanoi was also a prominent family, and Sima Yi was even more erudite and knowledgeable since he was a child, and he was a Confucian scholar.

Therefore, Lu Meng had the idea of discussing "Ouyang Shangshu" with Sima Yi.

No matter how famous the Hanoi Sima clan is, it cannot be compared with the Hongnong Yang clan, so Sima Yi did not study the book "Ouyang Shangshu" earlier.

Now Lu Meng wants to discuss and study "Ouyang Shangshu" with him, which also makes Sima Yi, who likes Confucianism, feel happy.

Although neither Lü Meng nor Sima Yi had ever studied "Ouyang Shangshu", both of them were knowledgeable and intelligent, so under the verification of mutual learning and discussion, both of them had gained a lot.

Because he was afraid that Sima Yi was Cao Cao's envoy, and Sima Yi's own conversation knowledge was extraordinary, as long as Sima Yi was not suspected of leaking secrets, Lu Meng still treated Sima Yi as a friend most of the time.

It's just that in the process of learning together between the two, the keen Sima Yi found that Lu Meng was a little absent-minded.

And the reason why Lu Meng was absent-minded was that he was waiting for a voice.

What Lu Meng was waiting for was the sound of a large trebuchet shooting out to hit the city wall.

He was also waiting for the screams of the Jingzhou soldiers after they were hit by the stone bullets fired by the trebuchet.

The walls of the public security city are high, and ordinary trebuchets can break the walls, but it is difficult to say whether they can hit the stone bullets into the city walls.

Therefore, Lu Meng specially transferred dozens of large trebuchets from Xunyang City this time.

These dozens of large-scale trebuchets were completed by various craftsmen in Jiangdong with countless efforts and several years.

Since the day of its creation, it has been prepared for the kind of fortified city of Hefei.

Although it has been improved, the large Koto trebuchet still cannot cause much damage to the castle walls.

But it was enough to pose a certain threat to the guards on the city walls.

That's why Lu Meng will not let the public security defenders rest and be mentally exhausted for many days, and then sacrifice this big killing weapon in time.

Lu Meng expected that as long as this trebuchet bombarded the public security city for ten days and half a month, the morale of the public security soldiers who had not been able to get a good rest would definitely be greatly damaged.

Then the situation will turn in his favor.

But what he didn't expect was that after waiting for a long time, Lu Meng, who was in the big tent of the Chinese army not far from the front line, still didn't wait for the voice he wanted to hear.

Could it be that this large trebuchet takes too long to fix?

Because it was the first time to use an improved large-scale trebuchet, Lu Meng's heart was bottomless for a while.

But just when Lu Meng was concentrating on two things, and he was concerned about the front line while studying, the curtain of his Chinese army's big tent was suddenly directly opened by a general, and then he walked directly in front of Lu Meng.

Lu Meng saw that Zhu Huan broke into his big tent without reporting in advance, and Lu Meng was a little unhappy in his heart.

But before he could say anything to blame Zhu Huan, Zhu Huan bowed to Lu Meng and reported,

"The Grand Governor, the Captain of the Guards was hung on the city wall by the thieves."

Zhu Huan's words were concise and to the point, but it was this short sentence that made Lu Meng's face instantly become gloomy as water.

Lu Meng was so angry that he slapped the "Ouyang Shangshu" in his hand on the bookcase.

Mi thief, what a vicious heart.

No wonder, no wonder, there has been no sound ahead.

And Zhu Huan's words also made Sima Yi, who was flipping through the classics, almost tear off a page of the book directly.

Then Zhu Huan reported to Lu Meng again, "Now that this matter has been known to the general of the conquest, he and the generals are now outside the moat, thinking of rescuing the captain of Wuwei. ”

After hearing Zhu Huan's words, Lu Meng could no longer keep calm.

He stood up with a swish, and then ordered his retinue to fetch the sword given by Sun Quan.

Lu Meng came to Zhu Huan and instructed him, "Block the news, this matter must not be known to the soldiers in the other three-sided camps." ”

After finishing speaking, Lu Meng hurried towards the moat outside the public security city.

Zhu Huan, who was silent, took a deep look at Lu Meng's back after Lu Meng left, and there was a little apology in his eyes.

He didn't tell Lu Meng, only he knew about it at first.

Thinking of the letter sent from home, Zhu Huan was extremely annoyed in his heart, but in the end, he could only turn into a sigh.

Home country country, home in front of country.
