When Yizhou tends to be calm, Huainan is in full bloom!

Zhou Yu transferred the water army to feint to attack the mouth of the Guangling River, led a large army to attack the Huaihe estuary and Haixi in the coastal area, and divided his troops to take salt and desecrate to control the coastal area of Huainan.

When Xiahoudun sent troops back to help, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin led the naval army to the north, from Gaoyou Lake to Huaiyin, and the two routes of soldiers and horses echoed north and south, occupying the south of Guangling.

Later, Zhou Yu pretended to wave his army to the north and attacked Donghai County, Xiahou saw that the Wu army raided Xuzhou, and urgently asked Shouchun for help, and the Cao army was basically unfortified along the coast, and personally led the troops to the north to support.

Just when Cao's army was transferred to the coastal area, Cheng Pu led Wu's army to attack Hefei in three ways, and Zhou Yu led the navy army to advance westward along the Huai River and besiege Shouchun.

Sun Quan heard the great news in Jianye, and decided to cross the river to the north again, go to Hefei to inspire the three armies, and win Shouchun in one go.

The Wu army prepared in March, ready to go, and took Huainan in only one month, and Cao Cao left Chang'an half a month ago, and if he acted late, he might have to give up all his efforts.

Just when Sun Quan arrived at Chaohu, suddenly Jiangdong reported that Wu Guotai was critically ill and had to rush home again.

Wu Guotai told Sun Quan to serve Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu with the courtesy of his master, and entrusted his sister Mrs. Wu to Sun Quan, so that he should be gracious and respectful.

Sun Quan held a funeral for Wu Guotai, and all the Jianye officials were filial piety, but most of the civil and military forces were out on the march, and the formation was not strong enough.

Zhang Zhaoyan said: "The lord is a prince, the fate of the country is over, and the whole country mourns, so it is not appropriate to use swords and soldiers in vain." When the herald ordered an immediate truce, he was transferred back to the Metropolitan Governor, that is, the generals, and buried with a state ceremony. ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard a person say loudly: "Today, the army is outgoing, and the momentum is like a torrent, how can it be collected?" The pacification of Huainan is just around the corner, and if the troops are withdrawn at this time, won't it fall short? Zhang Gong's words are misleading the country. ”

Zhang Zhao turned his head to see that it was the newly promoted military general Lu Meng, and said angrily: "I am entrusted by the country, the foundation of Jiangdong, Ruhuangkou is a child, a martial artist, and I know the major national affairs?" ”

Lu Meng said coldly: "The Art of War: One blow, then decline, three and exhaustion!" At this time, if you don't take advantage of the situation to take Shouchun, when Cao Cao's reinforcements arrive, how to defend Huainan? Huainan is lost, and Cao's army is coming to fight in the river, so he has to surrender again, what is Zhang Gong's intention? ”

"Presumptuous!" Zhang Zhao was furious, "The new mourning of the mother of the country, the whole country mourns, this is the gift of the country, the lord and even the filial piety, how can the etiquette be abolished?" ”

Lu Meng hugged his fists and said: "I know the etiquette when I hear Cangxiao, and I know the honor and disgrace when I have enough food and clothing!" Now Jiangdong's safety is all in Huainan in a battle, at this time to retreat, when Cao's army crosses the river, Jiangdong is in an emergency, the people are uneasy, I don't know if Cao thief is willing to talk to Zhang Gong about etiquette? ”

"You...... The younger generation is so arrogant, how can it be reasonable! Zhang Zhao was so angry that he trembled, turned to Sun Quan and hugged his fists and said, "Such a rude maniac, you should be killed!" ”

In the past, Cheng Pu and Zhou Yu dared to confront him face to face, but now even a small general is so arrogant, how can Zhang Zhao bear it?

Lu Su hurriedly persuaded: "Guotai told him on his deathbed that he wanted us to wait for civil and military harmony and work together to protect the foundation of Jiangdong. Now that the coffin is in the hall, the two of them quarrel like this, what kind of system has it become? ”

Zhang Zhao said angrily: "The erector is not enough to conspiracy, I am the minister of Tuogu, and An Neng is in the same column as the reckless man?" ”

Lu Meng has long been unaccustomed to Zhang Zhao's old and betraying the old, and he only wants to avoid things when he encounters problems, but now he has been promoted by Sun Quan, seeing that Sun Quan does not speak, he also has some confidence in his heart, although Lu Su repeatedly hinted, but he refused to give in and apologize with a cold face.

"Young people, don't be too aggressive!" Just when the situation was deadlocked, Mrs. Wu came out of the mourning hall and said slowly: "The two of you are both thinking about Jiangdong, there is no right or wrong, according to the old body, the war cannot be stopped, and the etiquette cannot be abolished." ”

Only then did Sun Quan ask, "I don't know what my mother thinks?" ”

Mrs. Wu said: "The funeral will be held as scheduled, but there is no need to alarm the governor, waiting for the victory of Huainan, and then offering incense in front of the spirit, it is the best comfort for the spirit of the country in the sky." ”

"Mother's words are very true!" Sun Quan appeased the two and held a funeral ceremony for Wu Guotai, but did not report to Zhou Yu.

After the funeral, Sun Quan took Mrs. Wu out of the back garden and held a banquet to meet with the civil and military, still calling Wu Guotai.

"After thirty years, I finally came out!" Mrs. Wu stood in front of the Hou Mansion, her eyes swept around, and she asked slowly, "Do you know how I have spent the past thirty years?" ”

Sun Quan was stunned: "Mother planted flowers in the back garden to maintain her health, taught me and others, didn't she enjoy it?" ”

Mrs. Wu chuckled and said, "The canary cries in the cage and sings happily, that's just the pleasure of the bird keeper." ”

Sun Quan didn't know why: "Why did my mother say this? ”

"It's just a moment of emotion!" Mrs. Wu sighed and said with a smile: "As long as my son secures Jiangdong and carries forward this foundation, my heart will be at ease!" ”

While chatting, news came from the front that Zhou Yu had supervised the siege of Shouchun by the Fourth Route Army, and Cao Cao was rushing from Xuchang to support.

Sun Quan asked Lu Su to discuss the matter, and decided to send Lü Meng to lead troops to support, take Shouchun as soon as possible, and pacify Huainan so that the defense line could be deployed in time.

Lu Su saw Lu Meng again, saw that his temperament was different from the past, and remembered that day when he argued with Zhang Zhao, quoted scriptures, and did not fall behind at all, and said in surprise: "I thought I was a general but I had a martial arts ear, and I haven't seen him for a few months, but my knowledge has risen greatly, and I am no longer the Wuxia Ameng of the past!" ”

Lu Meng hugged his fists and said: "The whole battle is the master's point to carry it, and I will learn from the beginning, but I just have a glimpse of the door, Guan Yu is long and studious, why don't I do it?" ”

Sun Quan smiled with relief: "Shibei three days, when you look at each other, Ziming can be studious, which shows that the children can be taught, and I have a successor in Jiangdong." ”

So he went to the back hall to discuss with Wu Guotai, and if he wanted to practice the preface, he wanted to give the family heirloom "The Art of War" model to Lu Meng.

Mrs. Wu personally summoned Lu Meng and praised: "General Lu is worthy of my Jiangdong brave general, and it is really commendable that he does not succumb to the old situation of the old ministers." ”

Lu Meng hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "That day, I was impulsive, which made Guotai laugh." ”

"Young people's blood is inevitable!" Mrs. Wu said with a smile: "I have a box of pineapple crisp here, especially for the general, the general will go here to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, so as to block the mouth of the people." ”

Lu Meng was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Mrs. Jiuwen makes pineapple cake is a must, and you can't taste it if you are not a close relative, and you will never let down Guotai and Wu Hou Houen." ”

"Get up!" Mrs. Wu nodded with satisfaction, ordered someone to send a brocade box, and advised: "In recent years, my hands have been trembling and my eyes have become less and less, only four, and the general should save it." But don't be reluctant to eat, otherwise it will be spoiled, and I will make more on the day of the general's class. ”

"Thank you!" Lu Meng excitedly took the food box, said goodbye to Guotai, and showed off to Lu Su when he came to the front hall.

Lu Su stroked his beard and sighed: "I have followed Wu Hou for many years, and I have only eaten a pineapple cake, Ziming took a box at one time, but do you want to share one with me?" ”

"That's not going to work!" Lu Meng hurriedly turned around, like a dog guarding food, "No one is allowed to touch it!" ”

Sun Quan shook his head and smiled, and gave him "The Art of War", instructing: "It is inconvenient for me to lead the troops in mourning, and I will go to the Ming Dynasty to inspire the three armies and help Gongjin." ”

Lu Meng took the order, held a large box and a small box, and left Jianye with a lot of money.
