Jiang Qin has always wondered why Zhou Yu recommended Lu Meng.

It is true that Lu Meng's military quality is good, but his qualifications in the army at that time were pitiful.

He was able to sit firmly in the position of the metropolitan governor because of Zhou Yu's letter.

In terms of qualifications, there are veterans such as Cheng Pu and Han Dang;

In terms of intimacy, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai are both from Huainan;

In terms of generals, Jiang Qin believes that he is outstanding in the army.

No matter how you think about it, Zhou Yu shouldn't choose Lu Meng.

At that time, Sun Quan used Zhou Yu's last letter as a guarantee to help Lü Meng ascend to the position of governor of the capital.

Lü Meng reciprocated Li by obeying Sun Quan's words, but when Zhou Yu was the governor of the capital, he had strong autonomy.

Zhou Yu was poisoned and died, Lu Meng was the direct beneficiary, and the indirect beneficiary was Sun Quan.

So all this is really Sun Quan's conspiracy?

Jiang Qin is not simply reckless, some questions are strung together and considered, and everything becomes clear.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Qin turned to look at Jiang Yi and asked a question.

"For my father, I admire Uncle Sun Fu Haoyi, and for more than ten years I have fought in the north and south for the Sun family, although I am not as good as Cheng Pu, Han Dang and other veterans, I am also a veteran of the Sun family, if Gongjin's death is really related to the lord, I really don't know how to face his family."

"Huh?"

Jiang Yi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Father probably can't see it, now Wu County has been occupied by Long Xiang, and many soldiers and their families are taken captive for him, I heard that Lu Su accepted Mrs. Yuan as a concubine, but Mrs. Bao seems to have been treated well."

"Huh"

Jiang Qin shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The Metropolitan Governor has been sick for a long time, and we haven't found out the truth, but Long Xiang broke the city not long ago, but he easily found the clues, it's really ironic to think about it." ”

"The murderer is himself, how can he find out?"

Jiang Yi snorted coldly, and then reminded: "The destruction of the Huochun clan was hasty, and after the incident, Zhou Shan coincidentally fell into the water, what a good murder, Lu Meng has been targeting his father so recently, isn't it the recurrence of Sun Quan's old illness?" ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

Jiang Qin's vest broke out in a cold sweat, and he muttered in a deep voice: "Recently, I have neglected the discipline in the camp, and I have not forbidden the soldiers to discuss rumors, could it be that the lord has murderous intentions?" ”

"It must be so, we have to think of a way out."

Jiang Yi saw that Jiang Qin had woken up, and he hurriedly leaned closer cross-legged, and his mood suddenly became lively.

Jiang Qin smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Your mother and brother are in Yuzhang, how can we retreat?" Only after returning from Jingzhou, let's see if I can think of going to Guangling."

"Guangling? Still vote for the Sun family? ”

Jiang Yi was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The Sun family is already declining, and my father has the idea of retiring, why not change people?" ”

"I am the general of the Sun family, who are you going to let me replace?"

Jiang Qin raised his voice and looked serious: "Sun Zhongmou has surrendered to Cao Cao, it makes no sense for us to vote or not, who else can vote?" ”

"Cast the dragon or not."

Jiang Yi saw that Jiang Qin's face was wrong, and hurriedly changed his words halfway through the words, "What does the child mean to vote for Liu Bei?" ”

"Liu Bei? You can figure it out. ”

Jiang Qin shook his head: "Cao Cao has an army of millions, do you think Liu Bei can stop it?" ”

"Uh, you say."

"It's not good to say it for my father, I'll wait until I return to Yuzhang and then make plans."

Jiang Qin already had the heart to leave Sun Quan, so he felt that he didn't care about the current task, and whether Cai Mao agreed or not, he was no longer uncomfortable.

Traveling to the waters of Xinye, he finally caught up with Cai Mao's fleet.

I saw that the river was densely packed, and there were thousands of warships moored, which should be all the sailors of Xiangyang.

Jiang Qin saw Cai Mao say what he meant, and Cai Mao looked at him in surprise, just like a monkey in a zoo.

"No, General Chiang, are you joking with me? Before the soldiers and horses moved the grain and grass, Lu Ziming couldn't even understand these eight words? What kind of governor is he? ”

"Hehe, I don't know about that."

Jiang Qin spread his hands, unwilling to explain to Lu Meng, anyway, Cai Mao didn't insult himself.

Cai Mao saw Jiang Qin's indifferent expression, and said in her heart, "Are you here to entertain me?" He was impatient and prevaricated: "Jingzhou money and grain want to find Kuaiyidu, he asked you to wait, then you can only wait, this general has the important task of besieging Guan Yu, and he will definitely not be able to return to the army to send you food, Fancheng has a lot of food, if you have the ability, you can also break the city and get food." ”

"I don't know where Guan Yu's main force is? Why didn't General Cai move on? ”

Jiang Qin did not bother with the food problem at all, but asked about the military situation at the front.

Cai Mao looked at Jiang Qin again, thought for a moment and replied: "General Cao sent troops from Kunyang, and successively recovered the cities of Qixian, Yexian, Duyang, Bowang, etc., Guan Yu rushed from Fancheng to the rescue when he heard the news, and now the two sides are facing each other in the area of Wancheng, but it is just a mantis arm as a car, and the disparity between the forces of the two sides is really huge. ”

"I heard that General Cao has 100,000 soldiers."

"That's right, Guan Yu only has more than 20,000 people, and he also left soldiers and horses to guard Fancheng, this is just a slight move by the prime minister, if the attack is blocked, I believe there are thunder soldiers behind."

"Hmm"

Jiang Qin pondered for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "Guan Yu's sailors went to Wancheng, why didn't General Cai lead the warship north, so Guan Yu is not a turtle in the urn?" ”

"The water stretches for hundreds of miles, the source is far away in the Funiu Mountain, Guan Yu still has a long way to retreat, and this person is extremely brave, he actually trained the water army in a short time, how can I, as the main general, be brave enough to be brave? Besides, the commander of this battle is General Cao Zixiao, and the Xiangyang Navy only needs to close this door. ”

After Cai Mao finished speaking, he found that the corners of Jiang Qin's mouth twitched, as if he was laughing at himself for not daring to enter the army, so he asked: "Your army also came to Nanyang to help in the war, why don't you go back and tell you the Governor of Lu and let him go to Wancheng to make meritorious contributions?" ”

"It's fine."

Jiang Qin was completely unaffected, clenched his fists and said, "I will tell you truthfully, Jiang will leave here." ”

Watching Jiang Qin board the ship offshore, Cai Maoxin said What is this guy doing? Bring a few thousand soldiers to pass a message? Huang Zu was actually destroyed by such an army?

Not long after the fleet set sail, Jiang Yi walked to Jiang Qin's side again.

"Father, let's come and go in such a hurry, I'm afraid that we will see Lu Meng's face again when we go back, why don't we take advantage of him to attack Fancheng, let's go back to Yuzhang directly?"

"It's not the right thing to do."

Jiang Qin shook his head lightly: "Let's find a place to stop for two days, and then go to Fancheng to join the main force, I believe that Lu Ziming will also pretend, Xiangyang is on the other side of Fancheng, let him go by himself if he wants to ask for food." ”

"Oh good."

The father and son of the Jiang family stopped halfway for two days before slowly driving into the Hanshui River to meet Lu Meng.

Although it is the beginning of September, it is already late autumn, and the ground and air on both sides of the Han River are humid, and the morning and evening are often filled with fog.

Jiang Qin's boat arrived near Fancheng, and it was dusk when fog fell.

The north bank of the Han River is hazy.

Standing on the bow of the ship and looking out, he found that there were many warships moored on the shore, and the number was almost the same as that of Lu Meng.

Jiang Qin instinctively thought that it was his own army, but after the hundred warships sailed into the heart, the warships that had been silent suddenly moved, and directly surrounded their warships.

"Oops, this is not our ship, order the ships to prepare for battle!"
