Chapter 187: Lu Meng
Hearing this, Lu Meng couldn't help but be a little angry and said, "Are you humiliating me?" My lord is in your hands, how can the general of my defeated army decide his life and death, are you making fun of my incompetence and inability to protect him? ”
Liu Xun still only smiled faintly when he heard this: "My 30,000 army is progressing smoothly, and the momentum along the way is like a bamboo, Sun Quan expected himself to be invincible, but he chose to resist stubbornly to the end and refused to surrender, and he waited until he was defeated and captured. In this case, even if Ben Taishou really killed him, what else would the people of the world have to say? The two armies fought, and what was the reason for being defeated and dying? ”
After Lu Meng was stunned for a moment, he sighed softly, and said with some sadness: "Sun Quan has always been my lord Lu Meng, no matter how unbearable he is, he always has the grace of knowing me, no matter what, I will follow him, it's just a death." ”
"His grandmother's, here is another Zhou Yu? I really didn't expect that the charm of the Jiangdong Sun clan is so great, and all of his subordinates are heroes and heroes, and their spirit swallows the sky, is this my misfortune or my great luck? ”
Looking at Lu Meng, who already had the will to die, Liu Xun couldn't help but secretly become anxious when he heard this. This Lu Meng would really do this, just like Zhou Yu and Tai Shici before, by dying to show that he was a loyal person.
But there is always a difference between him and Zhou Yu and Tai Shici, because he is loyal to Sun Quan, and Zhou Yu is always loyal to Sun Ce. In this case, Liu Xun can only make a fuss about Sun Quan.
Liu Xun looked at Lu Meng, whose face was full of desolation, and said: "General Lu Gaoyi, Ben Taishou naturally knows the relationship between you and Sun Quan, but you should also understand the current trend. Sun Quan was defeated and captured before choosing to surrender, his resistance was not beneficial at all, but brought the disaster of war to the people in vain, he is a heinous person, even if he is sentenced to death, the people of Jiangdong must be applauded."
Lu Meng was very disdainful of Liu Xun's big truths, and snorted coldly at the moment: "Hmph, it's just a matter of becoming a king and losing a villain, why don't you say more." ”
Liu Xun didn't care when he heard this, and then said: "General don't worry, although Sun Quan is so unbearable, but 。。。。。。 ”
"But what." Lu Meng asked very eagerly.
"If you really want your lord to live, then agree to my conditions and surrender to me, so that you can repay his kindness. So far, you two are clear, and you can only be loyal to me in the future. As long as you agree, I will let him live, and Sun Quan has also written you a letter, which has clearly stated his attitude. “
"The envelope in Taishou's hand is the letter that the lord wrote to me?" After listening to Liu Xun's words, Lu Meng couldn't help but be moved.
Liu Xun was stunned, then raised his hand, handed it to Lu Meng Zhengse, and said, "Exactly, this is written by Sun Quan, let me forward it to General Lu." You must recognize his handwriting, and you will never be able to fake it. ”
Lu Meng took the letter, stroked it lightly for a moment, and finally opened it gently with trembling hands, took out the letter inside, and looked at it seriously.
After a while, Lu Meng put away the letter, revealing a slightly complicated look: "That's it, since the lord has already written to me, the meaning is already obvious, that is, he wants me to surrender to Taishou." In this case, it is enough for Meng to hand over this life to Taishou in the future. But I hope you can abide by your words, but if one day Sun Quan dies, and although I am already loyal to you, I will naturally not do anything to you, but I will definitely go with Sun Quan. ”
Liu Xun couldn't help but be moved when he heard this: "Ziming is really righteous and thin. Please rest assured, I Liu Xun promised you the conditions, and I will definitely do it, and it is difficult for a gentleman to chase after him. Of course, if Sun Quan does not rebel on this premise, I will definitely not hurt him, otherwise I will not be able to protect him. ”
When Lu Meng heard this, he immediately bowed and said: "Thank you, lord, if it is really his insistence on choosing to rebel without his own strength, and he will be to blame for his death at that time, I will never say anything, let alone blame you." ”
Liu Xun was overjoyed when he heard Lu Meng shouting the lord, this is Jiangdong's military second only to Zhou Yu's Lv Metropolitan Governor, this is a commander-level talent in the real sense, and his military academy will definitely let him guide and guide in the future.
"Ziming doesn't have to be like this, please hurry up, I intend to arrange for you to serve as the commander of a thousand first, I don't know what Ziming thinks?"
"Thank you, my lord, I will definitely bow to my lord's death and then follow myself." Lu Meng said solemnly
"Okay, well, there is Zi Ming, who can be the enemy in the world, Zi Ming has been in prison for a long time, and go down to rest first, and tomorrow you can go to the camp to select soldiers."
"Thank you, lord" Lu Meng accepted the position of commander relatively calmly. This comes from absolute confidence in one's own talents.
At this point, the three Jiangdong talents have been subordinated to the second, and only the last person remains, Ling Cao. put this person last because Liu Xun felt that this person should be the easiest to persuade to surrender. After all, he went into battle as a father and son soldier, and now that his son has served in his own army, as Lao Tzu, he should naturally be a little towards him.
Immediately, Liu Xun asked Wang Hao to personally invite Ling Cao to come and see him.
Wang Hao received the order and strode towards Ling Cao's residence. Standing outside the courtyard, Wang Hao heard the sound of dancing knives and swords. When I looked closely, I found that the person in front of me was not Ling Cao, but Ling Tong, who had been connected with each other for several times. This person is deeply loved by the lord, and almost everyone in Jiangdong knows about this matter.
At that moment, Wang Hao shouted: "Ling boy, why are you still here!" Where's your dad? ”
When Ling Tong heard the voice, he turned around and saw Wang Hao standing outside the courtyard, and immediately said respectfully: "Hello General Wang, the boy has come to see my father, why did you come here today." ”
Wang Hao smiled slightly, and said in a low voice after approaching: "Boy, the lord wants to see your father, go and ask him to come out, the lord is still sitting in the hall waiting." ”
Ling Tong was shocked when he heard this, and asked, "General, why is the lord looking for my father?" Can you tell the kid first? I'm so prepared. “
Wang Hao smiled and said softly: "The lord successfully persuaded Pan Zhang, the two generals of Lu Meng, and now only your father is left, don't you still understand something?" ”
Ling Tong was immediately overjoyed and said: "The lord is really a god, and even the two generals Pan Zhang and Lu Meng can persuade him to surrender." General Wang, wait a minute, I will immediately ask my father to meet the lord. ”
At that moment, Ling Tong was very excited and ran into the study, ready to call his father out, but Ling Cao, who had already heard the voice, had already walked out first. At this moment, he saw Ling Tong running in, and shouted in a deep voice:
"Such a big person is still so impatient, how can he succeed when he goes to the battlefield to lead the battle in the future."
Ling Tong could only be silently trained at the moment, not daring to say anything more, and silently followed his father out.
Ling Cao naturally saw Wang Hao, after this period of Ling Tong's Miao Shu, Ling Cao also probably knew that this person must be Liu Xun's beloved general Wang Hao, judging from Wang Hao's attitude towards Ling Tong, it also confirmed Liu Xun's love for his children from the side. Therefore, Ling Cao didn't hold his face and spoke first: "I've seen General Wang."
Wang Hao also politely replied and said, "I have seen General Ling, the lord specially asked me to invite you, and the general invited." ”
Ling Cao didn't make a little woman's gesture at the moment and immediately replied: "General Wang, please"
But in a moment, the three of them arrived in the hall, and along the way, Ling Tong repeatedly told his father not to collide with the lord, after all, Liu Xun is famous for wanting face.
This time, the labor division mobilized the crowd and led the army to Runan at any cost because Liu Ye lost the face of the lord.
Of course, Ling Cao was too lazy to respond to these, and now he has this attitude, but Ling Tong still can't understand it, and he really lacks some experience in dealing with the world.
Liu Xun, who was sitting in the hall, saw Ling Cao and them enter the hall at a glance, immediately put down the wine glass in his hand, and immediately replaced it with a kind smile, and said loudly:
"General Ling is still majestic"
Ling Cao immediately made a salute and said, "You don't deserve such praise from Taishou." ”
Liu Xunxi said: "Deserved, Ling Xiaozi quickly moved the stool for your father to sit down." ”
After Ling Tong came in, he also called the lord, and then stood aside obediently, and suddenly heard the lord's words at this moment, and immediately went to move the stool for his father to sit on, and he was still standing next to his father.
Liu Xun said with a smile: "General Ling, I really like your kid very much, I wanted to accept him as my righteous son, but you were not by your side, without your consent, I didn't dare to make my own decisions." At this moment, General Ling is by my side, I deliberately bring up the old matter, I don't know what you think? ”
Ling Tong's father and son below were stunned for a moment, but Ling Tong was overjoyed, and he didn't know when he actually had a good impression of Liu Xun.
At this moment, Ling Tong secretly looked at Ling Cao, Ling Cao also reacted at this moment, and glanced at his son, just as the so-called knowing son Mo Ruo's father, Ling Tong's demeanor had already been taken in by Ling Cao.
"Thank you for your love, I don't disagree, but Gongji has grown up, and it depends on Gongji's own meaning."
Liu Xun's heart was relieved, and he immediately looked up at Ling Tong: "How about the kid, can you be my righteous son?" ”
Ling Tong was clever, and immediately bowed down and said: "Thank you for the love of the lord, the public performance is naturally willing." ”
Liu Xun laughed and said, "Okay, call my father-in-law when there are no outsiders in the future." ”
"Meet the Father"
"Hahaha, you will communicate with Wang Shuangduo in the future, you will be a younger brother when you are young."
"The child knows."
Okay, you stay aside for now, and I'll talk to your father.
After hearing this, Ling Tong immediately ran to the side, but his ears were pricked up.
Liu Xun put his gaze back on Ling Cao, and said with a straight face: "General Ling, I know that you are a loyal and righteous person, and I couldn't persuade you to surrender before, because the foundation of the Jiangdong Sun family is still there." But now that Jiangdong has fallen into my hands, and the people of the Sun family have been captured, it is pointless for you to hold on. ”
"Thank you for taking care of me during this time, but the old Lord is still there, and I can't do anything treacherous. As for my son Lingtong, he has not joined the army to do things, I can ignore him. ”
Ling Tong, who was on the side, was nervous when he heard this, and secretly couldn't help but feel anxious.
