It's hard to imagine that a mountain villa on the outskirts of Gangneung City actually has an underground secret room.

Lu Cong and Lu Ba were locked up here, and when Guan Lin first entered the door, their screams of pain could be heard in the secret room, and someone was whipping them.

But with the appearance of Guan Lin, the whipping soon stopped.

Guan Lin glanced at Lu Cong and Lu Ba through the door and window, even if he was covered in injuries, he was especially angry, and he looked half a point of submission.

Whew-

Guan Lin exhaled softly.

Then he turned around and told Lingju and his subordinates the details of the "boiling eagle".

"Often on the first day of boiling the eagle, the hunter locks the eagle with an iron chain and throws it into a tall purse seine net, and there is water and lamb meat prepared by the hunter outside the cage, and often the eagle dismisses this and shows tenacious willpower!"

"It tried to fly out of this cage and shake the net, but the hunter ignored it and let it pounce in vain. When night falls, the hunter will raise a bonfire and eat, while the goshawk can only glare at the hateful hunter with two blood-red eyes, just like the two inside glaring at you. ”

Lingju hurriedly asked, "Then what happens next, what about the next day?" ”

Guan Lin sat on the stool, "The next day, the goshawk became more impatient and felt the hunger in his belly, at this time, the hunter would diligently hold the lamb meat in front of the goshawk, but the goshawk still ignored the food, did not eat the food that came to him, and would only attack the hunter with his beak frantically, but it was all in vain, its beak was blocked by the iron net, and it bleeds... Come to think of it, these two people in it also resisted, right? ”

"Yes!" A killer replied truthfully, because he knew the identity of the person who came, and saw the intimacy of Miss Lingju with him, the killer did not dare to hide it. "The two of them broke free from the ropes early this morning, and they were about to snatch the weapons, and they were finally subdued by us, and that's why... We whipped them and told them to be honest! ”

"The steps are all the same." Guan Lin nodded with satisfaction, "The next most important thing is the third day, often on the third day, the goshawk's will has been worn out little by little in the confrontation, it no longer attacks, it just wants to rest, it is tired... And on the third day, the eagle man will wrap its wings, and then let it stand upside down on a wooden branch, the eagle is not a bat, it cannot sleep in the upside-down state, as long as it closes its eyes, it will beat it with a stick, not only sleep, but also give it a chance to close its eyes! ”

"At this time, the eagle realized that it was no longer a predator on the grassland, but a prisoner of the hunter's order, its mouth was full of blood scabs, it was helpless, the anger in its eyes dissipated, its tired body could no longer drag the chains that bound its wings, and its spirit was on the verge of collapse."

While speaking, Guan Lin glanced at the secret room through the window again, "Ming'er, you are just like this, you don't need to beat, you don't need to scold, you just need to tie them up and pile up the candles, but whenever they blink their eyes, they will wake up with a wooden stick and splash them with water, in short, they will not let them blink their eyes, so that their eyes will always be facing the strong light." ”

"If they can still survive, it will be the fourth day, and the eagle people will make all kinds of beast howls in the night, embattled, and then the goshawk feels lonely and helpless like never before, and its body begins to tremble, and the anger in its eyes dissipates, revealing a begging look!"

"In this case, even if the willpower is as strong as an eagle, it will also completely collapse, and the eagle boiler only needs to find the right opportunity to stroke his forehead, and then put the tender lamb meat in the palm of his hand, and in most cases the eagle will eat it in one bite, which also marks that an eagle is going to be boiled."

"After that, the fifth day, although it is almost finished, the hunter still needs to continue to test the eagle, so that its sharpness does not recover, and let the eagle stand on his arm, standing in the night wind, and neither of them can sleep, until the eagle is completely obedient."

Speaking of this, Guan Lin looked at Lingju, "Now you know?" How should it be tried? How do you pry a prisoner's mouth? After learning this method of 'boiling eagles', from now on, in the hands of your parrots, there will be no mouth that cannot be pried open! ”

Guan Lin will tell the process of "boiling the eagle".

This is a game between man and eagle, both sides are on the verge of collapse, and the hearts are constantly pounding and fighting with each other to see who can hold out to the end.

In the hands of the most professional eagle boilers, in the end, the eagle will definitely choose to compromise and will survive, but the grassland has since lost a rebellious and free soul!

Equally...

Based on the principle of "boiling eagles", later generations will also use this method when interrogating some corrupt officials or "fighting tigers".

No matter how hard they are, how flatly they deny it, but once they shine their eyes with strong light, they can't sleep... Day and night are reversed, and time is out of order.

Often, they are all recruited within two days.

Man is much more fragile than an eagle's willpower.

And this method is almost invincible in "interrogation".

Now... Lingju and his subordinates nodded one after another while reminiscing.

Lingju hurriedly ordered: "Why don't you hurry up and prepare the candle flame to illuminate this secret room!" According to the words of the cloud flag boy, he began to boil the eagle... No, it's boiling! ”

For a while, this seemingly ordinary farmhouse became busy in an instant.

Guan Lin glanced at Lu Cong and Lu Ba in the secret room...

He thought to himself.

- "Stay up for another day, it should be about the same, right?"

…

…

At this time, Lu Su was playing five poultry plays with Zhuge Jin.

This is the method that Hua Tuo taught Zhou Tai to strengthen his body when he treated Zhou Tai.

I didn't think it before, but after a long period of illness, it was obvious... Lu Su paid more attention to the exercise of the body bones.

On the contrary, Zhuge Jin's movements were obviously fast and sloppy, and his head was also sweating. Lu Su looked at Zhuge Jin and said suspiciously: "It seems that Ziyu has something in his heart?" ”

With Lu Su's words, the two stopped practicing the five poultry operas and sat on both sides of the table.

"It's news from Soochow again, right?" Lu Su seemed to have seen through everything, and asked first. "Hefei? Or Jiaozhou? ”

"I can't hide it from the Governor." Zhuge Jin sighed with emotion: "This time it's Jiaozhou, I don't know what Lu Xun means?" Since the capture of Jiaozhou Nanhai and Cangwu County, Wu Hou has repeatedly urged, but also sent General Lu Meng and General Bu Qi successively, and even gave a death order to attack Jiaozhi in January, before the winter solstice, Jiaozhou needs to be completely pacified, but... But this Lu Xun seems to have eaten the scales and has an iron heart, as always, he still doesn't move... What was he doing? What are you happing? ”

With Zhuge Jin's words...

Lu Su bowed slightly, but added, "Why didn't Ziyu say that Lu Ji, the patriarch of the Lu family, was captured by Jiaozhou Shixie and used this as a threat?" ”

Zhuge Jin looked at Lu Su in surprise, as if he was very surprised, it was clear that Dongwu's letter was in his hands, but the governor of Dadu knew everything about Jiaozhou.

"The Metropolitan Governor knows that Lu Ji was captured by Shi Xie?"

"I think, including Wu Hou, you all misunderstood Bo Yan." Lu Su sighed with emotion: "We are all from outside Dongwu, we are from Xuzhou, Lu Ziming is from Runan, even if we have been in Dongwu for a long time, but some things and some feelings within Dongwu still can't be understood!" ”

"For example, these big families in Wu County, they take their clansmen very seriously, let alone a patriarch like Lu Ji, if Lu Boyan forcibly marches regardless of Lu Ji's life and death, he will have a bad reputation and betray his relatives, and his clansmen will also directly defect... This is the reason why Bo Yan is unwilling to enter the army, Bo Yan, he has a hard time! ”

Lu Su sighed...

"It turns out that there is still this layer..."Zhuge Jin bowed slightly, he subconsciously blurted out, "I'm still thinking, Bo Yan shouldn't follow Zhou Gongjin, Taishi Ziyi's queen..."

He wanted to say, "Follow Zhou Gongjin, Taishi Ziyi's footsteps"...

But when the words came to his lips, Zhuge Jin was shocked...

No, how can you talk to the Governor of Lusu about this!

Immediately, he quickly closed his mouth.

But these words made Lu Su's cheeks sink.

He sighed in his heart:

- "Why does Ziyu want to stop talking? These... How could I not know?'

Lu Su doesn't just know!

That Zhou Yu's death and Tai Shici's death were originally completed by the four major families of Wu County under the orders of Wu Hou!

Under Wu Hou's order, his Lu Su's hands may be clean, but deep down, he still made a choice between Wu Hou and Gong Jin!

Perhaps, it was a wrong choice!

Thinking of this, Lu Su's face was a little sad, and he hurriedly changed the topic: "Isn't Ziming in Jiaozhou?" Don't let him misunderstand Boyan, I'll send a letter to him... Bo Yan behaved like this, Wu Hou was afraid that he had preconceived ideas, and he needed Ziming to mediate from him and say a few good words for Bo Yan... Otherwise, I'm afraid..."

Lu Su thought of a terrible thing.

He was so busy that he took the bamboo slips and quickly moved the pen...

Seeing Lu Su's nervous appearance, the inexplicable Zhuge Jin's mood was also deeply pinched, and he asked nervously: "Now that Wu Hou's suspicion is inevitable, General Lu... Will he protect Lu Boyan? ”

"As long as he could see my letter, he... He will. Lu Su's tone was resolute.

Lu Meng was brought out by him, and he knew Lu Meng best.

"Lu Ziming is actually not an upright person in his bones, but... He has the advantage that his scheming and insidiousness are only for outsiders. When Zhou Yu and Tai Shici died, he regretted it more than everyone else... He is the last thing he wants to kill each other! Therefore, as long as my letter is delivered, there is Lu Ziming here... Jiaozhou can't be messed up, and Boyan will definitely be able to keep it. ”

As he spoke, Lu Su had already quickly written the letter, he handed it to Zhuge Jin, and instructed him repeatedly.

"Be sure to give it to someone you can trust..."

"Good..."

Zhuge Jin hurriedly got up...

"Wait!" Lu Su thought of something again, "Ziyu, you have to go in person this time!" ”

This...

Zhuge Jin was slightly stunned, he felt that he had a lot at stake, so he hurriedly surrendered his hand and did not postpone it anymore, "That... The Metropolitan Governor needs to take care in Gangneung! ”

"You don't need to worry about me, as long as you handle this matter well, no matter whether Jiaozhou can be captured or not, you are the first merit of Dongwu!"

Lu Su's voice was already hoarse.

He forced himself to compose, but his back was already in a cold sweat.

Soochow has died too many talents.

Lu Boyan is the leader of the younger generation, and he must not be destroyed by Lu Ziming, let alone by Wu Hou!

…

…

A map of Nanyang County is hung in the court of the thief Cao Peng.

In the entire court, only Guan Lin and Zhuge Ke were talking, and they were talking about Nanyang.

Because, Guan Lin plans to go to Jiangxia in the near future.

Then Nanyang, which is handed over to Jiangxia, the economic center of Cao Wei, and Nanyang, which is an important place for grain storage and grain production, is a link that cannot be bypassed.

Either knock Nanyang down, or whatever... Jiang Xia had to be consumed to death by Nanyang.

It's about strategic planning...

Guan Lin needs to sort out the ideas here in advance before arriving in Jiangxia.

Therefore, Guan Lin and Zhuge Ke chatted very carefully.

Even the entire history of Nanyang and the famous figures in modern times are all mentioned.

Now... is talking about the 28 generals of Yuntai in Guangwu Zhongxing, there are 11 generals in Nanyang alone, and there are many wealthy families, which was once called "Nandu"!

Even in today's situation, Nanyang can also be called the existence of a talent pool.

Zhuge Ke alone can be called famous, belonging to Wei, Shu, Wu... There are no less than 20 civil and military people from Nanyang.

Among them, there are many famous existences such as Wen Ping, He Yan, Chen Zhen, Deng Zhi, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Li Yan, Wang Lian, etc.

"Actually, even the father of the current lord of Eastern Wu, Sun Jian, who is known as the 'Jiangdong Tiger', also has a lot of connections with Nanyang..."

Zhuge Ke continued to tell, "At that time, Sun Jian begged Dong, passed by Nanyang, lured Taishou Zhang Zhi to a banquet, and killed him privately in the name of 'the road is not cured, and the military funds are not available'. 'The county is shocked, nothing is wanted', Sun Jian naturally controlled Nanyang County! ”

"But just in time, Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo had a disagreement over the abolition of the emperor, Yuan Shao ran to the Bohai Sea, Yuan Shu fled to this Nanyang, considering the reputation of the Yuan family, the status of Yuan Shu's son-in-law, Sun Jian took the initiative to dedicate Nanyang as a 'vote of name' to Yuan Shu, and since then he has attached to Yuan Shu! Now it's hard to say whether this is a downfall, but at least... Two years after he was attached to Yuan Shu, he died in Jiangxia, if it weren't for Sun Ce, Sun Bofu and Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin, I am afraid that there would be no Eastern Wu now. ”

With Zhuge Ke's words, Guan Lin "chirped" his mouth, "Nanyang is in Dongwu, I can't imagine that there is such a relationship!" ”

I was going to continue to talk about the mountains and rivers of Nanyang...

Let's see if there's any place that can be used in battle.

But at this time.

Elk Lu broke in from outside the door and reported again and again: "Childe, the girl outside the door asks to see... said that I was asked to report to my son, and those two people were recruited? ”

"Recruited?" Guan Lin repeated, but he didn't react for a while.

But then, he stood up directly.

Calculated the time - two days!

Guan Lin couldn't help but secretly say:

"These two young people, can you survive?"

Immediately, Guan Lin ordered, "Let the Lingju girl come in..."

As the elk road went to pass through, Zhuge Ke was confused, "Childe? What is the trick? Do you need me to recuse myself? ”

"No, you don't." Guan Lin waved his hand lightly and said with a smile: "Bao Qi, do you still know each other?" ”

As he spoke, Lingju had already walked in quickly.

Really...

It is much easier to boil people than to boil eagles, and people's willpower is several times weaker than that of eagles.

It doesn't take five to seven days, it only takes two days, which is already the limit of what a person can resist.

Without too much politeness, Lingju said directly: "It's recruited, it's all recruited... It's Lu Meng, it's Lu Meng's two sons, the eldest son Lu Cong and the sister-in-law Lu Ba! ”

"Lu Meng?" Guan Lin repeated, and hurriedly asked, "How many recruits?" ”

"Still asking..."

"Let's go, let's go and see!" Guan Lin didn't forget to shout Zhuge Ke...

Speaking of which, Zhuge Ke has met Lu Meng's two sons, Lu Cong and Lu Ba, and the relationship is not close, just a nodding friend.

Now listening to the meaning of Lingju's words, it seems to be... They were captured by Cloud Banner?

No... You can't say that.

To be precise, he was captured by the Lingju.

Guan Lin and Lingju, their identities are different, and their behaviors are also different...

Besides, under the Sun-Liu Alliance, it is impossible for Yunqi to openly capture Lu Meng's son, which is very important.

…

…

On the outskirts of Gangneung, the claustrophobic secret room is still brightly lit.

The candlelight shone on the eyes of Lu Cong and Lu Ba.

The two of them had not slept for two days and two nights, that is, they had not even blinked their eyelids to rest once, and their expressions were now very depressed, their eyes were empty, as if their souls had been withdrawn, and only a walking corpse was left to be interrogated.

It's what a mental breakdown looks like!

And they... Still stiff, instinctively answering the questions raised by the parrot's killer.

"Say, Who told you to come?"

- "Our father..."

"Say the name! Identity! ”

- "Lujiang Taishou, General Huwei... Lu... Lu Meng! ”

"What is the purpose of being here?"

- "Hire a 'parrot' to investigate the identity of Huang Laoxie and assassinate Huang Laoxi..."

"Who gave this order to your father?"

- "I... I don't know, but... But it's expected to be Wu Hou! ”

As the sound of interrogation in the chamber came out...

Guan Lin, Zhuge Ke, and Lingju outside the door heard it clearly.

Guan Lin stretched out his hand towards Zhuge Ke: "Look, our Wu Hou is ruthless, and he has learned to hire killers..."

Zhuge Ke looked apologetic, and he explained: "I... My uncle didn't know about this assassination, I... I..."

The uncle here is referring to Zhuge Jin...

The instinctive Zhuge Ke still wanted to explain it for him.

"You're you, your uncle is your uncle, I won't mix it up..."Guan Lin patted Zhuge Ke's shoulder, "What's more, even if your uncle knows, it's understandable, he is the messenger of Dongwu!" ”

"Knock", Zhuge Ke swallowed a mouthful of saliva, although this matter has nothing to do with him, but he inexplicably feels a little guilty...

He... He actually vaguely guessed it.

Gritted his teeth slightly.

Secret Thoughts:

- "Don't let the Cloud Banner Boy misunderstand... Regard me as a villain who faces Qin and Twilight, and has three swords!"

Thinking of this, Zhuge Ke hurriedly proposed: "Yunqi Gongzi, as far as I know, Lu Meng is now in Jiaozhou, responsible for raising food and grass for Lu Xun and the Lu family, and the Lu family army has not continued to attack for more than half a month since the South China Sea and Cangwu were defeated... The entire court of Soochow was quite controversial about this. ”

After Zhuge Ke decided to abandon Wu and join Shu... He left some eyes on purpose.

He has a special channel and can probe some news and intelligence of Dao Dongwu.

Of course... This is the kind of semblance of intelligence...

At a deeper level, he had no way of knowing.

At this moment, Zhuge Ke gritted his teeth and proposed: "Lu Meng values this sister-in-law very much, and he values this eldest son very much, if... If Gongzi threatens each other with this, in the current situation, in order to protect the safety of his two sons, Lu Meng will definitely cut off the grain and grass of the Lu family's army, and if he cooperates with Jiaozhou... Launching a surprise attack when they have no food to eat... You will definitely be able to destroy the Lu family army in one battle! ”

Zhuge Ke made a suggestion.

Guan Lin held his chin with his hand and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

In fact, the appearance of Lu Meng's two sons was completely unexpected.

I thought I had a parrot,

Who would have thought that he had caught a big fish!

As Zhuge Ke proposed, in today's situation;

In the case that Lu Meng and Lu Xun are both in Jiaozhou;

At the moment when Lu Xun was subject to Lu Ji and did not dare to advance an inch, and the Dongwu court was already quite suspicious;

At the moment when Lu Meng grasped the lifeblood of the Lu family's army.

Lu Cong and Lu Ba, this is like a chess piece, if it is used well, it can kill people invisibly, and it can also make people desperate.

It's just that Guan Lin needs to confirm it again.

He raised his eyes and looked at Zhuge Ke, "Does Lu Meng really value his son so much?" ”

"I can assure Gongzi..."Zhuge Ke nodded heavily, and said: "Lu Meng is very good to young people, this is a well-known thing in Dongwu, in the past, a little boy in Gan Ning's kitchen made a mistake, that is, he fled to Lu Meng, Lu Meng hid it, and then Gan Ning came to visit Lu Meng's mother with a gift, and Lu Meng returned the child to him after Gan Ning promised not to kill this little child'!" ”

"I never thought that Gan Ning still shot this little boy! Lü Meng was furious about this, and beat drums to gather troops to attack Ganning... If he hadn't been dissuaded by his mother in the end, I'm afraid it would be... Even... Today's Soochow, Gan Ning and Lu Meng will only have one left. ”

Zhuge Ke continued: "For an ordinary child, Lu Meng will be like this, let alone his own son? He... He dotes on his son-in-law and values his eldest son, and has repeatedly asked Wu Hou for officials because of his two sons, and Lu Meng takes his three sons very seriously, which is no secret in Eastern Wu at all! If there is Lu Xun on one side and these two sons on the other, he will definitely choose the latter! ”

After a few words, Zhuge Ke swore by it.

He was afraid that Guan Lin would think that he was at both ends of the rat, towards Qin and Dusk...

He also spared no effort.

Merely...

Guan Lin's eyes were certain, and he said lightly: "If you take this opportunity to get rid of Lu Boyan, then how boring it is, it seems that we have a small pattern!" ”

Yes...

Zhuge Ke was stunned, and his eyes widened, "What does Yunqi Gongzi mean..."

"Actually..."Guan Lin's words suddenly became solemn, "Actually, from the very beginning, from telling Lu Xun of the Jiaozhou Shixie family's weakness, from selling them the Eight Ox Crossbow, I never thought of letting them defeat the Lu family's army and defeat Lu Xun, because..."

Guan Lin paused, and in the last sentence, his tone became serious and meticulous.

"——Because of Lu Xun and the 30,000 Lu family army, from the very beginning, I regarded me as Jingzhou's soldiers and horses! It is a great help for the Zhongxing Han Room! ”

"-Lu Xun, I want it, these 30,000 Lu family troops, I also want to... The ultimate goal of my help to Jiaozhou is to force him Lu Xun and the 30,000 Lu family troops to abandon Wu and join Shu! ”

Speaking of this, Guan Lin's gaze looked at Lingju faintly.

"——Now, the 'vote of nomination' sent by the Lingju girl and the parrot, and the two big fish sent by the parrot, are undoubtedly a divine assist! Let Lu Xun abandon Wu Toushu's grasp, I will have at least thirty percent! If this can be done, the Lingju girl and the parrot will make a great contribution to the revival of my uncle, my father, and the Han family! ”

As Guan Lin said.

This is Lu Xun!

This is 30,000 Lu family troops, which also includes a large number of Shanyue soldiers and horses who are good at mountain warfare, and these people... In Guan Lin's opinion, it is the backbone of the attack on Nanyang!
