Lu Yi saw that Chen Deng was so angry, and hurriedly pulled down his sleeve and motioned for him to be quieter.

Chen Deng suppressed his anger and apologized to Lu Yi: "Marquis Wu, forgive your sins." I was really angry with him, he not only let Lu Meng go, but also instigated Xu Sheng away! ”

"Xu Sheng's sin is not to death, but he has to suffer some flesh and skin."

"He's clearly clever in front of us!"

"He knew the relationship between Xu Sheng and Wu Hou, and thought that Wu Hou would not kill Xu Sheng, so he did it on purpose, so that Wu Hou would take care of Xu Sheng and would not chase and beat Lu Meng."

Lu Yi nodded and said, "This matter is handled alone, you can dissipate your anger first." ”

As he spoke, he asked his subordinates to bring tea and poured Chen Deng a cup in person.

Chen Deng hurriedly said: "Wu Hou, how can this be made!" You're dignified Marquis Wu—"

Lu Yi smiled: "Make it!" You are the general of my Jiangdong Army, so hard, just drink a cup of tea. ”

Chen Deng's face showed a look of gratitude and said, "Then, Xie Wuhou!" ”

Lu Yi watched Chen Deng take a sip of tea, and then asked in a low voice, "Is there a way to save it?" Although this behavior is indeed hateful, however, people's hearts are made of flesh. ”

"In other words, if Zhuge Liang has done anything wrong, and he has not yet married a wife and has no heirs, Gu, as a brother-in-law, will try his best to protect him."

"Of course, although it is impossible, if it is Yuanlong and you have younger brothers and sisters who have done something wrong, as long as it is not to the point of being punished, Lone will try his best to help you."

Chen Deng looked at Lu Yi, and his emotions were complicated for a while.

Such a lord is indeed benevolent and righteous enough.

Moreover, it is also good for subordinates.

However, if he wants to dominate the world, he still hopes that Lu Yi will be more cold-blooded.

But then again.

When you are really cold-blooded, the problem falls on your own head, and your life is difficult to protect, that is another matter.

Thinking of this, Chen Deng took a deep breath and said, "Wu Hou has to be saved?" ”

Deng Dang hurriedly raised his head and glanced at Lu Yi.

Chen Deng glared angrily.

Deng Dang hurriedly crawled to the ground again.

Lu Yi nodded, and said with a serious face: "If you can save it, you can save it!" ”

Chen Deng sighed and said, "It's okay to save." ”

"This Lu Meng, although I haven't seen it, but he can guess my mind, and he can be regarded as a very strategic person."

"I Jiangdong took Jingzhou, and I need a lot of generals."

"It's just that this is a precedent, and in the future, everyone will come to ask Wu Hou if they make a mistake, so what should I do?"

Lu Yi said in a deep voice: "I'll let you deal with things in the future." However, there is one criterion for grasping the whole, that is, not to connect and not to exterminate the race. Whoever commits a crime will get whomever he wants, and then Gu will never interfere. ”

Chen Deng smiled: "Okay! Since you said this, Marquis Wu, I'm a courtier, can I continue to be stubborn? In fact, this matter is also very simple. ”

"Originally, according to the plan, at noon today, in front of the entire Jingzhou scholar clan in the Xiangyang vegetable market, Lu Meng was executed."

"The people who go to the prison to behead, Wu Hou is not among them."

"After all, even if it is Jingzhou Mu, his status is under Wu Hou."

"The person who supervised the beheading was originally set to have me, Cheng Pu, the governor of the left, and Zhu Zhi, the governor of the right."

"Since Wu Hou wants to protect this Lu Meng, then, later, Wu Hou will go with hundreds of civil and military officials."

"First, this can let the Jingzhou scholars see that Wu Hou attaches great importance to this matter."

"Second, under such attention, the Jingzhou Shi clan does not dare to be too public, and will be restrained."

"At that time, I will have Lu Meng and Xu Sheng brought out from the dungeon first."

"Let everyone see that the two of them were indeed the ones who killed Liu Cong of Jingzhou at that time."

"When I get to the exit of the cell, I will arrange for someone to make a quick move to replace a deaf and dumb death row prisoner with Lu Meng and put on a hood."

"At the time of the execution, Wu Hou, you told everyone that the reason why he put on his head was because his behavior was despised by the world, and he had no face to see the light of day."

"After cutting off the head of the death row inmate, let Deng Dang cry and immediately take away the body."

"Although it is a big crime to kill Jingzhou Mu, however, people's hearts are flesh and blood. Lu Meng has been ambushed, and Deng Dang, as a brother-in-law, has nothing to do with collecting Lu Meng's body. ”

In the past, Dong Zhuo caused chaos in the world, he was killed, and Cai Yong collected his body, and he still received the support of countless scholars. On the contrary, Situ Wang Yun hated Cai Yong because of this incident, and even put him in prison and mutilated him to death, which was criticized by the world. ”

"As for Xu Sheng, his merits must be cut and punished with a hundred punishments!"

"A small soldier can mobilize him, and he can even be instigated by Deng Dang, he has no brains!"

"If you don't teach him a lesson, he will definitely cause trouble for you in the future."

"Also, after that, he must be allowed to read and read and know right from wrong."

"As a young general who came out with Wu Hou, how can only you be brave and brave?"

"However, this is up to you to say it yourself, Marquis Wu."

"This kind of person, except for Wu Hou, everyone else can't say anything."

Lu Yi nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Chen Deng then looked at Deng Dang, who was still prostrate on the ground, and said, "Why don't you take them back to the dungeon?" Today, if it weren't for Wu Hou's benevolence, I would have to execute you and Lu Meng! ”

Deng Dang hurriedly kowtowed to Lu Yi a few times.

Lu Yi waved his hand and said, "Bring people back." Tell Lu Meng not to think you are smart in the future. There are many smart people in the world, but it's not that he is different. What he can take into account, others can also take into account. ”

Deng Dang said: "Oh! ”

Chen Deng and Lu Yi watched Deng Dang disappear outside the door, and Chen Deng smiled and said, "I hope to teach Lu Meng and Xu Sheng, the two stinky boys, a lesson." If they can get rid of the stinky problem, they can make a great contribution to the expansion of Jiangdong in the future. If not, Wu Hou will work less on them as soon as possible. ”

Lu Yi smiled: "Okay." ”

It didn't take long for news to come from the dungeon that Lu Meng and Xu Sheng had both returned to the dungeon.

It turned out that they didn't leave at all!

Dundown led them out of the city gates.

However, Lu Meng knew that he had made a big disaster, and if he left this time, Deng Dang would definitely die, so he didn't dare to leave.

And Xu Sheng was also afraid that after leaving, he would break Lu Yi's heart.

So, both of them were entangled in the same place.

In this way, once Lu Yi loses his temper and wants to look for them, he can find them in the same place without having to search around.

When Lu Yi heard what happened to the two, he couldn't cry or laugh.

Fortunately, the two are not white-eyed wolves.

If they really left, he would definitely not let them live.

For the sake of his own life, even the closest people can ignore it.

Regardless of whether they are famous generals in history or not, at least their character is not good.

What's more, in fact, he also had some bad feelings for Lu Meng in the original history.

Although each is its master, Lu Meng's white clothes in the original history crossed the river and killed Guan Yu, which led to the collapse of the Shu Han camp, which made him uneasy for a long time.

If Guan Yu does not die, or, the Three Kingdoms will not return to Jin in the end.

Without Jin, there would be no rebellion of the eight kings, and there would be no chaos in the five chaos.

After Lü Meng and Xu Sheng returned to the dungeon, Lu Yi summoned hundreds of civil and military officials to go to the Xiangyang vegetable market together.

At noon, everything was announced in accordance with Chen Deng's established steps, in front of all the Jingzhou scholars, and the crimes of Lü Meng and Xu Sheng were announced.

stripped Xu Sheng of all his merits and official positions, and took a hundred responsibilities.

After that, he put a hood on the head of "Lu Meng", and Lu Yi announced that this was a punishment for Lu Meng, and what he did was angry and resentful, and he was shameless.

In the end, the executioner beheaded "Lü Meng".

And Deng Dang, as his brother-in-law, cried and collected Lu Meng's body.

After everything was over, Lu Yi returned to the General's Mansion with hundreds of civil and military officials.

Before entering the general's palace, he received urgent information.

This urgent information was provided to Chen Deng by Huang Chengyan, about Wancheng.

Chen Deng didn't look at it, and gave it to Lu Yi directly.

Lu Yi opened the information, glanced at it, and glanced at all the civil and military officials with a serious expression: "Cao Cao personally led an army of 30,000 people, starting from Xudu, and marching to Wancheng for the second time, and will soon arrive at Wancheng City!" ”

Lu Yi's words made all the civil and military officials make a noise.

"Wancheng is the gateway to Jingzhou! Once Wancheng is captured by Cao Cao, Cao Cao's army can threaten the safety of Xiangyang at any time! ”

"We must take Wancheng. Only by capturing Wancheng can we send troops from Hefei and Wancheng to threaten Xudu! ”

"Wancheng won't be lost so easily, right? After all, Wancheng Zhang Xiu only killed Cao Cao two years ago to lose his armor, and Cao Cao even folded his eldest son and nephew in Wancheng. It can be said that Zhang Xiu and Cao Cao are mortal enemies. Once Wancheng was broken, it was impossible for Cao Cao to spare Zhang Xiu's life. ”

Cao Cao will report that his father died tragically in Xuzhou, and he went to Xuzhou twice, where he passed, the chickens and dogs were not left, and Surabaya was blocked by corpses. Now that Wancheng is killing his son, he will definitely slaughter the city. In order to protect herself, Zhang Xiu will also stick to it, and what we have is time to fight slowly. ”

Everyone returned to the hall of the General's Palace.

Lu Yi shook his head as he listened to the gossip of the civil and military officials.

Although everyone is the same head, he clearly saw that everyone's abilities are different this time.

The vast majority of normal people thought that Cao Cao would slaughter Wancheng in revenge for killing his son, and Zhang Xiu would also die.

However, as a traverser, he clearly saw that Cao Cao accepted the surrender of Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu of Wancheng in order to prepare for the battle of Guandu.

Not to mention, now that he has won Jingzhou, for Cao Cao, it is even more like sitting on pins and needles, like a man's back.

If he can take Wancheng without blood, he will definitely accept it.

Not to mention, there is still a Jia Xu in Wancheng.

Among so many strategists in the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, Lu Yi always thought that there were two smartest people.

One is Zhuge Liang.

The other is Jia Xu.

These two belong to the same level, and the other strategists are all one position behind.

Seeing that the vast majority of the civil and military officials were in favor of Wancheng not being taken down so soon, so there was no need to be so anxious, it was better to take Jingbei Wenpin first, Lu Yi motioned for everyone to be quiet.

All the civil and military officials looked at Lu Yi.

Lu Yi looked at Heng Jie and said, "Boxu, I have always known that you are not only very courageous, but also have a long-term vision. Today, you first talk about the current situation in Wancheng, how long can it hold out under Cao Cao's second army? ”

Hengjie stood up and was silent for a moment before he said slowly: "Half a month at most, surrender directly at the earliest." ”

If you are at the same level, let the civil and military officials fry the pot instantly.

"How is that possible!"

"Zhang Xiu's soldiers and horses are all martial arts soldiers brought out by Zhang Ji, who have experienced a hundred battles and are brave! As soon as Cao Cao conquered Wancheng, he was beaten to the point of losing his armor. Now, why can't Zhang Xiu keep it? ”

"Heng Boxu has been in Changsha and doesn't know much about the situation in Wancheng."

Lu Yi motioned for everyone to be quiet again, looked at Chen Deng, and said, "Yuanlong, what do you say?" ”

Chen Deng stood up and said, "I have the same opinion as Bo Xu. The reason is simple, we have taken Xiangyang, and Cao Cao has also reached an alliance with us. In order to seize Wancheng before us, Cao Cao is bound to sacrifice everything to storm Wancheng. ”

"Otherwise, once we take Wancheng first, as an alliance, it will be difficult for him to tear up the agreement and attack us instead."

"After all, in the north, there is still a strong enemy, Yuan Shao, who may go south at any time."

Lu Yi nodded, looked at Zhuge Liang, and said with a smile: "Second brother-in-law, what do you think?"

Zhuge Liang's face was a little red.

Although he is indeed his second brother-in-law.

However, to be called so in front of civil and military officials, there is always a taste of deliberate favor.

Although he was a little embarrassed, Zhuge Liang still said: "I also thought that I couldn't support it for too long, but the reason was different." ”

"I think that the reason why Wancheng can't support it for too long is because since Wancheng was in the hands of Zhang Xiu, it has never been the king of the mountain, but dependent."

"Wancheng Zhang Xiu, he has never regarded Wancheng as his territory, he just uses it as a means of self-preservation."

"Therefore, when Jingzhou Mu was alive, Jingzhou was strong, and he was attached to Jingzhou, and formed a corner with Jingzhou, so as to protect himself."

"However, when Cao Cao conquered Wancheng, Jingzhou was fighting in Changsha at that time and was unable to help, so Zhang Xiu immediately surrendered to Cao Cao."

"It's just that Cao Cao seems to have been too smooth these years, so he got a little carried away, so he forgot that although Zhang Xiu surrendered, he also had the ability to decide life and death in a battle."

"Therefore, Cao Cao confirmed this with a bloody lesson, and was defeated by Zhang Xiu, who had already chosen to surrender."

"Now, Cao Cao's second expedition to Wancheng."

"It is impossible for Wancheng to continue to defend it."

"If we can't take Jingbei as soon as possible and attack Wancheng quickly, then Zhang Xiu will inevitably surrender to Cao Cao."

"Cao Cao's current situation, he will naturally endure humiliation and accept Zhang Xiu, who has the hatred of killing his son, for the sake of the future."

"And if we can quickly take Jingbei, Wancheng will be able to hold out for a little longer, and Zhang Xiu will also take the initiative to surrender to us after we take Jingzhou."
