Chapter 828: Rainy Night
It was already dusk, and the mountains and rivers were shrouded in a gloomy sky.
At this time, the flame of the Jiangdong camp was still bright, and after a while, the raindrops of beans fell with the cool breeze, and as soon as the rain fell, everyone suddenly felt that they had entered the cool shijie, which was indescribably refreshing.
The military camp in Jiangdong has been set up for a few days, and the Chinese army has already had a watchtower, Lu Xun went up and looked at the big camp, only to see that the military camp of more than 100,000 troops stretched endlessly, ten miles away.
In the distance, the sound of sword pavilion shouting and killing kept coming from the pass, but it was the captives of the Southern Barbarian Wu Clan who were driven to attack the city. Lu Xun looked from a distance, the flames were still burning, and the slightest raindrops were evaporated, but Lu Xun was still relieved.
Lu Xun already knew that Ma Chao had brought about 10,000 elite iron cavalry to reinforce him, and he was worried about the threat caused by these iron cavalry, but this rain solved everything, as long as it rained in the middle of the night and the ground was slippery, there would definitely be many obstacles for the cavalry to charge, and within a few days, the power of the charge would be greatly reduced.
As for how many days pass, there is no need to be too careful at all, within two or three days, the Sword Pavilion may be breached, and the advantage of the cavalry in the battle in the city will not be reflected either, but Lu Xun does not have to worry about the problem of too many casualties.
Looking at the rain that couldn't stop for a while, Lu Xun felt a lot more at ease, slowly walked down the watchtower, and returned to his camp, but he felt a little hungry, so he ordered the soldiers to bring today's dinner.
I didn't want Lu Xun to pick up the dishes and chopsticks, and a guard at the door reported that Zhuge Jin asked to see him.
Lu Xun knew that Zhuge Jin was Sun Quan's absolute confidant, and Sun Quan would not forget this person in any good thing, even if Sun Quan was named King of Wu a long time ago, he quickly promoted Zhuge Jin's official position, and named Zhuge Jin as the general of the left and the governor of public security. Fake Festival, even sealed a Wanling Marquis, and let Zhuge Jin take charge of the army on behalf of Lu Meng, even if Zhuge Liang, the number one enemy in the battle now, is his own brother, Sun Quan did not have any suspicion and sent Zhuge Jin here.
And Lu Xun knew that the opposite of Zhuge Jin was that he was deeply suspicious of Sun Quan. Since the fire has won and defeated Liu Bei, Sun Quan is not at ease to put his troops in his hands, and the main purpose of sending Zhuge Jin to the army is not to add liliang to Shu, but to send Zhuge Jin, a henchman, to monitor and contain him.
As soon as he heard Zhuge Jin's request to see him, Lu Xun's first thought was whether Sun Quan had made any will, and even thought about whether Sun Quan knew that the Sword Pavilion was about to be defeated, and there was no big obstacle to the destruction of Shu, and he didn't want to give him the great credit for destroying Shu. So he ordered Zhuge Jin to replace his position and continue the great cause of destroying Shu.
However, although there was no speculation in his heart, Lu Xun didn't dare to snub Zhuge Jin, and hurriedly invited him in.
Zhuge Jin came in and saw the food on the table, but his face also changed slightly, and he was a little embarrassed, after all, it was always a little rude to disturb others to eat.
Lu Xun took Zhuge Jin's expression change into his heart. Immediately knew that Zhuge Jin was definitely not here to replace his position and relieve his right to continue the great cause of Shu. Except for this matter, Lu Xun felt that the rest were trivial matters, so he couldn't help but relax slightly, and said with a smile: "Brother Ziyu, I guess I haven't eaten yet, it's better to use some together." If there is anything, we will talk about it after dinner. ”
"So...... It's better to be respectful than to obey!" Zhuge Jin said, and sat down without excuses. His own guards sent dishes and chopsticks and used them with Lu Xun.
The food in the tent. There is a fixed number, and it is good for ordinary soldiers to be able to manage their fill, and at the rank of captain, there are rice and vegetables, and if the general is a general, there are generally enough rice, and there are two dishes and one soup, but there is no wine, and alcohol is not allowed in the army. However, when it comes to people of Lu Xun and Zhuge Jin, they are higher in rank than ordinary generals, but they have one more meat, and they can take a pot of wine to pour themselves at each meal.
Lu Xun is a very restrained person, although he can use wine, but he generally does not touch it, although Zhuge Jin can ask for it, but he did not ask for wine, the two of them ate two bowls of rice and some vegetables like this, and hurriedly used a meal to let people withdraw Fangcai.
"Lu Xun has become a prestige, authoritative and heavy, and although he is young, he does not show the appearance of arrogance at all, thinking that he was born into a big family, and his daily life must be extremely luxurious, but when he is in the army, even if he is so ambitious now, he can still eat with the same food as in the past, which is really remarkable. Zhuge Jin thought secretly, and became more and more cautious and respectful in his heart.
After the meal, I served tea and used it casually.
Looking at Lu Xun's extraordinary demeanor between his gestures, Zhuge Jin couldn't help but sigh secretly: "In a short period of time, this person has used both grace and power, but he has made the soldiers of the full camp obedient, even if Han Dang Zhou Tai and other veterans have been convinced by him, and there is no resistance to the order, and the means are indeed a little extraordinary."
However, a person like him who is resolute and resolute, deep and heavy, and has great ambitions in his heart is the most difficult to control, even if King Wu can control him, but what about the descendants of King Wu? But he is still so young. It seems that the better such a person is, the closer the disaster will be, what a pity!"
Seeing this, Lu Xun couldn't help but smile and said, "Why is Brother Ziyu sighing?"
Zhuge Jin said: "As the saying goes, 'when the moon is full, it will be lost, and when the water is full, it will overflow', the governor of Yiling destroyed the 800,000 army of Shu in a battle, and his prestige has reached the extreme, and he is destined to leave a name in history, why do you still refuse to stop, ask Wu Hou to resign, but continue to cut down Shu all the way? Now that the governor has recaptured Jingzhou, he has broken hundreds of thousands of troops in the southern barbarians, and also captured Xichuan, which has already been a little too much, but if he can stop in time and let out Zuihou to destroy Shu, maybe there is still a chance to remedy?"
Lu Xun couldn't help but feel a sudden burst in his heart and asked, "This is what King Wu meant?"
Zhuge Jin shook his head and said, "No, it's just my feelings today." ”
"Oh, so there are more reminders from Brother Ziyu. Lu Xun said in his mouth, but he still didn't believe it in his heart, secretly wondering if it was Sun Quan who asked Zhuge Jin to remind him secretly.
At this time, a cool breeze swept through the cracks of the tent, and the rain outside became heavier, hitting the tent with a crackling sound, and then faintly brightened a few times, and there was the sound of heavy thunder rolling.
In the flash of lightning, Lu Xun glanced outside and smiled: "This heavy rain is coming, but Ma Chao's iron horse is no longer terrifying, and even the sky is helping us." ”
After a pause, he said in a relaxed tone: "As long as the Sword Pavilion is broken and the army in it is destroyed, there will be no resistance in Shu in the future, and the destruction of Shu is just around the corner!"
Zhuge Jin said: "Even if it doesn't rain, the Shu army can't resist my Eastern Wu army." “
Lu Xun smiled: "That's not necessarily, Brother Ling and Ma Chao are both dragons and phoenixes among people, rare heroes in the world, I don't dare to underestimate them in the slightest." Actually, if I can capture them alive, I must capture these two people alive, and there is a glimmer of hope to persuade them to surrender, and it would be a pity to kill a talent like them!"
Lu Xun originally planned to use Zhuge Liang to mess up Zhuge Jin's heart, so no matter if Zhuge Jin came today because of Weishenme, it was easy to expose flaws and be taken the initiative by himself.
I didn't want Lu Xun to say this, but I saw Zhuge Jin's face change drastically: "I almost forgot about business." ”
After saying that, I saw Zhuge Jin kneeling on the ground with a "pop!" and said, "Please also ask the governor to save my brother's life." ”
"Brother Ziyu, what are you doing here?" Lu Xun was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly went to help Zhuge Jin, and said with a smile in his mouth: "Don't worry, I also said it, I don't want to kill Brother Ling." I will order him to be captured alive. ”
Zhuge Jin said: "Thank you Dudu, but Dudu doesn't need to give the order to capture him alive, now my brother has been captured in my Dongwu army, and I ask Dudu to save his life." ”
"What? Someone was caught in our army, the Sword Pavilion has not yet been broken, who has such a great ability to arrest him? Where did you hear the news, why don't even I know about it?"
"The younger brother was taken by Li Yan of the Shu Kingdom, and he was just secretly sent to the immeasurable Taoist by the secret of the Daoist. Zhuge Jin bowed and said: "My brother has some grudges with the immeasurable Taoist, and I am afraid that it will be a little more auspicious than it is sent to him, and now only the governor in the army may be able to persuade the immeasurable Taoist to let my brother live, so I came to ask the governor to help me ask for personal favors, if I can save my brother's life, I will not forget the great grace of the governor for the rest of my life." ”
Lu Xun sat in the camp, his heart was churning, his eyes were blazing, listening to the rustling rain outside the house, sometimes tight and sometimes slow, but he didn't say anything.
Although Zhuge Jin didn't say where he heard it, he knew that there should be no falsehood in this matter, Jun Sun Quan had a secret shili to supervise everything, Zhuge Jin could get the information of that shili, and knew something he didn't know, and I was afraid that this matter was heard through that channel.
However, after the news is accurate, he is not easy to do, if he is not famous to ask for this love, then maybe he will be hated by Zhuge Jin, if he goes to intercede and saves Zhuge Liang's life, it is not only very likely to get an extremely demonic genius for Jiangdong, but also to get Zhuge Jin's gratitude, but the benefits are great, but the immeasurable Taoist is not better than others, if he is angered by this, the loss and fire are not small.
"My parents died early, I left home early, I didn't take good care of this brother, but I was a little sorry for him, how can I watch him die like this in my Jiangdong camp, I beg you, save him!" Zhuge Jin cried.
Thinking of the few words that Zhuge Jin kindly mentioned after the meal before, Lu Xun sighed, made up his mind and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go to the Infinite Immortal Elder and help you beg to see, but I don't dare to guarantee whether it will succeed or not." ”
"Thank you, Du Du, after all, you are the commander of my Wu army, you go out, the immeasurable Taoist will not give you this face, you will definitely be able to succeed." ”
"Even if it doesn't work, I will only be grateful to the Governor, and I will not blame the Governor. Zhuge Jin wiped his tears and said. (To be continued......)
