Chapter 14: Yang Mou [Seeking Reading]
Looking at Pan Zhang's grief from the bottom of his heart, Lu Meng was deeply touched, and his face also showed sadness.
He was very sympathetic to the pain of his subordinates.
In Jiangdong, which implements the tribal system, the generals attach great importance to the soldiers and horses of the headquarters.
If the loss is too large, they will lose the capital on which Jiangdong can gain a foothold and survive.
It seems that in the Battle of Xiaoyaojin a few years ago, Ling Tong fought hard to cover Sun Quan's retreat, and finally fought for the Ling clan under his command.
Even if Sun Quan added a batch of new pawns to him, it was difficult to hide Ling Tong's sadness.
Lu Meng suddenly thought of all kinds of past events, and his mood was quite heavy.
For a while, he seemed to be a little unsure of how to appease the fierce general Pan Zhang.
Just when the two of them were silent and only the sound of the flowing river was endless, the spy ran over quickly and said:
"General Qiyu Lu, someone from Jiangling told them that they had captured nearly 800 people under the command of our army, and now they say that they can exchange prisoners of war between the two sides."
As soon as the words fell, Pan Zhang, who was still grief-stricken, suddenly wiped away the tears on his cheeks, looked up at Lu Meng and shouted, "General Lu~"
From his demeanor, Lu Meng could naturally understand what he meant, but his serious expression did not give him an immediate reply, and after a while, he said:
"Wen Jue, summon the lieutenant general and colonel to discuss the matter with the military government quickly."
With that, he straightened his chest and left the battalions.
Although Pan Zhang was impatient at this time, he still gave up his orders to gather the generals.
After most of the ringing kung fu.
In the public security military mansion, Lu Meng was dressed in white and was at the top, and everyone on both sides of the hall gathered.
They are Yu Fu who accompanied the army, the generals Sun Jiao and Pan Zhang, and the generals.
"Now that the morale of the army is low, we are all appeasing the soldiers, is there a big deal when the general summons me and others to come?"
As a child of the clan, Sun Jiao took the lead in asking.
When the words fell, Lu Meng's eyes swept to both sides, and he said in a deep voice: "Just now, Jiangling sent someone to exchange prisoners of war with our army, I don't know what you think?" β
As soon as these words came out, it immediately set off an uproar in the hall.
With Sun Jiao and Pan Zhang as the leaders, the meal was divided into two factions.
Sun Jiao took the lead and said, "General Lu, I think it is not appropriate for our army to agree to the prisoner exchange of the Jingzhou army. β
"Oh? Tell us what you think. β
After hearing this, Lu Meng couldn't help but show a trace of curiosity and waved his hand.
"Even if the enemy army sent spies to the front line in Xiangyang to inform Guan Yu of the truth, it would take more than ten days to return the aid from a distance of hundreds of miles, even if it was a waterway."
"But the current garrison of Jiangling City is very weak, and it is only necessary for our follow-up main forces to gather here in the past two days to cross the Jiangxi and open the siege."
"There are nearly 3,000 prisoners of war in the public security garrison and the prisoners of war in Fengsui along the river, if this is changed, won't it increase the difficulty of our army's siege?"
When these words fell, Lu Meng was quite agreeable when he heard this, and nodded in agreement.
It's just that seeing that Lu Meng seemed to agree with his idea, Pan Zhang, who was on the side, instantly became anxious, and hurriedly shouted: "What do you mean by this?" β
"Sun Jiao, if you die in battle or are captured this time, and there is no part of yours, you can ignore it and ignore life and death?"
When the words fell, he roared angrily.
He was already grief-stricken and indignant because his tribe was completely lost in this battle, and this time he had the opportunity to change back to the tribe but was prevented, how could he bear it?
"General Pan, what Jiao said is for the sake of the overall situation, and will not be mixed with the slightest personal grievance, I hope you can understand the general situation and take the overall situation into account."
When the words fell, Sun Jiao also knew that Pan Zhang was deeply favored by Wu Hou Sun Quan, and explained quite calmly in his words.
Who expected Pan Zhang not to appreciate it at all, full of anger all over his eyebrows, and shouted angrily, "The overall situation? Standing and talking without back pain? β
"If this were your subordinate, you would have completely abandoned it?"
When the words fell, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he suddenly drew his sword and faced him, "Sun Jiao, do you dare to say a word again to give up the prisoner exchange?" β
"It's not good to deceive me with a sword?"
Looking at Pan Zhang's aggressiveness, even Sun Jiao was angry at this time, and he drew his sword and shouted: "My sword is not disadvantaged!" β
In an instant, the military palace was full of gunpowder.
The two wanted to meet each other because of the prisoner exchange.
The head Lu Meng looked at this scene, his eyes flashed fiercely, and he who was rarely angry suddenly burst out: "Enough~"
"Still not putting down the sword and the general?"
With a shout, the two of them reluctantly withdrew their swords, each still showing anger on their faces.
Although the bullet suppressed the contradiction between the two and avoided the expansion of the situation.
But Lu Meng also sat on the seat for a while, thinking quietly and silently.
He knew that this captured tribe was Pan Zhang's proudest tribe, and if he refused to exchange prisoners, it would inevitably cause resentment in his heart.
At that point, he will definitely fight passively.
But in the same way, Sun Jiao said that there is no problem, it is impossible for him to immediately digest the public security garrison and turn it into his own strength, once he changes back, he will strengthen the garrison of Jiangling City
If you change it, it will affect the battle situation of your own attack on Gangneung.
If you don't change it, you will lose your prestige in the army.
Lu Meng thought about it for a long time and fell into a dilemma.
He couldn't help but sigh secretly for a while, "It seems that there are masters in Jiangling City~"
"This person can actually see through the shortcomings of my Jiangdong private tribe and let me make a choice, not to be underestimated!"
With Lu Meng's intelligence, it was naturally easy to know that this was the yang strategy adopted by Huo Yi.
Whether it is changed or not, he will be the one who suffers.
After pondering for a while, Lu Meng's expression gradually became firm, and he waved his hand and said, "Zhong Xiang, this general has ordered you to be fully responsible for negotiating with Jiangling, and exchanging the thousands of people along the river for prisoners of war of our army. β
"ε~"
The order was handed down, and Yu Fu quickly handed over his hand to receive the order.
Although LΓΌ Meng could not crack this scheme, he still decided to negotiate and only exchange for equal prisoners of war.
If this can be done, then even if Gangneung can have a garrison of more than 1,000 people, it will not be of help in the face of his own main army.
Seeing that Lu Meng agreed to exchange prisoners, Pan Zhang looked displeased, and snorted coldly at Sun Jiao, before gradually dissipating his anger.
After receiving the order, Yu Fu quickly sent someone to Jiangling to negotiate the exchange of prisoners.
Inside Gangneung Fortress.
Knowing that Lu Meng was vainly trying to exchange only a thousand people, Huo Yi stared at the Jiangdong envoy tightly, and sneered, "An exchange of prisoners is an exchange of prisoners, how can it be compared with the number of people?" β
"Ben General not only needs all the prisoners of war to come back, but also wants you to return Liu Zhang's family and the thief Shiren to me together."
"Only a thousand people? Don't negotiate, go back as soon as possible and tell Lu Meng to wash and sleep~"
Spit out loudly, Huo Yi's expression was pale, and he waved Jiang Dong out of the city without giving him time to respond.
After the envoy was expelled, Liao Hua came out and said suspiciously:
"Shaoxian, then Lu Meng is not even willing to exchange all the three thousand prisoners of war, how can he give it to you if you still want to betray the general Shiren and Liu Zhang's father and son?"
"Haha~" Hearing this, Huo Yi laughed and said, "When I see Brother Yuan Jian, I don't know how to do business, no matter if I can get it back, but it is necessary for the lion to open his mouth." β
