"Do you need to think about it? It is impossible to hide this matter at all, and perhaps the incident has been known and reported by Jingzhou spies not long after. ”

"It can spread so quickly, it must be because it is secretly fueled by enemy agents."

Even though he was full of anger, it did not affect Lu Meng's judgment in the slightest, and he responded loudly.

The more he looked at Pan Zhang, the more angry he became, and the tactics he had carefully designed might be bankrupt because of this, which undoubtedly made him quite upset, and suddenly his face changed, and he said sharply:

"Pass on the general's order, and kill Pan Zhang on the spot for disobeying the military order."

"喏~"

As soon as he gave the order, he saw that the guards on the left and right quickly dragged Pan Zhang, who was kneeling on the ground, out of the tent.

As soon as these words fell, Pan Zhang, who was still bowing his head and not speaking, suddenly felt his pupils shrink.

What? Do you want to correct the Dharma on the spot?

It was almost a rush in his head.

Pan Zhang thought that even though he ordered the slaughter of the people in Zhijiang to vent his anger, with the exploits he had made in the past, Lü Meng would defeat him at most, and he would definitely not dare to be killed.

But now the actual situation is unexpected!

A look of fear quickly appeared in his eyes.

"General Lu, spare your life~"

"Zhang knows that he is wrong, he will never dare to do it again in the future, and please have the opportunity to atone for his sins and make meritorious contributions to the last general."

For a while, under the beckoning of death, Pan Zhang could not take care of his dignity, and hurriedly kowtowed like pounding garlic and begged for mercy.

But Lu Meng's face was pale, his expression was still the same, and he was not moved at all.

For a moment, Pan Zhang had to move his gaze to the sides to look at everyone, with a pleading look in his eyes.

"General and slow~" Seeing this, Zhu Ran stood up straight first, and said: "General Pan's handling this time is not very appropriate, this is also to encourage the morale of the troops under his command. ”

"After all, we have been storming Jiangling for a long time, and our soldiers and horses have suffered a lot of losses, if we don't let our subordinates loot, I'm afraid that all the soldiers will have no will to fight, and their morale will be completely lost."

"Although General Pan dealt with a lot of impulses, it was also to be able to restore the morale of the army as soon as possible, and I hope that the general can see the past merits and forgive his life, so that he can make meritorious contributions."

As soon as the words fell, the generals and colonels on both sides also pleaded in unison, "General Zhu is reasonable, and I hope that General Lu will forgive General Pan's life by remembering his past achievements." ”

Seeing that all the generals in the army were begging for mercy for themselves, Pan Zhang also thought that Lu Meng would give up!

But who expected Lu Meng's expression to be cold, and he said sharply: "The state has national laws, and the army has military regulations~"

"If you don't deal with it, how can you convince the people?"

"How will Ben command the people in the future?"

After a few words in a row, Lu Meng said impatiently, "Pull it down~"

"General Lu, Pan Wenqi is a favorite general under the command of the lord, and he is very favored in peace, is it difficult to explain to the lord's side of beheading the lord privately?"

"What's more, at this time, it is the current situation of the great enemy, and it is not suitable to kill the generals before the battle, so it is better to temporarily detain them and make a decision after telling the truth to the lord?"

Seeing that Lu Meng insisted on strict military discipline, Yu Chuan on one side stood up and persuaded him.

This word was almost on his heart.

Oh, yes! This person is quite favored, and if he is killed on the spot, he is afraid that it will be difficult for the lord to explain.

Lu Meng suddenly came to his senses and thought secretly, and then the anger on his face gradually dissipated for a few minutes, and he waved his big hand and said:

"Send Pan Zhang to the rear to explain the truth to Marquis Wu and ask him to decide!"

When these words fell, Pan Zhang's panicked heart breathed a sigh of relief.

was not killed on the spot, but handed over to Sun Quan, then he had no worries about his life.

When everyone saw this, they were all reassured.

After this matter was dealt with, Pan Zhangdang was escorted south.

Although when Zhijiang was just slaughtered, Lü Meng sent Yu Fan to pacify him, but the negative impact of unprovoked killing could not be so easily eliminated.

What's more, how can this matter and Huo Yi's secret operation end here?

In the old city, he kept hearing the scouts tell the news that the people everywhere were indignant after the spread of Jingzhou, and a thick smile appeared on his face:

"Lu Meng, Lu Meng, get ready to meet the wrath of the people of Jingzhou!"

After muttering, he pulled his thoughts back to the military academy and quietly stared at the drills of Cao Bing's various departments, and saw that the loose military discipline had improved in recent days, and a smile unconsciously hung on his cheeks.

"As long as Cao Cao releases the family members of the prisoners of war who will not be held accountable, I can use the army."

After a little groaning, Huo Yi said to himself.

Speaking of news, after Lü Meng sent people to infiltrate the Jingzhou army to the north using Cao's prisoners of war to defend the city, this military situation quickly entered the ears of Cao Cao, the king of Wei.

At this time, Cao Cao remembered the urgency of the battle in Fancheng, and as soon as he returned to Luoyang from Chang'an, he went to the south of Mopitun to supervise the war.

in the military tent.

Cao Cao, the king of Wei, was wearing a red robe at this time, wearing treasure armor inside, attacking the royal robe outside, he was over sixty years old, he had a long white beard on his chin, and he was only seven feet tall in the main seat, although he was short but could not hide his might.

"Ladies and gentlemen, according to the latest military information from the spies in the south, Jiangdong has launched an attack on Jingzhou, and Wu's general Lü Meng's sneak attack on Jiangling has not been a strong attack."

"Unexpectedly, the defenders in the city actually recruited the seven armies under the command of Yu Ban, who had been captured earlier, to assist in defending the city, so that the Wu army could not advance under the city!"

With a rather majestic tone, Cao Cao squinted his eyes and scanned both sides and said, "Does Lone want to let out the rumors that if the prisoners of war dare to help the Jingzhou army defend the city, the family members in the rear will all be executed to help the Wu army break the city?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the tent seemed to be silent for a moment.

After half a sound, a middle-aged Confucian priest dressed in a Confucian robe with a gloomy face quickly replied: "King Qiqi, according to the minister's opinion, the news is to be released......

"However, the minister thought that he wanted to show the situation that the family members of the captives were still safe and sound."

"Huh? What does Gongren mean? ”

As soon as these words came out, Rao is Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and his face was suspicious.

The person in front of him is Dong Zhao, the official general who is a master craftsman and a strategist with the army.

He immediately explained with a serious face, "Jiangling is an important place behind Guan Yu, and the families of the soldiers are all in the city. ”

"Once the city falls, the morale of the army under his command will be completely weakened and self-defeating."

"By that time, Jiangdong will occupy the entire territory of Jingzhou."

The words were sprinkled and spit out, and Dong Zhao's face gradually became solemn, and he arched his hand and said: "The so-called two tigers fight, there must be an injury,"

"Think about it, is it easy for the Sun family to take Jingzhou in our favor, or is it advantageous for Jiangling to attack Sun and Liu for a long time, and the two families are constantly tug-of-war over the ownership of Jingzhou?"

"Obviously, if we help the defenders of Jingzhou to hold Jiangling and drag it to the south of Guan Yu's main force to fight with it, our army will be able to watch the fishermen on the wall and benefit."

"This so-called two tigers compete for food! Think twice! ”

As soon as the words fell, Cao Cao thought for a while, and said with great joy on his face, "Okay, okay~ Gongren's strategy is very good, so he will act according to this plan." ”

"King Wise~"
