Chapter 320: Surrender

A lonely boat, Lu Meng crossed the river in white. ◢ with ◢ dream ◢ small ◢ .lā

In the camp at the mouth of the oil river, Duan Dahu was planning with Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei to seize various matters of Nanjun.

The mouth of the oil river, also known as the mouth of the oil and water, is the mouth of the oil and water entering the river. It is named because it is located at the confluence of the oil river and the Yangtze River. After the Battle of Chibi, Jiangxia soldiers and horses gathered here, which means that the four counties of Wuling, Changsha, Guiyang and Lingling were taken in the south.

Suddenly, Zhao Yun walked into the big tent: "Lord, military advisor, Dongwu Lu Meng escorted money and grain here, and is now waiting outside the camp gate." ”

Duan Dahu looked at Zhao Yun and nodded, and said with a smile: "Zhou Yu, this kid, really thought that a few truckloads of money and grain would make me dispel the idea of taking Jingxiang Nine Counties." ”

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and said with a smile: "In the next few days, the big thing can be decided." At that time, the lord will only sit in Xiangyang City and drink with the princes. ”

"Yun ...... General, you go down and hand over the grain and grass to Ziming. Uncle Huang bothered you to go out of the camp and take Lu Ziming into the Chinese army camp. Let Sun Qian prepare the banquet and entertain, and I will be there in a moment with the military advisor. Duan Dahu commanded.

"Okay. Zhao Yun and Liu Bei were each ordered to withdraw from the tent.

"My lord. Zhuge Liang seems to have something to explain.

"What's the matter?" Duan Dahu asked.

"This Lu Ziming is a famous general of Eastern Wu, and his intelligence is no less than that of Zhou Gongjin. He already has a Zhou Yu in Dongwu, and there is no room for him Lu Meng to display his talents, so the lord takes this opportunity and tries his best to recruit him. In the future, we will be in charge of Xishu without the help of this person. ”

"Lu Meng is very loyal, can he be recruited?" Duan Dahu hesitated. He changed his mind and said: "After taking the nine counties of Jingxiang, the next step is the land of the fifty-four prefectures of Xichuan, and when Kong Ming is in charge of Jingxiang, I can't do it without someone around me who can give advice." It's just that I don't know when Pang Tong will be able to return to Shun, and it stands to reason that at that time, Pang Tong will join me in Xichuan......"

But I thought about it again: "If Pang Tong enters Xichuan with me, according to normal development, Pang Tong dies in Luofengpo, and then Zhuge Liang entrusts the nine counties of Jingxiang to Guan Yu, Lu Meng crosses the river in white clothes, and Guan Yu loses Maicheng, all of this will naturally come to fruition, then his grand cause will all be in vain." I can't help but shudder when I think of this. Therefore, I must not let that Pang Tong follow me into Sichuan. ”

Zhuge Liang didn't know what he was thinking about for a while, but he saw Duan Dahu with a smile on his face: "If you want to achieve a great cause, there are few talents around you to help, this Lu Meng is naturally good, but I heard that Feng Xiao Pang Tong and Mr. are familiar with each other, hehe, or do you want to trouble the military advisor to recruit for me?"

"The lord also knows about the phoenix?" Zhuge Liang couldn't help but be surprised.

"Oh, I heard that he is as famous as Mr., so I learned about it. Duan Dahu came back to his senses.

"Well," as if suddenly thinking of something, Zhuge Liang said: "If this Lu Ziming can't surrender to me, I must not let him return to Soochow easily." ”

"Why?"

"Such a talent can't be used by me, it's better to kill it directly. The lord should not follow the actions of the overlord of Chu back then. If he had listened to Fan Zeng's words as soon as possible, or reused Han Xin, or killed Han Xin, there would have been no defeat. ”

"It's just ......," Duan Dahu hesitated, "Our move is not glorious enough." The reason why he hesitated was because he knew the development of history, because of Lu Meng, Guan Yu defeated Maicheng.

"What is brilliance? Back then, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, acted brilliantly enough, was bright enough, broke the cauldron and sunk the boat, won nine battles and nine victories, and raided Pengcheng for thousands of miles to defeat Liu Bang's 400,000 army, but who still remembers Xiang Yu who pulled out the mountains and covered the world. Liu Bang is a scoundrel and a shameless villain. Abandoning his wife and children for his own life, Xiang Yu threatened Liu Bang with cooking his father, and Liu Bang actually wanted to eat his father. But now there are still a few people who remember Emperor Gaozu's shameless behavior, and those old ministers of the Han family are full of praise for how heroic Emperor Gaozu was, how he saved the people from the tyrannical Qin, and how he established the foundation of the Han family for hundreds of years. How to return the nations to well-being. Liu Bei talked eloquently.

Duan Dahu shook his head and said: "Two military advisors, I raised troops only to rule the world for benevolence and righteousness, such a disloyal and unrighteous act would rather be done than die." Now if there are three points today, Cao Cao occupies the time, Sun Quan occupies the geographical advantage, and we only have people. On that day, Cao Cao wanted to slaughter Xuzhou City, but I single-handedly stopped him; in the defeat of Xinye, we could not bear to abandon the people, resulting in a great defeat, and finally we had a little name. If even this little bit is lost, why should they fight for the country, and what can they use to dominate the princes of the world?"

He came from a humble background, and although he is now a prince, he can't let go of the benevolence and righteousness that his master taught him. When Duan Dahu talked about the emotion, he couldn't help but shoot the case: "That's the truth." ”

Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei were actually just testing Duan Dahu to see how he would choose?

Duan Dahu's impassioned speech made Zhuge Liang's heart stir, if he wants to achieve great things, in addition to his own talent, he also needs to meet the master. Although he has been conscientiously assisting Duan Dahu since he came out, the world is difficult and he has never been able to achieve his ambition, of course, he is constantly testing whether Duan Dahu has the ambition to annex the world.

During these days, Duan Dahu obeyed his words and never intervened. I can't help but feel at ease. Seeing Duan Dahu so heroic today, he couldn't help but be glad that he had met the Ming Lord.

Then he fell at the feet of Duan Dahu, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's really an honor for Liang to meet the Ming Lord in this life. The lord is relieved, Liang received the grace of the lord's knowledge, and since he should "bow to the best, and after death" do his best to plan for the lord. ”

Duan Dahu hurriedly helped Zhuge Liang up and said with a smile: "What is the military advisor doing, please hurry up, you and I will be like brothers, you don't have to be so polite." ”

Holding Zhuge Liang's hand, he said with a smile: "It's time for us to meet this "Wuxia Ameng". The two then went to the Chinese army's tent together.

"General Lu, I haven't seen you for a day, like every three autumns, haha. Duan Dahu walked into the big tent, and Lu Meng had been waiting there for a long time.

"The lord of my family has important things to do, and he couldn't accompany him in time, so I hope General Lu won't blame him. Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

"Where, where. The general came to help the governor of my family attack Nanjun, and now that the war is imminent, it is also appropriate for the general to be busy. Everyone exchanged two words of greeting, and then sat down to drink,

After three rounds of drinking, Lu Meng said: "On the orders of the governor of my family, I will escort two hundred stones of grain and grass, and the big war is imminent, and our army can only allocate so much, which has been delivered to your army, and I hope the general will not be surprised." ”

"Thank you for me. Duan Dahu said with a smile.

Lu Meng cleared his throat and said, "The general is now living in Jiangxia, I don't know what to do?"

"Well, I ......" Duan Dahu had a dream of being an emperor for a while, and he couldn't help but get a little carried away at the moment, he wanted to say, let's attack Nanjun first, and then map Jingxiang Nine Counties.

Only listening to Zhuge Liang's light cough twice, Duan Dahu understood, and also felt that it was very inappropriate to say this. After a while, he said: "Although I have foresight, I am suffering from the small number of soldiers, and I really have more than enough strength but not enough strength." As he spoke, he sighed and pretended to be sad.

"Yes, yes, the battle of Chibi, Cao Cao was defeated, but the foundation has not moved, it is bound to make a comeback, Dongwu has gone through three generations since Sun Jian, the foundation is strong, Cao Cao has suffered a big loss, and he may not dare to act rashly, only suffering my lord. It became a place for Cao Cao to be angry. Zhuge Liang also pretended to be sad as he spoke. As he spoke, he secretly reached out and pinched Liu Bei's thigh on the side.

This pinch is too ruthless, Liu Bei: "Oops" screamed in pain.

Everyone looked towards Liu Bei's seat. I saw Liu Bei crying in tears: "Yes." In the battle of Chibi, Cao Cao must have hated my lord, Jiangdong has a strong foundation, Cao Cao may not dare to come, but my lord's soldiers are small, and it may be difficult to resist. ”

Lu Meng didn't notice anything wrong, got up and said: "General and Uncle Huang rest assured, I, Dongwu, have formed an alliance with General Duan forever, and I will definitely not stand idly by, but I just have a word below, and I also ask General Duan and Uncle Huang to listen carefully." ”

"The general said yes. Duan Dahu said.

"Since the general raised the incident, he has fought in the east and west, and there have been no less than 100 battles, and he has only been afraid for a few years. should have made some achievements, but the general abandoned Xinye, went to Fancheng, defeated Dangyang, ran to Xiakou, and had almost no place to stay, but now he is only living in the land of Jiangxia projectile.

Jiangxia has less than 1,000 soldiers and horses, and the grain and grass are no more than 100 stones, if Cao Cao leads the army south again, he can raze Jiangxia to the ground in an instant. At that time, even if the general saves his life, there will be no place for the general in the world, and this hard-earned family fund will once again be in vain.

And I, Jiangdong, as Mr. Kong Ming said, have gone through three generations, and there are more natural dangers on the Yangtze River, and there are many generals. My lord Sun Quan is thirsty for talent, and he has long admired the great talent of the general. Zhou Yu, the governor of the capital, has admired the general for a long time, and when he was in Chibi, he worked with the general many times, and said to me: "General Duan is quick to think, I really can't compare to him." ”

The governor once said: "If the general can serve in my Eastern Wu, Zhou Lang is willing to give up the post of the governor of Eastern Wu." What's more, I have Zhang Zhao, Lu Su and other famous people in Jiangdong, and Zhou Yu, Gan Xingba and other famous generals in Wu to help, why worry about the injustice of the world and the failure to dominate?"
