Three Kingdoms: Heir of Wolong, my father-in-law is Guan Gong

Chapter 136 Lu Meng takes the blame and protects Lu Xun, and the crisis in Jiangling City is resolved (Pursuit)

Lu Meng's expression changed drastically.

Yu Fan even blurted out: "Li Yilu Xun, who was defeated in a row by Xie Jing, knew that the main force of our army was in Jiangling City, but he still dared to cover up and pursue him. How many troops did Liu Bei bring?"

Judging from the time, Liu Bei's military strength should be exhausted.

It can be inferred from the momentum that Liu Bei is now majestic and has great morale. It seems that he can eat all the 30,000 soldiers of Lu Meng in Jiangling City.

"I told you earlier that the King of Hanzhong has 50,000 soldiers in Baidi City, but you don't believe me." Shiren felt uncomfortable being stared at by the generals and couldn't help but speak.

As soon as Shiren opened his mouth, the Jiangdong generals, who were already surprised and suspicious, had their eyes filled with fear.

When Yu Fan saw this, he drew his sword and stabbed Shiren.

Shiren had been on guard against Yu Fan and said angrily: "Yu Fan, you are sick. I tell you the truth. Why do you always want to kill me?"

"Captain Lu, is this how you treat me and other surrendered generals? If you want to kill me, just chop me with a knife. Why do you have to let Yu Fan humiliate me again and again!"

Lu Meng frowned and scolded: "Zhong Xiang, step back!"

Yu Fan was angry and helpless: "Commander, this guy Shiren has repeatedly undermined the morale of our army, how can we keep him!"

Shiren was dissatisfied: "If you want to impose a crime, why bother?"

Lu Meng took a deep breath: "I misjudged Liu Bei's military strength, and it has nothing to do with Shiren."

"Bo Yan, this battle is not your fault, so don't take it to heart."

"Pan Zhang, we will postpone the attack on the city today. We will sail across the river with our ships. We are not allowed to go into battle easily without our military orders."

Shiren glared at Yu Fan fiercely and stopped talking.

Lu Xun shook his head bitterly: "Captain, I lost my troops and generals. If you don't convict me, how can I convince the people?"

Lu Meng shook his head: "I said, I misjudged Liu Bei's strength in this battle. It is not your fault. If you want to be convicted, it is me who goes back to plead guilty to the Supreme Being."

"If anyone is dissatisfied, he can bring it up to his face; if anyone dares to gossip behind his back, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Lu Meng glanced at the generals in the army indifferently. The generals did not dare to raise their heads and look directly at Lu Meng.

After the generals retreated, Lu Meng left Lu Xun alone.

"Captain, why do you want to take the blame for me?" Lu Xun didn't have much friendship with Lu Meng, so he was quite puzzled by this.

Lu Meng's eyes were firm: "Among all the generals in Jiangdong, you are the only one who has the utmost trust, Boyan, and who knows military affairs and the general trend."

"If this battle is defeated, only you can lead the troops to defend the enemy on behalf of the Supreme Being and resist Liu Bei."

Lu Xun was shocked when he heard this: "Captain, we may not be defeated, Commander, you are the same."

Lu Meng interrupted Lu Xun: "Bo Yan, I know what you want to say."

"Although I also suspect that Liu Bei is bluffing, I don't dare to bet!"

"Once the bet is lost, these 30,000 soldiers will have to be lost in Jiangling City."

"If the Supreme loses 40,000 soldiers in one battle, then Lukou and Xiakou will definitely not be able to defend it."

"At that time, the Supreme Lord will no longer have the military power to compete with Liu Bei and Cao Cao, and it will definitely be divided and cannibalized by Cao Cao and Liu Bei."

"The three-thirds of the world will completely turn into a north-south confrontation between Liu Bei and Cao Cao."

"But as long as the Supreme has powerful soldiers in his hands and a general who knows how to lead the army, Liu Bei will not dare to completely fall out with the Supreme."

"I can't bet on this battle!"

Lu Xun was unwilling to accept: "Captain, if you return to the army like this, you will become a criminal in Jiangdong. Although the Supreme Lord trusts you, he also."

Lu Xun didn’t say anything further.

Lu Meng sighed secretly.

When sending troops this time, Sun Quan originally wanted Sun Jiao to divide Lü Meng's troops, but Lü Meng insisted not to let Sun Jiao divide his troops.

He even said, "Although I am sick, I still have the spirit of winning Jingzhou! If I cannot win Jingzhou, I will raise my head to see the Supreme Being."

Lu Meng knew that he could not capture Jingzhou this time and would die if he returned.

However, compared to death, Lu Meng was more afraid that these 30,000 soldiers would not be able to return to Jiangdong!

"This is why I want to take the blame for you." Lu Meng looked at Lu Xun, with reluctance and determination in his eyes: "Between you and me, one must be protected."

Seeing Lu Xun's silence, Lu Meng smiled again and said, "Bo Yan doesn't have to be so depressed. The one who is depressed should be Zhuge Qiao." "Zhuge Qiao entered Jiangling City and made these arrangements just to completely eliminate the threat of the Supreme to Jingzhou."

"But he underestimated me too much. Why should I die for the great cause of the Supreme Being?"

"As long as Boyan is saved, these 30,000 soldiers are saved, Lukou and Xiakou are saved, Zhuge Qiao will be like a dog in the throat."

"Bo Yan, I predict that Zhuge Qiao will be the Supreme's biggest enemy from now on."

"This boy is only fifteen years old, but he has such deep scheming and courage. If he is allowed to truly grow up, no one in Jiangdong can rival him!"

"If you are in power, you must get rid of this son at all costs."

Lu Meng's voice gradually became colder.

Lu Xun's defeat made Lu Meng also understand the logical error in Shiren's words.

Even if Cao Pi really wanted to become a fisherman, Liu Bei couldn't have come so quickly!

The only explanation that makes sense is that Zhuge Qiao's original purpose was to eliminate Sun Quan's threat to Jingzhou rather than to attack Xiangfan in the north.

From beginning to end, Lu Meng's attention was on Guan Yu, while ignoring the most critical and core Zhuge Qiao.

however.

Zhuge Qiao's age and performance in Jiangling City made it impossible for Lu Meng to value Zhuge Qiao more than Guan Yu.

Lu Xun's eyes gradually became serious, and his tone was no longer depressed: "Captain, I understand. If I take power, I will get rid of Zhuge Qiao!"

Lu Meng looked relieved.

If you lose, you lose, and Lu Meng will not beg for mercy from Liu Bei just because he loses.

"Give me the order to withdraw the troops!"

"Otherwise, if Zhuge Qiao's ambushes deployed in Wuling County intercept the police, we will have no way to return."

Lu Meng's tone was decisive and not muddled.

Although the generals in Jiangdong did not understand Lü Meng's military order to withdraw troops, they did not dare to disobey Lü Meng's military orders.

Especially when Lu Meng is so angry, who dares to provoke him?

"Lü Meng actually withdrew his troops?"

At the top of Jiangling City, looking at the Jiangdong soldiers boarding the ship and leaving, Zhuge Qiao's expression became solemn.

As soon as Liu Beibing arrived, Lu Meng turned around and ran away. This was beyond Zhuge Qiao's expectation.

"Although I have been extra cautious, I still underestimate Lu Meng."

"Withdrawing when the situation is not going well is to make sure that the king does not dare to really fight Sun Quan at this time."

"hateful!"

Zhuge Qiao punched the city wall.

After months of painstaking calculations, he never expected that Lü Meng would withdraw his troops so decisively.

"Secretary, do you want to go out of the city to pursue me?" Wang Ping asked.

Zhuge Qiao shook his head: "It's useless to pursue him. Send the speed boat quickly to the Xia River into the mouth of the land, and ask Su Fei to return to the Xia River."

Although Lu Meng withdrew his troops, the Jiangdong Navy's combat strength was still there.

To pursue Lu Meng, we must devise another strategy.

River surface.

When Liu Bei saw Lu Meng withdrawing his troops, he couldn't help but sigh: "There are so many talented people in Jiangdong, it's not a temporary disaster."

Huang Quan, Zhao Yun and other generals also looked solemn.

If Lü Meng had stayed in Jiangling City, he would have had a chance to severely inflict heavy damage on the Jiangdong soldiers, but Lü Meng chose to retreat. Liu Bei's small force could not do anything to Lü Meng on the water.

"Enter Jiangling City first and then discuss." Liu Bei quickly adjusted his mood and looked at the vague figure at the top of Jiangling City, feeling a little more approving in his heart.

　The first update has been added, just add the third update and admit your mistake.
