Lu Yi looked at Zhuge Liang nervously.
For the first time, he was so nervous that his heart almost jumped out of his chest!
This was even more stressful than sneaking into Jingzhou by himself.
First, this is his second brother-in-law.
Secondly, this is Zhuge Liang.
Although Zhuge Liang lived to be over fifty years old in the original history.
But now that he has joined, it has caused a butterfly effect and caused many changes.
If Zhuge Liang also died in an accident caused by the butterfly effect, he could not imagine his regret and annoyance.
But now, he could only watch.
Time is extremely important to him now.
He really needed such a battle to win Jingzhou without a single blow.
Nangong Yan rode aside and said with emotion: "Brother Lu, your second brother-in-law is really courageous for a weak scholar."
Lu Yi nodded.
indeed.
Entering the city single-handedly under the watchful eyes of thousands of enemy troops.
If the enemy doesn't follow the rules and takes action, none of us can save him!
For example, Cheng Pu, Zhu Zhi, Tai Shi Ci and others have all seen the world and have long been accustomed to life and death on the battlefield.
But at this moment, I feel a little admired.
But Hengjie just smiled.
To him, this scene was like this.
Thinking back to the time when he rushed to Xiangyang single-handedly to get back Sun Jian's remains, the entire Xiangyang was an enemy.
Cai Mao even placed a cauldron at the door of the general's mansion. The water in the cauldron boiled and steam came out.
But he still walked into the general's mansion.
Now, I didn't expect to see someone like me.
And, younger.
He is also the second brother-in-law of Wu Hou.
The future is endless.
Zhuge Liang rode his horse all the way into the city and came to the city wall.
Young Master Liu Qi, Wenpin and others came forward.
Zhuge Liang got off his horse and saluted Young Master Liu Qi and Wen Pin one after another and said, "Zhuge Liang has met Young Master! He has met General Wen!"
Young Master Liu Qi scolded: "Kong Ming, you actually took refuge in Jiangdong!"
Zhuge Liang took down five cloth bags from his horse and said, "I'll tell you the truth, sir, Marquis Wu is my brother-in-law."
Young Master Liu Qi: "Then you made friends with me before——"
Zhuge Liang carried five bags and forced a smile and said: "Young Master, please forgive me. It is true that I have ulterior motives. However, I do admire you as a person, so I am here to persuade you to surrender."
Wenpin looked at Zhuge Liang with a gloomy face and said nothing.
Zhuge Liang did not explain any more, but opened five of the bags, revealing four heads and said: "Here are the heads of the heads of the four major families. They were brought here specially to avenge the former Jingzhou Mu."
Young Master Liu Qi looked at the heads of Cai Hao, Kuai Yue and others, tears instantly rolled down his face, and he said in a trembling voice, "Was my father really harmed by them?"
Zhuge Liang said: "It's absolutely true. Someone saw Cai Mao smothering Xian Jingzhou Mu to death with a quilt. Xian Jingzhou Mu was very happy before he died. He was pleased that the young master could wake up, left the city, and rushed to Jingbei to meet General Wen."
Then he looked at Wen Pin and said, "It is said that before his death, the late Jingzhou Mu believed in General Wen and believed that General Wen could treat the young master well."
Wenpin's gloomy face relaxed and he said, "So, if you come as a lobbyist this time, how can you guarantee that the young master will not be persecuted?"
Zhuge Liang then handed the fifth bag to Wen Pin and said, "Marquis Wu asked me to deliver this to Young Master and General Wen."
Wenpin took the bag, opened it, took a look, exhaled, then handed the bag to Young Master Liu Qi and said, "Young Master, you can consider it."
Liu Qi took the bag and opened it, only to see the seal of Jiangxia County inside.
Liu Qi looked at Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang said: "If Young Master and General Wen are willing to submit, Young Master, you can be the governor of Jiangxia County."
"There is no war in Jiangxia County now, and it is located between Jiangdong and Jingzhou. There is almost no possibility of being involved in a war in the future."
"Marquis Wu thinks that the young master can live in Jiangxia for his old age. Not only will he be rich and have no worries about food and clothing, but he also doesn't have to worry about whether Marquis Wu will recruit you to the battlefield in any way at any time."
"Moreover, since the young master is in charge of Jiangxia, he can supervise Jingzhou and see if Wu Hou will treat the people of Jingzhou well."
"After all, Jingzhou is the foundation laid by the ancestors of Jingzhou Mu. I think the young master is also concerned about the future development of the people of Jingzhou."
Then he looked at Wen Pin and said: "As for General Wen, if General Wen knows a little bit about Wu Hou, he should know that Wu Hou always knows people well and does not care about his origin."
"Marquis Wu captured Xuzhou, and Zhang Liao, the surrendered general of Xuzhou, is now in Hefei, facing Xu Du and Shouchun."
"For Jiangdong, Xiangyang, Hefei and Guangling are extremely important lines of defense. The importance of Hefei is self-evident."
"However, Wu Hou entrusted Zhang Liao with such an important responsibility. General Wen should know what this means."
"For any other prince, General Wen should also know how likely this is."
"There is also Xuzhou, the place where the Four Wars were fought, but Wu Hou did not entrust it to veteran generals such as Cheng Pu and Zhu Zhi, but entrusted it to Zhao Yun, a general that General Wen may have never heard of."
"Why?"
"Because Marquis Wu is the wise ruler of the world."
"He never cares about identity and status when employing people, but whether the person is really talented."
"General Wen has outstanding talents. He has been stationed in Jingbei for Jingzhou to defend against possible enemies in the north. He has never made a mistake for many years."
"This is the time for Wu Hou to employ people."
"When I came, Marquis Wu said that General Wen is a great talent. After taking Jingzhou, we will have to rely more on General Wen for the defense of Jingzhou."
"As for the officers and men under General Wen, Marquis Wu will not replace them."
"I just want to replace some non-military officials from counties in northern Jingzhou. I hope to use more talents to obtain more benefits for the people of Jingzhou."
Young Master Liu Qi looked at Wenpin again, with a hint of expectation on his face.
Facing such a large army outside the city, he was already afraid.
What's more, he also knows that he is not as talented as his father and can defend Jingzhou.
Wenpin heard what Zhuge Liang said and saw that the young master Liu Qi had no intention of resisting at all. He sighed and said: "I am willing to surrender."
Young Master Liu Qi also said: "I am willing too!"
Zhuge Liang smiled and said to Young Master Liu Qi: "Young Master, from now on we can always discuss knowledge and have fun over wine! Wu Hou promised me before that he would search for books in the world for me. At that time, we can study together."
Young Master Liu Qi nodded heavily.
Upon seeing this, Wenpin said to Young Master Liu Qi: "Young Master, let's take the seal and go out to welcome Wu Hou into the city!"
Young Master Liu Qi responded.
After speaking, Zhuge Liang was asked to take the lead. He and Wenpin took the generals in the city and went out of the city to greet them holding the seal.
Outside the city, the Jiangdong officers and soldiers cheered when they saw Zhuge Liang leading his son Liu Qi, Wenpin and other generals out of the city.
Lu Yi also breathed a sigh of relief and rode forward.
Nangong Yan, Shi Huan, and Gao Shun followed closely with the trapped camp.
When Lu Yi saw the young masters Liu Qi and Wenpin, he hurriedly helped them get up.
Afterwards, Lu Yi comforted them.
Prince Liu Qi served as the governor of Jiangxia County.
As for Wenpin, he was promoted from Captain Nanyang to General Jianwei. He was still responsible for guarding Jingbei and defending against enemies from the north.
All of his generals remained in their original positions.
To capture Jingbei without any bloodshed, Lu Yi sent Wen Pin and his 30,000 troops to our front army, Cheng Pu and Zhu Zhi led 50,000 troops to the middle army, and Tai Shici led the remaining 20,000 troops to the rear. All three armies attacked together. Head towards Wancheng.
This time, regardless of whether Wancheng was captured by Cao Cao, Lu Yi made a decision to seize Wancheng!
As Chen Deng, Heng Jie and Zhuge Liang said.
Before Jiangdong's 100,000 troops arrived in Wancheng, Zhang Xiu of Wancheng got the news.
Compared with Cao Cao's 30,000 troops, Jiangdong's 100,000 troops came with great momentum, which was really more terrifying.
After a brief discussion, Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu appointed Hu Che'er as the leader to urgently defend Cao Cao from attacking the city and resist to the death.
On the other hand, Zhang Xiu personally took Jia Xu, as well as a group of important civil servants and generals, and rushed to the south of Wancheng, twenty miles away, to set up camp and wait for Lu Yi to arrive with a hundred thousand troops.
As soon as Lu Yi's army arrived, Zhang Xiu, Jia Xu, civil servants and generals knelt on the ground and presented the Wancheng seal.
Lu Yi got off the horse, took the seal from Zhang Xiu, and handed it to Shi Huan. Then he helped Zhang Xiu, Jia Xu and others, and comforted them.
The army entered the city.
Zhang Xiu had already prepared a banquet at the mansion to welcome Lu Yi and others.
At the banquet, Zhang Xiu reported on the current situation in Wancheng.
From Cao Cao's second campaign to now, Cao Cao has launched three sieges!
Although the city was not breached, the city walls were extremely damaged, and they could only continue to attack the city once or twice at most.
Lu Yi looked at Jia Xu with a smile and said, "Wen He, what do you think we should do at this time? Just attack the city and attack it?"
Jia Xu said: "I heard that Wu Hou has formed an alliance with Cao Cao?"
Lu Yi nodded.
Jia Xu said: "It would be bad for both sides to attack. Why don't we rest tonight and replace the tired Wancheng soldiers with Jiangdong sergeants tomorrow. When Cao Cao attacks the city next time, Wu Hou will go up to the city wall in person to give Cao Cao A surprise. When Cao Cao sees Wu Hou, he will definitely be overjoyed."
Lu Yi glanced at Jia Xu strangely.
This Jia Xu is indeed full of evil.
At that time, Cao Cao would probably be angry to death.
After finally attacking Wancheng to this point, they found that the latecomers had gained the upper hand and Wancheng had been captured.
Even though he thought so, Lu Yi still said to the others: "Masters, please arrange the arrangements according to Wen He's instructions."
Looking at Cheng Pu, Lu Yi smiled and said: "Captain Zuo, after the banquet, you will lead the army to replace the Wancheng soldiers on the wall."
Cheng Pu laughed loudly, stood up, wiped his beard and said, "This is interesting, I obey my orders!"
Lu Yi looked at Zhu Zhi, Taishi Ci, Wenpin, Zhang Xiu, and Hengjie and said, "You all have a good rest today. When Cao Cao attacks the city again, I will let you all meet him and get to know our Han court." Sikong is now extremely powerful."
"You are my great ministers, how could Sikong not recognize you?"
Everyone laughed wildly and said, "Yes!"
Zhang Xiu couldn't help laughing.
This Wu Hou is young, but he is very good at what he does.
This move will definitely make Cao Cao vomit three liters of blood!
