Chapter 515 Lu Meng’s trick
It is said that under the long white clouds and above the vast expanse of waves, Zhuge Liang pointed at the mountains and rivers on the other side from the top of the Yellow Crane Tower, which made Sun Zhongmou feel determined. When everyone gathered, Sun Quan announced that he would go to Lujiang with Zhuge Liang and Lu Su tomorrow to meet Sun Ce and Sun Bofu, the lord of Jiangdong.
Ruoxue and Mengxue were overjoyed, thinking that they would go to Lujiang to meet the Erqiao sisters the next day. Sun Quan politely refused because of the fierce fighting in Jiangbei, but General Lu Meng suddenly smiled and interjected: "Master Zhongmou and Kong Ming and others are going to discuss important matters with the lord. I will arrange to protect Daxue and Xiaoxue. After all, Qiao's hometown is far away from the port. It's close. If something happens, you can immediately board the ship and return to Jiangxia. Besides, I have already promised heavy snow. Master, please don't let me break my promise."
As soon as the words came out, whether it was Sun Quan, Zhuge Liang, or Gan Ning, they couldn't help but frown. Regardless of the superior-subordinate relationship between Lu Meng and Sun Quan, even if they were close friends, it was not Lu Meng's turn to agree to Mengxue. Lu Meng was just an officer under Sun Quan, and he and Mengxue were strangers. Why did he plead for Mengxue?
Lu Meng obviously felt the attention of everyone, and explained calmly: "I had a great chat with Sister Daxue just now. When she talked about the scenery of Jingzhou, I was very yearning for it. Sister Daxue made an agreement with me just now, as long as I After the war, I helped the sisters fulfill their long-cherished wish to meet the two daughters from Qiao's hometown. She invited me to Xiangyang as a guest after the war and personally acted as my guide. I thought that since Sun Long would unite and form an alliance forever, such a serious and beautiful invitation, How could I miss it? So I can only agree with my heart and ask for your understanding."
Sun Quan couldn't help but glance at Ruoxue, who was looking forward to it. Seeing her red lips smiling and beautiful eyes looking forward to it, he couldn't help laughing and said: "So that's it! It is indeed the hardest thing to accept the kindness of a beauty! Since you agreed, Lu Ziming, I won't either So that the beauty is disappointed. In this case, let's set off together tomorrow morning. Ziming, I will allocate you another thousand guards to escort the two Xue sisters to Qiao's hometown as soon as they get off the boat. Remember, if Sister Daxue and Sister Xiaoxue have If there is any damage, a thousand of you will show up together!"
Lu Meng responded with a "yes", and before Ruoxue even shouted a cheer, Zhuge Liang's voice had already sounded: "No. It's very important to go here, and there may be an ambush along the way. General Gan, you two girls are waiting here. But, it’s not too late to see Sister Erqiao again when she returns. By the way, don’t Daxue and Xiaoxue have other things to do?” He winked at Gan Ning.
Although Gan Ning was unhappy, he also understood that Zhuge Liang did not want Erxue to follow him to a dangerous place, so he hurriedly said: "That's right! Sister, sister, don't you want to see Kong Ming's sister-in-law?" As soon as he said this, he suddenly saw Zhuge Liang raised his eyebrows and shook his feather fan wildly. He sensed something was wrong and hurriedly covered his mouth and nose without saying anything. My mind hadn't turned around yet, but the words had been spoken and it was too late to regret.
Sure enough, Zhuge Liang was very angry when he heard this. Gan Ning, you are a pig. Zhuge Jin's wife is also in Jiangdong. To meet Erqiao sisters and to meet the elder sister-in-law, they have to go deep into Jiangdong area. What's the difference for Erxue?
Sure enough, Lu Meng laughed and said: "This is even easier. The family members of Zhuge Ziyu, the eldest brother of Kong Ming, are far away in Jiankang, which can be reached by boat in a day and a night. There is no war there yet, we can arrange another boat to send the two Sister Xue goes to Jiankang. Wouldn't it be better to wait until they have visited Kong Ming's sister-in-law and then return to Lujiang or Xiakou to meet Er Qiao according to the situation? Brother Gan Ning, don't worry, I will personally escort the two sisters to ensure that no harm is done to the two sisters. Not a single hair."
As soon as Lu Meng said this, Zhuge Liang, Gan Ning and others were all dumbfounded. There was nothing wrong with his words and they couldn't refuse. Zhuge Liang and Gan Ning looked at each other, but Zhuge Liang nodded in agreement. Mengxue and Ruoxue cheered. They were not very scheming. Being able to go to Jiankang to meet their sister-in-law first satisfied their wish. What's more, they had heard that Jianye was prosperous, Jinling was rich, Qinhuai was fragrant, and the purple and gold were beautiful. This time they could Seeing it together is the journey I have dreamed of since childhood.
Everyone's plan was decided. Sun Quan took everyone downstairs and personally introduced him to the largest hotel in Xiakou City to stay overnight. They agreed to gather together in the evening to drink and catch the wind. Zhuge Liang finally had the opportunity to meet Gan Ning alone in the upper room and sighed: "Now we are in trouble."
Gan Ning had a question mark on his forehead. He had been holding it in for a long time. Hearing this, he quickly asked: "Where is the trouble? I still need to consult the military advisor."
Zhuge Liang said: "Have you ever heard of what a hostage is?"
Gan Ning smiled and said, "Of course! Back then I was known as the Jinfan Thief, and I kidnapped many wealthy young men. All of them were my hostages, and the hostages were fresh goods that could be exchanged for money!"
Zhuge Liang sighed and cursed: "You are really a pig-brained person when you say you have no brains! My two good sisters are now hostages! This Lu Meng has a lot of meaning in what he does, and he is a good opponent."
Gan Ning was shocked when he heard this. He sat down and thought about it carefully, then he realized what he was doing and said, "What a Lu Ziming! He's so sinister, I'll cut him right now." He turned around and rushed out of the upper room.
Zhuge Liang grabbed Gan Ning and said, "You need to calm down for a while. For the sake of the current plan, for the sake of the Sun Long Alliance, I have to sacrifice my two sisters, knock out my teeth and swallow them in my stomach, and let my two sisters go to build a healthy life." . With this move, Lu Meng must have expected that I would force Sun Quan to give up protecting Huang Zu and hand over Queyue City to our Qinglong Army. He was reluctant, so he thought of a way to take us two hostages. When the time comes If we defeat Huang Zu and occupy Queyue City, they will use our two sisters to blackmail us, demand co-governance of Queyue City, and even ask us to withdraw from Queyue City."
Gan Ning took a breath and said, "So that's it! I never expected that Lu Meng could be so vicious!" After thinking about it, this matter was really tricky, and there was no good way to deal with it. They are polite and help your people realize their wishes. Are you going to accuse them of conspiracy? It's like a dumb person eating Coptis chinensis and unable to express the pain.
Gan Ning sat down stupidly, scratched his head and asked: "What should I do? I boasted about Ruoxue for a long time, but I didn't expect that I would send Ruoxue into the wolf's den myself. Kong Ming, think about it quickly, there is something more to this matter What's the solution?"
Zhuge Liang shook his head slightly and said: "We can't fight openly, we can only snatch them back secretly. However, Lu Meng brought the army and horses, which is called protection, but actually surveillance. Only the lord's special forces can successfully snatch people in Jianye."
Gan Ning shook his head and said: "Special Forces? Weren't you brought to Xiliang by the lord to rescue the Red Mistress?" The Red Mistress is naturally Diao Chan, her real name is Ren Hongchang, and the Green Dragon Army calls her the Red Mistress.
Zhuge Liang thought for a while and said: "This is the only way. You first send people to Huang Zhong's place in Hanyang immediately, and then Ming Xi Zhi sends troops to capture Queyue City immediately, at all costs. Then send people to Zhao Yun's place in Wancheng, Mingzi When Longtun troops arrived at the Yiyang border, once they captured Huang Zu, they immediately detoured and led troops across the border to attack Hefei City, and joined forces with Huang Zhong who crossed Lu'an to attack Hefei City. General Gan Ning's troops could cooperate with the Jiangdong Army of Lujiang County and obey Zhou Gongjin dispatched and protected the flanks of Queyue City. I was in Lujiang City, supervising the movements of Cao Jun and Sun Jun, and comprehensively deploying the Qinglong Army. At the same time, I sent people back to Chang'an to wait for news about the lord. Once the lord welcomes the return of the Red Mistress, please He immediately arranged for the special operations division to go to Jianye to rescue the two sisters. As long as the hostages are taken back, we will occupy Queyue City and give them to no one. Then it will be Jiangdong's turn to break his teeth and swallow them. "
Gan Ning nodded in agreement and immediately went back to his room to summon his subordinates to arrange everything. At the same time, in the palace of the lord of Xiakou City, Lu Meng was reporting to Sun Quan. After hearing this, Sun Quan scolded: "Lv Ziming, although your matter is beneficial to Jiangdong, it has lost its integrity! If you take advantage of sisters Daxue and Xiaoxue, if The matter is exposed and the Qinglong Army comes to ask for someone. Should we give it to them or not? What will their sisters think of me? What will the world think of me? How will I explain myself in front of my big brother?"
Sun Quan scolded Lü Meng bloody well, but the facts could not be changed. Early the next morning, Gan Ning was on standby at Huanghe Military Port, cooperating with Huang Zhong and Xi Zhicai to seize Queyue City. The other two large ships transferred out of Huanghe Military Port, and Zhuge Erxue went straight to Jiankang under the escort of Lu Meng. Zhuge Liang, Lu Su, Sun Quan and others said goodbye to the sisters "Daxue and Xiaoxue" and rushed to the frontal battlefield opposite Cao's army in Lujiang City. Going to Lujiang, the Battle of Hefei and the Battle of Lujiang were raging. Many heroes gathered on the right side of the river, and blood was stained all over the Dabie Mountains and Chaohu Lake. The three largest forces in the late Eastern Han Dynasty were about to be strangled here.
