Seeing Fu Shiren's coyness, Lu Meng suddenly became serious. He directly threatened: "If the general is unwilling to serve Jiangdong, your wife and children may not be preserved. After the war, I will suggest to the lord that they be exiled to Jiangdong." Go to the south of Yangzhou."
The southern part of Yangzhou is vast and sparsely populated, and most of them are now tribes of Yue people in the wild mountains. At this time, Lu Meng had no idea and must let Fu Shiren help.
"Grand Governor, you..."
Fu Shiren was furious. If he hadn't been tricked by this guy, he wouldn't have ended up like this, but there was nothing he could do about it.
"If you keep your mouth shut, you will get credit. General Fu, you have to think on the bright side." Han Dang also advised from the side.
Just when Fu Shiren was about to persuade him to surrender, a scout rode up from the west.
"Grand Governor, the west gate of Jiangling suddenly changed its garrison. Xiang Xun withdrew all the original soldiers and generals. Now the city is full of former captive soldiers."
Lu Meng was startled when he heard this, and thought to himself: Why is Xiang Xun so angry?
"Grand Governor, Ximen may be an opportunity. Should we go over and have a look?" Han Dang reminded quickly.
Lu Meng nodded, and then told Fu Shiren in a deep voice: "The old general and I will go to the west gate to have a look. General Fu will stay here and try to persuade him to surrender. If he doesn't pay attention, his family will be implicated."
"Wei." Fu Shiren clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, lowered his head, and silently scolded Lu Meng ten thousand times.
Lu Meng left immediately after explaining to Han Dang. Several of his followers immediately gathered around Fu Shiren, urging him angrily: "General Fu, you don't want your family to suffer, right? Please continue to work hard to persuade him to surrender, and don't make it difficult for us."
Fu Shiren's face was livid, and he could only move forward bravely. When he walked to the city again, a smile appeared on his stiff face.
"Please come forward and answer the general." Fu Shiren shouted to the soldiers guarding the city.
After a while, Xiang Xun stood at the top of the city, looked at the city with contempt and snorted: "Not only are you unfaithful and unjust, you are also extremely shameless. How can you survive in the world?"
Fu Shiren thought of his family and changed his previous shyness. He ignored the other party's insult and said calmly: "General Xiang is so majestic. He seems to have forgotten his identity back then, the down-and-out bastard of the Xiang family."
Xiang Xun heard the implication of Fu Shiren's words, but he never changed his expression and responded loudly: "In the face of national events, all personal feelings must be put aside. I think you surrender to the enemy and treason, and you will not be happy, right?"
"As a general, you must learn to assess the situation. Now that Jiangling is in danger, if Brother Xiang continues to resist stubbornly, it will not only harm the people in the city, but also implicate the Xiang family. This is very unwise.
If Brother Xiang can comply with God's will, the governor will promise not to harm the people, and the interests of the Xiang family will be protected. Now that Pang, Ma, Xiang, Xi and other wealthy families have all entered Shu, the branches behind you may become powerful families in Jingzhou. This kind of opportunity comes only once in a century. I hope the general will think twice before taking this opportunity. "Fu Shiren used both kindness and power, constantly putting pressure on Xiang Xun.
"Bah, how can I imitate you and betray the country for glory? How can Sun Quan compare with the king of Hanzhong? I see that you are not as good as before after you became a thief. It is better to kill Lu Meng and get rid of the crime. In this way, I can still rely on my old friendship to win the title of King of Hanzhong. I will give you a kind word to plead with the king." Xiang Xun rebels tried to incite Fu Shiren.
Fu Shiren looked around in surprise. What Xiang Xun just said was also heard by Lu Meng. He quickly raised his voice in an attempt to cover up what he said.
"General Xiang, are you really stubborn? You know, after the city is defeated, everyone will be destroyed."
"I have to wait until death. If you dare to persuade me again, I will be waiting for you with random arrows."
Xiang Xun answered sonorously and forcefully, and the soldiers on the city wall raised their bows and arrows in order. Fu Shiren saw that he could no longer speak, so he led his horse to retreat towards the main formation. On the way back to the horse, he made a gesture of spreading his hands to his entourage, which meant that I had indeed tried my best.
Lü Meng's personal entourage escorted Fu Shiren back to the camp. They felt the degree of effort in persuading him to surrender, but they also remembered Xiang Xun's instigation of rebellion and planned to report it to Lü Meng in detail later.
Lu Meng and Han Dang moved to the west gate of Jiangling and saw the defenders on the city wall from a distance, patrolling back and forth in a decent manner. They seemed not to be affected by the previous rumors of the Arrow Book.
"It's really strange. How dare Xiang Xun let the prisoners defend the city independently? Aren't you afraid that they will mutiny?" Lu Meng frowned.
"If something unexpected happens, there must be a monster. It's better to step forward and take a look at the situation first." Han Dang clasped his fists and spoke.
The two then led their horses forward to the city. Lü Meng pointed his riding whip at the young generals on the city and said jokingly: "You were defeated by Guan Yu, how can you become a traitor now? My lord has formed an alliance with the King of Wei to fight against the traitors together." Liu Bei and Guan Yu, why don't you just open the city gate, so that you can return home with honor."
"It turns out that Sun Quan and Cao Cao were in cahoots together. You worked hard for these villains who broke the alliance and attacked. You should have a resounding name, right?" The young general on the city glared at him.
Lü Meng was about to get angry when he was teased by the young general. Han Dang, who was beside him, pointed at him and introduced: "This is Lü Meng, the mighty general of Jiangdong, the governor of Jiangdong. Lü Ziming is the one who surrenders to the city if he knows what he is looking for."
"Oh? So it's General Shuwei? As expected, he has the head of a deer and the eyes of a rat. Go back to the Jiangdong Rat's Nest." The young general laughed.
Although Lu Meng had been scolded a lot in his life, he had never been bullied by a young man. After hearing this, he became furious and said, "You bastard little thief, are you a patrolling soldier or a forbidden general? You know that trouble comes from the mouth. Is Guan Yu arrogant enough? I am here to take his life."
"Are you a rat like you? You also want to take my father's life?" Guan Xingxu raised his eyes and spoke in a serious tone.
Lu Meng's head was filled with confusion. This young man actually claimed to be the son of Guan Yu. Wasn't his son Guan Ping, who was a soldier in the army, in Fancheng? So he asked in surprise: "Who are you?"
"Young master Guan Xing, the second son of the Guan family, you wash your necks and wait for death." Guan Xing's eyes were cold.
"Grand Governor, although this son is young, like his father, he seems to be too unruly." Han Dang leaned over and whispered.
Lu Meng was not angry but happy when he heard this. Arrogant young people are easy to be impulsive. If Guan Xing can be captured out of the city, isn't Jiangling City within easy reach?
Thinking of this, Lu Meng whispered in Han Dang's ear.
Han Dang showed an incredible expression after hearing this, "Is this...is this appropriate? The other party is just a child..."
"Old general, there is no need to feel guilty. If you want to blame him, blame him for being Guan Yu's son." Lu Meng's eyes were firm and cunning.
Han Dang swallowed his saliva, took two steps forward on horseback, pointed at Guan Xing on the city and shouted: "It turns out that he is the son of Guan Yu who is not worthy of his name. Because my general was not present, he killed Hua Xiong by warming the wine and killed him." When the three heroes fight against Lu Bu, where will it be Guan Yu's turn to shine? If Yan Liang had been in my place, he would have beheaded Guan Yu long ago. Why are you so arrogant in front of me?"
"Old man, how dare you bark?"
No one has ever questioned Guan Yu's martial arts. When Guan Xing saw Han Dang slandering him like this, a ball of anger rushed directly to his head.
Han Dang was also helpless. Lu Meng asked him to deliberately belittle Guan Yu, thereby stimulating the young and irritable Guan Xing.
"I said that killing Guan Yu is like killing a dog. As for a dog like you, I can kill him with one hand. Do you dare to come out of the city and try?" Han Dang raised his sword in provocation.
"Old man, just wait for me."
Guan Xing turned around and walked down the city, but he bumped into someone at the corner of the stairs.
"An Guo, you are not on duty in the city, where are you going in such a panic?" Lan Ji looked confused.
Guan Xing replied with gritted teeth: "There is an old thief outside the city who insulted my father. I will go out of the city and kill him."
"Could it be a scam?" Lan Ji asked.
Guan Xingzhi shook his head: "There is only a small group of people outside the city, maybe they came to find out the truth."
"You'd better go to the city and keep an eye on him. I'll go out to vent my anger on my uncle." Lan Ji grabbed the other party.
"But..." Guan Xing hesitated.
"Nothing but, don't forget that I am a military commander. You don't have any military position yet, just obey the orders. Besides, my horse should be faster." Lan Ji's eyes were firm.
"Okay." Guan Xing sighed and turned around to go upstairs.
