"It won't take long before I kill Lu Xun!"
Li Jun's shocking threats outside Yiling City echoed in Yiling City. Every sentence, every word, was like a sharp blade, cutting through Lu Xun's mind.
Although Lu Xun's face remained cold, his eyes were slightly opened, showing a hint of fright.
When he saw Sun Huan's body placed on the city wall, Lu Xun's eyes gradually became cold and murderous.
"Captain, the general is incompetent and failed to save General Sun Huan's life in time! Please punish me, Commander-in-Chief!" Han Dang knelt down on one knee towards Lu Xun, his old face filled with grief and his tone was trembling,
All the Soochow generals knew that Lu Xun was strict in running the army and his military law was as good as the mountain. Han Dang failed to complete the order, causing Sun Huan to be shot through the heart by Li Jun a hundred steps away. He died on the spot. This was a crime of dereliction of duty, so they all stood up. Come out and plead for Han Dang.
"Grand Governor, the death of General Sun Huan was caused by a cold arrow shot from the back by a young general of the Shu army. When the old general Han Dang left the city, General Sun Huan had already been hit by an arrow in his back and was unable to save himself. How could he be saved? Please, Grand Governor Don't punish General Han." Pan Zhang, who was also a general of Soochow, was the first to plead.
"What General Pan said is true. General Han was not at fault for the death of General Sun. I ask the Governor to give him a lighter sentence." Zhuge Jin agreed.
"General Han Dang has made great contributions to Soochow and has outstanding military exploits. I ask the Governor not to punish General Han Dang."
All Soochow generals clasped their fists at Lu Xun and said in unison.
Lu Xun saw that the faces of all the Soochow generals were solemn and their eyes were full of pleading. How could he convict Han Dang again? Soochow had already lost a Sun Huan. If he killed Han Dang again, wouldn't it be a heavy loss? Moreover, Han Dang had made countless contributions to Soochow and was loyal to Soochow. Even if Lu Xun wanted to kill him, he would have to obtain the consent of the great emperor Sun Quan.
Lu Xun was silent for a long time without responding, thinking about how to deal with Sun Huan's death.
After all, Sun Huan was also a clan member of the Soochow royal family, but he was so easily killed by a Shu army general with an arrow. How should he explain to Sun Quan?
a long time,
Lu Xun's eyes flashed with a cold look, "Although the death of General Sun was not Han Dang's fault, he was also responsible for failing to save the emergency. Death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be escaped. Come, take Han Dang down and beat him with thirty military sticks. !”
Pan Zhang and other Soochow generals still wanted to plead for mercy. After all, Han Dang was too old to withstand such trouble.
Just as he was about to speak, Lu Xun pushed him back with his sharp eyes.
"General, thank you for not killing me!" Han Dang bowed to Lu Xun and strode down the tower.
"Grand Commander, the Shu army shot and killed our general, which is a great shame and humiliation for us. Tonight, the general has asked for orders and is willing to lead a thousand cavalry out of the city to attack the Shu army camp to avenge General Sun Huan." A young man said. The general stepped out with a solemn expression, clasped his fists and shouted to Lu Xun.
Lu Xun looked back and saw that the young general was Luo Tong.
Lu Xun did not answer immediately, but turned sideways to the outside of the city and looked into the distance.
"Grand Governor, today the Shu army has a great victory over our army. The soldiers in the barracks will definitely be proud and indulgent and let down their guard. Moreover, they will not expect that we will make a sneak attack at night. We can catch them off guard tonight." As a veteran general, Zhang also deeply agreed with Luo Tong's request.
at this time,
The evening breeze blew, and Lu Xun tied up his hair, and a strand of hair fell down on his face, fluttering in the wind.
It added a touch of desolation and loneliness to him.
Silent for a long time,
I just heard Lu Xun let out a long sigh, full of helplessness, "The secret of heaven has been leaked, and the destiny is not there."
"this?"
When the generals of Soochow heard this, they looked at each other in astonishment. They didn't understand what Lu Xun meant by this.
"Grand Governor, you..." Zhuge Jin couldn't help but ask.
"General Sun Huan will be buried with dignity. Please do not act without authorization tonight. Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed. Tomorrow will be a life and death battle. Be mentally prepared." Lu Xun walked slowly past Zhuge Jin with a lonely expression. Walk to the downstairs of Yiling City.
"Grand Governor..." All the Soochow generals saw that Lu Xun was very abnormal at this time, and they couldn't help but shouted in unison.
"I'm tired! I want to have a good night's rest."
I only heard Lu Xun sighing from the stairs of the tower.
The faces of the Soochow generals changed. This was the first time they saw Lu Xun so lonely and helpless.
What happened?
They didn't know that at this moment, Lu Xun had already felt a lot of helplessness and sadness in the war against the Shu army.
The successive failures completely destroyed Lu Xun's strong psychological defense.
…………
Yiling Road,
Chicken Ridge Valley.
This place is located twenty miles outside Yiling City, with lush woods and tall hills, undulating like blue waves.
The sky is dark, and the surrounding mountain scenery has turned into a dark color.
On the winding Yiling Road, military flags fluttered in the wind, and firelight continued. Like a huge dragon of fire, coiling in the earth, it is extremely majestic.
A large banner with Chinese characters dances in the night sky,
It turned out that this huge army was Liu Bei's 40,000-strong army.
When Liu Bei saw Jiling Valley, it was unusually quiet, and he was immediately surprised.
Jiling Valley was captured by the Shu army as early as yesterday and has become an important stronghold for the Shu army to besiege Yiling City.
However, at this moment, it was unusually quiet, and as we approached the military camp, from a distance, we saw that the military camp was plunged into darkness, with only a few lights at the gate of the military camp swaying in the wind.
"Your Majesty, please order the army to delay entering the camp!" Counselor Ma Liang looked around with wary eyes and said urgently to Liu Bei.
"Ji Chang, do you think so too?" Liu Bei's expression changed and he asked in a deep voice.
Ma Liang nodded heavily, "The Jiling Valley position has been breached by our army. Before attacking Yiling City, two thousand soldiers were left to guard it. But now, the military camp is quiet and terrifying, pitch black, and the gate is unguarded. With me, See, this place has been retaken by Wu Jun..."
"Not good!" Ma Liang suddenly thought of something and his face was horrified, "Your Majesty, there is an ambush from the Wu army, retreat quickly!"
Liu Bei was about to give an order when a deafening shout of death came from the surrounding hills.
Looking around,
There are many military flags and swords and swords!
The hills were filled with Wu soldiers armed with spears and torches, charging towards the Shu army.
In the Jilinggu military camp, the door suddenly opened, and the military camp, which had been dark just now, suddenly burst into flames, and the lights were bright, like daylight.
Immediately afterwards,
Countless Wu soldiers rushed out from inside.
"Haha! Liu Bei, you are finally here. But I, Xu Sheng, have been waiting for a long time."
There was a burst of laughter among the Wu army,
then,
A veteran appeared at the gate of the military camp. Although his hair was white and his face was old, he was tall and muscular. He was holding a long black knife and galloped out.
