After Lu Xun learned that Jingzhou was forcibly transferred, he immediately sent someone to report to Sun Quan overnight. Sun Quan summoned Lu Meng to discuss: "I didn't expect that Guan Yu actually withdrew the troops from Jingzhou and concentrated his strength to attack Fancheng. Yu Yi also If you are not in Jingzhou, now is the best time to plan a sneak attack on Jingzhou. My brother Sun Jiao and I will bring troops and horses to respond. What do you think?" Sun Jiao, also known as Shuming, is the second son of Sun Quan's uncle Sun Jing. . Lu Meng said: "If my lord thinks I can be used, he will always use me. If he thinks Sun Jiao can be used, he will be used. Haven't you heard that before, Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu were the commanders-in-chief of the left and right? Although the matter depends on Zhou Yu , but Cheng Pu regarded himself as an old minister, and the relationship between the two was not harmonious. Later, Cheng Pu saw Zhou Yu's talent, and then he respected him. Now my talent is not as good as Zhou Yu's, and Shu Ming's closeness is higher than that of Cheng Pu. , I’m afraid it won’t work well either!”
Sun Quan understood the meaning after hearing this, and immediately appointed Lu Meng as the governor-general, taking overall control of the troops and horses in Jiangdong. He only sent Sun Jiao to be responsible for grain and grass-related matters in the rear.
Lu Meng thanked him, counted 30,000 troops and horses, and more than 80 fast ships. He selected some people who were good at water as businessmen. They all wore white clothes and rowed on the ships. He hid all the elite soldiers inside the hull, and then transferred to Han Dang. , Jiang Qin, Zhu Ran, Pan Zhang, Zhou Tai, Xu Sheng, Ding Feng and other seven generals advanced one after another. The others followed Wu Hou as backup, and at the same time sent envoys to write to Cao Cao, asking for troops to attack Guan Yu's rear. At the same time, they sent people to notify Lu Xun, and then sent the men in white to drive the fast boat to the Xunyang River. He sneaked day and night until he reached the north bank. When the sergeant guarding the beacon tower by the river came to interrogate him, he simply replied: "We are all merchants. Because of the strong wind in the river, we will take shelter here for the time being and leave immediately."
The soldiers believed it after hearing this, and let the ships temporarily moored by the river. Until the second watch, suddenly a team of elite soldiers came out of the ships and subdued all the soldiers on the beacon tower. With a signal, more than 80 elite ships continued When they reached the shore, they controlled all the soldiers guarding the critical points and entered the ship without leaving a single person.
In this way, Lü Meng solved the problem of the beacon tower without anyone noticing, and continued to Jingzhou. When he arrived in Jingzhou, Lü Meng persuaded the soldiers captured from the beacon tower, and at the same time gave them a heavy reward. Open the city gate, and then agree to set fire to the order.
After everyone took the order, Lu Meng asked the Jingzhou soldiers to take the lead. Waiting until midnight, he went to the city to call the gate. The gatekeepers knew that they were Jingzhou's own soldiers and horses, so they opened the city gate directly without telling Huang Shumin. Suddenly, there was a shout, and at the city gate He set fire inside, and the Wu army immediately rushed in and attacked Jingzhou. Lu Meng ordered the soldiers, saying: "If anyone kills anyone casually or takes the people's finances casually, he will be dealt with according to military law!" Everyone was ordered to kill in the direction of Jingzhou. go.
Huang Shumin was restless that night, so she came to find Wu Chenggong and Ye Huatong. None of the three of them slept. Huang Shumin said: "I don't know why, but my heart is filled with panic and I feel very uncomfortable!"
Wu Chenggong said: "Maybe he is too worried. Lei Chunze left not long ago, and he should be able to wait until the young master arrives in time."
Ye Huatong said: "I hope so. Every time we encounter a critical situation, our young master can always arrive in time!"
At this time, a fire suddenly broke out in the direction of the city gate, and shouts came again. The three people quickly looked in the direction of the city gate, only to hear that the Wu army had marched straight into the city.
Huang Shumin said: "Now that the Wu army is making a sneak attack, we don't know whether it's true or not, so we have to plan as soon as possible!"
At this time, Wu Jun was already in front of him. Huang Shumin attacked while talking and killed him in one turn.
Wu Chenggong pushed the soldiers aside and said: "The incident happened suddenly. We can't wait for the young master to come back. It's better to abandon Jingzhou and lead Tang Lin's army to retreat first to save our effective strength!"
Ye Huatong also agreed with Wu Chenggong's suggestion, so the three immediately gathered all the Tanglin troops, rescued the Jingzhou troops who could be rescued, and retreated towards the back gate of Jingzhou.
Because a large number of troops were mobilized and the gates of Jingzhou were opened so easily, the Wu army captured Jingzhou with overwhelming force. Lu Meng ordered the officials who had been appointed to Jingzhou to continue to operate, and sent Guan Yu's family members to other houses to recuperate. Idle people came to disturb him, and at the same time he sent someone to report the situation to Sun Quan.
Suddenly a soldier came to report and said: "There is a group of people leaving from behind the city gate. Do you need to chase them?"
Lu Meng waved his hand and said: "There is no need to fear the weak soldiers and generals. Let's stabilize the situation in Jingzhou first!"
On the second day, it started to rain heavily. Lu Meng got on his horse and took several cavalrymen to see the four gates. Suddenly he saw a man covering his armor with folk chopsticks. .
Lu Meng said: "Although you are my fellow countryman, if you still come after my orders have been issued, you should be dealt with according to military law."
The man burst into tears and said, "I was afraid that the rain would wet the official's armor, so I took it to cover it. It was not for my own personal reasons. I hope the general will take care of the friendship between our fellow villagers!"
Lu Meng said: "Of course I know you did this to cover the armor, but you should never take things from the people, which is against military law." After saying this, he asked the left and right officers to go down and behead him, show his head to the public, and then collect his body. He was buried while crying. This incident spread throughout the three armies, so they were all punished.
In less than a day, Sun Quan arrived with the follow-up troops. Lu Meng came out of the city to greet him. Sun Quan comforted him and asked Pan Jun to be the governor of Jingzhou. He released Yu Jin from the prison and asked him to return to Cao Cao. Go, then appease the people, reward the soldiers, and set up a banquet to celebrate.
Sun Quan said to Lu Meng: "Now that Jingzhou has been obtained, how can we recover these two places, Fu Shiren of Public Security Bureau and Mi Fang of Nanjun County?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a man suddenly came out and said, "You don't need to draw a bow or an arrow. With my sharp tongue, I will persuade the policeman Fu Shiren to surrender. How about it?"
When everyone saw that it was Yu Fan, Sun Quan said: "What good way do you have to make Fu Shiren surrender?"
He replied: "I have a very good relationship with him since I was a child. If Xiao says he is so powerful, he will definitely surrender."
Sun Quan was very happy after hearing this, and immediately took 500 soldiers to Yu Fan and fled towards the police.
By the way, Huang Shumin and others, with less than a thousand soldiers and horses, went to the police to join Fu Shiren and told them everything about Jingzhou being attacked. When Fu Shiren heard that Jingzhou was gone, he immediately ordered the city gates to be closed and set up a banquet. Treat Huang Shumin and others.
Huang Shumin was known as a selfless person in Jingzhou, and she offended many people during the handling of the case, including a relative of Fu Shiren.
