"General, make a decision early!"
Lu Chang frowned. For a moment, he couldn't make any decision, so he just frowned tightly.
"First escort those dozens of people to Shenyang Prison, and then deal with them later!"
Seeing that Lu Chang did not punish the deserters on the spot, the hope rising in the lieutenant's heart became greater and greater.
Defend the city?
What city to defend!
Their family background is all in Jingzhou, so why would they sacrifice their lives for Wei in Runan?
How wonderful it would be to go back to Jingzhou, to your own place!
My family, they are all in Jingzhou!
They have been guarding the Wei State for more than two years, but they have not seen anyone from the Wei State look directly at them.
They are people, not numbers, and they are not livestock to feed arrows to.
"General, please think of the tens of thousands of good men in Jingzhou! Their families are in Xinxi City now. Please let them reunite, General!"
Reunion?
"snort!"
boom!
Lu Chang snorted heavily and slapped the document beside him with his hand. The expression on his face became extremely angry, and the veins on his neck swelled, as if he wanted to eat the person whole.
Terrible.
"If you dare to say one more thing, don't blame me for ignoring our friendship of many years!"
Clang!
Lu Chang pulled out the sword from his waist. The sword was sharp and cut off a corner of the document.
Seeing this situation, how could the deputy general dare to say anything?
His face turned pale immediately and he did not dare to say another word.
"Back off!"
The lieutenant general looked cowardly, but he could only bow to Lu Chang and slowly exit the lobby.
"Hey~"
After the deputy general left, Lu Chang fell heavily on the tiger skin cushion.
He can angrily scold the deputy general, he can suppress the army for a while, but he cannot suppress the army for a lifetime.
Let alone a lifetime, I am afraid that in a few days, I may not be able to suppress it anymore.
Once the morale of the army changes, he, who is in charge of the general, will not follow the trend, but go against it. No matter how high his prestige is, he is still in danger of being chopped into pieces by the sergeants of the army.
Disaster!
It’s difficult~
At this time, the deputy general who had just left the lobby came back again.
Seeing this person leave and come back, Lu Chang couldn't help but raise his heart.
He silently put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and at the same time looked vigilantly at the deputy general to see if there were any big, muscular men following him.
He thought in his mind: Could it be that after being reprimanded by me, he became angry and went to persuade the army sergeants to chop me into meat paste?
"General, Duke Jia has arrived."
Duke Jia has arrived.
Phew~
Lu Chang slowly exhaled a breath, half of his worries were relieved.
fine...
Not here to kill me.
"Please invite Mr. Jia to come over quickly."
"promise!"
The deputy general lowered his head, not daring to look at Lu Chang. If he dared to raise his head, he would see Lu Chang sweating profusely.
Between life and death, who can look at it indifferently?
There may be people, but among these people, there is definitely no one like him, Lu Chang.
soon.
Jia Xu, who was a bit stooped, slowly stepped into the lobby.
Jia Xu's hair has completely turned silver-white, long and fluffy, like silver threads. This touch of silver looked particularly bright under his black robe.
His forehead is covered with wrinkles, especially between his eyebrows, where the accumulation of time reveals his wisdom and vicissitudes of character.
"Lü often met Mr. Jia."
Lu Chang bowed his hands to Jia Xu.
"Meet the general."
Jia Xu didn't rely on his old age at all and was very easy-going.
The skin on his face is saggy, but he still maintains a healthy complexion. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, showing a hint of a smile.
"I just came in from outside the city, but I didn't see any Han troops attacking the city. I wonder why the general asked for reinforcements?"
"Hey~"
Lu Chang sighed and said to Jia Xu: "Jia Gong, please sit down."
After Jia Xu sat down, he returned to the main seat and sat down slowly.
"External worries may not matter, but now internal worries are the most deadly."
Lu Chang laughed at himself and said: "I single-handedly pulled up this group of soldiers guarding Shenyang. They have been fighting with me for nearly ten years. Some soldiers may have been for even longer. However, now I already feel a little... I can no longer control them, I am powerless, and I am even afraid that one day I will be chopped into pieces by them in my sleep, or be tied up in front of the Hanzhong Crown Prince."
The pressure in my heart naturally needs to be vented.
He couldn't vent to his men.
Because he couldn't let his subordinates see his weakness.
Jia Xu is old and has high prestige, so he is naturally a good person to talk to.
"It seems that the general is very worried."
Lu Chang had a wry smile on his face.
Is this something on your mind?
This is a major matter related to wealth and life!
"To be honest, I almost want to surrender..."
"The general is a loyal man, so naturally he would not do something like surrender that would tarnish his reputation."
Lu Chang's face was slightly painful. He looked at Jia Xu and said, "Jia Gong has always been a talented person, and his resourcefulness is unparalleled in the world. Can you teach me at this moment?"
teach?
Jia Xu smiled softly and said: "In crises, there are often opportunities. It is the so-called misfortune that blessings rely on, and blessings that misfortune lies behind."
Misfortunes are where blessings depend, and blessings are where misfortunes lie.
The bitter smile on Lu Chang's face became even worse.
"Now I only have misfortune, and it is also a calamity that kills me. Where can I get the blessing?"
Jia Xu shook his head gently, his face like old tree bark had a pair of wise eyes full of wisdom.
"The situation the general is currently in is indeed not good, but it is also an opportunity for the general. Why didn't the general take advantage of the opportunity of the army sergeant to surrender and surrender to the Hanzhong Crown Prince?"
"Is Mr. Jia here to make fun of me? I, Lu Changfei, am as capricious as Yu Wenze!"
Jia Xu looked very serious.
"Of course not."
Lu often saw that Jia Xu's face didn't look like he was joking, so he knew there was truth in his words.
"Then Mr. Jia means... to let me surrender?"
Jia Xu nodded, then shook his head, which confused Lu Chang.
"If you say you fake surrender, will your soldiers listen to you? In other words, even if they listen to you, won't the news of your fake surrender reach the ears of the Crown Prince of Hanzhong?"
Now Shenyang's Jingzhou soldiers are probably infiltrated like a sieve by the military commander of Liu Chan, the crown prince of Hanzhong.
"Did Mr. Jia...really surrender? Or rather, only a few people knew it was a fake surrender, and the rest of the soldiers really thought they were surrendering?"
Jia Xu stroked his silver beard and nodded gently.
"exactly."
"only..."
Lu Chang was still worried.
"What if they really think they're going to surrender?"
When the time comes, it will be difficult to recover, even if he gave the order, I am afraid he will not be able to buck the trend.
It would be funny if it really turned into surrender.
"Therefore, the general must select a trustworthy and elite army to attack the Han army at the critical moment, and at the same time shout out the momentum to make the Han army think that we are pretending to surrender. Naturally, they will not recruit prisoners, but will attack our army. Those soldiers who really wanted to surrender had to fight with the Han army to save their lives. Later, the general ordered people to say: All the family members in the army are in Xinxi. If you win Xinxi, you can reunite with your family! "
"If I can capture and kill Liu Gongsi, the crown prince of Hanzhong, I will be rich and noble for a lifetime, and be granted the title of marquis and general!"
The smile on Jia Xu's face was very warm, but after hearing this, Lu Chang only felt cold.
This is playing with people's hearts!
Lu Chang felt a little scared unconsciously.
No wonder Jia Xu is called a poisonous man. In what Lu Chang thought was a desperate situation, he was the only one who could come up with such a vicious plan.
"Does Mr. Jia want to attack Xinxi? Capture Mr. Liu alive?"
"If it's possible, then it's best. If it's not possible, it's not impossible to break the Han army's plan and ease the situation in Runan. You can achieve multiple things with one stone, so why not do it?"
Jia Xu stood up slowly. He stared directly at Lu Chang and asked, "General, what do you think of this plan?"
how?
Now besides making dangerous moves, is there any other way to go?
surrender?
Absolutely impossible!
His posthumous reputation as Lu Chang was more important than his own reputation.
Then feign surrender!
Attack the Han army, break the news, capture and kill Liu Gongsi, the crown prince of Hanzhong, and achieve unparalleled achievements!
Misfortune lies where blessings depend, and blessing lies where misfortune lies!
I, Lu Chang, want to turn this misfortune into a blessing!
Mr. Liu, if you dare to disturb the morale of our army, I will take your head and use it as a chamber pot!
