Mi Han

Chapter 56 Lu Meng's Conspiracy
Sun Quan has a broad face, a straight nose bridge, a full forehead, and a dense but not miscellaneous beard under his lips, which is dark and neat.

In terms of appearance alone, Sun Quan, who sits at the head of the Jiangdong ministers, is quite majestic and worthy of being the master.

Sun Quan, who is nearly forty this year, has been in charge of Jiangdong for more than ten years.

In the past ten years in charge of Jiangdong, Sun Quan has already subdued the governance of Jiangdong's officials through various means of checks and balances.

Although Sun Quan's body is half leaning on the foundation at the moment, with a gesture of happiness and anger on his face,
But even so, Sun Quan still vaguely exudes a majestic aura.

This kind of momentum made the Jiangdong ministers in the meeting hall not dare to show any disrespect.

Sun Quan inherited Jiangdong at the age of weak crown, and was able to keep Jiangdong's foundation under the circumstances of wolves and internal instability at that time.

This shows that his own resourcefulness is not low, but he is more biased, and all his resourcefulness points are focused on the art of maneuvering.

The information that Sun Quan holds now was submitted by his spies stationed in Jingnan.

The intelligence records in detail the ins and outs of Mi Yang's recovery of the police.

And when Sun Quan saw that Mi Yang beheaded Shi Ren himself, his heart ached a little.

It took Shi Ren a lot of effort to win him over successfully.

Originally, Sun Quan wanted to rely on Shi Ren to tear apart Guan Yu's defense circle in Jingzhou in one fell swoop.

But now, everything is in vain.

How could this make Sun Quan not feel angry.

Then Sun Quan held up the "sincere" letter written to him by Xu Xiang, begging him to send troops to Jingzhou as soon as possible.

Sun Quan, who felt he had been tricked, threw the letter out angrily.

Xu Xiang's letter rolled down the steps with Sun Quan's vigorous force, and rolled several times on the floor of the hall after landing,

In the end it just fell straight on the floor.

The last encounter with this letter represented that his master had been sentenced to death in Sun Quan's mind.

"Xu Xiang and Gu have known each other for dozens of years, and Gu has always been confidant to him. Unexpectedly, he is greedy for life and afraid of death. He wrote this letter for Guan Yu to deceive me."

"And Mi Yang, who dared to use his intellect to destroy my great affairs, should be killed by a thousand knives!"

Sun Quan's face was full of anger, and he gritted his teeth and said the above words to the Jiangdong officials in the hall.

With the information sent by the police, Sun Quan just belatedly realized what the real purpose of Xu Xiang's letter was.

He even vaguely guessed that maybe all of this came from Mi Yang's plan.

After all, Mi Yang is Mi Fang's son, and Xu Xiang's whereabouts are unknown because he was acting as a lobbyist to lure Mi Fang to surrender.

Compared with Mi Fang, who has little talent, Mi Yang, who has risen suddenly recently, is more in line with the object of suspicion in Sun Quan's heart.

When Sun Quan received Xu Xiang's letter, he immediately recognized Xu Xiang's handwriting in the letter.

But because Xu Xiang never showed up from the beginning to the end, he was inevitably suspicious.

He felt that Guan Yu might have coerced Xu Xiang into writing this letter to him, in order to lure him into sending troops as soon as possible.

But because of the fear of Guan Yu in his heart, Sun Quan felt that this was Guan Yu's trick to lure the enemy.

In addition, the spies outside Fancheng later copied a letter of Guan Yu's shooting into Xu Huang's camp and sent it back to Jiangdong, which made Sun Quan firmer in his judgment.

He immediately ordered Lu Meng, who had already arrived in Xunyang, to return to Jianye, thus missing the best time to capture Jingzhou.

But now it seems that what kind of tactic is that to lure the enemy, it is obviously a tactic of suspicious soldiers.

If Guan Yu had taken precautions early on and set up a trick to lure the enemy,
Not to mention, relying on its own prestige,
Guan Yu only needs to go to the police and walk around, and Shi Ren will have to be arrested without a fight.

Why did Mi Yang take risks to win the police?

Guan Yu set up this strategy of suspicious troops in order to delay the timing of his sending troops so that he would have time to return to defend Jiangling.

So that Mi Yang has time to take down the police and get rid of Shiren, the Jiangdong internal response.

When all the truth was revealed, Sun Quan only felt that he had become a huge joke.

When Sun Quan got angry, all Jiangdong ministers in the hall trembled in fear, only one person dared to raise his head to Sun Quan and said,
"Supreme!"

"The matter has come to this, it is useless to hate Mi Yang and Xu Xiang.

Now that Supreme has known all of Guan Yu's plans, he should immediately send troops to take down the police and recover Jingzhou. "

The one who dared to speak up when Sun Quan was furious was the number one general in Jiangdong, General Huwei Lu Meng and Lu Ziming.

Seeing that it was Lu Meng who spoke to him, Sun Quan's anger subsided slightly in the face of the general he relied on most now.

After knowing why he recalled him to Jianye, Lu Meng pleaded with him many times, saying that it might be Guan Yu's suspicious strategy.

But it's a pity that I didn't listen to him at the beginning, so that I missed the best opportunity for nothing.

Regarding this point, Sun Quan felt a little guilty towards Lu Meng.

It's just that Sun Quan still has some concerns in his heart.

"Ziming, what you said makes sense."

"However, the Public Security has been taken over by the thieves. The Public Security City is strong. I'm afraid it will not be easy to take it down."

Because he couldn't attack Hefei several times, Sun Quan was already a little bit shadowy about attacking Jiancheng.

Sun Quan would not have accepted Lü Meng's proposal to attack Jingzhou if it hadn't been for the public security guard Shiren's intention to contribute.

Now because of his missed opportunity, the crucial city of Public Security has been taken over by Mi Yang.

Because of the existence of Hefei's shadow, at this time Sun Quan could not avoid muttering in his heart.

Seeing that Sun Quan's will was weak, Lu Meng couldn't help becoming anxious.

He suggested, "Now that Guan Yu's army is restrained by Xu Huang in Fancheng, even if the public security is in the hands of Mi Thief, how many soldiers and horses can he have in his hands?"

"My guess is that the army in Public Security City is no more than [-], or even a few thousand."

"Although Gong'an is a strong city, if the former guards of Gong'an don't repair the city's defenses and don't rule the hearts of the people, the Gong'an city is useless even though it is strong.

Today, the thief has occupied the public security for only half a month. What can he do in such a short period of time?
It will take a long time to cure the people's hearts with anti-defense tools.

If the Supreme Being hesitates any more, the thief is quite capable, and it will take a long time to wait.
The public security city has been repaired, and rescues from Yizhou have arrived, so it will be impossible.

Now Jingzhou is empty, you should take advantage of the emptiness and enter.

If you stay for a few days, Liu Bei's army will arrive, and go down to Jiangdong from the upper reaches, robbing and endangering him.

Looking at this city today, it can't be very strong. With the vigor of the three armies, attack from all sides. If you don't move, you can pull it out. "

Lu Meng spoke earnestly, and in order to get Sun Quan to adopt his suggestion, he bowed his head to the ground.

In the empty meeting hall, the pounding sound caused by Lu Meng's sudden head resounded incessantly, constantly beating on Sun Quan's heart.

Although Lu Meng became an official in Jiangdong in the era of Sun Ce, he was appreciated and promoted by Sun Quan to become what he is today.

For Lu Meng, Sun Quan was his real benefactor.

For Sun Quan, compared with Zhou Yu, Lu Meng can be regarded as a general directly trained by him.

With such an extraordinary relationship between monarchs and ministers, Sun Quan saw Lu Meng kowtowing non-stop, and immediately got up from his seat and came to Lu Meng.

Sun Quan stopped Lu Meng's nodding his head.

After Lu Meng stopped his head, Sun Quan saw that there was a touch of red on his forehead,
Seeing this, Sun Quan was very anxious. He quickly lifted up his princely sleeves and wiped the wound on Lu Meng's forehead.

"Zi Ming! Zi Ming!"

"You are already weak, why should you be so?"
