Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

Chapter 277 If you don't go mad, you don't survive, the devil Lu Xun is born

Guangxin City, the seat of Cangwu County, Jiaozhou.

Since the opening of Lingqu, this city has become the gateway to the Central Plains in Guangdong and Guangxi. It was named after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty quelled the "Lu Jia Rebellion" in South Vietnam!
In terms of geography in later generations, the boundary between Guangxi and Guangdong is Guangxin City.

In winter, when plum blossoms are in full bloom, Lu Meng is drinking with a group of staff and a group of deputy generals in the garden of the Guangxin City Government Office to enjoy the flowers.

Suddenly, Lu Meng's third son, Lu Mu, took out a letter and handed it to Lu Meng.

"This is a letter from Chang Shi Zhang Zhao."

Lu Meng opened it, but was shocked, "What? Marquis Wu went to Hefei again?"

A group of staff members were puzzled, and quickly asked: "Cao Jun led an army of [-] troops to Shouchun south, and the soldiers pointed to Hefei. Wuhou led [-] troops to support Hefei. What's wrong?"

It seems that there is nothing wrong with king against king!

On the contrary, Lu Meng said in a dignified tone: "You know, whether it is the Battle of Chibi, or the Battle of Nanjun, or the recent Battle of Hefei, the main prerequisite for Eastern Wu to win is that Marquis Wu should interfere as little as possible. In these years, in all the battles that Marquis Wu has participated in too many times, which one has not been a disastrous defeat!"

This…

A staff member was taken aback, and the wine glass fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

"Alas..." Lu Meng sighed, "Hefei was finally captured, so don't lose it..."

Having said that, Lu Meng's cheek showed deep worry.

after a while...

Lu Meng seemed to have thought of something again, and asked his son Lu Mu, "Is there any news from Jiaozhou, your two elder brothers?"

Lu Mu shook his head: "Since the Lu family army was wiped out, there has been no envoy from Jiaozhou... The news of the two brothers seems to have disappeared all at once, and there is no more news."

Phew... Lu Meng exhaled lightly.

I thought to myself:

——"I won't be tricked by this Jiaozhou"

——"Or, they want to exchange my son for the peace of the border, or even...want to get back the two counties of Cangwu and Nanhai? 』

Thinking of this, Lu Meng ordered loudly, "Send an envoy to contact Jiaozhou and ask Jiaozhou to return my son! Otherwise, this general will not be polite to them!"

After the words fell, his son Lu Mu could feel his father's anger, and quickly walked out of the garden to arrange...

Seeing how Lu Meng cared so much about his son, all the staff couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Not long after, Lu Mu hurried back again...

A group of staff members are still wondering.

——"Is it arranged so soon?Still have trouble. 』

——"This Lu family Saburo is really far behind the two elder brothers. 』

Lu Meng raised his head slightly, also showing displeasure.

But I heard Lu Mu say loudly: "Father, it's not good... the army, there are troops coming... approaching our Guangxin City!"

Lu Meng suddenly raised his eyes and said, "Ah? Whose army? The army of Jiaozhou?"

"Yes... it's Lu Xun's army!"

Lu Mu's words made Lu Meng stand up suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew past at the right moment, and plum blossom petals fell in the garden... Immediately, the atmosphere here looked like fallen flowers and withered flowers.

"Lu Xun? Lu Family Army? How could it be them? Didn't they run out of food, didn't they burn to death?" Lu Meng was a little shocked...

But soon, he regained his composure. He is no longer the former Wuxia Amon. He has not only studied, but also experienced many storms and waves!
He realized.

Maybe... Maybe Lu Xun still found some clues!
Then he escaped silently from the sea of ​​flames, and then... began to take revenge?Start a counterattack?

——"He didn't get rid of this kid Lu Jiajun, but let this kid Lu Xun escape from death!" 』

Lu Meng's face suddenly became ugly.

However, after a short period of horror, Lu Meng quickly relaxed again, and said in a low voice as if comforting himself: "The Lu family army can escape from death, but the Lu family army's military strongholds have been burned, and the siege weapons have also been burned! No! Siege weapons? What do they use to attack the city?"

Suddenly... "Dong Dong" the sound of a car crashing into the door has already sounded.

The shouts of killing outside the city came one after another, forming one piece...

Almost at the same time, an official quickly came to report: "General Lu...it's not good. The Jiaozhou soldiers and the Lu family army are attacking the east and west gates separately. Our army...our army is short of horses and horses, and it's already a little bit overwhelmed!"

Jiaozhou soldiers?
dong dong——

As the sound of the car crashing into the door continued to resound, Lu Meng's expression suddenly changed.

Over there...

Sitting on the horse, Lu Xun watched with a sneer as the wooden rafters on the huge cart hit the city gate.

There were only scattered bows and arrows shot down from the city tower, which did not pose any threat to the attacking side at all.

Obviously, the defenders here are not prepared at all.

not to mention…

This Guangxin City, Lu Xun has already attacked once, the structure of the city, he is not clear, which city gate is easy to break through, and the city wall over there is easy to climb... It can be said that he is familiar with the road.

——The bloody setting sun fills the sky!

Lu Xun could tell that the city was already in chaos... There were chaotic soldiers running away everywhere!

Lu Meng put on his armor hastily, and shouted as he rushed up the tower.

"Line up, meet the enemy...line up, meet the enemy—"

When he ran to the top of the tower, the city gate had already been knocked loose by the wooden rafters, Lu Meng suddenly changed color, and ordered with some fear: "Hold the city gate, hold the city gate..."

Fortunately, the enemy army did not set up a ladder on the city wall, which made the pressure on the defenders a lot easier.

only…

"Why is there no ladder?"The Lu family army has a rush car?Why is there no ladder? 』

Lu Meng was also surprised...

at this time.

"Whoosh-"

"Whizzing--"

"Whoosh whoosh—"

The sound of several consecutive piercing sounds was like thunder on the ground, out of Lu Meng's field of vision... ten crossbows shot out in unison.

Just now, Lu Meng only heard voices.

But within a short while, ten heavy and huge crossbow bolts had already burst out, and in Lu Meng's almost dull eyes, each of them was deeply embedded in the city wall...

"This is? A crossbow? Such a heavy crossbow?"

Lu Meng exclaimed...

If one hadn't seen it with one's own eyes, who would believe that there is such a huge crossbow bolt in this world, so powerful that it cannot penetrate the city wall!

It was only at this moment that he realized that what Lu Xun mentioned was the so-called "God's Arrow" in Jiaozhou...

General Bu Zhi, general Lu Ji, the gods who can collapse the mountains...and cause the Lu family army to be defeated [-] steps away, these are not fabricated, nor are they performed by the Lu family army, they are all true!
really—

When Lu Meng was stunned, another round of "whoosh" piercing the air resounded...

This time, another ten heavy crossbow bolts were deeply embedded in the city wall.

"I get it, oops—"

Lu Meng suddenly understood, no wonder the enemy didn't go up the ladder, the thick arrows inserted deep into the city wall, they are natural ladders!

What kind of ladder does this need?
Just as Lu Meng thought, although the bolts of the eight-ox crossbow are made of wood, they can penetrate deep enough into the city wall due to their powerful impact. Only a few rounds of precise shooting are enough to make your own soldiers step on these large crossbows. Climb the walls... and fight your enemies on the towers.

In the Song Dynasty of later generations, a name was given to this method of "stepping on the prong and arrow" to attack the city-"Use this ant to attach to the tower!"

In other words, the Lu family army doesn't need ladders at all, and with a few rounds of salvos... the Lu family army can easily climb the tower.

"father…"

As if Lu Mu also realized the seriousness of the problem, "Father...the enemy army is powerful, and...with such siege equipment, our army is afraid...I'm afraid it won't be able to resist it!"

"I know!" Lu Meng murmured heavily, "It's my fault that I fell into Jiaozhou's estrangement scheme, missed Soochow, missed Lu Xun...in the end, I was thrown into the ground, and was... cheated by Lu Xun!"

"My son, let's flee, let's flee north...leave here first!"

While speaking, the father and son of the Lu family were about to flee north.

Down the tower...

Lu Meng and Lu Mu got on their horses.

At this moment, an arrow "whoosh" pierced Lu Meng's shoulder fiercely from behind, and Lu Meng screamed in pain...and fell off the horse.

Lu Mu also hurriedly dismounted to help his father...

He had just helped his father up, but he heard the sound of "tapping" footsteps.

He raised his head, and what he saw in front of him... was those lieutenant generals and staff who were chatting and laughing with his father in the garden just now...

He looked at these people in horror.

"You... what are you doing?"

These people got off their horses, drew their swords and walked to the Lu family father and son, saying coldly, "Sorry, General Lu, we have no choice at this time!"

Lu Meng stepped back on the ground with a blank expression.

"I treat you... treat you well!"

Ha ha…

These staff and lieutenants laughed, and one of them said loudly.

"Choose to backstab at the right time, General Lu, this is what you taught us—"

...

...

Jiangxia, Cao Jun Hengshan camp.

All the captives Guan Lin released were demoted to the logistics department of Hengshan Camp.

At this moment, the night was getting darker, and these prisoners and a group of logistics soldiers were chatting around the campfire.

"Guess why those Jiang Xia soldiers are so good at fighting? It turned out that it was because of our prime minister's "widowed order". Captured in Anlu City, I am afraid that I will never see such a high-spirited army in this life, so compared to...our fighting spirit...morale, it is more than a star and a half..."

This was said by a prisoner.

A Nanyang soldier answered and said:
"I don't blame those Jiangxia soldiers. The prime minister has recruited a large number of Nanyang soldiers because of the competition for Jingzhou these years. The corvee is several times heavier than that of Emperor Huanling. Hehe...Speaking of it, our Nanyang was once the southern capital. It’s still the place where Guangwu is rejuvenated, there are 28 generals in Yuntai, and we Nanyang alone have eleven, but...who would have thought that by the time of Cao Wei, Nanyang people would not be as good as pigs and dogs!"

As the Nanyang soldier said, ever since Cao Cao conquered Zhang Xiu, he kicked the widow's door in the middle of the night and killed three sages. Nanyang... the former southern capital, the economic center of the Han Dynasty, is known as "Zhongzhou" The granary" place is like being completely blacklisted by Cao Cao.

All corvee is the heaviest here;
All punishments are the most severe here;

All food and taxes are levied here the most, which also caused the extreme anger of Cao Cao in the Nanyang area...

Of course, this anger was not manifested in the open, it was mostly the people and farmers in Nanyang who dared not speak out.

Those who are capable have already migrated out.

Those who are incapable... trapped here, either join the army... or be slaughtered.

It can be said that behind the superficial prosperity of Nanyang and the granary of Zhongzhou lies the most extreme and silent pain of countless oppressed people.

When talking about Jiang Xia soldiers, these Nanyang soldiers inevitably feel the same way.

"Alas...compared to Prime Minister Cao, Jiangxia's Fourth Prince Guan is really benevolent..." Another prisoner said with emotion: "Just imagine, as long as he takes us captive in Anlu City, he only needs to drag us for a few months, because "Order of Requisitioning Widows", our wives and daughters will be conscripted by magistrates to remarry. At that time...how can we not surrender? But...however, he didn't do this. He was afraid that it would lead to such a tragic situation, so he...made us It's back! In the past, I just heard that Liu Xuande is a benevolent and righteous leader. Now that I look at his subordinate Guan Sigong, I can feel a bit of Uncle Liu's character. Sometimes I really don't understand. In this troubled world How will it end up in the hands of someone?"

It seems that when it comes to the emotional part...

Another prisoner said: "When I talk about this... I can't help it..."

Before I finished speaking, the tears flowed down like "ba da", "ba da".

In fact, among the captives released by Guan Lin, only a very small number returned to their hometowns, and most of them returned to the army again.

At the end of the day...it's okay to go back to my hometown.

But...heavy corvee, taxation, one more person in the family, one more bowl of rice, and the small rations, can they still support the family to survive?
This is extremely realistic, and he has to consider it.

"Father..." At this moment, not far from the bonfire, Zhu Shu behind the tent reminded his father in a low voice, "Father, what they said..."

It turned out that when Zhu Ling and Zhu Shu passed by here early in the morning, they heard the soldiers in the logistics army talking, they stopped in tacit understanding, and hid behind the tent to listen secretly...

It doesn't matter if you don't listen to it... After hearing it, I just feel... The morale of the army is floating!

This is a bad thing, a bad omen.

"Go back and talk."

Zhu Ling groaned softly, then hurried back to his military tent.

As soon as he entered the account, Zhu Shu couldn't help but said: "General Yu Jin suffered heavy losses in this battle... Not to mention nearly ten thousand people were killed, even General Dong Heng was killed by the enemy general Liao Hua's formation, and the morale of the entire Cao army was low... In addition, now that Guan Lin has released the captives, the situation has fallen into an extremely unfavorable situation."

"Don't worry about these." Zhu Ran calmly analyzed: "General Yu Jin is the head of the five good generals. The reason why his soldiers are so powerful is his strict military discipline, not his personal bravery. One defeat can't affect the overall situation. What's more, Today's Nanyang soldiers haven't moved yet...General Le Jin's [-] soldiers haven't arrived yet! But..."

"What is it?"

"Now is an excellent opportunity for us father and son to commit crimes!"

"what…"

Zhu Ling's words surprised Zhu Shu.

Zhu Ling's eyes narrowed suddenly, and he carefully explained to his son: "You think? Three thousand captives, Guan Lin let him go as soon as he said? Why?"

"Rende?"

"Benevolence!" Zhu Ling shook his head, showing a little disappointment with his son, "There has never been any kindness on the battlefield. It was compiled by the victors. The reason why Guan Lin kept three thousand prisoners is because Because what he wants is not the victory of this battle, but the overall victory of Jiangxia."

"At times like this, although it's not as good as his determination to come back against the wind when he lost, but...for us father and son, it is still an opportunity to make great achievements!"

This…

Zhu Shu seemed to understand, "What does father mean? Let's rush to Anlu City in the near future? Present the defense map of the granary? Start our plan?"

"Not recently..." Zhu Ling's eyes narrowed, "It's today, it's now, it's not too late!"

...

...

In Jiaozhou, Guangxin City, the seat of Cangwu County, has been destroyed.

Lu Xun led his army into the city proudly. He came to Lu Meng's official office and looked at the withered plum blossoms in the garden. For some reason, he felt that these plum blossoms appeared in his pupils, and they were all black. It is black that is in sharp contrast to white.

He even noticed the elegant layout of the official office and the piles of books on the table.

As if, even in Jiaozhou, Lu Meng still maintained a good habit of reading.

Lu Xun strolled in, and gently mentioned a book, "Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan" in "Chun Qiu Zuo Zhuan". A fight to the death.

Ha ha…

Lu Xun smiled slightly, and with a contemptuous look in his eyes, he threw "Chunqiu Zuozhuan" aside, and whispered softly, "Also 'Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan', hehe, such a idiot is not worthy of reading "Chunqiu"!"

After a while, Lu Meng and his son Lu Mu were escorted up by a group of lieutenants and staff.

Lu Meng was hit by an arrow in his shoulder, but after simple treatment, the arrow wound made him tremble in pain...

The deputy generals on the side knelt down and said: "The last general pays his respects to General Lu!"

Lu Xun smiled lightly and said, "I, Lu Xun, am very grateful to all generals and military advisers who killed relatives righteously..."

"Don't dare!"

Everyone clapped their hands together and lowered their heads.

"Take them all—"

But when Lu Xun yelled, suddenly, one by one Lu family army broke in, and captured these lieutenants and staff one after another.

"General Lu, I... have I done something good?"

"Contributors?" Lu Xun smiled, "Lu Meng framed me, causing me and thirty thousand brothers to be buried in Yulin and the fire. If you have merit, you should persuade your generals to stop at that time. What's the point of surrendering the city-punchers now? First they aided the tyrant, and then they betrayed their master. The crime is aggravated, and they are directly dragged out and beheaded!"

what…

The crowd was shocked.

But there was no trace of pity in Lu Xun's eyes.

His eyes are especially dark, which is the "black" which is in stark contrast to "white"!
——Dark Lu Xun!
Or—Mo Luxun!
Not long after, I heard the wailing sound of "ah... ah..." outside the government office...

After getting rid of these miscellaneous things, Lu Xun just walked up to Lu Meng and Lu Mu. He squatted down slightly, "Next, it's your turn!"

Lu Meng stared angrily, "Lu Boyan, you are a general of the Marquis of Wu, but you don't think loyal to the emperor, so you voted for that Jiaozhou? You have shamed the Lu family of Wu County, so disloyal...I...I..."

"Hahahaha..." Before Lu Meng finished speaking, Lu Xun laughed loudly, "General Lu, are you telling me that you are unfaithful?"

"Haha..." Lu Xun was still laughing, "In the past when Sun Bofu attacked Luzhou and the city was destroyed, more than half of my Lu family was killed by their Sun family. How difficult is it for me, Lu Xun, to live on with the rest of my family? To revitalize the Lu family, I did not hesitate to change my name. I let the word 'Sun' be on top of my name, and I, Lu Xun, carried him away... I married the daughter of my enemy, and I reconciled with the Sun family despite the anger of the people. I have recognized a thief as my father... I, Lu Xun, have made great contributions to their Sun family over the years, how many times have I fought with my life? You say I am unfaithful?"

Lu Xun stood up, and he turned around quite gracefully. The blood-stained cloak, which was even redder, exuded a deep chill.

This chill is piercing, it must have encountered great sorrow to make a person so disheartened.

"Yes, am I disloyal?" Lu Xun continued, "Because I just realized it now. Loyalty can only make me like General Xu Kun, General Tai Shici, and Governor Zhou. I was killed in Huangquan, let me die of hatred! Let me pay by mistake!"

"Wu Hou's instruction, and your Lu Ziming's backstab, don't you just explain this point? Hehe, the former Lu Xun could swallow his anger, live humblely and obediently for his own future, for the prosperity of the family, and supported the Sun family to suffer. Live in humiliation!"

"But if you regard me as an ant, and then trample on the soles of your feet... discard it like dross, kill it quickly, and don't even blink, why should I be loyal to you? My Lu Xun's loyalty is matched by his grandson Zhongmou Humph... even if my "loyalty" of Lu Xun is fed to the dog, it will never belong to Soochow, but to that Sun Zhongmou!"

"You—" before Lu Meng opened his mouth.

Lu Xun directly ordered, "Put Lu Meng in prison, and this general will personally greet me tonight! As for this son, let him go back to Soochow..."

Lu Xun's eyes turned to Lu Mu: "You tell that Sun Zhongmou, if he dares to touch a member of the Lu family in Wu County, I will stab Lu Meng in the body, and then go north and slaughter 100 people from Dongwu! If he dares to touch 100 people from my Lu family !Then wait for the heads of Lu Meng and his 1 Soochow subjects—"

"I, Lu Xun, don't mind at all going north to Wu County, let him, Sun Quan, also taste the feeling of being stabbed in the back by his generals!"

call--

Some heavy words finally blurted out.

Lu Xun's words made Lu Meng unfamiliar.

This…

Is this still the gentle, humble and polite Lu Xun he knew?

"Lu Boyan? You...you have changed!"

Lu Meng said puzzled.

Lu Xun glared at Lu Meng, revealing the sharpness in his pocket...

It is a murderous aura overflowing with cold air;
It was only after experiencing despair that he realized, "I have changed. I am so glad that I have changed now. The previous 'humble' Lu Xun is dead. Now Lu Xun only knows eight words in his heart - with blood. Blood for blood, tooth for tooth!"

Lu Xun's posture was straight...

His eyes are round and wide...

Those words that rose leisurely from his heart, like a string of cannonballs, made him feel like he was completely released!
"Hehe... Speaking of which, I also want to thank that person for teaching me!"

"Let me understand...a man was born in the world, and if he is not cruel, he will not be able to stand firm. Let me understand the pain of being stabbed in the back, and also let me understand the joy of backstabbing the enemy!"

At this moment, Lu Xun... seemed to be possessed overnight.

--Not crazy, not live!
