Chapter 81

With Fu Shiren's kaicheng surrender without letting go, half of Lu Meng's goal has been completed.

He is full of confidence in this operation. Mi Fang and Fu Shiren have so many things in their hands, and they can't help but surrender.

And even if they retreat ten thousand steps, even if they really repent and refuse to surrender.

Lu Meng secretly sneered, thinking: "This time my lord is pouring all his strength east of the river to take Jingzhou, and we have Cao Wei's cooperation, how can you keep two cities by the two of you?"

But when he faced Fu Shiren, his smile became very sincere and amiable: "The general's move to prevent the public security and the people from being attacked by war is really an act of great wisdom and kindness. Meng, I thank the general here."

After finishing speaking, he bowed to Fu Shiren in a big salute, got up and said with a smile again: "I will go to Jiangling in a while, and I hope the general can persuade Yu Na Mifang. You must think of the people and don't use weapons rashly."

"You lied...!" Fu Shiren was surprised and angry when he found out that he had been cheated, but he only spoke halfway, and he couldn't continue like a deflated ball.

What else can we say now?Even if he didn't lie to himself, is there any other choice?
But sooner or later.

Lu Meng left 3000 people to garrison the police, took his general Fu Shiren with him, and the fleet hurried to Jiangling...

Gangneung City.

"Hurry up, hurry up, Dongwu Lu Meng is calling!"

"Go this way quickly and take refuge in Beicheng."

"Don't squeeze, everyone can get in, don't squeeze."

The effective early warning radius of Fenghou is about 10 miles, and the beacon smoke alarm along the river is not for Guan Yu's army who is still 500 miles away.

It was for the defenders of Jiangling and Public Security.

But if the guards in the city know that there is an enemy coming, but still have no intention of standing firm, it will lose its meaning...is it?

Perhaps this is true for the police, but it is different for Jiangling.

After receiving the beacon warning at this time, officials at all levels in Jiangling, who had been prepared for a long time, took action.

Their most critical task is to evacuate the gentry and common people from the south city to the north city.

This is not a difficult task. The market in the new city in the south accounts for a large proportion of it, and the residences of a large number of officials, gentry and common people are mainly in the north city.

Moreover, due to the rumors that were prevalent in Jiangling City, when the people heard that Lu Meng from the Eastern Wu Dynasty was calling, they followed orders and began to move without hesitation.

Bring your family and mouth, only take valuables and rations, and go to Beicheng for resettlement.

Mi Fang did not interfere with this, the arsenal, the granary and other important places are all in the North City, and the defenders of these important places and various city gates are also his trusted people arranged by him.

They all benefited from his corruption, so it can be said that they are grasshoppers on a rope.

Whether the city gate can be opened or not, whether to defend it or not, is up to him at that time.

Therefore, Mi Fang did not interfere with the actions of the officials in front of her, because it was unnecessary.

Moreover, the people were raging at this time, if he interfered rashly, it would easily cause chaos.

He just wanted to save his life, and he didn't want the people to die, so he just fled to Beicheng... Anyway, the end result is the same.

However, where he didn't notice, Zhao's firm in Nancheng has already taken covert and efficient actions...

Liu Chan stayed behind in Jiangling's manpower, and at this time he was instructing the people in the company to prepare a big gift for the upcoming Lu Meng.

Not long after, the guards of the South Tower came to report.

"Report--! Messenger, there are a large number of Wu troops coming to Jiangling outside the city! There are so many troops coming in a row, at least there should be more than [-] people!"

Everyone gasped, the army of more than [-] people... was more than ten times that of Jiangling City, which had mobilized its defenders at this time.

It's just that a group of officials have received Liu Chan's entrustment, and they seem to be quite calm about this, and even have some expectations, just waiting to follow their plans.

"Follow me up to the tower for a look." Mi Fang led the team up to the tower first.

Sure enough, Wu Jun was crowded outside the city, and they were rapidly encircling Jiangling City.

It is said to be encircled, but there is no need to encircle the city on all sides. The east and north sides of Jiangling are surrounded by Yangshui.

But this also reduces the difficulty of defending the city.

In Wu Junzhong, a group of soldiers escorted a man forward. This man was Fu Shiren. At this time, he was not tied up, and no soldiers pushed and shoved him. It seemed that he was treated well.

Seeing a few people gradually approaching, the defenders on the tower had already begun to draw their bows and arrows.

"Don't shoot the arrows! Don't shoot the arrows! Mi Shijun, it's me—! Public Security Fu Shiren!" Fu Shiren shouted loudly.

"Don't release the arrows yet." Mi Fang waved her hand, and the city defense officer ordered the soldiers to put down the bows and arrows.

Seeing the bows and arrows put away, several people walked forward for a certain distance, and when they reached the moat, Fu Shiren shouted again: "Mi Shijun! Now that Guan Yu is defeated, the Northern Wei Dynasty is watching.

"Fortunately, the Soochow Allied Forces have taken over the defense here to protect the environment and the people! Our public security is now safe for the people to live in. The Wu army has not touched any property in the city, and has not committed any crime to the people. Please open the gate of the city quickly!"

Mi Fang's hands tightened and then loosened, loosened and tightened, and the weather had turned cold, beads of sweat rolled down her forehead.

Since Xuzhou followed Liu Bei with his elder brother and his family, he fought east and west and wandered for 25 years.

After suffering for so many years, the investment finally paid off, and Liu Bei became the hero of the party.

After fighting for so many years, can't I enjoy it?
Why on earth... have you come to this point?

Mi Fang suddenly closed her eyes, fiercely covered her brother's figure, and let out a breath of foul air.

Guan Yu, it was you who treated me unkindly first, don't blame me.

Mi Fang opened her eyes again, no longer confused: "If I open the city, can you really protect the people and gentry in the city from being abused?"

At this time, one person came out out of the crowd and said loudly: "Mr. Mi! I am General Lu Meng of Jiangdong Huwei. I am here from Dongwu to help the general defend the city and prevent the Wei army from going south. Naturally, I will not harm the people in the city!"

After finishing speaking, Lu Meng pointed to the sky with one hand: "I, Lu Meng, swear an oath here as a witness. If the army enters the city, if there is any act of bullying or harming the people, it will definitely be executed! If you violate this oath, I, Lu Meng, will have a terrible death!"

Mi Fang was silent.

"My lord, open the city gate!"

"Kaicheng!" Mi Fang finally spoke.

Neither the city defense officer nor the surrounding officials spoke out to dissuade them. After the soldiers got the order, they put down the suspension bridge over the moat and obediently opened the city gate.

Mi Fang didn't expect that when she was about to open the city and surrender, no one would persuade her.

On weekdays, Guan Yu seems to be very kind and trustworthy, and his popularity is very high. It seems that they are probably the same as him, just pretending to agree.

The gate of the city was wide open, Mi Fang led Wang Juncheng and other close relatives and officials out of the city, Lu Meng led the crowd quickly stepped forward, and grabbed Mi Fang's hands.

"Your envoy, haha, what you have done to protect countless civilians and soldiers is really a great achievement! I will be my cousin, general, and I will ask for credit for your envoy."

Lu Meng is really happy from the bottom of his heart. Both Jiangling and Gongan have fallen, and Nanjun has been captured. With the arrival of the follow-up army, Jingzhou is just around the corner!

The elated Lu Meng was about to hold a celebration party in the sand dunes outside the city.

Yu Fan, who was with the army, felt uneasy ever since he arrived. It went so smoothly, everything went so smoothly that he always felt that something was wrong.

At this time, seeing that Lu Meng was actually planning to hold a celebration banquet outside the city, he immediately stepped forward and said in a low voice: "General, you can be sure that the only person who agrees with me is Mi Fang. Now that the city has opened, we should send a large army into the city immediately." It is better to quickly occupy the various city gates, arsenals and other confidential places, so as not to have long nights and dreams!"

Hearing this, Lu Meng's mind, dazed by the victory, immediately regained his clarity: "Zhong Xiang's words are reasonable, and he almost missed a major event! The army will enter the city immediately, and the celebration will not be too late after entering the city!"

The vanguard immediately entered the city, and Lu Meng raised his vigilance, guarding against ambushes that might come out from any corner at any time.

But until this time, the progress was still smooth, and there was no ambush in the city.

Not even a dog on the street.

The soldiers under Lu Meng controlled the gate of the new city without any hindrance, and the original defenders of the south gate were under control.

This is also normal. Whenever a large army enters the city, the terrified people often hide in their homes tremblingly, praying not to be robbed and killed. No one dares to stand on the street.

"Fathers and elders! I am General Huwei Lu Meng, and I am here to help you defend the city and guard against the Cao army in the north! I have made an appointment with Mi Shijun, and I will never plunder the money, food and items of your fellow villagers, let alone hurt you. Please rest assured. !"

Lu Meng himself, as well as the propaganda team he arranged in advance, began to shout loudly and started the resettlement work of the common people.

Just... still no response.

"General! The city gates between the north and south cities are closed, and the guards on the towers are waiting with bows, as if they want to stick to it!"

"What?" Lu Meng looked at Mi Fang suspiciously.

When Mi Shijun heard the news, his face was full of astonishment, what's going on?

Seeing that Mi Fang's expression did not seem to be fake, Lu Meng was relieved, it seemed that it was just some low-level officials in the city who were stubbornly resisting.

"Let's go, join me in persuading them to open the city and surrender." Lu Meng grabbed Mi Fang who was bewildered, and led the team towards the north city gate.
