Uncle Emperor, I am really not Wolong Zhuge!

Chapter 188 Pang Tong’s conspiracy

Taishi Ci shouted angrily and put more force on his feet. Almost his entire body weight was on the foot that was trampling on Xiahou Mao's heart. Xiahou Mao rolled his eyes and couldn't breathe.

"Wait a minute, no!"

Lu Su hurriedly stepped forward and took Tai Shici's arm.

Sun Quan lowered his head and pondered, wondering whether he should be killed.

"Commander, this man is extremely brave. If he escapes, Jiangdong will be in serious trouble, and the lives of Jingzhou's 50,000 soldiers and horses will be under his control!"

"If he returns to Hefei and leads his troops to strangle the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou, how can you and I stand up to Zhuge Wende and explain to Liu Bei? Even if we don't care about this, at least if the 300,000 stones of grain and grass fall into the hands of the soldiers and horses of the Cao thieves in Hefei, It’s extremely detrimental to me!”

The veins on Taishi Ci's forehead popped out. The long sword hanging on Xiahou Mao's neck trembled because of his overly excited emotions. The sharp sword tip had pierced the skin of his neck, and strands of blood dripped down his neck and fell to the ground. superior.

"Lord...uncle...brother..."

Xiahou Mao, who was extremely frightened, suddenly called him three different names. In order to survive, he thought about surrendering, worshiping Sun Quan as his lord, and thinking about getting closer to each other. Since Sun Quan's father Sun Jian had met his father Xiahou Dun once when he was attacking Dong Zhuo, it can also be said that It's just that he was so frightened by Taishi Ci at the moment that his thoughts were confused and he didn't even know how to address Sun Quan.

Lu Su let go of Tai Shici, hurriedly came to Sun Quan, paused and said, "My lord, think twice, I can't kill this person!"

Sun Quan and Tai Shici asked in unison: "Why?"

Lu Su paid his respects again and said: "General Taishi Ci has just said that although Zhuge Wende's plan is exquisite, the troops are moving dangerously and the outcome is unpredictable. More importantly, the Jingzhou soldiers came to Hefei in the name of Xiahou Yuan to transport grain, and Xiahou Mao was captured here by us by mistake, which further increased the possibility of Jingzhou's army being defeated."

Sun Quan listened attentively and signaled Lu Su to stand down. Lu Su thanked him, stood up, straightened his clothes, and continued: "If Jingzhou wins, everything will go smoothly. Our Sun and Liu families will work together to pacify Hefei, which will wipe out Cao Cao's majesty. But if Jingzhou's army is defeated and retreats, our Jiangdong extreme There is a risk of being left alone.”

"Not only that, Cao Jun, who I rely on, is short of food and has low morale. Our army's morale is at its peak, waiting for work. If Cao Jun wins, not only will they get food and grass, but the lack of food will no longer exist, and with victory, the morale of our army will double. It's just the opposite. Good or bad, good or bad, it's hard to predict."

"Therefore, Xiahou Mao can't be killed. At the critical moment, we can use him as a condition to negotiate peace with Cao Cao to ensure that I can retreat safely to Jiangdong."

Lu Su spoke slowly, his thoughts were clear, his analysis was extremely thorough, and he anticipated all the ways to win or lose.

Sun Quan also had a confused look on his face at first. He listened and kept nodding. Only then did he agree with Lu Su's careful consideration. Tai Shici's long sword across Xia Houmao's neck gradually lost its luster and finally returned the sword. Sheathed.

Taishi Ci gently removed the foot that was on Xiahou Mao's back, looked down at him and said, "Even so, this man has a lot of connections and needs to be strictly guarded. If he gets away, I'm afraid the lives of the entire army will be at risk! "

Lu Su showed his face and said: "What the general said is true. I immediately ordered people to go to the camp to tell Generals Gan Ning and Cheng Pu to come and personally imprison him in the camp. Even if he has wings on his side, I'm afraid he won't be able to escape. The palms of two generals!"

Sun Quan nodded: "If the two generals personally take care of it, I will feel a little more at ease. As long as we survive three days, Zhuge Wende's troops and horses will be successful, and the situation in Hefei will be determined. There will be nothing to fear!"

Lu Su turned around and left the tent. After a while, he saw two generals, Gan Ning and Cheng Pu, each leading three personal guards, coming to the Chinese army's tent to pay homage to Sun Quan.

Lu Su jumped out of the crowd, came to the two generals, pointed to Xiahou Mao on the ground, and said seriously: "This man will be detained in your camp for the time being, and no mistakes will be made. If he escapes within three days, he will be killed." Both of you deserve to be beheaded!" Gan Ning and Cheng Pu bowed and said, "Please, my lord, military advisor, don't worry, there will be no mistakes in this child. If there are any mistakes, we are the only ones to blame. !”

Xiahou Mao originally thought he would die, but he did not expect Lu Su to plead for mercy and escape from death. At this moment, he was confused and did not dare to talk nonsense, so he allowed Gan Ning and Cheng Pu to escort him out of the tent.

……

Wu camp.

Only two hundred meters east of the Chinese army's main tent is the camp of military advisor Lu Su.

As a civil servant, Lu Su was worshiped by Sun Quan as the chief military advisor of the East Route Army, and he also served as the deputy governor of Jiangdong troops. His status in the army was second only to that of the commander-in-chief Zhou Yu, who was stationed at Poyang Lake and stationed hundreds of thousands of troops.

But his camp was not only extremely simple, but there were no soldiers standing guard around the tent. Everything was not much different from the camps of ordinary third-rate generals.

However, even though there is no one to guard the important private areas of military and military affairs, it is also regarded as a three-foot forbidden area, and no one dares to enter or exit at will.

The layout in the tent is extremely simple, with only two couches, an Eight Immortals table, and four chairs arranged around the table.

"Everything is done according to Mr. Fengchu's instructions. I don't know what the next step should be."

In the evening, Lu Su bid farewell to Sun Quan and returned to his tent. Facing the black figure sitting quietly under the solitary lamp, he bowed and asked with a very respectful expression.

"Have your orders to generals Gan Ning and Cheng Pu been completed?"

Mr. Feng Chu, Pang Tong, slowly turned around. Although he was in the big tent, he was still wearing a black hat and black coarse clothes. He looked rustic and solemn, with a sense of mystery. People are unpredictable.

"Everything has been carried out according to Mr. Fengchu's plan. Xiahou Mao is already in the military camp of Gan, Ning and Cheng Pu. I just don't know when to implement Mr. Fengchu's plan?"

While Lu Su was talking, he walked to the table, picked up the teapot, opened the teacup, poured a bowl of fragrant tea and handed it over.

Pang Tong smiled faintly, revealing two rows of rough and ugly teeth between his small black beard: "The soldiers and horses from the west will arrive in Hefei in three days. If we let him go back now, Xu Huang and Jiang Ji will definitely think about this matter. I'm afraid There was an oversight. But if it’s too late, it might be too late.”

He slowly stood up and walked back and forth in the tent, lowering his head and stroking his short beard from time to time. He seemed quite satisfied with it. After a long time, he stopped, turned around, took the tea bowl handed over by Lu Su, and gently He took a sip and said: "You can start things after dusk tomorrow. If there is a slight delay, I'm afraid it will be the early morning of the third day when he returns to Hefei."

His eyes looked firm and decisive under the dim light: "Only in this way will Xia Houmao be more motivated to make meritorious deeds in his heart, and he will have no time to communicate and discuss with Xu Huang!"
