Three Kingdoms: Heir of Wolong, my father-in-law is Guan Gong

Chapter 59 Lu Meng’s insidiousness and ruthlessness
  Lukou.

There are many warships and flags flying.

In the big ship docking, a pungent smell of medicine hit my face.

Lu Meng, who was supposed to be in his prime, looked haggard and obviously very ill.

Looking at Lu Meng's physical condition, he probably wouldn't live long.

"Captain, it's time to take medicine."

General Li Yi warned carefully, fearing to frighten Lu Meng who closed his eyes to rest.

Lu Meng, who smelled the medicine, couldn't help but frown.

Lu Meng has been drinking this medicine for several months, and now he feels like vomiting when he smells the medicine.

Thinking of his plan to seize the crown, Lu Meng endured the discomfort in his stomach and drank all the medicine in the bowl while holding his breath.

When Lu Su was here, Lü Meng proposed to Sun Quan many times to seize Jingzhou, and even proposed the strategy of "after seizing Jingzhou, Sun Jiao will guard Nanjun, Pan Zhang will guard Baidi City, Jiang Qin will patrol up and down the Yangtze River, and Lü Meng will go to Xiangfan himself."

Although Sun Quan thought Lu Meng was right, he had a soft spot for Xuzhou.

If you occupy Jianghuai, you will be like the overlord of Chu in the past.

Sun Jian is known as the Tiger of Jiangdong, Sun Ce is known as the Little Overlord, and Sun Quan. If Sun Quan conquers Huainan and Xuzhou, he will be known as the Overlord again.

Who dares to say that Sun Quan is not as good as Sun Ce in the future?
  Who dares to say that Sun Quan is the stepfather and brother?

When he was young, he had ten thousand pockets of horses, and the war in the southeast has not ended. Who is the rival of the heroes in the world? Cao Liu!

Only such high spirits can be called the joy of life.

In order to be named after his father and brother, instead of inheriting the title of Sun Zhongmou, Sun Quan was ambitious and wanted to capture Huainan and Xuzhou.

Especially after Zhang Liao broke through 800,000, Sun Quan became angry and continued to fight against Hefei.

Obviously.

Sun Quan thought a little too much.

Even if you fight against Hefei, you can't win Hefei, let alone seize Xuzhou and achieve the great cause of overlord of Chu.

Not only that, Sun Quan asked Cao Cao to surrender two years ago, so that Cao Cao could withdraw his troops from Ruxukou.

Although Sun Quan refused to acknowledge his surrender after Cao Cao withdrew, Sun Quan's idea of ​​attacking Hefei also faded a lot.

Lu Meng repeatedly advised Sun Quan on the grounds that "it is easy to attack Xuzhou but difficult to defend Xuzhou. While those of us who can fight are still alive, we can capture Jingzhou and protect Jiangnan."

finally.

Sun Quan recognized the reality: if he was not the material of King Chu, he would have no choice but to withdraw from the Yangtze River.

So after Lu Su's death, Sun Quan appointed Lü Meng as the commander-in-chief and asked Lü Meng to deploy at Lukou.

Lu Meng also actively extended his kindness to Lukou and made good friends with Guan Yu.

Not only that, when Cao Ren went to attack Guan Yu last year, Lu Meng deliberately slipped and fell into the water during the autumn and winter seasons and contracted the wind and cold.

This disease has persisted until now!

I have to say that Lu Meng’s move is really cruel!
  Others are pretending to be sick, but Lu Meng is really sick!

I don’t know which quack doctor prescribed the medicine, but Lu Meng was forced to drink the medicine for half a year and he still didn’t die.

"Where is Guan Yu now?" Lu Meng asked with his eyes closed.

As Zhuge Qiao had judged, this was an opportunity for Guan Yu and Lu Meng to test each other, and Lu Meng would not sit idly by.

Therefore, when Guan Yu's envoy conveyed Guan Yu's intention to invite him to meet him, Lu Meng agreed without saying a word.

Li Yi replied in a low voice: "We expect to arrive at Honghukou in the afternoon."

Lu Meng stood up: "It came faster than expected. Guan Yu didn't dare to delay for a moment. To prepare the ship, I have to go to Honghukou to meet Guan Yu." Li Yi endured for a moment and said: "Captain, the wind is strong on the river. The general thought that , it’s okay if Guan Yu is missing.”

Lu Meng sneered: "Guan Yu could have taken the Yunmeng Tongqu to reach Jingling, but now he has to go around the Xia River to Mianyang, and even invites me to meet him."

"You don't trust me! If I don't go to see Guan Yu, Guan Yu will have doubts."

Li Yi said worriedly: "But is your body general?"

There was a hint of cruelty in Lu Meng's eyes: "It is only because Guan Yu can see my dying appearance with his own eyes that Guan Yu dares to attack Xiangfan with peace of mind."

Ignoring Li Yi's dissuasion, Lu Meng immediately put on his plain clothes and took a boat to Honghukou to wait for Guan Yu.

Seeing Guan Yu's large ship arriving from a distance, Lu Meng's pupils instantly tightened.

"Not only are you worried about me, but you are here to demonstrate!" Lu Meng's expression became extremely solemn.

Guan Yu has been operating in Jingzhou for many years. The size of this large ship is no different from that of the Jiangdong Navy, and its number is smaller than that of the Jiangdong Navy.

"It can't be delayed any longer."

"While Guan Yu is going to attack Xiangyang, we must capture Jingzhou this time."

"Otherwise, if Guan Yu continues to build large ships and sail down the river, Jiangdong will be unable to resist!"

Lu Meng, who had experienced many battles, was keenly aware of the power of Guan Yu's navy.

The most important thing about a navy is not how many small ships there are, but how many big ships there are.

The more large ships there are, the greater the navy's endurance and the larger the scale of wars it can fight.

Lu Meng felt even heavier when he thought that Guan Yu, a northern military commander, could play such a trick with the navy.

In the past, Cao Cao was defeated in Chibi because the northern military commanders did not understand navy and Jiangdong took advantage of the geographical advantage.

But now, facing Jingzhou, Jiangdong does not have the advantage of a favorable location.

"Captain, Guan Yu's ship is approaching." Li Yi subconsciously clenched the wooden shield in his hand, ready to deal with unexpected emergencies at any time.

Lu Meng waved his hand and signaled Li Yi to step back: "How can Guan Yu be a rat that hurts people with hidden arrows? Please step back."

When the two ships approached, Lu Meng boarded the bow and bowed his hands to Guan Yu in greeting: "Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for many days. You have become more and more heroic."

When Guan Yu saw that Lu Meng was wearing plain clothes and looking haggard, he couldn't help but frown: "Has the illness of Governor Lu not been cured yet?"

Lu Meng sighed softly: "Thank you for your concern. This man who fights on the battlefield will inevitably have old wounds on his body. He fell into the water and caught the cold last time, which caused old wounds."

"In the past six months, thanks to the good doctors in the army, I have been able to survive for a few months. In the past, I lamented that Governor Zhou and Governor Lu died young and their ambitions were not fulfilled."

"In a few months, I'm afraid I will have to follow the two governors."

Lu Meng's tone was slightly slow, and after finishing the call, there was a hint of blush on his face.

"Is Lu Meng really sick?" Guan Yu was doubtful.

Although there had always been intelligence that Lu Meng was ill, Guan Yu did not believe it.

Lu Meng is only in his early forties now. How can it be possible that the ordinary wind chill caused by falling into the water cannot be cured in half a year?
  Guan Yu only thought that Lu Meng did it on purpose, but unexpectedly, the Lu Meng he saw today looked haggard and no longer as majestic as before.

"Is there no one available in Jiangdong? Governor Lu is so seriously ill, and the Marquis of Wu refuses to allow Governor Lu to return to Jianye to recuperate?" Guan Yu narrowed his eyes and tried to test his words.

Lu Meng pretended to be helpless: "The Lord has misunderstood. The Lord Wu has advised me a long time ago, but I thought my illness could be cured, but I never thought it would get worse."

"Maybe after some time, Junhou will hear the news that I have returned to Jianye to recuperate."

"If I have spare strength, I would also like to send troops to Jiangxia to contain Wenpin for the prince, so that the prince can go and attack Cao Ren with peace of mind."

"It's a pity that God doesn't fulfill one's wishes!"
