Soldiers come to the world

Chapter 1029 Confrontation in the Lobby

A tired war horse carried veteran Huang Gai and finally returned to Jianye. After Huang Gai escaped from the post house, he went to Wucheng County. Cut by the knife, but helpless, he had nowhere to go, so he had to return to Jianye alone. |Among every two people who read romance, one has registered an account on °Xiao°Shuo°.

One mile away from Jianye City, opposite the official road, a dozen cavalrymen rushed towards Huang Gai in a short while. These cavalrymen with silver armor and helmets were obviously Sun Quan's bodyguards.

The head of the guards bowed their hands to Huang Gai and said, "We are here to welcome the old general under the order of the Marquis of Wu!"

Huang Gai's nose was a little sore, and he asked quickly: "Thank you for coming to greet me, may I ask how Marquis Wu knew I was back?"

"There are already scouts who have rushed to report to Marquis Wu, so we know that the old general is back."

"So that's the case, then please lead me to see Marquis Wu."

Unexpectedly, the guards showed no sign of moving, instead they surrounded Huang Gai from all directions. Huang Gai couldn't help being stunned, "What are you guys doing?"

The head guard laughed dryly and said, "To prevent accidents, please hand over the weapons to us, the old general."

Huang Gai flew into a rage, "How dare you be so rude!"

"Old General, please calm down, we are only following orders."

Huang Gai let out a long sigh, this should be Sun Quan's intention, it seems that it is not a good thing for Sun Quan to see him, but at this point, he could not turn his horse and leave, so he had to hand over his spear and sword to the guards.

"And a dagger!"

The leading guard pointed to the dagger in his leather boots and said, "Marquis Wu has an order that all weapons must be handed over, including the dagger."

Huang Gai felt sad, Liu Jing didn't take away a single weapon from him, yet Sun Quan didn't trust him so much, it was really chilling, just now Huang Gai was moved by Sun Quan's sending someone to greet him, but at this moment he only felt chills.

He handed the dagger to the guards, and there was no other weapon on his body. The guards searched him and the horse bag again, and then escorted him to Jianye City. At this time, Huang Gai's heart was cold, and he let the guards Be rude to him.

After a while, a group of people entered Jianye City and came directly to the steps of Jianye Palace Square, "Please, general! Marquis Wu is waiting in the main hall." The guards got off their horses and said coldly to Huang Gai.

At this time Huang Gai suddenly saw Zhang Zhao coming from the side, he hurried up to meet him and said, "Military Master, what happened?"

Zhang Zhao sighed, shook his head and left. At this moment, several guards stepped forward to support Huang Gai, and without explanation, forced him to walk up the steps quickly and walked into the main hall.

The main hall of Jianye Palace is actually the main hall, which is exactly the size of a large hall. It was named "Tang" only to avoid taboo, but in essence it is already arrogating. This is one of the reasons why Liu Jing accused Sun Quan of arrogating and treason.

In the spacious hall, Sun Quan was sitting on a high white jade throne, looking at Huang Gai coldly, and standing beside him were a dozen or so high-ranking military officials, including Lu Meng and Bu Zhi. He knelt down and saluted, "Huang Gai, who is humble, joins Marquis Wu!"

"Huang Gai, are you convicted?" Sun Quan scolded in a stern tone.

"The low-level command of the army is ineffective, eager to win the enemy, and the enemy's ambush, so that the entire army is wiped out, and the low-level guilty."

"Hmph? If that's the case, I won't hold you accountable. I'm talking about the crime of colluding with the enemy!"

In Huang Gai's head, 'hum! With a sound, his heart was in a mess. How could Marquis Wu say that he had colluded with the Han army? It was clearly Zhu Heng who colluded with the Han army and sacrificed Wu County. How could it have fallen on him.

"Reporting to Marquis Wu, Zhu Heng did not collude with the Han army. It was Zhu Heng who secretly collude with the Han army. In the end, he took advantage of me to lead the army out of the city and offered the city to surrender, which led to the final disastrous defeat. Please learn from Wu Hou!"

Sun Quan sneered and asked, "If that's the case, why are you the only one left? What about the other soldiers, are they all dead?"

"Reporting to Marquis Wu, Beizhi was surrounded by the Han army, only one of them was killed, and the rest of the soldiers were captured by the Han army."

Although the truth is slightly different, Huang Gai didn't want to say too much, as long as he had a clear conscience, Sun Quan sneered repeatedly, "It's a good one to break through the siege, you pretend I don't know anything, let you talk nonsense with red lips and white teeth Come up!"

Sun Quan waved his hand, and after a while, a man was brought up by the guards. Huang Gai recognized him at a glance as Chen Yan, his subordinate, and also broke up with him in the posthouse. Huang Gai was startled, "Why are you?"

"Old general, why isn't it me?"

Chen Yan sneered and bowed to Sun Quan, "See Marquis Wu!"

"General Chen, you confront him!"

Chen Yan turned around and said to Huang Zhong in a calm manner: "I believe the veteran has already talked about the failure of the attack on the Han army's barracks and Zhu Hengxian's city. What's the matter, General Huang, let me ask you, have you seen Liao Li?"

Huang Gai sighed in his heart. He couldn't tell if he really jumped into the Yellow River. He nodded, "Liu Jing sent Liao Li to persuade me to surrender. It is true."

"Liao Li is a military advisor of the Han army, why doesn't General Huang use him as a hostage?"

"The two countries are fighting each other. If you don't kill the envoy, Liao Li comes here in an upright manner. If I take him as a hostage, it will ruin the reputation of the Jiangdong Army. Huang Gai will not do this kind of thing."

Chen Yan sneered repeatedly, "You speak better than you sing, no wonder Liao Li calls you Uncle Shi."

Huang Gai was furious, "If I didn't arrest him, would it be out of selfishness? I, Huang Gai, have served Jiangdong for decades. Am I a person who cares about personal interests rather than righteousness?"

Chen Yan also did not give in, and said tit for tat: "Huang Gai, don't use your seniority to suppress people. I have been with Marquis Wu longer than you!"

Huang Gai was stunned for a moment, he stared at Chen Yan for a while, and asked word by word: "Who are you?"

Chen Yan knew he had made a slip of the tongue, so he simply pointed it out, "I was originally an internal guard, and I have been following Wu Hou around."

Huang Gai turned his head slowly, stared at Sun Quan, and smiled miserably, "It turns out that Marquis Wu has planted a spy by my side, I just found out today."

Sun Quan was expressionless, and said coldly: "You don't need to change the subject, let me ask you, have you surrendered to the Han army?"

"The old minister is loyal to the three generations of the Sun family, loyal to Jiangdong, and never surrendered to Liu Jing."

"nonsense!"

Next to him, Chen Yan said angrily: "You clearly accepted Liao Li's condition and dedicated more than 1000 brothers to the Han army, but you escaped yourself. If you didn't surrender to the Han army, would they let you go?"

Huang Gai shook his head, "You are such a stupid pig. I refused to fight to the death to save your lives. Liu Jing is a benevolent king. He couldn't bear Jiangdong's population to be slaughtered again, so he let me leave on my own. You are clearly a Little man, how can you understand the heart of an admiral?"

Sun Quan heard the sarcasm in Huang Gai's words and ridiculed himself as a villain. He couldn't bear it anymore and slapped the table hard, "Huang Gai, you are clearly here to ambush Jianye. You sacrificed the city at a critical moment, and you want to coax me with sweet words." Me, come, take it for me!"

More than a dozen guards rushed up and pushed Huang Gai to the ground. Seeing that Sun Quan only believed in the personal guards and not the generals, Huang Gai couldn't help but feel ashamed. Thinking of Sun Jian's difficulty in starting a business, he couldn't help being extremely distressed, and shouted loudly: "Sun Quan, Jiangdong is about to perish in your hands, what face do you have to meet your father and brother?"

Sun Quan was furious and ordered: "Push me out and behead him!"

The guards rushed Huang Gai out, and Bu Zhi, Zhang Zhao and others came out to intercede, "Wu Hou is angry, there is no conclusive evidence for Huang Gai's surrender, killing him will affect Wu Hou's reputation, please Wu Hou spare his life." .”

Lu Meng also interceded: "Huang Gai has a high prestige in the army, killing him will affect morale, Wu Hou think twice!"

Lu Meng's plea hit Sun Quan's worries, he said slowly: "Since all the ministers pleaded for mercy, I will spare him his death, but the crime of living is unavoidable, so he will be beaten with two hundred sticks and I will keep him under strict guard!"

The guards pushed Huang Gai down, only to hear him yelling from a distance: "Sun Quan, incompetent bastard, you are dead in Jiangdong, what face do you have to see your father and brother?"

The atmosphere in the hall was awkward, Sun Quan let out a heavy snort, got up and walked towards the harem, the other ministers shook their heads and sighed inwardly, but Lu Meng was a little worried, he had no intention of going to the barracks, and returned to his home.

In the study, Mrs. Lu sat alone at the table drinking wine. Huang Gai's return actually extinguished the last ray of hope in Wu County. Although Marquis Wu didn't ask about the situation in Wucheng County today, there is no need to ask Lu Meng. He also knew that Wucheng County must also fall, which was within his expectation, so it wouldn't make him so unhappy.

The point is that he just found out by accident today that Sun Quan had placed spies beside Huang Gai to monitor Huang Gai's actions, so would he also have spies from Marquis Wu by his side?The answer is obvious, Wu Hou couldn't even trust Huang Gai, who followed the Sun family for three generations, so how could he trust himself?

At this time, the door opened, and Lu Meng's wife, Xie, walked into the study with a plate of food. Lu Meng's ex-wife had died of illness. He originally wanted Xiao Qiao, but Xiao Qiao went to Chang'an and married Liu Jing as his concubine. Sun Quan intended to win over her. Lu Meng asked his wife Mrs. Xie to be a matchmaker, and married Mrs. Xie's widowed sister to Lu Meng.

Xie is kind-hearted, gentle and considerate, beautiful and dignified, and very affectionate with Lu Meng. Although she is Mrs. Xie's sister, she rarely goes to the palace to see Mrs. Xie. She wholeheartedly raises the two sons left by Lu Meng's ex-wife at home. He is highly respected by Lu Meng.

"The general seems to be in a bad mood?" Xie put down his food plate and asked with a smile.

Lu Meng sighed, "Jiangdong is turbulent, who can feel better at this time?"

"The general is also doing his best. He really can't save Jiangdong, and Jiangdong is exhausted. No one can blame the general. I just hope that the general will miss our mother and son, and don't fight with our lives."

Lu Meng nodded silently, his wife was right, and he felt no shame in doing his best. At this moment, he remembered something and asked, "What is Madam Wu asking you to enter the palace today?"

"Madame Wuhou said that Moling County is not safe, so let me take my child to live in Jianye Palace so that we can take care of each other."

Lu Meng was taken aback, "Did you agree?"

"I didn't agree. I said I would go home and ask the general for instructions, but she didn't insist."

"This is the best way. In a real fight, Jianye Palace will be unsafe. I think Moling County will be safer."

"I think so too. Senior officials and ministers like Zhang Junshi and Bu Changshi all live in Moling City. Since it's not safe, let everyone live in Jianye Palace together. Why do you have to let me go alone with my child?"

The speaker had no intention, but the listener had intentions. Lu Meng suddenly understood that it was clearly Sun Quan who wanted to take his wife and children as hostages!Lu Meng suddenly became angry from his heart, "Slap! ' With a sound, he crushed the earcup in his hand.

"General, this is..." Xie's face turned pale with fright.

Lu Meng held back the dissatisfaction in his heart, and said lightly: "It's nothing, remember my words, if Mrs. Wu Hou asks again, you can say that I don't agree, and besides, you don't want to go to Jianye Palace anymore."

Mrs. Xie nodded half understanding, "She originally invited me to come back tomorrow, so I told her that I'm not feeling well."

Lu Meng smiled and patted the back of his wife's hand, "When the war is over, let's go back to our hometown and have a look."
