Sima Yi's Three Kingdoms Collection Collection

Chapter 254 Sweeping out the rebel General Meng Da (9)
"Well...then what do you say should be done about this matter?"

"The subordinates still believe that when the lord is in the face of this great enemy, he must not indiscriminately kill and act recklessly to overpower others. He must use kindness and benevolence to be kind to everyone, so that the people in the city can fight against the foreign enemy with one heart and one mind. ah!"

Hearing his words, Meng Da came back slowly, and couldn't help secretly getting angry, and said coldly: "If you don't use heavy codes to establish your prestige, how can you suppress the "internal traitors" in the city? Li Fu! Okay, it’s just too roundabout! I don’t know how to be flexible at all! For more than ten years, why have you been the head of the county mansion, but I, Meng Da, can be your lord? Even more brilliant—this seat is not as straightforward as you!"

He choked so hard that Li Fu's face changed slightly on the spot, and even his hands that had been firmly placed on his knees couldn't help shaking violently—in an instant, he almost bit his lips until they bled!
At this time, Meng Da didn't take into account all the feelings and reactions in Li Fu's heart, and continued to chatter: "You! When the situation is critical, you were fooled into that by Sima Yi's letter of arrows! Li Fu, I give you Let’s just say, don’t look at Sima Yi, who keeps saying that he wants to ‘abandon the method of water attack and convince people with virtue’, maybe he has already secretly started digging ditches and dams outside to attract Han River to fill the city... Fortunately, I was right at the beginning. This trick was kept in secret! Well...Of course, this is also due to your advice and advice from Li Fu."

What he said by "retaining one hand" means that he followed Li Fu's suggestion and built the county city into two layers: the outer city and the inner city, with a drainage ditch in the middle leading directly to the moat outside the city... This is what he saw " Arrow Book" because I didn't panic in my heart.In case Sima Yi breaks his promise and becomes fat, he really needs to divert water to attack, so he can withdraw to the inner city and stick to his defense!But right now, Li Fu, relying on his status as a "brain tank", is always pointing fingers and commenting on things in front of him, which is really too annoying!Just let him out and put it aside, and try to keep his ears clean!

So, Meng Da forcefully forced a few dry smiles, and said to Li Fu pretending to be kind: "Master Li! This morning, Deng Xian sent someone to report that he is a bit tight guarding the east gate—you can take my place." Go to his place to reward and condolences, and let them stand up to this seat! By the way, you will stay there to help Deng Xian and the others guard the east gate... This task, this seat, I believe that you will be able to successfully complete it! As long as we can After another two or three months, Sima Yi and his team will definitely retreat without fighting due to lack of food..."

Li Fu sat opposite him silently, with a somewhat blank expression on his face: "Your subordinate obeys."

Recover New City
The bluestone floor tiles of the Dongcheng gate tower are full of broken arrows, scattered with sawdust and gravel, and also stained with blood...

Li Fu led a team of personal soldiers to the podium carrying dozens of tans of beef and rice wine. From a distance, he saw Deng Xian, whose face was covered in blood, hoarsely directing the left and right soldiers to join the battle.

"Master Li! Are you here?" Deng Xian had caught a glimpse of Li Fu coming up the corridor of the city wall, and hurriedly ordered a few words to his subordinates, then trotted over to meet him.He took off the leopard-head bronze helmet that was cracked by the enemy's random arrows, and smiled at Li Fu: "It's really hard work for you, you have brought us so much wine and meat! "

"Lieutenant Deng and all the officers and men are fighting bloody battles in the front, and we deserve to send these mere rewards! We deserve it!" Li Fu replied while watching the situation on the tower: the corners of the walls are crooked. Wounded soldiers were lying on the ground one by one, moaning one after another.

Deng Xian wiped the hot sweat off his face with his hand, picked up a wooden ladle, scooped up a scoop full of rice wine, and drank it "gulp, gulp", then turned around and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Everyone! Let’s take turns to rest and eat in batches! Don’t be in a hurry, everyone has a share..."

Li Fu pulled him to stand behind a stone bunker, and asked with concern, "Is the battle going well on the tower? Everyone's morale looks good?"

Deng Xian nodded quickly, swallowed his saliva forcefully, with an anxious expression on his face: "That's all! It's just that Deng has an urgent matter that needs to be reported to my uncle by Master Li. Meng Xing can no longer take away my elite soldiers guarding the East City at will!" Then, he pointed to the piles of wounded soldiers lying on the corridor at the corner of the tower and said: "He asked me to use these four or five thousand How can old, weak and remnant soldiers withstand the onslaught of tens of thousands of enemy troops outside the city?!"

Li Fu also said sullenly: "Ms. Li looked a little strange just now. Didn't Prefect Meng leave more than 1 elite soldiers with you to garrison the East City? Why does the number seem so few today?"

"Where are there more than 1 elite soldiers? In the past six or seven days, Meng Xing has been running here, and he has transferred five or six thousand soldiers from me one after another... No, yesterday he asked his own soldiers to bring letters. He said that there are "traitors everywhere" in the city, and they must be wiped out with heavy troops, and eight hundred of my soldiers will be taken away..." Deng Xianyue said more and more angrily, "I scolded his personal soldiers who carried the letter on the spot. , Do you still want to defend? What are they trying to do by taking away so many elite troops and entering the inner city?"

inner city? !When Li Fu heard this, his face turned pale with shock: No wonder when I came out of the prefect's mansion, I saw many soldiers crowded into the streets and alleys of the inner city along the way!Judging from these signs, Meng Da was clearly preparing to abandon the outer city and retreat to the inner city to protect himself!Then why did he send himself to assist Deng Xianshou on the East City Gate Tower?This... Isn't this deliberately deceiving myself and Deng Xian to foolishly treat him and his son as scapegoats on the front line?Reminiscent of Meng Da's various expressions and attitudes towards him, and thinking of Meng Da's ruthlessness and ungratefulness, Li Fu felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his heart and lungs were frozen to the core...

He secretly gritted his teeth, slowly calmed down the violent turmoil in his heart, and desperately forced back the painful tears that were about to come out of the corners of his eyes!After thinking for a while, he put on a calm face, waved to Deng Xian, pulled him to squat down, and whispered to him: "Deng Junwei, it's time for Li to have a talk with you. Let's talk about some heart-to-heart things..."

"Wei Jun came in! Wei Jun came in!"

A flurry of shouts woke Meng Da up from the couch in the underground secret room.He hurriedly jumped up, grabbed the scabbard hanging on the bed, and pulled out the sword. The cat shrank to a corner of the secret room, hid himself behind the bookshelf, and stared at the door.

"Bang bang bang" after a deafening knock on the door, Meng Xing's shout came from outside: "My lord father! Open the door quickly! Wei Jun has entered the city!"

Meng Da twisted the mechanism, and the door opened. Meng Xing led seven or eight soldiers to rush in, and immediately shouted: "Father! Quick! Quick! Quick! My child will cover you and break out of the encirclement!"

Meng Da flashed out from the corner, and asked with a surprised face: "How did the Wei army attack the city? It's impossible!"

Meng Xing's face was full of tears, he stamped his feet and shouted, "It's Li Fu and Deng Xian—they secretly opened the east wall gate and let Wei Jun in..."

"Why don't you close the gate of the inner city quickly?" Meng Da shouted anxiously.

"The guards at the gate of the inner city are the old subordinates of Li Fu and Deng Xian. When they shouted in front, they all threw up their weapons and surrendered!"

"Li Fu! Deng Xian! These two guys, one is my nephew and the other is my confidant, and they both betrayed me ungratefully!" Meng Da was furious, "I've seen There is something wrong with Li Fu recently, I really should have killed him in the prefect's mansion! I really hate him! Deng Xian is as stupid as a pig, he should have been slaughtered long ago! Sigh... or my heart is too soft..."

As he said that, his eyes were full of fierceness: "Kill! We father and son must kill them, and we must chop off the heads of these guys to feed the dogs!"

"Meng Da! There's nothing to be angry or hateful——17 years ago, you betrayed Liu Zhang and joined Liu Bei; seven years ago, you betrayed Liu Bei and joined my great Wei; three months ago, you again Betrayed my Great Wei once and turned to Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun——as the saying goes, "Those who betray others, others will also betray them; those who harm others, others will also harm them". Every time you come to Luoyang Taixue, you have to be fiddled with by the doctors Your eloquence shows how intelligent you are, these inscriptions should be familiar to you, right?"

With a deep and powerful voice sounding slowly, a row of torches suddenly lit up at the door of the room, illuminating the room and the outside.Two rows of tiger and cardinal warriors carried a red lacquered chariot and stood solemnly outside. On it sat an elderly man who was nearly fifty years old, with three shiny black beards under his chin, which gently fluttered behind his shoulders in the wind—he looked forward At this moment, the fearful and majestic presence, with every gesture, an indescribably clear and murderous air swept towards Meng Da and the others!

——He is Sima Yi, the Southern Governor of Weiguo Town!

"Sima Yi! You old thief, how dare you be so treacherous—you secretly bought Li Fu and Deng Xian to plot against me!" When Meng Da saw him, his eyes bulged out angrily, and he almost wanted to spit fire. Come!
Sima Yi smiled slightly, did not answer, but slowly turned sideways to the back of the chariot and asked leisurely: "Did you both hear what he said?"

Meng Da's eyes widened in astonishment, and from the shadow behind Sima Yi, two people walked out side by side, it was Li Fu and Deng Xian!They both stared at themselves with complicated expressions, and the deep contempt was clearly revealed in their eyes!
"Meng Da, you don't know! Just now, you two subordinates were begging the governor to spare your father and son's lives along the way! But what we heard outside this room was you They kept saying that they were going to chop off their heads and feed them to the dogs!"

Sima Yi spoke slowly, and there was a ray of humor in the deep calmness of his tone—but this ray of humor was like a needle of ice, piercing people's hearts with a faint pain!

Meng Da was stunned like a stone man. With a "clang", the sharp sword in his hand suddenly dropped to the ground vertically.

"Father..." Meng Xing looked at his father who suddenly became like a "living dead", and couldn't help but almost cried out!
But Sima Yi's eyes passed over Meng Da's head, looked around the secret room, and said slowly: "Hehehe! You built your nest very solidly! These walls are all made of one piece. It’s made of big bluestone, right? What a pity! What a pity! The imperial court really should have left you in Luoyang as a master craftsman, so maybe it would have saved you from the disaster of extermination today, right?”

"You guys forced me..." Meng Da murmured, "You guys forced me..."
