The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 359 Xu Sheng Loyalty
"Xu Sheng?"

Wei Tao looked at the unconvinced young man who was tied up in front of him, and he was also quite surprised.

He did not expect that it was Xu Sheng who led the army this time.

However, if you think about it carefully, there is nothing surprising. In recent years, besides some veteran officials, Sun Quan has reused some young generals. Xu Sheng is one of them, and he can be said to be Sun Quan's confidant.

For such an important matter, Sun Quan naturally had to rely on his confidants, and Xu Sheng came here as the leader.

It's just a pity that this time it's a sheep that has entered the tiger's mouth, and it's basically here to die.

"That's right, I'm Xu Sheng! Unexpectedly, the general is so capable and knows the truth of our army. Now Xu is a prisoner of the general, and I'm afraid there is no chance of serving the lord anymore. Then I dare to ask the general about it." , who on earth betrayed the whereabouts of our army?"

"Hehe...I didn't expect you to be concerned about this matter. Anyway, let me tell you that there is no special person. If you insist on saying that there is, then it is that Lu Su, Lu Zijing."

Wei Tao couldn't help laughing, this Xu Sheng has a bit of spirit, and what he said now also has the meaning that since I am going to die, please tell me why I am going to die.

In this case, Wei Tao doesn't mind telling the truth.

"Impossible! Mr. Zijing will definitely not do that! If the general wants to use Xu to make such a divorce, then there is no need! Without Jiangdong's army, Xu has no face to see Jiangdong's elders, even if it is Once you die, you will have no face to see the lord!"

What surprised Wei Tao was that Xu Sheng was a stubborn man. After hearing what Wei Tao said, he immediately refused and said it without hesitation!

"If the general doesn't want to say more, he won't say anything! Why do you still want to act like this!"

Wei Tao was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect that Xu Sheng would think so.

But looking at Xu Sheng's young face, Wei Tao also understood that Xu Sheng really wanted to repay Sun Quan's kindness, even if he died.

Wei Tao was a bit rare for such a person, so he couldn't help but narrate Zhou Yu's plan one by one, Xu Sheng was dumbfounded.

"That's the way it is. Now, do you think it was revealed by Lu Zijing?"

Xu Sheng was silent, Xu Sheng still knew a little bit about military affairs, and Lu Su's actions were not unusual, they were all proper things.

But it was like this, but in the end he leaked all his information to Wei Tao, how could Xu Sheng be reconciled to this.

But at the same time that he was not reconciled, Xu Sheng couldn't help but admire Zhou Yu somewhat.

"Xu Sheng, you are not very old. If you die like this, would you be willing? Could it be that you don't want to have the ability to stretch yourself, and you have the heart to leave history?"

And at this moment, Wei Tao spoke slowly again, even in Xu Sheng's state of 'death', he couldn't help but move slightly.

This is an emotional performance.

But I have to say that Xu Sheng was really loyal to Sun Quan, but his face changed slightly, and then he said seriously.

"You don't need to say anything, the general. If you want Xu to betray your lord, it is absolutely impossible. The general doesn't have to pay attention to me! Xu has been loyal to the lord since his infancy, and he has been loyal to the lord all his life. If I want to betray the lord, then I would rather Inaction, even obscurity."

Not everyone can cross the barrier of fame and fortune, but after Xu Sheng said this, he relaxed, and it was obvious that he had really let go.

Seeing this, Wei Tao loves his talent even more.

"I really want to tell you, and I can promise that you will not make you fight Sun Quan, but will send you to garrison the north and guard the frontier for my big man. Maybe you will be famous in history in the future. Wouldn't it be better than being a teacher now? Wouldn't it be better to die before you die?"

Naturally, Wei Tao would not give up the opportunity of persuasion just because Xu Sheng refused, and he still said with a smile.

"If I were guarding the frontier, there would still be capable generals under the general's command going south, but it's just a fig leaf. The general's kindness was accepted by Xu Sheng. If the general is really good for Xu Sheng, then please fulfill Xu Sheng's intention."

Facing what Wei Tao said, Xu Sheng replied calmly, without any emotion on his face.

"Since you are so loyal to Sun Quan, let me ask again, what if there is no Sun Quan? What if Sun Quan has surrendered?"

The more loyal Xu Sheng was, the more Wei Tao admired him, and couldn't help asking again.

This time Wei Tao was only answered in silence, even with Xu Shengzhi's sincerity, he couldn't answer.

But at this time, Wei Tao just smiled, and he answered without answering. Naturally, a guard came up to wait for Xu Sheng with a wave of his hand, but when Xu Sheng was about to leave, Wei Tao just said something.

"That day will not be too long, and the Yangtze River may not be regarded as a natural moat!"

These words already showed Wei Tao's intention to Jiang Dong, but even though Xu Sheng understood, he couldn't do anything.

After Xu Sheng was detained, Wei Tao looked at Zhou Yu who was on the side.

"Gongjin, I didn't expect things to go so smoothly this time. This ten thousand navy army is almost one-tenth of Jiangdong's army. Our army captured them without any effort at all. Then Sun Quan is probably vomiting blood at this time. You have all your thoughts!"

"My lord, I really didn't expect this to go so smoothly."

Zhou Yu also shook his head slightly. When he learned the result of the battle, he was absent-minded for a while, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. But at this time, Zhou Yu's face was full of smug smiles.

"Whether Sun Quan vomits blood or not, I don't know, but my lord might as well order someone to make a big publicity about this war, and then order our military spies to spread rumors in Jiangxia City: Just say that in the next day's battle, our army will Take the Jiangdong army as the vanguard, not use their weapons, but use their flesh and blood as a shield wall, and then sit and watch Jiangdong's children kill each other."

Wei Tao's heart skipped a beat, not because of this proposal, but because he felt that Zhou Yu really had a deep plan.

As soon as this rumor comes out, it can shake the morale of the Jiangdong Army anyway. Without morale, why should the Jiangdong Army fight against him?
Wei Tao smiled slightly, and naturally ordered people to act like this.

In fact, when Sun Quan heard the news, he was completely stupid. He never thought that the reinforcements he hoped for would be so easily and completely ruined.

Sun Quan was stupid, so was Lu Su.

Originally, I was looking for opportunities for the Jiangdong army to delay time, but this trip exposed all my trump cards, and now it has become Wei Tao's sharp weapon to suppress the morale of the Jiangdong army?

For a moment, the two of them looked at each other and were speechless.

"Zijing, what do you think should be done now?"

After a long time, Sun Quan spoke slowly, but there was an unconcealable weakness in his voice.

"Can Jiang Xia still hold on..."

Even though Sun Quan was indeed a hero of the first generation, facing such a blow, he was really disheartened.

"My lord! Our army still has tens of thousands of troops. As long as we are guarding Jiangxia, it is absolutely impossible for Wei Tao's army to take down our army quickly. Now that Wei Tao is surrounded by enemies on several sides, he must not wait for long. Please don't take it, my lord." Doubt!"

Hearing Sun Quan's words, Lu Su was shocked immediately. He had already heard Sun Quan's intention of retreating, so he quickly spoke.

"Defend? How to defend? Do you want Wei Tao to come again and again to humiliate our army? If you can bear being humiliated as a woman, do you think other generals can also bear it? Do you think I can bear it too?"

At the end, Sun Quan roared at Lu Su.

In the past, Sun Quan naturally would not treat Lu Su like this, even if he really lost the battle, he would not treat Lu Su like this, but now it is different, Lu Su's previous actions have already made Sun Quan dissatisfied with him , and even doubted its ability.

After all, without Lu Su's actions, maybe such a bad thing would not have happened.

With such wisdom, Lu Su could naturally hear the bit of dissatisfaction in Sun Quan's words. Facing Sun Quan's situation, Lu Su could only smile wryly in silence.

If it was possible, he, Lu Su, was also unwilling to have such a result, but unfortunately the final result was like this, so what could he do?
"Lord."

After taking a deep breath, Lu Su spoke slowly.

"My lord, even if Jiang Xia cannot be defended, my lord can't give up easily at this time. I don't know about military affairs, but I also know about morale. Now our army is all determined to fight Wei Tao. If The lord will retreat instead of fighting at this time, so I am afraid that our army will not be able to fight Wei Tao again in the future. Even after Wei Tao takes Jiangxia, he will make a decree that Jiangdong can be settled. Who will defend Jiangdong for the lord? Lu Su Sincere words, please learn from the Lord!"

After speaking, Lu Su immediately saluted Sun Quan.

After all, Sun Quan was not a mediocre person. Although he felt that Lu Su's talent was not as high as he had imagined, he still knew how to win people's hearts. Seeing Lu Su like this, he immediately helped him up.

"Zijing, you don't have to do that! You don't have to! It's true that I was confused by Wei Tao before. Now I am in danger in Jiangdong. If I defend Jiangxia, I still have a little chance of winning, but as Zijing knows, Wei Tao insulted our army so much. , even if I can defend, how can the soldiers under my command defend? If they cannot defend, what is the difference between them and retreating directly?"

Naturally, Lu Su was not ignorant of military affairs. He might not have realized it at the time, but he could figure it out afterwards. What's more, now that the book of war has been issued, if there is really no war, it can also be said that Jiangdong has surrendered.

So Lu Su quickly saluted Sun Quan again, and then said that.

"My lord, this battle must not be fought, this battle must not be fought. The situation is delicate at this time. I have a plan to offer my lord, and I ask my lord to hear about it."

"Zijing, but if you have any plans, please tell me quickly."

Sun Quan couldn't wait to hear what Lu Su had to say, so he said it immediately.
