    "Lu Meng, isn't he the one my lord mentioned last time, an inconspicuous young general from Soochow? Why would he send someone to see my lord late at night?"

    Xu Shu was suspicious, and the suspicion became stronger when he saw Yan Liang's strange expression, as if he had expected this.

    "Call the messenger in." Yan Liang waved his hand.

    Not long after, there were footsteps outside the tent, followed by shouts from pro-army troops, who were obviously searching the messenger in case he came to assassinate Yan Liang.

    After a while, the messenger walked in. When he saw Yan Liang, he bowed to the ground.

    "The young one is General Lu Ziming's personal soldier. On the order of my general, I came here to pay a visit to the general."

    Yan Liang didn't look at him directly, and just asked casually: "Isn't Lu Ziming a general of Zhou Yu's army? The two armies are fighting. What does he want to do when he sends someone to see me?"

    The messenger glanced at Xu Shu and hesitated to speak, as if he had some scruples.

    Yan Liang said displeasedly: "These are the general's confidants. If you have anything to say, please say it. If you don't say it, get out."

    The messenger trembled with fright, hesitated for a moment, but took out a silk letter from his arms, "My general wishes to surrender to the general, and I have specially ordered the young man to come and present the letter of surrender for the general to read."

    "As expected"

    A sneer flashed across Yan Liang's blade-like eyes in an instant.

    But Xu Shu, who was next to him, changed his expression. He was obviously a little surprised by Lu Meng's surrender.

    At this time, Yan Liang pretended to be shocked, jumped up, and snatched the "letter of surrender" from Lu Meng.

    The letter simply stated that L¨¹ Meng should not be reused in the Wu army.  He had been humiliated by Han Dang and Zhou Yu a few days ago, and he was filled with resentment, so he decided to surrender to Yan Liang.

    Every word seems to be true and there are no flaws.

    Yan Liang held the silk book in his hand and said in surprise: "Is this Lu Ziming really willing to submit to this general?"

    The messenger who was kneeling on the ground secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly: "The day before yesterday, Zhou Yu was provoked by the general's huge fleet of ships. He knew that he was outmatched, but he was motivated and insisted on continuing the battle with the general. My general Lu persuaded Zhou Yu to withdraw his troops and return to Wu.  , angered Zhou Yu, and was beaten with a military stick by him in public. My general Lu was so ashamed and angry that he decided to defect to the general. The sun and the moon can prove it."

    The messenger¡¯s mouth was quite sharp.  He explained Lu Meng's sufferings "sincerely".

    Yan Liang listen.  I couldn't help sighing and sighing, and I hurriedly leaned over and helped the messenger up with my own hands.

    "I didn't expect Zhou Yu to be so intolerant of others. It is really a wise move for Lu Ziming to abandon the dark side and surrender to the general. The general will naturally welcome him."

    Yan Liang showed great enthusiasm.

    The messenger was also overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Thank you for your consideration, General. My General Lu also said that he will use his position to secretly steal the Wu army's food and grass. He will lead his troops to surrender as a contribution to the general.  General Wanwang will accept it."

    When Yan Liang heard this, he was even more overjoyed and said excitedly: "Food and grass are important items for the army. If the Wu army hears that they have lost food and grass, their morale will be shattered. I will take advantage of the situation to attack it. Very good, very good."

    Excited, Yan Liang laughed even more, as if victory was right in front of him.

    Although Xu Shu next to him was also quite surprised, there was some hidden worry in his expression.

    After laughing wildly, Yan Liang said happily: "Go back and tell Ziming that if he can rob Wu's army of food and fodder and return, he will be the first contributor to my defeat of Zhou Yu, and I will treat him favorably."

    "I would like to express my gratitude to General Lu for his great kindness to Yan Jun."

    The messenger was overjoyed and immediately expressed his gratitude to Yan Liang.

    Yan Liang immediately rewarded the messenger with a sum of gold and silver, patted him on the shoulder and said: "You have done a good job in delivering the message. I should have kept you in the camp and treated you well, but this matter is confidential. I am afraid that someone in the camp will leak it.  Therefore, it is not convenient for you to stay for a long time. You should return to the south bank as soon as possible and convey the general's wishes to Ziming. After the time of return is determined, the general will wait here for his return. "

    "General Yan has thought it over, so the younger one will leave first." The messenger bowed his hands and left happily with Yan Liang's reward in his arms.

    The curtains fell, and calm returned to the military tent.

    And Yan Liang¡¯s expression of thirsty for talents disappeared in the blink of an eye.

    "Yuan Zhi, what do you think of Lu Ziming's surrender?" Yan Liang sat down and asked calmly.

    Xu Shu stroked his beard and said: "As the messenger said, it is not necessary for L¨¹ Meng to come and surrender, but I think it should not be underestimated. We should contact Wu Yingzhong to find out about L¨¹ Meng."Only if he is really punished with the rod can we know whether he is pretending to surrender.  "

    Hearing Xu Shu's words, Yan Liang finally understood what "the authorities are confused, but the bystanders are clear".

    In the novel, Huang Gai suffered dozens of military sticks and staged a cruel trick. None of the counselors around Cao Cao saw it. Only Xu Shu, who was "in Cao Cao's camp and his heart was in Han", saw through that it was a cruel trick combined with a false surrender plan.  .

    Now that Xu Shu has become his own adviser and a person in authority, with this change of status, he thinks that if L¨¹ Meng was really punished with the rod, then his surrender would be true.

    Thinking of this, Yan Liang couldn't help laughing.

    Xu Shu was stunned by Yan Liang's smile. Suspicion flashed in his eyes. He couldn't figure out what he said wrong or what Yan Liang was laughing at.

    The laughter suddenly stopped, and Yan Liang suddenly asked: "Yuan Zhi, let me ask you, even if Lu Meng was really beaten with a stick, how would you know that he wasn't deliberately playing a trick with Zhou Yu?"

    Xu Shu¡¯s expression was shocked, and his eyebrows suddenly condensed.

    After wondering for a while, Xu Shu said: "It's not impossible. If that's the case, then Lu Meng must have suffered so much in order to fake surrender and sneak into our army, and then cooperate with Zhou Yu inside and outside. If this is really the purpose, he can definitely lead the way.  All we have to do is surrender, so why risk being discovered and stealing food and grass to surrender? Isn¡¯t this unnecessary?¡±

    Xu Shu is indeed Xu Shu. Although he is a person in the game, he quickly became aware of the doubts after Yan Liang's reminder.

    "The key is this food and grass. Think about it, Yuanzhi. If those dozens of ships were heading towards our water camp at full speed without us being prepared, what if those ships were not loaded with food and grass, but  If it¡¯s firewood and other flammable things, what will happen?¡±

    Yan Liang no longer pretends to be mysterious, but has actually revealed the mystery.

    Xu Shu frowned, his thoughts were rolling, he pondered for a moment, and his expression suddenly changed.

    "My lord, are you doubting that Lu Meng pretended to surrender, but in fact he wanted to attack with fire!" Xu Shu jumped up when he was excited.

    Yan Liang smiled faintly and said: "Why are Yuanzhi so excited? When we were about to use iron chains to connect the boats, didn't you also say that although this plan was clever, it could be easily broken with fire, and Mizuro Koto was not an ordinary person."  Character, if you can think of Yuan Zhi, how can he not think of it? "

    After hearing these words, Xu Shu was shocked again and asked curiously: "My lord, did you insist on using iron chains to connect the boats, but did you do it on purpose, just to lure Zhou Yu into being fooled?"

    Yan Liang smiled and said nothing, acquiescing to Xu Shu's guess.

    The current battle situation between the two armies, based on pure geographical location, is actually quite similar to the original Battle of Chibi.

    The two sides were facing each other across the bank, and no one had the momentum to go upstream. Therefore, even if Yan Liang was locked in a boat, he was not afraid of Zhou Yu taking advantage of the momentum to set fire to the river.

    Under such circumstances, if you want to use the fire attack strategy, you must allow the fire ship to smoothly approach the water camp without being blocked by the patrol ship halfway.

    To achieve this, Zhou Yu, just like in the original history, must use the trick of false surrender to defraud Yan Liang's trust.

    It¡¯s a pity that Yan Liang has the ¡°historical memory¡± plug-in. How could Zhou Yu¡¯s various strategies escape his insight.

    Yan Liang wanted to teach the arrogant Wu people a lesson, but it happened that Xu You proposed the strategy of "chaining boats together". Yan Liang was reminded by him, and he had an idea and came up with this strategy to lure the enemy.

    But he didn¡¯t expect that Zhou Yu actually fell into the trap. It was just like those in history. It was a scheme to sacrifice flesh and blood, and it was also a scheme to surrender. The only difference was that those who received the stick changed from Huang Gai to the young Lu Meng.

    Xu Shu was a very smart man. He figured out everything in a moment. When he suddenly realized it, his expression was even more astonishing.

    "I didn't expect that my lord's strategy was so far-reaching that even the concubines didn't see it. I'm ashamed, I'm really ashamed." Xu Shu couldn't help but laugh at himself as he sighed in admiration.

    Yan Liang's lips showed a hint of pride, but he sneered: "Now that Zhou Yu has fallen into the trap, let's sharpen our knives and wait for Lu Meng to come and seek death."

    In the military tent, the two officials smiled knowingly.

    ? ######

    On the south bank of the Yangtze River, the Wu army camp.

    It was late at night, but the candles were still brightly lit in that military tent.

    Under the flickering light, Lu Meng was lying on the bamboo bed, with a thick layer of gauze on his buttocks.

    Footsteps sounded, the curtain was lifted, and Zhou Yu and Han Dang filed in.

    Seeing the two superiors entering, Lu Meng hurriedly wanted to get up, but when he moved a little, his wound was pulled, and the pain made him grin.

    &nbsp"Ziming, you are injured, just lie down and don't move." Zhou Yu hurriedly took a step forward and pressed Lu Meng down.

    Zhou Yu checked Lu Meng's injury and sighed: "Old General Han, your men were too harsh, and this drama was too much."

    Han next to him looked ashamed and smiled sheepishly: "The general's subordinates all want to avenge Zong'er and wish they could fight to the death with Yan Liang's dog thief. When Zi Ming said he wanted to withdraw his troops, they were naturally resentful. This  It¡¯s hard to avoid being harsh when you start.¡±

    "It's okay. The harder the beating, the more Yan Liang will believe that my surrender is true." Lu Meng, who was lying on the bed, was very generous.

    "It's rare that Ziming is willing to make such a big sacrifice. If this fire can burn that Yan Liang to death, no one in Jingzhou will be our opponent in Soochow. We, Soochow, will conquer Jingzhou and occupy the entire Yangtze River."  "

    Zhou Yu¡¯s words were full of confidence and the pride of hunting, as if the great blueprint was already right in front of him.

    Han Dang, who was standing, and Lu Meng, who was lying down, seemed to be infected by Zhou Yu's pride, and they couldn't help but laugh with joy.

    The proud laughter came out of the military tent, floating in the silent night.  (To be continued: Piaotian. Registered literature members recommend this work.
