Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The next day, the secret officer in Wu camp sent back the news that Lu Meng was indeed ordered to be beaten with a rod by Zhou Yu for persuading Zhou Yu to withdraw his troops.

    Dozens of military sticks came down and beat the young man until his skin and flesh were torn, leaving him bedridden.

    No matter from which aspect you look at it, Lu Meng definitely had a reason to betray Zhou Yu and surrender to Yan Liang.

    Yan Liang was convinced from the beginning to the end that Lu Meng's beating was definitely a trick, his surrender must be a false surrender, and Zhou Yu's painstaking efforts in directing all of this were just for the final fire attack.

    "It's a pity that people as smart as Zhou Yu and Lu Meng never imagined that ever since they saw the chained boat, they would fall into a trap carefully created for them by Yan Liang.

    "Lu Meng likes to act, so I, Yan Liang, will act with you till the end."

    After finding out the fact that L¨¹ Meng was beaten, Yan Liang sent people to sneak into the south bank, secretly met with L¨¹ Meng, expressed his trust to L¨¹ Meng, and promised a generous reward, asking L¨¹ Meng to steal the Wu army's food and grass as soon as possible and come to the north bank to surrender.

    Lu Meng also sent people to the north bank again and again to contact him, and repeatedly expressed his sincerity to surrender, but he always postponed the date of surrender on the pretext that the time had not come yet.

    Lu Meng¡¯s delay only further confirmed Yan Liang¡¯s speculation.

    There is no doubt that everything is ready. The reason why Lu Meng has not come back to surrender is because he is waiting for the most important external force.

    wind.

    Southeast wind.

    Fire borrows wind, and wind assists firepower. In the depth of winter, if there is no southeast wind to help, even if Yan Liang allows Lu Meng to set fire, his fire ship will only burn back to him.

    Yan Liang is not in a hurry at all.

    Yuan Tan in the north was beaten to the point of losing his mind.  Liu Qi in the west lost his troops, and the two second-generation ancestors could only huddle in their lairs, shedding tears and silently licking their wounds. At this time, Ma Liang had probably sneaked into Jiangdong, and the Shanyue people were about to raise their troops.

    At this time, Yan Liang has plenty of time.  Some sit patiently and wait for the wind to blow.

    For seven consecutive days, there was a north wind.

    After dusk that day, the north wind gradually died down and suddenly turned to the southeast wind direction.

    When the wind direction changed, Yan Liang had a vague hunch. Sure enough, Lu Meng's messenger arrived in the evening.

    Inside the Chinese military tent.  Yan Liang summoned the messenger alone.

    "General Yan, tonight finally gave my General Lu a chance to see. My General has decided to rob the provisions and return tonight. At that time, a yellow flag will be planted on the bow of the ship as a signal, and the young ones will be specially ordered to come and report to the General."

    ?As expected.

    There has been no movement for seven days in a row, but now the southeast wind comes and it comes back. It is not that I want to use the wind to set fire, what else can it be.

    Yan Liangliang sneered inwardly, but on the surface he looked ecstatic.  He was so excited that he burst into laughter.

    "I have been waiting for many days, and finally this day has arrived. God is really helping me, haha¡ª¡ª"

    After several bursts of laughter.  Yan Liang said happily: "Go and tell Ziming quickly that when I introduce the general, the gate of the camp will be opened and I will personally welcome him to submit."

    The messenger was also very happy. He thanked him and left in a hurry.

    As soon as the messenger left, the smile on Yan Liang's face disappeared and he said loudly: "Summon the generals to come here quickly for discussion. I have something important to announce to them."

    The order was passed down, and not long after, Xu Shu, Gan Ning and other civil and military generals came.

    Yan Liang glanced at the crowd and said loudly: "Everyone, I have received information that the Wu people are coming to attack the camp tonight. I have ordered you and others to lead your troops to prepare for a good battle with the Wu people."

    The generals heard that they were about to start a war, and their blood boiled in an instant. They were all gearing up and hunting with murderous intent.

    Although he was excited, Gan Ning was suspicious: "The Wu people can't avoid fighting for many days, but why did they choose to attack tonight? My lord, I don't know if this information is accurate or not?"

    Except for Xu Shu, Yan Liang did not tell anyone else about his plan, so Gan Ning and others did not know the secret.

    Xu Shu, however, had already understood Yan Liang¡¯s intention, so he smiled and said: ¡°This information is accurate, Xingba, you should prepare well for war and prepare to show off your skills tonight.¡±

    Even Xu Shu was so confident, and Gan Ning had no doubts, so he raised his hand and said with emotion: "Don't worry, my lord, if the Wu people dare to attack tonight, I would rather risk my life than kill them without leaving a single piece of armor behind."

    "Kill them to pieces without leaving any trace behind!"

    "Let the Wu dogs never come back!"

    The crowd was moved by Gan Ning's feelings, and they all shouted generously, and their high morale burned like a raging fire.

    Looking at the excited peopleYan Liang, who loved the general, was also filled with pride and laughed: "Okay, very good, let's have a big kill tonight, so that the Wu Dogs will always remember that our Yan Family Army officers are by no means easy to bully."

    ? ######

    The sun is setting in the west, and in the blink of an eye it is already dusk.

    After nightfall, the wind became stronger and stronger, causing the military flags to roar.

    On the south bank of the Yangtze River, at Wu Camp, tens of thousands of Wu troops have boarded the ship.

    On the pier, the warm food was ready, and Zhou Yu personally poured a cup and offered it to Lu Meng.

    "My reputation in Soochow and the hegemony of the Sun family are all going to be fought today. Ziming, I would like to toast you with this glass of wine, Zhou Yu, and wish you success."

    After speaking boldly, Zhou Yu raised his glass and drank it all.

    Although Lu Meng's expression was calm, there was a bit of excitement in his eyes, and he said boldly: "Don't worry, Governor, this plan is the work of the last general. If it fails, Meng must die to apologize!"

    " Lu Meng's words are equivalent to issuing a military order. If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent.

    After saying that, he drank the wine in one gulp and threw the glass to the ground with all his strength.

    Then, under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, he turned around and strode forward, jumped onto the walking boat, and shouted: "Let's go!"

    The order echoed in the night sky, and more than thirty boats, carrying Lu Meng and hundreds of his men, slowly left the water village and slowly sailed to the Yanjun water camp on the north bank.

    Zhou Yu and tens of thousands of Wu troops watched the dozens of small boats disappear into the night, and the passion for hunting was also surging in everyone's eyes.

    When Lu Meng's ships completely disappeared from sight, Zhou Yu immediately ordered the entire army to dispatch, and each team of men and horses acted according to the plan.

    Fighting ships clashed with each other one by one.  They sailed out from various waterways in an orderly manner, forming a formation silently under the faint light of the stars and moon, following behind Lu Meng's boat, and heading towards the north bank.

    ¡­¡­

    The boat is moving faster and faster, and the brightly lit Yan Liangjun water camp is getting closer and closer.

    Lu Meng, who was on the bow of the boat, looked back at the south bank. The deep night locked his sight, and he could no longer see any movement in the water village.

    But I have been struggling in the Yangtze River for so many years.  He seems to have developed an instinct that allows him to instinctively feel that there are countless ships following him closely.

    The river wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the boat is moving faster and faster.

    Lu Meng subconsciously touched the Huanshou sword in his hand. There was faint rust on the scabbard.

    Back then, he was carrying this knife.  He joined the Sun family and gradually transformed from an inconspicuous little role.  It was hard to get to where I am today.

    However.  Among the talented generals in Soochow, he is still the unknown one.

    "In this battle tonight, I must become famous all over the world. I must prove to the world that I, Lu Meng, exist"

    In the night, Lu Meng secretly gritted his teeth, with some excitement and determination surging on his face.

    When you are in deep thought, remind you left and right.  Yan Jun's water camp is approaching.

    Lu Meng's spirit immediately separated from his thoughts, and he straightened up.  He raised his eyes and stared in the direction of the enemy camp. There still seemed to be no sign of caution there.

    A sneer appeared at the corner of Lu Meng's mouth.  He took a deep breath and said loudly: "The enemy camp is approaching, and the ships are ready to light their fires."

    ¡­¡­

    At this moment, Yan Liang, who was on the chained boat, was playing with the warm wine in the cup out of boredom.

    The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and all the generals on the left were trembling in the wind, with a bit of suspicion flashing on their faces.

    "Didn't my lord say that the Wu people are going to attack tonight? Why haven't we seen half of the enemy for a long time? Could it be that the intelligence is wrong?"

    The generals were all secretly suspicious, but then they blamed themselves for not doubting their lord's judgment.

    The wind was chaotic for an unknown amount of time. Suddenly, an urgent message came from the sentry tower, saying that a group of small boats from the south bank of the Yangtze River were coming with the wind, and each boat was flying a yellow tooth flag.

    finally come.

    Yan Liang's blade-like eyes flashed with a cold murderous intent. He drank the wine in the cup and said sternly: "Where is Gan Xingba?"

    "The end will be here." Gan Ning, who had been waiting for a long time, responded with excitement.

    Yan Liang raised his hand and pointed, and said loudly: "I order you to lead two thousand naval troops and one hundred warships to dispatch. No matter how many enemy ships come, I will annihilate them all."

    "The general will obey your orders."

    Gan Ning complied with the order, turned his horse and left.

    "Wait a minute." Yan Liang waved his hand to stop him, thought for a moment, and then said: "Among the enemies, there must be someone claiming to be Lu Meng. If possible, it is best for me to capture this person alive."

    Lu Meng is a rare commander. In terms of his ability to command the navy, he is far better than Gan Ning.

    Although Lu Meng was still young at this time and needed more experience to grow into the four commanders of Soochow in history, his sacrifice of flesh and blood alone was enough to prove his extraordinary talent.

    It would be a pity to kill such a good general easily. At present, Yan Liang is short of good men to command the navy. If Lu Meng can be subdued, it will be a timely help.

    Although Gan Ning didn't quite understand why his lord valued this unknown young general named Lu Meng so much, he didn't dare to disobey Yan Liang's order, so he just obeyed the order and left.

    After receiving the general, Gan Ning immediately rode his horse to the shore. At this time, 7,000 naval troops had already boarded the warship and were already ready.

    As soon as Gan Ning got on the boat, he immediately led more than a hundred warships and more than 2,000 naval troops, rushing out of the water stronghold like the wind and heading straight for the oncoming Wu army's boat.

    At this moment, Lu Meng was leading his fireboat loaded with dry firewood and saltpeter, heading towards the north bank with the help of the favorable wind.

    The closer he got to the enemy camp, the more excited Lu Meng became.

    "Yan Liang seems to be unprepared at all. If he gets closer, I can successfully set the fire. Tonight is destined to be the moment when I, Lu Meng, become famous all over the world"

    Just when I was excited, suddenly, someone on the bow of the ship shouted: "Oh no, the enemy's ships are rushing out."

    Lu Meng was taken aback, and he looked up in the distance. Sure enough, more than a hundred enemy ships swarmed out and were quickly heading towards the bow of his ship to intercept him.

    Lu Meng¡¯s expression, originally determined to win, suddenly showed infinite horror.  (To be continued: Piaotian. Registered literature members recommend this work.
