Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Lu Su had been able to survive from the Jiangdong period until now, and his ability to act according to the situation was extraordinary. Now that he saw that Yan Liang was planning to sacrifice him to appease Ling Tong, he immediately wanted to escape.

    Having made up his mind, Lu Su tidied up a bit and began to look for opportunities.

    After suffering until it was dark and all the soldiers in the camp were about to fall asleep, Lu Su raised his sword and swaggered out of his military tent.

    At this time, Lu Su was no longer a prisoner, and the soldiers guarding the left and right were all his subordinates in name, so no one dared to stop Lu Su when he came out.

    After leaving the tent, Lu Su got on his horse and went straight to the camp gate.

    The soldiers on duty at the camp gate stopped him, and a corps commander asked: "General Lu, where are you going this late at night?"

    "I have been ordered by the king to do something urgent, so why don't you get out of the way." Lu Su shouted with a straight face.

    But the corps commander said: "There is an order in the army. When entering or leaving the camp at night, you must have a pass sign. Please ask General Lu to show the sign, otherwise the young man will not dare to let the general out of the camp."

    Lu Su was shocked. He had never thought that the Chu army's military discipline was so strict. With the authority of his superiors, he could not overpower such a pawn.

    Between his brows, murderous intent suddenly arose.

    "The general's token is here, why don't you come over and see for yourself." Lu Su said and touched his waist, pretending to take out the token.

    The corps commander didn¡¯t worry too much and walked up unprepared.

    Just when the corps commander had just reached his head, Lu Su fiercely pulled out his belt and slashed at the corps commander without hesitation.

    But upon hearing the shrill scream of "ah", the captain's face had been cut open.  He covered his face and fell to the ground in pain.

    The rest of the gatekeepers were all shocked. They were all stunned for a moment. They didn't expect this new General Lu who had just surrendered.  Something unexpected happened and their captain was killed.

    Lu Su took advantage of the moment when the soldiers were distracted, rode his horse through the soldiers blocking the road, broke out of the camp gate, and fled into the night in the blink of an eye.

    "Lu Su has defected, someone is here."

    "Lu Su killed someone, catch him quickly"

    There were screams from behind.  The sound of warning gongs rose into the sky, and the entire Chu camp suddenly became noisy.

    Lu Su did not dare to stay for a moment.  After escaping and ascending to heaven, he whipped his riding whip as hard as he could, looking at the north like crazy and running wildly under the sparse moonlight.

    ¡­¡­

    In the tent of Chu camp.  Yan Liang has not yet fallen asleep.  He was holding a candle and reading the book of war at night.

    Hearing the commotion outside the tent, Yan Liang was not surprised at all, but instead had a knowing smile on his lips.

    It was as if he had expected the sudden commotion.

    Not a moment later, the curtain was lifted, and Pang Tong rushed in excitedly, cupping his hands and saying: "Your Majesty, everything is just as we expected, Na Lu Su escaped over the camp."

    "Yeah." Yan Liang put down the military book.  He sneered and said: "Give me the order and send a team of men to pretend to chase him for a while, and cooperate with him to make this play more realistic for Liu Bei."

    Pang Tong nodded, deeply convinced, and immediately left.

    Outside the tent, the noise quickly calmed down.

    ¡­¡­

    Lu Su, who escaped from the Chu camp, ran non-stop looking at the Yan camp more than 20 miles away to the north.

    Just as he expected, pursuers soon appeared behind him. Although it was difficult to see clearly in the late night, he could tell from the rumble of horse hooves that there must be a group of Chu troops chasing him behind him.

    The frightened Lu Su ran away like a frightened bird.

    When Lu Su fled close to the Yan army camp and saw brightly lit lights in the distance, the sounds of the Chu camp's pursuing troops behind him gradually faded away.

    Just when Lu Su just breathed a sigh of relief, a group of Yan Army patrols came towards them again.

    Lu Su was afraid that he would be accidentally injured by the Yan army in the dark, so he shouted: "Don't use force, I am Lu Su!"

    When the patrolmen heard that it was Lu Su, they were all surprised, but they did not dare to confirm the authenticity, so they surrounded him and took him back to the camp to hand over to Liu Bei.

    In the Yan Army camp, Liu Bei had not yet fallen asleep. He was pacing in the tent, his face full of resentment and distress.

    The fall of Tancheng and Lu Su's betrayal all made Liu Bei feel like a knife. He couldn't sleep or eat well, and he was always thinking about how to defeat Yan Liang and recapture Tancheng.

    It is a pity that Sima Yi has been infected with the cold since he returned from Liaodong. He is currently resting in Yecheng and unable to join the army in the expedition.

    ??And Kongming also stayed in Yecheng to handle government affairs for him, so at this time Liu?There is no wise counselor around him who can advise him.

    While he was in distress, Guan Yu suddenly went into the tent and asked for an audience. He said solemnly, "Your Majesty, that fellow Lu Su is here."

    Lu Su!

    Liu Bei's expression was shocked, and a bit of confusion passed over his face. He couldn't figure it out for a moment. Didn't Lu Su surrender to the Yan thief? Why did he come back?

    "Call him in!" Liu Bei shouted, looking suspicious and angry at the same time.

    The order was passed, and a moment later, Lu Su, escorted by several tiger and bear soldiers, stepped into the king's tent.

    At this moment, Liu Bei was sitting on the throne, his face gloomy, glaring at him angrily.

    Guan Yu also had a cold expression on his face, standing beside him with his sword pressed, with such an angry look on his face, as if he was about to kill him with a sword at any moment.

    Seeing this, Lu Su knelt on the ground with a bang, kowtowed and choked with sobs: "The sinner, Lu Su, pays homage to the king."

    "Well, Lu Su, I asked myself that I have not treated you badly, but how dare you betray me, and now you dare to have the nerve to see me, what are your intentions!" Liu Bei glared and shouted.

    "Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation. How can I dare to betray your Majesty? I had no choice but to surrender to that traitor." Lu Su defended himself with tears in his eyes, full of grievances.

    Pretending to surrender to a handsome thief?

    Liu Bei and Guan Yu looked at each other with suspicious expressions, as if they didn't believe it.

    Lu Su complained bitterly to Liu Bei in his trembling voice, full of grievances.

    Lu Su claimed that Yan Liang used a stratagem to induce the Yan army in Tancheng to rebel and wanted to kill Lu Su. He thought that it would not be worth it to die in humiliation at the hands of his own family. In desperation, Lu Su  Thinking that Tancheng could not be saved anyway, he simply took the risk and pretended to surrender to Yan Liang, using the opportunity to spy on the military situation and make up for his mistake.

    Lu Su's crying look and helpless expression, coupled with his explanation, made sense. After some self-examination, Liu Bei's angry expression softened a lot.

    Guan Yu, however, looked unbelieving and shouted: "You can't lie and make excuses for your crimes. I would like to ask you, if you really didn't have treasonous intentions, during the battle in Tancheng, I fell into the trap of Yan Thief.  Why don't you let me go back to the city?"

    "The Yan thief polluted the second lady in front of the battle. He clearly wanted to use provocation to induce General Yun Chang to fight. No one tried to persuade General Yunchang for a long time, but the general still wanted to attack, but he was ambushed by the Yan thief. At that time, the enemy troops were tight  Then, if Su Ruo opened the city gate, wouldn't he let the traitor army rush into Tancheng? Su thought that General Yunchang always warned us to put the overall interests of the country first, so Su was bold at that time and did not open the door to General Yunchang.  I have no choice but to open the city gate, and I hope the general will understand."

    Lu Su choked with sobs and spoke again, telling the real reason why Guan Yu fell into the trap, and even used Guan Yu's own words to refute Guan Yu's questions.

    Hearing these words, Guan Yu blushed and became thick-necked. Although he was angry in his heart, he could not express it for a while.

    At this time, Liu Bei suddenly realized that Guan Yu had not revealed the entire truth to him. Liu Bei glanced sideways at Guan Yu, and could not help but feel a bit of resentment in his brows.

    "Even so, who can guarantee that you have sincerely surrendered to the Yan thief. Now that you are here, you are actually following the Yan thief's order to be a spy." Guan Yu quickly changed the subject.

    Lu Su said sternly: "Su's loyalty to the king can be demonstrated by the sun and the moon. The Yan thief has a grudge against Su for annihilation of his family. How can Su be loyal to him? Even if Su is really entrusted by him to be a spy, then  It was just a perfunctory way to escape, not to mention that Su Nai killed the guarding soldiers and took the risk to surrender to the king. "

    After these generous and sincere words, the anger on Liu Bei's face disappeared, and instead he felt a little relieved.

    Liu Bei seemed pleased with Lu Su's loyalty to him. Lu Su's move really set a good example for his ministers.

    "I, of course, know Zijing's loyalty to me, so get up quickly." Liu Bei comforted him, with a rare smile on his face.

    Lu Su secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but then stood up with difficulty.

    When Guan Yu saw that Liu Bei trusted Lu Su, he was very unhappy and winked at Liu Bei repeatedly, but Liu Bei just turned a blind eye.

    It¡¯s no wonder that if Guan Yu didn¡¯t hide anything from Liu Bei about the previous battle in Tancheng, Liu Bei would still have confidence in him. However, when Liu Bei learned that Guan Yu had concealed the truth, his dissatisfaction with Guan Yu turned into hatred towards Lu.  Serious trust.

    "Your Majesty, I took this risk to defraud the Yan thief, and also got an important piece of information. I believe that this information is enough for the king to defeat the Yan thief without any effort." Lu Su raised his hand and spoke.

    Liu Bei's spirit perked up.??Under the surprise, what is the intelligence?

    However, Lu Su lowered his voice and said: "In the past few days when I was in the enemy camp, I heard that the Chu army's more than two million grains and grass were all gathered in Shitun, 20 miles south of Tancheng, and there were only less than 100000 soldiers garrison there.  Five thousand people. I think that if the king can send a light cavalry to detour and attack the Chu army, and then burn the food in Shitun, the Chu army's food and grass will be destroyed, and the people's hearts will be unstable, and they will collapse without fighting. "

    Liu Bei's spirits were lifted by these words, and the gloom that had been hanging over his heart for the past few days was swept away.

    As Lu Su said, if he can really burn the Chu army's food and grass, then even if Yan Liang has an army of one million, let alone Yan Liang's army of one hundred thousand, they will be defeated without a fight.

    The excited Liu Bei was about to adopt this timing, but Guan Yu said coldly: "Although this plan is wonderful, it is also risky. Our army is deep behind enemy lines. If the intelligence is wrong, it will be another big defeat."

    Hearing Guan Yu's question, Lu Su said with emotion: "Su is willing to guarantee his life. If the intelligence is wrong and our army makes a mistake, just ask the king to behead Su." (To be continued)
