Chapter 101 The generals are at odds (read again!)
When Lu Meng brought Sun Quan's sword to the moat outside the Gong'an City, he saw that almost all the mid-level and above officers in his camp who could be named had arrived here.
Because of the large number of people, the scene was very chaotic, and Lu Meng could not find any trace of Sun Jiao for a while.
Faced with this phenomenon, Lu Meng felt a little suspicious.
It was expected that Mi Yang, the little thief, decided to hang Sun Huan on top of the city after seeing his own side launching the catapult.
And it only took an hour in total, so how could the news spread so quickly that all the middle and upper-level generals in the tens of thousands of troops knew the news?
But then Lu Meng thought that Sun Huan's identity was unusual.
It is normal for the news that he was hung on top of the city to spread quickly.
Soon after, Lu Meng, who kept looking for Sun Jiao in the crowd, finally saw Sun Jiao's whereabouts.
At this moment, Sun Jiao was fully armed and commanding his infantry, preparing to launch a second round of attacks on the Public Security City.
Why is it called the second round?
Because at this moment, outside the moat of Public Security City, the bodies of hundreds of Jiangdong soldiers were already lying.
The blood flowing from their bodies was so bright and contrasted sharply with the dim blood stains on the ground, proving that they had just died.
Seeing this scene, Lu Meng couldn't help but feel angry.
He had already ordered the entire army not to act rashly and to act according to his orders.
Unexpectedly, Sun Jiao would dare to disobey his instructions in public today.
Lü Meng strode to Sun Jiao with his bodyguards, grabbed the arm that Sun Jiao kept waving because he was directing the soldiers to advance, and said angrily:
"General Zhenglu, what are you doing!"
Lu Meng's sharp shout made everyone at the scene aware of his arrival.
When everyone knew that Lu Meng was coming, the anxious and panicked look on their faces gradually dissipated, and the whole scene was no longer so noisy.
Moreover, because Lu Meng prevented Sun Jiao from continuing to command the attack, Sun Jiao's soldiers also stopped continuing the attack.
This disappointed Mi Yang on the city wall.
The round of shooting like a living target just now allowed him to kill many enemy soldiers effortlessly.
Mi Yang is eager to try and want to try again.
When Sun Jiao saw that his attempt to rescue Sun Huan was blocked by Lu Meng, he immediately became angry.
He glared at Lu Meng angrily and said angrily, "What are you stopping me from doing? I am saving Shu Wu!"
Sun Jiao was of the same generation as Sun Huan's father, Sun He, so Sun Huan was considered Sun Jiao's nephew.
After Sun Jiao stated his purpose, Lu Meng said instantly, "Stop it!"
As soon as Lu Meng said this, just like Lu Xun's refusal to rescue the besieged Sun Huan in history, it instantly aroused the expressions of anger from all the generals present.
Is this Lu Ziming crazy?
You dare to say such things.
Among the generals present, Sun Jiao, who had the same clan as Sun Huan, was even more angry.
He threw away Lu Meng's hand, and asked Lu Meng in a tone full of resentment, "The Duke of Sun Wu Wei saw that his life was hanging at the top of the city, so why not save him?"
After Sun Jiao finished speaking, he emphasized his tone and said to Lu Meng, "How dare you not save me!"
The reason why Sun Jiao was so angry was because he and Sun Huan were from the same clan, and they felt the sadness of the death of a rabbit and a fox.
The most important thing is that Sun Huan's father was kind to Sun Jiao, a member of the Sun family.
In the first year of Jian'an, Sun Ce was assassinated and Sun Quan was ordered to inherit Jiangdong.
At that time, Sun Jiao's eldest brother Sun Hao believed that Sun Quan's talents were not enough to protect Jiangdong, so he launched a rebellion in Kuaiji County.
This rebellion was finally put down by Yu Fan.
After that, Sun Quan showed distrust towards Sun Jiao and his family members.
It was Sun He who stood up and strongly proved the innocence of Sun Jiao and his family members.
In the end, Sun Quan was not completely left out. Sun Jiao was a descendant of the Sun family.
It can be said that without Sun He's protection at that time, Sun Jiao would probably not have the power he has today.
With such kindness, how could Sun Jiao not worry about Sun Huan's safety?
Faced with Sun Jiao's questioning and the suspicious looks cast by the generals around him, Lu Meng said in a sarcastic tone:
"The thieves have won the hearts of the people, the city has enough food, and there is nothing to worry about.
He hangs up his military guard, which is a plan to lure the enemy.
I don’t want to not rescue Wuwei. Once the police take over, Wuwei’s dilemma will be solved.”
What Lu Meng said is right.
Mi Yang has only been guarding the city for a month now, and the moat outside the public security city has not been filled in yet. I think there is still a sufficient reserve of arrow stones in the city.
Under such circumstances, if an army is sent to attack Gong'an City, it will undoubtedly make one's own army a living target for the enemy's archers.
And what worries Lu Meng the most is that if he attacks hard at the beginning but fails to do so after repeated attacks, the morale of his own army will definitely be dampened.
But the morale of the soldiers in the city will become even higher, which is the most fatal thing.
A general will not raise an army out of anger.
Sun Jiao did not understand Lu Meng's explanation, but Sun Jiao did not understand Lu Meng's explanation.
Ever since Sun Huan was hung like a meat dumpling under the city, he had felt that there was no hope in his life.
Especially when more and more Jiangdong generals appeared on the ground not far from him.
Looking at the people who looked up to him in the past, although they were "looking up" to him today, Sun Huan only felt that their "looking up" today was full of ridicule.
This made Sun Huan so ashamed that he just wanted to commit suicide, but now he actually achieved the words "no place to be ashamed of".
But when the desperate Sun Huan saw Sun Jiao, his good uncle, appear, a strong hope of life burst out in his heart.
It was precisely because of this hope that he kept struggling on top of the city, and the whine in his mouth instantly increased several times.
When Sun Huan's pitiful whine followed the wind and reached Sun Jiao's ears not far from the city, he felt like his heart was pierced by a knife.
The Sun family of Jiangdong are all brave people, how could they endure such torture to their clan members!
In such a mood, Sun Jiao immediately commanded his soldiers to disobey Lu Meng's military orders and launch the first attack on the Gong'an City after arriving outside the Gong'an City moat.
But his first attack was treated as an experience bag by Mi Yang who was well prepared and swallowed it all.
Thousands of Sun soldiers retreated hastily on the moat under raining arrows, leaving hundreds of corpses behind.
This made Sun Jiao even more angry.
When he was about to launch a second attack to rescue Sun Huan, Lu Meng ran to stop him and told him to "just wait until Sun Huan is out of trouble."
How could Sun Jiao understand this?
Sun Jiao pointed to Sun Huan on the top of the city, and he said to Lu Meng, "Can't you hear Shu Wu's cry?"
"He also called you uncle in the past. How can you bear to let him suffer like this?"
"You are the general. You have your own thoughts. I no longer ask you to send troops to help me, but don't stop me today."
After finishing speaking, Sun Jiao will continue to command his infantry and start a new round of attack.
