0397 The Use of the Head
Kill well?
I killed Jiangdong General Lu Meng, and the young general actually said I did a good job!
Aren’t our Sun and Liu families close allies?
If it weren't for his allies, the young general wouldn't have tried so hard to cure Zhou Gongjin, the governor of Jiangdong.
Although some minor conflicts are unavoidable due to their respective interests in daily life, they are on the same side when it comes to dealing with Cao Cao.
Those who kill their allies are not righteous at all if they do it themselves!
Xing Daorong looked confused and couldn't understand what the young general said.
But from the tone of the young general's voice, he shouldn't have said anything sarcastic.
"Major General, can you help me clear up my doubts?"
Xing Daorong asked in a low voice, and instead of killing Cao Xiu, he killed Lu Meng.
This incident really made Xing Daorong feel a little unhappy.
It's a pity that his progress in killing General Cao is still zero!
Bai was so happy just now, thinking that he had killed Cao Xiu, but this was the result!
But don't get into trouble by killing the wrong person.
Although the Major General is protecting him, it is not easy to explain to the Lord!
After all, he was the general who killed his ally by "mistake", so this was a bit tricky.
"It's nothing. I used to dislike Lu Meng, so I just thought about beheading him with my own hands one day.
But I didn’t expect that you, old Xing Jie, would get there first, hahaha, so I said it was a good kill!”
Only then did Xing Daorong feel relieved, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Young General, I will take Lu Meng's head away immediately, destroy the body and destroy all traces, so that no one else can find it."
As for why people from Jiangdong appeared in the city, he didn't know. It was no longer important now. It was something the young general should consider.
However, if the young general can tell him the truth about killing Lu Meng, then Xing Daorong believes that there will be absolutely no problem.
"No need." Guan Ping thought for a while and said casually: "Old Xing, you were seriously injured during the attack on Jiangling City this time."
"Major General, I am very well and not injured."
Bang bang bang.
Xing Daorong patted the armor on his chest hard with his fist, indicating that everything was fine. He was not injured in the chaos. How amazing!
If he could successfully kill Cao Xiu tonight, Xing Daorong would feel that his luck would be overflowing.
It's a pity that Jiangdong general Lu Meng was killed by himself.
"No, Lao Xing, you lost several strands of your hair, and you still said you weren't seriously injured? You're confused!"
Lying on the wooden couch, Liu Zan tried his best to look up at his injuries.
Looking at the lively Lao Xing, he was speechless for a moment.
Who was seriously injured?
Could it be that the Major General is praising him!
Xing Daorong shook his head blankly, I was seriously injured! How many hairs were lost?
How serious is this injury?
I seem to lose a few hairs on a daily basis!
Lao Xing still felt a little ashamed in his heart, but when he saw the solemn look on the young general's face with his little eyes, he nodded and said:
"The Major General is right, I was seriously injured, ah!" Xing Daorong covered his chest and then sat cross-legged on the ground.
"Well, that's enough." Guan Ping nodded and said, "In the attack on Jiangling City tonight, two of my generals, Xing Daorong Liuzan, were seriously injured.
I have to ask Zhou Gongjin, the governor of Jiangdong, for an explanation on this matter."
Liu Zan was relieved, but he remembered this grudge.
Zhou Tai and Ling Tong almost hacked him to death tonight.
And from what the young general said, he was very dissatisfied with Jiangdong's actions, and he probably wanted to trick them.
"Major General, what should we do with Lu Meng's head?"
"It's very simple. Old Xing, you were injured when you deceived the city. Who killed Lu Meng? Of course it wasn't you, it was Cao Xiu!"
"Cao Xiu?"
"From now on, no matter who asks, they have to say that Cao Xiu killed Lu Meng!
As for the head you brought over, Lao Xing, it’s a fake and it’s not Cao Xiu at all.”
Xing Daorong immediately came to his senses and said: "Young General, what you are saying is that we are going to frame you for the fault?"
"There is no such thing as frame-up. This is called rational use of the resources at hand. We and Jiangdong are allies.
But tonight, Zhou Tai and Lingtong tried to kill us twice without acknowledging us.
But in order to keep us reasonable, Lu Meng must not die in our hands, which gives them more excuses.
Lu Meng in Jiangdong was killed in a fight with Cao Xiu, which can be considered a thing of the past.
This move diverted the attention of hatred and made Soochow suffer a loss. We can still stand firm.
As for whether others believe it or not, it doesn’t matter, at least we can stand our ground in terms of justice.”
"The young general is wise!"
Xing Daorong was overjoyed that Lu Meng was killed by him. Even the use of his head was clearly arranged by the Major General. His death was not in vain, and it could be considered that he had played a small role.
Liu Zan nodded secretly. As expected, Lu Meng's head must be useful, but he didn't expect the young general to come up with a plan to kill three birds with one stone.
It is really a big compliment. It is worthy of being taught by a famous general in the world. I will definitely have a limitless future!
Outside Yicheng, I took the first step with my own efforts, and I will follow the footsteps of the major general in the future.
"Old Xing, send a message to Zhou Li to take Chen Jiao over and report back. Are the other three city gates under our control?"
"Here."
Xing Daorong stood up and went down to give instructions.
Guan Ping rolled up the bamboo slips and put them into a cloth bag. If any city gate was not controlled by him, he must drive all the other community members out of Jiangling City.
After dawn, the dust has settled, and no one can stop Jiangling City from being in whose hands.
Guan Ping called his personal guard over and asked him to pretend to be Cao Jun. Xingye sent this transfer order to Dangyang County, in order to trick Man Chong out.
By the way, he sent his personal guard to bring a message to his own society, hoping that he could send people to ambush the soldiers in Man Chong's hands and eliminate the enemy's effective strength.
It's obviously unrealistic to occupy an area, so it's better to eliminate the effective forces in the hands of the enemy as much as possible.
After pulling out the nail in Dangyang County, by then Jingzhou will not be captured by our own groups, and no one from Cao's army will launch a counterattack.
After handling these matters, Guan Ping had time to ask Liu Zan how his health was doing.
"As far as I'm concerned, Major General, it's not a big deal. It'll be fine after a while."
"Well, okay, I'll send someone to find you some more dates later, so you can replenish your qi and blood."
"Thank you, young general."
Liu Zan was lying on the wooden couch, thinking that the young general still cared about him.
"Zhengming, please take good care of your injuries. I will seek justice for you for being injured by Jiangdong Second General. As for revenge, keep it in your heart for now."
"Zan, follow the arrangements of the Major General!"
"Um."
Guan Ping nodded slightly and picked up the blood-soaked bamboo slips on the short table.
Chapter completed!
