Chapter 759 Opponent

Yang Zheng went on a killing spree in Bingzhou, attracting the attention of many people.

But what attracts more attention is Jingzhou.

Qin, Jin, and Wu are still in the stage of secret struggle.

Everyone knows that the party that moves first will be at a disadvantage.

Both Du Yu and Luo Xian could keep their composure.

But the problem is that Lu Kang can't keep his temper.

The wording of Jianye's edicts became more severe each time.

Of course, Lu Kang knew that Zhong Hui was behind the scenes, coercing the emperor to order the princes, which put huge pressure on Lu Kang. Lu Kang could only pretend to be ill and carry out soft resistance.

Many generals within Jiangling also advocated taking Xiangyang quickly before the Qin army had rested and reorganized.

"Our army is advancing by land and water, and our troops are reaching the gates of Xiangyang City. Yang Hu may be able to surrender without a fight!" The brave general Zuo Yi advocated an active attack, which won the support of many people.

They have a kind of blind worship of Lu Kang.

The Battle of Xiling was fought beautifully, but Yang Hu was just a defeated general.

"No, the key to this battle lies in Jiangbei. If we can block Du Yu or defeat the Qin army, Xiangyang is not a concern!" Wu Yan's idea was more radical.

Lu Kang remained unmoved.

While everyone was talking to each other, the officials outside the hall said: "Captain, there is a message from Xiangyang!"

The hall fell silent instantly.

At this time, Xiangyang sent a letter, doesn't it mean that he wants to surrender to Soochow?

Everyone was overjoyed.

Lu Kang also had a hint of expectation and said, "Come here."

What came was not only a letter, but also a set of prepared medicine.

"I have recently heard that your Excellency has a heart that is anxious and restless, and Hu is quite knowledgeable in medical science. He has a medicine that I can decoct it in the morning and evening, and it will definitely make you feel refreshed and refreshed."

Just a few short sentences, everyone read them over and over again.

"What does Yang Hu mean by this? Do you want to poison the governor?" Zuo Yi couldn't figure it out.

"It must be poisonous! The governor cannot drink it."

Yang Hu guarded Xiangyang and gained a great reputation. He acted softly and attacked people's hearts. He was very loyal to the Wu people. Every time they fought, they agreed on the time and place in advance. He never attacked or cheated.

Some subordinates caught Wu General's child, and all the generals said they could blackmail General Wu.

But Yang Hu released him, and many of Wu's generals defected.

Wu generals Chen Shang and Pan Jing attacked, and Yang Hu killed them. They were buried well. The children of the two generals came to greet the funeral, and Yang Hu returned them with gifts.

Even when hunting, if the prey was injured by the Wu people first, they would be given to the Wu people.

The Wu people were impressed by his benevolence and righteousness, and were sincerely convinced, calling him "Yang Gong".

Lu Kang had always been very upset with Yang Hu, and often praised him for his perseverance, but Zhuge Kongming couldn't live up to it.

He warned his subordinates: "He is dedicated to virtue, and I am dedicated to violence. This means surrendering without fighting. Each of us is just maintaining the boundaries, without seeking small gains."

The two sides get along well.

Looking at the medicine Yang Hu sent, Lu Kang shook his head. Yang Hu had identified the root cause of his illness.

The so-called anxious heart means that among the Three Kingdoms, Wu is in the most unfavorable position. Xiangyang is too important to Wu, so if you can't see it, wouldn't it mean that you are anxious and anxious? Yang Hu seems to be dangerous, but in fact, as long as he lets go, he can have both sides.

The five inner restlessness alludes to the constant discord and internal fighting in Jianye.

Vaguely, Lu Kang felt that Yang Hu was trying to persuade him not to fight.

But can we not argue at this time?

Lu Kang shook his head and smiled bitterly.

If we sit back and watch Xiangyang be captured by Qin, I am afraid that the Lu family will be criticized by thousands of people.

Jiangdong's right to speak was basically controlled by Zhong Hui. A group of celebrities gathered around him to talk, and the reputation of the Lu family was ruined.

The attendants brought the cooked medicine, but the generals stopped him again, "The governor is the backbone of the country, how can he take medicine from an enemy general?"

"Yang Hu is a poisonous person!" Lu Kang drank it without hesitation.

As expected, it was non-toxic, and I felt a lot more refreshed. I immediately came up with a plan in my mind, "Although the battle in Xiangyang is imminent, we must not act rashly. We can return the letter to build the industry, increase the number of warships, grain, reinforcements, money and silk!"

Zhong Hui wanted to use Xiangyang to consume Lu Kang.

Lu Kang happened to take advantage of Xiangyang to ask Zhong Hui for troops and food.

The clans in Jiangdong are like princes, and the Lu family is the most prominent surname in Jiangdong, and is the only force that can challenge Zhong Hui.

"But if Yang Hu surrenders to Qin, wouldn't our army be caught off guard?" Wu Yan said with a frown.

"Yang Hu has the most respectable reputation and will not surrender easily. After this battle, we will attack others first. If our army does not advance, Yang Hu will not easily fall to Qin. Moreover, the enemies of our army are inside.

Not outside!"

Jianye.

After Zhong Hui received Lu Kang's letter asking for money, food and reinforcements, he smiled instead of getting angry, "Is Lu Youjie bullying me?"

"Lu Kang wants to teach the bandits to respect themselves and follow Sima Yi's old ways!" In Jiang Bin's eyes, Zhong Hui is not Sima Yi, Lu Kang is.

Zhong Yi cupped his hands and said, "I recently heard that the general has recruited soldiers, expanded his strength to 70,000, and built a large number of ships. Father must be on guard."

Lu Kang has so many troops, it doesn't look like he wants to attack Xiangyang.

You can go down the river from Jiangling and reach Jianye in a few days.

Several important towns along the river have some inexplicable relationship with the Lu family.

Wuchang was originally the place where Lu Xun garrisoned troops, and Chaisang was the place where Lu Kang and Zhuge Ke changed their defenses.

Lu Kai still has more than 5,000 city defense troops in Jianye, and with the addition of other noble families in Jiangdong, Zhong Hui might be besieged on all sides.

When these things are connected in series, it makes people think a lot.

It doesn't matter whether Lu Kang thinks about it or not, the key is that he has the strength.

"Brother, you must take this as a warning!" Jiang Bin also agreed with Zhong Yi's opinion.

Zhong Hui paced for a few steps with his hands behind his back, staring at the map of Jiangdong, "What a pity, Lu Kang can't be used by me, otherwise the world will be useless! Tomorrow I will go to His Majesty's chariot to march personally, set up Jianye's army, and arrive at Xiakou, where we will meet

Hunting Jingzhou!”

"Doesn't this mean Jianye is empty?" Zhong Yi asked in shock.

If the army steps forward, Lu, Yu, Zhu, and Gu will start to cause trouble with the rear step?

Once he loses Jianye and controls the families of the soldiers, Zhong Hui becomes a lonely ghost.

But when Zhong Hui's eyes sparkled, Zhong Yi was shocked. How could he not see such a simple thing?

Could it be...

Zhong Hui smiled with satisfaction.

The next day at the court meeting, when Zhong Hui opened his mouth, there was not a single voice of objection in the court hall.

Lu Kai was just surprised, but did not dissuade him.

When the little emperor Sun Jin heard that he was going out to fight in the city, he clapped his hands and applauded, thinking it was just for fun.

Yu Fan, Zhu Xuan, and Gu Mu looked at each other, but their eyes quickly became unified.

Isn't this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

It doesn't matter if the emperor goes with him, just follow the example of the Sima family and control the queen.

Wu Jun's family members are all in Jianye, how can they still fight each other with swords?

However, Yu Fan was still a little wary after all. He had secretly fought with Zhong Hui many times, and he learned to be smart even if he was not smart. "Your Majesty, with the help of the Prime Minister, will surely win the battle and capture Xiangyang."

Zhong Hui put his hand on his forehead and said, "I know that the army is fierce and the battle is dangerous. However, Xiangyang is the leader of Jiangdong and must be taken. The Qin thieves are attacking from both sides. The general is unable to support himself in Jiangling and has fallen ill. Therefore, I have to give up to your majesty in this battle."

Let’s go together.”

After saying that, he took out Lu Kang's letter asking for help.

The black and white words on the paper are clear.

Lies often fail to deceive people. Zhong Hui was 30% false and 70% true, which gradually made Yu Fan, Zhu Xuan and Gu Mu lose their wariness.

"In that case, please take care of yourself, Your Majesty, and take care of yourself, Prime Minister."

"Haha, I wish you good luck." Zhong Hui said with an innocent smile that was harmless to humans and animals.

Lu Kai pondered for a long time, looked at Yu Fan, then at Zhong Hui, and suddenly said: "Your Majesty is personally conducting the expedition. He is a Grand Sima, so we must go without him!"
