Lü Meng led the army to approach Xiangyang, but the armies of Wenpin, Zhang Yun and Zhang Fei were helping each other, and they did not take the initiative to attack, so the army led by Lü Meng could not advance and could only temporarily stay.
In the main tent of the Chinese army, Lu Meng frowned and looked a little impatient.
It was the first time that he led an army alone, but was stopped by Zhang Fei, Wenpin and Zhang Yun, and he felt very bad.
In fact, Lü Meng also planned to lead his soldiers to attack by force, but Zhang Fei, Wenpin and Zhang Yun dug deep ditches, built high walls, and built countless fortifications, which made it difficult for Lü Meng to conquer in a short period of time. Especially Xu Shu and Guo Jia were not in a hurry at all.
, which made Lu Meng feel very strange. These two people were the left and right strategists in the army, but now they were sitting firmly in the central army tent without panic at all.
"Hey, when will this situation be broken?" Lu Meng sighed, showing a helpless expression.
Just as Lu Meng was sighing, the curtain of the tent suddenly rolled up.
The dazzling light shone in, and Guo Jia and Xu Shu walked in hand in hand. With a faint smile on their faces, they looked relaxed and casual. Lu Meng blinked and asked: "Uncle Guo, Military Advisor Xu, you two came hand in hand, are you there?"
What's the matter?"
Guo Jia glanced at Xu Shu and signaled Xu Shu to speak.
Xu Shu said directly: "Little general, the time has come to defeat the enemy."
Lu Meng was overjoyed and asked hurriedly: "Commander Xu, please speak clearly!"
After Xu Shu sat down, he continued: "My Lord, news came from Xiangyang that Liu Biao and his son had been killed, and Liu Bei also led troops to occupy Xiangyang. This is our opportunity."
Lu Meng shook his head and said: "I also know about this. It was Liu Bei who slandered the teacher. Military Master Xu, please explain the matter clearly directly and don't keep it secret."
Xu Shu smiled and said: "As the young general said, the person who killed Liu Biao and his son was not the lord but Liu Bei. Military advisor Guo and I carefully studied Wenpin and Zhang Yun and found that Wenpin was loyal and reliable and absolutely loyal to Liu Biao.
Now that Liu Biao has been killed by Liu Bei, as long as someone is sent to persuade Wenpin, there will be a chance for Wenpin to submit to our army and avenge Liu Biao. As for Zhang Yun, as long as Wenpin surrenders and the army approaches Zhuyang County, Zhang Yun will naturally surrender.
At that time, we will unite our forces to attack Zhang Fei and march straight to Xiangyang."
After Lu Meng heard this, he said, "We all think Liu Bei is the murderer, but Liu Bei slandered the teacher as the murderer. If the people sent to the Wenpin Army Camp are not alert enough and courageous enough, they may not be able to do it."
Guo Jia said: "Amon, I recommend someone, it will definitely work."
"Who is qualified?" Lu Meng asked.
In fact, Lu Meng also had three candidates in mind.
The first is Lu Meng himself, the second is the left military advisor Guo Jia, and the third is the right military advisor Xu Shu. But among the three of them, one is the commander-in-chief of the army, and the other two are the left and right military advisors in the army. They are all important figures.
Don't take risks easily, otherwise the army will easily get into chaos.
Guo Jia turned his eyes, looked outside the curtain, and shouted: "Zixu, come in."
After the words fell, a man wearing a sky blue robe walked in.
This person was none other than Du Xi. He persuaded his family members and took his whole family to Chengdu. On the way, he passed by the place where the Shu army was stationed. Guo Jia accidentally discovered Du Xi, a member of the family, and interrogated him.
After some research, they finally learned that Du Xi was recruited by Wang Can. Guo Jia took it upon himself to temporarily leave Du Xi in the army and let the Du family enter Chengdu.
After Du Xi walked in, he bowed down and said, "Du Xi has met General Lu."
Lu Meng asked in a deep voice: "Du Xi, are you really willing to serve as an envoy of the Shu army to persuade Wenpin?"
Du Xilang said: "If I go to Baokang County here, I will definitely convince Wenpin."
His tone was firm, showing an indomitable momentum. Although Du Xi was a scholar, he had a lot of passion in his heart. He stayed in the army temporarily. If he successfully persuaded Wenpin to surrender, it would open the way for the Shu army to enter Chu. Especially,
Du Xi had just surrendered to Wang Can and had not made any achievements. Now that he had an opportunity, he must seize it.
Lu Meng saw that Du Xi was neither humble nor arrogant, and thought it was okay, so he said: "Okay, you can go with peace of mind. If you persuade Wen Pin to surrender, I will personally ask for credit for you."
Du Xi bowed and said: "Thank you so much, General!"
After finishing speaking, Du Xi turned around and left the camp, followed by Guo Jia and Xu Shu.
…
Baokang County, the backyard of the county government.
Wenpin was wearing armor and was immersed in handling military affairs. Although Wenpin was young, his ability and martial arts were outstanding. On the one hand, he handled the affairs in the city in an orderly manner, and on the other hand, he trained the soldiers to obey orders and prohibitions.
"Ta! Ta!"
A soldier ran into the backyard, clasped his fists and said, "General, an envoy from the Kingdom of Shu has come outside the city and wants to see the general."
When Wenpin heard this, a stern look flashed in his eyes.
He thought for a moment and then ordered: "Let him in, I will see what he will do."
The soldiers immediately went to carry out the order. It didn't take long for Du Xi to arrive at the county house with an entourage. The entourage was waiting outside the hall of the county house. Du Xi, led by the soldiers, entered the backyard of the county house alone. He raised his head and raised his chest.
As he walked, he looked calm and calm, without the slightest fear.
Entering the backyard, Du Xi cupped his hands and said, "General Wen, you are well."
Wenpin raised his eyebrows and said with some confusion: "Mr. Du, you have become an envoy of the Kingdom of Shu."
Wenpin knew about Du Xi.
Wenpin was also very aware of Du Xi's matter, and felt aggrieved for Du Xi in his heart. However, he could not judge Liu Biao about eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor, and could only follow Liu Biao's orders.
Du Xi said: "General Wen is guarding Baokang County, making it difficult for the Shu army to move forward, so I came."
Seeing that Du Xi had turned the topic to business, Wenpin said coldly: "You and I are old acquaintances, so I won't kill you. You can go back by yourself. If Wang Can kills the King of Chu, I will kill Wang Can."
In the conversation, Wenpin regarded Wang Can as the murderer.
Rumors spread in Xiangyang that Wang Can had killed Liu Biao, but Wenpin didn't know yet that Liu Bei had occupied Xiangyang.
Du Xi remained motionless and asked: "General Wen, do you know the situation in Xiangyang?"
Wenpin snorted and said matter-of-factly: "My lord and his son were killed, and no one inherited the inheritance. General Cai must be in charge of military affairs, and the two masters Kuai are in charge of political affairs. What's there to say?"
Du Xi shook his head and said: "No, no, Xiangyang has changed hands. Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang and Liu Xian have all been imprisoned, and Liu Bei has led troops to capture Xiangyang. This has happened, General Wen should
Understand that the King of Shu is definitely not the murderer, but Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang plotted to seize Xiangyang, so they killed the King of Chu and his son."
Wenpin was a smart man, so Du Xi didn't need to elaborate. He looked at Wenpin with a smile, waiting for Wenpin's reply.
After hearing Du Xi's words, Wenpin's expression also changed.
As soon as Liu Biao died, Liu Bei occupied Xiangyang, which is suspicious. In addition, Liu Bei's army was still resisting the Shu army on the front line, but Liu Bei suddenly appeared in Xiangyang with part of his army, which is even more confusing.
After careful consideration, one would think that Liu Bei killed Liu Biao.
After a long time, Du Xi estimated that Wenpin had made a decision, and continued: "General Wen is loyal to the King of Chu, doesn't he want to avenge the King of Chu? Furthermore, Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others were also imprisoned, doesn't General Wen want to rescue them?
Cai Mao and others? As long as General Wen surrenders to the King of Shu and goes south with our army, he can avenge the King of Chu and get rid of Liu Bei."
Wenpin stared at Du Xi and said, "Mr. Du, you are really eloquent."
Du Xi shook his head and said: "Du just stated a fact that happened to give General Wen a chance to take revenge."
Wenpin took a deep breath and said: "Okay, I am willing to submit to the King of Shu and go south with the army."
In fact, as soon as Liu Biao died, Liu Cong and Liu Qi were killed, the state of Chu collapsed. What followed was that Wenpin became a general without a master. Now he took the opportunity to submit to the king of Shu, which can be regarded as following the trend.
Not only can it leave a way out for yourself, but it can also avenge Liu Biao.
