Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the shadows are sneaky.

Fu Shiren tiptoed to a corner of the camp carrying Lei Si. He wanted to uncover the secrets buried by Lu Meng, but Xiang Xun's words did not move him, because his wife and children were all resettled in Jianye.

If Fu Shiren really assassinated Lu Meng, then he would be no different from Ma Chao, and he would soon receive a big gift package in which his whole family was beheaded.

Fu Shiren is now nearly half a hundred years old. Even if he returns to Liu Bei's tent, he will be alone for the rest of his life, so he wants to find something to do with Lu Meng.

With the handle, he can negotiate conditions with Lu Meng. This is the only way Fu Shiren can think of to change the status quo.

These few days of siege were extremely exhausting. Fu Shiren dawdled around in front of the battle every day, and at night he was more energetic than ordinary people. During his rest, he found the location where the secret was buried, and finally got his chance this night.

In fact, Lu Meng buried Han Dang privately because he was dedicated to the public, and he didn't want to affect the morale of the army during the siege.

After all, Han Dang's skills were not as good as others and he was killed by the array. Even if he went to Sun Quan's place, it had nothing to do with Lu Meng, but Fu Shiren would be wrong.

Because the time for burying the corpse was tight that night, Han Dang's cemetery was dug relatively shallow.

Fu Shiren waved the Leisi and dug for a while, then revealed his familiar armor.

It turned out to be the general's armor?Moreover, Fu Shiren squatted down and pulled the soil with his hands, and soon saw Han Dang's pale face.

"This fellow Lu Meng is so bold." Fu Shiren was so startled that he slumped on the ground, sweat dripping from his forehead.

"who is it?"

The voice from behind was like the sound of hell to Fu Shiren's coming water, because it was made by the governor Lu Meng.

Clang.

Fu Shiren turned around and drew out his sword. He suppressed the panic in his heart, and sternly reprimanded: "Lu Meng, you are so brave to kill old General Han and hide his body here."

At this moment, the moon was hidden behind the dark clouds, and Lu Meng heard Fu Shiren's voice in the darkness.

Lu Meng sneered: "Fu Shiren, are you out of your mind? Old General Han was killed in battle. What do you want to do if you don't sleep in the middle of the night?"

Lu Meng found that the back of the man did not look like an assassin because he was in his own camp, so he didn't even bring his personal guards with him when he patrolled the camp.

"Death in battle? Why do you want to bury it secretly? I can help you hide this matter, and even cover it for you, but you must take my family to Jiangxia, otherwise I will announce this matter."

After Fu Shiren finished speaking, he became more and more calm, thinking that this secret is not a big one. Han Dang has high prestige in the army and has many old troops.

"Who ordered your family to be transferred to Jianye? Could it be that you really don't have a clue? You still plan to threaten me somehow? Could it be that you were really instigated by Xiang Xun?"

Lu Meng kept asking, and finally put a hat on Fu Shiren.

The moonlight shined on the earth again, Lu Meng stood there with a disdainful expression, not paying attention to Fu Shiren at all.

"Lu Meng, don't talk nonsense, I don't care who's order, just ask if you can do it for me?"

Fu Shiren gripped the hilt of his sword tightly. When the sword came out of its sheath just now, he had already lost his way of retreat. Even if he made a mistake, he had to make a mistake.

Lu Meng snorted coldly: "You really think of yourself as someone? How dare you point a sword at Shangguan? Don't you know how to write death? Forget about your wife and children."

"Bastard, I have tolerated you for a long time, and now I will kill the traitor for the lord."

When Fu Shiren heard that Lu Meng threatened his family again, he suddenly became vicious and rushed over with his sword raised angrily.

"The waste is safe." Lu Meng quickly drew his sword to block it.

Clang clang clang, gold and iron collided and screamed.

The two came and went, slashing at each other like enemies.

Fu Shiren burned his sword in anger, and Lu Meng became more and more angry as he fought, thinking that this man was so presumptuous.

The sound of the two fighting fiercely became louder and louder, breaking the tranquility of the night.

The sleeping soldiers in the camp thought that the enemy was robbing the camp, so they put on their clothes and rushed out of the tent, only to see a strange scene when they came out.

The governor of Jiangxia was desperately fighting with their chief governor, and soon there were soldiers standing around the two of them, and everyone forgot to persuade them to fight.

"Lu Meng killed Old General Han, everyone quickly follow me to kill the traitor." Fu Shiren shouted while beating.

Lu Meng stepped forward vigorously, parried the sword in Fu Shiren's hand, and then laughed wildly: "You are so naive, you don't even look at whose territory this is? You are looking for death."

"Governor, be careful." A follower next to him exclaimed.

Lu Meng was a little carried away when he laughed, but the opponent's attack would not stop there.

Relying on the fact that he was surrounded by his own people, for a brief moment when Lu Meng laughed and lost his mind, Fu Shiren swung his sword again.

Lu Meng blocked it with his left hand by a strange coincidence, and the sharp blade quickly slid across his palm.

A cold light flashed, and blood spattered.

Half of the palm of Lu Meng's left hand was cut off in an instant, only the index finger and thumb were connected to the arm, and the remaining half of the palm was not completely cut off. The thin layer of skin on the back of the hand was pulling the broken palm.

"what……"

Lu Meng withdrew his left arm with a scream, and the severe pain instantly filled his brain. He tried his best to hold the sword across his chest with his right hand to prevent Fu Shiren's next fatal attack.

The soldiers, who were drowsy, were already rejuvenated by the smell of blood at this time, and they all drew their swords to block Fu Shiren's way.

The 'warrior' who fought for his wife and children was quickly disarmed by the soldiers, and then his hands were bound and he was pressed to the ground.

"Governor, what should we do?" the supervisor Gu Li asked in astonishment.

"If you offend the next one, you will be executed immediately."

The wound on Lu Meng's palm was bleeding profusely, and his complexion was already very bad.

"I don't accept...Gu Supervisor, Lu Meng killed Old General Han, I'm doing this for my lord."

Fu Shiren was knelt on the ground by two strong men, and raised his head with difficulty to plead.

"This..." Gu Li didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

Lu Meng clenched his left wrist with his right hand to prevent the blood from leaking out, then looked at Gu Li and said with difficulty: "Fu Shiren killed General Han and was burying his body just now. I happened to see him and wanted to bite back. Don't you think so?" Don't believe me?"

Gu Li is Sun Quan's confidant, he believes that Lu Meng is naturally better than Fu Shiren.

"No...it's not...Lu Meng turned black and white..." Fu Shiren was terrified.

"Then how do you explain the mud on your face? Attacking a Shangguan is also a capital offense." Gu Li pointed at Fu Shiren, his hands covered in mud and sternly yelled.

"This is...I'm not...really not..." Fu Shiren felt his mouth was covered and couldn't explain it clearly.

Gu Li clasped his fists and bowed to Lu Meng: "Governor, what do you think we should do?"

"Torn apart with knives."

After Lu Meng finished speaking, he lost blood and fainted. Because Sun Quan didn't give him a festival, he didn't have the right to beheaded before the battle, and the right to dispose of it was in Gu Li's hands.

"Supervisor Gu, you have to believe... trust me..." Fu Shiren's face was terrified.

"Sword and axe, according to the request of the governor, execute immediately." Gu Li's heartless words announced the end of Fu Shiren's life.

Several of Lu Meng's relatives moved after hearing the sound, and greeted Fu Shiren like chopping melons and vegetables. The governor of Jiangxia soon became a few lumps of rotten meat.

Lu Meng lost a lot of blood due to his injury, and he slept until noon the next day after being bandaged and prescribed medicine by the doctor in the army.

"What time is it now? Is there any plan to attack the city today?" Lu Meng shouted while lying in the tent.

Gu Li, the supervisor, almost jumped up for joy when he saw that Lu Meng was awake, and he quickly replied, "It's already [-]:[-] p.m., because the chief governor was injured, so he didn't continue to attack the city."

Lu Meng's left hand was broken and couldn't be connected, and after being cut off, it was wrapped into a big pancake. He tore off the white cloth on his forehead with his right hand, then sat up and said anxiously: "Arrange the siege quickly with me, Jiangling is already approaching." We can't hold on anymore, we can't give Xiang Xun a chance to breathe, how can we abolish state affairs because of my minor illness?"

"Uh..." Gu Lixin said that I was just a military supervisor, don't tell me about dispatching troops.

"Governor, something is wrong." The guards outside the tent broke in, panic and uneasiness written all over their faces.

Chapter 575 Gan Ning's scum licking tactics

"Why panic?" Lu Meng scolded angrily.

The guard clasped his fists and replied: "Reporting to the governor, the scouts just came to report that hundreds of warships appeared in Yangshui, only thirty miles away."

Lu Meng turned to look at Gu Li: "Could it be Gong Yi's reinforcements?"

"Gong Yi's task is to intercept the Han River, and Guan Yu has quite a number of navy troops, so he still has spare energy to help the governor?" Gu Li frowned.

"Do you know whose reinforcements it is?" Lu Meng asked.

The guard bowed his head and replied: "Uh... there is a flag with the word Gan on the boat..."

"Gan Ning?" Lu Meng and Gu Li were surprised at the same time.

Lu Meng resisted the pain in his left palm, turned over and stood up: "Order the whole army to gather immediately and prepare to face Gan Ning in Yangshui."

"Then Jiangling is about to be taken..." Gu Li hesitated to speak.

"Let Xiang Xun take a breather for a few days. Gan Ning only has a hundred warships. We swallow such a small force first, otherwise it would be inappropriate to let this man go ashore." Lu Meng was still worried about Gan Ning's hundred cavalry robbing the camp, and then continued to the guards He ordered: "Send more scouts to find out Gan Ning's whereabouts, and keep bringing me news."

"Wei." The guard cupped his fists and left.

It wasn't because the pain affected Lu Meng's judgment. It was because Jiangdong's siege warfare was not as good as water warfare, and it was when the troops and warships were superior.

Lu Meng didn't know why Jiang Qin put Gan Ning into Yangshui. He guessed that it was because Gan Ning was defeated in the battle of Hanshui, and now he was fleeing towards Jiangling with the remnant soldiers. He naturally wanted to seize this opportunity.

Gan Ning was very powerful on land, and Lu Meng did not have the guts to send him to Jiangling.

Yangshui is a man-made canal, which starts from Jiangling in the west and ends at Yangkou in the southeast of Jingling. This canal successfully connects the Yangtze River and the Han River, and is the main water channel between Xiangyang and Jiangling.

The excavation of the Yang Canal shortened the water distance between Xiangyang and Jiangling, avoided diverting from Jiangxia in the southeast, and saved several days of transportation time.

Lu Meng left Gu Li and [-] soldiers to guard the Jiangling camp, and he himself led the main force of Jiangdong to board ships to meet Gan Ning.

While Lu Meng was in a coma, Gu Li secretly investigated the cause of Han Dang's death, and finally found that Fu Shiren was to blame, so that Lu Meng's prestige was not affected.

Two hours later, Lu Meng took all of Jiangling's main force, more than ten thousand soldiers, and encountered Gan Ning's fleet on Yangshui.

Gan Ning defeated Jiang Qin at a great price. There were less than 4000 people left in Jingzhou's more than [-] navy troops. He left thousands of people and the transport team to pretend to be on the front line, and he rushed to help Jiangling with the remaining navy. , the front line will surely collapse.

At this time, Gan Ning was not as panicked as Zhan Jiangqin, because not long after he entered Yangshui, he encountered Gao Shun's scouts, and when he learned that Lantian had arrived at Dongting, the boulder fell from his chest in an instant. As long as Mr. can defeat Lu Xun, the remaining Jiangdong rats are probably over.

"I didn't expect the Jinfan thief to be in trouble. I think you are good at martial arts, why don't you just switch to Jiangdong, and I would like to help you bear all the grievances and grievances before."

Lu Meng stood proudly at the bow of the boat, recalling those "unforgettable" memories, he was actually a little bit sad at the moment, thinking that the Jinfan Bandit also has today?

Gan Ning caught a glimpse of Lü Meng's left hand wrapped in a white cloth, and asked meaningfully, "The governor's hand is injured? The city of Jiangling is not easy to climb, right? It's hard to say who will end up in poverty."

Lu Meng blushed when he heard this, and secretly put his left hand behind his back, and asked coldly: "Thief, you are still so arrogant when you are about to die. Jingzhou soldiers are as stubborn as you, but they are all ignorant of current affairs. Guan Yu is not dead yet. Bar?"

"General Guan, who is like a god, will naturally live well. Lu's hand is disabled, so he should think more about his own situation." Gan Ning teased loudly.

Gan Ning was born as a Jinfan bandit, and he is good at giving people nicknames. Using a physical disability as a title is insulting. Lu Meng was really furious when he heard this, and he cursed hysterically: "You are a scumbag, the governor kindly persuaded you to surrender, you But blindly looking for death, Yangshui is your burial place."

"I'm so scared." Gan Ning teased blankly.

"Bastard, shoot me random arrows." Lu Meng ordered angrily.

"Pick up the shield." Gan Ning responded calmly.

Water battles are different from land battles. They cannot be punched to the flesh quickly. They need to be suppressed with long-range weapons first, and finally board the enemy's ship and kill the general to capture the flag.

The number and force of Jiangdong warships are four times that of Gan Ning, but because Yangshui is manually excavated and the width is limited, only [-] warships can be deployed side by side, so the attack surface is relatively narrow, and the advantage of having more ships and more soldiers is become less obvious.

Lü Meng's warships had ample reserves of arrows. They set off from Jiangxia and had never experienced water battles, and they could not take advantage of upward shooting in siege battles. Jiangdong soldiers were finally able to shoot wantonly.

Arrows rained like locusts flying from west to east. Compared with the wealthy Jiangdong soldiers, Gan Ning's arrows were stretched. In desperation, he could only passively defend. He could only let the sailors keep the distance between the boats. His goal now is not to defeat Lu Meng, but to buy time for Lan Tian as much as possible.

Lu Meng saw that Gan Ning was suppressed by the arrow rain, so he ordered the battleship to advance forward. He wanted to quickly get rid of the tail, so he had to return to the Jiangling battlefield to continue the attack.

Gan Ning had already prepared to fight and leave, Lu Meng led the warship to bite the opponent, the two sides were stuck in the Yangshui, sometimes stopping the boat to shoot bows and arrows, sometimes chasing each other.

Gan Ning's behavior is like 'green tea', wanting to refuse but still welcoming, and always acting indifferent, which makes Lu Meng scratch his ears and heart.

The two sides fought for a long time, seeing the sky getting darker, Lu Meng wanted to retreat back to Jiangling, he just ordered the fleet to turn around, Gan Ning chased back like a 'licking dog', so they continued to fight until night fell.

At night, the sky was cloudy and foggy, and the land and water were dark. The fleets of both sides set aside a safe distance to rest, but the surveillance patrol boats stayed up all night. The two fleets continued to fight in the early morning of the next day. , Walked on the Yangshui for more than 200 miles for three days.

In order to hold Lu Meng back, Gan Ning used his warship as bait to keep his tail off. In three days, nearly half of his warship was damaged, but the closer he got to the Yangkou where the Han River meets, the more Lu Meng felt that something was wrong. Why? At this position, Jiang Qin still doesn't come?

Lv Meng had just captured a wounded prisoner of war, so he asked his followers to torture Gan Ning for his intentions.

It turned out that Jiang Qin's troops had been defeated by Gan Ning, and that cunning Lantian would have come out of Dongting to cut his back. After hearing this, Lü Meng was sweating all over his body, and the wound on his left palm was soaked in sweat. The pain caused Lv Meng to clench his teeth tightly. Tight.

The Jiangdong Fourth Army broke all the way in this way. Lu Meng doubted that Lu Xun might not be able to stop Lan Tian. He felt that he could not be led by the nose by Gan Ning.

The dying prisoner of war should not lie, Lu Meng made a decisive decision to go west overnight, Gan Ning got the news and wanted to pester him, but was stopped by the broken fleet left behind by the other party.

Chapter 576 We Are Not on the Boat Yet

After leaving twenty ships behind, Lu Meng ordered the warships to sail westward day and night, and arrived at the east of Jiangling at dusk the next day.
