Chapter 55: Bad News
Hearing Chen Wu say that Liu Xun not only conquered Yuzhang County in such a short period of time, but also killed Taishi Ci. Lu Meng couldn't help but take a breath, and in anger, he spit out a mouthful of blood and said in anger: "Dog
Thief Liu Xun, I, Lu Meng, are at odds with you."
Lu Meng naturally knew that Tai Shi Ci was Sun Ce's number one general. Sun Ce spent a lot of effort to subdue this man, which shows that this man was not an ordinary person. Now, even such a pillar of talent has been killed by Liu Xun.
Moreover, it happened when I first took office, and I didn't know how to explain it to Sun Quan in the future.
In fact, how to explain is still a trivial matter. Lu Meng knew that the key now was that due to the continuous loss of troops and ground, the morale of the troops on the Moling front line was already unstable, which made it worse. Not to mention that the morale of ordinary soldiers was low, even soldiers like Ling Cao and Pan
A loyal general like Zhang also lacks confidence. Now all the confidence on his face has disappeared, replaced by a touch of sadness.
All this made Lu Meng feel so anxious that he wished he could immediately lead a large army and attack Lujiang to solve Sun Quan's worries.
The pressure in his heart and the days of hard work made Lu Meng's iron-clad body too much to bear, so after he was shocked to hear that Tai Shi Ci had been beheaded, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Captain..." Seeing Lu Meng's behavior, Chen Wu, Ling Cao, Pan Zhang and others were shocked, and they quickly stepped forward to support the shaky Lu Meng.
It can be said that Lü Meng is their backbone now. If anything happens to Lü Meng, they may not even have the confidence to save Moling City.
Lu Meng waved his hands and burst into tears. He bowed to the place where Kuaiji was with a painful look on his face. "My lord, I, Lu Meng, am ashamed of my trust in my lord. Taishi Ci was in danger, but I did not immediately send troops to rescue him. Now not only Yuzhang
Lost it, even Taishi Ziyi was beheaded, and a county was lost in just a few days. It was the incompetence of the last general that caused our army to lose troops and territory. The lord's great cause suffered such a blow. I, Lu Meng, am really the sinner of Jiangdong.
ah."
Seeing Lu Meng blaming himself so much, Chen Wu felt very uncomfortable and quickly advised him: "The Governor need not blame himself so much. Yuzhang County was lost because Liu Xun was too cunning, and General Ziyi was defeated too suddenly and too much."
If you go too quickly, even if the Governor wants to support you, there won't be enough time, so this matter has nothing to do with the Governor at all, it's just God's will."
Pan Zhang, Ling Cao and other generals saw Lu Meng's behavior and hurriedly tried to persuade him: "Captain, General Chen is right, this is not your fault at all. Although our army has been defeated one after another, as long as we defend Moling, Liu Xun
The army cannot advance a step forward. The lord is recruiting troops and horses in the rear. In time, the great glory of the past will be restored, and the great cause of Jiangdong will be as safe as a rock. In the future, we will use all the strength of the army to regain the lost territory, and the lord's great cause will be restored.
Even to a higher level. Thinking back then, the First Lord only had a thousand soldiers, but he was still able to sweep across Jiangdong. Now that our army owns the land of four counties, what should we fear?"
In fact, what Lu Meng wants now is this effect. No matter whether it is a black cat or a white cat, as long as it can rekindle the confidence of the generals, and only by raising morale can we hope to fight against Liu Xun's army to the end. Now that several people have stated that their goal has been achieved, Lu Meng
Feeling a little at peace in his heart, he solemnly bowed down and said: "Lü is not talented, so I entrust you with this important task because of your lord's trust. Naturally, I, Lü Meng, can't be ashamed of your trust in my lord, so I ask the generals to train their troops carefully until the opportunity comes."
Then he regained the lost territory in one fell swoop, captured Lujiang River, and took the head of Liu Xun's dog to pay tribute to the spirit of the late master."
When the generals saw that Lu Meng had cheered up again, they couldn't help but said with great joy: "If we all follow the leadership of the Governor, we will vow to revive Jiangdong's foundation."
...
Kuaiji County
Sun Quan can also be regarded as a hero of the generation. Although he inherited his eldest brother's inheritance at a young age, he is also a man of great talent and strategy, both civil and military, and good at recruiting talents. Although he is only nineteen years old and inherits the family business under extreme circumstances,
However, he had many outstanding civil and military figures under his command such as Lü Meng, Ling Cao, Zhang Zhao, Liu Zan, He Qi, Zhu Huan, Zhu Ran, Pan Zhang, Lu Su, etc. These people were appreciated by him and were willing to serve him to the death.
At this moment, news of the fall of Yuzhang County came quickly, and also heard that Taishi Ci was defeated and died. Lu Su couldn't help but look up to the sky and lamented that it had only been a few days since he had been the right governor, and such a bad situation had already occurred.
Sun Quan had only been in charge of Jiangdong for a few days. After all, no one expected that the heroic and victorious Sun Ce would be defeated so unexpectedly and suddenly, and this failure even cost him his own life. The inexperienced Sun Quan also rushed
The duck was on the shelves. Thinking of the current festering situation, Lu Su immediately came to meet with Sun Quan to discuss strategies to deal with the current situation.
A few days ago, Sun Quan almost fainted when he heard that his brother Sun Ce was killed. He didn't recover for a few days. Although he was a little calm now, he was just a teenager after all. Previously, Sun Quan had his eldest brother Sun Ce to rely on, and Sun Quan never recovered from it.
He had never been under any pressure. At the moment when the bad news came, it was like the sky was falling. Fortunately, he had the wisdom to know people and immediately handed over the normal government affairs to Zhang Zhao, and the military affairs to the newly promoted Lu Meng and Lu Su.
, after arranging things, he relaxed and spent time with his mother, Mrs. Wu, who was crying all day long.
Today, when he heard that Lu Su came to see him, he immediately dropped everything and went to meet him. When the guests and hosts were seated, Lu Su couldn't wait to say: "My lord, I wonder how you are now? Su Te came to visit." Lu Su will give
Sun Quan placed the carefully prepared gift in front of him and said respectfully.
"Hey, after a few days of training, there is no serious problem now. It's just that my mother needs to be with her, so I'd like to thank you for your trouble." Sun Quan sighed and said to Lu Su.
"Lord, where did you say this? Why are you so polite? Su has always been concerned in his heart, but he is busy with military affairs. Recently, Shanyue learned that the former lord passed away and took the opportunity to cause trouble and had no time to visit. I hope that lord will not blame him." Lu Su said to him.
Sun Quan bowed his head and expressed his apology.
It was said that Lu Su was anxious, but in fact Sun Quan was even more anxious than he was. After all, this is the Sun family's own inheritance. After pulling Lu Su for a while and chatting about useless household matters, he said seriously: "Zijing, you must also know Yuzhang.
News about the loss of the county? These days, I have been too grief-stricken to take care of political affairs. I was really shocked to hear such bad news today, and I have no intention of continuing to indulge in it. Zijing, please tell me what the current situation is like.
