Chapter 270: Treat unkindness with unkindness, or fight violence with violence?

Just like Cao Wei attacked Ruxukou from the south, Dongwu attacked Hefei from the north.

If we attack Nanyang from Jiangxia, Suixian will not be bypassed.

To attack Jiangxia from Nanyang, they walked from Duansheqiu to Suixian County, and then went down the river via Jianshui, a tributary of the Yangtze River, and attacked Anlu City.

——This military fortress is located at the intersection of Tongbai Mountain, the hills of the Dahong Mountains and the Jianghan Plain!

Because it is "located to the left of Xiangyang, with Jianghan on the right, and the upper reaches of Jiangxia, surrounded by mountains and rivers", throughout the five thousand years of China, this place has always been an important military location.

The area north of Jiangxia occupied by Cao Cao was based on "Anlu".

It snowed yesterday in "Anlu City". When Guan Lin rushed to the government office here, the snow had not yet melted, and sparrows fell down to eat. Guan Lin sat on the porch and watched with interest.

While reading it, I can't help but have daydreams about it.

What Guan Lin thought of was that the battlefield in Anlu City would be regarded as Hubei's "great sense of filial piety" in future generations...

People say - the four monsters of Xiaogan!

The name comes from the "weirdness", the jurisdiction area is getting smaller and smaller, the Xiaogan three treasures "paste, salt, and phosphorus" are also "weird", and the last one is strange because it is close to Tianhe Airport in later generations.

certainly…

Guan Lin was thinking about the four monsters of Xiaogan, but a strange thing had already happened to him.

At this moment, Zhuge Ke, the chief historian of Jiangxia, Liao Hua, the captain of Jiangxia, and Lu Su, the chief governor of Soochow, were also sitting on the corridor, watching the ice and snow melt while waiting for Guan Lin.

Since they appeared, Guan Lin could no longer think about the "four monsters". All his eyes were focused on a letter.

This is a letter from Wei general Zhu Ling to surrender...

Every word in it... was written by Zhu Ling himself.

From the time when Yu Jin took away his military power, to the recent time when he was beaten with a hundred and twenty sticks by Yu Jin because of his kind reminder, and was demoted to the chief of logistics department, he narrated the story here.

——Talking the truth!

Guan Lin read it, and as he read it, he sympathized with Zhu Ling's experience, and wished he could denounce it together with him.

On the way to Anlu City, in the carriage, Guan Lin was still thinking about whether he could use the ban to make a fuss about his feud with General Zhu Ling, but now it's okay... there is no fuss at all, Zhu Ling has already taken the initiative to surrender.

Finally, Guan Lin finished reading the bamboo slip and looked around at the three people in front of him.

"What do you think?"

Lu Su had some ideas in mind.

But he is the only guest here, and he cannot overshadow the guest in this kind of thing.

Liao Hua and Zhuge Ke looked at each other and said first: "I was a little suspicious at first, so I sent a detective horse to check. I don't know if I don't check. That Yu Jin did punish Zhu Ling severely, with a hundred and twenty military sticks, and beatings."

His skin and flesh were so torn that Zhu Ling still couldn't get out of bed... Indeed, as stated in his letter asking for surrender, he was sent to the Hengshan military camp to be in charge of logistics and supplies. From this point of view, he had indeed suffered a great deal.

grievance."

"In addition, there is another piece of information sent with this bamboo slip, which is the time and route of the Imperial Army's food transportation. It did not transport food from Suizhou, but detoured to 'Guangshui County', making a detour

This was a good opportunity to transport grain and grass in the circle, but Mr. Yunqi didn't come. I didn't dare to make any arbitrary decisions. I just sent a detective horse to investigate, and it was really like this... and there was no ambush in the entire grain road. If it had been deployed in advance,

If you go and plunder, you will gain a lot!"

Liao Hua spoke his words eloquently.

As his words fell, Zhuge Ke added: "General Liao Hua is concerned about intelligence, and I am concerned about Zhu Ling himself. I once heard my uncle mention that this Zhu Ling is from Qinghe country in Jizhou, and many people know him.

He was originally a deputy general of Yuan Shao, but was later sent to support Cao Cao in his attack on Xuzhou. In the end, he never returned..."

"But I found out that when Zhu Ling was a general under Yuan Shao, Ji Yong from Qinghe betrayed Yuan Shao with the city of Quan and surrendered to Gongsun Zan. Yuan Shao sent Zhu Ling to attack, and Gongsun Zan tied Zhu Ling's mother and younger brother to the city.

This was used to lure Zhu Ling to surrender, but Zhu Ling was not coerced. He just cried and shouted, "How can a man take care of his family when he is born to serve others?" So he fought hard to capture Ji Yong and captured Ji Yong alive, but his family

They all died unexpectedly."

Having said this, Zhuge Ke paused for a moment, "In addition, as a general under Yuan Shao, he refused to listen to his lord's summons and took refuge with Cao Cao again. What else did he say, 'I know many people, but no one can do things like Duke Cao.' This is really

Ming Zhu! Now that you have met the real Ming Zhu, who should you turn to? 'Haha..."

When he said this, Zhuge Ke smiled, "I have never seen a general who can speak of 'betrayal' in such a fresh and refined way. It can be seen that this Zhu Ling is a two-faced, unfaithful and unfilial person. In addition,

Yu Jin once took away his military power, and he and Yu Jin have never been at odds with each other. It is reasonable for him to be wronged and join us. In this case, I am sure...this person must be sincere in surrendering!"

Liao Hua's words and Zhuge Ke's words were stated in detail, especially Zhuge Ke's analysis was clear and logical.

All these made Guan Lin nodded slightly.

"Do you have any advice from Governor Lu?" Guan Lin turned his attention to Lu Su.

"This..." Lu Su hesitated, then smiled faintly and said: "What I want to say has been said by General Liao and Yuan Xun. As for additional words, Lu thinks...the reason why there are so few generals in Cao Wei

The defectors are because their families are being detained in the Central Plains and the North!"

"This makes those generals on both sides of the aisle, even if they have the intention of defecting, will eventually surrender... However, according to Yuan Xun's words, this Zhu Ling is a special case. His family has been killed by Gongsun Zan, even if he is

Returning to Yunqi, I really don’t have any worries!”

Lu Su blurted out his words.

Guan Lin nodded gently again.

Come on, the three people agreed, Zhu Ling really surrendered!

Guan Lin, on the other hand, held his chin and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

In fact, among the information sent back by Li Miao, there was also an extremely crucial piece of information about Zhu Ling.

The question came from Cao Zhi's mouth. Zhu Ling, like Liu Zhen, was a victim of the fight between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi's son, and he supported Cao Pi.

As a result, Liu Zhen was punished for looking down on Concubine Zhen, while Zhu Ling was directly stripped of his military power by Yu Jin because of "unfounded" charges...

In fact, this is the expansion and continuation of the struggle between the prince and his son.

If you look at it from this perspective...

It seems... Zhu Ling's surrender is very real!

——It’s so true!

"We might as well give him a try..." Guan Lin chirped and asked, "Is his envoy still there?"

"The envoy is his son, his name is Zhu Shu!" Zhuge Ke quickly replied. "He was also in Cao Wei and held the official position of Cavalry Commander! Now that Zhu Ling has been deposed as the chief of logistics, his son can only be responsible for supervising

Transporting food and grass, so I had the opportunity to sneak into Anlu City quietly."

"Zhu Shu? Qi Duwei... supervises the transportation of grain and grass?" Guan Lin nodded slightly, and then ordered: "Didn't he tell us an accurate grain transportation route in Yuban when the letter was sent before? Let him do it again.

Tell Yi Yiyi that we can send a wave of soldiers to try to rob him and test his authenticity."

"That's very good." Lu Su said while stroking his beard: "It's a mule or a horse. You can tell if it's a mule or a horse. You can tell whether it's true or false. You can tell whether it's good or bad."

In this way, the first military meeting in Anlu City ended calmly.

However, when Liao Hua and Lu Su returned, Zhuge Ke stayed behind and followed Guan Lin.

"Is something wrong with Yuan Xun?"

"It's a big deal!" Zhuge Ke said solemnly with a heavy expression and a flat tone: "Because of the 'Conquest Order' issued by Cao Wei, more than 9,000 Jiangxia soldiers were excited and sharpened their swords. They only came to Jiangxia for five days.

The various ministries have requested war seven times. I am worried that if we prevent them from sending troops again and again, it will be counterproductive... or even suppress them under the huge hatred, which will cause a mutiny."

oh…

Guan Lin finally understood.

It turns out that the fighting spirit is too high...

This should have been a good thing, but due to repeated suppression, it turned into a bad thing.

Guan Lin pondered for a moment and then said softly: "Then, let's give him a beating."

"Ah..." Zhuge Ke was startled. He didn't think he couldn't fight, but he felt... Master Yunqi's agreement was a bit casual, right?

It was decided so hastily.

Guan Lin, on the other hand, raised his head slightly and looked towards the sky.

"The weather in Jiangxia is quite interesting. It snowed yesterday, but today the sun is shining brightly..."

After saying this, Guan Lin sighed in his heart:

——"The weather in the Little Ice Age was really weird!"

Of course, if we compare it to the weather in Hubei in future generations.

The temperature in Hubei is felt by the body. In winter, it is cloudy with a little rain or snow. If a gust of wind blows, it will be like someone stabbing you with a small ice pick...

Hubei, especially Wuhan, is famous for its magical attacks.

But this... gave Guan Lin some inspiration.
