Chapter 847 Persecution
Chapter 847 Forced
"Oh, the general has misunderstood me. I am here to relieve the siege of Xiling, and secondly, to meet with the general to discuss the fight against Qin." Zhong Hui squinted his eyes and smiled.
The envoy cupped his hands and said: "The people of Qin are powerful. If the two families are at war with each other, they will be taken advantage of by the people of Qin, and the foundation of Jiangdong will be wasted. I hope the prime minister will put the overall situation first."
"What your Excellency said is true. I have admired the General for a long time. I have no other intention in coming here. I hope to tell the General." Zhong Hui's face turned into a flower with a smile.
The feeling of forcing Lu Kang to be in a hurry was really addicting to him.
The envoy looked at Zhong Hui's expression carefully. It was unexpected that he was so talkative. He was so unlike Zhong Hui at ordinary times. "My subordinates are resigning."
Zhong Hui smiled and sent him out of the tent, watching him get on the boat.
"Prime Minister, if you push the general too far, I'm afraid he will surrender to Qin!" Jiang Bin whispered from behind.
"If we surrendered to Qin, why did we wait until now? Everyone in Jiangdong can surrender, but Lu Kang will not surrender to Qin!" Zhong Hui was very sure.
"The Lu family is the largest clan in Jiangdong. Lu Kai has been an official to the Grand Sima, Lu Kang has been an official to the General, and more than ten of the Lu family's children have served as officials and generals. If they surrender to Qin, can they continue to be the Grand Sima and General?" Shen Ying is better than Jiang. Bin can see more clearly.
"Gan Ning is luxurious, Lu Kai is rich and prosperous. The Lu family is noble and wealthy, Lu Kang will be burdened by his family, and will never surrender to Qin! So we might as well take another step forward!" Zhong Hui said with a smile.
"Today, a secret report came back. The Xiangyang envoy had contact with the general. If the two parties are colluding..." Jiang Bin cupped his hands and said.
Lu Kang was not an empty city; Lexiang had gathered at least 50,000 capable soldiers.
"Report, the general sent an envoy to ask the prime minister to come to Lexiang quickly to make a report." The soldiers came to report.
However, it is only a distinction between superiority and inferiority, not life and death, and Zhong Hui knows the difference.
"The Prime Minister has an order, go to the police!"
Lu Kang said exactly what he said in Jingzhou. Although the generals were doubtful, they still faithfully carried out the plan.
At that time, everyone called him Zifan, and the meaning of Hua Yuan reappeared today.
I used to cry and clamor to go to Lexiang, but now people take the initiative to invite...
Zhang Xian's eyes flashed, "Yang Hu's envoy is still in Lexiang, the general might as well..."
There is no way, the opponent is Lu Kang.
But now that Lu Kang's gate is open, Zhong Hui is a little scared...
Therefore, in the eyes of the Jingzhou generals, it was normal for Lu Kang to surrender to Yang Hu, and it would also ensure their interests in Qin.
The Wu army in Jingzhou had just fought a battle with the Qin army and had not recovered yet. They had to face Zhong Hui's 150,000 troops again.
"General!" The generals have followed Lu Kang for many years and regard him as a father and brother.
Lu Kang independently supported half of the Wu state, was exhausted mentally and physically, and often fell ill. Yang Hu sent decoctions, but his subordinates advised him not to drink them. Lu Kang didn't care, "How can you be a poisoner?"
Zhong Hui is born with a three-part fear mentality.
The generals were stunned for a moment and opened the city gate. Wouldn't they just be captured without mercy?
"The general must be bluffing!" Shen Ying reminded Zhong Hui.
"Since he doesn't come to see me, I will go see him and send an order to the whole army to march towards Lexiang!"
This sentence immediately resonated with the other generals, and they all looked at Lu Kang with some expectation.
Zhong Hui's army hadn't arrived yet, but the sentinel boat from the front team arrived. On the river, gongs and drums rose to the sky. The soldiers and civilians shouted along the river, which frightened the sentinel boat and turned around and ran away.
As long as Lu Kang lowers his head, Zhong Hui can take the next step.
Lexiang.
The real elite only has 30,000 to 40,000 troops.
Lu Kang, plus Yang Hu and Luo Xian, have a strength of 112,000, and they are all strong troops capable of fighting tough battles.
If the name is not right, then the words will not go smoothly. There are many powerful people in Jiangdong, and the name of a prime minister is not enough to command them.
If the gates of Lu Kang were tightly closed and guarded to the death, Zhong Hui would definitely march to the city without hesitation, and then call the gate with Sun Jin, Lord of Wu, on his back.
"It's tolerable, but what can't be tolerated! Zhong Hui goes too far to bully others, and at worst the fish will die and the net will be broken!" Zuo Yi said angrily.
Otherwise, a general with a mighty army would not need to say so much. As for something unexpected happening to Jianye, Zhong Hui curled up into a sneer. With the emperor in his hands, what unexpected things could happen to Jianye?
He even expected Lu Kai to take action. In that case, he would have enough reason to cleanse Jiangdong of the uncooperative powerful forces.
Lexiang was attacked by Luo Xian, the navy was captured, and the warship was hijacked. This was when Lu Kang was at his weakest. How could Zhong Hui give up such a good opportunity?
Lu Kang's threat was seen as a sign of weakness in Zhong Hui's eyes.
The generals in Jingzhou were stunned.
Yanghu has been in Xiangyang for many years, and he has shown sincerity to the virtues of the state of Wu, and all the people in Jianghan and Han Dynasty have returned to him.
Obviously, Zhong Hui's strength is not in using troops, but in conspiracy, so he often does more than others think.
Tao Huang defeated Guo Ma with three strikes, five eliminations, and two, and Jiangdong's powerful forces were once again intimidated. Now that the Qin people have retreated, they need to compete.
In history, Zhong Hui caused rebellion in Shu and imprisoned Wei generals. Jiang Wei suggested killing them all. Zhong Hui was also so hesitant that Wei Guan took advantage of him and his success failed.
Above the river, the command flag was waving, and countless people began to get busy again.
Yang Hu and Lu Kang also have a good personal relationship.
Although the Qin people retreated now, Lu Kang suffered a big loss.
Lu Kang Lane was so lively that Zhong Hui became suspicious.
This is to force Lu Kang to submit, not to engage in a real invasion. If Lu Kang falls, who can hold Jingzhou?
On the other hand, the combat strength of the 150,000 troops in Zhong Hui's hands has always been a mystery.
"Oh, General, this is a problem for me." Zhong Hui also hesitated.
You can also use Lu Kai as a bargaining chip to force Lu Kang to submit.
As soon as the messenger stepped back, before he could take a breath, the scout rushed over to report, "General, the Prime Minister has mobilized all the waterway troops and is heading straight for Lexiang!"
Moreover, Zhong Hui still holds the emperor in his hand...
The soldiers were resting and the city gate was wide open.
Both of them became famous for a while.
The only person standing in front of Zhong Hui was Lu Kang.
"Even if the general colludes with the Qin army, it is beyond his reach. Our army will fight quickly and rush in. Jingzhou can be defeated!" Shen Ying cupped her hands and said.
The atmosphere suddenly became weird.
The opponents are still Lu Kang, Yang Hu, Luo Xian, Beimian Zhou Zhi, and Du Yu are eyeing him, so Zhong Hui has to be more cautious.
However, they were not Lu Kang. "Zhong Hui just forced me to submit. There is no need to make a fuss. He sent an order to open the city gate and let the soldiers rest separately."
Although Lu Kang had only met Zhong Hui once, he knew his character well and ordered his soldiers to set up flags, barriers, gongs and drums thirty miles along the river, and a fleet of boats to receive him on the river.
"Needless to say, doesn't Zhong Hui want to see me? Then let's be honest! We still don't know who will win."
Zhong Hui shook his head, "It's a fool's errand to show off one's actions. The general and I are celebrities. We should have the demeanor of celebrities. How can we act like a fool and bleed within five steps?"
Shen Ying was stunned. Zhong would normally be decisive, ruthless and sinister, but at the critical moment, he turned out to be so confused.
"So what does the Prime Minister think should be done now?" Or Jiang Bin knows Zhong Hui's temper better.
Zhong Hui stood on the side of the boat with his hands folded, looking at the river to the west, and said confidently: "Lu Youjie is not a person who does not know the importance of things. He first stationed the police force, so he has his own good strategy."
