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.
——"In a war, what's the point of physical attacks? Do we have to try this magic attack?"
…
…
Jiangling City, Official Medical Office.
It is rare that Diao Chan did not attend the consultation today...she stayed by her daughter Lingju's side.
"Isn't it good to be here? Is your mother not good to you? Do you have to go back to the Central Plains?"
Diao Chan grabbed Ling Ju's hand and looked reluctant to let go...
Lingju is leaving today, going back to Luoyang...
She could let Parrot's men complete some of the things Guan Lin told her, but there were other things that she had to do in person.
"Mom, my daughter has told me a hundred times that Mr. Yun Qi asked me to do a very small thing... My daughter will come back after making arrangements. Don't worry, mom... Nothing will happen!"
Looking at his mother's concerned eyes, Lingju kept comforting him, "Besides, in the past ten years...hasn't my daughter still come to Luoyang? The parrot...is far more powerful than mother thought?"
"As soon as I heard that you returned to Parrot and continued your assassination business, mother...just..." Diao Chan pursed her lips, her expression revealing deep worry.
"My daughter won't kill anyone this time." Lingju smiled, "In the past, people killed people because they wanted to make money and maintain the operation of the entire parrot, but now... all the money comes from Mr. Yun Qi. The parrot is very rich and there is no need for more money.
Murder to make money... However, my daughter thinks that she can unite those who have... experienced the massacre by Cao's thieves to further strengthen Parrot and become Master Yunqi's support in the Central Plains, and..."
At the end, Lingju stopped talking.
What she actually wanted to say was that she planned to go to Yanzhou, to the Langya Kingdom, to meet Zang Ba, the leader of the Langya Kingdom, who held tens of thousands of Taishan troops. You must know that many of these Taishan troops were still part of her father's former tribe.
...is a Bingzhou warrior who is loyal to his father.
Lingju had a plan to try to persuade the uncle who had helped him since childhood.
But when these words came to his lips, Lingju still swallowed them all... It was better not to let his mother know too much, so as not to worry.
"what else?"
Sure enough, Diao Chan asked curiously.
Seeing that her daughter didn't answer, Diao Chan pursed her lips and said, "What does Mr. Yunqi want you to do? My mother asked you several times and you didn't tell me. Now...can't you even tell me? The more you don't tell me, the more worried my mother will be."
you?"
"There's nothing to worry about..." Lingju squeezed out a refreshing smile, "It's really very simple, a very simple thing... To my daughter, this is a piece of cake..."
Speaking of which.
A female voice came from outside the door: "Miss, if you don't set off, you will miss the time..."
The female killer of parrots...
You know, it is not easy to go north in Jiangling today. There are many checkpoints in the middle. Of course... if you are a merchant, you will use money to clear these checkpoints.
After all, Cao Wei's soldiers only wanted to eat food. Such a bag of money for traveling was placed in front of him. The money was cold, but it was warm in his arms.
And Lingju wants to go north, so naturally he needs to do this...
The time and place we will pass are all planned and agreed upon in advance.
Otherwise, the parrot maid outside the door would not remind you at this time.
"Okay... mother... my daughter won't talk to you anymore. You must take care and don't tire yourself out in the medical department." Ling Ju finally left Diao Chan with a smile, "Don't worry, at most half a year, if not, two or three
The moon will come back... Daughters will also miss their mothers, won't they?"
While talking, Lingju took the package and went out...
Diao Chan stretched out her hand and wanted to say something, but finally put her hand back.
She could feel that this time, she couldn't persuade her daughter.
As for the reason…
Maybe it's because of "avenging my father", or maybe it's because of "Master Yunqi"?
certainly…
Compared to the former... Diao Chan hopes that her daughter is born because of the latter, at least this way... it will be safer.
Lingju, on the other hand, when she walked out of the official medical office, she stared deeply in the direction of the thief Cao Yu's family. She knew that was where Guan Lin's office was, but... today it was impossible to see each other again before parting.
Already.
For a moment, Lingju murmured in his heart:
——"Master Yunqi, I don't know when we will meet next time?"
With this in mind, she turned back to the official medical office, and the murmur in her heart resurfaced again.
——"At least, if Parrot and I... accomplish many feats, even if we can't kill the thief Cao, it will make my mother's life more comfortable and leisurely, right?"
"Miss, it's getting late." The maid's voice came out again.
"Let's go!" Lingju got on his horse.
At this moment, she recalled something Guan Lin once mentioned to her casually.
——Women can also win over men!
…
…
Jiaozhou, Lu Jiajun military camp.
The strong winds swayed the fire, constantly spitting out flames. The flames gathered into a fire dragon and became more and more intense. In the end, even the "wooden tower" built by the Lu family army was burning.
The fire burned for two days and two nights, and the ashes after the flames burned down fell like rain. This ashes formed a thin layer, covering the ruins of the entire Lu Jiajun military camp.
There were broken walls and ruins everywhere, there were burnt war horses everywhere, and there were even a few Lu soldiers who had no time to escape or were unwilling to leave the military stronghold.
Most of them died peacefully, suffocating from inhaling too much smoke...
Another day passed, and after the smell in the air had been blown away by the wind, the Jiaozhou soldiers surrounding the place began to take stock.
They pretended to dig pits and threw burnt tree stumps, weapons, and horses into the pits one after another.
And they shouted in unison.
"five hundred--"
"one thousand--"
"One thousand and five——"
It was like counting the number of people killed by the Lu family army.
Because Jiaozhou soldiers blocked the perimeter, the men in black sent by Lu Meng could not get close and could not see with their own eyes the tragic death of Lu Jiajun.
Just hearing the words of the Jiaozhou soldiers was deafening, as if they were shouting when their hatred was vented from the depths.
Expectedly... Lu Jiajun's ending must be tragic.
Jia Hua finally issued an order: "Just recently, dozens of our brothers have died under this poisonous smoke. Now, there is no need to stay here any longer. Let's go... You go back and report to General Lu, and I will go to
Marquis Wu congratulates you!"
With waves of low cheers and cheers, these men in black finally went back with great satisfaction.
Shi Hui stood outside the Lu Jiajun military camp, where he personally led the troops to perform.
Suddenly, a scout quickly came to his side: "Report to the Major General, the enemy's eyes have been removed. There are more than a thousand people, all of whom are crossbowmen!"
Shi Hui nodded, and immediately turned his gaze to Ju Lin, "Report this news to Ju Lin immediately."
The scout understood and quickly rode away.
…
When the scouts arrived at the Orange Grove, Sun Ru also drove his horse to the entrance of the simple military camp here.
If Sun Ru hadn't revealed her identity and brought Guan Lin's token, she would have probably thought that... her husband and Lu Jiajun were all gone.
The journey from Jiangling to Jiaozhou is much longer than traveling along the Xiangjiang River from Changsha...
After a long journey, Sun Ru's hair was disheveled, her clothes were shabby, and she was shaky due to cold and exhaustion...
Because of the previous stabbing in the back, the Lu family sergeant guarding the gate became extremely sensitive. When he saw a woman riding a horse, he immediately shouted: "Who are you? Get off your horse and check!"
Sun Ru said weakly, "I am...who I am, can't you recognize me?"
She used her last strength to tie up her messy hair, and when the time came, her heroic appearance suddenly appeared.
"It's madam..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Sun Ru slid down from the horse. A soldier hurriedly supported her and said to his comrades: "Quick... report to General Lu!"
…
It has been three days since the Lu Jiajun military camp was burned down...
But this orange forest, where a large number of "surviving" Lu family soldiers gathered, was still shrouded in an "angry" atmosphere.
The confusion and helplessness... have gradually dissipated.
Replaced by deep anger and hatred!
This atmosphere envelopes this place...
When Lu Xun learned that Sun Ru had arrived, he took Lu Yan and Han Xuan... and strode out immediately. He looked more mature, experienced, and restrained than when Sun Ru left.
The soldiers came to support the weak and staggering Sun Ru. Lu Xun was shocked when he saw her weak state. He jumped out of the crowd without caring, rushed forward to help Sun Ru, and said eagerly: "Madam? You
…How could you do this?”
Sun Ru didn't care to answer, she immediately followed what Guan Lin taught her and said:
"Bo Yan, if Sun Quan is unkind, you should be unjust as well. Don't...don't be foolish and loyal anymore——"
Lu Xun frowned, "Don't I know that I shouldn't be in Yuzhong? If I weren't worried about the Lu family's family members, especially in Wu County, I...I..."
He looked like he was about to raise his troops and march north.
But...he can't!
The lives of so many Lu family members, nearly 100,000, made him take action against the rat.
Sun Ru continued: "Master Yunqi guessed that Boyan would be in such a difficult situation, he...he had a way!"
"What can I do?" Lu Xun's eyes narrowed deeply, filled with loneliness and the helplessness of being bullied by a dog.
Guan Lin's guess was good.
After a person has been deeply hurt once, it will be difficult to trust other people.
"Haha..." Lu Xun said with a bitter smile: "The way is to make me, Lu Xun, like a dog...wag my tail to Guan Lin and beg for mercy? If so, madam, there is no need to say anything more..."
"No..." Sun Ru waved her hand quickly, "You have misunderstood Mr. Yunqi. Mr. Yunqi... he wants my husband to counterattack Cangwu, to counterattack Nanhai... to take back the two counties of Jiaozhou! To severely injure Lu Meng who was stabbed in the back!
"
"What..." Lu Xun didn't need to open his mouth this time, Lu Yan exclaimed: "Then Guan Yunqi is crazy, is Mother also crazy? Now...there are one hundred thousand Lu Jiajun's family members being held in Wu County, and Wu Hou's
In his hands, if...if my father counterattacks Cangwu and Nanhai, then...then...won't these people be slaughtered by Sun Quan?"
"No." Sun Ru's tone was extremely firm, "Sun Quan is fighting a decisive battle with Cao Cao in Hefei... His rear is empty. At this time, he... he doesn't dare to do anything to the Lu family's family members. At this time, Uncle
This is the only chance to coerce him, besides... besides..."
"Besides what?" Lu Xun asked anxiously.
"Besides." Sun Ru replied weakly: "Besides, Mr. Yunqi told me that if you fight with Sun Quan... you must be more ruthless than him! Boyan should let it out. If he dares to kill the members of the Lu family, then... then
My husband goes north to continue attacking cities, conquering one and slaughtering another! Until the whole of Soochow is completely reduced to a Shura field! If Boyan can be so ruthless, then Sun Quan can be more ruthless... can he be more ruthless than my husband——"
With the last words spoken, Guan Lin had said everything he wanted Sun Ru to bring.
She finally completed her important task, and it was also the important task that was most likely to save her husband and the entire Lu family.
at once…
Sun Ru seemed to be relieved. She could no longer resist the feeling of powerlessness that spread throughout her body. His vision went dark and he fainted in Lu Xun's arms.
Lu Yan shouted: "Mother...mother..."
This was the first time that he had such respect for his stepmother, calling out "Mother" so sincerely and truly!
Lu Xun took a deep breath.
"Send your mother to rest in the house, and let Jiaozhou...let Jiaozhou send some doctors!"
Lu Yan quickly carried Sun Ru on his back and walked towards the tent.
Lu Xun was stunned on the spot. Sun Ru's words made him...he was stunned for a moment, and he had to carefully recall the profound meaning of Guan Lin's words!
The more he thought about it, the more Lu Xun realized that this might... really be the only chance of survival for his Lu family!
——"Counterattack Cangwu County? Nanhai County?"
——"Fight unkindness with unkindness, backstab with backstab, fight violence with violence?"
