The faces of Lu Zongzhi and his son changed drastically at the same time. Lu Zongzhi stood up, while Lu Gui rushed to the tent door, lifted the tent door, and said sternly to the scout who was kneeling on one knee outside the tent waiting for orders:
"How many people did he bring here? Are you sure it's him?"
The scout's voice was trembling slightly: "Liu, Liu came here alone from Jingzhou. Several of his guards were a hundred steps away. There, right in front of the camp gate, Qian, it was definitely him!"
Lu Zongzhi's voice sounded calmly from behind: "Thank you for your hard work, please step back."
After the scout turned and left, Lu Gui said in a deep voice to the dozen or so guards guarding the entrance of the tent: "You all stand down, I have something to discuss with my father."
He said, turned around and went back to the tent. When the footsteps outside the tent disappeared, Lu Gui's voice was full of excitement: "Dad, a great opportunity has come. Liu Daogui is really more arrogant than Liu Yu.
Just like this, a man has arrived. We take the opportunity to capture him and use him as a hostage. We can march directly to Jiangling and seize the entire Jingzhou."
Lu Zongzhi said angrily: "What's wrong with you? Before Liu Daogui came, he must have made adequate arrangements. Even if he was detained by us, Tan Zhi, Tan Daoji and others would take over the military and political matters, just like before we came out,
Just like letting your second brother stay in Yongzhou, how can it be possible for him to gain the entire Jingzhou just by himself?"
Lu Gui gritted his teeth: "Then kidnap him as a hostage and say that he will be sent back to Yongzhou to inspect military affairs, so that his army will not dare to attack us. Afterwards, we will tell him about Huan Qian's letter. Yes, yes.
He deliberately created a counter-intentional plan. We had no choice but to do this. Anyway, since he is in our hands, we can only believe our words!"
Lu Zong said with hatred: "Kidnapping the governor, any explanation you have is useless. This is a clear counter-action. Even if he pretends to accept it for a while, he will definitely raise an army to attack us when he returns. Ivory, you can't imagine it."
The best way is to just shut up. Liu Daogui is willing to ride alone to my camp to meet me. He must have the intention to win over him. He will wait until I go to see him before making a decision."
Lu Gui frowned: "Isn't this kid trying to imitate Liu Bang and want to enter my camp to seize my military talisman and directly control the entire army?"
Lu Zongzhi shook his head: "Liu Bang used this trick on Han Xin because Han Xin's soldiers were all assigned to him by Liu Bang, and he recognized the emperor rather than the generals. But our soldiers are all the children of Yongzhou hand-picked by me. He recognized me and did not recognize the emperor.
, after I leave the camp, you will restrain the troops, strictly guard the camp, and never allow any rash actions, do you understand?"
Lu Gui gritted his teeth: "I understand, I'll get ready right now!"
Lu Zongzhi said sternly: "You must carefully guard the guys sent by Sima Guofan to contact you, so as not to cause any trouble. If necessary, look at my gestures and kill these guys."
It would be nice to have an explanation if he is said to be a spy."
Lu Gui's face showed embarrassment: "This, this means breaking up with Hou Qin. Dad, are you really..."
Lu Zongzhi gritted his teeth: "Idiot, what time has it been? You still want to sit on the wall and wait and see? Huan Qian is finished. Most of us can only completely surrender to Liu Daogui. If we don't break with the Later Qin, we will break with the Jin. Do you understand?
"
Lu Gui sighed: "Okay, I will make arrangements and follow your gestures. Once you raise your hand to cut, I will kill a few of them here. On the contrary, if you want to take down Liu Daogui..."
Lu Zongzhi said coldly: "He came here alone. I want to capture him easily. You don't need to worry about it. I say it again, guard the camp, restrain the troops, and don't act rashly!"
As he spoke, he strode out of the tent. Lu Gui performed a military salute behind him, a complicated look flashed across his face, and he hesitated to speak.
Liu Daogui was riding a white horse, wearing a general's robe and large armor, with a relaxed expression. He was standing alone fifty steps away from the Yongzhou Army camp, within an arrow's reach. The camp gate opposite was closed, flags were flying behind the camp gate, and on the archery towers on both sides,
There were twice as many archers as usual, and behind the fence, there were a large number of Eredivisie warriors holding guns. They all rushed to stand behind the fence, stretching their necks and tiptoes, trying to catch a glimpse of the hall on the other side.
The state governor, the legendary Beifu general Liu Daogui's style.
"Is that Liu Jingzhou? I thought he would be stronger than Mr. Gui? But it seems that he is not much stronger than me."
"Brother Erniu, you can be regarded as a strong man in the army. Then Liu Jingzhou is stronger than you, so why is he not a strong man? Mr. Gui is so brave that no man can deserve it. How can you compare with him?"
"Um, isn't his eldest brother capable of fighting thousands of soldiers? I heard those veterans say that he is just like an immortal. The younger brother of an immortal should not be like an ordinary person after all. Oh, by the way, I heard that Marshal Lu was defeated by
As for Liu Jinu's men, I still haven't beaten four of them five."
"The fact that Liu Yu is powerful does not mean that his younger brother is as powerful as him. However, I heard that Liu Jingzhou was also a famous general in Beifu. Even Huan Xuan was defeated by him. Otherwise, he would not be the governor of Jingzhou."
"I see, it's just an exaggeration to say that a famous general is not a famous general. If he were really a famous general, he wouldn't be beaten like this by Tianshi Dao. Look, if he comes alone, does he have no soldiers under his command and needs to ask us for reinforcements?
?”
"Sangouzi is talking nonsense, don't you know that he just wiped out Huan Qian's tens of thousands of troops? Then how many soldiers and horses do you think he has? They are stronger than us, and now one person dares to come here.
That is truly great wisdom and courage. If it were me, I wouldn't dare to come anyway."
Lu Zongzhi's voice sounded coldly behind these people: "You are not on duty at your position, but you are here to stir up trouble. Do you want to be punished by military law?"
All the talking soldiers suddenly stopped talking and turned around to salute Lu Zongzhi. Lu Zongzhi looked around and said seriously: "You all listen up, I, Lu Zongzhi, am the governor of Yongzhou, but I am under the jurisdiction of the governor of Jingzhou.
Liu Jingzhou outside the camp is my direct superior. You must have a minimum of respect for him. If there is another person who can't control his tongue and talks nonsense all day long, which affects other people's view of us, even a hundred heads won't be enough to chop him off.
Yes, did you hear clearly?"
Everyone said in unison: "I will obey the commander-in-chief's order."
Lu Zongzhi nodded and whispered to a guard behind him: "Go up to the archery tower and do what I just said. Everything should be done according to my gestures."
The guard dismounted with a salute, took a bow, and climbed directly onto the archery tower on the side. Lu Zongzhi took a deep breath, waved his hand, and the camp door slowly opened. He rode out, and also rode alone towards the
