Lu Mengjun put up a posture, with a livid face, and looked fiercely at the "unknown young general" Cao Bin on the tower.
Thinking about how high-spirited I was at the time, I thought I would leave a good story, but in the end, I made a big joke. I couldn't help but feel angry and angry, and thought to myself angrily: "I, Lu Mengjun, will not be a human being until I cut you into pieces."
.”
I started talking about this ten days ago.
Ten days ago, Lu Mengjun could be said to be a winner in life, full of high spirits.
Since the Zhou Dynasty invaded Huainan, the Zhou army has been almost invincible, allowing the Southern Tang army, which has been sparse for a long time, to see what an elite division of the Central Plains is.
From November last year to May now, for half a year, the Jiangnan heroes who dominate the south and claim to be descendants of Li Tang have found it hard to win.
The troops of the Southern Tang Dynasty beat Zhou soldiers like rats, and the generals were almost as afraid of Zhou as tigers, and their expressions changed when they talked about Zhou.
Especially Luo Youdu and Zhao Kuangyin became the nightmare of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
But all this has nothing to do with Lu Mengjun.
Compared with others who rarely win a single victory, Lu Mengjun's more than 10,000 soldiers and horses achieved three victories in three battles. The soldiers in his hands can be said to be a victorious force.
Of course, it was not Da Zhou who was fighting, but Wu Yue in the south of the Yangtze River.
There is a common rule in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms: No matter how chaotic the world is, the one who conquers the Central Plains will be respected.
Except for the Southern Tang and the former Meng and Shu, those who had already proclaimed themselves emperors despised the Central Plains. Most of the surrounding separatist forces would accept the canonization of the Central Plains and listen to the orders of the Central Plains.
Of course, many of the so-called surrenders are superficial and duplicitous. Anyway, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Give the Central Plains a face, and then continue to be your own local emperor.
But the Qian family of Wuyue did an excellent job in this regard. They occupied the land of Wuyue, but they always kept this rule. They respected the Later Liang, the Later Tang, the Later Jin, the Later Han, the Later Zhou and the future Northern Song Dynasty as Zhengshuo and accepted it.
Its canonization.
The key is that they are not submissive but actually willing to listen to orders from the Central Plains.
In particular, the founding monarch Qian Liu was a well-deserved benevolent monarch.
Not only did he not proclaim himself emperor, but he also opposed powerful vassals proclaiming themselves emperor. He earnestly taught his descendants to abide by the integrity of their ministers. No matter who became the emperor in the Central Plains Dynasty, the descendants of the Qian family must regard the Central Plains Dynasty as Zhengshuo from generation to generation. At the same time, he also emphasized that
Your descendants must be virtuous and aware of current affairs. If a true dragon emperor appears in the Central Plains, they must not be greedy for power and surrender as soon as possible.
Therefore, the incident of accepting soil and returning to the Song Dynasty also occurred in history.
Qian Hongchu, King of Wuyue, followed the instructions of his ancestors and dedicated all of his 13 states, an army, 86 counties, 556,800 households, and 115,16 soldiers to the Song Dynasty.
It tells a historical story about the overall situation and the unification of China.
This is also the reason why in "Hundred Family Surnames" Zhao Qian and Sun Li are ranked first as a royal family, but Qian is not a common surname but ranks second.
After Qian Hongchu received Guo Rong's order to jointly send troops to the Southern Tang Dynasty, he immediately stationed troops on the border between Wuyue Kingdom and the Southern Tang Dynasty, dispatched Bao Xiurang, the governor of Quzhou, and Luo Sheng, the commander of Zhongzhidu, to attack Changzhou.
After Li Jing learned about it, he appointed Chai Kehong as General Youwuwei, and rushed to Changzhou with Lu Mengjun, the governor of Yuanzhou, to support the local Southern Tang army.
Chai Kehong designed a surprise attack on the Wu Yue army, but Lu Mengjun led his troops to fight bravely in three battles with Wu Yue, defeating the Wu Yue army, beheading tens of thousands of people, and capturing more than 30 Wu Yue generals.
Wu Yue was stunned in one breath.
How could the Southern Tang Dynasty, which was hung up and beaten by Da Zhou, be so strong?
This battle greatly boosted the morale of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
After half a year, Li Jing finally received the news of victory and was so excited that he almost cried. He immediately ordered Lu Mengjun to lead his army to join forces with Qi King Li Jingda and personally receive Chai Kehong in the court.
When Lu Mengjun and Li Jingda joined forces, they happened to encounter a military meeting in the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Because Lu Mengjun was a victorious general, he was treated grandly by Li Jingda.
He stopped the military meeting, invited Lu Mengjun to the military tent, and specially introduced many generals to him.
Zhu Yuan, Bian Hao, Xu Wenzhen, Lin Renzhao, Chen Decheng and the like were either defeated generals of the Northern Thieves or unknown people. I couldn't help but secretly thought: "They are all like this, no wonder they will be defeated again and again."
.”
The winner has the pride of the winner!
The military meeting continues.
We were talking about recovering Hezhou and Luzhou.
Li Jingda said: "Luzhou can be ignored for the time being, but Hezhou's troops are pointed directly at Jinling, so we must take it."
Lu Mengjun inquired about the situation and learned that Luo Youdu, known as Little Zhuge, had led his troops to attack Shuzhou. Hezhou had only 2,000 soldiers and the guarding general was an unknown general. Luzhou's troops were unknown, but they could not exceed 2,000.
Lu Mengjun immediately became energetic. Isn't this a feat that came to his door?
So he applied to lead his troops to regain Hezhou and Luzhou.
Li Jingda immediately approved his request and said: "Before General Lu arrived, I had arranged for Zhu Doujian to rescue Shuzhou. Zhu Lingyun, the defense envoy of Shuzhou, is our general. With his ability, plus Zhu Doujian's
Reinforcements can ensure that Shuzhou is not lost. With Luo Youdu's wisdom, he will not waste time in Shuzhou and sit back and watch Hezhou fall and Luzhou fall. Once it is found that Shuzhou cannot be conquered for a long time, he will return to support Hezhou."
Lu Mengjun immediately issued a military order and said: "The last general will definitely capture Hezhou. If Luo Youdu dares to support him, he is willing to defeat it for the king."
With great pride, Lu Mengjun led his army and horses to conquer Hezhou.
He chose the Wujiang ferry closest to Hezhou to disembark.
As the boat sailed on the Yangtze River, Lu Mengjun looked at the surging river water and the tens of thousands of elite soldiers and generals behind him. He suddenly felt heroic in his chest. He thought of Zu Ti, the famous general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and thought to himself: "I must have been in the same mood as me in Yuzhou back then?"
"
Bearing the heavy responsibility of the family and the country, he has achieved a reputation that lasts for thousands of years.
Thinking of this, Lu Mengjun couldn't help but follow the example of his ancestors, hitting the boat in midstream. He knocked on the hull of the boat with the sword in his hand and said loudly: "The time has come to expel the northern thieves. Please follow me to take Hezhou.
Fight with that little Zhuge."
The soldiers behind him were also infected, shouting in peace, and their morale was like a rainbow.
Their army had just won a huge victory and received a huge reward. There was no sign of fear of the Zhou Dynasty, nor was it affected by rumors at all.
Arrive at Wujiang Ferry.
Lu Mengjun couldn't help but think: "The Overlord of Chu fell here, but I wonder if he also crossed the Wujiang River when he led eight thousand people from Jiangdong to cross the river? Bah, it's unlucky. I am not the Overlord of Chu..."
Seeing the soldiers landing in an orderly manner, Lu Mengjun had already begun to think about how to attack the city.
Just when he was having wild thoughts.
"kill--!!!"
Suddenly, earth-shaking roars sounded in front, and a group of soldiers rushed towards them.
Lu Mengjun was immediately at a loss and his mind went blank.
How can it be?
Doesn’t it mean that the other party only has 2,000 people?
Looking at the dark crowd of soldiers directly in front, based on his experience, there were at least a thousand of them?
Under such circumstances, the other side actually dared to divide their forces to fight?
Don’t want the city anymore?
He saw that there were only a thousand people on his side ashore, and all the thoughts in his mind finally converged into two words: "Not good!"
It is true that he had 10,000 people, but only a few thousand came ashore.
