Chapter six hundred and sixty seventh make good use of you
Lu Su was ashamed and fell to the ground, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
Yan Liang's question was clearly a way of publicly humiliating Lu Su as a winner, but Lu Su did not dare to show any dissatisfaction.
After being captured, how many people still did not know whether to live or die, and were proud of themselves in front of Yan Liang, only to be killed by Yan Liang without mercy and using all cruel methods.
Sun Quan and Zhou Yu are the best examples.
In the face of the bloody facts, how could Lu Su dare to show his so-called self-esteem anymore? If so, he would not abandon Tancheng and come to Yan Liang to surrender regardless of his face.
"Su is just regretting now that he didn't recognize the general situation earlier and submit to the king earlier. It was only now that he repented and begged the king to forgive me." Lu Su's words were extremely humble, his head lowered lower, and his buttocks were almost raised high.
.
How humble, how shameless.
Obviously, Lu Su was the most aware of current affairs and the smartest among all the civil and military officials in Soochow.
If it were a different general and he knew the current situation, Yan Liang might choose to surrender and use it for my use, but it is a pity that the one kneeling in front of him is Lu Su.
This enemy, who had already listed Yan Liang's death list, even though he was humbly kneeling in front of him, begging for mercy from Yan Liang, Yan Liang would never let him go.
Looking down at Lu Su, Yan Liang snorted coldly, his eyes filled with fear, and he raised his hand slightly. He immediately planned to give an order to use the most cruel method to torture Lu Su severely, and then kill him to satisfy his hatred.
Just when Yan Liang was about to take action, Pang Tong, who was next to him, suddenly said: "Since your Majesty, Lu Zijing, is so aware of current affairs, please be magnanimous and forgive him for his previous sins."
While admonishing, Pang Tong was still winking secretly at Yan Liang, as if there was something behind his words.
Pang Tong had followed Yan Liang for a long time, and he should be very aware of his style. Now that he knew that Yan Liang vowed to kill Lu Su, and even deliberately persuaded him, Yan Liang guessed that Pang Tong must have some secrets.
The cruel order that Yan Liang wanted to say was swallowed by him forcefully.
Turning his eyes, Yan Liang's expression changed from gloomy to bright, and he laughed loudly and said: "What the military advisor said makes sense. I have surrendered Lu Su now, and the morale of the big-eared thieves will be a heavy blow. Very good, Lu Zi
Respect. I will forgive your sin. You can get up."
Lu Su was so excited that he was granted amnesty. He kowtowed repeatedly, thanked Yan Liang again and again, praised and approved, and expressed his utmost compliment and awe.
Yan Liang temporarily suppressed the nausea in his heart and used his extraordinary acting skills to comfort Lu Su. He also arranged a position for Lu Su and asked him to follow him on the expedition.
After comforting him several times, Yan Liang asked Lu Su to go down and rest first. Lu Su, who was so grateful that tears filled his eyes, withdrew.
As soon as Lu Su left, Yan Liang said: "Commander, I just saw your eyes as a hint, so I temporarily left Lu Su alone. I would like to hear what your reasons are."
"Killing Lu Su is naturally simple. I just thought that before killing Lu Su, I should at least make good use of him and make Liu Bei sick." Pang Tong lightly stroked his short beard, a hint of mystery appeared in the corner of his mouth.
Yan Liang's spirit suddenly perked up. Looking at his familiar sly smile, Yan Liang knew that there was some evil plot in Feng Chu's mind.
"Military advisor, let's talk about it," Yan Liang said.
Pang Tong then took his time and laid out his plans and excuses.
The more Yan Liang listened, the more excited he became, and the more he listened, the heavier the sneer on his face became.
…
Just as Pang Tong speculated, as soon as Lu Su surrendered, the remaining Yan army in Tan city suddenly collapsed.
The Yan army was originally just suspicious, but Lu Su's surrender was a mountain of ironclad evidence that convinced the Yan army in the city that the Liu Bei King's order that was shot into the city must be true.
Therefore, nearly 20,000 Yan troops abandoned the city that night and broke out from the north of Tancheng under the cover of darkness.
These self-righteous Yan troops never imagined that they had fallen into Yan Liang's plan. On the northern line of the siege, more than 40,000 Chu troops were waiting in formation, waiting for them to come and die.
It was a bloody night.
Forty thousand Chu troops, countless strong bows and crossbows, and galloping cavalry, ruthlessly turned the north of Tan City into a Shura hell field.
Of the 20,000 Yan troops who hit the guns, almost half were killed or wounded. Another 7,000 Yan troops lost their fighting spirit under this blow, abandoned their weapons and surrendered to Yan Liang.
The massacre lasted all night, while Yan Liang sat in the Beiying camp, sipping a drink and listening to the Yan army's earth-shattering howl.
At dawn, the massacre finally ended.
Only then did Yan Liang leave the camp, sitting on a red rabbit horse, stepping on the corpses of the Yan army lying on the ground, and headed towards Tancheng, which was already deserted.
Lu Su, who was already a minister of Chu, followed Yan Liang. Looking at the corpses everywhere, he felt as if he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle. It was not a good feeling.
"Zijing, if it weren't for your credit, how could this king kill so happily, and how could he take Tancheng so easily?" Yan Liang's tone sounded like praise, but it still seemed to be a bit sarcastic.
.
Lu Su felt unhappy in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it at all, so he could only agree with a smile.
Yan Liang led the crowd into the city proudly, climbed to the top of Tancheng, raised his eyes and looked to the north, and sneered: "Big-eared thief, you can't imagine that I will take Tancheng so quickly. If you are brave, come and take it. I, the king
Waiting for you to die here."
As soon as he finished speaking, the troops from the city came up and reported that Ling Tong had escorted 200,000 bushels of grain and grass and transported them to the Shitun Grain Camp in the southwest of Tancheng. He had just arrived in Tancheng and was waiting to meet him at the bottom of the city.
Yan Liang nodded slightly and called General Ling Tongxuan to come to the city to meet him.
At this time, Pang Tong smiled and said: "Now the grain collected in Shitun has more than one million dendrobium. The grain and grass are sufficient and the morale is strong. This is the perfect time for a decisive battle with Liu Bei."
"Hmph, if Liu Bei dares to come, I will kill them all without leaving any trace." Yan Liang said proudly.
"However, Shitun Grain Camp is an important place, but there are only five thousand defenders. I feel that there are too few troops and horses. Should we add more troops and horses for defense?" Pang Tong was worried.
However, Yan Liang disagreed and said: "Shitun is twenty miles south of Tan City. It is such a safe place, so there is no need to spend many troops to defend it. Five thousand elite soldiers are enough."
Pang Tong seemed to have just said something casually. After hearing what Yan Liang said, he gave up his worries and said no more.
While he was talking, footsteps sounded, and Ling Tong had already reached the top of the city.
"Your Majesty, Ling Tong, pays homage to the king." Ling Tong bowed his hands and came forward to pay homage.
"You've worked hard all the way, Gongji, please get up quickly." Yan Liang stretched out his hand to help Ling Tong up.
When Ling Tongyi raised his head, he suddenly saw Lu Su standing next to Yan Liang, and a look of infinite shock and anger suddenly appeared on his face.
"Lu Su is a thief, I want your life." Ling Tong suddenly became furious, drew his sword and rushed towards Lu Su.
In the battle of Chaisang, it was Lu Su who persuaded Sun Quan to join the army, so that his father and son, the Ling family, accidentally shot and killed Han Dang. As a result, the Ling family and his son were ostracized in Soochow. As one of the parties involved,
Lu Su never stood up and said a word of justice for the Ling family.
Therefore, in Ling Tong's view, Lu Su, like Sun Quan, was one of the enemies of his Ling family.
When the enemies met, they were extremely jealous. Now Ling Tong suddenly saw Lu Su right in front of him. The fire of revenge temporarily clouded his mind. He dared to draw his sword and kill Lu Su regardless of Yan Liang's presence.
Lu Su was stunned on the spot. He was so frightened that he instinctively shrank back and shouted: "Ling Gongji, wait a moment, wait a moment, listen to my explanation."
Ling Tong, whose eyes were bloodshot, could not hear his explanation, and slashed wildly with the sword in his hand.
While the sword was still in the air, Yan Liang stretched out his arm and swung it like a flash. Before he could see clearly how he made the move, the sword in Ling Tong's hand had been snatched away by Yan Liang.
"How dare you act arrogantly in front of this king about Ling Tong's official achievements!" Yan Liang shouted angrily.
After hearing this shout, Ling Tong was awakened for a moment, and he raised his hands and said angrily: "I am in a hurry, and I ask for your forgiveness, but this thief has an sworn hatred with my Ling family. If I don't kill him, it will be difficult for me to understand."
Such hatred."
Yan Liang did not answer, but glanced at Pang Tong.
Pang Tong stepped forward and advised: "It's a public achievement. Lu Zijing has surrendered to the king today. He can be regarded as a colleague of you and me. In the past, each was his own master. You can put aside those personal grudges."
Ling Tongyi couldn't help but feel shocked when he heard this, and his angry face showed confusion and confusion.
Pang Tong then told Ling Tong how Lu Su had abandoned the city and came back to surrender to Yan Liang, so that Yan Liang could take Tan City lightly.
Only then did Ling Tong suddenly understand how Lu Su, an enemy, could stand beside his king openly.
At this time, Ling Tong realized that he could no longer avenge himself, and he was so angry that his face was full of resentment.
But in front of Yan Liang, Ling Tong didn't dare to make another mistake and could only suppress his hatred.
Ling Tong returned to normal, and Yan Liang stopped blaming him and continued talking about how to fight Liu Bei as usual.
Although Ling Tong was silent, his eyes were like knives and he was always staring at Lu Su.
Although Lu Su pretended to be calm, his heart was being stared at by Ling Tong, and he was quietly breaking out in cold sweat.
After that day, Ling Tong did not trouble Lu Su again, but Lu Su's mood was still difficult to calm down.
Ling Tong was Yan Liang's trusted general and had always been highly regarded by Yan Liang, but Lu Su had only just arrived. If Pang Tong hadn't persuaded him, Yan Liang would have even planned to kill him.
Lu Su naturally knew that his status and that of Ling Tong were absolutely incomparable.
Lu Su was even more worried, what should he do if Yan Liang one day decided to sacrifice himself in order to prevent Ling Tong from being heartbroken.
In this way, he spent two days in uneasiness.
In the evening of that day, as soon as Lu Su returned to his tent, Yan Liang's Wang Ling came and ordered him to go to Huainan with Ling Tong the next morning to escort the grain and grass.
After receiving this royal order, Lu Su couldn't help being shocked and thought to himself: "Yan Liang knew that Ling Tong wanted to kill me, but he still asked me to go with Ling Tong to escort the grain and grass. Wasn't this deliberately pushing me into the fire pit? Could it be that he was really killed?"
My guess is that Yan Liang wants to sacrifice me to appease Ling Tong, right?"
The more Lu Su thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became.
Having been anxious for a long time, Lu Su frowned and gritted his teeth: "No, I can't sit here and wait for death. I must escape from the Chu camp tonight." (To be continued...)
