In April of the ninth year of Guangxi, the east and west armies that attacked Jingzhou were still unable to effectively break through the defense lines of the Changsha defenders and Yiling defenders, so the people who were originally waiting to watch Liu Biao be abused became impatient and disappointed.

Now Liu Biao has regarded Lu Meng as a savior and no longer has the suspicion and worries he had at the beginning. When encountering any major events, he will basically take the initiative to discuss with Lu Meng, and it was proved that the effect was indeed very good afterwards.

Although Lu Meng is not as experienced as the counselors such as Jia Xu and Tian Feng in front of Zhao Xing's tent, and is not as intelligent as Guo Jia, Pang Tong, Xu Shu and others, he also has several very distinctive characteristics, or rare virtues and advantages.

According to historical records, Lu Meng was filial to his mother, and everyone in the whole country knew that Lu Su and Gan Ning all worshiped his mother because they admired Lu Meng. He made friends with Xu Gu and others to raise orphans, but he was very loyal and did not care about personal grudges between Cai Yi and Gan Ning, but instead made good words for him before the Lord. When he was in a military affairs, he was still diligent in studying and studying, and made practical use of it, so that he could become a famous general of a generation. He bravely killed Chen Ju, defeated Huang Zu and Zhu Guang; he wisely captured Hao Pu and Guan Yu. He was loyal to Sun Wu and tried his best to plan for Sun Quan.

The idioms related to Lu Meng include: "A monk should look at each other with admiration for three days after separation" and "Ameng from Wu". Lu Meng and Zhou Yu, Lu Su, and Lu Xun were regarded as "the four great governors of the Eastern Wu" by later fans of the Three Kingdoms. Lu Meng is a perfect general who combines the advantages of "filial piety, righteousness, diligence, loyalty, courage, and wisdom"!

In this time and space, Lu Meng also began to gradually reflect "filial piety, righteousness, diligence, loyalty, courage and wisdom". He was worried that his mother would not be taken care of in Jiangdong and had not gained a foothold in Zhao Xing's tent at that time, so he boldly proposed to Zhao Xing that Jin would bring his mother to Wohu City to live. It is becoming increasingly difficult to become a naturalized city in Wohu City, and it is impossible to be a person who has won great merits. In the eyes of some people, Lu Meng made such a request at this time, which is to be ignorant of the way to advance and retreat. **--*

However, Zhao Xing was unambiguous about Lu Meng's request. Not only did he agree immediately, but he also moved Lu Meng's mother and his tribe members to Shangdang as quickly as possible. Even when he took in Lu Meng's brother-in-law Deng Dang, Zhao Xing spent a lot of money to change from Sun Jian.

Zhao Xing's approach of "buying horse bones with a thousand gold coins" immediately convinced Lu Meng. Later, while he followed Zhao Xing, he gradually revealed his characteristics of "righteousness, diligence, loyalty, courage and wisdom". Lu Meng treated his colleagues and the people very kindly, diligently studied various advanced ideas and knowledge, and could be loyal to Zhao Xing without wavering, and brave enough to go to Jingzhou alone with heavy responsibilities. He easily changed the situation in Jingzhou with his personal wisdom alone.

The human trafficker Zhao Xing naturally saw the excellent performance of Lu Meng and was happy in his heart. Such comprehensive talents would not be enough if he had more than one group of talents. What the future Han Empire needs most are talents like Lu Meng who are "loyal, brave, wise and trustworthy" and "civil and military"!

In order to eliminate Liu Biao's concerns about the war on both sides, Lu Meng suggested that Liu Biao recall the eldest son Liu Qi, who was stationed in Jiangling, to guard Xiangyang, and then he and Liu Pan accompanied Liu Biao and took a thousand close-up guards to Yiling and Changsha for condolences and inspections.

Liu Biao stayed in Xiangyang recently and was really disgusted by the King of Xiangyang in Xinye and his wife Cai. Seeing that he had the opportunity to go out for a break, he naturally agreed. Lu Meng thought very carefully about him. Not only would he continue to be with Liu Biao, but he also asked Liu Biao's nephew Liu Pan to protect Liu Biao with the iron guards in the battle, and summoned the eldest son Liu Qi back from Jiangling. He must have thought carefully and made complete preparations.

Lu Meng did make sufficient preparations, but it was not what Liu Biao imagined.

Xiangyang City is close to Nanyang and not far from Luoyang, and has always been the focus of attention and infiltration by all forces. Liu Biao was able to quickly stabilize the chaotic situation in Jingzhou, and the local aristocratic families in Xiangyang, such as Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, Huang Zu, Zhang Yun, etc., all made great contributions. However, with the changes in the situation, the important arm and support of the past may not be the current iron-core subordinates, because the background of these people's aristocratic families determines that their behavior is not based on Liu Biao's interests as the highest principle, but on the interests of the family.

Lu Meng had no doubt that Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others had already begun to "instigate" some aristocratic families in Jingzhou, because if he had been with Cao and Liu, Lu Meng would do this. Cao and Liu represented the court and the orthodox, and could make a promise to be granted official titles to Cai, Kuai, Huang Zu, Zhang Yun and others. It is not difficult to say that some of them changed their positions and turned from supporting Liu Biao to join Cao Cao and Liu Bei. The longer these aristocratic families existed, the more they believed in the so-called orthodox. In addition, the policies adopted by Zhao Xing in the north obviously did not like the wealthy families, so they had too many reasons to join the court rather than Liu Biao, who was now ambiguous.

In fact, even if Liu Biao himself had not been forced into a corner and was unwilling to be easily picked by someone in the family business that he had worked hard for many years, he could not swallow his cowardly, and he might not have accepted the assistance of Jin State and Zhao Xing's kindness. Liu Biao was not a fool, so he could not see that Lu Meng came to support Jingzhou, which was also due to Jin State's own strategic considerations?

Not long ago, Zhao Xing sent a secret letter to Lu Meng, reminding Lu Meng to pay attention to methods and means, find ways to control the rhythm of Jingzhou's defensive battle. He must not expose Jingzhou's full strength too early, and must not reveal Jin's determination to unconditionally support Jingzhou, so as not to alarm Sun Jian and Sima Yi, making it difficult to achieve the goal of Jingzhou attracting troops from multiple parties.

Lu Meng thought repeatedly and felt that it was not easy to achieve Zhao Xing's request. It was like fighting with two opponents with weaker martial arts than him. He should neither be taken care of by others as he was taken advantage of, nor should he use a killer move to scare the opponent and feel reluctant to retreat.

Of course, Zhao Xing's request could not help the smart and wise Lu Ziming. He saw a breakthrough in solving the problem from the undercurrent Xiangyang City.

Liu Biao was in charge of Xiangyang, and all the demons and gods were afraid. Those aristocratic families who secretly wanted to surrender to the court had to consider the tens of thousands of troops in Liu Biao's hands and the two thousand iron guards who seemed like wolves. But if Liu Biao left Xiangyang and took away half of the iron guards and only let the honest and honest eldest son Liu Qi stayed in charge of Xiangyang, the situation would be different.

Lu Meng believed that as soon as Liu Biao and himself left Xiangyang, all forces would take action immediately and want to create various opportunities in Xiangyang. As long as Xiangyang was not only in the situation, Sun Jian and Sima Yi felt that Liu Biao's nest had been lost, they naturally would not give up this excellent opportunity easily. Not only would they not withdraw their troops, but they would also launch an attack on Jingzhou even more vigorously.

Lu Meng's move is very risky, but it is full of temptation and extremely hidden. If it can be realized, I am afraid that many people will be unlucky at that time!
