Chapter 70 Lu Meng’s suicide note recommended to Lu Xun

"General Taishi, it's not good, the governor is dead!" The scout leader who came this time dismounted and said to Taishixiang.

"Nonsense! If you dare to disturb the morale of the army, you will definitely be executed without forgiveness!" Tai Shixiang said angrily.

"General Taishi, what I said is true. I saw the body of Governor Lu with my own eyes!"

"What?" After hearing the news, Taishi Ci stood there stupidly.

Could it be that Lu Meng is really dead? How is this possible? In the morning, Lu Meng was still standing in front of him alive. How long has it been! Moreover, Lu Meng was taking tens of thousands of people away, and there were tens of thousands of people guarding him. How could Lu Meng die?

After a long time, Taishi Xiangcai calmed down and asked, "What the hell is going on?"

"Return to the general, we don't know what happened. I heard that Governor Lu encountered Guan Yu's ambush. We will not know what happened until the army comes back!" said the scout leader.

Hearing this, Tai Shixiang licked his lips gently and said, "You guys come out of the city with me. Let's go and see what's going on?"

Finally, Tai Shixiang met the retreating Jiangdong army. The vast number of defeated troops slowly walked on the road, with no end to see at a glance.

"Where is Governor Lu? Where is Governor Lu?" Tai Shixiang grabbed a small soldier at will and asked.

The soldier pointed to the back and said in a trembling voice: "General, Governor Lu is behind."

Tai Shixiang ran back after slamming horses. After walking for a while, a group of people were carrying stretchers in the distance. Tai Shixiang walked forward and found that the person lying on the stretcher in front of the person was Lu Meng!

"Governor!" Tai Shixiang rushed forward and found that Lu Meng had no breathing!

This scene made Tai Shixiang stunned. Then, the soldiers behind him carried Jiang Qin's body and walked over...

Lu Meng died and Jiang Qin died. The situation has happened so far that it is no longer within his control!

Tai Shixiang breathed a sigh of relief and said to the people around him: "You guys go to Jiangling immediately and tell your lord about this!"

Jiangling.

Not long after the war began, Sun Quan brought an important civil and military minister to Jingzhou in person to supervise the war in Jiangling.

Sun Quan was still very relieved about Lu Meng. Speaking of which among the soldiers of Jiangdong, Sun Quan liked the most. Among the previous commanders, Lu Meng was the most satisfied with Sun Quan.

When Zhou Yu was the Grand Commander-in-chief, although he burned Chibi and defeated Cao Cao, Zhou Yu was in full swing in that battle, but Sun Quan himself did not get any benefits, and Jingzhou still let Liu Bei go for nothing.

Later, Zhou Yu finally died and Lu Su came to take over. However, Lu Su was too loyal and wanted to return to the three counties of Jingzhou, but Lu Su inherited Zhou Yu's strategic thinking and did what he did was similar to Zhou Yu, which really made Sun Quan dislike.

Sun Quan is a man who is somewhat very fond of merit. After many unfavorable attacks on Hefei, Sun Quan hopes to make a breakthrough on Jingzhou. However, whether it is Zhou Yu or Lu Su, they are all based on the abacus of Liu Kangcao. How can this win Jingzhou?

It’s better to be Lu Meng now. He defeated Guan Yu with a simple strategy and captured Jingzhou! Now Guan Yu is trapped in Maicheng, and he is about to be captured by himself!

Thinking about Guan Yu flooding the seven armies, which made Cao Ren dare not even dare to leave the sect. Sun Quan couldn't help but start to fantasize in his mind, if Guan Yu could surrender to him and send troops directly to Xiangyang, why worry about the big thing?

At this moment, Luo Tong hurriedly walked in from outside, and Sun Quan could faintly see the sweat beads on Luo Tong's head.

"Gongxu, why are you so panicked?" Sun Quan asked.

"Lord, the big thing is wrong. Maicheng Taishixiang has received an urgent report." Luo Tong said before he could stand firm after entering the door.

"But Guan Yu ran away?" Sun Quan frowned. In Sun Quan's opinion, Guan Yu's successful breakthrough was probably the worst result.

"Lord, not only Guan Yu ran away, but General Lu Meng, Jiang Qin and Zhu Ran were also killed!" Luo Tong said.

"Is Lu Meng dead?" Sun Quan screamed suddenly.

Luo Tong was frightened by Sun Quan's call. Luo Tong had never seen Sun Quan lose his composure. Even when Cao Cao's 830,000 troops attacked Jiangdong, Sun Quan was still sitting firmly on Diaoyutai. But now, Sun Quan actually screamed regardless of his demeanor.

However, Sun Quan is worthy of being a prince. After only one breath, Sun Quan calmed down. He saw Sun Quan gloomy and asked, "What the hell is going on? Tell me what happened!"

"Return to the lord, General Lu Meng originally sent Zhu Ran to ambush the north of Maicheng City, but there was a group of Shu troops from somewhere and defeated General Zhu Ran. Guan Yu took this opportunity to break north. Governor Lu Meng immediately pursued him, but encountered Guan Yu's ambush, Governor Lu Meng and General Jiang Qin were all killed!" Luo Tong said briefly.

"Ambushes? There are tens of thousands of troops around Lu Meng. Could it be that there are hundreds of thousands of troops on the other side ambush Lu Meng?"

"I don't know about this minister. I just heard that General Lu Meng led his troops to pursue him, but the cavalry and infantry were disconnected, resulting in the isolated army going deeper, and he was ambushed. When the army behind felt it, General Lu Meng had already died!"

Lu Meng's death completely made Sun Quan mess up.

In fact, Sun Quan's attack on Jingzhou has always been very smooth. Whether it was the initial demonstration of the enemy as weak, making Guan Yu careless, or crossing the river in white, occupying Jiangling and the police, or defeating Guan Yu, trapping Guan Yu in Maicheng, all this went very smoothly, completely according to the script designed before.

If being run away by Mi Fang is considered a small flaw here, then now that Guan Yu and Lu Meng are still dead in battle are simply breaking the sky.

Sun Quan trusted Lu Meng, and at the same time, Sun Quan also had confidence in Lu Meng, so Sun Quan appointed Lu Meng as the Grand Governor and transferred Sun Jiao away, with the purpose of giving Lu Meng a greater space to play. Lu Meng has always done very well, with almost no flaws. It can be described as perfect.

But unexpectedly, Lu Meng was defeated this time, not only but also lost his life!

Sun Quan sighed and waved at Luo Tong: "You go down first!"

Luo Tong nodded. He knew that what Sun Quan needed most now was to calm down alone. Luo Tong bowed at Sun Quan and then stood up and left.

In the hall, Sun Quan sat there alone, staring blankly at the table.

I remember when Sun Ce died, Sun Quan was sitting at the table so blankly, at a loss.

The personal soldiers consciously surrounded outside the house. Everyone knew that Sun Quan did not want to be disturbed at this time, so no one dared to make any noise at this moment.

Sun Jing came to Sun Quan's courtyard.

Sun Jing was Sun Quan's uncle, so the guards naturally did not dare to stop him, but Sun Jing still slowed down and gently came to Sun Quan's room.

Sun Quan frowned when he heard the footsteps. Now that Sun Quan needed quietness, someone dared to come and disturb him. Sun Quan couldn't help but feel a little angry, but when Sun Quan looked up and saw that Sun Jing was coming in, the feeling of anger in his heart suddenly disappeared.

"Uncle, Lu Meng is dead!" Sun Quan said.

Sun Jing came to Sun Quan, patted Sun Quan on the shoulder gently, then took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Sun Quan, and said, "Zhong Mou, Ziming left a letter to me before leaving. At that time, he said that if he was unfortunate, he would give you this letter!"

Sun Quan snatched the letter and saw the big words "Lord's Kiss" on it, which were Lu Meng's handwriting.

Sun Quan hurriedly opened the letter and read it carefully.

I saw the expression on Sun Quan's face constantly changing, sometimes sad, sometimes thinking, sometimes feeling emotion.

Finally, Sun Quan saw the last few passages.

"I am afraid, and I am trusted by the lord and commanded the three armies. I will repay you with all my life... Bo Yan and Shulang are both very talented. However, although Shulang is good at making friends, his strategy is not as good as Bo Yan. Lu Boyan's talent and wisdom are ten times better than Bo Yan, and he can be of great use. The lord can make him defend Jingzhou, and he can definitely block Cao Cao in the south and fight against Liu Bei in the west..."

The Shulang in Lu Meng's letter was Sun Jiao, and Bo Yan was naturally Lu Xun. Speaking of which, Sun Jiao was an outstanding talent in the Sun family. When Lu Meng entered Jingzhou, Sun Quan appointed Sun Jiao as the deputy general of Lu Meng, but Lu Meng said that if Lu Meng was used, Lu Meng would be used alone, and Sun Jiao would be used alone. So Sun Quan transferred Sun Jiao back to be responsible for logistics, and the front-line army would be given full power to Commander Lu Meng.

Now that Lu Meng is dead, Sun Quan will of course find someone to replace Lu Meng. Speaking of which, Sun Quan likes the most is Sun Jiao. After all, Sun Jiao is Sun Quan's cousin, so it would be better to take military power in his own hands. What's more, there is no suitable candidate in Jiangdong who can replace Lu Meng. Unexpectedly, Lu Meng actually recommended Lu Xun to him.

Lu Xun is Sun Ce's son-in-law and is also Sun Quan's niece, but Sun Quan does not know Lu Xun very well. Speaking of which, Lu Xun is not very fond of showing off, so Lu Xun has not shown much talent now.

Sun Quan handed the letter to Sun Jing next to him and asked, "Uncle, what do you think Ziming's final proposal?"

Sun Jing read the letter and said that the so-called Lu Meng's final proposal was to let Lu Xun take over Lu Meng's position.

At this time, Sun Jing felt like a mirror in her heart. Jingzhou is now a hot potato. Jingzhou was originally a place of four battles, surrounded by enemies on all sides. Although Jiangdong has occupied Jingzhou, it has to face Cao Cao in the north and Liu Bei in the west. Moreover, there is a Guan Yu in Jingzhou who is leading 10,000 troops and horses. Speaking of fighting against Guan Yu, no one in the world can say that he will win.

Sun Jiao is his son. If Sun Jiao is asked to defend Jingzhou, it sounds very powerful. However, in this way, Sun Jiao will face the first thing he has to do is Guan Yu's ten thousand troops, and he will face Liu Bei and Cao Cao's army in the future. Even Lu Meng died at Guan Yu's hands. Although Sun Jiao has the ability, he will not have a big chance of winning when facing Guan Yu, and he may be killed by Guan Yu.

Sun Jing has five sons. The eldest son Sun Hao once wanted to seize power when Sun Ce died, but failed. Although Sun Quan did not kill him, Sun Hao's life was over. The second son Sun Yu died of illness a few years ago, while the fourth son Sun Qian and the fifth son Sun Huan were mediocre. The most capable son of Sun Jing was the third son Sun Jiao.

Sun Jiao is Sun Jing’s greatest hope, so Sun Jing doesn’t want Sun Jiao to make any mistakes. Now, it’s better to let his son stay away for such a dangerous job as guarding Jingzhou.
