Chapter 78 77. Is the surname of the person who went to the meeting alone was Guan or Lu?

Liu Bei's main force entered Shu, and Guan Yu's burden of staying in Jingzhou was not easy. With his troops greatly reduced, he could only passively defend against the north and east. No longer on the Xiangyang front line, the two sides can temporarily maintain a default front line, and no one wants to easily provoke a big war. The Jingnan three counties in the rear are different. Originally, the east part is in the hands of the Jiangdong Army. In addition, as an ally of the Jiangdong Army, it is difficult for the Jingzhou Army to take the initiative to drive them away by force. This Jiangnan water town is really what Sun Quan talked about. Fat meat, just don't know when he will open his mouth to bite.

Sun Quan had the initiative to turn his back on him. Seeing that Liu Bei had first settled in Yizhou, the former Liu Zhang’s old army might not be so easy to tame. After Liu Bei asked for the three counties but was rejected, the first half of the procedure of courtesy first and soldiers later was completed. When Jingzhou was annexed by force. The former army commander was Lv Meng, and the 20,000 soldiers who supervised him killed the three counties. Lv Meng knew political offensives very well, and his force was only used as a back-up intimidation. Usually, after the soldiers approached the city, he immediately wrote a letter to persuade the city guards to surrender. This is almost the same as Liu Bei's three After the copy of the county was transferred to Changsha and Guiyang, the two counties were hopelessly surrendered, but Hao Pu, the prefect of Lingling, held on to the city and did not surrender.

Before the emergency army report was sent to Liu Bei, who was appeasing Xishu, how could he easily discard his hometown in Jingzhou?Besides, Liu Bei's military strength is no longer comparable to when he entered Sichuan. The Jing and Shu states have merged into one family, with a total of more than 100,000, and they are already qualified to compete with Sun Quan, the eldest uncle! On the one hand, Liu Bei ordered Guan Yu, who guarded Jiangling, to prepare his troops for battle, and went south to recover the lost land of the three counties; Liu Bei's army was not at a disadvantage in the local situation. Due to the containment of the Cao army on the Jianghuai front line, the Jiangdong army could not do its best to fight for Jingzhou. The front line was only Lu Su's more than 10,000 sailors and Lu Meng's 20,000 cavalry mixed troops, especially located behind the Jiangdong army. The current Lingling County is still in the hands of Hao Pu, the prefect appointed by Liu Bei. If the two sides really make a move, no one can say that they are the absolute winners.

As for Cao Cao, the common enemy of the two families?The unfavorable factors exist on both sides, and it is estimated that Cao Cao will not favor any one. Liu Bei went out in person, and Sun Quan was of course not far behind. Sun Quan first ordered Lu Su, who was on the border with Guan Yu, to garrison Zengyang with ten thousand troops to repel Guan Yu. Quickly helping Lu Su, it seems that the most important relationship between relatives is going to be serious. Lu Meng received Sun Quan's order, but he dared not reveal it. He knew that Hao Pu was a loyal man. Since he did not betray Liu Bei, he would try his best to defend the city. If he knew that Sun Quan ordered the siege troops to reinforce Lu Su who was on the front line in Yiyang, he would definitely refuse to die. Facing the fortified city, the Jiangdong army was really eager to find a good way to break the city. Now that the siege is no longer possible, is it really necessary for Hao Pu to leave an enclave of Lingling for Liu Bei?

That night Lü Meng summoned his generals to give him a strategy for attacking the city. In the early morning of the next day, Lü Meng's entire army assumed a long-term siege posture under Danglingling City. However, there was Hao Pu's old friend Nanyang Deng Xuanzhi in Lv Meng's army, and Lv Meng seemed to be confiding in him: "Hao Pu only knows how to imitate the loyal people in the world, but it's a pity that the timing is not right! Now General Zuo is surrounded by Xia Houyuan's heavy troops in Hanzhong. Bao; Guan Yu defended himself in Nanjun, patronizing his loyalty and bravery, and being implicated by Cao's army, he couldn't escape, and he couldn't look after each other. How could he have spare energy to rescue Lingling?

I guess even if Guan Yu was lucky enough to attack here, Lingling would have been destroyed for how many days!After Lingling City was broken, Mr. Hao must die, but unfortunately, it didn't help the matter. Instead, his hundred-year-old mother was punished for nothing. It's really sad! In fact, Hao Pu insisted on not surrendering because he thought that there would be foreign aid soon, but in the current situation, isn't this his own dream?Bad information hurts good people!You go into the city and explain the situation outside to him. Whether it is a blessing or a curse depends on him. "

Seeing the siege, Deng Xuanzhi was really worried about the bad ending of his old friend, and immediately went to the city to see Hao Pu. Lu Meng's deduction must have become Deng Xuan's own personal experience. Reality, barely Kaesong surrendered. Of course Lu Meng warmly welcomed him, and he personally took Hao Pu off the boat to meet the wind. After some courtesies, he took out Sun Quan's emergency letter and laughed loudly.Hao Pu took Sun Quan's troop transfer document and read it carefully, only to realize that Liu Bei had already arrived at Gong'an, and Guan Yu had already marched to Yiyang.Be fooled!Ashamed and remorse, I just want to find a crack in the ground to get in.

Lu Meng left Sunhe to take over Lingling's political affairs, and led his troops to Yiyang. On the front line of Yiyang, Lu Su's Jiangdong Army and Guan Yu's Jingzhou Army were on top of the bulls, but Guan Yu hadn't waited for Liu Bei from the Public Security Bureau to follow up, and Lu Su was also waiting for Lu Meng's reinforcements. Meet with Guan Yu alone to see if there is even a glimmer of hope for peacefully conquering Jingzhou at the last moment? Meeting Guan Yu alone?The generals couldn't help clicking their tongues, but naturally no one agreed.However, Lu Su was confident that without Liu Bei's order, Guan Yu would never turn his face and hurt himself, so he wrote a letter to invite Guan Yu to meet each other. Each of the troops stationed a hundred paces away was only allowed to bring one follower to negotiate between the two armies. , Guan Yu immediately agreed.This is the so-called "single-handed meeting".

There must be meeting records for this meeting, but the records of the two parties at the meeting are not quite the same. Wu Shu probably only recorded the plots that are beneficial to him; ", so much so that a lawsuit has been fought for 1,800 years, and countless historians have not been able to distinguish the inside from the outside for them. Even now, there are still quarrels. Wu "fans" rely on Wu Shu, and Shu "fans" prefer to believe it. Unfortunately, Wei Shu didn't even act as a middleman, making this "single-handed meeting" a lawsuit that will never be closed.

Lao Sun didn't have the guts to wade into this troubled water, and he wasn't going to be the "housework" judge for the Sun and Liu families. Let's just make a statement here. There is only one thing that can be asserted: the so-called "going to the meeting alone" is neither a single sword nor a single person , neither surnamed Guan nor Lu, since they all brought an entourage to the meeting, it can only be called: Lu and Guan two swords meeting - battlefield negotiations.
