Sun Liang said: "Fan Li has promised to let go of the past. He is a British master with a generous heart. He dares to testify with the world, so he will not harm us. In addition, my father has a last word to be loyal to him, so I will be loyal to him." He is obeying his father's words!" Mrs. Pan said sharply: "How is it possible! How can anyone be so pregnant" Sun Liang said with some dissatisfaction: "Mother, don't think that everyone is as jealous as you. You're so stupid!" Mrs. Pan raised her eyebrows and said, "What are you talking about! Your child is either big or small!" Sun Liang stuck out his tongue and became silent.
Sun Liang was planning how to surrender to save his life. Quan Shang, Quan Ji and Liu Cheng broke into the camp. Sun Liang asked: "What's going on?" Quan Shang said: "No! General Lu Meng's men have invaded for some reason! [Note 1] Attendants Diao Xuan and Zhang Bin They are resisting!" Sun Liang couldn't believe it and said, "Didn't General Lu swear to be loyal to me to the death? How could he rebel?" Liu Cheng urged: "Let's go! If it's too late, it'll be too late!"
"Ah!" There was a scream, and a bloody person fell into the tent. Sun Liang took a closer look and saw that the dead person was Zhang Xing. The person coming now was Cheng Xi, a general from Cao Wei [Note 2], who was the leading general Cheng Xi sent by Cao Cao to join Lu Meng's army. There is also Liu Bei's important minister Huang Quan and his general Shi He.
Sun Liang was stunned and then said: "Why are you here?" Cheng Xi said: "As an unfilial descendant of the Sun family, you want to abandon the Sun family's foundation. Then you are not qualified to participate in the great war to revive the Sun family. I I can only send you to Sichuan for temporary resettlement! Please pack your things and hit the road!"
Liu Cheng shouted: "Is it Sun Xiu's idea?" Cheng Xi sneered and said: "Yes or no! General Shi, if they don't want to leave, we will send them away!" "Okay!" Shi He agreed.
Cheng Xi and Shi He jointly killed Quan Shang, Quan Ji and his son, but Liu Cheng died in the fight. Sun Liang and Mrs. Pan had no choice but to go on the road. On the way, Sun Liang and Mrs. Pan were killed by someone ordered by Cheng Xi.
Cheng Xi secretly said to Shi He: "Your army must hurry up and control Lu Meng's troops. Lu Meng's son Lu Cong persuaded Lu Meng to surrender to Fan Li!" Shi He said: "Okay! My lord has sent me and Mr. Huang together. The purpose of stationing troops in front of Sun Xiu and Lu Meng's troops is to prevent such a situation from happening!" Cheng Xi said: "Okay! That's good!"
Shi He said: "If there is a chance, I hope General Cheng can express my sincerity in front of Cao Cao!" "Yes! I will!" Cheng Xi nodded. This Shi He was placed by Cao Cao in Liu Bei's army. nail. Cheng Xi and Shi He each returned to their respective military camps.
Lu Meng knew what happened in Sun Liang's tent last night, but he couldn't say anything. After all, the Wei army led by Cheng Xi played a decisive role in the headquarters. Now that there is a strong enemy, we can't make another enemy. It happened that Lu Ba sent the challenge letter of Jiaozhou Army to Lu Meng's hands. After Lu Meng thought for a moment, he said: "We must win a battle to encourage people. Otherwise, everyone will be homesick and miss their relatives. What can this soldier do?" You have to use victory to stimulate them and let them know that only victory can bring them home!"
"Okay!" Lu Ba agreed. But Lu Cong on the side didn't say a word.
Lu Meng and Sun Xiu led their troops to the agreed place, and saw only a handful of Jiaozhou troops standing scattered and scattered. At this moment, a large group of common people cried out: "My son! My son!" "Son, you!" Come back quickly! Your father is lying in bed! He keeps calling your name!"
"It's my father's voice!" A Wu soldier said, looking at the Jiaozhou Army from a distance. Another Wu soldier knelt down and shouted loudly: "Mom! Where is your old man? My dad, what happened to my dad?" "That's my brother! That's my brother!" "Isn't that my wife? ? Lady! It¡¯s me! It¡¯s me!¡±
Lu Ba saw a soldier in front of him put down his weapon and wanted to move forward. He immediately mounted his horse and wanted to cut off the knife in his hand. He shouted: "Don't mess with me! Everyone, calm down! Obey the order!" Stop! Ba'er!" Lu Meng shouted loudly to stop Lu Ba. The knife in Lu Ba's hand stopped in mid-air. The soldier who had put down his weapon turned around and found that he had just missed death.
The eyes of Lu Meng's officers and men were all focused here. Lu Meng said: "They are not wrong! They are even more innocent!" Lu Ba fell silent. Lu Mengyuan saw a large flag set up by the Jiaozhou Army. On the flag were written the relatives of the officers and soldiers of Lu Meng's Army. The voices of calling for children and husbands kept coming, and the faces of the soldiers were full of longing, eager to put down their weapons and return to their relatives. Lu Mengle turned his horse and said, "Withdraw the troops!" He sighed, "It turns out that Fan Li's promise to fight me was a trick! Alas! I fell into the trap! Retreat!" Lu Ba nodded helplessly and finally withdrew his troops.
As soon as Lu Meng returned to the camp, he was filled with sorrow. Lu Ba asked: "Father, why did you withdraw your troops before the battle started?" Lu Meng smiled bitterly and said, "The army has no fighting spirit, and their relatives are in the Jiaozhou army. Once they order an attack, wouldn't they put their loved ones in danger? Like this, the morale of the military is completely lost!well! "Lu Meng stood up and walked back and forth for several steps.
When Lu Cong saw this, he said: "Father, do you think the Sun family can be revived now? Can you use Liu Bei's power to revive the Sun family? Would Liu Bei be so stupid? Master Sun Xiu must also know that the current situation is not optimistic? Liu Bei sent two warlords, Huang Quan and Shi He, beside us. They were obviously to help us, but in reality they were monitoring the intention of annexation. We also have Cao Cao's general Cheng Xi in our army. He was responsible for the incident involving Sun Liang, and we have There can't be any dissatisfaction! Governor Zhou is the sworn brother of Lord Sun Ce. He will help Fan Li for the time being. There are also Sun Yu and Sun Shao from the Sun family, Sun Quan's relatives Bu Zhao, and his favorite ministers Gu Yong and Zhang Zhao. Is it possible that his father still can't help him? Do you understand? The situation we are in now is very difficult, and even if Zhang Liang and Jiang Taigong are resurrected, it will be difficult to turn the tide!"
Lu Meng was silent in thought, paused, and said, "Let me think about it again!" Lu Meng went out of the tent and saw the soldiers talking about it. Lu Meng couldn't help but sigh. Knowing that our army will not be used, if it continues for a long time, the people's hearts will disperse.
Huang Quan came and said, "General Lu, I have just informed Mr. Sun Xiu of this matter. I came to tell the general that our army wants to take over the general's defense and temporarily block the enemy. Our army's generals, General Zhao Yun and Mr. Deng Zhi, led The army has arrived. General, please retreat to the rear of our army, take a short rest, and then come back to perform meritorious service!" Lu Meng was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "Okay! This seems like the best!" Lu Meng knew that as long as there is a way to retreat, he can retreat for the time being. Comeback.
"It's not good! It's not good! Father!" When Huang Quan was discussing with Lu Meng how to hand over the defense, Huang Quan's two sons Huang Chong and Huang Yong ran over. When Huang Quan saw his two sons looking disgraced, he scolded : "What are you two doing! How indecent are you looking like this!"
Huang Chong said: "Father, it's not good! As soon as my father left, the Jiaozhou Army immediately attacked the camp. General Shi did not expect that he died in the battle. Brother Yong and I escaped with our lives to report to my father! What should we do now? ?" "Ah?" Huang Quan was stunned and said, "What? Defeated? This, this"
"What? Huang Quan's army was defeated by Zhou? Did Shi He, the deputy general, die in the battle?" Lu Meng looked into the distance and said, "Guangxin can't be taken down! Alas!" Sun Xiu happened to come out and looked at each other with Lu Meng. He saluted: "Young Master!" "Alas!" Sun Xiu sighed, looked at the frustrated soldiers, lowered his head and returned to his tent without energy.
Lu Meng said to himself: "Fan Li has actually defeated Mr. Huang's army, so he must encircle our army. In this way, it will be difficult for our army to leave! The morale of the army has been dispersed, so next, under the call of their relatives , more and more soldiers will flee. Alas!" Lu Meng had already anticipated what would happen.
Huang Quan said: "General Lu, don't worry! I will do my best to help you! I'm leaving first! Rush back first and let the lord send troops to rescue him as soon as possible!" After speaking, he looked at his two sons and asked them to Escape quickly with yourself. Lu Meng sighed.

What's your purpose of coming?" I can already guess it! Alas! Is it because we are now surrounded by Fan Li? If reinforcements arrive, it is still unknown whether we can break the siege. Even if reinforcements do arrive, they will be controlled by others. And now the soldiers Without fighting spirit, no one knows what will happen next!" Sun Xiulian said: "I know! I know! Alas! General Lu, what do you think we should do?" "I, I" Lu Meng didn't know how to answer That's good.
