Three Kingdoms: I, Liu Feng, do not want to die

Chapter 68: A plan to kill Lu Meng while he was ill
Wang Dang, the first on the left, said excitedly, "General, the four of us were originally soldiers going to Jiangling to visit relatives."

"Two days ago, around 7am to 4pm, after Lu Meng saw someone off at the city gate, he suddenly started coughing violently and vomited blood, and he almost fainted."

"Another Wu general was supporting Lü Meng the whole time. Lü Meng stood there for a long time before returning to the city. When he entered the city, a large number of soldiers surrounded him as if to protect him."

"We thought that this information should be very important to the general, so we gave up entering the city and hurried back to report to the general."

Liu Feng looked at him with a stern look: "How do you four know that the man is Lü Meng?"

Wang Dang said, "Lü Meng built a camp outside the city. We had to stay there for one night before entering the city. We could enter the city the next day. Every evening, Lü Meng came to the camp to ask about our well-being and gave us hot porridge and money. That's why I know Lü Meng."

After hearing Wang Dang's statement, even Liu Feng had to admit that Lu Meng's ability to attack people's hearts was very high.

The soldiers from Maicheng who came in the cold wind were provided with food, drink, shelter and money outside Jiangling City. If it were not for Liu Feng's promise of "leave" and Guan Yu's daily kindness in taking care of them, the soldiers who received the favor would probably have shouted that they wanted to surrender to Lu Meng.

[It seems that my presence has aggravated Lu Meng's condition. ]

Liu Feng had some guesses in his mind.

According to historical records, Lu Meng died after Guan Yu died.

Although the exact time is unclear, it is an ironclad fact that Lu Meng's illness lasted for a long time and became increasingly serious.

Liu Feng could also guess the reason why Lu Meng's condition worsened. It was nothing more than the complicated situation in Jingzhou that forced Lu Meng to hold on to his sick body and plan for Sun Quan.

After all, Liu Feng's intervention not only affected Guan Yu's troops, but also affected Lu Xun's capture of Zigui.

In other words.

The appearance of Liu Feng blocked Lu Meng's plan to seize Jing only one-third of the way through.

Originally, Lu Meng could have rested in Jiangling City to recuperate and then hold on until the next year, but now he has to compete with Liu Feng in wits and strength.

Liu Feng would not allow Lu Meng to survive until next year as recorded in history.

While Lu Meng is sick, we must kill him.

If Lu Meng had died of illness earlier, the situation in Jingzhou would have become more complicated, and Sun Quan would not have been able to be a chess player outside the chessboard.

Think of this.

Liu Feng immediately had a table brought in for the four people to sit at. He also took out some wine and meat and shared them among the four people, saying, "As the saying goes, good wine should be drunk by righteous men, and good meat should be eaten by warriors. A little wine and meat is not a sign of respect, so don't refuse. After you have eaten and drunk well, I will give you a great fortune."

Wang Dang and the other three were all low-level pawns.

Although he was brave, he was unlucky and did not make many contributions after serving in the army for several years.

Wang Dang, the highest-ranking official, was only a bochang, while Luo Xin, Shan Xiong and Pei Qing were only shichang.

Now that they had unexpectedly obtained important information, the four had thought that they would only be rewarded with some money for their contribution, but they had never expected that there would be wine, meat and great wealth waiting for them.

As for how dangerous it would be to acquire great wealth, the four of them didn't care.

Living in troubled times, life and death are no longer in our control.

The four people are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of not having the opportunity to make meritorious deeds.

Only by making achievements can you have the opportunity to gain and enjoy wealth.

The four of them were not polite and ate the wine and meat that Liu Feng had rewarded them with. When they were full, the four of them stood up and left the table, asking Liu Feng for permission.

Liu Feng was also quite satisfied with the four people.

The army is not afraid of ambitious soldiers, but only of incompetent soldiers.

Liu Feng pondered for a moment and said, "I want to use you as spies. You can go back to Jiangling City and spread the news that 'Sun Quan's generals are mostly bandits, mountain bandits, and water pirates. They are greedy and like to plunder. Sun Quan is not a kind and righteous person. He once massacred more than 30,000 people in Lujiang and relocated more than 30,000 people. He also massacred more than 40,000 people in Jiangxia and relocated more than 40,000 people.'"

"Jiangling was safe before, not because Sun Quan and his generals had become righteous, but because Sun Quan thought he could seize Zigui and block the Hanzhong King's army, and wanted to hold the families of Guan Junhou's soldiers hostage to force Guan Junhou to surrender."

"But now, Lü Meng is seriously ill and about to die, Guan Junhou's army has broken through Lukou, and the King of Hanzhong's army has also arrived in Zigui. Sun Quan is terrified and wants to plunder Jiangling and force the people of Jiangling to flee to Jiangdong."

"For the people of Jiangling, disaster is not far away."

When Wang Dang and the other three heard the news that Liu Feng was going to spread, they were shocked and suspicious.

Wang Dang even asked: "General, has the Hanzhong King's army really come to Zigui? When I was in the Jiangling camp, Lu Meng said that Lu Xun had already captured Zigui, and many soldiers were frightened."

Liu Feng snorted and laughed: "When the Hanzhong King's army arrived at Gong'an City, Lu Meng also lied to Lingling Governor Hao Pu and said, 'Your Majesty's army was defeated, and the Hanzhong King gave up Jingzhou.' Can you believe his words?"

"It's a pity that Hao Pu was once a loyal and brave general. He defended Lingling for many days after Liao Li abandoned the city and fled. In the end, he was deceived by Lu Meng because of a momentary mistake and became a disgrace."

"Warfare is all about deception! The enemy's words cannot be trusted. You will all be the ones who will make contributions and be appointed generals to take on important responsibilities in the future. Don't follow in Hao Pu's footsteps."

The king was ashamed and said, "I am stupid and doubt what you said. Please punish me."

Liu Feng shook his head: "It doesn't matter. Lu Meng is used to deceiving people, how could he be easily discovered by you? It's not too late to understand now. Since I use you as spies, I won't doubt you."

"But going to Jiangling City as a spy is quite risky. If you are caught, it will be difficult for you to survive."

"So before that, I have to ask one more question: Are you willing to die for the Han people?"

Wang Dang and the other three looked at each other and clasped their fists.

"The thief Sun Quan attacked Jiangling and made us become the dogs of the lost home. If we don't get rid of the thief Sun, we will not be able to face our ancestors. I am willing to die for the Han Dynasty!"

"Sun Quan is a thief who only dares to act like a bandit. How can he compare to the general who is kind and righteous and willing to die for the Han Dynasty?"

"This villain is abominable. He imprisoned my wife and children, and still wanted us to be grateful. This hatred and resentment cannot be eliminated unless I kill this villain. I am willing to die for the great man."

"The general did not regard us as vulgar, but treated us with courtesy. Although we are not scholars, we also know gratitude and are willing to die for the Han Dynasty."

Seeing Wang Dang and the other three swear to die, Liu Feng praised them and stood up: "Great! Now there are four people from Nanjun, Wang Dang, Luo Xin, Shan Xiong, and Pei Qing, who dare to die for the Han Dynasty. As the son of the King of Hanzhong, I swear that I will not let you down in the future."

Wang Dang and the other three were even more moved.

He was a soldier of unknown fame, but Liu Feng still remembered his name.

In order to avoid suspicion when the four returned.

Liu Feng also asked the four men to secretly "instigate" more than ten soldiers to go to Jiangling City, so that if they were asked by the Wu soldiers why they went back, they would have a reason to respond.

Liu Feng patiently explained all the details until the four soldiers remembered them. Then Liu Feng shook the hands of the four soldiers one by one, and finally saluted them and said solemnly:
"Please be careful on this trip. I hope you can all come back alive, and work with me to build great achievements, have wives and children honored, and go down in history."

　The comment section is collecting opinions. How do you want to slap Sun Quan in the face? As the little prince who must read every comment in the comment section, I might secretly leave a comment (of course, I will do so without affecting my outline), hehe.
