Shi Xie said: "Liu Bei knew that the governor would set up a banquet for him, so he asked me to come instead!"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Meng was completely speechless.

Shi Xie said again: "If Jiangdong really wants to make peace, I would like to facilitate this matter for the two families. If the governor doesn't want to make peace, I will go home to eat meat and drink!"

"Of course I would!" Lv Meng smiled, and when one plan failed, another plan was made.

If Liu Bei doesn't come to the Hongmen Banquet today, what about another day?

You can make use of Shi Xie, but it's fine with me.

In this way, Lu Meng and Shi Xie talked about the reunion of Sun and Liu in a grand manner.

Shi Xie enjoyed it and talked about the past from time to time.

At sunset, Lu Meng personally escorted Shi Xie away from Jiaofeng Pavilion.

When Lu Meng turned back to his troops and was about to leave, he suddenly saw a meteor scouting his horse to report.

"Governor, something is wrong!"

"What's wrong?" Lu Meng asked the other party.

Meteor Tanma said: "Zhu Yazhou was breached by Zhang Fei's troops, and nearly a thousand transshipments of our army were robbed!"

"What?" Lu Meng was furious.

The more than a thousand warships on Zhu Yazhou were all owned by Shi Xie.

After Jiangdong took over Jiaozhou, he docked his warships near Zhuyazhou.

But how did Lu Meng think that Liu Bei, the grandson, made peace with him on the surface, but secretly stole, robbed and cheated.

"Zhu Yazhou was breached by Liu Bei?" Lu Xun asked Meteor Tanma, as if he heard it wrong.

"That's right!" Meteor Tanma nodded: "Zhu Yazhou was taken by Zhang Fei, Liu Bei's third brother, and all the warships were taken away!"

"Big-eared thief!" Lu Meng raised his head and yelled.

Chapter 365 Lu Meng was tragically seized power, Wu Hou knelt down and begged Wei Wang to send troops

Zhu Yazhou was captured and the warship was taken away.

For Lu Meng, it was like being struck by lightning.

And this is just the beginning.

Soon, Lu Meng realized a very serious problem.

Zhuyazhou is connected with Hepu County and Zhuya County.

And the land of these two counties is in the hands of Jiangdong.

If Liu Bei wanted to capture Zhuyazhou without going through the second county, he would have to cross the sea from Jiaozhi County to Zhuyazhou.

This means that Liu Bei will have to rely on warships to travel between the two counties.

As long as Jiangdong attacks from the sea, he can cut off the connection between Liu Bei and Zhu Yazhou.

In this way, Zhu Yazhou returned to Jiang Dong's hands.

"Bo Yan, immediately increase the troops to Hepu and Zhuya counties, we must not let Liu Bei take these two counties!"

"As ordered!"

Lu Xun clasped his fists as a signal, and before he could leave, two more meteor scouts came to report.

"Great Governor, Hepu County has been captured by Liu Bei!"

"Zhuya County was captured by Liu Bei!"

"What?" Lu Meng was dumbfounded.

"Impossible!" Pan Zhang waved his hand and said, "Liu Bei's army is only [-]. It is absolutely impossible to conquer two counties and one state in one day!"

Lu Xun suddenly said: "It's very possible!"

"Very likely?" Pan Zhang looked at Lu Xun puzzled.

Lu Xun said: "Hepu County and Zhuya County are guarded by the Jiaozhou army generals. Today, Liu Bei has frequent exchanges with Yuan Hui and Shi Xie. It is entirely possible that the Jiaozhou army generals will surrender to Liu Bei!"

"Shi Xie, Yuan Hui?" Lu Meng chanted the names of these two people, and suddenly realized.

Whether it is Shi Xie or Yuan Hui, the prestige in Jiaozhou is extremely high.

Liu Bei now has a business in Jiaozhou, and now with the secret assistance of these two people, it is indeed possible to win two counties and one state.

"Come on!" Lu Meng shouted, "Catch Shi Xie and Yuan Hui immediately!"

Lu Xun hurriedly stood up to stop him: "The governor, please calm down. If you really arrest the two of them at this time, it will be like pushing Jiaozhou Wenwu to Liu Bei!"

"That's all!" Lu Meng waved his hand.

Lu Xun said again: "The matter has come to this, it is better to report the matter to the lord first, if the lord urges Cao Cao to send troops to help, then Liu Bei will be defeated!"

Lu Meng was silent for a long time, and finally followed Lu Xun's policy, and wrote to Sun Quan to report the battle situation in Jiaozhou, asking him to urge Cao Cao to send troops on his behalf.

After Sun Quan got the letter, he was very depressed.

He only withdrew his troops from Yuzhang County some time ago. He thought that even if Lu Meng would not win the second county of Jiaozhou, he would be able to maintain the status quo.

Unexpectedly, when he left, Lu Meng lost two more counties and one prefecture.

Although Zhuyazhou is an insignificant place, being controlled by Liu Bei and being held by Jiangdong are completely two concepts.

"Zibu!" Sun Quan asked Zhang Zhao, "Why did our army lose so badly?"

Zhang Zhaodao: "My lord, there are two reasons for today's defeat!"

"Oh?" Sun Quan was curious and asked Zhang Zhao, "Which two reasons?"

"Internal reason and external reason!" Zhang Zhao said: "The external reason is that Cao Cao joined forces in Jingzhou and won't send troops in a short time, so Liu Bei took advantage of the loophole!"

"Yeah!" Sun Quan nodded, deeply convinced of this.

Zhang Zhao said again: "And the internal reasons are more complicated!"

Sun Quan waved his hand, "Zibu, but it's all right!"

"Obey!" Zhang Zhao cupped his hands to signal, and then said, "Zhou Yu is feared by the army and people of Jiaozhou! Lu Su is respected by the army and people of Jiaozhou! The general who captured Jiaozhou is Bu Zhi!"

At that time, Zhou Yu took advantage of Cao Cao's decisive battle with Xiliang in Weinan and proposed to capture Jiaozhou.

Sun Quan ordered Bu Zhi to attack Jiaozhou, but the soldiers were bloodless.

A large part of the reason for the surrender of Jiaozhou was the fear of Zhou Yu.

After Zhou Yu's death, Lu Su succeeded as the governor and practiced benevolence in Jiaozhou.

After Lu Su's death, Lu Meng succeeded as the governor.

Bu Zhi, who captured Jiaozhou, was transferred to Nanhai County, the transition zone between Jiaozhou and Jiangdong.

In other words, the three generals who could hold Jiaozhou were not in the power center of Jiaozhou.

The soldiers and civilians of Jiaozhou didn't take Lu Meng seriously at all.

This is how Liu Bei captured two counties and one state in one day.

Sun Quan said, "According to Zibu's opinion, how to deal with this matter?"

Zhang Zhao pondered for a moment, hesitant to speak.

Sun Quan said again: "Zibu doesn't need to worry about it, just speak up if you have something to say!"

Zhang Zhao cupped his hands: "My lord, in my opinion, Lu Meng should be transferred back to Jiangdong immediately, Jiaozhou should be handed over to Lu Xun, and Bu Zhi will handle it for him!"

Sun Quan shook his head: "It's a big taboo for military strategists to change generals before the battle!"

Zhang Zhao then said: "When Lu Meng was promoted to the governor, he took back Jingnan County for me in Jiangdong, but then lost Jiaozhou, and now the two counties have been taken away by Cao Cao. Is the merit outweighing the demerit, or the demerit outweighing the merit?"

"This?" Sun Quan hesitated.

Lu Meng's victory over Jingnan Second Commandery without bloodshed was indeed a beautiful battle for Jiangdong.

But then, Jiaozhou was torn apart by Liu Bei, and Jingnan was taken away by Cao Cao.

All the contributions made by Lu Meng disappeared.

Zhang Zhao said again: "The old minister shouldn't have been involved in military affairs, but Lu Meng has always been good at attacking but not good at defending. If things go on like this, I'm afraid Jiaozhou will fall into the hands of the enemy!"

"Yeah!" Sun Quan nodded his head, deeply appreciating this.

Zhang Zhao continued: "After Lu Meng is abolished, my lord can send someone to see Cao Cao and invite him to send troops to attack Liu Bei, and Jiaozhou will be safe!"

"Okay!" Sun Quan nodded again, and immediately sent Zhuge Jin to Jiaozhou to deliver the order.

Lu Meng and Zhuge Jin have different political views, and there is a lot of filth between them.

"Why did my lord send you here?" Lu Meng asked Zhuge Jin.

Zhuge Jin said: "By the lord's order, please return to Jianye City to meet the lord immediately!"

Lu Meng shook his head: "The battle is imminent, if I return to Jianye City at this time, there will be chaos before the battle!"

Zhuge Jin was puzzled: "Could it be that the governor wants to disrespect the order of the lord?"

Lu Meng could see that Zhuge Jin was provoking, and immediately said: "I will not accept the military orders abroad. After I have handled the military affairs in hand, I will go to Jianye City to see the lord!"

"Okay!" Zhuge Jin nodded and left Jiaozhou overnight.

After returning to Jianye City, he told Sun Quan emphatically what Lu Meng had said.

After hearing this, Sun Quan was furious: "The general is away, and the military order is not accepted? Is this Jiangdong's surname Sun or Lu?"

Zhuge Jin hurriedly said: "My lord, calm down, maybe the governor does have his own difficulties!"

"Difficulties? Who doesn't have difficulties?" Sun Quan snorted coldly, and then sent three urgent orders to Jiaozhou.

This time, Lu Meng was stupid.

I thought I could stick to Jiaozhou in exchange for my lord's continued support and tolerance.

Unexpectedly, in exchange for alienation.

At this moment, Lu Meng realized that he was already feared by the lord.

In desperation, he had to hand over military affairs to Lu Xun, and returned to Jianye City alone to meet Sun Quan.

Sun Quan asked Lu Meng, why did he lose so badly?

Lu Meng told the truth.

Sun Quan said: "In this way, it's not that you are incompetent, but that Zhuge Liang has a plan!"

Lu Meng drooped his head and said nothing, which was considered a tacit consent.

Sun Quan snorted coldly: "I heard that Ziming is plagued by old illnesses, so let's rest in peace at home today and don't bother with military matters anymore!"

"Obey!" Lu Meng was extremely reluctant, but still obeyed Sun Quan's order.

Later, Sun Quan ordered Gu Yong as an envoy to go to Jingzhou to meet Cao Cao.

Chapter 366 There is no food in Jiaozhou, Wu Hou borrows some?

When the news reached Jingzhou, Cao Cao hurriedly summoned Liu Xian to discuss.

"Ziyu, Sun Quan's envoy has entered Jingzhou and will arrive at our camp in three to five days at the most. In your opinion, how should we deal with it?"

Liu Xian said: "The king of Wei will order the class teacher after three days, and wait for the arrival of Sun Quan's envoy!"

Cao Cao smiled: "If you do this, will Jiang Dong believe it?"

"I have no doubts!" ​​Liu Xian said, "Sun Quan has abolished Lu Meng's position as governor. At this time, Jiangdong is facing internal and external troubles. Without the help of King Wei, Jiaozhou may not be able to survive!"

"En!" Cao Cao nodded heavily.

Three days later, Jiangdong envoy Gu Yong came to Cao Jun's camp outside Lingling City.

After entering the camp, it was found that Cao Jun was mostly clearing up the army tents.

Looking at the formation, it seems that there is an intention to send troops to cross the state.

Gu Yong felt a little more confident in his heart, and immediately entered the Chinese army to meet Cao Cao.
