Chapter 480 The Battle of Yiling (2)

During the Battle of Jiangling, Lu Meng made great contributions. Sun Quan appointed him as the prefect of Nanjun, and was granted the title of Marquis of Chanling, giving him 100 million yuan in money and 500 kilograms of gold.

Although Lu Meng likes to show off, he just wants a greater future. He doesn't want to make Sun Quan unhappy. He refuses again and again and refuses to accept money, but Sun Quan does not allow it.

After the celebration banquet, Lu Meng's title had not been promulgated yet, and the reward was still stored in Sun Quan's warehouse. Lu Meng, who pretended to be drunk, returned to the camp and had a real disease.

Lu Meng himself is also a master of conspiracy and tricks. He attaches great importance to intelligence work and is also very sensitive to danger.

Sun Quan used the intelligence system to investigate Lu Meng, and Lu Meng was aware of it.

Lu Meng's ally Zuo Xian was suddenly transferred to Lingling for work. Others did not doubt it, but Lu Meng raised his vigilance.

When Jia Hua investigated Lu Meng, the shrewd Lu Meng only found a little strange, but he still became afraid of Sun Quan.

Lu Meng remembered Zhou Yu's arrow injury, and his condition worsened after drinking the wine rewarded by Sun Quan.

At that time, Zhou Yu's existence directly affected the promotion of Lu Meng and others. Therefore, Lu Meng especially hoped that Sun Quan would attack Zhou Yu, and he was even willing to act as Sun Quan's gunman.

Because he had an idea in his mind, after Zhou Yu was seriously ill, Lu Meng always suspected that Sun Quan had tampered with the wine.

In fact, it was Lu Meng who wrongly accused Sun Quan.

At that time, Sun Quan had not experienced enough in the officialdom and had not reached the point of being cruel and vicious. Zhou Yu really died of poisonous arrows.

Therefore, at the celebration banquet, Lu Meng was suspicious and deliberately let go of his alcohol content. He broke the wine glass while drunk, just because he didn't want to arouse Sun Quan's suspicion.

Who knew that Sun Quan had long suspected Lu Meng, and that this glass of wine was really given chronic poison by Sun Quan.

After all, Lu Meng was a chess-free move and avoided the poisonous wine given by Sun Quan, but did not avoid the plot that Sun Quan arranged by Fu Zun beside him. When Lu Meng was drunk and drank water, he was still poisoned and fell ill before dawn.

Sun Quan plotted against Lu Meng, fearing that the Jiangdong Army would be invincible and defeated when Liu Bei counterattacked Jingzhou.

Of course, Sun Quan was also afraid that Lu Meng would avoid his plot and have different thoughts. It was necessary to stay in the police station, so he lived in Liu Bei's mansion back then.

After Lu Meng was poisoned and became ill, Sun Quan was afraid that the wise doctor would detach the poison, so he took Lu Meng and placed it in his inner hall. On the surface, he tried every means to treat and take care of him, but in fact he was monitoring Lu Meng.

In order to show his desire to cherish Lu Meng, Sun Quan ordered that doctors be recruited nationwide, and those who can cure Lu Meng's disease will be rewarded with a thousand gold medals.

Among the civil and military officials in Jiangdong, Sun Quan and Lu Meng are examples of the mutual accompaniment between the king and the minister.

Sun Quan treated Lu Meng with all his heart. Whenever the doctor gave Lu Meng acupuncture, Sun Quan felt sad when he saw Lu Meng's painful face.

In order to grasp Lu Meng's condition at any time, Sun Quan ordered people to dig through the wall to watch secretly.

After being discovered, Sun Quan made a bold statement that he wanted to see Lu Meng more, but was afraid of affecting his rest, so he did so.

Whenever Sun Quan saw Lu Meng eating something, Sun Quan was very happy and talked and laughed at his subordinates.

If he found that Lu Meng was not eating, Sun Quan sighed, he was unwilling to deal with business and could not sleep at night.

Lu Meng's condition improved slightly, so Sun Quan issued an amnesty order to ask all the ministers to come and celebrate.

More than ten days later, Lu Meng's condition worsened, and the doctors who were diagnosed and treated were helpless.

Sun Quan personally visited the bedside and ordered the Taoist priest to pray for him, hoping to save his life.

I don’t know if it was the Taoist prayer that was working or the rebirth of the day, Lu Meng, who had been unconscious, suddenly woke up.

Because Lu Meng did not drink the wine rewarded by Sun Quan, he did not suspect that Sun Quan had tampered with it, and the news of Zuo Xian's murder did not reach Lu Meng's ears. Therefore, Lu Meng was very moved by Sun Quan's kindness. After sobering, perhaps because he knew that there was not much time, Lu Meng took the initiative to say to Sun Quan:

"I am in a serious condition and have not had much time to do, so I cannot continue to serve my lord. Jiangling's guard is very important. Zhu Ran's courage and career are enough. I think he can accept the appointment on my behalf."

Lu Meng eventually died in Sun Quan's inner palace at the age of 42.

Sun Quan was extremely sad and shrank his food and sluggishly to show his condolences.

During his lifetime, Lu Meng's gold, silver, treasures and various rewards he received were sent to the treasury for collection.

Lu Meng also ordered his supervisors to return all of them to Sun Quan after his death.

He also left his last words, seeking frugality in funeral affairs and not being extravagant.

Sun Quan discovered that Lu Meng was really diligent in business, and he also regretted it.

After Lu Meng's death, Sun Quan treated his son Lu Ba with kindness. In addition to inheriting the title, he also gave him 300 households who guarded the tomb of his family and 50 hectares of land to exempt him from land taxes.

Sun Quan and Lu Meng met with the king and his ministers, leaving behind the eternal legend of "A scholar will look at each other for three days after separation."

....

...

On a whim, Cao Cao wrote a secret letter to ask Guan Yu, but Sun Quan sent Guan Yu's head.

Of course, Cao Cao understood Sun Quan’s intention, but he wanted to further consider Sima Yi, so he continued to ask:

"Zhongda's words are reasonable, can he have a good plan to resolve Sun Quan's plan?"

Sima Yi has been neglected by Cao Cao, and now he has received Cao Cao's recognition. He is very excited and makes more effort to suggest:

"This matter is very easy. The king can equip Guan Gong's head, carve a body of fragrant wood to match it, and bury it with the etiquette of a minister. After Liu Bei knew about it, he would hate Sun Quan deeply and try his best to fight south. Our army will observe its victory and defeat! If Shu wins, attack Wu, and Wu wins, attack Shu. If one place is obtained in two places, the other place will not last long."

Cao Cao followed his plan and sent Sun Quan's envoy to in.

The envoy presented the wooden box and the guards on both sides opened it. Cao Cao saw Guan Gong's face as usual and asked with a smile:

"Long-gong Yun is fine!"

After saying that, Cao Cao's eyes suddenly blurred and saw that Guan Gong seemed to be speaking.

Cao Cao was shocked and the officials were first aided and woke up after a long time.

Cao Cao asked what he saw, but no one saw the abnormality at Guan Yu's head. Cao Cao thought it was Guan Yu's appearance and said to the officials: "General Guan is a real god!"

In fact, Guan Yu did not show his power, but Cao Cao had a headache these days, he was restless at night, and felt as if he suddenly saw Guan Yu's head and had hallucinations.

But Cao Cao firmly believed that this was Guan Yu's appearance, and Cao Cao believed that Guan Yu's death must have a lot to do with his secret letter, and he was very afraid.

In order to obtain Guan Yu's understanding and repay Guan Yu's kindness for letting go of Huarong Road, Cao Cao did not dare to neglect him.

He ordered his subordinates to set up sacrifices and sacrifices, gathered famous local craftsmen, worked together to carve agarwood as Guan Yu's body, and buried Guan Yu outside the southern gate of Luoyang with the rituals of kings and princes.

On the day of the burial, Cao Cao ordered officials from all over the world to attend the funeral together, which was a huge momentum.

Cao Cao worshiped and presented Guan Yu as King Jing, and sent an official to guard the tomb. From beginning to end, he left the envoys from Jiangdong to watch. After the funeral was completed, the envoys were sent back to Jiangdong.
