Chapter 6 Lu Matong(1/2)
A monk who can run away cannot run away from the temple.
When Mo Dun returned to the camp and found out that he had been deceived, he rushed back immediately. When he found that the city in front of him was actually an empty city, the fire of anger burned in his chest.
Mao Dun's eyes were filled with hatred, and he completely exposed the jackal's chest: "Burn this city for me. This will be a disgrace to our great Huns!"
Shangjun City began to burn with raging fire, and the deep houses and courtyards crackled and collapsed in the firelight. Finally, even the city walls burned red and turned into powder and collapsed like explosions. There were constant booms and loud noises. Shangjun City was like a sea of fire, transparent day and night.
Modun immediately rode up the hill outside the city and looked down at Shangjun. He had a bird's eye view of the blazing fire, and roared with a gloomy face: "Send the order to pursue. I will kill all the cunning Qin people, leaving no one behind!"
Wang Zhu made a fatal mistake. He only took away non-agricultural goods in the city and forgot about the people in nearby villages. From Shangjun to Beidi, there were 20 or 30 villages with thousands of acres of fields, totaling tens of thousands of people.
All the people became sacrifices to the Huns.
There are no chickens or dogs left within a hundred miles, it's so cruel and bloody like mist!
Since the corpses were piled high on the mountain, which greatly hindered the speed of the cavalry, Mao Dun had to assign men to carry the corpses in front to open a road.
The Huns soldiers ate up the nearby villages like locusts passing through the border. The army continued to advance towards Beidi County.
When Wang Zhu heard that the people outside the city were being massacred, he was filled with grief and anger. He secretly blamed himself for his lack of actual combat experience. It turned out that Liu Bei was not such a good person and had caused so many people to suffer!
At that time, Xia Houying's words reminded Wang Zhu: "Your Majesty, there is no need to feel sad. As the old saying goes, a general can achieve great success, let alone an emperor. The most important thing right now is to defeat the Huns and avenge the people!"
The 100,000-strong main force led by Li Xin, Sima Xin and others entered the city last night! The top of Beidi City has been fortified. Lime, kerosene, and millstones have all been transported to the top of the city, and the soldiers have been deployed.
"What can you do to repel the enemy?" Wang Zhu and Xia Houying were patrolling the city with their hands behind their backs!
Xia Houying thought to himself, if I had a way, I would have said it a long time ago. Who wouldn't rush to say this good thing? Why are you still waiting for you to ask?
"I really don't have any good ideas at the moment! If you fight hard, you will definitely suffer losses!" Xia Houying hunched over and secretly peeked at Wang Zhu from the corner of his eyes, fearing that he would change his face.
"You won't be able to fight head-on. If Guanzhong's soldiers are worth 200,000 yuan, there's not much chance of winning against his 150,000 yuan -" Wang Zhu took a deep breath, looked up at the starry sky, and suddenly thought, if there was someone like Zhuge Liang who knew astronomy,
It would be nice if someone with knowledge of geography came to assist me. But the famous counselors of this era, such as Zhang Liang, Fan Zeng, Li Zuoche, and Kuai Tong all hated Qin II to the bone, so why would they come to serve the Qin Dynasty? Chen
It's okay. He has no hatred against the Qin Dynasty. He is greedy for money, lustful and has bad conduct, but he can be won over by gold, silver, jewelry and flower girls. Water from afar cannot quench the thirst of the near, so what should we do now?
Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps from below the city. Zhang Han, Sima Xin, Li Xin, Zhang Yi, Qin Ao, Qin She, Wang Ling, Li Shiqi, and Wang Ben came hand in hand.
"Your Majesty, the Huns soldiers will arrive at the city tomorrow. Do you have any instructions?" Zhang Han asked first.
The night is as cold as water! The north wind lifts my hair!
A bonfire was lit every ten steps on the top of the city. The soldiers stood with their spears straightened, as if they were holding an ice pimple in their hands. Although the Qin army was well equipped and the people standing guard were all strong young soldiers, there were still some
Unable to withstand the cold winds day and night.
"Clang!" A spear lay across Su Yu's feet, followed by a black shadow falling down. Zhang Han moved quickly, and with a clang, he pulled out his sword and stood in front of Su Yu: "There is an assassin!"
Although the Qin army was not as powerful as the Xiongnu barbarians, its discipline was unprecedented. These three words spit out from Zhang Han's mouth were like beating a three-way charge drum. All the soldiers who could hear it turned around mechanically and stood up.
With their spears at the ready, they gathered at pace, but they did not dare to get close. They only guarded Wang Zhu ten feet away, with their eyes shooting out the light of war eagles, waiting for Wang Zhu's big wave at any time.
"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous. It's not an assassin, it's just someone who fainted." Wang Zhu saw a soldier in his mid-twenties with a slovenly beard fainted at his feet. He hurriedly squatted down and used both arms to help him up.
, placed behind the arrow stack and leaning against the city wall.
The soldier's face was livid, his hands and feet were cold, his whole body was huddled up, he was shaking like a rocker, and he kept talking nonsense.
Wang Zhu reached out and touched his forehead: "He has a fever!" He quickly took off his cotton-padded cloak and covered him: "Send him back and replace him with someone else to stand guard. In the future, if there are sick soldiers, they can ask for sick leave. It's okay to go to the battlefield like this."
It can only suddenly add another corpse, which is of no use at all."
Wang Ling was in charge of the city defense, and he quickly waved to a few people to carry him back. The young man suddenly woke up and found the emperor squatting beside him. He kept sighing and felt extremely excited. He also found that the king's cloak was covering him, and he could no longer see the emperor.
Unable to control himself, he got up with difficulty, knelt in front of Wang Zhu and cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry for you! Just kill me! It's better for me to be dead than alive!"
Wang Zhu was confused and stood up with a smile: "It's hard to defend the border and you want to retreat. This is not good. Get up and take a look. Look outside. The Huns are galloping around and displaying their power, killing innocent people, burning, killing, looting and committing heinous crimes. You soldiers, including
With me inside, I am the eagle and dog of the country. When there is peace, the country will support us. When the people in Guizhou are bullied and foreign enemies invade, we people will be the sharp swords unsheathed, vowing to behead the enemies!"
Wang Zhu shamelessly stole a poem and recited it impassionedly: "'Aspirations eat the meat of Huns when they are hungry, and they laugh and drink the blood of Huns when they are thirsty!' Soldiers, how can we be home before the Huns are destroyed! Even if I let you go home,
If we don’t fight anymore, will these Hun dogs let you go? Wherever they go, the red ground is ablaze with fire. They kill, burn, and rob them all. Even if they run to the ends of the earth, they will still die! We will never be slaves to the subjugation of our country!"
Yue Fei's Manjianghong stimulated the patriotic enthusiasm of Qin soldiers, and they all raised their arms and shouted: "Revenge, revenge, revenge--"
All the generals around Wang Zhu were also excited, their eyes were hot, their noses were sore, and their scalps were tight!
Wang Ben's eyes filled with tears: "What a great statement about eating Huns' meat when hungry, and laughing about thirsting for Huns' blood. Although I am old, I also want to drink a cup of Huns' dog blood to satisfy my hunger!"
Wang Zhu originally thought that these words could inspire the soldier, but the soldier cried even more miserably: "Your Majesty, you misunderstood, that's not what Qian Shou meant!"
When Wang Zhu heard this, he was dumbfounded and expressed his wrong feelings!
"Then what do you mean?"
"Your Majesty, this villain is - a spy sent to the army by Xiang Yu -"
"Qiang Qiang Qiang Qiang", the words fell, and a dozen sharp swords were immediately unsheathed: "Protect Your Majesty——"
"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Wang Zhu waved his hand to signal everyone to calm down: "What's your name?"
"Villain——Lu Matong——"
Wang Ben and others had never heard of it, but Wang Zhu was extremely excited: "Bring him to my room, I will interrogate him personally, and by the way, find a doctor to diagnose and treat him!"
Lu Matong finally betrayed Xiang Yu and surrendered to Liu Bang, and led his army to force the King of Chu to death on the bank of Wujiang River. He divided Xiang Yu's body among the generals Wang Yi, Lang Zhongqi Yang Xi, Lang Zhongqi Lu Sheng, and Yang Wu. Liu Bang therefore named the five men
Liehou.
Wang Zhu knew this, but what he didn't know was why Lu Matong betrayed Xiang Yu. Since his two sons were young, they should have the strongest relationship.
"General Lu, please sit down!" Wang Zhu left Wang Ben alone to protect him, and motioned to Lu Matong to sit under Wang Ben's command!
"I don't deserve the title of general. I am just an ordinary soldier!" Lu Matong said with shame on his face.
Wang Zhu smiled and said: "Aren't you a general in the Chu army?"
Lu Matong's face suddenly turned ugly.
"no!"
Wang Zhu didn't believe it. Lu Matong and Xiang Yu were classmates and had always had a good relationship. They also raised troops together in Kuaiji. How could they not be generals? "I offended Xiang Yu -" Lu Matong really didn't know whether to cry or laugh. Xiang Yu.
, Xiang Yu, why are you acting like a child!
"Have you offended Xiang Yu?" Wang Zhu narrowed his eyes and began to doubt this Lu Matong. This seems impossible! But Lu Matong betrayed Xiang Yu in the end. There is always a reason here, right?
!
"Go on! What do you want to do here?"
"Your Majesty, Xiang Yu sent me here to—to—"
Wang Zhu continued: "Are you here to save Yu Ji?"
Lu Matong's eyes lit up and he shook his head: "He came to kill Yu Ji!"
Wang Zhu almost jumped out from behind the short girl: "Killing Yu Ji, is it nothing?"
Lu Matong said frankly: "Because Xiang Yu feels that it is impossible to rescue Yu Ji, and Yu Ji is tortured here and her life will definitely be worse than death!"
What are these words? Xiang Yu is such a bastard, how did he know that Yu Ji wanted to die!
"Then why did Xiang Yu send you here?" Wang Zhu became curious!
"Because Xiang Yu thinks that Yu Ji and I are having trouble!" Lu Matong almost laughed out loud and shook his head helplessly.
Wang Zhu wondered: "The more you talk about it, the more confused I become. What happened?"
Lu Matong sighed: "Your Majesty, the matter is like this -"
It turned out that on the night when Xiang Yu and Yu Ji were having a wedding, Lu Matong did something that he would regret for the rest of his life.
The whole story is like this. Since Xiang Liang presided over Xiang Yu's wedding in the military camp, and Xiang Yu was not as majestic as he is now, some brothers and soldiers who came out of Wuzhong joked about going to the bridal chamber in the evening!
Who wouldn't want to see a girl as beautiful as a flower with her own eyes, let alone the general's wife, who is rumored to be the most beautiful woman in the Chu Kingdom. The bridal chamber was crowded around by eight thousand soldiers and almost fell apart. It was crowded in front and back, and there was no way to get through.
Relying on the fact that he was Xiang Yu's best friend, Lu Matong stood on a high place and said loudly: "The tent is too small. Please go to the door, brothers. It's too cold outside."
As he spoke, he sang a tune that Chu people used to make noise in the wedding room:
"A handful of pearls are sprinkled in the east, and two red candles are glowing red. Two handfuls of pearls are sprinkled in the west, and the empress's appearance is better than that of flowers and jade. Eight handfuls of pearls are sprinkled in the back, and I will be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households. Nine handfuls of pearls are sprinkled high, and the goddess is immortal.
The queen smiled at me."
Lu Matong was so carried away that he walked into the tent and sang loudly. When he counted to nine, he walked right in front of Yu Ji. He said with a playful smile: "Please smile at me, empress."
At this time, Lu Matong made a bold move that made him sweat in the years after thinking about it. He stretched out his hand to pull Yu Ji, trying to ask Yu Ji to stand at the door of the tent so that the brothers could take a look, and as soon as possible
Just leave, there’s no bad intentions!
At this moment, a thunder suddenly sounded in my ears: "Lü Matong, I stamped on you!"
Xiang Yu arrived just in time, and when he saw Lu Matong attacking Yu Ji Mao, his hair and hair spread all over his body, and he screamed strangely. He drew his sword and was about to kill her. If Xiang Liang hadn't arrived in time, Lu Matong would have been cut in half!
It's a good thing that Marquis Wanhu didn't get involved, and he almost lost his head and body!
After Lu Matong finished speaking, he sighed, making Wang Zhu and Wang Ben burst into laughter!
"General Lu, you are too rebellious! That's fine, if you like Yu Ji, I will make the decision to betroth Yu Ji to you!" Wang Zhu was definitely joking.
If Lu Matong dared to nod, Wang Zhu, like Xiang Yu, would have to stamp him down!
