Zuo Jie looked at Lu Su with a dumbfounded expression. He didn't hear it clearly and hoped that Lu Su could help him explain. But now, Lu Su didn't speak. Only Yang Chen couldn't stand it anymore and said to Zuo Jie.
"Young master Zuo Jie, our master planned a strategy today. He took three thousand troops and directly broke into the enemy's camp. Taking advantage of the moonlight, he caught Lu Meng off guard. It can be said that Lu Meng suffered heavy losses! It can be said that this is the first victory since the siege. "Yang Chen said to Zuo Jie.
"En!" Zuo Jie nodded. "Mr. Yang Kui's contribution can't go unnoticed!"
"Young master Zuo Jie, you have to know that this Lu Meng is not like that. He is Sun Ce's top general. I heard that before Governor Zhou Yu was seriously injured and unconscious, he asked this person to be the next Governor to assist Sun Ce!" Yang Chen added fuel to the fire.
Zuo Jie also knew this Lu Meng. This guy used to be Sun Ce's personal guard captain. Sun Ce would take Lu Meng with him whenever he went out. It can be seen that Sun Ce was close to Lu Meng. Lu Meng also had a way to fight. Soon, he was released by Sun Ce as the commander of tens of thousands of troops.
"But this Lu Meng is not our master's opponent. Young master Zuo Jie, you can ask the brothers over there tonight if Lu Meng was caught off guard by our master." Yang Chen continued to speak. The other generals who accompanied Lu Su also nodded. That's right, today Yang Kui indeed led them to victory. Who didn't like a general who could win a battle? So one by one, they nodded in agreement, saying that they did listen to Yang Kui's command and that Yang Kui's master was a divine strategist. This made Zuo Jie trust Lu Su more.
"Just a little bit, just a little bit, we could have taken Lu Meng's head. What a pity, what a pity!" Yang Chen had a regretful expression on his face.
"Well, Yang Chen, shut up!" Lu Su on the side scolded Yang Chen.
"Mister, Young Master Zuo Jie, I want to say something fair. If Young Master Zuo Jie had given us thirty thousand instead of three thousand, no, even if it was only ten thousand, then Lu Meng's head would have been taken by us right now! Instead of being reflected by Lu Meng's army in time and repelling us! "Yang Chen said with a reluctant look.
"Yang Chen, step back! Young Master Zuo Jie has his own plans, how can it be your turn to speak! "Lu Su angrily rebuked Yang Chen, then he turned to Zuo Jie and apologized." Young Master Zuo Jie. I'm sorry, it's my, Yang Kui's, lack of education that caused Young Master Zuo Jie to laugh at me. I hope that Young Master Zuo Jie won't hold a grudge against me. "
"Ai!" Zuo Jie waved his hand and said magnanimously. "It's fine, it's fine! Mister Yang Kui, are you really going to take Lu Meng's head today? "Zuo Jie was not magnanimous, but he was stunned by the news.
Who was Lu Meng? He was Sun Ce's confidant, and now the deputy general of the Jiangdong Army. If he could kill Lu Meng, then it would be a huge blow to the Jiangdong Army's morale. Perhaps, they could really rely on Lu Meng's head to win the battle of Kuaiji.
"This Lu Meng, this Yang did see him!" Yang Kui said to Zuo Jie.
"Really?" Zuo Jie's eyes began to shine.
Yang Kui did not speak, but Zuo Jie's subordinate helped Yang Kui to speak. "Of course it's true. Young Master, you don't know, at that time, we were only a few steps away from Lu Meng's main tent. I even looked at Lu Meng!" This subordinate was naturally exaggerating. Indeed, they had seen Lu Meng's commander's flag, but Lu Meng himself was not seen by Zuo Jie's subordinates. Because they saw Lu Meng himself, they were already dead. However, as a general, naturally, they would report the good news and hide the bad news. Saying that they saw Lu Meng, they would gain face in front of Zuo Jie. "If we have more brothers today, I, Old Xu, will be the first to go up and take Lu Meng's head, and give it to Young Master as a wine pot!"
"Old Xu, can you do it?"
"Why can't I? I, Old Xu, am not a coward. Give me another thousand troops and I will definitely take Lu Meng's head! "
"Haha! Old Xu, can't you do it? "A thousand troops to kill one person, if they could not kill one person, then they really should not come out to mingle. Laughter and anger resounded in the city.
"We met Lu Meng!" Young Master Zuo Jie did not even drink his wine. He stood up and walked around, muttering, "We met Lu Meng!" Young Master Zuo had a special liking for Lu Meng. If he could get Lu Meng's head, then he would have a lot of face in front of Lord Sun Quan.
Suddenly, Young Master Zuo asked Yang Kui who was drinking wine on the side, "Mr. Yang Kui, how many troops do I need to give you to help me take Lu Meng's head? "I can see that our Young Master Zuo is tempted. He wants Lu Meng's head as a decoration for his merit.
"Ten thousand? Twenty thousand? Thirty thousand? "Zuo Jie asked Yang Kui.
Yang Kui shook his head and said, "Young Master, this is a serious matter. It is better to inform Governor Zuo!" Yang Kui said to Zuo Jie.
"Why should I tell him?" Zuo Jie immediately discarded the thought of his father. It was no wonder, he originally saw himself and his father as one. But because Lu Su mentioned his second brother, Zuo Jie's thoughts immediately changed. That's right! What's his father's is his father's, what's mine is mine. No matter what, half of his father's things should be given to his second brother. If he gave this merit to his father, then his second brother would get half of it. This made Zuo Jie feel uncomfortable in his heart. 'I'm fighting for my life here, but your second brother is living comfortably at home. But in the end, he still has to share the benefits with you. Who would feel comfortable in their hearts? Moreover, the key point is that Zuo Jie feels that his father, Zuo Li, has started to favor his second brother. If he doesn't pass the position to Zuo Jie, then wouldn't he suffer a big loss?'
"Young Master Zuo Jie, if we don't inform Governor Zuo, we will need to mobilize fifteen thousand people. Can you make this decision?" Yang Kui pretended to be in a difficult position and asked. "The military power is in Governor Zuo's hands. If we use it privately, it will make things difficult for Young Master Zuo. It is better to inform Governor Zuo!" Yang Kui was thinking for Zuo Jie.
"What did you say?" Zuo Jie suddenly asked Yang Kui.
"I said, it is better to inform Governor Zuo!" Yang Kui said to Zuo Jie.
"Not this sentence, is it another sentence?" Zuo Jie shook his head and asked Yang Kui.
"If we use too many soldiers, you can't make the decision!" Yang Kui continued to say.
"Not this sentence either!" Zuo Jie did not react to this sentence.
"How many people did you say you need?" Zuo Jie asked Yang Kui.
"Fifteen thousand people? No, no, ten thousand is enough! "Yang Kui looked at Zuo Jie doubtfully and said the number.
"Fifteen thousand people! How can ten thousand people be enough? I, Zuo Jie, know Lu Meng. He is Sun Ce's confidant and is very good at military strategy. If Zhou Yu passes away, Lu Meng will be the next Governor of Jiangdong. This person is very talented. Ten thousand people are not enough. Fifteen thousand people are enough. " Zuo Jie said to Yang Kui. "I will give you fifteen thousand people. Mr. Yang Kui, are you confident you can take Lu Meng's head?"
"Yes, and no!" Yang Kui said to Zuo Jie.
"What do you mean?" Zuo Jie frowned. He was looking forward to Yang Kui's definite answer. However, Yang Kui's answer was like this.
"What I mean is, how many elites are there among the fifteen thousand people?" Lu Su smiled and asked Zuo Jie. There was a lot of exaggeration here. If you said that the 15,000 soldiers were all inferior, like those farmers who just picked up weapons, then even if Lu Su was the God of War, he still wouldn't be able to deal with Lu Meng. But if you said that all the soldiers were elites, then Lu Su would dare to go out of the city and fight with Lu Meng in the open, fighting force with force.
"Last time, Mr. Yang Kui had three thousand soldiers and five hundred elites. This time, Mr. Yang Kui brought fifteen thousand soldiers. The number of elites must be no less than fifteen hundred. No, no!" Zuo Jie gritted his teeth and said to Yang Kui. "It must be no less than two thousand!"
"Two thousand elites?" Lu Su's eyes flickered. Two thousand elites seemed to be Zuo Jie's limit. One must know that there were only three thousand elites on the city wall. If Zuo Jie took out two thousand of them, then there were at most a thousand veterans on the city wall. No matter how many commoners there were, it wouldn't make up for it.
"If there are two thousand elites among the fifteen thousand soldiers, then I, Yang Kui, can't guarantee that Lu Meng's army will be defeated!" Yang Kui said to Zuo Jie. "If Lu Meng doesn't retreat, then I, Yang Kui, will bring my head to see him."
"Then what do you mean by no?" Zuo Jie asked.
Yang Kui drank a mouthful of water and said to Zuo Jie. "Young Master Zuo Jie, Lu Meng is not a three-year-old child. Similarly, he is not a mediocre person. I, Yang Kui, am confident that I can break his camp. However, to kill Lu Meng? This is really difficult. "
"Why is that?" Zuo Jie did not understand. Why can't they kill Lu Meng after breaking his camp?
"Our family's master means that once we break Lu Meng's camp, Lu Meng will naturally escape. At that time, we will be busy dealing with Lu Meng's defeated soldiers. How can we find Lu Meng?" Yang Chen explained to Zuo Jie.
"So that's how it is!" With such an explanation, Zuo Jie immediately laughed. Lu Meng's head seemed to be something in their hands. Breaking his camp and Lu Meng escaping? Wasn't this telling Zuo Jie that Yang Kui was very confident?
"So, Jie can rest assured that these fifteen thousand soldiers will be given to Mr. Yang Kui! Mister Yang Kui, you'd better prepare early and take down that kid Lu Meng. I, Zuo Jie, hereby swear that if Mister Yang Kui can break this siege, I, Zuo Jie, will definitely give Mister Yang Kui a mouthful of food! I will not treat Mr. Yang Kui unfairly. " Zuo Jie promised Yang Kui benefits. Although Yang Kui did not care in his heart, he was grateful on the surface.
"Many thanks for young master Zuo Jie's trust!" Yang Kui said to Zuo Jie. Then he sat down and continued to drink.
"What else does Mr. Yang need? Just tell me!" Zuo Jie said to Yang Kui.
"Not now! If there is a need, I will ask young master Zuo Jie for it. "Yang Kui drank a mouthful of wine and said.
"What do you mean, Mr. Yang?"
"Young master Zuo Jie, we just attacked the enemy camp last night. Zuo Jie, do you think that Lu Meng will not be on guard tonight?" Yang Kui smiled and asked Zuo Jie. Zuo Jie nodded. That's right. If he, Zuo Jie, was the one who was ambushed that night, he would definitely be on guard the next day. That way, it would be impossible for him to repeat the same trick.
"What about you, Mr. Yang?"
"Let's rest for a day or two and let our brothers have some fun. After two days, Lu Meng's army will be defeated." Yang Kui said confidently.
"Then everything depends on Mr. Yang!"
"Young master Zuo Jie, are you really not going to tell Governor Zuo Li?" Yang Kui continued.
"There's no need for that. It's better to leave this matter to us juniors. Father is getting old, and it's time for him to rest." Zuo Jie was already preparing to seize power after being provoked by Yang Kui again and again.
"Haha!" Yang Kui smiled but didn't say anything. His eyes flashed with craftiness. Fifteen thousand soldiers was the limit of Zuo Jie's strength that Yang Kui knew. If Zuo Jie had more, then it would have alarmed Zuo Li. Lu Su didn't want to alarm Zuo Li because Zuo Li was not only conservative, but he was also wary of Lu Su. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let Lu Su have no access to military power and even let his eldest son supervise Lu Su. If Zuo Jie wasn't too stupid and crazy about making contributions, then Lu Su wouldn't have been able to gain Zuo Jie's trust so easily.
The reason why Lu Su brought up this matter was to make Zuo Jie feel disgusted with his father, Zuo Li. It could be said that Zuo Jie felt a sense of rebellion. The more his father didn't take Zuo Jie seriously, the more Zuo Jie wanted to do the same. Previously, Lu Su had led his troops to sneak attack Lu Meng's army and brought great results. This was enough to make Zuo Jie stand out. But if he told Zuo Li, then Zuo Li would be even more vigilant against Lu Su.
Now that Lu Su had successfully stimulated Zuo Jie's rebellious attitude towards his father, it could be said that Lu Su was relieved. At least, there would not be any problems in the next two days.
Sure enough, as soon as Zuo Jie came out of the south gate, he immediately ordered the guards and the other guards to keep their mouths shut. He ordered them to guard their mouths and not to reveal half a word to his father. If anyone leaked even a little bit, then Zuo Jie would make that person suffer a fate worse than death even if he was punished by Zuo Li.
Although Zuo Jie did not have any prestige in the Zuo family, he did have a fierce aura because he was a person who could not do anything right. If you asked him to help you, he might not be able to help you but if he wanted to do something bad, then there was nothing you could do.
Although it was difficult to kill a guard, it was not impossible. If Zuo Jie killed you with a knife, then Zuo Li would at most punish him. Zuo Li could even kill his own son to pay for it. This was impossible.
Therefore, when they were threatened by Zuo Jie, they were all scared witless and kept their mouths shut.
Governor Zuo Li had also been on the city wall for the past two days. He observed Lu Meng's camp in the south gate. Zuo Jie treated the heads obtained from Lu Meng's camp as a reward for his soldiers. Zuo Li nodded to Zuo Jie in approval. Lu Meng was still attacking the south gate as usual. It seemed that they had a tacit understanding with each other. Zuo Li knew that Zuo Jie was hiding his old man. Lu Meng's army didn't mention a single word about the battle that night, they didn't even mention the battle that night. Zuo Jie couldn't help but sigh in relief.
