Lu Meng, one of the four Commanders of the Eastern Wu, crossed the river and attacked Jingzhou, forcing Guan Yu to his death.
This person was definitely a famous general.
According to the original history, this Lu Meng should have been promoted by Sun Quan after Sun Ce's death.
Sun Ce was not dead yet, and Lu Meng was still a penniless pawn. It was reasonable for him to be a general under Yuan Shu.
"After we destroy Lu Bu and take down Hefei, we will have to join the River East. It is inevitable that we will start a war with that little tyrant Sun Ce.”
"Drinking horses from the Yangtze River, there must be a water battle general. This Lu Meng appeared at the right time.”
Liu Wu had already made up his mind and closed the list." Send this Lu Meng over. I want to see him."”
Chen Deng passed down the order.
Not long after, a young captive was brought into the hall.
"Greetings, Envoy Liu!”
The young general was neither humble nor overbearing, nor did he panic or fear. He calmly cupped his hands towards Liu Wu.
Such determination made Liu Wu look at him in a different light.
Liu Wu nodded slightly and waved his hand." Lu Meng, I heard that you are quite resourceful. I summoned you here to test you."”
"What do you want to test me on, Envoy Liu?" Lu Meng was startled and quickly cupped his hands.”
"Right now, Lu Bu is leading thirty thousand Huainan soldiers and is marching towards Shouchun.”
"I just want to ask you, if you were me, how would you respond?”
Liu Wu asked calmly.
Chen Deng was curious about what was so special about this Lu Meng that his lord valued him so much and summoned him for a private examination.
He looked at Lu Meng with a smile and wanted to see how he would answer.
"This general believes that when dealing with Lu Bu, we should focus on the heart and attack.”
Lu Meng said without hesitation.
Liu Wu's eyes lit up. He waved his hand and said,""Continue."
"Lu Bu killed Ji Ling and seized military power. The 30,000 soldiers in Hefei were originally afraid of his might and didn't truly submit.”
"Now that you have taken Shouchun, many of the 30,000 soldiers are Shouchun people. You just need to treat the surrendered soldiers well and set an example. The 30,000 soldiers will definitely not be willing to fight to the death for Lu Bu.”
"In this way, even if we can't completely destroy the enemy, at least half of them can escape.”
"From now on, with your god-like military skills, I believe that you will be able to win against Lu Bu!”
Lu Meng explained his plan clearly and calmly.
Liu Wu smiled and looked at Chen Deng.
"This Lu Meng is just a small Uncle Du, but he actually has such wisdom and knowledge. He is truly a wise general!”
"My lord has actually found such a talented general among so many surrendered generals. This ability to judge people is truly admirable.”
Chen Deng was secretly convinced.
He immediately cupped his hands." My lord, this Lu Meng is a talent that can be made. I think he can be put in an important position."”
"Lu Ziming!"
Liu Wu shouted with a solemn expression.
"I'm here!"
Lu Meng stood up and listened to the order.
"This residence will now promote you to the deputy general army and lead the navy commander!”
"I will also give you all the warships in Shouchun. You can choose any soldiers from the Jiangzhong Army to form a navy for the prefecture.”
"I want you to train an elite army that can fight against Sun Ce's Jiangdong Navy within half a year!”
"Do you dare to shoulder this responsibility?"
Liu Wu's voice was like a great bell as he announced Lu Meng's important position.
Lu Meng was stunned.
He suddenly raised his head and looked at Liu Wu with surprise and excitement.
"I'm just a mere Uncle Du and a surrendered general, yet this Envoy Liu thinks so highly of me. Not only did he make an exception and promote me, he even wants me to lead the navy?”
Disbelief and bewilderment echoed in his mind, making Lu Meng think that he had heard wrongly.
Beside him, Chen Deng laughed." General Lu, the lord wants to put you in an important position. Aren't you going to thank him?"”
Lu Meng suddenly woke up. After confirming that he did not hear wrongly, a sense of gratitude arose spontaneously.
"Thank you for your trust, Lord. I, Lu Meng, am willing to go through fire and water for you!”
His voice trembled with excitement and he immediately prostrated himself on the ground.
A system notification sounded in Liu Wu's mind.
"Ding, the Virtuous Corporal Attribute has been triggered. The host has placed Lu Meng in an important position. Lu Meng's loyalty has risen to full value.”
"Host and Lu Meng have established a relationship of monarch and minister.”
"Acquired Attributes: Mo Saber Crafting Technique (Armor Penetration Rate doubled, and 1,000 swords are given), Annoyance Soldier Training Method (Water Battle Ability maxed out, surprise attack success rate doubled), Zheng He Treasure Ship Crafting Technique.”
Three attributes were stored.
Liu Wu's eyes flashed with excitement.
In history, the most elite troops of Dong Wu were proficient in both land and water warfare. They could be compared to the Wu Dang Flying Army of Shu Country and the Tiger Leopard Cavalry of Wei Country.
When Liu Wu fought Sun Ce in the future, what he lacked the most was the navy. This training method was really a timely help!
And Zheng He's Treasure Ship was the strongest warship of the Ming Dynasty, and also the strongest warship in history.
If such a warship could be built, wouldn't they have a higher chance of winning against Sun Ce on the river?
These two attributes were related to water battles. It was within his expectations that they were extracted from Lu Meng.
The craftsmanship of the Mo Blade was a pleasant surprise.
This saber was the standard of the Tang army and was known as the king of sabers. It was the strongest saber in history and was said to be invincible.
The Tang army was able to sweep away the Hu people and was invincible in the world. Mo Dao's credit could not be ignored.
"Yes, these three attributes are all divine artifacts. Today, Lu Meng has received his reward!”
Satisfied, Liu Wu helped Lu Meng up and said boldly,""In the future, when I go to River East and fight against Sun Ce, it will be up to you, Ziming.”
"This general will not live up to my lord's expectations!"
Lu Meng cupped his hands again." I have two colleagues named Jiang Qin and Ding Feng. Both of them are skilled in martial arts and are proficient in water warfare. I would like to recommend these two to my lord to help me build a navy!”
Jiang Qin and Ding Feng were both people who had left their names on the History Board and were originally one of the twelve Tiger Ministers of River East!
"Since you're the one who recommended me, I'll put you in an important position," Liu Wu said happily.”
"My lord, when we first met, you already thought so highly of me. This kind of magnanimity of using people without any doubt is indeed worthy of being the hero of the world."
Lu Meng was secretly impressed. He was only thinking about how to build a navy to repay Liu Wu's kindness.
…
Four days later, a hundred miles south of Shouchun.
About half of the 25,000 Hefei soldiers had fled, leaving only 15,000 people.
The morale of the soldiers was low.
Lu Bu had no choice but to give the order to set up camp and restore morale.
Inside the tent.
"That Liu Bei did everything he could in Shouchun to appease the surrendered soldiers. He even made an exception and promoted a nameless person called Lu Meng to be the commander of the navy.”
"Those old subordinates of Yuan Shu are now deeply grateful to Liu Wu and all of them are loyal to him.”
"When this news reached our army, the hearts of the soldiers from Huainan were shaken and they fled by the thousands.”
"In just these few days, more than 10,000 people have fled!”
Cao Xing reported silently with a long face.
"Big-eared thief!"
Lu Bu smashed the table with a punch and cursed,""You actually used such a method to disintegrate my morale. You're really cunning and despicable!”
