Chapter 539 Shi Emblem

   In May of the fourth year of Jianxing, Cao Pi died of illness.

  In June, the news spread to the Han and Wu countries. The prime minister of the Han Dynasty wrote to Sun Quan, wishing the two countries to join hands in the Northern Expedition.

   In July, Lu Dai, the governor of Guangzhou, went to Shu Sun Quan, asking for the crime of disobedience against Shi Hui.

  Sun Quan saw that the north was in turmoil, and the Shu State wanted something for himself. He knew that neither country would cause trouble for him at this time. It was a good time to calm down Jiaozhou, so he agreed to Lu Dai's request.

  Lv Dai was authorized by Sun Quan to personally lead 3,000 soldiers to set off from Panyu, take a boat by sea, travel day and night, and arrive at Hepu at the fastest speed.

  Hepu is the dividing point between Guangzhou and Jiaozhou.

  Dai Liang, the governor of Jiaozhou, was blocked by the soldiers of the Shijiazong from Jiaozhou because of Shi Hui's rebellion, so he could only stay here.

   Three thousand soldiers set up camp outside Hepu City. Dai Liang welcomed Lu Dai into the city and hosted a banquet to welcome him.

  Lv Dai is now sixty-six years old, but he acts vigorously and resolutely, and directly refuses the banquet.

   And said with great emotion, "I was ordered by the King of Wu to lead an army to quell the chaos. Now that the rebellion is in front of me, I can't wait to go to battle and kill the enemy immediately. How can I have the mood to go to the banquet?"

  Although Lu Dai and Dai Liang are both governors of a state, because of his military exploits, Lu Dai has the title of Marquis of the Capital, the post of General Annan, and the right to fake festivals.

  Those who violate the military order can be killed directly in wartime.

  So Lu Dai's actual status is much higher than that of Dai Liang.

   Now listening to Lu Dai's orders, Dai Liang had no choice but to withdraw the banquet and change it to a front-of-the-army meeting.

   "Old General Lu, the terrain of Jiaozhou is dangerous, and Shi Hui relied on the favor of his predecessors to deceive the people of Jiaozhou and gain the support of everyone, so we should not take it lightly."

   Dai Liang saw that Lu Dai was eager to march into Jiaozhou, and couldn't help worrying that he would advance too lightly, so he persuaded him.

Lu Dai nodded, "What Governor Dai said is reasonable, and I know this, so I urged the army to advance earlier. Shi Hui has countermeasures in his heart, and now there are Jiaozhou nobles in Jiaozhou who know the righteousness and rebel against him. He is busy suppressing him. The clan's soldiers."

"I killed him suddenly, he must have been unprepared. If our army attacked him unprepared, he would have achieved great success. If he hesitated, wait for him to be prepared, withdraw his troops and defend the city, and then use the prestige of the scholars to order all the barbarians in Jiaozhou to raise troops to help. "

   "At that time, we will not only have to face the ancestral soldiers of Shihui, but also the fierce and brave barbarians of Jiaozhou. I am afraid that it will be difficult to conquer at that time. Therefore, we should remove them in time before they become popular, so as to avoid endless disasters."

  Lv Dai has fought for the Sun family for more than 20 years, and has his own views on the battle formation. As soon as he said this, everyone present felt that it was reasonable.

   "Then how should we march?"

  As the highest position under Lu Dai, Dai Liang took the lead in asking.

   "Warrior, attacking the heart is the top priority, and attacking the city is the bottom." Lu Dai had a somewhat inscrutable smile on his face, "Come here, please come in."

   After a while, a short, dark-skinned man walked in timidly, and saluted Lu Dai, "The last general has met Governor Lu and all the generals."

   "General Zhonglang doesn't need to be polite, come here, please sit down." Lu Dai personally invited Shi Kuang to his seat, and then introduced him to everyone.

"General Shi Zhonglang is the elder brother of Shi Hui, and Shi Hui is a rebellious thief, but General Shi Zhonglang knows the general situation and refuses to be rebellious. Now he is enlisted by me as a teacher and friend, and he will conquer the state with me. To clarify the mind."

  When Shi Kuang heard this, he got up quickly again, with a terrified expression, "The scholar's family has received the great favor of Lord Wu, and death is not enough to repay it. My family uncle has paid tribute year after year, just to show his loyalty."

"I didn't expect that the clan uncle just passed away, but my clan brother is so ignorant of the general situation. If he wants to fight against the heavenly soldiers to separate one side, it is really an act of mantis' arm. A certain incompetent person wants to attach the tail of General Lu to clear our family. .”

  The words were supposed to be generous, but the speaker had a timid expression and a flattering tone. After hearing this, everyone present felt a strange feeling, and at the same time felt a little contemptuous of him.

   Only Lu Dai laughed and said, "Zhonglang really understands the righteousness of what he said! The scholar's family has guarded Jiaozhou for decades, and is deeply loved by the people of Jiaozhou. He has made great contributions for a long time."

   "For the sake of Marquis Longbian (Shi Xie), I don't want to persecute the Shi family too much. Therefore, I want to ask General Zhong Lang to bring a letter and send it to the Shi Xie."

   "And told him that because of his momentary confusion, if a certain Nian could admit his guilt and surrender, he would never pursue his past crimes. Although he lost his position as the county guard, he was still a rich man."

   "But if you are lucky, refuse to surrender, and try to take advantage of the danger to defend yourself, someone will personally take the head of the king in a few days."

   Upon hearing this, Shi Kuang said quickly, "Since General Lu has an order, how dare the villain disobey? The villain has been traveling all night today, and will definitely try his best to persuade the clan brother to make him come back when he is lost."

   "Okay, okay, then there will be General Lao Zhong."

   Lu Dai smiled in satisfaction.

  At this moment, Dai Liang, who was below, also said, "General Lu, one of the subordinate officials' staff has a close relationship with the Nashi family. Let him also write a letter and send it to persuade them together."

  Lv Dai was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked, "Who is it?"

"This man's surname is Zhang, his first name is Bai, and his character is Jianyi. He is a member of the Zhang family in Wu County. He was exiled here because he was burdened by his brother Zhang Huishu. A certain person has tried his talent and is indeed worthy of the name of a child of the Zhang family. That’s why he’s accepted as a disciple.”

  Exiled people, except for the ones who are specially handed over to guard them, otherwise when they arrive at the frontier, they will generally live and die, and no one will care about you.

  In addition, there are few Han people and many barbarians in the borderlands, and Han people who can read and write are even rarer. Therefore, although Zhang Bai cannot be an official, Dai Liang loves his talent and accepts him as a guest, which is still in line with the unspoken rules.

   "Zhang family in Wujun?" Lu Dai's expression changed when he heard this, and then he seemed to remember something, and then smiled again on his face, "Since that's the case, that's really the best."

  When Dai Liang heard this, he quickly waved his hands and said, "Jian Yi, come here and greet General Lu quickly."

  No one noticed the momentary change of expression on Lu Dai's face.

  However, when Shi Hui decided to rebel against Wu, his subordinate official Huan Lin kowtowed to persuade him. Shi Hui was furious, first tortured Huan Lin, and then killed him.

  This approach caused fierce resistance from the Huan family, and Huan Zhi, the elder brother of Huan Neighbor, and Huan Fa, his nephew, led the Zong soldiers to attack Shi Hui.

  The two sides fought for several months, and the stalemate could not be resolved, so they had to negotiate a peace and strike.

  On this day, Shi Hui was racking his brains on how to defeat the Huan family's clan soldiers. He suddenly heard that Kuang, a brother of the family, had returned from the Wu army and brought news of the Wu army, so he was invited in quickly.

   "Little brother has met brother!"

  As soon as Shi Kuang came in, he gave a big gift directly.

   "My brother, there is no need to be polite. You fell into the state of Wu, and I thought you had an accident, but I didn't expect you to return safely."

   Shi Huipi said with a smile on his face.

  Hearing this, Shi Kuang cursed directly in his heart. Damn, when you rebelled, did you really not know that I was still in Wu? I'm afraid I never thought about it, right?

  If Lao Tzu and Lu Dai were not old acquaintances, and they immediately expressed their attitude when they saw that the limelight was wrong, their heads would have been chopped off long ago!

It's just that now that he has a heavy responsibility and is on the territory of Shihui, it's not easy to turn his face. He also piled up a hypocritical smile at the moment, "Thank you for your concern, brother. There is an important thing to escape from the Wu army this time. Tell your brother to listen."

  When Shi Hui heard this, the smile on his face disappeared, and he sneered, "Could it be Wu Guo's letter of persuasion?"

  Shi Kuang's face froze, and he laughed dryly, "It is true that the people of Wu sent letters to my elder brother, but what my younger brother wants to say is not about this matter."

   "Don't mention the Wu people's persuasion to surrender!"

Shi Hui said resolutely, "As long as I break the soldiers of the Huan family, who else in Jiaozhou will dare to resist me? At that time, I will raise my troops to the east and occupy the important area of ​​Hepu. The land of Jiaozhou will be ours. The scholars have the final say."

   "How can I not do what my lord was able to do back then? At that time, Sun Quan, no matter how much he doesn't want to recognize me as the governor of Jiaozhou, he will have to hold his nose to recognize me."

   "Besides, my family has been running for several generations, and this is how it is today. How can it be handed over to others within one dynasty?"

   "The elder brother's words can be regarded as reaching the younger brother's heart." Shi Kuang heard Shi Hui's words, and he also sighed, "If it is possible, who is willing to give away the foundation?"

  I think that when the clan uncle was there, the scholar's family in Jiaozhou really responded to everyone's call, and everyone obeyed every order. Who wouldn't want to go on like this if they had no choice?

   "It's just brother, Lu Dai, the governor of Guangzhou, has led his army to Hepu now. I wonder if you have a way to defeat the enemy?"

  Nostalgia for the past time can only be nostalgia, just what should be said, still have to be said.

  Shi Hui, who was originally impassioned, changed his face when he heard this, "How could Wu Bing be so fast?!"
